When Joshua was entrusted with the responsibility of leading Israel, he was told: “This book of the law [which had been recorded by Moses] should not depart from your mouth, and you must in an undertone read in it day and night, in order that you may take care to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way successful and then you will act wisely. ”
یَهُوَه وقتی مسئولیت رهبری اسرائیل را به یوشَع محوّل کرد به او گفت :‏ « این کتاب تورات از دهان تو دور نشود ،‏ بلکه روز و شب در آن تفکّر کن تا برحسب هر آنچه در آن مکتوب است متوجه شده ،‏ عمل نمایی زیرا همچنین راه خود را فیروز خواهی ساخت ،‏ و همچنین کامیاب خواهی شد .‏ »
