The Eternal Torah
The Foundations
The Absolute Standard
The Torah of π€π€π€ π€ (YaHU’aH) is the Foundation of the Covenant and the Standard of The Way. The Torah is not law—it is life. It is the spoken instruction of π€π€π€ π€ to His people, the eternal guide for how to walk in righteousness, justice, order, and Qadash (Consecrated)-identity. It was never abolished, never replaced, and never meant to be reinterpreted by religion or the nations. It is the heart of Derak—the only path back to the covenant.
We acknowledge that today the chosen ones of Yashar’al remain scattered across the face of the earth, dwelling in the lands of our enemies. The land of our inheritance lies desolate—even as was spoken in the book of π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus), that He will bring the land into desolation so that our enemies who dwell therein will be astonished at it; and He will scatter us among the gentiles, drawing out a sword after us, so that our land becomes a waste and our cities a ruin. Then the land will finally enjoy its Shabbats as long as it lies desolate and we are in our enemies' land; then the land will rest and enjoy its Shabbats [π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:32-34]. Because we are not currently gathered in Yarushalayim—the place where π€π€π€ π€ placed His Name—there are certain practices and sacrificial requirements that cannot be fulfilled in their fullness. However, the instruction remains our light in the darkness. We guard what can be guarded in our exile as a sign of our return.
π€π€π€ π€π€ (Yahusha) did not destroy the Torah—He fulfilled and lived it [π€π€π€π€π€π€ (MatithYAHU-Matthew) 5:17]. Every commandment still stands. Every instruction still matters. The Torah reveals what pleases π€π€π€ π€, what separates the Qadash from the profane, and what keeps the remnant of Yashar’al from the snares of deception. This is your return point. This is your inheritance.
The Nature of π€π€π€ π€
This category focuses on the absolute Oneness (Echad) of the Creator, the sanctity of His revealed Name, and the requirement for total devotion. It clarifies that π€π€π€ π€ is the only source of salvation and power.
- Hear, O Yashar'al: π€π€π€ π€ our ALuah, π€π€π€ π€ is Echad (One)! You will love π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 6:4-5]
- I am π€π€π€ π€, that is My Name; and My esteem I will not give to another, nor My honor to carved images. [π€π€π€π€π€π€ (YashaYAHU-Isaiah) 42:8]
-
Sanctifying the Name: "And you shall not profane My Qadash Name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Yashar'al: I am π€π€π€ π€ who hallows you." — π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:32
-
Emulating His Ways: "π€π€π€ π€ shall establish you a Qadash people to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you shall keep the Mitzvot of π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, and walk in His ways." — π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 28:9
- To Fear Him: You shall fear YaHU'aH your ALuah; Him you shall serve, and to Him you shall cleave, and swear by His Name. [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 10:20]
- Cleaving to Him: You shall fear YaHU'aH your ALuah; Him you shall serve, and to Him you shall cleave, and swear by His Name. [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 10:20]
- Not to Test Him: You shall not tempt YaHU'aH your ALuah, as you tempted Him in Massah.[π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 6:16]
Personal Torah Scroll: Now therefore write you this song for you, and teach it the children of Yashar'al: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Yashar'al. [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 31:19]
The Unchanging Torah
The Torah is the perfect instruction of π€π€π€ π€, designed to remain constant through all generations. This section warns against the human tendency to add traditions or remove "difficult" laws.
-
Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you will not add to it nor take away from it. [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 12:32]

The law of π€π€π€ π€ is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of π€π€π€ π€ is sure, making wise the simple. [π€π€π€π€π€ (Tahilliym-Psalms) 19:7]
The Ten Mitzvot (The Bedrock)
The Ten Mitzvot (Commandments) serve as the unshakeable core of the Everlasting Covenant. They are the primary conditions of the marriage contract (Brit) between π€π€π€ π€ and His people, defining the boundaries of love for ALuah (Mighty One) and love for neighbor.

Identity & Group-Specific Requirements
This section defines the distinct roles and physical requirements for those walking in the Covenant. While the Torah is one for all who join themselves to π€π€π€ π€ (YaHU'aH), He has established specific signs and duties based on gender and heritage to maintain order, headship, and the Qadash-identity of His people.
Male Specific Requirements
For the male, the covenant is marked by a physical sign and a heavy responsibility of spiritual headship. These requirements are the markers of a man of Yashar’al, distinguishing him in his appearance and his duties before π€π€π€ π€.

