There are 46 Aleph-Tavs in this week's Torah portion
CHAPTER 26
Leviticus 26:3-46
Lev 26:3 If you walk in My statutes, and you keep ta-My commandments, and you do them; 4 And I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield her produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And shall wax full to you the threshing of ta-the vintage, and the vintage shall wax full ta-the seeding time: and ye shall eat your bread to satisfaction, and you will dwell securely in your land. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and not from terror: and I will rid evil beasts from the land, and a sword, she shall not go over your land. 7 And ye shall chase ta-your enemies, and they shall fall to your faces to the sword. 8 And they shall pursue from you five of a hundred, and a hundred from you shall pursue ten thousand: and shall fall your enemies to your faces to the sword. 9 For I will face to you, and I will make you fruitful, and I will multiply you, and I will establish ta-My covenant with you. 10 And you shall eat old store, and old from the face of the new. 11 And I will set my tabernacle in your midst: and my soul, she shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk in your midst, and I will be to you for Elohim, and you, you shall be to me for a people. 13 I am hwhy your Elohim, whom I brought you from the land of Egypt, from being slaves to them; and I will break the bars of your yoke, and I will cause you to walk erect.
14 And if you will not hearken to Me, and you will not do ta all these commandments; 15 And if you despise My statutes, and if she, your soul, abhors ta-My judgments, to fail doing ta-all My commandments, to your breaking ta-My covenant: 16 also I, I will do this to you; And I will appoint upon you terror, ta-consumption, and ta-the fever, with consuming the eyes, and with sorrowing the soul: and you shall seed for vanity your seed, and your enemies shall eat him. 17 And I will set my face against you, and you shall be smitten to the face of your enemies: and they, your haters, shall tread on you; and you shall flee and none pursues you.
18 And if unto these you will not hearken to Me, and I will add to chastise you seven times upon your sins. 19 And I will break ta-the pride of your might; and I will put ta-your heavens as the iron, and ta-your earth as the copper: 20 And and shall be spent your strength for vanity: and shall not give your land ta-her produce, and the trees of the land shall not give their fruits.
21 And if you walk contrary with Me, and you are not willing to hearken to Me; And I will add upon you a striking seven times according to your sins. 22 I will send against you ta-beasts of the field, and make childless you, and I will cut off ta-your animals, and make few of you; and devastate your roadways.
23 And if by these you are not chastised to Me, and you will walk contrary with Me; 24 And I will walk, also I, contrary to you, and I will strike you, also I, seven times upon your sins. 25 And I will bring upon you a sword, avenging The Vengeance Covenant: and you will be gathered to your cities, and I will send pestilence in your midst; and you will be given in the hand of the enemy.
26 In My breaking of The Staff of Bread, and ten women shall bake for your bread in one fire pot, and they shall return your bread by weight: and you shall eat, and you shall not be satisfied.
27 And if by this you will not hearken to Me, and you will walk contrary with Me; 28 And I will walk with you in Fury Contrary; and I will chastise you, also I, seven times upon your sins. 29 And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat. 30 And I will destroy ta-your high places, and I will cut down your sun pillars, and I will put ta-your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. 31 And I will give ta-your cities for desolation, and I will make waste ta-your sanctuaries, and I will not smell your soothing fragrances. 32 And I will make waste, I, ta-the land: and shall be astonished upon her your enemies, the ones dwelling in her. 33 And you I will scatter among the nations, and I will draw out a sword after you: and she, your land, shall be a waste, and your cities shall be a desolation. 34 Then she, the land, shall enjoy ta-her Shabbaths, all the days of her wasting, and you in the land of your enemies; then she, the land, shall rest, and enjoy ta-her Shabbaths. 35 All the days of the wasting, she shall rest; ta which was not rested in your Shabbaths, in your dwelling upon her.
36 And the ones remaining among you I will bring Faintness in their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and chase them a sound of a shaken leaf; and they shall flee, as one retreating a sword; and they shall fall and none pursues. 37 And they shall stumble, a man on his brother, as with the face of a sword, and a pursuer is not: and you shall not have for you power to stand to the face of your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the nations, and shall consume you the land of your enemies. 39 And the one remaining among you shall pine away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them shall they pine away.
