Verse of the Day

Dabarim 9:16–18 (Deuteronomy)

And I looked, and see, you had Khata against Yahuah your Alahym. You had made for yourselves a cast calf. You had quickly turned aside from the Darak that Yahuah commanded you. And I seized the two tablets and threw them from my two hands and shattered them before your eyes. Then I fell before Yahuah as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I ate no bread and drank no water because of all your Khata that you committed by ʿAsah Raʿ in the eyes of Yahuah, provoking Him.
