The Blessing Arrives Before the Words Are Even Spoken From the well in Aram Naharayim to the B'nai Brith youth convention — just as Eliezer was answered before he finished speaking, so too Rabbi Feller witnessed miracles in his shlichus.(Parshat Chayei Sarah)

Episode Notes Eliezer was sent to find a wife for Isaac, but finding Rebecca would be an impossible mission. It would require not only miraculous signs, but a miraculous work upon the heart of Rebecca and her family. It was miraculous, yet fragile. What if Eliezer didn't rely on God? What if Rebecca didn't leave her family? What if her family didn't release her? What if Isaac didn't receive her? Can God's calling for us become compromised by the disobedience of others? In this teaching… • How could Eliezer possibly be expected to find the wife of another? • How God gives signs from heaven, and when to trust them? • What if we are yielded to God, but people around us aren't? Can this ruin God's plans for us? • How Rebecca is still awaiting Isaac today, prophetically. And more!

Parshas Chayei Sarah: Courage To Begin In tribute to the fifth Yahrzeit of HaRav Ya'akov Tzvi Ben Dovid Sacks, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. Our Parsha begins with loss, love, and a new beginning. Avraham buries Sarah with dignity, then sends Eliezer to find a partner for Yitzchak. Rivkah's kindness at the well reveals her greatness, and when she enters Sarah's tent, the miracles of the first Jewish home return. Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, shows that Avraham's life ends with peace not because he finished the mission, but because he began it with courage. True fulfillment comes from taking the first step, trusting that G-d will complete what we start. In honor of Eretz Yisroel – May G-d protect our brave soldiers, comfort all who grieve, and bring healing to our nation. Dedicated in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia.

In Parshas Chayei Sarah we discuss the topic of Chevron and the burying of Sarah. What did this loss mean for Avraham? How did he get up from his loss and move forward? We also discuss Eliezer's mission to find a wife for Yitzchak, the specifics of how this mission is described in the Torah, and what we learn from those words today.

JAYE SARA 5786- COMO ELIEZER PUDO SER SHALIAJ DE KIDUSHIN.m4a by Rab Shlomo Benhamu

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshat Chayei Sarah (Genesis 23–25), beginning with Sarah's lifespan—“100 years and 20 years and 7 years”—which Rashi interprets as her retaining the innocence of a 20-year-old at age 100 and the beauty of a 7-year-old at age 20. The parsha immediately transitions from her passing to Abraham sending Eliezer to find a wife for Isaac, teaching that marriage must be built with the end in mind: not just someone to live with, but someone to die with, focused on long-term purpose and legacy. Abraham, the icon of chesed (kindness), seeks a wife embodying kindness to balance Isaac's natural gevurah (sternness) inherited from Sarah. Rabbi Wolbe stresses that the patriarchs' actions are binding signs for us: prioritize good character over fleeting glamour, as external beauty fades but inner goodness endures.Rabbi Wolbe contrasts superficial “falling in love” (external attraction) with Torah-based matchmaking, where intellect precedes emotion—investigating character through references, teachers, and friends before ever meeting. True love (ahava) stems from hav (to give); the more one gives selflessly, the deeper the love grows. He urges couples to be givers, not takers, and to humble themselves like dust (lakol tia) to honor each other's perspectives, creating a new unified “us” from two distinct individuals. The parsha's repeated narrative emphasizes looking beyond surface miracles to inner essence—Rebecca's proactive kindness to Eliezer and his camels proves her character. Marriage is Hashem's tool for perfection: spouses challenge and elevate each other, building a unique harmony. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes, including his son traveling from Lakewood to Montreal to pursue his future wife, reinforcing that men must actively seek and invest effort. He closes with stories illustrating commitment for children's sake and the Mishnah's advice to marry young to avoid entrenched selfishness._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on November 11, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 13, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

This week, I will share a wonderful surprise with you. That is, according to the Rambam, Eliezer, the servant of Avraham, made a mistake. He was right that God runs the world. But he misunderstood how we, as God's independent creations, need to act in that world. In fact, Eliezer was like a gambler, who flips a coin and wins big. The outcome doesn't prove his method was wise, only that he was lucky. And that contains a central lesson for us, for how we think of Jewish faith in God, and for how we make our decisions.

