THE TORAH
GENESIS
BEREISHIT
The book of Bereishit (also known as Genesis) is the first book of the Torah. It begins with the creation of the world by G-d in six days. After creating the earth, G-d brings forth Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The first humans are quickly banished from the garden after breaking G-d’s commandment and eating from the Tree of Knowledge. The lineage of humanity is established as the book chronicles the descendants of Adam and Eve. The narrative follows the lives of well-known figures such as Cain and Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. The book explores themes of human nature, morality, and faith, as well as the relationship between G-d and humanity. The book ends with the descendants of Abraham settling in Egypt, setting the stage for the following book in the Torah, Exodus.
Chapter 28
Chapter 28 of Genesis Solidifies G-d’s Promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob about the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael)
All ignorant Jew-haters READ please, and be delivered from foolishness and dumbness…
“The Blessing of G-d to Abraham is Conveyed to Jacob by his Father Isaac”
“The Vision of Mount Moriah | The Temple Mount”
So Isaac summoned Jacob and blessed him, he instructed him, and said to him, “Do not take a wife from the Canaanite women.
28:1
And may El Shaddai bless you, make you fruitful and make you numerous, and may you be a congregation of peoples.
28:3
He encountered the place and spent the night there because the sun had set; he took from the stones of the place which he arranged around his head, and lay down in that place.
:11
And he dreamt, and behold! A ladder was set earthward and its top reached heavenward; and behold! angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
:12
And behold! Hashem was standing over him, and He said, “I am Hashem, God of Abraham your father and God of Isaac; the ground upon which you are lying, to you will I give it and to your descendants.
:13
Behold, I am with you; I will guard you wherever you go, and I will return you to this soil; for I will not forsake you until I will have done what I have spoken about you.”
:15
Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely Hashem is present in the place and I did not know!”
:16
And he became frightened and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the abode of God and this is the gate of the heavens!”
:17
1 And Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and he commanded him and said to him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
2 Arise, go to Padan aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, and take yourself from there a wife of the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
3 And may the Almighty God bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and you shall become an assembly of peoples.
4 And may He give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed with you, that you may inherit the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.”
5 And Isaac sent Jacob, and he went to Padan aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebecca, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6 And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan aram, to take himself a wife from there, and that when he blessed him, he commanded him, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.”
7 And Jacob listened to his father and his mother, and he went to Padan aram.
8 And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were displeasing to his father Isaac.
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and he took Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, the sister of Nebaioth, in addition to his other wives as a wife.
10 And Jacob left Beer sheba, and he went to Haran.
11 And he arrived at the place and lodged there because the sun had set, and he took some of the stones of the place and placed [them] at his head, and he lay down in that place.
12 And he dreamed, and behold! a ladder set up on the ground and its top reached to heaven; and behold, angels of God were ascending and descending upon it.
13 And behold, the Lord was standing over him, and He said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac; the land upon which you are lying to you I will give it and to your seed.
14 And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall gain strength westward and eastward and northward and southward; and through you shall be blessed all the families of the earth and through your seed.
15 And behold, I am with you, and I will guard you wherever you go, and I will restore you to this land, for I will not forsake you until I have done what I have spoken concerning you.”
16 And Jacob awakened from his sleep, and he said, “Indeed, the Lord is in this place, and I did not know [it].”
17 And he was frightened, and he said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
18 And Jacob arose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had placed at his head, and he set it up as a monument, and he poured oil on top of it.
19 And he named the place Beth El, but Luz was orignally the name of the city.
20 And Jacob uttered a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and He will guard me on this way, upon which I am going, and He will give me bread to eat and a garment to wear;
21 And if I return in peace to my father’s house, and the Lord will be my God;
22 Then this stone, which I have placed as a monument, shall be a house of God, and everything that You give me, I will surely tithe to You.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
