Ha'azinu
Deuteronomy · 8articles
Parashat Ha'azinu - Seventh Aliyah
The aliyah seals the Song of Ha'azinu: Moses and Hoshea son of Nun recite it to the people, Moses demands that they set the words upon their heart and command their children, for it is no empty thing, for it is your life, and immediately afterwards he is commanded to go up Mount Nebo, to see the land from afar and not to enter it.
Parashat Ha'azinu - Sixth Aliyah
The aliyah opens with God's oath, as I live forever, describes in the language of sword and arrows the judgment that will repay adversaries and enemies after a period in which the enemies seemed to rule, and closes with a call to the nations to sing with Israel and with atonement for the land and the people.
Parashat Ha'azinu - Insights and Questions
Parashat Ha'azinu is Moses' farewell song: heaven and earth as witnesses, rain and dew, the Rock whose work is perfect, the abundance that breeds a kick, the hidden face, and at last I put to death and I give life. Six insights, a homily on heaven and earth, and the question of what will pass to the next generation.
Parashat Ha'azinu - Fifth Aliyah
The aliyah calls for wisdom and for considering the end, describes the enemies who prevailed and their bitter fruit, the judgment kept for the fitting time, the turn when strength is gone and the collapse of false supports, and ends with the declaration: God puts to death and gives life, wounds and heals, and none can deliver from his hand.
Parashat Ha'azinu - Fourth Aliyah
The aliyah describes God's response to Israel's distancing: a hidden face, famine, disease, the sword outside and terror within the chambers, and inside the judgment also a restraint, so that the enemy will not say our hand is high, up to the critique of a nation void of counsel and without understanding.
Parashat Ha'azinu - Third Aliyah
The aliyah describes the abundance given to Israel, honey and oil, cattle and sheep, wheat and wine, and the turn that comes precisely out of satiety: Jeshurun grows fat and kicks, forsakes the God who made him, turns to new gods and forgets the Rock that bore him.
Parashat Ha'azinu - Second Aliyah
The aliyah calls to remember the days of old and to learn from the fathers and the elders, describes Israel as God's portion and inheritance, the care in the wilderness through the image of the eagle hovering over its young, and ends with God's exclusive leadership with no foreign god.
Parashat Ha'azinu - First Aliyah
The aliyah opens the Song of Ha'azinu by calling heaven and earth as witnesses, presents God as the Rock whose work is perfect and whose ways are justice against a crooked and twisted generation, and ends with a rebuke over ingratitude toward the one who made and established the people.
