CHAPTER 1
Leviticus 1:1-17

Lev 1:1 And called to Moses, and hwhy spoke to him from the Tent of Appointment, to say, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When an Adam from you shall bring near a Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) to hwhy from the animal, from the herd, and from the flock, you shall bring near ta-your Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering).

3 If an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) of his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) shall be from the herd, shall be a perfect remembered one (male): shall bring him near to the Entance of the Tent of Appointment, shall bring him near by his desire (pleasure, delight) to the Face of hwhy. 4 And shall support (lay) his hand upon (over) the head of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering); and shall be accepted by him to atone upon him. 5 And shall slaughter ta-the son of the herd to the Face of hwhy: and the sons of Aaron, the Priests, they shall bring near ta-the blood, and they shall strew (sprinkle) ta-the blood upon (over) the Altar all around which is at the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment, 6 and shall strip away (skin away) ta-the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) and dismember (fragment, piece, part) her to her fragments (pieces, parts). 7 And the sons of Aaron, the Priest, shall give fire upon the Altar, and they shall arrange the trees (wood) upon the fire: 8 And the sons of Aaron, the Priests, they shall arrange ta the fragments (pieces, parts); ta-the head, and ta-the pader-fat, upon the trees (wood) that is upon the fire, which is upon the Altar: 9 And his nearest parts (inwards) and his shoulder legs (lower shoulder legs) shall be washed in the water: and the Priest shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) ta-the wholeness to the Altar of an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), of a Fire Offering of a pleasant scent to hwhy.

10 And if his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) from the flock shall be from the sheep or shall be from the kids (kid goats) for an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering); shall bring near a perfect remembered one (male), 11 and shall slaughter him upon the thigh (side, testacle?) of the Altar hiddenward (northward) to the Face of hwhy: and the sons of Aaron, the Priests, they shall strew (sprinkle) ta-his blood upon the Altar all around. 12 And shall dismember (fragment, piece, part) him to his fragments (pieces, parts), and ta-his head and ta-his pader-fat: and the Priest shall arrange them upon the trees (wood) which is upon the fire, which is upon the Altar: 13 And shall wash the nearset parts (inwards) and the shoulder legs (lower shoulder legs) in the water: and the Priests shall bring near ta-the wholeness, and shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) to the Altar: He is an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), of a Fire Offering of a pleasant scent to hwhy.

14 And if the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) of his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) to hwhy shall be from the fowls, and shall bring near from the turtledoves or from the sons of a dove ta-his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering). 15 And the Priests, they shall bring near to the Altar, and wring off (nip off) ta-his head, and shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) to the Altar; and shall drain (squeeze) his blood upon the side of the Altar: 16 And shall remove ta-his crop (craw) among her feathers, and shall throw (cast, send) her beside the Altar eastward to the place of the fat ashes: 17 And shall cleave (split, rent) him on his wings, shall not be divided (separated): and the Priests shall incense, (smoke, fumigate, burn) him to the Altar upon the trees (wood) which is upon the fire: He is an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), of a Fire Offering of a pleasant scent to hwhy.


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments).


Verses one and two

1 And called to Moses, and hwhy spoke to him from the Tent of Appointment, to say, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When an Adam from you shall bring near a Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) to hwhy from the animal, from the herd, and from the flock, you shall bring near ta-your Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering).

The word "called" in the Hebrew text is "vay-yeek-rah"- Vav, Yod, Kuph, Resh, Aleph (arqyw), which in the English translation is "and called", but in the Hebrew text, this Hebrew word has a small "Aleph" at the end of the word.



On www.shortvort.com on an article titled "Vayikra and the Small Aleph - Moshe's Humility (Mishlei)" by Eli Gaventa, this is what he noted from a Rashi:

"(An interesting side point is that because Moshe wanted to write Vayikar, Hashem lovingly called him close – R’Simcha Bunim offered the following insight into how one might be able to maintain our humility even if we were to reach the heights that Moshe did: “A person standing at the peak of the mountain realizes that he is not really taller than everyone else; it is the mountain that holds him high. We should recognize that our achievements are not of our own doing – Hashem holds us up and grants them to us.)".

Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted the small Aleph in his July 2004 Yavoh magazine, under the article "The Jots and Tittles of Moses":

"The letter aleph means strength. It is a picture of an ox's head, the strongest animal they used in the ancient times. A small aleph means the opposite. Simply said, when God calls a man, the man's strength must be made small. John the Baptist said it in this way "I must be made weak, so that He can be made strong.""


Adding my comment to this that the small Aleph in the Paleo-Hebrew is an ox, a representaion of a strong head. The small Aleph would indicate a strong little head, and this little head refers to the man, Moses, who is the "strong head" for the Israelite People, and the strong head on earth for  hwhy. Moses, as a "strong little head", would be the symbol of Yeshua, to be the "Strong Little Head" on earth, who becomes our Strong Little Head to lead us as believers to live for Him, so that we may be strong in Him. This is what the Prophet Isaiah noted in his book

Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting Elohim, hwhy, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth Power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon hwhy shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that the first verse of this week's Torah portion passage starts with the phrase "and called...", and noted that this was a continuation from Exodus chapter forty.

Looking at the word CALLED

The Hebrew word for called is "kah-rah"- Kuph, Resh, Aleph (arq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7121, and its definition

A primitive root (rather identical with H7122 through the idea of accosting a person met); to call out to (that is, properly address by name, but used in a wide variety of applications): - bewray [self], that are bidden, call (for, forth, self, upon), cry (unto), (be) famous, guest, invite, mention, (give) name, preach, (make) proclaim (-ation), pronounce, publish, read, renowned, say.

This is where we get our modern English word "cry" as in crying out to say, or announce something.

Question: "What is a Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) noted in verse two of this week's Torah portion passage"?

Looking at the word KARBAN OFFERING (DRAWING NEAR OFFERING, GIFT OFFERING)

The Hebrew word for Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) is "kahr-bahn"- Kuph, Resh, Ben, Nun Sophit (Nbrq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7133, and its definition

From H7126; something brought near the altar, that is, a sacrificial present: - oblation, that is offered, offering.

from 7126 "kah-rahv" (brq), and its definition

A primitive root; to approach (causatively bring near) for whatever purpose: - (cause to) approach, (cause to) bring (forth, near), (cause to) come (near, nigh), (cause to) draw near (nigh), go (near), be at hand, join, be near, offer, present, produce, make ready, stand, take.

This is where we get our modern English word "carbon", as the burned up food element that is built up in time, like charcoal. This is common in commercial fast food restaurant cooking grills.

This is commonly translated in the English versions as "offering". One definition of the Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) is a "general present", or a "gift" offering to hwhy. The Karban Offering could apply to both "atoning sin offerings" and "non-atoning sin offerings" to hwhy. In other words, it is not just related to offer something based on one's own sins.

Ephraim Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted that it is a "voluntary offering". This offering is well documented in the time of Yeshua, and Yeshua used the Karban (Gift) Offering in his argument against the Pharisees, which is noted in the Gospel of Mark

Mark 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why walk not Thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? 6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This People honoureth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the Commandment of hwhy, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And He said unto them, Full well ye reject the Commandment of hwhy, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban [Karban (Gift) Offering], that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the Word of hwhy of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Looking at the Brith Khadashah word CORBON

The Greek word for Corbon is "kohr-bahn" (korban), It is from Strong's Concordance number 2878, and its definition

Of Hebrew and Chaldee origin respectively [H7133]; a votive offering and the offering; a consecrated present (to the Temple fund); by extension (the latter term) the Treasury itself, that is, the room where the contribution boxes stood: - Corban, treasury.

This Gospel account Yeshua noted shows us that the basic understanding of the Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) is a "gift" in this week's Torah portion passage.

There is another account of the Karban (Gift, Drawing Near) Offering that hwhy revealed to me recenty, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the Altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the Altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Though it doesn't say it, this gift is a Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering).

In this week's Torah portion passage, the other Hebrew word "kah-rav" is applied in this verse two which is translated as "bring", but in the Hebrew text, it is "kahreev", with a Yod (byrq)

2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When an Adam from you shall bring near (byrq) a Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) (Nbrq) to hwhy from the animal, from the herd, and from the flock, you shall bring near (byrq) ta-your Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) (Nbrq).

Ephraim Judah also noted that the Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) is an act to "draw near" to hwhy, whether by sin offerings or non-sin offerings. Thank you Ephraim.



Verse three

3 If an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) of his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) shall be from the herd, shall be a perfect remembered one (male): shall bring him near to the Entance of the Tent of Appointment, shall bring him near by his desire (pleasure, delight) to the Face of hwhy.

hwhy is revealing to us that the Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) are Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings).

Looking at the word ELEVATION OFFERING (ASCENSION OFFERING, BURNT OFFERING)

The Hebrew word for Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) is "oh-lah"- Ayin, Lamed, Heh (hle). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5930, and its definition

Feminine active participle of H5927; a step or (collectively stairs, as ascending); usually a holocaust (as going up in smoke): - ascent, burnt offering (sacrifice), go up to. See also H5766.

from 5927 "ah-lah" (hle), and its definition

A primitive root; to ascend, intransitively (be high) or active (mount); used in a great variety of senses, primary and secondary, literally and figuratively: - arise (up). (cause to) ascend up, at once, break [the day] (up), bring (up), (cause to) burn, carry up, cast up, + shew, climb (up), (cause to, make to) come (up), cut off, dawn, depart, exalt, excel, fall, fetch up, get up, (make to) go (away, up), grow (over), increase, lay, leap, levy, lift (self) up, light, [make] up, X mention, mount up, offer, make to pay, + perfect, prefer, put (on), raise, recover, restore, (make to) rise (up), scale, set (up), shoot forth (up), (begin to) spring (up), stir up, take away (up), work.

This is where get our modern English word "elevate".

Also, the Elevation (Ascension, Burnt) Offering is a Fire Offering, as we will see throughout the different Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings) in this week's Torah portion chapter.

According to Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries, the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) is based on one's affordabilaty by giving the best offering they can afford. In other words, a rich person can afford a calf (bullock)- the most wealthy animal of livestock, wheras a poor person cannot.

I give credit to Mark Biltz for revealing these. This is the pre-existing accounts of the Karban Offerings (Drawing Near Offerings, Gift Offerings) of Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), which are Fire Offerings. One was done by Abel, which is noted in the Torah portion of B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 4:1And the Adam knew ta-Khavah (Eve), his woman; and she conceived, and she birthed ta-Cain, and she said, I have gotten a man of ta-hwhy. 2 And she added to the birthing of ta-his brother, ta-Abel. And Abel became a shepherd of flocks, and Cain became a servant (tiller) of the Ground. 3 And was from the end of days, and Cain brought from the fruit of the Ground a Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) to hwhy. 4 and Abel, he also brought from the firstlings of his flocks and from their kheylev-fat. And hwhy had respect to Abel and to his Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering, Apportion Offering):

Though it doesn't say it, what Abel did was a Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) which is an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), a type of Fire Offering, to hwhy.

After the flood, Noah offered a Karban (Gift, Drawing Near) Offering, an Elevation (Ascension, Burnt) Offering, which is noted in the Torah portion of Noakh, in the book of Genesis.

Genesis 8:14 And in the second renewed month, on the seven and twenty day of the renewed month, the Earth was abased (dry), 15 and Elohim spoke to Noah, to say, 16 Go out from the ark, you, and your woman, and your sons, and the wives of your sons with you. 17 All of the living things which is with you of all flesh among flyers (fowl), and among animals, and among all creepers that creep upon the Earth, bring out with you; and they will swarm (breed) on the Earth, and they shall fructify and they shall multiply upon the Earth. 18 And Noah went out, and his sons, and his woman, and the wives of his sons with him: 19 all of the beasts (living things), and all of the creepers, and all of the flyers (fowl), of all creeping upon the Earth, they came out from the ark by their families. 20 And Noah built an altar to hwhy; and took from all of the clean animals, and from all of the clean flyers (fowl), and elevated Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings) on the altar. 21 And hwhy smelled ta-a pleasant scent; and hwhy said in His Heart, I will not add (again) to curse ta-the Ground any more on the sake of the Adam (Adamkind); for the imagination (conception, form) of the heart of the Adam (Adamkind) is evil from his youth; and I will not add (again) to smite ta-every living thing any more as the which I have done. 22 Unto all of the days of the Earth of seedtime and of harvest, and cold and the heat, and summer (harvest) and the winter (ripeness), and day and the night, shall not repose (desist, rest, relax).

