Who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully. (Tehillah (Psalms) 24:1-4)

I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of Egypt to be your Elohim. I am יהוה your Elohim. You shall make yourselves fringes on the four borders of your garment, with which you cover yourself.” (BaMidbar (Numbers) 15:37-41, D’Varim (Deuteronomy) 22:12)

How precious is Your loving kindness, Elohim ! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of Your wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of Your house. You will make them drink of the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the spring of life. In Your light shall we see light. Oh continue Your loving kindness to those who know You, Your righteousness to the upright in heart. (Tehillah (Psalms) 36:8-11)

וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי לְעוֹלָם; וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי בְּצֶדֶק וּבְמִשְׁפָּט, וּבְחֶסֶד, וּבְרַחֲמִים.

The fear of יהוה is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do His work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! (Tehillim (Psalms) 111:10) But He, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn't destroy them. Yes, many times He turned his anger away, and didn't stir up all His wrath. (Tehillim (Psalms) 78:38) If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet live in darkness, we lie and do not follow the truth; But if we live in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Yeshua his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all our unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. (Yokhanan Alef (1st John) 1:6-10)

Hear, Israel: יהוה is our Elohim ; יהוה is one: and you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes. You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates. (D’varim (Deuteronomy) 6:4-9)

You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (VaYikra (Leviticus)19:18b)

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to My commandments which I command you this day, to love יהוה your Elohim , and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil. I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full. Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; and the anger of יהוה be kindled against you, and He shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which יהוה gives you.

Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes. You shall teach them your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates; that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which יהוה swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth. (D’varim (Deuteronomy) 11:13-21)
