"Right-Rulings" Laws of Yahuah

The first time Yahuah called me to sit at His feet to really dig into something so He could show me His Truth, was all about His instructions/right-rulings. For so long, I regurgitated the lies from the pulpit without even really digging into what was written. I'd say things like:
No one can't keep 613 laws
Messiah freed us from that
If you break one, you break them all (totally taken out of context)
Paul says...or any of the well-known variations of excuses that not only lead to lawlessness, but also, keep you on the road that leads to destruction.
The very first thing Yahuah revealed after He gave me eyes to see, was just how important His instructions were and so it made sense that He walked me through each and every word and showed me how His instructions were given, what they meant, and who they were for. The time I spent being led by the Ruach Ha'Kodesh was not only intimate, but it was also even more so, spiritually eye opening. The more we lean into the Most High seeking His Truth (especially so we can honor Him as He instructs), the more He rewards us with the gift of Wisdom.
Up until now, I hadn't felt led to share in a written-out format. I knew I was supposed to share, and I did make an audio post discussing what I am sharing here. I am going to write out what is found in Torah, and number the so called 613. When led, I will share the notes I took while I was being shown the things I missed that were there all along.
SHEMOTH (Exodus) Chapter 21
#1 "When you buy a Hebrew servant, he serves 6 years, and in the 7th, he gets out free for naught."
a. "If he comes in by himself, he goes out by himself; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him."
b. "If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife & her children are her master's, and he goes out by himself."
I. "And if the servant truly says, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children, let me not go out free.'--then his master shall bring him before Elohim, and shall bring him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever."
c. "And when a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she does not go out as the male servants do."
I. "If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master who has engaged her to himself, then she shall let her be ransomed. He shall have no authority to sell her to a foreign people, because of him deceiving her.
II. "And if he has engaged her to his son, he is to do to her as is the right of daughters."
III. "And if he does not do these three for her, then she shall go out for naught, without silver.
#2 "He who strikes a man so that he dies shall certainly be put to death"
a. "But if he did not lie in wait, but Elohim delivered him to his hand, then I shall appoint for you a place where he is to flee."
b. "But when a man acts presumptuously against his neighbor, to kill him by treachery, you are to take him even from My slaughter place to die.
#3 "And he who strikes his father or his mother shall certainly be put to death."
#4 "And he who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall certainly be out to death."
#5 "And he who curses his father or mother shall certainly be put to death."
#6 "And when strive {Strong's Lexicon "strive" = quarreling-physically (or with words) to contend against} together, and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist, and he does not die but is confined to his bed,
a. "if he rises again and walks about outside with his staff, then he who struck him is innocent.
I. He only pays for lost time and sees to it that he is completely healed.
#7 "And when a man strikes his male or female servant with a rod, so that he dies under his hand, he shall certainly be avenged; for he is property,"
#8 "And when men strive and they shall smite a pregnant woman, and her children come out, yet there is no injury, he shall certainly be punished accordingly as the woman's husband lays upon him. And he shall give through the judges.
a. "But if there is an injury, then you shall give life for life.
I. "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, hand for a hand, foot for a foot, burn for a burn, wound for a wound, lash for a lash."
#9 "And when a man strikes the eye of his male/female servant, and destroys it, he is to let him go free for the sake of his eye."
#10. "And if he knocks out the tooth of his male/female servant, he is to let him go free for the sake of his tooth."
#11 "And when an ox gores {Strong's Lexicon= push, thrust, wage war} a man or woman to death, then the ox shall certainly be stoned, and it's flesh NOT eaten, and the owner of the ox is innocent.
a. "However, if the ox was previously in the habit of goring, and its owner has been warned, and he had not kept it confined, so that it has killed a man or a woman, the ox is stoned and its owner is also put to death.
I. "If a sin covering is laid upon him, then he shall give the ransom of his life, what is laid on him.
II. "Whether it has gored a son or daughter, according to this right ruling, it is done to him.
III. "If the ox gores a male or female servant, he is to give to their master 30 sheqels of silver, and the ox is stoned.
#12 "And when a man opens (digs) a pit, or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it, and an ox or donkey falls in it, the owner of the pit is to repay, he is to give silver to their owner, and the dead beast is his.
#13 "And when the ox of a man smites the ox of his neighbors and it dies, then they shall sell the live ox and divide the silver from it and also divide the dead ox.
a. "Or if it was known that the ox was previously in the habit of goring, and its owner had not kept it confined, he shall certainly repay ox for ox, while the dead beast is his.
SHEMOTH Chapter 22
#14 "When a man steals an ox or a sheep, and shall slaughter it or sell it, he repays 5 cattle for an ox, and 4 sheep for a sheep.
#15 "If a thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there is no guilt for his bloodshed.
#16 "If the sun has risen on him, there is guilt for his bloodshed, he shall repay.
a. "If he has not the means, then he shall be sold for his theft.
b. "If a thief is indeed found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or a donkey, or a sheep, he repays double.
#17 "When a man lets a field or vineyard be grazed bare, and lets loose his livestock, and it feeds in another man's field, he repays from the best of his own vineyard.
#18 "When a fire breaks out and spreads to thorn bushes, so that stacked grain, or standing grain, or the field is consumed, he who kindled the fire shall certainly repay.
#19 "When a man gives silver or gold to his neighbor to guard, and it stolen out of the man's house, if the thief is found, he repays double.
a. "If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought before elohim {Strong's Lexicon = judges} to see whether he had put his hands into his neighbor's goods.
I. "For every matter of transgression, for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for garment, or whatever is lost which another claims to be his, let the matter of them both come before elohim (judges). And whomever elohim declares wrong repays double to his neighbor.
#20 "When a man gives to his neighbor a donkey or ox, or sheep, or any beast to watch over, and it dies, or is injured, or is driven away while no one is looking, let an oath of Yahuah be between them both, that he had not put his hand into his neighbor's goods (stolen, taken, sent away) and the owner of it shall accept that, and he does not repay.
a. "But if it is indeed stolen from him, he repays it to its owner.
I. "If it is torn in pieces, then let him bring it for evidence, he does not repay what was torn.
#21 "And when a man borrows from his neighbor, and it is injured or dies while the owner is not present, he shall certainly repay.
a. "But if the owner was present, he does not repay.
I. "If it was hired, he is entitled to the hire. [the fee covers the loss]
#22 "When a man entices (seduces) a maiden (virgin) who is not engaged, and lies with her, he shall certainly pay the bride price for her to be his wife.
~Just because it is not commonly practiced in all places doesn't mean that Yahuah intended for it to stop. This should show how important/valued a woman's body is. Sadly, this is NOT taught.
a. "If her father absolutely refused to give her to him, he pays according to the bride price of a maiden.
#23 "Do not allow practicers of witchcraft to live."
~This cannot be done today but it shows the importance of Yahuah's "Right-rulings". If this would have been obeyed from the beginning when it was first given to Mosheh, things would be less demonic & evil. All of Yahu's laws are for the benefit of His set-apart people. It's meant for good.
#24 "Anyone lying with a beast shall certainly be put to death."
~Once again, the same principle applies here.
#25 "He who slaughters to an elohim, except to Yahuah ONLY, is to be put under the ban.
#26 "Do not tread down a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Mitsrayim (Egypt)
#27 "Do not afflict {Strong's Lexicon= mistreat, put down, mishandle, humiliate} any widow or fatherless child.
a. "If you do afflict them at all-if they cry out to Me (Yahuah) at all, I shall certainly hear their cry, and My (Yahuah) wrath shall burn and I shall kill you with the sword, your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
#28 "If you do lend silver to any of My people (those in covenant with Yahuah-only), the poor among you, you are not to be like one that lends on interest to him. DO NOT LAY INTEREST ON HIM!
#29 "If you take your neighbor's garment as a pledge (collateral) at all, you are to return it to him before the sun goes down.
a. "For that is his only garment (covering), it is his garment for his skin. What does he sleep in?
I. "And it shall be that when he comes to Me, I shall hear, for I show favor
{In Strong's this simply means--gracious, or compassionate}
#30 "Do not revile {blaspheme: be insignificant, lightly esteemed, to make despicable. To curse, or to dishonor.} an elohim, --the lowercase backs the Strong's definition of "rulers" or "judges" which then the writings say for itself- nor curse a ruler of your people. This is literal. The Hebrew word used means to curse. Lay under a curse, to be cursed. *Remember--Yahuah appoints all. Even the ones of evil who have illegitimate rule must He knows about and overseas. Nothing is done without His knowledge.
#31 "Do not delay in giving Me your harvest and your vintage.
#32 "Give Me the first born of your sons.
a. "likewise you are to do with your oxen, with your sheep
I. "it is to be with its mother 7 days
II. "On the 8th day you give it to Me (Yahuah)
#33 "And you are to set-apart men to Me (Yahuah), and you do not eat any meat which is torn to pieces in the field. You throw it to the dogs.
SHEMOTH Chapter 23
#34 "Do NOT bring false report. Do not put your hand with the wrong to be a malicious witness.
#35 "Do not follow a crowd to do evil, nor bear witness in a strife so as to turn aside after many, to turn aside what is right. ~Don't just follow others regardless of how many. If they are wrong--stay away from them. Period! This should be common sense- and yet...
#36 "Do not favor a poor man in his strife. ~Judge justly without showing favoritism or pity
#37 "When you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall certainly return it to him.
#38 "When you see the donkey of him who hates you lying under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving it to him, you shall certainly help.
#39 "Do not turn aside the right-rulings of your poor in his strife. ~don't delay justice to the poor in their lawsuits. Again, this should be common sense. Do what is right not impartial.
#40 "Keep yourself far from a false matter, and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I (Yahuah) do not declare the wrong right.
#41 "And do not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the seeing one and twists the words of the righteous.
#42 "And do not oppress a sojourner, as you yourselves know the heart of a soujourner, because you were sojourners in the land of Mitsrayim. ~similar to #26
#43 "For 6 years you are to sow your land, and shall gather its increase
a. "but the 7th year you are to let it rest and shall leave it.
I. "and the poor of your people shall eat. And what they leave, the beasts of the field eat.
b. "Do the same with your vineyard & olive yard
#44 "Six days you are to do you work, and on the seventh day--you rest. In order that your ox, and your donkey, might rest, and the son of your female servant and the sojourner be refreshed.
~Shabat is a reprieve and renewal. It is the great leveler. Each and every being is call into "rest" with Yahuah. It's a good thing, not a punishment or burden.
#45 "And in all that I have said to you take heed. And make NO mention of the name of other mighty ones, let it NOT be heard from your mouth.
~Some versions use the word "invoke" so let's break this down. In Hebrew the word used means--to remember, call to mind, to mention, or to make a memorial.

