What a lifework was that of these noble Hebrews! As they bade farewell to their childhood home, how little did they dream of their high destiny! Faithful and steadfast, they yielded themselves to the divine guiding, so that through them God could fulfill His purpose.

Hvilken livsgerning var ikke dette for disse ædle hebræere! Da de tog afsked med deres barndomshjem, hvor lidt drømte de så om den ophøjede skæbne, der ventede dem! Trofaste og standhaftige overgav de sig til Guds ledelse, så at Gud ved deres hjælp kunne fuldføre sine hensigter.
