In this week’s Parashah Point on Beshalach, we take a brief look at the importance of singing throughout Scripture. Singing was used to bring honor and glory and praise to the Creator and sometimes they may also memorialize certain events. The Song of Moses found in Exodus 15 in one such song.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Beshalach, we read of Israel’s salvation from slavery in Egypt. As we look at Exodus 14:30-31 we see how being saved through the Father’s great power taught Israel to believe in Him and the one He sent, Moses, so they did not perish. In fact, we will see the echoes of Exodus even into the New Testament.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion named, Mishpatim, we look at the commandment in Exodus 23:4-5 about helping our neighbor, even if that neighbor is an enemy or someone we hate. We see how we cannot be ruled by our emotions because sometimes our emotions may actually cause us to break the Torah.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the portion named Yitro, we see the Creator begin to outline His covenant with Israel and Israel accepting it in Exodus 19:7-8. This covenant is not unlike a marriage covenant and ceremony where promises or vows are made by both sides. Take a look at our how obedience to His Word helps fulfill our part of the marriage.
In this week’s Parashah Point on the Torah Portion, Pekudei, we see how God’s dwelling place on Earth has changed throughout history. In Exodus 40:34 we see it’s beginning in the tabernacle when His glory filled the tent of meeting. Over time, God’s dwelling place continues to increase.
