Parasha Excerpt

Deuteronomy 3:23–29 (CJB)

23 “Then I pleaded with Adonai, 24 ‘Adonai Elohim, you have begun to reveal your greatness to your servant, and your strong hand—for what other god is there in heaven or on earth that can do the works and mighty deeds that you do? 25 Please! Let me go across and see the good land on the other side of the Yarden, that wonderful hill-country and the L’vanon!’ 26 But Adonai was angry with me on account of you, and he didn’t listen to me. Adonai said to me, ‘Enough from you! Don’t say another word to me about this matter! 27 Climb up to the top of Pisgah and look out to the west, north, south and east. Look with your eyes—but you will not go across this Yarden. 28 However, commission Y’hoshua, encourage him and strengthen him; for he will lead this people across and enable them to inherit the land that you will see.’ 29 So we stayed in the valley across from Beit-P‘or.

Matthew 4:1–11 (CJB)

1Then the Spirit led Yeshua up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Adversary. 2After Yeshua had fasted forty days and nights, he was hungry. 3The Tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order these stones to become bread.” 4But he answered, “The Tanakh says,

‘Man does not live on bread alone,

but on every word that comes from the mouth of Adonai’ ”f1

5Then the Adversary took him to the holy city and set him on the highest point of the Temple. 6“If you are the Son of God,” he said, “jump! For the Tanakh says,

‘He will order his angels to be responsible for you.…

They will support you with their hands,

so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.’ ”g2

7Yeshua replied to him, “But it also says, ‘Do not put Adonai your God to the test.’ ”h3

8Once more, the Adversary took him up to the summit of a very high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory, 9and said to him, “All this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me.” 10“Away with you, Satan!” Yeshua told him, “For the Tanakh says,

‘Worship Adonai your God, and serve only him.’ ”i4

11Then the Adversary let him alone, and angels came and took care of him.
