I entitled this Bible Study…

Devarim chapter 24: Help the poor, widow, and the orphan; this is a true Boaz

Why?

I am glad you asked….

Often times when Boaz, is spoken of he is dramatized as that prince charming who swoops in and rescues a poor widow and her mother-in-law from starvation. Ruth is faithful, Naomi is was and cunning, Orpah is rebellious and unfaithful, and converts make the best Jews… hahaha… I obviously added that last part in there.

But, in all seriousness, I want us to take a look at how a group of individuals lived out Torah not perfectly, but faithfully, and how Merciful HaShem, was with them all the way.

Let’s continue on..

What to expect this Bible Study. We have not returned to a full schedule, but I would like to ease into Season 6…..therefore we will be calling this part of the Season 5.5… hahahahahaha!It will not be a full schedule, but at least we have the warm up, because summer isn’t hot enough… right?!?!

But, once we get rockin and rollin……

We will continue to increase in our intro Hebrew vocabulary, intro Hebrew terminology, Tanakh (the actual …. Jewish Bible.. that means no “new testament”) introduction, and Torah Spiritual Teaching.(Moving on to the Bible Study section)

 Blessings of the Torah:

Why Blessings of the Torah?:

Before we begin the Study of the Torah a Blessing is done. In saying the Blessing we are for filling a mitzvah and Blessing HaShem, of Glory and Truth’s beautiful Torah.  

A Mitzvah is defined basically as:

1. A commandment of the Jewish law.
2. The fulfillment of such a commandment.
3. A worthy deed.

 I, say these Blessings every morning during my morning prayers. And, to ensure I am not leading others into to improper practices, I want to ensure I repeat the Blessings of HaShem, Our Merciful Father’s Torah just incase others may not have yet had a chance today.

Blessings of the Torah:

Blessed are You, HaShem our God, King of the Universe, Who sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to be engrossed in the words of Torah.
HaShem our God, please make the words of Your Torah pleasant in our mouths and in the mouths of Your people Israel. And may we and our descendants [and the descendants of our descendants] and the descendants of Your people the House of Israel, all know Your Name and be students of Your Torah for its own sake.
Blessed are You, HaShem Who teaches Torah to His people, Israel.
Blessed are You, HaShem our God, King of the Universe Who chose us from among all the peoples and gave us His Torah. Blessed are You, HaShem, Giver of the Torah!

Blessing before the reading of the Torah:

Bor’chu es ado-noy ha-m’voroch.
Bless the L-rd who is blessed.
Congregation and Oleh say:
Boruch ado-noy ha-m’voroch l’olom vo-ed.
Blessed be the L-rd who is blessed for all eternity.
Oleh continues:
Boruch atoh ado-noy elo-haynu melech ho-olom, asher bochar bonu mikol ha-amim, v’nosan lonu es toroso. Boruch atoh ado-noy, nosayn ha-toroh.
Blessed are You, L-rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has chosen us from among all the nations and given us His Torah. Blessed are You L-rd, who gives the Torah.

Portion of a Portion: Devarim ch 24: 1-4

When a man takes [in marriage] a woman and espouses her,
and it happens: if she does not find favor in his eyes
—for he finds in her something of “nakedness”—
he may write for her a Document of Cutoff;
he is to place [it] in her hand
and send her away from his household. [When] she goes out from his house,
she goes and becomes another man’s, and he comes-to-hate her, the latter man, he is to write her a Document of Cutoff,
and place it in her hand
and send her away from his household;
or if he should die, the latter man, who took her for him as a wife, he may not return, her first husband who sent her away,
to take her to be his as a wife,
since she has become-tamei;
for it is an abomination before the presence of YHWH,
that you not bring-sin-upon the land
that YHWH your God is giving you as an inheritance!

Commentary:

If a man finds out the woman (one who was supposed to be his helper and mate), whom he has found out to be involved in unrepented wickedness (witchcraft, sorcery, or a traitor/informer to enemy nations),… he has no high court’s provable facts, but is certain… thus the wife has a high possibility of bringing shame upon the nation and his name… he is to give her warnings. If those warnings of guidance in Torah are not heeded, the husband is to give his wife the final ultimatum… the bill of divorce and the now former wife is to be cut off from the tribe, his benefits, and inheritance of his tribe in Israel. The former husband will send her off with her provisions of life sustained or received during the marriage.

