Bible Verses About The Jews

Then you will know that I sent you this command to affirm my covenant with Levi," says ADONAI-Tzva'ot.

"My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave him these things. It was also one of fear, and he feared me; he was in awe of my name.

The true Torah was in his mouth, and no dishonesty was found on his lips; he walked with me in peace and uprightness and turned many away from sin.

A cohen's lips should safeguard knowledge, and people should seek Torah from his mouth, because he is the messenger of ADONAI-Tzva'ot.

You hypocrites! Yesha`yahu was right when he prophesied about you,

For he himself is our shalom — he has made us both one and has broken down the m’chitzah which divided us

by destroying in his own body the enmity occasioned by the Torah, with its commands set forth in the form of ordinances. He did this in order to create in union with himself from the two groups a single new humanity and thus make shalom,
