D’VARIYM דְּבָרִ֗ים (The Words) DEUTERONOMY 1:1-3:22

PROPHETS: ISAIAH 1:1-27 | GOSPEL: MATTHEW 24:1-22

TORAH:

This Reading begins with the last book of the Torah, D’variym, meaning The Words. The meaning is fitting as most of the book is recounting a lot of the previous Torah books, basically a reminder of the most important items before mentioned. “³ It was in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, when Moshe spoke to the Children of Isra’el, according to everything that YaHVaH commanded him to them.” D’variym 1:3, (Tanach, Stone Edition, Mesorah Publications). Moshe’s intention here is to remind them of YaH’s Word before they enter into the Promised Land.

PROPHETS:

This Haftarah reading takes us to introduction of Isaiah (Y’sha’yah in Hebrew). It begins with a call to those who have rebelled against YaHVaH. “⁴ Woe! sinful nation, a people weighed down by iniquity, evil offspring, destructive children!”

GOSPEL:

In this Reading, Yeshua tells his talmidim the Temple will be destroyed. They ask when, so he tells them to look for certain signs.
