Speaker 1: Previously on the chosen people.
Speaker 2: Abram, who's there?
Speaker 3: Abram? You are to go out from your land, leave
Speaker 3: your father's house and your relatives behind, and go to
Speaker 3: the land I will show you.
Speaker 1: Abram didn't know why this god chose him. He wasn't
Speaker 1: a substantial or charismatic man. He wasn't even the greatest
Speaker 1: in his household. How would he accomplish all that had foretold?
Speaker 4: L Elion, The one and only true God there is
Speaker 4: the one who created both the heavens and the earth.
Speaker 3: He has many names.
Speaker 1: But he is one god.
Speaker 4: The God most High is what I call him before you.
Speaker 4: Now this is the God of Abraham, the God who
Speaker 4: has given him favor in his land.
Speaker 2: What is my destiny? It will be my legacy.
Speaker 3: Can you count the stars, Abram?
Speaker 1: Abram shook his head uncertain.
Speaker 3: You cannot, for there are too many. It is impossible.
Speaker 3: It is to be the same with your offspring. The
Speaker 3: great nation I shall make through your air would be
Speaker 3: as innumerable as the stars in the night sky.
Speaker 5: As he prepares to leave a legacy and say farewell,
Speaker 5: we find the heartbeat of a man who dared to dream. Schello,
Speaker 5: my friends, from here in the Holy Land, of Israel,
Speaker 5: Amya l Exstein with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
Speaker 5: and welcome to the Chosen People. Each day we'll hear
Speaker 5: a dramatic story inspired by the Bible, stories filled with
Speaker 5: timeless lessons of faith, love, and the meaning of life.
Speaker 5: Through Israel's story, we find this truth that we are
Speaker 5: all chosen for something great. So let's begin. Abraham, the
Speaker 5: father of nations, stands at the edge of eternity. The
Speaker 5: end of this one man's life leaves us with many
Speaker 5: questions even today. What does it mean to leave a legacy?
Speaker 5: To whom do we pass our hopes and dreams? And
Speaker 5: in the end, what defines a good life? Journey with
Speaker 5: me through this dramatized Bible story inspired by Genesis twenty
Speaker 5: five one to eighteen, and discover profound truths that echo
Speaker 5: through the ages.
Speaker 3: Master Isaac, your father Abraham seeks an audience with you
Speaker 3: straight away.
Speaker 4: Thank you, I will be there shortly.
Speaker 6: It's still strange that these messages do not come from Eliezer,
Speaker 6: isn't it it is?
Speaker 4: I confess the sadness of Elieza's passing still comes over
Speaker 4: me at the strangest times. I've not quite recovered from it.
Speaker 4: I do not think I'll stop feeling his loss for
Speaker 4: quite some time.
Speaker 6: He was a loyal friend to your father, to me,
Speaker 6: and especially to you.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 6: So, what do you suppose your father wants to see
Speaker 6: you about? Surely he means to bless you.
Speaker 1: Isaac wasn't sure what his father wanted to see him about.
Speaker 1: But before he could state as much, Rebecca as he
Speaker 1: knew she always would answered for him.
Speaker 6: How could he not bless you? He's been handing more
Speaker 6: and more of his responsibilities to you. He hardly leaves
Speaker 6: camp at all anymore. And what of sending all of
Speaker 6: Katuras's children away? Removing any potential challengers to your birthright
Speaker 6: is a wise move, as your father declines, Not that
Speaker 6: I would anticipate that a former slave.
Speaker 4: Rebecca Hagar has been re stated as a wife now
Speaker 4: not a slave?
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, a wife and not a slave.
Speaker 4: She has a Hebrew name and is worthy of honor.
Speaker 6: But you know as well as I that she has
Speaker 6: no mind for politics. I'm not sure she would orchestrate
Speaker 6: her children to conspire against you, but I appreciate that
Speaker 6: Abraham is not taking that chance.
Speaker 2: My uncles would try to take our birthright.
Speaker 6: No, they you don't know that. The law does not
Speaker 6: grant them an inheritance. But these things happen. Sending them
Speaker 6: away was very prudent of your father.
Speaker 2: Indeed, grandfather gave them all gifts before they went, even
Speaker 2: Uncle Midian and his sons, which was.
Speaker 4: Very generous and noble of your grandfather.
