CHAPTER
10
Exodus
10:1-29
Exo 10:1
And hwhy said to
Moses, Go to
Pharaoh: for I, I have made heavy ta-his heart,
and ta-the heart of
his servants,
by that, I will set My Signs of these in his nearness:
2 And by that,
you
may recount (account, enumerate, enroll, number, record, scribe) in the
ears of
your son, and the son of
your son ta which I
have imposed (exerted, effected) against Egypt, and ta-My Signs
which I have put (set) on (against) them; and you may
know for I am hwhy.
3 And
Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and they said to him, Thus
says hwhy, Elohim of
the (Hebrim) Hebrews, Until how long
will you refuse to humble from My Face? Send away My People, and may
serve Me. 4 For if
you refuse to send away ta-My People, behold,
tomorrow, I am with bringing the locusts in your border: 5 and will
cover (conceal) ta-the eye of
the land, and shall not be able to see ta-the land: and will eat ta-the yether-remainder
(remnant, rest)
that
escaped that was sha'ahr-left (remained, reserved) to you
from
the hail, and will eat ta-all of the trees that sprouts
to
you from the field: 6
And they will fill your houses, and
the houses of all of your servants, and the houses of all of Egypt;
which your fathers, and the fathers of your fathers, they have not
seen, from
the day they have been upon the Ground until this day. And faced away,
and went out from with Pharaoh.
7 And the servants of Pharaoh, they said to
him, Until how long shall this
be for a snare (noose) to us? Send away ta-the men, and
they may serve ta-hwhy, their
Elohim: That do you interruptedly (not yet) know for Egypt is perishing?
8 And ta-Moses and ta-Aaron were returned to
Pharaoh:
and said to them, Go, serve ta-hwhy, your
Elohim: Who and who are
the ones going? 9 And Moses said, We will go on our young and on our
old, on our sons and on our daughters. We will go on our flocks and on
our
herds; for to us is a feast of hwhy. 10 And said to them,
So. Is hwhy with
you [(So hwhy is with you)] as the which I
will send you away and ta-your little
ones?: See;
for evil is before (at the front of) your
faces.
11 Not so: The mighty men, they shall go now, and they will serve ta-hwhy; for you were with seeking
(inquiring) her.
And was the driving out of them [(And drove them out)] from ta
the face of Pharaoh.
12 And hwhy said to
Moses, Stretch out (Stretch forth) your hand upon (over) the land of
Egypt on the
locusts, and
will ascend upon (over) the land of Egypt and will eat ta-every plant
(herb) of the land of ta
all which the hail
sha'ahr-left (remained, reserved).
13 And Moses
stretched out (stretched forth) ta-his staff
(rod, branch) upon (over)
the land of Egypt, and hwhy drove forth an east
wind on
the land all that day, and all of the night; Became the breaking
period (morning), and the
east wind carried (lifted up, brought up) ta-the locusts.
14 And the
locusts ascended upon (over) all of the
land of Egypt, and rested much heavy in all of the border of Egypt: Not
were such locusts like him to his face, and
none shall be thus after them. 15 And was the covering (concealing)
[(And was covered (concealed))] ta-the eye of all of the Earth,
and the land, she became dark; And ate ta-every plant
(herb) of
the land, and ta all of the
fruit of the trees
which the hail had yether-remained (were remnant, had left): and not
yether-remained
(were remnant, left) any green
on the trees,
and on the plants (herbs) of the
field, in all of the land of Egypt.
16 And Pharaoh hurried to call
for
Moses and for Aaron; and said, I have sinned to hwhy, your
Elohim, and to
you.
17 And now, lift up (carry, bear) now my sin surely the one time [(that
time)], and intercede (entreat) to hwhy, your
Elohim, and remove (turn away) from upon me ta-this death
only.
18 And went out from with Pharaoh and interceded (entreated) to hwhy. 19
And hwhy made change a much strong
sea
(west)
wind, and carried away (lifted away, bore up) ta-the locusts,
and thrust (slapped, clattered) them to the Yam Suph [(Sea of Reeds,
Red Sea)]; had not
sha'ahr-left (reamined, reserved)
one locust in
all of the border of Egypt. 20 And hwhy strengthened ta-the heart of Pharaoh, and did
not send away ta-the Sons of
Israel.
21
And hwhy said to
Moses, Stretch out (Stretched forth) your hand upon (over) the Heavens,
and shall be
darkness
over (upon) the land of
Egypt, and will feel darkness. 22 And Moses stretched out (stretched
forth)
ta-his hand
upon (over) the Heavens; and
was a darkness of gloom (duskiness, misfortune) [(gloom (duskiness,
misfortune) of darkness)] in all of the land
of Egypt three
days: 23 They, a man, did not see ta-his brother, and a man, they
did
not
rise
from
his stead three
days: and was light to all of the Sons of Israel in
their dwellings.
24 And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said,
Go, serve ta-hwhy; only make stay your flocks and
your herds: your little ones shall also
go with you. 25 And
Moses said, You, you must also give in our hands Sacrifices and
Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and we will
do (make, prepare)
for hwhy, our Elohim.
26 And also our livestock
shall go with us; she shall not sha'ahr-be left (remain, reserve) a
split hoof; for from
him, we
shall
take to serve ta-hwhy, our Elohim;
and we, we do not know what we will serve ta-hwhy, until we come there. 27
And hwhy strengthened ta-the heart of Pharaoh,
and was not willing (consenting) to send them away. 28 And Pharaoh
said to him,
Go from upon me. Guard (Keep, Take heed, Observe) to
yourself, you
shall not add (again) at seeing my face [(shall not see my
face
again)]; for in
the day you see
my face, you shall die. 29 And Moses
said,
So you have spoken, I will not add (again) at seeing your face
anymore.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have
comments)
Verses one and two
Continuing with the ten plagues from our last Torah portion:
THE
EIGHTH PLAGUE
1
And hwhy said to
Moses, Go to
Pharaoh: for I, I have made heavy ta-his heart,
and ta-the heart of
his servants,
by that, I will set My Signs of these in his nearness:
2 And by that,
you
may recount (account, enumerate, enroll, number, record, scribe) in the
ears of
your son, and the son of
your son ta which I
have imposed (exerted, effected) against Egypt, and ta-My Signs
which I have put (set) on (against) them; and you may
know for I am hwhy.
In other words, hwhy
told Moses to
pass His Signs to the Israelites and their descendants, so that they
will not
forget what happened in Egypt. hwhy
had Moses reiterated this
similar phrase regarding His Commandments for future generations, which
is noted in the
Torah portion of Va-Ethkhanan, in the
book of Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy
6:1 And
this is
the Commandment, the Statutes, and the Judgments, which hwhy, your Elohim,
commanded to have you
learn to do in
the land which you
are going over to there there to
possess her: 2 by that, you shall revere (give awe, fear) ta-hwhy, your
Elohim, to keep ta-all of His Statutes and His
Commandments, which I
commanded you, you, and your
son, and the son of your son, all the days of your life; and by that,
your days
shall be lengthened.
Indirectly related, during Yeshua's time, the Jews wanted signs, but He
noted them as a "perverse generation" that sought a sign, which is
noted
in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 12:38 Then
certain of the Scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master,
we would see a sign from Thee. 39 But He answered and said unto
them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there
shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For
as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall
the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the
earth.
Continuing with
Mark Biltz of El Shaddai
Ministries from last week's Torah portion of Va-Eyra, in the
book of Exodus, notice that it
was hwhy that made
Pharaoh's heart heavy ("kaveyd" (dbk)) in verse one of this week's
Torah portion passage instead of Pharaoh
himself as he did in the previous plagues. Based on the past accounts
of the plagues, it looks like that
Pharaoh might be starting to get weary of making his own heart heavy.
Verses three through six
3 And
Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and they said to him, Thus
says hwhy, Elohim of
the (Hebrim) Hebrews, Until how long
will you refuse to humble from My Face? Send away My People, and may
serve Me. 4 For if
you refuse to send away ta-My People, behold,
tomorrow, I am with bringing the locusts in your border: 5 and will
cover (conceal) ta-the eye of
the land, and shall not be able to see ta-the land: and will eat ta-the yether-remainder
(remnant, rest)
that
escaped that was sha'ahr-left (remained, reserved) to you
from
the hail, and will eat ta-all of the trees that sprouts
to
you from the field: 6
And they will fill your houses, and
the houses of all of your servants, and the houses of all of Egypt;
which your fathers, and the fathers of your fathers, they have not
seen, from
the day they have been upon the Ground until this day. And faced away,
and went out from with Pharaoh.
This is the second time that a kind of plague would be recorded as none
of its kind like it in Egypt.
Based on this information, some of the green plants survived the last
plague of the hail, but now, this plague will make sure that none will
survive.
Notice that Pharaoh did not have Moses come to him and respond to Moses
for the first
time in all of the plagues that were cast against him.
Verse seven
7 And the servants of Pharaoh, they said to
him, Until how long shall this
be for a snare (noose) to us? Send away ta-the men, and
they may serve ta-hwhy, their
Elohim: That do you interruptedly (not yet) know for Egypt is perishing?
This is the first time that Pharaoh's servants were defending Moses.
This must be humiliating to Pharaoh, "Rah on Earth" to come to the
point of submitting to Moses' Elohim.
Verses eight through eleven
8 And ta-Moses and ta-Aaron were returned to
Pharaoh:
and said to them, Go, serve ta-hwhy, your
Elohim: Who and who are
the ones going? 9 And Moses said, We will go on our young and on our
old, on our sons and on our daughters. We will go on our flocks and on
our
herds; for to us is a feast of hwhy. 10 And said to them,
So. Is hwhy with
you [(So hwhy is with you)] as the which I
will send you away and ta-your little
ones?: See;
for evil is before (at the front of) your
faces.
11 Not so: The mighty men, they shall go now, and they will serve ta-hwhy; for you were with seeking
(inquiring) her.
And was the driving out of them [(And drove them out)] from ta
the face of Pharaoh.
This first part of verse ten of this week's Torah portion passage shows
that Pharaoh was questioning Moses'
response to whom were going with Moses out of Egypt. Either Pharaoh
must have forgotten that Moses told him all this, or Pharaoh could have
said this in a mocking
way to Moses and Aaron. In a way, Pharaoh's was saying to Moses that
"he"- Pharaoh- will
let them go, because hwhy
is with them, and hwhy is not making
them go.
In other words Pharaoh was asking Moses "Do you think you are going to
tempt me to send everybody out of my land because of your hwhy? "Not so!"".
Pharaoh responds his own question to Moses in two parts: The first part
is the ending of
verse ten of this week's Torah portion passage when he says to Moses
and Aaron that evil is before your
face, meaning that Moses and Aaron "are" looking at "Evil", meaning
"Pharaoh" himself. This was a
precursor
to the second part in verse eleven of this week's Torah portion passage
in which his answer to Moses and
Aaron was "Not so". This answer was in connection starting with
Pharaoh questioning Moses in verse eight and Moses' response in verse
nine of this week's Torah portion passage. Pharaoh was saying, in many
words, to Moses and Aaron, "hwhy will not tell
me who are going with you, but "I" will tell you who are going, and it
will be just the "men". In other words, Pharaoh was still trying to put
himself above hwhy , and
controlling the game.
Brad Scott of Wildbrach Ministry and Bill
Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries
noted that based on the Hebrew, the two outer Hebrew letters
Pharaoh's make up one word on the outside, while the letters in the
middle make
up the account of the inner meaning of that word. A good example of
this is Pharaoh's name himself.
Looking at the word PHARAOH
The Hebrew word for Pharaoh is
"Pah-roh"- Peh, Resh, Ayin, Heh (herp). It is from Strong's Concordance
number 6547, and its definition
Of
Egyptian derivation; Paroh, a generic title of Egyptian kings: -
Pharaoh.
It does not give a definition, but Brad Scott noted by taking the
two
outer Hebrew letters of Pharaoh's name and we get "Peh" (hp), which is
translated as "mouth". Brad Scott and Bill Cloud continues by taking
the two Hebrew letters inside, and it makes the word
"Ra" (er), and this word
is
commonly translated as "evil". By that, the the Hebrew name of Pharaoh
is translated as "the Mouth of Evil", and it, in a way, connects with
verse ten of this week's Torah portion passage when Pharaoh says to
Moses
10 ....See;
for evil
is before (at the front of) your
faces.
In other words, Pharaoh was saying to Moses "I am "evil"",
and Pharaoh can use his mouth for evil allright.
Also, Pharaoh said
that in verse eleven of this week's Torah portion passage it was "her"
you were inquiring. In other words, Pharaoh was
still trying to portray himself as
Rah, the false elohim, and was saying to Moses that he was the elohim
and not hwhy, and his
"word", which is female, who is "her", is above hwhy's Word. A good
example of the word being female is hwhy's Torah, which
is noted later in this week's Torah portion
Exodus 13:9 And shall be to you for a
Sign upon your
hand, and for a Memorial between your eyes, by that, the Teaching
(Torah) of hwhy, she will be
in your
mouth:...
The Hebrew word for she will be is "tee-h'yey" (hyht) in which the
Tav in this Hebrew word is the feminine gender for the word "hayah" (hyh) which is the
"be" verb.
Also in verse eleven of this
week's Torah portion passage, when Pharaoh was making statements to
Moses and
Aaron, he was in many words saying to Moses and Aaron that they were
requiring Pharaoh and not hwhy, and that Pharaoh
is responding based on his own inquiry and not hwhy through Moses and Aaron's in
verse nine of this week's Torah portion passage.
Indirectly related, this was HaSatan's plan when he tried to exalt
himself above hwhy, which is noted
in the
book of the prophet
Isaiah
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou
fallen from heaven, Heyleyl, son of the morning! how art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast
said in thine heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of El: I will sit also upon the mount of
the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the
heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou
shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
The name in the
King James Version calls him Lucifer, but in the Hebrew it is
"Heyleyl"- Heh, Yod, Lamed, Lamed (llyh) from Strong's
Concordance number 1966. This is where we get our modern English word
"Hell", the place of "Heyleyl's" location.
Also, Pharaoh thought twice to realize that he did not want the
children to go. Mark Biltz of El
Shaddai
Ministries noted in a
generality that if one can get the kids, one can control the next
generation. If Pharaoh kept the children, he would make them forget
this account of Moses and mingle into the Egyptian culture. For
example, look at the colleges and universities today:
Who are the instructors today? Are a good amount of these professors
teaching the same Biblical principles that their predecessors taught
100 years ago? No, they are not. If not, what are they teaching to
their
students today? A good amount of them are teaching them things that are
contrary to the Scriptures, as well as the Constitution. What happens
to the students who graduate when they go out in the world with what
they were taught? They will take what they have learned and "mingle" it
into their fabric culture, and tear the Biblical fabric apart, and
thus, by the next generation, it will be an anti-Biblical society.
Verses twelve through fifteen
12 And hwhy said to
Moses, Stretch out (Stretch forth) your hand upon (over) the land of
Egypt on the
locusts, and
will ascend upon (over) the land of Egypt and will eat ta-every plant
(herb) of the land of ta
all which the hail
sha'ahr-left (remained, reserved).
13 And Moses
stretched out (stretched forth) ta-his staff
(rod, branch) upon (over)
the land of Egypt, and hwhy drove forth an east
wind on
the land all that day, and all of the night; Became the breaking
period (morning), and the
east wind carried (lifted up, brought up) ta-the locusts.
14 And the
locusts ascended upon (over) all of the
land of Egypt, and rested much heavy in all of the border of Egypt: Not
were such locusts like him to his face, and
none shall be thus after them. 15 And was the covering (concealing)
[(And was covered (concealed))] ta-the eye of all of the Earth,
and the land, she became dark; And ate ta-every plant
(herb) of
the land, and ta all of the
fruit of the trees
which the hail had yether-remained (were remnant, had left): and not
yether-remained
(were remnant, left) any green
on the trees,
and on the plants (herbs) of the
field, in all of the land of Egypt.
Notice in verse thirteen of this week's Torah portion passage that it
took about twenty four hours before the
locusts arrived at
the land
13 ...all that day, and all
of the night...
It took a long time for the locusts to arrive, but it is understandable
that it would take all night for them to arrive. By the way, these
grasshoppers are also part of the food chain, and the food chain
element that eat
grasshoppers were about gone. And who were those that eat
grasshoppers?..... Frogs! The frogs were gone, and the grasshoppers
dominated since then. It also took the wind to bring an
enumerous amount of these locusts to cover a wide space of land.
Regarding the
east wind, hwhy showed
Pharaoh in his dream that the east wind
would provide seven years of famine, which is noted in the Torah
portion
of Mikeyts, in the book of Genesis
Genesis
41:5 And slept, and calm-dreamed a
second:
and behold,
seven plump and good ears were ascending on one stalk. 6 And
behold, seven ears lean (thin) and of an eastern blast (scorch)
sprouted
after them.
7 And the lean (thin) ears, they
swallowed ta the seven plump and full
ears.
And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, was a calm dream.... 27 And the seven lean (thin) and evil cows ascending after
them,
they are seven years; and the seven
empty ears of an eastern blast (scorch), they are seven years of the
famine.
This verse shows us that the east wind created famines. These are other
examples where the east wind is implied for negative means in various
books:
Job 15:2 Should a wise man
utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Job 27:21 The east wind
carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of
his place.
Isaiah 27:7 Hath he
smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? Or is he slain according
to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? 8 In measure, when
it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: He stayeth His rough wind
in the day of the east wind. 9 By this therefore shall the
iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his
sin; when he maketh all the stones of the Altar as chalkstones that are
beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
Jeremiah 18:15 Because My
People hath forgotten Me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they
have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to
walk in paths, in a way not cast up; 16 To make their land
desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall
be astonished, and wag his head. 17 I will scatter them as with an
east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the
face, in the day of their calamity.
Hosea 13:15 Though
he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the
Wind
of hwhy shall come up from the
wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be
dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
hwhy
revealed in various places in the Tanakh that
the east wind provides massive events, including in this current Torah
portion regarding the locusts.
Verse sixteen and seventeen
16 And Pharaoh hurried to call
for
Moses and for Aaron; and said, I have sinned to hwhy, your
Elohim, and to
you.
17 And now, lift up (carry, bear) now my sin surely the one time [(that
time)], and intercede (entreat) to hwhy, your
Elohim, and remove (turn away) from upon me ta-this death
only.
Pharaoh said to Moses in verse sixteen of this week's Torah portion
passage that he sinned
against "your" Elohim. Pharaoh did not humble himself to accept hwhy as "the Elohim"
to be "Pharaoh's" Elohim,
becuase he is "Rah, el on earth", or should I say "Rah, hell on earth".
Pharaoh still had a hardened
heart when he said to Moses and Aaron to
forgive him and his sin "only this once", meaning that he doesn't like
to ask forgiveness, but to get them and hwhy
off his back, and in a way saying that he is not going to ask
forgiveness in the future, since he is "Rah on earth".
A question comes to me. "Why
did
Pharaoh say in verse seventeen for
Elohim to take away "this death only""? What did Pharaoh mean by that?
All I can see is that Pharaoh saw this plague as "death". If Pharaoh
thought this plague was a death, he has a surprise coming to him. And
if he only knew that the last plague of the first born's death would
approach him later, he probably would have wished that he took these
words back.
Verses eighteen through twenty
18 And went out from with Pharaoh and interceded (entreated) to hwhy. 19
And hwhy made change a much strong
sea
(west)
wind, and carried away (lifted away, bore up) ta-the locusts,
and thrust (slapped, clattered) them to the Yam Suph [(Sea of Reeds,
Red Sea)]; had not
sha'ahr-left (reamined, reserved)
one locust in
all of the border of Egypt. 20 And hwhy strengthened ta-the heart of Pharaoh, and did
not send away ta-the Sons of
Israel.
This act of the locusts being removed to the Sea of Reeds could have
been a
symbolic prophetic hint to Pharaoh and his army that they will be
symbolic locusts cast
into the
Sea of Reeds which will come to pass later, which is notedin the Torah
portion of
B'shalakh, in the book of Exodus
Exodus 14:27 And
Moses stretched out (stretched forth) ta-his hand over (upon) the sea, and
the sea returned to his permanence to the face of
breaking period (morning); and ta-Egypt fled
to meet (encounter) him;
and hwhy overthrew (shook off) ta-Egypt in
the midst of the sea. 28 And the waters, they returned, and they
covered (concealed) ta-the
chariots, and ta-the
horsemen (hoofmen), to all of the force (valiant ones) of Pharaoh that
were
coming in
the sea
after them; Was not remained (left) among them unto one.
As it is known and confirmed that the Sea of Reeds today is the Gulf of
Aquaba, between Saudi Arabia and the Sinai Peninsula, which was
occupied by Egypt at the time. I will explain this in next week's Torah
portion of B'shalakh.
In verse
twenty of this week's Torah portion passage, hwhy strengthened
Pharaoh's heart
("khazak" (qzx)) to give him a
boost to continue in hwhy's Plan.
