Stuck between two superpowers, Egypt and Assyria, many in Jerusalem sought to play one off the other. They pinned their hopes on Egypt coming to the aid of the Southern Kingdom. God is furious. Not so much that the people looked to Egypt, but that the people looked to anyone but God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The chapter opens with a biting phrase, calling the people rebellious, using the same root as the infamous rebellious son from Deut. 21:18 (\u201cwayward and defiant son\u201d), whose punishment was death. The idea of executing a rebellious son was so extreme that the Talmud explains that there never actually was a rebellious son who was worthy of death. This added fact makes God\u2019s accusation even more biting. The people are guilty of something so heinous that it never happened - until now. One of the accusations is that the people pervert prophecy:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Who said to the seers, \u2018Do not see,\u2019 To the prophets, \u2018Do not prophesy truth to us; Speak to us falsehoods, Prophesy delusions\u2019\u201d (verse 10).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

God\u2019s standard rebuke concerning his prophets is that the people do not listen to them (cf. Jer. 26:5).\u00a0 Sometimes, God\u2019s rebuke is that the people followed false prophets, as in Isaiah 9:14: \u201cElders and magnates \u2014 Such are the heads; Prophets who give false instruction, Such are the tails.\u201d The first example is simply not listening to God. This is like a child who ignores the words of their parents. The second example is turning towards someone else for information. This is like a child who turns toward a bad influence in place of their parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But God is accusing the people of something far worse here. God accuses the people of deliberately trying to change the words of the prophet. Telling the prophet to change their prophecy means the people are listening to what the prophet says, and simply do not like it. This is a direct confrontation with God, and one that dooms the people to the same fate of the rebellious son.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":75530,"alt":"","title":"ez43-ezekiel prophesying -

Radak, setting the standard for the medieval period, commented:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Most of the exegetes interpreted this verse for the future. Others interpreted it literally and this is incorrect. Some took it as a metaphor for all the future goodness that will occur in the messianic age\u2014and this is correct. However, it is possible to interpret it as a metaphor for the Age of Hezekiah in which they would enjoy abundant goodness following the death of the Assyrian camp and their great salvation. Just as distress is likened to darkness and gloom, as in \u201cthe sun and moon darkened and stars withdrew their light\u201d (Joel 2:10), etc., so is salvation called light.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A comparison with the commentary of Malbim* highlights both the way he continued in the tradition of his predecessors as well as the independence he exhibited as typified, again, by his careful parsing of ostensible synonyms.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It is well-known that distress is compared to nighttime and relief is compared to day. The relief that comes to someone at a time of distress is compared to the light of the moon that shines in the middle of the night, but the success that shines above his head at times of goodness and tranquility is compared to the light of the sun. Accordingly [the prophet] said rhetorically that even the light of the moon, which was the start of the salvation that would follow after the distress and the dark night, would shine as brightly as the sun to the extent that they would immediately forget the distress and it would be as though there had been no night or distress at all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Relief after adversity is a genre of medieval Jewish literature, its prime example being a composition by that name (<\/span>hibbur yafeh me-hayeshu`a<\/span><\/em>) by R. Nissim of Kairouan (11<\/span>th<\/span> century), consisting of some 30 stories featuring this theme.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In Isaiah\u2019s prophecy the nation is rebuked for turning to Egypt for military assistance in their battle against Ashur. So considerable was this sin that God instructed Isaiah to record it for eternal posterity: \u201cwrite it on a tablet and engrave it in a book forever to eternity (30:8).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What exactly were they meant to do? God\u2019s expectation of His people seems counterintuitive for the situation. They are on the brink of battle, the edge of destruction, and God seems to be telling them to do nothing: \u201cYou shall triumph by stillness and quiet; your victory will come through calm and trust (30:15).\u201d We have learned time and again of the importance of pragmatic action. Jacob prepared for war with Esau; Nachson Ben Aminadav stepped into the Red Sea. Does anyone (in their right mind) believe that the modern State of Israel should not work with its neighbours to protect its welfare?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

