(NASB) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\/ \">https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhortation in James 5:13 finds meaningful echoes in the Torah, where affliction is often met with direct appeals to God. We note how the Torah consistently portrays afflicted individuals turning to God in moments of distress. Here are some compelling parallels &#8211; Affliction Leading to Prayer or Crying Out: We read in Genesis 4:26 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cThen men began to call on the name of the LORD.\u201d<\/em><\/span> This early reference suggests that in the wake of suffering and violence (Cain and Abel), people began invoking the name of God which is a foundational moment for prayer. In Exodus 2:23\u201325 the children of Israel\u2019s affliction in Egypt led to a collective cry, which God received as prayer. This sets the tone for divine responsiveness to suffering. In Exodus 14:10\u201315, as Pharaoh\u2019s army approached, the people cried out in fear. Moses intercedes, and God responds with deliverance. Prayer as a Response to Personal Affliction: In Genesis 32:9\u201312 when Jacob, fearing Esau\u2019s wrath, prays:<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em> \u201cDeliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/span> his affliction leads him to a heartfelt petition. In Numbers 12:13 when Miriam is struck with leprosy, Moses cries out: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cO God, please heal her!\u201d<\/em><\/span> A direct and urgent prayer in response to affliction, showing intercessory compassion. God\u2019s Character as One Who Responds to the Afflicted: In Exodus 22:23\u201327 God warns that if the poor or widow cry out due to mistreatment, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cI will surely hear their cry.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Affliction is not ignored; it activates divine justice. Note the similar charge for fair wages in Deuteronomy 24:15. James\u2019 instruction to pray in affliction isn\u2019t a new idea, it\u2019s a continuation of a deeply Torah-rooted principle. This is how the NT and James taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; Torah Concept in the NT: Let the Afflicted Pray &#8211; Episode 566 James 5:13 \u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05de\u05b4\u05db\u05b6\u05bc\u05dd \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05d9\u05b4\u05e1\u05b0\u05d1\u05b9\u05bc\u05dc, \u05d9\u05b4\u05ea\u05b0\u05e4\u05b7\u05bc\u05dc\u05b5\u05bc\u05dc. \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05e9\u05b4\u05c2\u05de\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05dc\u05b4\u05d1\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9, \u05d9\u05b8\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05d9\u05e8 \u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05d9\u05e8\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b7\u05dc\u05b5\u05bc\u05dc. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth James 5:13 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering?
