(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.)
The title of this portion “Bemidbar”- wilderness, is also associated
with two other Hebrew words “devar” to speak and “davar” a word. This then can
also be understood to mean “a word in the wilderness” This meaning is
poignantly revealed as YHVH ushers His bride into the wilderness.
Could it be that YHVH
will once again call His beloved bride into the wilderness to establish
covenant faithfulness once again?
MessageTranslation:
Hos 2:14
"And now, here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to start all over
again. I'm taking her back out into the wilderness where we had our first date,
and I'll court her.
Hos 2:15
I'll give her bouquets of roses. I'll turn Heartbreak Valley into Acres
of Hope. She'll respond like she did as a young girl, those days when she was
fresh out of Egypt.
Hos 2:16
"At that time"--this is YHVH’s Message still-- "you'll
address me, 'Dear husband!' Never again will you address me, 'My slave-master!'
Hos 2:17
I'll wash your mouth out with soap, get rid of all the dirty false-god
names, not so much as a whisper of those names again. (like the days of the
week named after false deities)
Hos 2:18
At the same time I'll make a peace treaty between you and wild animals
and birds and reptiles, And get rid of all weapons of war. Think of it! Safe from
beasts and bullies!
Hos 2:19
And then I'll marry you for good--forever! I'll marry you true and
proper, in love and tenderness.
Hos 2:20
Yes, I'll marry you and neither leave you nor let you go. You'll know
me, YHVH, for who I really am.
YHVH keeps a registry of His Bride.
A Good Shepherd always
counts His sheep, hear again the words of our Messiah:
Joh 10:4 “And when he has brought out his own sheep,
he goes before them. And the sheep follow him, because they know his voice
(even those who lived in the world before Yahshua was born).
Joh 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd
lays down His life for the sheep.
Joh 10:16 “And other sheep I have which are not of this
fold – I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there
shall be one flock, one shepherd.1 Footnote: 1Ezek.
34:23, Ezek. 37:24.
Joh 10:27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and
they follow Me.1 Footnote: 1Rev. 14:4-5.
Joh 10:28 “And I give them everlasting life, and they
shall by no means ever perish, and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.
Joh 10:29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is
greater than all. And no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
Num 1:1 And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of
the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of
Mitsrayim, saying,
Num 1:2 “Take a
census of all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, by their clans, by
their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male, head by head,
Num 1:3 from
twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army in Yisra’ĕl. Number
them by their divisions, you and Aharon.
This book of the Torah –
Bamidbar is about YHVH calling and counting His bride to be. This counting or
taking of census is expressed in a rather strange Hebrew idiom viz “to count
the skulls” see Num 1:2 “Take a
census of all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, by their clans, by
their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male, head by
head (gulguletam)
The Hebrew word for head
here is “skulls” or “gulgoleth” Strongs 1538. This is where we get the word
“Golgotha” - The message is unchanging forever “only in Messiah can we be
counted”
Joh 19:17 And bearing His stake, He went out to the
so-called Place of a Skull, which is called in Heḇrew, Golgotha,
Joh 19:18
where they impaled Him, and two others with Him.
Num 1:4 “And a man
from every tribe should be with you, each one the head of his father’s house.
Num 1:5 “And these
are the names of the men who stand with you. From Re’uḇĕn:

Yissasḵar: Nethanĕ’l, son of Tsuʽar.

Eliyaḇ, son of Ḥĕlon.

sons of Yosĕph: From Ephrayim: Elishama, son of Ammihuḏ. From
Menashsheh: Gamli’ĕl, son of Peḏahtsur.
Num 1:11 “From
Binyamin: Aḇiḏan, son of Giḏʽoni.
Num 1:12 “From
Dan: Aḥiʽezer, son of Ammishaddai.

Ashĕr: Paḡʽi’ĕl, son of Oḵran.
Num 1:14 “From Gaḏ:
Elyasaph, son of Deu’ĕl.
Num 1:15 “From
Naphtali: Aḥira, son of Ěnan.”
Num 1:16 These are
the ones called from the congregation, leaders of their fathers’ tribes, heads
of the thousands of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 1:17 And
Mosheh and Aharon took these men who were called by name,
Num 1:18 and they
assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month.
And they declared their ancestry by clans, by their fathers’ houses, according
to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one head by head.

Num 1:47 But the

Num 1:48 because יהוה had spoken to Mosheh, saying,
Num 1:49 “Only the
tribe of Lĕwi you do not register, nor take a census of them among the children
of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 1:50 “Instead,
appoint the Lĕwites over the Dwelling Place of the Witness, over all its
furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They bear the Dwelling Place and
all its furnishings, and they attend to it, and camp around the Dwelling Place.

Mosheh and to Aharon, saying,

Note
that now the mixed multitude who had left Mitsrayim/Egypt with them have now
been counted in with the tribes of Israel as they are no longer mentioned as a
separate group.
Note
the profound prophecy of Ezekiel concerning those of us who are grafted into Yisrael/Israel.
Eze 47:21 “And you shall divide this land among
yourselves according to the tribes of Yisra’ĕl.
Eze 47:22 “And it shall be that you divide it by lot as
an inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who sojourn in your midst
and who bear children among you. And they shall be to you as native-born among
the children of Yisra’ĕl – with you they have an inheritance in the midst of
the tribes of Yisra’ĕl1. Footnote: 1Isa. 14:1, Isa.
56:6-8, Rom. 11:17-26, Eph. 2:19, Eph. 3:6, Rev. 21:12.

stranger sojourns, there you give him his inheritance,” declares the Master יהוה.
