The Torah emphasizes that worship and prayer must be wholehearted, not outward show. &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Torah Parallels to Matthew 6:5<\/span> &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Heart vs. Lips<\/span> Deuteronomy 10:12\u201313 Israel is commanded to <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cfear the LORD your God, walk in all His ways, love Him, and serve Him with all your heart and soul.\u201d<\/em><\/span> This stresses inner devotion, not outward display. Deuteronomy 6:5 (Shema) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cLove the LORD your God with all your heart, soul, and might.\u201d<\/em><\/span> Prayer and worship must come from genuine love, not performance. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Condemnation of Empty Ritual<\/span> Leviticus 26:14\u201315 warns against despising God\u2019s statutes while pretending obedience. Numbers 11:1 Israel\u2019s complaints are heard by God, showing that insincere speech brings judgment rather than blessing. Moses\u2019 Intercessions, when Moses prays Exodus 32:11\u201314 after the Golden Calf), his prayer is humble, pleading for mercy, not self-glorifying. This models the opposite of hypocritical prayer: sincerity and concern for others. Note how Matthew 6:5 condemns praying <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cto be seen by others\u201d<\/em><\/span> and the Torah commands prayer and worship with heart and soul, never as an empty ritual. These examples from the Torah heighten the explicit warning against hypocritical prayer. Matthew 6:5 is best understood as standing firmly within these Torah principles. This is how Yeshua taught Torah in the NT, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; #Torah Concept in the NT: Do Not Pray as Hypocrites &#8211; Episode 659 Matthew 6:5 \u05f4\u05db\u05b7\u05bc\u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05b6\u05bc\u05dd \u05de\u05b4\u05ea\u05b0\u05e4\u05b7\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05bc\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d0\u05b7\u05dc \u05ea\u05b4\u05bc\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05d5\u05bc \u05db\u05b7\u05bc\u05e6\u05b0\u05bc\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e2\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd, \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05d4\u05b2\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05ea\u05b0\u05e4\u05b7\u05bc\u05dc\u05b5\u05bc\u05dc \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05e2\u05b8\u05de\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05dd \u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05d1\u05b8\u05ea\u05b5\u05bc\u05d9 \u05db\u05b0\u05bc\u05e0\u05b6\u05e1\u05b6\u05ea \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b0\u05e4\u05b4\u05e0\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05dc \u05e8\u05b0\u05d7\u05d5\u05b9\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05dc\u05b0\u05de\u05b7\u05e2\u05b7\u05df \u05d9\u05b5\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b8\u05d3\u05b8\u05dd. \u05d0\u05b8\u05de\u05b5\u05df \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05de\u05b5\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b6\u05dd, \u05e9\u05b0\u05c2\u05db\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05dd \u05d0\u05b4\u05ea\u05b8\u05bc\u05dd. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth Matthew 6:5 6:5 \u201cWhen you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24146,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48,34],"tags":[70,74,272,238],"class_list":{"0":"post-24144","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bits-of-torah-truths","8":"category-video","9":"tag-biblicaltruth","10":"tag-messianicfaith","11":"tag-sincereprayer","12":"tag-torahwisdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24144"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24145,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24144\/revisions\/24145"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
