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.