Speaker 6: Yes, but it's still not an inheritance.
Speaker 4: No, it is not. I should go see my father.
Speaker 4: Then we will no longer remain in mystery.
Speaker 1: Isaac kissed his wife and ruffled his son's head before
Speaker 1: he left their tent. Jacob was always underfoot listening. The
Speaker 1: boy was almost a man now and becoming increasingly clever
Speaker 1: by the day. He was his mother's child in every way,
Speaker 1: quick to act and even quicker to arrive at a
Speaker 1: conclusion between the two of them. Who was all Isaac
Speaker 1: could do to keep up. As he passed through the
Speaker 1: vast caravan to his father's tent, he wondered where Esau
Speaker 1: had run off to lightly out hunting. Isaac's mouth watered
Speaker 1: at the thought. An absent Esau usually meant that a
Speaker 1: warm meal would await him when he arrived home.
Speaker 3: Later.
Speaker 1: Isaac was greeted at the tent entrance by a servant,
Speaker 1: and he saw a physician exit his father's sleeping quarters.
Speaker 1: The man nodded to him solemnly as he departed, but
Speaker 1: said nothing. Isaac's stomach tightened in response. This feeling was
Speaker 1: all too familiar. It was much the same when eliazebagain
Speaker 1: came sick. Isaac tamped down his fears and approached his
Speaker 1: father's sleeping quarters, where he found his father.
Speaker 2: Abed, Oh, my sod, father, No, listen carefully. As you
Speaker 2: can see, I do not have much longer. My time
Speaker 2: amongst you is almost at an end. I would give
Speaker 2: you my blessing now, while I am still a sound mind.
Speaker 4: I would be honored to receive it.
Speaker 2: Father.
Speaker 1: Isaac inhaled sharply as he tried to keep the tears
Speaker 1: from freely falling down his cheeks. He knelt at his
Speaker 1: father's side beside his bedroll and bowed his head as
Speaker 1: his father grasped his shoulder with surprising strength for his
Speaker 1: weakened condition.
Speaker 2: Loved Isaac, may our God bless you and keep you.
Speaker 2: May you walk in His ways all the days of
Speaker 2: your life, and may you be the blessing to all nations,
Speaker 2: as God promised to me. May you inherit the land
Speaker 2: promised to us, and may your descendants be as countless
Speaker 2: as the stars in the sky. May the Lord establish
Speaker 2: his covenant with you and your offspring forever, and may
Speaker 2: his promises be fulfilled through your faithfulness and obedience. My
Speaker 2: dear Isaac, May you be a blessing to generations to come.
Speaker 2: And may our God be your God now and forevermore.
Speaker 1: Isaac was speechless of this beautiful speech, which formerly bound
Speaker 1: him to the precious promise made to his father. He
Speaker 1: swore to do everything in his power to uphold it
Speaker 1: and steward his part of their legacy well. Isaac and
Speaker 1: his father talked and reminisced about all they had seen
Speaker 1: and accomplished in their lives, of Isaac's children and their
Speaker 1: hopes for them, and of Sarah. They spoke, laughed, and
Speaker 1: cried until Abraham grew weary and needed rest. Feeling fulfilled
Speaker 1: and nostalgic, Isaac returned to his beloved wife and children.
Speaker 1: As he departed from his father's tent, he noticed that
Speaker 1: he seemed to surprise Katurah, Abram's second wife. Lingering at
Speaker 1: the entrance, Isaac offered a smile, but as always, she
Speaker 1: averted her eyes respectfully orbeard a little awkwardly. Isaac never
Speaker 1: wanted to make anyone uncomfortable, but he supposed it was
Speaker 1: unavoidable given their history. He bowed his head to her
Speaker 1: and left. Days passed slowly into weeks, and Isaac received
Speaker 1: the summons he was most dreading to receive. His father,
Speaker 1: the great and Noble Abraham, was dead. Mourners were already
Speaker 1: gathering and keening outside of his father's tent when he
Speaker 1: arrived to fulfill the task of closing his cherished father's
Speaker 1: eyes for the last time. The finality of closing a
Speaker 1: second parent's eyes was almost enough to break Isaac. Gone
Speaker 1: was his parental guidance from the face of this earth.
