Shabbat shalom, saints!

Watch for the number three! Can you count them? [Hint: you have to look at the Hebrew.] Curl up on the sofa and prepare to feast!

5. I will take you to Me for a people.
6. I will be your God.
7. You shall know that I am the LORD your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
