(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 joyful exhortation in James 5:13 resonates beautifully with Torah themes, even if the word <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cpsalm\u201d<\/em><\/span> isn\u2019t explicitly used in the Five Books of Moses. The Torah consistently links joy with vocal or musical expressions of praise. Here are some compelling parallels &#8211; Joy Expressed Through Song and Praise: In Exodus 15:1\u20132 after crossing the Red Sea, the people\u2019s joy erupts into song, a spontaneous response to divine deliverance. This is one of the earliest biblical examples of communal praise through music. In Deuteronomy 31:19\u201322 God commands Moshe to write a song (Shirat Ha\u2019azinu) as a witness for Israel. In Numbers 10:10 we read <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cAlso in the day of your gladness\u2026 you shall blow the trumpets\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/span> illustrating how musical instruments are used to mark joyful occasions, linking celebration with singing praise. Joy as a Spiritual State Worthy of Expression: In Deuteronomy 12:7 we read <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cAnd there you shall eat before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/span> and so it is commanded to worship in song, especially during feasts and offerings. (see Deuteronomy 16:14\u201315, similar exhortation) While the Psalms themselves are post-Torah compositions, the Torah lays the groundwork for their themes \u2014 joy, praise, deliverance, and musical worship. James\u2019 encouragement to sing psalms when happy is a natural outgrowth of this Torah theme: joy should overflow into praise, and praise should be directed to God. 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 Those Who are Happy Sing Psalms &#8211; Episode 567 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?
