This document summarizes the first reading from the parsha Re'eh in the book of Deuteronomy. It describes how Moses instructs the Israelites to obey God's commandments to receive blessings, and warns of curses if they disobey and worship other gods. He tells them to destroy all places of idol worship in the land God will give them, and to only worship God at the place He chooses. It further outlines instructions regarding sacrifices, celebrations, and prohibitions against following false prophets or idolatry.
1. The document discusses Moses recounting to the Israelites the laws and commandments given to them by God, and the consequences for obeying or disobeying these laws.
2. If they obey, God will bless them and protect them, but if they disobey and forget God, they will be punished and could perish like other nations before them.
3. Moses warns them not to be prideful or think it was because of their own righteousness that they will conquer the promised land, but because of the wickedness of the other nations; and he reminds them how rebellious they had been against God in the past.
Deuteronomy is the most quoted book in the Old Testament by Jesus, and so a close examination is worthwhile.
Examination of the 22 places God's name is used in Deuteronomy
included the 10 other places other names are used
1. The document is a collection of passages from the Bible discussing various aspects of prayer. It addresses praying according to God's will, confessing sins to receive forgiveness, searching one's heart during times of trouble, and ensuring family relationships and motives for asking are proper.
2. Key themes are that God hears and answers prayers made according to His will, forgives sins when they are confessed, and blesses His people when they turn from sin. Prayer should include worshipping God through praise, thanksgiving and coming into His presence with singing.
3. Maintaining right relationships with one's spouse is important to avoid hindered prayer, and one must ask for things with good reasons and not for selfish consumption
This passage from the Torah recounts Moses pleading with God to let him enter the Promised Land after God showed Moses His power and might. However, God refuses Moses' request and instead tells him to charge Joshua to lead the people into the land. God then instructs the Israelites through Moses to carefully follow God's laws and commands in order to live long prosperous lives in the land God is giving them.
Moses charges the Israelites to keep God's commandments. He instructs them to set up stones covered in limestone and write the law on them after crossing the Jordan River. The Israelites will build an altar on Mount Ebal and offer sacrifices. Moses also charges the people to stand on separate mountains to bless and curse the people according to their tribes. The document outlines blessings for obeying God and curses for disobeying. It emphasizes the choice between life and death that Israel faces and encourages them to choose life by loving God. Moses encourages the people and introduces Joshua as the new leader who will lead them in conquering the land.
There is only one thing worse than our being deceived by someone, that is, deceiving ourselves. We deceive ourselves when we hear the word of God but do not obey. We deceive ourselves when we think we can associate with sinners and it not affect us. We deceive ourselves when we we say we have no sin. We deceive ourselves when we think our sin is not our fault. We deceive ourselves when we think too highly of ourselves. We deceive ourselves when we defile the temple of God. We deceive ourselves when we think we are wise in this age. We deceive ourselves when we do not control our tongue. We deceive ourselves when we think we can sow one thing and reap another. We deceive ourselves when we can be unrighteous and still make it to heaven.

This document summarizes several sections from the book of Deuteronomy chapters 26-28. It describes Israelites bringing the first fruits of their harvest as an offering and declaring God's faithfulness. They are commanded to tithe every third year and observe blessing and cursing ceremonies. Obedience to God's laws will bring prosperity, while disobedience will result in famine, disease and military defeat until they are destroyed from the land.

The divine seclusion for the sanctified saintBible Preaching
This document discusses the divine seclusion of saints. It argues that saints must sanctify and separate themselves from worldly clutter and uncleanness. Several Bible verses are cited that call believers to come out from among unbelievers, touch not the unclean thing, and sit alone with God. The document suggests this divine seclusion through segregation and sanctification helps protect saints from temptation and rewards them with fellowship with God and cleansing from sin.
Lincoln met with a clergyman who told him that parents across the North were praying for Lincoln's strength and wisdom. Lincoln became emotional and said that without those prayers he would have failed. Lincoln asked the clergyman to pray with him, and they knelt in prayer. Lincoln felt better after the prayer. The document then discusses intercessory prayer, including when and how to pray and what to pray for, such as guidance, justice, and security.
1) The document provides background information on the book of Deuteronomy, including its Greek and Hebrew names. It discusses the structure of Deuteronomy and how it resembles ancient treaties.
2) It summarizes chapters 1-3 of Deuteronomy, including Moses appointing leaders to help govern Israel, their failure to enter the promised land at Kadesh Barnea, and years of wandering before battles against Sihon and Og east of the Jordan River.