We understand from our Sages that the sin was not in seeking out military assistance or playing politic, but that those initiatives were to the exclusion of asking God for His assistance. Jacob prepared for war and then concluded his preparations with prayer for divine support, and that is the model that God is demanding.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Malbim interprets this passage to teach us that we can either save ourselves or we can conquer our enemies, with the distinction being between survival and victory. It is through our trust in God that we will ultimately be victorious; otherwise we\u2019re engaging in mere survival techniques. The nation, then and now, that looks for purely political and military solutions, not only illustrates their lack of faith in God, but sells themselves short.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The people\u2019s response to Isaiah\u2019s prophecies of destruction is to say, \u201cStop prophesying truth to us (at least they recognized it as truth), smooth-talk us (30:10).\u201d In other words, \u201ctell us only what we want to hear.\u201c The chapter concludes on a higher note of salvation, with the promise that one day \u201cyour ears shall be bent to hear from Me (a prophet will come and instruct you - Rashi) whether to go left or right\u201d (10:21).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

While we wait for that day, we have this recording of events to remind us of what that way will include: prepare for war, pray, and trust in God - not politics - to pull it all together.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":66481,"alt":"","title":"is30-umbrella","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella.png","width":1920,"height":1910,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-300x298.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":298,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-768x764.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":764,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-1024x1019.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":1019,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1528,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella.png","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1910,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-1200x1194.png","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":1194,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-422x420.png","home_baner-width":422,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"The Synergy Of Pragmatism And Faith","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Trust, pray - and prepare","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":66481,"alt":"","title":"is30-umbrella","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella.png","width":1920,"height":1910,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-300x298.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":298,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-768x764.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":764,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-1024x1019.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":1019,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1528,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella.png","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1910,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-1200x1194.png","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":1194,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-umbrella-422x420.png","home_baner-width":422,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Isaiah","chapter":"30","chapter_main_number":"364","date":"20270120","wall_id":"364"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":[{"term_id":"375","name":"Faith","old_id":"775"},{"term_id":"423","name":"Politics","old_id":"823"}]},{"order":5,"id":"116431","color":"#f6edf6","size":"1","name":"The Tanakh Podcast-Isaiah30 ","post_title":"The Tanakh Podcast-Isaiah30","slug":"the-tanakh-podcast-isaiah30","old_id":"116431","type":"no","iframe":"","writer":{"id":33692,"post_title":"Alex Israel","slug":"33692-2","old_id":"33692","first_name":"Alex","last_name":"Israel","description":"Alex Israel teaches Tanakh at the Pardes Institute, Yeshivat Eretz Hatzvi and Matan, Jerusalem.

Most of the prophecies in this section of the book are designed to reassure the people during the great Assyrian siege, and make sure that they stay strong instead of giving up hope and surrendering. In particular, the prophet often teaches that the people should recognize that their strength comes from God, and not from the Egyptians.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Throughout biblical\u00a0 history, from the Torah (Deut. 17:16), to the exile of the Northern tribes (2 Kings 17), to the exile of the Southern tribes (Ezekiel 17), the Israelites are warned not to rely on Egypt for help \u2013 as the Egyptians are unreliable, and themselves not strong enough to support the people against their enemies. Indeed, the 20<\/span>th<\/span> chapter of our book featured a prediction of Egypt\u2019s destruction as proof that they would not be able to help them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The two linked chapters 30-31 are a lengthy attempt to dissuade the people from turning to Egypt for help, and instead asks them to rely on God. The metaphor of the water reaching the neck, which presaged this time period back in chapter 8 returns here, 30:28, as the people are in the midst of this moment of tragedy and danger. Similarly, the metaphor of Assyria being nothing more than God\u2019s rod or staff from chapter 10 also recurs here 30:31.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThey wish to turn to Egypt \u2013 but they have not asked me\u2026 therefore, the stronghold of Pharaoh will be an embarrassment\u201d (30:2-3). Instead, the people should turn to their God and no longer be concealed from their teachers (30:20) and instead repent before the upcoming day of judgement. The firepit of \u201cTifteh\u201d \u2013 taken by Jewish tradition to be a name for the underworld, named after the Molech fire in southern Jerusalem (Jeremiah 7:31) \u2013 is ready for the enemies of the Jewish people and those that do not repent, alike \u2013 and the time has come for the Jewish people to rededicate themselves to their Creator.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":66489,"alt":"","title":"is30-hope","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope.jpg","width":1920,"height":1440,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1440,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-1200x900.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":900,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-560x420.jpg","home_baner-width":560,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"Giving The People Hope","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"And faith, and a little critical political analysis...","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":66489,"alt":"","title":"is30-hope","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope.jpg","width":1920,"height":1440,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1152,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1440,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-1200x900.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":900,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/is30-hope-560x420.jpg","home_baner-width":560,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"tile_link_for_pay":"0","send_noty":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Isaiah","chapter":"30","chapter_main_number":"364","date":"20270120","wall_id":"364"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":[{"term_id":"375","name":"Faith","old_id":"775"},{"term_id":"423","name":"Politics","old_id":"823"},{"term_id":"451","name":"Hope","old_id":"851"}]},{"order":7,"id":"66470","color":"#e2f4fa","size":"1","name":"National Restoration = Renewal Of Creation ","post_title":"National Restoration = Renewal Of Creation","slug":"national-restoration-renewal-of-creation","old_id":"66470","type":"no","iframe":"","writer":{"id":54356,"post_title":"Robert Alter","slug":"robert-alter","old_id":"54356","first_name":"Robert ","last_name":"Alter","description":"Robert Alter is the Class of 1937 Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature at the University of California at Berkeley, where he has taught since 1967.

