“… out of Tziyon will go forth Torah,
the word of ADONAI from Yerushalayim.” (Isaiah 2:3) |
The summary of the entire Torah is as simple as this:
Love what HaShem loves; hate what HaShem hates. All else is commentary.

Leviticus
e. The Place of Sacrifice (17:1–9)
(LY: iv) 1 Yehovah spoke to Moshe, saying, 2 “Speak to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Isra'el, and say to them, ‘This is the thing which Yehovah has commanded: 3 Whatever man there is of the house of Isra'el who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp, 4 and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to offer it as an offering to Yehovah before Yehovah’s tabernacle: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood. That man shall be cut off from among his people. 5 This is to the end that the children of Isra'el may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to Yehovah, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the cohen, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to Yehovah. 6 The cohen shall splash the blood on Yehovah’s altar at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to Yehovah. 7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’
(RY: iii, LY: v) 8 “You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Isra'el, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a elevation-offering or sacrifice, 9 and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting to sacrifice it to Yehovah, that man shall be cut off from his people.
f. The Life is in the Blood (17:10–16)
10 “‘Any man of the house of Isra'el, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood. I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life. 12 Therefore I have said to the children of Isra'el, “No person among you may eat blood, nor may any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”
13 “‘Whatever man there is of the children of Isra'el, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust. 14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life. Therefore I said to the children of Isra'el, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”
15 “‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. Then he shall be clean. 16 But if he doesn’t wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”