40 And they shall confess ta-their iniquity, and ta-the iniquity of their fathers, among their transgressions which they transgressed against me, and also that they have walked contrary with me; 41 Also I, I will walk contrary with them, and I will bring them into the land of their enemies; if then shall humble their uncircumcised hearts, and then shall they accept ta-their iniquity: 42 And I will remember ta-My covenant with Jacob, and also ta-My covenant with Isaac, and also ta-My covenant with Abraham I will remember; and the land I will remember. 43 And the land shall be forsaken from them, and she shall enjoy ta-her Shabbaths, among the waste from them: and they shall accept ta-their iniquity: because, and in because, among My judgments they despised, and ta-My statutes their souls abhorred. 44 And yet also this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, and I will not abhor them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them: for I am hwhy their Elohim. 45 And I will remember for them The Covenant of the Beginnings, whom I brought them of the land of Egypt to the eyes of the nations, to be for them for Elohim: I am hwhy. 46 These are the statutes and the judgments and the torahs, which has given hwhy between Him and between the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Starting with verses fourteen through seventeen
14 And if you will not hearken to Me, and you will not do ta all these commandments; 15 And if you despise My statutes, and if she, your soul, abhors ta-My judgments, to fail doing ta-all My commandments, to your breaking ta-My covenant: 16 also I, I will do this to you; And I will appoint upon you terror, ta-consumption, and ta-the fever, with consuming the eyes, and with sorrowing the soul: and you shall seed for vanity your seed, and your enemies shall eat him. 17 And I will set my face against you, and you shall be smitten to the face of your enemies: and they, your haters, shall tread on you; and you shall flee and none pursues you.
There are spiritual applications to these punishments
TERROR: An act of fear
Regarding terror, in the book of Jeremiah, Jeremiah made note of the southern house of Judah when not adhering to the words of hwhy., and prophesied against Pashur for his acts against Jeremiah
Jeremiah 20:1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of hwhy, heard that Jeremiah prophesied ta-these things. 2 Then Pashur smote ta-Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of hwhy. 3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth ta-Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, hwhy hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib. 4 For thus saith hwhy, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give ta-all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword. 5 Moreover I will deliver ta-all the strength of this city, and ta-all the labours thereof, and ta-all the precious things thereof, and ta-all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. 6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
In the Brith Khadashah terror will come unto all people at the Judgment seat of Messiah for what they have done on the earth
2 Corinthians 5:9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Messiah; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of hwhy, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto hwhy; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
Without fearing hwhy which is to love hwhy, one would fear man. This is what the scriptures say about fearing hwhy
Psalms 111:10a The fear of hwhy is the beginning of wisdom
Proverbs 1:7a The fear of hwhy is the beginning of knowledge
Proverbs 8:13a The fear of hwhy is to hate evil
And in the Brith Khadashah it says regarding fear
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in Love; but Perfect Love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Terror is a result of fear, and the Israelites did not fear hwhy and they walk contrary to Him.
It also effects their strength as revealed from the prophet Ezekiel
Ezekiel 7:17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
Overall, if one does not fear hwhy, one will be in terror with men.
EMACIATION (Becoming Thin/Starvation/Lack of Nutrition): Spiritual lack of nutrition from The Word/Not doing The Will of hwhy.
A great example of the will of hwhy as nourishment is in the Gospels
John 4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have food to eat that ye know not of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 34 Yeshua saith unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
We, as believers, also get our spiritual nourishment from hwhy by doing His will.
hwhy's word is spiritual food for us. An example of this is from the Prophet Jeremiah
Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, hwhy Elohim of hosts.
In the book of Proverbs, a good word provides health
Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
THE FEVER, WITH CONSUMING THE EYES- A fever that cause blindness: evil building up in one causing spiritual blindness.
This is an article from the Huffington Post titled "Mary Ingalls' Blindness: Scarlett Fever Wasn't The Cause Of 'Little House' Sister's Vision Loss", it says
"Any fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved "Little House" books knows how the author's sister Mary went blind: scarlet fever. But turns out that probably wasn't the cause, medical experts say, upending one of the more dramatic elements in the classic stories.
An analysis of historical documents, biographical records and other material suggests another disease that causes swelling in the brain and upper spinal cord was the most likely culprit. It was known as "brain fever" in the late 1800s, the setting for the mostly true stories about Wilder's pioneer family".
Either way, it shows that a fever caused her blindness.
All the sins of the world would cause spiritual blindness
Yeshua confronted the Pharisees regarding their spiritual blindness, because of their evils and their sins, after He healed a blind man
John 9:35 Yeshua heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of Elohim? 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Yeshua said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 39 And Yeshua said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, Are we blind also? 41 Yeshua said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
The fever of their sins inflamed them and caused them to be blind, by denying their sins by saying "We see".
