          <english>God tells the Jewish Nation in the Torah: &lt;b&gt;It will be&lt;/b&gt; that &lt;b&gt;if you listen&lt;/b&gt; to Me and keep all of My &lt;b&gt;commandments that I am commanding you today,&lt;/b&gt; to &lt;b&gt;love the Lord, your God, and to serve Him&lt;/b&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; by praying properly &lt;b&gt;with all of your heart and all of your soul;&lt;/b&gt; then I will bless you with the following blessings: &lt;b&gt;I will give rain for your land at the right times&lt;/b&gt;—when people are not outside, such as on Friday night. I will bring you &lt;b&gt;the early rain,&lt;/b&gt; which falls right after the seeds have been planted, &lt;b&gt;and also the late rain,&lt;/b&gt; which falls after the plants have sprouted, to help them grow well. &lt;b&gt;You will collect&lt;/b&gt; all of &lt;b&gt;your grain, wine, and oil,&lt;/b&gt; and none will be taken by your enemies. &lt;b&gt;I will put&lt;/b&gt; plenty of &lt;b&gt;grass in your fields,&lt;/b&gt; so you will not have to move &lt;b&gt;your animals&lt;/b&gt; to another place to feed them. Not only will you be blessed with food, but &lt;b&gt;you will eat&lt;/b&gt; it &lt;b&gt;and you will be satisfied&lt;/b&gt; by it.</english>

          <text>1 This verse alludes to the various stages of one&apos;s life. Before the soul comes down into this world, it is &quot;sitting in its house,&quot; near God, studying Torah. It then &quot;travels on its way,&quot; down into a body in this world. Eventually the body &quot;lies down&quot; in the grave, and it will &quot;rise&quot; again in the &quot;morning&quot;—the era of Redemption—when the dead are resurrected. Throughout this journey, our involvement in Torah protects us.</text>

          <text>2 The phrase &quot;to serve Him&quot; implies that we must carry out God&apos;s will as a servant carries out the will of his master: with complete dedication and without any personal agenda. Furthermore, the Hebrew word for &quot;servant,&quot; עֶבֶד, shares its root with the term עִיבּוּד, which refers to the difficult process of turning animal hide into parchment. Our service of God, too, requires hard spiritual work: transforming our hearts so that we have feelings of spiritual pleasure instead of physical pleasure. This can be achieved by developing feelings of love and fear toward God.</text>