Chayei Sarah: Why People Who Want Credit Lose In Life | STUMP THE RABBI (250) https://youtu.be/2zE3UWGBW70The typical person wants to do good, and if they are a religious Jewish they may even look for opportunities to do good. After all the good Avraham Avinu did, we see that in parashat Chayei Sarah, Avraham does not want any credit for all the good he's done. He doesn't want a free cave, nor does he expect his servant Eliezer to just obey him without making a vow. But why? It's not hard to find someone claiming for credit for some good that was done, yet our forefather Avraham is trying to teach us otherwise. Why is this such a valuable lesson, that HaShem put it right in front of our face to read and learn each year? This and much more will be answered, followed by the questions and answers from the live online audience.

And there must be a union of Torah and mitzvos etc. The descent of the soul (Ma”h) into the body (Ba”n) represents the union of Ma”h and Ba”n etc.Excerpt from sichah of Monday night, parashas Chayei Sarah, 20 MarCheshvan 5742 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-11-2025 לזכות מרת מנוחה רחל בת פרומה רבקה שתחי' ליום ההולדת שלה כ"א מרחשוןולזכות ילדי'ה שמואל, מנחם מענדל ושלום דובער שיחיו מאיעסקילהצלחה וברכה בגו"ר בכל מכל כל

Avraham and Sarah as body and soul; "listen to Sarah" means refining the body, the ultimate purpose. Eliezer's miraculous journey teaches us about the nature of redemption from exile. The double telling of Eliezer's journey highlights marriage's sanctity when founded on Torah and mitzvos. What Avraham used his circumcision for an oath. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Lech Lecha in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

(2) On the verse, “Avraham was old, advanced in days,” the Zohar states that all his days were filled with Torah and mitzvos. The lesson is that not a single moment of the day should be left unused for Torah and mitzvos. (3) “Avraham was old”: The Sages teach that “An ‘elder' is one who has acquired wisdom”; the wisdom one learns must become his own acquisition, “blood and flesh like his flesh.” (4) Eliezer's mission of making the shidduch between Yitzchok and Rivkah represents the general theme underlying all mitzvos: the union of Ma”h and Ba”n, of soul and body, of the intent of the mitzvah and the act of the mitzvah.Excerpt from sichah of Sunday night, parashas Chayei Sarah, 20 MarCheshvan 5746 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-11-2025

Some of the highlights of this week's parsha: Immediately after the Binding of Isaac, Sarah passed away at the age of 127, and soon afterward Abraham had to procure a burial spot for her. In addition, Abraham sent his trusted confidante, Eliezer, to his hometown to find a spouse for Isaac. – – – – […]