THE FEVER, WITH SORROW OF THE SOUL: Inflaming fleshly desires of the world that bring no satisfaction for the soul
This would include these things that the Apostle John wrote
1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
The Apostle Paul in his letter to the congregation at Corinth, sent Timothy to help them fix the problems occurring at the congregation. Paul mentions later in the book his intention, through Timothy to go through godly sorrow, in many ways, to counteract their pride based on following men instead of following Yeshua from Paul's first book to them
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. 4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation. 5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. 6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
From the first book to the Corinthians, they were priding themselves in following men instead of Yeshua, which in many cases would give their souls no satisfaction in the end. So Paul makes them go through godly sorrow to make them repent of their pride and humble themselves to Yeshua to counteract their wrongdoing and focus on Yeshua instead of men.
WORKING SEED FOR VANITY AND THE ENEMIES EAT THEM: Laboring your gifts and callings for worldly purposes and competitors take credit for your work/Foreigners receiving the work that the country the job was founded should have received.
How many times have people taken credit for someone else's work? This is the definition of "plagiarism".
In this Torah portion's case
There is a rare exception to the case, and unfortunately it is within the realm of the brethren. Anyone heard about the Tetrad Blood Moons phenomenon? Two people put out the information. One was John Hagee of Cornerstone Ministries, the other is Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries. According to a World Net Daily artilce on March 23, 2015 titled "John Hagee's Ministry Responds To 'Four Blood Moons' Allegations, John Hagee claimed to be the "discoverer" of the dates and the blood moons account in connection to the Jewish calendars of Passover and Sukkoth. World Net Daily stated that it was not Hagee who discovered them, but Mark Biltz who discovered them in 2008, five years before Hagee put out his book "Four Blood Moons" in 2013, and this would be an act of plagiarism.
You can find the article at the World Net Daily web page
http://www.charismanews.com/us/48861-john-hagee-responds-to-allegations-he-stole-four-blood-moons-revelation
Another perspective of this are the major companies, who have job availability potential for the people in the United States, but decide to take their businesses overseas to foreign countries and offering jobs at cheaper wages to foreigners.
SMITTEN TO THE FACE OF ENEMIES: self humiliation and self destruction without the hand of the unrighteous intervening
This would not be the result of the world doing this against anyone, but hwhy would do it personally against those who reject them. One example was a former pastor who walked with Elohim, then later in life turned away from the faith and became a pervert comedian. Since then, he did pervert things in his life, but one day, he had a heart attack out of nowhere and died.
HATERS SHALL TREAD ON YOU: demonic forces overcoming believers
Continuing with verses eighteen through twenty
18 And if unto these you will not hearken to Me, and I will add to chastise you seven times upon your sins. 19 And I will break ta-the pride of your might; and I will put ta-your heavens as iron, and ta-your earth as copper: 20 And and shall be spent your strength for vanity: and shall not give your land ta-her produce, and the trees of the land shall not give their fruits.
The number seven represents completion. In hwhy's case, this is His completion against the Israelites for not repenting of their wrongdoing. It is almost as if hwhy was saying to them I will take it to the next seven level and make matters worse for you.
In other words, this is next level to the Israelites, when in the previous level of chastisements they were able to work and produce the food in vain, because it was given to the enemy. Now they would labor in vain and would not produce anything at all. When it says that the heavens would be as iron and the earth would be as copper, because it would not provide the means to benefit the crops and the trees to produce the food.
This would also be spritually for believers as not producing any spiritual fruits, or would stop growing in their walk with hwhy.
Verses twenty-one and twenty two
21 And if you walk contrary with Me, and you are not willing to hearken to Me; And I will add upon you a striking seven times according to your sins. 22 I will send against you ta-beasts of the field, and make childless you, and I will cut off ta-your animals, and make few of you; and devastate your roadways.
BEASTS OF THE FIELD: Beastly nature of mankind in the world/Muslims
The next level of seven times of hwhy's completion is to bring the wild beasts, like bears and cougars, etc into the land.
An example of wild beasts from the result of the nation's disobedience is in 1st Kings where the man of The Elohim from Judah, who confronted King Jeroboam, disobeyed hwhy's word and eats with a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel when he was not to do that. This is a result of the man's disobedience
1 Kings 13:20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of hwhy came unto the prophet that brought him back: 21 And he cried unto the man of The Elohim that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith hwhy, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of hwhy, and hast not kept the commandment which hwhy thy Elohim commanded thee, 22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which hwhy did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. 24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
This shows that the wild animals were already dwelling in the northern kingdom of Israel because of King Jeroboam's disobedience against hwhy. But because the man of the Elohim disobeyed hwhy's word, he took on the level of judgment the northern kingdom was at, with the wild beasts, and hwhy made the lion kill him.
Another example in our own backyards. In the United States, there are more wild animals coming in to the suburbs, rural communities and in the cities, they are slowly popping up everywhere. This is also the result of the judgment of this nation for disobeying the will of hwhy.
