Verse of the Day

Dabarim 5:29–33 (Deuteronomy)

Oh, that there were such a Labab in them, that they would Yara Me and guard all My Mitswuth all the days, so that it might be Tub with them and with their children for ʿUlam. Go, say to them, "Return to your tents." But you, stand here with Me, and I will speak to you all the Mitswah, the Khukim, and the Mishpatim that you shall teach them, so that they may ʿAsah them in the land that I am giving them to possess. Therefore you shall guard to ʿAsah as Yahuah your Alahym commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right or to the left. In all the Darak that Yahuah your Alahym has commanded you, you shall Halak, so that you may live, that it may be Tub with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land you shall possess.
