Hear O Israel

Image
First of the commandments, the most important, one that stands out among all the rest, a scribe seeks an answer. Hear O Israel, the response flows with ease from the mouth of the chosen. Hear O Israel, love the Lord your God with every fiber of you being. And the second, there are two, which shape the answer sought. Hear O Israel, love your neighbor as you love yourself. Do these things and you will not be far from the kingdom you seek. copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Love Your Lord (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)

Image
Oh Isreal, love your Lord. Bind His words to the flesh of your hand. Cast your eyes on them. Seal them in your heart. Proclaim this commandment to your children. When you sit, when you walk, when you lie down, when you rise, take these words to your heart. Love your Lord. And Isreal, do not hate your neighbor in your heart. Treat him, as you would wish him to treat you. Hold no grudge. Seek no vengeance. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Oh Isreal, do not test the one sent. Do not gather against him as scholars thinking the answers are for you, when in truth they are His. For what you have read points to this day, if you but listen to the prophets and understand the law. copyright 2023 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