Also, there are another group of animals coming to this nation
Genesis 25:27 ...and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field;
In other words, Esau is a wild man in the field, and the descendants of Esau today are the Islamic peoples, who are symbolically "wild beasts". They are already occupying the western European nations, and Western Hemisphere, including the United States, and they are growing and populating more in these nations. According to a documentary video played Jim Staley of Passion For Truth Ministries, the fertility rate for each Muslim family is as much as eight children compared to Europe and the United States' fertility rate of less than 2.11 children, the minimum rate to maintain proper population growth.
You can find the information on Jim Staley's teaching "End of The Age: Jacov vs Esau" on the You Tube website. It includes a seven minute video about the Muslim's fertility rate overwhelming Europe and the Northern Hemisphere's fertility rate.
This is the link (Note: The segment of the video begins in the fourteenth minute of the teaching).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjCQOtViesA&index=38&list=PL73D32F016148FC4F
In a spiritual sense, a believer would be brought into an environment where there would be people of beastly nature around the believer's vicinity, to wake up the believer.
LIVESTOCK AND CHILDREN: The fruits of their labor and the people who followed him
In this example, the livestock is the crusade and the children are the followers of them. One of these examples was Jimmy Swaggart's crusade. After his admittance in public, it destroyed his crusade career, and the majority of his followers. It also devestated and effected most of the other crusades, examples are James Robison and Kenneth Copland. The Television industries also backed off from televising most of the crusades except for Billy Graham's. It devastated the crusade movement.
DEVASTATE THE ROADWAYS: Believer's walk with hwhy shut down.
One example is in the book of Job, when hwhy smote him with all kinds of devastations and plagues. This was what Job said regarding his walk with hwhy
Job 19:8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths
If a believer has a struggle with their path with hwhy, He is trying to get the believer's attention that something about the believer's relationship with hwhy is not right, and needs to seek Him and repent.
This is hwhy's way for the Israelites in their walk to repentance written in the book of Jeremiah
Jeremiah 31:21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
hwhy gives us a way to return back to the land by the waymarks of His Word and our relationship with Him through Yeshua our Messiah.
Verses twenty three through twenty five
23 And if by these you are not chastised to Me, and you will walk contrary with Me; 24 And I will walk, also I, contrary to you, and will strike you, also I, seven times upon your sins. 25 And I will bring upon you a sword, avenging The Vengeance Covenant: and you will be gathered to your cities, and I will send pestilence in your midst; and you will be given in the hand of the enemy.
A SWORD AVENGING THE VENGEANCE COVENANT: The enemies getting back against the believers
This is hwhy's counter action against His people. Instead of being the Avenger for His people, He has a Vengeance Covenant against the people.
Look what is happening now in a good portion of the Black community today in the United States. Not including everyone, who are decent people, a portion of the black community are getting back and avenging themselves against the police, who are mostly white- who are mostly the descendant of the lost ten northern tribes of Israel- mainly in the former southern Confederate states, for the years of depression, the enslavement of their ancestors by the plantation owners, whom a portion of them were believers. Though some of the black community are descendants of the white plantation owners, like Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees, they mainly identify themselves as black, because they lack knowledge of their ancestry. Also, the latest influx of illegal aliens from Mexico are coming in droves across the border, and recently have become the majority population in Tucson and Phoenix Arizona. According to Wikipedia's topic "Historical racial and ethnic demographics of the United States", the Mexican population have today become the majority-minority population in the United States.
Another perspective is that the Muslim peoples are currently using swords to decapitate people who are not for the Muslim religion. If we, as nations dedicated to hwhy, do not repent of our sins, iniquities and transgressions, and ask hwhy to avenge us, hwhy is going to allow the Muslims to follow through with these acts against the nations and the United States, and they will not be immune to this.
All of these are also based on the spirit of an unrighteous leader affecting the spirit of the nation. An example of this was King Solomon's son, King Rehoboam, who was an evil king and changed the spirit of the Israelite nation.
1 Kings 14:21 And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which hwhy did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 22 And Judah did evil in the sight of hwhy, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. 23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. 24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which hwhy cast out before the children of Israel.
Though it says nothing about foreigners, it does reveal that the spirit of an unrighteous leader has an effect of the nation.
GATHERED TO THE CITIES: false physical fortification and protection
Because of the Israelites continuous disobedience, the next main thing they did was go to the fortified walls of the cities, thinking they would be protected there, but hwhy will not protect them in the fortified cities. There are a few examples. The infamous example occurred around 70 AD when the Jewish people went into the fortifications in Jerusalem, thinking they would be protected from the Roman soldiers.
