Dedicated to Our father Abraham Ben Terach Ben Nachor

Hwhy, YHWH the name of the creator in Paleo letters of the Hebrew language.

vSwhy The true name for the Son Yahushua, which many are still calling by the name,
Jesus.

Abraham was the man chosen by YHWH, to enlighten His Torah and the major
covenants and promises to the world that He made with him.

Do you know what they are and how they affect You?

Three major religions of the world espouse Abraham as their father; therefore our website
is appropriately called by the name www.abrahamic-faith.com. In the Scripture YHWH gave
testimony categorically stating Abraham obeyed My Voice, kept my charge and
guarded my commandments, my statutes and my TOROT. Beresheeth (Genesis) 26:5

He also called Abraham, My friend

Yasha’yahu (Isaiah) 41:8 But You, Yah’sar’el (Israel), are my servant, Ya’acob
(Jacob) whom I have chosen, the descendents of Abraham My friend.

Would you like to know why this man was chosen and how this affects you, and your
family? Would you like to be called YHWH’s friend?

For us to even begin to understand Abraham takes much time, patience, and study, of this
great man; because through him, we begin to see the need for humanity to come together
rather than be divided and fighting each other. Hence, YHWH saw it fit and placed the
promises with him, that live to this day. Abraham's monotheism is the only one that exists
and is verified historically serving YHWH our maker; because we are the sons of Abraham,
searching for the ancient paths that lead to the Redeemer, The Tzadik One, known as the
Mashiach, the Middle-Pillar, the redeemer of Yah’sar’el (Israel).

Yirmeyah (Jeremiah) 6:16 Thus says hwhy, Stand in my halacha

(commandments), and see, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is,
and guard my halacha (commandments), and you will find rest for your souls. But
they said, We will not walk in it.

Are you going to walk in hwhy‘s halacha (commandments), or, are you going to say no like
the generations before us, who perished in disobedience? Hopefully these scriptures will
help you make this decision. Rabbi Simon has gone out of his way to give the best flavour,
and best understanding, of the Scriptures from a Middle-Eastern Hebraic mindset, rather
than a Western Roman/Greek mindset.

We only pray that in all things may our heavenly Father’s name be glorified, and the Tzadik
One He placed to redeem mankind be honoured.

7
The ancient Hebrew text Midrash Raba, Parasha 38 tells us, the Babylonians (not so)
kindly turned Abraham's offer down. Abraham fled from Babylon and began to teach while
roaming from town to town and from kingdom to kingdom, until he arrived in the Land of
Israel (Maimonides, Yad HaHazakah (The Mighty Hand), Idolatry Rules, Chapter 1).

We Yah’sar’el (Israel) will overcome with YHWH El as our head, Hallelu-Yah and praise be
to His set-apart and glorious Name under which we live!

Why the Hebrew roots Scriptures?

For people in Pakistan and India, which number over one billion people, and many still
unaware of YHWH, who is Yahushua, who they call Yesu, Yeshu or Eeshua. It is essential
that we equip our brethren working in those areas, with a translation that prepares them for
effective evangelism and deep learning of the meat of Scriptures. For far too long they
have had to settle for second rate translations being fed milk and never reaching the level
for eating real meat, yet these are the people, who are at the forefront of debates with the
unbelievers. The time has arrived for this change to occur and occur quickly. It does not
help, mingling local deity names in the text of scriptures, which render the translations they
have as weak, because they are not Hebraically accurate.

We believe hwhy (YHWH) has chosen certain people for certain End-Times tasks. Simon
Altaf, an ex-Muslim, one day was minding his own business, quite happy in his little world,
working in a plush investment bank in London, when, the Master Yahushua, called him and
changed his life forever. He was being carefully prepared for this task over ten years, and
told in no uncertain terms by Yahushua, to avoid the feasts of the nations, and their ways.
He did not fully understand the reasons then; but learning from the Master step by step,
realized many years later, why this preparation was important. Being from the background
of the kohen (Lewi), who could better expound Scriptures than one from the line YHWH
chose as teachers, and mentors for Yah’sar’el (Israel), and for the nations, for YHWH had
said the following about His chosen priests.

Malaki (Malachi) 2:4-7 And you shall know that I have sent this command to you,
as being My covenant with Lewi, said hwhy of hosts. (5) My covenant with him was
life and shalom (peace); and I gave them to him for fear and he feared Me, and
stood in awe of My Name. (6) The Torah of truth was in his mouth, and
unrighteousness was not found on his lips: he walked with Me in shalom (peace)
and straightness, and turned many away from crookedness. (7) For the lips of a
kohen (priest) should guard knowledge, and they should seek the Torah from his
mouth: for he is the messenger of hwhy of hosts.

Sacred Names
The true names of both the Father, hwhy YHWH, and the Son, vSwhy Yahushua, are a
gateway to opening up the flood gates of heaven. The power in the Sacred Names are
underestimated by many but also abused by some who have no spiritual power left. Yet
they hold spiritually, the keys to many areas in Scripture, and many areas of our life; but
the evil one does not want you to know this. Please note people can call upon common
titles such as Lord, which is Adon in Hebrew and there is nothing wrong with these being
used as long as the one using them knows it is used for the Holy One of Israel. The nation
that hwhy chose to glorify Himself with is Israel. This translation will help to remove two
thousand years of anti-Semitic theology and hatred, and build a love for the nation of

8
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and the people. If you have been saved from sin, then you have been
grafted into the natural Olive tree, which is Yah’sar’el (Israel). Welcome home brothers and
sisters. We refuse to get into arguments about what is and is not the Sacred Names
pronunciations; because we know exactly what the Murashu texts have confirmed for us
ahead of time, clearly the True Name hwhy being, Yah-oo-weh. We know some pronounce
it as Yahuwah or the many other variants, we acknowledge some of these variants
because they were used once a year in the Temple by the High Priest in the Aharonic
Benediction. We condemn no one and do not claim a chip on our shoulders as many in the
sacred name movement are doing.

We have proof of the text reading of the exact pronunciation contrary to many opinions six
centuries prior to Yahushua’s birth. We know how to pronounce the exact name; but if
people want to pronounce it differently, then that option is up to them, and the Master still
loves them. In the same way, we know the Son’s name, the common appellation Jesus
Christ is used by many. We do not condemn them in anyway but we respect people’s right
to use the name this way though we should use his actual name to glorify Him. The term
Jesus is not the name of Zeus the Greek elohim and we reject the meaning of the name
Jesus as pig God as many foolishly attest. Most of these people operate from arrogance
and or educated ignorance because they have no knowledge of ancient languages and
their sounds. The author speaks four languages fluently and reads and understands three
ancient languages. This is not a good way to fight over the name, we steer clear of such
error. Neither is it wrong to use the short form of the name Yeshua, we encourage its use.
One caution the name should not be used in an unclean state but substituted with Adonai.

Doctrine of the Ruach Ha Kodesh and Torah Polygamy

Often we are excited by new translations of the Hebrew Scriptures, only to be disappointed
by the descriptions we read of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Set-Apart Spirit), though being the
feminine side of hwhy, the popular error continues to appease, instead of calling her a
rightful She. The Ruach has been changed to the masculine form. Can you imagine the
error, two masculines in the substance of YHWH and the Son? This is sordid and lewd,
while it is Father, Mother and the Son, a family in Elohim, revealed by His mercy to us.

Rabbi Simon Altaf is about to break free of this mold, not respecting mammon or men, we
go with the TRUTH, being the kohen (priest) of YHWH, and speaking truth in love since
this is what YHWH said is in the kohen’s mouth. We will highlight and translate where
necessary, the words to effectually show how YHWH, and His plurality, exists as a reality.
We will show the chochmah (wisdom) the left side of the Sefirotic tree, to be both Abbah
and Mother combined together; because the Abbah is the source of all living beings. We
show clearly the Son from the bosom of the Father YHWH, and do not shy away from
quoting ancient sources in Judaism that believe in this. We will show how all seven Spirits
(feminine) of YHWH, though obscured by the earlier translators, were all trying to bring the
Son, Yahushua, to this earth.

We will show, Torah polygamy and monogamy; not the model of the world which is
wrecking society, was, and still is, the correct model for Israelite lifestyle, this is being
restored in these last days. Torah polygamy was widely practiced in both ancient and
modern Israel, both in the land, and in the exile. Rabbi Gershom Solomon’s edict on
European polygamy, was a man made ban to protect Jewish lives, and this is no longer in
effect. We need to do what our Father in heaven desires and obey His instructions, and
leave all popular errors behind. Some men may choose to follow Torah polygamy or Torah
9
monogamy; as long as Torah is upheld, there is nothing wrong with either. Note today’s
society does not practice Torah monogamy.

Torah monogamy excludes serial model of divorce; removing one spouse to obtain
another, destroying childrens lives. If men and women want to obstruct YHWH, then let
them do that, as YHWH is equitable and just, and will deal with such people both here and
in the coming age with righteousness.

Two House
YHWH very clearly, and very early on, started to show us how the nation of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) would be divided into two smaller countries called, the Two Houses of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), North and South. He then started to address them as the House of Yahudah, and
the House of Yah’sar’el (Israel). He showed, in numerous passages in Scripture, that He
would be the one who would unite (being the middle-pillar) the Son, Yahushua, and the
Two Houses back together again. We have full Two House belief, and believe that in the
end of days, the Third Temple will be rebuilt upon the return of Yahushua. He will bring
shalom (peace) between both houses, uniting them back as one country Yah’sar’el (Israel)
again. The allegory of the two brides is not that they become one but they become akhad,
united as one, to love their Saviour, Messiah Yahushua.

End-Times Beast
We will show who the End-Times beast is, from the pages of Beresheeth (Genesis), to the
pages of Gilyahna (Revelation), the book of Revelation being the (Apocalypse) to come.
We will show how the Islamic beast is living many precepts of what Yah’sar’el (Israel)
should be doing, while this is the counterfeit faith. Once you know the end-times beast you
no longer will fear the Anti-Messiah, or his hordes, and you will be prepared to deal with
them, with full preparation both for evangelism, and for defense when attacked. We will
also show how the other corrupted religions, masquerading as truth, will link into the end-
times beast.

Fit for purpose

A translation cannot just be any type of translation, it needs to be fit for purpose, and we
believe this will do the job where many others have fallen short. This is essentially a study
type Scripture, which will help many understand the deep, hidden secrets of YHWH’s
Torah. It does not contain everything; but it contains enough hints, and direct quotes, to
help in many areas of study. Order the complete Bible or the Renewed Covenant writings
to follow, to complete the story. Praise YHWH Elohim that Simon Altaf was chosen for this
task, a man who has devoted his time to reaching the Muslims, and other unsaved people
in those lands, with a true love for both Muslims and the Jewish people, to bring
reconciliation in Messiah Yahushua, the One and Only mediator, between Elohim and men.
YHWH has made him the bridge, between the East and the West, to help open many blind
eyes to see again.

Style of Translation
Wherever possible we have used direct Hebrew, word for word translation, and where
needed, we have adopted a thought for thought, or, paraphrase translation, so this is a
mixed translation. It is not possible to produce a word for word translation. You can never
take the Hebrew language and do a direct word for word translation. If anyone says that

10
they have, this would be totally inaccurate, as a direct word for word translation will make
no sense when retranslated to other languages of the world.

A case in point; when I say, Mah shalom-kha, which is masculine, these words are
translated, How are you; but it actually is a thought translation, not a word for word
translation, because if you translate this as a word for word it becomes, what peace
yours? However, the thought is, how are you? In Hebrew, the word shalom is used in a
very wide category of words, so you can see if we translated this word for word, then some
of the sentences would make no sense in another language. This would make no sense to
any Westerner; but is easily understood by Hebrew people, hence why we have used
direct word, and thought, both, to highlight what YHWH, the author of the Scriptures, is
trying to convey through a given piece of text.

In another instance in the Hebrew in Genesis chapter 30:2… if we read the literal Hebrew it
says Jacob’s nose glowed against Rachel. What does that mean? It does not mean he
looked like a reindeer with love oozing out of his nose but it actually meant that Jacob was
very angry against Rachel. Hopefully now you will appreciate the problems people like us
face when we translate from one language to another.

There are also nuances of the language that will cause you to choose words that best fit
the criteria of translating the relevant passages. A word can have many meanings in
Hebrew, therefore you cannot translate the word the same way in each passage,
sometimes you have to choose the meaning that best fits the context of the paragraph, and
this has certainly been done in this instance to help the reader. An example of this is the
Hebrew word eretz meaning earth. Now the word earth is not always the whole world, at
times in the Hebrew language it can mean, the world; but at other times it is the country,
the province, or, a piece of ground, we have kept that in mind and done just that. We pray
and hope that you will thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the words of our Master in this
translation. Baruch HaShem YHWH (Praise be to the name of YHWH). We have added
words in italics for easier reading and to clarify things where it is not clear what the terms
are.

Cultural Background
Having a Middle-Eastern cultural background really helps, and understanding both
Pakistani and Indian cultures and languages adds on the necessary skills to deliver the
message to the people, where they can get a better understanding. While adding
information, that is relevant to their cultures, helps the reader understand what is going on
in the Hebrew underneath. Simon Altaf was brought up a Muslim, and it was in his 35th
year, that YHWH called him to his rightful position in the priesthood of Yah’sar’el (Israel) in
Yahushua the Messiah, and so, being in that culture made it a lot easier for Simon to
explain many concepts foreign to others. This will enable others to understand quickly,
because the Muslim culture carries many precepts of the Hebrew culture. Rabbi Alwin P.
Joseph has been chosen for this task, a student of Rabbi Simon, who will be helping in
translating the text into the local Hindi dialect for the readers of India. I want to thank Joan
Miller for the audio and proofing of the Torah translation, Shoshana for the proofing of the
translations and to my student Deepak John Masih to catch my last minute proofing
mistakes.

Seven Rules of Hillel
We have used these where we felt the need to explain scripture.

1. Kal V’chomer – Using light and heavy

2. G'zerah Shavah - Equivalent expressions
3. Binyan ab mikathub echad – Using a single text to build a family.
4. Binyab ab mishene kethubim – Using two or more text to Build up a family
5. Kelal uferat - The general and the particular
6. Kayotze bo mimekom akhar – Using similar passages to build an analogy.
7. Davar hilmad me'anino – Using the context of a passage to get the explanation.

The Messiah Yahushua, in many instances of his speech, used these rules which were
already established in the first century, to make a point, using the rules of such as
Kal’V’chomer. Rabbi Sha’ul (Paulos) was trained in these rules by Gamli’el the grandson of
Hillel, who devised these rules, best known for the school of Hillel.

We can gain much understanding using these rules, by reading the words of Yahushua,
and then understand what He meant. Yahushua quotes from these rules often, such as in
Mattithyahu 7:11.

Mattityahu (Matthew) 7:11 If you then, being wicked, know how to give good gifts
to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the shamayim
(heavens) give what is good to those who ask Him?

Rabbinic customs, S’yag, minhagim, Gezorot, Techonot and

Ma’aseh Ha Torah
Contrary to popular opinion, Yahushua also used many rabbinic oral law customs, which
were established a long time ago and quoted in scriptures. The blessing in Hebrew for
meals is commanded to be said at the end of the meals; but we find that Yahushua said
the short brachot (blessings) in Matthew 26:26 at the beginning. Yet we find no
commandment in scripture for this. We know that this was a custom devised by the rabbis
and well established in the time of Yahushua. There was an argument shown in the
Renewed Covenant with the Pharisees asking Yahushua:

Mattityahu (Matthew) 15:2 Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the
elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.

Note, Yahushua never rebuked the Pharisees on the issue of washing hands; but used
something different to illustrate the hypocrisy amongst some of the Pharisees and scribes
from the school of Shammai. We need to stop running with majority opinions, saying we
reject everything pharisaical; because if you do that, then you would also have to reject
Yahushua, since He, by definition, was a great Rabbi and a Pharisee. We have noted that
there were many good Pharisees from Hillel, who believed in the message of Yahushua in
the first century milieu.

What this means is that we have to sift through things, keep what is good, and discard
what is not right according to Torah and established Jewish Halacha but leaving room for
debate between Rabbis. Let me be honest with you as an ex-Muslim, the church is miles
away from Torah truth and practices many traditions on the face of it but rejects them out of
ignorance. For instance the Christians practice marriage and death laws where did they
12
receive these from? Jewish traditions! The Christians sometimes wear tzitzits and tallits so
where did they learn how to wear these? These also come from different Jewish traditions.
Christians read the KJV bible that has many traditional readings in it but they are ignorant
to even know what these are such as how some words are pronounced in the Hebrew are
actually pronounced differently because of Jewish traditions and they happily read them in
the English without knowing what is the Hebrew underneath is not necessarily exactly as
they have just read the words.

PRDS - Correct way to interpret Scripture

It is important that we read the Bible correctly to get its deeper message. The way to read
the Bible is as follows, with the acronym PRDS, or Pardes.

[P]ashat simple
[R]emez hint
[D]rash search, allegory
[S]od hidden

The first principle is Pashat, which means, read it literally, or, the literal principle. The
second is Remez, meaning implied, or, hints, which means that the text has a deeper
meaning that may not be immediately apparent.

Let me explain; some use Rabbi Paulos’ (Sha’ul’s) usage of Galatians 3:10 to say, Torah is
bad; but fail to see Rabbi Paulos’ (Sha’ul’s) use of the word law, to mean, between man’s
laws and customs, and Yahuweh’s Laws (Torah) and customs. In fact, Rabbi Paulos
(Sha’ul) is saying, by adopting manmade laws you can never find truth, and you remain
under the curse of eternal judgment. But the Torah of YHWH leads to the solution for sin,
i.e. the goal of Torah, the Messiah, who would die and be raised, as has already
happened, to restore Yah’sar’el (Israel) back two thousand years ago.

Galutyah (Galatians) 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under
the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things
which are written in the book of the Torah to do them.

Rabbi Paulos (Sha’ul) actually quotes here verbatim from Deuteronomy 27:26 referring to
Minhagim (customs) and Ma’aseh Ha Torah (works of the oral torah). These were works of
the Oral Torah devised over many years by several Rabbis. These oral laws could not save
people from the eternal condemnation, as these were simply man-made customs and oral
traditions (Ma’aseh Ha Torah and Minhagim).

Debarim (Deuteronomy) 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not ALL THE

WORDS OF THIS TORAH TO DO THEM. And all the people shall say, Amein.

Now we can understand who would be cursed! Those are cursed who do NOT obey
the Torah, or those bent on obeying man-made laws to attain eternal salvation!

The third rule is Drash, which means it is allegorical, typological, or, the homiletical
meaning of Scripture, almost like searching the Scripture for application of the text, like
Rabbi Paulos (Sha’ul) did in Galutyah (Galatians) 3:10 where he used Drash to show the
difference between a curse because of man-made traditions, and the REAL curse
applied by Elohim for not obeying the written words of YHWH. Therefore, in order to draw a
13
Drash we have to use Scripture with Scripture, not to lose the Pashat in its simplest terms.
Many times people forget the Pashat and run to the Drash and try to allegorize everything,
which would also be incorrect.

Sod is the reference to the hidden meaning of Scripture e.g.; the words, Mystery, Babylon,
have a hidden meaning to something in our time. Bearing this in mind, we start to read the
Scriptures, with a fuller understanding, not dissecting Scripture incorrectly, but rightly
dividing the word of Truth.

This is why Rabbi Paulos (Sha’ul) said to Timotheus.

Timotheous Bet (Second Timothy) 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved

to Elohim, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of Truth.

Having this knowledge we can start to read Scripture with a Hebraic understanding, so as
not to miss any important points and facts. Scriptures are written in a way that we could do
interactive learning, by asking questions to YHWH, and then receive the understanding
through the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Set-apart Spirit), who give us understanding of difficult
passages.

DSS
Dead Sea Scrolls-Tanach, found in the Judean wilderness near En-Gedi in several caves
at Qumran. Written between 150 BCE-68 CE by the Essenes, a sect who preserved these
scriptures in clay jars. We have used the DSS reading where appropriate, so we go back to
an earlier text, which is more correct, and show the alternative reading.

LXX
The Septuagint, meaning seventy, is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Tanach, done
around 275-246 BCE. We have used the readings of this translation where appropriate.
Note the LXX was translated by seventy-two of the finest Rabbis six from each tribe into
the Greek according to Aristeas. It is suggested by some such as a British Jewish scholar
of the 19th century Moses Gaster (M. Gaster, The Samaritans (London, 1925)) that the
Septuagint was not translated in Alexandria but in Israel and then given over to the people
of Egypt where it would be well received because it was translated by learned Rabbis in
Israel.

However, the language and style of writing confirms it was of Alexandrian origin though
some of the material that the writing was written on could have been easily imported from
Israel confirming a view that Jewish people needed a translation in the Greek language for
Greek speaking Jews that grew up in Alexandria thus there was a need to have this work
done for the Synagogues in the Diaspora, which in our opinion places this firmly in the 3rd
century BCE as per Aristeas. Some orthodox Jewish scholars today contend that the only
translation that was done at that time by the Rabbis was the Torah, the Jewish Law but the
rest of the books of the Tanach were translated later between the second and first century
BCE. This view is true. There were various stages of the whole translation, first the Torah,
then the prophets followed by the other writings.

Please be warned that the Septuagint has various versions since the time of its first
translation going up to the fourth century CE. There is a debate raging on still whether the
14
Masoretic text is more reliable or the Septuagint because sometimes we find divergent
readings with minor differences in the one or the other. For instance in Hebrews 1:6 we
have a quote as follows “And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world, he said,
And let all the heavenly messengers of Elohim worship him.” The words ‘let all the
heavenly messengers of Elohim worship him’ are missing from the reading of Debarim
32:43 in the Masoretic text but are present in the Septuagint reading, which would indicate
that for whatever masorot (traditions) caused some to remove these verses whether
Christian missionary activity or otherwise. In our opinion it is wrong to evangelize the
Jewish people as YHWH has kept them as an individual unit for reasons too numerous to
explain here. They are already saved because they obey Torah and the Messiah is the
living Torah. Please see the article and videos on www.abrahamic-faith.com to understand
this truth. This also explains why the Christian church will ultimately fail to convert many
from Judah which is unscriptural and corrupts tribes. They are the lawgivers established by
YHWH (Gen 49:10, Ps 78:67-68). You may not agree with us but ultimately you will learn
that you will be proven wrong over time when you realize Ephraim must join back with
Judah and not vice versa. Judah is not to join any church and become Christian. This is
unfortunately only a Christian view and not one of the Holy One of Israel.

Kaballah, Mishnah and the Talmud

Although these are not inspired texts, they contain much wisdom from different rabbis, and
we respect these people, and look to this work to uncover a lot of the rabbinic style we find
in the Renewed Covenant writings used by Master Yahushua. These help us unlock first
century thought, and style of debate, and also help us with the Torah. Many things in the
Torah are not expounded upon; but are by the rabbis, so we do not find an issue where
e.g. the feasts are illustrated. We have found our Master Yahushua used, and agreed, with
many oral Torah principles; but Christians lack this understanding because they have been
taught, wrongly, that all oral Torah is bad. Let me be honest and tell you, it is not bad, not
one bit of it. Some of it is very good, and while we try to steer you in the right direction, we
would never bind people with principles they are not comfortable with; but come the
millennium, many of these good principles of Oral Torah will be in force. Else how are we
are going to practice many aspects of the sacrifices and feasts? Think about that.

The Kaballah has often been twisted by Gentiles who have the least understanding of it.
The study of Kaballah is totally related to the mystical understanding of Torah, and the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel). It helps in many areas and the Jewish sages over the years
have done much work in this area. Usually the Gentiles corrupt what is good, so they take
certain aspects of Kaballah and turn it to the study of the occult, which is forbidden in
Torah. While the Hollywood stars may go after these types of things, the Kaballah of the
Torah is 100%, the study of Torah, and Elohim of the Scriptures, and much can be gained
by studying it. The doctrine of the trinity is derived out of the Kaballah by the Christian
fathers.

From the study of the Zohar some rabbis came to the following conclusion:
Rabbi Simeon ben Yochai instructed his son as follows, Come and see the mystery of the
word YHWH: there are three steps, each existing by itself; nevertheless they are One, and
so united that one cannot be separated from the other.

From this we can see that even the famous rabbi understood the plurality of Yahuweh.

