Parashat 47 Portion 156 Dev 13:2 – 14:3 Ps 119:73-96 Yesh 63:8-16 & 64:7-8 Mark 14:32-42



Bar’chu et YHVH ha-m’vorach, Baruch YHVH ha-m’vorach l’O’lam va-ed! Baruch ata YHVH Elohim melech ha-olam asher bachar banu m’kol ha-amim, v’na-tan lanu eht Torah-to. Baruch atah YHVH, noteyn ha-Torah. Ameyn.”

(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. Blessed are you, YHVH, giver of the Torah. Ameyn)

"See, I place before you today a blessing and a curse." (Deut. 11:26)
“’The level of perception denoted by "sight" is a direct revelation from YHVH, not something we attain on our own.’’ The Ruach of Elohim gives us understanding as to what is happening in and around us, according YHVH’s Word.

Deu 13:1  “When there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he shall give you a sign or a wonder, כִּי-יָקוּם בְּקִרְבְּךָ נָבִיא
Deu 13:2  and the sign or the wonder shall come true, of which he has spoken to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other mighty ones – which you have not known – and serve them,’ 
Deu 13:3  do not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for יהוה your Elohim is trying you to know whether you love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being. 

The word for "testing" ('menase') also can be translated "elevating." Thus, this verse may be interpreted to mean, "G‑d tests a person in order to elevate him to a higher level of Divine knowledge."

Deu 13:4  “Walk after יהוה your Elohim and fear Him, and guard His commands and obey His voice, and serve Him and cling to Him. 
Deu 13:5  “And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is put to death, because he has spoken apostasy against יהוה your Elohim – who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim and ransomed you from the house of bondage – to make you stray from the way in which יהוה your Elohim commanded you to walk. Thus you shall purge the evil from your midst. 
Deu 13:6  “When your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own being, entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other mighty ones’– which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, 
Deu 13:7  of the mighty ones of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth – 
Deu 13:8  do not agree with him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pardon him, nor spare him or conceal him, 
Deu 13:9  but you shall certainly kill him. Your hand is first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people, 
Deu 13:10  and you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage. 
Deu 13:11  “And let all Yisra’ěl hear and fear, and not again do any such evil matter as this in your midst. 
Deu 13:12  “When you hear someone in one of your cities, which יהוה your Elohim gives you to dwell in, saying, 
Deu 13:13  Some men, sons of Beliya‛al,(Heb – failure to ascend) have gone out of your midst and led the inhabitants of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other mighty ones” ’ – mighty ones whom you have not known – 
Deu 13:14  then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. And see if the matter is true and established that this abomination was done in your midst, 
Deu 13:15  you shall certainly strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, putting it under the ban, and all that is in it and its livestock, with the edge of the sword. 
Deu 13:16  “And gather all its plunder into the middle of the street, and completely burn with fire the city and all its plunder, before יהוה your Elohim. And it shall be a heap(Tel) forever, never to be built again. 
Deu 13:17  “And none of that which is put under the ban is to cling to your hand, so that יהוה turns from the fierceness of His displeasure and shall show you compassion, love you and increase you, as He swore to your fathers, 
Deu 13:18  when you obey the voice of יהוה your Elohim, to guard all His commands which I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of יהוה your Elohim. 
Deu 14:1  “You are the children of יהוה your Elohim. Do not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head for the dead, 
Deu 14:2  for you are a set-apart people to יהוה your Elohim, and יהוה has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a treasured possession above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. 
Deu 14:3  “Do not eat whatever is abominable. 

What is evidence of been sealed in the Ruach?
Eph 1:13  in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your deliverance, in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Set-apart Spirit of promise, 

Joh 3:6  “That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. 

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. 
Rom 8:5  For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the matters of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the matters of the Spirit. 
Rom 8:6  For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace. 
Rom 8:7  Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself to the Torah of Elohim, neither indeed is it able, 
Rom 8:8  and those who are in the flesh are unable to please Elohim. 
Rom 8:9  But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Messiah, this one is not His. 
Rom 8:10  And if Messiah is in you, the body is truly dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of righteousness. 
Rom 8:11  And if the Spirit of Him who raised יהושע from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Messiah from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit dwelling in you. 

Act 5:32  “And we are His witnesses to these matters, and so also is the Set-apart Spirit whom Elohim has given to those who obey Him.”c Footnote: cSee also 1Jn_3:24. 
Act 5:33  And those hearing were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them. 

