God uses an unusual character to confirm the calling on the children of Israel to be a people set apart from the world until the day they birth the reign of the Davidic Messiah on Earth. In the meantime, you and I are called to bless them. These foundational elements of the Abrahamic covenant are repeated in this week’s Torah portion, when God not only makes a donkey speak but a Moabite diviner proclaim words of truth. 🔔 Subscribe to receive a Shabbat Shalom blessing each week! https://www.youtube.com/c/OutofZion/?sub_confirmation=1 Text “Zion” to 72572 to sign up for text alerts.  Show Links:  Online Courses: www.ICEJU.org Books: www.embassypublishers.com Tour Interest: www.icejusa.org/tours Please partner with Susan to make this type of educational resource available to others, as the prophet Isaiah envisioned: “For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem” (Isaiah 2:3).
