If the Israelites had obeyed God’s requirements, they would have been practical Christians. They would have been happy; for they would have been keeping God’s ways, and not following the inclinations of their own natural hearts. Moses did not leave them to misconstrue the words of the Lord or to misapply His requirements. He wrote all the words of the Lord in a book, that they might be referred to afterward. In the mount he had written them as Christ Himself dictated them.{1BC 1107.4}

Hvis israelitterne have adlydt Guds forlangender, ville de have været kristne i praksis. De ville have været lykkelige; for de ville have holdt Guds veje, og ikke fulgt deres egne naturlige hjerters tilbøjeligheder. Moses lod dem ikke misforstå Herrens ord eller anvende hans forlangender forkert. Han skrev alle Herrens ord i en bog, så der senere kan refereres til dem. På bjerget havde han skrevet dem, sådan som Kristus Selv havde dikteret dem.
