DEUT1619 Freedom of Will In The Torah. While the concept of freedom is found in the Torah primarily as an implicit presupposition of human responsibility, there are some rather explicit references to this principle in addition to the assurance to Cain: "And thou mayest rule over it." Moses concludes his farewell address to the people of Israel with the ringing: [this verse]. God Himself does not interfere in the human choice and takes no responsibility for the consequences that follow: "Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good" (Lamentations 3:38). But God is not "neutral" in terms of the human struggle. To be good is to want to do good for others. So that God wants to see man choose the good. "Oh that they would have such a heart as this always, to fear Me and keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them, and their children for ever" (Deuteronomy 5:26).
