01:02:53 –– So begin the Ten Plagues, with the first: Dam, Blood. The rest, as depicted in the Ten Plagues sequence, are Tzfardeiah, Frogs; Kinim, Lice; Arov, Wild Beasts; Dever, Pestilence; Sh’chin, Boils; Arbeh, Locusts; Choshech, Darkness; and Makat B’chorot, Slaying of the First Born. In the text, Moses and Aaron perform actions to initiate each plague (Exod. 7:17-12:29), but of course the sequence in the movie would be much too long if they tried to show that, so here it is condensed.

يعني لو إنه حمار بقلكم ماشي، بس هي مرة مرتين اللي شربت فيها و أختي عاملالي فيها قصة و حكاية. شو يعني، كفرنا إذا حكينا عن الكحول و شربنا

لماو، هو اه كفرنا، بس يعني مش إشي جديد عليها. نفسي تعاملني زي كإني حد بالغ عاقل راشد بقدر يقرر شو يسوي. بعدين شو الواحد تحمس على شغلة، ما أدمنت! ولا حتى كنت مثقل ولا إشي.

wala marra wsilet 5mar 7atta

anyway, there's also the issue with lee. Like, they're in a bad spot, I'm trying to cheer them up and be there and just, do what I can

but lee got injured, couldn't talk, then was sick and slept all the time, and I have work due to start soon so I've been sorta fixing my sleeping schedule a bit so I can wake up to my job and they're pulling shit like "i feel like a dirty secret"

like, i can't begin to explain how very much they Are. do they think I can just date and show that i am dating to my parents but just hide who it is i'm dating? Yes they're a secret, my parents don't even allow me to _date_ what did they expect

no really what DID they expect? me having a social group? people to introduce to them? I've introduced them to all the irl people i talk to. I can introduce them to the rest of the dnd group and try to get them to meet and stuff but I Really don't have anything Else. Ffs, they talked to _my mother_

and i can't talk to anyone about lee because lee met Everyone so I can't just _talk about lee to the people who know lee and now like them_

and even when I go abroad, I won't have any of my _own_ people. they'll like me and stuff but i'll have met them through lee, they'll be Lee's people first.

and like, so they realise how cold and hard that is? how terrifying, for a person who has spent their whole life isolated and barely has social contact with others, to leave Everything behind, and cut contact, lie, hide, and run to you, leaving behind everything they've ever known and like, having nobody but You and your family to go to?

I Want to trust lee, i really do, but this is scary. in my head, family is the only secure people, and i can't shake that off. Family comes with the obligation of caring for you, blood matters. My own _blood_ doesn't like me, you want me to rely on your family liking me enough to consider me family and let me in?

and like, what more could they want, what more really I need to know because at this point i feel like I've wrung my heart dry thinking about it.

They want me to have a schedule when I usually can't. I want to have a regimented time table, it would be so easy and nice, but this is the vacation, nothing is stable and nothing is set in stone. Until i get my job, set into a routine, a schedule is a pipe dream because I have to avoid my parents and siblings and everyone else while I try to live. I don't have a space to retreat to to do the stuff I want, I don't have my own kitchen to eat in as I wish. my parents do not see me as an adult, just an overgrown child and pushing against those boundaries takes so much when all my life they have been tighter around me than even normal children.

I _want_ peace and quiet, I _want_ control over my life, i _want_ to have my own space to persue my own hobbies and likes and dislikes

I want my own apartment, I'd kill for one rn

I don't want to live with anyone else, I want some independence, and I want some freedom to be and act the way I want and dress the way I want and have No one tell me how to do things because i have a functioning brain, thank you, if i need help I'll look it up

yeah, 7 months in, and I don't want the same.kind of relationship that lee talks about. or at the very least, not with the _extra_ circumstances that I am under.

I'd want to date as equals, both of us able to step out and away and have our own autonomy. I want to have my own space, that I only clean and maintain for myself, not because i would be in the way for anyone else. I want to have my own standing, my own social groups, my own LIFE before I make it so that my life is tied irrevocably to someone else.

I mentioned this before, I don't mind being engaged. i like it even. but the marriage would have just been

حبر على ورق

and not like, anything else. I said this, I SAID this how did lee miss it in all of the other stuff I want Freedom, Independence, autonomy first and foremost and THEN i can consider marriage

I'm getting my degree, and THEN we can think of marrying each other. We can remain engaged for as long as it feels comfortable, but marriage is too soon.

