Mouth to Mouth


Mouth to Mouth

Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr



Exd. 33:11a "And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend."



The Phrase "face to face" in the Hebrew is more accurately translated, "mouth to mouth." The Scriptures are the very words of YHWH Elohim Himself.



When we read His Word He is speaking to us face to face, or mouth to mouth. When we pray to Him it is we who are speaking to Him face to face, or mouth to mouth.



Couples who are in love and close to one another kiss each other opened mouth. And so when we engage in reading Scripture and Prayer it is as if we are being intimate with the GOD of the Universe.



Gen. 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.



When we read His Word He is speaking to us face to face, or mouth to mouth. When we pray to Him it is we who are speaking to Him face to face, or mouth to mouth.



When one is in distress and cannot breathe on ones own, another will give what is called "mouth to mouth resuscitation.” Therefore when we read His Word, the GOD of the Universe is giving us spiritual "mouth to mouth resuscitation.”
