Song for Parshat Matot

Lyrics

Moshe was told to command
All the heads of the shevatim
They should clearly understand
The laws of promises of nedarim

If a promise you must say it should be kept right away
Keep your word don’t take too long don’t take too long
If a promise you must say it should be kept right away
Keep your word don’t take too long don’t take too long

Although we may find it hard
The lesson we learn is clear
Our tongues we must guard
And choose our words with care

Some of the shevatim had many sheep
And needed land for their cattle
Yet their promise they did keep
To join Bnei Yisroel in their battle

If a promise you must say it should be kept right away
Keep your word don’t take too long don’t take too long
If a promise you must say it should be kept right away
Keep your word don’t take too long don’t take too long