Speaker 1: How would he lead and love his people without their
Speaker 1: watchful eyes and wise words. He clung to the lessons
Speaker 1: he had gleaned from their lifetimes, but feared he would
Speaker 1: fumble as he carried their legacies forward. He stayed and
Speaker 1: wept beside the lifeless body of his father, at the
Speaker 1: foot of this great man, until he had exhausted every
Speaker 1: tear and a bit of strength from his body. Rebecca
Speaker 1: faithfully stayed by his side all the while, when it
Speaker 1: was finally time to leave, to let the servants see
Speaker 1: to their task of preparing his body for burial. He
Speaker 1: leaned on her as she guided him through the throng
Speaker 1: of mourners and well wishes. Beyond them all, and just
Speaker 1: out of sight, there seemed to be a commotion at
Speaker 1: the edge of camp. Numbly, Isaac saw that it had
Speaker 1: not escaped Rebeccah's sharp gaze. He was sure she would
Speaker 1: connect the dots for him later. Whatever this disturbance was,
Speaker 1: it could wait. But it turned out it would not wait.
Speaker 1: Whispers spread through the camp with such ferocity that even Isaac,
Speaker 1: in his vortex of grief, could not escape hearing the news.
Speaker 1: Ishmael who is back?
Speaker 6: Ishmael arrives just as your father drew his last breath,
Speaker 6: and the other challengers have been sent away.
Speaker 4: They were not challengers. And we do not yet know
Speaker 4: Ishmael's motives, do we not, Rebecca, You do not know him.
Speaker 3: I do not know him.
Speaker 4: He was sent away.
Speaker 2: When I was just a babe.
Speaker 4: We cannot claim to know his mind.
Speaker 6: Well, we surely know who did this. His Egyptian mother
Speaker 6: must have sent word. You yourself said you saw her
Speaker 6: lingering about the tent when Abraham gave you his blessing,
Speaker 6: his last will and testament, she would have him challenge
Speaker 6: your father's intentions.
Speaker 4: Challenge you, please, Rebecca, no more scheming. It is right
Speaker 4: that the woman told her son to come pay respects
Speaker 4: to his father. You forget. Ishmael was my father's heir
Speaker 4: for many years before I was born. He is circumcised
Speaker 4: the same as me. He may very well hold many
Speaker 4: of our customs. Still, I hear he's on his way
Speaker 4: to building a nation of his own out in the
Speaker 4: wilderness of Baran. Surely challenge is not on his mind.
Speaker 4: With what that responsibility on his shoulders. I do not
Speaker 4: like it.
Speaker 6: The timing worries me.
Speaker 4: I know, my love. I'm sure he'll call on us soon,
Speaker 4: and then his intentions will be made clear.
Speaker 1: Isaac was right. Not an hour later, a servant arrived
Speaker 1: to tell them Ishmael was on his way to meet
Speaker 1: with them. Esau and Jacob looked innocently at their father,
Speaker 1: picking up on their mother's.
Speaker 2: Worry, Father, what will you call them?
Speaker 3: Is he brother?
Speaker 2: Is he uncle by blood but not by law? When
Speaker 2: grandfather divorced his mother, Hagar, he lost his inheritance, but.
Speaker 3: She did come back, and we call her by Katura.
Speaker 6: Now, boys, he will be here soon. Stop your quarreling.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Rebecca. Just address him as Master Ishmael. Be
Speaker 4: respectful and be done with it. We do not know
Speaker 4: what he wants, but we will be gracious hosts while
Speaker 4: he is under our tent.
Speaker 1: Just then, a formidable man entered the tent in the
Speaker 1: wake of Isaac's servant. The boy Isaac barely remembered as
Speaker 1: a toddler, had grown into a leader and warrior. You
Speaker 1: could see his physical and tactical prowess in how he
Speaker 1: carried himself and quickly and efficiently surveyed the room. His
Speaker 1: arms were thick and tight, like braided rope. His eyes,
Speaker 1: piercing and intense, reminded him of an eagle.
Speaker 3: Master Isaac, I present Master Ishmael of the Paran Wilderness.
Speaker 4: Brother, you have grown since we last met, as have you,
Speaker 4: Master Ishmael.
Speaker 7: I must admit I would be surprised if he remembered
Speaker 7: me at all.
Speaker 4: I'm a simple man, but I have the memory of
Speaker 4: a fortified tower.
Speaker 1: The two men chuckled as they took each other's measure.
