Parashat 22 Portion 71 Vayakel Shemot 34:27 – 36:28 Yerm 31:31-40 1 Cor 12:1-13



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.  

If we change His Words, we annul the covenant. There is only one ancient covenant that YHVH made with Yisrael and the prophet Yermeyahu 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 by Yahshua.

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.
Exo 34:29  And it came to be, when Mosheh came down from Mount Sinai, while the two tablets of the Witness were in Mosheh’s hand when he came down from the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face shone(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.

S7161 keren (fem noun) meaning horn or strength

The strength that came from Moshe’s face was the strength that would radiate from the face of Messiah. They feared because to look into the face that reflects the radiance and esteem of YHVH and to turn around and not embrace this as binding and guiding on your life forever would have serious consequences for your life. If such a one who would consider such esteem lightly he could even be in danger of grieving or blaspheming against the Ruach Ha Kodesh – Set Apart Spirit.

Hints (remez)

2Co 3:13  and not like Mosheh, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Yisra’ĕl should not look steadily at the end (Gk telos – aim or goal) of what was passing away.

Gk word for passing away – katargeo -  to render entirely useless and ineffective, to annul, to do away with.

Vs 7 …the children of Yisra’ĕl were unable to look steadily at the face of Mosheh because of the esteem of his face, which was passing away…

This is sadly a very serious accusation that can be made against those both Jew and Gentile who have annulled the Torah through their traditions and disobedience to YHVH.

Most believers fail to see that Messiah is the goal (Gk – telos) and purpose of all of Torah – Rom 10:4
Only when the veil over the Torah is lifted can one see the esteem of Yahshua.

The beauty and strength of the Torah would only experience brief moments of esteem and acceptance because for the most part it has always been rejected or misrepresented. When Yahshua returns he will restore the esteem of the Torah –

Isa 2:1  The word that Yeshayahu the son of Amots saw concerning Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim:
Isa 2:2  And it shall be in the latter days that the mountain of the House of יהוה is established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall flow to it.
Isa 2:3  And many peoples shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of יהוה, to the House of the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ, and let Him teach1 us His ways1, and let us walk in His paths1, for out of Tsiyon comes forth the Torah1, and the Word1 of יהוה from Yerushalayim.” Footnote: 1His ways, His paths, the teaching and the Word of יהוה are used synonymously.
Isa 2:4  And He shall judge between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples. And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither teach battle any more.

Exo 34:31  But Mosheh called out 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.

Rom 11:25  For I do not wish you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that hardening in part has come over Yisra’ĕl, until the completeness of the gentiles1 has come in. Footnote: 1Gen. 48:19.
Rom 11:26  And so all Yisra’ĕl shall be saved, as it has been written, “The Deliverer shall come out of Tsiyon, and He shall turn away wickedness from Yaʽaqoḇ,
Rom 11:27  and this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”1 Footnote: 1Isa. 59:20-21.

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’ĕl what he had been commanded,
Exo 34:35  and the children of Yisra’ĕl would see the face of Mosheh, that the skin of Mosheh’s face shone,(karan) and Mosheh would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.
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:
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.

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.
Gk word used here for “first” - pro'-tos
Contracted superlative of G4253; foremost (in time, place, order or importance): - before, beginning, best, chief (-est), first (of all), former.

The terms old and new testament are the fruit of replacement theology formulated by the emerging church. Believing that YHVH had abandoned Yisrael and replaced Yisrael with a new spiritual Yisrael – the church.