SHEMOTH Chapter 24
This chapter goes over the 12 standing collums for the 12 tribes of Yisra'el, and Mosheh sprinkles blood on the peole before Yahuah in covenant. They are in agreement with the right-rulings and will obey Yahuah=Hebrew.
The word "Hebrew" means--from the other side. You once were not in covenant with Yahuah but then you willingly crossed over into covenant with Him.
*Actual= from the other side of the river/desert
which is exactly what Yahuah did (BOTH of them, too)
SHEMOTH Chapter 25 ~This chapter goes into great detail about what contributions are to be made to Yahuah i.e., gold, silver, and bronze, the linens--Yahuah even specifies the colors. The woods and the types that are acceptable to Him. All the spices are defined as well as further instructions on what to do with them. A list of stones and how they are to be arranged in the breastplate. How to make the Dwelling Place that is to be set-apart to Yahuah.
SHEMOTH Chapters 26 & 27 ~Are where the extremely detailed instructions for the Dwelling Place are given.
SHEMOTH Chapters 28 & 29 ~Is mostly for Aaron and the priests. Since Yahusha already came and is the High Priest--these are excellent to read and familiarize yourself with, but they are not laws for anyone who isn't from the blood line of Lewi (Levi)-as commanded by Yahuah. These instructions are meticulously detailed because Yahuah's ways are perfect and He will NOT accept anything short of perfection. Yahuah gives the conditions in which the priesthood must live in order to be set-apart and purified so they can be in Yah's presence as priests.
vs. 26-28 Right-ruling #51 "And you shall take the breast of the ram of Aharon's and from the ram of ordination you shall set-apart the breast of the wave offering which is waved, and the thigh of the contribution which is raised, of that which is for Aharon and of that which is for his sons. And it shall be from the children of Yisra'el for Aharon and his sons by law forever, for it is a contribution.
a. "And it is a contribution from the children of Yisra'el from the slaughters of their peace offerings--their contributions to Yahuah.
~We are then given further instructions from the priest (Aharon's family)
vs. 43 "And there I (Yahuah) shall meet with the children of Yisra'el, and it shall be set-apart by MY esteem."
vs. 45. "And I shall swell in the midst of the children of Yisra'el and shall be their Elohim."
vs. 46 "And they shall know that I am Yahuah their Elohim, who brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim, to swell in their midst. I am YAHUAH their Elohim."
SHEMOTH Chapter 30
1-11 are more instructions for the priesthood--Aharon's family.
#52 "When you take the census of the children of Yisra'el, to register them, then each one shall give atonement for his life to Yahuah, when you register them, so that there is no plague among them when you register them. ~Yahuah then breaks down what is to be given.
#53 "The rich does not give more, and the poor does not give less than half of a sheqel, when you give a contribution to Yahuah, to make atonement for yourselves.
1 shekel = .30 US dollar
breakdown= gold-1/1000 of a talent and equal to 220 grains
silver-1/3000 of a talent equal to 132 grains
copper-1/1500 of a talent and equal to 528 grains
A "talent" of gold=75 lbs. (34 kilograms) is roughly $3.6 million USD
at the time written the current rate of gold when researched the end of 2025 was $62,300/kilogram which would = $2,118,200 for a talent. So, 1/1000 of $2,118,200 is $2,118.20.
a. "And it shall be to the children of Yisra'el for a remembrance before Yahuah to make atonement for yourselves.
vs. 17-30 ~Yahuah gives instructions on how to make anointing oil (set-apart) to be used to purify the Tent of Appointment and the Ark of the Witness, and things already instructed that were to be set-apart in the temple of Yahuah.
vs. 32 then commands:
#54 "It shall not be poured on the flesh of a man, and make no other like it, according to its composition.
a. "It is set-apart, it is set-apart to you.
I. "Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stronger, shall be cut off from people."
v. 34 "And Yahuah said to Mosheh, 'Take sweet spices, fragrant gum, and cinnamon and galbanum. ~"glabaum" is a gum-like resin from the Ferula plant. It is found mostly in Central Asia and the Mediterranean. and clear frankincense with these sweet spices, all in equal amounts. Then you shall make of these an incense, a compound, work of a perfumer, salted, clean, set-apart.
a. "And you shall beat some of it very fine and put some of it before the witness in the Tent of Appointment, where I meet with you, it is most set-apart.
#55 "And the incense that you make, do NOT make any for yourselves, according to its composition,
a. "it is set-apart to you for Yahuah"
I. "Whoever makes ANY like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.
SHEMOTH Chapter 31 ~ Yahuah tells Mosheh that He called Betsal'el, son of Uri, son of Hur from the tribe of Yehuda (Judah) as a skilled artisan, as well as Oholiab son of Ahisamak (tribe of Dan). Yahuah says that He filled him with the Spirit of Wisdom (a gift of Yahuah), and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all works.
Yahuah qualifies the ones He calls--NOT the other way around.
vs. 12 "And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying:
#56 "And you, speak to the children of Yisra'el saying, 'My Shabats you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, Yahuah, am setting you apart.'
vs. 14.
a. "and you shall guard the Shabat for It is set-apart to you. Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people.
I. "6 days work is done and on the 7th is Shabat of rest, set-apart to Yahuah.
II. "Everyone doing work on the Shabat day shall certainly be put to death.
b. "And the children of Yisra'el shall guard the Shabat, to perform the Shabat throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.
I. "Between Me (Yahuah) and the children of Yisra'el it is a sign forever.
II. "For in 6 days Yahuah made the heaven and the earth, and on the 7th day He rested and was refreshed."
SHEMOTH Chapter 32 ~This chapter talks about the people growing impatient while Mosheh is away with Yahuah receiving the right-rulings. Aharon then makes for them the golden calf. While their hearts were in the right place, it does NOT excuse their behavior. This still implies only we have been conditioned to believe traditions of men over Yahuah's will and instructions. Yahuah then tells Mosheh to go and take care of the people who so quickly corrupted themselves.
vs. 9 "And Yahuah said to Mosheh, 'I have seen this people, and see, it is a stiff-necked people!'
vs. 10 "And now let Me alone, that My wrath might burn against them and I consume them and I make of you a great nation."
~Mosheh pleads with Yah to have mercy on them and to not cause the Mitsrites to speak against Yahuah. He asks Him to remember His promise to Abraham, Yitshaq, and Yisra'el. Mosheh then comes to bring the tablets down that Yahuah carved His Commands into.
In his anger, which was caused by seeing the wrongs the people profaned themselves with, Mosheh was overcome by his displeasure and broke the tablets. He then destroys the false idol and burned it, scattered the ashes on the water and made the people drink it.
When Mosheh asked the people, "Who is for Yahuah?" the ones that were with him were the sons of Lewi (Levi) the priesthood. They then were commanded by Mosheh to kill all those against Yahuah. Mosheh then told the ones who were left how grievous their son was and went back up the mountain to atone for them.
You are either for Yahuah OR against HIM--there is NO in between.
vs. 33 "And Yahuah said to Mosheh, 'Whoever has sinned against Me, I blot him out of My book. --Yahuah plagued the rest because of their sin.
SHEMOTH Chapter 33 ~In this chapter Yahuah tells Mosheh that He is going to take them to the land of Milk and Honey where He will drive out the people who live there. Yahuah tells Mosheh that He will no longer be in their midst because they are stiff-necked.
vs. 5 "And Yahuah said to Mosheh, "Say to the children of Isra'el, 'You are a stiff-necked people. Should I go up in your midst for one moment I shall consume you. And now, take off your ornaments, and I shall know what to do to you.'" ~Mosheh then takes his tent and sets it up far outside the camp and called it the Tent of Appointment. When he was in his tent, Yahuah's cloud column would descend and stand at the tent door.
In vs. 11, Yahuah spoke with Mosheh, face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.
Mosheh brought his concerns to Yah saying/asking who Yah will send--while before this, Yehoshua (Joshua) son of Nun came to the tent and stayed there. In vs. 12 Mosheh says, "See, You are saying to me, 'Bring up this people.' But You have not made known to me whom You would send with me, though you have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found favor in My eyes.'"
vs. 13 "And now please, If I have found favor in Your eyes, please show me Your way, and let me know You, so that I find favor in Your eyes, and consider that this nation is Your people." ~Then, in revealing their true relationship, Yahuah first says that He will leave and give Mosheh rest, but Mosheh didn't want Yah to leave him. Yahuah then lets Mosheh know He will go with him while once again telling Mosheh that he had found favor in Yah's eyes, and Yah knows his name. Yahuah offers Mosheh a chance to see His glory--"goodness"
vs. 19 "And He said, 'I shall cause all My goodness to pass before you, and I shall proclaim the Name of Yahuah before you. And I shall favor him who I favor, and shall have compassion on him whom I have compassion.
vs. 20 "But He said, "You are unable to see My face, for no man does see Me and live."
~Yahuah then places Mosheh on the rock which Yah says, "is with Him" (in the cleft) and covers Mosheh with His hand when He passes by.
vs. 23 "Then I shall take away My hand, and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.
SHEMOTH Chapter 34 ~Yahuah tells Mosheh to cut two new tablets (like the first two) for the 10 Commandments to be rewritten on.
vs. 5 "And Yahuah came down in the cloud and stood with him (Mosheh) there, and proclaimed the Name, Yahuah
vs. 6 "And Yahuah passed before him and proclaimed, 'Yahuah, Yahuah, an El' compassionate and showing favor, patient, and great in loving-commitment and truth,
vs. 7 "watching over loving commitment for thousands, forgiving crookedness, and transgression and sin, but by no means leaving unpunished, visiting the crookedness of the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the 3rd and 4th generation."
vs. 8 & 9 ~Mosheh does obeisance and asks Yahuah to forgive and stay with them.
vs. 10 ~Yahuah makes a covenant and tells Mosheh that He is going to do such 'wonders"--ones that there have never before been seen on earth.
vs. 11 ~Yah says, "Guard what I command you today." He tells Mosheh that He will drive out the Amorites, the Kena'anites, the Hittites, Perizzites, Hiwwite, and the Yebusites. Then Yah instructs in vs. 12 "Guard yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst. (13) "But break down their slaughter places and smash their pillars, and cut down their Asherim- for you DO NOT bow yourselves to another mighty one, for Yahuah, whose Name is jealous, is a jealous El."
~Yah continues detailing what takes place when/if we don't guard ourselves and obey/remain in HIM.
vs. 17
#57 (also 48-they are the same)
"Do NOT make molded mighty ones for yourselves."
~This means= no crosses, stars, images, whatever you have that you think is "honoring" or remembering Him--Yahuah HATES it and wants us to have nothing to do with it, regardless of our feelings or intentions.
#58 (also 46) "Guard the Festival of Matzot.
a. "For 7 days you eat unleavened bread, as I have commanded you, in the appointed time of the New Moon Abib, because in the New Moon of Abib you came out of Mitsrayim."
