Moses made this clear, stating: “If you will listen to the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you today, so as to love Jehovah your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judicial decisions, then you will be bound to keep alive and to multiply, and Jehovah your God must bless you in the land to which you are going to take possession of it. ” ​ — Deuteronomy 30: 16.
משה הבהיר להם שאם ‏ ’ יאהבו את יהוה אלוהיהם וילכו בדרכיו וישמרו מצוותיו וחוקותיו ומשפטיו ’ אז ‏ ’ יחיו וירבו ויהוה אלוהים יברכם בארץ אשר הם באים שמה לרשתה ’ (‏ דברים ל ’: 16‏) .‏
