First four verses of song, see previous portion 172.
Rom
11:8 As it has been written, “יהוה has given them a spirit of deep sleep,
eyes not to see and ears not to hear, unto this day.” Deu_29:4, Isa_29:10.
5.
Dev 32:5 A twisted and crooked generation has corrupted itself
שִׁחֵת לוֹ לֹא, בָּנָיו מוּמָם
Enlarged ‘’hey’’ standing on its own in of vs 5, draws our
attention to a hidden meaning.
Which
should literally read “ he was perverted or corrupted for/to Him, not his sons/children
the moral stains of them”. This could also read “he became corrupt(towards YHVH)
with the moral stains that were not his but those of other sons.”
In verse
5 the English translation is difficult
to separate because words from both the right and the left are mixed up - Deu
32:5 “A twisted and crooked generation
has corrupted itself, They are blemished, they are not His children. It
should read:
דּוֹר עִקֵּשׁ, וּפְתַלְתֹּל.
7(b) a generation perverse and twisted
(wrestling with itself)” referring to the sons of men on earth.
8.Dev 32:6 “Do you do this to יהוה,
(is this the way you treat/recompense Yahveh?)
ו הַ לְיְהוָה, תִּגְמְלוּ-זֹאת--
Note the
enlarged “hey” in the Torah. This once again points to the revelation of
Messiah – “hey” speaks of revelation
(window) in the Hebrew idiom.
Is this
the way you treat the Moshiach who has laid down his life for you Israel, who
has taken upon himself our moral stains?
8(b) O
foolish and unwise people – left hand side.
עַם נָבָל, וְלֹא חָכָם
6.
Is He not your Father, who bought
you?
הֲלוֹא-הוּא אָבִיךָ קָּנֶךָ,
1Co
6:20 For you were bought with a price….
9(b) Who
created you and established you.
הוּא עָשְׂךָ וַיְכֹנְנֶךָ
10.Dev 32:7 “Remember
the days of old,
זְכֹר יְמוֹת עוֹלָם
10(b) Understand the years from generation to
generation.
(there is a pattern)
בִּינוּ שְׁנוֹת
דֹּר-וָדֹר
Return to
the ancient paths of your fathers - Jer 6:16 Thus said יהוה,
“Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is,
and walk in it; and find rest for yourselves. But they said, ‘We do not walk in
it.’
11.Ask (plead/beg) your father and
let him tell you,
שְׁאַל אָבִיךָ וְיַגֵּדְךָ
11(b) Your elders,(bearded ones - zakan) and they
will say to you:
זְקֵנֶיךָ וְיֹאמְרוּ לָךְ.
12.Dev 32:8 “When
the Most High gave the nations their inheritance
בְּהַנְחֵל עֶלְיוֹן גּוֹיִם
When the Supreme(Elyon) gave allotments to the nations.
12(b) When He (caused the separation))
separated(parad) the sons of Aḏam,
בְּהַפְרִידוֹ בְּנֵי אָדָם
YHVH brings
separation in His creation in order to establish perfection.
13 He will set the boundaries of the nations.
יַצֵּב גְּבֻלֹת עַמִּים
13(b) According to the number of the
children of Yisra’ĕl.
לְמִסְפַּר בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.
Luke 19:17-19
Parable of minas – faithful ruling over cities.
14. Dev 32:9 “For(because
“ki”) the (chosen) portion of יהוה is
His people,
כִּי חֵלֶק יְהוָה, עַמּוֹ
14(b) Yaʽaqoḇ His allotted(chevel)
inheritance.
יַעֲקֹב, חֶבֶל נַחֲלָתוֹ
Psa 16:6 Boundary
lines(chevelim) have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, a good
inheritance is mine.
15.Dev 32:10 “He found
him in a wilderness,
יִמְצָאֵהוּ בְּאֶרֶץ מִדְבָּר
Heb
“yimtzeoo” means “he is finding him in a desert land”
וּבְתֹהוּ יְלֵל יְשִׁמֹן
In the last
days Messiah’s bride will be found in the wilderness - Hos 2:14 Therefore, behold,
I will lure her and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her
– speak to her heart – ‘’ve debarti al livah’’
16. He encompassed him, He caused him to
understand,
יְסֹבְבֶנְהוּ, יְבוֹנְנֵהוּ--
An end time
generation is going to have such a profound assurance of the presence of YHVH
surrounding them even in the midst of chaos. We see this truth illustrated when
Yisrael experienced the pillar of cloud by day and column of fire by night in
their wilderness wandering.
16(b) He guarded over him as the pupil of
His eye.
יִצְּרֶנְהוּ, כְּאִישׁוֹן עֵינוֹ
Rev 3:10 “Because you
have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of
trial which shall come upon all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth.
17.Dev 32:11 “As an
eagle rouses itself over its nest.
כְּנֶשֶׁר יָעִיר קִנּוֹ
17(b) over
his fledgings he is vibrating (fluttering)
עַל-גּוֹזָלָיו יְרַחֵף
ב וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ
וָבֹהוּ, וְחֹשֶׁךְ, עַל-פְּנֵי תְהוֹם; וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים, מְרַחֶפֶת עַל-פְּנֵי
הַמָּיִם.
|
2 Now the earth was unformed and void, and
darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of YHVH hovered over
the face of the waters.
|
The Ruach ‘vibrated’’ Heb ‘’rachaf’’ over the
chaotic void to bring about YHVH’s perfect order.
18. Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
יִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָיו יִקָּחֵהוּ,
18(b)
Bearing them on its wings.
יִשָּׂאֵהוּ עַל-אֶבְרָתוֹ.
Note the two
different Hebrew words used for wings – ‘’kanaf’’ and ‘’evrah’’ also
‘’pinion’’.
Additional
notes by Rabbi Ginsburgh: “The Messianic Wings”
One of the
most potent images in the song of Ha'azinu is the image of the eagle hovering
over his nest of fledglings (Deuteronomy 32:11). In this metaphor, YHVH, the
eagle, comes to waken the fledglings in his nest, hovers over them, spreads his
wings over them and finally lifts them on his wings in redemptive flight
through the sky. There are two synonyms for "wings" in this verse: kanaf,
whose numerical value is 150, and evrah, whose numerical value is 208.
Together, these two words equal 358, the numerical value of Mashiach.
The eagle carrying the Hebrew People on his wings is the Mashiach, carrying out
his Divine Messianic mission. In the Torah portion of Yitro (Exodus 19:4) YHVH
also refers to the redemption from Egypt as redemption "on the wings of
eagles." Clearly, the eagle and his wings have messianic redemptive
implications.
The
Hovering Eagle
Before the
eagle takes his fledglings on his wings, he must awaken them. The eagle is a
massive and powerful bird. If he lands on his nest suddenly, he is liable to
crush his fragile fledglings. Thus, our verse illustrates the eagle as hovering
over his nest, expressing himself to his fledglings as the most gentle of
creatures, manifesting perfect balance and stability. The verb for
"hover" rachef, is very rare in the Torah. One of its only
other appearances is in the second verse of Genesis, "and the spirit of
YHVH hovered over the waters." Our sages explain that this is the spirit
of Mashiach. The waters are the waters of teshuvah,
the awakening of the consciousness of the soul to return to YHVH. These two
expressions of "hovering" are completely complementary. Both point to
the awakening of the Hebrew People to the Messianic reality and return to YHVH.
19. Dev
32:12 “יהוה
alone led him,
יְהוָה, בָּדָד יַנְחֶנּוּ
19(b) And there was no strange mighty one
with him.
וְאֵין עִמּוֹ, אֵל נֵכָר
‘’nechar’’
foreign mighty one - Exo 20:2 “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the
land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. Exo 20:3 “You have
no other mighty ones against My face.
Isa
43:11 “I, I am יהוה,
and besides Me there is no saviour.
Hos
13:4 “But I am יהוה
your Elohim since the land of Mitsrayim, and an Elohim besides Me you shall not
know, for there is no Saviour besides Me.
Isa
44:6 “Thus said יהוה,
Sovereign of Yisra’ěl, and his Redeemer, יהוה of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the Last, besides Me there
is no Elohim.
20. Dev 32:13 “He
made him ride in the heights of the earth,
יַרְכִּבֵהוּ עַל-במותי (בָּמֳתֵי) אָרֶץ,
H1116 בּמה
bâmâh BDB
Definition: 1) high place, ridge, height, bamah (technical
name for cultic platform)
In the Torah this word ‘’bamah’’ has been mis spelled. A
‘’vav’’ has been added. Why? ‘’Vav’’’represents a nail, it also represents the
number ‘’six’’ Man was created on the sixth day. Yahshua is most referred to in
the apostolic scriptures as the ‘’son of man’’.
Php
2:9 Elohim, therefore, has highly
exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name,
Php
2:10 that at the Name of יהושע every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on
earth, and of those under the earth,
Php
2:11 and every tongue should confess
that יהושע Messiah is Master, to the
esteem of Elohim the Father.
20(b) And
he ate the fruit(produce) of the fields,
וַיֹּאכַל תְּנוּבֹת שָׂדָי
Possibly a reference to the Messiah’s humanity.
21. And He made him to draw honey from the
rock.
וַיֵּנִקֵהוּ דְבַשׁ מִסֶּלַע
‘’yanak’’
to nurse or suckle
‘’sela’’ - 1a) crag, cliff 1b) as
stronghold of YHVH,