If then the former wife is able to marry another husband, and through her wickedness or neglect, or cause of grave sin… the new husband dies; the former husband is banned from receiving back the former wife.

Why?

Soul ties, perversity, and the death of the new husband was most likely due to the sin guilt of the former wife and new husband combined.

Devarim chapter 24 verse 5

When a man takes a new wife,
he is not to go out to the armed-forces,
he is not to cross over to them for any matter;
[free-and-]clear let him remain in his house for one year,
and let him give-joy to his wife whom he has taken.

Below I have provided the text of what a discussion from the Jewish courts looks like. It might be that many people have a negative assumption regarding Jewish law and its treatment of and towards women. I will go into further detail during the video lesson of the class, but I do believe the text shows that the goal of the courts is to first and foremost be loyal to the Laws of HaShem, The Holy One, and the Torah, and to the covenant of marriage. Only after these required basic fundamentals are met can human laws and emotions be considered.
I love reading these types of texts. I find the information and situations full of wisdom and on a higher level of spiritual insight and foresight. Wisdom I pray one day to achieve with hard work and determination.

An example of what a complicated divorce looks like in Judaism:

Divorce

Question:A woman was divorced in the civil courts about a year ago. She has recently obtained a “get”. She wants to remarry, and the soldier she is to marry is about to go overseas. However, the prescribed three month interval between the Jewish divorce and intended re-marriage has not yet elapsed. Should we under war-time conditions waive this required period of waiting?

Answer:The purpose of the law requiring the three months interval between a divorce and marriage to another man is to establish the paternity of a child so that there should be no doubt whether a child born seven months after a second marriage is a seven month child of the second husband or a nine month child by the first husband. (See the discussion b. Yevomoth

42a.) If we consider merely the question of fulfilling the purpose of law, then we could decide that inasmuch as she has been civilly divorced and therefore separated from her first husband for a period of much longer than three months, the purpose of the law is fulfilled. If we so decide we would be taking the same stand as Rabbi Judah in the Tosefta Yevamoth VI, 6 where the discussion concerns a woman who was driven out of husband’s home and had gone home to her father’s house, etc. Rabbi Judah decides that she may be married at once to another man i.e., if she has been separated from her husband for a period longer than three months, she may be married at once after her divorce. Somewhat the same reasoning is back of the decision by Joseph Karo in the Shulchan Aruch Even Ha-ezer 13, I, when he decides that the three months must be counted from the day that the divorce is written even though the woman may not get the divorce for a considerable time afterwards, and the reason he gives for this decision is that they had not lived together after the divorce was written.

However, although in the case referred to our Committee the woman has been separated from her husband for a period longer than three months and has thus fulfilled the basic purpose of the law of waiting, she may not be remarried until three months have passed since the get, for the law is not according to Rabbi Judah who would permit her immediate marriage, but according to Rabbi Meir who forbids it. (See the Tosefta passage just quoted and b. Yevamoth

42b.) See also Be’er Hagolah to Shulchan Aruch Even Haezer 13,I.) In order to prevent carelessness with regard to the law in the case of a woman the paternity of whose child might be open to doubt if she married before the three month period, the rabbis have made a gezerah forbidding the second marriage before the three month interval, even for such women who would not have been physically intimate with their husbands during the period involved. In guiding our chaplains with regard to such marriages, we should follow the same principle which we have followed in a number of analogous decisions in the past, and ask the chaplain to consider the family background of the parties involved. If, for example, they are from a family belonging to a Reform synagogue which accepts the validity of civil divorce, they may be married. If they belong to a family of stricter observance which does not accept the validity of civil divorce, then the rabbinical law of divorce must be followed, including the requirement of a three month period of waiting for all women, no matter what their individual circumstances may be. In the specific case brought before the Committee, the fact that the woman received a “get” after having had a civil divorce is indication enough that either she or her former husband or the man that she is about to marry is Orthodox and, therefore, she should not be married until the full three month period has elapsed.

Remarriage and Jewish Divorce

Question: A soldier intends to return home to marry his fiancee in the near future. This man was divorced by the State Government several years back and he gave his wife a “get”. He has no written evidence to show that he delivered a “get” to his wife. He does not even remember the name of the rabbi, nor the names of any of the witnesses. His estranged wife’s family furnished the rabbi and they will not give him any information. The soldier’s attorney was present at the time and he happens to know the date on which the “get” was written. This is the only information that the soldier has. Will an orthodox rabbi perform the wedding ceremony if the soldier cannot produce any written evidence that he gave a “get” to his first wife?(This responsum is not given as a decision by the CANRA but as information to the chaplains. In such a matter it is recommended that the chaplain consult a competent Orthodox authority.)

