Top Highlights

“The Hebrew word for ‘work,’ avodah, is the same for ‘manual labor’ and ‘worshipping God.’ The picture we see here of the human’s work is that it was also a form of worship.” (Page 6)

“‘Why spend money for what isn’t food, your wages for what doesn’t satisfy?’ (v. 2), Rabbi Israel Slotki states that ‘worldly pursuits involve the spending of money and labor without satisfying the soul.’ It is only the word of Adonai that satisfies every human longing, and only God can meet every human need.” (Page 583)

“his providential care and protection for the faithful” (Page 931)

“Yeshua—is used in this Bible instead of the Greek translation, Jesus. Of course, there’s nothing inherently wrong in saying ‘Jesus,’ but it’s not how he was known to his family, friends, and first-century followers. To them, he was Yeshua, a Hebrew name meaning ‘salvation.’” (Page xvii)

“Rather, the believer has been made dead, not to all of Torah but to three aspects of it: (1) its capacity to stir up sin in him (vv. 5–14); (2) its capacity to produce irremediable guilt feelings (vv. 15–25); and (3) its penalties, punishments, and curses (8:1–4).” (Page 1615)