The Native-Born (Yashar'al)
The native-born descendants of the twelve tribes carry the inheritance of the land and the duty of the Kohanim. While all are equal in the covenant, the administration of the land and the service of the Tabernacle are reserved for specific tribal lineages as an everlasting statute.

The Sojourner & Stranger
The Torah is clear that there is no "dual standard." Any person from the nations who joins themselves to π€π€π€ π€ and guards His covenant is grafted into the house of Yashar’al and is subject to the same requirements and blessings as the native-born.

That you should enter into covenant with π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 29:10–13].
Sacred Time & The Divine Calendar
This section outlines the timing of the Covenant. π€π€π€ π€ (YaHU'aH) has not left His people to follow the calendars of the nations or the cycles of the false sun-mighty ones. He has established His own rhythm of rest and meeting—from the weekly Shabbat to the annual Appointed Times—as a sign between Him and those who walk in The Way.
The Weekly Shabbat
The Shabbat is the first and most frequent sign of the Covenant. It is a day of complete cessation from worldly labor and a return to the rest of ALuah (Mighty One). It serves as a weekly reminder that π€π€π€ π€ is the Creator and we are His people.

Fallow: That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you will not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest to the land. And the Shabbat of the land will be meat for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojourns with you, And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, will all the increase of it be meat [π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:5–7].
-
Counting: And you will number seven Shabbats of years to you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Shabbats of years will be to you forty and nine years. Then will you cause the trumpet of the Yobal to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement will you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land [π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:8–9].
-
Yobal (Jubilee): And you will hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants of it: it will be a Yobal to you; and you will return every man to his possession, and you will return every man to his family [π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:10].
-
Produce: A Yobal will that fiftieth year be to you: you will not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed. For it is the Yobal; it will be Qadash to you: you will eat the increase of it out of the field [π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:11–12].
-
Provision: Therefore you will do My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them; and you will dwell in the land in safety. And the land will yield her fruit, and you will eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety. And if you will say, What will we eat the seventh year? Look, we will not sow, nor gather in our increase: Then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it will bring forth fruit for three years. And you will sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in you will eat of the old store [π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:18–22].
-
Release: At the end of every seven years you will make a release. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends anything to his neighbor will release it; he will not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called π€π€π€ π€'s release. To a foreigner you may exact it again: but that which is yours with your brother your hand will release; Save when there will be no poor among you; for π€π€π€ π€ will greatly bless you in the land which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah gives you for an inheritance to possess it: Only if you carefully listen to the voice of π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, to observe to do all these commandments which I command you this day. For π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah blesses you, as He promised you: and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow; and you will reign over many nations, but they will not reign over you [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 15:1–6].
-
Lending: If there be among you a poor man of one of your brothers within any of your gates in your land which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah gives you, you will not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother: But you will open your hand wide to him, and will surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wants. Beware that there be not a thought in your wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to π€π€π€ π€ against you, and it be sin to you. You will surely give him, and your heart will not be grieved when you give to him: because that for this thing π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah will bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand to. For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You will open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 15:7–11].
-
Reading: And Moshah commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of Sukkoth, When all Yashar'al is come to appear before π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah in the place which He will choose, you will read this Torah before all Yashar'al in their hearing. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and your stranger that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, and observe to do all the words of this Torah: And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, as long as you live in the land where you go over Yardan to possess it [π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 31:10–13].

Not Planting in the Eighth Year (if Yobal): "A Yobal shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed." — π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:11

-
Note: These laws are land-dependent. While we are in the lands of our enemies, the land of Yashar’al lies desolate, resting as a consequence of our fathers' disobedience. We cannot enforce the release of debts or the fallowing of fields in the nations as we would in the Promised Land, yet we hold to the principle of mercy and release.

