Bar’chu et YHVH ha-m’vorach, Baruch YHVH ha-m’vorach l’O’lam va-ed!
Baruch ata YHVHEloheinu melech ha-olam asher bachar banu m’kol ha-amim, v’na-tan lanu eht Torah-to. Baruch atah YHVH, noteyn ha-Torah. Ameyn.”
(Bless YHVH the blessed One; Blessed is YHVH, the blessed One for all eternity. Blessed are you, YHVH, our Elohim, King of the Universe, you have selected us from among all the peoples, and have given us your Torah.)
According to the sages the three most important gifts YHVH gave His people can only come after much suffering - the Torah, the land of Yisrael and the coming Messianic age.
These sages sadly omit that the most precious gift ever given to man was Yahshua Ha Mashiach – he too endured unimaginable suffering in order to reconcile us to His Father and establish and unite the assembly of called out ones - to return them to the promised land; to the Torah and to be a blessing to all the nations of the world.
Pharoah is a kind of satan, an ‘’anti-Christ’’ his name means “great house; great Civilization; Joining; Confederation.
‘’The greatest error of the United States of Egypt was that it didn't follow her dreamers (Yosef) but instead valued the concerns of her lesser visionaries, who insisted that national security comes from centralized treasuries (Exodus 1:11). People who understand money know that wealth comes from money's velocity (money moving in righteous directions ) People who don't understand money believe that wealth comes from hoarding money in vaults. Bad mistake.
An unrighteous government aims for its own survival and works to restrict free trade and does not allow the people to develop the maturity to self-govern. Such a government enslaves its people and harvests it for its labour’’

Exo 6:2 And Elohim spoke to Mosheh and said to him, “I am יהוה.
“Hava” (hey vav hey)means “cause to exist” – YHVH will cause everything to exist that needs to exist to bring about our complete redemption and perfection. This includes the existence of Satan and evil.
“Hava” can also mean to destroy – YHVH will also destroy anything that prevents or hinders His Will and redemption of His ‘’called out ones’’ from being fully accomplished.
“Hove” which is the same root – hey vav hey – can also mean the ‘’present time’’ YHVH is not bound by space and time, therefore for Him everything is in the present. He is the same yesterday, today and forever -
Exo 6:3 “And I appeared (Va-era) to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, as Ěl Shaddai. And by My Name, יהוה, was I not known to them?
The title of this portion is a Hebrew Hiphil verb or a “causative verb”. In other words, the revelation of YHVH come from His initiative, not man's.
“YHVH” is not one of “God’s” names – it is His only Name. Other titles, like “El Shaddai,”'' El, Elohah or Elohim'' Yahuah Yireh etc are not strictly names but means of describing YHVH. Previously YHVH made Himself known through Avraham, Yitzchak and Yakov. YHVH was now also going to reveal Himself through a nation of people called ‘’Yisrael’’ This nation would then reveal YHVH to all other nations.
Eze 20:5 “And you shall say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “On the day when I chose Yisra’ĕl and lifted My hand in an oath to the seed of the house of Yaʽaqoḇ, and made Myself known to them in the land of Mitsrayim, I lifted My hand in an oath to them, saying, ‘I am יהוה your Elohim.’
Eze 20:6 “On that day I lifted My hand in an oath to them, to bring them out of the land of Mitsrayim into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, the splendour of all lands.
In other words, our complete knowing and understanding His Name and Person only comes as we see it and experience it in the context of His Restored People -Yisrael .
Eph 1:15 For this reason I too, having heard of your belief in the Master יהושע and your love for all the set-apart ones,
Eph 1:16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
Eph 1:17 that the Elohim of our Master יהושע Messiah, the Father of esteem, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
Eph 1:18 the eyes of your understanding[b] being enlightened, so that you know what is the expectation of His calling, and what are the riches of the esteem of His inheritance in the set-apart ones, Footnote: b Luk_24:45. (note this is a joint inheritance)
Eph 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who are believing, according to the working of His mighty strength,
Eph 1:20 which He wrought in the Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,
Eph 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and mastery, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
Eph 1:22 And He put all under His feet, Psa_8:6 and gave Him to be head over all, to the assembly, (Messiah Yahshua is now the appointed ruler of Yisrael)
Eph 1:23 which is His body, the completeness of Him who fills all in all.
