Ezra Reads the Torah – context End of Babylonian captivity – renewing commitment to Torah. We too are coming to an end of our Babylonian captivity – we too are called to renew our return to the righteousness of the Torah – 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
Neh 8:1 And when the seventh new moon
came, (Yom teruah) the children of Yisra’ěl were in their cities. And all the
people gathered together as one man in the open space that was in front of the
Water Gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Torah of
Mosheh, which יהוה had commanded Yisra’ěl.
Neh 8:2 And Ezra the priest brought the Torah before the
assembly of both men and women and all who could hear with understanding, on
the first day of the seventh new moon.
Neh 8:3 And he read from it in the open space in front of
the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those
who could understand. And the ears of all the people listened to the
Book of the Torah.
Neh 8:4 And Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood ……
Neh 8:5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the
people, for he was above all the people. And when he opened it, all the people
stood up.
Neh 8:6 And Ezra blessed יהוה,
the great Elohim. Then all the people answered, “Aměn, Aměn!” while lifting up
their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshipped יהוה
with faces to the ground.
Neh 8:7 …and the Lěwites, caused the people to
understand the Torah while the people were in their place.
Neh 8:8 And they read in the Book of the Torah of Elohim,
translating to give the sense, and caused them to understand the
reading.
This Day Is Set Apart.
Neh 8:9 And Neḥemyah,
who was the governor, and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Lěwites who
taught the people said to all the people, “This day is set-apart to יהוה
your Elohim. Do not (focus on) mourn or weep.” For all the people wept when
they heard the words of the Torah.
Neh 8:10 Then he said to them, “Go, eat the fat, drink
the sweet, and send portions to those for whom none is prepared. For this day
is set-apart to our Master. Do not be sad, for the joy of יהוה
is your strength.”
Neh 8:11 And the Lěwites were silencing all the people,
saying, “Hush, for the day is set-apart, do not be sad.”
Neh 8:12 And all the people went to eat and to drink, and
to send portions and make a great rejoicing, because they understood the words
that were made known to them.
The Gemara explicitly discusses the institution of public Torah reading on
Mondays, Thursdays, and Shabbat:
“Why do we read on Monday and Thursday? Because the
people were in danger of forgetting the Torah, and therefore Ezra established
that it should be read three times a week, so that the Torah will always be
remembered.”
Ezr
7:10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Torah of יהוה, and to do it, and to teach
laws and right-rulings in Yisra’ěl. (Affirms Torah portions to establish
ongoing covenantal commitment)
Deuteronomy 6:1–25: The Torah commands love and
obedience to YHVH as the core of covenantal life.
Messianic Christians generally believe the ritual, ceremonial, and Temple-bound laws no longer apply in a legal sense, while moral laws and covenant principles remain. Observance may still be voluntary for spiritual, educational, or traditional reasons. (a tragic error)
Act
24:15 having an expectation in Elohim, which they themselves also wait
for, that there is to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the righteous and
the unrighteous.
Act
24:16 “And in this I exercise myself to have a clear conscience toward
Elohim and men always. (not a partial selection of Torah)
Psa
89:34 “I shall not profane My covenant, Neither would I change what has
gone out from My lips. Mat 5:17-19
·
Teruah: The word teruah itself
can mean a loud shout or a series of broken sounds, sometimes a battle cry and
sometimes a shout of joy.
·
Yevava: According to the
Talmud, the rabbis debated the exact sound of the teruah. One
interpretation is that it is a yevava, which means a moan or a
series of short, wailing sounds. In modern shofar blowing, the yevava or teruah is
often contrasted with the long, continuous sound (tekiah), and its
moaning, broken sound is linked to crying out in repentance.
Rabbinic interpretation
In the Babylonian Talmud, specifically in tractate Rosh
Hashanah 33b, the rabbis connect the sound of the shofar's teruah (a
series of short, broken blasts) to the weeping sound described as yevava.(Judges
5:28) When discussing the nature of the teruah sound for Yom
Teruah (Rosh Hashanah), the rabbis propose that the sound should be a wail,
similar to that of Sisera's mother weeping for her son. Judges 5:28
This interpretation is significant because it associates
the joyous and celebratory festival of Yom Teruah (Day of the Shofar Blast)
with a sound of deep anguish and sorrow. It serves as a powerful call to
repentance (teshuvah), reminding the listeners of the profound sadness
and brokenness associated with sin.
The connection is particularly striking because it uses
the image of an enemy's mother in pain to inspire empathy and self-reflection
on a day celebrating divine kingship. The wailing sound of the shofar is meant
to evoke empathy and awaken the heart to return to YHVH.

