From The Egyptian Museum

There are reasons we are told to always remember Egypt...

The Hebrew I recite is from The Book of Numbers (Book IV of the 5 Books of Moses, also known as The Torah) Chapter 15, and immediately follows the tale of of the man who first violated the divinely mandated Sabbath Freedom by collecting firewood. Until that point nobody had expected anyone to violate the word of God and to purposely enslave themselves on the 7th day, as work is regarded as slavery in Judaism and being freed from Egypt required Trust and Appreciation of Life at least one day a week.

The man was brought to Moses who had no idea what to do about the matter until God instructed him to have the man stoned to death lest his actions cause a race to the bottom as everyone took to working on the Sabbath and thus the entire concept of freedom would be lost.

Thereafter appear the following words, which many Torah abiding Jews say twice daily.

It is these words which I recite as I pan across the unmarked exhibit of cloth on display in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

An exhaustive exploration of this matter can't be for right now but if you have expertise in this field please feel free to share.

Suffice it to say for now that Torah Worship without understanding is little different from superstition. Serious matters deserve serious consideration.

The words accompanying the next video are in English and have been referenced before in a few words I wrote about The Book of Ecclesiastes back when I had only one, very special encourager and subscriber.