Another Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering), an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), was done by Abraham when he was told to sacrifice his son, Isaac, at Mount Moriah, which is noted in the Torah portion of Vay-Yeyra, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 22:1 And was after these words, and The Elohim tested (tempted) ta-Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, I. 2 And said, Take now ta-your son, ta-your only one, ta-Isaac, which you love, and go of you to the land of the Moriah; and elevate him there for an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) upon one of the mountains which I will say to you. 3 And Abraham arose early (woke up, loaded up, started up) in the breaking period (morning), and saddled ta-his donkey, and took ta-two of his young men with him, and ta Isaac his son, and cleaved (rent, broke up) the trees (wood) of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and arose, and went to the place of which The Elohim had said to him.

4 In the third day, and Abraham lifted up ta-his eyes, and saw ta-the place from a distance (afar off). 5 And Abraham said to his young men, Dwell to you here with the donkey; and I and the young man, we will go unto thus, and we will worship, and we will return to you. 6 And Abraham took ta-the trees (wood) of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and was set (put, laid) upon Isaac, his son; and took ta-the fire, and ta-the knife in his hand; and the two of them, they went together.

7 And Isaac said to Abraham his father, and said, My father: and said, Behold I, my son. And said, Behold the fire and the trees (woods): and where is the lamb for the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering)? 8 And Abraham said, Elohim will see for Himself the lamb for the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), my son: and the two of them, they went together. 9 And they came to the place which The Elohim said to him; and Abraham built there ta-the altar, and arranged ta-the trees (woods), and bound (tied up) ta-Isaac, his son, and set (put) him upon the altar from upon by the trees (woods). 10 And Abraham stretched out (sent forth) ta-his hand, and took ta-the knife to slaughter (slay) ta-his son. 11 And the Messenger of hwhy called to him from the Heavens, and said, Abraham! Abraham!: and said, Behold I. 12 And said, Do you not strech out (send forth) your hand upon the young man, and you not do to him any thing: for now I know that you are a reverer (fearer, awer) of Elohim, and you have not withheld (restrained, spared, held back) ta-your son, ta-your only one, from Me. 13 And Abraham lifted up ta-his eyes, and looked, and behold, a ram behind was caught seized (caught, entangled) in a thicket among his horns: and Abraham went and took ta-the ram, and elevated him for an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Yehowah Yireh: which is said today (the day), shall be seen in the Mountain of hwhy.

This week's Torah portion chapters shows the various Karban (Gift, Drawing Near) Offerings, which are also Elevation (Ascension, Burnt) Offerings that are Fire Offerings. All of the offerings are placed on the Copper Altar, which is noted in the Torah portion of T'rumah, in the book of Genesis

THE COPPER ALTAR

Exodus 27:1 And you shall do (make) ta-the Altar of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia)[shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood], shall be five cubits long, and five cubits wide; the Altar shall be square: and three cubits shall be his height. 2 And you shall do (make) his Horns upon (over) his four angles (corners): from him, they shall be his Horns: and you will overlay (sheet over) him of copper.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE COPPER ALTAR

Shittim Wood: Man, also could be Scourging and Piercing and Lashing
Copper: Humanity, Man, Judgment, Suffering-(source: maranathalife.com)

The Copper Altar, in U.S. measurements is 8 1/2 feet long, 8 1/2 feet wide and 4 1/2 feet high.


THE COPPER ALTAR'S UTENSILS

Exodus 27:3 And you will do (make) his Pans (Pots) for his fat ashes, and his Shovels, and his Sprinkling Bowls (Sacrificial Bowls), and his Fleshhooks, and his Firepans (Coal Removal Pans, Snuffdishes): all of his Vessels you will do (make) of copper.

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE COPPER ALTAR'S UTENSILS

Copper: Man, Judgment, Suffering-(source: maranathalife.com)

This is symbolized of Yeshua's act to use "His Utensils" to clean out  the "soot" and "ashes" of the Jewish Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and Lawyers from their "false doctrine" of man. It could also mean that Yeshua cleanses the soot and ashes of the sin in our lives as believers.

This is a an image of the possible item patterns of the utensils for the Copper Altar




THE COPPER ALTAR GRILL

Exodus 27:4 And you will do (make) for him a Grill Cover (Grate Cover), a doing (making) of a Net, of copper; and upon the Net, you will do (make) four Rings of copper upon (over) his four Ends (Edges). 5 And you will give her under the rim of the Altar from by beneath (downward), and the Net, she shall be unto the halfway of the Altar. 6 And you shall do (make) Poles for the Altar, Poles of trees (wood) of shittim (acacia) [shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood], and you will overlay (sheet over) them of copper. 7 And ta-his Poles shall enter in the Rings, and the Poles, they shall be upon (over) the two ribs (sides) of the Altar in carrying (bearing, lifting up) him. 8 You will do (make) him of hollow polished Boards: as the which was shown you on the Mountain, so they shall be done (made).

THE SYMBOLIC MEANINGS OF THE COPPER ALTAR GRILL

Shittim Wood: Man, also could be Scourging and Piercing and Lashing
Copper: Humanity, Man, Judgment, Suffering-(source: maranathalife.com)

Based on the measurements of the Copper Altar, it is, in U.S. measurements, almost 8 1/2 feet long, 8 1/2 feet wide

This is like is criss-cross grill, like the grill on a barbecue grill to let the ashes of the sacrifice fall through. If one can say it, this is the oldest recording of a barbecue grill. This is symbolic of Yeshua in an act to "filter" out the ashes of the doctrine of man via the Jewish Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and Lawyers from their "false doctrine" of man. It is symbolic to filter out the ashes of the sin in our lives as believers.

This is an image of a possible pattern of the Copper Altar with grill and the poles



The purpose of the blood sprinkled around the Copper Altar is a representation of having the blood covering our sins of our suffering and to cover our mortal bodies, for copper represents suffering and man. This is an act of Yeshua covering our body as believers by His blood for our sins.

This is the Copper Altar where all the various sacrifices will be offered.



Looking into the various Karban (Gift, Drawing Near) Offerings, which are the Elevation Offerings, throughout this week's Torah portion chapter:



Verses three through nine

3 If an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) of his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) shall be from the herd, shall be a perfect remembered one (male): shall bring him near to the Entance of the Tent of Appointment, shall bring him near by his desire (pleasure, delight) to the Face of hwhy. 4 And shall support (lay) his hand upon (over) the head of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering); and shall be accepted by him to atone upon him. 5 And shall slaughter ta-the son of the herd to the Face of hwhy: and the sons of Aaron, the Priests, they shall bring near ta-the blood, and they shall strew (sprinkle) ta-the blood upon (over) the Altar all around which is at the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment, 6 and shall strip away (skin away) ta-the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) and dismember (fragment, piece, part) her to her fragments (pieces, parts). 7 And the sons of Aaron, the Priest, shall give fire upon the Altar, and they shall arrange the trees (wood) upon the fire: 8 And the sons of Aaron, the Priests, they shall arrange ta the fragments (pieces, parts); ta-the head, and ta-the pader-fat, upon the trees (wood) that is upon the fire, which is upon the Altar: 9 And his nearest parts (inwards) and his shoulder legs (lower shoulder legs) shall be washed in the water: and the Priest shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) ta-the wholeness to the Altar of an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), of a Fire Offering of a pleasant scent to hwhy.

A: A PERFECT MALE OF THE HERD OF HIS DESIRE

1. Take it to the Entrance of Tent of Appointment.
2. Put his hand on it and be accepted for atonement.
3. The man kills it in front of Aaron's sons.
4. Aaron's sons bring the blood to the Altar and sprinkle it around it.
5. The man skins it and cuts it to pieces.
6. Aaron's sons put wood on the Altar and makes a fire.
7. Aaron's sons arrange the head, parts, and pader-fat on the wood.
8. Its innards and legs are washed in water.
9. The Priests incense it on the Altar.

NOTES
*It is Aaron's sons that does the majority of the work.
*The man does the killing, the cutting and the washing.
*The priests that burns it is not mentioned as Aaron's sons.


Looking at the word PADER-FAT

The Hebrew word for pader-fat is "pah-dehr"- Peh, Dalet, Resh (rdp). It is from the Strong's Concordance number 6309, and its definition

From an unused root meaning to be greasy; suet: - fat.

This is where we get our modern English word "butter".

This is the fat in general on an animal. It does not specify the areas where the fat is located as compared to the other kind of fat, which we will see later in this week's Torah portion.


Looking at the word FIRE OFFERING

The Hebrew word for Fire Offering is "ee-shah"- Aleph, Shin, Heh (hsa). It is from Strong's Concordance number 801, and its definition

The same as H800, but used in a liturgical sense; properly a burnt offering; but occasionally of any sacrifice: - (offering, sacrifice), (made) by fire.

from 800 "eh-shah" (hsa), and its definition

Feminine of H784; fire: - fire.

from 784 "eysh" (sa), and its definition

A primitive word; fire (literally or figuratively): - burning, fiery, fire, flaming, hot.

This is where we get our modern English word "ash".

It was neccessary for the animal to be burned in the fire. For us believers in Messiah, the Fire Offering represents "a purifying process" to be symbolically "cleansed" from our own sins, and be sinless in our Heavenly Father's eyes.

Indirectly related, the apostle Paul noted that they who do their own works will meet Yeshua will have their works on earth tried in the fire, which is noted in his letter to the assembly in Corinth

1 Corinthians 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

In relation with the Fire Offering to purify one's own sin, this fire is an act to reveal the works of man whether they were godly or worldly, and this act in this Epistle passage will purify the works by destroying the worldly acts through the items noted, which an example in today's society would be the worldly events.

Looking at the word SHOULDER LEG (LOWER SHOULDER LEG)

The Hebrew word for shoulder legs (lower shoulder legs) 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.

Verses ten through thirteen

10 And if his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) from the flock shall be from the sheep or shall be from the kids (kid goats) for an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering); shall bring near a perfect remembered one (male), 11 and shall slaughter him upon the thigh (side, testacle?) of the Altar hiddenward (northward) to the Face of hwhy: and the sons of Aaron, the Priests, they shall strew (sprinkle) ta-his blood upon the Altar all around. 12 And shall dismember (fragment, piece, part) him to his fragments (pieces, parts), and ta-his head and ta-his pader-fat: and the Priest shall arrange them upon the trees (wood) which is upon the fire, which is upon the Altar: 13 And shall wash the nearset parts (inwards) and the shoulder legs (lower shoulder legs) in the water: and the Priests shall bring near ta-the wholeness, and shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) to the Altar: He is an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), of a Fire Offering of a pleasant scent to hwhy.

B: FROM THE FLOCK- A PERFECT MALE FROM THE LAMBS OR THE GOATS OF HIS DESIRE

This is the same format as the son of the herd, but the man kills it on the north side of the Altar.

NOTES
*These are the only animals mentioned to be placed on a certain side of the altar, which is located at the east side.

This is a similar offering that hwhy allowed Abraham to use a ram, an adult sheep, in the Elevation Offering as I noted earlier. hwhy did not require a ram in the Commandment. This is an idea what an Elevation Offering gift is like back in the day.

Question: "Why was the son of the lamb or the goats killed on the east side of the Copper Altar? Was it because it was related to the fact that the lamb or the kid was first sacrificed in general which was the Passover sacrifice"? If this is so, the other purpose of the east is symbolic of the times of old, or first times, which in this case the lamb or the kid of the goat was the first sacrifice in times of old. That is why the sheep and the goat was killed on the east side.

Also, it can be said that the lamb or the kid was facing the Altar from the east toward which they would be killed toward the Tabernacle. This is the same situation that Yeshua faced when He was crucified at the cross looking toward the Temple from the Mount of Olives from the East side, which was the entrance side.



Verses fourteen through seventeen

14 And if the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) of his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) to hwhy shall be from the fowls, and shall bring near from the turtledoves or from the sons of a dove ta-his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering). 15 And the Priests, they shall bring near to the Altar, and wring off (nip off) ta-his head, and shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) to the Altar; and shall drain (squeeze) his blood upon the side of the Altar: 16 And shall remove ta-his crop (craw) among her feathers, and shall throw (cast, send) her beside the Altar eastward to the place of the fat ashes: 17 And shall cleave (split, rent) him on his wings, shall not be divided (separated): and the Priests shall incense, (smoke, fumigate, burn) him to the Altar upon the trees (wood) which is upon the fire: He is an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), of a Fire Offering of a pleasant scent to hwhy.

