you have selected us from among all the peoples,

Jas 1:  Do not go astray, my beloved brothers. 
Jas 1:  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of turning. a Footnote: a See Mal_3:6
Jas 1:18 Having purposed it, He brought us forth by the Word of truth, for us to be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures.

This weeks Torah Portion contains the very essence, the DNA of YHVH’s Word – the 10 sayings -‘’asaret ha devarim’’
Pirkei Avot – The Ethics of the Fathers- chapter 5 says with 10 utterances the world was created.

Deu 5:1  And Mosheh called all Yisra’ěl, and said to them, “Hear, O Yisra’ěl, the laws and right-rulings which I speak in your hearing today. And you shall learn them, and guard to do them. 
Deu 5:2  “יהוה our Elohim made(Heb -‘’carat’’ or cut)  a covenant with us in Ḥorěḇ. 

There can be no covenant without the shedding of blood – Exo 24:7  And he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that יהוה has spoken we shall do, and obey.”  Exo 24:8  And Mosheh took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “See, the blood of the covenant which יהוה has made(‘’çarat’’) with you concerning all these Words.”

Heb 9:11  But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters, through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, 
Heb 9:12  entered into the Most Set-apart Place once for all, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, having obtained everlasting redemption. 
Heb 9:13  For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the defiled, sets apart for the cleansing of the flesh, 
Heb 9:14  how much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the everlasting Spirit offered Himself unblemished to Elohim, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim? 
Heb 9:15  And because of this He is the Mediator of a renewed covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance. 
Heb 9:16  For where a covenant is, it is necessary for the death of the covenanted one to be established. 
Heb 9:17  For a covenant over those dead is firm, since it is never valid while the covenanted one is living. 
Heb 9:18  Therefore not even the first covenant was instituted without blood
Heb 9:19  For when, according to Torah, every command had been spoken by Mosheh to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 
Heb 9:20  saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which Elohim commanded you.” Exo_24:8
Heb 9:21  And in the same way he sprinkled with blood both the Tent and all the vessels of the service. 
Heb 9:22  And, according to the Torah, almost all is cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Heb 9:1  Now the first covenant indeed had regulations of worship and the earthly set-apart place. 
Heb 9:2  For a Tent was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, and the table, and the showbread, which is called the Set-apart Place. 
Heb 9:3  And after the second veil, the part of the Tent which is called Most Set-apart, 
Heb 9:4  to which belonged the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that held the manna, and the rod of Aharon that budded, and the tablets of the covenant, 

Please note the word ‘’covenant’’ is written in italics and does not appear in the original manuscripts. We understand the blood of the sacrifices were required for entrance into the ‘’first part’’ but only the blood if Yahshua could gain us access into the ‘’second part’’ the Most Set Apart Place.

Deu 5:3  “יהוה did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today, all of us who are alive. 
Deu 5:4  “יהוה spoke with you face to face on the mountain from the midst of the fire. 
The only time YHVH spoke in an audible voice to His people.
Deu 5:5  “I stood between יהוה and you at that time, to declare to you the Word of יהוה – for you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain – saying: 
Deu 5:6  I am יהוה your Elohim who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage. 
“Anochi” “I and only I alone”
Isa 43:10 …..Before Me there was no Ěl formed, nor after Me there is none.
Isa 43:11  “I, I am יהוה, and besides Me there is no saviour. (Heb moshiah)
Isa 45:5  ‘I am יהוה, and there is none else – there is no Elohim besides Me.
Act 4:12  “And there is no deliverance in anyone else, for there is no other Name under the heaven given among men by which we need to be saved.”
The Gk word “soteria” is often translated “salvation” but means “deliverance or safety.”
Deu 5:7  You have no other mighty ones against My face. 
YHVH has no equals – Not even Yahshua - Php 2:6  who, being in the form of Elohim, did not regard equality with Elohim a matter to be grasped, 

Joh 4:23  “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him. 
Joh 4:24  “Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.” 