3) Key events discussed include the appointment of tribal leaders, rebellion against God at Kadesh, 40 years of wandering, battles against Sihon and Og that led to territorial gains east of the Jordan.

This document contains summaries of several Bible passages from Matthew and 1 Corinthians. It begins with Matthew 6:33 which states "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well." It then provides concise summaries of key points from Matthew 6:1-34, Matthew 22:36-40, John 17:13-19, and 1 Corinthians 7:29-35 on topics like prayer, giving, fasting and worrying. Links are also included for related Facebook and website pages on the words of Jesus.
The document discusses 8 raptures that are mentioned in the Bible. It provides biblical references for the raptures of Enoch, Moses, Elijah, Jesus, the church, two witnesses, tribulation saints, and the final rapture when all people will be given to God. It then examines what is known and unknown about the rapture of the church from passages in 1 Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians. It proposes that the dead will rise first to reunite with glorified bodies, then the living will be instantly changed at the last trumpet blast during the rapture event.
The document summarizes passages from Genesis and Deuteronomy describing God's commands and promises to Abram and the Israelites. It discusses how God promised to make Abram into a great nation and bless all people through him, but also warned the Israelites not to forget God or disobey his commands, lest they perish like other nations before them. The document questions what relevance places like Ai and Bethel have for the reader today.
The book of Proverbs reveals much of the direction God wants us to go in this life. God directs us through wisdom and rejection of His directions brings condemnation and destruction.
The document lists seven things that infuriate God or are considered abominations according to the Bible: 1) Sodomy, 2) Fornication, 3) Friendship with the world, 4) Transgender cross dressers, 5) Tolerance for evil, 6) Wizards, 7) Refusal to repent (Calvinism). It states that God will judge those who commit such abominations and will settle accounts for them in His own time, not man's.
This document summarizes and provides excerpts from Jewish prayers recited during morning and evening services. It describes the structure, themes, and content of key prayers like the Shema, and blessings surrounding the Shema that focus on themes of creation, revelation, and redemption. It also summarizes the structure and themes of blessings within the central Amidah prayer, which is divided into sections praising God, requesting personal needs, and requesting communal needs.
A verse by verse commentary on DEUTERONOMY 8 dealing with God teaching His people that "man does not live by bread alone," and that they will only live and prosper by living in obedience to His laws.
This document discusses the concept of God as a multidimensional being beyond human comprehension. It explores biblical references to God creating and inhabiting the heavens, which are described as having multiple levels. God is said to wear the universe like a garment. Jesus is described as the cornerstone that was rejected on Earth but became the head. The document suggests Jesus had to travel through the "water above" the heavens to die for humanity and return to his throne. Overall, the document uses biblical passages to argue that God's full nature exists in multiple dimensions beyond typical human understanding.
Good things can happen to bad people for God's reputation, to allow for their restoration, and for the sake of God's righteousness. God works to defend his name and character among other people and nations. He withdraws punishment and shows mercy for his own righteousness. While people are sinful, God redeems them for the worth of his own righteousness. God's goodness leads to repentance, and those who are called by his name must depart from wickedness and live responsibly.
God intended for the Jews to live in the land he promised them. The problem is: this land was already occupied by other people. In telling the Jews to “take” the land, did God command genocide or ethnic cleansing? This is a difficult and often misunderstood part of the Old Testament history. How can a God of love be responsible for wiping out “innocent” people, for the sake of his own…or were they innocent?
1) Moses gathers all the Israelites and calls them to renew their covenant with God.
2) If they obey God's commands, he will bless and prosper them in the promised land.
3) However, if they turn away from God to serve other gods, he will curse them and scatter them among the nations. God warns them to choose life by obeying him.

Israel at 60 - 2) The Jews - God's true witnessesbibletruth
www.christadelphians.co.uk - The second of a four part series exploring Israel and its significant position in the world. Having looked at how the land of Israel came to be of importance in the first presentation, we move on to consider the people of Israel, how the nation was born, and how events throughout their history have provided amazing evidence as to the existence of God and of his purpose.

- Daniel reads scriptures foretelling Jerusalem's desolation for 70 years as punishment for Israel's sins.
- He turns to God in prayer, fasting, and repentance, acknowledging Israel's sins of disobedience and rebellion against God's commands as the cause of their suffering.
- Daniel prays for God's forgiveness and mercy, citing that Israel deserves God's curses for breaking his covenant by not obeying the prophets as recorded in Deuteronomy. He requests God to show favor to his people again.
