[music] He says that the word first of all is superflous. It's extra. Why is it for you? And he says it's because it's to tell you that have judges and officers for you. What's you? We have our face gates which are openings. What do we have in our face? We have openings. For example, [music] we have two eyes. We have two ears and we have a mouth. We have to have officers. We have to have judges. Making sure that what we see is proper. Making sure that we hear the right things and not talking and speak hearing or speaking evil. We're hearing [music] evil and bad against others. And of course eating the proper things, making sure it's proper supervision, proper [music] and if we do so, we shall all be all merit complete [music] redemption in our days. Amen.
