네가 호렙 산에서 네 하나님 여호와 앞에 섰던 날에 여호와께서 내게 이르시기를 나를 위하여 백성을 모으라 내가 그들에게 내 말을 들려서 그들로 세상에 사는 날 동안 나 경외함을 배우게 하며 그 자녀에게 가르치게 하려 하노라 하시매

In reality, the undoubted truth of the matter is that man has full sway over all his actions. If he wishes to do a thing, he does it; if he does not wish to do it, he need not, without any external compulsion controlling him. Therefore, God very properly commanded man, saying, "See I have set before thee this day life and the good, death and evil .... therefore choose thou life",6Deut. XXX, 15. 19. Cf. H. Teshubah, V, 3. giving us, as regards these, freedom of choice. Consequently, punishment is inflicted upon those who disobey, and reward granted to the obedient, as it is said, "If thou wilt hearken", and "If thou wilt not hearken".7Deut. XI, 27. 28. Learning and teaching are also necessary, according to the commands, "Ye shall teach them to your children",8Ibid., XI, 19. "and ye shall do them and observe to do them",9Ibid., V, 1. and, similarly, all the other passages referring to the study of the commandments. It is also necessary to take all the precautionary measures laid down in the Law, such as, "Thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof; that thou bring not blood upon thy house",10Ibid., XXII, 8. "lest he die in the battle",11Ibid XX, 5 or 7. "wherein shall he sleep?"12Ex. XXII, 26. , and "no man shall take to pledge the nether or the upper millstone",13Deut. XXIV, 6. and many other passages in regard to precautions found in the Law and the Prophets.14See H. Teshubah, V, 4, and Moreh, III, 20; cf. Ibn Baud, Emunah Ramah, II, 6, 2, p. 96.
