A man shall not take his father's wife, so that he does not uncover his father's *kanaf*.
#deuteronomy 22:30
The ESV translates kanaf as "nakedness", but I think that's way off. The word refers to the hem of his garment. It is a sexual euphemism, but it's much more than that. It's also an allusion to the authority and responsibility (aka "covering") of a man over his wife and children. His wife isn't his covering; he is hers.
It's not an accident that rules about a father's responsibility for his daughter's behavior follow the command to tie tzitziyot to the hem of his garment.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes, and it's okay to feel emotionally or spiritually drained. We all experience moments of doubt, exhaustion, or even despair, wondering if it's worth pushing forward. Some may face depression or feel like they’re on the verge of a breakdown, just like Elijah in 1 Kings 19:4, when he felt so low he wanted to give up.
But here’s the truth: feeling this way doesn’t make us weak, it makes us human. What matters most is how we respond. The story of Elijah reminds us that God sees us in our struggles. He gave Elijah what he needed for rest, recovery, and strength for the next part of his journey—and He can do the same for us. Whether it’s a safe space, a supportive friend, or peace for our hearts, God provides what we need to move forward. You're not alone in this.
Zechariah 14 is a big reason why I think the impression that the end times is about the judgement of Israel is backwards. It's true that half of Jerusalem is allowed to be taken, but God steps in and goes to war with the nations that did it.
Remember in Romans we are told that this current time was one or favor towards the gentiles SO THAT Israel could in turn receive their fullness as well.
“For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;”
Romans 11:25-26 NKJV
The end times are a steady drum beat towards the Day of Yahuwah. Which is a final battle with the enemies of God who also hate Israel.

“For God will save Zion And build the cities of Judah, That they may dwell there and possess it. Also, the descendants of His servants shall inherit it, And those who love His name shall dwell in it.”
Psalms 69:35-36 NKJV
A #chiasm in #deuteronomy 22:13-29 equates betrothal with marriage. In God's eyes, it is just as bad to violate a betrothal as it is to violate a consummated marriage. Both cases are adultery. A betrothed girl has more legal protection in #torah than does an unbetrothed girl. Fathers do well to keep this in mind.

A friend at Bible study brought out this thought, too:
If Yeshua/Jesus is saying to the Pharisees that "unwashed hands aren't a big deal", but then turns around to the disciples and says "oh by the way, it doesn't matter what you eat", that would be Him sinning AND would give the Pharisees the proof they were trying to get on Him all through the Gospels that He was a sinner.
We even see with Peter in Acts 10, many years after this event, telling God that he NEVER has eating anything unclean. If Yeshua was telling the disciples "it doesn't matter what you eat", then why would Peter for so long still not eat things that aren't Biblically considered food?
An argument I have heard before is: He's God, He can change what He wants.
Something I've asked in other comics: If God can change what sin is, how do we know He won't change it again?