15
We also find the text of Zohar of the Kaballah (called Torot ha Sod - the mystical study of
Torah) quite fascinating, as it illustrates concepts held dear by the early Nazarene
believers. So we encourage those who want to get a deeper understanding of scripture, to
analyze these for personal knowledge. It is believed by some teachers that the Zohar text
may have been written by the early Nazarene believers of Yahushua, as there are images
of the Messiah in it, as one finds in the Renewed Covenant writings.

We have used the Sefirotic tree (which the ancient Rabbis used to show the different
aspects of Elohim which otherwise are quite difficult to understand) the ten attributes, and
where appropriate highlighted those which makes it very helpful to understand Scripture.
We fully encourage the study of Kaballah, with Torah as the goal, and steer clear of the
gentile practices. We also advise those studying Kaballah, to be Torah obedient to
YHWH’s ways and not stray right or left to gentile diversions, also this study should not be
taken lightly; but very seriously, to understand Elohim and His Scriptures.

Sefer Enoch, Sefer Yahshar and epistle of Bar-Nabba

We will be illustrating where we find these relevant in passages of Scriptures, to illuminate
your understanding. We believe these to be safe and sound works, and know they were
extensively used by the early Disciples of Yahushua. If they used it safely then so can we.

Closing thoughts
Our goals and objectives are to reach the nations, the lost sheep of the House of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and the House of Yahudah, with the everlasting Basar (meat of the gospel). The
call by Mashiach Yahushua, who came to redeem us from sin and death by being hung on
the Tree, shedding His precious blood, to reconcile Yah’sar’el (Israel) back to the Father
hwhy. Being a humble servant of hwhy, I dare not make the claim that I have it all together
100%, with the difficulty of the language, the changes of the structure over six thousand
years, and the three stage change of the Hebrew language script, I feel I have made the
best effort possible. As in any project I am certain there will be room for much improvement
as more information becomes available. I feel we have done our level best to provide as
close to the actual text and thought as possible. May our Father in heaven forgive us and
other co-labourers in this project for any mistakes made in ignorance, or deliberation of the
text, as we have tried to avoid errors, being in fear and awe of hwhy.

Turning away from sin

Today, repentance is available to all, and you can become the commonwealth of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) right now by bowing your head to the Master hwhy, asking for forgiveness of your
sins, and vow to obey His Torah. So come, and feed from the Living Springs, gain eternal
life, guaranteed in the Messiah Yahushua of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and get yourself immersed
in the name of
Yahushua. Repent and obey Torah, for that is the goal of our life, and to
teach likewise, building disciples for our Master and Messiah.

 Blessings of the Torah
The person who is called up to read the Torah, touches the Torah scroll with his tzitzits or
corner of his tallit, or the belt or mantle of the Torah and kisses it. He would then begin to
read the blessings bowing down at the word ‘bless’ Baruku and straightening up at
YHWH’s name.

1 The word, Beresheeth underlined has the
Hebrew Bet raised in the ancient pictographic
Hebrew script and also in the Paleo and
Modern Hebrew. The mystical meaning of this
is, that YHWH is establishing His house, since
the word, Bet, means a house in Hebrew. We
cannot go to the house of the King and impose
our laws and our rules. His Torah instructions
must be obeyed in His household forever, or
He can simply throw us out of His house, as
that prerogative is with Him not us.
2 The Hebrew word Bara can only be used for
creation by YHWH. Here all the world including
the sun, moon and stars were created in the
first day, but the sun and moon were hidden to
be called out later.
3 The Hebrew word Elohim is spelled with five
characters; and here refers to the first five
books of Torah when He powerfully revealed
Himself to the Patriarchs and nation of Israel.
The number five is the number of grace, so
YHWH revealed His grace in the Torah. Each

1 In the beginning Elohim created
the shamayim (heavens) and the land.
2 The land was desolate, and
chaotic; and darkness was on the face
of the deep. And the Ruach of Elohim
(Set-Apart Spirit) was fluttering over
the face of the mayim (waters).
3 Then Elohim said, Light be; and
light was.
4 And Elohim saw the light that it
was good; and Elohim separated5 the
light from the darkness.
5 Elohim called the light Day,6 and
the darkness He called Night. So the
evening and the morning were Yom
Akhad (Day one).
6 Then Elohim said, Expanse be in
the middle of the mayim (waters), and
mayim (waters).
7 Thus Elohim brought about the
expanse, and divided the mayim
(waters) which were under the
character of His title reveals an aspect of the
Ein Sof, the great master of the universe.
4 This is the signature of the King Messiah, as
Alef-Tav ‫את‬. This is not translated always in
Hebrew, as it declared the first prophecy of the
Messiah, coming on the scene, who became
personified as the Son of Abbah YHWH. He is
mentioned in Mishle (proverbs) 30:4, Dan 3:25,
Matthew 4:3, and Matthew 8:29. The Alef
though is for the Father who is the source of
ALL things, but the Son proceeds from the
Father, hence to reach the kingdom you have
to go through Yahushua, the middle-pillar.
5 Drash reference to separating His righteous
ones from those unrighteous by the hand of
Elohim. Also the fulfilment of which can be
seen in Mattityahu (Matt) 25:32.

So, this starts at sunset and ends at sunset. A

expanse from the mayim (waters)
which were above the expanse: and it
was done.
8 And Elohim called the expanse
shamayim (heavens). So the evening
and the morning were Yom Shanee
(Day two).
9 Then Elohim said, Let the mayim
(waters) under the shamayim
(heavens) be collected together into
one place, and let the dry land appear;
and it was so.
10 And Elohim called the dry land
Earth; and the collecting together of
the mayim (waters) He called Seas:
and Elohim saw that it was good.
11 Then Elohim said, Let the earth
bring forth grass, the herb that yields
zera (seed), and the fruit etz (tree) that
yields fruit according to its kind, whose
zera (seed) is in itself, upon the earth:
and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth
grass, the herb that yields zera (seed)
according to its kind, and the etz (tree)
that yields fruit, whose zera (seed) is
in itself, according to its kind: and
Elohim saw that it was good.
13 So the evening and the morning
were Yom Shilishi1 (Day three).
14 Then Elohim said, Let there be
lights in the expanse of the shamayim
(heavens) to divide the day from the
night; and let them be for signs, and
Moe’dim (feasts: Appointed times),2
and for days and years:
1 Note YHWH does not give significance to the
first six days, while He places the seventh day
above all by giving it a name. Whereas before
they were just ordinal values such as day one,
day two and day three; meaning not all days
are made equal.
2 YHWH’s calendar existed before man was
created and is eternal because the Angels were
observing and bound by Torah long before
Adam was created. YHWH judged the first sin
in the heavens, where Satan was found with
sin using the Torah. The Angels keep the

15 And let them be for lights in the
expanse of the shamayim (heavens) to
give light upon the earth: and it was
so.
16 Then Elohim appointed3 and
brought forth two great lights; the
greater light to rule the day, and the
lesser light to rule the night: He did the
same with the stars also.
17 Elohim set them in the expanse
of the shamayim (heavens) to give
light on the earth,
18 And to rule over the day4 and
over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness: and Elohim saw
that it was good.
19 So the evening and the morning
were Yom Ravee (Day four).
20 Then Elohim said, Let the mayim
(waters) abound with an abundance of
living creatures, and let birds fly above
the earth across the face of the
expanse of the shamayim (heavens).
21 So Elohim created great sea
creatures, and every living thing that
moves, with which the mayim (waters)
abounded, according to their kind, and
every winged bird according to it’s
kind:5 and Elohim saw that it was
good.
feasts in the heavenly Temple. The weekly
Sabbath is not determined by the lunar
calendar.
3 The Hebrew word here is not for the creative
sense; as the sun and moon were created in
Beresheeth 1:1, and were yet hidden from the
eye. Therefore they were brought forth. This
is a remez of the King Messiah being brought
forth, and Satan, being revealed in the
scriptures as the lesser light. Note many
religions of the world have taken the crescent
symbol of the moon.
4 Hint of Yahushua ruling over His people.
5 Everything according to its kind, a dog will be
a dog and a cat will be a cat, you do not get a
half dog and a half cat as an animal. Evolution
is foolish thinking of men, trying to do away
with the Creator, the Designer YHWH.

22 And Elohim blessed them,
saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill
the mayim (waters) in the seas, and let
birds multiply on the earth.
23 So the evening and the morning
were Yom Khamishee (Day five).
24 Then Elohim said, Let the earth
bring forth the living creatures
according to their kind, cattle, and
crawling things and beasts of the
earth, each according to their kind:
and it was so.
25 And Elohim brought forth the
beasts of the earth according to their
kind, cattle according to their kind, and
everything that crawls on the earth
according to their kind: and Elohim
saw that it was good.
26 Then Elohim said, Let Us 1 make
humans in Our image, according to
Our likeness:2 Let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, over the birds
of the air, and over the cattle, over all
the earth, and over every crawling
thing that crawls on the earth.
27 So Elohim created man in His
own image, in the image of Elohim He
created him; male and female He
created them.
28 Then Elohim blessed them, and
Elohim said to them, Be fruitful, and

the Son, and the Ruach Ha Kodesh; the
feminine side of YHWH, the mother aspect of
the Creator. This has nothing to do with Angels
taking part in the creation, or a Christian
Trinity, also in fact, YHWH has Ten attributes,
and consists of Ten. Please see footnote
Exodus 26:26.
2 Ancient Rabbis believe that Adam Kadmon,
the name given to the Messiah; was the image
that was used to fashion the first man in
creation. Remembering the body, which was
prepared from times past that is mentioned in
Hebrews 10:5, so Adam was fashioned in the
likeness of this body which was the covering of
the King Messiah in heaven.

multiply,3 fill the earth, and subdue it:
have dominion over the fish 4 of the
sea, over the birds of the air, and over
every living thing that moves on the
earth.
29 And Elohim said, See, I have
given you every herb that yields zera
(seed), which is on the face of all the
earth, and every etz (tree), whose fruit
yields zera (seed); to you it shall be for
food.
30 Also, to every beast of the earth,
to every bird of the air, and to
everything that crawls on the earth, in
which there is life, I have given every
green herb for food: and it was so.
31 Then Elohim saw everything that
He had made, and, indeed, it was very
good. So the evening and the morning
were Yom Shishee (Day six).

1 Thus the shamayim (heavens) and
the earth were finished, and all the
host of them.

3 The first commandment for all of us is to
bear children for Israel. Deliberately
suppressing children is a sin. There is a hint
here of Biblical polygamy. Many children
cannot come from one wife. Some cultures
have adopted plural marriages even today
because it is in the design. The average
children from one wife Biblically is counted as
five, and any over that starts to wear out the
woman. Whichever we argue, it is a fact in our
society, that when married women are made to
bear say, ten children, they end up with many
illnesses due to over exertion of the body.
4 You are not going to have dominion over the
earth with one child, this means extended
families. The Muslims have done well to do just
that, look at their numbers. While ancient
Israel did heed this command but present day
believers shy away from this. This pattern is
being restored in the Patriarchal order as
practiced by our forefathers.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
appointed as Yom Sabbath (day of 1 Shabbat: (Sabbath Day of rest)
rest) ceasing from all labour.2
3 And Elohim blessed the seventh
day, and set it apart 3 calling it Yom
1 The very first mention of the word Sabbath
leads Christians to reason; this is for the Jewish
people only, therefore they decide that we do
not have to keep the Sabbath. No where does
YHWH issue such a command telling us that
only the tribe of Yahudah is to keep the
Sabbath. The premise itself is built on a straw
man argument, because when the term,
Jewish, is used, this is only addressing one
tribe of Israel. What most do not know is that
eleven other tribes of Israel are non-Jewish.
The common misunderstanding is that the
Roman Catholics changed the Sabbath from
Saturday to Sunday; however this is not true,
here is a text showing us just that. The
Catholic Cardinal Gibbons, in Faith of Our
Fathers, pg. 111, said, ‘You may read the Bible
from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not
find a single line authorizing the sanctification
of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious
observance of Saturday, a day which we (The
Roman Catholic Church) never sanctify.
The first person known through historical
evidence to reject the Sabbath and worship
away from it was Marcion of Sinope, after
which the second recorded case of usurping
the authority of the Jerusalem Bishops was
Ignatius, popularly known as St. Ignatius, who
annulled the Sabbath to Sunday worship. For a
detailed understanding please read the
Sabbath article on http://www.abrahamic-
faith.com/Simon/HTML/Sabbath.html.
The idea here is not that YHWH needed rest,
but that He ceased from all creative work. This
shows a picture of the future redemptive work.
In this first Sabbath we ultimately see a remez
hint of the Day of Tabernacles when the
Messiah returns. We see this millennial reign,
of the thousand years to come in Zecharyah
14:17.

meaning the Millennial reign.

petty talk of everyday is, Christmas is nothing
but paganism and needs to be removed. While
the Sabbath needs to be exalted as it is the
remez of the everlasting, ‘rest’ and ‘salvation’,
in Messiah Yahushua. YHWH hears people’s
prayers on this day. This is not Sunday, but
starts Friday night sunset to Saturday night
sunset.
4 The Heh, in the word create, which is
underlined, is lowered in the original Hebrew,
signifying that a fall had occurred after
creation, because Satan rebelled, and was the
first to sin.
5 Humans had not seen rain until the time of
the flood of Noah.
6 There was no rain until Noah’s flood.
7 Intrinsically this is the meaning of YHWH,
‘breath of life’, since He is the life giver, it does
not mean ‘To be’, that is a very late and
modern meaning.

8 And hwhy Elohim planted a
garden eastward in Ayden (Eden),1
and there he put the man whom he
had formed.
9 And out of the ground made hwhy
Elohim to grow every etz (tree) that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for
food; the etz (tree) of life2 also in the
midst of the garden, and the etz (tree)
of knowledge of good and evil.3
10 And a river goes out of Ayden
(Eden) to water the garden; and from
there it separated, and became four
heads.4
11 The name of the first is Pishon:5
that is it which is roundabout the whole

3 Satan’s symbol of good and evil, as he was
mixed up, and in his pride, fell. We do not
hear of this tree at all again in Scripture,
because it was internalised in man, and he
became good and evil, carrying the evil
inclination in his personality.
4 The word Arba, shows us that these are
going to be part of the territory of the End-
Times Islamic beast. The word Arab is also a
Chaldean word to mean mix, and represents, a
desert roaming creature, applying to the Arab
people today, who will form a major
destructive force in the ‘End of Days’. All four
rivers are in Islamic lands today, clearly
showing us where the battle lines are drawn.

Western Arabia (Genesis 10:7, 25:18). The first
river Pishon: is believed to be a dried up river,

this as, the Wadi Riniah and the Wadi Batin.

12 This area was not an orchard; but an area
that encompassed what is today’s, central
eastern Jerusalem, where the Temple Mount is
situated. The garden also encompassed the
area of Gethsemane and all the lower portions
of the Mount of Olives. The word ‘garden’ is a
bit misleading, because the Hebrew word ‘gan’
means a fenced in area. It was an actual area
of land given over to Adam to look after
carefully and keep safe, as a trial and a test.

thereof you shall surely die.

name of them.

therefore, we can not say with certainty, that it
was a single rib. This is assumed by many; but
is simply presumptuous.

5 The Hebrew word here is plural, bones, and
not, a single bone. Those who argue, for a
single rib, can not address the Hebrew
language showing us, plural, bones.

wife, so Adam could have been calling her his
wife and not just a woman.

really said, You shall not eat of every
etzim (trees) of the garden?2
2 And the woman said unto the
serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the
etzim (trees) of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the etz (tree)
which is in the middle3 of the garden,
Elohim has said, You shall not eat of it,
neither shall you touch it,4 lest you die.
4 And the serpent said unto the
woman, You shall not surely5 die:6
5 For Elohim does know that in the
day you eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and you shall be as
Elohim, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the
etz (tree) was good for food, and that it
was pleasant7 to the eyes, and an etz

Eve adds something that Elohim did not
command. She broke the authority structure of
the man without asking him first, so, Elohim
brought her into line swiftly so to speak.
5 Satan pushed her against the tree and said;
see you shall not surely die. He weakened the
command that YHWH had given. This is how
many Christians are receiving a watered down
gospel (Torah) in their churches.

Satan knew he was talking about the second
death, while Eve certainly could not have this
knowledge. So she clearly did not understand
Satan fully, who used her ignorance to deceive
her. This is how many people are deceived
today; they are led to believe that the person
of Satan does not exist.
7 The weakness caused by Satan’s doubt had
set in now. The woman was now perceiving
the tree with another set of eyes, it looked
good while before it was not so good.

(tree) to be desired to make one wise,8
she took of the fruit thereof, and did
eat, and gave also to her husband who
was with her;9 and he did eat.
8 This is worldly wisdom like getting a
university degree, or college diploma. This
wisdom will certainly help you in this world, but
has no eternal value whatsoever. Satan made
the woman crave worldly wisdom, opposed to
wisdom of the heavens, and we find all of
Chava’s seed is running and craving for this
type of wisdom.
9 Adam was not standing there as popularly
taught. He was somewhere else when this
conversation was taking place, and the woman
took the fruit, ate it first, and then gave it to
him. The Hebrew says ‘Gam l’ishah emah’
meaning he was with her in unity, not that he
was standing beside her. She had been
deceived by Satan because the command of
YHWH became doubtful instead of certain.
Adam listened to her voice, meaning
momentarily he forgot the voice (Torah) of
YHWH; and because he was taught to love his
wife, he fell by eating without asking questions
first. Adam did not know the fruit was from this
tree, this is evident in the text where Adam
says to YHWH, the woman gave me the fruit
and I ate. He is denying knowledge that he
knew which tree the fruit was from. It could be
an excuse or he was really being truthful, and
did not know.
We have an apocryphal text: The Book of
Adam, which tells us this and backs up the
reasons above. Underlying the Hebrew text in
The Book of Adam 3:2, Eve told Adam, "Oh, if I
were dead then Elohim would have accepted
you in paradise!" Adam replied to Eve and said
to her, "Because of us, a great anger lies
against (upon?) all creatures. (However) I do
not know this: whether it is because of me or
lord, if you think it wise, kill me so that I will be
exterminated from the sight of Elohim and his
angels, so that Elohim's anger against you may
cease, which happened because of me: and he
will bring you back into paradise.
3.3 Adam replied and told her, "No, no! Do not
mention this matter, lest Elohim send another
judgment upon us because of (this) killing.
How could I raise my hand and cause my own
flesh to suffer?" Then Eve told him, "Arise, let
us both seek vegetables."
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
7 And the eyes of them both were
opened,1 and they knew that they
were naked; and they sewed fig leaves
together, and made themselves
aprons.2
8 And they heard the thunder3 of
hwhy Elohim as he stepped through
the garden in the cool of the day: and
Ahdahm (Adam) and his wife hid
themselves from the face4 of hwhy
Elohim amongst the etzim (trees) of
the garden.
9 And hwhy Elohim called unto
Ahdahm (Adam), and said unto him,
Where are you?
1 An idiomatic expression meaning, to know
evil; before their fall into sin this was not
possible for them. Adam and Eve did not feel
hungry and thirsty inside the garden, as we do
now outside the garden. The tree of knowledge
and evil has allowed our nature to be tainted
until we get restored and nothing we do can
take that away. Even after accepting the
Messiah’s death and substitution sacrifice for
our sins and YHWH’s Torah, we are hopelessly
bound in the flesh until we are renewed in the
resurrection. Our spirit constantly wars with
our flesh.
2 Notice the three things they did to hide their
nakedness.
a) They did good deeds to ‘cover’ themselves.
b) The covering was made of herbage.
c) The covering was incomplete, they were
only aprons. This symbolizes or shadows, man
made religion, i.e., Islam, Humanism,
Buddhism, etc. Elohim will not accept this!
That is why we find, a little later, YHWH
showing His displeasure at the man made
covering.
3 Before, when YHWH, who is Yahushua,
would commune with these two, they may
have heard gentle steps of the Master from the
heavens. Now they heard thunder and were
afraid. The sin had caused this behaviour.
4 The walking of YHWH, in the garden, in the
form of a human, was one of the many faces
of YHWH, also known as the presence of
YHWH.
25
10 And he said, I heard your sound
in the garden, and I was afraid,
because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told you that
you were naked? Have you eaten of
the etz (tree), which I commanded you
that you should not eat of it?
12 And the man said, The wife
whom you gave to be with me, she
gave me of the etz (tree), and I did eat.
13 And hwhy Elohim said unto the
woman, What is this that you have
done? And the woman said, The
serpent tricked me, and I did eat.
14 And hwhy Elohim said unto the
serpent, Because you have done this,
you are henceforth cursed above all
cattle, and above every beast of the
field; upon your belly shall you go, and
dust shall you eat all the days of your
life:
15 And I will put enmity between you
and the woman, and between your
zera (seed)5 and her zera (seed);6 it
shall bruise your head, and you shall
bruise his heel.7
5 Satan’s seed, are all those who are unsaved.
6 The Protoevangelium-the First Prophetic
reference to the Messiah, who will crush Satan.
‘YOUR SEED’ Satan’s followers ‘Her seed’ –
speaks of the Virgin Birth of The MESSIAH of
Israel, and the collective group; the ancestors
of Yahushua, or, His physical brethren who are
the Hebrews, from both Houses, and the
spiritual brothers, e.g. gentile believers and
sojourners grafted into Israel believing in,
Yahushua as Messiah. From the book Islam,
Peace or Beast, by Rabbi Simon Altaf p32.
7 Rabbi Paulos also tells us the same thing in
the book of Romans chapter 16:20 that the
Elohim of peace will ‘crush’ Satan. The Greek
word used here is soon-tree-bo, which means
literally; to crush. The Hebrew word shuph, not
only means; to bruise, but also, to crush.
Yahushua will crush Satan, (the Hebrew word
shuph is used) and he [Satan] will injure/crush
Yahushua i.e. the sacrifice on the Tree. IBID
P33.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
16 Unto the woman he said, I will
greatly multiply your sorrow and your
conception; your conception shall be
painful to beget children; and your
desire shall be for your husband,1 and
he shall have authority2 over you.
17 And unto Ahdahm (Adam) he
said, Because you have listened to the
voice of your wife,3 and have eaten of
the etz (tree), of which I commanded
you, saying, you shall not eat of it:
cursed is the ground for your sake; in
sorrow shall you eat of it all the days of
your life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it
bring forth to you; and you shall eat
the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of your face shall
you eat lechem (bread), till you return
into the ground; for out of it were you
taken: for dust you are, and into dust
you shall return.
1 A married woman will always desire her
husband, even if she separates, her thoughts
will be for him. This is the natural design, and
it also shows marriage unto death, not
temporal, as people have made it in society.
2 Now YHWH sets the authority structure
straight, once and for all times. A woman may
never again break authority and if she does she
will suffer loss. If a husband abuses his wife
then YHWH had also built-in safety for the
woman that the husband would love his wife.
3 The authority structure was broken when the
first man listened to his wife and not YHWH;
henceforth, Elohim corrected the authority
structure. From that time forward we find
women have been in disobedience, and
rebellion to men, wanting their own way. The
issue of authority in homes is still at stake,
both arguing over who is the head, yet YHWH
made Adam, Eve’s husband, the head. Any
home which has the woman as the head will
never be a happy home, or blessed. The
children will be disobedient; and the wife and
husband will not get along in happiness, as the
authority structure would be broken. Until it is
fixed in that home, this situation will remain.
26
20 And Ahdahm (Adam) called his
wife's name Chava (Eve);4 because
she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Ahdahm (Adam) also and to
his wife did hwhy Elohim made coats
of skins, 5 and clothed them.
22 And hwhy Elohim said, Behold,
the man is become as One of Us, to
know good and evil: and now, lest he
put forth his hand, and take also of the
etz (tree) of life, and eat, and live
forever:
23 Therefore hwhy Elohim expelled
him from the garden of Ayden (Eden),
to till the ground from where he was
taken.
24 So he drove6 out the man; and he
placed at the east of the garden of
Ayden (Eden) Cherubims, and a
flaming sword which turned every way,
4 Please note that Eve, the name, is a name of
a Babylonian pagan deity. Adam’s wife was
called Chava pronounced –KHAVAH- hence, to
illustrate; we are forced to use the name Eve,
although it is a false deity name. So, we are
careful not to profane Master YHWH, by
showing what was there.
5 This was the first sacrifice in the garden that
YHWH had to make to shed blood. Notice three
things:
a) YHWH Elohim did the works.
b) The covering was made of skin- (an animal
had to die)
c) The covering was complete - coats instead
of aprons. It is your choice, you can come to
Elohim with your own righteousness and
covering (rags and aprons, like menstrual
clothes), which are inadequate, and unclean, or
you can accept His provision– Yahushua
Messiah on the tree. Be completely covered,
once for all.
6 The word for ‘driven’ in Hebrew is ‘Garash’, it
means to ‘divorce’. So YHWH allegorically
divorced the first man Adam for rejecting His
commandments. This is seen later, when Israel
was also divorced for committing adultery with
foreign elohim. When you take on a foreign
elohim, the principle, is marriage and it
becomes gross idolatry. Rejecting YHWH’s set-
apart Torah has a price.