Difference between indwelling and manifesting of Ruach

Joh 7:38  “As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water.”d Footnote: d Isa_44:3, Jer_2:13, Jer_17:13, Zec_14:8, Psa_36:8-9, Pro_14:27, Joh_4:10, Joh_6:63, 1Co_10:4, Rev_7:17, Rev_21:6, Rev_22:1 and Rev_22:17. 
Joh 7:39  And this He said concerning the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive, for the Set-apart Spirit was not yet given,e because יהושע was not yet esteemed. Footnote: e Eze_36:26-27, Joe_2:28-32, Act_1:4-8, Act_2:4, Act_2:33, Act_10:44-47, Act_11:15-16, Eph_5:18. 
Joh 16:7  “But I say the truth to you. It is better for you that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you at all, but if I go, I shall send Him to you. 
Joh 16:12  “I still have many words to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now. 
Joh 16:13  “But when He comes, the Spirit of the Truth, He shall guide you into all the truth. For He shall not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears He shall speak, and He shall announce to you what is to come. 
Joh 16:14  “He shall esteem Me, for He shall take of what is Mine and announce it to you. 
Joh 16:15  “All that the Father has is Mine. That is why I said that He takes from what is Mine and announces it to you.
Act 2:15  “For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, since it is only the third hour of the day. 
Act 2:16  “But this is what was spoken by the prophet Yo’ěl: 
Act 2:17  ‘And it shall be in the last days, says Elohim, that I shall pour out of My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams, 
Act 2:18  and also on My male servants and on My female servants I shall pour out My Spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy. 
Act 2:19  ‘And I shall show wonders in the heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapour of smoke. 
Act 2:20  ‘The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of יהוה. 

Gal 4:28  And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise. 
Gal 4:29  But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him born according to the Spirit, so also now. 

Rom 8:16  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Elohim, 
Act 8:16  for He had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been immersed in the Name of the Master יהושע. 

Act 8:17  Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Set-apart Spirit. 

Spiritual Gifts
1Co 12:1  And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. 
1Co 12:2  You know that you were nations,a led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. Footnote: aSee also Eph_2:11, Eph_4:17, 1Pe_4:3, 1Th_4:5. 
1Co 12:3  Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit. 
1Co 12:4  And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 
1Co 12:5  There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. 
1Co 12:6  And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all.

Parashat 47 Portion 155 – Dev 12;20-13:12 Ps 119:49-72 Yes 54:2-9 + 17 Mark 14:26-31



Bar’chu et YHVH ha-m’vorach, Baruch YHVH ha-m’vorach l’O’lam va-ed! Baruch ata YHVH Elohim melech ha-olam asher bachar banu m’kol ha-amim, v’na-tan lanu eht Torah-to. Baruch atah YHVH, noteyn ha-Torah. Ameyn.”

(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. Blessed are you, YHVH, giver of the Torah. Ameyn)

To gain more insight into this Torah portion we need to look to the events and conditions that will prevail during the millennium – the one-thousand-year reign of Messiah from Mount Tzion in Yerushalayim over all the surviving nations that remain on the earth.
It is evident from the declarations and descriptions given to us by the prophets that true and everlasting righteousness and set apartness will have the ascendancy over everything else. ‘’The remains of the corrupt nature will be so overpowered by the resplendent light of the One true faith, that every improper desire or action will be suppressed and kept in subordination, by the power and authority of our Messiah – Yahshua.’’ (W C Davis – A Treatise on The Millennium)

The Torah ultimately shows and prepares us for life during the millennium. 

Rom 10:4  For Messiah is the goal [b] of the ‘Torah unto righteousness’ to everyone who believes. Footnote: b Or end purpose; not termination. 

Only Messiah has been given the authority to bring all matters into subjection to YHVH and to present a ‘’Bride’’ without spot or wrinkle before his and our Heavenly Father – Eph 5:27; Jude 1:24

1Co 15:27  For “He has put all under His feet.” Psa_8:6 But when He says “all are put under Him,” it is clear that He who put all under Him is excepted. (YHVH is excluded)
1Co 15:28  And when all are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself shall also be subject to Him who put all under Him, in order that Elohim be all in all.

Deu 12:20  “When יהוה your Elohim enlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you eat as much meat as your being desires. 
Deu 12:21  “When the place where יהוה your Elohim chooses to put His Name is too far from you, then you shall slaughter from your herd and from your flock which יהוה has given you, as I have commanded you, and you shall eat within your gates as much as your being desires. 
Deu 12:22  “Only, as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you are to eat of it. The unclean and the clean alike eat of it. 
Deu 12:23  “Only, be strong not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, do not eat the life with the meat. 
Deu 12:24  “Do not eat it, you pour it on the earth like water. 
Deu 12:25  “Do not eat it, that it might be well with you and your children after you, when you do what is right in the eyes of יהוה. 
Deu 12:26  “Only, the set-apart gifts which you have, and your vowed offerings, you are to take up and go to the place which יהוה chooses. 
Deu 12:27  “And you shall make your ascending offerings, the meat and the blood, on the slaughter-place of יהוה your Elohim. And the blood of your slaughterings is poured out on the slaughter-place of יהוה your Elohim, and you eat the meat. 
Deu 12:28  “Guard, and obey all these words which I command you, that it might be well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the eyes of יהוה your Elohim. 