This document discusses how some Christian practices and traditions have incorporated or adapted aspects of pagan beliefs and rituals. It provides several Bible passages that warn against following pagan customs or adding to God's commands. The document suggests some Christian holidays, concepts, and symbols were derived from ancient gods and religions rather than being part of the original faith taught in the Bible. It aims to educate readers about pagan influences and principles that became Christianized over time.
The document discusses the Ten Commandments and the Seven Laws of Noah. It provides the text of the Ten Commandments from Exodus and Deuteronomy. The Ten Commandments establish rules regarding humanity's relationship with God, such as having no other gods and not creating idols, as well as rules for interpersonal relationships, such as not murdering, stealing, or coveting others' possessions. Similarly, the Seven Laws of Noah prohibit idolatry, murder, theft, sexual immorality, cruelty, and require justice.
- The document discusses a class on biblical appointed times and protocols of the king.
- Topics covered include debates on the length of Yeshua's ministry, the meaning of his name, Roman influence on Christianity, and God's perspective on widows, orphans, and strangers.
- God's perspective is that he regards all people equally and ensures justice for the vulnerable like widows and orphans, as he cares for those without means, as the Israelites once were strangers in Egypt.
Moses recounts to the Israelites the laws and commandments that God had given them. He reminds them of their history, including their rebellion in worshipping the golden calf after God delivered the Ten Commandments to them at Mount Sinai. However, God in his mercy had Moses carve two replacement stone tablets. Moses exhorts the Israelites to fear and obey God by keeping his commandments for their own good, as God had brought them out of Egypt and given them the promised land.
Put On Righteousness - Ephesians 6:14bDavid Turner
We cannot clothe ourselves in our personal righteousness, because any righteousness we have in ourselves falls short of God's standard of righteousness. Instead, we must shield our hearts with the righteousness of Christ. We are declared righteous because of his righteousness, not because of anything in ourselves.

This document summarizes the sermon given at Gospel Baptist Tabernacle on October 20, 2013. The sermon focused on 2 Samuel 22, which describes King David's song of praise to God for delivering him from his enemies and making him victorious. The sermon emphasized that God will be all that people need, just as he was for David, by saving those who need a savior, providing for those in need, and comforting those who are grieving, as long as people fully commit to seeking God with their whole heart.
- Joshua gathered the leaders of Israel and reminded them to remain faithful to God as he had been faithful to them.
- Joshua warned that if the Israelites went back on their covenant with God and associated with the remaining pagan nations through marriage or other relationships, it would lead them to idolatry and ruin.
- Joshua knew he was nearing death, but his only concern was that the Israelites stay faithful to God to receive his blessings as promised. Breaking their covenant with God would bring curses instead.
The document provides instructions from Deuteronomy on various religious and social laws for the Israelites. Some key points include:
- Worship is only to be directed toward God and not other gods or idols. Anyone leading people to worship other gods is to be put to death.
- Instructions are given on proper worship, including tithes and offerings. Special feasts like Passover and Feast of Booths are also outlined.
- Laws cover various aspects of daily life and social interactions, such as treatment of foreigners, slaves, and the poor. Rest is commanded every seventh year.
- Overall the document emphasizes living a holy life according to God's commands as his chosen people.
This psalm praises God for his greatness, majesty, righteousness, grace, compassion, and faithfulness. It describes how God's works are praised from generation to generation and how both humanity and creation extol God. The psalmist commits to praising God forever and speaking of his wonderful works. It proclaims that God watches over those who love him and destroys the wicked. The psalm concludes by calling all creatures to praise God's holy name forever.
This document contains passages from the book of Malachi in the Old Testament. It discusses how God will purify the descendants of Levi like gold and silver. It warns against robbing God by not paying full tithes and offerings. It promises blessings of abundant harvests for those who faithfully give their tithes. For the faithful who revere God, it says God will listen to them and write their names in a book of remembrance, treating them as a special possession.
Impress Them Upon Your Children Slides, 10/31/10CLADSM
The document contains multiple passages from the Bible book of Deuteronomy chapter 6. It instructs the Israelites to obey God's commands and teach their children to do the same. Some key points include: obey God so that the Israelites may prosper in the promised land; the Lord their God is one; impress God's commands upon their children and talk about them regularly; in the future their children will ask about the meaning of God's laws and they should explain that God freed them from slavery.
