Welcome. Parashat “Haazinu 5785 (2025): Why Do the Servants Sing?” covers the Song of Moshe, the Song of David, and the song of the twenty-four elders of Revelation five. We see how Yehoshua ben Nun was chosen to lead Israel into the Promise Land and how this corresponds with the prophecies of Mashiach Nagid.
Intro
Mattityahu (Matthew) 6:9-10
9 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, set Your name apart.
10 “Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven…”
Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 37:16-17
16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’
17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.”
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:1-2
1 Then Moshe went and spoke these words to all Israel.
2 And he said to them: “I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I can no longer go out and come in. Also Yahweh has said to me, ‘You shall not cross over this Yarden.’
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:22-23
22 Therefore Moshe wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.
23 Then He inaugurated Yehoshua ben Nun, and said, “Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I swore to them, and I will be with you.”
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:24-25
24 “So it was, when Moshe had completed writing the words of this Torah in a book, when they were finished,
25 that Moshe commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying:
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:26-27
26 “Take this Book of the Torah, and put it beside the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your Elohim, that it may be there as a witness against you;
27 “for I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against Yahweh, then how much more after my death?
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:28
28 “Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to witness against them.
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:29
29 “For I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And evil will befall you in the latter days, because you will do evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.”
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 31:30
30 Then Moshe spoke in the hearing of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song until they were ended:

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 32:1-2

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 32:3-4

Haftarah portion
Ha’azinu: Haftarah (Wikipedia)
The haftarah for the parashah is the song of David, 2 Samuel 22:1–51 (which is nearly identical to Psalm 18). Both the parashah and the haftarah set out the song of a great leader. Both the parashah (in Deuteronomy 32:4, 15, 18, 30, and 31) and the haftarah (in 2 Samuel 22:2, 3, 32, and 47) refer to God as a “Rock.”Ha’azinu: Haftarah (Wikipedia)
Both the parashah (in Deuteronomy 32:4, 15, 18, 30, and 31) and the haftarah (in 2 Samuel 22:2, 3, 32, and 47) refer to God as a “Rock.” Both the parashah (in Deuteronomy 32:4) and the haftarah (in 2 Samuel 22:24, 26, and 33) use the Hebrew word תָּמִים, tamim, to refer to God or David as “perfect,” “blameless,” or “secure.”Shemuel Bet (Second Samuel) 22:1
1 Then David spoke to Yahweh the words of this song, on the day when Yahweh had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Shaul.Shemuel Bet (Second Samuel) 22:4
4 I will call upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.Shemuel Bet (Second Samuel) 22:21-22
21 Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
22 “For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, And have not wickedly departed from my Elohim.Shemuel Bet (Second Samuel) 22:41-43
41 You have also given me the necks of my enemies, So that I destroyed those who hated me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; Even to Yahweh, but He did not answer them.
43 Then I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I trod them like dirt in the streets, And I spread them out.Shemuel Bet (Second Samuel) 22:47
47 “Yahweh lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let Elohim be exalted, The Rock of my salvation!Shemuel Bet (Second Samuel) 22:48-49
48 It is Elohim who avenges me, And subdues the peoples under me;
49 He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.Shemuel Bet (Second Samuel) 22:50
50 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh, among the Gentiles, And sing praises to Your name.
51 “He is the tower of salvation to His king, And shows mercy to His anointed, To David and his descendants forevermore.”
Brit Chadasha portion:
Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:1-2
1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
2 Then I saw a strong messenger proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:3-4
3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:5
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:6-7
6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim sent out into all the earth.
7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:8
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:9-10
9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to Elohim by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 “And have made us kings and priests to our Elohim; And we shall reign on the earth.”Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:11-12
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many messengers around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:13
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”Hitgalut (Revelation) 5:14
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amein!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.Yehezqel (Ezekiel) 37:16-17
16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’
17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.”
Shabbat shalom.