life.
Chapter 4
1 And Ahdahm (Adam) knew Chava
(Eve) his wife; and she conceived, and
bare Qayin (Cain), and said, I have
gotten a man-hwhy. 2
2 And she again gave birth to his
brother Hebel (Abel). And Hebel (Abel)
was a keeper of sheep, but Qayin
(Cain) was a tiller of the ground.
3 And in process of time it came to
pass, that Qayin (Cain) brought of the
fruit of the ground an offering unto
hwhy.
4 And Hebel (Abel), he also brought
of the bechorot (firstborn) of his flock
and of the fat thereof. And hwhy had
respect for Abel and for his offering:3
5 But for Qayin (Cain) and to his
offering he had no respect. And Qayin
(Cain) was very angry, and his
countenance fell.
6 And hwhy said to Qayin (Cain),
Why are you angry? And why is your
countenance fallen?
7 If you do well, shall it not be
accepted? And if you do not do well,
sin lies at your door. And to you shall
be its desire, and you shall rule over
it.4
1 The mention of the ‘way’ here is to show that
YHWH’s Torah was broken and needed to be
restored. This is what Yahushua presented to
Israel upon His first coming.
2 Eve thought she bore Qayin, as the Messiah,
who would crush Satan’s head. Hence the
Hebrew literally reads; I have gotten a man-

8 And Qayin (Cain) talked with Hebel
(Abel) his brother: and it came to pass,
when they were in the field, that Qayin
(Cain) rose up against Hebel (Abel) 5
his brother, and killed 6 him.
9 And hwhy said to Qayin (Cain),
Where is Hebel (Abel) your brother?
And he said, I do not know: Am I my
brother's keeper?
10 And he said, What have you
done? The voice of your brother's
blood cries to me 7 from the ground.
11 And now you are cursed from the
earth, which has opened her mouth to
receive your brother's blood from your8
hand;

not henceforth 9 yield to you her full
strength; a fugitive 10 and a vagabond
you shall be in the earth.
has no sacrifice in the Torah; it is entirely up to
YHWH and His grace to give forgiveness for
such a sin.
5 Qayin overpowered his brother with an
instrument of the field. This is the first act of
murder in scripture.
6 Septuagint
7Blood is the life force of an individual, today
we know this as DNA, and here Righteous
Hebel’s blood calls out to YHWH for justice.
8 Elohim knew Qayin had murdered his brother
so he was testing him.
9 Wherever innocent blood is spilled, that earth
will not give its full yield, this is a spiritual
principle.
10 The Hebrew word Nua, can mean; fugitive,
wander, scatter, promoted, shaken, or, to and
restlessness and not belonging. The root
meaning is; to wander to a place. Qayin is the
prototype of the Anti-Messiah end-times
Islamic beast. Arabs, are like nomads,
wandering from place to place, showing us that
Saudi Arabia is to play a major role.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
13 And Qayin (Cain) said to hwhy,
My punishment is greater than I can
bear.
14 Behold, you have driven me out
this day from the face of the land; and
from your face shall I be hid; and I
shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in
the earth; and it shall come to pass,
that anyone that finds me shall kill me.
15 And hwhy said to him, Therefore
whosoever slays Qayin (Cain),
vengeance shall be taken on him
sevenfold.1 And hwhy set a mark
upon Qayin (Cain), lest any finding him
should kill him before his set time.
16 And Qayin (Cain) went out from
the presence of hwhy, and dwelt in the
land of Nod, on the east of Ayden
(Eden).
17 And Qayin (Cain) knew his wife;
and she conceived, and bare Chanoch
(Enoch) and he builded a city, and
called the name of the city, after the
name of his son, Chanoch (Enoch).
18 And unto Chanoch (Enoch) was
born Irad: and Irad begat Meḥuya’ĕl
1 Here YHWH identifies ‘the seed’. He does not
say that this will protect Qayin, although it
does show the sign of His unmerited favour.
The idea here is showing Qayin carrying the
seed of vengeance unto seven generations.
The mark was also his timeline for when he
would be killed. He died later at the hands of
Lamech. The ‘seed’ of Qayin; which is the seed
of the anti-Messiah, shows that they would
avenge 7 times. In essence, we see seven
generations revealed of Qayin and the battle at
the culmination of the Jubilee. It is a common
Muslim custom that a family carries the line of
revenge when there is enmity, to say, we will
blot out your seven generations. This explains
why the coming Muslims believe, if you kill one
of theirs, they must try to kill seven of yours.
This type of tit for tat killing is still evident in
Iraq, Afghanistan and other Muslim nations of
the world. It’s very common in Islamic nations
generally. YHWH showed us who the end time
beast will be.

and Meḥuya’ĕl begat Methusa’ĕl and
Methusa’ĕl begat Lamech.
19 And Lamech took unto him two
wives:2 the name of the one was
Adah, and the name of the other
Zillah.
20 And Adah bare Yaval: he was the
abbah of such as dwell in tents, and of
such as have cattle.
21 And his brother's name was
Yuval: he was the abbah of all such as
handle the harp and organ.
22 And Zillah, she also bare
TubalQayin (Cain), an instructor in
every instrument of brass and iron:
and the sister of TubalQayin (Cain)
was Naamah.
23 And Lamech said unto his wives,
Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice;3 you
wives of Lamech, hearken unto my
speech: for I have slain a man to my
wounding,4 and a young man5 to my
hurt.
24 If Qayin (Cain) shall be avenged
sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
sevenfold.
25 And Ahdahm (Adam) knew his
wife again; and she bare a son, and
called his name Sheth (Seth): For
2 Polygamy is Biblical doctrine and it was
hinted at in Genesis Chapter 1, monogamy and
polygamy are equally good options for
marriage in YHWH’s kingdom.
3 Lamech was not the only polygamist but he
is mentioned here for a certain reason. One of
his wives Zilah, as is typical of today, decided
that she was not going to have children and
was going to become a slim model so to say.
So, she drank a special brew that made her
infertile, while the other wife was also
disobedient and did not want to pay attention
to what her husband would have to say. They
both thought Lamech was a murderer, but the
truth is he was not. You can read the full
account in the Book of Yashar 2:18-28.
4 Qayin’s time was up, so, he was killed at the
hands of Lamech, as appointed by YHWH.
5 Lamech also accidentally killed Tubalqayin.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
Elohim, said she, has appointed me
another zera (seed) instead of Hebel
(Abel), whom Qayin (Cain) murdered.
26 And to Sheth (Seth), to him also
there was born a son; and he called
his name Enosh: then began men to
call upon 1 the name of hwhy.
Chapter 5
1 This is the scroll of the generation
of Ahdahm (Adam). In the day that
Elohim created Ahdahm (Adam)
(mankind), He made him in the
likeness of Elohim.
2 He created them male and female,
and blessed them and called their
name Ahdahm (Adam)2 in the day
they were created.
3 And Ahdahm (Adam) lived one
hundred and thirty years, and begot a
son in his own likeness,3 after his
image, and named him Sheth (Seth).
4 After he begot Sheth (Seth), the
days of Ahdahm (Adam) were eight
hundred years; and he begot sons and
daughters.4
5 So all the days that Ahdahm
(Adam) lived were nine hundred and
thirty years; and he died.
6 Sheth (Seth) lived one hundred
and five years, and begot Enosh.

Men did not call YHWH’s name in respect, but
began to profane the name of YHWH, hence
the third commandment had to be introduced.
They started to ascribe worship to; the sun,
moon and the stars. Exactly the opposite of
what YHWH had intended and commanded.
2 The woman is called in Adam’s name, hence
the surname of the male carries.
3 All subsequent generations were in the
likeness of Adam and also inherited the sin
from their abbah Adam.
4Josephus and Jewish tradition tells us;
Adam’s children, numbered, thirty three sons
and twenty three daughters.
29
7 After he begot Enosh, Sheth (Seth)
lived eight hundred and seven years,
and begot sons and daughters.
8 So all the days of Sheth (Seth)
were nine hundred and twelve years;
and he died.
9 Enosh lived ninety years, and
begot Qeynan (Cainan).
10 After he begot Qeynan (Cainan),
Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen
years, and begot sons and daughters.
11 So all the days of Enosh were
nine hundred and five years; and he
died.
12 Qeynan (Cainan) lived seventy
years, and begot Mahalal’el.
13 After he begot Mahalal’el,
Qeynan (Cainan) lived eight hundred
and forty years, and begot sons and
daughters.
14 So all the days of Qeynan
(Cainan) were nine hundred and ten
years; and he died.
15 Mahalale’el lived sixty-five years,
and begot Yared.
16 After he begot Yared, Mahalale’el
lived eight hundred and thirty years,
and begot sons and daughters.
17 So all the days of Mahalale’el
were eight hundred and ninety-five
years; and he died.
18 Yared lived one hundred and
sixty-two years, and begot Chanoch
(Enoch).
19 After he begot Chanoch (Enoch),
Yared lived eight hundred years, and
begot sons and daughters.
20 So all the days of Yared were
nine hundred and sixty-two years; and
he died.
21 Chanoch (Enoch) lived sixty-five
years, and begot Metushelah.
22 Chanoch (Enoch) walked 5 with

1 He was faithful to the end of his days on
earth, and no, YHWH did not rapture him. This
error is propagated in Christendom; instead he
was taken from one place to another. The
Scriptures do not say he was taken into the
third heavens, this is just assumed by many
readers. Enoch died a natural death which is
mentioned in Hebrews 11:5, concluding with
verse 13, ‘these all died in faith.’ See footnote

into the third heavens. The errant Christian
rapture doctrine is built up from this, yet, this
does not talk about any secret rapture of
Enoch.
4 We are not told where he went, he was
transported from one place to another.

30 After he begot Noach (Noah),
Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-
five years, and begot sons and
daughters:
31 So all the days of Lamech were
seven hundred and seventy-seven
years: and he died.
32 And Noach (Noah) was five
hundred years old: and Noach (Noah)
begot Shem,5 Cham (Ham), and

1 Now it came to pass, when men
began to multiply on the face of the
earth, and daughters were born to
them,
2 That the sons of Elohim 6 saw the
daughters of men that they were
beautiful; and they took wives 7 for
themselves of all whom they chose.

they came; these women were giving birth to
deformed children, and giants, which caused
corrupt mankind and taught them all the arts,
wars, and other nasty things. These angels are
bound in the lowest dungeons of She’ol until
the day they will be removed from their chains
and thrown into the lake of fire mentioned in
Jude 1:6.

years later.

afterward,1 when the sons of Elohim 2
came in to the daughters of men, and
they bore children to them, these were
the mighty men who were of old, men
of name.
5 Then hwhy saw that the
wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every intent of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually.
6 And hwhy took pity nevertheless
observing man on the earth, and He
was grieved in His heart.
7 So hwhy said, I will destroy man
whom I have created from the face of
the earth; both man, and beast,
crawling things, and birds of the air; for
it is a pity that I have made them.3

the eyes of hwhy.

were going to be bad, but we are shown the

Torah.

11 The earth also was corrupt before
Elohim, and the earth was filled with
violence.
12 So Elohim looked upon the earth,
and, indeed, it was corrupt; for all flesh
had corrupted their way on the earth.
13 And Elohim said to Noach
(Noah), The end of all flesh has come
before Me; for the earth is filled with
violence through them; and behold, I
will destroy them with the earth.
14 Make yourself an ark of gopher
wood; make rooms in the ark, and
cover it inside and outside with pitch.
15 And this is how you shall make it:
The length of the ark shall be four
hundred and fifty feet, its width
seventy five feet, and its height forty
five feet.5
16 You shall make a window for the
ark, and you shall finish it to eighteen
inches from the roof; and set the door
of the ark in its side; you shall make it
with lower, second, and third decks.
17 And, behold, I, Myself, am
bringing flood of mayim (waters) on
the earth, to destroy6 from under
shamayim (heavens) all flesh, in which
is the breath of life, everything that is
on the earth shall die;
18 But I will establish My covenant
with you; and you shall go into the ark,
you, your sons, your wife, and your
sons' wives with you.
19 And of every living thing of all
flesh, you shall bring two of every sort
into the ark, to keep them alive with
you; they shall be male and female.
5 We are assuming that a cubit is eighteen
inches as the standard measurement but there
were different measures of cubits at different
times.
6 Beresheeth 6:6 now Elohim’s prophetic
thought is revealed through action by the
Gevurah (Strength, might, judgment) to our
left and to His right.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
20 Of the birds after their kind, of
animals after their kind, and of every
crawling thing of the earth after its
kind, two of every kind will come to
you to keep them alive.
21 And you shall take for yourself of
all food that is eaten, and you shall
gather it to yourself; and it shall be
food for you and for them.
22 Thus Noach (Noah) did;
according to all that Elohim
commanded him, so he did.
Chapter 7
1 Then hwhy said to Noach (Noah),
Come into the ark, you and your entire
household, because I have seen that
you are righteous before Me in this
generation.
2 You shall take with you seven
each of every clean1 animal, a male
and his female: two each of animals
that are unclean, a male and his
female.
3 Also seven each of birds of the air,
male and female; to keep the species
alive on the face of all the earth.
4 For after seven more days, I will
cause it to rain on the earth forty days
and forty nights; and I will destroy from
the face of the earth all living things
that I have made.
5 And Noach (Noah) did according
to all that hwhy commanded him.
6 Noach (Noah) was six hundred
years old when the flood of mayim
(waters) were on the earth.
7 So Noach (Noah), with his sons,
his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into
the ark, because of the mayim
(waters) of the flood.
1 There were seven animals since three pairs
make six, with one clean animal for sacrifice.
The unclean were two, as no sacrifice could be
made with them. Noach knew the sacrificial
system inherited from Adam.
32
8 Of clean animals, of animals that
are unclean, of birds, and of
everything that crawls on the earth.
9 Two by two they went into the ark,
to Noach (Noah), male and female, as
Elohim had commanded Noach
(Noah).
10 And it came to pass after seven
days that the mayim (waters) of the
flood were on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of
Noach’s (Noah's) life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the
month, on that day all the fountains of
the great deep were broken up, and
the windows of shamayim (heavens)
were opened.
12 And the rain was on the earth
forty days and forty nights.
13 On the very same day Noach,
(Noah) and Noach (Noah)'s sons,
Shem, Cham (Ham), and Yapheth
(Japheth), and Noach (Noah)'s wife
and the three wives of his sons with
them, entered the ark.2
14 They, and every beast after its
kind, all cattle after their kind, every
crawling creature that crawls on the
ground after its kind, and every bird
after its kind, every bird of every sort.
15 And they went into the ark to
Noach (Noah), two by two, of all flesh
in which is the breath of life.
16 So those that entered, male and
female of all flesh, went in as Elohim
had commanded him: and hwhy shut
him in.
17 Now the flood was on the earth
forty days; the mayim (water)
increased, and lifted up the ark, and it
rose high above the earth.
18 The mayim (water) prevailed, and
greatly increased on the earth; and the
ark moved about on the surface of the
mayim (water).
2 Only eight people survived the flood.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
19 And the mayim (water) prevailed
exceedingly on the earth; and all the
high hills under the whole shamayim,
(heavens) were covered.
20 The mayim (water) rose more
than twenty feet, above the mountains.
21 And all flesh died that moved on
the earth: birds and cattle and beasts
and every crawling creature that
crawls on the earth, and all men:
22 All in whose nostrils was the
breath of the ruach of life, all that was
on the dry land, died.
23 So, He destroyed all living things
which were on the face of the earth,
both man, and cattle, crawling
creatures, and birds of the air; they
were destroyed from the earth: only
Noach, (Noah) and those who were
with him in the ark,1 remained alive.2
24 And the mayim (water) prevailed
on the earth one hundred and fifty
days.
Chapter 8
1 Then Elohim remembered3 Noach
(Noah), and every living thing, and all
the animals that were with him in the
ark. And Elohim made a wind to pass
over the earth, and the mayim (water)
subsided.
2 The fountains of the deep and the
windows of shamayim (heavens) were
also stopped, and the rain from the
shamayim (heavens) was restrained.
3 And the mayim (water) receded
continually from the earth. At the end

of the hundred and fifty days the
mayim (water) decreased.
4 Then the ark rested in the seventh
month, the seventeenth day of the
month, on the mountains of Ararat.4
5 And the mayim (water) decreased
continually until the tenth month. In the
tenth month, on the first day of the
month, the tops of the mountains were
seen.
6 So it came to pass, at the end of
forty days, that Noach (Noah) opened
the window of the ark which he had
made.
7 Then he sent out a raven, which
kept going to and fro until the mayim
(water) had dried up from the earth.
8 He also sent out from himself a
dove, to see if the mayim (water) had
receded from the face of the land.
9 But the dove found no resting
place for the sole of her foot, and she
returned into the ark to him, for the
mayim (water) were on the face of the
whole land. So he put out his hand
and took her, and drew her into the ark
to himself.
10 And he waited yet another seven
days, and again he sent the dove out
from the ark.
11 Then the dove came to him in the
evening, and behold, a freshly plucked
olive leaf5 was in her mouth; and
Noach (Noah) knew that the mayim
(water) had receded from the earth.
4 The ark rested in the ‘region’ known as
‘mountains of Ararat.’ An area between
Armenia and Iran. It is likely that the Ark
rested in the mountain range of Iran.

come through the end time destruction and be

 Beresheeth (Genesis)
12 So he waited yet another seven
days and sent out the dove, which did
not return again to him anymore.
13 And it came to pass in the six
hundred and first year, in the first
month, the first day of the month, that
the mayim (water) were dried up from
the earth; and Noach (Noah) removed
the covering of the ark and looked,
and indeed the surface of the ground
was dry.
14 And in the second month, on the
twenty-seventh day of the month, the
land was dried.
15 Then Elohim spoke to Noach
(Noah), saying,
16 Go out of the ark, you and your
wife, and your sons and your sons'
wives with you.
17 Bring out with you every living
thing of all flesh that is with you: birds
and cattle and every crawling creature
that crawls on the earth, so that they
may abound on the earth, and be
fruitful and multiply on the earth.
18 So Noach (Noah) went out, and
his sons and his wife and his sons'
wives with him.
19 Every animal, every crawling
creature, every bird, and whatever
crawls on the earth, according to their
mishpachot (families), went out of the
ark.
20 Then Noach (Noah) built an altar
to hwhy, and took of every clean
animal and of every clean bird, and
offered burnt offerings1 on the altar.
21 And hwhy smelled a soothing
aroma. Then hwhy said in His heart, I
will never again curse the earth for
man's sake, although the imagination
of man's heart is evil from his youth;
1 Noah knew the difference between clean and
unclean because it was taught to him by Adam
and then later both Noah and his son Shem
setup the first Yeshiva a teaching center to
teach people Torah.
34
nor will I again destroy every living
thing as I have done.
22 While the earth remains,
seedtime and harvest, and cold and
heat, and winter and summer, and day
and night shall not cease.
Chapter 9
1 So Elohim blessed Noach (Noah)
and his sons, and said to them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish 2
the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread
of you shall be on every beast of the
earth, on every bird of the air, on all
that moves on the earth, and on all the
fish of the sea; they are given into your
hand.
3 All moving animals that have life
shall be food 3 for you. I have given
you all things, even as the green
herbs.
4 But you shall not eat flesh with its
life, that is, its blood.
5 Surely for your lifeblood I will
demand a reckoning; from the hand of
every beast I will require it, and from
the hand of man; from the hand of
every man's brother I will require the
life of man.
6 Whoever sheds man's blood, by
man his blood shall be shed: for in the
image of Elohim He made man.
2 The earth was replenished after the flood.
3 Excluding unclean animals, that is how this
text is understood. The list of unclean animals
can be found in Leviticus Ch. 11. Noah knew
what was clean, and unclean, and would never
eat pigs or the likes of such animals. The word
‘All’ and ‘life’ have a special context. See our
article ‘all does not mean all’,

 Beresheeth (Genesis)
7 And as for you, be fruitful, and
multiply;1 bring forth abundantly in the
earth, and multiply in it.
8 Then Elohim spoke to Noach
(Noah), and to his sons with him,
saying,
9 And as for Me, behold, I establish
My covenant2 with you and with your
descendants after you;
10 and with every living creature that
is with you: the birds, the cattle, and
every beast of the earth with you; of all
1 Whether polygamy, or monogamy, both are
the correct model for producing children, in
YHWH’s eyes. The issue is to produce many
children, polygamy, according to Scripture, is
the only model that allows for this. The West
practices, what is, a satanic form of polygamy,
let us explain. Here, a man sleeps with a
woman without marrying her, giving her some
children. He then moves on to do the same
with another woman, until he probably has
quite a few children, and has quite a few
women impregnated with children; but, no
marriage to any of them. Most people accept
this form of satanic polygamy in the West; but
they have problems accepting YHWH’s
allowance for polygamy. The earth cannot be
replenished using the model of one family,
having one child, as is practiced in China. Noah
had a second wife named Emzara, she did not
make it into the ark. Ham was the product of
that marriage, to that wife. They were
Patriarchal, and practiced plural marriages.
There is another argument that YHWH can give
twelve or fourteen children to a woman and no
doubt YHWH can so that does not mean
monogamy is inferior. What these type of
arguments show is the people making them do
not consider that YHWH does not want women
to be pregnant for half their lives. Pregnancy is
difficult and makes many changes in a woman
and some women can even die from it. The
average children in Israel were five to a woman
in a fifty two children family with an average of
seven wives. This can be clearly seen in our
footnote in Numbers 1:46.
2 The covenant is mentioned seven times, and
it represents the top level of the Sefirotic tree,
and the top level of the Menorah.

that go out of the ark, every beast of
the earth.
11 Thus I establish My covenant with
you; never again shall all flesh be cut
off by the mayim (waters) of the flood;
never again shall there be a flood to
destroy the earth.
12 And Elohim said, This is the sign
of the covenant3 which I make
between Me and you, and every living
creature that is with you, for perpetual
generations:
13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and
it shall be for the sign of the covenant
between Me and the earth.
14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud
over the earth, that the rainbow shall
be seen in the cloud:
15 and I will remember My covenant,
which is between Me and you and
every living creature of all flesh; the
mayim (waters) shall never again
become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud;
and I will look on it, to remember the
everlasting covenant between Elohim
and every living creature of all flesh
that is on the earth.
17 And Elohim said to Noach
(Noah), This is the sign of the
covenant, which I have established
between Me and all flesh that is on the
earth.
18 Now the sons of Noach (Noah)
who went out of the ark were: Shem,
and Cham (Ham), and
Yapheth:(Japheth): and Cham (Ham)
was the abbah of Canaan.
19 These three were the sons of
Noach (Noah): and from these the
whole earth was re-populated.
20 And Noach (Noah) began to be a
farmer, and he planted a vineyard:
3 All covenants are eternal, and binding; no
covenant is annulled or abrogated.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
21 Then he drank of the wine, and
was drunk; and became uncovered in
his tent.
22 And Cham (Ham), the abbah of
Canaan, saw the nakedness of his
abbah, and told his two brothers
outside.
23 But Shem and Yapheth (Japheth)
took a garment, laid it on both their
shoulders, and went backward and
covered the nakedness of their abbah:
their faces were turned away, and they
did not see their abbah's nakedness.
24 So Noach (Noah) awoke from his
wine, and knew what his younger son
had done to him.
25 Then he said, Cursed be Canaan;
a servant of servants he shall be to his
brethren.1