C: FOWLS- FROM THE TWO TURTLEDOVES OR THE SONS OF THE DOVE OF HIS DESIRE

1. Priests takes it to the Altar.
2. A Priest wrings its neck.
3. A Priest burns its head as incense on the Altar.
4. A Priest lets its blood drain over the side of the Altar.
5. A Priest removes its crop and feathers
6. A Priest throws them near the East side of the altar
7. A Priest holds its plucked feathers without dividing it.
8. A Priest burns it as incense on the wood on the Altar.

NOTES
*The crop of the bird is feminine, not the feathers. The crop is thrown at the side of the Altar.
*Instead of the fowl's head burning with the rest of its body, it is burnt first, separately, from the rest of the body.

SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE HERD/FLOCK/FOWLS

Herd/Flock/Fowl: Yeshua

Regarding the Karban Offering in giving the best of one's gift of this week's Torah portion chapter, Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries related it to this account of Yeshua talking about one giving the gift to the Altar who had another brother that had ought with him, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the Altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Monte Judah had a personal experience regarding two brothers during Monte's own Sukkoth gathering (a great program) at Bell Cow Lake, in Chandler, OK in 2015. Brother No. 1 wanted to get right with Brother No. 2, so he talked to him to get right with him, and gave him a bottle of wine as a gift. Later on, Brother No. 2 went to Monte and also gave him a bottle of wine as a gift. Brother No. 1 went to Monte and told him what he did to Brother No. 2 by giving him his favorite wine to him as a gift, then Monte told him what Brother No. 2 did to him. The two figured out that Brother No. 2, in many words, "rejected" Brother No. 1's gift and gave it to Monte, thus, according to Monte, Brother No. 2 "devalued" the gift. Monte had nothing to do with the bottle of wine, after he found out the story. Thank you Monte for that testimony. Also Monte Judah noted that the value of the gift is based by the "giver", and not the one who received the gift. Monte also noted when the Heavenly Father gave Yeshua as "the Gift" to the world, He gave a valuable gift that was priceless. Also, the apostle Paul recalled the account of Abel giving a more pleasing gift to hwhy than Cain, which is noted in the book of the Hebrews

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto hwhy a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, hwhy testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

This is the account taken from the Torah portion of B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis, which I noted earlier.

By the way, anyone know why Cain's offering was not accepted by hwhy? I'll give you a hint. It is like the devalued gift from Brother No. 2 to Monte, which is noted in the Torah portion of B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 3:17 And said to the Adam, For you listened to the voice of your woman, and you ate from the Tree, which I commanded you, to say, You shall not eat from him: cursed is the Ground on your transition (going over, account); you shall eat her in sorrow (worrisomeness, grief) all of the days of your life; 18 and thorns and thistles, she shall sprout forth to you; and you shall eat ta-the herbs of the field; 19 on the perspiring (sweat) of your nose (nostril) you shall eat bread, until you return to the Ground; for from her you were taken: for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

If you were hwhy, would you accept a gift by someone who retrieved it from something that you "cursed"? No, you would not. That is why Cain's gift was not accepted nor respected. Don't forget that this occurred before the worldwide flood.



Rico Cortes of Wisdom in Torah Ministries has made available a PDF Book called "The Korban Olah: A Pictoral Guide to the Korban Olah" from M'chon Harbotzas Torah, INC.. I don't agree with everything that they say, but it is an interesting pictoral guide to this kind of offering relating to this chapter.  Click on the image below to download the book.

KORBAN OLAH

11 Any of the Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering, Apportion Offering) that you shall bring near to hwhy, you shall not do (make) of leavening: for you shall not incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) any sourdough and any thickness (honey) from him of a Fire Offering to hwhy. 12 You shall bring them near of a Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) of Firsts to hwhy: and they shall not be ascended to the Altar for a pleasant scent.

(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments).


The Karban Offerings (Drawing Near Offerings, Gift Offerings) throughout this week's Torah portion chapter empasize the Donation Offerings (Tribute Offerings, Food Offerings, Grain Offerings). The Donation (Food, Grain) Offering is commonly translated in the English Biblies as "the Meat Offering", but it commonly known in Messianic/Hebraic Roots and Jewish sources as "the Grain Offering". As we will also see in this week's Torah portion chapter that each of the Donation Offerings (Tribute Offerings, Food Offerings, Grain Offerings) is also called a Memorial (Remembrance) Offering. Also in this week's Torah portion chapter, one will see that each of the Donation Offerings (Tribute Offerings, Food Offerings, Grain Offerings) require salt. This is also a Fire Offering. These Karban Offerings (Drawing Near Offerings, Gift Offerings) are also non-atonement offerings.

Looking at the following words:

DONATION OFFERING (TRIBUTE OFFERING, FOOD OFFERING, GRAIN OFFERING)

The Hebrew word for Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) is "meen-khah"- Mem, Nun, Khet, Heh (hxnm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4503, and its definition

From an unused root meaning to apportion, that is, bestow; a donation; euphemistically tribute; specifically a sacrificial offering (usually bloodless and voluntary): - gift, oblation, (meat) offering, present, sacrifice.

After researching, there is a Hebrew word most likely connected and based to this Hebrew word:

from 5148 "nah-khah" (hxn), and its definition

A primitive root; to guide; by implication to transport (into exile, or as colonists): - bestow, bring, govern, guide, lead (forth), put, straiten.

This is where we get our modern English word "munch", in relation to "munching" on "food".

This is one possible alternative to this Hebrew word:

from 5162 "nah-khahm" (Mxn), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to sigh, that is, breathe strongly; by implication to be sorry, that is, (in a favorable sense) to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or (unfavorably) to avenge (oneself): - comfort (self), ease [one’s self], repent (-er, -ing, self).

This is one possible alternative to this Hebrew word:

from 5118 "noh-akh, noo-akh" (xwn, xwn), and its definition

From H5117; quiet: - rest (-ed, -ing place).

from 5117 "noo-akh" (xwn), and its definition

A primitive root; to rest, that is, settle down; used in a great variety of applications, literally and figuratively, intransitively, transitively and causatively (to dwell, stay, let fall, place, let alone, withdraw, give comfort, etc.): - cease, be confederate, lay, let down, (be) quiet, remain, (cause to, be at, give, have, make to) rest, set down. Compare H3241.

We as believers were led to the Messiah to be part of His Body, and He became the Tribute Offering for us to be part of His Body.

MEMORIAL (REMEMBRANCE) OFFERING

The Hebrew word for Memorial (Remembrance) Offering is "ahz-kah-rah"- Aleph, Zayin, Kaph, Resh, Heh (hrkza). It is from Strong's Concordance number 234, and its definition

From H2142; a reminder; specifically remembrance offering: - memorial.

from 2142 "zah-khahr" (rkz), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to mark (so as to be recognized), that is, to remember; by implication to mention; also (as denominative from H2145) to be male: -  X burn [incense], X earnestly, be male, (make) mention (of), be mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make to be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, X still, think on, X well.



Looking at the various Karban Offerings (Drawing Near Offerings, Gift Offerings) of the Donation Offerings (Tribute Offerings, Food Offerings, Grain Offerings), which are Memorial (Remembrance) Offerings.

Salt

SYMBOLIC MEANINGS:
Flour: Yeshua

Salt: Thirst for the water of the Gospel

2. Season with salt.
3. The Priest grabs a handful and throws it on the Altar as sweet incense for a Memorial (Remembrance) Offering of a Fire Offering.

As I noted the Esoteric Meanings website noted that Frankincense symbolizes holiness and righteousness. This was noted under their "Gold Frankincense and Myrrh Allegory" series, under the sub article "(i) Gold Frankincense and Myrrh A Traditional Analysis". They noted this in relation to the three magi bringing the three gifts to Yeshua's parents: gold, frankincense and myrrh. This is what the article says regarding the meanings to these three gifts:

Frankincense is a symbol of holiness and righteousness. The gift of frankincense to the Christ child was symbolic of His willingness to become a sacrifice, wholly giving Himself up, analogous to a burnt offering.

Myrrh symbolizes bitterness, suffering, and affliction. The baby Jesus would grow to suffer greatly as a man and would pay the ultimate price when He gave His life on the cross for all who would believe in Him".

Verses eleven and twelve

11 Any of the Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering, Apportion Offering) that you shall bring near to hwhy, you shall not do (make) of leavening: for you shall not incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) any sourdough and any thickness (honey) from him of a Fire Offering to hwhy. 12 You shall bring them near of a Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) of Firsts to hwhy: and they shall not be ascended to the Altar for a pleasant scent.

Question: "Why was the Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) not to be of leavened bread of sourdough or honey"? Because one: sourdough is represented as "sin", and Yeshua is the representation of "the One with no sin". If it had leavened of sourdough, it would symbolize that Yeshua had sin, and would disqualify Him as the Savior of the World. Yeshua, as noted in times before, mentioned in the Gospels to not give in to the "leaven" of the Pharisees which was their doctrine. Two: as best as I can figure out, honey is generally "sweet", and none of the Donation Offerings (Tribute Offerings, Food Offerings, Grain Offerings) contain sweet ingredients. Yeshua, the Living Word, did not come to the world to be "sweet", which would symbolize someone giving "sweet nothings' in one's ear, but to speak the "plain truth".

Rico Cortes of Wisdom in Torah Ministries noted that the reason honey and leavened bread [sourdough] was not part of the fire offering, because the Egyptians used them for their pagan elohim.

Looking at the followig words:

LEAVEN

The Hebrew word for leaven 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.


SOURDOUGH

The Hebrew word for sourdough 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 is where we get our modern English word "sour" for "sourdough".



Verse thirteen

13 And every Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) of your Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering, Apportion Offering), you shall salten (season, rub) in the salt; and you shall not desist (relax, cease) the Salt of the Covenant of your Elohim from upon your Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering, Apportion Offering): you shall bring near salt upon all of your Karban Offerings (Drawing Near Offerings, Gift Offerings).

The Salt of the Covenant is a symbolic act to "preserve life" in us as believers through the Messiah, as well as to be symbolically "seasoned" by the Word of hwhy.

Looking at the following words:

SALTEN (SEASON, RUB)

The Hebrew word for salten, (season, rub) is "mah-lakh"- Mem, Lamed, Khet (xlm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4414, and its definition

A primitive root; properly to rub to pieces or pulverize; intransitively to disappear as dust; also (as denominative from H4417) to salt whether internally (to season with salt) or externally (to rub with salt): -    X at all, salt, season, temper together, vanish away.

SALT

The Hebrew word for salt is "meh-lakh"- Mem, Lamed, Khet (xlm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4417, and its definition

From H4414; properly powder, that is, (specifically) salt (as easily pulverized and dissolved): - salt ([-pit]).

from 4414 "mah-lakh" (xlm), as noted above

This is a type and shadow of Yeshua being "the Salt" that came down to earth, and Yeshua being the Unleavend Bread" who is seasoned with salt, as well as being "the Seasoner".

Yeshua told us to be the salt of the earth, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Yeshua also related this week's Torah portion passage of the Salt of the Covenant, which is noted in the Gospel of Mark

Mark 9:38 And John answered Him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in Thy Name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 39 But Yeshua said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in My Name, that can lightly speak evil of Me. 40 For he that is not against us is on our part. 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My Name, because ye belong to Messiah, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. 42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in Me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the Kingdom of hwhy with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

In other words, we as believers in Yeshua, are to be seasoned with the "Salt of the Messiah".


Indirectly related, we as believers in Yeshua are to be a living sacrifice in order to receive "the Salt of Messiah". The apostle Paul noted that we are to be a living sacrifice to hwhy, as he wrote in his letter to the assembly in Rome. I give Bill Cloud from Shoreshim Ministries the credit, for making note of this source

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of hwhy, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable unto hwhy, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that Good, and Acceptable, and Perfect Will of hwhy.



Verses fourteen through sixteen

14 And if you shall bring near a Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering, Apportion Offering) of Firstfruits to hwhy aviv (tender green) ears of husked kernels of a planted field roasted (toasted) on the fire; you shall bring near for the Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering, Apportion Offering) of your Firstfruits. 15 And you shall give oil upon her, and you shall set (put) frankincense upon her: she is a Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering, Apportion Offering). 16 And the Priests shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) ta-her Memorial Offering (Remembrance Offering) from her husked kernels, and from her oil upon all of her frankincense: shall be a Fire Offering to hwhy.