This is a link post. Eliezer Yudkowsky did not exactly suggest that you should eat bear fat covered with honey and sprinkled with salt flakes. What he actually said was that an alien, looking from the outside at evolution, would predict that you would want to eat bear fat covered with honey and sprinkled with salt flakes. Still, I decided to buy a jar of bear fat online, and make a treat for the people at Inkhaven. It was surprisingly good. My post discusses how that happened, and a bit about the implications for Eliezer's thesis. Let me know if you want to try some; I can prepare some for you if you happen to be at Lighthaven before we run out of bear fat, and before I leave toward the end of November. --- First published: November 4th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/2pKiXR6X7wdt8eFX5/i-ate-bear-fat-with-honey-and-salt-flakes-to-prove-a-point Linkpost URL:https://signoregalilei.com/2025/11/03/i-ate-bear-fat-to-prove-a-point/ --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez un sabio Rabí que vivía en una ciudad de piedra dorada por el sol del mediterraneo, donde las sinagogas cantaban al amanecer y los muros guardaban siglos de plegarias, Este rabi llamado Eliezer era   ya casi centenario. y todos lo conocían por su devoción incansable al estudio de la Ley de dios y por algo extraño. Nunca sonreía.No había día ni noche para él. Solo páginas, letras, silencios y preguntas. Su mesa estaba siempre encendida con una lámpara de aceite, y sobre ella se apilaban volúmenes antiguos, algunos escritos por sus propios maestros, otros por sabios que ya eran polvo.Eliezer no temía a la muerte. Pero tampoco la invitaba. Decía:—Mientras haya un versículo que no comprenda del todo, no puedo partir. Mi destino esta ligado al conocimiento y solo podre pasar a otra vida cuando todo se sepa. Y así, la muerte lo esperaba. Año tras año ella lo miraba pasar por entre los umbrales, a la vuelta de las esquinas, en las historias de otros que habían partido. Pero el rabí seguía leyendo, escribiendo y  preguntando por el conocimiento.Cada tarde, su nieta Miriam, una niña de ocho años con trenzas oscuras y voz dulce, venía a visitarlo. Le traía pan fresco, agua con miel, y a veces flores del jardín. El rabí la recibía con ternura, pero nunca dejaba de leer, ella era el mayor consuelo para su larga vida.—¿Puedo sentarme contigo, abuelo?—Claro, pequeña. Pero no hagas ruido. Las letras escuchan y los libros pueden ofenderse.Miriam lo observaba como se observa a un árbol antiguo: con respeto, con curiosidad, con amor.Una tarde, mientras Miriam recogía flores en el jardín, vio algo que nunca había visto antes: una rosa perfecta, de pétalos rojos como vino, con un perfume que parecía saltar hacia el firmamento. La flor no estaba allí el día anterior. Había brotado sola, en medio de una piedra y eso la hacia más maravillosa.Lo que Miriam no sabía era que la muerte, cansada de esperar, había decidido disfrazarse. Se convirtió en esa rosa, suave, irresistible, y esperó a que la niña la llevara al rabí.—¡Abuelo! —dijo Miriam al entrar—. Hoy te traigo algo especial. Una rosa que huele como el cielo.Eliezer levantó la vista. Sus ojos, cansados pero brillantes, se posaron en la flor. Realmente era un flor extraordinaria, tenía un color rojo como el más oscuro de los rubies y cada una de sus pétalos tenía un terminar de color negro.  La tomó con manos temblorosas, ciertamente su belleza era cautivadora pero su perfume era más atractivo aún, Invitaba a ser experimentado y guardado en la memoria. Así que  la acercó a su rostro lentamente … y aspiró.El perfume lo envolvió. No era solo aroma: era memoria, era descanso, era eternidad. En ese instante, el rabí vio todo lo que había leído, todo lo que había preguntado, todo lo que había amado. Vio a sus maestros, a sus padres, a los versículos que aún no comprendía… y los entendió. Todo el conocimiento que había explorado y había tratado de encontrar estaba allí en un solo segundo. Y todo su cuerpo y su alma se hicieron una . Y finalmente Sonrió. Cerró los ojos. Y se inclinó hacia atrás, como una hoja que cae sin ruido.Miriam no lloró de inmediato. El silencio era tan profundo que parecía sagrado. El aire estaba lleno del perfume de la rosa, que ya no era una flor sino un brillo de eternidad. Los sabios del pueblo dijeron que el rabí había partido en paz, llevado por la belleza, por la inocencia, por el gesto más puro. Y que su alma había ascendido envuelta en letras doradas, como un pergamino que se enrolla hacia el cielo.Dese aquellos dias su nieta Miriam, cada

