Verse of the Day

Shamu'al Aleph 15:22–23 (1 Samuel)

And Shamu'al said: "Does Yahuah delight in ascending offerings and slaughtered offerings as much as in Shama the voice of Yahuah? Look, Shama is better than a slaughtered offering, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. For rebellion is like the wrongdoing of divination, and stubbornness is like ʿAwun and household images. Because you have rejected the Dabar of Yahuah, He has rejected you from being Malak."
