In this episode of The Original Torah Pearls, Kedoshim (Leviticus 19:1-20:27), we discuss what it means to profane the name of the Lord, who is “the Lord sabaoth”, the difference between rob and steal, lie and deceive, and the origin of “Love God, love your neighbor” as the summary of the Torah. All this and more in this week’s Torah Pearls.
I look forward to reading your comments!

Torah Pearls #30 – Kedoshim (Leviticus 19:1-20:27)
You are listening to The Original Torah Pearls with Nehemia Gordon, Keith Johnson, and Jono Vandor. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.
Jono: G’day to Kieran and Donna over in New South Wales. And wherever you may be around the world, it is good to have your company. It is time for Pearls from the Torah Portion with Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon. G’day, gentlemen.
Keith: G’day.
Nehemia: Hey! G’day, it’s great to be here from Jerusalem. It’s a shout-out to Abby over in Charlotte; thanks for listening to the program.
Keith: I’ve got a shout-out to my son, Kyle, from New York City, who’s now listening to Torah Pearls. Way to go, Kyle.
Jono: Way to go, Kyle from New York.
Nehemia: New York City!
Jono: There we go. And today we are in Kedoshim, which is Leviticus 19, verse 1, to 20, verse 27. And it begins like this, “And Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: You shall be holy, for I, Yehovah, your Elohim am holy.’” Now, we…that was the end of Leviticus 11, I think, it’s reiterating. “Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father and keep My Sabbaths: I am Yehovah your God.” Now, this is again reiterating the fourth and fifth commandments, I think. But, Nehemia, you were going to say?

Just curious, am I a stumbling block if I fix pork and shrimp for my husband because he doesn’t believe that any food is unclean? I just came to this knowledge around 3-4 years ago and I don’t push it on him.
to much christain crap in the segment.
isn’t just the priests that shouldn’t use clothing that is of a mixture of wool and linen.??
Cursing the deaf, stumbling block to the blind .. reminds me that HE created us in his image… what does that say about Him when we are not kind
I love your podcasts!
Re: Lev 19:17, to hate in your heart, reminds me of the controversial section (sorry) in Matt 5:28: “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” The reason I mention it is because I have heard it used to say that Yeshua was ADDING to God’s law.
Perhaps he was just acknowledging that thoughts in our mind often translate to action being eventually taken. Police are aware of this and search a criminals (ie) computer for a history of “hate speech” etc.
Can’t be that surely. How did Sarah conceived in her old age, then?
Nehemia may Yehovah bless you abundantly for not making boxes for Him. It blesses so many. Wisdom is like a pearl of great price. When one finds it. Spends all that they have to buy it.
Too!! Not to or two.. & yes it’s just one book before and after Yah’shua that makes YeHoWaH’s Word
to much christian junk.
Shalom, I felt like Nehemia’s explaination was cut because of time 🙁 Regarding the shaatnez, is it forbbiden due to the same thing explained on barley and wheat? You are paying for one material but it is actually mixed therefor is not okay to participate in that type of markets? Or is there any archeological proof of what happen with this material? Help
I am wondering why you didn’t comment on men having sexual relations with men. It was written in both Acherei Mot and Kedoshim, yet you said not a word. Since the penalty was death, don’t you think it important to discuss? I know politically it is taboo- but is Yehovah’s word also taboo?
Does this mean post-menopausal women are not allowed to have sex?
1 Enoch has info about pre flood.
Good day! I understand not breeding a horse and a donkey. So why did King David and others have mules?
Nehemia, can you please explain verse 23 in Leviticus 19, does it apply to fruit all over the world, like in the usa, or just the land of Israel, cause the verse says when you enter into the land, cause what about supermarket fruit that we dont know is orlah, and what if we cannot get access to certified fruit from a tree older then 3-5 years, I hope you can answer soon as possible for I did not know about this until yesterday when I came across the verse.
The explanation Nehemiah gave regarding the feeding of the poor (Lev. 19: 9-10) is so wonderful. This concept provides the poor & the stranger with food for their bodies and dignity for the soul. Well-being has been replaced with welfare by taking away the use of their hands and replacing it with an attitude of self-entitlement which quenches the desire to improve oneself.
By keeping this commandment there would be no need to steal or lie regarding the fruit of the field that was taken thus benefiting the owner of the field & vineyard.
Also the stranger would see that obedient Israel is a light to all nations:
“So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
Love the explanation of being holy
I would like to thank you guys for teaching us some very important things in the Word
a comment on prohibition of mixing species with and without seed
if the prohibition is against fertility then it would be forbidden because there are no seeds present in the fruits to reproduce
like a man with man and a woman with woman
to be very plain spoken ; any sexual activity done that would not result in fertility is wrong it is not holy sexual activity because it will not produce fruit
before the flood , the earth was corrupt
meaning ? the flesh of men and animals and angels had interbred and produced offspring that were corrupt?
the flesh of the animals and man had come from the earth
was that the earth that was corrupt
Thank your for sharing your wonderful hebrew/Torah knowledge with us all Nehemia, abundant blessings always
I agree, that would be really great!
Wow! Power packed! I will listen over and over, til I get it all! Love you, guys! Glory to YeHoVAH!
really enjoyed this ! thanks
Thank you Nehemia, I wished you would open a Torah class for serious students who want to further understand the Torah. Awesome program as always blessings
Excellent, again. Regarding v.16, I thought of the Good Samaritan.
Couldn’t it be that the sheep cloth not be mixed with goat a parallel to mean if we belong to YHVH we where sheep’s clothes?
Just a thought for conversing.
Fascinating but I got a bit lost towards the end. Are we not supposed to wear mixed fabrics as in Deut. 22:11 seems to suggest?
I just Love your Torah Pearls and you, Nehemia and Keith and Jono, do this very well and keep it interesting, as well as educational and you also All have a great sense of humour. Did it rub off from Michael Rood, I wonder? as he is just as “funny” sometimes as well as serious. It breaks the ice, doesn’t it?
Outstanding looking forward to more
We can’t be holy. Only the resurrection power of God’s Salvation can change the heart to achieve that.
Await the next portion
Love it and learnt more every second of the discussion . Thank you
great stuff
Keep Keeping On! It is refreshing to hear all the words over and over again. If we never meet, may we see each other on that Mountain Top.
Hallelu Yah!
Nehemia -What is in ones heart and mind, would this not be the same with ‘Thou shalt not covet” as you explained in v-17? Keith- mixed seed, could we apply the teaching in Matt. 13 the tares and wheat?
This was wonderful! Home and sick so no Shul for me but i have been well fed and don’t feel left out. This was likw Torah Talk at Shul. Thank you, thank you!
Nehemia, about mixed seed: Would Hybrid plants then be forbidden? They are not open pollenated.