Believers who still do not return to the obedience of hwhy think that we could be protected within a four walled home as fortification and protection from the world, but it is like the Israelites, as Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries said in a Torah portion, that they could leave from Egypt, but Egypt still lives in them. It is somewhat relevant to this part of the commentary, because it shows that the Israelites physical bodies are not immune physical fortifications to the issues of the world and their lives.
In the Gospels, Yeshua made note of a unclean spirits in a man
Matthew 12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Don't think those unclean spirits will stay away from the man, they will find reinforcements to attack again and try to regain the man. So does HaSatan against us as believers and the Jewish people who still hold the covenant.
SENDING PESTILENCE IN THE MIDST: fiery darts of the enemy
This is an act of hwhy taking away His shield of protection. This is based on the reading of the Apostle Paul in the book of Ephesians
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Today, in the United States, believers are receiving fiery darts of the enemy. One example is a gay couple wanting a wedding cake at a certain bakery shop, but the owner refused because of his religious beliefs. The gay couple sued the owner and won their case in court. The owner had to compensate the gay couple and pay fees.
GIVEN TO THE HAND OF THE ENEMY: given over to HaSatan
One famous incident that one was given over to HaSatan was Judas
John 13:18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 21 When Yeshua had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 23 Now there was leaning on Yeshua's bosom one of his disciples, whom Yeshua loved. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. 25 He then lying on Yeshua's breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? 26 Yeshua answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Yeshua unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
Judas ultimately rejected Yeshua's ministry to him, but Judas was used so that the scripture would be fulfilled
Another matter where HaSatan entered to a man of hwhy was in the book of Acts
Acts 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Ruakh HaKodesh, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto hwhy. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of hwhy? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon all the congregation, and upon as many as heard these things.
Though the wife was not filled her heart, she submitted to HaSatan in her husband's heart and it was equivalent as HaSatan entered into her heart. They paid the price with their lives.
Another way of HaSatan entering to a person is to be delivered unto HaSatan by someone else who has the right to do so, which in this case was the Apostle Paul in the book of Timothy
1 Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
I pray that none of us have to go through this experience.
Verse twenty six
26 In My breaking of The Staff of Bread, and ten women shall bake for your bread in one fire pot, and they shall return your bread by weight: and you shall eat, and you shall not be satisfied.
BREAKING THE STAFF OF BREAD: breaking His Word with the people
The Staff of Bread is a reference to hwhy's Word. In other words, hwhy will remove His word from within the people. This would be the stage of divorcing Himself from His people as He did in the ten northern tribes
Jeremiah 3:8a And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce;
TEN WOMEN MAKING ONE BREAD: many people getting little results
We can see today how much the price of food and materials are rising. In times past, there used to be one spouse to take care of the monetary means. Today, both spouses are providing the income, but in most cases it still does not meet their monetary needs.
A MAN EATS ITS WEIGHT AND IS NOT SATISFIED: the bread of the the world doesn't satisfy the soul
This is what the prophet Ezekiel said during the end of days
Ezekiel 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of hwhy: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
In this part of the case, they tried to use gold and silver to give them satisfaction in their soul and their bowels as if it was an act of food for them, but it will satisfy them.
In the spiritual sense, the bread is bread of the words of the world. It might give temporary satisfaction, but it is not eternal. They will keep finding things, false religions to find satisfaction for their souls, but it still will not fulfill their souls' needs.
The only person that can satisfy the soul is The Bread of Life, and He is Yeshua the Messiah.
This is a physical example of Yeshua's acts satisfying the souls of men
Mark 8:1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, 2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: 3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. 4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? 5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. 7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. 8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. 9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
Yeshua mutliplied the bread to satisfy the needs of the people that were present with Him and His disciples.
Yeshua, during His forty day trial in the wilderness, was tempted by HaSatan to turn stones into bread
Matthew 4:1 Then was Yeshua led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If thou be the Son of Elohim, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of hwhy.
Yeshua said this to show how important it is to obey and keep The Word.
Verses twenty seven through thirty one
27 And if by this you will not hearken to Me, and you will walk contrary with Me; 28 And I will walk with you in Fury Contrary; and I will chastise you, also I, seven times upon your sins. 29 And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat. 30 And I will destroy ta-your high places, and I will cut down your sun pillars, and I will put ta-your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. 31 And I will give ta-your cities for desolation, and I will make waste ta-your sanctuaries, and I will not smell your soothing fragrances.
WALKING IN FURY CONTRARY: seeing hwhy for the last time.
EATING THE FLESH OF SONS AND DAUGHTERS: Destroying what one has accomplished and destroying the spiritual gifts for the next generation
DESTROYING HIGH PLACES/SUN PILLARS: destroying their accomplishments of the world and destroying their idols in their lives
CARCASSES UPON THE CARCASSES OF THEIR IDOLS: dying to their idols they made in the world.