V. THE DONATION (FOOD, GRAIN)/MEMORIAL (REMEMBRANCE) OFFERING OF THE FIRSTFRUITS

INGREDIENTS:
Flour
Oil
Salt

THE SYMBOLS OF THE DONATION (FOOD, GRAIN)/MEMORIAL (REMEMBRANCE) OFFERING OF THE FIRSTFRUITS:
Aviv Ears: Softened Heart/Broken And Contrite Heart; Yeshua
Oil mixed in her: The Ruakh HaKodesh (The Holy Spirit)
Oil upon her: Anointing a King or a Priest (Yeshua, the King Priest Melkitsedek)
Salt: Thirst for the water of the Gospel
Frankincense: Holiness and Righteousness [esotericmeanings.com]/Prayers of the Saints and Yeshua
Salt: Flavor Of Righteousness/Preservation Of Life [source: bibletools.org]

PROCESS:
1. Aviv ears of kernels of a planted field roasted in fire.
2. Roasted aviv (tender green) ears poured on Oil.
3. Lay frankincense on it.
4. All of it burned in the fire.

This is the only Donation (Food, Grain) Offering that is not left over for the Priests to eat.


The Aviv (tender green) grain is not completely mature grain


Looking at the word AVIV

The Hebrew word for aviv ears is "ah-veev"- Aleph, Bet, Yod, Bet (byba) 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.

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:

In summation, barley which is in the state of Aviv has 3 characteristics:

1. It is brittle enough to be destroyed by hail and has begun to lighten in color (it is not "dark").
2. The seeds have produced enough dry material so it can be eaten parched.
3. 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 link below to get to the webpage.

SPRING BARLEY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT GUIDE

This is another source regarding the aviv barley from the Nazarene Israel website, under the article "How To Explain Aviv Barley":

How Barley Develops

While modern agriculture uses different terms, for our purposes, barley and other cereal grains can be thought to pass through seven (or eight) stages of growth. These stages take place with increasing rapidity, and the final stages take place relatively rapidly. It may be helpful to imagine a barley plant passing through these phases.

1. Vegetative growth (grass) stage

 2. Budding and flowering stage

 3. Seed pod formation (cotton) stage

 4. Watery stage and Milk stage (minimum aviv)

 5. Soft dough (parchable) stage

 6. Hard dough (carmel) stage

 7. Ancient ripe (sickle-ripe, not as brittle)

 8. Modern ripe (combine-ripe, brittle)

The longest stage for barley, flax, or any other cereal grass is the vegetative growth stage. During vegetative growth, the grass is still green, and soft. If hail strikes it, it is not affected. However, as barley (or any other cereal grass) starts to mature, the stalks will get harder, so they can support the increased weight of the flowers and the grain. With flowering and seeding, the plants begin to get top-heavy. Once the plants are top-heavy and brittle, if they are struck by hail (or even by a hard rain), the stalks can bend, and sometimes kink. Yet even if they do not kink, wet, top-heavy stalks that have been knocked to the ground will not always want to stand back up—and if the crop stays down, it is lost. Exodus 9:31 (above) shows us that this can happen as early as the budding and flowering stages, because the flax was struck (or destroyed) by the hail, even though it was still only in the budding phase.

The below graphic is by the University of Wisconsin, USA, from their “Spring Barley Growth and Development Guide.” It shows the development of average spring barley. The process can take longer in cold weather, but what we need to see here is that for average spring barley, the amount of time between when the immature green heads of grain emerge and the barley is modern-combine ripe is only about 31 days, on average.

Not Too Late, and Not Too Soon

What we have seen is that it is important not to wait too long to harvest barley. However, the flip side is that it is also important not to harvest it too soon. But how soon is too soon? We will see that anything before about 14 days from the time the green grain heads emerge from the stalk is too soon to harvest it, but it is also not too soon to declare the new moon of the aviv. To see this, let us look at how barley seed develops.

The below image shows how barley seed develops. When the green grain head is revealed from the stalk, the empty green seed hull is also revealed. First the empty hull fills with a watery fluid. This is called the water stage. Then the watery fluid becomes milky, called the milk stage. These first two stages last for a total of about 10-12 days. We cannot offer the barley as a firstfruits offering during these first two stages, because there is really nothing that can be eaten until about the 14th day.

This is an image by Nazarene Israel showing the Barley's stages



What the article is saying is that it is on the fourteenth day that the Aviv Stage occurs, and based on this information, this is the kernel's state of this stage that can be used for the Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) to hwhy.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk

You can access the article by clicking on the link below to get to the webpage

https://www.nazareneisrael.org/articles/calendar/how-to-determine-aviv-barley/

With that noted, this is mostly related to the occurrance in the Winter time of the flax, the Spring time of the Barley Harvest near the Feast of the Unleavened Bread, and the early Summer time of the Wheat Harvest near the Feast Shavuoth (Pentecost).

Question: "Why did hwhy allow the aviv (tender green) ears and not ripened ears to be burned on the Altar for the firstfruits"? I do not the answer at this time.

As noted, the Aviv Ears symbolized for softened hearts. This can connect to what the prophet Ezekiel noted in his book

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Another means of sofening one's heart is to obey our Adon's Word, which the apostle Luke noted in his letter to the Hebrews

Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit saith, To day if ye will hear His Voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My Works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in My Wrath, They shall not enter into My Rest.) 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living Elohim. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.



Regarding this week's Torah portion chapter, an example of the use of a Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering) after Torah times was done by Menoah, the future mother of Samson, which is noted in the book of Judges

Judges 13:10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the Man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day. 11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto Him, Art thou the Man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am. 12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him? 13 And the Messenger of hwhy said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware. 14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe. 15 And Manoah said unto the Messenger of hwhy, I pray Thee, let us detain Thee, until we shall have made ready a kid of the goats for Thee. 16 And the Messenger of hwhy said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt elevate an Elevation Offering, thou must offer it unto hwhy. For Manoah knew not that he was a Messenger of hwhy. 17 And Manoah said unto the Messenger of hwhy, What is Thy Name, that when Thy sayings come to pass we may do Thee honour? 18 And the Messenger of hwhy said unto him, Why askest thou thus after My Name, seeing it is secret? 19 So Manoah took ta-a kid of the goats with ta-a Tribute (Donation, Food, Grain) Offering, and offered it upon a rock unto hwhy: and the Messenger did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on. 20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward the heavens from off the altar, that the Messenger of hwhy ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.

Menoah also used the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) from chapter one of this week's Torah portion chapter.



Indirectly related, in the part of the Priests taking the rest of the flour, or cooked bread, Yeshua revealed that He is the grain and has to die to produce many grains, which is noted in the Gospel of John

John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a kernel of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

When we as believers received Him in our hearts, we partake of Him and become part of that grain, like the Priests partaking the remainder of the Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering).



Rico Cortes of Wisdom in Torah Ministries has made available a PDF Book called "The Korban Mincha: A Pictoral Guide to the Korban Mincha" from C.I.S. Distributors. I don't agree with everything they say, but it is an interesting pictoral guide to this kind of offering relating to this chapter.  Click on the image below to download the book

KORBAN MINCHA









CHAPTER 3
Leviticus 3:1-17

Lev 3:1 And if a Sacrifice of a Peace Offering shall be his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering), if he is with bringing near from the herd; if of a remembered one (male), if of a perforated one (punctured one, female), shall bring near a perfect one to the Face of hwhy. 2 And shall support (lay) his hand upon the head of his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering), and shall slaughter him at the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment: and the sons of Aaron, the Priests, they shall strew (sprinkle) ta-the blood upon the Altar all around. 3 And shall bring near the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering of a Fire Offering to hwhy; ta-the kheylev-fat which covered (concealed) ta-the nearest parts (inwards), and ta all of the kheylev-fat which is upon the nearest parts (inwards), 4 and ta the two kidneys, and ta-the kheylev-fat which is upon them which is upon the loins (buttocks, flanks), and ta-the flap (caul, lobe) upon the liver, upon the kidneys, shall be removed. 5 And the sons of Aaron, they shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) him to the Altar upon the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), which is upon the trees (wood) that is upon the Fire, a Fire Offering of a pleasant scent, to hwhy.

6 And if from the flock shall be his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) for a Sacrifice of a Peace Offering to hwhy; shall bring him near a perfect remembered one (male) or a perforated one (punctured one, female). 7 If he is bringing near of ta-his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) Offering a lamb, and shall bring him near to the Face of hwhy. 8 And shall support (lay) ta-his hand upon the head of his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering), and slaughter him to the face of the Tent of Appointment: and the sons of Aaron, they shall strew (sprinkle) ta-his blood upon the Altar all around. 9 And shall bring near the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering of a Fire Offering to hwhy; shall remove of her, his his kheylev-fat, and the complete fat tail by associating (being beside, societizing, huddling together) the backbone; and ta-the kheylev-fat that covers (conceals) ta-the nearest parts (inwards), and ta all of the khelev-fat which is upon the nearest parts (inwards), 10 and ta the two kidneys, and ta-the kheylev-fat which is upon them which is upon the loins (buttucks), and ta-the flap (caul, lobe) upon the liver upon the kidneys shall remove her. 11 And the Priests shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) him to the Altar of the Bread of the Fire Offering to hwhy.

(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)


The Peace Offerings are also Karban Offerings (Drawing Near Offerings, Gift Offerings), which are also Fire Offerings. These are also non-atonement required offerings.

Looking at the word PEACE OFFERING

The Hebrew word for Peace Offering is "sh'lah-meem"- Shin, Lamed, Mem, Yod, Mem Sophit (Mymls). It is from Strong's Concordance number 8002 "shelem" (Mls), and its definition

From H7999; properly requital, that is, a (voluntary) sacrifice in thanks: - peace offering.

from 7999 "shah-lahm" (Mls), and its definition

A primitive root; to be safe (in mind, body or estate); figuratively to be (causatively make) completed; by implication to be friendly; by extension to reciprocate (in various applications): - make amends, (make an) end, finish, full, give again, make good, (re-) pay (again), (make) (to) (be at) peace (-able), that is perfect, perform, (make) prosper (-ous), recompense, render, requite, make restitution, restore, reward, X surely.

In the Hebrew text, it is "sh'lameem", and it written many times in the Tanakh. This should have been a separate, independant reference word in the Strong's concordance, as "meekhoots" (Uwxm) and "m'adam" (Mdam).



Looking at the Peace Offerings which are Karban (Gift, Drawing Near) Offerings.

THE PEACE OFFERINGS OF THE HERD/FLOCK/GOAT

1. Man lays his hand on its head
2. Man kills it at the entrance at The Tent of Appointment.
3. Aaron's sons sprinkle the blood all around the Altar
4. Brings Peace Offering- a Fire Offering to hwhy.
a. The kheylev-fat and the fat tail in conjunction by the backbone (Male and Female flock only).
b. The kheylev-fat covering the inwards.
c. The kheylev-fat upon the inwards.
d. The two kidneys and the kheylev-fat upon them upon the loins.
e. The caul (fold) upon the liver.
f. Aaron's sons burn it as incense on the Altar of the Elevation Offering.
g. Bread of the Fire Offering- a.k.a. Leavened Bread from Leviticus 7:13 (Male and female of the flock and male goat only).

NOTES
*The goat is not shown to be required to be perfect.
*The Bread of the Fire Offering is not specifically mentioned regarding the herd.



These are the three parts mentioned regarding the animals in this week's Torah portion chapter were the kheylev-fat, the caul (lobe) of the liver, and the two kidneys.

Looking at the following words:

THE KHEYLEV-FAT

The Hebrew word for kheylev-fat is "khey-lehv"- Khet, Lamed, Bet (blx). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2459, and its definition

From an unused root meaning to be fat; fat, whether literally or figuratively; hence the richest or choice part: -    X best, fat (-ness), X finest, grease, marrow.

This is where we get our modern English word "club". Anyone heard of a "club sandwich"? It is a "fat" sandwich.

It also means internal fatness of blessing. The Hebrew word for marrow is "kheylev", which is noted by king David in the book of Psalms

Psalm 63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow (blx) and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:


THE FLAP (CAUL, LOBE)

The Hebrew word for flap (caul, lobe) is "yoh-theh-reth"- Yod, Tav, Resh, Tav (trty). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3508, and it definition

Feminine active participle of H3498; the lobe or flap of the liver (as if redundant or outhanging): - caul.

from 3498 "yah-thahr" (rty), and its definition

A primitive root; to jut over or exceed; by implication to excel; (intransitively) to remain or be left; causatively to leave, cause to abound, preserve: - excel, leave (a remnant), left behind, too much, make plenteous, preserve, (be, let) remain (-der, -ing, -nant), reserve, residue, rest.

