PaRASHaT TURE Portion 2/11/2012 Ekev | עקב | "Consequence"

PaRASHaT TURE Portion


2/11/2012

Ekev | עקב | "Consequence"
Torah: Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25
Prophets: Isaiah 49:14-51:3
Gospel: John 13:31-15:27




The forty-sixth reading from the Torah and the third reading from the book of Deuteronomy is named Ekev (עקב), a word from the first verse of the portion. Deuteronomy 7:12 says, “Then it shall come about, because (ekev, עקב) you listen to these judgments and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you His covenant and His lovingkindness which He swore to your forefathers.” Usually the word ekev means “heel.” In fact, this word shares the same three-letter root as the name Jacob (Yaakov, יעקב), whose name actually means “heel.” He was born holding on to Esau’s heel. However, in Deuteronomy 7:12, the word ekev means “on the heels of” or “because of.” This portion of Deuteronomy speaks of the rewards that will come to Israel on the heels of keeping God’s covenant and commandments.~www.torahportions.org

There's nothing wrong with fellowship on Sunday; it's the following of pagan ways. 
Convert a Christian. Use the Gift of friendly.

Lev 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
Lev 25:18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

Dab 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The Almighty IEUE our ALEIM is one IEUE:
Dab 6:5 And thou shalt love the Almighty thy ALEIM with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Ish 49:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands, thy walls are continually before me.