Oregon, USA, 2009
The Patriarchal family of Noach.
The question arises as to why Canaan was
cursed by Noach? Why not curse Ham himself,
or Cush or Put or Mitzrayim? By unfolding our
Beresheeth narrative a little further than the
traditional story, one of Noach getting drunk
and Ham coming in and looking at his naked
father, we will soon discover Noach's
patriarchal roots. My suggestion is that Noach
and Ham were enjoying the fruits of Noach's
vineyard, in Noach's tent, when Noach passed
out.
Ham then went into the adjoining chamber,
and slept with Noach's wife. He then came out
being loose lipped because of his merriment,
told his brothers. They then, backed into the
tent and covered their father’s wife; thereby
covering their ‘father’s nakedness.’ Canaan was
the child of this union which is why Noach
cursed Canaan.
The Canaanites were well known in the Torah,
for their perverse sexual practices. Which we
are warned to avoid in Vayikra (Lev). A
despicable trait of sexual immorality was
passed down through the generational line
birthed out of Ham’s sin that took place in
Noach's tent (Beresheeth 9:22). What
36
26 And he said, Blessed be hwhy,
the Elohim of Shem; and may Canaan
be his servant.2
27 May Elohim enlarge Yapheth
(Japheth), and may he dwell in the
tents of Shem; and may Canaan be
his servant.
28 And Noach (Noah) lived after the
flood three hundred and fifty years.
29 So all the days of Noach (Noah)
were nine hundred and fifty years: and
he died.
Chapter 10
1 Now these are the generations of
the sons of Noach (Noah), Shem,
Cham (Ham), and Yapheth (Japheth):
happened is the very thing that Rav Shaul
disciplined the Corinthians for, a man slept with
one of his father’s wives (Qorintyah Alef 5:1).
Yet in our narrative we know that only one of
Noach's wives made it onto the ark. Sefer Ha
Yashar, and Sefer Ha Yovel/Jubilees tell us of
Noach's wives. One named Emzara, the
daughter of Rakeel, who did not make it onto
the ark (Jubilees 4:33). The other named
Naamah, Noach’s wife, the daughter of Enoch,
who was not Ham’s mother, and who did make
it onto the ark (Yashar 5:12). Our text in
Vayikra/Leviticus 18:7 & 18:8 supports this by
clarifying the phrase for Ham’s sin as
‘uncovering your father’s nakedness‘, which
means sleeping with your father’s wife
(Naamah) who is not your mother. The
nakedness of your mother is ‘her nakedness’,
but the term used in Beresheeth ‘your father’s
nakedness‘, is in reference to the nakedness of
your father’s wife that was uncovered i.e. slept
with.
It is also important to note that Abraham lived
with Noach for thirty nine years (Yashar 9:5)
and learned the instructions of YHWH and His
ways. This is clearly where Abraham learned to
order his house into a patriarchal one, that
was, kadosh/Set-Apart, and acceptable to
YHWH, just like Noach before him.
2This prophecy was fulfilled when the original
descendants, living in the land, were removed
by the twelve tribes of Israel.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
And sons were born to them after the
flood.
2 The sons of Yapheth (Japheth)
were Gomer, Magog (Turkey), Madai,
Yavan (Javan), Tubal, Meshech

3 The sons of Gomer were;
Ashkenaz (European), Riphath, and
Togarmah (Turkey).
4 The sons of Yavan (Javan) were;
Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim,1 and
Dodanim (Rhode Islands and parts of
Italy and Spain).
5 From these the coastland peoples
of the Gentiles were separated into
their lands; everyone according to his
language, according to their

Cush,2 Mitzrayim (Egypt) Put (Libya),
and Canaan.3
7 The sons of Cush were; Sheba,4
Chavilah (Havilah),5 Sabtah, Raamah,
and Sabtechah; and the sons of
Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.6

1 Now the whole earth had one
language and Akhad speech.6
2 And it came to pass, as they
journeyed from the east, and they
found flat land between the mountains
in the land of Shinar;7 and they made
their dwelling there.
3 Then they said to one another,
Come, let us make bricks, and bake
them thoroughly. And they had brick
for stone, and they had asphalt for
mortar.
4 And they said, Come, let us build
ourselves a city 8 and a tower, whose
top is in the shamayim (heavens); let
us make a name 9 for ourselves, lest
we be scattered abroad over the face
of the whole earth.

tower to protect them.

city and the tower,1 which the sons of
men had built.
6 And hwhy said, Indeed, the people
are Akhad and they all have an Akhad
language; and this is what they begin
to do: now nothing that they propose
to do, will be withheld from them.
7 Come, let Us 2 go down and there
confuse their language, that they may

from there over the face of all the

there hwhy scattered them abroad

years, and begot sons and daughters.

begot sons and daughters.
20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and
begot Serug:
21 After he begot Serug, Reu lived
two hundred and seven years, and
begot sons and daughters.
22 Serug lived thirty years, and
begot Nachor:
23 After he begot Nachor, Serug
lived two hundred years, and begot
sons and daughters.
24 Nachor lived twenty-nine years,
and begot Terach:
25 After he begot Terach,4 Nachor
lived one hundred and nineteen years,
and begot sons and daughters.
26 Now Terach5 lived seventy years,
and begot Abram, Nachor, and
Charan.6
27 This is the genealogy of Terach:
Terach begot Abram, Nachor, and
Charan; Charan begot Lot.7
4 Terach is the first person, known by the
Jewish writers, to have coined money, then
men started to worship images. He was an
idolater, worshipping statues as elohim, and
seems to have departed from the faith of the
forefathers.
5Abraham’s mum was called Amthalai, or
Chamtelaah, Arabic writers called her, Juno.
6 A place in Turkey, where the moon god’s
temple was in ancient times, and a place of
major trade.
7 Lot and Sarah were biological brother and
sister.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
28 And Charan died before his
abbah Terach in his native land, in Ur
of the Chaldeans.1
29 Then Abram and Nachor took
wives: the name of Abram's wife was
Sarai; and the name of Nachor's wife,
Milcah, the daughter of Charan, the
abbah of Milcah, and the abbah of
Iscah.2
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no
child.
31 And Terach took his son Abram,
and his grandson, Lot, the son of
Charan, and his daughter-in-law Sarai,
his son Abram's wife; and they went
out with them from Ur of the
Chaldeans, to go to the land of
Canaan, and they came to Charan and
dwelt there.
32 So the days of Terach were two
hundred and five years: and Terach
died in Charan.3

Beyth (house), to a land that I will
show you:
2 I will make you a great nation, I will
bless you, and make your name great;
and you shall be a blessing:
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and I will curse him 6 who curses 7
you; and in you all the mishpachot
(families) of the earth shall be en-
grafted.8
4 So Abram departed as hwhy had
spoken to him; and Lot went with him:
and Abram was seventy-five years old
when he departed from Charan.
5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife,
and Lot his brother's son, and all their
possessions that they had gathered,
and the people whom they had
acquired in Charan; and they departed
to go to the land of Canaan; so they
came to the land of Canaan.
6 Abram passed through the land to
the place of Shechem 9, as far as the
terebinth tree of Moreh.10 And the
Canaanites were then in the land.
6 The Hebrew here is, ‘arar’, which means to
curse, or, to put a curse upon, such as, black
magic arts, or, simply uttering via the mouth,
as Balaam the false prophet tried in Numbers
22:18.
7 Both words for curse are different, as the
Hebrew used here is ‘kalal’, which means, -
contempt-, dishonor and despise, which also
has been used in Matthew 18:10. Anyone who
despises Israel will have a divine curse put on
them.
8 All the families shall be engrafted, the
Hebrew word, nevrechu, is used to mean;
engrafting to take place in the future, also
spoken of by Rabbi Paul in Romans 11.
9 The name means shoulder.
10 Moreh means teacher in Hebrew. This place
may well have been an ancient shrine, and
Abraham built an altar there to show the true
Elohim YHWH.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
7 Then hwhy appeared1 to Abram,
and said, To your descendants I will
give this land: and there he built an
altar 2 to hwhy, who had appeared to
him.
8 And he moved from there to the
mountain east of Beyth’el, and he
pitched his tent,3 with Beyth’el on the
west, and Ai on the east: there he built
an altar to hwhy,4and called on the
name of hwhy.
9 So Abram journeyed, going on still
toward the South.
10 Now there was a famine in the
land: and Abram went down to
Mitzrayim (Egypt) to dwell there; for
the famine was severe in the land.
11 And it came to pass, when he
was close to entering Mitzrayim
(Egypt), that he said to Sarai his wife,
Indeed, I know that you are a woman
of beautiful appearance:
12 Therefore it will happen, when the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) see you, that they
will say, This is his wife: and they will
kill me, but they will let you live.
13 Please, say you are my sister:5
that it may be well with me for your
1 The Hebrew text shows, YHWH appeared to
Abraham, physically as a person.
2 There were a particular set of instructions on
how to build the altar for YHWH, and this could
only happen if Abraham had already received
these instructions. He had them from Noah,
and Shem, who were his teachers.
3
The verb here is, to pitch Sarah’s tent first,
and then his own. This is because Abraham
loved Sarah and the sages wrote about this.
Each wife would have her own tent or home.
4 Abraham knew the name of YHWH, and was
saved as a child through Noah. Noah’s son
Shem trained him for 39 years.
5 She was Lot’s sister and Abraham’s niece.
Since Haran was her dad, after his death
Abraham’s father Terach brought her up
therefore she by definition could be called his
sister because of her father bringing her up.
41
sake; and that I may live because of
you.
14 So it was, when Abram came into
Mitzrayim (Egypt), that the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) saw the woman, that she
was very beautiful.
15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw
her, and commended her to Pharaoh:
and the woman was taken to
Pharaoh's Beyth (house).
16 He treated Abram well for her
sake: he had sheep, oxen, male
donkeys, male and female servants,
female donkeys, and camels.
17 But hwhy plagued Pharaoh and
his Beyth (house) with great plagues
because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram and
said, What is this you have done to
me? Why did you not tell me that she
was your wife?
19 Why did you say, She is my
sister'? I might have taken her as my
wife: now therefore here is your wife,
take her, and go your way.
20 So Pharaoh commanded his men
concerning him: and they sent him
away, with his wife, and all that he
had.
Chapter 13
1 Then Abram went up from
Mitzrayim (Egypt), he, and his wife,
and all that he had, and Lot with him,
to the South.
2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in
silver, and in gold.
3 And he went on his journey from
the South as far as Beyth’el, to the
place where his tent had been at the
beginning, between Beyth’el and Ai;
4 To the place of the altar, which he
had made at first: and there Abram
called on the name of hwhy.
Abraham was a good Torah keeper so knew
what he was saying was not a lie.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
5 Lot also, who went with Abram,
had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6 Now the land was not able to
support them, that they might dwell
together: for their possessions were so
great, that they could not dwell
together.
7 And there was strife between the
herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the
herdsmen of Lot's livestock: the
Canaanites and the Perizzites then
dwelt in the land.
8 So Abram said to Lot, Please let
there be no strife between you and
me, and between my herdsmen and
your herdsmen; for we are brethren.
9 Is not the whole land before you?
Please separate from me: if you take
the left, then I will go to the right; or, if
you go to the right, then I will go to the
left.
10 And Lot lifted his eyes, and saw
all the plain of Yardan (Jordan), that it
was well watered everywhere, before
hwhy destroyed Sedom (Sodom) and
Amorah (Gomorrah), like the garden of
hwhy,1 like the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), as you go toward Zoar.
11 Then Lot chose for himself all the
valley of Yardan (Jordan); and Lot
journeyed east: and they separated
from each other.
12 Abram dwelt in the land of
Canaan,2 and Lot dwelt in the cities of
the plain, and pitched his tent even as
far as Sedom (Sodom).
13 But the men of Sedom (Sodom)
were exceedingly wicked and sinful
against hwhy.
14 And hwhy said to Abram, after
Lot had separated from him, Lift your
eyes now, and look from the place
where you are northward, southward,
eastward, and westward:
1 which is where the world ‘Easter’ comes from.
Reference to Eden.
2 Present day Israel.

15 For all the land which you see, I
give to you, and your descendants
forever.
16 And I will make your descendants
as the dust of the earth:3 So that if a
man could number the dust of the
earth, then your descendants also
could be numbered.
17 Arise, walk in the land through its
length and its width; for I give it to you.
18 Then Abram moved his tent, and
went and dwelt by the terebinth etzim
(trees) of Mamre, which are in Hebron,
and built an altar4 there to hwhy.

1 And it came to pass in the days of
Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king

year they rebelled.

7 Then they turned back, and came
to En Mishpat, that is, Kadesh, and
attacked all the country of the

dwelt in Chatzezon-Tamar.
8 And the king of Sedom (Sodom),
the king of Amorah (Gomorrah), the

to the mountains.

is that the king of Iran defeated them. This is a
prefigurement and drash of another battle to
come between Iran and Saudi Arabia. This
would be the precursor to the Western states
feeling the heat because Saudi oil is about to
go up in smoke; but the terrorists that will
arrange to do that will be trained by Iran and
Turkey. Iran will join hands with Turkey to
attack the greater Babylon, being Saudi Arabia,
and will cause destruction. This text, and its
drash, shows us that Iran will come in league
with other nations; and will succeed in
breaking Arabia. The US, and the UK, and
some other EU Nations, will try to rescue
Arabia, which is the picture of Abraham. Please

(Gomorrah), and all their provisions,
and went their way.
12 They also took Lot, Abram's
nephew, who dwelt in Sedom
(Sodom), and his goods, and
departed.
13 Then one who had escaped
came and told Abram the (Abrahu:
Hebrew); 2 for he dwelt by the
terebinth etzim (trees) of Mamre the
Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother
of Aner: and they were allies with
Abram.
14 Now when Abram heard that his
brother was taken captive, he armed
his three hundred and eighteen trained
servants, who were born in his own
Beyth (house), and went in pursuit as
far as Dan.
15 He divided his forces against
them by night, and he and his servants
attacked them, and pursued them as
far as Hobah, which is north of
Damascus.
16 So he brought back all the goods,
and also brought back his brother Lot
and his goods, as well as the women
and the people.
17 And the king of Sedom (Sodom)
went out to meet him at the valley of
Shuweh, that is, the King's valley, after
his return from the defeat of
Chedorlaomer, and the kings who
were with him.
18 Then Melechzedek 3 king of

and the term Hebrew is a modern term, very

4 The word is Shalom not Salem, this was
mistranslated because, when the Israelites
(both houses) were in exile, they lost the
language, and many of the manuscripts were
burnt. After finding the Dead Sea Scrolls, many
people forgot that we are in the modern era
with no Hebrew vowel points; so it is difficult to

Blessed be Abram of Most High El
(Power), Possessor of shamayim
(heavens) and earth:
20 And blessed be Most High EL
(Power), who has delivered your
enemies into your hand. And he gave
him a tithe 1 of all.
21 Now the king of Sedom (Sodom)
said to Abram, Give me the persons,
and take the goods for yourself.
22 But Abram said to the king of
Sedom (Sodom), I have lifted my
hand2 to hwhy, the Most High El
(Power), the Possessor of shamayim
(heavens) and earth.
23 That I will take nothing, from a
thread to a sandal strap, and that I will
not take anything that is yours, lest
you should say, I have made Abram
rich'.

have eaten, and the portion of the men
who went with me, aner, Eshcol, and
Mamre; let them take their portion.
Chapter 15
1 After these things the word of
hwhy came to Abram in a vision,
saying, Do not be afraid Abram: I am
your shield, and your exceeding great
reward.
2 But Abram said, Adon hy (YAH)3
hwhy, what will You give me, seeing I
place some words correctly. But we know now,
from ancient sources, the correct way to say
these words.
1 A tithe of 10% was given long before the
Torah was given to Moses. Tithe is mandatory
for all believers, including Christians, who err
not to keep Torah or to Tithe.
2Abraham swore an oath in the name of
YHWH as stated in Torah Deuteronomy 6:13.
3 Adon Yah, followed by YHWH, is like calling
Him Master YAH, YHWH. The word is not

go childless, and the heir of my Beyth
(house) is Eli’ezer of Damascus?
3 Then Abram said, Look, You have
given me no offspring; indeed one
born in my Beyth (house) is my heir!
4 And, behold, the Word of hwhy
came to him, saying. This one shall
not be your heir; but one who will
come from your own body shall be
your heir.
5 Then He brought him outside, and
said, Look now toward the shamayim
(heavens), and count the stars, if you
are able to number them: and He said
to him, So shall your descendants be.
6 And he believed in hwhy; and He
accounted it to him for righteousness.4
7 Then He said to him, I am hwhy,
who brought you out of Ur 5 of the
Chaldeans, to give you this land to
inherit it.
8 And he said, Adon hy (YAH)
hwhy, how shall I know that I will
inherit it?
9 So He said to him, Bring Me a
three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old
female goat, a three-year-old ram, a
turtledove, and a young pigeon.
Adonai; but Adon YAH, in English that would
be, Master Yah or Lord Yah. Remember the
original Semitic Hebrew had no vowel points,
these were introduced in 6th century C.E., to
help read the language. Many Jewish people
had forgotten how to read and write after the
Babylonian exile; but by then, Hebrew had also
evolved into two further stages, from the most
ancient script of Torah, to the royal Hebrew
known as, Paleo Hebrew. Paleo is still spoken,
and maintained by the Samaritans in the North
of Israel today.
4 Abraham was saved by the grace of YHWH
because he believed in Him, he did not have to
believe in any spiritual laws, or recite some
new found formula by the sixteenth century
Protestant Church.
5This is modern day Sanliurfa in South-Eastern
Turkey. He was not from Iraq.

10 Then he brought all these to Him,
and cut them in two, down the middle,
and placed each piece opposite the
other: but he did not cut the birds in
two.
11 And when the vultures came
down on the carcasses, Abram drove
them away.
12 Now when the sun was going
down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram:
and, behold, horror and great
darkness fell upon him.
13 Then He said to Abram, Know
certainly that your descendants will be
strangers in a land that is not theirs,
and will serve them; and they will afflict
them four hundred years;1
14 And also the nation, whom they
serve, I will judge: afterward they shall
come out with great possessions.2
15 Now as for you, you shall go to
your ahvot (fathers) in peace (shalom);
you shall be buried at a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they
shall return here: for the iniquity of the
Amorites is not yet complete.

2These are the Twelve Tribes of Israel, who
were to be released with great treasures.
3 Picture of the Set-Apart plurality of YHWH.
Interestingly, when the covenant was made
with Abraham, it shows us two recognisable
distinct entities. First, the ‘smoking oven’, and
second, the ‘burning torch.’ Let us look briefly
into what is underneath the hood so to speak.
The Torch is the Messiah (the living Torah)
who calls Himself the ‘light of the world’
(Yahuchannan John 8:12).
45
18 On the same day hwhy made a
covenant with Abram, saying: To your
descendants I have given this land,
from the river of Mitzrayim (Egypt) to
the great river, the River Euphrates.4
19 The Kenites, the Kenezzites, and
the Kadmonites,
The Hebrew word tanoor (Tav, Nun, Vav and
Resh) for the burning oven, shows us the
picture of all Three, the Abbah, the Son, and
the Ruach Ha Kodesh; the feminine side of
YHWH in the Sefirotic tree.
Tav - This is the Son, who reveals himself as
the Aleph and Tav, the Father in Him. The
sign of the stake, where He shows Himself to
be pierced, and also, the Completer of the
covenant, as His words echo ‘it is finished.’
Nun – This shows us the picture of the fish that
is representative of the seed, without which
there can be no continuation of life. It’s a
symbol that shows us the ‘seed’ that originates
from the Father, and given to the Ruach Ha
Kodesh, to bring forth the Son, Messiah
Yahushua. The Yesod: reproduction, what we
call born again; that leads to the Malchut
(Kingdom of Messiah). We see here also, the
children of Messiah, (Yashayahu 53:10) we see
here that through Abraham, (Beresheeth 12:3)
many people would receive the new birth. He,
being the type of the man, before us so to
speak.
Vav – The hook and the ladder to heaven, with
the three columns. This has the ordinal value
of Messiah Yahushua, connecting the
shamayim (heavens) with the earth below.
Without Him we cannot ascend.
The Resh – The Resh is the picture of the
Ruach Ha Kodesh, the head being the
beginning. See Mishle (Proverbs 1:7) …The
beginning of Da’at (knowledge). Here
knowledge is the mother side of Elohim, known
as the Ruach ha Kodesh, represented by the
middle column of the Tree, which represents
the Ten Attributes of YHWH.
4 The land of Israel has much bigger borders
than today, and will one day receive all the
land going into Iraq, and coming down to parts
of Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, since the Mountain
of Sinai is in Saudi Arabia and it too belongs to
Israel.

Chapter 16
1 Now Sarai Abram's wife, had
borne him no children: and she had a
Mitzri (Egyptian) maidservant, whose
name was Hagar.
2 So Sarai said to Abram, See now,
hwhy has restrained me from bearing
children: Please, go in to my maid;
perhaps I shall obtain children by her;1
And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.
3 Then Sarai, Abram's wife took
Hagar her maid the Mitzri (Egyptian),
and gave her to her husband Abram to
be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten
years in the land of Canaan.
4 So he went in to Hagar, and she
conceived: and when she saw that she
had conceived, her mistress became
despised2 in her eyes.
5 Then Sarai said to Abram, You
have brought this wrong on me: I gave
my maid into your embrace; and when
she saw that she had conceived, I
became despised in her eyes: Hwhy
judge between me and you.
6 So Abram said to Sarai, Indeed,
your maid is in your hand; do to her as
1 Sarah gave her husband Abraham, Hagar, to
be a wife, to have a child. Polygamy is
scriptural and always allowed when the need
for children is paramount. Remember YHWH’s
first commandment was, ‘to be fruitful, and
multiply.’ I am sure we cannot find families
being fruitful with one or two children. Sarah
obviously could not wait for YHWH’s promise
since it took twenty five years to fulfil, a long
time indeed; but YHWH always delivers at His
appointed time not ours.
2 Hagar became proud that she was now
pregnant; but her companion wife was not
able. Sarah was the primary wife, who always
holds authority in a polygamous household,
including with children, to be favoured first.

harshly with her, she fled from her
presence.
7 Now Malakh hwhy 4 found her by
a spring of mayim (water) in the
desert, by the spring on the way to
Shur.5
8 And He said, Hagar, Sarai's maid,
where did you come from? And where
are you going? And she said, I am
fleeing from the presence of my
mistress Sarai.
9 So the Malakh hwhy said to her,
Return to your mistress, and submit 6
yourself under her hand.
10 Then the Malakh hwhy said to
her, I will multiply your descendants 7
exceedingly, so that they shall not be
counted for multitude.
11 And the Malakh hwhy said to her,
Behold, you are with child, and you
shall bear a son, you shall call his
name Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el);8
because hwhy has heard your
affliction.
12 He shall be a wild man;9 his hand
shall be against every man, and every
man's hand against him; and he shall

are to be favoured first. This is how Plural
marriages work.

6The second wife must submit under the first
wife. YHWH shows Hagar she is wrong to run
away.
7 Ishma’el the son of Abraham was to be
favoured by YHWH with blessings and
multiplication of descendants.

meaning ‘The Voice of YHWH, the Mighty One.’