On the dictionary.com website, the caul, according to Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary says this:

(Heb. yothe'reth; i.e., "something redundant"), the membrane which covers the upper part of the liver (Ex. 29:13, 22; Lev.3:4, 10, 15; 4:9; 7:4; marg.,"midriff"). In Hos. 13:8 (Heb. seghor; i.e., "an enclosure") the pericardium, or parts about the heart,is meant.


THE KIDNEYS

The Hebrew word for kidneys is "keel-yah" (singular)- Kaph, Lamed, Yod, Heh (hylk). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3629, and its definition

Feminine of H3627 (only in the plural); a kidney (as an essential organ); figuratively the mind (as the interior self): - kidneys, reins.

from 3627 "k'lee" (ylk), and its definition

From H3615; something prepared, that is, any apparatus (as an implement, utensil, dress, vessel or weapon): - armour ([-bearer]), artillery, bag, carriage, + furnish, furniture, instrument, jewel, that is made of, X one from another, that which pertaineth, pot, + psaltery, sack, stuff, thing, tool, vessel, ware, weapon, + whatsoever.

from 3615 "kah-lah" (hlk) and its definition

A primitive root; to end, whether intransitively (to cease, be finished, perish) or transitively (to complete, prepare, consume): - accomplish, cease, consume (away), determine, destroy (utterly), be (when . . . were) done, (be an) end (of), expire, (cause to) fail, faint, finish, fulfil, X fully, X have, leave (off), long, bring to pass, wholly reap, make clean riddance, spend, quite take away, waste.

To a human, the kidneys in general represent the seat of the emotions.

Giving the glory to hwhy, there are three items here being separated, and it is probable that it relates to these three areas:

THE KHEYLAV FAT

This is fat. The brain also contains fat. Each organ has a "mind" of its own, and the fat is connected to them, which is the result of the organs. It is probable that the kheylev fat is symbolized by the brain, which is fat, and it is related to the MIND

THE FLAP (CAU, LOBE)

This is connected to the liver, which represents strength, and it is probable that the caul (lobe) relates to the WILL

THE TWO KIDNEYS

It is well known that the kidneys relates to the EMOTIONS

These three items represents the three parts of the SOUL:

THE MIND
THE EMOTIONS
AND THE WILL

!!!!!hwhy Kl dbk

When someone sins, it is caused by the WILL, and when a sacrifice is made for an Israelite, it is an act to get the WILL back in line with hwhy and restore the WILL's relationship in one's resubmission to hwhy.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk



In this chapter, in relating the kidneys, it says in verses four, ten and fifteen of this week's Torah portion chapter, it states "and ta-the kheylev-fat which is upon them,...". The Hebrew phrase for upon them is "aleyhehn"- Ayin, Lamed, Heh, Nun Sophit (Nhle). The Hey and Nun in the end (Nh) tells us that the pronoun is feminine plural, which means that the kheylev-fat is feminine.



Question: "Why is the Bread of the Fire Offering only mentioned in the offering of the male and female of the flock, and the male goat, but not of the male and female herd"? The only thing I could figure out that it was applied in the herd, but it wasn't first specified when it should have been and was noted on the other two types of animals.

Looking at the following words:

REMEMBERED ONE (MALE)

The Hebrew word for remembered one (male) is "zah-kahr"- Zayin, Kaph, Resh (rkz). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2145, and its definition

From H2142; properly remembered, that is, a male (of man or animals, as being the most noteworthy sex): -    X him, male, man (child, -kind).

from 2142 "zah-kahr" (rkz), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to mark (so as to be recognized), that is, to remember; by implication to mention; also (as denominative from H2145) to be male: -  X burn [incense], X earnestly, be male, (make) mention (of), be mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make to be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, X still, think on, X well.

Notice that this Hebrew word is the same word for "remember". This would be a type of male that is to be remembered. This would also symbolize the "One" who is to be remembered, and He is Yeshua the Messiah.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk


PERFORATED ONE (PUNCTURED ONE, FEMALE)

The Hebrew word for perforated one (punctured one, female) is "n'keyvah"- Nun, Kuph, Bet, Heh (hbqn). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5347, and its definition

From H5344; female (from the sexual form): - female, woman.

from 5344 "nah-kahv" (bqn), and its definition

A primitive root; to puncture, literally (to perforate, with more or less violence) or figuratively (to specify, designate, libel): - appoint, blaspheme, bore, curse, express, with holes, name, pierce, strike through.


Looking at the word NEAREST PARTS (INWARDS)

The Hebrew word for nearest parts (inwards) is "keh-rehv"- Kuph, Resh, Bet (brq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7130, and it definition

From H7126; properly the nearest part, that is, the centre, whether literally, figuratively or adverbially (especially with preposition): -    X among, X before, bowels, X unto charge, + eat (up), X heart, X him, X in, inward (X -ly, part, -s, thought), midst, + out of, purtenance, X therein, X through, X within self.

from 3498 "kah-rahv" (brq), and its definition

A primitive root; to approach (causatively bring near) for whatever purpose: - (cause to) approach, (cause to) bring (forth, near), (cause to) come (near, nigh), (cause to) draw near (nigh), go (near), be at hand, join, be near, offer, present, produce, make ready, stand, take.

This Hebrew word is commonly translated as "inwards", but to me, it does not give the true meaning to the Hebrew word. The translation "nearest parts" gives a better understanding to the meaning of the "process" of the sacrifice. They were bringing their Karban Offering, which is their "Draw Near Offering", meaning that they were in the process to "draw near" back to hwhy. In the process of the sacrifice, the Priests were to take the fat that was "nearest" to the organs of the body which relates to the "soul": the mind, the emotions and the will, because it is the soul that has been away from hwhy. When they take the fat that is nearest to the organ parts emphasizing the will, it is an act for our souls to be "drawn near" back to hwhy.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk

In relation to us believers in Yeshua, when we sin, it made us away from the Heavenly Father, but we have an Advocate, Yeshua, with the Heavenly Father and He is the One that will draw us near back to Him when we confess our sins.

CHAPTER 4
Leviticus 4:1-35

Lev 4:1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, to say; If a soul, she shall sin in ignorance from any of the Commandments of hwhy which she should not have done of her, and does from one from them:

3 If the Priest that is anointed shall sin to make the People guilty; and shall bring near upon his sin which had sinned a perfect bullock of a son of a herd to the hwhy for a Sin Offering. 4 And shall bring ta-the bullock to the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment to the Face of hwhy; and shall support (lay) ta-his hand upon the head of the bullock, and shall slaughter ta-the bullock to the Face of hwhy. 5 And the Priest that is anointed shall take from the blood of the bullock, and shall bring him to the Tent of Appointment: 6 And the Priest shall dip ta-his finger in the blood, and shall spurt (besprinkle in expiation, sprinkle ?stream?) from the blood seven times to the Face of hwhy at ta-the face of the Veil of the Sacred Area. 7 And the Priest shall give from the blood upon the Horns of the Altar of the Incense of the Sweetness (Aroma) to the Face of hwhy which is in the Tent of Appointment; and shall shed out (gush out, spill out) ta all of the blood of the bullock to the Base (Foundation, Settled Area, Established Area) of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) which is at the Entrance of the Tent of Appoinment. 8 And from him shall raise up ta all of the kheylev-fat of the bullock of the Sin Offering; ta-the kheylev-fat that covers (conceals) upon the nearest parts (inwards), and ta all of the kheylev-fat which is upon the nearest parts (inwards), 9 and ta the two kidneys, and ta-the kheylev-fat which is upon them, which is upon the loins (buttucks, flanks), and ta-the flap (caul, fold) upon the liver upon the kidneys, shall remove her, 10 as the which is raised up from the ox of the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering: and the Priest shall incense (smoke (incense, fumigate, burn) them upon the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), 11 and ta-the skin of the bullock, and ta-all of his flesh upon his head, and upon his shoulder legs (lower shoulder legs), and his nearest parts (inwards), and his dung (excrement, dispersed material). 12 And ta-all of the bullock shall go out to from outside by the Camp to a clean place to empty out (shed out) the fat ashes, and shall burn him up upon the trees (wood) in the fire: and shall be burned up when the fat ashes are emptied out (sheded out).

13 And if any of the Congregation of Israel was ignorant, and the word was blinded (veiled) of them from the eyes of the Assembly, and they have done of her one from any of the Commandments of hwhy which she should not have done of her, and they are guilty; 14 And the sin shall be known which they have sinned upon her, and the Assembly shall bring near a bullock for a Sin Offering, and they shall bring him to the face of the Tent of Appointment. 15 And the Elders of the Congregation, they shall support (lay) ta-their hands upon the head of the bullock to the Face of hwhy: and shall slaughter ta-the bullock o the Face of hwhy. 16 And the Priest that is anointed shall come with the blood of the bullock to the Tent of Appointment: 17 And the Priest shall dip his finger from the blood, and shall spurt (besprinkle in expiation, sprinkle ?stream?) seven times to the Face of hwhy of ta-the face of the Veil. 18 And shall give from the blood upon the Horns of the Altar which is to the Face of hwhy which is in the Tent of Appoinment, and shall shed out (gush out, spill out) ta all of the blood to the Base (Foundation, Settled Area, Established Area) of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), which is at the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment. 19 And shall raise up ta all of his kheylev-fat from him, and shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) him to the Altar. 20 And shall do to the bullock as the which is done to the bullock of the Sin Offering, so shall do to him: and the Priest shall atone upon them, and shall be forgiven to them. 21 And shall go out ta-the bullock from outside by the Camp, and shall burn him up as the which was burned up ta-the first bullock: he is a Sin Offering of the Assembly.

22 Which a ruler sins, and has done one from any of the Commandments of hwhy,his Elohim, which she should not do of her in ignorance, and is guilty; 23 Or his sin has been made known to him which had sinned in her; and shall bring ta-his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) of a goat of the kids of a perfect remembered one (male): 24 And shall support (lay) his hand upon the head of the goat, and shall slaughter him in the place where they shall slaughter ta-the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) to the Face of hwhy: he is a Sin Offering. 25 And the Priest shall take from the blood of the Sin Offering on his finger, and shall give upon the Horns of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and shall shed out (gush out, spill out) ta-his blood to the Base (Foundation, Settled Area, Established Area) of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering). 26 And shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) ta-all of his kheylev-fat to the Altar as the kheylev-fat of the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering: and the Priest shall atone upon him from his sin, and shall be forgiven to him.

27 And if one soul, she sins in ignorance from the People of the land, in doing her one from the Commandments of hwhy which she should not do, and is guilty; 28 Or has been made known to him his sin, which had sinned: and shall bring his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) of a perfect ewe goat of the kids, a perforated one (punctured one, female), upon his sin which had sinned. 29 And shall support (lay) ta-his hand upon the head of the Sin Offering, and shall slaughter ta-the Sin Offering in the place of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering). 30 And the Priest shall take from her blood on his finger, and shall give upon the Horns of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and shall shed out (gush out, spill out) ta-all of her blood to the Base (Foundation, Settled Area, Established Area) of the Altar. 31 And shall remove ta-all of her kheylev-fat, as the which the kheylev-fat is removed from upon the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering; and the Priest shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) upon the Altar for a pleasant scent to hwhy; and the Priest shall atone upon him, and shall be forgiven to him.

32 And if shall bring a sheep of his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) for a Sin Offering, shall bring her a perfect perforated one (punctured one, female). 33 And shall support (lay) ta-his hand upon the head of the Sin Offering, and shall slaughter her for a Sin Offering in the place where is slaughtered ta-the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering). 34 And the Priest shall take blood of the Sin Offering on his finger, and shall give upon the Horns of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and shall shall shed out (gush out, spill out) ta-all of her blood to the Base of the Altar: 35 And shall remove ta-all of her kheylev-fat as the which is removed the kheylev-fat of the sheep from the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering; and the Priest shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) them to the Altar upon the Fire Offerings of hwhy: and the Priest shall atone upon him upon his sin which had sinned, and shall be forgiven to him.


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)

Ephraim Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries explained best by noting that these offerings are for those who "unintentionally sinned" and didn't know until after they were told.