Warning Against Idolatry
Deu 12:29  “When יהוה your Elohim does cut off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, 
Deu 12:30  guard yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire about their mighty ones, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their mighty ones? And let me do so too.’c Footnote: cSee also Deu_18:9, Lev_18:3, Jer_10:2, Eze_11:12 and Eze_20:32, Eph_4:17, and 1Pe_4:3.

Cheshvan 4 (3 in sigting of newmoon calendar) - Parashat 47 Portion 154a ‘’Re eh’’ Dev 11:26-12:28 Yesh 54:11-55:6 1Tim 6:13-16



Bar’chu et YHVH ha-m’vorach, Baruch YHVH ha-m’vorach l’O’lam va-ed! Baruch ata YHVH Elohim melech ha-olam asher bachar banu m’kol ha-amim, v’na-tan lanu eht Torah-to. Baruch atah YHVH, noteyn ha-Torah. Ameyn.”

(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. Blessed are you, YHVH, giver of the Torah. Ameyn

1Ti 6:13  In the sight of Elohim who gives life to all, and of Messiah יהושע who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you: 
1Ti 6:14  that you guard the command[b] spotlessly, blamelessly, until the appearing of our Master יהושע Messiah, Footnote: bCommand (singular) often means commands, e.g. Deu_17:20, Psa_19:8. 
1Ti 6:15  which in His own seasons He shall reveal – the blessed and only Ruler, the Sovereign of sovereigns and Master of masters, 
1Ti 6:16  who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or is able to see, to whom be respect and everlasting might. Aměn. 

Deu 11:26  See,(Re eh – singular, imperative)) I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: 
Deu 11:27  the blessing, when you obey the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I command you today; 
Deu 11:28  and the curse, if you do not obey the commands of יהוה your Elohim, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other mighty ones(spiritual leaders) which you have not known.  John 3:36

Pro 21:2  All a man’s ways are right in his own eyes, But יהוה weighs the hearts. 

When there is an absence of blessing in our lives we often resort to the ‘’Adam anointing’’ we blame somebody or something else. Circumstances and  people can cause us harm and unhappiness, however our shalom depends on how we handle what happens to us. Prov 4:23 and Ps 139:23,24.

Shaul elevates this very serious issue to reveal to us what the Torah is ultimately saying on this issue.

Gal 1:6  I marvel that you are so readily turning away from Him who called you in the favour of Messiah, to a different ‘Good News,’[a] Footnote: a 2Co_11:4. 
Gal 1:7  which is not another, only there are some who are troubling you and wishing to pervert the Good News of Messiah. 
Gal 1:8  However, even if we, or a messenger out of heaven, bring a ‘Good News’ to you beside what we announced to you, let him be accursed. 
Gal 1:9  As we have said before, and now I say again, if anyone brings a ‘Good News’ to you beside what you have received, let him be accursed. 

The Greek word for ‘’curse’’ is ‘’anathema’’ or ‘’cherem’’ in Hebrew. This word warn of the final penalty for disobeying YHVH, His Messiah and His Torah.

Deu 11:29  And it shall be, when יהוה your Elohim has brought you into the land which you go to possess, that you shall put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ěyḇal. 
Deu 11:30  Are they not beyond the Yarděn, toward the setting sun, in the land of the Kena‛anites who dwell in the desert plain opposite Gilgal, beside the terebinth trees of Moreh? 


Deu 11:31  For you are passing over the Yarděn to go in to possess the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it, 
Deu 11:32  and shall guard to do all the laws and right-rulings which I am setting before you today.’ 
Deu 12:1  “These are the laws and right-rulings which you guard to do in the land which יהוה Elohim of your fathers is giving you to possess, all the days that you live on the soil. 
Deu 12:2  "Completely destroy all the places where the nations which you are dispossessing served their mighty ones, on the high mountains and on the hills and under every green tree. 
Deu 12:3  “And you shall break down their slaughter-places, and smash their pillars, and burn their Ashěrim with fire. And you shall cut down the carved images of their mighty ones and shall destroy their namea out of that place. Footnote: aThe names of the gentile deities (mighty ones). 
Deu 12:4  “Do not do so to יהוה your Elohim, 
Deu 12:5  but seek the place which יהוה your Elohim chooses, out of all your tribes, to put His Name there, for His Dwelling Place, and there you shall enter. (Yerushalayim)
Deu 12:6  “And there you shall take your ascending offerings, and your slaughters, and your tithes, and the contributions of your hand, and your vowed offerings, and your voluntary offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock. 
Deu 12:7  “And there you shall eat before יהוה your Elohim, and shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which יהוה your Elohim has blessed you. 
Deu 12:8  “Do not do as we are doing here today – each one doing whatever is right in his own eyes.[b] Footnote: bSee Jdg_17:6 and Jdg_21:25. 