King David noted this plague, which is noted in the book of the Psalms
Psalm 105:34 He spake,
and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
REVELATION'S RELEVANCE TO THE
EIGHTH PLAGUE
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb
Ministries noted this, which is noted in the book of Revelation
Revelation 9:1 And the
fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from the heavens unto the
earth:
and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he
opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke
out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the
air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there
came
out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given
power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was
commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth,
neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which
have not the seal of hwhy in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but
that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the
torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days
shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die,
and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were
like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it
were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as
the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were
breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of
chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails
like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their
power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over
them, which is the Angel of the Bottomless Pit, whose name in the
Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name
Apollyon. 12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes
more hereafter.
THE
EGYPTIAN eLOHIM RELATING TO THE
EIGHTH PLAGUE
The most likely Egyptian deity related to this plague is "Osiris". This
is what the Wikipedia website says regarding this deity:
"Osiris
(,
alternatively Ausir, Asiri or Ausar, among
other spellings), was an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of
the afterlife, the underworld, and the
dead, but more appropriately as the god of transition, resurrection,
and regeneration. He was classically depicted as a green-skinned man
with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a
distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and
holding a symbolic crook and flail. Osiris was at times considered the
oldest son of the earth god Geb, though other sources state his father
is the sun-god Ra
and the sky goddess Nut, as well as being brother and husband of Isis,
with Horus being considered his posthumously begotten son.
He was also associated with the epithet Khenti-Amentiu, meaning
"Foremost of the Westerners", a reference to his kingship in the land
of the dead.
As ruler of the dead, Osiris was also sometimes called "king of the
living": ancient Egyptians considered the blessed dead "the living
ones".
Osiris was considered the brother of Isis, Set,
Nephthys, and Horus the Elder, and father of Horus the younger. Osiris
is first attested in the middle of the Fifth
dynasty of Egypt, although it is likely that he was worshipped
much earlier;
the Khenti-Amentiu epithet dates to at least the first dynasty, also as
a pharaonic title. Most information available on the myths of Osiris is
derived from allusions contained in the Pyramid Texts at the end of the
Fifth Dynasty, later New Kingdom source documents such as the Shabaka
Stone and the Contending of Horus and Seth, and much later, in
narrative style from the writings of Greek authors including Plutarch and
Diodorus Siculus.
Osiris was
considered not only a merciful judge of the dead in the afterlife, but
also the underworld agency that granted all life, including sprouting
vegetation and the fertile flooding of the Nile
River. He was described as the "Lord of love",
"He Who is Permanently Benign and Youthful" and the "Lord of
Silence".
The Kings of Egypt were associated with Osiris in death — as
Osiris rose from the dead they would, in union with him, inherit
eternal life through a process of imitative magic. By the New Kingdom all people, not just pharaohs,
were believed to be associated with Osiris at death, if they incurred
the costs of the assimilation rituals.
Through
the hope of new life after death, Osiris began to
be associated with the cycles observed in nature, in particular
vegetation and the annual flooding of the Nile, through his links with
the heliacal
rising of Orion and Sirius at the start of the new year. Osiris was widely
worshipped as Lord of the Dead until the suppression of the Egyptian religion during the rise of Christianity
in the Roman Empire".
These are images
of Osiris
This is Osiris growing wheat from its body
Notice that this deity is green colored. This was most likely the
deity's symbol of vegetation.
Another possible Egyptian deity that was most relevant to this plague
was "Senehem",
an Egyptian deity. According to Answers.com, it possibly had a head of
a
locust. This is what the website says regarding Senehem:
"Senehem:
possibly
locust-headed, god of protection from ravages of pests".
There are no images of this deity that I could find.
Verses twenty-one through twenty
three
THE NINTH
PLAGUE
21
And hwhy said to
Moses, Stretch out (Stretched forth) your hand upon (over) the Heavens,
and shall be
darkness
over (upon) the land of
Egypt, and will feel darkness. 22 And Moses stretched out (stretched
forth)
ta-his hand
upon (over) the Heavens; and
was a darkness of gloom (duskiness, misfortune) [(gloom (duskiness,
misfortune) of darkness)] in all of the land
of Egypt three
days: 23 They, a man, did not see ta-his brother, and a man, they
did
not
rise
from
his stead three
days: and was light to all of the Sons of Israel in
their dwellings.
This account can
be compared to the account, which is noted in the Torah portion of
B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis
Genesis 1:4 ...And
Elohim divided (separated, distinguished) between the Light and between
the Darkness.
hwhy can
divide
the light and the darkness.
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb
Ministries noted the prophet Isaiah regarding the darkness,
which is noted in
his book
Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for
thy light is come, and the Glory of hwhy is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold,
the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people:
but hwhy shall arise upon thee, and
His Glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the gentiles shall come
to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4 Lift up
Thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together,
they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters
shall be nursed at thy side.
This darkness are for those who are against hwhy.
Symbolically,
this can relate the Egypt, symbolic of "the world" being
in "spiritual darkness" and the believers of Yeshua being in "spiritual
light". Yeshua is "the Light" of the world, which is the Light that
shone for Israel during this plague, which is noted in the
Gospel of John
John 1:4 In Him was Life; and
the Life was the Light of Men. 5 And the Light shineth in darkness; and
the darkness comprehended It not.
John 8:12 Then spake
Yeshua again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the World: he that
followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of
Life.
John 9:5 As long as
I am in the world, I am the Light of the World.
This week's Torah portion passage must have been an interesting site to
see at that time. I wished
they portrayed this in a Moses movie.
This Torah portion account of darkness for three days is also a type
and shadow of Yeshua, the
Light, who was buried near or at the
Garden of Gethsemene, in complete darkness in the tomb, for three days
and nights.
A question came to me, "If it was completely dark, and if the Egyptians
had lamps to light, why didn't the Egyptians light their lamps when
they
had them"? I don't have an answer for this, unless they did do it, but
as far as I know, the darkness overcame them from finding their lamps.
When it said that they "felt" the darkness, in my opinion, it was an
act of hinderance that put the Egyptians in their place and prevented
them from moving around.
Indirectly related, there are
accounts of those who are not in Yeshua that are walking in darkness,
or will be thrown into outer darkness. There are a few examples, which
are noted in the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John
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.
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.
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.
Luke 11:34 The light
of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole
body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also
is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light which
is in thee be not darkness.
John 3:19 And this
is the Condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved
darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
There are other Scriptures sources referring to those who would be in
darkness, and/or would be cast out into outer darkness.
Those who are not
believers in the Judgment Day will be in outer
darkness.
King David
recalled this plague in the book of Psalms
Psalm 105:28 He sent
darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against ta-His word.
Verse twenty four
24 And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said,
Go, serve ta-hwhy; only make stay your flocks and
your herds: your little ones shall also
go with you.
Pharaoh changed his mind from
the
eighth plague by refusing to let the young ones go, and now he was
saying "Ok, you can take the young ones now, but leave the flocks and
the herds behind". Pharaoh is
starting to sound more like Laban, thinking he
could
get away with giving Moses a little more than the last time. Pharaoh wants to
be the controller of the deal and not
allow hwhy through Moses
to control the game. Pharaoh kept offering different deals that is not
at all
what hwhy
said to Moses, so that Pharaoh could get the
upper hand against Moses and dominate him, because Pharaoh was Pharaoh,
King of Egypt,
"Rah on Earth". hwhy showed
that Pharaoh was trying to "compromise" Moses again, which in this case
it was to have
Israel leave their animals behind, probably because of the destruction
of the vegetation, not leaving anything for the animals and the people
to eat. Maybe Pharaoh said this to make up for the loss of vegetation
for the people's diet. I don't know. The
problem with Pharaoh is that he was not dealing with Moses, but
with hwhy,
and hwhy
gets the final Word and not Pharaoh, which will be shown in the next
chapter of this week's Torah portion.
Verse twenty five and twenty six
25 And
Moses said, You, you must also give in our hands Sacrifices and
Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and we will
do (make, prepare)
for hwhy, our Elohim.
26 And also our livestock
shall go with us; she shall not sha'ahr-be left (remain, reserve) a
split hoof; for from
him, we
shall
take to serve ta-hwhy, our Elohim;
and we, we do not know what we will serve ta-hwhy, until we come there.
Moses defend hwhy
by saying to
Pharaoh that the Israelites need the animals to give sacrifices to hwhy. In other words
Moses is saying to Pharaoh "We need the whole package".
REVELATION'S RELEVANCE TO THE
NINTH PLAGUE
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb
Ministries noted this week's Torah portion passage
in revlence to this plague, which is noted in the apostle John's book
of Revelation
Revelation 16:10 And the
fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom
was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
We in Messiah will experience this in our lives in our relationship
with Yeshua. There will be
"Pharaoh
want-a-bees" that will try to get us to accept less than
what hwhy
wants, and go against the Word of hwhy.
Verses twenty seven through
twenty nine
27
And hwhy strengthened ta-the heart of Pharaoh,
and was not willing (consenting) to send them away. 28 And Pharaoh
said to him,
Go from upon me. Guard (Keep, Take heed, Observe) to
yourself, you
shall not add (again) at seeing my face [(shall not see my
face
again)]; for in
the day you see
my face, you shall die. 29 And Moses
said,
So you have spoken, I will not add (again) at seeing your face
anymore.
This was supposed to be that last time Pharaoh and Moses were to see
each other, but Moses sounded "princely" when he replied back to him in
verse twenty nine of this week's Torah portion passage. It was like
Moses was hinting to Pharaoh that he was once
a
prince in Egypt. Moses was also saying to Pharaoh that he
had the last word which was true, but hwhy
will be
indirectly having
the final say through Pharaoh as we will see in the next chapter of
this week's Torah portion.
A possible theory came to me based on verses twenty eight and twenty
nine of this week's Torah portion. When Moses was
following hwhy,
Moses was
protected and immuned to any past issues, including all the things
he said, did or agreed to. When Moses disobeyed hwhy
when Moses was
commanded to speak to the rock at Meribath to bring forth water, but
instead struck the rock with the staff, twice, and was hot tempered
against the Israelites, hwhy
told Moses that he
would not cross over to the land and would eventually die on that side
of the river. Much was given to Moses and much was required of him.
In my theory, when Moses was
told that he was going to die, hwhy
reapplied these
two verses between Pharaoh and Moses, in which Moses did see Pharaoh
again in chapter twelve of this week's Torah portion passage
Exodus 12:31 And
called for
Moses and for Aaron at night, and said, Arise! and go out from the
midst of my people, also you, also the Sons
of Israel; And go, serve ta-hwhy according to [(as)] your word! 32
Take also your
flocks, also your
herds as the which you
spoke,
and go; And you bless
me also!
When Moses met Pharaoh again,
Moses was a dead man, because Pharaoh
spoke the word
and Moses agreed to Pharaoh's word that Moses would die was to come to
pass.
However, hwhy
kept Moses
immune to this broken word until that point in Meribath. hwhy
had no choice
but to reactivate Pharaoh's words to Moses in verse twenty eight of
this week's Torah portion chapter.
Also, Moses killing the
Egyptian could have had an impact, resulting in hwhy's Judgment
against Moses. As a result of the issues mentioned above, hwhy judged Moses to
not have him go over the Jordan to the promised land.
hwhy also strengthened the heart of
Pharaoh ("khazak" (qzx)). hwhy gave the Pharaoh one more push of
strength in Pharaoh's heart
to prepare him for the last plague.
THE
EGYPTIAN eLOHIM RELATING TO THE
NINTH PLAGUE
The Egyptian deities related to this plague was "Ra", or "Amon-Ra", god
of
the sun,
and "Horus", a sky god.
This is what the Wikipedia website says regarding Ra:
"Ra...is
the ancient Egyptian solar deity. By the Fifth Dynasty (2494 to 2345
BCE) he had become a major god in ancient Egyptian religion,
identified primarily with the midday sun.
In
later Egyptian dynastic times, Ra was merged with the god Horus,
as
Ra-Horakhty ("Ra, who is Horus of the Two Horizons"). He was believed
to rule in all parts of the created world: the sky, the earth, and the
underworld. He was associated with the falcon or hawk. When in the New
Kingdom the god Amun rose to prominence he was fused with Ra as
Amun-Ra. During the Amarna Period, Akhenaten suppressed the cult of Ra
in favour of another solar deity, the Aten, the deified solar disc, but
after the death of Akhenaten the cult of Ra was restored."
"To
the Egyptians, the sun represented light, warmth, and growth. This made
the sun deity very important, as the sun was seen as the ruler of all
that he created. The sun disk was either seen as the body or eye of Ra."
These are images pertaining to Ra
This is what the Wikipedia says regarding Horus
"Horus is one of
the oldest and
most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion, who was
worshipped from at
least the late Predynastic period through to
Greco-Roman times.
Different forms of
Horus are recorded in history and these are treated as distinct gods by
Egypt specialists. These
various forms may
possibly be different perceptions of the same multi-layered deity in
which certain attributes or syncretic relationships
are emphasized,
not necessarily in opposition but complementary to one another,
consistent with how the Ancient Egyptians viewed the multiple facets of
reality. He was most
often depicted
as a falcon, most likely a lanner of peregrine, or as a
man with a falcon
head.
"Since Horus
was said to be
the sky, he was considered to also contain the sun and moon. It became
said that the sun was his right eye and the moon his left, and that
they traversed the sky when he, a falcon, flew across it."
These are the images referring to Horus
CHAPTER
11
Exodus
11:1-10
Exo 11:1 And hwhy said to
Moses, I
will still make come (bring) one plague upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt;
after thus,
shall
send you away from
this (here): As he sends away completely, driving, shall drive
you
out from this (here). 2 Speak now in the ears of the People,
and
they shall ask a man from ta
his
neighbor and a woman from ta
her
neighbor vessels of
silver and vessels of gold.
3 And hwhy gave the People ta-grace (favor) in
the eyes of
Egypt. Also, Moses, the man, was much great in the land of Egypt,
in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of the people.
4 And Moses said, Thus says hwhy, Accarding to [(As)]
the middle [(halfway)] of the night, I will go
out in the midst of Egypt: 5 And every firstborn in the
land
of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that is sitting upon
his
throne unto the firstborn of the female servant which is behind the
millstones; and every firstborn of animals. 6 And she shall
be a
great cry in all of the land of Egypt which has been none like him,
and she shall be none like him adding (again). 7 And to all of the Sons
of Israel shall a dog not move (sharpen) his tongue to with man
and unto
animal: by that,
you may know how which
hwhy shall distinguish
(differentiate)
between Egypt and between Israel. 8 And all of
these servants of yours
shall descend (come down) to me and they will bow to me, to say,
Go
out, you
and all of the people which are among your feet: And after thus, I will
go
out. And went out from with Pharaoh in the glowness of anger.
9 And hwhy said to
Moses, Pharaoh
shall not listen to you;
by that, My Miracles (Wonders) shall be multiplied
in the
land of Egypt. 10 And Moses and Aaron, they did ta-all of these
miracles (wonders) to the face of Pharaoh: And hwhy strengthened ta-the heart of Pharaoh, and did
not send away ta-the Sons of
Israel from his land.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have
comments)
hwhy was
saying
in this week's Torah portion chapter to Moses that this plague will be
the "grand finale"
against Egypt.
Verses one through three
Continuing with
the plagues from the previous chapter of this week's Torah portion:
THE
TENTH PLAGUE
1 And hwhy said to
Moses, I
will still make come (bring) one plague upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt;
after thus,
shall
send you away from
this (here): As he sends away completely, driving, shall drive
you
out from this (here). 2 Speak now in the ears of the People,
and
they shall ask a man from ta
his
neighbor and a woman from ta
her
neighbor vessels of
silver and vessels of gold.
3 And hwhy gave the People ta-grace (favor) in
the eyes of
Egypt. Also, Moses, the man, was much great in the land of Egypt,
in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of the people.
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb
Ministries noted that this was the first time in all of the Ten
Plagues that Moses was commanded to speak to the Assembly of the
People, the "Israelites" regarding the Tenth Plague. In other words, it
was
a commandment to the corporate people of Israel, and not the individual
as in the
previous nine plagues.
Notice it didn't say that
Moses
was very great in the eyes of Pharaoh. Why was this so? Because Pharaoh
was "Rah on Earth", and was supposed to be "the great one", but
instead,
Moses had become the new "great one". Recalling, this is what hwhy said
to Moses, which is noted in the Torah portion of Va-Eyra, in the book
of Exodus
Exodus 7:1 And hwhy said to Moses, See, I
have given you of an elohim to Pharaoh:...
In other words, it was a
competition between "Moses, an elohim to Pharaoh" and "Pharaoh, Rah on
Earth", but hwhy was saying to Moses that hwhy, Himself, will win over Pharaoh
through Moses, an elohim to Pharaoh. hwhy through Moses took away Pharaoh's
popularity, and Moses became greater than Pharaoh. Pharaoh was most
likely
jealous and upset at this, saying to himself "How dare my people see
Moses as greater than me, "Rah on earth"".
About 400 years later, the Philistines recalled the Egyptian plagues
regarding the Israelites, which is noted in the book of the prophet
Samuel
1 Samuel
4:6 And when
the Philistines heard ta-the noise of
the shout, they
said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the Camp of the
Hebrews? And they understood that the Ark of hwhy was come
into the camp. 7
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, Elohim is come into the
camp. And they said, Woe unto us! For there hath not been such a thing
heretofore. 8 Woe unto us! Who shall deliver us out of the
hand of
these mighty Elohim? These are the
Elohim that smote ta-the
Egyptians with all the
plagues in the wilderness.
The news of hwhy
and the
Israelites and the plagues had carried for generations in the
foreign nations.
Verses four through eight
4 And Moses said, Thus says hwhy, Accarding to [(As)]
the middle [(halfway)] of the night, I will go
out in the midst of Egypt: 5 And every firstborn in the
land
of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that is sitting upon
his
throne unto the firstborn of the female servant which is behind the
millstones; and every firstborn of animals. 6 And she shall
be a
great cry in all of the land of Egypt which has been none like him,
and she shall be none like him adding (again). 7 And to all of the Sons
of Israel shall a dog not move (sharpen) his tongue to with man
and unto
animal: by that,
you may know how which
hwhy shall distinguish
(differentiate)
between Egypt and between Israel. 8 And all of
these servants of yours
shall descend (come down) to me and they will bow to me, to say,
Go
out, you
and all of the people which are among your feet: And after thus, I will
go
out. And went out from with Pharaoh in the glowness of anger.
What hwhy is saying here
is that every Egyptian on Pharaoh's side will experience a death in
their home, whether a human being and/or an animal.
I am not clear about why the dogs would not move their tongues toward
the Israelites, but I have an idea why this was emphasized, which I
will reveal in a moment.
Verses nine and ten
9 And hwhy said to
Moses, Pharaoh
shall not listen to you;
by that, My Miracles (Wonders) shall be multiplied
in the
land of Egypt. 10 And Moses and Aaron, they did ta-all of these
miracles (wonders) to the face of Pharaoh: And hwhy strengthened ta-the heart of Pharaoh, and did
not send away ta-the Sons of
Israel from his land.
hwhy strengthened
the heart of Pharaoh for the last time, which is the Hebrew
text, "khazak" (qzx).
THE
EGYPTIAN eLOHIM RELATING TO THE
NINTH PLAGUE
I won't post all of them yet, but the Egyptian deity related to this
plague from this Torah portion passage is "Anibus". This is
what the Wikipedia website says
about this
deity
"Anubis
(//
or //;
Ancient Greek: Ἄνουβις)
is the Greek
name
of a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife
in ancient Egyptian religion.
Like
many ancient Egyptian deities,
Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as a
protector of graves as early as the First Dynasty (c. 3100 –
c.
2890 BC), Anubis was also an embalmer.
By the Middle Kingdom
(c.
2055 – 1650 BC), Anubis was replaced by Osiris in his role as
Lord of the underworld.
One of his
prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife.
He attended the weighing scale during the "Weighing of the Heart," in
which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the
realm of the dead.
Despite
being one of the most ancient and "one of the most frequently depicted
and mentioned gods" in the Egyptian pantheon,
however, Anubis played almost no role in Egyptian myths.
Anubis
was depicted in black, a color that symbolized both rebirth and the
discoloration of the corpse after embalming. Anubis is associated with
Wepwawet (also called Upuaut), another Egyptian god portrayed with a
dog's head or in canine form, but with grey or white fur. Historians
assume that the two figures were eventually combined.
Anubis' female counterpart is Anput. His daughter is the serpent
goddess Kebechet."
Protector
of tombs
"In
contrast to real jackals, Anubis was a protector of graves and
cemetaries.
Several epithets
attached to his name in Egyptian texts and inscriptians referred to
that role. Khenty-imentiu,
which means "foremost of the
westerners" and later became the name of a different jackal god,
alluded to
his protecting function because the dead were usually buried on the
west bank of the Nile. He took other names in connection with his
funerary role, such as "He who is upon his mountain" (tepy-dju-ef)
– keeping guard over tombs from above – and "Lord
of the
sacred land" (neb-ta-djeser),
which designates him as a god of
the desert necropolis.