Verses one and two

1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, to say; If a soul, she shall sin in ignorance from any of the Commandments of hwhy which she should not have done of her, and does from one from them:

Looking at the following words:

THEM

The Hebrew word for them is "hey-nah"- Heh, Nun, Heh (hnh). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2007, and its defintion

Prolonged for H2004; themselves (often used emphatically for the copula, also in indirect relation): -    X in, X such (and such things), their, (into) them, thence, therein, these, they (had), on this side, those, wherein.

from 2004 "heyn" (Nh), and its defintion

Feminine plural from H1931; they (only used when emphatic): -    X in, such like, (with) them, thereby, therein, (more than) they, wherein, in which, whom, withal.

from 1931 "hoo" or "hee" (awh or ayh), and its definition

The second form is the feminine beyond the Pentateuch; a primitive word, the third person pronoun singular, he (she or it); only expressed when emphatic or without a verb; also (intensively) self, or (especially with the article) the same; sometimes (as demonstrative) this or that; occasionally (instead of copula) as or are: - he, as for her, him (-self), it, the same, she (herself), such, that (. . . it), these, they, this, those, which (is), who.

The point is that the word "them" in the Hebrew is feminine plural. In this context, it relates to the "Commandments", because the Commandments are feminine. Also, the soul is feminine, which is noted in the Torah portion of Akharey Moth, in the book of Leviticus

Leviticus 17:14 ...for the soul of all flesh, she is his blood:

Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that when it says "a soul", it does not mean "a Jew". It means "anyone" who is a native or an adopted or grafted Israelite, because the Israelites were a "mixed multitude", which is noted in the Torah portion of Bo, in the book of Exodus

Exodus 12:37 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.

IGNORANCE

The Hebrew word for ignorance "sh'gah-gah"- Shin, Gimel, Gimel, Heh (hggs). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7684, and its definition

From H7683; a mistake or inadvertent transgression: - error, ignorance, at unawares, unwittingly.

from 7683 "shah-gahg" (ggs), and its definition

A primitive root; to stray, that is, (figuratively) sin (with more or less apology): -    X also for that, deceived, err, go astray, sin ignorantly.

This is where we get our modern English word "ga ga" without the shin, like the expression of an innocent baby.

These types of offerings in this chapter should be called "the Sin of Ignorance Offerings".

Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that the Sin of Ignorance Offering connects to what Yeshua said at the cross, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke

Luke 23:34 Then said Yeshua, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do....

In other words, Mark was saying that Yeshua was saying to the Father to forgive them for their "ignorance". Thank you Mark.


Looking at the word SHED OUT (GUSH OUT, SPILL OUT)

The Hebrew word for shed out (gush out, spill out) is "shah-fahk"- Shin, Peh, Kaph Sophit (Kps). It is from Strong's Concordance number 8210, and its defintion

A primitive root; to spill forth (blood, a libation, liquid metal; or even a solid, that is, to mound up); also (figuratively) to expend (life, soul, complaint, money, etc.); intensively to sprawl out: - cast (up), gush out, pour (out), shed (-der, out), slip.

It would make sense for the translation to be primarily "shed out", because it would be a type of shadow of Yeshua who shed His Blood for our sins.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk


Looking at the word BLINDED (CONCEALED)

The Hebrew word for blinded (concealed) is "ah-lahm"- Ain, Lamed, Mem Sophit (Mle). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5956, and its defintion

A primitive root; to veil from sight, that is, conceal (literally or figuratively): -    X any ways, blind, dissembler, hide (self), secret (thing).

Notice that this Hebrew word is similar to the Hebrew word "oh-lahm"- Ayin, Vav, Lamed, Mem Sophit (Mlwe), meaning "ever", from the Hebrew "l'oh-lahm" (Mlwel), meaning forever or for ages. It comes from the Hebrew word meaning to be blind or concealed.



Verses three through twelve

3 If the Priest that is anointed shall sin to make the People guilty; and shall bring near upon his sin which had sinned a perfect bullock of a son of a herd to the hwhy for a Sin Offering. 4 And shall bring ta-the bullock to the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment to the Face of hwhy; and shall support (lay) ta-his hand upon the head of the bullock, and shall slaughter ta-the bullock to the Face of hwhy. 5 And the Priest that is anointed shall take from the blood of the bullock, and shall bring him to the Tent of Appointment: 6 And the Priest shall dip ta-his finger in the blood, and shall spurt (besprinkle in expiation, sprinkle ?stream?) from the blood seven times to the Face of hwhy at ta-the face of the Veil of the Sacred Area. 7 And the Priest shall give from the blood upon the Horns of the Altar of the Incense of the Sweetness (Aroma) to the Face of hwhy which is in the Tent of Appointment; and shall shed out (gush out, spill out) ta all of the blood of the bullock to the Base (Foundation, Settled Area, Established Area) of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) which is at the Entrance of the Tent of Appoinment. 8 And from him shall raise up ta all of the kheylev-fat of the bullock of the Sin Offering; ta-the kheylev-fat that covers (conceals) upon the nearest parts (inwards), and ta all of the kheylev-fat which is upon the nearest parts (inwards), 9 and ta the two kidneys, and ta-the kheylev-fat which is upon them, which is upon the loins (buttucks, flanks), and ta-the flap (caul, fold) upon the liver upon the kidneys, shall remove her, 10 as the which is raised up from the ox of the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering: and the Priest shall incense (smoke (incense, fumigate, burn) them upon the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), 11 and ta-the skin of the bullock, and ta-all of his flesh upon his head, and upon his shoulder legs (lower shoulder legs), and his nearest parts (inwards), and his dung (excrement, dispersed material). 12 And ta-all of the bullock shall go out to from outside by the Camp to a clean place to empty out (shed out) the fat ashes, and shall burn him up upon the trees (wood) in the fire: and shall be burned up when the fat ashes are emptied out (sheded out).

I: THE SIN OFFERING OF IGNORANCE OFFERING FOR THE PRIEST

1. The Priest brings a perfect male bullock, a son of the herd.
2. Brings it to the Tent's Entrance.
3. Lay his hand on the bullock.
4. Kills the bullock.
5. The anointed Priest takes the blood and brings it to the Tent.
6. The Priest dips his finger into the blood.
7. The Priest sprinkles it seven times before hwhy, before the Veil of the Sanctuary.
8. The Priest puts blood on the Horns on the Altar.
9. The Priest pours the blood at the Base of the Altar of the Elevation (Ascension, Burnt) Offering at the Entrance of the Tent.
10. The Priest lifts up:
a. The kheylev-fat covering the inwards.
b. The kheylev-fat upon the inwards.
c. The two kidneys.
d. The kheylev-fat upon the loins upon the kidneys.
e. The fatty fold upon the liver, upon the kidneys, as the bullock of the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering.
11. The Priest burns them as incense on the Altar of the Elevation (Ascension, Burnt) Offering.
12. The Priest takes the bullock's skin, head, legs, inwards and dung- the whole bullock- outside the Camp to a clean place.
13. The Priest pours out the ashes.
14. The Priest burns the bullock on wood, on the ashes.

Looking at the following words:

GUILT

The Hebrew word for guilt is "ah-shah-mah"- Aleph, Shin, Mem, Heh (hmsa). It is from Strong's Concordance number 819, and its definition

Feminine of H817; guiltiness, a fault, the presentation of a sin offering: - offend, sin, (cause of) trespass (-ing, offering).

from 817 and "ah-shahm" (msa), and its definition

From H816; guilt; by implication a fault; also a sin offering: - guiltiness, (offering for) sin, trespass (offering).

from 816 "asham" or "ah-sheym" (msa), and its definition

A primitive root; to be guilty; by implication to be punished or perish: -  X certainly, be (-come, made) desolate, destroy, X greatly, be (-come, found, hold) guilty, offend (acknowledge offence), trespassive


SIN

The Hebrew word for sin is "khah-tah"- Khet, Tet, Aleph (ajx). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2398, and its definition

A primitive root; properly to miss; hence (figuratively and generally) to sin; by inference to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, (causatively) lead astray, condemn: - bear the blame, cleanse, commit [sin], by fault, harm he hath done, loss, miss, (make) offend (-er), offer for sin, purge, purify (self), make reconciliation, (cause, make) sin (-ful, -ness), trespassive

This is where we get our modern English word "hate". I would prefer to call it a "Hate Offering". When one sins, one does it in an act of "hate" against hwhy.

Indirectly related regarding hate, Yeshua made an example of this of choosing between hwhy and Mammon, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve hwhy and mammon.

The servant has to choose which one to hate. If the servant hates hwhy, this is the kind of "sin" that servant will bear.


ANOINTED

The Hebrew word for anointed is "mah-shee-akh"- Mem, Shin, Yod, Khet (xysm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4899, and its definition

From H4886; anointed; usually a consecrated person (as a king, priest, or saint); specifically the Messiah: - anointed, Messiah.

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.

This Hebrew word in the Hebrew text is "hah-mah-sheeakh" (xysmh), with the "Heh" before it, commonly interpreted as "the anointed". This Hebrew text phrase is used only four times throughout the Tanakh (the Old Testament). It is used three times in verses three, five and sixteen of this week's Torah portion chapter. The other place this Hebrew text phrase is used is located in the Torah portion of Tsav, in the book of Leviticus

Leviticus 6:22 And the Priest from his sons that are anointed (xysmh) shall do (make) her at his stead: shall be a Statute of Ages to hwhy; she shall be completely incensed (smoked, fumigated, burned),

These are the only times this Hebrew text phrase is used, and it is only applied to the Priest in the book of Leviticus. This phrase could also be translated

5 And the Priest of "the Messiah"...

This is so, because Yeshua, "the Messiah", is of the descendant of the High Priesthood of Aaron through His biological mother Mary, a descendant of the Levitical High Priesthood, whose cousin, Elizabeth, wife of Zecharias the Priest, is also of the Aaronite Levitical High Priesthood lineage. These verses reveal to us that they are hinting that "the Messiah" is involved through the Priesthood.

!!!hwhy Kl dbk

In verse twelve of this week's Torah portion passage, the Hebrew text for outside is "meekhoots"- Mem, Khet, Vav, Tsade Sophit (Uwxm) from Strong's Concordance number 2351 which is the Hebrew word "khoots" (Uwx). This Hebrew text with the Mem is another word that Strong's overlooked, and it should have been a separate, independant sourced word like the other Hebrew word "m'adam" (Mdam) which I commented in the Torah portion of P'kudey, in the book of Exodus, in chapter thirty nine, verse thirty four.



Verses thirteen through twenty-one

13 And if any of the Congregation of Israel was ignorant, and the word was blinded (veiled) of them from the eyes of the Assembly, and they have done of her one from any of the Commandments of hwhy which she should not have done of her, and they are guilty; 14 And the sin shall be known which they have sinned upon her, and the Assembly shall bring near a bullock for a Sin Offering, and they shall bring him to the face of the Tent of Appointment. 15 And the Elders of the Congregation, they shall support (lay) ta-their hands upon the head of the bullock to the Face of hwhy: and shall slaughter ta-the bullock o the Face of hwhy. 16 And the Priest that is anointed shall come with the blood of the bullock to the Tent of Appointment: 17 And the Priest shall dip his finger from the blood, and shall spurt (besprinkle in expiation, sprinkle ?stream?) seven times to the Face of hwhy of ta-the face of the Veil. 18 And shall give from the blood upon the Horns of the Altar which is to the Face of hwhy which is in the Tent of Appoinment, and shall shed out (gush out, spill out) ta all of the blood to the Base (Foundation, Settled Area, Established Area) of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), which is at the Entrance of the Tent of Appointment. 19 And shall raise up ta all of his kheylev-fat from him, and shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) him to the Altar. 20 And shall do to the bullock as the which is done to the bullock of the Sin Offering, so shall do to him: and the Priest shall atone upon them, and shall be forgiven to them. 21 And shall go out ta-the bullock from outside by the Camp, and shall burn him up as the which was burned up ta-the first bullock: he is a Sin Offering of the Assembly.

Verses twenty seven through thirty-one

27 And if one soul, she sins in ignorance from the People of the land, in doing her one from the Commandments of hwhy which she should not do, and is guilty; 28 Or has been made known to him his sin, which had sinned: and shall bring his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) of a perfect ewe goat of the kids, a perforated one (punctured one, female), upon his sin which had sinned. 29 And shall support (lay) ta-his hand upon the head of the Sin Offering, and shall slaughter ta-the Sin Offering in the place of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering). 30 And the Priest shall take from her blood on his finger, and shall give upon the Horns of the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and shall shed out (gush out, spill out) ta-all of her blood to the Base (Foundation, Settled Area, Established Area) of the Altar. 31 And shall remove ta-all of her kheylev-fat, as the which the kheylev-fat is removed from upon the Sacrifice of the Peace Offering; and the Priest shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) upon the Altar for a pleasant scent to hwhy; and the Priest shall atone upon him, and shall be forgiven to him.