15 So Hagar bore Abram a son: and
Abram named his son, whom Hagar
bore, Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el).

called Abram, but your name shall be
Abraham;8 for I have made you an
abbah of many nations.9

and I will make nations of you, and
kings shall come from you.

between Me and you and your
descendants after you in their
generations for an everlasting
covenant, to be Elohim to you, and
your descendants after you.
8 Also I give to you, and your
descendants after you, the land in
which you are a stranger, all the land
of Canaan, as an everlasting 10
possession; and I will be their Elohim.
9 And Elohim said to Abraham, As
for you, you shall keep My covenant,11
you, and your descendants after you
throughout their generations.
10 This is My covenant which you
shall keep, between Me and you and
your descendants after you; every
7 The covenant of circumcision is so important
that it is mentioned ten times, indicating the
ten sefirot. Also, this needs to be done after
accepting Yahushua as the Messiah. This is one
of the two seals, Sabbath being the first.
8 YHWH changes Abraham’s name, and adds a
Heh, the indication of which is to show us that
he had the Ruach of Elohim (Set-apart Spirit),
known as Cochmah.

her punishment, the ten tribes mingled with
10 The land of Israel has no conditions set for
eternity no matter what anyone thinks or says.
11 How do you keep a covenant? By being
obedient to the requirements of the covenant,
by circumcising, and obeying Torah. If you do
one and not the other or do not do either then
you have no part in this covenant whether you
call yourself Muslim or Christian.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
male child among you shall be
circumcised.
11 And you shall be circumcised in
the flesh of your foreskins;1 and it shall
be a sign 2 of the covenant3 between
you and Me.
12 He who is eight days old among
you shall be circumcised,4 every male
child5 in your generations, he who is
born in your Beyth (house), or bought
with money from any foreigner, who is
not your descendant.
13 He who is born in your Beyth
(house), and he who is bought with
your money, must be circumcised; and
1 The Hebrew word ‘Arlot’ indicated that all
harlotries must be left behind. Remember, all
languages descended from Hebrew including
English, where we have the word harlot
meaning whoring. So, YHWH set the covenant
of circumcision for His people so they would no
longer whore after other elohim. Circumcision
was done in some other nations before
Abraham was asked to perform it; but YHWH’s
order of circumcision was different from the
other nations. In some African nations today
they perform circumcision just before they get
married, while circumcision in the Hebrew faith
is a seal of our covenant rights.
2 This is the seal of the Abrahamic-faith
covenant. The two seals of our faith are the
Sabbath and circumcision, not having one of
these makes you a non-disciple of Yahushua,
and renders you guilty of judgment, your
rewards in the kingdom being lost. Also you
who are male, will not be able to enter the
Temple either.
3 Claiming covenant is not enough, you are
only in the Abrahamic covenant if you get
circumcised; as that is the eternal requirement
of the covenant. This must be done as soon as
possible after a man’s salvation.
4 If a male child, then he is circumcised on the
8th day, and the child is given a name, which
has a good Hebrew meaning?
5 Scripture does not allow female circumcision,
although some nations perform this act.
48
My covenant shall be in your flesh for
an everlasting 6 covenant:7
14 And the uncircumcised male
child, who is not circumcised in the
flesh of his foreskin, that person shall
be cut off 8 from his people; he has
broken My covenant.9
15 Then Elohim said to Abraham, As
for Sarai your wife, you shall not call
her name Sarai, but Sarah10 shall be
her name.
16 And I will bless her, and also give
you a son by her: and I will bless her,
and she shall be a mother of
nations:11 kings of peoples shall be
from her.
6 Everlasting means, forever, and not 4000
years. An error espoused by Christendom
teaches that after this timeframe, we are under
‘grace’, and no longer have to circumcise.
Abraham was also in grace and did not
complain about circumcision.
7 This is an eternal covenant; Christians err by
believing it’s only for the Jewish nation.
Abraham was not Jewish and it must be done,
irrelevant of what tribe of Israel you belong to.
There is only one tribe of Israel called
Yahudah, with eleven other sons, who make up
the remaining tribes, known as Israel. Many
believers come from these other tribes.
8 Not complying with YHWH’s law means
death, not blessings as many in Christendom
claim.
9 Christians are erring by deliberately choosing
not to follow through with circumcision. Why
blame your pastor, when you can read it
yourself that the covenant is eternal but the
Pastor is only towing the old party line and not
what the scripture says. Both the Pastor and
the non-observing believer will have to answer
to YHWH, as they do not carry the ‘seal’ of the
covenant that is required.
10 Sarah was also saved and had the Ruach of
Elohim (Set-Apart Spirit), so she was given a
heh, which is the Chochmah wisdom of YHWH,
represented as an attribute of YHWH.
11This includes both; kings from the scattered
Ten tribes of Israel, and kings from the tribe of
Yahudah.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
17 Then Abraham fell on his face,
and laughed, and said in his heart,
Shall a child be born to a man who is
one hundred years old? And shall
Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a
child?
18 And Abraham said to Elohim, Oh
that Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) might 1
live before Your face!
19 Then Elohim said, No, Sarah your
wife shall bear you a son, and you
shall call his name Yah’sac 2 (Isaac): I
will establish My covenant with him for
an everlasting covenant, and with his
descendants after him.
20 And as for Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el), I have heard you: Behold, I
have blessed him, and will make him
fruitful, and will multiply him
exceedingly; he shall beget twelve
princes, and I will make him a great
nation.
1 Abraham questioned YHWH by asking, can
the promise be with Ishma’el. YHWH responds
in the next verse in the negative, that He will
not take his life; but the covenant is with Isaac.
Therefore not breaking His own law, which
says, the first born son of the primary wife
must be chosen first. Ishma’el was a legitimate
son of Abraham, and rightful owner to
blessings, after Isaac. Some Christians err on
this by claiming Ishma’el was not Abraham’s
legitimate son. He was the legal son of
Abraham, fully sealed ‘in’ the covenant; but not
the man to ‘carry’ the covenant, that is all.
2 The name of Yahsac is ‘YHWH laughs over
the unbelief.’ This also shows a future picture
where all the people of Israel will become
‘laughter’, for the nations, when they scoff and
jeer at the Elohim of Israel as a myth and
legend. They laugh at the flood as a legend,
they laugh at the exodus from Egypt as a
legend. Today this can be seen anywhere in or
out of Israel, where the gentile nations laugh
at the Scriptures of the Hebrews. Even
Christendom mocks, and laughs at Torah
keeping believers. In the end YHWH will have
the final laugh.
49
21 But My covenant I will establish
with Yah’sac (Isaac),3 whom Sarah
shall bear to you at this set time next
year.
22 Then He finished talking with
him, and Elohim went up from
Abraham.
23 So Abraham took Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el) his son, all who were born
in his Beyth (house), and all who were
bought with his money, every male
among the men of Abraham's Beyth
(house); and circumcised the flesh of
their foreskins that very same day that
Elohim had said to him.
24 Abraham was ninety-nine years
old when he was circumcised in the
flesh of his foreskin.4
25 And Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) his
son was thirteen years old, when he
was circumcised in the flesh of his
foreskin.
26 That very same day Abraham
was circumcised, and his son 5
Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el).
27 And all the men of his Beyth
(house), born in the Beyth (house), or
bought with money from a foreigner,
were circumcised with him.

3 The Messianic line was to pass through Isaac,
and not Ishma’el, thus ruling out prophets from
Ishma’el’s sons.
4 Abraham did his own circumcision at ninety-
nine; what excuse do you have?
5 Scripture is very clear; Ishma’el is Abraham’s
rightful son, and not just the son of a slave
woman. Hagar was Abraham’s second wife,
fully approved scripturally; as opposed to by
the world, which frowns upon second
marriages in a patriarchal order.

Chapter 18
1 Then hwhy appeared1 to him by
the terebinth etzim (trees) of Mamre,2
as he was sitting by the tent door in
the heat of the day.3
2 So he lifted his eyes and looked,
and behold, three men 4 were standing
by him; and when he saw them, he ran
from the tent door to meet them, and
bowed himself to the ground,
3 and said, My Adon hy (YAH), if I
have now found favour in Your sight,
do not pass by Your servant.
4 Please let a little mayim (water) be
brought, and wash your feet,5 and rest
yourselves under the etz (tree).
5 And I will bring a morsel of lechem
(bread), that you may comfort your
hearts. After that you may pass by,
inasmuch as you have come to your
servant. And they said, Do as you
have said.
6 So Abraham hurried into the tent to
Sarah and said, Quickly, make ready
1 Abraham saw YHWH on more than one
occasion, physically, as a man even though he
had many wives in his life, Jerome will curl in
his grave knowing this, as he was an ascetic
hating marriage. YHWH came to Abraham soon
after the act of circumcision. When we are
obedient to YHWH’s set-apart Torah he will
visit us too in our households. Unanswered
prayer is usually a sign of either disobedience
or trials. YHWH does not try everyone; but only
does so with limited people in His kingdom.
2 same will happen in the millennium when
The occasion of the visit was the Passover
feast.
3 About 12 noon to 2.30 pm. 2.30 pm was also
the time the Passover lamb was prepared to be
sacrificed.
4 YHWH here on earth in person to sit and
commune with Abraham. This is Yahushua
with two angels as the two witnesses at his
side.
5 In the ancient near east the meaning of
‘washing of feet’ can mean to throw away all
your false elohim and leave your idolatries
behind before you come into the tent or home.
51
three measures of fine meal; knead it
and make cakes.6
7 And Abraham ran to the herd, took
a tender and good heifer, gave it to a
young man, and he hastened to
prepare it.
8 So he took butter and milk and the
calf which he had prepared, and set it
before them; and he stood by them
under the tree as they ate.7
9 Then they said to him, Where is
Sarah your wife? And he said, Here, in
the tent.
10 And He said, I will certainly return
to you according to the time of life, and
behold, Sarah your wife shall have a
son. And Sarah was listening in the
tent door which was behind him.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were
old, well advanced in age; and Sarah
had passed the age of childbearing.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within
herself, saying, after I have grown old,
shall I have pleasure, my master 8
being old also?
13 And hwhy said to Abraham, Why
did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I surely
bear a child, since I am old?
6 The occasion was no ordinary one but the
first Passover that YHWH celebrated with
Abraham where a calf was sacrificed. The
YHWH will have us sacrifice heifers opposed to
goats and lambs.
7 Standing by your guests is a sign of humility
while they are eating and Abraham was a
humble man. Many in the Muslim world still
practice this custom with their guests when
women cook and allow the guests to eat while
they wait upon the guests.
8 How many wives today refer to their
husbands as ‘master’, or even treat them as
one. Many are cursing them to their face, as if
they are the servants of the modern wives, and
plotting behind their backs.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
14 Is anything too hard for hwhy? At
the appointed time1 I will return to you,
according to the time of life, and Sarah
shall have a son.
15 But Sarah denied it, saying, I did
not laugh, for she was afraid. And He
said, No, but you did laugh!
16 Then the men rose from there
and looked toward Sedom (Sodom),
and Abraham went with them to send
them on the way.
17 And hwhy said, Shall I hide 2
from Abraham what I am doing,
18 since Abraham shall surely
become a great and mighty nation,
and all the nations of the earth shall be
grafted3 in him?
19 For I have known him, in order
that he may command his children and
his household after him, that they keep
the way 4 of hwhy, to do
righteousness 5 and justice, that hwhy
may bring to Abraham what He has
spoken to him.
20 And hwhy said, Because the
outcry against Sedom (Sodom) and
Amorah (Gomorrah) is great, and
because their sin is very grave,
21 I will go down now and see
whether they have done altogether
according to the outcry against it that
has come to Me; and if not, I will know.
1 We must always wait for YHWH’s appointed
times in our lives if we are to have His plan
fulfilled.
2 YHWH will not hide anything from his
prophets.
3 Nivrechu to mean all the nations will be
grafted in him. Rabbi Paul understood this
term and reiterated it in Romiyah 11:24.
4This is why Yahushua was saying ‘I am the
way’ Yahuchannan 14:6, He is Yahuweh. The
way is Torah.
5 The term ‘to do righteousness’, means to
keep and obey the Torah of YHWH.
52
22 Then the men turned away from
there and went toward Sedom
(Sodom), but Abraham still stood
before hwhy.
23 And Abraham came near and
said, Would You also destroy the
righteous with the wicked?
24 Suppose there were fifty
righteous within the city; would You
also destroy the place and not spare it
for the fifty righteous that were in it?
25 Far be it from You to do such a
thing as this, to slay the righteous with
the wicked, so that the righteous
should be as the wicked; far be it from
You! Shall not the Judge of all the
earth do right? 6
26 And hwhy said, If I find in Sedom
(Sodom) fifty righteous within the city,
then I will spare all the place for their
sakes.
27 Then Abraham answered and
said, Indeed now, I who am but dust
and ashes have taken it upon myself
to speak to Adon hy (YAH):
28 Suppose there were five less
than the fifty righteous; would You
destroy all of the city for lack of five?
And He said, If I find there forty-five, I
will not destroy it.
29 Then he spoke to Him yet again
and said, Suppose there should be
forty found there? And He said, I will
not do it for the sake of forty.
30 And he said, Let not Adon hy
(YAH) be angry, and I will speak:
Suppose thirty should be found there?
And He said, I will not do it if I find
thirty there.
31 Then he said, Indeed now, I have
taken it upon myself to speak to Adon
hy (YAH) Suppose twenty should be
found there? And He said, I will not
destroy it for the sake of twenty.
6 YHWH is an equitable judge even if someone
never heard about Yahushua their judgment
will be just.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
32 And he said, Let not Adon hy
(YAH) be angry and I will speak but
once more: Suppose ten 1 should be
found there? And He said, I will not
destroy it for the sake of ten.
33 So hwhy went His way as soon
as He had finished speaking with
Abraham; and Abraham returned to
his place.
Chapter 19
1 Now the two angels came to
Sedom (Sodom) in the evening; and
Lot was sitting in the gate 2 of Sedom
(Sodom): and when Lot saw them, he
rose to meet them; and he bowed
himself with his face toward the
ground;
2 And he said, Here now, my
masters, please turn in to your
servant's Beyth (house), and spend
the night, and wash your feet, 3 then
You may rise early, and go on your
way. And they said, No; but we will
spend the night in the open square.
3 But he insisted strongly; so they
turned into him, and entered his Beyth
(house); and he made them a feast,
and baked chametz lechem
(unleavened bread),4 and they ate.
4 Now before they lay down, the
men of the city, the men of Sedom
(Sodom), both old and young, all the
people from every quarter, surrounded
the Beyth (house):
5 And they called to Lot, and said to
him, Where are the men who came to
1 Drash (allegory), the Ten tribes. YHWH
spared the ten to restore them back to Israel.

Bread; even Lot celebrated this, and he was

a Hebrew.
53
you tonight? Bring them out to us, that
we may know 5 them carnally.
6 So Lot went out to them through
the doorway, and shut the door behind
him,
7 And said, Please, my brethren, do
not do so wickedly.
8 See now, I have two daughters
who have not known a man; please,
let me bring them out to you, and you
may do to them as you wish:6 only do
nothing to these men; since this is the
reason they have come under the
shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back; Then
they said, This one came in to stay
here, and he keeps acting as a judge:
now we will deal worse with you, than
with them. So they pressed hard
against the man Lot, and came near to
break down the door.
10 But the men reached out their
hands, and pulled Lot into the Beyth
(house) with them, and shut the door.
11 And they struck the men who
were at the doorway of the Beyth
(house) with blindness, both small and
great: so that they became weary
trying to find the door.
12 Then the men said to Lot, Have
you anyone else here? A son-in-law,
your sons, your daughters, and
whoever you have in the city, take
them out of this place:
13 For we will destroy this place,
because the outcry against them has

angels, because these men were wicked and
depraved. They were into sodomy and that is a
sin.
these men not just be given away for rape. In
and it would never be allowed for them to be
given over to the enemy. Hence, Lot cannot
give the guests to the evil men. This custom of
not handing over guests is still practiced by the
Muslims all over the world.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
grown great before the face of hwhy;
and hwhy has sent us to destroy it.
14 So Lot went out, and spoke to his
sons-in-law, who had married his
daughters, and said, Get up, get out of
this place; for hwhy will destroy this
city. But to his sons-in-law he seemed
to be joking.
15 When the morning dawned, the
angels urged Lot to hurry, saying,
Arise, take your wife, and your two
daughters, who are here; lest you be
consumed in the punishment of the
city.
16 And while he lingered, the men
took hold of his hand, his wife's hand,
and the hands of his two daughters;
hwhy being merciful to him, and they
brought him out and set him outside
the city.
17 So it came to pass, when they
had brought them out, that he said,
Escape for your lives; and do not look
behind you, nor stay anywhere in the
plain; escape to the mountains, lest
you be destroyed.
18 Then Lot said unto them, Oh no,
not so my Adon hwhy:1
19 Indeed now, your servant has
found favour in your sight, and you
have revealed great unmerited favour,
which you have shown me by saving
my life; but I cannot escape to the
mountains, lest some evil overtake
me, and I die:
20 See now, this city is near enough
to flee to, and it is a little one: Please,
let me escape there (is it not a little
one?) and my soul shall live.
21 And he said to him, See, I have
favored you concerning this thing also,
in that I will not overthrow this city, for
which you have spoken.
1 Master YHWH is present here, to destroy and
bring down fire from heaven, from Abbah
YHWH. Lot knows this and wants to prevent his
own death in the cities he is escaping to.
54
22 Hurry escape there; for I cannot
do anything until you arrive there.
Therefore the name of the city was
called Tzoar.
23 The sun had risen upon the earth
when Lot entered Tzoar.
24 Then hwhy rained brimstone and
fire on Sedom (Sodom) and Amorah
(Gomorrah), from hwhy 2 out of the
shamayim (heavens);
25 So He overthrew those cities, all
the plain, all the inhabitants of the
cities, and what grew on the ground.
26 But his wife looked intently from
behind hesitating,3 and she became a
pillar of salt.4
27 And Abraham went early in the
morning to the place where he had
stood before hwhy:
2 We see a picture of the Abbah, and the Son.
Greater, Elder, YHWH, and the lesser YHWH,
the Son, under the authority of His Abbah in
heaven.
3 The Hebrew suggests when YHWH started
the hail and brimstones; she did not come out
of the range of the fire of the skies, and the air
was full of some type of vapour, which caused
her body to just go stiff like a statue. She was
looking intently, suggesting that she would
miss her lavish lifestyle in Sodom. Aventinus, a
historian, reports an incident in modern day
Bavaria, in 1348, when more than fifty
peasants, with the cows they had milked, at
the time of an earthquake, were struck with a
pestilential air, and stiffened into statues of
salt. We must not take YHWH's judgment
lightly, they were real and the future ones will
also be real.
4 Lot’s wife lacked obedience, they were told
not to look back, as the energy of the storm
was intense; there was vapour and air, and she
longed to go back to the ways of Sodom and
showed lack of respect for YHWH and His
judgment, she inhaled the vapour and became
like a statue. Her statue was confirmed by
Josephus, the historian, as still standing by the
Dead Sea where Sodom was discovered, and
he said that, he saw her statue.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
28 Then he looked toward Sedom
(Sodom) and Amorah (Gomorrah), and
toward all the land of the plain, and he
saw, and, behold, the smoke of the
land which went up like the smoke of a
furnace.1
29 And it came to pass, when
Elohim destroyed the cities of the
plain, that Elohim favoured Abraham,2
and sent Lot out of the midst of the
overthrow, when He overthrew the
cities in which Lot had dwelt.
30 And Lot went up out of Tzoar,
and dwelt in the mountains,3 and his
two daughters were with him; for he
feared to dwell in Tzoar: and he and
his two daughters, dwelt in a cave.
31 Now the bechora (first born) said
to the younger, Our abbah is old, and
there is no man on the earth to come
in to us4 as is the custom of all the
earth:
32 Come, let us make our abbah
drink wine, and we will lie with him,
that we may preserve the lineage of
our abbah.5
1 There were two cities destroyed, this is a
remez (hint), of the future burning of the oil
rich kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for its harlotries
with the kings of the world and Jordan.
2 Lot survived because of Abraham.
3 The city of Tzor was also wicked, so Lot was
afraid that the judgment would also destroy
this city. Josephus, the Jewish historian, tells
us that he hid in the caves of Engedi; in and
around the mountains of Israel, near the Dead
Sea. This is likely to be the same place where
King David hid from King Saul: (1 Samuel
23:29).
4They assumed everyone was dead, and there
was now no one to marry them.
5 Preserving lineage is a big issue in the
Eastern culture. This is true for Orthodox Jews,
and many Muslims. Both would give anything
to have a son, who can continue their line.
Although Western culture was concerned about
this in the past but no longer concedes to such
55
33 So they made their abbah drink
wine that night: and the bechora
(firstborn) went in, and lay with her
abbah; and he did not know when she
lay down, or when she arose.
34 It happened on the next day, that
the bechora (firstborn) said to the
younger, Indeed I lay with my abbah
last night: let us make him drink wine
tonight also; and you go in, and lie with
him, that we may preserve the lineage
of our abbah.
35 Then they made their abbah
drink wine that night also: and the
younger arose, and lay with him; and
he did not know when she lay down, or
when she arose.
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot
were with child by their abbah.
37 The bechora (first born) bore a
son, and called his name Moab: he is
the abbah of the Moabites to this day.
38 And the younger, she also bore a
son, and called his name Ben-Ammi:
he is the abbah of the people of
Ammon to this day.
Chapter 20
1 And Abraham journeyed from
there to the South, and dwelt between
Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in
Gerar.
2 Now Abraham said of Sarah his
wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech
king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 But Elohim came to Abimelech in
a dream by night, and said to him,
Indeed, you are a dead man, because
of the woman whom you have taken;
for she is a man's wife.
things; this is an important concept for all
Easterners.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
4 But Abimelech had not come near
her: and he said, Adon hy (YAH), will
You slay a righteous gentile1 also?
5 Did he not say to me, She is my
sister'? And she, even she herself
said, He is my brother. In the integrity
of my heart and innocence of my
hands I have done this.
6 And Elohim said to him in a
dream, Yes, I know that you did this in
the integrity of your heart; for I also
withheld you from sinning against Me:
therefore I did not let you touch her.
7 Now therefore restore the man's
wife; for he is a prophet, and he will
pray for you, and you will live: but if
you do not restore her, know that you
shall surely die,2 you, and all who are
yours.
8 So Abimelech rose early in the
morning, called all his servants, and
told all these things in their hearing:
and the men were very afraid.
9 And Abimelech called Abraham,
and said to him, What have you done
to us? How have I offended you, that
you have brought on me and on my
kingdom a great sin? You have done
deeds to me that ought not to be done.
10 Then Abimelech said to
Abraham, What did you have in view
that you have done this thing?
11 And Abraham said, Because I
thought, Surely the fear of Elohim is
1 Abimelech was referring to himself so the
correct translation is gentile, and not nation, as
many Bible translations make this assumption.
2 Anyone who comes against YHWH’s people,
his end will be worse than his beginning! The
punishment for casting down one of YHWH’s
prophets is not just death for the man, or
woman, who did this; but their whole
household will come under the curse of death,
and disease. The reverse side of this, is helping
the prophet of YHWH, to receive blessings, and
honour. Choose wisely!

