Proverbs 6:23

For the commandment (Hebr. mitzvah) is a lamp [oil lamp], and the teaching (Hebr. Torah) is light,
and admonishing correction (discipline that leads to order and obedience) is the way to life.
[Jewish tradition has identified 613 mitzvot (plural of mitzvah) in the Torah – the five books of Moses. The word Torah is also used generally to refer to teaching and includes the entire Old Testament.]
