FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – KY THISSA:

And YHWH came down in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the Name, YHWH. And YHWH passed before him and proclaimed, “YHWH, YHWH, an Ěl compassionate and showing favor, patient, and great in mercy and truth, watching over mercy for thousands, forgiving crookedness and transgression and sin, but by no means leaving unpunished, visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

And Moshe hurried and bowed himself toward the earth, and did obeisance, and said, “If, now, I have found favor in Your eyes, O YHWH, I pray, let YHWH go on in our midst, even though we are a stiff-necked people. And forgive our crookedness and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”

And He said, “See, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I am going to do wonders such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of YHWH. For what I am doing with you is awesome.