The Law of the Nazirite (Separation)
- The Vow of the Nazirite: "Speak to the children of Yashar'al, and say to them: 'When either a man or woman consecrates an offering to take the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to π€π€π€ π€, he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar made from wine or vinegar made from strong drink; neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins. All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin. All the days of the vow of his separation no razor shall come upon his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to π€π€π€ π€, he shall be Qadash. Then he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. All the days that he separates himself to π€π€π€ π€ he shall not go near a dead body. He shall not make himself unclean even for his father or his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his separation to ALuah is on his head. All the days of his separation he shall be Qadash to π€π€π€ π€.'" — π€π€π€π€π€ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 6:2-8
- Sudden Defilement: "And if anyone dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the Kohan, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting; and the Kohan shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body; and he shall sanctify his head that same day. He shall consecrate to π€π€π€ π€ the days of his separation, and bring a male lamb in its first year as a trespass offering; but the former days shall be lost, because his separation was defiled." — π€π€π€π€π€ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 6:9-12
- Completion of the Vow: "Now this is the law of the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of meeting. And he shall present his offering to π€π€π€ π€: one male lamb in its first year without blemish as a burnt offering, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish as a sin offering, one ram without blemish as a peace offering, a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their grain offering with their drink offerings. Then the Kohan shall bring them before π€π€π€ π€ and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering; and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of a peace offering to π€π€π€ π€, with the basket of unleavened bread; the Kohan shall also offer its grain offering and its drink offering. Then the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering." — π€π€π€π€π€ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 6:13-18
- The Final Offering: "And the Kohan shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated hair, and the Kohan shall wave them as a wave offering before π€π€π€ π€; they are Qadash for the Kohan, together with the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering. After that the Nazirite may drink wine. This is the law of the Nazirite who vows to π€π€π€ π€ the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is able to provide; according to the vow which he takes, so he must do according to the law of his separation." — π€π€π€π€π€ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 6:19-21

Justice is the visible fruit of the Torah. π€π€π€ π€ (YaHU'aH) has established a system of civil conduct that protects the weak, ensures honest commerce, and maintains order within the congregation.

Courage in Battle: When you go out to battle against your enemies, and see horses, and chariots, and a people more than you, be not afraid of them: for π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah (Mighty One) is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Mitsrayim. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 20:1
-
Exemptions from War: And it will be, when you are come near to the battle, that the Kohan will approach and speak to the people. And the officers will speak to the people, saying, What man is there that has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it. And what man is he that has planted a vineyard, and has not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it. And what man is there that has betrothed a wife, and has not taken her? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her. And the officers will speak further to the people, and they will say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return to his house, lest his brothers' heart faint as well as his heart. And it will be, when the officers have made an end of speaking to the people, that they will make captains of the armies to lead the people. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 20:2–9

Offer of Shalum: When you come near to a city to fight against it, then proclaim Shalum to it. And it will be, if it make you answer of Shalum, and open to you, then it will be, that all the people that is found therein will be tributaries to you, and they will serve you. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 20:10-11
-
Siege and Resistance: And if it will make no Shalum with you, but will make war against you, then you will besiege it: And when π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has delivered it into your hands, you will smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, you will take to yourself; and you will eat the spoil of your enemies, which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has given you. Thus will you do to all the cities which are very far off from you, which are not of the cities of these nations. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 20:12–15
-
Total Devotion: But of the cities of these people, which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah gives you for an inheritance, you will save alive nothing that breathes: But you will utterly destroy them; the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has commanded you: That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their mighty ones; so would you sin against π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 20:16–18
-
Preservation of Fruit Trees: When you will besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you will not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for you may eat of them, and you will not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege: Only the trees which you know that they be not trees for meat, you will destroy and cut them down; and you will build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it be subdued. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 20:19–20
-
Captives of War: When you go forth to war against your enemies, and π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has delivered them into your hands, and you have taken them captive, And see among the captives a beautiful woman, and have a desire to her, that you would have her to your wife; Then you will bring her home to your house; and she will shave her head, and pare her nails; And she will put the raiment of her captivity from her, and will remain in your house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that you will go in to her, and be her husband, and she will be your wife. And it will be, if you have no delight in her, then you will let her go where she will; but you will not sell her at all for money, you will not make merchandise of her, because you have humbled her. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 21:10–14
-
Sanitation and Purity: When the army goes forth against your enemies, then keep yourself from every wicked thing. If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chances him by night, then will he go outside the camp, he will not come within the camp: But it will be, when evening comes on, he will wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he will come into the camp again: And you will have a place also outside the camp, where you will go forth outside: And you will have a paddle upon your weapon; and it will be, when you will ease yourself outside, you will dig with it, and will turn back and cover that which comes from you: For π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore will your camp be Qadash: that He see no unclean thing in you, and turn away from you. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 23:9–13
-
Military Purification: And do you abide outside the camp seven days: whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood. And Al'azar the Kohan said to the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the Torah which π€π€π€ π€ commanded Moshah; Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, Every thing that may abide the fire, you will make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abides not the fire you will make go through the water. And you will wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you will be clean, and afterward you will come into the camp. π€π€π€π€π€ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 31:19–24
-
New Marriage Exemption: When a man has taken a new wife, he will not go out to war, neither will he be charged with any business: but he will be free at home one year, and will cheer up his wife which he has taken. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 24:5