Most ancient tombs had
prayers to Anubis carved on them".
Embalmer
"As
"He
who is in the place of embalming" (imy-ut),
Anubis was
associated with mummification.
He was also called "He who presides over the god's pavilion" (khanty-she-netjer),
in which "pavilion" could be refer either to the place where embalming
was carried out, or the pharaoh's burial chamber".
These are images of the deity of Anibus
Notice this last image
This was found in Tutankhamun's tomb. By the way, this kind of dog is
called the Pharaoh Greyhound, and they do have big ears like the
statute portrays. Based in verse seven of this week's Torah portion's
chapter,
I would not be surprised that when hwhy
said the dogs will not point their tongue, the dogs
would be
imitating the statue of this Egyptian deity dog shown above.
Looking at verse eight of this week's Torah portion chapter, according to hwhy,
those servants have now become Moses' servants, because back in the
Torah portion of Va-Eyra, in the book of Exodus, in chapter
seven, hwhy
made Moses an elohim over Pharaoh and Pharaoh's servants. This now means
that Pharaoh has become "Moses' servant".
CHAPTER
12
Exodus
12:1-51
Exo
12:1 And hwhy spoke to
Moses and Aaron
in the land of Egypt, to say, 2 This
renewed month shall be to you
the head of renewed months: he shall be to you the
first for the renewed months of the Year.
3 Speak to all of the Congregation
of
Israel, to say, On the ten of this renewed month, and they
shall take a
man for
themselves a lamb for a house of their father, a lamb for the
house: 4 And if the household shall be little with being with the
lamb,
and he and his tabernacler (inhabitor) that is near [(, the one near)]
to his
house shall take on
the
enumeration (number, assessment) of the souls; You shall count (assess)
upon the
lamb a man by the
mouth of
his eating. 5 A lamb shall be a perfect (complete) remembered one
(male) of a son of a year: shall
be for
yourselves from the
sheep, and you shall take from the kids (young goats):
6 And shall be for you
to guard (keep, observe, heed) until the four ten (fourteen) day of
(for) this
renewed month: and all of the Assembly of the Congregation
of Israel,
they
shall slaughter
him
between the mixing periods. 7 And they shall take from
the blood and they shall give him upon the two side
posts, and upon the
upper door post (lentil) upon
the houses
which they shall eat him in them. 8 And they shall eat ta-the flesh in
this
night roasted of fire; and they shall eat leavening upon
bitters (bitter foods, bitter herbs). 9 You shall not eat from him raw
(tough), and sodden (boiling) from boiling in
water, for but roasted of fire; his head shall be upon (over) his shoulder legs and
upon (over) his nearness
(inwards). 10 And you shall not have yether-remain (have a
remnant) from him
until
breaking period (morning); and of that yether-remaining (remnant, rest)
from
him until
breaking period
(morning) you shall
burn up in the fire. 11 And according to [(as)] thus, you shall
eat him with your
loins (waist)
girded, your sandals
on your feet, and your shoots (sticks,
germinated sticks)
in your hand; And
you
shall eat him in haste (hasty flight): He is the Passover to hwhy.
12 And I
will go over in the land of Egypt in this night, and will strike every
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from Adam and unto animal;
and I will
do (make, execute) judgments (ordinances) on all of
the
elohim of Egypt: I am hwhy.
13 And the
blood shall be to (for) you
for a Sign upon the houses which you are there:
And I will see ta-the blood, I
will pass by, over (upon)
you, and the plague
shall not be on you
to be destroyed in My
striking
in the land of Egypt. 14 And this
day shall be to you
for a Memorial (Remembrance); and you shall celebrate (make festive of)
him of a Feast
to hwhy for
your generations;
you shall celebrate (make festive of) him of a Statute of Ages.
15 Seven
days shall you shall eat unleavening; Surely, on
the first day you shall desist (cease, rid) sourdough from your houses: for anyone
eating leavened from the first day unto the seventh
day, and that
soul shall be cut off her from Israel. 16 And on
the
first
day shall be a Sacred (Holy) Calling (Convocation), and on the seventh
day shall
be a Sacred (Holy) Calling (Convocation) to yourselves;
Any work shall not be done in
them, surely which shall be eaten by every soul, he by his
apartness shall be done to you
[(by his aloneness, he shall be done to you)].
17 And you will guard
(keep, observe, heed)
the Feast of ta-the Unleavened Bread; for on
this same day, I have brought out ta-your armies from the land
of Egypt: and you
will guard (keep, observe, heed)
ta-this day for
your generations for a
Statute of Ages.
18 In the first, on the four ten (fourteen) day of the
renewed month, in the mixing period (evening), you shall eat
unleavened,
until the one
and
twenty day of the renewed month in the mixing period (evening). 19
Sourdough shall not be found in your
houses seven
days: for anyone eating
from the
leavened, and that soul
shall be cut off her from the
Congregation
of
Israel, among the sojourner (stranger), and among the native of the
land.
20 You
shall not eat any leavened; you shall
eat unleavened in all of your dwellings.
21 And Moses called for all of the Elders of Israel, and
said to them, Draw out and take [(They shall draw out, and they
shall take)] for yourselves
of the flock for your
families, and slaughter the Passover. 22 And you shall take a bundle
(bunch) of
hyssop, and you shall
dip in the
blood which is in the bason (bowl), and you shall smite
(antiplague, plague) to the
upper door post (lintel) and to
the two
side
posts from the blood which is in the bason; and you, a man of you
shall not go
out from the entrance of his house until breaking period (morning). 23
And hwhy will go over to plague
(gore, stumble) ta-Egypt;
and shall see ta-the blood
upon the upper door post (lintel)
and upon the two side
posts, and hwhy will pass by over (upon) the
entrance,
and
will not give the destroyer to
come to your
houses to plague (gore, stumble). 24 And you
shall guard (keep, observe, heed)
ta-this Word
for a Statute to yourself and to your sons unto ages.
25 And shall be,
when
you come to the land
which hwhy will give
to you as the which
was spoken, and you
shall guard (keep, observe, heed)
ta-this
Service. 26 And
shall be, when your
sons, they shall say to
you, What is this
service to you? 27
And you shall say, He
is the Sacrifice of the
Passover to hwhy which passed by over (upon)
the
houses
of the Sons of Israel in Egypt, in His plaguing (goreing, stumbling)
ta-Egypt, and delivered
(rescued) ta-our houses. And the
People bowed, and they worshipped. 28 And the Sons of
Israel, they
went, and they did as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses and
Aaron, so they did.
29 And was, in the middle (halfway) of the night, and hwhy struck every firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh
that sat upon his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive which was
in
the house of the bore-prison; and every firstborn of animals.
30 And Pharaoh arose at
night, he, and all his
servants, and all of Egypt; and she was a great cry in Egypt;
for was not a house which a dead one (a death) was not there. 31 And
called for
Moses and for Aaron at night, and said, Arise! and go out from the
midst of my people, also you, also the Sons
of Israel; And go, serve ta-hwhy according to [(as)] your word! 32
Take also your
flocks, also your
herds as the which you
spoke,
and go; And you bless
me also!
33 And Egypt, she was strong
upon the people to hasten to send them away from the land; for they
said, All of us will be
dead ones. 34 And the people lifted (bore, carried) ta-his dough before (not yet)
becoming
leavened,
their kneading troughs were bound in their clothes upon their
shoulders. 35 And the Sons of Israel, they did according to [(as)] the
word of
Moses; and they asked from Egypt vessels of silver, and
vessels
of gold, and clothing: 36 And hwhy gave the People ta-grace (favor) in
the eyes of ta-Egypt,
and was asked of them, and they plundered ta-Egypt.
37 And the Sons of Israel, they journeyed (pulled up)
from Rameses to
Succoth according to [(as)] six hundred thousand mighty men of foot, by apart from
the little ones. 38 And also a
mixed multitude ascended with them; and
flocks, and herds, much heavy livestock.
39 And they baked ta-the dough
which they
brought out from Egypt of unleavened round cakes, for was not leavened;
For they were driven out from Egypt, and and they were not able to
delay (tarry, linger) her, and also they did not do (make, prepare)
for
themselves provision (victuals, game food).
40 And the dwelling of the Sons of Israel,
which they dwelled
in Egypt was thirty years and four hundred years. 41 And was from the
end of thirty years and four hundred years, and was in this same day,
all of the armies
of hwhy, they went out from the land
of
Egypt. 42 He was a Night of Observation (Keeping, Guarding, Watching)
to hwhy for
bringing them out from the land of Egypt: he is this night to hwhy an Observance (Keeping,
Guarding, Heeding) for all of the
Sons of Israel for their generations.
43 And hwhy said to
Moses and Aaron,
This is the Statute of the Passover: Every son of a foreigner shall not
eat on him:
44 And every servant of a man purchased (bought) of silver, and you
shall
circumcise him, then shall eat on him. 45 A dweller (foreign
dweller) and a hired
servant shall not eat on him.
46 Shall be eaten in one house; you shall not go out from the flesh
from the house to
the outside; and you shall not shever-break a bone on him. 47
All
of the Congregation
of Israel, they shall do (make, prepare)
him.
48 And when a sojourns (stranger) shall sojourn with you,
and shall do the
Passover
to hwhy, every remembered one (male)
to him shall be
circumcised, and
then shall come near to do (make, prepare) him; and shall be like the
native
of
the land: and anyone uncircumcised shall not eat on him.
49 One
Teaching (Torah) shall be to the native and to the
sojourner (stranger) that sojourns in your
midst. 50 And all of the Sons
of
Israel, they did as the which hwhy
commanded ta-Moses and ta-Aaron, so
they did.
51 And was on this same day that hwhy brought out ta-the Sons of
Israel from the
land of Egypt, upon their armies.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have
comments)
Verses one and two
1 And hwhy spoke to
Moses and Aaron
in the land of Egypt, to say, 2 This
renewed month shall be to you
the head of renewed months: he shall be to you the
first for the renewed months of the Year.
This month is called "Aviv". I will explain it later in the next
chapter of this week's Torah portion.
It
has been well publicized that Rosh Hashanah,
Biblically called Yom Teruah, is in the seventh Biblical month of
Ethanim/Tishri, and this is the
start of the new Biblical year. I have found concrete scriptures that
contradicts this premise. Starting with the account of Aaron, the High
Priest, Moses' brother, who was about to die, which is noted in the
Torah
portion of Khukath, in the book of Numbers
Numbers 20:22 And pulled up
(journeyed) from Kadesh.
And the Sons of Israel, of all of the
Congregation,
they came at the Hor of the Mount [(Mount of the Hor,
Mount Hor)]. 23
And hwhy spoke to
Moses and
to
Aaron on the Hor of the Mount
[(Mount of the Hor, Mount Hor)], upon the border of the land
of Edom, to say,
24 Aaron
shall be gathered to his People: for shall not go to the land
which I have given to the Sons of Israel, upon which you
rebelled at ta-My Mouth by
the waters of
Meribah. 25 Take ta-Aaron, and ta-Eleazar,
his son, and have them ascend at the Hor of the Mount
[(Mount of the Hor, Mount Hor)]: 26 And shall strip ta-Aaron of ta-his Garments, and you shall
have ta-Eleazar, his
son, clothe them: and Aaron
shall be
gathered and shall die there. 27 And Moses did as the which hwhy commanded:
and they acended
to the Hor of the Mount [(Mount
of the Hor, Mount Hor)] to the eyes of all of the
Congregation.
28 And Moses stripped ta-Aaron of ta-his Garments, and had ta-Eleazar, his
son clothed
them; and
Aaron died there in the head of the mountain (the Hor): and Moses and
Eleazar
descended (came
down) from the mountain (the Hor). 29 And all of the
Congregation,
they saw for
Aaron had expired. And they mourned ta-Aaron thirty days, all of the
House of Israel.
There is a specific account
showing the date of Aaron's death on
Mount Hor, which is noted in the Torah portion of Masei, in the book of
Numbers
Numbers 33:37 and they pulled up (journeyed) from
Kadesh, and they encamped in Hor of the Mount [(Mount
of the Hor, Mount Hor)], on the edge of the land
of Edom,
38 and Aaron, the Priest, ascended to Hor of the Mount [(Mount
of the Hor, Mount Hor)] upon the Mouth
of hwhy, and was the death [(and
died)]
there in the
fortieth year
of the outgoing
of the Sons of
Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fifth renewed month, on the one
of the
renewed month, 39 and Aaron was a son of three and twenty and a
hundred
years in his death on Hor of the Mount [(Mount
of the Hor, Mount Hor)],
This shows that Aaron died
in the fortieth year in the fifth
month on the first day of the month. Keep that in mind. I wan't to show
the order of the Israelites journeys in the wilderness in this same
chapter starting with Mount Hor
Numbers 33:37 and they pulled up (journeyed) from
Kadesh, and they encamped in Hor of the Mount [(Mount
of the Hor, Mount Hor)], on the edge of the land
of Edom,
38 and Aaron, the Priest, ascended to Hor of the Mount [(Mount
of the Hor, Mount Hor)] upon the Mouth
of hwhy, and was the death [(and
died)]
there in the
fortieth year
of the outgoing
of the Sons of
Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fifth renewed month, on the one
of the
renewed month, 39 and Aaron was a son of three and twenty and a
hundred
years in his death on Hor of the Mount [(Mount
of the Hor, Mount Hor)],
40 and
King Arad, the Canaanite, heard, and he dwelled in the negeb (south) in
the
land of Canaan, on the
coming of
the Sons of Israel,
41 and they pulled up (journeyed) from Hor of the Mount (Mount
of the Hor, Mount Hor), and
they encamped in Zalmonah,
42 and they pulled up (journeyed) from Zalmonah, and
they encamped in Punon,
43 and they pulled up (journeyed) from Punon, and they encamped in
Oboth,
44 and they pulled up (journeyed) from Oboth, and they encamped in Ije
HaAbarim [(Ije
of the Abarim, Eye of the Going Overs)],
in the border of Moab,
45 and they pulled up (journeyed) from Iim, and they encamped
in
Dibon Gad,
46 and they pulled up (journeyed) from Dibon Gad, and they encamped
in
Almon Diblathaim,
47 and they pulled up (journeyed) from Almon Diblathaim, and
they encamped in Mountains of the Abarim,
to the face of Nebo,
48 and they pulled up
(journeyed) from Mountains of the Abarim,
and they encamped in the plains (going overs)
of
Moab upon
Jordan at Jericho [Jordan-Jericho)],
49 and they encamped upon the Jordan, from
Beth HaJesimoth [(House of
the Jesimoth)] unto Abel haShittim [(Abel of
the Shittim, Abel of the
Acacias, Meadow of the Shittim, Meadow of the Acacias)] in the plains
(going overs) of
Moab.
As it is shown, Aaron died ten pitchings before Moses, and the
Israelites arrived at the plains of Moab beside the Jordan. Jordan
was the Israelite's last stop where Moses was to die before they were
to cross over the Jordan.
If
one looks at the
last two chapters of the book of Numbers, they show that Moses and the
Israelites were still at the Jordan at the plains of Moab.
This next source is the crucial scripture that would provide the
connection of my premise, which is located in the Torah portion of
D'varim, in the book of Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy
1:1 These are the
words which Moses spoke to all of Israel in the going over the
Jordan in
the
wilderness, in the in the going over [(on the plain)] opposite (at the
front of, cutting
short of, circumcising) Suph (Reeds), between Paran, and
between Tophel, and Laban, and the Hazeroth, and Di Zahab, 2 one ten
(oneteen, eleven)
days from Horeb at the way of Mount Seir unto Kadesh Barnea.
3 And was in the fortieth year, in the tenth ten (tenthteen,
eleven) renewed month, on
the one
of the renewed month, Moses spoke to the Sons of
Israel according to [(as)] all which hwhy commanded
him to them;
Moses spoke this beyond the
Jordan on the fortieth year in the
eleventh month of Shevat, on the first day of the month, six months later,
after
Aaron died on Mount Hor. If Rosh Hashanah was the Biblical New Year, it
would have
started the new year in the seventh month of Ethanim/Tishri, four months before this
account in Deuteronomy, and would have made it the forty-first year
instead of still being
the fortieth year. If this was the case, it would have broken the Word
of hwhy,
because they were to be in the wilderness no later than forty years,
as hwhy
said to Moses, which is noted in the Torah portion of Sh'lakh L'kha, in
the book of
Numbers
Numbers 14:28 28 Say to
them,
I
live, states hwhy, if not as
the which you have
spoken in My Ears, so I will do to you: 29 In this wilderness
shall
your
faint bodies (exhausted bodies, dead bodies, corpses) and all of your
visited (accounted, counted) ones shall fall; by all of your scrolls (enrollments, numbers), from a son
of twenty years
and the upward (ascending), which you
have murmured (grudged, complained) upon (over) Me, 30 If you,
you shall
come to the land, which I have bore (carried, lifted up) ta-My Hand to
have you tabernacle
in
her, for but Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and
Joshua, son of Nun.
31 And your little
ones (infants),
which you
said shall be for the plunder (booty), and I shall bring
them, and they shall know ta-the land
which have rejected (despised) against her. 32 And of you, your faint bodies (exhausted
bodies, dead bodies,
corpses), they shall
fall in
this wilderness. 33 And your
sons, they shall be shepherds in the
wilderness
forty years, and they shall bear (carry, lift up) ta-your
whoredoms (harlotries) until your faint bodies (exhausted
bodies, dead bodies,
corpses) shall be completed in
the wilderness. 34 On the
enrollment (scroll, number) of the days which
you
searched out (toured)
ta-the land,
forty days, a day
for the year, a day for the year, you shall bear (carry, lift up) ta-your
iniquities forty years, and you
shall know ta-My Alienation.
35 I am hwhy, I have
spoken. If not this shall I do to all of this evil Congregation
that
was appointed upon (over) Me: in
this wilderness they shall be completed, and there they shall
die.
Forty complete years. No more, no less, and it will be explained
more
below.
Looking at the scripture regarding Moses' death, which is noted in the
Torah portion of
V'Zoth Ha-B'rakhah, in the book of Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 34:5 And Moses,
the servant
of hwhy, died there
[(And was the death of Moses, the servant of hwhy there)] in the land of
Moab upon the Mouth of hwhy,
6 and buried him in a
narrow area (gorge, narrow lofty area, ?back?, ?back area?, ?majestic
area?) in the land of Moab opposite (at the front of) Beth
Peor: and a man does not know ta-his burial
place unto this
day. 7 And
Moses was a son of a hundred and twenty years in
his
death: his eye had not faint (weak, dulled, dimmed), and the freshness (force, ?vigor?) had not fled.
8 And the Sons of Israel wailed (wept) of ta-Moses in the going overs (plains) of Moab
thirty days: and the days of weeping (wailing) of the lamenting
(mourning) of Moses had completed.
9 And Joshua, son of Nun, was full of the Spirit of Wisdom; for Moses
had supported (laid) ta-his hands
upon him: and the
Sons of Israel, they listened to him, and they did as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses.
It
is strongly probable that Moses died on the twelfth month of Adar, on
the
seventh day of the month. This was mentioned in one of my Torah
portion commentary of Sh'moth, in the book of Exodus.
Next, Joshua was about to cross over the Jordan, which is noted in the
book of
Joshua
Joshua 1:1 Now
after the death
of Moses, the servant of hwhy, it came to
pass, that hwhy
spake unto Joshua, son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses, My
servant, is dead; now therefore arise, go over ta-this Jordan,
thou, and
all this People, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the
Sons of Israel.... 10 Then Joshua commanded ta-the Officers
of the People,
saying, 11 Pass through the Host, and command ta-the People,
saying,
Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over ta-this
Jordan, to go in to possess ta-the land,
which hwhy, your Elohim,
giveth you to
possess it.
This account gives
the date that Joshua and the Israelites
crossed over the Jordan, which is noted in the book of Joshua
Joshua
4:19 And the People
came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped
in Gilgal, in the East border of Jericho.
It was in the first month of Aviv/Nissan, on the tenth day of the
month, that the
Israelites
crossed over the Jordan. That means that the date of Joshua in the book
of Joshua, in chapter
one, three days prior, would have occurred on the first month of
Aviv/Nissan on the seventh day of
the month. That was the day that hwhy
talked to Joshua after the thirty days of mourning after Moses' death.
This would take the time line back to the twelfth month of Adar on the
seventh day, the date that Moses died.
The date that Joshua and the Israelites crossed over the
Jordan,
on the tenth day of the first month of Aviv/Nissan, was two months and
seven days
after Deuteronomy 1:1-3 where Moses was beyond the Jordan.
Say that the Rosh Hashanah started the new year on the seventh Biblical
month of Ethanim/Tishri,
making it the forty-first year that Moses died, and Joshua went over
the
Jordan on the first month of Aviv/Nissan still in the forty first year.
This is a chart of the time line of events based on the traditional
Rosh Hashanah
new year
This would go
against
hwhy's
Word that they were to stay in the wilderness for only forty years.