The Highest Level of Reliance ( Bitachon ) Welcome to our daily thought on Bitachon (Reliance on God), focusing today on a verse from Tehillim (Psalms) Chapter 40: " אשרי הגבר אשר שם ה׳ מבטחו, ולא פנה אל רהבים, ושטי כזב ." "Praiseworthy is the man who has made God his trust, and turned not to the arrogant, nor to the strayers after falsehood." The commentary Tefillot David explains what it means to truly place one's reliance in God ( שם ה׳ מבטחו ): Relying on the Means vs. Relying on the Source There are different levels of bitachon : Lower Level: A person relies on God to save them, but only through natural means . They count on God, but their mental focus is on a tangible item—their business, a specific person, a deal—that God will use to bring the help. This means God is not the item of their reliance; the means are. Higher Level: The praiseworthy person does not focus on the means. They are confident that God will help them directly, without speculating on how it will happen. The verse emphasizes this by stating the praiseworthy man "turned not to the arrogant, nor to the strayers after falsehood." "The Arrogant" ( רהבים ): This refers not necessarily to arrogant people, but to people and things in general that, by acting as if they are the source of power, are arrogant in relation to God. "Falsehood" ( כזב ): This refers to things that are temporary or fleeting—things that don't last. The only thing one can truly rely on is God Himself. Yaakov Avinu's Lesson on Pure Bitachon The Beis HaLevi, commenting on Genesis 28:12, uses this concept to explain a Midrash regarding Yaakov Avinu. Yaakov was contemplating the immense difference between his grandfather Avraham's servant, Eliezer, who traveled to find Rivka (Rebecca) with ten camel-loads of wealth, and his own current situation. He had been stripped of everything by Eliphaz and was traveling with nothing. Initially, Yaakov thought: " אשא עיני אל ההרים, מאין יבוא עזרי ? (I raise my eyes upon the mountains, whence will come my help?)" At first glance, this thought— Where will my help come from? —seems harmless. After all, Yaakov certainly believed help would come from God. However, the Midrash reveals a deeper level of self-demand from Yaakov: Human nature is to rely on God but still get caught up in speculating on the method : Will my uncle bail me out? Will I win the lottery? While believing the help comes from God, the heart is busy generating ideas for how God will deliver. Yaakov realized this was a lower level of bitachon . He elevated his thought to: " עזרי מעם ה׳ עושה שמים וארץ . (My help is from God, Maker of heaven and earth.)" Yaakov demanded a higher level of trust: He must stop giving God suggestions or "ideas" on how to bring about the salvation. His reliance must be direct with "the Boss." This is the essence of the ideal bitachon in Tehillim 40: The praiseworthy person deals directly with God, turning neither to the arrogance of temporary means nor the falsehood of fleeting helpers.

L'histoire de Rabbi Eliezer Agadol by Rav David Touitou

¿Cansado de que el scroll te robe la vida?

Read the full transcript here. Are the existential risks posed by superhuman AI fundamentally different from prior technological threats such as nuclear weapons or pandemics? How do the inherent “alien drives” that emerge from AI training processes complicate our ability to control or align these systems? Can we truly predict the behavior of entities that are “grown” rather than “crafted,” and what does this mean for accountability? To what extent does the analogy between human evolutionary drives and AI training objectives illuminate potential failure modes? How should we conceptualize the difference between superficial helpfulness and deeply embedded, unintended AI motivations? What lessons can we draw from AI hallucinations and deceptive behaviors about the limits of current alignment techniques? How do we assess the danger that AI systems might actively seek to preserve and propagate themselves against human intervention? Is the “death sentence” scenario a realistic prediction or a worst-case thought experiment? How much uncertainty should we tolerate when the stakes involve potential human extinction? Nate Soares is the President of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and the co-author of the book If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies. He has been working in the field for over a decade, after previous experience at Microsoft and Google. Soares is the author of a large body of technical and semi-technical writing on AI alignment, including foundational work on value learning, decision theory, and power-seeking incentives in smarter-than-human AIs.

