Tefila Shacharit
Presented By: Rav Mordechai Gershon Written by: Ori Engelman
In the morning prayers, we recite Mizmor Hodu taken from Divrei HaYamim I Perek 16 pesukim 8-36.
Question
1. What is the meaning of the terms “cḥevel” (“portion,” also meaning “rope”) and “nacḥala” (inheritance) which appear in the posuk?
2. Being the holiest Land in the world, why does the posuk use the phrase “the land of Canaan"?
Answers
1. The Land of Canaan refers to the material and mundane aspects, while “cḥevel” relates to connecting these aspects to spiritual level and “nacḥala” implies the source of all goodness and blessings.
2. Since the Land of Israel is the source of holiness and blessing, it is the place to elevate the material and the mundane.
