Bar’chu et YHVH
ha-m’vorach, Baruch YHVH ha-m’vorach l’O’lam va-ed!
Baruch ata YHVH
Eloheinu 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.)
Jer 31:33 “For
this is the covenant I shall make with the house of Yisra’ěl after those days,
declares יהוה: I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on
their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. Jer
31:34 “And no longer shall they teach, each one his neighbour, and each
one his brother, saying, ‘Know יהוה,’ for they shall all know Me, from the
least of them to the greatest of them,” declares יהוה. “For I
shall forgive their crookedness, and remember their sin no more.”
Exo 34:27
And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Write these Words, for
according to the mouth of these Words I have made a covenant with you and with
Yisra’ĕl.”
כז וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, כְּתָב-לְךָ אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה:
כִּי עַל-פִּי הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, כָּרַתִּי אִתְּךָ בְּרִית--וְאֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל.
|
27 And YHVH said unto Moshe: 'Write for you these words, because upon my
mouth these words – I have cut a covenant and with you and Yisrael. Heb 9:22
|
If
we change His Words, we annul the covenant. There is only one ancient covenant
that YHVH made with Yisrael and the prophet Yermiyahu declared that in the last
days YHVH would renew this ancient covenant – Yer 31:31-40.
The
“asaret ha devarim” or ten sayings encapsulate the entire Torah, which in turn
encapsulates the entire Covenant that YHVH made with mankind. A covenant that
would be broken by Yisrael but renewed again to its full perfection and power
in us through Yahshua in the last days.
Exo
34:28 And he was there
with יהוה forty days and forty nights. He did not
eat bread and he did not drink water. And He wrote on the tablets the Words of
the covenant, the Ten Words. (Mat 4;1-11)
Exo
34:29 And it came to be, when Mosheh
came down from Mount Sinai, while the two tablets of the Witness (ie the
witness of the marriage agreement) were in Mosheh’s hand when he came down from
the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face shone(Heb -karan)
since he had spoken with Him.
Exo
34:30 And Aharon and all the children of
Yisra’ĕl looked at Mosheh and saw the skin of his face shone,(Heb Karan –
S7160) and they were afraid to come near him. (it was almost as if he was back
in the garden of Eden for a brief moment) S7161 keren (fem noun) meaning ‘’horn
or strength’’
Mat
17:1 And after six days יהושע took Kěpha, and Ya‛aqoḇ, and Yoḥanan his brother, and brought
them up on a high mountain by themselves,
Mat
17:2 and He was transformed before them, and His face shone like the sun,
and His garments became as white as the light.
Mat
17:3 And see, Mosheh and Ěliyahu appeared to them, talking with
Him.
Ministers
of the New Covenant
2Co
3:1 Are we to begin to recommend ourselves again? Or
do we need, as some, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?
2Co
3:2 You are our letter, having been written in our hearts, known and read
by all men,
2Co
3:3 making it obvious that you are a letter of Messiah, served by us,
written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living Elohim, not on tablets of
stone but on fleshly tablets of the heart.
2Co
3:4 And such trust we have toward Elohim, through the Messiah.
2Co
3:5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to reckon any matter as
from ourselves, but our competence is from Elohim,
2Co
3:6 who also made us competent as servants of a renewed covenant, not of
the letter but of the Spirit, for the letter kills but the Spirit gives
life.
2Co
3:7 But if the administering of death in letters, engraved on stones, was
esteemed, so that the children of Yisra’ěl were unable to look steadily at the
face of Mosheh because of the esteem of his face, which was passing away,
2Co
3:8 how much more esteemed shall the administering of the Spirit not
be?
2Co
3:9 For if the administering of condemnation had esteem, the
administering of righteousness exceeds much more in esteem.
2Co
3:10 For indeed what was made esteemed had no esteem in this respect, in
view of the esteem that excels.