Answer:The Talmud in b. Baba Bathra 34b and 35a discusses the question of whether a man is believed if he says he divorced his wife and no other evidence is adduced. The conclusion which the Talmud comes to is that he is not believed with regard to her past status (l’mafraya) but is believed with regard to her present and future status (l’haba). That is to day, she cannot, merely on the basis of his statement, be considered to have been divorced from the date that he declared he gave her the divorce, but she can be considered divorced from now on; for if he wishes he could divorce her now. Therefore there is no reason to disbelieve his statement. However, Maimonides (Hil. Gerushin XII, 5) decides that he is not to be believed, and says that we should say to the man, “If you wish to divorce her, divorce her now.” Likewise, the Shulhan Aruch, Even Haezer 152,I, says that he is not believed if he make a statement that he divorced his wife but that the wife, however, is in the status of being dubiously divorced.

Thus the Talmud permits him to be believed about the future status of his wife; and while Maimonides says he is not to be believed, Maimonides evidently visualizes both husband and wife being present since he suggests that he should divorce her now. Joseph Karo acknowledges that the wife is in a state of dubious divorce. It is evident, therefore, that when her husband makes the statement that he has divorced his wife, he is to some extent believed. The particular case which Chaplain Buaman presents before us is not quite the same as the one dealt with in the Talmud and the codes. In the case before us we are not dealing with the status of the woman, which is always strictly construed, but rather with the status of the man, which is less strictly construed. Furthermore, in this case we do not rely entirely upon the mere declaration of the husband. The lawyer testifies that he was present at the divorce and knows the date on which the get was written.

Therefore we are not dealing with a case which is dependent entirely upon the man’s statement, but one in which “there is some report” of the divorce proceedings (Yesh lo kol). See Rashi to b. Baba Bathra 134b; also Ture Sahav to Even Haezer 152,I; and also Beth Shmuel ad loc. Therefore the man should be permitted to marry the woman to whome he is now engaged. It is urged at the suggestion of Dr. Jung that in such cases an attempt be made to discover who gave the “get”. The man involved, therefore, should give us his Hebrew name and the name of his former wife and an advertisement should be inserted in the Jewish Morning Journal (which is read by Orthodox rabbis) asking for information with regard to this particular divorce.

Devarim chapter 24 verse: 6

There is not to be seized-for-payment a handmill or an upper-millstone,
for [one’s] life would [thus] be seized.

Commentary:

Taking away someone’s ability or tool to work and earn a respectable living is equal to sentencing someone to death. This is also linked with removing someone’s livelihood falsely, bearing false witnesses, stealing, and taking advantage of a person in need.

Some might think bullying or creating a hostile work environment isn’t equal to removing a millstone, although there are emotional millstones too. Millstones are not just physical, but spiritual. Removing or taking away positivity in someone’s life and creating an oppressive, hateful, cruel, or abusive environment of any kind can directly cause or indirectly contribute to removing someone’s will to live. Torah sees those evil actions as murder, whether they are committed firsthand, secondhand, or thirdhand.

Devarim chapter 24 verse 7:

When a man is found to have stolen a person from his brothers, from the Children of Israel,
and he deals-treacherously with him and sells him:
that thief shall die;
so shall you eradicate the evil from your midst!

Commentary:

If there are slave traders or kidnappers of non-Jews and/or only Jews within the territory of Israel, they are to be warned that those abominable attacks on a person are not allowed. If the person continues in their evil, they are to be stoned.

Devarim chapter 24 verses 8-9

Be careful regarding the affliction of tzaraat; take exceeding care to observe [the rules];
exactly as the Levitical priests instruct you, as I have commanded them, you are to carefully observe. Bear-in-mind what YHWH your God did to Miryam, on the way at your going out of Egypt!

Commentary:

Below are previous classes that we conducted here regarding tzaraat or leprosy.

Leviticus ch 14 Leprosy forms: Crimson Worms, Cedar Stick, and Leather

Leviticus ch 13: Leprosy and other Skin Disease are Spiritual illness? Yes. How To detect in Bible

Since the verse quote to remember the pain of even the Prophet Miriam when she chose to speak in slander against Moses, our Blessed Teacher, it is appropriate to review the Torah verses here.

