YHVH the blessed One; Blessed is YHVH, the blessed One for all eternity.

Isa 30:8 And go,
write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it is for a
latter day, a witness forever:
Isa 30:9 that this
is a rebellious people, lying children, children who refuse to hear the Torah
of יהוה,
Isa
30:10 who say to the seers, “Do not
see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right. Speak to us
what is smooth, prophesy deceits. Isa 30:11
“Turn aside from the way, swerve from the path, cause the Set-apart One
of Yisra’ĕl to cease from before us.” Isa 30:12
Therefore thus said the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, “Because you despise
this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on them, Isa
30:13 therefore this crookedness is to
you like a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose breaking comes
suddenly, swiftly.” Isa 30:14 And He
shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel, which is broken in
pieces, without sparing, so that there is not found among its fragments a sherd
to take fire from the hearth, or to take water from the cistern. (Jer 2:13)Isa
30:15 For thus said the Master יהוה (Adonai YHVH), the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, “In returning and
rest you are saved, in stillness and
trust is your strength.” But you would not,
Gen 5:1
This is the book of the genealogy of Aḏam. In the day that Elohim
created man, He made him in the likeness of Elohim. Gen 5:2 Male and female He created them, and He
blessed them, and called their name ‘Aḏam’ in the day they were created. Gen
5:3 And Aḏam lived one hundred and
thirty years, and brought forth a son in his own likeness, after his image, and
called his name Shĕth.
Adam – (S121&S120) – Man – can be man or woman.
“Sheth” (S8352
& 7896) – “Shyth” – to place or appoint.
Gen 5:4 And after
he brought forth Shĕth, the days of Aḏam were eight hundred years. And he
brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:5
So all the days that Aḏam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and
he died.
Gen 5:6 And Shĕth
lived one hundred and five years, and brought forth Enosh.
“Enosh” (S583&582&S605) – Mortal man - desperate,
incurable, desperately wicked – sorrowful or melancholic.
One of the most common titles for Yashua was the “Son of
Adam”. Yahshua is referred to as the Son of Man/Adam 88 times in the Apostolic
scriptures and only 47 times as the Son of Elohim.
Yahshua is also referred to as the second man and the last
Adam 1 Cor 15:45-48
We could then say that the names in this Parasha also tell us a story about Messiah.
“The Son of Man is
appointed to sorrow” This could also
imply that the Son of Man was appointed
to bear on himself the wickedness of men.” See also Is/Yes 53:3
Gen 5:7 And after
he brought forth Enosh, Shĕth lived eight hundred and seven years, and brought
forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:8 So all
the days of Shĕth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.
Gen 5:9 And Enosh
lived ninety years, and brought forth Qĕynan.
Quote: “Qeynan” (S7018(not 7014) & S7064 & S7077) –
possession – chamber or dwelling – to make a nest.
“Another
possibility (and favored by us here at Abarim Publications) is that the name Kenan comes from the verb קין (qin),
meaning to chant a dirge (Amos 8:10). This verb comes from the noun קינה (qina),
meaning lamentation, or a sad poem which is sung (Jeremiah 7:19, Ezekiel 2:10).
A strong clue that the name Kenan (with the troublesome double nun)
indeed comes from this word group lies in the existence of a verb that HAW
Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament gracefully skips but which is well
featured in BDB Theological Dictionary. It's the verb קונן (qwnn),
meaning to chant a dirge (Ezekiel 27:32, 1 Samuel 1:17) – see also
S7015&6969’’
That way the
name Kenan means Lamenter.
However,
through the apparently related name Kenite, Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament
Proper Names notes a relation to the verb קנן (qinnen), meaning to make
a nest (Isaiah 34:15). That way the name Kenan may mean Nester. Perhaps
the cry of the eagle reminded the Hebrews of lamenting. Perhaps the two have
nothing to do with each other.
When man realized his state, he realized his only hope
was to become YHVH’s possession again. Man needed YHVH to come and take
residence within his life. Man’s heart or inner chamber needed to be ruled by
the Ruach of YHVH and nourished by His Torah.
The Ruach of YHVH “nested” in Yahshua – he only did what his
Father showed him.
Something went wrong
with man and could only be repaired if YHVH could enter into man’s life and
restore him again.
So far we have through
the meaning of the names as in order, the sentence: “Man was placed in a desperate situation – he
needed YHVH to come and “nest” in his heart..
Gen 5:10 And after
he brought forth Qĕynan, Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and
brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:11
So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died.
Gen 5:12 And
Qĕynan lived seventy years, and brought forth Mahalal’ĕl.
Mahal-El(S4111) – Praise of El – Yahshua was the praise of
Elohim. Yahshua was our only hope of becoming reconciled to YHVH so that we
could bring YHVH the praise His son gave Him.
Jer 17:14 Heal me, O יהוה, so that I am healed. Save me, so that I am saved, for You are
my praise.
