Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Ekev

Parsha 46

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25 it is called Ekev which means “if you follow,” Moses tells the Israelites that if they obeyed God’s rules, God would truly maintain the covenant. The Israelites were to destroy all the peoples whom God delivered to them, showing no pity and not worshiping their gods. They were to burn all idols and not to keep anything. God recalls the lessons he taught the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years. Miraculously their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell for 40 years. God disciplined them as a man disciplines his son. Moses warned the Israelites that they were to dispossess nations greater than they, but God would go before them as a devouring fire to drive out the land’s inhabitants. God had not enabled them to possess the land because of their virtue, but God was dispossessing the land’s current inhabitants because of those nations’ wickedness and was fulfill the oath that God had made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses then reminded them about the incident with the golden calf and retells the story. Moses reminded the Israelites how they provoked God. Moses had to lay prostrate before God for 40 days, because God was determined to destroy the Israelites. Moses recalls the two tablets and the Ark of the Covenant, the death of Aaron And the promotion of Eleazar Moses described God as supreme, great, mighty, and awesome, showing no favor and taking no bribe, but upholding the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and befriending the stranger. Moses then says the Shema and instructs in the binding of scripture to their hands and forheads which is known today as taffilin. Also posted at the door is the mezuzah. And that is Ekev in 60 seconds.

Parsha 45

Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Deuteronomy 3:23–7:11 it is called Va’etchanan which means “and I pleaded,” Moses pleaded with God to let him cross over and see the other side of the Jordan River. God says no and don’t bring it up again. Moses climbs the summit of Pisgah and looks at the land. Moses instructs Joshua to be strong and courageous as he leads the people. Moses tells the Israelites to listen God’s laws, not to add or subtract anything to them. Moses argues that observing the laws faithfully would show the Israelites’ wisdom and discernment and that God is greater than all other nations’ gods. Moses urged the Israelites to not forget the Law, and to make them known to their children and children’s children. God then gives the law of the land. Moses warned them against idolatry and if they failed God would scatter them among the peoples, leaving only a scant few alive. If the Israelites follow God during exile God would bring them back. Moses then preaches about the greatness of God and proves that there are no other gods besides God. Moses then establishes the cities of refuge and gives out the rulebook. Moses then gives another reminder of the law and how it was given by God on mount Horeb and that the covenant was made with each individual and not their fathers. Moses then recalls the 10 commandments and how God inscribed them on two stone tablets, which God gave to Moses. Once again Moses reminds the Israelites to worship only God and to keep the passover. Moses tells the Israelites that God will bring them to the land and will dislodged seven nations before them — the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites We conclude with one final reminder that God is God. And that is Va’etchanan in 60 seconds.

Parsha in 60 Seconds Presents Devarim Shalom and welcome to the Parsha in 60 seconds Today’s portion is from Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22 it is called Devarim We have now concluded the book Numbers and we must venture into Deuteronomy. 40 years have passed since the Exodus and Moses is giving a big speech. Moses appoints a hierarchy leadership system. The Israelites plan on taking the land and send 12 spies, find giant fruit and giant warriors. Israelites hide in their tents out of fear. God throws down with the Israelites and now nobody except Caleb and Joshua will possess the land. Wandering begins and end when the sinful generation dies. the Israelites met plenty of people along the way. God tells them not to provoke these people or take their land with exception to Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon. While passing through Heshbon peacefully God hardened Sihon’s heart and he attacked and FAILED. King Og head the news and came to fight in Bashan and FAILED. Og was so big that is bedstead was nine cubits long and four cubits wide. The land is then given to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. These tribes were commanded to continue fighting until all the kingdoms west of the Jordan were taken down by God. And that is Devarim in 60 seconds.