One good example is the Titanic. The ship the captain said that 'God could not sink', did sink, and the captain that quoted it went down with ship and died with it.
CITIES DESOLATED AND SANCTUARY WASTED: Ministries destroyed
One famous example in the United States was Carl Steven's ministry called "The Bible Speaks". His ministry aquired estates in Lennox, Massachusetts and it became the headquarters for his ministry and a college where people gave their money to move with him to Lennox and live there. Later in the ministry there were money scandals occurring in the ministry, almost all of it from Carl Stevens. There were investigations against the ministry, and later a major donator to the ministry sued them, and it resulted in the ministry to close its doors and move to a smaller branch location in Baltimore, Maryland.
In verse thirty, the Hebrew word for sun pillars is "khaman"- Khet, Mem, Nun Sophit (Nmx). It is from Strong's concordance number 2553 meaning
From H2535; a sun pillar: - idol, image.
from 2535 "khamah" (hmx) meaning
From H2525; heat; by implication the sun: - heat, sun.
from 2525 "kham" (mx) meaning
From H2552; hot: - hot, warm.
from 2552 "khamam" (Mmx) meaning
A primitive root; to be hot (literally or figuratively): - enflame self, get (have) heat, be (wax) hot, (be, wax) warm (self, at).
Verses thirty six through thirty nine
36 And the ones remaining among you I will bring Faintness in their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and chase them a sound of a shaken leaf; and they shall flee, as one retreating a sword; and they shall fall and none pursues. 37 And they shall stumble, a man on his brother, as with the face of a sword, and a pursuer is not: and you shall not have for you power to stand to the face of your enemies. 38 And you shall perish among the nations, and shall consume you the land of your enemies. 39 And the one remaining among you shall pine away in their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them shall they pine away.
Faintness In Their Hearts In The Land Of Their Enemies: having no righteous strength in the world
A Shaken Leaf Shall Chase Them And No One Is Following Them:
No Power To Stand To The Face Of Your Enemies: no spiritual backbone:
Perish Among The Nations/The Land Of The Enemies Consume You: one becoming part of the world and spiritual death
And They Will Stumble, A Man On His Brother, As With The Face Of A Sword: blind leading the blind/The world blinding people
As Yeshua made note of the Pharisees' blindness
Matthew 15:1 Then came to Yeshua scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of hwhy by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of hwhy of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matthew 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?...24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel....26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Also one will go into the world's lifestyles and be spiritual blinded by them and fail to see hwhy's will for their lives.
Pining Away In Their Iniquity In The Land Of One's Enemies: Delving into the world's lifestyles
Verses thirty two through thirty five
32 And I will make waste, I, ta-the land: and shall be astonished upon her your enemies, the ones dwelling in her. 33 And you I will scatter among the nations, and I will draw out a sword after you: and she, your land, shall be a waste, and your cities shall be a desolation. 34 Then she, the land, shall enjoy ta-her Shabbaths, all the days of her wasting, and you in the land of your enemies; then she, the land, shall rest, and enjoy ta-her Shabbaths. 35 All the days of the wasting, she shall rest; ta which was not rested in your Shabbaths, in your dwelling upon her.
This would be fulfilled in the Babylonian invasion of Judah and in Jerusalem as spoken by the Prophet Jeremiah
Jeremiah 25:8 Therefore thus saith hwhy of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, 9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith hwhy, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. 10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. 11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Because they did not allow the land to rest in the seventh year for 490 years, they will be kicked out the land so that the land can have her rest for the seventy year period.
SCATTERED AMONG THE NATIONS: kicked out the kingdom of heaven
Yeshua made note to that in the Gospels
The account that mentions the unfaithful children of the kingdom
Matthew 8:5 And when Yeshua was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7 And Yeshua saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10 When Yeshua heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The parable regarding the improperly dressed man
Matthew 22:1 And Yeshua answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
The parable of the unfaithful servant
Matthew 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The parable of the lazy servant with the one talent
Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
These parables and accounts are symbolic to the unfaithful and unrighteous servants and people who reject the will of hwhy and do not obey His will that they will be cast out of the kingdom of heaven in the symbols of the house or the house of the marriage supper or are already of the kingdom of heaven. It means nobody is immune to being kicked out. The Apostle Paul made notion of this matter in the book of Romans
Romans 11:12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if hwhy spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of hwhy: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for hwhy is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Verses forty through forty five
40 And they shall confess ta-their iniquity, and ta-the iniquity of their fathers, among their transgressions which they transgressed against me, and also that they have walked contrary with me; 41 Also I, I will walk contrary with them, and I will bring them into the land of their enemies; if then shall humble their uncircumcised hearts, and then shall they accept ta-their iniquity: 42 And I will remember ta-My covenant with Jacob, and also ta-My covenant with Isaac, and also ta-My covenant with Abraham I will remember; and the land I will remember. 43 And the land shall be forsaken from them, and she shall enjoy ta-her Shabbaths, among the waste from them: and they shall accept ta-their iniquity: because, and in because, among My judgments they despised, and ta-My statutes their souls abhorred. 44 And yet also this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, and I will not abhor them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them: for I am hwhy their Elohim. 45 And I will remember for them The Covenant of the Beginnings, whom I brought them of the land of Egypt to the eyes of the nations, to be for them for Elohim: I am hwhy.