Joshua
would have to wait another six months before they would have crossed
over the Jordan, which goes against the Scripture time lines mentioned
above. In other words, Joshua crossed over the Jordan on the forty-first year, in the
first month of Aviv/Nissan, which is the true Biblical New Year, and not six months later of the
seventh month of Ethanim/Tishri, after
the traditional new year of Rosh Hashannah started.
This is a chart of a more Biblically correct time line of these events
Based on these scriptural accounts and the scripture time lines, Rosh
Hashanah is not
Biblical, and it does not
start the Biblical New Year in the
seventh
month of Ethanim/Tishri. The true Biblical New Year starts on the first
month of
Aviv/Nissan.
hwhy works
with
most calendars, and I respect a good part of them. hwhy
works with the
Jewish civil calendar that says the new year starts on the seventh
month, but in hwhy's
calendar, the
Torahic calendar, which is an agricultural calendar, the head of the
year begins with the month of Aviv/Nissan. You can find this teaching
titled "Rosh Hashannah, the Biblical New Year?" by clicking on the link
below to get the webpage.
ROSH HASHANNAH, THE BIBLICAL NEW YEAR?
Verses three through five
3 Speak to all of the Congregation
of
Israel, to say, On the ten of this renewed month, and they
shall take a
man for
themselves a lamb for a house of their father, a lamb for the
house: 4 And if the household shall be little with being with the
lamb,
and he and his tabernacler (inhabitor) that is near [(, the one near)]
to his
house shall take on
the
enumeration (number, assessment) of the souls; You shall count (assess)
upon the
lamb a man by the
mouth of
his eating. 5 A lamb shall be a perfect (complete) remembered one
(male) of a son of a year: shall
be for
yourselves from the
sheep, and you shall take from the kids (young goats):
Based on verses one and two, it
is most
probable that hwhy
spoke these
verses to Moses on the first day of the first month of Aviv/Nissan.
When these
three verses are read, we always think that it occurred just before the
Passover on the fourteenth day, but
looking at these verses, one could see that this was spoken at an
earlier time for this
future event. In verse three of this week's Torah portion passage,
when hwhy
told Moses
"...on the tenth day...", this was a future date. hwhy
did not say,
"tomorrow, take a lamb", because that would put it on the ninth day
with not much time for the Israelites to prepare. It is my opinion
that hwhy's
conversation
with Moses could have occurred on the first day of the Biblical month
of Aviv/Nissan.
For those who are new to the Hebraic Roots/Messianic movement, or want
to understand
the Torah based on the montly lunar cycle, the Biblical fourteenth day
of any month occurs
on a
"full moon", and not on a slivered moon that The Ten
Commandments movie, with Charlton Heston playing Moses,
displayed.
Looking at the word LAMB
The Hebrew word for lamb
is "seh"- Shin, Heh
(hs). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 7716, and its definition
Probably
from H7582 through the idea of pushing out to graze; a member of a
flock, that is, a sheep or goat: - (lesser, small) cattle, ewe, lamb,
sheep.
from 7582 "shah-ah" (has), and its definition
A
primitive root; to rush; by implication to desolate: - be desolate,
(make a) rush (-ing), (lay) waste.
Looking at the root meaning of the Hebrew word, that is why Egypt
called it an abomination, which Joseph noted
in the Torah portion of Vayigash, in the book of Genesis
Genesis 46:31 And Joseph said to his
brothers and to the house of his
father, I will ascend, and I will tell (declare, report, newsify) to
Pharaoh, and I will
say to him, My
brothers and the house of my father which were in the land of
Canaan, they have
come to me; 32 And the men are shepherds of flocks, for they
are men of livestock; And they have brought to them their flocks, and
their herds, and
all which belong to them. 33 And shall be, when Pharaoh calls to you,
and says, What is your
occupation (doing, work)? 34 And you shall say,
Your
servants have been men of livestock from our youth, and until
now, also we, also our fathers: in over (order)
that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every
shepherd of flocks
is an abomination (a disgust, a
detestable, an abhorrence) of Egypt.
Moses also
reminded Pharaoh why the Israelites can't sacrifice a lamb in Egypt,
which is noted in the Torah portion of Va-Eyra, in the book of Exodus
Exodus 8:25 And Pharaoh called to Moses
and to Aaron and said, Go
sacrifice to your
Elohim in the land! 26 And Moses
said, Is
not established to do so. For our sacrificing
to hwhy, our Elohim, is an
abomination (a disgust, a detestable, an
abhorrence) of Egypt. Behold, we be
sacrificing ta-an abomination (a disgust, a detestable, an
abhorrence) of
Egypt to their eyes, will they not skullstone (stone)
us?
This is, because the name
of the
lamb animal in its root definition means "desolate".
It is also
interesting to note that the Hebrew root word "shah-ah" means
"rush". hwhy
no doubt
applied this implication for a lamb (or a kid of goats) to "rush" in
the Passover preparation, and hwhy
knew that the
lambs (or kids of goats) would cook faster than adult rams (or kids).
According to this week's Torah portion passage, the lamb (or kid) would
be brought into the
home on the tenth day and be kept in the home until the fourteenth day
of the month. This is the same time frame that Yeshua
went into Jerusalem in the tenth day of Aviv/Nissan until the
fourteenth day
of Aviv/Nissan, and became the Passover Lamb for the sacrifice.
Understood that Yeshua was crucified on the fourteenth day of
Aviv/Nissan, this is the account of the tenth day of Aviv/Nissan, which
is noted in
the Gospel of John
John 12:1 Then Yeshua six
days before the Passover [the ninth day of Aviv/Nissan] came to
Bethany, where Lazarus was which had
been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 12 On the next day
[the tenth day of Aviv/Nissan] much People that were come to the Feast,
when they heard that Yeshua was
coming to Jerusalem, 13 Took branches of palm trees, and
went
forth to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel
that cometh in the Name of hwhy. 14 And Yeshua, when He
had found a young donkey, sat thereon; as it is written, 15 Fear not,
daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an donkey's colt.
I want to note that when it says Passover in John's passage, it was
referring to the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread on the
fifteenth day of Aviv/Nissan. In the Gospels, when it says the
Preparation Day, it was reffering to the actual Biblical Passover on
the fourteenth day of Aviv/Nissan. The Jews altered the names at that
time. The Jews and most of the Messianic/Hebraic Roots brethren use the
same terminology, and the Jewish Calendars today have placed Passover
on the fifteenth day of Aviv/Nissan.
Verse six
6 And shall be for you
to guard (keep, observe, heed) until the four ten (fourteen) day of
(for) this
renewed month: and all of the Assembly of the Congregation
of Israel,
they
shall slaughter
him
between the mixing periods.
This is how the King James Version translated this verse
Exodus 12:6 (KJV) And ye shall
keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole
assembly of the Congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
Looking at the Hebrew text, it says "Beyn Ha-aravim" (Mybreh Nyb). We will look
at these two Hebrew words
Looking at the following words:
BETWEEN
The Hebrew word for between is
"beyn"- Bet, Yod, Nun Sophit (Nyb). It is from Strong's Concordance
number 996, and its definition
(Sometimes
in the plural masculine or feminine); properly the constructively
contracted form of an otherwise unused noun from H995; a distinction;
but used only as a preposition, between (repeated before each noun,
often with other particles); also as a conjugation, either... or: -
among, asunder, at, between (-twixt . . . and), + from (the widest), X
in, out of, whether (it be... or), within.
Beyn is translated as "between". This makes sense, because this is the
most common translation, as we will see.
MIXING PERIODS
The Hebrew word for mixing
periods is
"eh-rehv"- Ayin, Resh, Bet (bre). Its is from
Strong's Concordance number 6153, and its defintion
From
H6150; dusk: - + day, even (-ing, tide), night.
from 6150 "arav" (bre), and its
definition
A
primitive root (rather identical with H6148 through the idea of
covering with a texture); to grow dusky at sundown: - be darkened,
(toward) evening.
from 6148 "ah-rahv" (bre), and its definition
A
primitive root; to braid, that is, intermix; technically to traffic (as
if by barter); also to give or be security (as a kind of exchange): -
engage, (inter-) meddle (with), mingle (self), mortgage, occupy, give
pledges, be (-come, put in) surety, undertake.
Erev is translated as "evening" or "mixing". I will explain this later
in this chapter.
Verse seven
7 And they shall take
from
the blood and they shall give him upon the two side
posts, and upon the
upper door post (lentil) upon
the houses
which they shall eat him in them.
Bill Cloud of Shoreshim
Ministries noted that the upper door post
and the two doorposts, the areas in which blood is striken, form the
letter khet (x),
and one of
the meanings of this letter in the Paleo-Hebrew is "separation". In
this case, the blood forming the letter Khet creates a "separation"
between
those who are submitted to hwhy
by partaking in
the Passover in painting the blood on the "Khet", or "separated",
entrance than those who don't.
Also, there are those who say that the blood was not struck outside on
the lintel and door posts, but hidden, but hwhy
could still see
it as He passed over. I do not agree with this premise, because if hwhy
wanted it
hidden, He would have said it. If it was hidden, hwhy wouldn't be
able to see
it from the outside and would have treated it as if they were not
covered with the blood at all. The blood was clearly visible outside
for people to see from street view, as it is noted in verse twenty
three of this week's Torah portion chapter
Exodus 12:23 And hwhy will go over to plague
(gore, stumble) ta-Egypt;
and shall see ta-the blood
upon the upper door post (lintel)
and upon the two side
posts, and hwhy will pass by over (upon) the
entrance,
and
will not give the destroyer to
come to your
houses to plague (gore, stumble).
hwhy's destroyer
wasn't going to take time to look inside the crevice of each of the
three sides of everyone's entrance to see if the blood can be seen, or
knock on the door and say, "Destroyer here. Can you shed some light in
your entrance crevices so that I can get a good look to see if blood is
on each of the three places of your door frame?". The destroyer would
have plainly seen the blood on the outside just like any human being
would be able to naturally see it as one is walking by anyone's
entrance at a home. It wasn't "hidden" as some that say it was.
Verse eight
8 And they shall
eat ta-the flesh in
this
night roasted of fire; and they shall eat leavening upon
bitters (bitter foods, bitter herbs).
The Aleph-Tav is located with the phrase "the flesh". This is
saying that it is symbolic of Yeshua's Flesh- "the
Passover Lamb".
Also in verse eight of this week's Torah portion passage, it states
three items to eat on Passover
night:
One: The flesh
Two: The unleavened bread
Three: The bitter herbs
Yeshua
is symbolized as the unleavened
bread. Yeshua said in the night of the
Passover, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew
26:26 And as
[the disciples] were eating, Yeshua took bread, and blessed it, and
brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is My Body.
Believe it or not, Yeshua's
disciples partook of the Passover Meal. When the
Israelites partook of
these three items for the Exodus Passover, they were eating these
symbols:
The Flesh: The partaking
of Yeshua, the Passover Lamb
The Unleavened Bread: Yeshua's Body which has "no sin"
Bitter
Herbs: The bitterness
that Yeshua suffered when He was crucified; also the bitterness that
the Israelites suffered when they were slaves to Pharaoh
Looking at the word BITTERS
The Hebrew
word for bitter is "m'rohr"- Mem, Resh, Resh (rrm
(or rwrm)).
It is from Strong's Concordance number 4844, and its definition
From
H4843; a bitter herb: - bitter (-ness).
from 4843 "mah-rahr" (rrm), and its
definition
A
primitive root; properly to trickle (see H4752); but used only as a
denominative from H4751; to be (causatively make) bitter (literally or
figuratively): - (be, be in, deal, have, make) bitter (-ly, -ness), be
moved with choler, (be, have sorely, it) grieved (-eth), provoke, vex.
from 4752 "mahr" (rm), and its
definition
From
H4843 in its original sense of distillation; a drop: - drop.
from 4751 "mar" or "marah" (rm or hrm), and its definition
From
H4843; bitter (literally or figuratively); also (as noun) bitterness,
or (adverbially) bitterly: - + angry, bitter (-ly, -ness),
chafed, discontented, X great, heavy.
This
is where we get our modern
English word "mar"- an act of "affliction".
On Passover in today's time,
the
Jewish people traditionally do a Passover Seder, which contains various
items on a seder plate, including an egg, which most likely derived
from pagan Babylonian roots. It goes beyond the three items required
for the
Passover meal, but the lamb that is part of the Jewish Seder is nothing
but "a
dry
shank bone", and is inedible to eat. To me, it goes against scripture,
and I do not participate in the Seder. I will not stop from those who
do it, but to me, it is adding to what hwhy
said, which is noted in the Torah portion of Va-Ethkhanan, in the book
of Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 4:1 And
now, Israel, listen to the Statutes and to the Judgments
(Ordinances) which I
am having
you learn to do them,
by
that, you may live, and you
will enter, and you
will
possess (occupy) ta-the land
which hwhy, the Elohim
of your fathers,
is giving to you. 2
You shall
not add upon the Word which I am
commanding you, and
you shall not diminish (remove, scrape off, shave off) from him,
to
keep ta-the Commandments
of hwhy, your Elohim,
which I am commanding
you.
It is theory that whoever were the Jewish Rabbis centuries ago who
"added" the elements, especially the "egg", which was not related to
the Exodus Passover, could have done this as an act to distract,
camoflouge and hide the basic three items that would portray Yeshua,
the Messiah. On top of that, they use a bone of the lamb instead of
having lamb meat on a Seder Plate as a means of hindering the partaking
of eating lamb meat, which would be an act of symbolically eating
"Yeshua's
Flesh". As I mentioned, I do not
participate in this Jewish Seder. I just keep it
simple
and eat only the
three items that hwhy commanded.
Whatever anyone does is up to the indivual, or family.
Also, these three items of the Exodus Passover Meal were eaten was
a Food
Covenant. For example, Jacob ate a
feast for sealing the deal for his first wife, which he found out later
was Leah, and when Jacob ate the Food Covenant, it cannot be broken.
The same with Jacob and
Esau's Food Covenant with the red soup in agreement for Esau to give
his firstborn right to Jacob. Yeshua also made a Food Covenant
with His disciples by partaking the bread and cup- the symbols of His
Body and His Blood. On the negative end of Yeshua's meal, Judas took a
Food Covenant, but in the negative end, by having the bread dipped
in
the wine, and that was known as "the Food Covenant of Betrayal". When
Judas took it, HaSatan entered into Judas to betray
Yeshua, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 13:21 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....
This is what it says regarding Yeshua's Supper, which is noted in the
apostle Paul's letter to the assembly in Corinth
1 Corinthians 11:20 When
ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the hwhy's Supper. 21 For in
eating every one taketh before other His own supper: and one is hungry,
and another is drunken. 22 What? have ye not houses to eat and to
drink in? Or despise ye the Assembly of the Lord, and shame them that have
not? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you
not. 23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered
unto you, That the Lord Yeshua the same night in which He was betrayed
took bread: 24 And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and
said, Take, eat: this is My Body, which is broken for you: this do in
remembrance of Me. 25 After the same manner also He took the cup,
when He had supped, saying, This cup is the New Covenant in My Blood:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. 26 For as
often as ye eat this Bread, and drink this Cup, ye do shew the Lord's
Death till He come. 27 Wherefore
whosoever shall eat this Bread, and drink this Cup of the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord.
This is what
Judas did, though it was not considered as the Body and Blood of
Yeshua, and the result was HaSatan entered into him.
Verse nine
9 You shall not eat from him
raw
(tough), and sodden (boiling) from boiling in
water, for but roasted of fire; his head shall be upon (over) his shoulder legs and
upon (over) his nearness
(inwards).
9 You shall not eat from him
raw
(tough),...
Looking at the word RAW (TOUGH)
The Hebrew word for raw
(tough) is
"nah"- Nun, Aleph (an).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 4995, and its definition
Apparently
from H5106 in the sense of harshness from refusal; properly tough, that
is, uncooked (flesh): - raw.
from 5106 "noo" (awn), and its definition
A
primitive root; to refuse, forbid, dissuade, or neutralize: - break,
disallow, discourage, make of none effect.
In other words, hwhy
was telling the
Israelites not to make "lamb jerky" out of it. "Nah" is also where we
get our modern English word "gnaw"- an act of "hard chewing".
Verse nine
9 ...and sodden (boiling) from boiling in
water,...
Neither it was not to be boiled,
Looking at the word SODDEN
(BOILING)
The Hebrew word for sodden
(boiling) is
"bah-shahl"- Bet, Shin, Lamed (lsb). In the
Hebrew text, it is "m'voo-shahl" with a Mem (lsbm).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 1310, and its definition
A
primitive root; properly to boil up; hence to be done in cooking;
figuratively to ripen: - bake, boil, bring forth, is ripe, roast,
seethe, sod (be sodden).
I have yet to figure out why it is and what it represents.
Verse nine
9 ...for but roasted of fire; his
head shall be upon (over) his shoulder legs and
upon (over) his nearness
(inwards).
It was to be roasted. Why was it roasted with the
fire?
On the Thinking Jewish
website, there is article titled "Why Roasted Lamb
On Pesach Night?",
and this is what part of it says:
"According
to the Maharal of
Prague, while boiling is a process that assimilates, roasting
separates. When we boil food, we draw several other ingredients in.
These ingredients assimilate with the food that then absorbs and adapts
the components. The host food softens and disintegrates. Roasting, in
contrast, expels: Not only does it remove all the blood present, but it
also separates all ingredients not essential to the meat...."
In other words, boiling with water "assimilates" with the lamb while
roasting
separates. I will also add that roasting also purifies it. This is an
act that hwhy
was doing
throughout the plagues process by "separating" the Israelites from the
Egyptians who are not on hwhy's Side.
If that is so, then what does making a jerky out of a lamb do? In
general, the process of making one would require salt and maybe spices
to dry the lamb and preserve it. In other words, it would also be an
act of "adding" items to the lamb. This is a symbolic application to
what Moses noted in the Torah portion of D'varim, in the book of
Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 4:1 And
now, Israel, listen to the Statutes and to the Judgments
(Ordinances) which I
am having
you learn to do them,
by
that, you may live, and you
will enter, and you
will
possess (occupy) ta-the land
which hwhy, the Elohim
of your fathers,
is giving to you. 2
You shall
not add upon the Word which I am
commanding you, and
you shall not diminish (remove, scrape off, shave off) from him,
to
keep ta-the Commandments
of hwhy, your Elohim,
which I am commanding
you.
Also, the "jerky" process would keep the
impurities that are in the lamb, whereas roasting removes them and
purifies the lamb as noted above.
Notice that the head is to be
above the legs and above the inwards. That means the head, the legs and
the inwards were separated from the main part of the body. It is
possible that either the body was either lain on the side or upside
down to hold the other parts above and roasted on the fire, or the
parts were burned apart from the main body of the lamb. If the parts
were burned above the body of the lamb, this
might have been either practiced at the time, or it was a precursor to
the various animal sacrifices on the Altar in the Tent of Appointment
which the Levitical Priests rehearsed later in time, as early as when
the Israelites were journeying in the
wilderness.
Looking at the word SHOULDER LEG
The Hebrew word for shoulder
leg is
"kah-rah"- Kaph, Resh, Ayin (erk).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 3767, and its definition
From
H3766; the leg (from the knee to the ankle) of men or locusts (only in
the dual): - leg.
from 3766 "kah-rah" (erk), and its definition
A
primitive root; to bend the knee; by implication to sink, to prostrate:
- bow (down, self), bring down (low), cast down, couch, fall, feeble,
kneeling, sink, smite (stoop) down, subdue, X very.
This leg is the front leg which "bends its knees" as if to bow and
worship. This is a symbolism of an act for the Israelites to bow and
worship to hwhy, and it applies
to us following believers in Yeshua that we are to sacrifice ourselves
to bow and worship Yeshua, the Messiah.

Verse ten
10 And you shall not
have yether-remain (have a
remnant) from him
until
breaking period (morning); and of that yether-remaining (remnant, rest)
from
him until
breaking period
(morning) you shall
burn up in the fire.
The eating is to last for the night time only, and not when the sky is
dawning.
Looking at the word BREAKING
PERIOD (MORNING)
The Hebrew word for breaking
period (morning) is
"boh-kehr"- Bet, Kuph, Resh (rqb). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 1242, and its definition
From
H1239; properly dawn (as the break of day); generally morning: -
(+) day, early, morning, morrow.
from 1239 "bah-kahr" (rqb), and its
definition
A primitive root; properly to
plough, or (generally) break forth, that is, (figuratively) to inspect,
admire, care for, consider: - (make) inquire (-ry), (make) search, seek
out.
In other words,
in an agricultural sense, this is the timeline of the day where one is
to get to start the "plowing" of the fields for the day.
Time line wise, this is compared to the six days of creation when six
times of the six days, which is noted in the Torah portion of
B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis
Genesis 1:5 And Elohim called to the
light, Day, and
called to
the
darkness, Night. And became mixing period (evening) (bre) and became
breaking period (morning) (rqb): One day.