~In verses 19 & 20 Yahuah reiterates #32 which states every first born make--IN ALL THINGS, belongs to HIM
vs. 21 ~goes over the Shabat again--This is NO joke. It is not something we get to choose whether or not we feel like doing it, we are commanded to, Period. We must rest. It is a beautiful gift of His presence, and it is NOT a burden. One is NOT in covenant with Yahuah if they aren't honoring Shabat and keeping it set-apart.
vs. 22 ~Again instructs us to keep His Festivals, Shabv'ot (Feast of Weeks), and the Festival of Ingathering.
vs. 23 ~calls up #46 "Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Master, Yahuah, the Elohim of Yisra'el."
#59 "Do not slay the blood of My slaughter with leaven, and do not let the slaughtering of the Festival of Pesach (Passover) remain until morning.
vs. 26 ~Yahuah brings First-Fruits back up and reminds us that they belong to Him. He also reminds us once again, NOT to cook the young in the milk of the mother.
vs. 27 "And Yahuah said to Mosheh, 'Write these words for according to the mouth of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Yisra'el. (28) and he (Mosheh) was there with Yahuah forty days and forty nights. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the Words of the covenant, the Ten Words. ~This is what is commonly referred to as the 10 Commandments. People brought up in the church break the first 4, each one regarding the Most High, simply being in the church, aligning and following pagan rooted "religion".
verses 29-35 ~tell us that Mosheh literally lit up from being in the presence of Yahuah. It was so intense he had to put a veil on to cover his face when he was around the people. Mosheh would remove the veil when he was in the presence of Yahuah. WOW--Just WOW!! HalleluYAH!!
SHEMOTH Chapter 35
~Mosheh brings all the congregation together and tells the people what Yahuah had commanded--beginning with "SHABAT"
vs. 3 is where people get the idea that no cooking should be done--and I am not going to argue over man's interpretation, but the verse says, "Do NOT kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabat Day." If you feel that means you shouldn't cook--don't cook, but arguing over it, I assure you is NOT of Yahuah. That being said, this should be the next number so,
#60 "Do not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the Shabat Day.
vs. 5 "Take from among you a contribution to Yahuah, Everyone whose heart so moves him, let him bring it as contribution to Yahuah." ~Mosheh then instructs the people in regard to what should be given i.e., gold, silver, bronze, and all the things previously listed in an earlier chapter. Mosheh then goes over the details, as well as the importance of the Dwelling Place.
vs. 21 "And everyone whose heart lifted him up and everyone whose spirit moved him came and they brought the contributions to Yahuah for the work of the Tent of Appointment, and for all its service, and for set-apart garments. (22) and they came, both men and women, all whose hearts moved them, and brought earrings, and nose rings, and rings, and necklaces, all golden goods, even everyone who made a wave offering to Yahuah." ~this continues on with the linen, animal skins, the different types of wood, stones, etc., as well as their talents of spinning.
In verses 30-35, Mosheh tells the children of Yisra'el that Yahuah has called by name Betsal'el of Yahudah, and Oholiab of Dan as expert craftsmen.
SHEMOTH chapters 36, 37, & 38 ~details the instructions given by Yahuah being followed just as He commanded.
vs. 42. "According to all that Yahuah had commanded Mosheh, so the children of Yisra'el did all the work (43) and Mosheh looked over all the work and saw that they did it as Yahuah had commanded, so they had done. And Mosheh baruch them.
SHEMOTH Chapter 40 ~Yahuah gives detailed instructions of how/when to raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Appointment (Meeting). The Yisra'elites follow Yah's instructions, and we are told in vs. 34 "And the cloud covered the Tent of Appointment, and the esteem of Yahuah filled the Dwelling Place. (36) and when the cloud was taken up from above the Dwelling Place, the children of Yisra'el went onward in all their journeys. (37) But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. (38) For the cloud of Yahuah was on the Dwelling Place by day, and fore was on it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Yisra'el, in their journeys.
~I intentionally left out vs. 35 so I could go over it now, because it is extremely important to pay attention to and take note of what is being said.
vs. 35 "And Mosheh was not able to come into the Tent of Appointment, because the cloud dwelt on it, and the esteem of Yahuah filled the Dwelling Place."
WAYYIQRA (Leviticus) Chapter 1
#61 "When anyone of you brings an offering to Yahuah, you bring your offering of the livestock, of the herd or of the flock. ~Because we have Yahusha's blood as the ultimate sacrifice & offering of atonement the rest of the details and how Yahuah instructed His people should most definitely be read, but I will not be counting them as because the purpose of this is to go over what is commanded of Yah's people today. HalleluYah-All praise be to Yahuah for making the way and then fulfilling what He set in motion from the beginning. Just because I am not typing out each and every word, doesn't not mean they aren't important. I encourage everyone to get into Scripture and lean into the Most High for understanding.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 2 ~This chapter breaks down the grain offering to Yahuah. Yah tells how and what is acceptable and we are told they are to be given to Aharon and his sons (the priesthood) but this is no longer something we can do. There are no longer Yahuah appointed priests nor temple buildings--we are the temple and He alone is our High Priest. All others are false teachers without legitimacy--wolves in sheep's clothing
vs. 11
#62 "No grain offering which you bring to Yahuah is made with leaven, for you do not burn any sourdough or any honey in an offering to Yahuah made by fire.
a. "Bring them to Yahuah as an offering of the first fruits, but they are not burned on the slaughter-place for a sweet fragrance.
I. "And season with salt every offering of your grain offering, and do not allow the salt of your Elohim to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you bring salt.
~Instructions are then given on what to do with the grain offering of First-Fruits to Yahuah.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 3 ~In this chapter, Yahuah instructs in fine detail exactly how to prepare and present a peace offering. The precision and thorough breakdown of what is to be done to make it acceptable to Him should not be glossed over or taken lightly. Yahuah's ways aren't just suggestions that imply we get to do "what's in our hearts" that's a load of garbage you've been taught to keep you separated from the Truth. I understand that we live in a time that teaches the opposite. A time that teaches to listen to and follow your heart, but the Most High, Abba Yahuah tells us, NO. He says do as He has instructed if you want to follow HIM.
vs. 17 #63 "An everlasting law throughout your generations in all your dwellings: "You do NOT eat ANY fat or ANY blood."
WAYYIQRA Chapter 4
"And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh saying, "Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, 'When a being sins by mistake against ANY of the commands of Yahuah, which are NOT to be done, and shall do ANY of them...~I am going to go into this at a later time. I feel Yah calling me to go deeper into this but for the sake of studying the commands, I'm going to break those down.
#64 "If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then he shall bring to Yahuah...~every single detail is listed out so that the transgressor can be made right once again in the eyes of Yahuah. The next eight verses says step by step what needs to be done.
vs. 13 #65 "And if the entire congregation of Yisra'el strays by mistake, and the matter has been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done against any of the command of Yahuah, which are not to be done, and shall be guilty. ~this is the ones who grew up in the false teachings of "church" or any modern day "assembly" (could also be personal for different reasons as well) but this is everyone indoctrinated in religion. Each is guilty of breaking the first 4 Commands of Yahuah's. I encourage you to read for yourselves the steps required before Yahusha offered Himself as the only acceptable offering to atone for sin, because Yah can show you exactly what was done for the sins of the assembly--done by mistake. Listen, I can't speak for anyone other than myself when I say I don't believe that all church goers (the everyday people that think they are honoring their Creator) willingly are following the enemy and worshiping Lucifer. That being said, ignorance is NO excuse for not obeying the right-rulings of Yahuah.
The next 21 verses list out each and every step that must be taken to atone for the mistaken sins of the assembly.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 5
#66 "And when a being sins in that he has heard the voice of swearing."
~I am going to break this down a bit.
*The Berean Study Bible says, "If someone sins by failing to testify when he hears a public charge about something he has witnessed.
*The Holman Christian Standard words it this way, "When someone sins in any of these ways: If he has seen, heard, or known about something he has witnessed, and did not respond to a public call to testify, he is responsible for his sin.
back to the Scriptures:
"And is a witness, or had seen, or has known, but does not reveal it, he shall bear his crookedness.
#67 "Or when a being touches any unclean matter, or the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping creatures, and it has been hidden from him--he is unclean and guilty. ~another example that proves intention doesn't trump or excuse Yahuah's right rulings.
#68 "Or when he touches uncleanness of man,
"Unclean" in the Hebrew Strong's= impure (a) ethically & religiously and "Carcass" is broken down as--corpse (as we know) but then further explains of human, idols, and animals ~which serves as a reminder that only Yahuah is the TRUE and living Elohim. Everything else is false and leads to death. Let's continue:
"Any of his uncleanness by which he is unclean, and it has been hidden from him, when he shall know it, then he shall be guilty. ~Yahuah in this instruction, points out an unknowing period. Is this to call in mind intention or suggest that it does matter? I do not believe it does. In this case, the point is truly not knowing be it by choice of deceit, or just unaware. Either way, once it is made known--the sinner/transgressor MUST repent.
#69 "Or when a being swears, speaking rashly with his lips to do evil or to do good, whatever it is that a man swears rashly with an oath, and it has been hidden from him, when he shall know it, then he shall be guilty of one of these.
a. "And it shall be when he is guilty of one of these, that he shall confess that in which he has sinned. ~this as I was going over it, brought up things that took place when my eyes were opened. I grew up in American, in a "Catholic" home (before I was later aligned with "Christian organizations) and I was taught from a very young age to pledge my allegiance to a flag, to my country. Inside the "church" you're taught to pledge/swear/adhere to "creeds" to align/follow "traditions" of men, making us guilty once Yahuah gives us eyes to see, or someone points it out and you are shown the Truth.
The next seven verses detail how to atone for this but let's go to verse 13 which says.
vs. 13 "And the priest shall make atonement for him, for his sin that he has sinned in any of these, and it shall be forgiven him, and it shall be the priests, like a grain offering."
~This highlights what Yahusha has done for us. He was our offering, and He is the High Priest forever. We must acknowledge our sins, we must confess them, and Yahusha's blood atones and makes us clean. BUT then we must repent. DO NOT SIN AGAIN!!
SIN=transgression of law
Yahusha didn't die on a stake so we could do whatever we want based on our own moral compass. He didn't die for a lawless religion.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 6
#70 "And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying, "When any being sins, and committed a trespass against Yahuah, and has lied to his neighbor about a deposit, or about a pledge, or about a robbery, or shall extort from his neighbor, or has found what was lost and lied concerning it, or did swear falsely, so that he sins in regard to any one of all of these that a man does,
a. "then it shall be, when he sins, and shall be guilty,
I. "That he shall return what he took by robbery, or what he extorted, or the deposit which was deposited with him, or the lost item which he found.
b. "or all that about which he swore falsely.
