Torah Pearls #42 – Matot (Numbers 30:2-32:42)
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 Michael and Evie in Perth, Western Australia and wherever you may be around the globe, 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.
Jono: I know last week I did read out a comment from a listener, Darren Chan. I’m going to read out another one of his because boy, this is a good comment and g’day to Darren. And he says, “hey guys, please make this world a better place and create an unbiased, enhanced new and improved version of the scriptures. Either an NIV – Nehemia Inspired Version – or a KJV – the Keith Johnson version – or an all in one NKJV Nehemia Keith and Jono version. Make available in iPad interactive format with Torah Pearl commentary, bonus outtakes, video, including a musical score featuring the singing voice of Nehemia Gordon with Keith’s shofar blowing and Jono’s guitar shredding. Seriously, for us English speakers we need an accurate translation of the scriptures. Nehemia continually reveals the tragedy of the biased translations we have so diligently based our misguided faith upon. Thanks”. Well Darren, that’s just a great comment my friend and thank you so much and to everybody who leaves comments, we really appreciate it. I don’t know… I don’t that really just, the Torah portion, it’s all about me pitting my Bible against Keith’s really, isn’t it? Isn’t that what it’s about?
Keith: Yeah, it really is. What’s nice is that Nehemia gets to be the referee.
Jono: Yeah.
Keith: You know what’s amazing about…
Nehemia: You’re both wrong!
Keith: Hey, what’s really amazing about it, and we’ve talked a lot about this for the last several years and I think we’ve talked about it… I’m sure we’ve talked about it on the show, but I would hope people have at least two versions that they’re reading as we’re going through the Torah Pearls. Because even Nehemia – you know what he’ll do is he’ll have his computer up. You know, ladies and gentlemen, he’s got this thing all set up and he’s got different windows in his deal so he can click any number of I think about 20 different versions and he can ask us and set us up that way.

stay away from Christianty. As it is a heathen religion.
Wow, I always wondered why they shaved the women’s hair after capture them and taking them to wife. Thanks!
Amazing Torah Pears! I got a lot of nuggets today! BARUCH HASHEM!
what if the wife leaves on her own accord??
Good lesson on vows guys TY and YBY all😊🙏❤️
I’m convinced that all my foolish swearing, and taking lightly any vow I’ve ever made was not just forgiven, I had to bear every vain thing spoken from my big mouth, no blood atonement or confession can bring restoration redemption only comes by usually suffering for years, Yehovah absolutely does not take it lightly, my conclusion of the matter is that when we have learned through suffering then and only then may Yehovah; by his amazing love forgive us, in the end I can look back and be satisfied for obedience is to fulfill what we have lightly esteemed.
I got the best idea for reading the Torah and New Testament Greek, first take a few years of Hebrew and a few years of Greek, then use a inter linear to help with all the forms the verbs and nouns, Participle, infinitive, passive forms, for helping you when you forget how to parse and conjugate the forms, then look at some translations and their interpretations, so that you can discern the agendas and extremes and then ask Yehovah for the wisdom to dissect it and then make a honest interpretation with fear and trembling: simple.
Why yahweh and not Yehovah?
Why yahweh and not Yehovah?
Keep da patience and faith tzadik
I thank god for divorce often. Blessed be Yehovah for giving us a way out of hell like relationships and or marriages
2nd time Moshe gets told he’s about to die, we read the first time in the last Parashat. Shavua tov
If Archbishop Stephen Langton is credited for dividing the Bible into chapters, then who is credited for dividing the Bible into sentences?
great discussion on vows, on marriage vows or any vows. Divorce does not release you from your vows and isn’t worth the paper its written on. it is for the ancient contracts as you mentioned. That is both old and new let your ya be a ya and your nay be a nay. So be carful what you speak. makes sense, when GOD spoke it came to be.
Helpful as usual. Can somebody says something about Moses family, because the bible never told us what happened to them. Did they go back to Median and got assimilated into them? What has happened to the two sons, no inheritance, no descendants in Israel? Thank you.
You cannot use the law to vow to not keep it. This is the worst example of zeal I have ever heard of. Can I vow to YHWH to kill all the Jews? What a neat trick any criminal can just vow to rob you and he has no choice because now he is doing YHWH’s work. YOU CANNOT MAKE AN UNLAWFUL VOW BECAUSE IT STRIPS EVERYONE OF THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS. Israel made a peace covenant with the Amorites while Moses was mourning his brother and sister. The Gibionites was the first to accept. According to you Nehemiah all they had to do was vow not to kill the Canaanites and they would have no choice but to do everything they wished. Joshua should have been the one to be put to death for being presumptuous and deciding without inquiring through the high priest. The people were not obligated to keep an unlawful vow and should have done more than grumble against the leadership.
What happens if my daughter lives in her mother’s house? Does it apply to when if she let’s me know?
Off topic, but can you give me any scriptural reference to a messiah ben Joseph?
Hilarious ?
Shalom,
Did I miss the part about Caleb?
Shalom! thanks for the highlight on versions of the Bible. Has Nehemia finished the Hebrew Matthew? we are interested in copies
Did anyone see that the Offering given to the Levites, was actually a tithe taken out of the Sons of Israel & the Men of War?
Would Moses asking Hoban the Midianite to in essence lead them be a portion of the reason Yehovah ordered Moses to lead the destruction of the Midisnites? He said, “…You know where we should camp in the desert, and you can be our eyes…” , It appears for a moment Moses is Relying on Hoban rather than fully relying on Yah to lead them .
Could Numbers 10:29 through 30 to have been part of the reason that Yehovah order Moses to be the one to Order the destruction of the Midianites?
Nehemia what is the difference between an oath and a vow?
So, now the NKJV stands for Nehemia-Keith-Jono Version? Outstanding!
So let me question, is it by making statements or specifically by speaking The Name…
When I was young, in the sixties, no matter what the stores’ return policy was if her father did not like the purchase it was returnable without question. Many of Texas laws were based on scripture.
With the slaughter of the Midianites, you mentioned that Tzipora and her kids are Midianites. We don’t know Tzipora’s fate from the Torah. Are there any midrashim them resonate with you?
Shalom Nehemia,
Very interesting midrash as usual and stimulating. Land of Midianites are not of Israel, explains why Moshe is approved by YHWH to marry Tzipora.
And names of places repeated in other areas are in dedication purposes; really makes sense..
Todah! brachot.
we appreciate Nehemia and the TORH Pearls Thankyou from Oklahoma
Gentiles are people too?
