The SHEMA

שמע ישראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה אחד׃
ואהבת את יהוה אלהיך בכל־לבבך ובכל־נפשך  
ובכל־מאדך׃




Shema Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu


  Adonai Eloheinu
      
                Adonai Echad


Veh-havta et Adonai Eloheikhah


Bekol Levavekah
uBekohl naphshekha uBekohl mehodekhah
       
This is the morning prayer of all Jews. This is their goodnight.
This is the commandment of the LORD... since B.C. and into A.D.
Yeshua refers to this command.
He did not come to do away with it but to Fulfill it in his own life.

This is the first Hebrew song I have learned.
It is my desire. So should it be to the end.




Deuteronomy 6:4,5
    
            "Hear O Israel, The Lord our God is One;
                       Love the Lord your God
  With all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might"


I learned that there is more to this prayer:

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad. Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.

In an undertone: Barukh sheim k'vod malkhuto l'olam va'ed. Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever.

V'ahav'ta eit Adonai Elohekha b'khol l'vav'kha uv'khol naf'sh'kha uv'khol m'odekha. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

V'hayu had'varim ha'eileh asher anokhi m'tzav'kha hayom al l'vavekha. And these words that I command you today shall be in your heart.

V'shinan'tam l'vanekha v'dibar'ta bamAnd you shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall speak of them

b'shiv't'kha b'veitekha uv'lekh't'kha vaderekh uv'shakh'b'kha uv'kumekha when you sit at home, and when you walk along the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up.

Uk'shar'tam l'ot al yadekha v'hayu l'totafot bein einekha. And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

Ukh'tav'tam al m'zuzot beitekha uvish'arekha. And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