The Command Against Idolatry: You will have no other mighty ones before Me. You will not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: You will not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah am a jealous ALuah, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; And showing mercy to thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments. π€π€π€ π€ (Shamoth-Exodus) 20:3–6

Warning Against Similitudes: Take you therefore good heed to yourselves; for you saw no manner of similitude on the day that π€π€π€ π€ spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air, The likeness of any thing that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: And lest you lift up your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has divided to all nations under the whole heaven. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 4:15–19

Judgment of Molek Worship: And π€π€π€ π€ spoke to Moshah, saying, Again, you will say to the children of Yashar'al, Whoever he be of the children of Yashar'al, or of the strangers that sojourn in Yashar'al, that gives any of his seed to Molek; he will surely be put to death: the people of the land will stone him with stones. And I will place My face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed to Molek, to defile My sanctuary, and to profane My Qadash Name. And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed to Molek, and kill him not: Then I will place My face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molek, from among their people. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 20:1–5

-
Destroying the Accursed: The carved images of their mighty ones will you burn with fire: you will not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it to you, lest you be snared therein: for it is an abomination to π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah.

Prohibition of Syncretism: When π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah will cut off the nations from before you, whither you go to possess them, and you succeed them, and dwell in their land; Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you enquire not after their mighty ones, saying, How did these nations serve their mighty ones? even so will I do likewise. You will not do so to π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah: for every abomination to π€π€π€ π€, which He hates, have they done to their mighty ones; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their mighty ones.

The False Messenger: If there arise among you a messenger, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other mighty ones, which you have not known, and let us serve them; You will not listen to the words of that messenger, or that dreamer of dreams: for π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah proves you, to know whether you love π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah with all your heart and with all your soul. You will walk after π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, and fear Him, and keep His commandments, and obey His voice, and you will serve Him, and cleave to Him. And that messenger, or that dreamer of dreams, will be put to death; because he has spoken to turn you away from π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, which brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust you out of the way which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah commanded you to walk in. So will you put the evil away from the midst of you. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 13:1–5

Enticement to Idolatry: If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, which is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other mighty ones, which you have not known, you, nor your fathers; Namely, of the mighty ones of the people which are round about you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; You will not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither will your eye pity him, neither will you spare, neither will you conceal him: But you will surely kill him; your hand will be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And you will stone him with stones, that he die; because he has sought to thrust you away from π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, which brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage. And all Yashar'al will hear, and fear, and will do no more any such wickedness as this is among you. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 13:6–11
-
Apostasy of a City: If you will hear say in one of your cities, which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has given you to dwell there, saying, Certain men are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other mighty ones, which you have not known; Then will you enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you; You will surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. And you will gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and will burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah: and it will be an heap for ever; it will not be built again. And there will cleave nothing of the cursed thing to your hand: that π€π€π€ π€ may turn from the fierceness of His anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion upon you, and multiply you, as He has sworn to your fathers; When you will listen to the voice of π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, to keep all His commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 13:12–18

