Deuteronomy 30:3, “That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.” I was reading in the Talmud this morning in Megillah 29a and read something very interesting about his verse.
Exodus 11:7: “But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that you may know how that the Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.” I saw a photo on the internet not too long ago of what was considered the
Ecclesiastes 12:14: “Because God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.” It is interesting that the word for God has an article in front of it. The word for God is haelohim literally means The God which is referring to one who has the ultimate
Ecclesiastes 4:5: “The fool folded his hands together and eats his own flesh.” This could sound a bit creepy if you read it literally. Obviously this is a metaphor.

Deuteronomy 8:4: “Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee. Neither did thy feet swell these forty years.” When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed When you are discouraged thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings named them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. -Johnson Oatman
Genesis 45:27: “And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:” Dt 21:3-4 “And it shall be, [that] the city [which is] next unto the slain man, even
Deuteronomy 4:30-31a: “When thou art in tribulation and all these things come upon thee even in later days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice, (for the Lord thy God is a merciful God) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee.” When I was a
Deuteronomy 3:24: “Oh, Lord God, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness.” This is truly an amazing statement to be made by Moses. The Book of Deuteronomy is really three sermons that Moses delivered to the people of Israel just before they entered the promised land. The first sermon rehashes the 40