This will also be explained with this Torah portion chapter in
relevence to verse
six later in this week's Torahp portion chapter.
Verse eleven
11 And according to
[(as)] thus, you shall
eat him with your
loins (waist)
girded, your sandals
on your feet, and your shoots (sticks,
germinated sticks)
in your hand; And
you
shall eat him in haste (hasty flight): He is the Passover to hwhy.
Here is another set of threes that hwhy noted in
this week's Torah portion passage:
One: Loins girded on them
Two: Shoes on their feet
Three: Staff in their hands
In other words, these requirements are an act for the men to stay on
the alert in their occupations as "shepherds", and to hasten to leave
at
the moment hwhy says for them
to do so.
Indirectly related, there is another instance in a future event when
the People of the land
would have to
flee in haste, which is noted in the Gosepel of Matthew
Matthew
24:15 When ye
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel,
the prophet, stand in the Holy Place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:) 16 Then let them
which be in Judaea flee into the
mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come
down
to
take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is
in
the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto
them
that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But
pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Shabbath
day: 21 For then shall be great Tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And
except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved:
but for the Elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
As this future preparation for the People to flee from the abomination
noted in the Gospel Matthew was an act to haste out of the area, so was
the
Israelites
preparing to flee from Raamses and to flee out of Egypt.
Verses twelve through
fourteen
And I
will go over in the land of Egypt in this night, and will strike every
firstborn in the land of Egypt, from Adam and unto animal;
and I will
do (make, execute) judgments (ordinances) on all of
the
elohim of Egypt: I am hwhy.
13 And the
blood shall be to (for) you
for a Sign upon the houses which you are there:
And I will see ta-the blood, I
will pass by, over (upon)
you, and the plague
shall not be on you
to be destroyed in My
striking
in the land of Egypt. 14 And this
day shall be to you
for a Memorial (Remembrance); and you shall celebrate (make festive of)
him of a Feast
to hwhy for
your generations;
you shall celebrate (make festive of) him of a Statute of Ages.
Question: "What about the animals that were outside"?
Obviously all of the animals could not fit in the home, and the only
animal that was allowed in the home was the lamb, or the kid, to be
eaten as part of the Passover meal. If the blood was on the lintel and
the two
door posts, it was most likely that the animals from those homesteads
had to be immuned from the Plague of Death, and the blood only implied
to the human beings.
Looking at the word SIGN
The Hebrew word for sign is
"ohth"- Aleph,
Vav, Tav (twa). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 226, and its definition
Probably
from H225 (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or
figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence,
etc.: - mark, miracle, (en-) sign, token.
from 225 "ooth" (twa), and its definition
A
primitive root; properly to come, that is, (impliedly) to assent: -
consent.
This is where we get our modern English word "oath".
Mark Biltz of El Shaddai
Ministries noted that the Paleo-Hebrew of
this word portrays a picture story:
Aleph: Ox, Strengh
Vav: Nail
Tav: Cross
This is what the word picture says"
"The
strength of the nail on the cross"
In the Hebrew text of this week's Torah portion passage, the Vav is
not in the text, but just the Aleph and the Tav (ta). The reason is
a double meaning. The first meaning is that it is an "oath" without the
Vav was hinting "Who" the oath is. The second meaning is the word
itself
"Aleph-Tav" Who is a
symbol of Yeshua, as is mentioned in the book of Revelation
Revelation 1:8 I am the Aleph
and the Tav, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, who Is, and who Was, and
who Is To Come, the Almighty.
Yeshua is the Aleph and Tav that was crucified by being nailed to the
cross with His Blood on the wood of the cross- the symbolic upper door
post and the two side posts.
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb
Ministries noted the simplication of this
Torah portion passage:
Blood on the upper doorpost and
the two side doorposts: Life
No blood on the upper doorpost
and the two side doorposts: Death
Though this week's Torah portion chapter doesn't say it, I wondered
what
would happen if any of them just struck one side only, or two sides
only, of any of the three sides of the frame of the entrance with the
blood. Would the destroyer allow it and pass over them? The answer
would be "no", because in my opinion, it would be treated no
differently than as if the blood wasn't on the frame at all. Then the
destroyer would have killed any of the firstborn of that household,
including any firstborn animal from that household. The blood had to be
put on all three parts of the entrance as hwhy commanded
through Moses.
Verses fifteen through seventeen
15 Seven
days shall you shall eat unleavening; Surely, on
the first day you shall desist (cease, rid) sourdough from your houses: for anyone
eating leavened from the first day unto the seventh
day, and that
soul shall be cut off her from Israel. 16 And on
the
first
day shall be a Sacred (Holy) Calling (Convocation), and on the seventh
day shall
be a Sacred (Holy) Calling (Convocation) to yourselves;
Any work shall not be done in
them, surely which shall be eaten by every soul, he by his
apartness shall be done to you
[(by his aloneness, he shall be done to you)].
17 And you will guard
(keep, observe, heed)
the Feast of ta-the Unleavened Bread; for on
this same day, I have brought out ta-your armies from the land
of Egypt: and you
will guard (keep, observe, heed)
ta-this day for
your generations for a
Statute of Ages.
Looking at the following words:
SOURDOUGH
The Hebrew word for sourdough
in Hebrew is "s'ohr"- Shin, Aleph, Resh (ras).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 7603, and its definition
From
H7604; barm or yeast cake (as swelling by fermentation): - leaven.
from 7604 "shah-ahr" (ras), and its definition
A
primitive root; properly to swell up, that is, be (causatively make)
redundant: - leave, (be) left, let, remain, remnant, reserve, the rest.
This word is
where we get our
modern English word "sour", where we get "sourdough". This leaven of
sourdough is a living organism, and it represents "living sin" in our
lives
that does not die. It could also be symbolic of sin developing to
become part of one's sinful nature, because it is alive and it will
keep growing. This is symbolically one of the
acts of getting rid
of the sin in our lives. An example of this is noted in the apostle
Paul's
letter to the assembly in Corinth
1 Corinthains 5:6 Your
glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven,
that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Messiah our
Passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the Feast,
not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the Unleavened Bread of sincerity and truth.
LEAVENED BREAD
The Hebrew word for leavened
bread is "khah-meyts"- Khet, Mem, Tsade Sophit (Umx).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 2557, and its definition
From
H2556; ferment, (figuratively) extortion: - leaven, leavened (bread).
from 2556 "khah-meyts" (Umx), and its definition
A
primitive root; to be pungent; that is, in taste (sour, that is,
literally fermented, or figuratively harsh), in color (dazzling): -
cruel (man), dyed, be grieved, leavened.
This is the "cooked part" of the sourdough. It symbolizes sin in our
lives that has become part of us, and this
is the other reason we need to rid of leavened bread, whatever it takes
to do it,
however hwhy leads you.
Removing the symbolic and spiritual leavened bread of sin in our lives
is an act to be done during the
Feast of Unleavened Bread, though we are to deal with it daily in our
spiritual walk with Yeshua.
Indirectly related, Yeshua used the symbolic leaven symbolically
regarding the false
doctrine doctrine of the Pharisees, which iss noted in the Gospel of
Matthew
Matthew
16:5 And when His disciples were come to the other side,
they had forgotten to take
bread. 6 Then Yeshua said unto them, Take heed and
beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. 7 And they reasoned
among
themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
8 Which
when Yeshua perceived, He said unto them, O ye of little faith, why
reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9 Do ye
not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five
thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10 Neither the
seven
loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 11 How is
it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning
bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees? 12 Then understood
they how that he bade them not
beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and
of the Sadducees.
Yeshua applied the leavening principle to the Pharisees and Sadducees'
doctrines.
Verses eighteen through twenty
18 In the first, on the four ten (fourteen) day of the
renewed month, in the mixing period (evening), you shall eat
unleavened,
until the one
and
twenty day of the renewed month in the mixing period (evening). 19
Sourdough shall not be found in your
houses seven
days: for anyone eating
from the
leavened, and that soul
shall be cut off her from the
Congregation
of
Israel, among the sojourner (stranger), and among the native of the
land.
20 You
shall not eat any leavened; you shall
eat unleavened in all of your dwellings.
Noting verse
nineteen again
Sourdough shall not be found
in your
houses seven
days:...
There are certain believers that are "hiding" their leavened products
in the garage or other places on their property, and then taking them
back into their homes after the Feast of Unleavened Bread is over. In
my opinion,
this is wrong, because the purpose the Feast of Unleavened Bread is to
completely rid of the leaven is a
symbolism of getting rid of the "sin" in
our lives and to not have it return again.
My brothers and sisters. I rarely make statements to you, the audience,
but I am zealous regarding this one. Please do not "hide" your
leavening in your home area for the seven days (or eight days if you
traditionally get rid of it before Passover) when you should be
getting rid of the leaven completely out of your homes. Buy leavened
products after Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread is passed. My
suggestion to you is to
plan a month ahead before Passover and Unleavened Bread by having
enough leavening products for the last month and not purchase any more
leavened items.
Notice
in verses fifteen through twenty that it did not say that one rids of
the leaven,
meaning the leavened bread, the cooked product, but only the sourdough
starter, meaning the
living organism, symbolic of sin growing. Why? I don't know, though the
observing Jews and for us as believers in Messiah do throw out the
leaven as well to make sure that we don't eat the leavened bread during
the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Maybe that is why hwhy
said that no "sourdough", and not "sourdough and leavened bread", and
that is why it says in Exodus 12:19 that anyone eating leavened bread
shall be cut off. Is hwhy saying that it
is ok to keep the unleavened bread in the homes and just throw out the
sourdough? That requires hwhy to explain this
to me. In other words, I don't have the answer to that at this time.
Verses
twenty-one through twenty four
21 And Moses called for all of the Elders of Israel, and
said to them, Draw out and take [(They shall draw out, and they
shall take)] for yourselves
of the flock for your
families, and slaughter the Passover. 22 And you shall take a bundle
(bunch) of
hyssop, and you shall
dip in the
blood which is in the bason (bowl), and you shall smite
(antiplague, plague) to the
upper door post (lintel) and to
the two
side
posts from the blood which is in the bason; and you, a man of you
shall not go
out from the entrance of his house until breaking period (morning). 23
And hwhy will go over to plague
(gore, stumble) ta-Egypt;
and shall see ta-the blood
upon the upper door post (lintel)
and upon the two side
posts, and hwhy will pass by over (upon) the
entrance,
and
will not give the destroyer to
come to your
houses to plague (gore, stumble). 24 And you
shall guard (keep, observe, heed)
ta-this Word
for a Statute to yourself and to your sons unto ages.
Moses was now delegating the Elders of Israel to spread the word to the
Israelites
and the people of the mixed multitde who were with them, what was
spoken earlier, starting in
verse six of this week's Torah portion chapter, because Moses was not
able to do it by himself for the short
period of time they had to inform them what they needed to do before
the tenth
day of the first Biblical month of Aviv/Nissan. The difference in this
week's Torah portion passage is that this was not
mentioned between
verses six and eleven of this week's Torah portion chapter in which
they were to bundle hyssop which was to be used as
a brush to strike the blood.
Indirectly related, hyssop is symbolic to us as
believers in Messiah for cleansing, as in cleansing our souls, our
hearts and our
spirits, which king David noted in the book of the Psalms
Psalm 51:7 Purge me with
hyssop, and I shall be clean:
Another issue that was noted in this week's Torah portion passage,
which was
not originally noted earlier, is that the
destroyer will go out over the land.
Looking at the word DESTROYER
The Hebrew word for destroyer
is
"shah-khath"- Shin, Khet, Tav (txs). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 7843, and its definition
A
primitive root; to decay, that is, (causatively) ruin (literally or
figuratively): - batter, cast off, corrupt (-er, thing), destroy (-er,
-uction), lose, mar, perish, spill, spoiler, X utterly, waste (-r)
This Hebrew word is similar to "mosh-kheeth"- Mem, Shin, Khet,
Heh
(hxsm). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 4889, and its definition
From
H4886; unction (the act); by implication a consecratory gift: - (to be)
anointed (-ing), ointment.
from 4886 "mah-shakh" (xsm), and its definition
A
primitive root; to rub with oil, that is, to anoint; by implication to
consecrate; also to paint: - anoint, paint.
In a way, this Hebrew word is a play on the word "moshiakh",
except that the destroyer is used in the evil sense.
Mark Biltz of El Shaddai
Ministries noted the optional Passover date hwhy offered, which
is noted in the
Torah portion of B'ha-alothkha, in the
book of Numbers
Numbers 9:6 And were men of which they
were unclean (defiled) by a soul of
an Adam, and they were not able to do the Passover on that
day:
and
they drew near (came near) to the face of Moses and to the face of
Aaron on that
day: 7 and those men, they said to him, We are unclean (defiled)
by a
soul
of an Adam: to why are we restrained (scraped off) by failing at the
bringing near ta-a Karban
Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering)
of hwhy in His Appointed Time in the
midst of the Sons of Israel? 8 And Moses said to them, Stand,
and
I will hear what hwhy shall
command to you. 9
And hwhy
spoke to Moses, to say,
10 Speak to the Sons of Israel, to say, If a man, a man, shall
be
unclean (defiled) by a soul or on a distant way, of you or of your
generations, and shall be doing the Passover to hwhy. 11 In the
second renewed month, on
the four ten (fourteen) day, between the mixing periods
(evenings), they shall
do him; upon the
unleavened (unleavened bread) and bitters, they shall eat him.
12 They
shall not
remain of him until breaking period (morning), and they shall
not shever-break
a bone on
him: they shall do him according to [(as)] all of the Statutes of
the
Passover.
To note, this does not mean that one continues with the rest of the
annual High Holy Days one month later, but it is "a make-up date" for
this Feast only. They would have to follow the fifty day counting with
the rest of their brothers and sisters who were
observing the proper Passover date that would have
started on the
previous month.
Looking at the word SMITE
(ANTIPLAGUING, PLAGUE)
The Hebrew word for smite
(antiplaguing, plague)
is
"nah-gah"- Nun, Gimel, Ayin (egn). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 5060, and its definition
A
primitive root; properly to touch, that is, lay the hand upon (for any
purpose; euphemistically, to lie with a woman); by implication to reach
(figuratively to arrive, acquire); violently, to strike (punish,
defeat, destroy, etc.): - beat, (X be able to) bring (down), cast, come
(nigh), draw near (nigh), get up, happen, join, near, plague, reach
(up), smite, strike, touch.
This is the Hebrew word that is commonly translated as "plague" as in
the plagues of Egypt that have occurred against Egypt.
Verses twenty five through
twenty eight
25 And shall be,
when
you come to the land
which hwhy will give
to you as the which
was spoken, and you
shall guard (keep, observe, heed)
ta-this
Service. 26 And
shall be, when your
sons, they shall say to
you, What is this
service to you? 27
And you shall say, He
is the Sacrifice of the
Passover to hwhy which passed by over (upon)
the
houses
of the Sons of Israel in Egypt, in His plaguing (goreing, stumbling)
ta-Egypt, and delivered
(rescued) ta-our houses. And the
People bowed, and they worshipped. 28 And the Sons of
Israel, they
went, and they did as the which hwhy commanded ta-Moses and
Aaron, so they did.
Moses gave them a commandment for the fathers to their sons in the
future when the sons asks their fathers this question. What made Moses
think of this? Because it is to be applied to every generation
after them. Why? We were not there at the Passover, but yes we were. We
have gone through our own "Spiritual Passover Exodus", and we
rehearse this Feast every
year. hwhy-Yeshua had set
us
free from the spiritual bondage of Egypt, symbolically the world, and
we
can pass that information to our children when they ask us this
question, so they can experience their own "Spiritual Passover Exodus"
as well
the actual Passover and pass it on to their descendants.
The
disciples
also prepared the Passover, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew
26:17 Now the first
of the Unleavened Bread the
disciples came to Yeshua, saying unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we
prepare for Thee to eat the Passover?
The translators added these words
"day" and "feast of" in this verse which were not in the Greek text. If
they read this Torah chapter,
including this verse in Matthew, they would have realized that the
unleavened bread was a requirement to be eaten on the Passover- the
fourteenth day of Aviv/Nissan, and they would not have corrupted this
verse in Matthew
to make it sound like it was the seven day feast period of unleavened
bread, which
would have been on the
fifteenth day. If that was the case, Yeshua would have already been
dead and buried in the tomb at this time.

Mark
Biltz of El Shaddai
Ministries noted an interesting point that at this
time of year,
the constellation Aries "the ram", an adult male sheep, exists during
the month
of Passover, around the time of March-April.
This is an image of the constellation of Aries
Indirectly related, the apostle Peter noted if someone asks us as
believers about our testimony, which is noted in his epistle
1 Peter 3:13 And who is
he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and
be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 But sanctify
the Adon hwhy in your
hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh
you a reason of the Hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as
of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good
conversation in Messiah. 17 For it is better, if the will of
Elohim be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
Verse twenty nine
29 And was, in the middle (halfway) of the night, and hwhy struck every firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh
that sat upon his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive which was
in
the house of the bore-prison; and every firstborn of animals.
Notice it did not say that those who were the firstborn were in the pit
hole to die
earlier in the previous chapter of this week's Torah portion, but
the female servants behind the mill stone
Exodus 11:5 And every firstborn in the
land
of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that is sitting upon
his
throne unto
the firstborn of the female servant which is behind the
millstones; and every firstborn of animals.
Why were not the female
servants added in this week's current Torah portion passage, let alone,
why were not
the prisoners included in the earlier passage in the previous chapter
of this week's Torah portion?
I don't have an answer to that at this time.
Looking at the word MIDDLE
(HALFWAY)
The Hebrew word for middle
(halfway)
is "khah-tsee"- Khet, Tsade, Yod (yux). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 2677, and its definition
From
H2673; the half or middle: - half, middle, mid [-night], midst, part,
two parts.
from 2673 "khah-tsah" (hux), and its
definition
A
primitive root (compare H2686); to cut or split in two; to halve: -
divide, X live out half, reach to the midst, part
from 2686 "khah-tsats" (Uux), and its definition
A
primitive root (compare H2673); properly to chop into, pierce or sever;
hence to curtail, to distribute (into ranks); as denominative from
H2671; to shoot an arrow: - archer, X bands, cut off in the midst.
This is where we get
our modern English word "cut" like "cut in half". This shows us that
this account occurred half way in the night, and it would be probable
that it could have happened at midnight.
King David noted of this plague, which is noted in the book of the
Psalms
Psalm 105:36 He smote
also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
Now, looking back to verse six
of
this week's Torah portion chapter
Exodus 12:6 And shall be for you
to guard (keep, observe, heed) until the four ten (fourteen) day of
(for) this
renewed month: and all of the Assembly of the Congregation
of Israel,
they
shall slaughter
him
between the mixing periods.
As I noted
earlier, in the Hebrew text, it says "Beyn Ha-ah-rah-veem" (Mybreh Nyb). Ha'arvaeem
can be translated as "evenings" and "mixings", or "mixing period". I
will explain the two
translations and show why one of the translations is the better
definition.
One
way of interpreting it is "between the evenings". If this was the
interpretation, that would take the time line between sundown starting
the
fourteenth of Aviv/Nissan to sundown starting the fifteenth of
Aviv/Nissan. This is too long a time for the
Israelites
to slay a lamb, or a kid, which is "a twenty four hour period",
for
if they waited
until the daytime, it would have been too late to kill it, and the
destroyer would killed whoever was the firstborn/s in the household
during the "middle"
of the
night.
Another way to interpret this phrase is "between
the mixing period" which would have occurred between sundown starting
the
fourteenth of Aviv/Nissan and
sunrise on the fourteenth of Aviv/Nissan, or between dusk and dawn on
the same Biblical day. In my opinion, this provides the
best
interpretation. It made the possibility of the Passover lamb
being killed after
midnight. It would not be common sense for the Israelites to kill it
that late in the last hours before dawn, because that would be also too
late. It makes sense that they would have accomplished the commandment
before the middle of the night.
Looking at this chart, it shows the timeline of a typical day and night
timeline including the dawn and dusk times
It would have made more sense
that they would have killed the lamb/kid shortly after sunset on the
night of the
fourteenth, and later burn it in the morning on the same day, the time
line when one in the
agricultural life would get up to prepare to plow their fields.

PASSOVER/UNLEAVENED
BREAD
Verses thirty through thirty two
30 And Pharaoh arose at
night, he, and all his
servants, and all of Egypt; and she was a great cry in Egypt;
for was not a house which a dead one (a death) was not there. 31 And
called for
Moses and for Aaron at night, and said, Arise! and go out from the
midst of my people, also you, also the Sons
of Israel; And go, serve ta-hwhy according to [(as)] your word! 32
Take also your
flocks, also your
herds as the which you
spoke,
and go; And you bless
me also!
In other words, Pharaoh gave in to hwhy through Moses'
request. hwhy finished his
series of plagues, so it wasn't necessary for hwhy to strengthen
Pharaoh's heart
again. But it will be for a little while before it happens again, which
we will see in next week's Torah portion.