30:26 \u201cAnd the light of the moon shall be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold like the light of the seven days when the LORD binds up the breaking of His people and heals its smashing blow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This spectacular increase of natural light is a motif taken up by Second Isaiah and has led some scholars to conclude that at least this line was composed by him, which is a possible but not necessary inference. In any case, the striking hyperbole has invited eschatological readings, and \u201cthe light of the seven days\u201d is clearly a mythological reference to the seven days of creation during which, according to some understandings, the light was more perfect. Creation begins with God\u2019s summoning light to replace the primordial darkness, so a national restoration is imagined in cosmic terms as a kind of renewal of creation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  1. At least he\u2019s consistent<\/em>. 30 years, and 23 chapters ago (Is. 7), during the reign of King Ahaz, Isaiah proposed the same political stance: trust God, and don\u2019t play politics. Faith is the true bravery, since God is the only ally in the whole region who can be relied upon. Hezekiah, like Ahaz before him, did not adopt this approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  2. What a waste of money<\/em>. Besides the fact that the strength of the Egyptians can\u2019t be relied upon, there was a huge financial outlay involved, with a high degree of unnecessary risk. Verse 6 describes the dangers that the delegation to Egypt is exposed to, which conveys \u201ctheir wealth on the backs of asses, Their treasures on camels\u2019 humps, To a people of no avail.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Pride strikes again<\/em>. This time it is Egypt that is afflicted with pride (verse 7). This pride creates an illusion of might, but in fact \u201cThey are a threat that has ceased,\u201d and will not come through in time of need.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Pride and its remedy<\/em>. Remember the high mountains, the lofty peaks and the towers that in chapter 2 symbolized human pride? Check out verse 25 \u201ca day of heavy slaughter, when towers topple.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  5. Signed, sealed, delivered<\/em>. When God feels that the prophet has no one to speak to, he commands him to write everything down on a tablet, for posterity. The truth will out (verse 8).<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","post_main_content_image":{"id":86314,"alt":"","title":"Points to ponder","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","width":1000,"height":1000,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-768x768.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":1000,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":1000,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":1000,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","post_full_size-width":1000,"post_full_size-height":1000,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-420x420.jpg","home_baner-width":420,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"Isaiah 30","tile_main_caption":"Points to Ponder","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Insights and questions for personal reflection and group discussion","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":86314,"alt":"","title":"Points to ponder","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","width":1000,"height":1000,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-768x768.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":1000,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":1000,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":1000,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","post_full_size-width":1000,"post_full_size-height":1000,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-420x420.jpg","home_baner-width":420,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"tile_link_for_pay":"0","send_noty":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Isaiah","chapter":"30","chapter_main_number":"364","date":"20270120","wall_id":"364"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":false}],"hide_acf":true,"home_image":false,"home_posts":false,"home_posts_title":"","posts_home":[],"static_cube_title":"","static_cube_brief":"","static_cube_color":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wall\/65949"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wall"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wall"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
