Yesheyahu 6:1-7:6, 9:6-7
In the year that King Uzziyahu died, I saw YHWH sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Hěḵal.
Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
And one cried to another and said, “Set-apart, set-apart, set-apart is YHWH of hosts; all the earth is filled with His esteem!”
And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
And I said, “Woe to me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips – for my eyes have seen the King, YHWH of hosts.”
And one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
And he touched my mouth with it, and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your crookedness is taken away, and your sin is covered.”
And I heard the voice of YHWH, saying, “Whom do I send, and who would go for Us?” And I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
And He said, “Go, and you shall say to this people, ‘Hearing, you hear, but do not understand; and seeing, you see, but do not know.’
“Make the heart of this people fat, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and shall turn and be healed.”
Then I said, “YHWH, until when?” And He answered, “Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land is laid waste, a ruin, and YHWH has removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.
“But still, there is a tenth part in it, and it shall again be for a burning, like a terebinth tree and like an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down. The set-apart seed is its stump!”
And it came to be in the days of Aḥaz son of Yotham, son of Uzziyahu, king of Yehuḏah, that Retsin king of Aram and Peqaḥ son of Remalyahu, king of Yisra’ěl, went up to Yerushalayim to fight against it, but could not prevail against it.
And it was reported to the house of Dawiḏ, saying, “Aram has set up camp in Ephrayim.” And his heart and the heart of his people were moved as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind.
And YHWH said to Yeshayahu, “Go out now to meet Aḥaz, you and She’ar-Yashuḇ your son, at the end of the channel of the upper pool, on the highway of the Launderer’s Field, and say to him, ‘Take heed, and be calm; do not fear or be faint-hearted for these two stubs of smoking firebrands, for the fierce displeasure of Retsin and Aram, and the son of Remalyahu.
Because Aram, Ephrayim, and the son of Remalyahu have plotted evil against you, saying, “Let us go up against Yehuḏah and tear it apart, and break it open for ourselves, and set a king over them, the son of Taḇe’ěl.”
For a Child is born unto us, a Son is given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counsellor, Strong Ěl, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His rule and peace there is no end, upon the throne of Dawiḏ and over His kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with judgment and with righteousness from now on, even forever. The zeal of YHWH of hosts does this.

17 Yithro – Day 7
Sh’moth 20:18-26
And all the people saw the thunders, the lightning flashes, the voice of the shophar, and the mountain smoking. And the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance, and said to Mosheh, “You speak with us and we hear, but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.”
And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not fear, for Elohim has come to prove you, and in order that His fear be before you, so that you do not sin.”
So the people stood at a distance, but Mosheh drew near the thick darkness where Elohim was.
And YHWH said to Mosheh, “Say this to the children of Yisra’ěl: ‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from the heavens.
‘You do not make besides Me mighty ones of silver, and you do not make mighty ones of gold for yourselves.
‘Make an altar of earth for Me, and you shall slaughter on it your ascending offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I shall come to you and bless you.
‘And if you make Me an altar of stone, do not build it of cut stone, for if you use your chisel on it, you have profaned it.
‘Nor do you go up by steps to My altar, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’

Tehillah 92 – Day 7 (ShabbatH)
It is excellent to give thanks to YHWH, And to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High; To declare Your mercy in the morning, And Your trustworthiness each night, On ten strings, and on the harp, To the sounding chords of the lyre.
For You have made me rejoice with Your work, O YHWH, I shout for joy at the works of Your hands.
O YHWH, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep!
A senseless man does not know, And a fool does not understand this.
When the wrong spring up like grass, And all the workers of wickedness blossom, It is for them to be destroyed forever.
But You, YHWH, are on high forever.
For look, Your enemies, O YHWH, For look, Your enemies do perish; All the workers of wickedness are scattered.
But You lift up my horn like a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.
And my eye looks upon my enemies; My ears hear the evil-doers Who rise up against me.
The righteous one flourishes like a palm tree, He grows like a cedar in Leḇanon.
Those who are planted in the House of YHWH Flourish in the courts of our Elohim.
They still bear fruit in old age; They are fresh and green, To declare that YHWH is straight, My rock, and in Him is no unrighteousness.

Gravity is just a theory. If the same pressure held down a truck as it would a person then we'd get squished. Helium is lighter than air so it floats above oxygen. Trucks are heavier than air and much heavier than people. It requires more energy to lift a truck into the air with momentum than it would a human. Why? Because humans are lighter then trucks, but heavier than air and that's also how we stay on the planet. And that's also why the weight of the ocean will eventually weigh down on you and crush you. Water is heavier than air, but can also become lighter than air by becoming a gas. Go Creation go! HalleluYah!