Gen 5:13 After he
brought forth Mahalal’ĕl, Qĕynan lived eight hundred and forty years, and
brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:14
So all the days of Qĕynan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died.
Gen 5:15 And
Mahalal’ĕl lived sixty-five years, and brought forth Yereḏ.“Yared/Yered”
(S3382) to go downward.Gen 5:16 And
after he brought forth Yereḏ, Mahalal’ĕl lived eight hundred and thirty years,
and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:17
So all the days of Mahalal’ĕl were eight hundred and ninety-five years,
and he died.
Gen 5:18 And
Yereḏ lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and brought forth Ḥanoḵ.
“Chanok” S2585 – means dedicated.
Yahshua dedicated himself to deliver humanity from their
frightful predicament.
Gen 5:19 And after
he brought forth Ḥanoḵ, Yereḏ lived eight hundred years, and brought forth
sons and daughters.
Gen 5:20 So all
the days of Yereḏ were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died.
Gen 5:21 And
Ḥanoḵ lived sixty-five years, and brought forth Methushelaḥ.
Methushelach S4968 – “man of the dart” or literally “dying
he shall send”
“Methuselah (Hebrew: מְתוּשֶׁלַח
/ מְתוּשָׁלַח, Modern Metušélaħ / MetušálaħTiberian Məṯûšélaḥ
/ Məṯûšālaḥ ; "Man of the dart/spear", or alternatively
"his death shall bring judgment") is the man reported to have lived
the longest at the age of 969 in the Hebrew Bible. Extra-biblical tradition
maintains that he died on the 11th of Cheshvan of the year 1656AM (Anno Mundi,
after Creation), seven days before the beginning of the Great Flood.”
Gen 5:22 And after
he brought forth Methushelaḥ, Ḥanoḵ walked with Elohim three hundred years,
and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:23
So all the days of Ḥanoḵ were three hundred and sixty-five years.
Gen 5:24 And
Ḥanoḵ walked with Elohim. Then he was no more, for Elohim took him.
Gen 5:25 And
Methushelaḥ lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and brought forth
Lemeḵ.
“Lamech” S3929 – Morfix – to become impoverished.
Etymology and
meaning of the name Lamech
The word למך (lmk)
does not occur in Hebrew, so we are left to guess at its meaning. BDB remains
silent on the subject, but both Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names
and NOBSE Study Bible Name List suggest relations to a Semitic root that
doesn't occur in the Biblical narrative but which also exists in Arabic,
meaning strong and robust young man. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper
Names reads Powerful
To a creative
audience, the name Lamech may also be seen as a construct of the particle ל (le),
meaning to or towards: ‘’מוך’’ The verb מוך (muk) is used to
denote impoverished Israelites and occurs twice: Leviticus 25:47 and 27:8.
Gen 5:26 And after
he brought forth Lemeḵ, Methushelaḥ lived seven hundred and eighty-two years,
and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:27
So all the days of Methushelaḥ were nine hundred and sixty-nine years,
and he died.
Gen 5:28 And
Lemeḵ lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and brought forth a son,
Gen 5:29 and called
his name Noaḥ, saying, “This one does comfort us concerning our work and the
toil of our hands, because of the ground which יהוה has
cursed.”
“Noach”
S5146 – Rest or comfort.
Gen
5:30 And after he brought forth Noaḥ,
Lemeḵ lived five hundred and ninety-five years, and brought forth sons and
daughters. Gen 5:31 So all the days of
Lemeḵ were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.
Gen
5:32 And Noaḥ was five hundred years old,
and Noaḥ brought forth Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yepheth.
So now we can read the sentence coming out of the meaning
of all these names of the genealogy of ADAM: ‘’Man (Adam) is appointed to
sorrow - man opened his heart to the praise of Elohim who came down to
earth and dedicated himself to YHVH, being willing to lay down his life for an
impoverished people and so YHVH gave men rest.’’ Or..
“The Elohim-Man is appointed, a mortal man of sorrow is
born! The Esteem of YHVH shall come down from heaven and teach men that by
means of His death He shall comfort those who mourn.”
This
message also ties in with the Messiah’s first sermon recorded in the book of
Mattityahu/Matthew – see footnote on Yahshua’s sermons and the Torah.
Gen 6:1 And
it came to be, when men began to increase on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born to them,
Gen 6:2 that the
sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men, that they were good. And they took
wives for themselves of all whom they chose. Gen 6:3 And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man
forever in his going astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and
twenty years.” Gen 6:4 The Nephilim were
on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of Elohim came in
to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty
men who were of old, the men of name. Gen 6:5
And יהוה saw that the wickedness of
man was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually. Gen 6:6
And יהוה was sorry that He had made
man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Gen 6:7 And יהוה
said, “I am going to wipe off man whom I have created from the face of the
earth, both man and beast, creeping creature and birds of the heavens, for I am
sorry that I have made them.” Gen 6:8
But Noaḥ found favour in the eyes of יהוה.
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.”
