Proverbs 30:1
ESV - The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle. The man declares, I am weary, O God; I am weary, O God, and worn out.
KJV - The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal.
This verse is a great illustration of some of the difficulties in translating the Bible. Should this word/phrase be translated literally or is it someone's name? Since Hebrew names were always derived from real words, it can be hard to tell.
Something I brought up with my in-person Bible study group, that I feel I should promote here with my online Bible study group (and I'll try to phrase it much the same way).
Without commenting: How many watch videos by 119 Ministries or TorahFamily (I am sure there are others, but these two I know for sure)?
What is the challenge they say at the end of each video? Test what they are saying. Go back and look at Scripture, don't just take their word for it.
Without commenting: How many of you do that?
If you aren't checking and testing the people that do tell you to verify them, are you testing and checking the people that don't tell you?
We need to validate everything that we hear with Scripture. There are many people out there that can tell a good story, make things sound like it is possible, say things with confidence, but couldn't be further from the truth.
Recently, I found myself being one of those people. We were playing a family game and I gave an answer to a question. I explained my reasoning. My family tells me once we find out I am wrong, that I said it with such confidence, they questioned their answers. I didn't realize I was doing this, but it is now something I have to watch for.
We should always be on the look out and check everything. Don't just take something on because it sounds good, or is presented by someone "smarter than you", or has a degree, or whatever.
This week's Torah reading is Tzav ("Command", #leviticus 6:8-8:36). Here are some related New Testament passages, articles, and videos.

Women’s Portion for Today: Monday March 25
Help your child in their faith. All they need is a believing heart. YHVH will lead them – that is why they must concentrate more on their love for Him than their fear of failure. (Prayer: Father, thank You that Your Love in our lives is steadfast. You are our first love. Amein)