2Co
3:11 For if that which is passing away was esteemed, much more that which
remains in esteem. (we
have now been entrusted in taking forth the Word – The Torah to an elevated
position – ‘’pass on the torch’’)
2Co
3:12 Having then such expectation, we use much boldness of speech,
2Co
3:13 and not like Mosheh, who put a veil over his face a
so that the children of Yisra’ěl should not look steadily at the end of what
was passing away. Footnote: aSee Exo_34:33-35.
2Co
3:14 But their minds were hardened, for to this day, when the old
covenant is being read, that same veil remains, not lifted, because in Messiah
it is taken away.
2Co
3:15 But to this day, when Mosheh is being read, a veil lies on their
heart.
2Co
3:16 And when one turns to the Master, the veil is taken away. Exo_34:34.
2Co
3:17 Now יהוה is the Spirit,
and where the Spirit of יהוה is, there is
freedom.
2Co
3:18 And we all, as with unveiled face we see as in a mirror the esteem
of יהוה, are being transformed into the same
likeness from esteem to esteem, as from יהוה, the Spirit.b Footnote: bSee also 2Co_3:17-18.
Exo
34:31 But Mosheh called out (va yikra)
to them, and Aharon and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him, and
Mosheh spoke to them.
This is also possibly a prophetic statement – (“so ed” or hidden meaning) The
priesthood and the nation of Yisrael will return to YHVH and recognize His
Messiah.
Exo
34:32 And afterward all the children of
Yisra’ĕl came near, and he commanded them all that יהוה had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
Exo
34:33 And when Mosheh ended speaking with them, he put a veil on his
face.
Exo
34:34 But whenever Mosheh went in before יהוה to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came
out. And when he came out he spoke to the children of Yisra’ěl what he had been
commanded,
Exo
34:35 and the children of Yisra’ěl would see the face of Mosheh, that the
skin of Mosheh’s face shone, and Mosheh would put the veil on his face again,
until he went in to speak with Him.
YHVH has moves us on from esteem to esteem. It appears
that He does not return to a former esteem.
Hag
2:9 Let the esteem of this latter House be greater than the former,’ said
יהוה of hosts. ‘And in this place I give
peace,’ declares יהוה of
hosts.”
These are strange words because this second temple did
not appear greater than Solomon’s Temple.
Exo 35:1 And
Mosheh assembled (Vayakel) all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl,
and said to them, “These are the Words which יהוה has commanded you to do: (reminds them of the covenant – why? – because
we keep on forgetting)
Exo
35:2 “Work is done for six days, but on
the seventh day it shall be set-apart to you, a Sabbath of rest to יהוה. Anyone doing work on it is put to death.
Exo
35:3 “Do not kindle a fire in any of
your dwellings on the Sabbath day.” (Jer 7:18 – not to gather wood on Sabbath-
Num 15:32)
Exo
35:4 And Mosheh spoke to all the
congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, “This is the word which יהוה commanded, saying,
Exo
35:5 ‘Take from among you a contribution(terumah-
Shemot 25) to יהוה. Everyone
whose heart so moves him, let him bring it as a contribution to יהוה: gold, and silver, and bronze,
Exo
35:6 and blue, and purple, and scarlet material,
and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
Exo
35:7 and ram skins dyed red, and fine
leather, and acacia wood,
Exo
35:8 and oil for the light, and spices
for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
Exo
35:9 and shoham stones, and stones to be
set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate.
Exo
35:10 ‘And let all the wise-hearted
among you come and make all that יהוה has commanded:
Exo
35:11 the Dwelling Place, its tent and
its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its columns, and its sockets,
Exo
35:12 the ark and its poles, the lid of
atonement and the veil of the covering,
Exo
35:13 the table and its poles, and all
its utensils, and the showbread,
Exo
35:14 and the lampstand for the light,
and its utensils, and its lamps, and the oil for the light,
Exo
35:15 and the incense altar, and its
poles, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the covering for the
door at the entrance of the Dwelling Place,
Exo
35:16 the altar of burnt offering with
its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin and its stand,
Exo
35:17 the screens of the courtyard, its
columns, and their sockets, and the covering for the gate of the courtyard,
Exo
35:18 the pegs of the Dwelling Place,
and the pegs of the courtyard, and their cords,
Exo
35:19 the woven garments to do service
in the set-apart place, the set-apart garments for Aharon the priest and the
garments of his sons to serve as priests.’ ”
Exo
35:20 And all the congregation of the children
of Yisra’ĕl withdrew from the presence of Mosheh.
