וילך משׁה
- The verse reads: "And Moses
went(וילך
משׁה) and returned to Jethro his father-in-law..."
Exo 4:18 Then Mosheh went (וילך משׁה) and returned to Yether
his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers
who are in Mitsrayim to see whether they are still alive.” And Yithro said to
Mosheh, “Go in peace.” (‘’Yeter’’used only once for Moses father in law)
The Hebrew root יָתַר
(yatar / yāthar, Strong’s H3498) means “to remain over,” “to be
left,” “to exceed,” or “to leave a remnant.” It carries both the sense
of what is left after judgment or consumption and, at times, surplus or pre-eminence.
Ex 3:1 …..And he led the flock to the back ‘’Achar’’
(אַחַר)of the
wilderness….(Portion 50)
In the last days (achariet yamim) the teachings of Moses
will once again return to a remnant (Yeter) of gentiles, which will inspire a
coming together and restoration of the 12 tribes of Israel - a parable, a mystery of the kingdom - Acharit
ha-yamim, sod ha-malkhut.
In Exodus 4:18 the text reads that Moses returned to יֶתֶר (Yether) his
father-in-law. This is the same man elsewhere called יִתְרוֹ (Yitro / Jethro). The name is
formed from the same root and is commonly understood as “his abundance,” “his
excellence,” or, in some readings, “his remnant.”
This links directly to the larger biblical remnant narrative
- the portion that remains after Egypt’s oppression, after Babylon’s exile, and
after successive world-systems that seek to destroy YHVH’s people. Moses
extracts a remnant from Egypt; the prophetic hope looks to the Messiah to
secure the final remnant so that exclusive honour can return to YHVH alone. The
root yatar / yether supplies one of the key Hebrew terms for that
surviving, called-out remnant portion.
Perhaps the scribes intentionally chose to start a new
portion here to introduce the presence of an end time Hebraic gentile
awakening.
Exo 4:18 Then Mosheh went and returned to Yether
his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers
who are in Mitsrayim to see whether they are still alive.” And Yithro said to
Mosheh, “Go in peace.”
Exo 4:19 And יהוה said to Mosheh in Miḏyan, “Go, return to Mitsrayim,
for all the men are dead who sought your life.”
Exo 4:20 So Mosheh took his wife and his sons and
set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Mitsrayim. And Mosheh took
the rod of Elohim in his hand.
Exo 4:21 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “As
you go back to Mitsrayim, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh
which I have put in your hand. But I am going to strengthen his heart, so that
he does not let the people go.
Rom
9:16 So, then, it is not of him who is wishing, nor of him who is
running, but of Elohim who shows favour.
Rom
9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this same purpose I have
raised you up, to show My power in you, and that My Name be declared in all the
earth.” Exo_9:16.
Rom
9:18 So, then, He favours whom He wishes, and He hardens whom He
wishes.
Rom
9:19 Then you shall say to me, “Why does He still find fault? For who has
resisted His counsel?”
Rom
9:20 But who are you, O man, to talk back to Elohim? Shall that which
is formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” Isa_29:16,
Isa_45:9.
Rom
9:21 Does not the potter have authority over the clay, from the same lump
to make one vessel for value and another not for value?
Rom
9:22 And if Elohim, desiring to show wrath, and to make His power known,
with much patience tolerated the vessels of wrath prepared for
destruction,
Rom
9:23 and that He might make known the riches of His esteem on vessels of
compassion, which He had prepared beforehand for esteem,
Rom
9:24 even whom He called, not only us of the Yehuḏim, but also of the nations?
Exo 4:23 so I say to you, let My son go to serve
Me. But if you refuse to let him go, see, I am killing your son, your
first-born.”’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm7Ux01CWw0&t=6s
Exo 4:24 And it came to be on the way, in the lodging place, that יהוה met him and sought to kill him.
Exo 4:25 And Tsipporah took a sharp stone and cut
off the foreskin of her son and threw it at his feet, and said, “You are indeed
a bridegroom of blood to me!”
Exo 4:26 So He let him go. Then she said, “You are
a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision. (because of Covenant)
Tzipporah was in fact stating that she could not
be in covenant with a man a man who condoned the bloody mutilation of an infant’s
foreskin – for the sake of YHVH’s covenant - so she throws the infants foreskin
most probably on Moses genitals (Heb euphemism for feet)
YHVH was stating that He could not allow a man to
lead His people out of bondage while the leader himself was violating the
covenant – the perfect law of freedom – James 1:25
Exo 4:29 And Mosheh went (Vayelech (וַיֵּלֶךְ)) with Aharon and
gathered together all the elders of the children of Yisra’ěl.
Exo 4:30 And Aharon spoke all the words which יהוה had spoken to Mosheh.
Then he did the signs before the eyes of the people.
Exo 4:31 And the people believed. And they heard
that יהוה
had visited the children of Yisra’ěl and that He had looked on their
affliction, and they bowed their heads and did obeisance.
Exo 5:1 And afterwards Mosheh and Aharon went in
and said to Pharaoh, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ěl, ‘Let My people go, so that they celebrate a
festival to Me in the wilderness.’”
This confrontation perfectly mirrors Moses' personal
life. Just as Moses had to enact shillûach (sending away) on his own
family to cut away internal compromise (Exodus 18:2), he is now demanding that
Pharaoh enact shillûach on the entire nation.
