opening remarks
Matthew 10:34-39 TLV “Do not think that I came to bring shalom on the earth; I did not come to bring shalom, but a sword. (35) For I have come to set ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; (36) and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.’ (37) “He who loves father or mother more than Me isn’t worthy of Me, and he who loves son or daughter more than Me isn’t worthy of Me. (38) And whoever does not take up his cross and follow after Me isn’t worthy of Me. (39) He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

1 Samuel 24:1-11 TLV Now when Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, they told him saying, “Look, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.” (2) So Saul took 3,000 chosen men from all Israel and went to search for David and his men near the rocks of the mountain goats. (3) When he came across the sheepfolds along the way where there was a cave, Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were already sitting in the innermost parts of the cave. (4) So David’s men said to him, “Look, it’s the day Adonai spoke to you about, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, so you may do to him as seems good in your eyes.’” Then David crept and cut off the corner of Saul’s robe stealthily. (5) But afterward, David’s conscience bothered him for cutting off the edge of Saul’s robe. (6) So he said to his fellow men, “Adonai forbid that I should do such a thing to my lord, Adonai’s anointed, stretching out my hand against him—for he is Adonai’s anointed.” (7) So David persuaded his fellow men with these words and did not let them rise against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and went on his way. (8) David also rose afterward, went out of the cave, and called out after Saul saying, “My lord the king!” When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth and prostrated himself. (9) Then David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to men’s words saying: ‘Look, David intends you harm’? (10) Look, today your own eyes should see how Adonai delivered you today into my hand, in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but my eye had pity on you, and I said: ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is Adonai’s anointed.’ (11) Moreover, my father, see! Yes, look at the corner of your robe in my hand! For in cutting off the corner of your robe, yet not killing you, you should know and realize that there is no evil or rebellion in my hand. I haven’t sinned against you, even though you are lying in wait for my life, to take it.

Matthew 23:2-5 TLV saying, “The Torah scholars and Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses. (3) So whatever they tell you, do and observe. But don’t do what they do; for what they say, they do not do. (4) They tie up heavy loads, hard to carry, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them. (5) All their works they do to be noticed by men. They make their tefillin wide and their tzitziyot long.

1 Corinthians 11:1-7 TLV Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Messiah. (2) Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firm the traditions just as I passed them on to you. (3) But I want you to know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is God. (4) Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered dishonors his head. (5) But every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered dishonors her head. For it is one and the same as having been shaved. (6) For if a woman does not cover her head, let her cut off her hair. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, let her cover her head. (7) For surely a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of man.

2 Samuel 15:30-32 TLV Then David continued to go up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he ascended. He had his head covered and was walking barefoot. So all the people with him each covered his head as they went up, weeping as they ascended. (31) Then someone told David saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David prayed, “Adonai, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.” (32) Then David went on until he reached the summit—where God was worshiped—and behold, Hushai the Archite met him with his coat rent and dust on his head.