not in this place; and they will kill me3
on account of my wife.
12 But indeed she is truly my sister;
she is the daughter of my abbah,4 but
not the daughter of my mother; and
she became my wife.
13 And it came to pass, when
Elohim caused me to wander from my
abbah's Beyth (house), that I said to
her, This is your kindness that you
should do for me; in every place where
we go, say of me, He is my brother.
14 Then Abimelech took sheep,
oxen, and male, and maid servants,
and gave them to Abraham, and he
restored Sarah his wife to him.
15 And Abimelech said, See, my
land is before you: dwell where it
pleases you.
16 Then to Sarah he said, Behold, I
have given your brother a thousand
pieces of silver: indeed, this vindicates
you, before all who are with you, and
before all others: thus she was proved
right.
17 So Abraham prayed to Elohim:
and Elohim healed Abimelech, his
wife, and his maid servants;5 then they
bore children.
18 For hwhy had closed up all the
wombs of the Beyth (house) of
Abimelech, because of Sarah
Abraham's wife.
3 Murder was a less serious offence in this
place.
4Please see footnote Genesis 12:13, 11:27 and
11:29.
5 These were Abimelech’s concubines: referred
to as maidservants, they were his lesser wives.
The same Hebrew word is used in Beresheeth
21:12 for Abraham’s wife Hagar. Note, YHWH
came to reprimand Abimelech for trying to
commit adultery unknowingly; but YHWH was
perfectly ok with him taking on additional wives
Polygamy was, and is, Biblically allowed in all
ages.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
Chapter 21
1 And hwhy visited Sarah as He
had said, and hwhy did for Sarah as
He had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived, and bore
Abraham a son in his old age, at the
appointed time of which Elohim had
spoken to him.
3 And Abraham called the name of
his son that was born to him, whom
Sarah bore to him, Yah’sac 1 (Isaac).
4 Then Abraham circumcised his
son Yah’sac (Isaac) when he was
eight days old, as Elohim had
commanded him.
5 Now Abraham was one hundred
years old, when his son Yah’sac
(Isaac) was born to him.
6 And Sarah said, Elohim has made
me laugh, so that all who hear will
laugh with me.
7 She also said, Who would have
said to Abraham, that Sarah would
nurse children? For I have borne him a
son in his old age.
8 So the child grew, and was
weaned: and Abraham made a great
feast on the same day that Yah’sac
(Isaac) was weaned.
9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar
the Mitzri (Egyptian), whom she had
birthed for Abraham, scoffing.2
10 Therefore she said to Abraham,
Cast out this bondwoman and her son:
for the son of this bondwoman shall
not be heir with my son, namely with
Yah’sac (Isaac).
11 And the matter was very
displeasing in Abraham's sight
because of his son.3
1Yahsac means ‘Yahuweh will laugh over the
unbelief.’
2 Possible reference to idolatry; or pretending
to shoot him with an arrow. Likely he was
making fun of Isaac, and was jealous of him.
57
12 But Elohim said to Abraham, Do
not let it be displeasing in your sight
because of your offspring, or because
of your maidservant; whatever Sarah
has said to you, listen to her voice;4 for
in Yah’sac (Isaac) your descendants5
shall be called.
13 Yet I will also make a nation of
the son of the maidservant, because
he is your seed.6
14 So Abraham rose early in the
morning, and took lechem (bread), and
a skin of mayim (water), and putting it
on her shoulder, he gave it to Hagar,
and the boy, and sent her away: and
she departed, and wandered in the
wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the mayim (water) in the
skin was used up, and she placed the
boy under one of the shrubs.
16 Then she went, and sat down
across from him, at a distance of about
a bowshot: for she said to herself, Let
me not see the death of the boy. So
she sat opposite him, and lifted her
voice, and wept.
17 And Elohim heard the voice of
the child;7 and the Malakh Elohim
(Angel of YHWH) called to Hagar out
of shamayim (heavens), and said to
her, What ails you, Hagar? Fear not,
3 While Sarah was correct, that only her son
could qualify for a double portion of the
inheritance in a polygamous relationship.
Abraham loved Ishma’el too, that is why he
was displeased, and did not want to send
Hagar away.
4 This was a test for Abraham; he was not
kicking his wife out for fun.
5 Covenant to be established only through
Isaac, not Ishma’el.
6 YHWH confirms Ishma’el is Abraham’s
legitimate son too.
7 YHWH heard Ishma’el’s crying, and had
compassion towards him, hence children’s
prayers are important, and heard. He loved
Ishma’el because he was Abraham’s son.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
for Elohim has heard the voice of the
child where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the boy, and hold
him with your hand; for I will make him
a great nation.1
19 And Elohim opened her eyes,
and she saw a well of mayim (water);
then she went and filled the skin with
mayim (water), and gave the boy to
drink.
20 So Elohim was with the lad; and
he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness,
and became an archer.
21 He dwelt in the wilderness of
Paran: and his mother took a wife for
him from the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).2
22 And it came to pass at that time,
that Abimelech and Phichol the
commander of his army spoke to
Abraham, saying, Elohim is with you in
all that you do:
23 Now therefore, swear to me by
Elohim that you will not deal falsely
with me, with my offspring, or with my
posterity: but according to the
kindness that I have done to you, you
will do to me, and to the land in which
you have dwelt.
24 And Abraham said, I will swear.
25 Then Abraham rebuked
Abimelech because of a well of mayim
(water), which Abimelech's servants
had seized.
26 And Abimelech said, I do not
know who has done this thing: you did
not tell me, nor had I heard of it, until
today.
27 So Abraham took sheep and
oxen, and gave them to Abimelech;
and the two of them made a covenant.
1 YHWH’s blesses Ishma’el.
2 Ishma’el got mixed with the Egyptians, since
his mother was an Egyptian. The wife of
Ishma’el was very rude, and not a good
woman.
58
28 And Abraham set seven ewe
lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Then Abimelech asked
Abraham, What is the meaning of
these seven ewe lambs which you
have set by themselves?
30 And he said, You will take these
seven ewe lambs from my hand, that
they may be my witness, that I have
dug this well.
31 Therefore he called that place
Beersheba; because the two of them
swore an oath there.
32 Thus they made a covenant at
Beersheba: so Abimelech rose, with
Phichol the commander of his army,
and they returned to the land of the
Philistines.
33 Then Abraham planted a
tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there
called on the name of hwhy , the
Everlasting El (Power).
34 And Abraham stayed in the land
of the Philistines many days.
Chapter 22
1 Now it came to pass after these
things, that Elohim tested Abraham,
and said to him, Abraham: and he
said, Here I am.
2 And He said, Take now your son,
your only son Yah’sac (Isaac), whom
you love, and go to the land of
MarYah;3 and offer him there as a
burnt offering on one of the mountains
of which I shall tell you.
3 So Abraham rose early in the
morning, and saddled his donkey, and
3 Temple Mount in Israel, MarYah is the
Aramaic word for Master YHWH. So the
reserved land was called as Master YHWH, this
is YHWH’s identifier, same as the Mountain
Sini’yah, known as Sinai, where He spoke to
Moses.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
took two of his young men with him1,
and Yah’sac (Isaac) his son, and he
split the wood for the burnt offering,
and arose, and went to the place of
which Elohim had told him.
4 Then on the third day Abraham
lifted up his eyes, and saw the place
afar off.2
5 And Abraham said to his young
men, Stay here with the donkey; the
lad and I will go over there and
worship, and we will come back to
you,
6 So Abraham took the wood of the
burnt offering, and laid it on Yah’sac
(Isaac) his son; and he took the fire in
his hand, and a knife; and the two of
them went together.
7 And Yah’sac (Isaac) spoke to
Abraham his abbah, and said, My
abbah: and he said, Here I am, my
son. And he said, Look, the fire and
the wood: but where is the lamb for a
burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son,
Elohim will appear Himself as the lamb
for a burnt offering:3 and the two of
them went together.
9 Then they came to the place of
which Elohim had told him: and
Abraham built an altar there, and
placed the wood in order, and he
bound Yah’sac (Isaac) his son, and
laid him on the altar upon the wood.
1 The two men were Ishma’el and Eli’ezer
arguing over who will get Abraham’s
inheritance after Isaac’s death.
2 Also the drash (allegory) is to see the end-
times, and what will happen with the Messiah
of Israel, how He will hang from a tree. This is
why Yahushua said, your abbah Abraham
rejoiced to see my day, he saw it, and was
pleased (John 8:56).
3 Abraham was speaking about the future
glorious appearing of Yahushua as the Messiah,
the Lamb of Elohim.
59
10 And Abraham stretched out his
hand, and took the knife to slay his
son.
11 And the Malakh hwhy4 called to
him from the shamayim (heavens) and
said, Abraham, Abraham:5 and he
said, Here I am.
12 And He said, Do not lay your
hand on the lad, or do anything to him:
for now I know that you fear Elohim,
seeing you have not withheld your
son, your beloved son6 from Me.
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes,
and looked, and there behind him was
a ram caught in a thicket7 by its horns:
and Abraham went and took the ram,
and offered it up for a burnt offering
instead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of
the place hwhy Yireh (YHWH Will-
Provide): as it is said to this day, on
the Mountain of hwhy He shall be
seen.
15 Then the Malakh hwhy called to
Abraham a second time out of the
shamayim (heavens),
16 And said, By Myself I have
sworn, says hwhy, because you have
done this thing, and have not withheld
your son, your beloved son:
17 In blessing I will bless you, and
in multiplying I will multiply your
descendants as the stars of the
4 Yahushua depicted as the Angel of YHWH.
5Calling his name twice was so Abraham
would pay attention, and listen; to stop
Abraham from sacrificing his son Isaac.
6 A remez (hint), to the beloved Son of YHWH,
who is Yahushua of things to come.
Translating this as an ‘only’ son would make no
sense, as that would make it sound like
Ishma’el is illegitimate, while we know he is
not.
7 YHWH provided the lamb; but Satan tried to
stop the lamb from reaching the altar, so
Abraham would sacrifice his son, Hence, YHWH
had to speak, to stop Abraham.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
shamayim (heavens), and as the sand
which is on the seashore; and your
descendants shall possess the gate of
their enemies;1
18 In your seed all the nations of the
earth shall be blessed; because you
have obeyed My voice.
19 So Abraham returned to his
young men, and they rose and went
together to Beersheba; and Abraham
dwelt at Beersheba.
20 Now it came to pass after these
things, that it was told Abraham,
saying, Indeed, Milcah, also has borne
children to your brother Nachor;
21 Huz his bechor (firstborn), Buz
his brother, Kemu’el the abbah of
Aram,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Yidlaph,
and Bethu’el.
23 And Bethu’el begot Ribkah
(Rebecca): these eight Milcah bore to
Nachor, Abraham's brother.
24 His concubine, whose name was
Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham,
Thahash, and Maachah.

1 Sarah lived one hundred twenty-
seven years:2 these were the years of
the life of Sarah.
1 The many nations that will come out of
Abraham will defeat and conquer their
enemies. England and the US are two such
nations.
2 Sarah died from the grief of thinking that her
son was perhaps going to be used for a
sacrifice not knowing the full facts. Although
Sarah loved Abraham her husband, still
sometimes the most faithful wives will question
their husband’s motives because of fear, rather
than waiting upon YHWH to answer prayer.
60
3
2 So Sarah died in Kiryath Arba; that
is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and
Abraham came to mourn for Sarah,
and to weep for her.
3 Then Abraham stood up from
before his dead, and spoke to the sons
of Heth, saying,
4 I am a foreigner and a sojourner
among you: give me property for a
burial place among you, that I may
bury my dead out of my sight.
5 And the sons of Heth answered
Abraham, saying to him,
6 Hear us, my master: you are a
mighty prince among us: bury your
dead in the choicest of our burial
places; none of us will withhold from
you his burial place, that you may bury
your dead.
7 Then Abraham stood up, and
bowed himself to the people of the
land, the sons of Heth.
8 And he spoke with them, saying, If
it is your wish that I bury my dead out
of my sight; hear me, and meet with
Ephron the son of Zohar for me,
9 That he may give me the cave of
Machpelah,4 which he has, which is at
the end of his field; let him give it to
me at the full price, as property for a
burial place among you.
Note, it is not advisable to communicate
everything of YHWH with your spouse
immediately, there has to be a time of prayer,
and then exercising wisdom when to
communicate such matters.
3The kuf is a small letter here indicating the
word ‘bakah’ to weep, this means Abraham had
an open palm in front of YHWH, and was
weeping for his wife Sarah and wanted her
back; but this could not be granted.
4This cave is the burial place for the patriarchs
and is in Israel in (Hebron) to this day where
many Jewish people go to pray.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
10 Now Ephron dwelt among the
sons of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite
answered Abraham in the presence of
the sons of Heth, all who entered at
the gate of his city, saying,
11 No, my master, hear me: I give
you the field, and the cave that is in it,
I give it to you; in the presence of the
sons of my people I give it to you: bury
your dead.
12 Then Abraham bowed himself
down before the people of the land.
13 And he spoke to Ephron in the
hearing of the people of the land,
saying, If you will give it, please, hear
me: I will give you money for the field;
take it from me, and I will bury my
dead there.
14 And Ephron answered Abraham,
saying to him,
15 My master, listen to me: the land
is worth four hundred shekels of silver;
what is that between you and me? So
bury your dead.
16 And Abraham listened to Ephron;
and Abraham weighed out the silver
for Ephron, which he had named in the
hearing of the sons of Heth, four
hundred shekels of silver, currency of
the merchants.
17 So the field of Ephron, which
was in Machpelah, which was before
Mamre, the field, and the cave, which
was in it, and all the etzim (trees) that
were in the field, which were within all
the surrounding borders, were
accounted for,
18 Unto Abraham as a possession
in the presence of the sons of Heth,
before all who went in at the gate of
his city.
19 And after this, Abraham buried
Sarah his wife in the cave of the field
of Machpelah before Mamre: that is,
Hebron in the land of Canaan.
20 So the field, and the cave that is
in it, were deeded to Abraham by the
sons of Heth as property for a burial
place.
61
Chapter 24
1 Now Abraham was old, well-
advanced in age; and hwhy had
blessed Abraham in all things.
2 So Abraham said to the elder
servant1 of his Beyth (house), who
ruled over all that he had, Please, put
your hand under my thigh:2
3 And swear by hwhy, the Elohim of
shamayim (heavens) and the Elohim
of the earth, that you will not take a
wife for my son from the daughters of
the Canaanites,3 among whom I dwell:
4 But you shall go to my land and to
my mishpacha (family), and take a
wife for my son Yah’sac (Isaac).
5 And the servant said to him,
Perhaps the woman will not be willing
to follow me to this country: Must I
take your son back to the land from
which you came?
6 But Abraham said to him, Beware
that you do not take my son back
there.
7 hwhy Elohim of the shamayim
(heavens), who took me from my
abbah's house and from the land of
my mishpacha (family), and who
spoke to me and swore to me, saying,
To your descendants I give this land;
He will send His Angel before you, and
you shall take a wife for my son from
there.
8 And if the woman is not willing to
follow you, then you will be released
1 Eli’ezer
2 Hands were put on the reproductive organs
as a custom in ancient times to say if you do
not do what you say, may your descendants
perish. It’s also the area of circumcision so this
shows respect to the covenant. The testicular
area is the area of the man’s seed, so this was
considered important. Some people in India
and Ethiopia still take oaths like this.
3These people were idolatrous and would turn
away Isaac’s heart.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
from this oath: only do not take my son
back there.
9 So the servant put his hand under
the thigh of Abraham his master, and
swore to him concerning this matter.
10 Then the servant took ten of his
master's camels and departed, for all
his master's goods were in his hand:
and he arose and went to
Mesopotamia, to the city of Nachor.
11 And he made his camels kneel
down outside the city by a well of
mayim (water) at evening time, the
time when women go out to draw
mayim (water).
12 Then he said, O hwhy, Elohim of
my master Abraham, please give me
success this day, and show unmerited
favour1 to my master Abraham.2
13 Behold, I stand here by the well
of mayim (water); and the daughters of
the men of the city are coming out to
draw mayim (water):
14 Now let it be that the young
woman to whom I say, Please let
down your pitcher that I may drink; and
she says, Drink, and I will also give
your camels a drink: let her be the one
whom You have appointed for Your
servant Yah’sac (Isaac); and by this I
will know that You have shown
kindness to my master.
15 And it happened, before he had
finished speaking, that behold, Ribkah
(Rebecca), who was born to Bethu’el,
son of Milcah, the wife of Nachor,
1Abraham already had unmerited favour with
YHWH; but his servant wanted to see that
being demonstrated, which YHWH complied
with immediately.
2 The Biblical way to take a bride is determined
by the parents and by prayer to YHWH. You do
not make a good marriage by dating someone
for six years living together immorally in
fornication and wilful sin producing children out
of wedlock. This is called an arranged marriage
and can be seen today in the Muslim, Hindu
cultures and the Sephardic Hebrew culture.
62
Abraham's brother, came out with her
pitcher on her shoulder.
16 Now the young woman was very
beautiful to behold, a virgin, no man
had known her: and she went down to
the well, filled her pitcher, and came
up.
17 And the servant ran to meet her
and said, Please let me drink a little
mayim (water) from your pitcher.
18 So she said, Drink, my master.
Then she quickly let her pitcher down
to her hand, and gave him a drink.
19 And when she had finished
giving him a drink, she said, I will draw
mayim (water) for your camels also,
until they have finished drinking.
20 Then she quickly, emptied her
pitcher into the trough, ran back to the
well to draw mayim (water), and drew
for all his camels.3
21 And the man wondering at her
remained silent, so as to know
whether hwhy had made his journey
prosperous or not.
22 So it was, when the camels had
finished drinking, that the man took a
golden nose ring weighing half a
shekel,4 and two bracelets for her
wrists weighing ten shekels of gold,
23 And said, Whose daughter are
you? Tell me please: is there room in
your abbah's Beyth (house) for us to
lodge?
24 So she said to him, I am the
daughter of Bethu’el, Milcah's son,
whom she bore to Nachor.
3 Rebecca was a dedicated and strong woman
drawing water for ten camels. The common
custom in the East is still for the ladies to go
out and fetch water sometimes travelling for
miles.
4 This is a Hebrew custom adopted by other
cultures such as India, Pakistan and the Arab
nations.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
25 Moreover she said to him, We
have both straw and enough feed, and
room to lodge.
26 Then the man bowed down his
head and worshiped hwhy.
27 And he said, Blessed be hwhy
Elohim of who has not forsaken my
master Abraham of His unmerited
favour and His truth: as for me, being
on the way, hwhy led me to the Beyth
(house) of my master's brethren.1
28 So the young woman ran and
told those of her mother's Beyth
(house) these things.
29 Now Ribkah (Rebecca) had a
brother whose name was Laban, and
Laban ran out to the man by the well.
30 So it came to pass, when he saw
the nose ring and the bracelets on his
sister's wrists, and when he heard the
words of his sister Ribkah (Rebecca),
saying, Thus the man spoke to me;
that he went to the man; and there he
stood by the camels at the well.
31 And he said, Come in, O blessed
of hwhy, Why do you stand outside?
For I have prepared the Beyth (house),
and a place for the camels.
32 Then the man came to the Beyth
(house): and he unloaded the camels,
and provided straw and feed for the
camels, and mayim (water) to wash
his feet and the feet of the men who
were with him.
33 And food was set before him to
eat, but he said, I will not eat until I
have told about my errand. And he
said, Speak on.
34 So he said, I am Abraham's
servant.
35 hwhy has blessed my master
greatly; and he has become great: and
1 Even though the relatives had heard of
YHWH, they had no relationship with him. This
shows us we cannot just drop our families, and
run off, we need to be faithful to YHWH and
witness to our families.
63
He has given him flocks and herds,
silver and gold, male, and female
servants, and camels, and donkeys.2
36 And Sarah my master's wife bore
a son to my master when she was old:
and to him he has given all that he
has.
37 Now my master made me swear,
saying, You shall not take a wife for
my son from the daughters of the
Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;
38 But you shall go to my abbah's
Beyth (house) and to my mishpacha
(family), and take a wife for my son.3
39 And I said to my master,
Perhaps the woman will not follow
me?
40 But he said to me hwhy, before
whom I walk,4 will send His Angel with
you, and prosper your way; and you
shall take a wife for my son from my
mishpacha (family), and from my
abbah's Beyth (house):
41 You will be clear from this oath
when you arrive among my mishpacha
(family); for if they will not give her to
you, then you will be released from my
oath.
42 And this day I came to the well
and said, O hwhy Elohim of my
master Abraham, if You will now
prosper the way in which I go;
43 Behold, I stand by the well of
mayim (water); and it shall come to
pass that when the virgin comes out to
draw mayim (waters), and I say to her,
2 No mention of Abraham breeding pigs
because he ate clean animals.
3 This is a Hebrew and Biblical custom. We find
this custom is still prevalent amongst the
Muslims in Pakistan, who will not marry their
sons and daughters outside their family and if
they are abroad, they will send for the son’s
wives back in Pakistan. Some Arab tribes do
the same.
4 In Hebrew the halacha, whose commandants
I obey, meaning obeying Torah of YHWH.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
Please give me a little mayim (water)
from your pitcher to drink;
44 And she says to me, Drink and I
will draw for your camels also; let her
be the woman whom hwhy has
appointed for my master's son.
45 But before I had finished
speaking in my heart, there was
Ribkah (Rebecca), coming out with her
pitcher on her shoulder; and she went
down to the well, and drew mayim
(water): and I said to her, Please let
me drink.
46 And she made haste and let her
pitcher down from her shoulder, and
said, Drink, and I will give your camels
a drink also. So I drank, and she gave
the camels a drink also.
47 Then I asked her, and said,
Whose daughter are you? And she
said, The daughter of Bethu’el,
Nachor's son, whom Milcah bore to
him. So I put the nose ring on her nose
and the bracelets on her wrists.
48 And I bowed my head and
worshiped hwhy, and blessed hwhy
Elohim of my master Abraham, who
had led me in the way of truth1 to take
the daughter of my master's brother
for his son.
49 Now if you will deal kindly and
truly with my master, tell me; and if
not, tell me; that I may turn to the right
hand or to the left.
50 Then Laban and Bethu’el
answered and said, The thing comes
from hwhy: we cannot speak to you
either bad or good.
51 Here is Ribkah (Rebecca) before
you, take her, and go, and let her be
your master's son's wife, as hwhy has
spoken.
52 And it came to pass, when
Abraham's servant heard their words,
1 The way of Truth – Eli’ezer was taught Torah
keeping by Abraham. He discipled him.
64
that he worshiped hwhy, bowing
himself to the earth.
53 Then the servant brought out
jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and
clothing, and gave them to Ribkah
(Rebecca): he also gave precious
things to her brother and to her
mother.2
54 And he and the men who were
with him, ate and drank, and stayed all
night; then they arose in the morning,
and he said, Send me away to my
master.
55 But her brother and her mother
said, Let the young woman stay with
us a few days, at least ten; after that
she may go.
56 And he said to them, Do not
hinder me, since hwhy has prospered
my way; send me away so that I may
go to my master.
57 So they said, We will call the
young woman and ask her personally.
58 Then they called Ribkah
(Rebecca), and said to her, Will you go
with this man? And she said, I will go.
59 So they sent away Ribkah
(Rebecca) their sister, and her nurse,3
and Abraham's servant, and his men.
60 And they blessed Ribkah
(Rebecca), and said to her, Our sister,
may you become the mother of
thousands of ten thousands;4 and may
your descendants possess the gates5
of those who hate them.
2 In Eastern culture you have to give gifts to
the parents of the girl and vice versa.

fulfilled as given to Abraham when the Ten
tribes were scattered and they became many
gentile nations.

prophecy comes down through Jacob to his
twelve sons, collectively known as Israel.

61 Then Ribkah (Rebecca) and her
maids arose, and they rode on the
camels, and followed the man: so the
servant took Ribkah (Rebecca), and
departed.
62 Now Yah’sac (Isaac) came from
the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt
in the South.
63 And Yah’sac (Isaac) went out to
meditate in the field in the evening:
and he lifted his eyes, and looked,
and, there, the camels were coming.
64 Then Ribkah (Rebecca) lifted her
eyes, and when she saw Yah’sac
(Isaac), she dismounted1 from her
camel.
65 For she had said to the servant,
Who is this man walking in the field to
meet us? And the servant said, It is my
master: so she took a veil,2 and
covered herself.
66 And the servant told Yah’sac
(Isaac) all the things that he had done.
67 Then Yah’sac (Isaac) brought
her into his mother Sarah's tent, and
he took Ribkah (Rebecca), and she
became his wife; and he loved her: so
Yah’sac (Isaac) was comforted after
his mother's death.

1 Abraham again took a wife,3 and
her name was Keturah.
2 And she bore him Zimran,
Yokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishvak, and
Shuah.
1 It was the custom for women to get off their
ride and bow.
2 She covered herself to show she was willing
to marry him and showed a sign of submission
severely lacking in our modern women.
3 Abraham’s 3rd wife. Now he had two wives.
Our patriarchs demonstrated how to practice
polygamy as instructed in Torah.

3 Yokshan begot Sheba and Dedan.
And the sons of Dedan4 were
Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.5
4 And the sons of Midian; were
Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Avidah, and
Eldaah. All these were the children of
Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that he had
to Yah’sac (Isaac).
6 But Abraham gave gifts,6 to the
sons of the concubines,7 which
Abraham had, and while he was still
living he sent them eastward, away
from Yah’sac (Isaac) his son, to the
country of the east.
7 This is the sum of the years of
Abraham's life which he lived, one
hundred seventy-five years.
8 Then Abraham breathed his last.
and died in a good old age, an old
man, and full of years; and was
gathered to his people.
9 And his sons Yah’sac (Isaac) and
Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) buried him in
the cave of Machpelah,8 which is
before Mamre, in the field of Ephron
the son of Zohar the Hittite,
10 The field which Abraham
purchased from the sons of Heth:
there Abraham was buried, and Sarah
his wife.
11 And it came to pass, after the
death of Abraham, that Elohim blessed

could not, in Torah, be permitted firstborn
inheritance. This only belonged to Sarah, and
her son Isaac. But the gifts here specifies
something of value, something tangible like
gold, silver, cows, sheep and goats since our
father Abraham was very rich, and a blessed
man of YHWH.
7 Abraham had other wives too.

his son Yah’sac (Isaac); and Yah’sac
(Isaac) dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.
12 Now this is the genealogy of
Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el), Abraham's
son, whom Hagar the Mitzri
(Egyptian), Sarah's maidservant, bore
to Abraham:
13 And these were the names of the
sons of Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el), by
their names, according to their
generations: The bechor (firstborn) of
Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el), Nebayoth;
then Kedar,1 Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah,2 Massa,
15 Hadar, Tema,3 Yetur, Naphish, and
Kedemah:
16 These were the sons of
Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el), and these
were their names, by their towns and
their settlements, twelve princes 4
according to their nations.
17 These were the years of the life
of Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el): one
hundred thirty-seven years: and he
breathed his last and died; and was
gathered to his people.5
18 They dwelt from Chavilah
(Havilah) as far as Shur which is east
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), as you go toward
Assyria: he died in the presence of all
his brethren.