I. "He shall repay its total value, add one-fifth more to it, and give it to whom it belongs, on the day of his guilt offering, to the priest.
~While there are no more human priests, we should be bringing our guilt offerings to, we are still called not to lie, steal, or extort, but Yahusha is our High Priest.
Yahuah then gives instructions on how and what the priest are to do. This is for Aharon and his sons (and the legit priesthood before Yahusha), and it explains the ascending offering which in vs. 9 it says,
vs. 9 "This is the ascending offering because it is burned on the slaughtering place all night until morning, and the fire of the slaughter place is kept burning on it. ~further instructions are given. Each detail is listed out even down to what needs to be worn by the priests. Verse 12 goes over a command for the priests regarding the slaughter-place which says,
"And the fire on the slaughter-place is kept burning on it, it is NOT put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and arrange the ascending offering on it, and shall burn the fat of the peace offerings. (13) Fire is continually kept burning on the slaughter-place, it is not put out. ~Next, the grain offering is detailed. These are instructions first and foremost for the appointed priesthood, but now, since Yahusha, the temple is our body. The sacrifice was HIM--the perfect, spotless Lamb. Verse 19 mentions a "FOREVER" law for the priests. It states that they are to eat of the grain offering. It is their portion of Yahuah's offerings. "All that touches them is to be set-apart" everything is listed out leaving no room for misunderstanding or man-made reasonings.
Verse 25 "Speak to Aharon and his sons, saying, "This is the Torah of the sin offering: In the place where the ascending offering is slain before Yahuah it is most Set-Apart."
a. "The priest who is making atonement, eats it, in the set-apart place it is eaten, in the courtyard of the Tent of Appointment
b. "All that touches its flesh is to be set-apart
I. "and when blood is sprinkled on any garments, you wash that on which it was sprinkled, in a set=apart place.
c. "But the earthen vessel in which it is cooked is to be broken.
I. "And if it is cooked in a bronze pot, then it is to be scoured and rinsed in water."
Verse 29 "Every male among the priests eats it, it is most set-apart. (30) And no sin offering from which any of the blood is brought into the Tent of Appointment, to make atonement in the set-apart place, is eaten, it is burned with fire.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 7
Verse 1 "And this is the Torah of the guilt offering. It is most set-apart.
~I was always taught that the Most High doesn't use guilt the Ruach convicts. And yet, this chapter talks all about guilt, so let's walk through it and allowing Yahuah to show us HIS Truth.
If we look at the word "guilt" and uncover it's meaning, we find that Merriam Webster's Dictionary defines it as: "feelings of deserving blame for offenses," However, the word in Hebrew means "offense, trespass, fault. The word "feeling" is not listed but the word "compensation" is.
Still confused? Let's dig deeper.
The "chatat" (sin offering), and the "asham" (guilt offering) at first glance, are different in the fact that chapters 1-3 set up a 3-part structure and don't give reasons for presenting one's offering. The biggest contrast that can be seen, is the "sin" (chatat) offering is for when we sin/break one of Yah's Commands, and the "guilt" (asham) calls out sin and offenses against sacred things and could be why the offerings are the same without the 3-part structure.
Does this change my mind on whether or not the Ruach Ha'Kodesh (Set-Apart Spirit) uses guilt? Not really. Who knows, maybe Yahuah will bring me down this path and call me to go deeper at a later time, but for now, let's move on.
Verse 7 "The guilt offering is like the sin offering, there is one Torah for them both; the priest who makes atonement with it, it is his. ~Yahuah further lists out the same priciple for the skin. The grains are to be the priests that makes the atonement.
Next, we move into peace & thanksgiving offerings. Again, with the same rules--the offering belongs to the priest after it is given to Yahuah.
Verse 16 explains that when an offering is made as a vow or voluntary, the offering should be eaten that day but may also be eaten the next. It is on day 3 that it must be burned because it is unclean and will not be accepted by Yahuah.
#71 V. 23 "Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, 'Do not eat any fat of bull or sheep, or goat. And the fat of a dead body, and the fat of what is torn, is used for any purpose, but you do not eat it at all. ~It's made clear that anyone that eats the fat or blood they are to be cut off.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 8
We are shown/told/given more instructions for the priests. Yahuah commands Mosheh to gather all the congregation to assemble at the door of the Tent of Appointments. And then, step-by-step--saying, "This is the word Yahuah commanded to be done." So, Mosheh brought Aharon and his sons and washed them with water." ~then he puts on the long garments, and girded him with the girdle, the robe, the shoulder garments, the embroidered band (just as Yahuah commanded/instructed them in how to make/prepare the turban for his head).
v.10 Mosheh anoints the Dwelling Place and all that was in it and sets them apart. He anointed the Slaughtering Place, and all utensils, and the basin, and it's base, and sets them apart. This was a purification as well as a dedication taking place just as Yahuah instructed. First, the place, then with Aharon, and then with Aharon's sons.
Verse 14 "And he brought the bull for the sin offering, and Aharon and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull for the sin offering, (15) and it was slain.
~Mosheh continues doing all the things just as Yahuah instructed. After the bull, he brought the ram of the ascending offering--for the sett fragrance, offered by fire to Yahuah. Then, second ram of ordination is brought. After it was slain, Mosheh took some blood and put it on the tip of Aharon's right ear, the thumb of his right hand, and the big toe of his right foot. Mosheh repeated the steps, putting the blood on Aharon's sons, and then he sprinkled the blood on the Slaughter Place all around. Mosheh then takes from the basket of unleavened bread and prepared for the wave offering before Yahuah.
Verse 30 "And Mosheh took some of the anointing oil, and some of the blood, which was on the Slaughter Place, and sprinkled it on Aharon, on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him. And he set-apart Aharon, his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him. ~Mosheh then tells them to eat what Yah
instructed from the Tent of Appointment for 7 days, until the "days of their ordination" is completed.
"'And He fills your hand for seven days,' this is what Yahuah commanded to do, as He has done this day, to make atonement for you. (35) And stay at the door of the Tent of Appointment, day and night for seven days. And you shall guard the duty of Yahuah, and not die, for so I have commanded." Verse 36 ends with their obedience.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 9
Mosheh instructs Aharon, his sons, and the elders of Yisra'el (as well as the people) how to prepare an ascending, sin, and peace offering before Yahuah so that His esteem appears before them. After, Aharon did all that had been instructed.
Verse 23 "And Mosheh and Aharon went onto the Tent of Appointments and came out and blessed the people. And the esteem of Yahuah appeared to all the people, (24) and fire came out from before Yahuah and consumed the ascending offering and the fat on the Slaughter-Place. And all the people saw and cried out loud and fell on their faces.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 10
"And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aharon, each took his fire holder and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and brought strange fire before Yahuah, which He had NOT commanded of them."
Let's really look at this:
Let's look at their names because, NAMES have meanings.
In Hebrew:
Nadab means: "Generous"
Abihu means: "He is my father"
Let's look into "strange" or in some translations, its "unauthorized". By simply changing it the translated word it causes a different meaning.
In Hebrew the word is "za-rah" and like I am sure you already figured out, the meaning is fitting. However, within the descriptive words, you'll find "loathsome" (of breath). Isn't that truly something?
Verse 2 "And fire came out from Yahuah, and consumed them, and they died before Yahuah. (3) Then Mosheh said to Aharon, "This is what Yahuah spoke, saying, 'By those who come near Me let Me be set-apart! And before all the people let Me be esteemed!' And Aharon was silent."
Other translations say:
"To those who come neat Me, I will show my holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory." (Berean Study) and/or "By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, and before all the people I will be honored."
~So often people (myself, at one time, included), foolishly believe their intentions can make things "right" or acceptable before Yahuah. And I am not sure why or how we could ever have been so wrong--willingly. Mislead or not-there's no excuse. Yahuah is clear!
Yahuah is the same yesterday, today, and FOREVER!
We aren't better than Him, and we DO NOT get to do our own things and assume, just because it has always been done, that Yahuah should accept it. That's RIDICULOUS!!
Verse 6 "And Mosheh said to Aharon, and to El'azar, and to Ithamar, his sons, 'Do not unbind your heads nor tear your garments, lest you die, and wrath come upon all the people. But let your brothers, all the house of Yisra'el, beware--the burning which Yahuah has kindled." ~What does this mean? It means that Yahuah allowed the death of Aharon's sons to be mourned--by--the--people. The priests though, should have known better and we are told this. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE for them to make even the slightest change to Yahuah's instructions/Commands/Laws.
The Creator MUST ALWAYS be--come before--over His creation. ALWAYS! No exceptions!
Verse 7 "And do not go out from the door of the Tent of Appointment, lest you die, for the anointing oil of Yahuah is upon you.' And they did according to the word of Mosheh. (8) And Yahuah spoke to Aharon saying, 'Do not drink wine or strong drink when you go into the Tent of Appointment, lest you die--a Law FOREVER throughout your generations. (10) So as to make a distinction between the set-apart and the profane, and between then unclean and the clean. (11) And to teach the children of Yisra'el has spoken to them by the hand of Mosheh.
~Mosheh then explains to Aharon and his other sons the provision Yahuah has set up for them as priests. Then there was more confusion with what to do with the goat from the sin offering, and when Mosheh asked them (El'azar & Ithamar) why they hadn't eaten the sin offering in the set-apart place to bear the crookedness of the congregation to make atonement for them before Yahuah. Aharon on behalf of his sons, asked for clarity and it ended with Mosheh telling them it was alright. Their father's concern about eating the offering was okay in the eyes of Yahuah.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 11
"And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon saying to them, 'Speak to the children of Yisra'el saying, 'These are the living creatures you do not eat among all the beasts that are on the earth: The very first of the food instructions:
#72 v. 3 "Whatever has a split hoof completely divided, chewing the cud, among the beasts, that you DO NOT eat. (4) Only, these you do not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have a split hoof:
a. "The camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof--it is unclean to you.
b. "The rabbit, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof--it is unclean to you.
c. "The hair, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof--it is unclean to you.
d. "And the pig, though it has a split hoof, completely divided, yet it does not chew the cud--it is unclean to you. ~Yah further explains...
I. "Their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you do not touch. They are unclean to you."
~What does it mean to "chew the cud"?
According to Collins Dictionary: Animals such as, cows and sheep "chew the cud" it means they chew their food longer and slower in their mouth before swallowing it.
~The way animals were design by Yahuah was done so with purpose and ultimately what they eat and how their food is then processed makes some better suited for us as food. Swine was created as a sort of garbage disposal, and they can never fully get rid of the toxins they consume. This is why Yahuah created them with a drainage by their feet that expels infection and puss. Arguing over whether or not they can be eaten is useless because they were never meant to be eaten at all. Unclean animals were NEVER and still ARE NOT FOOD
I used to love pork until Yahuah gave me eyes to see and once He did-even the smell of pork disgusts me, thanks to the Ruach. I consider it to be a gift that was given the moment I chose obedience.
