brilliant. (i am starting to sound redundant here). but as a longtime catholic, now anglican, married for three decades to a jewish man, i find your close close read of Torah and Hebrew, and the interplay between Christianity and Judaism to be so critical and so long overdue. your willingness to name the mis-readings sharpens the point. week by week, i find myself wanting to be perched in your pews. thank you.

The word that came to my mind in your rendering of the imperative "keep" was "protect." Like the mandate for those who are officers of the law in our communities: Serve and Protect. We protect what we love (treasure) and deem valuable, of great worth. It goes to Jesus' saying: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Thank you for another stunning exegesis to live by.
