By means of his servant Moses, God said to the nation of Israel: “I have put life and death before you,... and you must choose life... by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice and by sticking to him; for he is your life and the length of your days. ”
Melalui hamba - Nya, Musa, Allah berkata kepada bangsa Israel, ” Aku menaruh kehidupan dan kematian di hadapan engkau,... dan pilihlah kehidupan... dengan mengasihi Yehuwa, Allahmu, dengan mendengarkan perkataannya dan dengan berpaut padanya; sebab dia berarti kehidupanmu dan panjang umurmu. ”