(Blessed are you YHVH, our Elohim, King of the Universe, you
have given us your Torah of truth, and have planted everlasting life within our
midst. Blessed are you, YHVH giver of the Torah – Ameyn)
How the five books of Moshe correspond to Yahshua’s five
sermons in Mattitayahu
1.
The book of Beresheet/Genisis corresponds with
‘’ The Sermon on the Mount (5:1‑7:28) –
“Ha drasha al ha ar”
2. The book of Shemot/Exodus corresponds with
the calling of Yahshua’s disciples -The Messianic family tree (10:1‑42)
Note the similarities between Shemot/Exodus and the
opening verses of Yahshua’s second drasha
Remember the word “Shemot” means “names.”
The same two words are used in the opening chapter of
Exodus – ve ele shemot – “these are the names”
Exo 1:1 And
these are the names….Mat 10:2 – in Hebrew ואלה שמות
Mat
10:2 And these are the names of the
twelve emissaries: first, Shimʽon, who is called Kĕpha, and Andri his
brother; Yaʽaqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother;
The
Parable/Priestly Discourse (13:1‑53)
3.
The book of Vayikra/Leviticus – is about the
calling of a set apart priesthood – a people who hear the call of YHVH to dedicate
themselves to Him and to His Service – “va yikra means and He called” Yahshua
speaks in parables because only those who are called to be set apart priesthood
will understand the parables Yahshua taught.
Mat 13:10 And the
taught ones came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
Mat 13:11 And He
answering, said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the secrets
of the reign of the heavens, but to them it has not been given.
Mat 13:12 “For
whoever possesses, to him more shall be given, and he shall have
overflowingly; but whoever does not
possess, even what he possesses shall be taken away from him.
Mat 13:13 “Because
of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and
hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
Mat 13:14 “And in
them the prophecy of Yeshayahu is completely filled, which says, ‘Hearing you
shall hear and by no means understand, and seeing you shall see and by no means
perceive,
Mat 13:15 for the
heart of this people has become thickened, and their ears are hard of hearing,
and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear
with their ears, lest they should understand with their heart, and turn back,
and I heal them.’
Mat 13:16 “And
blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear,
Mat 13:17 for
truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous ones longed to see what
you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
4. The book of Numbers/Bemidbar is about the ‘’The
Calling and Counting of the Kehelah/Congretation of YHVH (17:22‑18:35)’’
Mat
17:23 and they shall kill Him, and the
third day He shall be raised up.” And they were deeply grieved.
Mat
17:24 And when they came into Kephar
Naḥum, those who received the tax came to Kĕpha and said, “Does your Teacher
not pay the tax?”
Mat
17:25 He said, “Yea.” And when he came
into the house, יהושע spoke to him first, saying,
“What do you think, Shimʽon? From whom do the sovereigns of the earth take toll
or tax, from their own sons or from the strangers?”
Mat
17:26 Kĕpha then said to Him,
“From the strangers.” יהושע said to him, “Then the sons
are exempt.
Mat
17:27 “But, lest we cause them to
stumble, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first.
And when you have opened its mouth, you shall find a piece of money. Take that
and give it to them for Me and you.”
This is
interesting Yahshua is talking about his death and then goes onto paying the
temple tax – is there a connection.
The book of
Bamidbar is about been numbering the redeemed of Yisrael in the wilderness.
This was done by paying a tax – a beka– those who did so were numbered amongst
the redeemed.
The Hebrew word
for numbered is “Gulguletam” where we get the word “Golgatha”
Num 1:2
“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, by
their clans, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every
male, head by head,
ב שְׂאוּ, אֶת-רֹאשׁ כָּל-עֲדַת
בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם, לְבֵית
אֲבֹתָם--בְּמִסְפַּר
שֵׁמוֹת, כָּל-זָכָר לְגֻלְגְּלֹתָם.
Translation – Lift up the head of the sons of Yisrael –
the families of their father’s houses – numbering their names each male by his
skull.
The word “gulgolet” where the name Golgotha(skull) comes
from was a strange way to express the counting of people… only those who were
willing to lay down their lives for the sake of the kingdom would be worth of
being counted.
Mat 22:14 “For
many are called, but few are chosen.”1 Footnote:1See
20:16.
The Apocalyptic
Discourse (24:1‑25:46)
The book of Devarim/Deuteronomy – Words – means words or
things – this book was the entire Torah retold in Moshe’s life and words. He
was able to internalize and reproduce YHVH’s Torah in his own words and
understand them as they related to his own life and death.
Yahshua quoted more from ‘’Devarim’’’than any other book
in the Torah.
The only way we
will understand and survive the last days is if we have internalized the Torah.
Mat 24:3 And as He
sat on the Mount of Olives, the taught ones came to Him separately, saying,
“Say to us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of Your coming, and of the
end of the age?”
Mat 24:4 And יהושע answering, said to them, “Take heed that no one leads you
astray.
Mat
24:5 “For many shall come in My Name,
saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’(anointed one) and they shall lead many astray.