Eph 2:20 having been built upon the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, יהושע Messiah Himself being chief corner-stone,
Eph 2:21 in whom all the building, being joined together, grows into a set-apart Dwelling Place in יהוה,
Eph 2:22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of Elohim in the Spirit.
Eph 3:7 of which I became a servant according to the gift of the favour of Elohim given to me, according to the working of His power.
Eph 3:8 To me, the very least of all the set-apart ones, this favour was given, to bring the Good News of the unsearchable riches of Messiah among the nations,
Eph 3:9 and to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Elohim who created all through יהושע Messiah,[b] Footnote: bSee Joh_1:3.
Eph 3:10 so that now, through the assembly, the many-sided wisdom of Elohim might be known to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies,
Eph 3:11 according to the everlasting purpose which He made in Messiah יהושע our Master,
Eph 3:12 in whom we have boldness and access, with reliance, through belief in Him. (Gk - the faith of him)
Eph 3:13 I pray therefore, that you do not lose heart at my pressures on your behalf, which is your esteem.
Prayer for Spiritual Strength
Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Master יהושע Messiah,
Eph 3:15 from whom all fatherhood [c] in the heavens and earth is named, Footnote: c Or lineage, or paternal descent. Gal 3:8

Eph 3:19 to know the love of Messiah which surpasses knowledge, in order that you (plural)might be filled to all the completeness of Elohim.
Eph 3:20 And to Him who is able to do exceedingly above what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,
Eph 3:21 to Him be esteem in the assembly by Messiah יהושע unto all generations, for ever and ever. Aměn.
Exo 6:4 “And I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Kenaʽan, the land of their sojournings, in which they have sojourned. (the patriachs)
Exo 6:5 “And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Yisra’ĕl whom the Mitsrites are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant. – (see the ones who graon in Ezek 9)
Exo 6:6 “Say, therefore, to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am יהוה, and I shall bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites, and shall deliver you from their enslaving, and shall redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments,
Exo 6:7 and shall take you as My people, and I shall be your Elohim. And you shall know that I am יהוה your Elohim who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Mitsrites.
Exo 6:8 ‘And I shall bring you into the land which I swore to give to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, to give it to you as an inheritance. I am יהוה.’ ”
1. In this covenant we know that YHVH is “bringing us out” This Hebrew verb is imperfect and reminds us that this deliverance from Egypt is not yet over.
2. In this covenant we know “His deliverance” from their enslaving. The Hebrew verb “natsal” (also imperfect) can mean “to snatch away or rescue” from their enslaving.
3. In this covenant YHVH “takes” us as His people and we get to “know” Him as our Elohim.
4. In this covenant we anticipate our return to the land of Yisrael – our inheritance.
Four verbs in Exodus/Shemot 6:6-7 form the basis for the Rabbinic requirement of four cups at the Passover seder:
Exo 6:9 And Mosheh spoke thus to the children of Yisra’ĕl, but they did not listen to Mosheh, because of shortness of spirit, and from hard slavery. (many will be able to listen when they see the judgments of YHVH)
Exo 6:10 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exo 6:11 “Go in, speak to Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim, to let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.”
Exo 6:12 And Mosheh spoke before יהוה, saying, “The children of Yisra’ĕl have not listened to me, and why would Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?” (in his own flesh thus could not be done)
Exo 6:13 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, and gave them a command for the children of Yisra’ĕl and for Pharaoh, sovereign of Mitsrayim, to bring the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Exo 6:14 These are the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Re’uḇĕn, the first-born of Yisra’ĕl: Ḥanoḵ and Pallu, Ḥetsron and Karmi. These are the clans of Re’uḇĕn.
Exo 6:15 And the sons of Shimʽon: Yemu’ĕl, and Yamin, and Ohaḏ, and Yaḵin, and Tsoḥar, and Sha’ul the son of a Kenaʽanite woman. These are the clans of Shimʽon.
Exo 6:16 These are the names of the sons of Lĕwi according to their generations: Gĕreshon, and Qehath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Lĕwi were one hundred and thirty-seven.
Exo 6:17 The sons of Gĕreshon: Liḇni and Shimʽi according to their clans.
Exo 6:18 And the sons of Qehath: Amram, and Yitshar, and Ḥeḇron, and Uzzi’ĕl. And the years of the life of Qehath were one hundred and thirty-three.
Exo 6:19 And the sons of Merari: Maḥli and Mushi. These are the clans of Lĕwi according to their generations.
