Last week should have been a double, so here is the second one. Sorry.
Name of Par’shah- 46.3 Ekev- Because
Par’shah- Deuteronomy 7:12 – 11:25
D’rash:
Deuteronomy 7:16a (ESV) And you shall consume all the peoples that the Lord your God will give over to you. Your eye shall not pity them, neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you. Too often, when we should be pressing our witness home, we feel pity for the persons discomfort. We care more about not hurting their feelings, and so quench the work of the Spirit. So I am listing this as a commandment for us.
Deuteronomy 7:16b (ESV) neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you. Another oft repeated commandment. We serve El Elohe Yisroel, and Him alone!
Deuteronomy 7:25a (ESV) The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. Destroy all items of pagan worship.
Deuteronomy 7:25b (ESV) You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God. Do not desire to profit from the iddols, or the materials from which they are made.
Deuteronomy 7:26 (ESV) And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction. We should loath idols, and never bring one into our homes which are dedicated to God.
Deuteronomy 8:10 (ESV) And you shall eat and be full, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. Bless the Lord after we’ve eaten. It is easy to remember to be grateful before we eat. Afterwards when we are sated it is easy to forget. And note that it is not only the food we are to be grateful for, but everything He has given us. This is evidenced by the rest of this passage: “Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you today, lest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, who led you through the great and terrifying wilderness, … who brought you water out of the flinty rock, who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ You shall remember the Lord your God,
Deuteronomy 10:19 (ESV) Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. Show love to foreigners.
Deuteronomy 10:20a (ESV) You shall fear the Lord your God. Show reverence and respect to God.
Deuteronomy 10:20b (ESV) You shall serve him and hold fast to him, We serve God and hold to Him and to His ways and to His people.
Deuteronomy 10:20c (ESV) and by his name you shall swear. When it becomes necessary to swear, as when testifying before a court, we swear only in His Name.