4 They became twelve nations. The end time’s
war is between the twelve sons of Ishma’el and
Isaac. The sons of darkness verse the sons of
light. The whole thing is about the inheritance
and the battle still rages on to this day who
owns the land of Israel.
5Ishma’el was a saved righteous man in
YHWH.

Torah Parsha 6 Toldot
Beresheeth 25:19-28:9
Haftarah: Malachi 1:1-2:7
Brit Chadasha: Romiyah (Romans) 9:1-31
19 This is the genealogy of Yah’sac
(Isaac), Abraham's son: Abraham
begot Yah’sac (Isaac):
20 Yah’sac (Isaac) was forty years
old when he took Ribkah (Rebecca) as
wife, the daughter of Bethu’el the
Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of
Laban the Syrian.
21 Now Yah’sac (Isaac) pleaded
with hwhy for his wife, because she
was barren: and hwhy granted his
plea, and Ribkah (Rebecca) his wife
conceived.
22 And the children struggled
together within her; and she said, If all
is well, why am I this way? So she
went to inquire of hwhy.
23 And hwhy said to her, Two
nations are in your womb, two peoples
shall be separated from your body;
one people shall be stronger than the
other; and the older shall serve the
younger.6
24 So when her days were fulfilled
for her to give birth, indeed there were
twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red, he
was like a hairy7 garment all over, so
they called his name Esav.8
26 Afterward his brother came out,
and his hand took hold of Esav's heel;
so his name was called Ya’acob
6 The battle was spiritual, and was revealed in
the birth of the children when, Esav tried to kill
his brother in the womb by his heel.
7 Esav being hairy is the Remez hint of him
being part of the end-times hairy beast of
Islam.
8 Esav’s biblical meaning is stubble as he shall
be stubble one day. Read Obadiah 1:18.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
(Jacob):1 and Yah’sac (Isaac) was
sixty years old when she bore them.
27 So the boys grew: and Esav was
a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but
Ya’acob (Jacob) was a perfect man,
dwelling in tents.
28 And Yah’sac (Isaac) loved Esav,
because he ate of his game: but
Ribkah (Rebecca) loved Ya’acob
(Jacob).
29 Now Ya’acob (Jacob) cooked a
stew: and Esav came in from the field,
and he was famished:
30 And Esav said to Ya’acob
(Jacob), Please feed me with that
same red stew; for I am famished:
therefore his name was called Edom.
31 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said, Sell
me your birthright2 as of this day.
32 And Esav said, Look, I am about
to die: so what profit shall this
birthright be to me?
33 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said,
Swear to me as of this day; So he
swore to him: and sold his birthright to
Ya’acob (Jacob).
34 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) gave Esav
lechem (bread) and stew of lentils; and
he ate and drank, arose, and went his
way: therefore Esav despised his
birthright.3
1 The Ancient meaning of the word Jacob is
‘YHWH, watching and guarding His House’,
while the secondary meaning is ‘hand over
heel’ because Jacob was protecting his head
from being crushed by Esav in his mother’s
womb where Esav tried to crush his head.
2 Selling your birthright means giving your
inheritance away which Esav did.
3 The birthright is so important in Eastern
culture that people do not give up on it, and
may even kill for it. Yet here we are shown a
picture of Esav, being so concerned about his
stomach that he does not care for his
birthright.
67
Chapter 26
1 There was a famine in the land,
besides the first famine that was in the
days of Abraham. And Yah’sac (Isaac)
went to Abimelech king of the Plushtim
(Philistines), in Gerar.
2 Then hwhy appeared to him, and
said, Do not go down to Mitzrayim
(Egypt); live in the land of which I shall
tell you:
3 Dwell in this land, and I will be
with you and bless you; for to you and
your descendants I give all these
lands, and I will perform the oath
which I swore to Abraham your Abbah;
4 And I will make your descendants
multiply as the stars of the shamayim
(heavens), and I will give to your
descendants all these lands; and in
your descendants all the nations of the
earth4 shall be blessed;
5 because Abraham obeyed My
voice and guarded My ordinance, My
commandments, My statutes, and My
Torot.5
6 So Yah’sac (Isaac) dwelt in Gerar:
7 And the men of the place asked
him about his wife. And he said, She is
my sister: for he was afraid to say, She
is my wife, because he thought, lest
the men of the place should kill me for
Ribkah (Rebecca): because she is
beautiful to behold.
8 Now it came to pass; when he had
been there a long time that Abimelech
king of the Plushtim (Philistines)
looked through a window, and saw,
and there was Yah’sac (Isaac)
showing endearment to Ribkah
(Rebecca) his wife.
9 Then Abimelech called Yah’sac
(Isaac) and said, Quite obviously she
4Same promise passed down to Isaac from
Abraham.
5 Abraham was a very good Torah keeper and
YHWH gave witness testimony on behalf of
Abraham keeping His Torah teachings.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
is your wife. So how could you say,
She is my sister'? And Yah’sac (Isaac)
said to him, Because I said, lest I die
on account of her.
10 And Abimelech said, What is this
you have done to us? One of the
people might soon have lain with your
wife, and you would have brought guilt
on us.
11 So Abimelech charged all his
people, saying, He who touches this
man or his wife shall surely be put to
death.1
12 Then Yah’sac (Isaac) sowed in
that land, and reaped in the same year
a hundredfold; and hwhy blessed him.
13 The man began to prosper, and
continued prospering until he became
very prosperous:
14 For he had possessions of flocks
and possessions of herds and a great
number of servants: so the plushtim
(Philistines) envied him.
15 Now the Plushtim (Philistines)
had stopped up all the wells which his
abbah's servants had dug in the days
of Abraham his abbah, and they had
filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said to Yah’sac
(Isaac), Go away from us, for you are
much mightier than we.
17 Then Yah’sac (Isaac) departed
from there and pitched his tent in the
Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 And Yah’sac (Isaac) dug again
the wells of mayim (water) which they
had dug in the days of Abraham his
abbah, for the Plushtim (Philistines)
had stopped them up after the death of
Abraham: he called them by the

the laws of the Torah. A clear hint of the
religion of Islam, which will come and settle in
the regions of Israel and will take on some
Torah aspects. Although we know that the
Philistines were idolatrous people. Here is the
demarcation of the end-times battle, if one can
see it.
68
names which his abbah had called
them.
19 Also Yah’sac’s (Isaac) servants
dug in the valley, and found a well of
running mayim (water) there.
20 But the herdsmen of Gerar did
strive with Yah’sac (Isaac)'s
herdsmen, saying, The mayim (water)
is ours:2 so he called the name of the
well Esek,3 because they strove with
him.
21 Then they dug another well, and
they quarrelled over that one also: so
he called its name Sitnah.4
22 And he moved from there, and
dug another well; and they did not
quarrel over it: so he called its name
Rehoboth;5 because he said, For now
hwhy has made room for us, and we
shall be fruitful in the land.
23 Then he went up from there to
Beersheba.
24 And hwhy appeared to him the
same night, and said, I am the Elohim
of your abbah Abraham: do not fear,
for I am with you. I will bless you and
multiply your descendants for My
servant Abraham's sake.
25 So he built an altar there and
called on the name of hwhy, and he
pitched his tent there; and there
Yah’sac’s (Isaac) servants dug a well.
26 Then Abimelech came to him
from Gerar with Ahuzzath one of his

claiming everything of Israel as their own?
3 Means Contention.
4 Hatred
5 To enlarge, this is an incredible end-times
prophecy for the children of Isaac. The Muslims
will have contention with Israel; they will show
hatred and battle with them. Then YHWH will
give Israel victory and will enlarge their land,
to the point that the Muslims will no longer be
seen quarrelling with them, as that will be the
end of all ends, after the battles.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
friends, and Phichol the commander of
his army.
27 And Yah’sac (Isaac) said to
them, Why have you come to me,
since you hate me and have sent me
away from you?
28 And they said, We have certainly
seen that hwhy is with you. So we
said, Let there now be an oath
between us, between us and you, and
let us make a covenant with you;
29 That you will do us no harm,
since we have not touched you, and
since we have done nothing to you but
good and have sent you away in
peace (shalom): you are now the
blessed of hwhy.
30 So he made them a feast, and
they ate and drank.
31 Then they arose early in the
morning and swore an oath with one
another; and Yah’sac (Isaac) sent
them away, and they departed from
him in peace (shalom).
32 It came to pass the same day
that Yah’sac’s (Isaac) servants came
and told him about the well which they
had dug, and said to him, We have
found mayim (water).
33 So he called it Shevah: therefore
the name of the city is Beersheba to
this day.
34 When Esav was forty years old,
he took as wives: Yehudeeth the
daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and
Basemath the daughter of Elon the
Hittite:
35 And they were a grief of mind to
Yah’sac (Isaac) and Ribkah
(Rebecca).1
1 YHWH did not allow intermarrying of foreign
women, or foreign men. Yet many believers
are marrying Hindus, and Muslims which is an
act of rebellion and sin according to Torah.
69
Chapter 27
1 Now it came to pass, when
Yah’sac (Isaac) was old and his eyes
were so dim that he could not see, that
he called Esav his eldest son, and said
to him, My son: and he answered him,
Here I am.
2 And he said, Behold now, I am
old. I do not know the day of my death:
3 Now therefore, please take your
weapons, your quiver and your bow,
and go out to the field and hunt game
for me.
4 And make me savoury food, such
as I love, and bring it to me that I may
eat, that my soul may bless you before
I die.
5 Now Ribkah (Rebecca) was
listening when Yah’sac (Isaac) spoke
to Esav his son. And Esav went to the
field to hunt game and to bring it.
6 So Ribkah (Rebecca) spoke to
Ya’acob (Jacob) her son, saying,
Indeed, I heard your father speak to
Esav your brother, saying,
7 Bring me game and make savoury
meat for me, that I may eat it and
bless you in the presence of hwhy
before my death.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my
voice according to what I command
you.
9 Go now to the flock and bring me
from there two choice kids of the
goats; and I will make savoury meat
from them for your father, such as he
loves:
10 Then you shall take it to your
father, that he may eat it, and that he
may bless you before his death.
11 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said to
Ribkah (Rebecca) his mother, Look,
Esav my brother is a hairy man, and I
am a smooth-skinned man:
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
12 Perhaps my father will feel me,
and I shall seem to be a cheat to him;1
and I shall bring a curse on myself and
not a blessing.
13 But his mother said to him, Let
your curse be on me, my son; only
obey my voice,2 and go get them for
me.
14 And he went and got them and
brought them to his mother, and his
mother made savoury meat, such as
his father loved.
15 Then Ribkah (Rebecca) took the
choice clothes of her elder son Esav,
which were with her in the Beyth
(house), and put them on Ya’acob
(Jacob) her younger son.
16 And she put the skins of the kids
of the goats on his hands and on the
smooth part of his neck:
17 Then she gave the savoury food
and the lechem (bread), which she
had prepared, into the hand of her son
Ya’acob (Jacob).
18 So he went to his father and
said, My father; and he said, Here I
am; who are you, my son?
19 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said to his
father, I am Esav your bechor
(firstborn); I have done just as you told
me; please arise, sit and eat of my
game, that your soul may bless me.
20 And Yah’sac (Isaac) said to his
son, How is it that you have found it so
quickly, my son? And he said,
Because hwhy your Elohim brought it
to me.
21 Then Yah’sac (Isaac) said to
Ya’acob (Jacob), Please come near,
1 Jacob was not a deceiver; Christians have
been erring over this. The inheritance was his
right, and it was lawful for him to acquire it,
and to obey his mother’s voice.
2 Rebecca knew this because; YHWH had
already shown her this. The blessing belonged
to Jacob, and not Esav.
70
that I may feel you, my son, whether
you are really my son Esav or not.3
22 So Ya’acob (Jacob) went near to
Yah’sac (Isaac) his father, and he felt
him and said, The voice is Ya’acob’s
(Jacob) voice, but the hands are the
hands of Esav.
23 And he did not recognize him,
because his hands were hairy, like his
brother Esav's hands: so he blessed
him.
24 Then he said, Are you really my
son Esav? And he said, I am.
25 And he said, Bring it near to me,
and I will eat of my son's game, so that
my soul may bless you. So he brought
it near to him, and he ate; and he
brought him wine, and he drank.
26 Then his father Yah’sac (Isaac)
said to him, Come near now and kiss
me, my son.
27 And he came near and kissed
him: and he smelled the smell of his
clothing, and blessed him and said:
Surely, the smell of my son is like the
smell of a field hwhy has blessed:
28 Therefore may Elohim give you
of the dew of shamayim (heavens), of
the fatness of the earth, and plenty of
grain and wine:4
29 Let peoples serve you, and
nations bow down to you: be master
over your brethren, and let your
mother's sons bow down to you:
cursed be everyone who curses you,5
and blessed be those who bless you!
30 Then it happened, as soon as
Yah’sac (Isaac) had finished blessing
Ya’acob (Jacob), and Ya’acob (Jacob)
3 Isaac was partially blind at his old age.
4 Israel and YHWH’s people will never be
without food if they serve YHWH faithfully and
obey His Torah.
5 All those who curse Israel will be under a
curse, and those that bless her, will be under a
blessing.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
had scarcely gone out from the
presence of Yah’sac (Isaac) his father,
that Esav his brother came in from his
hunting.
31 He also had made savoury meat,
and brought it to his father, and said to
his father, Let my father arise and eat
of his son's game, that your soul may
bless me.
32 And his father Yah’sac (Isaac)
said to him, Who are you? And he
said, I am your son, your bechor
(firstborn) Esav.
33 Then Yah’sac (Isaac) trembled
exceedingly, and said, Who? Where is
the one who hunted game, and
brought it to me and I ate all of it
before you came, and I have blessed
him? And, indeed, he shall be blessed.
34 When Esav heard the words of
his father, he cried with an exceedingly
great and bitter cry, and said to his
father, Bless me, even me also, O my
father!
35 But he said, Your brother came
with craft1 and has taken away your
blessing.
36 And Esav said, Is he not rightly
named Ya’acob (Jacob)? For he has
supplanted me these two times: he
took away my birthright; and, now
look, he has taken away my blessing.2
And he said, Have you not reserved a
blessing for me?
37 Then Yah’sac (Isaac) answered
and said to Esav, Indeed I have made
him your master, and all his brethren I
have given to him as servants; with
grain and wine I have sustained him.
What shall I do now for you, my son?
1 Isaac did not know that Esav had sold his
birthright.
2 Esav is lying to get his way, since he had
already sold his birthright, which his abbah did
not know about. And in the womb, he tried to
kill his brother, so now he puts the blame on
him for saving his life.
71
38 And Esav said to his father,
Have you only one blessing, my
father? Bless me, even me also, O my
father! And Esav lifted up his voice
and wept.
39 Then Yah’sac (Isaac) his father
answered and said to him: Behold,
your dwelling shall be away from3 the
fatness of the earth, and of the dew of
shamayim (heavens) from above;
40 By your sword you shall live, and
you shall serve your brother; and it
shall come to pass when you become
restless, that you shall break his yoke
from your neck.
41 So Esav hated Ya’acob (Jacob)
because of the blessing with which his
father blessed him, and Esav said in
his heart, The days of mourning for my
father are at hand; then I will kill my
brother Ya’acob (Jacob).4
42 And the words of Esav her older
son were told to Ribkah (Rebecca). So
she sent and called Ya’acob (Jacob)
her younger son, and said to him,
Surely your brother Esav comforts
himself concerning you by intending to
kill you.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my
voice: arise, flee to my brother Laban
in Charan:
44 And stay with him a few days,
until your brother's fury turns away;
45 Until your brother's anger turns
away from you, and he forgets what
you have done to him; then I will send
and bring you from there: why should I
3 Dead Sea scrolls. There was no blessing for
Esav, as he deserved none by his actions,
which YHWH knew ahead of time. He was
going to mingle with the Arabs and try to kill
his Israelite brothers. Which we now find in
Islam, as the end times beast tries to destroy
Israel and kill the Christians.
4 Esav was the deceiver and had planned to kill
Jacob, though it did not work in the womb.
Obviously Satan was behind this.

Yah’sac (Isaac), I am disgusted in my
life because of the daughters of Heth:2
if Ya’acob (Jacob) takes a wife of the
daughters of Heth, like these who are
the daughters of the land, what good
will my life be to me?
Chapter 28
1 Then Yah’sac (Isaac) called
Ya’acob (Jacob) and blessed him, and
commanded him, and said to him: You
shall not take a wife from the
daughters of Canaan.3
2 Arise, go to Padan Aram,4 to the
Beyth (house) of Bethu’el your
mother's father; and take yourself a
wife from there of the daughters of
Laban your mother's brother.

Power) bless you, and make you
1 The Kuf letter in Hebrew is small here,
signifying the picture of a person turning away,
Rebecca was disappointed with Esav and his
wife so had turned away because of
discouragement of a disobedient son.
2 Esav had taken them as wives and Rebecca
was fed up with their idolatry to the false
elohim they worshipped and disgusted with
them. She did not want Jacob to repeat what
Esav had done as a disobedient son.
3 Isaac did not like what Esav had done, so he
commanded Jacob not to take wives from the
local women; but to go back to the country of
their ancestors. There is wisdom in this,
because the local women were idolatrous so
could not be faithful wives. We find this is why
the custom of arranged marriages works in the
East. Although, because of the idolatries of the
European nations, marriages are nothing more
than a joke on a piece of paper, lasting an
average of two years, if you are fortunate.

fruitful and multiply you, that you may
be an assembly of peoples;5
4 And give you the blessing of
descendants with you, that you may
inherit the land in which you are a
stranger, which Elohim gave to
Abraham.6
5 So Yah’sac (Isaac) sent Ya’acob
(Jacob) away: and he went to Padan
Aram,7 to Laban the son of Bethu’el
the Syrian, the brother of Ribkah
(Rebecca), the mother of Ya’acob
(Jacob) and Esav.
6 When Esav saw that Yah’sac
(Isaac) had blessed Ya’acob (Jacob)
and sent him away to Padan Aram to
take himself a wife from there; and that
as he blessed him he commanded
him, saying, You shall not take a wife
from the daughters of Canaan;
7 And that Ya’acob (Jacob) had
obeyed his father8 and his mother and
had gone to Padan Aram.
8 Also Esav saw that the daughters
of Canaan did not please9 his father
Yah’sac (Isaac).
9 So Esav went to Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el) and took Mahalath the

here the word Qahal is used in the Hebrew
tongue where we get our modern word church
from, this is a derived word but not in
Scripture. It actually goes back to the word
circus and that is what most churches are
these days, circuses and showmanship of men.
The only Church YHWH recognised is Israel,
any other entity is not His, and cannot replace
Israel.
6 The blessing of the land will follow the line of
Jacob’s children and not Ishma’el.

8 Jacob was faithful and the obedient son while
Esav was disobedient. Isaac had realised by
now that the blessing that he gave him was
correct so he blessed him again.

 Beresheeth (Genesis)
daughter of Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el),
Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth,
to be his wife in addition to the wives
he had;1

Beresheeth 28:10-32:3
Haftarah Hoshea (Hosea) 12:13-14:9
Brit Chadashah: John 1:19-51
10 Now Ya’acob (Jacob) went out
from Beersheba and went toward
Charan.
11 So he came to a certain place,2
and stayed there all night, because the
sun had set. And he took one of the
stones3 of that place and put it at his
head, and he lay down in that place to
sleep.
12 Then he dreamed, and behold a
ladder was set up on the earth, and its
top reached to the shamayim
(heavens): and there the angels of
Elohim were ascending and
descending on it.4
1 The Arabs and Egyptians became mixed and
are to this day.
2 Yud = 10
Ancient Rabbis recognise the Hebrew word
for place is Ha-Makom meaning, this is one of
the names of Elohim.
3 The stone in Hebrew is, Stones plural and the
word is Eben. The first character is Alef, which
is the left side of the tree, for the Father and
Strength, from our angle the right side of
YHWH is mercy. The word Alef is for the Father
who is the source of all things. The other word
separated in Eben, is Ben and so represents
the Son, the middle pillar, Yahushua. So in the
stones we have both, the Father, and the Son,
which Jacob understood fully.
4 Prophecies of Yahushua, the angels are
descriptions of saved people who ascend, and
then descend. These are blood washed, so the
remez (hint), shows people, not literal angels.
In ancient thought; the ladder is three vertical
pillars, we have the right side, the left side,
and the middle pillar, Yahushua. The ladder is
also known as a tree. The left side is the

13 And behold hwhy stood above it
and said: I am hwhy Elohim of
Abraham your father and the Elohim of
Yah’sac (Isaac): the land on which you
lie I will give to you and your
descendants;
14 Also your descendants shall be
as the dust of the earth; you shall
spread abroad to the west and the
east, to the north and the south: and in
you and in your seed all the
mishpachot (families) of the earth shall
be blessed.5
15 Behold, I am with you and will
keep you wherever you go, and will
bring you back to this land; for I will not
Father’s, strength, the right is, mercy, while the
middle pillar is Yahushua, who mediates
between the two, the only man who can
mediate. So Rabbi Paulos was hinting at this
ladder when he said one mediator Yahushua
(Timotheous Alef 2:5). In ancient thought the
Hebrew word Sulam, for ladder, and the word
Sinai, both have a value of 130. So the Temple
mount region below is connected to Mount
Sinai above harmonized by the middle pillar the
Son Yahushua.
The word Sinai:
Samech = 60
Nun = 50
Yud = 10
Total: 130
The word Sulam – Ladder
Samech = 60
Lamed = 30
Mem = 40
Total: 130. The other interpretation is that
Moses and Aaron are the angels ascending and
descending the ladder. Another variation is that
if you spell Sulam with the Vav, then you get
the value 136, which is the same as the word
for mammon. This means spending your life
gathering mammon and the way of YHWH are
not compatible.
5 Abraham’s promise repeated to Jacob, who
carried the line of blessing.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
leave you until I have done what I
have spoken to you.
16 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) awoke
from his sleep and said, Surely hwhy
is in this place, and I did not know it.
17 And he was afraid and said, How
awesome is this place! This is none
other than the Beyth (house) of
Elohim, and this is the gate of
shamayim (heavens)!1
18 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) rose early
in the morning, and took the stone that
he had put at his head, set it up as a
pillar, and poured oil on top of it.2
19 And he called the name of that
place Beyth’el: but the name of that
city had been Luz3 previously.
20 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) made a
vow, saying, If Elohim will be with me,
and keep me in this way that I am
going, and give me lechem (bread) to
eat and clothing to put on,
21 So that I come back to my
father's Beyth (house) in peace
(shalom); then hwhy shall be my
Elohim:
22 And this stone, which I have set
as a pillar ,shall be Elohim's Beyth
(house), and of all that You give me I
will surely give a tenth4 to You.
1 This is where he saw the Messiah as the
gate, the door of the shamayim (heavens).
2 He anointed the place where the Temple was
to be built.
3
Old name for Jerusalem.
4 Jacob vows to give his 10% tithe to YHWH
realizing where his blessings were coming
from. The tithe was setup long before the
Torah was given at Mount Sinai and is
mandatory today for all believers to be given to
Torah teachers. They are not to be wasted by
giving them to Pastors who teach Torah
disobedience in churches.