I want to _travel_ I want to Leave, i want to Work, I want to save up some money i need a lot more than what the world has dealt me and i am Greedy for life and foods and wines and taste and sights and smells i have never seen before

and screw whoever tells me that's not in store for me. I'd rather be a 60 year old person wandering around than being tied down to nothing

1 Kings 11: 26-28. "The Beast Nation."

What does it mean to rebel against a king who is called "The Complete Peace", one whose only crime, so far, is he succumbed to peer pressure and had a little bit too much at the titty bar, like 3,000 times.

Solomon otherwise wasn't so bad: He in fact did a few things no other person on earth had done. He built the Terraces and filled the Gap. Unfortunately, he was not very good at choosing his progeny, the outcomes of his reign, and for a monarch this is a must:

Jeroboam Rebels Against Solomon

26 Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled against the king. He was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah.

27 Here is the account of how he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces[a] and had filled in the gap in the wall of the city of David his father. 

28 Now Jeroboam was a man of standing, and when Solomon saw how well the young man did his work, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the tribes of Joseph.

Jeroboam means "abundance." Abundances are not always necessarily good. Nebat means "To regard."

רבב

The verb רבב (rabab) means to be or become many. Adjective רב (rab) means much, many or great, and the identical noun רב (rab) means chief or captain; hence too the familiar noun ραββι (rabbi), meaning Rabbi. Noun רב (rob) means multitude or abundance. Nouns רבבה (rebaba), רבו (ribo) and רבוא (ribo') mean ten-thousand or myriad. Noun רביבים (rebibim) denotes copious showers.

Noun רבב (rabab), describes a smear of viscous fat, an obvious sign that someone was well off. That same noun was spelled רבד (rabad), which may have helped the formation of the word ραβδος (rabdos), staff, rod or scepter.

Possibly a second yet identical verb רבב (rabab) means to shoot, particularly of arrows. This may very well be a specified usage of our verb since arrows are customarily shot en masse by many archers. Noun רב (rab) means archer, and is identical to the adjective meaning many.

The slightly more common verb רבה (raba) is obviously a by-form of רבב (rabab) and means to be or become great, many, much or numerous. Noun מרבה (marbeh) means increase or abundance. Noun מרבה (mirbah) means much. Nouns מרבית (marbit) and תרבות (tarbut) mean increase, greatness, multitude. Noun תרבית (tarbit) means increment or usury. Fittingly, noun ארבה (arbeh) denotes a kind of locust.

Possibly a second yet identical verb רבה (raba) means to shoot.

נבט

The verb נבט (nabat), means to look, regard or consider. Noun מבט (mabbat) literally means a thing looked to: an expectation.

He was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah.

Officials are pedigreed in the work they do. In Judaism they are the Rabbis that oversee the official instruction in the Torah, Tanakh, the Talmud, Midrash, etc. They create the common ground, the source of the patriotism of the Jewish people. Without the Officials and their capabilities, Israel would be just another plot of land in the Middle East.

Ephraimites are persons who are always using the most current means of communicating the intentions of the Torah to the people. They find ethical, promising ways to negotiate the rigors of the secular world, again from an authoritative common ground that maintains one's identification with the Kingdom of Israel.

This process of condensing a people around the regalia of the Kingdom is called Zeredah. Jewish law requires, hard and fast, the principals of such attraction must be positive. They must contribute to the peace and greater good of one and all.

צרד

There's no trace of a root צרד (sarad) in the Bible (safe for the name Zeredah) but in other languages it appears with the meaning of to cool.

His mother was Zeredah, "bicolored, like the body of a hornet."

Jeroboam is the instrument of vengeange God sent against Solomon to split the Kingdom because Solomon wanted more than his share of the kitty.

If we look at the entire meaing of his character, we see he was sent to apply the lessons of the Torah to the problem of Solomon, "to survey the abundance and make a split."

He begins by taking charge of the Tribe of Joseph, which consists of Ephraim and Manasseh, "to take what is excellent from the past and leave the rest behind."

These include the Terraces, which Solomon built as an overlook on the Deep in which God saw Himself, and contain the Four Vedas and all the Upanishads, and the Wall, whose Gap Solomon filled.