Judgment for Idolatry and Witness Standards: If there be found among you, within any of your gates which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah gives you, man or woman, that has wrought wickedness in the sight of π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, in transgressing His covenant, And has gone and served other mighty ones, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded; And it be told you, and you have heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Yashar'al: Then will you bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, to your gates, even that man or that woman, and will stone them with stones, till they die. At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, will he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he will not be put to death. The hands of the witnesses will be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you will put the evil away from among you. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 17:2–7
-
Abominations of the Nations: When you are come into the land which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah gives you, you will not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There will not be found among you any one that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar Ruachim (Breaths), or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination to π€π€π€ π€: and because of these abominations π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah does drive them out from before you. You will be perfect with π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 18:9–13
-
No Groves or Pillars: You will not plant you a grove of any trees near to the altar of π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, which you will make you. Neither will you place you up any pillar; which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah hates. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 16:21–22
-
Destroying the Memory of Amalek: "Therefore it shall be, when π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; you shall not forget it." — π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 25:19

Defilement Restrictions: And π€π€π€ π€ said to Moshah, Speak to the Kohanim the sons of Aharon, and say to them, There will none be defiled for the dead among his people: But for his kin, that is near to him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, And for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, which has had no husband; for her may he be defiled. But he will not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. They will not make baldness upon their head, neither will they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:1–6
-
Profanation: And the daughter of any Kohan, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profanes her father: she will be burnt with fire. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:9
-
High-Kohan Purity: And he that is the high Kohan among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, will not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; Neither will he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; Neither will he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his ALuah; for the crown of the anointing oil of his ALuah is upon him: I am π€π€π€ π€. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:10–12
-
Virginity Standard: And he will take a wife in her virginity. A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these will he not take: but he will take a virgin of his own people to wife. Neither will he profane his seed among his people: for I π€π€π€ π€ do sanctify him. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:13–15
-
Blemishes in Kohanim: And π€π€π€ π€ spoke to Moshah, saying, Speak to Aharon, saying, Whoever he be of your seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his ALuah. For whatsoever man he be that has a blemish, he will not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed, Or crook-backt, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken; No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aharon the Kohan will come near to offer the offerings of π€π€π€ π€ made by fire: he has a blemish; he will not come near to offer the bread of his ALuah. He will eat the bread of his ALuah, both of the most Qadash, and of the Qadash. Only he will not go in to the vail, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he profane not My sanctuaries: for I π€π€π€ π€ do sanctify them. And Moshah told it to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yashar'al. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:16–24
-
Ministerial Purity: Speak to Aharon and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the Qadash things of the children of Yashar'al, and that they profane not My Qadash Name in those things which they hallow to Me: I am π€π€π€ π€. Say to them, Whoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goes to the Qadash things, which the children of Yashar'al hallow to π€π€π€ π€, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul will be cut off from My presence: I am π€π€π€ π€. What man soever of the seed of Aharon is a leper, or has a running issue; he will not eat of the Qadash things, until he be clean. And whoever touches any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him; Or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he has; The soul which has touched any such will be unclean until evening, and will not eat of the Qadash things, unless he wash his flesh with water. And when the sun is down, he will be clean, and will afterward eat of the Qadash things; because it is his food. That which dies of itself, or is torn with beasts, he will not eat to defile himself with it: I am π€π€π€ π€. They will therefore keep My ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I π€π€π€ π€ do sanctify them. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:1–9
-
Consumption of Qadash Things: There will no stranger eat of the Qadash thing: a sojourner of the Kohan, or an hired servant, will not eat of the Qadash thing. But if the Kohan buy any soul with his money, he will eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they will eat of his meat. If the Kohan's daughter also be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the Qadash things. But if the Kohan's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she will eat of her father's meat: but there will no stranger eat thereof. And if a man eat of the Qadash thing unwittingly, then he will put the fifth part thereof to it, and will give it to the Kohan with the Qadash thing. And they will not profane the Qadash things of the children of Yashar'al, which they offer to π€π€π€ π€; Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their Qadash things: for I π€π€π€ π€ do sanctify them. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:10–16
-
Blemishes in Offerings: Speak to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yashar'al, and say to them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Yashar'al, or of the strangers in Yashar'al, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to π€π€π€ π€ for a burnt offering; You will offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. But whatsoever has a blemish, that will you not offer: for it will not be acceptable for you. And whoever offers a sacrifice of Shalum offerings to π€π€π€ π€ to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it will be perfect to be accepted; there will be no blemish therein. Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, you will not offer these to π€π€π€ π€, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to π€π€π€ π€. Either a bullock or a lamb that has any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that may you offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it will not be accepted. You will not offer to π€π€π€ π€ that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither will you make any offering thereof in your land. Neither from a stranger's hand will you offer the bread of your ALuah of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they will not be accepted for you. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:17–25
-
Sanctification of Sacrifice: And π€π€π€ π€ spoke to Moshah, saying, When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it will be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it will be accepted for an offering made by fire to π€π€π€ π€. And whether it be cow or ewe, you will not kill it and her young both in one day. And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to π€π€π€ π€, offer it at your own will. On the same day it will be eaten up; you will leave none of it until the morrow: I am π€π€π€ π€. Therefore will you keep My commandments, and do them: I am π€π€π€ π€. Neither will you profane My Qadash Name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Yashar'al: I am π€π€π€ π€ which hallow you, That brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your ALuah: I am π€π€π€ π€. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:26–33

