"Orphans’ Homes When all is done that can be done in providing for orphans in our own homes, there will still be many needy ones in the world who should be cared for. They may be ragged, uncouth, and seemingly in every way unattractive, but they are bought with a price, and are just as precious in the sight of God as are our own little ones. They are God's property, for whom Christians are responsible. Their souls, God says, “will I require at thine hand.” 6T 286"
"But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand."
The EGW passage directly quotes and alludes to Ezekiel 33:6 with the phrase 'Their souls, God says, “will I require at thine hand.”' This is a clear and explicit connection, indicating a direct reliance on the biblical text.