This document discusses various biblical passages related to obeying God's commands and laws. It emphasizes loving God and one's neighbor, references the teachings of Jesus, and warns against man-made religion. Specific topics covered include the Sabbath, Ten Commandments, Psalms, prophecies in Revelation, and the importance of brotherly love and enduring to the end. The overall message encourages adhering to scripture and God's instructions over human traditions.
The document is a passage from Isaiah chapter 5 that describes God's judgment against Israel for their unfaithfulness and sin. It uses the metaphor of a vineyard to represent Israel. God planted Israel as a choice vine but they produced "wild grapes" or sin instead of righteousness. As a result, God will remove his protection and allow Israel to be destroyed and laid waste. The passage warns that those who prioritize self-pleasure, reject God's word, and call evil good will face God's wrath and judgment. It encourages keeping God's law to avoid this same fate.
Miketz: Restoration of Israel, The End Time Prophecies of JosephJoey Fernandez
The document discusses the story of Joseph and his brothers and draws parallels between Joseph and Jesus. It argues that the Torah uses historical stories like Joseph's to progressively reveal spiritual truths about the coming Messiah. Many details in Joseph's life foreshadow aspects of Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection. The document also examines Joseph's time in Egypt as a metaphor for the tribulations believers must face and how God uses them to purify people.
Vayeshev Trials in the Lives of the PatriarchsJoey Fernandez
This document provides a summary of the Torah portion for the week, notes on the Haftorah and Brit Chadashah readings, and commentary on themes from the Torah portion. It discusses Jacob settling in the land of Canaan and the concept of sojourning rather than settling. It notes that trials are used by God to bring spiritual growth and completion. The document encourages walking with God rather than becoming too settled in life, and notes that refining trials prepare believers to rule with God.
Vayishlach: Lessons from the Life of JacobJoey Fernandez
The document discusses Jacob's ladder and the story of Jacob from Genesis. It describes Jacob arriving at a well where he sees three flocks of sheep and rolls away a large stone to water the flock. This is interpreted symbolically, with the well representing wisdom and the stone representing the Messiah. The document then explores spiritual meanings and lessons that can be drawn from this biblical story.
1. Jacob sends messengers to his brother Esau in Edom to inform him of his arrival and seek favor. The messengers return saying Esau is coming with 400 men.
2. Jacob divides his family and possessions into two groups in case of attack. He prays to God for protection from Esau.
3. Jacob prepares a gift of livestock for Esau in hopes of appeasing him. He sends his family ahead and remains alone, where he wrestles with a divine being and receives the name Israel.
Toldot Shmita preparation 21 Nov 2015 Bro. Aike MLTCJoey Fernandez
The document provides commentary on the Torah portion of Toldot, which discusses the generations of Isaac and the births of Jacob and Esau. It explores the deeper meanings of the Hebrew word "toldot", which refers not just to generations but to fruit and outcomes. It analyzes various details in the story, such as Rebecca's struggle during pregnancy, Esau selling his birthright to Jacob for food, and their different personalities and roles as adults. The commentary suggests these narratives illustrate broader spiritual truths about God's plan and the rejection of the natural firstborn in favor of the spiritual firstborn.
Jacob has a dream of a ladder reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending. God promises Jacob the land and numerous descendants. Jacob later meets Rachel at a well and falls in love. He agrees to work seven years for her father Laban to marry her. However, Laban tricks Jacob into marrying Leah first. Jacob works another seven years for Rachel. The wives have many children but Rachel remains barren for a long time. Jacob eventually asks to return home with his family, but Laban convinces him to stay. They make an agreement where Jacob will receive payment in speckled and spotted livestock.
1) The document discusses the life of Abraham, noting that his life was one of faith and testing as he obeyed God at every juncture.
2) It emphasizes that passing life's tests requires stubborn optimism in God, resolute confidence in Him, and steadfast obedience.
3) The story of Sarah's death and Abraham's subsequent actions are examined, finding that greater life can come through death, as seen in Jesus and the harvest of salvation that resulted from His death and resurrection.
