The Shema is one of the most important prayers in Judaism but has such deep significance for us as Christians too! From Deuteronomy 6:4-9, this is the answer Jesus gave when he was asked what the greatest commandment is! ROOTS EPISODE 3 SUMMARY HOW TOJesus asked the kids if they know how to pray the Shema and they all responded by reciting it. But the Hamotzi isn’t only said before a Shabbat meal, it’s said before all meals to thank God for his provisions. I covered this prayer in detail in my post about The Chosen: Season 1, Episode 2 when I explained the aspects of the traditional Shabbat being observed in that episode. The HaMotziīefore eating, we see Jesus recite this prayer:īlessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth. This blessing is then followed by the Shema in response to the command to “talk of these words when you lie down…” (Deut. Praised are You, Lord whose glory gives light to the entire world. May I awaken to the light of a new day, that my eyes may behold the splendor of Your light. Let my sleep be undisturbed by troubling thoughts, bad dreams, and wicked schemes.

The name Joshua comes from the Hebrew verb yasha (יָשַׁע), which means “he saved”, combined with God’s name, יהוה (sometimes pronounced Yahweh). It makes sense that Jesus shows special attention to the little boy’s name because it’s the same as Jesus’s! It’s so cute that Jesus calls the little boy “Joshua the brave”. The meaning of the word Abigail is “my father is joy”. After Nabal died, David took Abigail as one of his wives. Basically, her husband, Nabal was not a good man but her intelligence and quick thinking saved them when her husband was rude to King David’s servants. It’s a beautiful name but do you know the story behind it? You can read it in 1 Samuel 25. So Capernaum can also be called the “village of comfort”. The word Nahum can also be to have compassion or to comfort. The word Capernaum is made up of two Hebrew words: Capar, meaning village and Nahum meaning “to be sorry”.
