ગુજરાતી2 કાળવૃતાંત ૨૫:૪
પણ તેણે તેઓનાં બાળકોને મારી નાખ્યાં નહિ, પણ મૂસાના નિયમશાસ્ત્રમાં જેમ લખેલું છે તેમ કર્યું, એમાં ઈશ્વરે એવી આજ્ઞા આપી હતી, “બાળકોના કારણે પિતાઓને મારી નાખવાં નહિ, તેમ જ પિતાઓને કારણે બાળકોને મારી નાખવા નહિ. તેના બદલે, દરેક વ્યક્તિ પોતાનાં જ પાપનાં કારણે માર્યો જાય.”
हिन्दी2 इतिहास २५:४
परन्तु उसने उनके बच्चों को न मारा क्योंकि उसने यहोवा की उस आज्ञा के अनुसार किया, जो मूसा की व्यवस्था की पुस्तक में लिखी है, “पुत्र के कारण पिता न मार डाला जाए, और न पिता के कारण पुत्र मार डाला जाए, जिसने पाप किया हो वही उस पाप के कारण मार डाला जाए।”
