Talmud for Psalms 95:7

כִּ֘י ה֤וּא אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַ֣ם מַ֭רְעִיתוֹ וְצֹ֣אן יָד֑וֹ הַ֝יּ֗וֹם אִֽם־בְּקֹל֥וֹ תִשְׁמָֽעוּ׃

For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, and the flock of His hand. To-day, if ye would but hearken to His voice!

Jerusalem Talmud Taanit

96Slightly differently and in the name of R. Levi Cant. rabba5(2); cf. Babli Sanhedrin98a. Rebbi Aḥa in the name of Rebbi Tanḥum ben Rebbi Ḥiyya: If Israel would repent on one day, David’s son would immediately come. What is the reason? Today, if you will listen to His voice97Ps.95:7.. 98Midrash Ps.95[3]; cf. Babli Šabbat118b. Rebbi Levi said, if Israel would keep one Sabbath following its rules, David’s son would immediately come. What is the reason? Moses said, eat it today, for Sabbath is this day to the Eternal99Ex. 16:25., etc. One day. And it says, by repentance and satisfaction you will be helped64Is. 30:15. The interpretation agrees with the interpretation in Targum Jonathan ben Uziel.. By keeping the Sabbath and staying put you will be freed.
