(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.
Lev 17:1 And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh, saying,
Lev 17:2 “Speak to
Aharon, to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them,
‘This is the word which יהוה has commanded,
saying,
Lev 17:3 “Any man
from the house of Yisra’ĕl who slaughters a bull or a lamb or a goat in the
camp, or who slaughters it outside the camp,
Lev 17:4 and does
not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to bring an offering to יהוה before the Dwelling Place of יהוה, blood-guilt (Heb – dam chashav – or blood judgment) is reckoned to
that man. He has shed blood, and that man shall be cut off from among his
people,
In other words this guilty person has esteemed the life
blood of this animal in a light or wrongful manner which brings about his
excommunication from the nation of Yisrael – see vs 11&14.
See also 1 Cor 8 and Rom 14 – Shaul’s instructions
regarding meat.
Lev 17:5 in order
that the children of Yisra’ĕl bring their slaughterings which they slaughter in
the open field. And they shall bring them to יהוה at the door of
the Tent of meeting, to the priest, and slaughter them as peace offerings to יהוה.
Lev 17:6 “And the
priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of יהוה at the door of
the Tent of Meeting, and shall burn the fat for a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
Lev 17:7 “And let
them no longer slaughter their slaughterings to demons, after whom they whored.
This is a law forever for them throughout their generations.” ’
Lev 17:8 “And say
to them, ‘Any man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers who sojourn
among you, who offers a burnt offering or slaughtering,
Lev 17:9 and does
not bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to do it to יהוה, that man shall be cut off from among his
people.
Lev 17:10 ‘And any
man of the house of Yisra’ĕl, or of the strangers who sojourn among you, who
eats any blood, I
shall set My face against that being who eats blood, and
shall cut him off from among his people.
Elohim fearing gentiles were not excluded from this
responsibility or guarding all other aspects of Torah.
Lev 17:11 ‘For the
life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to
make atonement for your lives, for it is the blood that makes atonement for the
life.’
Lev 17:12
“Therefore I said to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘No being among you eats
blood, nor does any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.’
Lev 17:13 “And any
man from the children of Yisra’ĕl, or from the strangers who sojourn among you,
who hunts and catches any beast or bird, which is eaten, shall pour out its
blood and cover it with dust,
Lev 17:14 for it
is the life of all flesh. Its blood is for its life. And I said to the children
of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Do not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is
its blood. Anyone eating it is cut off.’
Lev 17:15 “And any
being who eats a carcass or what was torn by a beast, be he a native or
a stranger, he shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and shall be unclean
until evening. Then he shall be clean.
Lev 17:16 “And if
he does not wash or bathe his body, then he shall bear his crookedness.”
What is “dam chashav” blood guilt?
Heb 10:28 Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of
Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. (Gk –
anyone repudiating…)
The word disregarded is not a past tense verse but an
aorist verb, indicating that this injunction is still in effect.
Heb 10:29 How much worse punishment do you think shall
he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of
the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of
favour?
Heb 10:30 …… I shall repay, says יהוה.” And again, “יהוה shall judge His people.”
Heb 10:31 It is
fearsome to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
It is difficult to fully understand what the writer to
the book of Hebrews is saying about “counting the blood of the covenant common
or unclean”. This could possibly mean diminishing the value of the entire
temple service and system of offerings. Herein lies the danger that we no
longer consider the serious nature of sin and guilt before YHVH.
Even as seekers after the truth, we often don’t realize
the seriousness of sin. There is a great deception and delusion amongst many
believers that sin is no longer such a serious issue. The modern grace
doctrines that so many pay deep homage to could in fact be doctrines of demons
–
1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit distinctly says that in latter
times some shall fall away from the belief, paying attention to misleading
spirits, and teachings of demons,
1Ti 4:2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been
branded on their own conscience,
2Th 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way, because
the falling away is to come first, and the man of lawlessness1 is to
be revealed, the son of destruction,
2Th 2:7 For the secret of lawlessness is already at
work – only until he who now restrains comes out of the midst.