Joseph F. Dumond End-Time Prophecies Power Point PresentationJoey Fernandez
This document discusses the meaning and implications of the Hebrew word "ekev" found in Deuteronomy 7:12. It begins by providing the English translation of the verse. It then analyzes the meaning and spelling of "ekev", noting it can mean "heel", "circumvent", or "come from behind". Alternative spellings and pronunciations are also discussed. The deeper implications of Jacob holding onto Esau's heel at birth and the prophecy of the serpent bruising the heel are explored. References are made to the last generation hearing God's word and walking in his commandments before the coming of the Messiah. Overall, the document delves deeply into the Hebrew to extract multiple layers of meaning

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Re'eh
1. Re'eh 1st Aliyah (Deu 11)
26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse—
27 the blessing, that you will obey the mitzvot of יהוה your
Elohim which I am giving you today; 28 and the curse if you will
not obey the mitzvot of יהוה your Elohim, but turn away from
the way I command you today by following other gods, which
you have not known.
2. Re'eh 1st Aliyah (Deu 11)
29 And it shall be, when יהוה your Elohim has brought you into
the land to which you go, to possess, that you shall put the
blessing on Mount G’rizim, and the curse on Mount ‘Eival. 30
Are they not across the Yarden, way beyond, in the direction of
the setting sun, in the land of the Kena‘ani, who dwell in the
‘Aravah, opposite Gilgal, near the terebinth trees of Moreh?
3. Re'eh 1st Aliyah (Deu 11-12)
31 For you are crossing the Yarden to enter to possess the land
which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, and you shall possess it
and dwell in it, 32 and you shall be sure to do all the laws and
right-rulings that I am setting before you today.
1 These are the laws and right-rulings that you must be careful to
do in the land which יהוה Elohim of your fathers, has given
you to possess—as long as you live on the soil.
4. Re'eh 1st Aliyah (Deu 12)
2 You shall completely destroy all the places where the nations
whom you shall dispossess worship their gods, on the high
mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. 3 And
you shall break down their altars, smash their sacred pillars
and burn their Asherim with fire; cut down the carved images of
their gods and destroy their names from that place. 4 You must
not worship יהוה your Elohim with such things.
5. Re'eh 1st Aliyah (Deu 12)
5 But you shall seek יהוה at the place which יהוה your Elohim
will choose from all your tribes to put his Name there for his
dwelling, and there you shall enter; 6 there you shall take your
burnt offerings and your offerings, your tithes and the
separation by your hand, and your vows and your offerings,
and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
6. Re'eh 1st Aliyah (Deu 12)
7 And there you shall eat before יהוה your Elohim, and shall
rejoice in all your endeavors you and your households, in
which יהוה your Elohim has blessed you.
8 You shall not do as all the things that we do here today, every
man doing whatever is right in his own eyes, 9 for you have not
yet come to the resting place and the inheritance which יהוה
your Elohim is giving you.
7. Re'eh 1st Aliyah (Deu 12)
10 But you shall cross the Yarden and dwell in the land which
יהוה your Elohim is giving you to inherit, and he shall give you
rest from all your enemies around you, and you shall dwell in
safety.
8. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
11 You shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings
and your offerings, your tithes and the contribution of your
hand, and all your choice votive offerings which you will vow to
—יהוהto the place יהוה your Elohim will choose for his Name
to dwell.
9. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
12 And you shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim—you and your
sons and your daughters, and your male and female servants,
and the Levi who is within your gates, since he has no portion
or inheritance with you. 13 Be careful that you do not offer your
burnt offerings in every cultic place you see.
10. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
14 But only in the place which יהוה chooses in one of your
tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you
shall do all that I command you.
15 However, whatever you desire you shall slaughter and eat
meat within all your gates, according to the blessing of יהוה
your Elohim which he has given you. The unclean and the
clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle and the deer.
11. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
16 Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it on the earth
like water. 17 You are not allowed to eat within your gates the
tithe of your grain or of your new wine or of your oil, or the
firstborn of your herd or your flock, or any of your offerings
which you vow, or your voluntary offerings, or the contribution
of your hand.
12. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
18 But you shall eat them before יהוה your Elohim in the place
which יהוה your Elohim will choose—you and your son and
your daughter, and your male and female servants, and the
Levi who is within your gates—and you shall rejoice before
יהוה your Elohim in all your endeavors. 19 Be careful that you
do not forsake the Levi as long as you live in your land.
13. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
20 When יהוה your Elohim enlarges your border as he has
promised you, and you say, "I will eat meat," because you long
to eat meat, then you may eat meat, whatever you desire. 21 If
the place יהוה your Elohim chooses to put his Name is too far
from you, then you shall slaughter of your herd and of your
flock which יהוה has given you, as I have commanded you,
and you shall eat within your gates, according to every desire
of your being.
14. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
22 But as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you will eat it.
The unclean and the clean alike may eat of it. 23 Only be firm
not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you must not
eat the life with the meat. 24 You must not eat it; you shall pour
it on the earth like water. 25 You shall not eat it, so that it be
well with you and your sons after you, when you do what is
right in the eyes of .יהוה
15. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
26 Only your set-apart gifts which you will have, and your vowed
offerings, you shall take and go to the place which יהוה
chooses. 27 And you shall make your burnt offerings, the meat
and the blood, on the altar of יהוה your Elohim. And the blood
of your offerings must be poured out on the altar of יהוה your
Elohim, and you may eat the meat.
16. Re'eh 2nd Aliyah (Deu 12)
28 Guard, and hearken to all these words which I command you,
that it may be well with you and your sons after you forever,
when you do what is good and right in the eyes of יהוה your
Elohim.
17. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 12)
29 When יהוה your Elohim cuts off before you the nations which
you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and
dwell in their land, 30 beware that you are not ensnared to
follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and that you
do not inquire after their gods, saying, “How do these nations
serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?”
18. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 12-13)
31 You must not worship יהוה your Elohim in that way; for every
abominable act which יהוה hates they have done for their
gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to
their gods. 1 Everything I command you that you shall be
careful to do it. You shall not add to nor take away from it.
2 If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and
gives you a sign or a wonder,
19. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
3 and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he
spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other gods (whom you
have not known) and let us serve them,” 4 you shall not listen
to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for
יהוה your Elohim is trying you to find out if you love יהוה your
Elohim with all your heart and with all your being.
20. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
5 You shall follow יהוה your Elohim and fear him; and you shall
guard his mitzvot, listen to his voice, serve him, and cling to
him.
21. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
6 But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to
death, because he has spoken apostasy against יהוה your
Elohim who brought you from the land of Mitsrayim and
redeemed you from the house of bondage, to seduce you from
the way in which יהוה your Elohim commanded you to walk.
So you shall purge the evil from among you.
22. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
7 If your brother, your mother’s son, or your son or daughter, or
the wife you cherish, or your friend who is as your own being,
entice you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods’
(whom neither you nor your fathers have known, 8 of the gods
of the peoples who are around you, near you or far from you,
from one end of the earth to the other end),
23. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
9 you shall not yield to him or listen to him; and your eye shall not
pardon him, nor shall you spare or conceal him. 10 But you
shall certainly kill him; your hand shall be first against him to
put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. 11
So you shall stone him to death because he has sought to
seduce you from יהוה your Elohim who brought you out from
the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.
24. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
12 Then all Isra’el will hear and be afraid, and will never again do
such a wicked thing among you. 13 If you hear in one of your
cities, which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to dwell in, anyone
saying that 14 some worthless men have gone out from among
you and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let
us go and serve other gods’ (whom you have not known),
25. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
15 then you shall inquire and search out and ask diligently. If it is
true and the matter established that this abomination has been
done among you, 16 you shall certainly smite the inhabitants of
that city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it and all
that is in it and its livestock with the edge of the sword.
26. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
17 Then you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of its open
street and burn the city and all its plunder with fire as a whole
burnt offering to יהוה your Elohim; and it shall be a tel forever.
It shall never be rebuilt.
27. Re'eh 3rd Aliyah (Deu 13)
18 Nothing from that which is put under the ban shall cling to your
hand, in order that יהוה may turn from his burning displeasure
and show mercy to you, and have compassion on you and
make you increase, just as he has sworn to your fathers, 19 if
you will listen to the voice of יהוה your Elohim, keeping all his
mitzvot which I am commanding you today, and doing what is
right in the sight of יהוה your Elohim.
28. Re'eh 4th Aliyah (Deu 14)
1 You are the children of יהוה your Elohim. You shall neither cut
yourselves nor shave your forehead for the dead, 2 for you are
a set-apart people to יהוה your Elohim, and יהוה has chosen
you to be a treasured people for his own possession out of all
the peoples that are on the face of the earth. 3 You shall not
eat any abominable thing.
29. Re'eh 4th Aliyah (Deu 14)
4 These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep,
the goat, 5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the
ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep. 6 And any beast
that has a split hoof and has a hoof divided into two hoof
sections and chews the cud among the beasts that you may
eat.
30. Re'eh 4th Aliyah (Deu 14)
7 But you may not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that
have split hooves: the cloven one, as the camel, the hare and
the rabbit, for they chew the cud, they do not have split hooves;
therefore they are unclean for you. 8 The pig, because it has a
split hoof, but does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You
shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses.