Isa
45:3 And I shall give you the treasures of darkness and hoarded wealth of
secret places, so that you know that I, יהוה, who are calling you by your name, am the Elohim of
Yisra’ěl.
21(b) And oil from the flinty rock,
וְשֶׁמֶן מֵחַלְמִישׁ צוּר
Flint. A well-known stone, a variety of quartz. It is
extremely hard and strikes fire. It was very abundant in and about Palestine.
The following verses speak of the great
abundance and kindness YHVH bestowed on His people but they just grew fat and
rebelled against YHVH and His Torah.
22. Dev 32:14 “Curds(butter)
from the cattle,(bakar) And milk of the flock,
חֶמְאַת בָּקָר וַחֲלֵב צֹאן

the choicest wheat;
עִם-חֵלֶב, כִּלְיוֹת חִטָּה
Lit. ‘’With
the fat of the kidneys of wheat’’
24. And you
drank wine, the blood of the grapes.
וְדַם-עֵנָב, תִּשְׁתֶּה-חָמֶר.
24 (b) Dev 32:15 “But Yeshurun grew fat and
kicked;
וַיִּשְׁמַן יְשֻׁרוּן וַיִּבְעָט
Jeshurun = “upright one”- a symbolic name for
Israel describing her ideal character.
Despite all
YHVH does for “Yeshurun”, she rebels against YHVH. (Dev 33:26)
25. You grew fat, you grew thick, You are
covered with fat;
שָׁמַנְתָּ עָבִיתָ כָּשִׂיתָ
‘’stout
thick and burly’’
25(b) So he
forsook Eloah who made him,
וַיִּטֹּשׁ אֱלוֹהַּ עָשָׂהוּ,
‘’natash’’ rejected and forsook.
26.And scorned the Rock of his deliverance.
וַיְנַבֵּל צוּר יְשֻׁעָתוֹ
Heb. “va
yin a bel” to treat with contempt. Yahshua took this contempt upon himself.
26(b) Dev 32:16 “They moved Him to jealousy
with foreign matters,
יַקְנִאֻהוּ, בְּזָרִים
We made
YHVH jealous with strange doctrines and ideas about who is and what He desires.
27.With abominations they provoked Him.
בְּתוֹעֵבֹת, יַכְעִיסֻהוּ.
Heb word
for – ‘’to eva’’ or “abominations” is with disgusting things like unclean food
and defiling associations.
‘’Ka as’’
vexed and made YHVH very angry.
27(b)Dev
32:17 “They slaughtered to demons – not Eloah –
יִזְבְּחוּ, לַשֵּׁדִים לֹא אֱלֹהַּ
Many
believe they are making offering to YHVH by celebrating Christmas and Easter,
but they are making offerings to demons and false deities.
28. Mighty ones they did not know,
אֱלֹהִים, לֹא יְדָעוּם
28(b) New ones with whom they entered into personal
relationships.
חֲדָשִׁים מִקָּרֹב בָּאוּ
“The Talmud is Judaism's holiest book (actually a collection
of books). Its authority takes precedence over the Old Testament in Judaism.
Evidence of this may be found in the Talmud itself, Erubin 21b (Soncino
edition): "My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the
Scribes than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament)."
29.Which your fathers did not fear.
לֹא שְׂעָרוּם אֲבֹתֵיכֶם
*29(b) Dev 32:18 “You
neglected the Rock who brought you forth,
צוּר יְלָדְךָ, תֶּשִׁי
“Tzur
yaladecha teshi” the rock that generated you, you are oblivious to” (Oblivious
or “Teshi”)
See Stones’ chumash p 1104 the fith line from the
top. This word “teshi” has a yud which is half way down from its normal
position. Why?
Perhaps the diminished ‘’yud’’ reminds us of the Hand of YHVH that came
down to earth in the form of His only brought forth son – Yahshua the first
born of many sons of YHVH.
.
Gal 4:19 My little children, for whom I am again in
birth pains until Messiah is formed in you,