2Th 2:11 And for this reason Elohim sends them a
working of delusion, for them to believe the falsehood,1 Footnote: 1Eze.
20:25, John 9:39, John 12:40, Acts 7:42, Rom. 1:24-28.
1Jn 3:4 Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and
sin is lawlessness. (Torahlessness)
1Jn 2:3 And by this we know that we know Him, if we
guard His commands.1 Footnote: 1See 3:6.
1Jn 2:4 The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not
guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoever guards His Word, truly the love
of Elohim has been perfected1 in him. By this we know that we are in
Him.2 Footnotes: 1Gen. 17:1, Ps. 119:1, Mt. 5:48. 2See
3:24.
2Co 11:3 But I am afraid, lest, as the serpent
deceived Ḥawwah by his trickery,
so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.
2Co 11:4
For, indeed, if he who is coming proclaims another יהושע,1
whom we have not proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit which you
have not received, or a different Good News which you have not accepted, you
put up with it well enough! Footnote: 1Mt. 24:5 & 23-24, John
5:43.
1Jn 3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him,
because we guard His commands and do what is pleasing in His sight.1
Footnote: 1Prov. 28:9, John 9:31, Jm. 5:16.
1Jn 3:23 And this is His command, that we should
believe in the Name of His Son יהושע Messiah and
love one another, as He gave us command.
1Jn 3:24 And the
one guarding His commands stays in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that
He stays in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.1 Footnote: 1John
14:23-24, Acts 5:32, Rom. 8:7-11, 1 John 2:5, 1 John 4:13.
Rom 8:1 There is, then, now no condemnation to those
who are in Messiah יהושע, who do not
walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 For the
Torah of the Spirit of the life in Messiah יהושע has set me free
from the law of sin and of death.
Rom 8:3 For the
Torah being powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, Elohim, having
His own Son in the likeness of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin
in the flesh,
Rom 8:4 so that
the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk
according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Rom 8:5 For those
who live according to the flesh set their minds on the matters of the
flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the matters of
the Spirit.
Rom 8:6 For the
mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.
Rom 8:7 Because
the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself1
to the Torah of Elohim2, neither indeed is it able, Footnotes: 1Or
does not obey. 2John 15:5, 1 John 4:4, 1 John 3:9, 1 John
5:18.
Rom 8:8 and those
who are in the flesh are unable to please Elohim.
Rom 8:9 But you
are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of Elohim dwells in
you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Messiah, this one is not His.
Joh 16:7 “But I say the truth to you. It is better for
you that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you
at all, but if I go, I shall send Him to you.
Joh 16:8 “And having come, He shall reprove1
the world concerning sin,2 and concerning righteousness, and
concerning judgment – Footnotes: 1Or confute or prove
wrong. 22 Chr. 24:20, Neh. 9:30, Ezek. 36:27, Mic. 3:8, Acts
28:25-27.
Joh 16:9 concerning sin because they do not believe in
Me, (do you believe in a Yahshua who came to do away with the Torah? Do you
believe in a Yahshua who is YHVH?)
Joh 16:10 concerning righteousness because I go to My
Father and you see Me no more,
Joh 16:11 concerning judgment because the ruler of this
world1 is judged. Footnote: 1See Lk. 4:6.
Joh 16:12 “I still have many words to say to
you, but you are not able to bear them now.
Joh 16:13 “But when He comes, the Spirit of the Truth,
He shall guide you into all the truth. For He shall not speak from Himself, but
whatever He hears He shall speak, and He shall announce to you what is to come.
1Ti 6:13 ……. I charge you:
1Ti 6:14 that you
guard the command1 spotlessly, blamelessly, until the appearing of
our Master יהושע Messiah,
Footnote: 1Command (singular) often means commands, e.g. Dt. 17:20,
Ps. 19:8.
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
