In this episode of The Original Torah Pearls, Beshalach (Exodus 13:17-17:16), we get some fascinating insights from the Hebrew in the story of the Exodus from Egypt and dig up a pearl regarding the poetic form of the Name of Yehovah. There follows an interesting discussion of the meaning and origin of Shabbat and the understanding of Manna.
I look forward to reading your comments!

So u think that our Creator wouldn’t allow the people to have a fire on the sabbath??? That they should freeze instead. I think it means not to cause strife on
the sabbath.
When pray tell r the people going to discern that Christianity and jc r false???
Why on earth r u guys teaching from pagan books, koran, the so called new testament. What become of not learning the ways of the heathen??? Come on.
I think that the 430 years May have started when Abraham cut the covenant and waited on Yehovah and had his vision of the Torches and darkness fell upon him and Yehovah said his descendants would be in slavery in coming days
According to Rabbi Isaac, Hur was Miriams’ husband. I don’t recall if he gave the source of that info.
Neh 13: v20. So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
v21. Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do [so] again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no [more] on the sabbath
*So by this, on the sabbath you cant have the doordash guy bring the field to you either. And if he tries to anyways and hes still on your porch and keeps ringing the bell, you can threaten to beat him up. Im really feelin this torah portion 👊😁👍
A close reading of the Torah reveals during the wilderness wonderings all domesticated animal slaughter had to be a sacrifice unto G-d. So they were not just eating lambs and cows anytime they wanted meat. Case in point, why did the people request meat to eat?
Just thinking….
Re:. “…Four 5ths were left behind:”
Many people have a hard time believing 3 million people could decend from the 70 people of Jacob’s family that went down to Egypt in only 3-4 generations. How realistic is it then for 15 million to decend from those same 70 people in only 3-4 generations?
I’m sure you’ve addressed this in the past, but I recall hearing somewhere that if there are 1000 women and 1 man, in Hebrew one refers to the group in the masculine. so just wondering what the possibility of the the 600,000 actually being inclusive of all genders/ages.
I just got to wondering how long Isra’el we’re actually slaves in Egypt. They were certainly welcomed when they got there and it would surely take a while to forget the story of David who saved them from a great famine.
Thank you Nehemiah for your faithfulness and love of YeHoVaH and truth. I was introduced to you from watching Shabbat night Live over the years. Now I have entered a season into listening to your shows as I continue to search for Biblical Truth. The show gave me a wider understanding on not only a Hebraic mindset on difficult issues but also challenging myself to the truth. YeHoVaH asks us to follow and he will reveal the details as we follow and develop our relationship with him.
the Tanakh does not teach this; shalom
Seems they would have…but then why did He send them quail so that they would have “flesh” to eat? shalom
I love the written word of Yahovah his Torah
The language of angels is Hebrew, the Holy Language
Hallelujah! Yes that’s our hope,,,,that HE is coming back! To stablishe his kingdom, much needed.
Got it
let’s be clear, there are “tongues of men and of angels”…and there are also “demonic tongues” (of fallen angels), so some of the so-called babbling should be treated with deep reverence (since it it the Ruach HaKodesh who is speaking), and some with great “concern”…much discernment (and greater reverence, perhaps) needed. shalom
Indeed………YHVH is the source of our Yeshua! And He came as He said He would, lowly. And He will come again as He said He would, exalted.
I am amazed that many believe they only had manna to eat for 40 yrs. Would God really do that? Manna was their grain and their animals grain. They had their flocks with them. They could have had manna pancakes, lamb chops, steaks. It was their bread!
In chapter 14, the Hebrew verb in verse 14 is in the niphal or passive form, so rather than “The LORD will fight for you…”, it seems better translated “The LORD will be embattled for you…” Verse 27 supports this were the word translated “overthrew” is וַיְנַעֵר which means he “shook off” the Egyptians. It’s as if Yehovah says “Bring it on!” Then the Egyptians see their wheels falling off and realize they are fighting Him and not Israel, He shakes them off, and then Moses closes the waters over them.
I thank everyone, especially the young for teaching me the words of my beloved
Keep it up . SHABBAT SHALOM FROM AUSTRALIA ?
How much manna where they allowed a day?Was it an omer a day? If so how much is in an omer?
Great idea about the mentallity of a slave. I was thinking thats probably why Yahovah had Moses raised in pharoah’s house, because he had been free his whole life. Moses was able to help them think differently.
Praise yahshua all,
I tend to agree with you sister, now let us get a bit churchy as that seems to be the tasteless flavour in our day. Shaul says some plant and some water but elohim gives the increase in short we grow in him, as he allows us to grow, and quite sure if we choose incorrectly elohim will correct us as he deems fit for us. For example the three possible routes we will take to how the benei yisrael left bondage (the fifth), is elohims leading as we should and are hopefully trusting him, not man, unless he is an instrument in elohims hand, to mould and shape us. For instance and not wanting to get personal, as this is a personal relationship with our creator. There are three who we listen to in these transmissions and they don’t all share the same revelation on who the messiah or moshiach is. All can be correct on his appearance (there will be a messianic period), the difference will lie in the scheduled event ie: when, the first or the second occasion and his or the identity of messiah/moshiach. The fact is that not all possibilities will be correct. So we can be correct in the hebrew appilication, but this does not extend to determination of the correctness of ones personal relationship with elohim, or in this case our application in other languages. In some countries they have numerious variations in one particular language, even hebrew has the scriptural old and modern hebrew, new hebrew, our scholars will have to bow to the fact that they are not entirely the same. My lean towards a superiour stance in the last sentence is intentional, the spelling of superiour is also intentional, with emphasis on the our, intentional, well, that our intentions, should be global. If i may in my insignificant capacity, the only globalisation that should be our prayer, is a deep ruach and emet (spirit and truth) walk with elohim, but once again this is personal. In the tasteless section of scripture, it speaks about and many are quotations, of mockers and the mouth being the challenge to control, (place the brain into gear, what is pure, what is protitable etc, before engaging the mouth). Should our mouth be conquered then we basically have won a great victory. Well my scriptures tell me, that no battle is won without, el gibour/our elohim, who according to shaul alone gives the increase. So what is our part? Sow and water, for it is elohim that we are serving not man, so let elohim develope our personal relationship with him, for he alone gives and takes and he alone should increase in us. Sorry brothers but this was necessary. May yahshua bless you. Shalom and remember that he loves us all. Especially those who are trying to please him.
I have so thoroughly enjoyed the richness of your discussions. Thank you. However, periodically I hear mocking of other people’s beliefs. I speak in tongues and fully believe that this is from Yehovah. I also believe in divine healing. I don’t believe that the air of superiority that comes with making fun of other people’s beliefs is ever pleasing to Yehovah.
