[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1663856, member: 15338"] [SIZE=1]ooc1: I realised that I have my character running around with a war cry that is incomprehensible to ayone but me in the group! A quick explanation of "Naaseh v' nishmah" (translation- we will do and then listen). The midrash relates that before God gave the torah to the Jewish people he offered it to the nations of the world- each rejected it for a different reason, at least one of the commandments conflicting with their chosen life style. When God came to the Jewish people the they answered (yep- you guessed it" "Naaseh v' Nishmah". The not so literal translation is that they agreed to adopt the whole of the torah, no questions asked - "Naaseh" and then they would seek to understand "Nishmah". However, obedience to Gods law was paramount, understanding it secondary.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
