ZoreaYahu
Verse of the Day

Tahilliym 19:7–11 (Psalms)

The Turah of Yahuah is complete, restoring the Naphash. The ʿAduth of Yahuah is firm, making the simple wise. The Piqudim of Yahuah are straight, causing the Lab to rejoice. The Mitswah of Yahuah is pure, giving Aur to the eyes. The Yirah of Yahuah is clean, standing for ʿUlam. The Mishpatim of Yahuah are Amat. They are Tsadaq altogether. They are more desirable than gold, even much refined gold, and sweeter than honey and the dripping of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned. In guarding them there is great reward.
