Torah Pearls #20 – Tetzaveh (Exodus 27:20-30:10)

I agree nehemia, its possible with the synagogue being a high place, but i would say that for sure, certain churches are high places. They have their priests, alters, incense, and sacrifice (considering its supposed to become the flesh when they eat it), and its all “holy” and replaced that old covenant. I think its like ezekiel describes; theyve eaten upon the mountains

Nehemia, im a heretic too! 😉, i love that you embrace that term, and im sure theres a lot more of us, were just not incorporated

In regards to olam, forever, if i can play satans advocate here, 2 torah portions ago you interpreted exodus 21:6:
*”Nehemia: It says, “and he will serve you forever.” And then “forever” is defined in Leviticus 25 as up until the Jubilee year,”
-Same exact word. But, i think theres an answer in proverbs that makes it forever:
*Pro 29: v21. He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become [his] son at the length.

Keith I am a member ot the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the ordination sounds almost the same as ours.

Nehemiah I know in my church we also have the Urim and Thumam.

I would like to thank you for this great teachings

WHILE THE HISTORICAL VALUE OF HAVING YEHOVAH MIND ON MATTERS AS HE COMMUNICATED HIS THOUGHTS at etzaveh (Exodus 27:20-30:10), AT SOME POINT THE PROPHETIC CHANGE THAT WAS FORETOLD HAS OCCURRED AT ISAIAH THE 65TH CHAPTER IN CONJUNCTION WITH MALACHI THE 3RD CHAPTER THAT IS FINDING FURTHER FULFILLMENT THROUGH DANIEL’S PROPHECY AT DANIEL 12:3 BEING APPOINTED BY THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVER IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE MESSIAH – WHO THUS PROVIDED THE ANSWER CONCERNING THE PROPER CHANNEL THAT HE WOULD BE USING BEFORE HIS RETURN TO GIVE CLEAR SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND GUIDANCE: “Then Peter said: “Lord, are you telling this illustration just to us or also to everyone?” 42 And the Lord said: “Who really is the faithful steward, the discreet one, whom his master will appoint over his body of attendants to keep giving them their measure of food supplies at the proper time? 43 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so! 44 I tell you truthfully, he will appoint him over all his belongings. “ Luke 12:41-44. MEANWHILE AS THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE HAS ITS PLACE ITS THE PURE LANGUAGE OF BIBLE TRUTH THAT THE MESSIAH HAS MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR TRUTH SEEKERS TO REST THERE HOPE UPON AS FORE BY ZEPHANIAH: “For then I will change the language of the peoples to a pure language, So that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah, To serve him shoulder to shoulder.’” Zephaniah 3:9 THUS AS INTERESTING AS IT IS TO TRY AN UNDERSTANDING THE THINGS BEING MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST WHAT IT ALL REALLY AMOUNTS TO IS SOMETHING THAT THE MESSIAH TAUGHT WHEN HE SAID: “Nobody sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old outer garment, for the new piece pulls away from the garment and the tear becomes worse. 17 Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins. If they do, then the wineskins burst and the wine spills out and the wineskins are ruined. But people put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” Matthew 9:16,17

That was a great point you made about us each being accountable to Yehovah and not some religious authority figure, and what you said about making an idol of somebody’s words… WOW! Nowadays it seems everybody’s got their little pet rabbi or pastor that they’ll follow to the ends of the Earth without bothering to check whether or not that person’s teaching gels with Scripture.

“Continually” is actually an accurate interpretation for the lighting of the lamp. The word “continually” implies intermittance; whereas, the word “continuously” implies without interruption.

Is there any way you could expound on your statements concerning Josephus and the 4 vowels? Also you mentioned Josephus and 2 things being unlawful for him which were pronouncing the name and revealing the 10 commandments. am I remembering this correctly and where in his writings are these statements please?

Thanks for your teachings and press on!

Concerning the duration of the burning of the lamp in the tabernacle, !Sam3:3 (the lamp had not yet gone out) seems to indicate that it was not obligatory for it to burn all night.

About the “ineffable name”, I think we see a source of it in Jer 44:26. Although it refers specifically to Jews in egypt, there may also be character and lifestyle implication for the rest.

About Josephus: nothing destroys the value of a good argument more than overstating a case. While his comment on “4 vowels” does not tell us how to pronounce the name, it certainly does limit the options. Every source that comes to mind has affirmed that yothe, hey, and waw function as vowels, in addition to their function as consonants. I see a serious “Bilaam’s ass” incident in the future of your ministries, and I wonder if the technical failure of the Name webinar last night was the first of it. Wishing you the best, but of course yhwh first.

“Elijah” is coming…and will “restore all things”

Amen. Nehemia got on a roll about 40 min. into it, and I must agree (and it goes across the spectrum of believers). So, looking at scripture we can see how men of YHVH could seek an answer when they too had no Temple, High Priest, Urim nor Thummim. Use good discernment, as there are good and not-so-good examples.

So many of us came to Christianity with empty heads and hands. Some of us fattened our heads with doctrines but our hands remained empty.-” You can’t “HAND”LE the TRUTH.——- ” A Few Good Men”

I LOVE Deut. 30:11-14! Repeated in NT. When I get frustrated studying Torah to understand correctly what יהוה is saying, I read these verses off my inside doorpost. Thanks for how you all have helped in this walk.

Recently I read that Samuel was ascending to the High Place in 1 Samuel 9:12-13. I was shocked, but not as confused as I would have been had you all not called attention to the fact that King David, among many others, had done it as well and seemingly thought they were doing the right thing.

What shocked me was that Yehovah had just revealed in Samuel’s ear one day before he went to the High Place that Saul was coming and would be ruler over Israel and save them from the Philistines, so He hadn’t rejected Samuel due to his action of going to the High Place. I get the impression that Yehovah was ok with Samuel operating as the “seeer” and using the High Place. This confuses me. Do you have anything you can share with me that may clarify why Yehovah was allowing this? …even if it’s chakah sp? 🙂

A fascinating topic/discussion around 52 minutes. Is this the key reason why the Tetragrammaton was not written in the Greek New Testament scriptures?

E-e-e-haw! I hear you say, Keith, that you know you’re “in exile”!
I too, know I’m a child of captivity, scattered and so alien from His covenant instructions.
Abba’s Hebrew timing/TORAH/tetragrammeton, have been so deceitfully labeled ‘abominable,’ yet they are THE MARK of having escaped the abominable bonds of idolatry! How many here in the good ‘old U.S.of A, wanta hear that, though? We’re bred to believe this is REAL freedom!).
I’ve been set free, free indeed alright, I’m now FREE TO OBEY TORAH YHVH! Now that’s real freedom. Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed! Praise to the Father through YESHUA His son, born to die to stand up straight [risen, indeed] and in your words Keith, shout “Teruah!”
