🌿 Leviticus 25
Leviticus 25 opens with these words: “Yahweh said to Moses in Mount Sinai,” The line to keep is Leviticus 25:17: “You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Yahweh your God.” Carry the word “wrong” from that verse into the rest of the day.
Leviticus 25 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Yahweh said to Moses in Mount Sinai,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “But if he isn’t able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hand of him who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee: and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.” Leviticus 25 opens with these words: “Yahweh said to Moses in Mount Sinai,” The line to keep is Leviticus 25:17: “You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Yahweh your God.” Carry the word “wrong” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Leviticus 25:17: “You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Yahweh your God.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Leviticus 25? Then try this: Read “You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Yahweh your God.” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
“You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Yahweh your God.”
