Lech-Lecha

Shabbat Shalom!
๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฅ๐: Lech-Lecha, Lekh-Lekha, or Lech-L’cha (ืึถืึฐ-ืึฐืึธโ leแธต-lษแธตฤ โ Hebrew for “go!” or “leave!”, literally “go for you” โ the fifth and sixth words in the parashah) is the third weekly Torah portion (ืคึธึผืจึธืฉึธืืโ, parashah) in the annual cycle of Torah reading. It constitutes Genesis 12:1โ17:27. The parashah tells the stories of God’s calling of Abram (who would become Abraham), Abram’s passing off his wife Sarai as his sister, Abram’s dividing the land with his nephew Lot, the war between the four kings and the five, the covenant between the pieces, Sarai’s tensions with her maid Hagar and Hagar’s son Ishmael, and the covenant of circumcision (brit milah).

๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Abraham and Sarah were commanded to Go! To leave everything they knew to follow Adonai. Often I have found in a journey especially while traveling that Yahweh will speak to us in and through the journey.