The blessing comes from doing what is right in His Eyes.

Deu 12:9  “Because you have not yet entered the rest and the inheritance which יהוה your Elohim is giving you. (Heb 3:11; Ps 95:7-11)
Deu 12:10  “But you shall pass over the Yarděn, and shall dwell in the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to inherit, and He shall give you rest from all your enemies round about, and you shall dwell in safety. 
Deu 12:11  “And it shall be, that unto the place which יהוה your Elohim chooses to make His Name dwell there, there you are to bring all that I command you: your ascending offerings, and your slaughters, and your tithes, and the contributions of your hand, and all your choice offerings which you vow to יהוה. 

Worship of YHVH in Spirit and in Truth – Yoh 4:23 is the key that opens the door to blessing.
Deu 12:12  “And you shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim, you and your sons and your daughters, and your male servants and your female servants, and the Lěwite who is within your gates, since he has no portion nor inheritance with you. 
Deu 12:13  “Guard yourself that you do not offer your ascending offerings in every place that you see, 
Deu 12:14  except in the place which יהוה chooses, in one of your tribes, there you are to offer your ascending offerings, and there you are to do all that I command you. 
Deu 12:15  “Only, whatever your being desires you shall slaughter and eat, according to the blessing of יהוה your Elohim which He has given you, within all your gates. The unclean and the clean do eat of it, of the gazelle and the deer alike. 
Deu 12:16  “Only, the blood you do not eat, pour it on the earth like water. 
Deu 12:17  “You are not allowed to eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or of the firstlings of your herd or your flock, or of any of your offerings which you vow, or of your voluntary offerings, or of the contribution of your hand. 
Deu 12:18  “But eat them before יהוה your Elohim, in the place which יהוה your Elohim chooses, you and your son and your daughter, and your male servant and your female servant, and the Lěwite who is within your gates. And you shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim in all that you put your hands to. 
Deu 12:19  “Guard yourself that you do not forsake the Lěwite as long as you live in your land. 
Deu 12:20  “When יהוה your Elohim enlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, ‘Let me eat meat,’ because you long to eat meat, you eat as much meat as your being desires. 
Deu 12:21  “When the place where יהוה your Elohim chooses to put His Name is too far from you, then you shall slaughter from your herd and from your flock which יהוה has given you, as I have commanded you, and you shall eat within your gates as much as your being desires. 
Deu 12:22  “Only, as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you are to eat of it. The unclean and the clean alike eat of it. 
Deu 12:23  “Only, be strong not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life, do not eat the life with the meat. 
Deu 12:24  “Do not eat it, you pour it on the earth like water. 
Deu 12:25  “Do not eat it, that it might be well with you and your children after you, when you do what is right in the eyes of יהוה. 
Deu 12:26  “Only, the set-apart gifts which you have, and your vowed offerings, you are to take up and go to the place which יהוה chooses. 
Deu 12:27  “And you shall make your ascending offerings, the meat and the blood, on the slaughter-place of יהוה your Elohim. And the blood of your slaughterings is poured out on the slaughter-place of יהוה your Elohim, and you eat the meat. 
Deu 12:28  “Guard, and obey all these words which I command you, that it might be well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the eyes of יהוה your Elohim. 

Isa 54:13  and all your children taught by יהוה, and the peace of your children great. 
Isa 54:14  “In righteousness you shall be established – far from oppression, for you shall not fear, and far from ruin, for it does not come near you. 
Isa 54:15  “See, they shall indeed assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever shall assemble against you falls for your sake! 
Isa 54:17  “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall prove wrong. This is the inheritance of the servants of יהוה, and their righteousness from Me,” declares יהוה.
Isa 55:5  “See, a nation you do not know you shall call, and a nation who does not know you run to you, because of יהוה your Elohim, and the Set-apart One of Yisra’ěl, for He has adorned you.” 
Isa 55:6  Seek יהוה while He is to be found, call on Him while He is near. 

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.)