The Kohan-Charge: And π€π€π€ π€ said to Aharon, You and your sons and your father's house with you will bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and you and your sons with you will bear the iniquity of your Kohan-office. And your brothers also of the tribe of Lewi, the tribe of your father, bring you with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you will minister before the tabernacle of witness. And they will keep your charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they will not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor you also, die. And they will be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger will not come near to you. And you will keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Yashar'al. And I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Lewiyim from among the children of Yashar'al: to you they are given as a gift for π€π€π€ π€, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. π€π€π€π€π€ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 18:1–6

The Kohan Portion: And π€π€π€ π€ spoke to Aharon, Behold, I also have given you the charge of My heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Yashar'al; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, by an ordinance for ever. This will be yours of the most Qadash things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs which they will render to Me, will be most Qadash for you and for your sons. In the most Qadash place will you eat it; every male will eat it: it will be Qadash to you. And this is yours; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Yashar'al: I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in your house will eat of it. All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they will offer to π€π€π€ π€, them have I given you. And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they will bring to π€π€π€ π€, will be yours; every one that is clean in your house will eat of it. Every thing devoted in Yashar'al will be yours. Every thing that opens the matrix in all flesh, which they bring to π€π€π€ π€, whether it be of men or beasts, will be yours: nevertheless the firstborn of man will you surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts will you redeem. And those that are to be redeemed from a month old will you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you will not redeem; they are Qadash: you will sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and will burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to π€π€π€ π€. And the flesh of them will be yours, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are yours. All the heave offerings of the Qadash things, which the children of Yashar'al offer to π€π€π€ π€, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before π€π€π€ π€ to you and to your seed with you. π€π€π€π€π€ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 18:8–19

The Inheritance of the Lewiyim: And π€π€π€ π€ spoke to Aharon, You will have no inheritance in their land, neither will you have any part among them: I am your part and your inheritance among the children of Yashar'al. And, behold, I have given the children of Lewi all the tenth in Yashar'al for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Neither must the children of Yashar'al henceforth come near the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. But the Lewiyim will do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they will bear their iniquity: it will be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Yashar'al they have no inheritance. But the tithes of the children of Yashar'al, which they offer as an heave offering to π€π€π€ π€, I have given to the Lewiyim to inherit: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Yashar'al they will have no inheritance. π€π€π€π€π€ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 18:20–24

Appointment of Judges: Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes. And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brothers, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. You will not respect persons in judgment; but you will hear the small as well as the great; you will not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is ALuah's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 1:13–17

And he shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fenced walls come down, wherein you trusted, throughout all your land: and he shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has given you. And you shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has given you, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith your enemies shall distress you: So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he has nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith your enemies shall distress you in all your gates. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to place the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, And toward her young one that comes out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith your enemy shall distress you in your gates. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 28:49–57

And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because you would not obey the voice of π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah.

