(Exodus 15:1-2 TLV)
The Haftarah
Then Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang on that day saying: “When leaders take the lead in Israel, when people freely offer themselves, bless Adonai! Listen, O kings! Give ear, O rulers! I, to Adonai I will sing, I will sing praise to Adonai, the God of Israel.
(Judges 5:1-3 TLV)
The Brit Chadasha
Then I saw thrones, and people sat upon them—those to whom authority to judge was given. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Yeshua and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image, nor had they received his mark on their forehead or on their hand. And they came to life and reigned with the Messiah for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.
(Revelation 20:4-5 TLV)
