"A nation that does not know its past, its future is shrouded in mist," said Palmach commander Yigal Alon, and indeed, the roots of the State of Israel and the IDF are deeply rooted in the history of the entire people of Israel.
Many verses appear in IDF units and bases and outline its course of action, past, present - and future. The other security forces, such as the Shin Bet and the Mossad, also make extensive use of the Jewish book.
On the occasion of Independence Day "Israel Today" and Project 929 present a military quiz that connects the Bible with the essence of Israeliness - service in the IDF.
26 challenging questions will examine not only whether you know where the immortal sentence "From me you will see and you will do" is engraved but also who said it - and why, which chief of staff is not named after a biblical figure, and in which area in Israel "Operation Jebusite" took place in the war Independence.
"Project 929 salutes IDF soldiers on Independence Day of the State of Israel, and would like to thank everyone who wears uniforms for their contribution to the security of the state and the peace of its citizens. Know that your contribution is not self-evident," said the head of the project, Rabbi Bnei Lau.