His sons and His daughters.
מִכַּעַס בָּנָיו, וּבְנֹתָיו.

וַיֹּאמֶר, אַסְתִּירָה פָנַי מֵהֶם
32. Let Me see what their end is,

YHVH will
examine and inspect us in our latter end. (Heb –yira can mean see or examine)
Deu
4:30 “In your distress, when all these words shall come upon you in the latter
days, then you shall return to יהוה your Elohim and shall obey His voice.
32(b) For they are a perverse generation,
דוֹר תַּהְפֻּכֹת הֵמָּה

“they turn things upside down”- they pervert things by changing them.
33. Children in whom there is no trusting.

No
faithfulness.
*33(b) Dev 32:21
“They made Me jealous by what is not Ěl,
הֵם קִנְאוּנִי בְלֹא-אֵל
Note “El” also has a “tittel” in the scroll. Today many
believers call
‘’Yahshua’’ YHVH.
In the
Torah sefer this “ El” has a tittel over it ie
Moshe is drawing our attention to a hidden meaning. I believe this could be a reference to the deceptive
trinity teaching of our time. It can also refer to all misinformation about
YHVH that religious people proclaim as the truth.
34.They provoked Me with their worthless matters.
כִּעֲסוּנִי בְּהַבְלֵיהֶם
They provoked YHVH with vanity (heb vapour) . ie issues they thought they were
very important were just a bag of wind.

make them jealous by those who are no people,
וַאֲנִי אַקְנִיאֵם בְּלֹא-עָם,

anger them) (Deu_32:21) those who are my flesh and save some of them.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of יהוה shall come as a thief in the night, in
which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall
melt with intense heat, and the earth and the works that are in it shall be
burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing all these are to be destroyed in this
way, what kind of people ought you to be in set-apart behaviour and reverence,

YHVH seems to send His people into the wilderness (captivity)and

taking her back out into the wilderness where we had our first date, and I’ll

69. Deu
32:43 “O nations, acclaim His people
*****
הַרְנִינוּ גוֹיִם עַמּוֹ
Should read “Let all the messengers of Elohim
do reverence to Him.”
“Let all
the messengers of Elohim do reverence to Him.”is not found in the masoretic
text (500CE).
Explanation:
4 Q is a
reference to the Dead Sea Scroll which shows that the Masoretic text which we
now use, was tampered with to hide direct references to the Messiah. The
Septuagint also bears witness to the tampering. (The Septuagint was a
translation by 70 rabbis of the Tenach into Greek 200 years before Messiah
appeared) The masoretic text dates from around 500 C E.
In Heb
1:6 And when He again brings the
first-born into the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of Elohim do
reverence to Him.”
Now, if the Apostolic scriptures repeat these
words in Deuteronomy 32:43, shouldn't we?
Septuagint
Dev 32:43 Rejoice, ye
heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice ye
Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in
him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance,
and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and
the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
69(b) For He avenges the blood of His
servants
כִּי דַם-עֲבָדָיו יִקּוֹם
70. And returns vengeance to His adversaries,
וְנָקָם יָשִׁיב לְצָרָיו,
Should read “will retaliate against those who
reject him’’
70(b) And shall pardon His land, His
people.”
וְכִפֶּר אַדְמָתוֹ עַמּוֹ
Heb – and a
propitiary shelter (kipper) will be found in the land of His people.
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 Yahweh, 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)
