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.