Speaker 1: Isaac could sense the tension softening his wife beside him,
Speaker 1: but she did not relax entirely. It was indeed a
Speaker 1: relief that Ishmael came with such an agreeable demeanor. Even
Speaker 1: amid all that was happening around them. He could tell
Speaker 1: that his sons were impressed with the man as well.
Speaker 1: In fact, there was almost a kindred spirit between young
Speaker 1: Esau and the great warrior who stood before them. They
Speaker 1: both seemed wild and powerful in their own ways. Even
Speaker 1: Jacob's calculating assessment must have found the man to be
Speaker 1: a worthy leader. After all, the man had accomplished so
Speaker 1: much through the family he had built in a relatively
Speaker 1: short period of time out in the desert.
Speaker 4: May I present my wife, Mistress Rebecca, daughter of Bethel,
Speaker 4: and my twin sons he saw and Jacob twins. I
Speaker 4: have twelve children.
Speaker 3: And none of them are twins.
Speaker 4: Where I live, twins are considered to be gifts from
Speaker 4: the Sun and moon.
Speaker 2: Blessed.
Speaker 6: Yes, we have been doubly blessed, Master Ishmael.
Speaker 4: I must admit, Master Ishmael, we would not anticipate in
Speaker 4: your arrival. As you can imagine, there is much to do,
Speaker 4: so we can bury our.
Speaker 1: Father Ishmael at the mention of their father. Stepped to
Speaker 1: Isaac and grabbed his shoulder in a boldly comforting manner.
Speaker 1: The movement surprised Isaac, but it was not unwelcome.
Speaker 4: Isaac.
Speaker 7: When I heard of Abraham's death, I wept for days.
Speaker 7: Though my departure left a deep wound. Father raised me
Speaker 7: to be strong and competent. The tools he gave me
Speaker 7: were invaluable in the wilderness. My heart is with you
Speaker 7: as well. I cannot imagine the grief you must feel.
Speaker 7: Please allow me to assist you in burying him. This
Speaker 7: is why I have come all this way. I must
Speaker 7: see the father has laid to rest in peace.
Speaker 3: Thank you, wish Mail.
Speaker 4: I would be honored to have you at my side
Speaker 4: to bury our father.
Speaker 1: It is I who am honored.
Speaker 4: Thank you for receiving me.
Speaker 1: And so the reunited brothers buried their father together. Abraham
Speaker 1: was buried beside his beloved Sarah in the cave of Macbela,
Speaker 1: which he had purchased from Ephron, son of Zohar, the Hetheite.
Speaker 1: Abraham was buried in the land he was promised by
Speaker 1: his God, and on a portion of it that he
Speaker 1: rightfully owned, just as he had done when his mother
Speaker 1: had died, Isaac stayed back when the other mourners and
Speaker 1: even his own family made their way back to the caravan.
Speaker 1: He sat there a long while in his own grip
Speaker 1: and reflected back on his mother's and father's memories, enjoying
Speaker 1: the peaceful quiet of the serene edge of the field.
Speaker 1: When Isaac finally departed from the tomb, he again wondered
Speaker 1: at his father's wisdom in making the purchase of the
Speaker 1: land and cave for their family. He knew that in
Speaker 1: this place, too, he would be buried, and his wife
Speaker 1: and his children after him. It was humbling to stand
Speaker 1: in the shadow of what would become his family's monument
Speaker 1: on this earth, and far more humbling still to consider
Speaker 1: the generations that God promised would come after. Ishmael shared
Speaker 1: with Isaac how his God had been with him since
Speaker 1: the time he and his mother, Hagar had been cast out.
Speaker 1: Ishmael had grown to be a great clan leader, the
Speaker 1: one Abraham had raised him to be. His nation would
Speaker 1: only grow from here, and Isaac's other half siblings, they
Speaker 1: would surely multiply now that they were spreading out to
Speaker 1: thee It was as if Isaac could see the beginnings
Speaker 1: of their God's promise in his lifetime. Already he was
Speaker 1: beginning to understand the stories his father told him of
Speaker 1: uncountable stars and dust. Almost in answer to his weighty thoughts,
Speaker 1: Isaac suddenly noticed the stillness of the night around him.