In verse thirty, it says "she" was a great cry. Based on this
information, "she" pertains to the "soul of Egypt". The soul includes
the emotions, and crying is an emotion and is part of the soul. One
can say that the "soul"
of Egypt was greatly crying for their loss of their firstborn.
Also, in verse
thirty of this week's Torah portion passage, it shows that they only
had enough time to make
unleavened bread and no time to prepare food for a long journey. It's
just as well they didn't, otherwise, they would have to prepare for a
forty year journey, as we will see later in the Torah.
THE
EGYPTIAN eLOHIM RELATING TO THE
TENTH PLAGUE
The
deities that could have been affiliated with this plague are "Anbius",
that was
mentioned in the ninth plague, "Min", god of fertility- where we also
get "man"
(makes sense to me), and "Amon-Ra", the
ultimate
Egyptian god. First, this is Wikipedia's
information on Min:
"Min is an
Ancient Egyptian god
whose cult originated in predynastic times (4th
millennium BCE). He was
represented in many
different forms, but was often represented in male human form, shown
with an erect penis which he holds in his left hand and an upheld right
arm holding a flail.
As Khem or Min, he was the
god of reproduction; as Khnum, he was the
creator of all
things, "the maker of gods and men".
These are the images referring to the deity Min
Looking at
Amon-Ra, this information comes from the Magic Spell Casters
Association of Egypt website. This is what it says regarding
Amon-Ra:
Amun-Ra
"He
is
the ultimate god of entire ancient Egypt; many of the Egyptians
considered him as the God of Kings and King of Gods! He is the oldest
and the most worshipped ruler of ancient Egypt.
Amun
Ra simply means: Hidden Light (Amun= Gidden and Ra= Light
In
Egyptian mythology, Amun is the ram with extremely curved horns; ram
signifies fertility, as symbolized by ram’s great proactive
and
fertile energy! Legend says that pharaohs always liked to call
themselves as “beloved of Amun”, meaning that they
were the
real representatives of the god of fertility. As a pharaoh was the
“Son of Ra”, it was natural to call the god Amun as
the
father of the Monarch. Amun was the god of the Thebal capital and as a
result, he was so successful in attaining the status of the supreme god
of the whole kingdom. The almighty god Amun personifies the Sun God and
the Sun is the symbol of birth and energy".
The images are
already portrayed from the ninth plague.
Verses thirty three
through thirty thirty six
33 And Egypt, she was strong
upon the people to hasten to send them away from the land; for they
said, All of us will be
dead ones. 34 And the people lifted (bore, carried) ta-his dough before (not yet)
becoming
leavened,
their kneading troughs were bound in their clothes upon their
shoulders. 35 And the Sons of Israel, they did according to [(as)] the
word of
Moses; and they asked from Egypt vessels of silver, and
vessels
of gold, and clothing: 36 And hwhy gave the People ta-grace (favor) in
the eyes of ta-Egypt,
and was asked of them, and they plundered ta-Egypt.
hwhy allowed
the Egyptians to suffer, so that He would fulfill His Will to make
them give away their silver, their gold and their clothes as mentioned
in verse
thirty six of this week's Torah portion passage. Egypt was so afraid
of hwhy, that they
feared if there were more plagues, it would result in all of their
deaths.
In verse thirty four of this week's Torah portion passage, it mentions
"his dough", and notice that the
dough was not given time to leaven, meaning that it was "unleavened
dough". The "his" is symbolic of "He",
Yeshua, who is "the Unleavened Dough". Also in this verse, they carried
their kneading troughs in their clothes and carried them upon their
shoulders. The kneading troughs are symbolic of "the crosses". The
Israelites were symbolically denying themselves taking up their crosses
and following hwhy
through the
leadership of Moses. Yeshua noted this for us
who are in Messiah today, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew
16:24 Then said
Yeshua unto His disciples, If any man will
come after Me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
In verse thirty five in this week's Torah portion passage, the
Israelites
plundered the
Egyptians' gold, silver and clothes, items of provision for their
future provisions and for the upcoming Tabernacle to be built in the
wilderness.
Indirectly related, there was an account where Yeshua's parents
received provisions, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew
2:9 When they
had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the Star, which they saw in
the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the Young
Child was. 10 When they saw the Star, they rejoiced with
exceeding
great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw
the Young Child with Mary, His mother, and fell down, and worshipped
Him:
and when
they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him
gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And being
warned
of hwhy in a dream
that they should
not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
13 And when they were departed, behold, the Messenger of hwhy appeareth
to Joseph in a
dream, saying, Arise, and take the Young Child and His mother, and flee
into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will
seek the Young Child to destroy Him. 14 When he arose, he took
the Young Child and His mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15
And
was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken of hwhy by the
prophet, saying, Out
of Egypt have I called my son.
The magi brought to Joseph's family gold, frankincense and myrrh as
provisions to escape and dwell in Egypt until the death of Herod.
King David noted this Torah portion account of the Israelites taking
the gold
and silver, which is noted in the book of the Psalms
Psalms 105:37 He brought
them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble
person among their tribes.
Verses thirty seven and thirty
eight
37 And the Sons of Israel, they journeyed (pulled up)
from Rameses to
Succoth according to [(as)] six hundred thousand mighty men of foot, by apart from
the little ones. 38 And also a
mixed multitude ascended with them; and
flocks, and herds, much heavy livestock.
As noted in the Torah portion of Va-Eyra, in the book of
Exodus, to Pharaoh,
Ra-m'seys means "Ra is Drawn Out", but to the Israelites, it means
" Rah is an Evil Waste". Succoth, as most people know, means "booths".
One
can say that the Israelites, through hwhy,
was drawn out
from an evil waste to dwell in booths. This is also a type and shadow
of us in Messsiah who are spiritually drawn out to enter into being
spiritual booths for Yeshua as His vessels. This could also imply that
it
is connected to Yeshua's Parable of the Virgins in the Gospel of
Matthew, in chapter twenty five, when the Bridegroom, who is Yeshua,
will come for His Bride,
the believers from the symbolic Rameses of the world to enter into the
Bridegroom's House, which in my opinion will occur on the Fall
harvest's
Biblical Fall High Holy Day of the Feast of Sukkoth.
In verse thirty eight of this week's Torah portion passage, it says
"a mixed multitude", which in the
Hebrew text
is "eh-rehv rahv" (br bre),
Bill Cloud of Shoreshim
Ministries noted that it means
peoples of different nations that were present with them, including
some
Egyptians, Cushites (Ethiopians), Nubians, and probably some Canaanites
that were
enslaved at one time, and other ethnicities.
Verse thirty nine
39 And they baked ta-the dough
which they
brought out from Egypt of unleavened round cakes, for was not leavened;
For they were driven out from Egypt, and and they were not able to
delay (tarry, linger) her, and also they did not do (make, prepare)
for
themselves provision (victuals, game food).
40 And the dwelling of the Sons of Israel,
which they dwelled
in Egypt was thirty years and four hundred years. 41 And was from the
end of thirty years and four hundred years, and was in this same day,
all of the armies
of hwhy, they went out from the land
of
Egypt. 42 He was a Night of Observation (Keeping, Guarding, Watching)
to hwhy for
bringing them out from the land of Egypt: he is this night to hwhy an Observance (Keeping,
Guarding, Heeding) for all of the
Sons of Israel for their generations.
43 And hwhy said to
Moses and Aaron,
This is the Statute of the Passover: Every son of a foreigner shall not
eat on him:
44 And every servant of a man purchased (bought) of silver, and you
shall
circumcise him, then shall eat on him. 45 A dweller (foreign
dweller) and a hired
servant shall not eat on him.
46 Shall be eaten in one house; you shall not go out from the flesh
from the house to
the outside; and you shall not shever-break a bone on him. 47
All
of the Congregation
of Israel, they shall do (make, prepare)
him.
48 And when a sojourns (stranger) shall sojourn with you,
and shall do the
Passover
to hwhy, every remembered one (male)
to him shall be
circumcised, and
then shall come near to do (make, prepare) him; and shall be like the
native
of
the land: and anyone uncircumcised shall not eat on him.
49 One
Teaching (Torah) shall be to the native and to the
sojourner (stranger) that sojourns in your
midst. 50 And all of the Sons
of
Israel, they did as the which hwhy
commanded ta-Moses and ta-Aaron, so
they did.
51 And was on this same day that hwhy brought out ta-the Sons of
Israel from the
land of Egypt, upon their armies.
Verses thirty four and thirty nine reveal two different phrases:
34 And the people lifted (bore,
carried) ta-his dough before (not yet)
becoming
leavened,...
39 And they baked ta-the dough
which they
brought out from Egypt...
The Aleph-Tavs next to the words "his dough" and "the dough" were
hints, especially the phrase "his dough", in which "his" is the correct
Hebrew pronoun, and these two verses refer to Yeshua, "the Unlevened
Dough".
Notice it says in this week's
Torah
portion passage that they could not
delay "her", meaning the dough. In
other words, the dough is symbolic of a soul. This would be a type and
shadow of
Yeshua's Soul not delaying to do His Heavenly Father's Will, otherwise
if Yeshua "delayed" to do His Father's Will, Yeshua's "Soul" would
start turning to sourdough and ferment and begin to leaven, becoming
"leavened bread". I will reveal this shortly.
This is the
same application in our lives as believers who believe in Yeshua in
which that we must
not
delay to do our Heavenly Fathers' Will, otherwise, if we delay to do
His Will, the leavening of "sin" will begin to form in our
own dough of our souls. An example of this is noted in the Torah
portion of Ki
They-tsey, in the book of Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 23:21 When you vow a
vow to hwhy, your
Elohim, you shall not delay (procrastinate) to repay (recompense,
restitute)
him: for
requiring, hwhy, your Elohim, shall require
from with you;
and shall be sin against you.
Based on verses thirty seven through thirty nine of this week's Torah
portion chapter, it is possible that
the Israelites baked
the bread at Succoth, after they arrived
there and settled, which would have given them enough time to do it
before the bread started to ferment. This would be a type and shadow of
the
fulfillment of Yeshua
manifesting Himself (an act of the unleavened bread being baked) to
take us as the Bride to Himself, the Bridegroom, in the Fall harvest on
the Fall High Holy
day of the Feast of Sukkoth.
Notice that there is also a
hint of Sukkoth. This
is not the
first time this has occurred. It had occurred during the time of
Abraham in an account when the three men stopped by, which was
calculated to be in the
time of Sukkoth, but when they went to Sodom to get Lot and his family
out of the city
to be delivered from the city's destruction, it had harmonic overtones
of Passover.
Looking at the word ROUND CAKES
The Hebrew word for round
cakes
is "oog-gah"- Ayin, Gimel, Heh (hge). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 5692, and its definition
From
H5746; an ashcake (as round): - cake (upon the hearth).
from 5746"oog" (gwe), and its
definition
A
primitive root; properly to gyrate; but used only as denominative from
H5692, to bake (round cakes on the hearth): - bake.
This is same Hebrew root word that was applied to Og, king of the
Bashan.
Number 21:33 And they faced away and they
ascended the way of the Bashan:
and
came
out Og (gwe), King of the Bashan, to
encounter (meet) them, he and all of his
people, to the war at Edrei.
Looking at the word OG
The Hebrew word for Og
is "ohg"- Ayin, Vav, Gimel (hge). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 5692, and its definition
Probably
from H5746; round; Og, a king of Bashan: - Og.
from 5746"oog" (gwe), and its
definition
A
primitive root; properly to gyrate; but used only as denominative from
H5692, to bake (round cakes on the hearth): - bake.
The reason for Og's name, because he was most likely a "round" man.
Verses forty and forty-one
40 And the dwelling of the Sons of Israel,
which they dwelled
in Egypt was thirty years and four hundred years. 41 And was from the
end of thirty years and four hundred years, and was in this same day,
all of the armies
of hwhy, they went out from the land
of
Egypt.
The Israelites sojourned for four hundred and thirty years. It also
said they left "even the selfsame day", and we can find out the exact
day the Israelites left Ramesses, which is noted
in the Torah portion of Masei, in the book of Numbers
Numbers 33:3 And they pulled up
(journeyed) from Rameses in the
first renewed month, on the
five ten (fiveteen, fifteen) day of the first renewed month; after
the Passover, the Sons of
Israel, they went out on a high (raised) hand to the eyes of all of the
Egyptians.
This occurred at night time, which is noted in the Torah portion of
R'ey, in the book of Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 16:1 Guard (Keep, Observe Heed)
the
renewed month of the Aviv, and you shall do (make) the
Passover to hwhy, your
Elohim: for in ta-the renewed month of
the Aviv, hwhy, your Elohim,
brought you out from
Egypt at night.
That means they went out when hwhy
led as a Pillar of Fire. That means that the Egyptians who were present
during the Israelites' departure witnessed the Pillar of Fire at night.
There is a question to when the sojourning began. Looking at what hwhy
said to Abraham, which is noted in the Torah
portion of Lekh L'kha, in
the book of Genesis
Genesis
15:13 And said to Abram,
Knowing, you shall
know for your
seed shall be a sojourner (stranger) in a land not belonging to them,
and
shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14
And also ta-the nation,
which they shall
serve will I judge: and
after thus, shall they come out among a great substance (goods,
property).
As it was mentioned in the Torah portion of Va-Eyra, in the
book of Exodus, the
Israelites did
not literally dwell in Egypt for 430 years based on the calculations
that were made between the generations from Levi to Moses' parents.
Here are slides showing my notes that argue the premise
So far based on my calculations, it is possible that it started with
Abraham's son, Isaac, but I am still searching and calculating.
This
is a chart revealing
the year of mankind and the
age of Moses' siblings when Moses was eighty
years old
YEAR OF MAN WHEN MOSES WAS 80
YEARS
OLD |
NAME OF MOSES' RELATIVES |
AGE OF MOSES' RELATIVES WHEN MOSES
WAS 80 YEARS OLD |
AGE OF DEATH OF MOSES' RELATIVES |
2454 YEARS OF MANKIND |
Miriam |
about 86 or 87 years old |
about 126 or 127 years old |
2454 YEARS OF MANKIND |
Levi |
about 83 years old |
about 123 years old |
Based on past
calculations, if the time line is correct, this would
take us to about 1546 BC.
By the time
that Moses was eighty years old, according to Wikipedia, based on
the time
line, the Pharaoh who ruled in Egypt was Apepi who ruled
from 1575-1540 BC of the
Fifteenth Dynasty, in the Second Intermediate Period.
This
is what Wikipedia says regarding Apepi:
"Apepi (also Ipepi; Egyptian language ipp(i)) or Apophis (Greek:
Ἄποφις; regnal names Neb-khepesh-Re, A-qenen-Re and A-user-Re) was a ruler of
Lower Egypt
during the fifteenth dynasty and the end of the Second
Intermediate Period that was dominated
by this foreign dynasty of rulers called the Hyksos. According to the
Turin Canon of Kings, he ruled over the northern portion of Egypt for
forty years. He ruled during the
early half of the 16th century BC and outlived his southern rival, Kamose, but not Ahmose I.[3] Although his reign
only entailed northern Egypt, Apepi was dominant over most of Egypt
during the early portion of his reign, and traded peacefully with the
native Theban Seventeenth
dynasty
to the south".
This is the only image referring to Apepi
Apepi was the
second to the last Pharaoh who reigned in the Fifteenth
Dynasty. According to WIkipedia, the last Pharaoh who ruled in the
Seventeenth dynasty was Khamudi who possibly reigned from 1541-1540 BC.
This is what Wikipedia says regarding Khamudi:
"Khamudi (also known as Khamudy) was the last Hyksos
ruler of the Fifteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Khamudi came to power in 1534
BC or 1541 BC, ruling the northern portion of Egypt from his capital
Avaris. His ultimate defeat at the hands of Ahmose I, after a short
reign, marks the end of the Second
Intermediate Period".
These are the only images referring to Khamudi
Another Pharaoh who reigned near this time was Wadjkheperre Kamose who
reigned from 1554-1549 BC of the Seventeenth Dynasty, in the Second
Intermediate Period.
This is what Wikipedia says regarding Wadjkheperre
Kamose:
"Kamose was
the last king of the Theban Seventeenth
Dynasty. He was possibly the son of Seqenenre Tao and Ahhotep I
and the full brother of Ahmose I, founder of the Eighteenth Dynasty. His reign fell at the
very end of the Second Intermediate Period.
Kamose is usually ascribed a reign of three years (his highest attested
regnal year), although some scholars now favor giving him a longer
reign of approximately five years.
His reign is
important for the decisive military initiatives he took against the
Hyksos, who had come to rule much of Ancient Egypt. His father had
begun the initiatives and, quite possibly, lost his life in battle with
the Hyksos. It is thought that his mother, as regent, continued the
campaigns after the death of Kamose and that his full brother made the
final conquest of them and united all of Egypt".
These are the
only images referring to Wadjkheperre
Kamose
After the end of these dynasties, Ahmose I, who reigned from
1550/49-1525/24 BC was the first Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty to
begin the New Kingdom Period. This would fit the time period when a
major dynasty falls apart that a new dynasty of Pharaohs would take
advantage of the weaker Pharaohs of a current dynasty, and take over
the entire nation of Egypt, and unite the Egyptian empire.
It could be probable that it was Apeppi who was the Pharaoh of the
Exodus
whom Moses confronted.

Verse forty two
42 He was a Night of
Observation (Keeping, Guarding, Heeding)
to hwhy for
bringing them out from the land of Egypt: he is this night to hwhy an Observance (Keeping,
Guarding, Heeding) for all of the
Sons of Israel for their generations.
43 And hwhy said to
Moses and Aaron,
This is the Statute of the Passover: Every son of a foreigner shall not
eat on him:
44 And every servant of a man purchased (bought) of silver, and you
shall
circumcise him, then shall eat on him. 45 A dweller (foreign
dweller) and a hired
servant shall not eat on him.
46 Shall be eaten in one house; you shall not go out from the flesh
from the house to
the outside; and you shall not shever-break a bone on him. 47
All
of the Congregation
of Israel, they shall do (make, prepare)
him.
48 And when a sojourns (stranger) shall sojourn with you,
and shall do the
Passover
to hwhy, every remembered one (male)
to him shall be
circumcised, and
then shall come near to do (make, prepare) him; and shall be like the
native
of
the land: and anyone uncircumcised shall not eat on him.
49 One
Teaching (Torah) shall be to the native and to the
sojourner (stranger) that sojourns in your
midst. 50 And all of the Sons
of
Israel, they did as the which hwhy
commanded ta-Moses and ta-Aaron, so
they did.
51 And was on this same day that hwhy brought out ta-the Sons of
Israel from the
land of Egypt, upon their armies.
This is how
KJV
version translates this verse:
Exodus 12:42 (KJV) It is a
night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the
land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the
children of Israel in their generations.
The problem is, that two of these words "It" and "this" is from the
Hebrew text word "hoo"- Heh, Vav, Aleph (awh), and it is
properly translated almost all the time as "he", or "him".
Also, this week's Torah portion verse is a multiple phrase of the same
statement like Adam
and
Khavah, and Moses when stated three different ways, which is noted in
the Torah portion of B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis, and in the
Torah portion of Va-Eyra, in the book of Exodus.
Genesis 1:27
And Elohim created ta-the Adam in
His Image,
created him in the Image of
Elohim, created them a remembered one (male) and
a perforated one (punctured one, female).
Exodus 6:26 He was Aaron and Moses which hwhy said to them, Bring out ta-the Sons of Israel from the
land of Egypt upon their armies. 27 These were the ones speaking
to
Pharaoh, King of Egypt, to bring out ta-the Sons of Israel from
Egypt: He was Moses
and Aaron.
In this week's Torah portion passage's case, it was only stated in two
different ways.
These next few
verses reveal the kinds of people in relation to the Feast of the
Passover.
Verse forty three
ONE: A FOREIGNER
43 And hwhy said to
Moses and Aaron,
This is the Statute of the Passover: Every son of a foreigner shall not
eat on him:
The first type of person mentioned is the Foreigner
Looking at the word FOREIGNER
The Hebrew word for
foreigner is "ney-khahr"- Nun, kaph, Resh (rkn).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 5236, and its definition
From
H5234; foreign, or (concretely) a foreigner, or (abstractly)
heathendom: - alien, strange (+ -er).
from 5234 "nah-khahr" (rkn), and its definition
A
primitive root; properly to scrutinize, that is, look intently at;
hence (with recognition implied), to acknowledge, be acquainted with,
care for, respect, revere, or (with suspicion implied), to disregard,
ignore, be strange toward, reject, resign, dissimulate (as if ignorant
or disowning): - acknowledge, X could, deliver, discern, dissemble,
estrange, feign self to be another, know, take knowledge (notice),
perceive, regard, (have) respect, behave (make) self strange (-ly).
In this case, a foreigner is one that does not want to
"assimilate" with the Israelites. That means it is anyone that does not
want to be
circumcised, at minimum, as well as being "grafted in" to hwhy's People. Does
this sound like an issue that is going on the United States today?
