Verse of the Day

Shamu'al Aleph 2:22–25 (1 Samuel)

And ʿAli was very old, and he heard everything his sons were doing to all Yashar'al and how they lay with the women who served at the entrance of the Tent of Appointment. And he said to them: "Why do you do things like these? For I hear of your Raʿ deeds from all these people. No, my sons, for the report I hear is not good. You cause Yahuah's people to transgress. If an Adam Khata against an Adam, Alahym may judge him. But if an Adam Khata against Yahuah, who shall intercede for him?" But they would not Shama the voice of their father.