The Gap in the wall David left was 3489, ג‎דחט‎‎ ghadat, "the instincts of the beast nation." Solomon wasn't violent like his father, or the Philistines, but his hoarding got the better of him, it interfered with his ability to comprehend everything God needed him to do and sent Jeroboam, abundance for everyone else in his place.

In which I assume this is just going to be a trash video but then Something Happens.

[godslush]

Woke up a bit early from a dream that was a bizarre salad of things taking place in a superhero setting just barely not either of the two in my headworld (though having shades of both). I don't remember much in a narrative sense, but my memory of the dream anchors around a handful of specific characters or entities who stood out more than others:

- A kindly mute hobo, basically human!Aberrant in terms of personality and size; a VERY tall, bald, nearly albino guy with uncanny proportions, wearing tattered clothes. He could turn into a skinless giant, like a slightly smaller "Attack on" Titan. Seemed to have been temporarily living in the subterranean parking lot of the facility the dream mostly took place in. Showed up just long enough to tear a hole in a reinforced razor wire barricade with his bare hands (which seemed to be able to superheat, as his hands practically melted the wire) while still in "human" form to help the protags escape the facility. Transformed in the distance later to fight off some antagonists in a very Hulk-esque fashion, immunity to heavy firearms included.

- A very large white dog or wolf. Looked like a pure white husky with ice blue eyes, and twice as big. Couldn't talk, but had a certain human-level intelligence about him, as he was able to use computers and navigate security panels in the facility. Also incredibly strong, capable of dismantling an android. Only showed up early on, left to do other things after the sphinx (below) was defeated.

- Teenage "Kamen Rider" girl (not really, just a nerd who'd say "Henshin!" to transform) with a black and silver suit more reminiscent of Iron Man power armor with a wasp-like mask, and twin arm-mounted vibro-knives as her primary weapons. Kicks strong enough to send an opponent through thick concrete, armor tough enough to take machinegun fire and direct circular saw application without a flinch or scratch. Was approached by another "hero" to hand over a critical artifact, but was attacked upon not being able to due to someone else taking it earlier. Before transforming, she was who I observed the dream through in first-person, but was kicked into third person as soon as she transformed. Had a boyfriend who could also transform, but only saw him briefly as he called off his own armor during their escape, when human!Aberrant freed them. Since both had to take off their suits for one reason or another, both got fairly sliced up from the edges of the razor fence due to the haste with which they had to flee. I briefly watched them as they found a high place to climb and tend their wounds, overlooking the city to see the chaos that was about to be unleashed upon it.

- A red and gold sphinx (literally, lion body, mostly-human face; proportionally more reminiscent of Avatar Na'vi in terms of nose and eyes) in overlapping armor of very fine plates (or cybernetic and made up of those plates), and orange gems decorating her forehead, shoulders, hips, and spine. Accompanied by two menacing looking men in black suits, both wielding machine guns. One was an android with transforming weapon/tool limbs (hence the circular saw). The sphinx was the "hero" who asked for the artifact, but actually one of the villains (a shapeshifter) in disguise. True form of shapeshifter never shown. Defeated soundly by the armored girl and the huge dog, but escaped after being kicked through a wall in the underground parking lot.

-A giant eldritch tentacle brain on four legs. Imagine a Zerg Ultralisk, but instead of an armored head/upper torso with blade arms, just a giant brain contained in an iridescent gelatinous mass that could form tendrils or legs in that arrangement. Was being held in the facility most of the dream took place in (most info on it was dream-intuition or shown with video footage), it broke out and prompted the need to escape. Had the ability to warp reality in hallucinogenic ways, usually manifested by a passive hue-shift of everything in its immediate vicinity. It's physical arrival prompted me to wake up.

Hey! Would you mind giving a quick explanation of seder and/or passover for those of us non-religious/non-jewish folk out there? I'd love to learn more about other peoples' holidays!

yeah of course!!

passover is a holiday in which the jews celebrate their liberation from their enslavement in egypt. to celebrate, we have a big dinner called a seder (say-der) in which we go through a series of actions that represent and tell the story of what happened in egypt.

there’s a special plate on the table with different objects on it that symbolize parts of the passover story. for example, there’s bitter herbs to represent the bitterness of the enslavement that the jews endured.