Moses knows that halfway measures will not work. If
Israel remains inside the proximity and economic system of Egypt, they will
never truly be free to "respect and honour YHVH". They must step out
completely.
1Co
2:7 But we speak the wisdom of Elohim, which was hidden in a secret, and
which Elohim ordained before the ages for our esteem,
1Co
2:8 which no one of the rulers of this age knew, for if they had known,
they would not have impaled the Master of esteem.
Rev 17:16 “And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these shall hate the whore, and lay her waste and naked, and eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
This verse reveals a critical law of cosmic justice: the
Egyptian/Babylonian world system is inherently self-destructive and acts as its
own executioner.
The profound irony of this text is explained in the very
next verse (Revelation 17:17), which states that YHVH put it into
their hearts to fulfill His purpose.’’
Isaiah 14 explicitly depicts the King of Babylon
descending into Sheol, where the ghosts of former tyrants rise up to mock his
sudden powerlessness, saying, "You also have become weak, as we
are!" (Isaiah 14:10).
Galatians 6:7 states that YHVH is not mocked; whatever a
person sows, they will reap. Tyrants who impose wrongful sentences on earth are
spiritually drafting their own divine sentence. They believe they are
untouchable.
However, scriptural truth emphasizes that their earthly
authority is completely temporary. The moment they enter Sheol, their political
immunity vanishes instantly. They stand naked before the Creator, where the
sheer volume of their unrepentant crimes legally seals their long, inescapable
judgment.’’
YHVH is now legally and fully justified in passing long
term prison sentences on these tyrants – some may be set free others will
remain in prison and torment eternally.’’
There never was nor ever will be - with YHVH, there is
no such thing as a "straw that broke the camel's back" because He
never acts out of sudden loss of control, emotional exhaustion, or human
frustration.
When judgment
hits, it happens because the legal measure of sin has reached 100% capacity.
It is a YHVH conclusion, not an emotional breakdown.
Exo 5:4 But the sovereign of Mitsrayim said to them, “Mosheh and Aharon, why do you take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens.”
Exo 5:5 And Pharaoh said, “See, the people of the
land are many now, and you make them cease from their burdens!” (Pharoah thinks
he is in control)
Exo 5:6 And the same day Pharaoh commanded the
slave-drivers of the people and their foremen, saying,
Exo 5:7 “You are no longer to give the people straw
to make bricks as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
Exo 5:8 “And lay on them the required amount of
bricks which they made before, do not diminish it. For they are idle, that is
why they cry out, saying, ‘Let us go and slaughter to our Elohim.’
Exo 5:9 “Let more work be laid on the men, so that
they labour in it, and not pay attention to words of falsehood.”
Exo 5:10 And the slave-drivers of the people and
their foremen went out and spoke to the people, saying, “Thus said Pharaoh, ‘I
do not give you straw.
Exo 5:11 ‘Go, take straw for yourselves, where ever
you find it, for your work shall not be diminished.’ ”
Exo 5:12 And the people were scattered in all the
land of Mitsrayim – to gather stubble for straw.
Exo 5:13 And the slave-drivers were hurrying them
on, saying, “Fulfill your actions, your daily matters, as when there was
straw.” (straw was used to bind clay bricks)
Exo 5:14 Also the foremen of the children of
Yisra’ěl, whom Pharaoh’s slave-drivers had set over them, were struck and were
asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your law in making bricks both yesterday and
today, as before?” (no longer a state supply of straw)
Exo 5:15 And the foremen of the children of
Yisra’ěl came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you treat your servants
this way?
Exo 5:16 “There is no straw given to your servants,
and they say to us, ‘Make bricks!’ And see, your servants are struck, but your
own people are at fault.”
Exo 5:17 But he said, “You are idle! You are idle!
That is why you say, ‘Let us go and slaughter to יהוה.’
Exo 5:18 “So now go, work. And straw is not given
to you, but deliver the amount of bricks.”
Exo 5:19 And the foremen of the children of
Yisra’ěl saw that they were in trouble after it was said, “You are not to
diminish your daily amount of bricks.”
Exo 5:20 And when they came out from Pharaoh, they
met Mosheh and Aharon who stood there to meet them.
Exo 5:21 And they said to them, “Let יהוה look on you and
judge, because you have made us loathsome in the eyes of Pharaoh (of the anti
christ and his system) and in the eyes of his servants, to give a sword in
their hand to kill us.”
Exo 5:22 And Mosheh returned to יהוה and said, “יהוה, why have You done
evil to this people? Why did You send me?
Exo 5:23 “For ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak
in Your Name, he has done evil to this people. And You have not delivered Your
people at all.”
Exo
6:1 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Now see what I do to
Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he is going to let them go, and with a strong
hand he is going to drive them out of his land.”
1Co
10:12 so that he who thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he
fall.
By using this phrase, Paul establishes that the command to exit the world system is not a new prophetic idea; it is a foundational rule of Covenant keeping, a deep uncompromising commitment to covenant living.
Heb 4:2 For indeed the Good News was brought to us as well as to them, but the word which they heard did not profit them, not having been mixed with belief in those who heard it.
Blessed
are you YHVH, 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 – Amein.
