Torah Portion
This Torah Portion goes from Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25
In our previous Torah portion we talked about God’s mercy.
How His mercy does not always looks the way we want
That He is merciful by character
That his mercy comes as a result to our responses and choices
That there is a correlation between experiencing His compassion (mercy) and obeying
11 Characteristics of the 11th hour believer
Mercy is not grace -but gets confused as such
Mercy and Grace
Mercy - not to get what we deserve
Grace - to get what we do not deserve

עֵקֶב ekev (784c); from an unused word; consequence, as a consequence of, because:—because(3), because*(7), end(2), reward(2).
Robert L. Thomas, New American Standard Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Dictionaries : Updated Edition (Anaheim: Foundation Publications, Inc., 1998).
Because - speaks of a consequence
Numbers 14:24 (NKJV)
But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.
2 Samuel 12:10 (NKJV)
Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’
Deuteronomy 7:12 (NKJV)
“Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers.
The Lord will keep His covenant and mercy, which He swore to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob because:
You listen to these judgements (mishpatim/ ordinances)
You keep them
You do them
Keep vs do = Keep is to honour (cannot keep all the commandments - eg.
Levites, High Priest, Farmer) but I must honour them
Do all the commandments requires action (Jam 1:22)
Mercy given to the one who repents BECAUSE he listens to the law (judgements)
God will keep the covenant: The Old Covenant and the New Covenant
TORAH PORTION
Continues
But there are consequences for not keeping and doing the commandments
Consider:
Genesis 3:15 (NKJV)
And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
Because there was enmity between two
The Lord will bruise the serpents head
The serpent will bruise the Lord’s heel.
Not only does EKEV mean
BECAUSE and IF = עקב (Ayin, Koph, Beit) (Ekev)

Genesis 25:20–26 (NKJV)
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.
Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?”
So she went to inquire of the Lord.
And the Lord said to her: “Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.”
So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.
And the first came out red.
He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.
Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob.
Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
HEEL = עקב (Akev)
Heel
(Ayin, Koph, Beit ) (EKEV), but also (Ayin, Koph, Beit ) (Akev)
By adding the YOD
JACOB = יעקב (Yud, Ayin, Koph, Beit) (Yaakov)
Genesis 25:26 (NKJV)
Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob.
Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
Took his heel
Yod (also means Hand) - Is Jacob a heel grabber?
Snakes and scorpions attack your heel
The name Jacob or YAAKOV means according to the dictionary:
Jaakobah (ja-ak’-o-bah) = A helper; supplanter; supplanting; to Jacob.
He will seek to over reach.
Stelman Smith and Judson Cornwall, The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names (North Brunswick, NJ: Bridge-Logos, 1998), 116.
There are names that change in form when you translate them, and sometimes change in meaning.
Eg.
Omar (Eloquent Speaker) But in Hebrew (amar- means “He will declare”
A Jewish person would interpret YAAKOV as TO FOLLOW AFTER GOD
SUPPLANTER (Merriam Webster)
