The question is "why?" Why did Mosheh have to do the work? The answer is found in the Hebrew language and is giving us a message in how we as the people of Hashem need to repent, and do the works of repentance, and return back to Him after we have been defiled by a "Golden Calf," so to speak. Ro'eh Richard dives deep into this portion to show some amazing truths that we need to be applying in our lives each day. We are to circumcise our hearts, improve our ways, purify our hearts, and so on. There is work to be done people of Israel, so lets hew the tablets of stone in our hearts!Please join us each week as we share the gems of Torah.Pastor Richard CortesThe Foundation of The Word Outreach Ministrieswww.thefotw.orgAaronic Priestly Blessing performed by Rico Cortes of Wisdom In Torah Ministries https://wisdomintorah.com and used by permission.