This is reinforced by what hwhy said to King Solomon in the book of Chronicles
2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries stated that the Apostle John made note of this Tanakh's source in one of his letters
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
King David went through a good part of these judgments during his life
Psalms 38:1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. hwhy, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore. 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. 6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 9 Adonai, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. 10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. 13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. 14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 15 For in thee, hwhy, do I hope: thou wilt hear, Adonai my Elohim. 16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. 17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me. 18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. 19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is. 21 Forsake me not, hwhy: O my Elohim, be not far from me. 22 Make haste to help me, Adonai my salvation.
You can see all the judgments that King David experienced are mentioned in this chapter.
CHAPTER 27
Leviticus 27:1-34
Lev 27:1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, A man: if shall make difficult vow, by your evaluation, the souls shall be to hwhy. 3 And your evaluation shall be of the male from a son of twenty years and unto a son of sixty years, and shall be your evaluation fifty shekels of silver, by the shekel of the sanctuary. 4 And if she is a female, and shall be your evaluation thirty shekels. 5 And if from a son of five years and unto a son of twenty years, and shall be your evaluation of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 6 And if from a son of a month and unto a son of five years, and shall be your evaluation of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female of your evaluation three shekels of silver. 7 And if from a son of sixty years and upward; if a male, and shall be your evaluation fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 8 And if he is poor from your evaluation, and he shall stand to the face of the priest, and the priest shall evaluate him; upon the mouth which she, the hand, is able the one vowing shall the priest evaluate him.
9 And if of an animal, which they bring from her a Karban Offering to hwhy, all that that gives from him to hwhy shall be holy. 10 Shall not replace him, and shall not change him, a good by a bad, or a bad by a good: and if changing, shall change an animal by an animal, and shall be he and his alternate shall be holy. 11 And if any unclean animal, of which they do not bring a Karban Offering to hwhy, and shall stand ta-the animal to the face of the priest: 12 And the priest shall evaluate her between good and between bad: as the priest evaluates you, so shall be. 13 And if redeeming, shall redeem, and shall add his fifth unto your evaluation. 14 And a man: if shall sanctify ta-his house holy to hwhy, and the priest shall evaluate him, between good and between bad: as which the priest shall evaluate him, so shall stand. 15 And if the one with sanctifying shall redeem ta-his house, and shall add a fifth of silver of your evaluation unto him, and shall be to him. 16 And if from a field of his property a man shall sanctify to hwhy, and shall be your estimation by the mouth of his seed: a khomer of barley seed by the fifty shekels of silver.
17 If from the year of The Jubilee, shall sanctify his field, according to your evaluation shall stand. 18 And if after The Jubilee shall sanctify his field, and the priest shall compute to him ta-the silver upon the mouth of the remainder of the years, unto the year of The Jubilee, and be deducted from your evaluation. 19 And if redeeming, shall redeem ta-the field the one sanctifying him, and shall add a fifth of silver of your evaluation unto him, and rises to him. 20 And if shall not redeem ta-the field, and if has sold ta-the field to another man, shall not be redeemed again. 21 And shall be the field, in his going out in The Jubilee, shall be holy to hwhy, as a field devoted; she shall be to the priest of his possession. 22 And if ta-a field from his purchase which is not from the field of his possession shall be sanctified to hwhy; 23 And shall compute to him the priest ta-the enumeration of ta-your evaluation, unto the year of The Jubilee: and give ta-your evaluation in that, the day, a holy thing to hwhy. 24 In the year of The Jubilee shall return the field to whom bought him from him, of whom to him is a possession of the land. 25 And all your evaluation shall be by the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel. 26 Only the firstling, which shall be a firstborn to hwhy among the animals, shall not a man sanctify him; if an ox, if a sheep: he is to hwhy. 27 And if among the unclean animals, and shalll be ransomed in your evaluation, and shall add his fifth upon him: and if shall not be redeemed, and shall be sold according to your evaluation. 28 But any devoted thing, which a man shall devote to hwhy from all which is to him, from Adam and from animal, and from the field of his possession, shall not be sold and shall not be redeemed: every devoted thing, he is holy of holies to hwhy. 29 Any devoted thing, which shall be devoted from the Adam, shall not be ransomed; dying, shall die.