Numbers chapter 12

Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman he had taken [into his household as his wife]: “He took a Cushite woman!” They said, “Has יהוה spoken only through Moses? Has [God] not spoken through us as well?” יהוה heard it.

Now Moses himself was very humble, more so than any other human being on earth. Suddenly יהוה called to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting.”

So the three of them went out. יהוה came down in a pillar of cloud, stopped at the entrance of the Tent, and called out, “Aaron and Miriam!”

The two of them came forward; and [God] said, “Hear these My words: When prophets of יהוה arise among you, I make Myself known to them in a vision, I speak with them in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; he is trusted throughout My household. With him I speak mouth to mouth, plainly and not in riddles, and he beholds the likeness of יהוה. How then did you not shrink from speaking against My servant Moses!” Still incensed with them, יהוה departed.

As the cloud withdrew from the Tent, there was Miriam stricken with snow-white scales!

When Aaron turned toward Miriam, he saw that she was stricken with scales. And Aaron said to Moses, “O my lord, account not to us the sin which we committed in our folly. Let her not be like a stillbirth which emerges from its mother’s womb with half its flesh eaten away!”

So Moses cried out to יהוה, saying, “O God, pray heal her!” But יהוה said to Moses, “If her father spat in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut out of camp for seven days, and then let her be readmitted.”

So Miriam was shut out of camp seven days; and the people did not march on until Miriam was readmitted. After that the people set out from Hazeroth and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

Numbers ch 12: Sedation of Miriam and Aaron. When Loved ones betrayal is a sharp sword.

Devarim ch 24 verses 10-13

When you lend to your neighbor, a loan of anything,
you are not to enter his house to take-his-pledge as a pledge. Outside you are to stand,
and the man to whom you have lent is to bring out the pledge to you, outside. And if he is an afflicted man, you may not lie down in his pledge; you are to return, yes, return to him the pledge when the sun comes in,
that he may lie down in his garment,
and bless you,
and yours will be righteous-merit, before the presence of YHWH your God.

Commentary:

I love what the Midrash says about this verse. I want to introduce others to more and more of the Oral Laws in Orthodox Judaism. I am no expert, but I enjoy learning and growing…so let’s share and care!

Let’s go over a couple of definitions before we dive into the explanation of the text.

Oral Law, which every culture, household, workplace, establishment, functioning society, and every, and I do mean every, religion has.

A basic grade school explanation of Oral could be: “Interpretations”. The interpretation of the Oral Torah is thus considered as the authoritative reading of the Written Torah. Further, Halakha (lit. “The Path”, frequently translated as “Jewish Law”) is based on a written instruction together with an oral instruction.

What is Judaism: The Oral Law -Talmud & Mishna?

The Oral Law is a legal commentary on the Torah, explaining how its commandments are to be carried out. Common sense suggests that some sort of oral tradition was always needed to accompany the Written Law, because the Torah alone, even with its 613 commandments, is an insufficient guide to Jewish life. For example, the fourth of the Ten Commandments, ordains, “Remember the Sabbath day to make it holy” (Exodus 20:8). From the Sabbath’s inclusion in the Ten Commandments, it is clear that the Torah regards it as an important holiday. Yet when one looks for the specific biblical laws regulating how to observe the day, one finds only injunctions against lighting a fire, going away from one’s dwelling, cutting down a tree, plowing and harvesting. Would merely refraining from these few activities fulfill the biblical command to make the Sabbath holy? Indeed, the Sabbath rituals that are most commonly associated with holiness-lighting of candles, reciting the kiddush, and the reading of the weekly Torah portion are found not in the Torah, but in the Oral Law.

So what is the Tosefta?

