Deuteronomy 31:12-13 says,  ​“12 Assemble the people, the men and the women and children and the alien who is in your town, so that they may hear and learn and fear YHVH your Elohim, and be careful to observe all the words of this law. 13 Their children, who have not known, will hear and learn to fear YHVH your Elohim, as long as you live on the land which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess.” No-one was left out of the gathering so that they may hear and learn to Fear YHVH.  This is such a strong pattern throughout all of Scripture…men, women, children and alien gathering together to learn of our Creator’s ways.

We’ve read before in Deuteronomy 4:10, but it fits to read it again, “Remember the day you stood before YHVH your Elohim at Horeb, when YHVH said to me, ‘Assemble the people to Me, that I may let them hear My words so they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’”

Each time we gather together, may we have at the forefront of our hearts that one of the things we are to learn from what we hear is to Fear/Reverence YHVH our Elohim, both individually and corporately.

May we have a joyful Shabbat!!