#73 v. 9 "These you DO eat of all that are in the water: Anyone that has fins and scales.
a. "But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, all that move in the waters or any living being which is in the water, they are an ABOMINATION to you--
I. "Of their flesh you DO NOT eat
II. "and their carcasses you abominate.
#74 v. 13 "And these you do abominate among the birds, they ARE NOT eaten, they are an ABOMINATION,
a. "The eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture, and the hawk, and the falcon, after its kind. Every raven after its kind. And the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind. And the little owl, and the fisher owl, and the great owl, and the white owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
#75 v. 20 "All the flying insects that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth. These of them you DO eat:
a. "Any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper of its kind.
b. "But all other flying insects which have four feet are an ABOMINATION to you
I. "and by these you are made unclean, anyone touching the carcass of any of them is unclean until evening, and anyone picking up part of the carcass of any of them has to wash his garments and shall be unclean.
#76 v. 26 "Every beast that has a split hoof not completely divided, or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
a. "Anyone who touches their carcass is unclean.
#77 v. 27 "And whatever goes on its paws, among all creatures that go on all fours, those are unclean to you. Anyone who touches their carcass is unclean until evening, and he who picks up their carcass has to wash his garments and shall be unclean until evening. They are unclean to you.
#78 v. 29 "And these are unclean to you among the creeping creatures that creep on the earth: the mole, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind, and the gecko, and the land crocodile, and the sand reptile, and the sand lizard, and the chameleon,
a. "These are unclean to you among all that creep.
I. "Anyone who touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening.
II. "And whatever any of them in its dead state falls upon, whether it's any wooded object, or garment or skin or sack, any object in which work is done, it is put in water, and it shall be unclean until evening, then it shall be clean.
III. "Any earthen vessel into which any of them falls, whatever is in it becomes unclean, and you break it.
IV. "Any of the food which might be eaten, on which water comes, becomes unclean, and any drink that might be drunk from it becomes unclean.
V. "And on whatever any of their carcass falls becomes unclean, an oven or cooking range--it is broken down. They are unclean and are unclean to you.
VI. "But a fountain or well, a collection of water is clean, but whatever touches their carcass is unclean.
VII. "And when any of their carcass falls on any planting seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
VIII. "But when any water is put on the seed and any part of any such carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
#79. v. 39 "And when any of the beasts which are yours for food dies, he who touches the carcass becomes unclean until evening,
a. "And he who eats of its carcass has to wash his garments and shall be unclean until evening.
b. "And he who picks up its carcass has to wash his garments and shall be unclean until evening.
#80 v. 41 "and every swarming creature the one that swarms on the earth is an ABOMINATION it is NOT eaten.
a. "Whatever crawls on its stomach, and whatever goes on all fours, and whatever has many feet among the swarming creatures, the ones swarming on the earth, these you DO NOT eat. For they are an ABOMINATION.
I. "Do not make yourselves abominable with any swarming creature--the one swarming you do not make yourself unclean with them, lest you be defiled by them.
Verse 44 "For I am Yahuah, your Elohim, and you shall set yourselves apart. And you shall be set-apart, for I am SET-APART. And DO NOT defile yourselves with any swarming creature--the one creeping on the earth. ~Then in the very next verse, Yahuah repeats: (45) "For I am Yahuah who is bringing you up out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. And you shall be Set-Apart, for I am SET-APART. This is the Torah of the beasts and the birds, and every living being that swarms the earth to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living creature that is not eaten."
~The things commonly eaten were never meant to be food. And yet to satisfy the desires of the flesh people cling to Paul where they falsely interpret what he says in regard to "food" (never meaning the animals that weren't meant to be eaten) to defend such blatant disregard to Yahuah's Commands. The flesh will never choose to submit or obey Yah.
So, let's recap:
CLEAN: cattle, sheep, goats, deer, gazelles, antelope, bison, elk, buffalo, lamb, ox turkey, pheasant, quail, chicken (some people believe we are not meant to eat chicken, but they are clean from what I can gather), salmon, trout, cod, flounder, haddock, halibut, herring, mackerel, pike, whitefish, tuna (even though it has few scales, it does still have both "scales & fins"), locust, katydid, cricket, grasshopper-- and I'm sure there's more so do your own research.
UNCLEAN: camels, rabbits, pigs, cat, dog, rat, bear, frog, donkey, hare, hog, horse, lizard, llama, mole, mouse, opossum, racoon, snake, zebra, turtle, squirrel, eagle, falcon, hawk, osprey, bat, crow, egret, flamingo, heron, crane, cuckoo, ostrich, parrot, raven, swordfish, shark, eel, octopus, skate, ALL shellfish, claims, crab, lobster, oyster, and shrimp, ~and again, this list is not complete--do your own research.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 12
#81 "And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh saying, 'Speak to the children of Yisra'el saying, 'When a woman has conceived, and has given birth to a male, then she shall be unclean for seven days, as the days of her monthly separation she is unclean.
a. "And on the eight day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised.
I. "She does not touch whatever is set-apart, and she does not come into the set-apart place until the days of her cleansing are completed.
~We do not have the Set-Apart "Place" as a physical location anymore--we are the set-apart one. The Ruach dwells inside of us.
b. "But if she gives birth to a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her monthly separation, and she remains in the blood of her cleansing for sixty-six days.
~What comes next is the instructions on what is to be brought before the priest for a sin offering.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 13
~This entire chapter goes over all skin impurities in great detail. Yahuah lists symptoms, with full descriptions and then gives instructions as to what needs to be done as well as how to treat the condition of the sin (that's what is the cause more times than not). We no longer have a human High Priest--we have much better. We have Messiah-Yahusha as our High Priest as well as His spotless Lamb offering (of Himself). So, while there's a lot of information given in this chapter--AND I encourage you to read over it, and take note of the instructions Yahuah gives, if for no other reason that you might gain an understanding of what it means to be clean and what a monumental gift we have been given that Yahusha made the way for those in covenant with the Most High. Those who believe and walk in His ways just as he commanded.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 14
"And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying, 'This shall be the Torah of the leper for the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest... ~HalleluYah--He came as Yahusha!! And He alone sets us free and washes us clean!!
WAYYIQRA Chapter 15 ~Once again, Yahuah addresses what makes a person unclean as far as skin and discharge--the things that come in contact with those things/or the person. Verse 31-33 "Thus you shall separate the children of Yisra'el from their uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness when they defile My Dwelling Place, which is in their midst. This is the Torah for one who has discharge, and for him who emits semen and is unclean thereby, and for her who is sick in her monthly separation, and for one who has discharge, either man or woman, and for him who lies with an unclean woman.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 16 ~Yahuah reminds the people of the death of Aharon's sons and tell Mosheh what to say to his brother as the "priest". He says to tell him not to go into the Set-Apart Place inside the veil at all times. "Before the lid of atonement, which is on the ark, lest he die, because I appear in the cloud above the lid of atonement."
~Yahuah further details when and how things need to be done so he could...I suggest you read this chapter for yourself to see all that needed to take place--(before Yahusha).
~When Yahuah instructs Aharon to cast lots for 2 goats- 1 for Yah and 1 for Azazel. Some translations use "scapegoat."
Singular Masculine (la-a-za-zel) = (basic definition) goat used for sacrifice for the sins of the people. But it also means dubious and refers to Ha'Satan (fallen angel-devil).
~This was done to "remove" the sins of the Israelites. The goat for Azazel is not sacrificed, the sin is "placed" on it, and it is sent away from Yahuah, and the community into the wilderness which is associated with desolation and impurity. This was to be done on the holiest day for Yahuah's people= The Day of Atonement. All-in-all, it is a visual ritual that Yahuah set up to make a literal distinction between what is His=HOLY and what is NOT=profane. It shows in His holiness the mercy He offers His children.
Verse 21 "Then Aharon shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and shall confess over it ALL the crookedness of the children of Yisra'el, and all their transgression and all their sins, and shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a fit man. (22) And the goat shall bear on itself all their crookedness, to a land cut-off. Thus, he shall send the goat away into the wilderness.
#82 v. 29 "And this shall be for you a law forever. In the seventh New Moon, on the tenth day of the New Moon, you afflict your beings, "Afflict" (ta'an'nu) means to "humble". Bow-down, become low, and do NO work, the native or the sojourner who sojourns among you. (30) For on that day he makes (now Yahusha) atonement for you, to cleanse you, to clean from all your sins before Yahuah.
a. "It is a Shabat of rest for you, and you shall afflict your beings. A LAW FOREVER!! ~Yahuah repeats "THIS shall be for you a LAW FOREVER." --3 times.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 17 ~Starts off with instructions on what to do if a man from the house of Yisra'el slays an animal outside camp, and doesn't bring it to the Tent of Appointment. It says, (4) "He has shed blood and is cut off from his people." ~We do not have a temple or Tent of Appointment. But ----> verse 7
#83 "and let them no longer slaughter their slaughterings to demons, after whom they whored. This is a law FOREVER for them throughout their generations.
#84 "And any man of the house of Yisra'el, or of the sojourners who sojourn among you, who eats any blood, I shall set My face against that being who eats blood and shall cut him off from among his people.
a. "For the life of flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the slaughter-place to make atonement for your lives, for it is the blood that makes atonement for the life.
I. "Therefore, I said to the children of Yisra'el, 'No being among you eats blood, nor does any sojourner who sojourns among you eat blood."
#85 v. 13 "And any man from the children of Yisra'el or from the sojourners who sojourn among you, who hunts and catches any beast or bird, which is eaten, shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust.
#86 v. 15 "And any being who eats a carcass or what was torn by a beast, be he native or a sojourner. he shall wash his garments and bathe in water and shall be unclean until evening. Then he shall be clean.
a. "And if he does not wash or bathe his body, then he shall bear his crookedness.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 18
"And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying, 'Speak to the children of Yisra'el and say to them, 'I am Yahuah, your Elohim, DO NOT do as they do in the land of Mitsrayim, where you dwelt. And do not as they do in the land of Kena'an, where I am bringing you, and do not walk in their laws. DO MY Right-rulings and guard MY laws, to walk in them, I am Yahuah, your Elohim. And you shall guard My laws and my right-rulings, which a man does and lives by them, I am Yahuah."
#87 "No one is to approach anyone of his own flesh to uncover his nakedness, I am Yahuah.
a. The nakedness of your father or the nakedness of you mother you do not uncover."
b. "The nakedness of your father's wife you do not uncover."
I. "it is your father's nakedness."
c. "The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you do not uncover.
d. "The nakedness of your son's daughter or your daughter's daughter, their nakedness you do not uncover, for theirs is your nakedness.
e. "The nakedness of your father's wife's daughter brought forth by your father, she is your sister, you do not uncover her nakedness.
f. "The nakedness of your father's sister, you do not uncover. She is your father's flesh.