30 And all the tithe of the land, from the seed of the land, from the fruit of the tree, he is to hwhy: holy to hwhy. 31 And if redeeming, shall redeem a man from his tithes, his fifth shall add upon him. 32 And all the tithe of the herd, and of the flock, all that go over under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to hwhy. 33 shall not search between good to the bad, and shall not change him: and if changing, shall change him, he shall be, and his substitute shall be holy; shall not be redeemed. 34 These are the commandments, which hwhy commanded ta-Moses to the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai.
In this chapter, hwhy made Moses for some of the things in these commandments. Everytime the word "you" or "your" is mentioned, it refers to Moses.
As one can see the evaluation of a male is more than a female. hwhy intended that way for a woman to give less, which is an act of mercy for the woman. Look at today regarding women in the workforce. It does not apply to everybody, but the woman of the world want to have equal status and equal pay that a man has. The reason they are doing this, because the world lies to them by saying that they can be independent from men and don't need men and can be as equal as men. This seems to be one of the issues regarding the last days of this earth before Yeshua returns.
Also, the amount of silver shekels men and women sixty years and up pay less than those twenty to sixty years. This is the oldest recording of a Senior Citizen discount.
Also notice the amount of silver shekels required for the younger ones between five and twenty years old, and cheaper between a month old and five years old. This is the oldest account of rate based on ages. This practice has been used, in example, for bus fares, circuses, Disney World, and other activity places, where children of certain ages get in cheaper than their older siblings and parents, and some organizations have children ages five and under go in for free.
Regarding the evaluation of the houses and the fields, this is the earliest account of estate appraisals.
Notice verse seventeen
16 And if from a field of his property a man shall sanctify to hwhy, and shall be your estimation by the mouth of his seed: a khomer of barley seed by the fifty shekels of silver.
This evaluation would have most likely occurred during the Spring season, because it is the only time that barley would grow.
The Levites are in charge of the monetary rate and the monetary evaluation. One of the famous Jewish family involved in banking are the Vanderbilts. Also the chairman of the Federal Reserve have in recent past and current been Jews. The current chair is Janet Yellen, who is Jewish, and preceded her was Bob Bernanke, and before him was Alan Greenspan, all Jewish. All of them held this office for the last twenty eight years.
The United States the government used to set the gold and silver standard (scale) for the dollar starting in 1792 under the "Mint and Coinage Act". This lasted until 1914 when the Federal Reserve began commission, took over the standard, and created the "Federal Reserve Note" which started the decline of the gold standard, and in 1933 "Executive Order 6102" made it illegal for any U.S. citizen to sell or trade gold or gold currency anywhere in the world. It was followed by the "Gold Reserve Act" in 1934, which stated that all gold and gold notes that were held by the Federal Reserve were to be held only by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The final nail in the coffin was in 1971 when President Nixon ended the exchange of currency into gold. It was a complex history, but you can find this information on the Wikipedia web page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard
In verse three, the Hebrew word "shekel"- Shin, Kuph, Lamed (lqs). It is from Strong's concordance number 8255
"From H8254; probably a weight; used as a commercial standard: - shekel".
from 8254 "shakal"
"A primitive root; to suspend or poise (especially in trade): - pay, receive (-r), spend, X throughly, weigh".
This is where we get our modern English word "scale".
In verse eighteen, the Hebrew word for compute is "khashav"- Khet, Shin, Bet (bsx). It is from Strong's concordance number 2803
"A primitive root; properly to plait or interpenetrate, that is, (literally) to weave or (generally) to fabricate; figuratively to plot or contrive (usually in a malicious sense); hence (from the mental effort) to think, regard, value, compute: - (make) account (of), conceive, consider, count, cunning (man, work, workman), devise, esteem, find out, forecast, hold, imagine, impute, invent, be like, mean, purpose, reckon (-ing be made), regard, think".
Without the Bet, this is where we get our modern English word "cash".
I give credit to Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries for revealing this, because it was the first time I heard about it. To end this, if one has not noticed, this whole book of Leviticus had a time span, from the beginning of chapter one to the end of chapter twenty seven, of "one month", because the book of Edodus starts in chapter forty
Exodus 40:17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
And the Numbers chapter one, verse one
Numbers 1:1 And hwhy spake unto Moses in The Wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt...
Next week, we'll be reading the book of Numbers which covers thirty eight years of their journey.
That ends the commentary on this week's Torah portion. This also ends the book of Leviticus
Don't cry. We will read you again next year.
