אֶת־יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֶ֛יךָ תִּירָ֖א אֹת֣וֹ תַעֲבֹ֑ד וּב֣וֹ תִדְבָּ֔ק וּבִשְׁמ֖וֹ תִּשָּׁבֵֽעַ׃
פֿאַר ה׳ דײַן גאָט זאָלסטו מוֹרא האָבן, אים זאָלסטו דינען, און אָן אים זאָלסטו זיך באַהעפֿטן, און בײַ זײַן נאָמען זאָלסטו שװערן.
On the Migration of Abraham
[132] Using still loftier language to express the irrepressible craving for moral excellence, he calls on them to cleave to Him. His words are: “Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and Him shalt thou serve, and to Him shalt thou cleave” (Deut. 10:20). What then is the cementing substance? Do you ask, what? Piety, surely, and faith: for these virtues adjust and unite the intent of the heart to the incorruptible Being: as Abraham when he believed is said to “come near to God” (Gen. 18:23).
