Before accessing the excerpts, please review a word about copyright.

Are you more of an "I'll dive right in and figure it out" person, or a "Show Me How This Thing Works" person?  If the former, go right ahead and try the excerpts browers on the right side of this page and/or scroll through the excerpts that start below the following information -- although we still suggest reading the information first.  If you are the latter, click here for a video demonstrating the Excerpts Browser. Either way (or both), enjoy! 

This page is recommended for searches limited to specific Torah books, weekly portions (parshiot), chapters, verses, and/or sources (authors). For keyword and/or for exact phrase (including verse and source) searches of the entire excerpts database, we recommend using the Search Engine page.  For broadest results, use both pages and alternative search strategies. 

This page displays the full text of all or "sorted" (filtered) excerpts in the database.  Use the "Torah Verses" and/or "Excerpt Sources" browsers at the right to locate the excerpts associated with your desired Torah book, portion, chapter. verse, or author.  Or, simply scroll through the excerpts, using the "boxes" at the bottom of any page displaying excerpts to "jump" ahead or back. 

Also note that immediately below the chapter, verse, and keyword of each excerpt is a highlighted line comprised of multiple links.  Clicking on any of the links will limit (filter) the excerpts display to the selected category.  

Transcription of excerpts is incomplete.  For current status, please see "Transcribed Sources" on the Search Engine page.  To assist with completion, please see "Contributors" page.

GEN382 If we look into the Bible, from the very first we see that God monitors the actions of man.  After he sins man tries to hide from God, but to no avail, since God is aware of all the actions of Adam and Eve.  When Cain tries to “pay dumb” with God after killing Abel, God says that He hears Abel’s blood screaming from the ground. Genesis 4:9-10.  In Jeremiah 23:24, God asks rhetorically if it is possible for man to hide himself and for God not to know.  Psalms 44:22 says that God knows all secrets in man’s heart.  In his parting words to his son Solomon 1 Chronicles 28:9, King David admonishes his son to obey God fully because God knows all the emotions in man’s heart and all thoughts in man’s head.  One of the basic principles of Judaism, set forth by Maimonides, is that God is indeed aware of all of man’s actions and knows all the thoughts of each person. Principles of Faith #10.  Not only is God aware of man’s thought and actions, but these actions are recorded.  When a person dies, this “videotape” plays back man’s entire life, for him to be judged after death.  Taanit 11a.  It is clear, then, that the Jewish view is that God does indeed watch us always and is aware of our thoughts and deeds.  AMEMEI 84