I. "The nakedness of your mother's sister, you do not uncover, she is your mother's flesh.
g. "The nakedness of your father's brother, you do not uncover, you do not approach his wife. She is your aunt.
h. "The nakedness of your daughter-in-law you do not uncover, she is your son's wife, you do not uncover her nakedness.
i. "The nakedness of your brother's wife you do not uncover, it is your brother's nakedness.
j. "The nakedness of a woman and her daughter you do not uncover
I. "Nor do you take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness. They are her relatives--it is wickedness.
k. "And do not take a woman as a rival to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive.
#88 "And do not go to a woman to uncover her nakedness in her monthly separation of uncleanness.
#89 "And do not have intercourse with the wife of your neighbor, to defile yourself with her.
#90 "And do not give any of your offspring to pass through to Molek.
#91 "And DO NOT profane the Name of your Elohim. I AM Yahuah."
#92 "And do not lie with a man as with a woman--It is an ABOMINATION
#93 "And do not have intercourse with any beasts, to defile yourselves with it.
a. "and a woman does not stand before any beast to mate with it, it is a perversion.
"Do NOT defile yourselves with all these, for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am driving out before you."
~All of these things were being done. It was common, albeit sinfully perverse, but still taking place. Look at the world now and think before you judge the people from back then, because these things are all still being done. We live in a perverse world where the wrongs are called "right", and you are shamed if you dare call out sin.
Verse 25 "Thus the land became defiled, therefore I punished it for its crookedness, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
#94 "But you shall guard My laws and My Right-rulings, and NOT do any of these abominations, the native nor the sojourner who sojourns among you. Because the men of the land who were before you have done all these abominations, and this the land became defiled. So let not the land vomit you out for defiling it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. For whoever foes any of these abominations, those beings who do them shall be cut off from among their people. And you shall Guard My Charge, so as not to do any of these abominable laws which were done before you, so as not to defile yourselves by them. I AM Yahuah, your Elohim."
WAYYIQRA Chapter 19
~Yahuah begins by saying again that His people should/must be "Set-apart". Is it new--No, but He makes sure to repeat it again-hoping they would see the significance of it. He already knew we'd end up right where we are and He tried to warn us to save us from ourselves. Praise Him for knowing us better than we know ourselves!
#95 "Each one of you should fear his mother and his father and guard MY Shabats. I am Yahuah, your Elohim. Honor/respect/obey="fear"
#96 ~Repeats again, what has already been established BUT--I will count it again, since its clearly important to Yahuah: "Do not turn to idols, and do not make for yourselves molded mighty ones. I am Yahuah, your Elohim."
~Verses 5-8 talk about slaughtering an offering for Peace.
#97 "And when you reap the harvest of your land, do not completely reap the corners of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. And do not glean your vineyard or gather every grape of your vineyard. Leave them for the poor and the sojourner. I am Yahuah, your Elohim. ~this I am certain goes without measure and translates simply--take care of others. DON'T BE GREEDY
#98 "Do not steal, do not lie, do not deceive one another.
#99 "And do not swear falsely by My Name and so profane the Name of your Elohim. I am Yahauh.
#100 "Do not oppress your neighbor or rob him.
#101 "The wages of him who is hired is not to remain with you all night until morning."
#102 "Do not curse the deaf, or put a stumbling block before the blind, but fear your Elohim. I am Yahuah."
#103 "Do no unrighteousness in right-ruling. Do not be partial to the poor or favor the face of the great but rightly rule your neighbor in righteousness."
#104 "Do not go slandering among your people. Do not stand against the blood of your neighbor. I am Yahuah."
#105 v. 17 "Do not hate your brother in your heart."
#106 "Reprove your neighbor, for certain, and bear no sin because of him."
#107 " Do not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahuah. (19) Guard My laws."
#108 "Do not let your livestock mate with another kind. Do not sow your seed with mixed seed." ~While this law is great and must be kept--I do not have livestock so technically, it doesn't pertain to me, I've numbered it in case it applies to you.
#109 "Do not put a garment woven of two sorts of thread upon you." ~I strongly encourage you to look into this. Yahuah knows what is best for His creation. Cotton, wool, and linen each have healing properties. All things emit energy and affect us by either making us well or draining us and making us ill. When materials are blended, they cancel out the positive benefits. Things such as rayon, polyester, cheap materials made from toxic plastics (which are the more popular and easier to find options) make you sick and lessen your energy field.
Verses 20-22 Speak of men having intercourse with a female servant and what needs to take place after. I am not a man-if you are (and even if you aren't) you should read this and all other right-rulings for yourself. DO NOT take my word for anything. I only hope to lead you to Yahuah's Truth which is in His WORD.
Verses 23-25 is about planting tress when the Israelites come into their land, but (26) is one that is repeated but I am going to number it.
#110 "Do not eat meat with the blood."
#111 "Do not practice divination or magic."
~Once again, I am not a man, but for those who may be, "Do not round the corners of you head nor destroy the corner of your beard."
#112 "Do not make any cutting on your flesh for the dead." ~This is one I had to lay before my Abba Yahuah, and ultimate repent of, along with the next (28):
#113 "Nor put any tattoo marks on you. I am Yahuah." ~It doesn't matter how you feel about this or what you've been taught from the pulpit. Yahuah is clear.
#114 v. 29 "Do not profane your daughter by making her a whore, so that the land does not whore, and the land becomes filled with wickedness.
"Guard My Shabats and reverence My Set-apart Place. I am Yahuah."
~We are now His set-apart place, beloved. He dwells within His children but can only do so when we sweep out the rot, remove the things that He abhors, and we walk in His ways. Yes, Yahusha covers us, and blots out our sin--making us white as snow, as our High Priest and sacrifice. We are still called to OBEY.
#115 v. 31 "Do not turn to mediums, and do not seek after spirits to be defiled by them. I am Yahuah, your Elohim."
~Yahuah, free me and those needing release from any ties to Molek in the Mighty Name of Yahusha Ha' Mashiak. Blot out his name in the mighty Name of the One True Eternal Aluah, You, Yahuah. Name above all names. Amein.
"Rise up before the grey-headed. And you shall favor the face of an old man, and shall fear your Elohim, I am Yahuah."
Verse 33, Yahuah instructs us again, to take care of the sojourners and tells us NOT to oppress them.
#116 "And let the sojourner who sojourns among you in your land be to you as a native among you, and you shall love him as yourself.
a. "For you were sojourners in the land of Mitsrayim. I am Yahuah, your Elohim."
~Yah repeats not to cheat people in measurements and scales, in length and liquid. Be fair don't cheat. He reminds them Who He is, and that He was the one who brought them out of Mitsrayim (Egypt)
Verse 37 repeats: "And you shall guard MY laws and all My Right-rulings and DO THEM. I am Yahuah."
WAYYIQRA Chapter 20
Read for yourselves in your Scriptures.
~Yahuah commands us NOT to have any part in offering/aligning/worshipping "Molek"-and then He instructs that if this happens, the person should be "put to death". We live in a world that has tried to remove the Truth and in doing so, they've made the wrongs so okay that we have millions of people digging their heels in and in their foolish, arrogant pride they dismiss all together what has been commanded in ignorance and stubbornness. Yahuah says it best and calls us, "stiffnecked."
You may be thinking but we aren't giving our children up on altars or sacrificing them, but is that all that constitutes what Yahuah has said? Let's look at "Molek" worship with our eyes hopefully, open.
*Anything done with the purpose of gaining fertility rites. Some believe that while there was a time parents laid their physical children upon the altars, this was not always the case and intentional alignment was the same.
People KILL children and call it a "medical procedure" or a later stage form of birth control. I don't say this in a mocking manner, nor am I trying to downplay the severity in anyway. I had to deal with my own guilt in this.
When people sacrificed their children to this horrific little "g" they did so with the intention of controlling fate, or in hopes to gain favor (worldly) rather than trusting in Yahuah, and living only for Him.
Aligning or turning to anything other than the Most High IS a SIN. It profanes the Set-Apart Name of Yahuah. He says it again in verse 3. It creates apostasy and syncretism were just as it is now (nothing new under the sun) the Israelites tried and then ended up combining worship of Yahuah-His perfect set-apart, instructed design, they tried to merge with pagan practices. This is the entire "Christian" church (as well as all the other man-made religions).
Simply put, Molek worship is anything you do in place of what has been commanded- No matter who taught it to you. Church buildings with pews, steeple, images, stained glass, statues, all the things Yahuah commands us NOT TO DO. False idols= crosses, phones, people, televisions, money--literally ANYTHING that you place before Yahuah is an idol, your own knowledge, whatever it is--is no different. It is taught to you as part of the "it's okay now-it's not the same, JC changed that or "saved" us from that" false doctrine. The doctrine of men. The doctrine of the tares. The doctrine of Molek, and Yahuah says, "And I shall set My face against that man and shall cut him off from the midst of his people, because he has given himself to Molek, so as to defile My Set-apart Place and to profane My Set-apart Name."
Verse 4 "And if the people of the land at all hide their eyes from the man, as he gives any of his offspring to Molek, and they do NOT kill him, then I shall set My face against that man, and against his clan, and shall cut him off--and ALL who go whoring after him, even go whoring after Molek from the midst of their people.
~Next, Yahuah repeats what I have previously numbered as #115 "And the being who turns to mediums, and to spirits, to go whoring after them, I shall set My face against that being and cut him off from the midst of his people." And again, we are commanded, "And you shall set yourselves apart, and you shall BE set-apart, for I am Yahuah, your Elohim. (8) And you shall guard MY laws and DO THEM. I am Yahuah, Who sets you apart."
~Another repeat--so pay attention:
#117 "For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall certainly be put to death, his blood is on him." ~by no means am I looking to dismiss Yah's command, but what we have been taught in regard to this, is NOT what is being instructed. If you read, "The Apocalypse if Abraham" it clearly shows what would be considered "disrespect" by man--but we are instead shown that Abraham's actions are what made Yahuah set him apart. So, I will say that above ALL else--It's ALWAYS Yahuah first. His ways and obeying Him come before everything else.
#118 "And a man who commits adultery with the wife of another man, who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor: the adulterer and the adulteress shall certainly be put to death."
~We know that Rueben did the next one pre-Mosheh, but nevertheless the law itself has already been given so we will go over it again, but I am not giving it a new number and counting it as a new command. Repetition signifies importance.
Verse 12 "And a man who lies with the wife of his father has uncovered the nakedness of his father, both of them shall certainly be put to death, their blood is on them.