Speaker 1: The stars above him seemed brighter, and the cool breeze
Speaker 1: of the evening seemed as if it had disappeared, and
Speaker 1: the air around him seemed fixed in place. The crickets
Speaker 1: and chirps of the night time chorus ceased as well.
Speaker 1: All the world around him held its breath in reverence
Speaker 1: as a glorious and comforting presence fell upon him, And
Speaker 1: then came a voice, just like the one he had
Speaker 1: heard as a boy upon that lonely mountain and makeshift
Speaker 1: altar all those years ago. Isaac dropped to his knee, trembling,
Speaker 1: and bowed his head to receive the word of his
Speaker 1: father's God.
Speaker 3: Isaac, son of my servant Abraham, you have spent a
Speaker 3: lifetime following your father as he followed me. I come
Speaker 3: now to bless you to carry out the promise I
Speaker 3: made to your father. Through your lifetime, your family's name
Speaker 3: will be great, and I will bless those who bless
Speaker 3: you and curse those who curse you. Through your lineage,
Speaker 3: all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Today
Speaker 3: I re establish my covenant with you and your offspring.
Speaker 3: May you follow me as faithfully as your father did,
Speaker 3: and may you raise your sons to do the same
Speaker 3: after you.
Speaker 4: Thank you, my God will do all that you ask me.
Speaker 1: With that, the voice receded, leave that same comforting presence
Speaker 1: behind in the back of his mind. It was just
Speaker 1: out of reach, but Isaac could sense it there. It
Speaker 1: gave him the confidence he was seeking to take up
Speaker 1: his father's mantle, and it gave him great comfort in
Speaker 1: his beloved father's absence.
Speaker 5: As we come to the end of Abraham's life story,
Speaker 5: it has been a story that's spectacular. But Abraham's story,
Speaker 5: as we all know, Yeah, well, it hasn't been very
Speaker 5: neat and tidy. No no, no, It's been very messy.
Speaker 5: There are highs and lows, victories and failures, and yet
Speaker 5: God has been faithful through it all. It makes me
Speaker 5: reflect on my own journey, the moments when stepping out
Speaker 5: in faith felt like stepping off a cliff, the times
Speaker 5: I've laughed at the improbability of God's promises in my life.
Speaker 5: But Abraham's story reminds me that faith isn't about certainty. No,
Speaker 5: it's not about certainty. Rather, it's about trust, trust in
Speaker 5: the God who calls, who leads, who fulfills his promise,
Speaker 5: even when the path is winding and the destination is unclear.
Speaker 5: I learned from Abraham's story that he still had trust
Speaker 5: in a God who is always at work, and of
Speaker 5: a God who chooses ordinary people to play a part
Speaker 5: in his extraordinary story. As Abraham's story comes to a
Speaker 5: close in Genesis twenty five, verse five, it tells us
Speaker 5: Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac. Now, there's a
Speaker 5: beautiful Jewish tradition that says that Abraham left the following
Speaker 5: and his last Will and Testament to Isaac. This is
Speaker 5: a quote God told me at the beginning of my mission.
Speaker 5: You shall be a blessing that I would have the
Speaker 5: power to bless people, to bless my family, the Chosen people,
Speaker 5: and to bless the entire world. And I now give
Speaker 5: over to you, my dear Isaac, that power, the most
Speaker 5: significant power in the world, the power to bless.
Speaker 2: Isn't that beautiful?
Speaker 5: I get chills just reading it? Abraham, in passing on
Speaker 5: that power to bless to the next generation, passed on
Speaker 5: that power to all future generations, and that includes.
Speaker 4: You and me.
Speaker 5: We're able to bless one another and every single day
Speaker 5: in our work at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
Speaker 5: this is exactly what we do, and this is what
Speaker 5: you help.
Speaker 2: Us to do.
Speaker 5: We bless the poor with food and basic necessities. We
Speaker 5: bless the lonely with friendship and compassion. We bless the frightened,
Speaker 5: who are very often under rocket attack here in Israel,
Speaker 5: with safety and security. Every one of us, my friends,
Speaker 5: indeed has the power to bless, and in doing so,
Speaker 5: I think we can all agree that we make our
Speaker 5: own lives truly blessed. As the daughter of Rebbi Riile Estein,
Speaker 5: founder of the Fellowship, I relate to this story deeply
Speaker 5: because I know what it means to be raised by
Speaker 5: a great man who impacted countless lives around the world.
