Welcome to the Torah PortionĀ Nitzavim/Vayelech. In this post, we will cover the weekly Torah portion and weekly Haftarah portion from a cultural perspective. There is also an Echoes Through Scripture teaching which takes a theme from the Torah portion and connects it throughout the rest of the Hebrew Bible and into the Apostolic Scriptures.
You are standing today, all of you, before YHWH your God: the heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, your little ones, your wives, and the sojourner who is in your camp, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, so that you may enter into the sworn covenant of YHWH your God, which YHWH your God is making with you today, that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he promised you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. It is not with you alone that I am making this sworn covenant, but with whoever is standing here with us today before YHWH our God, and with whoever is not here with us today.

Great teaching!!! You gave us a “heads up” on the “editorial comments” that are added to the original text. Isn’t this another reason why we need to learn Hebrew? Because when you read Deuteronomy 29:28 in the Hebrew, the added comment isn’t there.
See you at Sukkot!!!!
I listened again this year and still gained much from this teaching!!!!
Shabbat Shalom!!!
I believe we are in Exile today!
