Ekev (Because) D’Varim (Deut.) 7:12-11:25

Torah Portion: Ekev (Because)D’Varim(Deut.) 7:12-11:25

Haftorah Reading: Isaiah 49:14-51:3

Today I want us to look at Deut. 11:7. This verse reads, “Because your eyes are the ones seeing all the great works of the L-rd that He has done.” In the first nine verses of chapter 11 Moshe was speaking directly to the current generation of the children of Israel. They were the ones about to cross over the Jordan to enter the land of Israel. Earlier he had stressed to the people how important it was that they follow  G-d’s word, His commandments as they crossed the Jordan.
