- તો જેને યહોવાહ તમારા ઈશ્વર પસંદ કરે તેને જ તમારે રાજા તરીકે નિયુકત કરવો. તમારા ભાઈઓમાંથી એકને તમારે તમારા શિરે રાજા તરીકે નિયુક્ત કરવો. કોઈ પરદેશી કે જે તમારો ભાઈ નથી તેને તમે તમારે શિરે રાજા નિયુક્ત કરશો નહિ.
- हिन्दी — व्यवस्थाविवरण १७:१५
- तब जिसको तेरा परमेश्वर यहोवा चुन ले अवश्य उसी को राजा ठहराना । अपने भाइयों ही में से किसी को अपने ऊपर राजा ठहराना; किसी परदेशी को जो तेरा भाई न हो तू अपने ऊपर अधिकारी नहीं ठहरा सकता।