31. Re'eh 4th Aliyah (Deu 14)
9 These you may eat of all that are in the water, anything that has
fins and scales you may eat. 10 But anything that does not
have fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean for you.
11 You may eat of all clean birds. 12 But these are those from
which you may not eat: the eagle or the griffin vulture, and the
vulture, and the osprey, 13 and the red kite, and the falcon, and
the buzzard after its kinds, 14 and every raven after its kind,
32. Re'eh 4th Aliyah (Deu 14)
15 and the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the seagull, and the
hawk after their kinds, 16 the little owl, and the great owl, and
the white owl, 17 and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and
the cormorant, 18 and the stork, and the heron and its species,
and the hoopoe and the atalef.
19 And every flying insect is unclean for you; they may not be
eaten. 20 You may eat any clean bird.
33. Re'eh 4th-5th Aliyah (Deu 14)
21 You shall not eat anything which dies of itself. You may give it
to the stranger who is in your gates, that he may eat it, or you
may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a set-apart people to
יהוה your Elohim.
You shall not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
22 You shall tithe all the yield from what you sow that the field
brings forth year by year.
34. Re'eh 5th Aliyah (Deu 14)
23 And you shall eat before יהוה your Elohim, in the place where
he chooses to establish his Name, the tithe of your grain, your
new wine and your oil, and the firstborn of your cattle and and
your sheep, so that you may learn to fear יהוה your Elohim
always.
35. Re'eh 5th Aliyah (Deu 14)
24 And if the way is too long for you, that you are not able to
bring the tithe (for the place where יהוה your Elohim chooses
to put his Name is too far from you), when יהוה your Elohim
blesses you, 25 then you shall exchange it for silver, and take
the silver in your hand and go to the place which יהוה your
Elohim chooses.
36. Re'eh 5th Aliyah (Deu 14)
26 And you shall use the silver for whatever your being desires:
for cattle, or sheep, wine or strong drink, or whatever your
being desires. And you shall eat there before יהוה your
Elohim, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. 27 And
as for the Levi who is in your gates you shall not forsake him,
for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
37. Re'eh 5th Aliyah (Deu 14)
28 At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithe of
your increase in that year and store it in your gates. 29 And the
Levi (because he has no portion or inheritance with you) and
the sojourner, and the fatherless and the widow who are in
your gates shall come and eat and be satisfied, so that יהוה
your Elohim may bless you in all the work of your hand which
you do.
38. Re'eh 6th Aliyah (Deu 15)
1 At the end of every seven years you shall make a release of
debts. 2 This is the word of sh’mittah: to release the hand of
every creditor from what he has loaned to his neighbor; he
shall not require it of his neighbor and his brother, because
'יהוהs release has been proclaimed. 3 From a foreigner you
may require it, but your hand shall release whatever of yours is
with your brother.
39. Re'eh 6th Aliyah (Deu 15)
4 However, there will be no poor among you, since יהוה will
greatly bless you in the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving
you as an inheritance to possess, 5 if only you listen diligently
to the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to observe carefully all this
mitzvot which I am commanding you today.
40. Re'eh 6th Aliyah (Deu 15)
6 For יהוה your Elohim shall bless you as he has promised you,
and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow;
and you shall rule over many nations, but they will not rule over
you. 7 If there is a poor man with you, one of your brothers, in
any of your gates in your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving
you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from
your poor brother;
41. Re'eh 6th Aliyah (Deu 15)
8 but you shall certainly open your hand to him, and shall
certainly lend him enough for his need in whatever he lacks. 9
Beware that there is no base thought in your heart, saying:
“The seventh year, the year of sh’mittah, is near,” and your eye
is evil toward your poor brother, and you give him naught; then
he shall cry to יהוה against you, and it shall be a sin in you.
42. Re'eh 6th Aliyah (Deu 15)
10 You shall certainly give to him, and your heart shall not be
grieved when you give to him, because for this reason יהוה
your Elohim will bless you in all your work and in all your
undertakings. 11 For the poor will never cease to be in the
land. Therefore I command you, saying: “You shall certainly
open your hand to your brother, to your poor and needy in your
land.”
43. Re'eh 6th Aliyah (Deu 15)
12 If your brother—a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman—is sold
to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year
you must send him forth free from you. 13 And when you send
him forth free from you, you shall not send him away empty-
handed. 14 You shall richly supply him from your flock, and
from your threshing-floor, and from your winepress. You shall
give to him as יהוה has blessed you.
