feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts. Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel. Deuteronomy 7:13 And he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you: he will also bless the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the increase of your cows, and the flocks of your sheep, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you. Luke 1:42 And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Isaiah 49:5,6 And now, said the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. And he said, It is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth. Isaiah 49:13-16 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and will have mercy on his afflicted. But Zion said, The LORD has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget you. Behold, I have graven you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:22 Thus said the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders. Isaiah 49:26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Isaiah 51:1-4 Listen to me, you that follow after righteousness, you that seek the LORD: look to the rock from where you are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from where you are dig. Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah that bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. Listen to me, my people; and give ear to me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people. Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the Torah is light. 2

KJV Deuteronomy 8:1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. JPS Deuteronomy 8:1 All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers. ESV Deuteronomy 8:1 The whole commandment that I command you today you shall be careful to do, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land that the Lord swore to give to your fathers. Deuteronomy 8:2,3 You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not. He humbled you, and allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn t know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD. Exodus 16:4 Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no John 6:32-35 Yeshua therefore said to them, Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn t Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world. They said therefore to him, Lord, always give us this bread. Yeshua said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. Deuteronomy 8:6-8 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the LORD your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; Deuteronomy 8:10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you. Deuteronomy 8:11-18 Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day. Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelled therein; And when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which 3

brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; Who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint; Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end; And you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. But you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 9:4-6 Speak not you in your heart, after that the LORD your God has cast them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD does drive them out from before you. Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may perform the word which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Understand therefore, that the LORD your God gives you not this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff necked people. Deuteronomy 9:9,10 And the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words that the Lord had spoken with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly. Deuteronomy 10:12,13 And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good? Deuteronomy 10:15 Only the LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regards not persons, nor takes reward: Deuteronomy 10:22 Your fathers went down into Egypt with three score and ten persons; and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude. Deuteronomy 11:10-12 For the land, where you go in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from where you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs: But the land, where you go to 4

possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven: A land which the LORD your God cares for: the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. Deuteronomy 11:13-21 And it shall come to pass, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, That I will give you the rain מטר of your land in his due season, the first rain יורה and the latter rain, מלקוש that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil. And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle, that you may eat and be full. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no מטר, rain and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives you. Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign on your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. And 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 the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven on the earth. the first rain Autumn the latter rain, - Spring (rain). yowreh, active participle of 3384; or autumnal showers first rain, former יורה 3138. yarah, to flow as water (i.e. to rain); an archer; to point out (as if by aiming the finger), to teach ירה 3384. teaching; mowreh, from 3384; an archer; also the early rain; also teacher or מורה 4175.

Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for (AKJV) Joel 2:23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain מורה moderately, צדקה and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. 5

(MKJV) Joel 2:23 Be glad then, sons of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God. For He has given you the former rain <mowreh> את-מורה according to righteousness, and He will cause the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain in the first month. Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness on you. Isaiah 30:19-21 O people, living in Zion, at Jerusalem, your weeping will be ended; he will certainly have mercy on you at the sound of your cry; when it comes to his ear, he will give you an answer. And though the Lord will give you the bread of trouble and the water of grief, you will no longer put your Teacher on one side, but you will Behold your Teacher: את מורה And at your back, when you are turning to the right hand or to the left, a voice will be sounding in your ears, saying, This is the way in which you are to go. (YLT) Joel 2:23 And ye sons of Zion, joy and rejoice, In Jehovah your God, For He hath given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And causeth to come down to you a shower, Sprinkling and gathered--in the beginning. Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth. Deuteronomy 11:22-25 For if you will be careful to do all this commandment that I command you to do, loving the Lord your God, walking in all his ways, and holding fast to him, then the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea. No one shall be able to stand against you. The Lord your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread, as he promised you. Jeremiah 18:15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; John 14:4-6a Where I go, you know, and you know the way. Thomas said to him, Lord, we don t know where you are going. How can we know the way? Yeshua said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. What is that way? Psalms 119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law(torah) of the LORD. 6

And what is the truth? Psalms 119:142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law(torah) is the truth. And what is life? Proverbs 13:14 The law(torah) of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Psalm 27:1-5 The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident. One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to see the LORD s beauty, and to inquire in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his tabernacle. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock. Haggai 1:1-4 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the Word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, This is what the LORD of Hosts says: These people say, The time hasn t yet come, the time for the LORD s house to be built. Then the Word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, saying, Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste? Joel 2:1 Blow the shofar in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD comes, for it is close at hand: Matthew 24:31-34 He will send out his angels with a great sound of a shofar, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that the summer is near. Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished. Psalms 81:3,4 Blow the shofar at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. Jeremiah 24:3-5 Then said the LORD unto me: 'What seest thou, Jeremiah?' And I said: 'Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.' And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:'thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good. 7

Matthew 24:37 As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Genesis 6:3 The LORD said, My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years. Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky s windows were opened. 1Thessalonians 5:1-4 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you. For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. For when they are saying, Peace and Safety, then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape. But you, brothers, aren t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief. 8