the passover story is about moses, an israelite who grew up in the pharaoh’s palace after his mother yocheved put him in a basket and floated him down the river nile in the hopes that he’d have a better life elsewhere. he witnessed the horrific treatment of the other israelites and escaped the pharaoh’s palace towards midian. there, he saw a burning bush (there were flames but the bush wasn’t really burning) and heard god say that he was the one to save the israelites. moses heeded god’s words and went to the pharaoh to ask him to let the israelites go. the pharaoh refused, so god sent ten plagues down onto egypt. in order, the plagues were:

blood (dahm)

frogs (tzefardeya)

lice (kinim)

wild beasts (arov)

cattle disease (dever)

boils (shichin)

hail (barad)

locusts (arbeh)

darkness (choshech)

death of the firstborn son (makat b’chorot)

the holiday is called passover because the israelites were spared from the last plague if they smeared lamb’s blood over their doorposts. the angel of death would then pass over their houses, saving their firstborn sons. after the death of his own firstborn son, pharaoh finally agreed to let the israelites go. moses led them out of egypt until they approached the red sea. little did they know, pharaoh had changed his mind and was coming after them. to the israelites’ amazement, moses raised his staff and parted the red sea to let all of the israelites through. they got safely to the other side of the sea, while the pharaoh’s men drowned as the sea became whole again. legend has it that moses’s sister, miriam, struck a rock and water sprung out of it, so the israelites could drink.

and that’s what we celebrate! to celebrate our freedom, we recline on cushions, make and eat a big meal (often including matzah ball soup and brisket), and we are not supposed to pour our own wine. someone else has to do it for us, symbolizing the fact that we are no longer slaves and have the freedom to drink without effort.

i hope this helped!!

[qaraxuanzenith]

Ooh, ooh a timely one! 11. What kind of, if any, Passover traditions do you and/or your family have? 

I mentioned a couple of Pesach traditions in my previous answer, so now I will share some MORE! :D

For the past several years, I have made use of my talent at reading Hebrew texts disturbingly fast to buzz through the reading parts of the Seder so as not to keep people waiting for food for too long (and so as not to keep people awake / needing to get home safely too late) - we still do plenty of discussion, but we can do it while we eat, thank you very much.

Another Seder tradition my family has is to pass around boiled potatoes and hard-boiled eggs to eat in saltwater when we get to the Karpas (”eat a green vegetable dipped in saltwater”) stage of the Seder.

Two other fun Seder things we do: when the Haggadah follows up the list of the ten plagues (for which we spill a drop of wine each) with the acronym for the ten plagues (for which we spill a drop of wine for each of the three “words” of the acronym), we always add, attributed to my great-grandfather, the silly “pun” he would always make on the words. The acronym is “Datzach Adash Beachav”*; my great-grandfather (and now we) would add “dreitzich a Deutch by mein vaif” (”A German is hanging around my wife”)

And when we eat the Hillel sandwich of matzah, Charoset, and horseradish, explained in the Haggadah with the quoted words “al matzot u’merorim yochluhu” (”on matzahs and bitter herbs they shall eat it”), we always repeat the last word the way my great-grandfather used to say it in his Lithuanian accent - “yoichleehee”

*the acronym, for the uninitiated: dam (blood), tzfardei’a (frog), kinim (lice) = datzach; arov (swarms), dever (pestilence), shchin (boils) = adash; barad (hail), arbeh (locusts), choshech (darkness), bechorot (firstborn) = beachav

THEinc-HIM Daily Bible Meditation - February 19 - Full Text - Shabbat Shalom

FEBRUARY 19

PSALMS: 19, 49, 79, 109, 139

PROVERBS: 19

OLD TESTAMENT: 1 SAMUEL 10:1 - 11:15

NEW TESTAMENT: JOHN 6:43 - 71

PSALMS: 19

1 The heavens declare the glory of God.

The expanse shows his handiwork. 

2 Day after day they pour forth speech,

And night after night they display knowledge. 

3 There is no speech nor language,

Where their voice is not heard. 

4 Their voice has gone out through all the eretz,

Their words to the end of the world.

In them he has set a tent for the sun, 

5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

Like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. 

6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens,

His circuit to the ends of it;

There is nothing hid from the heat of it. 

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul.

The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 

8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart.

The mitzvah of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 

9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever.

The ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb. 

11 Moreover by them is your servant warned.

In keeping them there is great reward. 

12 Who can discern his errors?

Forgive me from hidden errors. 

13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins.

Let them not have dominion over me.