Indirectly related, the apostle Paul noted the issue of
grating in, which is noted in his letter to the assembly in Rome
Romans 11:1 I say then,
Hath hwhy cast away His People? Let it
not be. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the
tribe of Benjamin. 2 hwhy hath not cast away His
People which He foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias?
How he maketh intercession to hwhy against Israel, saying, 3
Adonai, they have killed Thy prophets, and digged down Thine Altars;
and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 4 But what saith the answer
of hwhy unto him? I have reserved to
myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of
Baal. 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then is it
no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of
works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for;
but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8
(According as it is written, hwhy hath given them the spirit
of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should
not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be
made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto
them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow
down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they
should fall? Let it not be: but rather through their fall salvation is
come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 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.
We as believers
in Messiah
are also grafted in to the Israelite branch, so that we can honor our
Heavenly Father's High Holy Days, including Passover and the seven days
Feast of
Unleavened Bread.
Indirectly related, in
relation to assimilation, the world today has been strongly against
Israel, Yeshua and His believers and don't want to assimilate with
them, because they have been deceived. Perry Stone of Voice of Evangelism Ministries
noted this scripture from the apostle Paul, which is noted in his
letter to the
assembly in Thessalonica
2 Thessalonians 2:8 And
then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with
the spirit of His Mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His
coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan
with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all
deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the Love of the Truth, that they might be saved. 11 And
for this cause hwhy shall send them strong
deception, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might
be damned who believed not the Truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.
Verse forty four
TWO: ONE PURCHASED OF SILVER AND
CIRCUMCISED
44 And every servant of a man
purchased (bought) of silver, and you
shall
circumcise him, then shall eat on him.
The second type of person mentioned is one purchased of silver and is
circumcised.
This could be based on the Commandment regarding
Abraham, his sons
and his servants, which is noted in the Torah portion of Lekh L'kha, in
the book of
Genesis
Genesis
17:7 And I will establish ta-My Covenant between Me and
between you, and between your seed after you for their generations for
a
Covenant of Ages (Everlasting), to be to you for Elohim, and to your
seed after you.
8 And I
will give to you and to your seed after you ta the land of your
sojourning, ta all the land of Canaan, for
an Inhertance of Ages (Everlasting);
and I will be to them for Elohim.
9 And Elohim said to
Abraham, And you, you shall
guard (watch, observe, keep) ta-My Covenant, you,
and your seed after you to their
generations. 10 This is My
Covenant which you shall
guard (watch, observe, keep) between Me,
and between you, and
between your seed after you; Circumcise to
you
every remembered one (male). 11 And you
shall circumcise ta-the flesh of
your foreskins;
and
shall be for a Sign (Token) of the Covenant between Me and between you.
12 And
a son of eight
days shall be circumcised to you
of every remembered one (male) to
your generations
birthed of the house and bought
(purchased) of silver
from
any son of a foreigner of which he is not of your seed. 13 That
circumcising, shall be circumcised a birthed one (lad) at your house
and a
bought one (purchased one) of your silver:
and My Covenant, she shall be in your flesh for a Covenant
of Ages (Everlasting).
14 And an uncircumcised remembered one (male) which has not
circumcised ta-the flesh of his foreskin,
and shall cut her off that soul
from her People;
has violated (disannuled, dissolved) ta-My Covenant.
Silver is also
symbolic of redemption. Yeshua redeemed us from eternal
death, and we have came into His Covenant through His Blood.
Looking at the word PURCHASED
(BOUGHT)
The Hebrew word for purchased
(bought) is
"meek-nah"- Mem, Kuph, Nun, Heh (hnqm). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 4736, and its definition
Feminine
of H4735; properly a buying, that is, acquisition; concretely a piece
of property (land or living); also the sum paid: - (he that is) bought,
possession, piece, purchase.
from 4735 "meek-neh" (hnqm), and its
definition
From
H7069; something bought, that is, property, but only live stock;
abstractly acquisition: - cattle, flock, herd, possession, purchase,
substance.
from 7069 "kah-nah" (hnq), and its definition
A
primitive root; to erect, that is, create; by extension to procure,
especially by purchase (causatively sell); by implication to own: -
attain, buy (-er), teach to keep cattle, get, provoke to jealousy,
possess (-or), purchase, recover, redeem, X surely, X verily.
Notice that this Hebrew word is the same word for livestock, which
would include purchased animals.
If a person was purchased of silver, but wasn't circumcised, cannot
partake of the Passover. The person had to be both purchased of
silver and
circumcised.
Indirectly related, Yeshua bought us through the price of His Life by
His Blood, which the apostle Paul noted in his letter to the assembly
in Corinth
1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know
ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit which is in
you, which ye have of the Lord, and ye are not your own?
20 For
ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify the Lord in your body, and in your
spirit, which are the Lord's.
1 Corinthians 7:21 Art
thou called being a servant? Care not for it: but if thou mayest be
made free, use it rather. 22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a
servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being
free, is Messiah's servant. 23 Ye are bought
with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 24 Brethren,
let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with the Lord.
Verse forty five
THREE: A DWELLER
45 A dweller (foreign
dweller) and a hired
servant shall not eat on him.
The third type of person mentioned is a dweller.
Looking at the word DWELLER (FOREIGN DWELLER)
The Hebrew word dweller
(foreign dweller) is
"toh-shahv"- Tav, Vav, Shin, Bet (bswt).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 8453, and its definition
(The
second form used in Kings Num_17:1); from H3427; a dweller (but not
outlandish, H5237); especially (as distinguished from a native citizen
(active participle of H3427) and a temporary inmate, H1616, or mere
lodger, H3885) resident alien: - foreigner-inhabitant, sojourner,
stranger.
from 3427 "yah-shahv" (bsy), and its definition
A
primitive root; properly to sit down (specifically as judge, in ambush,
in quiet); by implication to dwell, to remain; causatively to settle,
to marry: - (make to) abide (-ing), continue, (cause to, make to)
dwell (-ing), ease self, endure, establish, X fail, habitation, haunt,
(make to) inhabit (-ant), make to keep [house], lurking, X marry
(-ing), (bring again to) place, remain, return, seat, set (-tle),
(down-) sit (-down, still, -ting down, -ting [place] -uate), take,
tarry.
In the case of Passover, the meaning of a dweller is one that just
exists, that dwells with no purpose but a temporary place to rest.
FOUR: A HIRED SERVANT
The fourth type of person mentioned is the hired servant.
Looking at the word HIRED SERVANT
The Hebrew word for hired
servant is "sah-kheer"- Shin, Kaph, Yod, Resh (ryks). It is from
Strong's Concordance number 7916, and its definition
From
H7936; a man at wages by the day or year: - hired (man, servant),
hireling.
from 7936 "sah-khahr" (rks
or rko), and its
definition
The
second form by permutation and used in Ezr_4:5; a primitive root
(apparently akin (by prosthesis) to H3739 through the idea of temporary
purchase; compare H7937); to hire: - earn wages, hire (out self),
reward, X surely.
from 3739 "kah-rah" (hrk), and its
definition
Usually
assigned as a primitive root, but probably only a special application
of H3738 (through the common idea of planning implied in a bargain); to
purchase: - buy, prepare.
In other words, a person that was paid by the owner to do the work for
the owner cannot
participate in the Passover, because they are not part of the
"household". They are outsiders that have their own homes who are
"temporary helpers", and not permanent residents.
Verse forty six
46 Shall be eaten in one
house; you shall not go out from the flesh
from the house to
the outside; and you shall not shever-break a bone on him.
In other words, the flesh, or the meat, is not to be transported from
one home to another, because it is to be kept "inside the home" in like
manner in the requirement of the Exodus' Passover where the Israelites
stayed "inside" throughout the night while the destroyer went over
their houses destroying those who did not have the blood on the upper
door post
and the side doorposts.
There
are organizations that have Passover Seders on a Passover/Unleavened
Bread ship cruise, and some in a public facility with many people
gathered together, but this goes against the Torah that is noted in
verses three through seven of this week's Torah portion chapter, as
well as this verse in this
week's Torah portion passage. It is to be located in one's own home,
and not
in a group
environment, because it is a "private feast" until the last
day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread, which is mentioned in the
next
chapter of this week's Torah portion. The flesh is to be kept inside.
This is what it says in the next chapter of this week's Torah portion
Exodus 13:6 Seven
days you shall
eat unleavened
bread, and on the
seventh shall be a Feast to hwhy.
In other words, hwhy was
compassionate and sympathetic to His People for having to stay in their
homes for six days (seven including Passover), that He gave them a
break by having them come out
and get together on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread,
on the twenty-first day of Aviv/Nissan, to have an "Outdoor Matsa
Banquet".
Regarding the bones not to be broken, it is also noted in the Torah
portion of B'ha-Aloth-Kha, in the book of
Numbers
Numbers
9:12 They
shall not
remain (be left) of him until breaking period (morning), and they shall
not break
a bone on
him: they shall do him according to [(as)] all of the Statutes of
the
Passover.
The reason it said to not to break a bone, because the unbroken bones
represented Yeshua's unbroken bones that was fulfilled when He was
crucified at the cross
on Passover, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John
19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation
[Passover],
that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Shabbath day
[first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread],
(for that Shabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their
legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then
came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other
which was crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Yeshua, and
saw that He was dead already, they brake not His Legs: 34 But one of
the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there
out blood and water. 35 And he that saw it bare record, and His record
is true: and He knoweth that He saith true, that ye might believe. 36
For these
things were done, that the
scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of Him
shall not be broken.
This is noted in
the book of the Psalms
Psalm 34:20
He keepeth all of his bones: not one of them is broken.
If any of His bones became broken, Yeshua would have disqualified
Himself as the Passover Lamb for the world. Thank you Heavenly Abba
Father that it didn't happen.
Verse forty seven
47
All
of the Congregation
of Israel, they shall do (make, prepare)
him.
In a way, this could be compared to the account of the Passover when
Nicodemus
and Joseph of Arimathea (Nick and Joe) embalmed
Yeshua, which is noted in the Gospel of John
John 19:38 And after this
Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Yeshua, but secretly for fear
of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the Body of
Yeshua: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the Body
of Yeshua. 39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first
came to Yeshua by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
about an hundred pound weight. 40 Then took they the Body of
Yeshua, and wound It in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of
the Jews is to bury.
They "prepared"
Yeshua to be buried in Joseph of Arimathea's tomb, which I realized is
on the Mount of Olives.
There is another account when He was being prepared before His death,
which is noted in
the Gospels of John and Mark
John 12:1 Then Yeshua six
days before the Passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had
been dead, whom he raised from the dead. 2 There they made him a
supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the
table with Him. 3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard,
very costly, and anointed the Feet of Yeshua, and wiped His Feet with
her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. 4
Then saith one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which
should betray Him, 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred
pence, and given to the poor? 6 This he said, not that he cared for the
poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was
put therein. 7 Then said
Yeshua, Let her alone: against the day of My burying hath she kept this.
Mark 14:1 After two days was
the Feast of the Passover, and of Unleavened Bread: and the Chief
Priests and the Scribes sought how they might take Him by craft, and
put Him to death. 2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest
there be an uproar of the People. 3 And being in Bethany in the
house of Simon the leper, as He sat at meat, there came a woman having
an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake
the box, and poured it on his head. 4 And there were some that had
indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the
ointment made? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three
hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured
against her. 6 And Yeshua said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She
hath wrought a good work on Me. 7 For ye have the poor with you always,
and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but Me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come
aforehand to anoint My Body to the burying. 9 Verily I say unto
you, Wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole
world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a Memorial
of her.
Verse forty
eight
FIVE: A CIRCUMCISED STRANGER
48 And when a sojourns
(stranger) shall sojourn with you,
and shall do the
Passover
to hwhy, every remembered one (male)
to him shall be
circumcised, and
then shall come near to do (make, prepare) him; and shall be like the
native
of
the land: and anyone uncircumcised shall not eat on him.
The fifth type of person mentioned is the stranger who is circumcised.
Looking at the following words:
STRANGER
The Hebrew word for stranger
is "goor"- Gimel, Vav, Resh (rwg).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 1481, and its definition
A
primitive root; properly to turn aside from the road (for a lodging or
any other purpose), that is, sojourn (as a guest); also to shrink, fear
(as in a strange place); also to gather for hostility (as afraid): -
abide, assemble, be afraid, dwell, fear, gather (together), inhabitant,
remain, sojourn, stand in awe, (be) stranger, X surely.
SOJOURN
The Hebrew word for the verb,
"sojourn", is "gehr"- Gimel, Resh (rg).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 1616, and its definition
From
H1481; properly a guest; by implication a foreigner: - alien,
sojourner, stranger.
In this case
regarding the Passover, a sojourning stranger who sojourns with an
Israelite owner is purposing
to find a place to rest. Passover is a "resting" and "lodging" feast,
which is based in verse forty six of this week's Torah portion chapter
Exodus 12:46
Shall be eaten in one house;...
This is why hwhy
allowed lodgers
to participate as long as he and his male companions with him are
willing to be circumcised. Another reason that hwhy could have most
likely
said this, because fellow Israelites who
traveled a far distance and who were too far away from getting back
home in
time for Passover would be able to reside at their Israelite brother's
home. But strangers who didn't want to be circumcised could not partake
in the Passover.
In summary,
these are the types of peoples that are allowed or not allowed to
partake in the Passover:
A Foreigner: NO
A Servant Purchased of Silver,
but Not Circumcised: NO
A Servant Purchased of Silver and Circumcised: YES
A Dweller: NO
A Temporary Hired Servant:
NO
A Sojourning Stranger Not
Circumcised:
NO
A Sojourning Stranger
Circumcised:
YES
Indirectly related, Yeshua's parents sojourned to Jerusalem for the
Feast of Passover every
year, and it was the first time that Yeshua was noted to sojourn with
His parents for
the Passover, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke
Luke 2:41 Now His parents
went [soujourned] to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.
42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem
after the custom of the Feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days,
as they returned, the Child Yeshua tarried behind in Jerusalem; and
Joseph and His mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing Him
to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought Him
among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found Him
not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 And it
came to pass, that after three days they found Him in the Temple,
sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them
questions. 47 And all that heard Him were astonished at His
understanding and answers. 48 And when they saw Him, they were amazed:
and His mother said unto Him, Son, why hast Thou thus dealt with us?
Behold, Thy father and I have sought Thee sorrowing. 49 And He said
unto them, How is it that ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I must be
about My Father's Business? 50 And they understood not the saying
which He spake unto them. 51 And He went down with them, and came
to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but His mother kept all these
Sayings in her heart.
In relevance to sojourning, in the Gospel of Luke, Joseph and Mary were
required to go to
Bethlehem, because
they
were decreed to be there to be taxed.
They were
looking for a place to lodge, especially Mary, because Mary was about
to give birth to Yeshua, which was also at the time of Fall High Holy
Day
of the Feast of Sukkoth when this event occurred. So Joseph and Mary
would fit this description of
sojourning.
Verses forty nine through
fifty-one
49 One
Teaching (Torah) shall be to the native and to the
sojourner (stranger) that sojourns in your
midst. 50 And all of the Sons
of
Israel, they did as the which hwhy
commanded ta-Moses and ta-Aaron, so
they did.
51 And was on this same day that hwhy brought out ta-the Sons of
Israel from the
land of Egypt, upon their armies.
When verse forty
nine says of this week's Torah portion passage says
one Torah for this group and one for that
group, it does "not" mean that there are "two different Torahs", other
wise hwhy
would have said
to Moses throughout the rest of the Torah, "This is a different Torah
for the
stranger that sojourns among you". It is the same Torah, and it applied
to both the native
Israelites and to the stranger, which is noted in verses
forty seven and forty eight of this week's Torah portion chapter who
sojourned to the house of the natives who were having the Passover.
This passage has
been taken out of context, and its application has been revealed.
!!!hwhy Kl dbk
Verse fifty-one of this week's Torah portion passage is connected to
verse forty-one of this week's Torah portion chapter in which the
Israelites
left
Egypt on the fifteenth day of Aviv/Nissan.
In application to us as believers in Yeshua, we have gone through our
own
Spiritual Passover Exodus when we took on the Blood of Yeshua, and
Yeshua delivered us
from the Egyptian bondage of the world.
!!!hwhy Kl dbk
There are
movies, including The Ten
Commandments, showing some
people, especially elderly people, who
were blind or unable to walk, etc., when they were leaving Egypt, but
in my
humble opinion, when they
ate the Passover lamb, they became completely healed, otherwise why
would hwhy
tell the men to
have their staffs in hand? It was not a means to use it as a crutch,
but that they were "completely healed" and were made "completely whole".

THE
EXODUS STORY
CHAPTER
13
Exodus
13:1-16
Exo
13:1 And hwhy spoke to
Moses, to say,
2 Set apart (Sanctify) to Me every firstborn opening (bursting
forth, cleaving forth) every matrix (womb)
among the Sons of Israel, among the Adam and among the
animals:
he
shall belong to Me.
3 And Moses said to the People, Remember ta-this day which you came
out from Egypt, from the house of slaves (slavery, bondage); for on the
Strong
Hand, hwhy brought you
out from this (here): And shall not eat leavened bread there.
4 Today (The day),
you are going
out in the renewed month of the Aviv. 5 And shall be, when hwhy shall bring you to the
land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites which was sworn to your fathers to give to
you
a land flowing with fatness (milk) and thickness (honey) [(fatness and
thickness, milk and honey)], and you
shall serve ta-this Service
in this renewed month. 6 Seven
days you shall
eat unleavened
bread, and on the
seventh shall be a Feast to hwhy. 7
Unleavened
bread shall be
eaten ta the seven
days;
and leavened bread shall
not be seen by you, and sourdough shall not be seen by you in all of
your
borders.
8 And you shall tell
(declare, explain) to
your
son in that
day, to say, In order (In over) hwhy did this for me in my coming
out from Egypt. 9 And shall be to you for a Sign upon your
hand, and for a Memorial between your eyes, by that, the Teaching
(Torah) of hwhy, she will be in your
mouth: for on a Strong Hand hwhy brought you out from Egypt.
10 And you shall guard (keep, observe, watch) ta-this Statute to her Appointed
Time from days to days.
11 And shall be
when hwhy shall bring you to the
land of the Canaanites as the which was sworn to you and to your
fathers,
and
gives her to you, 12
and you will go over every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) of the womb
for hwhy,
and of every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) offspringed (ejected) of an
animal which shall belong to
you; the
remembered ones (males)
shall belong to hwhy. 13 And
you shall redeem every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) of
a donkey on a lamb; and if you will
not redeem, and
you shall neck break him: and every firstborn of Adam in your
midst,
you shall redeem.
14 And shall be, when your
son asks you at a later time [(asks you later)], to say, What is this?
And you shall say
to him, On the Strong Hand, hwhy brought us
out from Egypt,
from the house of slaves (slavery, bondage): 15 And was, when
Pharaoh
was hardened to send us away, and hwhy killed every firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Adam, and unto the
firstborn
of animals: Upon thus, I sacrifice to hwhy all of the remembered
ones (males) opening
(bursting forth, cleaving forth)
the matrix (womb); and I redeem every firstborn of my sons.
16 And
shall be for a Sign upon your hand, and for Frontlets between your
eyes: for on a Strong Hand, hwhy brought us out from
Egypt.
(NOTE: Not all verses will have
comments)
Verses one and two
1 And hwhy spoke to
Moses, to say,
2 Set apart (Sanctify) to Me every firstborn opening (bursting
forth, cleaving forth) every womb
among the Sons of Israel, among the Adam and among the
animals:
he
shall belong to Me.
I will explain this later in the chapter.
The manner of the firstborn would be fulfilled by Yeshua, who was the
Firstborn of all, which is from the apostle Paul in his letter to
the assembly in Rome
Romans
8:28 And we know
that all things work together for good to them that love hwhy, to them
who are the called
according to His Purpose. 29 For whom He did foreknow, He also
did
predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might
be the Firstborn among many brethren.
Yeshua became the Firstborn to hwhy
for the Kingdom, so that through Him, we would be hwhy's sons and
daughters in Messiah.
Verse three
3 And Moses said to the People, Remember ta-this day which you came
out from Egypt, from the house of slavery (bondage); for on the Strong
Hand, hwhy brought you
out from this (here): Shall not eat leavened bread there.
In verse three, Moses stated the precursor to the second half of the
First Word (Commandment), which is noted in the Torah portion of
Yithro, in the book of Exodus
Exodus 20:2
I am hwhy, your Elohim,
who
brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of (bondage
(slavery).
Verse four
4 Today,
you
came
out in the renewed month of the Aviv.
This is the basis of this month's name, which is noted in the Torah
portion of
Va-Eyra, in the book of Exodus
Exouds 9:31 And the flax and
the
barley were stricken: for the barley
was of aviv stage (earing stage,
green earing stage),...
