Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Genesis 15:6: “And he (Abraham) believed the Lord and He counted it as righteousness.” The Talmud teaches that trusting in God is more important than anything else. One may keep all the laws of Torah, follow every ritual, but it is only trust that will ultimately save the individual. Remember
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Exodus 33:18: “O’ Let me see your Glory.” I am constantly being drawn back to this passage. What is it that Moses wanted to see. Why did God have to protect Moses from seeing His “goodness?” Did he not just come from Mt. Sinai where he spoke with God face
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Exodus 20:5, 6: “You shall not bow down to them or worship them for I the Lord your God am a jealous God visiting the iniquities of the fathers on the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; I Kings 3:9: Give thy servant therefore an understanding heart to judge Thy people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to Judge this They great people?” Solomon is not asking for wisdom here. He is asking for a “lev shome.'” That is, a listening
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Habakkuk 2:4: “Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him, but the just shall live by faith.” What I find amazing is that this is the only time “faith” is used as a transitive noun. In fact there is only one other time that the word
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Genesis 32:8: “Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed.” There is a question that arises in this verse. This verse appears to be repetitious. He was greatly afraid and distressed. If he was afraid it would stand to reason he was distressed. The sages teach that Scripture does not waste
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Jeremiah 25:5: “They (the prophets) said: ‘Repent now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever.’” Some translations render this passage as “Repent … so that
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Genesis 44:18: “Then Judah came near unto him, and said, ‘Oh, my Lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my Lord’s ears…’” The word for “come near” is “nagas.” This has the idea of drawing near or approaching with an offering, a present or a request.
Good Afternoon Yamon Ki Yesepar; Genesis 44:18: “Then Judah came near unto him, and said, ‘Oh my Lord, let they servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my Lord’s ears…” “Oh, my Lord, let they servant, I pray thee…” is one that has no English equivalent. From the context we can pretty well guess
Good Morning Ki Yesepar; Exodus 23:19: “The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God, Thou shalt not seethe a yearling in his mother’s milk.” It is time I ask you a question. What does the preparation of the yearling have to do with