Verses 13-21 read from your Scripture. They are reiterations not "new" but drive home the importance of what Yahuah has already given instruction on. Remember, these things were all taking place freely around them. Much like the times we are in.
v. 22 "And you shall guard ALL My laws and all My Right-rulings, and DO THEM, so that the land where I am bringing you to dwell does not vomit you out. (23) And do not walk in the laws of the nation which I am driving out before you, for they do all these, and therefore I loathed them. (24) But I say to you, 'You are going to possess their land, and I Myself give it to you to possess it a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Yahuah, your Elohim, Who has separated you from the peoples.
(25)"And you shall make a distinction between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean birds and clean. And do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by bird, or whatever creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
(26) "And you shall be set-apart to ME, for I, Yahuah am Set-apart, and have separated you from the peoples to be MINE.
#119 v. 27 "And a man or a woman in whom there is a medium, or who are spiritist, shall certainly be put to death, they are to stone them with stones. Their blood is on them.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 21
~Yahuah instructs Mosheh to speak to the priests and tell them--not to defile themselves with the dead. Yahuah makes an exception for relatives i.e. mother, father, daughter, brother, son, "close immediate" family. Verse 3 says, "and for maiden sister who is near to him, who has no husband-for her he is defiled. (4) "For a leader does not defile himself among his people, to profane himself." Then more instructions are given to and for the priests.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 22
~This chapter Yahuah gives more commands and Right-rulings to the priests letting them know how they are to separate themselves from the set-apart offering of the children of Yisra'el. And again, Yahuah tells them not to profane His Set-apart Name in what they set apart to Him. These instructions are for the priesthood-which MUST come from Aharon's line which is from the Lewites (Levi). Verse 3-8 Yahuah goes over commands He has already given but in this, He is directing them to the priesthood.
Verse 9 "And they shall guard My charge, lest they bear sin for it and die thereby, when they profane it. I, Yahuah, set them apart. (10) And no stranger eats the set-apart offering. A settler with the priest, or a hired servant, does not eat the set-apart offering. (11) But when a priest buys a being with his silver, he does eat of it. And one who is born in his house does it his food.
Verses 12-16 are more on who is and who is not to eat the set-apart offerings. V. 17 goes on to instruct the animal which is to be used for an offering for vows or voluntary (Ascending Offering) for the children of Yisra'el. This is the law that Yahusha fulfilled. He is the High Priest, and He is the pure and perfect sacrifice. Yahusha was without defect. He is ALL that is required for atonement with the Father, Yahuah.
Verse 24 "Do not bring to Yahuah what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut, nor do it in your land. (25-30) gives further instruction on the sacrifice. (31) "And you shall guard My Commands and DO THEM. I am Yahuah.
"And do not profane My Set-apart Name, and I shall be set-apart among the children of Yisra'el. I am Yahuah who sets you apart, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. I am Yahuah.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 23 (The Most High Yahuah, gives us His Appointed Times)
"Which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times, are these:
#120 "Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Shabat of rest. A set-apart gathering. You DO NO work. It is a Shabat to Yahuah in all your dwellings.
Let's breakdown and dig into the word "SHABAT"
(Shin-Beit-Tav) = Stopping work.
While it is most commonly translated as "rest" and we are to find rest in Yahuah. This word is best translated as actively ceasing from labor.
Emphasis on the "ACTIVE"
It is a choice and when we don't honor Shabat, we are being disobedient and have chosen the world and ways of it.
In Greek= "Sabbaton"
While it is used mostly in reference to "Shabat"- sabbaton, can also be used to refer to the week itself. In translations of NT (The Second Writings), this happens to be the case and one must look at the context to determine whether it is "week" or "day and many times the word "sabbatismos" is used which means "Shabat rest".
What can and cannot take place on this day is still a cause for debate mostly due to the "Jews" (false, illegitimate people claiming to be Yah's chosen, but instead are of the synagogue of Satan), and their manmade traditions they claim to be "laws".
What we know to be true as per the Torah, is that Shabat is NOT to be burdensome. It is a beautiful time that is set-apart where we are called to lean into our Creator so He can rejuvenate, restore, refresh, and refine us. He gives us REST.
"These are the Appointed Times of Yahuah, Set-apart gatherings which you are to proclaim at their appointed times.
a. "In the first New Moon, on the 14th day of the New Moon, between the evenings (sunset to sunset) is the "Pesah" to Yahuah and on the 15th day of this New Moon is the Festival of Matzot to Yahuah. Seven days you eat unleavened bread.
I. On the first day you have a set-apart gathering. You do NO servile work.
"Servile" - Comes from the root word "avad" (pronounced- Uh-Vahd). It refers to the work or service performed by a servant or a slave. This isn't about status though because the Shabat is the great equalizer. NO ONE is to work--It is a day SET-APART to Yahuah.
"And you shall bring an offering made by fire to Yahuah for seven days. On the 7th day is a Set-apart gathering. You DO NO servile work.
Verse 10 ~Yahuah tells Mosheh to "Bring an "omer" of the first fruits to the priest. He instructs in v. 11: "And he (the priest) shall wave the omer before Yahuah, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Shabat the priest waves it. (12) "And on that day when you wave the omer, you shall prepare a male lamb, a year old, a perfect one, as an ascending offering to Yahuah.
~Remember, Yahusha is the High Priest now. We need not search for a "priest" to make us "acceptable," His impalement and His conquering of death already covers us.
(13) "And its grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahuah. A sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: One-fourth (1/4) of a hin of wine.
"Flour" = 2/10 of an ephah of flour (1/5) would equal approximately 5 to 7 pounds--based off the fact that an ephah is roughly 25 pounds (11.3 kg) and an omer (1/10 of an ephah) is between 3.4 & 3.9 pounds.
"Wine" = a "hin" is approximately 5.7 liters or 1.5 gallons.
So, 1/4 (a quarter) would be 1.5 gallons/4=0.375 gallons since a US gallon is just about 1.425 liters which altogether come to 1.9 or 2 bottles of wine.
Verse 14 "And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to Yahuah, your Elohim- a law FOREVER throughout your generations in all your dwellings. (15) And from the morrow after the 7th Shabat you count 50 days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to Yahuah (This is Shavuot)
"Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread (Challah) of 2/10 (1/5) of an ephah of fine flour they are baked with leaven, First Fruits to Yahuah.
(18) "And besides the bread, you shall bring 7 lambs, a year old, perfect ones, and 1 young bull, and 2 rams. They are an Ascending Offering to Yahuah with their grain offering, and their drink offering, and offering made by fire for a sweet fragrance to Yahuah. (19) And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs, a year old, as a slaughter of Peace Offerings ~What is listed next is the details of what the priests are required to do. (21) "And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering for yourselves, you do no servile work on it. A LAW FOREVER in all of your dwellings--throughout all your generations. (22) ~Yahuah repeats not to reap the corners of your land/field/crop--it is set-apart for the poor and the sojourner. (24) "Speak to the children of Yisra'el saying, 'In the 7th New Moon, on the first day of the New Moon, you have a rest, a remembrance of Teru'ah--a set-apart gathering.
"You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to Yahuah. (26 & 27) On the 10th of this 7th New Moon is Yom ha'Kippurim. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings and shall bring an offering made by fire to Yahuah. (28 & 29) And you do no work on that same day for it us Yom ha' Kippurim, to make atonement for you before Yahuah your Elohim. (30 & 31) And any being who does any work on that day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people. You DO NO work- a law forever throughout all your generations in all your dwellings. (32 & 33) "It is a Shabat of rest to you, and you shall afflict your being. On the nineth of the New Moon at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Shabat."
Verse 34 "On the 15th day of this 7th New Moon is the festival of Sukkot for seven days to Yahuah.
a. On the 1st day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.
b. For 7 days you being an offering made by fire to Yahuah
c. On the 8th day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to Yahuah.
I. It is a closing festival, you do no work.
Verse 37 "These are the appointed times of Yahuah which you proclaim, as set-apart gathering, to bring an offering made by fire to Yahuah, an ascending offering and a grain offering, and a slaughtering and drink offerings, as commanded for every day.
"Besides the Shabats of Yahuah, and besides your gifts, and besides all of your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings which you gave to Yahuah. (39) On the 15th day of the 7th New Moon, when you gather in the fruit of the land, celebrate the Festival of Yahuah for seven days."
a. "on the 1st is a rest
b. "And on the 8th day is a rest.
"And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of good trees, branches of palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and shall rejoice before Yahuah your Elohim for seven days.
a. "And you shall celebrate it as a festival to Yahuah for seven days in the year--A law forever in your generations."
b. "Celebrate it in the 7th New Moon"
c. "Dwell in shelter for seven days. All who are native born in Yisra'el dwell in shelters
I. "So that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra'el dwell in the shelters when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am Yahuah your Elohim.
Verse 44. "Thus did Mosheh speak of the appointed tomes of Yahuah to the children of Yisra'el.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 24
"And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh saying, 'Command the children of Yisra'el that they bring to you clear oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.
~ Verse 3 gives instructions to Aharon even saying it's a law forever that outside the veil, in the Tent of Appointment, Aharon is to arrange the lamp from evening until morning--The priesthood is responsible for keeping the lamps burning. (v. 4-9) instructs Aharon and the priests as to what to do with the lamps, as well as the fine flour cakes. We can and should read it, but there are NO priests apart from Yahusha. We are called to keep our lamps burning- filled with oil and trimmed. This is the Word. OIL = WORD of Yahuah. Be prepared!
Verse 10 "And the son of an Yira'eli woman whose father was a Mitsrite man went out among the children of Yisra'el. And the Yisra'eli woman's son and a man of Yisra'el strove in the ramp. (Meaning: a fight broke out between them.) V. 11 "And the Yisra'eli woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed.
"Blashphemed" = The Hebrew word is (way-yiq-qob)
conjunctive waw - verb- Qal
consecutive imperfect- third person-- masculine singular.
Strong's Hebrew #5344 = 1) pierce, perforate, bore, appoint. 2) (Qal) = to curse, blaspheme.
Now let's look at "the Name" (has-sem)
Strong's Hebrew #8034 = This is the Name of Elohim, The glory of Yahuah
And "cursed" (way-qul-lel) is a third person masculine singular
Strong's Hebrew #7043 = 1) to be slight, be swift, be of little account. 2) to curse, to be cursed. 3) to treat with contempt, bring dishonor
"So, they brought him to Mosheh. Now his mother's name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. And they put him under guard, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of Yahuah. (13) And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh saying, 'Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and all those who heard, and all the congregation shall stone him. And speak to the children of Yisra'el saying, 'Anyone who curses his Elohim shall bear his sin. And he who blasphemes the Name of Yahuah shall certainly be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him, the sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, he is put to death.'"
~Remember, this had already been given as a Right-ruling, but once again it was made crystal clear so, let's number it as #121.
#122 v.17 "And a man who strikes the being of any man shall certainly be put to death.