Summarizer The Tosefta is a collection of oral traditions related to Jewish oral law. It is a separate compilation of baraitot passages, organized in accordance with the order of the Mishnah, and contains interpretations of Judaic laws. The Tosefta is characterized as a text that provides explanation for murky sections of the Mishnah, its more dominant and well-studied counterpart. The Tosefta is much larger than the Mishnah and contains interpretations of Judaic laws that sometimes support the Mishnah but may also contradict its teachings. The explanatory notes are introduced with the word “Hosif” (“He has added” or “He has extended”). A sentence thus elucidated and completed was called a tosefta, this term being used not only for the additional notes only, but for the entire aphorism in its completed form

Now, that we have an understanding of Oral Law in Judaism… let’s read some text concerning the above verse, We can read in Tosefta Peah 3:13 the following:

[A person] who is cutting gavels [of grain, with intention] to bundle them into sheaves later [and not right away], and also [a person who is piling up] heaps of garlic [with intention to make from the heaps] bundles of garlic, or [spread out] onions, [later and not right away, if any of these gavels of grain or heaps of garlic, or spread out onions, have been forgotten in the field, the law of] Shikcha (forgotten sheaves) does not apply to them, [and therefore they still belong to the owner, who can go back and retrieve them.]
[A person] who is binding sheaves, because of [an approaching] fire or because of an irrigation canal [that broke through and is about to flood the field, if any of these sheaves have been forgotten in the field the law of] Shikcha does not apply to them, [and therefore they still belong to the owner, who can go back and retrieve them,] because he (i.e. the farmer) will check [the field for any forgotten sheaves, since he is not harvesting them, but rather moving them out of the way of the fire or flooding water.]

It happened with a certain pious person that he forgot a sheaf in his field [during harvest,] and he said to his son, “Go [to the Temple in Jerusalem] and sacrifice in my name a bull for Korban Olah (burnt-offering) and a bull for Korban Shlamim (peace-offering).” He (i.e. his son) said [back] to him (i.e. the father), “Father! What have you seen in this commandment [of Shikcha that caused you] to rejoice [about it] more than all [other] commandments that are mentioned in the Torah?” He (i.e. the father) said [back] to him (i.e. the son), “All [other] commandments [that are mentioned] in the Torah have been given to us by God [to be executed] consciously (i.e. on purpose with intent).

[But] this [commandment of Shikcha was given to us by God to be executed] unconsciously (i.e. accidentally due to forgetfulness), because if we would have done it willingly (i.e. left the sheaf in the field on purpose for the poor to take) in front of God, this commandment would not be counted for us [as a fulfilled commandment of Shikcha, but rather as a random act of kindness.]” He (i.e. the son) said [back] to him (i.e. the father), “It says [in the Torah], ‘When you will harvest your harvest in your field and you will forget a sheaf in the field, do not go back to take it.

It shall be [left there] for the Non-Jewish resident, for the orphan, and for the widow, in order that Hashem, your God, will bless you with all the deeds of your hand.’ (Devarim 24:19) The verse has granted him (i.e. the farmer who left the sheaf in the field) a blessing. [But why did the verse need to say explicitly that the farmer will get a blessing?]

Is not it a Kal Vechomer (derivation from minor to major) [which can be concluded by us logically without the need of an explicit verse]? Just like someone who did not intend to do something good, but he [ended up] doing something good [anyway], the verse considers him as if he has done something good, so for sure someone who intended to do something good, and [ended up] doing something good [that he meant to do] how much more so [should get a blessing]?”

Similarly, [it says in the Torah:] “If a soul from the common people sins by accident by doing one of the negative commandments of Hashem, and becomes guilty of it. When his sin which he sinned will become known to him … (the verses go on to describe the sacrifice that the sinner should bring) … and the priest will atone for him, and he will be forgiven.” (Vayikra 4:27-31) And it is a Kal Vechomer [which can be concluded by us logically]!

Just like someone who did not intend to sin, but sinned [anyway], we consider him as if he sinned. So someone who intended to sin and [then] sinned, how much more so [should be considered as if he sinned. And therefore will for sure get punished.]

Devarim chapter 24 verses 14-15:

You are not to withhold from a hired-hand, an afflicted and needy-one,
[whether] from your brothers or from your sojourner that is within your land, within your gates. On his payday you are to give his wage; you are not to let the sun come in upon him,
for he is afflicted, for it he lifts his life-breath—
that he not call out against you to YHWH, and there be sin upon you!

Commentary:

Withholding righteous pay that a needy or not needed worker has earned is considered abusive, belittling, and shaming a worker. The Holy Blessed One, wants everyone to maintain a level of dignity. We are directed by Merciful HaShem, to always consider someone else’s feelings who might seem to be at a disadvantage. Not to say we look down on others, G-d forbid, but we are to ensure we never become an instrument of destruction to others’ day or emotional, financial, or religious well-being in Torah for Torah.