The word comes from "earing stage"
Looking at the word AVIV STAGE
(EARING STAGE, GREEN EARING STAGE)
The Hebrew word for aviv stage
(earing
stage, green earing stage) is "ah-veev"- Aleph, Bet, Yod, Bet (byba). It is from Strong's Concordance
number 24, and its definition
From
an unused root (meaning to be tender); green, that is a young ear of
grain; hence the name of the month Abib or Nisan: - Abib, ear, green
ears of corn.
When the first Biblical month of the Biblical New Year starts in the
newly sighted moon,
the grain has to be tender and green in its stage for the month to be
called earring stage, or "Aviv". Nehemiah Gordon, a Karaite Jew,
of Biblical
Foundations Academy
International follows this
prerequisite in Israel with his organization. Every Spring, people
from Nehemiah's
group look around Israel for grain in the Aviv stage, earing stage,
before the time
the
new moon appears which would potentially be the Biblical New Year. When
they do, they proclaim that the new Biblical
year of
the month of Aviv/Nissan will begin in the first sighted slivered moon.
The www.new2torah.com
website also noted that it is in a "...green
or young ear of grain..." stage.
This is what Nehemiah Gordon of Nehemiah's
Wall and Biblical
Foundations Academy International noted on his article "Aviv
Barley on the Biblical Calendar" on his Nehemiah's Wall webpage:
"While still early in
its development, barley has not yet produced large enough and firm
enough seeds to produce food through parching. This early in its
development, when the "head" has just come out of the shaft, the seeds
are not substantial enough to produce any food. At a later stage, the
seeds have grown in size and have filled with liquid. At this point the
seeds will shrivel up when parched and will only produce empty skins.
Over time the liquid is replaced with dry material and when enough dry
material has amassed the seeds will be able to yield "barley parched in
fire....
In
summation, barley which is in the state of Aviv has 3
characteristics:
- It is brittle enough to
be
destroyed by hail and has begun to lighten in color (it is not "dark").
- The seeds have produced
enough dry material so it can be eaten parched.
- It has developed enough
so
that it will be harvest-ready 2-3 weeks later".
These are image examples of the barley grain in the aviv (tender green)
stage
This image below shows an abbreviated example of the barley's growth
stages to the aviv stage
This image of the kernel development stages is taken from the University of Minnesota Extension
website under the article "Spring barley growth and development guide"
This is the text from this website article regarding the stages of
the kernel:
Kernel development and maturity
"Once head emergence and pollination have occurred, kernels
begin to develop (Figure 11). The length of the barley kernel
establishes first, followed by its width. This helps explain why thin
barley developed under stress conditions is usually as long as normal
grain, but is narrower.
Figure 11 shows
the physical changes as a kernel develops.
Watery ripe and
milk stages
The first period
of kernel development, designated the “watery ripe” and
“milk” stages, lasts about 10 days.
Although the
kernels don’t gain much weight during this phase, it’s
extremely important because it determines the number of cells that will
subsequently be used for storing starch. Kernels crushed in this stage
initially yield a watery substance that later becomes milky.
Soft dough stage
The “soft
dough” stage is characterized by kernels with a white semi-solid
consistency. This period of rapid kernel growth and starch
storage usually lasts about 10 days following the milk stage.
Hard dough stage
Finally, as the
kernel approaches maturity and begins rapidly losing water, its
consistency becomes more solid, termed “hard dough.” This
is when the kernel also loses its green color (Figure 11)".
The late milk stage in figure 11b above would make the best
case scenario that this is the aviv stage. You can read this article
which in my humble but strong opinion gives the best explanation of the
barley's stages from germination to maturity by clicking on the ling
below to get to the webpage.
SPRING BARLEY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT GUIDE
Another insight regarding the word Aviv (byba)
could
be an elongated flourished name for "father" (ba).
In other
words, this month could be coined "the "Father of Biblical Months",
because the father is the "head" of the family. As in this case, "the
Biblical "Father Month"" is "the head of the family of months".
!!!hwhy Kl dbk
As I commented in the beginning of chapter twelve of this week's Torah
portion, the month of
Aviv/Nissan also
starts the new Biblical year, contrary to the traditional seventh
month of Ethanim/Tishri. You can go back to chapter twelve and read
about it there.
Verses five through seven
5 And shall be,
when hwhy shall bring you to the
land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the
Hivites, and the Jebusites which was sworn to your fathers to give to
you
a land flowing with fatness (milk) and thickness (honey) [(fatness and
thickness, milk and honey)], and you
shall serve ta-this Service
in this renewed month. 6 Seven days you shall
eat unleavened bread, and on the
seventh shall be a Feast to hwhy. 7
Unleavened bread shall be
eaten ta the seven days;
and leavened bread shall
not be seen by you, and sourdough shall not be seen by you in all of
your
border.
In verse six, they are to have a "public outdoor banquet" in the seveth
day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread when they are in the land.
This means that the seventh day is to feast your heart out with fellow
believers together in public. This is so, because they are to have
a Holy Convocation, as mentioned in chapter twelve.

Terror
Amorite:
Demander
Hivite:
Showoff
(of The Mouth)
Jebusite: Polluter
(Profaner)
All of these tribes have negative traits
attached to their
identities. The Israelites were to destroy each of these Canaanite
tribes bearing these negativie characteristics. We as believers in the
Messiah today have to deal
with these spiritual seven negative charateristics in our spiritual
lives, and we need to
destroy them with the help of Yeshua, through the Ruakh HaKodesh (the
Holy Spirit).

Notice in verse five of this week's Torah portion passage that the word
"you" is bold in pink. In the Hebrew text, the you is in the feminine
gender. This tell us that Moses was speaking to People's "soul", in
which the soul is feminine, which is noted in the Torah portion of
Akharey Moth, in the book of Leviticus
Leviticus 17:11 for a
soul of
the flesh, she is in the blood:...
But also notice that in the Hebrew text it is in the "singular"

Verses eight through ten
8 And you shall tell
(declare, explain) to
your
son in that

(Torah) of hwhy, she will be in your

10 And you shall keep (guard, observe) ta-this Statute to her Appointed
Time from days to days.
11 And shall be
when hwhy shall bring you to the
land of the Canaanites as the which was sworn to you and to your
fathers,
and
gives her to you, 12
and you will go over every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) of the womb
for hwhy,
and of every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) ejected of an animal which
belong to
you; the
males
shall belong to hwhy. 13 And
you shall redeem every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) of
a donkey on a lamb; and if you will
not redeem, and
you shall neck break him: and every firstborn of Adam in your
midst,
you shall redeem.
14 And shall be, when your
son asks you at a later time, to say, What is this? And you shall say
to him, On the Strong Hand, hwhy brought us
out from Egypt,
from the house of slaves: 15 And was, when
Pharaoh
was hardened to send us away, and hwhy killed every firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Adam, and unto the
firstborn

ones) opening

the womb; and I redeem every firstborn of my sons.
16 And
shall be for a Sign upon your hand, and for Frontlets between your
eyes: for on a Strong Hand, hwhy brought us out from
Egypt.
Notice that Moses didn't say "If your son asks you...", but this was
more of
a command to the fathers to tell their sons why they are celebrating
the Passover without being asked.
Notice that in verses five through
eight of this week's Torah portion passage,
Moses commanded the fathers to summarize the
Passover as compared to the previous chapter of this
week's Torah portion to their sons for future
generations, because as I mentioned before, hwhy did this for all of us, including
us as believers in Yeshua.
Notice also in verse nine of this week's Torah portion passage that the
Torah, in this case the Passover
account answered by the father, is female by saying "she" may be in
your mouth.
This
compares
with this account, which is noted in the Torah portion of Va-Ethkhanan,
in the book of
Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy
6:4 Hear, Israel: hwhy our Elohim, hwhy is One:
5 and you shall
love ta-hwhy, your Elohim, in all of your
heart, and in all of your soul, and in all of your might.
6 And
shall be these words which I command you upon your heart today:
7 and you shall
sharpen (pierce, prick)
them to your sons, and shall speak on
them in your dwelling in your house, and in your walking in the way,
and in your lying down, and in your rising. 8 And you shall
bind
them for a Sign upon your hand, and they shall be for Frontlets between
your eyes, 9 and you shall write them upon the doorposts on your
house,
and on your gates.
The reason hwhy said this,
because it is an act of our protection, including us in Messiah
protecting us from
the enemy, HaSatan. hwhy, through the
apostle John, warned us how HaSatan is going
to "countefeit" this week's Torah portion passage regarding this
Passover account, which is noted in the book of Revelation
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld
another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a
lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all
the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them
which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was
healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come
down from the heavens on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And
deceiveth
them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he
had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on
the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the
wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto
the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast
should be killed. 16 And he causeth
all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a
mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man
might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number
of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
HaSatan "counterfeited" Yeshua as the "Counterfeit passover lamb", as
noted in this Revelation passage.
In one aspect,
this revelation has become more aware that the "World
Wide Web" is abreviated as "www", but in the Hebrew those letters are
"Vav, Vav,
Vav". The number of the Hebrew letter Vav is the number "six", which
replacing the Hebrew letter would be "Six, Six, Six".
Brad Scott of Wildbrach
Ministry noted the Six, Six, Six issue in verse eighteen of this
Revelation passage that in the Greek text
where it says "six, six, six", it is three
Greek letters: Khai, Xzee, and Stigma
xcj
Brad Scott of Wildbrach Ministry and Bill
Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries
noted that based on the Hebrew text, the two outer letters
make up one word on the outside, while the letters in the middle make
up the account of the inner meaning of that word. A good example of
this is Pharaoh's name himself, spelled Peh, Resh, Ayin, Heh (herp). Brad Scott noted
by taking the
two
outer Hebrew letters of Pharaoh's name and we get "Peh" (hp), which is
translated as "mouth". Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries and
Brad Scott continues by taking
the two Hebrew letters inside, and it makes the word
"Ra" (er), and this word
is
commonly translated as "evil". By that, the the Hebrew name of Pharaoh
is translated as "the Mouth of Evil". In this case
of
these
three Greek letters, it will be a little different calculation. Brad
Scott revealed that the two outer letters, Khai and Stigma (x-j) is the first
and last letters for the Greek version of the name of Messiah which is
"Christos" (xristoj). The Greek
word below shows the two Greek outer letters colored in green
xristoj
Brad continues noting that the middle letter "Xzee" (c) is a pictorial
representation of a "serpent standing upright". It is colored it in red
below
c
Brad stated that what these three letters together are saying is that
HaSatan, "the Serpent" will portray himself as "the False
Messiah", also known as "the Anti-Messiah", or as Yeshua would most
likely call
"HaSatan", which is based on the
Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 7:15 Beware of
false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves.
This is the result of the three Greek letters together with the same
colors

Looking at the two
elements in this week's Torah portion passage which hwhy said to place
them:
THE RIGHT HAND
Continuing, adding my two cents, hwhy Kl
bdk, is that the
mark of the beast is to be placed on the hand, which the "right hand"
representing the
"strong hand", like Yeshua sitting at the right hand of the Father,
which
Yeshua noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 26:64 Yeshua saith
unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall
ye see the Son of Man sitting on the Right Hand of Power, and coming in
the clouds of the heavens.
HaSatan wants to imitate that to be "the Counterfeit Right Hand"
or "the
False Oath" for a person's right hand, to the
world who does not believe in the Messiah during the Seven Years
Tribulation by
taking away their "strength" and submitting their strength to HaSatan.
BETWEEN THE EYES
Also, the Memorial between the eyes is where our "spiritual
eye", also known as our "single eye" is located. When HaSatan wants the
mark to optionally be placed on the
forehead, HaSatan wants it to cover "the spiritual single eye", because
that is
where the spiritual single eye is located. This act will
hinder one's spiritual single eye from discerning and seeing the
spiritual
truth regarding the true Messiah, and will cause one's hindered
spiritual single
eye to
be in
submission to HaSatan.
This mark of the beast will be used in financial transactions, whether
at stores or online. Noting this by the prophet Daniel, which is noted
in his book
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O
Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the
end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
The increase in knowledge is the "technology" that we have seen booming
since the 1990s, in which the world has now become a dominiant
"techno-society" instead of an agricultural society that had existed
throughout most of human history.
Today, a computer has "touch screens". I would not
be surprised that the next step will be that monitors will be able to
be programmed to scan the mark of the beast on their forehead (between
the eyes) or the right hand, to make a financial transaction without
going through the process without typing all the person's card
information and their personal information. Just show the mark, and it
will be sufficient.
In December 2015, the banking card industry has just
added a "chip" to their cards. It is a thin plated chip, which they
say, is to provide more security, and people are now required to carry
these bank cards. This is just "one step shy" to putting a "chip" on
humans- most likely on the right hand or on the forehead. This
technology has gone stratospherically through the roof, at a lightning
speed rate. It will not be long before it is required on humans.
In 2016, a national news
network did a story on national news in which a company has the ability
to store health records in computer chips, and in New York City, some
people have now implanted those chips with their health records "in
their hand". To me, it proves to us that we are
nearing the sunset to start the Daniel's last Seven Years of this age.
In
July of 2017, a United
States company called Three Sqare Market in
Wisconsin became the first to offer an option for their employees to
have the micro chip in their hands to purchase in the company's break
room. The micro chip has already been applied in western European
countries. It won't be long before it will be "mandatory" for everyone
to have this "techno-mark" of the beast, which in my opinion could be a
robotic image of the first beast.
In January 23, 2018 Amazon Go of Amazon has put out a grocery store
using "cashless registers" in Seattle, Washington, where there are no
grocery lines, registers and "human cashiers". Just one step closer to
a "cashless society" and for the Anti-Messiah to come into play.
One thing which I give hwhy the praise and
the glory, hwhy revealed this
to me which is based in the Torah portion
of B'reyshith,
in the book of Genesis
Genesis 1:26 And Elohim
said, We will make Adam in Our Image according to Our
Likeness, and shall rule among
the fishes of
the sea, and among the birds of
the Heavens, and among the animals, and among all of the Earth, and
among
all
creepers that
creep upon the Earth. 27
And Elohim created ta-the Adam in
His Image,
created him in the Image of
Elohim, created them male (remembered one) and female.... 2:7 And hwhy Elohim
formed (fashioned, molded) ta-the Adam of
dust from the Ground, and blew
(puffed, inflate) in his nostrils the Breath (Blast) of Life, and
became the Adam of a
living soul.
In other words, HaSatan would be "imitating" what hwhy did for Adam by
doing the similar thing in the end times to the second beast, which
could be to bring life to a "robot", or HaSatan could imitate the same
method by making a human being out of dirt and putting life into it.
During the Daniel's last seven years during the Tribulation period,
there will be 144,000 people
who will bear the seal of hwhy, which is noted
by the apostle
John in the book of Revelation
Revelation 7:2 And I saw
another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living
Elohim: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it
was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth,
neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our
Elohim in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of them which
were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four
thousand of all the tribes of the Children of Israel.
In my humble opinion, the 144,000 marked during the seven years are not
the current believers alive on the earth, because there are more than
144,000 believers who are currently alive on the earth.
This is what happens to those who take on the mark of the beast during
Daniel's last seven years of this age during the Tribulation, which is
noted in the apostle John's book
of Revelation
Revelation 14:9 And the third
angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worships the
beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his
hand, 10 The same shall drink of the Wine of the Wrath of hwhy, which is poured out without
mixture into the Cup of His Indignation; and he shall be tormented with
fire and brimstone in the presence of the Holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb:
Revelation 9:1 And
the
fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from the heavens unto the
earth:
and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he
opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as
the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by
reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the
smoke
locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions
of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they
should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing,
neither any tree; but only those men which have not the Seal
of hwhy in
their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should
not
kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their
torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find
it;
and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And
the
shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and
on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were
as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and
their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had
breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their
wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were
stings
in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Pray that those who are left on the earth, especially family members,
who are smart enough to not take this mark when this period begins.
In verse ten of
this week's Torah portion passage, it says "her" Appointed Times. This
shows us that any Appointed Time is "female", whether it is the High
Holy Days, or hwhy's Personal
Calling for us as believers in Yeshua, to do something, or just to talk
to Him about anything, or just to talk to Him as our Heavenly Father,
and just chit chat, etc.
Verses eleven through thirteen
11 And shall be
when hwhy shall bring you to the
land of the Canaanites as the which was sworn to you and to your
fathers,
and
gives her to you, 12
and you will go over every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) of the womb
for hwhy,
and of every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) ejected of an animal which
belong to
you; the
males
shall belong to hwhy. 13 And
you shall redeem every opener (burster forth, cleaver
forth) of
a donkey on a lamb; and if you will
not redeem, and
you shall neck break him: and every firstborn of Adam in your
midst,
you shall redeem.
Moses picked up where he left off in verses one and two of this week's
Torah portion chapter regarding the
firstborn
The point is
that hwhy destroyed the
firstborn of the Egyptian peoples
as well as the animals. When Israel sacrificed the firstborn of an
animal, they are to be to given to hwhy. This act was
also to remind Israel this Exodus Passover account when hwhy slayed Egypt's
firstborn humans and animals. These are
symbolic of dedicating "the Firstborn",
who is Yeshua, our Messiah.
Indirectly related, the apostle Paul reveals the Firstborn of
all, which he noted in his letters to the assemblies in Rome and
Colossia
Romans 8:28 And we know
that all things work together for good to them that love hwhy, to them who are the called
according to His Purpose. 29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did
predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might
be the Firstborn among many brethren.
Colossians 1:9 For
this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for
you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His
Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might
walk worthy of the Lord hwhy unto all pleasing, being
fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the Knowledge of hwhy; 11 Strengthened with
all might, according to His Glorious Power, unto all patience and
longsuffering with joyfulness; 12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the
saints in Light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the Kingdom of His Dear Son: 14 In whom we
have redemption through His Blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the
image of the invisible Elohim, the Firstborn of every creature:
16 For by Him were all things created, that are in the heavens,
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones,
or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by
Him, and for Him: 17 And He is before all things, and by Him all
things consist. 18 And He is the
Head of the Body, the Assembly: who is the Beginning, the Firstborn
from the Dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.
Today, we in Messiah can redeem our firstborns by
dedicating them to our Heavenly Father in the name of Yeshua.
Notice
in verse eleven of this week's Torah portion passage that the word
"you"
is bold in pink. In the Hebrew text, the you is in the feminine gender.
This tell us that Moses was speaking to People's "soul", in which the
soul is feminine, which is noted in the Torah portion of Akharey Moth,
in the book of Leviticus
Leviticus 17:11 for a
soul of
the flesh, she is in the blood:...
But also notice that in the Hebrew text it is in the "singular"
pronoun. It means that Moses was speaking to the "soul of Israel".
!!!hwhy
Kl
bdk
Verses fourteen through sixteen
14 And shall be, when your
son asks you at a later time, to say, What is this? And you shall say
to him, On the Strong Hand, hwhy brought us
out from Egypt,
from the house of slaves: 15 And was, when
Pharaoh
was hardened to send us away, and hwhy killed every firstborn in
the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Adam, and unto the
firstborn
of animals: Upon thus, I sacrifice to hwhy all of the males (remembered
ones) opening
(bursting forth, cleaving forth)
the womb; and I redeem every firstborn of my sons. 16 And
shall be for a Sign upon your hand, and for Frontlets between your
eyes: for on a Strong Hand, hwhy brought us out from
Egypt.
This
is the second issue that Moses brought up for the fathers to answer for
their sons' "Second Question" as compared to the "First Question" in
the
previous chapter of this week's Torah portion
Exodus
12:25 And shall be,
when
you come to the land
which hwhy will give
to you as the which
was spoken, and you
shall keep (guard, observe) ta-this Service. 26 And
shall be, when your
sons, they shall say to
you, What is this
service to you? 27
And you shall say, He
is the
Passover Sacrifice to hwhy which passed over the
houses
of the Sons of Israel in Egypt, in His goreing (stumbling)
ta-Egypt, and delivered
(rescued) ta-our houses. And the
People bowed, and they worshipped.
When the father dedicates the firstborn, whether a human or an animal,
he can answer his son to this question in which it goes back to the
Tenth
Plague where hwhy killed the
firstborn of the Egyptian humans and animals, and what the father would
be doing would be to give thanks
to hwhy by offering
their first born for a Memorial.
Hebraic Roots/Messianic teachers agree that when it says that hwhy delievered "us"
out of Egypt, He did so, literally and spiritually as well as us in
Yeshua. We were there in Egypt and were symbolically there by being in
the Egyptian world, and it is to be a Remembrance for all
of us.
I have seen programs in the past where hosts say to the point "Well
this is 2015. Times have changed'. But as for Yeshua it is not, which
is noted the apostle Paul's book of Hebrews
Hebrews 13:8
Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
The Word stays the same, and His Word, or His "Yeshua, the Living
Word", has not changed, is not changing, and will never change.
Ending, there is a chart by Mark
Biltz of El Shaddai
Ministries in which he notes his version of the Ten Plagues to
the
Egyptian deities. He relates the Triune Elohim to these plagues. Not
all of the deities Mark Biltz relates to in each of the plagues is the
same as mine, but it is
quite interesting. Just right click on the link below and choose "Save