Fearful Heart: And your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear day and night, and shall have none assurance of your life: In the morning you shall say, Would ALuah it were even! and at even you shall say, Would ALuah it were morning! for the fear of your heart wherewith you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 28:66–67

The Ships of Mitsrayim: And π€π€π€ π€ shall bring you into Mitsrayim (Egypt) again with ships, by the way whereof I spoke unto you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 28:68

The Desolation as a Proverb: So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which π€π€π€ π€ has laid upon it; And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which π€π€π€ π€ overthrew in His anger, and in His wrath: Even all nations shall say, Wherefore has π€π€π€ π€ done thus unto this land? what means the heat of this great anger? Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of π€π€π€ π€ ALuah of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them forth out of the land of Mitsrayim: For they went and served other mighty ones, and worshipped them, mighty ones whom they knew not, and whom He had not given unto them: And the anger of π€π€π€ π€ was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: And π€π€π€ π€ rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 29:22–28
The Land & Its Shabbat
The land itself is part of the Covenant. It is not a possession to be exploited, but a gift that must be given its rest, as the people must rest.

The Seventh Year Rest: Speak unto the children of Yashar'al, and say unto them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Shabbat unto π€π€π€ π€. Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; But in the seventh year shall be a Shabbat of rest unto the land, a Shabbat for π€π€π€ π€: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:2–4

The Yobal (Jubilee) Year: And you shall number seven Shabbats of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Shabbats of years shall be unto you forty and nine years. Then shall you cause the trumpet of the Yobal to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a Yobal unto you; and you shall return every man unto his possession, and you shall return every man unto his family. A Yobal shall that fiftieth year be unto you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vineyard undressed. For it is the Yobal; it shall be Qadash unto you: you shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:8–12

The Provision for the Rest: Wherefore you shall do My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: Then I will command My Barakah upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in you shall eat of the old store. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:18–22

The Walk in Barakah: If you walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish My covenant with you. And you shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. And I will place My tabernacle among you: and My soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your ALuah, and you shall be My people. I am π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, which brought you forth out of the land of Mitsrayim, that you should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:3–13

Warnings Against Disobedience: But if you will not listen unto Me, and will not do all these commandments; And if you shall despise My statutes, or if your soul abhor My judgments, so that you will not do all My commandments, but that you break My covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And I will place My face against you, and you shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you. And if you will not yet for all this listen unto Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. And if you walk contrary unto Me, and will not listen unto Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate. And if you will not be reformed by Me by these things, but will walk contrary unto Me; Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of My covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied. And if you will not for all this listen unto Me, but walk contrary unto Me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and My soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:14–31

Desolation of the Land: And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her Shabbats, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her Shabbats. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:32–34

Scattering and Longing: As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your Shabbats, when you dwelt upon it. And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursues. And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. And you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:35–39

The Confession of Iniquity: If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have walked contrary unto Me; And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her Shabbats, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised My judgments, and because their soul abhorred My statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them: for I am π€π€π€ π€ their ALuah. But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Mitsrayim in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their ALuah: I am π€π€π€ π€. π€ π€π€π€π€ (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:40–45

The Promise of Gathering: And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon you, the Barakah and the curse, which I have place before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations, whither π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has driven you, And shall return unto π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, and shall obey His voice according to all that I command you this day, you and your children, with all your heart, and with all your soul; That then π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah will turn your captivity, and have compassion upon you, and will return and gather you from all the nations, whither π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah has scattered you. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 30:1–3

Restoration and Prosperity: And π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah will put all these curses upon your enemies, and on them that hate you, which persecuted you.

And π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah will make you plenteous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, for good: for π€π€π€ π€ will again rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers: If you shall listen unto the voice of π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the Torah, and if you turn unto π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah with all your heart, and with all your soul. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 30:8–10

The Choice of Life: For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very near unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have place before you this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command you this day to love π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply: and π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah shall Barak you in the land whither you go to possess it. But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other mighty ones, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that you shall surely perish, and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither you pass over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have place before you life and death, Barakah and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live: That you may love π€π€π€ π€ your ALuah, and that you may obey His voice, and that you may cleave unto Him: for He is your life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land which π€π€π€ π€ swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. π€π€π€π€π€ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 30:11–20
