A wise king of Israel said in prayer to Jehovah: “To the foreigner, who is no part of your people Israel and who actually comes from a distant land by reason of your name..., may you yourself listen from the heavens,... and you must do according to all that for which the foreigner calls to you; in order that all the peoples of the earth may get to know your name. ”
Gudrs Izraēlas ķēniņš lūgšanā Jehovam teica: ” Svešnieks, kas pats nav no manas tautas, no Israēla, ja tas nonāk tava vārda dēļ šurpu no tālas zemes,.. tad uzklausi ir viņu debesīs.. un dari Tu visu tā, kā Tevi svešnieks ir lūdzis, lai visas zemes tautas atzīst tavu vārdu. ” ( 1. Ķēniņu 8: 41 — 43.)