Deu 5:8  You do not make for yourself a carved image, any likeness of which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, 
We may not form any other version of the truth that originates from the heavens or the earth or from the waters. This includes the Queen of heaven –

Wikipedia – ‘’Queen of Heaven was a title given to a number of ancient sky goddesses worshipped throughout the ancient Mediterranean and Near East during ancient times. Goddesses known to have been referred to by the title include Inanna, Anat, Isis, Astarte, Hera, and possibly Asherah (by the prophet Jeremiah). In Greco-Roman times Hera, and her Roman aspect Juno bore this title. Forms and content of worship varied. In modern times, the title "Queen of Heaven" is still used by contemporary pagans to refer to the Great Goddess, while Catholics, Orthodox, and some Anglican Christians now apply the ancient title to Mary, the mother of Jesus.’’



See Yer/Jer 44 – the queen of heavens.

It is demonic strongholds over our minds that prevent us from seeing and walking in the truth – see Rev 2:18-29

Deu 5:9  you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, יהוה your Elohim, am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 

Jas 4:4  Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity(hatred) with Elohim?a Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim.

Deu 5:10  but showing loving-commitment to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands. 
Deu 5:11  You do not bring (a) the Name of יהוה your Elohim to naught, for יהוה does not leave him unpunished who brings His Name to naught. Footnote: aOr lift up, or take
Falsely claim revelation from YHVH, and allow others to do so.
Deu 5:12  Guard the Sabbath day, to set it apart, as יהוה your Elohim commanded you. 
Deu 5:13  Six days you labour, and shall do all your work, 
Deu 5:14  but the seventh day is a Sabbathb of יהוה your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, so that your male servant and your female servant rest as you do. Footnote: bSee footnote at Exo_20:10
Deu 5:15  And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Mitsrayim, and that יהוה your Elohim brought you out from there by a strong hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore יהוה your Elohim commanded you to perform the Sabbath day. 
Deu 5:16  Respect your father and your mother, as יהוה your Elohim has commanded you, so that your days are prolonged, and so that it is well with you on the soil which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. 
Deu 5:17  You do not murder. 
Deu 5:18  You do not commit adultery. 
Deu 5:19  You do not steal. 
Deu 5:20  You do not bear false witness against your neighbour. 
Deu 5:21  You do not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor do you desire your neighbour’s house, his field, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbour.’ 
Deu 5:22  “These Wordsc יהוה spoke to all your assembly, in the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a loud voice, and He added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me. Footnote: c“Word(s)" is very often used as a synonym for “command(s),” in the Messianic Writings too. 
Deu 5:23  “And it came to be, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders, 
Deu 5:24  and said, ‘See, יהוה our Elohim has shown us His esteem and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. Today we have seen that Elohim speaks with man – and he lives! 
Deu 5:25  And now why should we die? For this great fire is consuming us. If we hear the voice of יהוה our Elohim any more, then we shall die. 
Deu 5:26  For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living Elohim speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and does live? 
Deu 5:27  You go near and hear all that יהוה our Elohim says, and speak to us all that יהוה our Elohim says to you, and we shall hear and do it.’ 
Deu 5:28  “And יהוה heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and יהוה said to me, ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken. 
Deu 5:29  Oh, that they had such a heart in them, to fear Me and to guard all My commands always, so that it might be well with them and with their children forever! 
Deu 5:30  Go, say to them, “Return to your tents.” 
Deu 5:31  But you, stand here by Me, and let Me speak to you all the commands, and the laws, and the right-rulings which you are to teach them. And they shall do them in the land which I am giving them to possess.’ 
Deu 5:32  “And you shall guard to do as יהוה your Elohim has commanded you – do not turn aside, to the right or to the left. 
Deu 5:33  “Walk in all the ways which יהוה your Elohim has commanded you, so that you live and it be well with you. And you shall prolong your days in the land which you possess. 
Deu 6:1  “And this is the command, the laws and right-rulings which יהוה your Elohim has commanded, to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over to possess, 
Deu 6:2  so that you fear יהוה your Elohim, to guard all His laws and His commands which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days be prolonged. 

Baruch atah YHVH, Eloheynu, Melech ha-‘Olam, asher natan lanu Toraht-emet, v’chay-yeh o’lam nata-b’tochenu. Baruch atah YHVH, noteyn ha-Torah. Ameyn.”