The Groom's Return: In ancient
Jewish tradition, after the betrothal (erusin), the groom would return
to his father's house to prepare a bridal chamber. He would come to collect his
bride with a trumpet blast, at a day and hour known only to his father.
·
Yahshua as the Bridegroom: In
Messianic theology, Jesus (Yeshua) is the bridegroom, and his followers are the
bride. His return is associated with the sound of a "last trumpet".
Yom Teruah as the
rehearsal: Since Yom Teruah is the Feast of Trumpets, some interpret
it as a rehearsal or foreshadowing of this ultimate event—the Messiah's return
to "collect his bride". This
is also supported by the fact that the day is known as the "hidden
day," as it occurs on the new moon and therefore its exact timing was
unknown.
Matthew
24:36: Yahshua says
that no one knows the day or hour of his return, except the Father. This is
aligned with the Jewish wedding custom where only the father knew when the
bridal chamber was ready.
1
Thessalonians 4:16-17: Paul
writes that the Lord will descend from heaven "with a shout, with the
voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet call of God," and the dead in Messiah
will rise first. This is widely viewed as a reference to the rapture and the
gathering of believers.
1 Corinthians
15:51-52: Paul again
speaks of the resurrection at the "last trumpet," when believers will
be changed "in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye".
Mat
24:36 “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the
messengers of the heavens, but My Father only.h Footnote: h Mrk_13:32
Mat
24:37 “And as the days of Noaḥ, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
Mat
24:38 “For as they were in the days before the flood, eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noaḥ entered into the ark, Gen_7:7.
Mat
24:39 and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away,
so also shall the coming of the Son of Aḏam be.
Mat
24:40 “Then two shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one is
left.
Mat
24:41 “Two women shall be grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is
left.
Mat
24:42 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is
coming.
Mat
24:43 “And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour
the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be
broken into.
Mat
24:44 “Because of this, be ready too, for the Son of Aḏam is coming at an hour when you
do not expect Him. 1 Thes 5:4
Traditional Jewish understanding
In contrast to
this Christian interpretation, normative Judaism views Yom Teruah (Rosh
Hashanah) as the Day of Judgment (Yom HaDin) and a time for repentance (teshuvah).
The shofar blast is a spiritual alarm clock meant to awaken Jews to
self-reflection and a return to God
According to rabbinic tradition, on Rosh Hashanah, three
heavenly books are opened:
·
The Book of the Righteous: For those
who are completely righteous, their names are inscribed and sealed for a good
life in the coming year.
·
The Book of the Wicked: The names of
the completely wicked are inscribed and sealed for death.
·
The Intermediate Book: For the
majority of humanity, who fall somewhere in the middle, their fate is held in
the intermediate book. Their destiny is not sealed until Yom Kippur (the Day of
Atonement), ten days later.
The ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are a
critical period for prayer, repentance (teshuvah), and charitable deeds
(tzedakah). This time is seen as an opportunity for individuals to
improve their standing in the heavenly court and influence the final
inscription in the Book of Life.
Yom Truah has major significance to the whole world –
this is not just a Jewish feast. It will signal the end of this age and the
beginning of the millennial kingdom –
The
Remnant of Israel Will Return
Isa
10:20 And in that day it shall be that the remnant of Yisra’ěl, and those
who have escaped of the house of Ya‛aqoḇ, never again lean upon him who
struck them, but shall lean upon יהוה, the Set-apart One of Yisra’ěl, in
truth.
Isa
10:21 A remnant shall return, the remnant of Ya‛aqoḇ, to the Mighty Ěl.
Isa
10:22 For though your people, O Yisra’ěl, be as the sand of the sea, yet
a remnant of them shall return – a decisive end, overflowing with
righteousness.
Isa
10:23 For the Master יהוה of hosts is making a complete end, as decided, in the midst of
all the earth.
The
Narrow Door
Luk
13:22 And He was going through the cities and villages, teaching, and
journeying toward Yerushalayim,
Luk
13:23 and someone said to Him, “Master, are there few who are being
saved?” And He said to them,
Luk
13:24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, because many, I say to
you, shall seek to enter in and shall not be able.
Luk
13:25 “When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door,
and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Master, Master,
open for us,’ and He shall answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you
are from,’
Luk
13:26 then you shall begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence,
and You taught in our streets.’
Luk
13:27 “But He shall say, ‘I say to you I do not know you, where you are
from.