Devarim chapter 24 verse 16:

Fathers are not to be put to death for sons,
and sons are not to be put to death for fathers:
everyone for his own sin [alone] is to be put to death!

Commentary:

Devarim chapter 24 verses 17-18

You are not to cast aside the case of a sojourner [or] an orphan,
you are not to seize-for-payment the clothing of a widow. You are to bear-in-mind that serf were you in the land of Egypt,
and YHWH your God redeemed you from there;
therefore I command you to observe this word!

Commentary:

To be or not to be a Boaz, that is the question.

I love older movie of the Bible, so here I am sharing this one. I haven’t watch this version. I actually might now that I have found it. For those who enjoy Biblical movies, I pray you enjoy.

Boaz fulfilled the commandments of this Bible study. I think it is a great lesson. Many focus on the love story of Boaz and Ruth, or the loyalty of Ruth, or the Naomi’s matchmaking wisdom, which are all great points. I, however, want to focus on the laws that were followed throughout the story of Ruth. So here we shall review the basic story of The Book of Ruth.

The Ruth Story

Devarim chapter 24 verse 19

When you cut down your harvest in your field, and you forget a sheaf in the field,
you are not to return to get it;
for the sojourner, for the orphan and for the widow it shall be,
in order that YHWH your God may bless you in all the doings of your hands.

Commentary:

Boaz was indeed blessed for his goodness and kindness, and obedience to HaShem. Throughout the story of the Book of Ruth, he not only was kind to Ruth and her mother-in-law, but also to others in the field. Those who were not wealthy most likely had no social influence and might have been orphans, widows, or escaped slaves.

Boaz, didn’t go around with his workers demanding to see everyone’s expulsion letter, or yellow star, or tattoos, or even their family tree; to verify if they were or were not Jewish.

Boaz, didn’t demand and question them being in town or his field, or even what synagogue they attended.

Boaz, simply provided the opportunity for God, in His glory, to work miracles – life-saving miracles through him each and every day, week, month, and season.

Wow! May we all be so blessed to truly be a Boaz in our lifetime.

Devarim chapter 24 verses 20-22

When you knock off your olives, you are not to check-the-boughs after you;
for the sojourner, for the orphan and for the widow it shall be. When you cut off [grapes in] your vineyard, you are not to glean after you;
for the sojourner, for the orphan and for the widow it shall be.
You are to bear-in-mind that serf were you in the land of Egypt;

therefore I command you to do this thing!

Commentary:

Meerciful, Wonderful, Glorious… HaShem… is the G-d of everyone!

I pray as we go out today and always… we remember this…

Let’s go and be a Boaz! For the glory of the one and only Living G-d!

HaShem, Blessed be His Name!

friendly reminder: 

Haftara this portion is Isaiah 54 : 1- 10

Shout, O infertile one,
You who bore no child!
Shout aloud for joy,
You who did not travail!
For the children of the wife forlorn
Shall outnumber those of the espoused
—said GOD.
Enlarge the site of your tent,
Extend the size of your dwelling,
Do not stint!
Lengthen the ropes, and drive the pegs firm.
For you shall spread out to the right and the left;
Your offspring shall dispossess nations
And shall people the desolate towns.
Fear not, you shall not be shamed;
Do not cringe, you shall not be disgraced.
For you shall forget
The reproach of your youth,
And remember no more
The shame of your widowhood.
For the One who made you—whose name is “ GOD of Hosts”—
Will espouse you.
The Holy One of Israel—who is called “God of all the Earth”—
Will redeem you.
GOD has called you back
As a wife forlorn and forsaken.
Can one cast off the wife of his youth?
—said your God.
For a little while I forsook you,
But with vast love I will bring you back.
In slight anger, for a moment,
I hid My face from you;
But with kindness everlasting
I will take you back in love
—said GOD your Redeemer.
For this to Me is like the waters of Noah:
As I swore that the waters of Noah
Nevermore would flood the earth,
So I swear that I will not
Be angry with you or rebuke you.
For the mountains may move
And the hills be shaken,
But my loyalty shall never move from you,
Nor My covenant of friendship be shaken
—said GOD, who takes you back in love.

The Priestly Blessing

And  HaShem our G-D spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
Yivarechecha Adonai viyishmirecha
Ya’er Adonai panav elecha veechuneka
Yeesa Adonai panav elecha viyasem lecha shalom
“The L-d bless you and keep you;
The L-d make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The L-d lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” ’
“So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”
In HaShem and HaShem’s alone Mighty Glorious Name.
Forever and Ever
O’Amein and O’Amein.

