English translation: Blessed are You, YHVH our Elohim, King of the universe, who has made
us set apart through His commandments and commanded us to actively study Torah.
Please YHVH, our Elohim, sweeten the words of Your Torah in our mouths and in
the mouths of all Your people Israel. May we and our offspring, and the
offspring of Your people, the House of Israel, may we all, together, know Your
Name and study Your Torah for the sake of fulfilling Your desire. Blessed are
You, YHVH, Who teaches Torah to His people Israel. Blessed are You, YHVH our
Elohim, King of the universe, , Who chose us from all the nations and gave us
the Torah. Blessed are You, YHVH, Giver of the Torah.
Num 9:22 Whether two days, or a month, or a year that
the cloud lingered above the Dwelling Place to dwell upon it, the children of
Yisra’ĕl camped, and did not depart. But when it was taken up, they departed.
Num 9:23 At the command of יהוה they camped,
and at the command of יהוה they departed.
They guarded the Charge of יהוה, at the
command of יהוה by the hand of Mosheh.
We see once again in the above two verses that Yisrael
can only move forward when they OBEY YHVH’s command by the hand of Moshe.
כג עַל-פִּי יְהוָה יַחֲנוּ,
וְעַל-
פִּי יְהוָה יִסָּעוּ: אֶת-מִשְׁמֶרֶת יְהוָה שָׁמָרוּ,
עַל-פִּי
יְהוָה בְּיַד-מֹשֶׁה. {פ}

23 At the commandment of YHVH they encamped,(chanah)
and at the commandment of YHVH they
journeyed;(nasah)
they kept the charge of YHVH, at the commandment of
YHVH by
the hand of Moshe. {P} |
