Star Spangled Banner
O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Parsha Summary
Moses sends twelve spies to the land of Canaan. Forty days
later they return, carrying a huge cluster of grapes, a
pomegranate and a fig to report on a lush and bountiful land.
But ten of the spies warn that the inhabitants of the land are
giants and warriors ―more powerful than we‖; only Caleb and
Joshua insist that the land can be conquered, as God has
commanded.
The people weep that they’d rather return to Egypt. God
decrees that Israel’s entry into the Land shall be delayed forty
years, during which time that entire generation will die out in
the desert. A group of remorseful Jews storm the mountain on
the border of the Land, and are routed by the Amalekites and
Canaanites.
The laws of the menachot (meal, wine and oil offerings) are
given, as well as the mitzvah to consecrate a portion of the
dough (challah) to God when making bread. A man violates
the Shabbat by gathering sticks, and is put to death. God
instructs to place fringes (tzitzit) on the four corners of our
garments, so that we should remember to fulfill the mitzvoth
(divine commandments).

Haftarah Summary
This week's haftarah tells the story of the spies that Joshua
sent to scout the city of Jericho, prior to the Israelites' invasion of
the Holy Land, a point in common with this week’s Torah
reading, which discusses the twelve spies that were sent by
Moses years earlier to explore the Holy Land.
Joshua sent two spies to Jericho, where they lodged at an inn
located in the city's walls, operated by a woman named Rahab.
Their presence was quickly discovered by the king who sent for
Rahab and asked her to turn in her guests. Rahab responded
that her guests had already left the city -- when actually she had
hidden them on her rooftop.
"And she said to the men, I know that God has given you the
land, and that your terror has fallen upon us, and that all the
inhabitants of the land have melted away because of you. For
we have heard how God dried up the water of the Red Sea for
you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two
kings of the Amorites that were on the other side of the Jordan,
Sihon and Og, whom you completely destroyed."
At Rahab's request, the two spies assured her that she and
her family would not be harmed during the conquer of Jericho-provided that she would tie a scarlet thread and hang it from her
window. This would be a symbol that this home is a safe haven.
Rahab helped the men escape via a rope she lowered from her
window and told them how to hide from possible pursuers. The
spies escaped safely and returned to report to Joshua.