Then I will be upright,

I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression. 

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

Be acceptable in your sight, LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.

PSALMS: 49

1 Hear this, all you peoples.

Listen, all you inhabitants of the world, 

2 Both low and high,

Rich and poor together. 

3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom.

My heart shall utter understanding. 

4 I will incline my ear to a proverb.

I will open my riddle on the harp. 

5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,

When iniquity at my heels surrounds me? 

6 Those who trust in their wealth,

And boast in the multitude of their riches -- 

7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother,

Nor give God a ransom for him. 

8 For the redemption of their life is costly,

No payment is ever enough, 

9 That he should live on forever,

That he should not see corruption. 

10 For he sees that wise men die;

Likewise the fool and the senseless perish,

And leave their wealth to others. 

11 Their inward thought is, that their houses will endure forever,

And their dwelling places to all generations.

They name their lands after themselves. 

12 But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure.

He is like the animals that perish.

13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish,

And of those who approve their sayings. Selah. 

14 They are appointed as a flock for She'ol.

Death shall be their shepherd.

The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning.

Their beauty shall decay in She'ol,

Far from their mansion. 

15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of She'ol,

For he will receive me.

Selah. 

16 Don't be afraid when a man is made rich,

When the glory of his house is increased. 

17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away.

His glory shall not descend after him. 

18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul --

And men praise you when you do well for yourself -- 

19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers.

They shall never see the light. 

20 A man who has riches without understanding,

Is like the animals that perish.

PSALMS: 79

1 God, the nations have come into your inheritance.

They have defiled your holy temple.

They have laid Yerushalayim in heaps. 

2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, The flesh of your holy ones to the animals of the eretz. 

3 Their blood they have shed like water around Yerushalayim.

There was no one to bury them. 

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors,

A scoffing and derision to those who are around us.

5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever?

Will your jealousy burn like fire? 

6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you;

On the kingdoms that don't call on your names; 

7 For they have devoured Ya`akov,

And destroyed his homeland. 

8 Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us.

Let your tender mercies speedily meet us,

For we are in desperate need. 

9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.

Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake. 

10 Why should the nations say,

"Where is their God?"

Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes,

That vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out. 

11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you.

According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death;

12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom

Their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord. 

13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture,

Will give you thanks forever.

We will praise you forever, to all generations.

PSALMS: 109

1 God of my praise, don't remain silent, 

2 For they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue. 

3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,

And fought against me without a cause. 

4 In return for my love, they are my adversaries;

But I am in prayer. 

5 They have rewarded me evil for good,

And hatred for my love. 

6 Set a wicked man over him.

Let an adversary stand at his right hand. 

7  When he is judged, let him come forth guilty.

Let his prayer be turned into sin. 

8 Let his days be few. Let another take his office. 

9 Let his children be fatherless,

And his wife a widow. 

10 Let his children be wandering beggars.

Let them be sought from their ruins. 

11 Let the creditor seize all that he has.

Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor. 

12 Let there be none to extend kindness to him,

Neither let there be any to have pity on his fatherless children. 

13 Let his posterity be cut off.

In the generation following let their name be blotted out. 

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD.

Don't let the sin of his mother be blotted out. 

15 Let them be before the LORD continually,

That he may cut off the memory of them from the eretz; 

16 Because he didn't remember to show kindness,

But persecuted the poor and needy man,

The broken in heart, to kill them. 

17  Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him.

He didn't delight in blessing, and it was far from him. 

18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment.

It came into his inward parts like water,

Like oil into his bones. 

19 Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself,

For the belt that is always around him. 

20 This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD,

Of those who speak evil against my soul. 

21 But deal with me, the LORD the Lord, for your name's sake,

Because your loving kindness is good, deliver me; 

22 For I am poor and needy.

My heart is wounded within me. 

23 I fade away like an evening shadow.

I am shaken off as the arbeh. 

24 My knees are weak through fasting.

My body is thin and lacks fat. 

25 I have also become a reproach to them.

When they see me, they shake their head. 

26 Help me, LORD, my God.

Save me according to your loving kindness;

27  That they may know that this is your hand;

That you, LORD, have done it. 

28 They may curse, but you bless.

When they arise, they will be put to shame,

But your servant shall rejoice. 

29 Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor.

Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe. 

30 I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth.

Yes, I will praise him among the multitude. 

