This is Keith Johnson with Nehemia Gordon, ready to take another peek into the Prophets to not only see, but we are sure we’re going to find some pearls to share with you. Keith: Shalom chaverim shelanu! That means “Peace to you, our friends,” in Hebrew. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. You are listening to Prophet Pearls with Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson. Prophet Pearls #9 - Vayeishev (Amos 2:6-3:8) I look forward to reading your comments! 'A lion has roared! Who will not fear?

Gordon and Johnson also take a look at Amos’s question of two people walking together. But could the sins of Joseph’s older brothers have reaped a 20 th century whirlwind?
