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.

DEUT943 (Continued from [[NUM392]] Numbers 33:52 destroy BLOCH 63-4). The same admonitory phrase was also used in the second area of concern, the protection of human life (Deuteronomy 19:13, 21). The sanction of the death penalty as a deterrent against murder and other crimes did not violate biblical standards of morality. Indeed, no nation prior to the twentieth century expressed any misgivings about the propriety of capital punishment. Yet as far back as the sixth century B.C.E. the prophet Ezekiel alleged that God is averse to the death penalty. "Have I any pleasure at all the wicked should die?, says the Lord God, and not rather that he should return from his ways and live?" (18:23).
