Summary/Abstract: It is impossible to find explicit treaties on the vows, in their meaning of evangelical counsels, in the Bible as such. But we do find some mentions in the contexts that are very important in their applications on the vows (evangelical counsels) in the sense of their right and fructuous living and observing. One such context is Deuteronomy 12, significant chapter in the Bible, which opens Deuteronomic Code (12 – 26). Especially verses 12,2-3 are of a particular contribution because of their position, the context already mentioned, and interesting poetic composition. Verses Dt 12,2-3 are composed in ten poetic lines, in which we may find very strong emphasise on pivotal presupposition, which enables good and fructuous living of evangelical counsels.
