Verse of the Day

Dabarim 13:1–4 (Deuteronomy)

If a Nabi or a dreamer of dreams rises among you and gives you a sign or wonder, and the sign or wonder comes to pass concerning which he spoke to you, saying, "Let us walk after other alahym whom you have not Yada, and let us ʿAbad them," you shall not Shama the Dabarim of that Nabi or that dreamer of dreams, for Yahuah your Alahym is testing you to Yada whether you Ahab Yahuah your Alahym with all your Labab and all your Naphash. After Yahuah your Alahym you shall Halak. Him you shall Yara. His Mitswuth you shall guard. His voice you shall Shama. Him you shall ʿAbad, and to Him you shall Dabaq.
