ગુજરાતીપુનર્નિયમ ૧૭:૧૬
ફક્ત આટલું જ કે તે પોતાને માટે મોટી સંખ્યામાં ઘોડાઓ ન રાખે. અને પોતાના ઘોડાઓની સંખ્યામાં વધારો કરવાના મતલબથી તે લોકોને પાછા મિસર ન મોકલે . કેમ કે યહોવાહે તમને કહ્યું છે કે “તમારે હવે પછી કદી એ રસ્તે પાછા જવું નહિ.”
हिन्दीव्यवस्थाविवरण १७:१६
और वह बहुत घोड़े न रखे, और न इस मनसा से अपनी प्रजा के लोगों को मिस्र में भेजे कि उसके पास बहुत से घोड़े हो जाएँ, क्योंकि यहोवा ने तुम से कहा है, कि तुम उस मार्ग से फिर कभी न लौटना।

In context

14When you have come to the land which the LORD your God gives you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, “I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are around me,”

15you shall surely set him whom the LORD your God chooses as king over yourselves. You shall set as king over you one from among your brothers. You may not put a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.

16Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses; because the LORD has said to you, “You shall not go back that way again.”

17He shall not multiply wives to himself, that his heart not turn away. He shall not greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

18It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests.