44. Re'eh 6th Aliyah (Deu 15)
15 And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of
Mitsrayim, and יהוה your Elohim redeemed you. Therefore I
am commanding you this word today.
16 And it shall be, if he says to you, "I will not go out from you,"
because he loves you and your house, for it is good for him
with you,
45. Re'eh 6th Aliyah (Deu 15)
17 then you shall take an awl and thrust it through his ear and
into the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also you
shall do likewise to your maidservant.
18 It shall not seem hard to you when you send him free from
you, for he has given you six years with double the service of a
hired servant. And יהוה your Elohim shall bless you in all that
you shall do.
46. Re'eh 7th Aliyah (Deu 15)
19 Every firstborn male that is born of your herd and of your flock
you shall sanctify for יהוה your Elohim. You shall not work with
the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
20 You and your household shall eat it each year before יהוה
your Elohim at the place יהוה will choose. 21 And if there be
any defect in it, whether it be lame or blind, or has any evil
defect, you must not slaughter it to יהוה your Elohim.
47. Re'eh 7th Aliyah (Deu 15-16)
22 You shall eat it in your gates. The unclean and the clean
person may eat it together, as the gazelle or the deer. 23
However, you must not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on
the ground like water.
1 Guard the month of Aviv, and perform the Pesach to יהוה your
Elohim, for in the month of Aviv יהוה your Elohim brought you
out of Mitsrayim by night.
48. Re'eh 7th Aliyah (Deu 16)
2 You shall slaughter the Pesach to יהוה your Elohim from the
flock and the herd, in the place which יהוה will choose to put
his Name. 3 You shall not eat hametz with it, for seven days
you shall eat with it matzah, even the bread of affliction, for you
came out of the land of Mitsrayim in haste—so that you may
remember all the days of your life the time when you came out
of the land of Mitsrayim.
49. Re'eh 7th Aliyah (Deu 16)
4 And no yeast shall be seen with you in all your border for seven
days. Neither shall any thing of the meat you slaughter on the
evening of the first day stay until morning. 5 You must not
slaughter the Pesach in any of your gates, which יהוה your
Elohim gives you
50. Re'eh 7th Aliyah (Deu 16)
6 except in the place which ,יהוה your Elohim will choose to
establish his Name. There you must slaughter the Pesach in
the evening, when the sun sets, on the anniversary that you
came out of Mitsrayim. 7 And you shall roast and eat it at the
place which יהוה your Elohim will choose. And in the morning
you are to return to your tents.
51. Re'eh 7th Aliyah (Deu 16)
8 For six days you shall eat matzah and on the seventh day there
shall be a solemn assembly to יהוה your Elohim. You shall do
no work on it.
9 You shall count seven weeks for yourself; from the time you
begin to put the sickle to the standing grain, you shall begin to
count seven weeks.
52. Re'eh 7th Aliyah (Deu 16)
10 Then you shall perform the Festival of Shavu’ot to יהוה your
Elohim with a tribute of the voluntary offering of your hand,
which you shall give unto יהוה your Elohim, according to how
ADONAI your God has given you.
53. Re'eh 7th Aliyah (Deu 16)
11 And you shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim—you, and your
son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your
maidservant, and the L’vi’im who is in your gates, and the
stranger, and the fatherless and the widow who are among
you, at the place which יהוה your Elohim will choose to
establish his Name. 12 And you shall remember that you were
a slave in Mitsrayim, and you shall guard and do these laws.
54. Re'eh Maftir (Deu 16)
13 You shall perform the Festival of Sukkot for seven days after
you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and
your winepress. 14 And you shall rejoice in your festival—you,
and your son and your daughter, and your male and female
servants, and the L’vi’im, and the stranger, and the fatherless
and the widow who are within your gates.
55. Re'eh Maftir (Deu 16)
15 Seven days you shall observe a festival to יהוה your Elohim
in the place which יהוה chooses, because יהוה your Elohim
will bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your
hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.
56. Re'eh Maftir (Deu 16)
16 Three times in a year all your males must appear before יהוה
your Elohim in the place which he will choose: at the Festival of
Matzah, and at the Festival of Shavu‘ot and the Festival of
Sukkot. And he shall not appear before יהוה empty-handed:
57. Re'eh Maftir (Deu 16)
17 But every man must bring as much as he can afford,
according to the blessing of יהוה your Elohim which he has
given you.