31 For he will stand at the right hand of the needy,

To save him from those who judge his soul.

PSALMS: 139

1 LORD, you have searched me,

And you know me. 

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up.

You perceive my thoughts from afar. 

3 You search out my path and my lying down,

And are acquainted with all my ways. 

4 For there is not a word on my tongue,

But, behold, LORD, you know it altogether. 

5 You tzitzit me in behind and before.

You laid your hand on me. 

6 This knowledge is beyond me.

It is lofty. I can't attain it. 

7 Where could I go from your Spirit?

Or where could I flee from your presence? 

8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there.

If I make my bed in She'ol, behold, you are there! 

9 If I take the wings of the dawn,

And settle in the uttermost parts of the sea; 

10 Even there your hand will lead me,

And your right hand will hold me. 

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me;

The light around me will be night;" 

12 Even the darkness doesn't hide from you,

But the night shines as the day.

The darkness is like light to you. 

13 For you formed my inmost being.

You knit me together in my mother's womb. 

14 I will give thanks to you,

For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Your works are wonderful.

My soul knows that very well. 

15 My frame wasn't hidden from you,

When I was made in secret,

Woven together in the depths of the eretz. 

16 Your eyes saw my body.

In your book they were all written,

The days that were ordained for me,

When as yet there were none of them. 

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!

How vast is the sum of them! 

18 If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand.

When I wake up, I am still with you. 

19 If only you, God, would kill the wicked.

Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men! 

20 For they speak against you wickedly.

Your enemies take your name in vain. 

21 LORD, don't I hate those who hate you?

Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you? 

22 I hate them with perfect hatred.

They have become my enemies. 

23 Search me, God, and know my heart.

Try me, and know my thoughts.

24 See if there is any wicked way in me,

And lead me in the everlasting way.

PROVERBS: 19

1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity

Than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool. 

2 It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge;

Nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way. 

3 The foolishness of man subverts his way;

His heart rages against the LORD. 

4 Wealth adds many friends,

But the poor is separated from his friend. 

5 A false witness shall not be unpunished.

He who pours out lies shall not go free. 

6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,

And everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts. 

7 All the relatives of the poor shun him:

How much more do his friends avoid him!

He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone. 

8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.

He who keeps understanding shall find good. 

9 A false witness shall not be unpunished.

He who utters lies shall perish. 

10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,

Much less for a servant to have rule over princes. 

11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.

It is his glory to overlook an offense. 

12 The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion,

But his favor is like dew on the grass. 

13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father.

A wife's quarrels are a continual dripping. 

14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,

But a prudent wife is from the LORD. 

15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.

The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16 He who keeps the mitzvah keeps his soul,

But he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die. 

17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;

He will reward him. 

18 Discipline your son, for there is hope;

Don't be a willing party to his death. 

19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,

For if you rescue him, you must do it again. 

20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, ‘

That you may be wise in your latter end. 

21 There are many plans in a man's heart,

But the LORD's counsel will prevail. 

22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.

A poor man is better than a liar.

23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment;

He rests and will not be touched by trouble. 

24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

He will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. 

25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;

Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 

26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother,

Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. 

27 Stop, my son, listening to instruction,

And you will stray from the words of knowledge. 

28 A corrupt witness mocks justice,

And the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity. 

29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers,

And beatings for the backs of fools.