Exo 6:20 And Amram took for himself Yoḵeḇeḏ, his father’s sister, as wife. And she bore him Aharon and Mosheh. And the years of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty-seven.
Exo 6:21 And the sons of Yitshar: Qoraḥ, and Nepheḡ, and Ziḵri.
Exo 6:22 And the sons of Uzzi’ĕl: Misha’ĕl, and Eltsaphan, and Sithri.
Exo 6:23 Aharon took to himself Elisheḇa, daughter of Amminaḏaḇ, sister of Naḥshon, as wife. And she bore him Naḏaḇ, and Aḇihu, Elʽazar, and Ithamar.
Exo 6:24 And the sons of Qoraḥ: Assir, Elqanah, and Aḇiyasaph. These are the clans of the Qorḥites.
Exo 6:25 And Elʽazar, Aharon’s son, took for himself one of the daughters of Puti’ĕl as wife. And she bore him Pineḥas. These are the heads of the fathers of the Lĕwites according to their clans.
Exo 6:26 This is Aharon, and Mosheh, to whom יהוה said, “Bring out the children of Yisra’ĕl from the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.”
Exo 6:27 They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim, to bring out the children of Yisra’ĕl from Mitsrayim. This is Mosheh, and Aharon.
Exo 6:28 And it came to be, on the day when יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the land of Mitsrayim,
Exo 6:29 that יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, “I am יהוה. Speak to Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim all that I say to you.”
Exo 6:30 And Mosheh said before יהוה, “See, I am of uncircumcised lips, and why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
Exo 7:1 So יהוה said to Mosheh, “See, I have made you an elohim1 to Pharaoh, and Aharon your brother is your prophet. Footnote: 1Or mighty one – see footnote at 4:16.
Exo 7:2 “You shall speak all that I command you, and Aharon your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, to let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.
Exo 7:3 “But I am going to harden the heart of Pharaoh, and shall increase My signs and My wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.
Exo 7:4 “And Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, and I shall lay My hand on Mitsrayim, and bring My divisions and My people, the children of Yisra’ĕl, out of the land of Mitsrayim by great judgments.
Exo 7:5 “And the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה, when I stretch out My hand on Mitsrayim. And I shall bring the children of Yisra’ĕl out from among them.”
Exo 7:6 And Mosheh and Aharon did as יהוה commanded them, so they did.
Exo 7:7 Now Mosheh was eighty years old and Aharon eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.
Exo 7:8 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying,
Exo 7:9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aharon, ‘Take your rod and throw it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’ ”
Exo 7:10 So Mosheh and Aharon went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, as יהוה commanded. And Aharon threw his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Exo 7:11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the practisers of witchcraft. And they, the magicians of Mitsrayim, also did so with their magic.
Exo 7:12 And they, each one, threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But the rod of Aharon swallowed up their rods.
When Moshe threw his rod on the ground it became a serpent – Hebrew “Nachash” The gematria for Nachash and Moshiach is both 358. It is possible that YHVH was pointing to the work of Messiah on the execution stake (rod) to cancel out the works of the devil.
1 Jn 3:8 For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil.
The magicians repeat the miracle but they change their rods into crocodiles – Hebrew word “tannin”(large reptile) This speaks of trying to give the serpent much more power and credit than he deserves. It is sad to see how many believers give the devil so much credit and exaggerate his powers to frighten or impress people.
Exo 7:13 And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as יהוה had said.
Exo 7:14 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “The heart of Pharaoh is hard, he refuses to let the people go.
Exo 7:15 “Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he goes out to the water, and you shall stand by the river’s bank to meet him. And take in your hand the rod which was turned into a serpent.
Exo 7:16 “And you shall say to him, ‘יהוה the Elohim of the Heḇrews has sent me to you, saying, “Let My people go, so that they serve Me in the wilderness,” but see, until now you have not listened!
Exo 7:17 ‘Thus said יהוה, “By this you know that I am יהוה. See, I am striking the waters which are in the river with the rod that is in my hand, and they shall be turned to blood,
Exo 7:18 and the fish in the river shall die. And the river shall stink, and the Mitsrites shall find it impossible to drink the water of the river.” ’ ”
Apostolic portion – Acts 7:17-22 reveals as Moshe came out of the house of Pharoah so too will end time believer’s come out of the house of Pharoah – churches and synagogues.
Joh 17:14 “I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

(Blessed are you Yahveh, 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.)
