PARASHA 047 RE'EH - BECAUSE MAIN PAGE
"Re'eh" D'varim/Deuteronomy
11:26–16:17
Parshah, "Re'eh," means "See," and it is found in Deuteronomy 11:26.
“See,” says Moses to the people of Israel, “I place before you today a
blessing and a curse”—the blessing that will come when they fulfill
YEHOVAH’s commandments, and the curse if they abandon them. These should
be proclaimed on Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal when the people cross over
into the Holy Land.
A Temple should be established in "the place that YEHOVAH will choose to
make dwell His name there,” where the people should bring their
sacrifices to Him; it is forbidden to make offerings to YEHOVAH in any
other place. It is permitted to slaughter animals elsewhere, not as a
sacrifice but to eat their meat; the blood (which in the Temple is
poured upon the altar), however, may not be eaten.
A false prophet, or one who entices others to worship idols, should be
put to death; an idolatrous city must be destroyed. The identifying
signs for kosher animals and fish, and the list of non-kosher birds
(first given in Leviticus 11), are repeated.
A tenth of all produce is to be eaten in Jerusalem, or else exchanged
for money with which food is purchased and eaten there. In certain years
this tithe is given to the poor instead. Firstborn cattle and sheep are
to be offered in the Temple, and their meat eaten by the kohanim
(priests).
The mitzvah of charity obligates a Jew to aid a needy fellow with a gift
or loan. On the Sabbatical year (occurring every seventh year), all
loans are to be forgiven. All indentured servants are to be set free
after six years of service.
Our Parshah concludes with the laws of the three pilgrimage
festivals—Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot—when all should go to “see and be
seen” before YEHOVAH in the Holy Temple.
