Hi, I’m Sam.
My Mitzvot is To know there is a G‑d, Not to destroy objects associated with God’s Name, and Not to listen to a false prophet.
“I am the Lord, your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” In Exodus 22:2
אָֽנֹכִ֨י יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֽוֹצֵאתִ֩יךָ֩ מֵאֶ֨רֶץ מִצְרַ֜יִם מִבֵּ֣ית עֲבָדִ֗ים
This quote means that G-d is mighty and you must believe in him. It means that he was the one who saved you and you need to be obedient towards him. He is saying that he is the reason that the Jews had been able to escape and protect them and he was saving us for generations, and without him, the Jewish people would have still been enslaved by the Egyptians or extinct.
Not to destroy objects associated with His Name (Deuteronomy 12:4).
דלֹא־תַֽעֲשׂ֣וּן כֵּ֔ן לַֽיהֹוָ֖ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם:
This means that you can’t destroy the Torah, siddurs, and other things that are believed to be holy or have God’s name in them. You can’t do that because it is very bad and it is like not caring about God. This is one way you can show respect to God.
“You shall not heed the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of a dream; for the Lord, your God, is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul (Deuteronomy 13:4).
דלֹ֣א תִשְׁמַ֗ע אֶל־דִּבְרֵי֙ הַנָּבִ֣יא הַה֔וּא א֛וֹ אֶל־חוֹלֵ֥ם הַֽחֲל֖וֹם הַה֑וּא כִּ֣י מְנַסֶּ֞ה יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ אֶתְכֶ֔ם לָדַ֗עַת הֲיִשְׁכֶ֤ם אֹֽהֲבִים֙ אֶת־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֖ם וּבְכָל־נַפְשְׁכֶֽם: |
This means that you can’t say that God said, told you, or did a certain thing that is fake. If you did that then you are basically lying and disrespecting God. it is basically saying that God is a rainbow unico princess with fake proof. But of course nobody would believe that. |