Speaker 5: Every day I am reminded of my place as his daughter.
Speaker 5: Many children of great men and women can feel burdened
Speaker 5: by their lineage. They feel trapped by expectations, and instead
Speaker 5: of being uplifted by them, they feel burdened by them.
Speaker 5: But for me, being grab Eckstine's daughter is not just
Speaker 5: an honor, it's a sacred duty, carrying on the holy
Speaker 5: work of those who came before us as part of
Speaker 5: our Jewish identity, retching back to the dawn of our faith,
Speaker 5: all the way back to the story of Abraham and Isaac.
Speaker 5: In this week's episode, an extra phrase also sticks out
Speaker 5: from the scriptures. We are told of quote the account
Speaker 5: of the family line of Abraham's son Isaac, and then
Speaker 5: we're reminded again that quote Abraham became the father of Isaac.
Speaker 5: End quote. Well, this makes me wonder, because the Torah
Speaker 5: wastes no words. If something is repeated, it means that
Speaker 5: it carries weight and wisdom. There are ten times that
Speaker 5: the Bible begins a verse with elettodt, which means this
Speaker 5: is the account of the family line of someone. Nine
Speaker 5: of those times it goes on to list only the children.
Speaker 5: But for Isaac, it starts by reaffirming Abraham as his father.
Speaker 5: This isn't just repetition, it's a profound teaching. You see,
Speaker 5: Isaac's story as a father begins with his identity as
Speaker 5: Abraham's son. Isaac was the first born into Abraham's covenant,
Speaker 5: and that's no small deal. He understood that his primary
Speaker 5: role in life was to carry forward his father's greatness.
Speaker 5: Like Isaac, we too must embrace the legacy and faith
Speaker 5: of those who came before us, because it's in the
Speaker 5: shadows of the great that we learn to become greater.
Speaker 5: But before we come to that instance of the Hebrew
Speaker 5: fes Ele TOLDO, these are the children of We see
Speaker 5: it even earlier in reference to Ishmael. So let's talk
Speaker 5: about Ishmael. During his life, Abraham experienced a very difficult
Speaker 5: family situation. Now listen to the two verses that tell
Speaker 5: us of Abraham's death and burial. Verse eight says quote,
Speaker 5: then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good
Speaker 5: old age. Then the very next verse says quote, his
Speaker 5: sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of
Speaker 5: mach Pelin. Sincemael was Abraham's first born, you'd think that
Speaker 5: his name would come first, but it doesn't. Well, the
Speaker 5: Jewish sages suggest that this implies that Ishmael repented for
Speaker 5: his negative qualities and insisted that Isaac precede him in
Speaker 5: the funeral procession. This is a great lesson for all
Speaker 5: of us, a lesson about the opportunity for repentance and
Speaker 5: the power of repentance. According to Jewish tradition, Ishmael wasn't
Speaker 5: stuck in his problematic character traits. Perhaps influenced by his
Speaker 5: holy parents and his brother's display of holiness, Ishmael changed
Speaker 5: his ways. And you know what, that's something all of
Speaker 5: us can do. I like to say that we are
Speaker 5: always repenting, and here in this story, from the end
Speaker 5: of Abraham's life, we can use his son Ishmael as inspiration.
Speaker 5: So here we are the children of Abraham, the heirs
Speaker 5: to a promise that spans the heavens and touches the earth.
Speaker 5: How do we live in light of such a heritage?
Speaker 5: We have the courage to trust God like Abraham did,
Speaker 5: to step out in faith when the road is uncertain,
Speaker 5: to live faithfully in every stage of life, no matter
Speaker 5: what life brings to us. Well, I suggest that we
Speaker 5: focused on not just living our lives, but leaving legacies
Speaker 5: like Abraham, planting seeds of faith today that will bear
Speaker 5: fruit long after we're gone. Let's bless our children and
Speaker 5: our grandchildren by teaching them these stories of faith. Here's
Speaker 5: a final blessing from here in the Holy Land for you.
Speaker 5: Ivare Hashem Vi schmurecher Yeah, Heir hashempanave ilehacher ye sa
Speaker 5: hashempanave Lechra Shellon. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Speaker 5: May the Lord make his face shine upon you. May
Speaker 5: he be gracious to you. Made the Lord turn his
Speaker 5: face towards you and give you peace.
