Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is pardoned.

Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said: “I confess my transgressions to Adonai,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

In Ki Tetze
The Key Person is Moshe (Moses), speaking to all Yisra’el (Israel).
The Scene is the wilderness east of the Promised Land, ready to cross over the Yarden (Jordan).
The Main Events include more of Moshe’s words: marrying women prisoners of war, rights of a firstborn, consequences of a rebellious son, miscellaneous laws, tsitsit, sexual purity, restrictions on joining the assembly, avoiding impurities, more laws about loans, vows, divorce, newlyweds, skin disease, poor people, business practices, and removal of Amalekites.
For Adonai your God walks in the midst of your camp, to rescue you and to give your enemies over to you. Therefore your camp must be holy, so that He does not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.
(Deuteronomy 23:15 TLV)
The Haftarah
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief, One from whom people hide their faces. He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our pains. Yet we esteemed Him stricken, struck by God, and afflicted. But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities. The chastisement for our shalom was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
(Isaiah 53:3-5 TLV)
The Brit Chadasha
Pharisees came up to Yeshua, testing Him and saying, “Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?”
Haven’t you read?” He answered. “He who created them from the beginning ‘made them male and female’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’
(Matthew 19:3-5 TLV)