Timeless Leadership Advice Exodus 18  October 12, 2025 Pastor Tony Felich   ----more---- Exodus 18:1 Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt. [2] Now Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, had taken Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her home, [3] along with her two sons. The name of the one was Gershom (for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land”), [4] and the name of the other, Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”). [5] Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was encamped at the mountain of God. [6] And when he sent word to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her,” [7] Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. And they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent. [8] Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the LORD had delivered them. [9] And Jethro rejoiced for all the good that the LORD had done to Israel, in that he had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians. [10] Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh and has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. [11] Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods, because in this affair they dealt arrogantly with the people.” [12] And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and sacrifices to God; and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law before God. [13] The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening. [14] When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till evening?” [15] And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God; [16] when they have a dispute, they come to me and I decide between one person and another, and I make them know the statutes of God and his laws.” [17] Moses' father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good. [18] You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone. [19] Now obey my voice; I will give you advice, and God be with you! You shall represent the people before God and bring their cases to God, [20] and you shall warn them about the statutes and the laws, and make them know the way in which they must walk and what they must do. [21] Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. [22] And let them judge the people at all times. Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. [23] If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace.” [24] So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. [25] Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. [26] And they judged the people at all times. Any hard case they brought to Moses, but any small matter they decided themselves. [27] Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went away to his own country.      Effective spiritual leadership involves delegation and shared responsibility so that the work of God can be sustained and the people can flourish.           I.  A Wise Counselor (1-12)          II.  The Problem (13-18)         III.  The Solution (19-23)         IV.  The Result (24-27)

1 section- conversation between Reish Lakish and R' Eliezer regarding the halachic dichotomy of our Mishna that the wrong intention allows for the korban's continuum, but renders the owners responsibility unfulfilled

Matthew Week 111   Genesis 2:18 NASB   18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”       Merriam Webster: one that helps; especially: a relatively unskilled worker who assists a skilled worker usually by manual labor.   Ex. The carpenter measured the wall while one of his helpers brought in the tools.       Psalm 10:14 CSB   But you yourself have seen trouble and grief,   observing it in order to take the matter into your hands.   The helpless one entrusts himself to you;   you are a helper of the fatherless.       Exodus 18:4 ESV   4 and the name of the other, Eliezer (for he said, “The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh”)       Deuteronomy 33:29 NASB   “Blessed are you, Israel; Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, The shield of your help, And He who is the sword of your majesty! So your enemies will cringe before you, And you will trample on their high places.”       Matthew 19:10-12 ESV   10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” 11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

Exodus 18:1-121 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian and father-in-law of Moses, heard of everything God had done for Moses and for his people Israel, and how the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt.2 After Moses had sent away his wife Zipporah, his father-in-law Jethro received her 3 and her two sons. One son was named Gershom, for Moses said, “I have become a foreigner in a foreign land”; 4 and the other was named Eliezer, for he said, “My father's God was my helper; he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh.”5 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, together with Moses' sons and wife, came to him in the wilderness, where he was camped near the mountain of God. 6 Jethro had sent word to him, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons.”7 So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. They greeted each other and then went into the tent. 8 Moses told his father-in-law about everything the LORD had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians for Israel's sake and about all the hardships they had met along the way and how the LORD had saved them.9 Jethro was delighted to hear about all the good things the LORD had done for Israel in rescuing them from the hand of the Egyptians. 10 He said, “Praise be to the LORD, who rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and of Pharaoh, and who rescued the people from the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the LORD is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.” 12 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal with Moses' father-in-law in the presence of God.

A beraita quoting a dispute between between R. Eliezer and R. Yehoshua. A comparison between the sin-offering and the guilt-offering, distinguishing between them in several ways, including details about the way blood was applied to the altar, above and below a red line on the altar. With other details being similar to uphold the comparisons.

Sam Harris speaks with Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares about their new book, If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: The Case Against Superintelligent AI. They discuss the alignment problem, ChatGPT and recent advances in AI, the Turing Test, the possibility of AI developing survival instincts, hallucinations and deception in LLMs, why many prominent voices in tech remain skeptical of the dangers of superintelligent AI, the timeline for superintelligence, real-world consequences of current AI systems, the imaginary line between the internet and reality, why Eliezer and Nate believe superintelligent AI would necessarily end humanity, how we might avoid an AI-driven catastrophe, the Fermi paradox, and other topics.

3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. 3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. 3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, 3:24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 3:25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 3:26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, 3:27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, 3:28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, 3:29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, w...

10th Sunday after PentecostScripture Lesson:  Luke 12:32-40

Genesis 15:1-6 - After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will You give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.” And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir.” And He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then He said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” And he believed the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness.
