Puma Punko “Gate of the Sun”
This week the class returns from the winter break and we resume our Torah study. This class covers finishes Exodus Ch. 20 and goes into the very beginning of Ch. 21.
Below are the relevant verses:
Exodus Ch. 20 (JPS 1917)
19And the LORD said unto Moses: Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel: Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. 20Ye shall not make with Me—gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you. 21An altar of earth thou shalt make unto Me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen; in every place where I cause My name to be mentioned I will come unto thee and bless thee. 22And if thou make Me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast profaned it. 23Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.
Chapter 21
1Now these are the ordinances which thou shalt set before them.
2If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve; and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