This week's Torah portion chapter of the Sin of the Ignorance Offerings was a basis for the Jews returning from Babylonian captivity in making sacrifices for their sins which resulted in their removal from the land, which is noted in the book of Ezra

Ezra 8:35 The ones which came from the captivity, the sons of those that had been exiled, elevated Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings) unto the Elohim of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven sheep, twelve he goats for a Sin Offering: all of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) unto hwhy.

It would make proper sense that the Sin Offering was used based in chapter four of this week's Torah portion, but the offerings in chapter four do not require a ram or male sheep or male goats.



Indirectly related, I want to add this account regarding King David. Some of these kinds of offerings could have been those that King David would have made after he was informed of his sin when he went unto Bathsheba and killed Uriah the Hittite. This is what King David wrote, which is noted in the book of the Pslams

Psalm 51:14 Deliver me from bloods, Elohim, Elohim of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy Righteousness. 15 Adonai, open my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth Thy praise. 16 For Thou desirest not sacrifice; or I would give it: Thou delightest not in an Elevation Offering. 17 The Sacrifices of Elohim are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, Elohim, Thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in Thy Good Pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt Thou delight the Sacrifices of Righteousness, of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) and the Whole Burnt Offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine Altar.

Looking at the word WHOLE BURNT OFFERING

The Hebrew word for Whole Burnt Offering is "Kah-leel"- Kaph. Lamed, Yod, Lamed (lylk). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3632, and its defintion

From H3634; complete; as noun, the whole (specifically a sacrifice entirely consumed); as adverb fully: - all, every whit, flame, perfect (-ion), utterly, whole burnt offering (sacrifice), wholly.

from 3634 "kah-lahl" (llk), and its definition

A primitive root; to complete: - (make) perfect.

This Whole Burnt Offering is noted when Moses blessed the Tribe of Levi for the latter days, which is noted in the Torah portion of V'Zoth H'B'rakhah, in the book of Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 33:10 They shall teach Your Ordaninces to Jacob, and Your Torah to Israel: they shall put incense in Your Nostrils, and the Whole Elevation Offering [(Whole Ascension Offering, Whole Burnt Offering)] upon Your Altar.

David knew that it takes more than just sacrificial offerings to get right with hwhy. David had to be atoned for his sins by having a broken and contrite heart first, then hwhy could accept David's offerings.







CHAPTER 5
Leviticus 5:1-19

Lev 5:1 And when a soul, she sins, and hears the voice of cursing (swearing), and he is a witness (testifier), or has seen, or has known; if does not tell (declare), and shall bear his iniquity, 2 or which a soul, she touches on any word unclean, or on a flabby carcase (flabby corpse) of an unclean beast, or on a a flabby carcase (flabby corpse) of an unclean animal, or on a a flabby carcase (flabby corpse) of an unclean swarmer, and is blinded (concealed) from him; and he shall be unclean, and is guilty. 3 Or if shall touch on an uncleanness of an Adam to any of his uncleanness which shall be unclean on her, and is blinded (veiled) from him; and he knows, and is guilty. 4 Or if a soul, she swears by rash utterance (speaking rashly) on the lips to do the evil or to do the good to any which the Adam shall speak rashly (have rash utterance) on an oath, and is blinded (veiled) from him; and he has known, and is guilty to one from these. 5 And shall be, if shall be guilty to one from these, and shall make known (confess) which was sinned upon her: 6 And shall bring ta-his Guilt Offering to hwhy upon his sin whom had sinned of a perforated one (punctuated one, female) from the flock, of a sheep, or of a kid of the ewe goats for a Sin Offering; and the Priest shall atone upon him from his sin.

7 And if his hand, she cannot reach enough (cannot afford, cannot obtain) at a lamb, and which had sinned shall bring of ta-his Guilt Offering of two turtledoves or two sons of a dove to hwhy; one for a Sin Offering and one for an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering). 8 And shall bring them near to the Priest ta-which is for the Sin Offering first, and shall wring off (nip) ta-his head with bluntness (abruption) at his neck, and shall not separate (divide): 9 And shall spurt (besprinkle, sprinkle) from the blood of the Sin Offering upon the wall of the Altar; and the remainder among the blood shall be squeezed out (drained out, wringed out) to the Base (Foundation, Settled Area, Established Area) of the Altar: he is a Sin Offering. 10 And shall do ta-the second of an Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) according to (as) the Ordinance: and the Priest shall atone upon him from his sin which had sinned, and shall be forgiven to him.

11 And if his hand, she cannot reach enough (cannot afford, cannot obtain) to two turtledoves or to two sons of a dove, and whom had sinned, shall bring ta-his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) of a tenth of the ephah of flour for a Sin Offering; shall not put oil upon her, and shall not give frankincense upon her: for she is a Sin Offering. 12 And shall bring her to the Priest, and the Priest shall grasp from her of the fullness of his grasping (handful) of ta-her Memorial Offering (Remembrance Offering), and shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) to the Altar upon the Fire Offering to hwhy: she is a Sin Offering. 13 And the Priest shall atone upon him upon his sin whom had sinned from one from these, and shall be forgiven to him: and she shall belong to the Priest as a Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering).

14 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 15 If a soul, she transgresses a transgression, and sins in ignorance from the Sacred Things (Sacredness, Holy Things) of hwhy; and shall bring ta-his Guilt Offering to hwhy of a perfect ram from the flock, in your evaluation of silver shekels on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sanctuary for a Guilt Offering: 16 And ta whom had sinned from the Sacred Things (Sacredness, Holy Things) shall be restored, and shall add ta-his fifth upon him and give him to the Priest: and the Priest shall atone upon him on the ram of the Guilt Offering, and shall be forgiven to him.

17 And if a soul, she sins and has done her one from any of the Commandments of hwhy; which she should not have done of her, and does not know, and is guilty, and bears his iniquity, 18 and shall bring a perfect ram from the flock, in your evaluation for a Guilt Offering to the Priest: and the Priest shall atone upon him upon his ignorance of whom was ignorant, and he did not know, and shall be forgiven to him. 19 He is a Guilt Offering: guilty, shall be guilty to hwhy.


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments).


This chapter is based on the offerings for those who are guilty and bear these iniquities whether unkowingly or knowingly. Some of these could be based on acts that they had no choice, which I will explain in parts later in this week's Torah portion chapter. This week's Torah portion chapter notes the various Guilt Offerings.

Looking at the word GUILT OFFERING

The Hebrew word for Guilt Offering is "ah-shahm"- Aleph, Shin, Mem Sophit (Msa). It is from Strong's Concordance number 817, and its definition

From H816; guilt; by implication a fault; also a sin offering: - guiltiness, (offering for) sin, trespass (offering).

from 816 "asham" or "ah-sheym" (Msa), and its definition

A primitive root; to be guilty; by implication to be punished or perish: -  X certainly, be (-come, made) desolate, destroy, X greatly, be (-come, found, hold) guilty, offend (acknowledge offence), trespassive

This is where we get our modern English word "shame" or "ashamed". This is the shame that affects a man even to his private parts. When Yeshua died on the tree, He was "completely naked", and Yeshua's private parts was exposed to identify "the shame of mankind", or "the shame of Adam" which He took with Him to the cross.


Looking at the word INIQUITY

The Hebrew word for Initquity is "ah-vohn"- Ayin, Vav, Nun Sophit (Nwe). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5771, and its definition

From H5753; perversity, that is, (moral) evil: - fault, iniquity, mischief, punishment (of iniquity), sin.

from 816 "ah-vah" (hwe), and its definition

A primitive root; to crook, literally or figuratively: - do amiss, bow down, make crooked, commit iniquity, pervert, (do) perverse (-ly), trouble, X turn, do wickedly, do wrong.

The iniquity is a result of one who "perverses" his own soul through these exampled acts in this chapter.


These are the various Guilt Offerings.

Verses one through six

1 And if a soul, she sins, and hears the voice of cursing (swearing), and he is a witness, or has seen, or has known; if does not tell, and shall bear his iniquity, 2 or which a soul, she touches on any word unclean, or on a carcase (corpse) of an unclean beast, or on a carcase (corpse) of an unclean animal, or on a carcase (corpse) of an unclean swarmer, and is blinded (concealed) from him; and he shall be unclean, and is guilty. 3 Or if shall touch on an uncleanness of an Adam to any of his uncleanness which shall be unclean on her, and is blinded (veiled) from him; and he knows, and is guilty. 4 Or if a soul, she swears by rash utterance (speaking rashly) on the lips to do the evil or to do the good to any which the Adam shall speak rashly (have rash utterance) on an oath, and is blinded (veiled) from him; and he has known, and is guilty to one from these. 5 And shall be, if shall be guilty to one from these, and shall make known (confess) which was sinned upon her: 6 And shall bring ta-his Guilt Offering to hwhy upon his sin whom had sinned of a female from the flock, of a sheep, or of a kid of the ewe goats for a Sin Offering; and the Priest shall atone upon him from his sin.

I: THE GUILT OFFERING OF:

A. A SOUL THAT HEARS SOMEONE CURSING

B. A SOUL THAT TOUCHES ANYTHING UNCLEAN

C. A SOUL THAT TOUCHES A DEAD MAN

D. SPEAKS RASHLY

1. Shall confess their sins upon her ("her", meaning his soul).
2. They shall bring:

II: THE GUILT OFFERING ALTERNATE NO. 1: ONE WHO CANNOT REACH OR AFFORD A LAMB

1. One shall bring two turtledoves or two sons of a dove:
a. One for a sin offering.
b. One for an Elevation Offering.
2. The man brings them to the Priest.
3. The one for the sin offering:
a. The Priest rings off the head in front of the neck and doesn't divide (the bird).
b. The Priest sprinkles the blood on the side of the Altar.
c. The Priest drains the rest at the base of the Altar.
4. The one for the Elevation (Ascension, Burnt) Offering:
a. The Priest offers the other one for the Elevation (Ascension, Burnt) Offering, based from chapter one, for an ordinance.
5. The Priest shall atone for him and be forgiven.

NOTES
*It doesn't say what side of the Altar the blood is to be spinkled.



Verses eleven through thirteen

11 And if his hand, she cannot reach enough (cannot afford, cannot obtain) to two turtledoves or to two sons of a dove, and whom had sinned, shall bring ta-his Karban Offering (Drawing Near Offering, Gift Offering) of a tenth of the ephah of flour for a Sin Offering; shall not put oil upon her, and shall not give frankincense upon her: for she is a Sin Offering. 12 And shall bring her to the Priest, and the Priest shall grasp from her of the fullness of his grasping (handful) of ta-her Memorial Offering (Remembrance Offering), and shall incense (smoke, fumigate, burn) to the Altar upon the Fire Offering to hwhy: she is a Sin Offering. 13 And the Priest shall atone upon him upon his sin whom had sinned from one from these, and shall be forgiven to him: and she shall belong to the Priest as a Donation Offering (Tribute Offering, Food Offering, Grain Offering).

III: THE GUILT OFFERING ALTERNATE NO. 2: ONE WHO CANNOT REACH OF AFFORD TWO TURTLEDOVES OR TWO SONS OF A DOVE:

1. One shall bring a tenth of flour with no oil and no frankincense poured on her for a Sin Offering.
2. The man shall take her to the Priest.
3. The Priest shall take a handful of her, her Memorial Offering from chapter two.
4. The Priest shall burn it as incense on the altar upon the Fire Offering.
5. The Priest atones for the man and will be forgiven.
6. The Priest shall take it for himself as a food offering.

NOTES
*Is not allowed to bring oil or frankincense to be poured on her for a Sin Offering.



Verses fourteen through sixteen

14 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 15 If a soul, she transgresses a transgression, and sins in ignorance from the Sacred Things (Sacredness, Holy Things) of hwhy; and shall bring ta-his Guilt Offering to hwhy of a perfect ram from the flock, in your evaluation of silver shekels on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sanctuary for a Guilt Offering: 16 And ta whom had sinned from the Sacred Things (Sacredness, Holy Things) shall be restored, and shall add ta-his fifth upon him and give him to the Priest: and the Priest shall atone upon him on the ram of the Guilt Offering, and shall be forgiven to him.