Exo
35:21 And everyone whose heart lifted
him up and everyone whose spirit moved him came, and they brought the
contribution to יהוה for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and
for the set-apart garments.
Exo
35:22 And they came, both men and women,
all whose hearts moved them, and brought earrings and nose rings, and rings and
necklaces, all golden goods, even every one who made a wave offering of gold to
יהוה.
Exo
35:23 And every man, with whom was found
blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,
and rams’ skins dyed red, and fine leather, brought them.
Exo
35:24 Everyone who would make a
contribution to יהוה of silver or bronze, brought it. And everyone with whom was
found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
Exo
35:25 And all the wise-hearted women
spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, the blue and the
purple, the scarlet material, and the fine linen.
Exo
35:26 And all the women whose hearts
lifted them up in wisdom spun the goats’ hair.
Exo
35:27 And the rulers brought shoham
stones, and the stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the
breastplate,
Exo
35:28 and the spices and the oil for the
light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
Exo
35:29 The children of Yisra’ĕl brought a
voluntary offering to יהוה, all the men and women whose hearts moved them to bring all
kinds of work which יהוה, by the hand of Mosheh, had commanded to be done.
Exo
35:30 And Mosheh said to the children of
Yisra’ĕl, “See, יהוה has called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yehuḏah,
Exo
35:31 and He has filled him with the
Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all
work,
Exo
35:32 to make designs, to work in gold
and in silver and in bronze,
Exo
35:33 and in cutting of stones for
setting, and in carving wood, and to work in all workmanship of design.
Exo
35:34 “And He has put in his heart the
ability to teach, in him and Oholiaḇ son
of Aḥisamaḵ, of the tribe of Dan.
Exo
35:35 “He has filled them with skill to
do all work of the engraver and the designer and embroiderer, in blue and in
purple, in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and a weaver, doing any
work, and makers of designs.
Exo 36:1 “And
Betsal’ĕl and Oholiaḇ, and every wise-hearted man in whom יהוה has given wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all work
for the service of the set-apart place, shall do according to all that יהוה has commanded.”
Exo
36:2 And Mosheh called Betsal’ĕl and
Oholiaḇ, and every wise-hearted man in
whose heart יהוה had given
wisdom, everyone whose heart lifted him up, to come and do the work.
Exo
36:3 And they received from Mosheh all
the contribution which the children of Yisra’ĕl had brought for the work of the
service of making the set-apart place. But they still brought to him voluntary
offerings every morning,
Exo
36:4 so all the craftsmen who were doing
all the work of the set-apart place came, each from the work he was doing,
Exo
36:5 and they spoke to Mosheh, saying,
“The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which יהוה commanded us to do.”
Exo
36:6 Then Mosheh commanded and they sent
this word throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more
work for the contribution of the set-apart place.” And the people were withheld
from bringing,
Exo
36:7 for what they had was enough for
all the work to be done, more than enough.
Exo
36:8 Then all the wise-hearted ones
among them who worked on the Dwelling Place made ten curtains woven of fine
linen and blue and purple and scarlet material. They made them with
keruḇim, the work of a skilled
workman.
Exo
36:9 The length of each curtain was
twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, all the
curtains having one measure.
Exo
36:10 And he joined five curtains, one
to another; and the other five curtains he joined, one to another.
Exo
36:11 And he made loops of blue on the
edge of the end curtain of one set, the same he did on the edge of the end
curtain of the other set.
