Have a blessed fast, brothers and sisters! #atonement #yomkippur2023
For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
(Heb 9:15 NAS95)

After the golden calf incident, Moses climbed Sinai and fasted again as he wrote the Ten Commandments and then came down the second time on Yom Kippur. So we fast, pray, and reflect on #yomkippur.

On Yom Kippur, we pray for forgiveness and ask God to write his commandments on your heart, so that disobedience becomes as repugnant to us as it is to him.

The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
Ecclesiasticus 26:13

A stone is heavy and sand a burden, but provocation by a fool is heavier than both.
Proverbs 27:3 TLV

A fool's provocation is heavy both to himself because of the self-inflicted damage and to others because of the misfortune they have to endure through no fault of their own.