IV: THE GUILT OFFERING OF TRANSGRESSION IN IGNORANCE OF THE HOLY THINGS OF hwhy

1. One brings a perfect ram shall estimated in silver shekels by the Shekel of the Sanctuary.
2. The man shall pay the amount and add a fifth (20 percent) to it, meaning whatever the total of the value of the ram. Say ten silver shekels- plus add the fifth to it- which would be two silver shekels. So the man pays 12 silver shekels to the Priest.
3. The Priest shall atone for him by the ram of the Guilt Offering, and will be forgiven.

NOTES
*It's most likely that the Priests are the ones that possess the perfect ram to begin with, and are selling the ram to the one who transgressed by the Priests' evaluation of the perfect ram and adds twenty percent to the value.

As I noted in the Torah portion of Vay-Yigash, in the book of Genesis, the domesticated animals were the dominant source of revenue and the silver and gold were not a major resource for the majority of the Egyptians, who were farmers. During the first year of the seven years of famine, when Joseph as Viceroy of Egypt required the silver to buy grain, it was spent within a short period of time, and then Joseph accepted the domesticated livestock which lasted much longer than the silver. But both the silver and the animals were spent by the end of the first year. The issue of buying from the Priests in silver for the transgression of this Sin Offering would be one of the last options, and was probably a precursor on the Vay-Yigash account of Joseph with the Egyptians during the first year of the famine.



Verses seventeen through nineteen

17 And if a soul, she sins and has done her one from any of the Commandments of hwhy; which she should not have done of her, and does not know, and is guilty, and bears his iniquity, 18 and shall bring a perfect ram from the flock, in your evaluation for a Guilt Offering to the Priest: and the Priest shall atone upon him upon his ignorance of whom was ignorant, and he did not know, and shall be forgiven to him. 19 He is a Guilt Offering: guilty, shall be guilty to hwhy.

V: THE GUILT OFFERING OF IGNORANCE FROM THE COMMANDMENTS OF hwhy

1. The man takes a perfect ram in Moses's estimation that is in charge for a Guilt Offering to the Priest.
2. The Priest shall atone for the man and be forgiven.

NOTES
*Based on this requirement, in Leviticus 1:1, hwhy was speaking to Moses throughout these Commandments, and in verse eighteen of this week's Torah portion passage, when hwhy said "...in your evaluation...", he meant "Moses' evaluation". It doesn't note to whom after Moses would lead the evaluation in this week's Torah portion passage, but I would guess it would have been the High Priest.







CHAPTER 6
Leviticus 6:1-7
(5:20-26 in the Hebrew)

Lev 6:1 And hwhy spoke to Moses, to say, 2 If a soul, she sins, and transgresses a transgression against hwhy, and deceives (lies, dealt falsely) against ta-his associate (companion) in counting (overseeing, numbering, visiting), or in a deposit (pledge) of hand, or in a robbery, or has extorted (frauded) his neighbor; 3 or has found a lost thing, and was deceiving (lying, falsifying) against her, or had sworn upon falsehood; upon one from any which the Adam does by sinning in them: 4 And shall be, if has sinned, and is guilty, and shall return ta-the robbed thing which was robbed, or ta-the extorted thing that was extorted (frauded), or ta-the deposit (pledge) that was deposited (pledged) with him, or ta-the lost thing which was found, 5 or from all that was sworn upon him by deceiving (lying, falsifying), and shall repay him on his headness (principal), and his fifth shall be added upon him, to which he has to him shall give him in the day of his Guilt Offering. 6 And shall bring ta-his Guilt Offering to hwhy of a perfect ram from the flock in your evaluation for a Guilt Offering to the Priest: 7 And the Priest shall atone upon him to the Face of hwhy: and shall be forgiven to him from one from all that was done by being guilty on her.


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments).


VI: GUILT OFFERING:

A. ONE LIES IN THE NUMBERING (COUNTING) (Example: Can one count the amount of money that is exchanging at the New York Stock Exchange in New York City?).

B. ONE LIES WITH THE PURSE IN HAND (In other words, the amount that is in the purse without the other person seeing it).

C. ONE ROBBING, OR STEALING, FROM A PERSON (The Eighth Word (Commandment)).

 D. ONE DECIEVED HIS NEIGHBOR.

E. ONE FINDS A LOST THING AND LIED AGAINST THE OWNER (Example: "I don't have it").

F. ONE SWEARS UNTO FALSEHOOD (Example: How many times has the IRS lied to congress under oath?)

All must do these steps:
1. If one has sinned in these one has to return from the above issues that the person did and add a fifth (twenty percent) to its value at the time of the giving of his Guilt Offering.
2. One shall bring a perfect ram to the one on Moses' estimation for a Guilt Offering to the Priest.
3. The Priest shall atone for the one and will be forgiven.

NOTES
Anyone heard of the term "Embezzlement"? This definition of embezzlement comes from definitions.uslegal.com

"Embezzlement is the fraudulent appropriation of money used by someone entrusted with it's care on behalf of others, but uses it for his/her own purposes".

This is based on this week's Torah portion chapter.


Looking at the word TRANSGRESS

The Hebrew word for transgress is "mah-ahl"- Mem, Ayin, Lamed (lem). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4604, and its definition

From H4608; treachery, that is, sin: - falsehood, grievously, sore, transgression, trespass, X very.

from 4608 "mah-ahleh" (hlem), and its definition

From H5927; an elevation, that is, (concretely) acclivity or platform; abstractly (the relation or state) a rise or (figuratively) priority: - ascent, before, chiefest, cliff, that goeth up, going up, hill, mounting up, stairs.

from 5927 "ah-lah" (hle), and its definition

A primitive root; to ascend, intransitively (be high) or active (mount); used in a great variety of senses, primary and secondary, literally and figuratively: - arise (up). (cause to) ascend up, at once, break [the day] (up), bring (up), (cause to) burn, carry up, cast up, + shew, climb (up), (cause to, make to) come (up), cut off, dawn, depart, exalt, excel, fall, fetch up, get up, (make to) go (away, up), grow (over), increase, lay, leap, levy, lift (self) up, light, [make] up, X mention, mount up, offer, make to pay, + perfect, prefer, put (on), raise, recover, restore, (make to) rise (up), scale, set (up), shoot forth (up), (begin to) spring (up), stir up, take away (up), work.

This is where we our modern English word "mal", which makes part of the English words "malice", "malignant", "malware", etc.

These offerings are based on one who "deceives" others through acts of "selfishness". This Hebrew word of transgress also reveals that those who do these acts are "exalting" or "ascending" themselves in doing unrighteous acts instead of exalting the Creator and His righteousness. This is based on Lucifer, who in Hebrew is "Heyleyl" where we get our modern English word "Hell", the place named after him, in which he intended to "exalt" himself above hwhy, which is noted in the book of the prophet Ezekiel

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (Heyleyl (lylh) , 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 hidden (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 Sheol, to the sides of the pit.



Looking at the following words:

DECEIVES (LIES, DEALT FALSELY)

The Hebrew word for deceives (lies, dealt falsely) is "kah-khash"- Kaph, Khet, Shin (sxk). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3584, and its definition

A primitive root; to be untrue, in word (to lie, feign, disown) or deed (to disappoint, fail, cringe): - deceive, deny, dissemble, fail, deal falsely, be found liars, (be-) lie, lying, submit selves.


DEPOSIT (PLEDGE)

The Hebrew word for deposit (pledge) is "t'soo-meh"- Tav, Shin, Vav, Mem, Tav (tmwst). It is from Strong's Concordance number 8667, and its definition

A primitive root; to put (used in a great variety of applications, literally, figuratively, inferentially and elliptically): -    X any wise, appoint, bring, call [a name], care, cast in, change, charge, commit, consider, convey, determine, + disguise, dispose, do, get, give, heap up, hold, impute, lay (down, up), leave, look, make (out), mark, + name, X on, ordain, order, + paint, place, preserve, purpose, put (on), + regard, rehearse, reward, (cause to) set (on, up), shew, + stedfastly, take, X tell, + tread down, ([over-]) turn, X wholly, work.

from 6229 "ah-sahk" (qse), and its definition

A primitive root (identical with H6231); to press upon, that is, quarrel: - strive with.



TORAH PORTION COMMENTARIES

Notice that hwhy revealed these offerings throughout this week's Torah potion:

Chapters one through three: Non-atoning voluntary offerings
Chapter four: Unintentional sin offerings
Chapter five: Offerings of iniquities
Chapter six: Offerings of transgression by perversing and exulting themselves

The different sin offerings of chapters four through six reveal that these acts go deeper into one's soul and impacts them.



Throughout this week's Torah portion, every time the word "soul" is used in the Scripture, it indicates that the soul is feminine, and sometimes when the pronoun "she" or "her" is used in the offerings it shows that some of the offerings is feminine, because it relates to the man's soul.



Indirectly related of this week's Torah portion, I want to add this account regarding King David. Some of these kinds of offerings could have been those that King David would have made after he was informed of his sin when he went unto Bathsheba and killed Uriah the Hittite, which is noted in the book of the Pslams

Psalm 51:14 Deliver me from bloods, Elohim, Elohim of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy Righteousness. 15 Adonai, open my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For Thou desirest not sacrifice; or I would give it: Thou delightest not in an Elevation Offering. 17 The Sacrifices of Elohim are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, Elohim, Thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt Thou delight the Sacrifices of Righteousness, of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) and the Whole Burnt Offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine Altar.

Looking at the word WHOLE BURNT OFFERING

The Hebrew word for Whole Burnt Offering is "Kah-leel"- Kaph. Lamed, Yod, Lamed (lylk). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3632, and its defintion

From H3634; complete; as noun, the whole (specifically a sacrifice entirely consumed); as adverb fully: - all, every whit, flame, perfect (-ion), utterly, whole burnt offering (sacrifice), wholly.

from 3634 "kah-lahl" (llk), and its definition

A primitive root; to complete: - (make) perfect.

This Whole Burnt Offering is mentioned when Moses blessed the Tribe of Levi for the latter days, which is noted in the Torah portion of V'Zoth H'B'rakhah, in the book of Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 33:10 They shall teach Your Ordaninces to Jacob, and Your Teaching (Torah) to Israel: they shall put incense in Your Nostrils, and the Whole Burnt Offering upon Your Altar.

David knew that it takes more than just sacrificial offerings to get right with hwhy. David had to be atoned for his sins by having a broken and contrite heart first, then hwhy could accept David's offerings.



Rico Cortes of Wisdom in Torah Ministries noted that the reason one type of animal was used for more than one type of offering, so that the People would not know what kind of sin that person was repenting for. Thank you, Rico.



Rico Cortes, Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries, and other Messianic/Hebrew Roots teachers noted that all of these offereings are only for "unintentional sin". Back then, there was no offering for "intentional sin".



There was one account related in this week's Torah portion regarding Yeshua where the Jewish leaders willfully premeditated to put Him to death with the help of the Roman authorities, and was cruicified beyond recognition. And yet while on the cross, Yeshua said this to the Heavenly Father, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke

Luke 23:34 Then said Yeshua, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do....

But Rico Cortes noted in his Torah week's portion teaching that Yeshua came to the world to do away the willful rebellious sin.

!!!hy wllh


Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that if one was a Levite Priest, and saw a man coming with a bullock, the Priest would have an idea what kind of sacrifices he is potentially bringing. One can do the same thing with the other animals and the bread as well. That was a good perspective that Mark noted. Also Mark said that giving an animal for a sacrifice was equivalent of burning a $100 bill. The man cannot sell it nor eat it, and it was a loss for that man. Don't forget, the most valued asset during the Biblical times and ancient times was the livestock. When one gives an animal for the sacrifice, one was letting go of a valuable item.

Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries has a couple of good things to say in this week's Torah portion as well. Click on the image below to get the webpage. (Note: one has to be subscribed to his web blog).


BILL CLOUD
Torah Tidbit: Vayikra "A Living Sacrifice"
(Note: One has to be subscribed to his web blog)




Indirectly related, Bill Cloud noted a passage, which is noted by the apostle Paul in his letter to the assembly in Rome

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the Mercies of hwhy, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable unto hwhy, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that Good, and Acceptable, and Perfect, will of hwhy.



Indirectly related, the apostle Paul reminded them that Yeshua gave Himself for them (and us as believers) as a sacrifice to hwhy, which is noted in his letter to the assembly in Ephesus

Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Messiah also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to hwhy for a sweetsmelling savour.



I will end it by quoting from the apostle Paul in his book of the Hebrews

Hebrews 13:15 By Him therefore let us offer the Sacrifice of Praise to hwhy continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His Name.



That ends this week's Torah portion commentary.