Exo
36:12 Fifty loops he made on one
curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the end curtain of the second
set; the loops held one curtain to another.
Exo
36:13 And he made fifty hooks of gold,
and joined the curtains to each other with the hooks, and the Dwelling Place
became one.
Exo
36:14 And he made curtains of goats’ hair
for the tent over the Dwelling Place, he made eleven curtains.
Exo
36:15 The length of each curtain was
thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, the eleven curtains
having one measure.
Exo
36:16 And he joined five curtains by
themselves and six curtains by themselves.
Exo
36:17 And he made fifty loops on the edge
of the end curtain in one set, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the
curtain of the second set.
Exo
36:18 And he made fifty bronze hooks to
join the tent, to be one.
Exo
36:19 And he made a covering for the
tent of rams’ skins, dyed red, and a covering of fine leather above that.
Exo
36:20 And for the Dwelling Place he made
boards of acacia wood, standing up.
Exo
36:21 The length of each board was ten
cubits, and the width of each board a cubit and a half.
Exo
36:22 Each board had two tenons for
binding one to another. So he did to all the boards of the Dwelling Place.
Exo
36:23 And he made boards for the
Dwelling Place, twenty boards for the south side.
Exo
36:24 And he made forty sockets of
silver to go under the twenty boards, and two sockets under each of the boards
for its two tenons.
Exo
36:25 And for the other side of the
Dwelling Place, for the north side, he made twenty boards,
Exo
36:26 and their forty sockets of silver,
two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board.
Exo
36:27 And he made six boards for the
west side of the Dwelling Place.
Exo
36:28 And he made two boards for the two
back corners of the Dwelling Place.
Exo
36:29 And they were double beneath, and
similarly they were complete to the top by one ring. So he did to both of them
for the two corners.
Exo
36:30 And there were eight boards, and
their silver sockets, sixteen sockets, two sockets under each of the boards.
Exo
36:31 And he made bars of acacia wood,
five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling Place,
Exo
36:32 and five bars for the boards on
the other side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the
Dwelling Place at the rear, westward.
Exo
36:33 And he made the middle bar to pass
through the boards from one end to the other.
Exo
36:34 And he overlaid the boards with
gold, and their rings he made of gold to be holders for the bars, and overlaid
the bars with gold.
Exo
36:35 And he made a veil of blue and
purple and scarlet material, and fine worked linen. It was made with
keruḇim, the work of a skilled
workman.
Exo
36:36 And he made four columns of acacia
wood for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold. And he cast
four sockets of silver for them.
Exo
36:37 And he made a covering for the
Tent door of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine woven linen,
made by a weaver,
Exo
36:38 and its five columns with their
hooks. And he overlaid their tops and their rings with gold, but their five
sockets were of bronze.
Psa 110:3 Your people
volunteer in the day of Your might, In the splendours of set-apartness! From
the womb, from the morning, You have the dew of Your youth!
Psa

does not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Malkitseḏeq.”
Psa

hand Shall smite sovereigns in the day of His wrath.

1Co 12:1
And
concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant.
1Co
12:2 You know that you were nations,a led away to the dumb idols, even as
you might be led. Footnote: aSee also Eph_2:11, Eph_4:17, 1Pe_4:3,

1Co
12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of
Elohim says יהושע is a curse,
and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master
except by the Set-apart Spirit.
1Co
12:4 And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1Co
12:5 There are different kinds of services, but the same Master.
1Co
12:6 And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim
who is working all in all.
1Co
12:7 And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for
profiting,
1Co
12:8 for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to
another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
1Co
12:9 and to another belief by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of
healing by the same Spirit,
1Co
12:10 and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and
to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of tongues, and to
another interpretation of tongues.
1Co
12:11 But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each
one individually as He intends.
Let
us once again carefully examine the gifts, services and workings of the Ruach,
but this time through the eyes of embracing the Torah and healing and wisdom
for our lives. This is how YHVH will establish a perfect union with man – face
to face.
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 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.)