For those that are new to this Bible Study.

Welcome, the following is a brief review of this Bible Study.

1. This BLOG post will have the resources and sources links for the Season 6 Bible Studies. 2. All Books used and Readings from during Live Bible Study can be found on Our Website: Marie Speaks GOD’s Grace. Live in the Bible Study Blogs portion of the website. 3. After Live Bible Studies have completed: I will upload to Rumble and Youtube, and post link in this BLOG. 

How we conduct Bible Studies here:We believe in One and Only One G-D. HaShem; The G-D of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.We do not and will not Pray in any others name or Praise any other, but HaShem.

Exodus chapter 20: 2-14.God spoke all these words, saying:I the LORD am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage:You shall have no other gods besides Me.You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters under the earth.You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the LORD your God am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me, but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

We believe G-D has called each of us to search matters out. (It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, And the glory of a king to plumb a matter.Like the heavens in their height, like the earth in its depth, Is the mind of kings—unfathomable. .

Proverbs 25:2 -3) This is one reason why here at Marie Speaks G-D’s Grace Bible Study, we review several historical references and resources, of which we provide links and or screen shots for others to study at their leisure.We have been directed by G-D Wonderful and Almighty, to go Book by Book, Verse by Verse; sharing HIS Torah and Tanakh.We believe as directed by G-D Our Heavenly Father, learning and growing in Torah and Tanakh leads to understanding and wisdom; this shall only be achieved in reading, studying, and sharing HIS Word for ourselves; not relying on man. 

Learning, growing, and studying with OUR L-D is to be done with others that are like minded, but more so during our personal time.The BLOGs are written to assist those just beginning to study the BIBLE as a starting point. The Live or recorded Bible Studies are to cover and release opportunities and guidance, but ultimately is ones own personal responsibility to rule, govern, and be purposeful in their relationship with G-D.

Proverbs 22: 4 thru 6The effect of humility is fear of the LORD, Wealth, honor, and life.Thorns and snares are in the path of the crooked; He who values his life will keep far from them.Train a lad in the way he ought to go; He will not swerve from it even in old age.

Ezekiel 18: 20 thru 22The person who sins, he alone shall die. A child shall not share the burden of a parent’s guilt, nor shall a parent share the burden of a child’s guilt; the righteousness of the righteous shall be accounted to him alone, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be accounted to him alone.Moreover, if the wicked one repents of all the sins that he committed and keeps all My laws and does what is just and right, he shall live; he shall not die.None of the transgressions he committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness he has practiced, he shall live. Is it my desire that a wicked person shall die?—says the L-d G-D. It is rather that he shall turn back from his ways and live.

May HaShem, Blessed be He, continue to Bless us all and may we all be forever written in the Book of Life. O’Amein and O’Amein

A little about me: I love HaShem, TORAH, and Tanakh!!!!! I am not perfect!!!!

If we meet: We talking about Torah, drinking tea or coffee, and what books are out about HaShem! And maybe over some kosher pizza… maybe over some kosher steak…make over super sweet kosher cake ……. have a fun laugh about you guess it… Torah! Or on a bike, or  during a hike,  or while riding on a train in the rain as the rain falls nicely on the plain in Spain….., but either way…..We’ll be talking about TORAH!!!!

What is import to me:……..A relationship with Our Father  HaShem, Our Merciful Creator, Savior, and Wise King. Live in Torah, live with Family and community of Tribe.

My thoughts: We may not be perfect, but we study, we learn, we laugh, & we grow; we try try and have the courage to try again.

My goals: To learn, and grow, and share Love of Torah in HaShem with others who are willing or open to hearing. HaShem is my refuge, my strength, my confidant, and my true resting place.

I have been using the minds.com account and Rumble (Live Bible Study video Post: Rumble  )as main accounts.

Lastly, NEVER LOSE FAITH, Hope, and have Courage!!!! Let’s continue to Fear and Love HaShem like a משיח and Pray. PRAY FOR OUR NATION, enemies, fellows, and many lost Sons and Daughters of Torah to return to HaShem, Blessed be He, for ever and ever Amen.  

HaShem is with me … I shall not be afraid!!!!!

Blessings and Prayers.

with Love truly,

Marie