OLD TESTAMENT: 1 SAMUEL 10:1 - 11:15

10:1 Then Shemu'el took the vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, Isn't it that the LORD has anointed you to be prince over his inheritance? 2 When you are departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the border of Binyamin at Tzeltzach; and they will tell you, The donkeys which you went to seek are found; and, behold, your father has left off caring for the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son? 3 Then shall you go on forward from there, and you shall come to the oak of Tavor; and there shall meet you there three men going up to God to Beit-El, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine: 4 and they will Greet you, and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive of their hand. 5 After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Pelishtim: and it shall happen, when you are come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying: 6 and the Spirit of the LORD will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man. 7 Let it be, when these signs are come to you, that you do as occasion shall serve you; for God is with you. 8 You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shall you wait, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do. 9 It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Shemu'el, God gave him another heart: and all those signs happened that day. 10 When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them. 11 It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come to the son of Kish? Is Sha'ul also among the prophets? 12 One of the same place answered, Who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Sha'ul also among the prophets? 13 When he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. 14 Sha'ul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where went you? He said, To seek the donkeys; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Shemu'el. 15 Sha'ul's uncle said, Tell me, Please, what Shemu'el said to you. 16 Sha'ul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Shemu'el spoke, he didn't tell him. 17  Shemu'el called the people together to the LORD to Mitzpah; 18 and he said to the children of Yisra'el, Thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, I brought up Yisra'el out of Mitzrayim, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Mitzrim, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you: 19 but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, [No], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands. 20 So Shemu'el brought all the tribes of Yisra'el near, and the tribe of Binyamin was taken. 21 He brought the tribe of Binyamin near by their families; and the family of the Matri was taken; and Sha'ul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found. 22 Therefore they asked of the LORD further, Is there yet a man to come here? the LORD answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the baggage. 23 They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. 24 Shemu'el said to all the people, "You see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, [Long] live the king. 25 Then Shemu'el told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. Shemu'el sent all the people away, every man to his house. 26 Sha'ul also went to his house to Gevah; and there went with him the host, whose hearts God had touched. 27 But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? They despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his shalom.

11:1 Then Nachash the `Ammonite came up, and encamped against Yavesh-Gil`ad: and all the men of Yavesh said to Nachash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you. 2 Nachash the `Ammonite said to them, On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach on all Yisra'el. 3 The Zakenim of Yavesh said to him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Yisra'el; and then, if there be none to save us, we will come out to you. 4 Then came the messengers to Gevah of Sha'ul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept. 5 Behold, Sha'ul came following the oxen out of the field; and Sha'ul said, What ails the people that they weep? They told him the words of the men of Yavesh. 6 The Spirit of God came mightily on Sha'ul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly. 7 He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Yisra'el by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoever doesn't come forth after Sha'ul and after Shemu'el, so shall it be done to his oxen. The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man. 8 He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Yisra'el were three hundred thousand, and the men of Yehudah thirty thousand. 9 They said to the messengers who came, Thus shall you tell the men of Yavesh-Gil`ad, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance. The messengers came and told the men of Yavesh; and they were glad. 10 Therefore the men of Yavesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you. 11 It was so on the next day, that Sha'ul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the `Ammonim until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together. 12 The people said to Shemu'el, Who is he who said, Shall Sha'ul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death. 13 Sha'ul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day; for today the LORD has worked deliverance in Yisra'el. 14 Then said Shemu'el to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. 15 All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Sha'ul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace-offerings before the LORD; and there Sha'ul and all the men of Yisra'el rejoiced greatly.

NEW TESTAMENT: JOHN 6:43 - 71

6:43 Therefore Yeshua answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves. 

44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day. 

45 It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who hears from the Father, and has learned, comes to me. 

46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God. He has seen the Father. 

47 Most assuredly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life. 

48 I am the bread of life. 

49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 

50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die. 

51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world." 

52 The Yehudim therefore contended with one another, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" 

53 Yeshua therefore said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don't have life in yourselves. 

54 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 

55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 

56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I in him. 

57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who feeds on me, he will also live because of me.

58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven -- not as our fathers ate the manna, and died. He who eats this bread will live forever." 

59 These things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Kafar-Nachum. 

60 Therefore many of his talmidim, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying! Who can hear it?" 

61 But Yeshua knowing in himself that his talmidim murmured at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble? 

62 What if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? 

63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. 

64 But there are some of you who don't believe." For Yeshua knew from the beginning who they were who didn't believe, and who it was who would betray him. 

65 He said, "For this cause have I said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father." 

66 At this, many of his talmidim went back, and walked no more with him. 

67 Yeshua said therefore to the twelve, "You don't also want to go away, do you?" 

68 Shim`on Kefa answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. 

69 We have come to believe and know that you are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." 

70 He answered them, "Didn't I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" 

71 Now he spoke of Yehudah, the son of Shim`on Ish-K'riot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.

19 "Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane? 20 Have you made him to leap as a arbeh? The glory of his snorting is awesome. 21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: He goes out to meet the armed men. 22 He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither does he turn back from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and the javelin. 24 He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, Neither does he stand still at the sound of the shofar. 25 As often as the shofar sounds he snorts, 'Aha!' He smells the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting. — Job 39:19-25 | Hebrew Names Version (HNV) The Hebrew Names Version Bible is in the public domain.