#123 v. 18 "And he who strikes a beast repays it. Body for body."
#124 v. 19 "And when a man inflicts a blemish upon his neighbor, as he has done so it is done to him.
a. Fracture for fracture
b. Eye for eye
c. Tooth for tooth
I. As he inflicts a blemish upon him, so it is done to him.
#125 "And he who strikes a man to death is put to death"
#126 "You are to have one Right-ruling for the sojourner and for the native, for I am Yahuah your Elohim
~there is ONE set of Right-rulings--we don't get to make our own
Yahuah knew what He was doing. He is PERFECT. He is JUST
He doesn't need us to help Him out. He calls us to follow what He has already told us and don't do the things He tells us not to do.
Verse 23 shows that the people did what Yahuah commanded. They were obedient.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 25
~Yahuah tell Mosheh to tell the people when they come into the land He is giving them, that they are to observe the Shabats. He reminds them that they are to work the land for six years and on the seventh it is to rest. It is a Shabat to Yahuah.
Verse 5 "Do not reap what grows of its own of your harvest, and do not gather the grapes of your unpruned vine, for it is a year of rest for the land. (6) And the Shabat of the land shall be to you for food, for you and your servant, and for your female servant, and your hired servant, and for the settler who sojourns with you. (7) And for your livestock and the beasts that are in your land. All its crops are for food.
#127 "And you shall count seven Shabats of years for yourself. Seven times seven years and the time of the seventh Shabats of years shall be to you 49 years.
a. "You shall then sound a shofar sound on the 10th day of the 7th New Moon, on Yom ha' Kippurim cause a shofar to sound through all your land.
b. "And you shall set the 50th year apart and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It is a Yobel for you. And each of you return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.
"The 50th year is a Yobel to you."
a. "Do not sow, nor reap what grows of its own, nor gather from its unpruned vine.
I. "It is a Yobel, it is Set-apart to you. Eat from the field its crops."
b. "In the year of the Yobel, let each one of you return to his possession."
"And when you sell whatever to your neighbor or buy from the hand of your neighbor, do not exploit one another.
a. "According to the number of years after the Yobel you buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of the crops he sells to you.
I. "According to the greater number of years you increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you diminish its price. Because he sells to you according to the number of years of the crop.
#128 "And do not oppress one another, but you shall fear your Elohim. For I am Yahuah your Elohim.
#129 ~This is not the first time Yahuah says this, but I am counting it again because we have been taught to dismiss it altogether. The repetition shows importance.
"And you shall DO My laws and guard My Right-rulings and shall do them. And you shall dwell in the land safely, and the land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat to satisfaction, and shall dwell there in safety
~Many people try to claim it's not relevant because we don't live in Yah's land that He was referring to. I am going to say--what we've been taught is a LIE. That place in the Middle East that they want you to focus on, IS NOT the land Yahuah brought His people to. However, that topic will have to be left for another day--Yah willing. Actually, Yah instructed because He has already shown me this and I don't feel led to go over it, unless, He says otherwise.
Verse 20-26 "And since you might say, 'What do we eat in the seventh year, since we do not sow nor gather in our crops? Therefore, I have commanded My blessings on you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth the crop for three years. And you shall sow in the eighth year and eat of the old crop until the ninth year. Eat the old until the crop comes in. And the land is not to be sold beyond reclaim, for the land is Mine, for you are sojourners and settlers with Me. And provide a redemption for the land for your possessions. When your brother becomes poor and has sold some of his possessions, and his redeemer, a close relative come to redeem it, then he shall redeem what his brother has sold. And when the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it,
a. "Then let him count the years since its sale and return the remainder to the man to who he sold it, that he shall return to his possession.
b. "And if his hand has not found enough to give back to him, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of the Yobel. And it shall be released in the Yobel, and he shall return to his possession.
c. "And when a man sells a house in a walled city, then his right of redemption shall be at the end of the year after it is sold.
I. "His right of redemption lasts a year
d. "But if it is not redeemed within a complete year, then the house in the walled city shall be established beyond reclaim to the buyer of it. Throughout his generations. It is not released in the Yobel.
e. "The houses of villages, however, which have no wall around them are reckoned as the field of the country. A right of redemption belongs to it, and they are released in the Yobel."
~Verses 32-34 assures that the Lewites have a right of redemption forever, and the field of open land is not to be sold. It's their everlasting possession.
#130 "And when your brother becomes poor, and his hand has failed with you, then you shall strengthen him, and he shall live with you like a sojourner or a settler.
a. "Take no interest from him, or a profit, but you shall fear your Elohim, and your brother shall live with you.
b. "Do not lend him your silver on interest and do not lend him your food for profit.
Verse 38 "I am Yahuah your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to give you the land of Kena'an, to be you Elohim.
Verse 39 (Repeats again) "And when your brother who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, DO NOT make him serve as a slave.
I. "But as a hired servant, as a settler he is with you, and serves you until the year of the Yobel.
II. "And then he shall leave you, he and his children with him, and shall return to his own clan, even return to the possession of his fathers.
Verse 42-43 "For they are MY servants, whom I brought out of the land of Mitsrayim, they are NOT sold as slaves. Do not rule over him with harshness, but you shall fear your Elohim.
~Verse 44 "And your male and female slaves" Yahuah says where you are to buy them from (the nations around you), from the strangers among you, but NEVER of your own people. (47-53) gives proper rulings on what to do when a wealthy sojourner buys a "brother" who became poor and sold himself. His family can redeem him. The price is set based on the number of years in the Yobel. (54) says; if he is not released (redeemed) in these years--then he is released in the year of the Yobel. He and his children with him. (55) Explains it all:
"Because the children of Yisra'el are servants to ME, they are My servants whom I brought out of Mitsrayim. I am Yahuah your Elohim."
WAYYIQRA Chapter 26
~Right from the start we are told once again:
"DO NOT MAKE IDOLS FOR YOURSELVES, and do not set up a carved image or a pillar for yourselves, and do not place a stone image in your land, to bow down to it. For I am Yahuah your Elohim."
~ NOTE -- This IS the 2nd Commandment and it is listed more than once.
Verse 2 "Guard My Shabats and reverence MY commands, and you shall DO THEM,
then I shall give you rain in its season, and the land shall yield its crops, and the tress of the field yield their fruit. And your threshing shall last till the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest shall last until the time of sowing. ~Read this whole thing for yourself. It's a promise of IF = THEN which is Yahuah's covenant and v. 11 literally declares it. If you do what Yahuah command, He promises, "And I shall set My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My being shall NOT reject you. (12) and I shall walk in your midst, and shall be your Elohim, and you shall be MY people. (13) I am Yahuah your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from being their slaves. And I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright.
Verse 14 "BUT if you DO NOT obey Me, and do not do ALL these commands, and if you reject My laws, or if your being loathes My Right-rulings, so that you DO NOT DO ALL of My Commands, but break My Covenant, (16) I also do this to you: And I shall appoint sudden alarm over you, wasting disease and inflammation-destroying the eyes, and consuming the life. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
~Read v17-22 from Scripture but, (23) "And if you are not instructed by ME by these, but walk contrary to ME, then I also shall walk contrary to you. And I Myself shall strike you seven times for your sin.
~Read v. 25-40
Yahuah continues to detail what He will do to those who do not follow His ways, keep His Commands, and set-apart His Shabats and Feasts. V. 29 says you will eat the flesh of your children--THIS IS HAPPENING all around the world. That's for another day though--BUT, YES--even you...If you have eaten at any fast-food chain. WAKE UP!!
Yahuah says, "And My being shall LOATHE you."
But let us not lose hope. No, let us rejoice and offer our praise to Yahuah for He promises, "If their uncircumcised heart is then humbled, and they accept the punishment of the crookedness, THEN I shall remember MY Covenant with Ya'aqob, and also My Covenant with Yitshaq, and also MY Covenant with Abraham, and remember the land---READ the rest in Scripture.
WAYYIQRA Chapter 27
I'm going to count the next part, but I am not sure how to keep it--literally since we don't have access to the Set-apart Place. It is our body now, but,
#131 "When a man separates a vow by your evaluation of lives unto Yahuah"
~What does it mean?
It's instructions on how to deal with a vow made unto Yahuah to consecrate a person or animal. Instead of forfeiting the being that is consecrated a person is given a chance to offer a monetary value. This money is then used for service of the temple by priests.
The singular vow: This is a vow that is between Yahuah and the person. It's meant to show that a vow made to Yahuah is SERIOUS and MUST be fulfilled or redeemed.
The value is then broken down by age, sex, and then if they are too poor to pay, the priest can set the value. Yahuah then goes over if or what to do if it's an animal that is brought as an offering to Him.
#132 v.9-12 "All such given to Yahuah is Set-apart. He is not to replace it or exchange it, good for spoilt or spoilt for good. And if he at all exchanges beast for beast, then both it, and the one exchanged for it is Set-apart. And if it is any unclean beast of which they do not bring an offering to Yhauah, then he shall present the beast before the priest, whether it is good or spoilt. According to your evaluations, O' Priest, so it shall be.
Verses 13-24 instructs on setting apart homes, fields--both before and after the Yobel.
Verse 25 "And all your evaluations are to be according to the sheqel of the Set-apart Place, twenty gerahs (Je-Ra) to the sheqel.
~The gerah is/was the smallest unit of weight--It's a 20th (1/20) of a sheqel which equals roughly 0.57 grams of ounces.
This measurement is also mentioned in Exodus 30:13, Numbers 3:47 & 18:16--in relation to value of offerings.
Verse 26 "However, a first born of the beasts, which is 1st first born to Yahuah, no man sets it apart--whether bull or sheep. It belongs to Yahuah. (27) read yourself in Scripture.
~There you have it.
Definitely NOT 613 -even if I would have number all the things that I broke down.
Man says, then sets up a system of defiance where most people are too lazy to research things out for themselves. I was included in this. I read the law and not once did I count them out, I just regurgitated the stuff that was falsely taught to me by the wolves in sheep's clothing.
This is done with purpose--Why would you bow down to a g-d that is imperfect?
By claiming the Most High made a mistake (gave right-rulings to Mosheh that were flawed and no longer are relevant) --That's exactly what you are saying.
Yahuah never made a mistake
His commands were never too hard--I uttered this same blasphemous, regurgitated garbage, too, only it doesn't hold up when Yah walks you through it, having you go over each and every word--because HIS LAWS are FOREVER
Forever means forever - Yahusha didn't come to abolish the law-He told you that Himself.
It was our hearts--you know the very things He tells us are deceitful (that we must lead), that were the problem.
The people would sin, and then sacrifice and just like it is today, their hearts were hardened and they no longer felt the consequences or regret of breaking Yahuah's law.
His ways are never burdensome; they are PERFECT and FOREVER!!