Chapter 29
1 So Ya’acob (Jacob) went on his
journey, and came to the land of the
people of the East.
2 And he looked, and saw a well in
the field; and, behold, there were three
flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of
that well they watered the flocks: and a
large stone was on the well's mouth.
3 Now all the flocks would be
gathered there: and they would roll the
stone from the well's mouth, water the
sheep, and put the stone back in its
place on the well's mouth.
4 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said to them,
My brethren, where are you from? And
they said, We are from Charan.
5 Then he said to them, Do you
know Laban the son of Nachor? And
they said, We know him.
6 So he said to them, Is he well?
And they said, He is well, and look, his
daughter Rach’el is coming with the
sheep.
7 Then he said, Look, it is still high
day; it is not time for the cattle to be
gathered together: water the sheep,
and go and feed them.
8 And they said, We cannot until all
the flocks are gathered together, and
they have rolled the stone from the
well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
9 Now while he was still speaking
with them, Rach’el came with her
father's sheep: for she was a
shepherdess.
10 And it came to pass, when
Ya’acob (Jacob) saw Rach’el the
daughter of Laban his mother's
brother, and the sheep of Laban his
mother's brother, then Ya’acob
(Jacob) went near, and rolled the
stone from the well's mouth, and
watered the flock of Laban his
mother's brother.
11 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) kissed
Rach’el, and lifted up his voice, and
wept.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
12 And Ya’acob (Jacob) told
Rach’el that he was her father's
relative, and that he was Ribkah
(Rebecca)'s son: so she ran and told
her father.
13 Then it came to pass, when
Laban heard the report about Ya’acob
(Jacob) his sister's son, that he ran to
meet him, and embraced him and
kissed him, and brought him to his
Beyth (house). So he told Laban all
these things.
14 And Laban said to him, Surely
you are my substance and my flesh.
And he stayed with him for a month.
15 Then Laban said to Ya’acob
(Jacob), Because you are my relative,
should you therefore serve me for
nothing? Tell me, what should your
wages be?
16 Now Laban had two daughters:
the name of the elder was Leah, and
the name of the younger was Rach’el.
17 Leah’s eyes were delicate; but
Rach’el was beautiful of form and
appearance.
18 Now Ya’acob (Jacob) loved
Rach’el; so he said, I will serve you
seven years for Rach’el your younger
daughter.
19 And Laban said, It is better that I
give her to you than that I should give
her to another man.1 Stay with me.
20 So Ya’acob (Jacob) served
seven years for Rach’el, and they
seemed but a few days to him
because of the love he had for her.
21 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) said to
Laban, Give me my wife, for my days
are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 And Laban gathered together all
the men of the place, and made a
feast.
1 This practice is still prevalent in the Islamic
culture taken from the Hebrew culture. Very
rarely Muslims marry their daughters outside
the family.
75
23 Now it came to pass in the
evening, that he took Leah his
daughter and brought her to Ya’acob
(Jacob); and he went in to her.2
24 And Laban gave his maid Zilpah,
to his daughter Leah as a maid.
25 So it came to pass, in the
morning, that behold, it was Leah: and
he said to Laban, What is this you
have done to me? Was it not for
Rach’el that I served you? Why then
have you deceived me?
26 And Laban said, It must not be
done so in our country, to give the
younger before the bechor3 (firstborn).
27 Fulfill her week, and we will give
you this one also for the service which
you will serve with me still another
seven years.
28 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) did so,
and fulfilled her week: so he gave him
his daughter Rach’el as wife also.4
29 And Laban gave his maid Bilhah
to his daughter Rach’el as a maid.
30 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) also went
in to Rach’el, and he also loved
Rach’el more than Leah. And he
2 The ancient custom was to veil the bride, and
for the bridegroom not to see her. The bride
goes into the bed chamber first, waiting; and
then the bridegroom. The whole night is spent
in darkness, this was the custom. And this is
the reason why Jacob did not know that it was
Leah and not Rachel until the morning.
3 Laban is telling a half truth, it is true that the
custom was, and still is, to marry the elder
first; but since he had promised the younger it
would be wrong for him to give the elder which
he did, so he was deceiving Jacob by the local
custom.
4 Polygamy was allowed and is still a valid form
of marriage; this is being restored in the last
days, known as Patriarchal marriage. Our
forefathers practiced it, some believers may
opt to choose this lifestyle, and it is not sin as
long as you sustain your wives as Torah
commands with separate homes!
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
served with Laban still another seven
years.
31 When hwhy saw that Leah was
unloved, He opened her womb: but
Rach’el was barren.
32 So Leah conceived and bore a
son, and she called his name Reuben;
for she said, hwhy has surely looked
on my affliction; now therefore my
husband will love me.
33 Then she conceived again, and
bore a son; and said, Because hwhy
has heard that I am unloved, He has
therefore given me this son also: and
she called his name Shim’on.
34 She conceived again, and bore a
son; and said, Now this time my
husband will become attached to me,
because I have borne him three sons:
therefore his name was called Lewi.
35 And she conceived again and
bore a son: and said, Now I will praise
hwhy: therefore she called his name
Yahudah (Judah); then she stopped
bearing.
Chapter 30
1 Now when Rach’el saw that she
bore Ya’acob (Jacob) no children,
Rach’el envied her sister, and said to
Ya’acob (Jacob), Give me children, or
else I die.
2 And Ya’acob (Jacob)'s anger was
aroused against Rach’el: and he said,
Am I in the place of Elohim; who has
withheld from you the fruit of the
womb?
3 So she said, Here is my maid
Bilhah,1 go in to her; and she will bear
a child on my knees, that I also may
have children by her.
4 Then she gave him Bilhah her
maid as wife: and Ya’acob (Jacob)
went in to her.
1 Bilhah became Jacob’s third wife; it is legal to
have a child by a handmaid, who became a
lesser wife according to Torah.
76
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore
Ya’acob (Jacob) a son.
6 Then Rach’el said, Elohim has
judged my case, and He has also
heard my voice, and given me a son:
therefore she called his name Dan.
7 And Rach’el's maid Bilhah
conceived again and bore Ya’acob
(Jacob) a second son.
8 Then Rach’el said, With great
struggle I have struggled with my
sister, and indeed I have prevailed: so
she called his name Naphtali.
9 When Leah saw that she had
stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her
maid and gave her to Ya’acob (Jacob)
as wife.2
10 And Leah's maid Zilpah bore
Ya’acob (Jacob) a son.
11 Then Leah said, A gawd comes:
so she called his name Gawd.3
12 And Leah's maid Zilpah bore
Ya’acob (Jacob) a second son.
13 Then Leah said, I am happy, for
the daughters will call me blessed. So
she called his name Asher.
14 Now Reuben went in the days of
wheat harvest and found mandrakes in
the field, and brought them to his
mother Leah. Then Rach’el said to
Leah, Please give me some of your
son's mandrakes.
15 But she said to her, Is it a small
matter that you have taken away my
husband? Would you take away my
son's mandrakes also? And Rach’el
said, Therefore he will lie with you
tonight for your son's mandrakes.
16 When Ya’acob (Jacob) came out
of the field in the evening, Leah went
out to meet him and said, You must

 Beresheeth (Genesis)
come in to me; for I have surely hired
you with my son's mandrakes. And he
lay with her that night.
17 And Elohim listened to Leah, and
she conceived and bore Ya’acob
(Jacob) a fifth son.
18 Leah said, Elohim has given me
my hire, because I have given my
maid to my husband: so she called his
name Yah’sachar (Issachar).
19 Then Leah conceived again and
bore Ya’acob (Jacob) a sixth son.
20 And Leah said, Elohim has
endowed me with a good endowment;
now my husband will dwell with me,
because I have borne him six sons. So
she called his name Zebulun.
21 Afterward she bore a daughter,
and called her name Dinah.
22 Then Elohim remembered
Rach’el, and Elohim listened to her
and opened her womb.
23 And she conceived and bore a
son, and said, Elohim has taken away
my reproach:
24 So she called his name Yosef,
and said, hwhy shall add to me
another son.
25 And it came to pass, when
Rach’el had borne Yosef, that
Ya’acob (Jacob) said to Laban, Send
me away, that I may go to my own
place, and to my country.
26 Give me my wives and my
children, for whom I have served you,
and let me go: for you know my
service which I have done for you.
27 And Laban said to him, Please,
stay: if I have found favour in your
eyes, for I have learned by experience
that hwhy has blessed me for your
sake.
28 Then he said, Name me your
wages, and I will give it.
29 So Ya’acob (Jacob) said to him,
You know how I have served you, and
how your livestock has been with me.
30 For what you had before I came
was little, and it is now increased to a
77
great amount; hwhy has blessed you
since my coming: and now when shall
I also provide for my own Beyth
(house)?
31 So he said, What shall I give
you? And Ya’acob (Jacob) said, You
shall not give me anything. If you will
do this thing for me, I will again feed
and keep your flocks:
32 Let me pass through all your
flock today, removing from there all the
speckled and spotted sheep, and all
the brown ones among the lambs, and
the spotted and speckled among the
goats: and these shall be my wages.
33 So my righteousness will answer
for me in time to come, when the
subject of my wages comes before
you: every one that is not speckled
and spotted among the goats, and
brown among the lambs, will be
considered stolen if it is with me.
34 And Laban said, Oh, that it were
according to your word.
35 So he removed that day the male
goats that were speckled and spotted,
all the female goats that were
speckled and spotted, every one that
had some white in it, and all the brown
ones among the lambs, and gave
them into the hand of his sons.
36 Then he put three days' journey
between himself and Ya’acob (Jacob):
and Ya’acob (Jacob) fed the rest of
Laban's flocks.
37 Now Ya’acob (Jacob) took for
himself rods of green poplar, and of
the almond and chestnut etzim (trees);
peeled white strips in them, and
exposed the white which was in the
rods.
38 And the rods which he had
peeled he set before the flocks in the
gutters, in the watering troughs where
the flocks came to drink, so that they
should conceive when they came to
drink.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
39 So the flocks conceived before
the rods, and the flocks brought forth
streaked, speckled, and spotted.1
40 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) separated
the lambs, and made the flocks face
toward the streaked, and all the brown
in the flock of Laban; but he put his
own flocks by themselves and did not
put them with Laban's flock.
41 And it came to pass, whenever
the stronger livestock conceived, that
Ya’acob (Jacob) placed the rods
before the eyes of the livestock in the
gutters, that they might conceive
among the rods.
42 But when the flocks were feeble,
he did not put them in; so the feebler
were Laban's, and the stronger
Ya’acob (Jacob)'s.
43 Thus the man became
exceedingly prosperous, and had large
flocks, female and male servants, and
camels, and donkeys.
Chapter 31
1 Now Ya’acob (Jacob) heard the
words of Laban's sons, saying,
Ya’acob (Jacob) has taken away all
that was our father's; and from what
was our father's he has acquired all
this wealth.
2 And Ya’acob (Jacob) saw the
countenance of Laban, and indeed, it
was not favourable toward him as
before.
3 Then hwhy said to Ya’acob
(Jacob), Return to the land of your
ahvot (fathers) and to your mishpacha
(family); and I will be with you.
4 So Ya’acob (Jacob) sent and
called Rach’el and Leah to the field to
his flock,
1 Even though Jacob did some clever
engineering, but the end result was by YHWH;
and Jacob recognized this and attributed it to
Elohim and not to his method.
78
5 and said to them, I see your
father's countenance which is not
favourable toward me as before; but
the Elohim of my father has been with
me.
6 And you know that with all my
might I have served your father.
7 Yet your father has deceived me
and changed my wages ten times; but
Elohim did not allow him to hurt me.
8 If he said thus: The speckled shall
be your wages, then all the flocks bore
speckled. And if he said thus: The
streaked shall be your wages; then all
the flocks bore streaked.
9 So Elohim has taken away the
livestock of your father and given them
to me.
10 And it happened at the time
when the flocks conceived, that I lifted
my eyes, and saw in a dream, and,
behold, the rams which leaped upon
the flocks were streaked, speckled,
and gray-spotted.
11 Then the Malakh Elohim (Angel
of YHWH) spoke to me in a dream,
saying, Ya’acob (Jacob): and I said,
Here I am.
12 And He said, Lift your eyes now
and see, all the rams which leap on
the flocks are streaked, speckled, and
gray-spotted: for I have seen all that
Laban is doing to you.
13 I am the El (Power) of Beyth’el,
where you anointed the pillar and
where you made a vow to Me: now
arise, get out of this land, and return to
the land of your mishpacha (family).
14 Then Rach’el and Leah
answered and said to him, Is there still
any portion, or inheritance for us in our
father's Beyth (house)?
15 Are we not considered strangers
by him? For he has sold us, and also
completely consumed our money.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
16 For all these riches1
which hwhy
has taken from our father, are really
ours, and our children's: now then,
whatever Elohim has said to you, do it.
17 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) rose and
set his sons and his wives on camels.
18 And he carried away all his
livestock and all his possessions which
he had gained, his acquired livestock,
which he had gained in Padan Aram,
to go to his father Yah’sac (Isaac) in
the land of Canaan.
19 Now Laban had gone to shear
his sheep, and Rach’el had stolen the
household idols 2 that were her
father's.
20 And Ya’acob (Jacob) stole away
unknown to Laban the Aramee,3 in
that he did not tell him that he intended
to flee.
21 So he fled with all that he had;
and he arose, and crossed the river,
and headed toward the mountains of
Gilead.
22 And Laban was told on the third
day that Ya’acob (Jacob) had fled.
23 Then he took his brethren with
him, and pursued him for seven days'
journey; and he overtook him in the
mountains of Gilead.
24 But Elohim had come to Laban
the Aramee in a dream by night, and
said to him, Be careful that you speak
to Ya’acob (Jacob) neither good nor
bad.
25 So Laban overtook Ya’acob
(Jacob). Now Ya’acob (Jacob) had
pitched his tent in the mountains: and
Laban with his brethren pitched in the
mountains of Gilead.

26 And Laban said to Ya’acob
(Jacob), What have you done, that you
have stolen away unknown to me, and
carried away my daughters like
captives taken with the sword?
27 Why did you flee away secretly,
and steal away from me, and not tell
me; for I might have sent you away
with joy and songs, with timbrel and
harp?
28 And you did not allow me to kiss
my sons and my daughters? Now you
have done foolishly in so doing.
29 It is in my power to do you harm,
but the Elohim of your father spoke to
me last night, saying, guard your word
with which you speak to Ya’acob
(Jacob) neither good, nor bad.
30 And now you have surely gone
because you greatly long for your
father's house, but why did you steal
my elohim (mighty ones)?4
31 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) answered
and said to Laban, Because I was
afraid, for I said, Perhaps you would
take your daughters from me by force.
32 With whomever you find your
elohim, do not let him live: In the
presence of our brethren identify what
I have of yours, and take it with you.
For Ya’acob (Jacob) did not know that
Rach’el5 had stolen them.
33 And Laban went into Ya’acob
(Jacob)'s tent, into Leah's tent, and
into the two maids' tents, but he did

not find them.1 Then he went out of
Leah's tent and entered Rach’el's tent.
34 Now Rach’el had taken the
household idols, put them in the
camel's saddle, and sat on them. And
Laban searched all about the tent but
did not find them.
35 And she said to her father, Let it
not displease my master that I cannot
rise before you, for the manner of
women2 is with me. And he searched
but did not find the household idols.
36 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) was angry
and rebuked Laban: and Ya’acob
(Jacob) answered and said to Laban,
What is my trespass? What is my sin,
that you have so hotly pursued me?
37 Although you have searched all
my things, what part of your household
1 Note this is a clear reference to Jacob
housing his wives in separate tents. This is a
mistake many people make in patriarchal
marriage today, trying to make their wives
cohabit the same house; but scripture is quite
clear that each wife much have her own house,
as seen here. Also by the example of our father
Abraham in Genesis chapter 12:8: anyone who
chooses the patriarchal lifestyle, as did our
forefathers, must be able to afford his wives in
separate homes, else they should not pursue
this lifestyle. Muslims in Saudi Arabia who have
adopted this lifestyle have taken it from the
Hebrews. The Qur’an (Sura 4:24), their
scripture, tells them to take up to four wives
(they can take more in the shape of
concubines). This is taken from the model of
Jacob; but each wife taken by the Muslims is
always kept in separate homes. Even they have
this understanding. The Muslims are
propagating their seed faster than the
traditional Hebrew people, because of man
made doctrines that have enveloped the church
and state, which many Hebrews are stuck in.
The end time Islamic beast’s onslaught is going
to be very sharp, and ruthless, if people do not
wake up soon.

drought consumed me, and the frost
by night, and my sleep departed from
my eyes.
41 Thus I have been in your house
twenty years; I served you fourteen
years for your two daughters, and six
years for your flock, and you have
changed my wages ten times.3
42 Unless the Elohim of my father,
the Elohim of Abraham and the Fear of
Yah’sac (Isaac), had been with me,
surely now you would have sent me
away empty-handed. Elohim has seen
my affliction and the labour of my
hands, and rebuked you last night.
43 And Laban answered and said to
Ya’acob (Jacob), These daughters are
my daughters, and these children are
my children, and this flock is my flock,
all that you see is mine:4 but what can
I do this day to these my daughters, or
to their children whom they have given
birth?
3 Working with idolaters is not easy, as they
are not righteous and may keep changing as
they live by the standards of this world.
4 Laban speaks half truth; the daughters were
no longer his after he married them off. The
only thing that was his was his relationship to
them; the flocks belonged to Jacob and not to
Laban.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
44 Now therefore come, let us make
a covenant, you and I; and let it be a
witness between you and me.
45 So Ya’acob (Jacob) took a stone,
and set it up as a pillar.
46 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) said to his
brethren, Gather stones; and they took
stones and made a heap, and they ate
there on the heap.
47 Laban called it yegar
Sahadutha:1 but Ya’acob (Jacob)
called it Galeed.
48 And Laban said, This heap is a
witness between you and me this day.
Therefore its name was called
Galeed,2
49 Also Mizpah; because he said,
May hwhy watch between you, and
me when we are absent one from
another.
50 If you afflict my daughters, or if
you take other wives besides my
daughters, although no man is with us
see, Elohim is witness between you
and me.3
51 Then Laban said to Ya’acob
(Jacob), Here is this heap and here is
this pillar, which I have placed
between you; and me.
52 This heap is a witness, and this
pillar is a witness, that I will not pass
beyond this heap to you, and you will
not pass beyond this heap and this
pillar to me, for harm.

3 Laban was putting Jacob under a false oath,
as he could have taken more wives if he
wanted; it was perfectly legal in Torah to do
that. The world will always impose its own
standards upon you to bring you into bondage.
Note, in his witness Jacob does not say he will
not take more wives; but he honours his words
nevertheless to his death.
81
53 The Elohim of Abraham, the
Elohim of Nachor,4 and the Elohim of
their father judge between us. And
Ya’acob (Jacob) swore by the Fear of
his father Yah’sac (Isaac).
54 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) offered a
sacrifice on the mountain, and called
his brethren to eat lechem (bread):
and they ate lechem (bread) and
stayed all night on the mountain.
55 And early in the morning Laban
arose, and kissed his sons and
daughters, and blessed them: then
Laban departed, and returned to his
place.
Chapter 32
1 So Ya’acob (Jacob) went on his
way, and the angels of Elohim met
him.
2 When Ya’acob (Jacob) saw them,
he said, This is Elohim's camp: and he
called the name of that place
Mahanaim.

3 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) sent
messengers before him to Esav his
brother in the land of Seir, the country
of Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying,
Speak thus to my master Esav; Thus
your servant Ya’acob (Jacob) says: I
have dwelt with Laban, and stayed
there until now:
4 The god of Nachor is the false term the West
has adopted for our Saviour, the title ‘God’ is
abhorrent, and should not be used. This is not
only a title; but a name that was used by
Nachor, and his father Terach, to worship. This
was also used by their descendants; this is why
Laban calls upon this name.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
5 I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and
male and female servants; and I have
sent to tell my master, that I may find
favour in your sight.
6 Then the messengers returned to
Ya’acob (Jacob), saying, We came to
your brother Esav, and he also is
coming to meet you, and four hundred
men are with him.1
7 So Ya’acob (Jacob) was greatly
afraid and distressed; and he divided
the people that were with him, and the
flocks and herds and camels, into two
companies.
8 And he said, If Esav comes to the
one company and attacks it, then the
other company which is left will
escape.
9 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) said, O
Elohim of my father Abraham, and
Elohim of my father Yah’sac (Isaac),
hwhy who said to me, Return to your
country, and to your mishpacha
(family), and I will deal well with you:
10 I am not worthy of the least of all
the mercies, and of all the truth, which
You have shown Your servant; for I
crossed over this Yardan (Jordan) with
my staff; and now I have become two
camps of people.
11 Deliver me, I pray, from the hand
of my brother, from the hand of Esav:
for I fear him, lest he come and attack
me, and the mother with the children.
12 For You said, I will surely treat
you well, and make your descendants
as the sand of the sea, which cannot
be numbered for multitude.
13 So he lodged there that same
night, and took what came to his hand
as a present for Esav his brother:
14 two hundred female goats and
twenty male goats, two hundred ewes,
and twenty rams,
1 Esav was fully intent on killing Jacob; but
YHWH made Esav to change his mind along
the route.
82
15 thirty milk camels with their colts,
forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty
female donkeys, and ten foals.
16 Then he delivered them to the
hand of his servants, every drove by
itself; and said to his servants, Pass
over before me, and put some
distance between successive droves.
17 And he commanded the first one,
saying, When Esav my brother meets
you, and ask you, saying, To whom do
you belong? And where are you
going? Whose are these in front of
you?
18 Then you shall say, They are
your servant Ya’acob (Jacob)'s; it is a
present sent to my master Esav: and
behold, he also is behind us.
19 So he commanded the second,
the third, and all who followed the
droves, saying, In this manner you
shall speak to Esav, when you find
him;
20 and also say, Behold, your
servant Ya’acob (Jacob) is behind us.
For he said, I will appease him with the
present that goes before me, and
afterward I will see his face; perhaps
he will accept me.2
21 So the present went on over
before him, but he himself lodged that
night in the camp.
22 And he arose that night and took
his two wives, his two female servants,
and his eleven sons, and crossed over
the ford of Yabbok.
23 He took them, sent them over
the brook, and sent over what he had.
24 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) was left
alone; and a Man wrestled with him
until the breaking of day.
2 Esav is fully aligned with the End-Times
Islamic beast thus he had married Ishma’el’s
daughters, and the seed thereof wants to
destroy Israel. But, YHWH will prevail to
support Israel in the final victory.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
25 Now when He saw that He did
not prevail against him, He touched
the socket of his hip; and the socket of
Ya’acob (Jacob)'s hip was out of joint,
as He wrestled with him.
26 And He said, Let Me go, for the
day breaks. But he said, I will not let
You go, unless You bless me.
27 So He said to him, What is your
name?1 And he said, Ya’acob (Jacob).
28 And He said, Your name shall no
longer be called Ya’acob (Jacob), but
Yah’sar’el (Israel):2 for you have
struggled with Elohim and with men,
and have prevailed.
29 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) asked
Him, saying, Tell me Your name, I
pray. And He said, Why is it that you
ask about My name? And He blessed
him there.
30 And Ya’acob (Jacob) called the
name of the place Peni’el: For I have
seen Elohim face to face, and my life
is preserved.3
31 Just as he crossed over Peni’el
the sun rose on him, and he limped on
his hip.
32 Therefore to this day the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) do not eat the
muscle that shrank, which is on the hip
socket, because He touched the
socket of Ya’acob (Jacob)'s hip in the
muscle that shrank.4
1 The preposition is not just ‘what is your
name’, but what is your nature and fame and
why do you want a blessing? The Angel of
YHWH was testing him because He was about
to change Jacob’s destiny forever.
2 but later changed his mind because YHWH had
The Mighty Yah, the Prince, who reigns over.
3 The fight was with the person of Yahushua.
4 According to tradition Jacob’s right hip was
touched, the area of Hod which specifies
blessings, praise, honour and majesty. After
this event his name was changed to Yah’sar’el,
the people YHWH chose to bless and to honour
with salvation and an eternal kingdom. If you

Chapter 33
1 Now Ya’acob (Jacob) lifted his
eyes, and looked, and, there, Esav
was coming, and with him were four
hundred men. So he divided the
children among Leah, Rach’el, and the
two maidservants.
2 And he put the maidservants and
their children in front, Leah and her
children behind, and Rach’el and
Yosef last.
3 Then he crossed over before
them, and bowed himself to the
ground seven times, until he came
near to his brother.
5
4 But Esav ran to meet him, and
embraced him, and fell on his neck
and kissed him: and they wept.
5 And he lifted his eyes, and saw
the women and children; and said,
Who are these with you? And he said,
The children whom Elohim has
graciously given your servant.
6 Then the maidservants came
near, they and their children, and
bowed down.6
7 And Leah also came near with her
children, and they bowed down:
afterward Yosef and Rach’el came
near, and they bowed down.
8 Then Esav said, What do you
mean by all this company which I met?
are not in spiritual Israel then you are out of
the kingdom.
5 Esav had the full intention to kill his brother;
sent legions of angels to show Esav that Jacob
was not alone, and that these are His armies.
Esav was really afraid, and then changed his
mind, so the jots represent family reunion.
6 Bowing down was not an act of worship; but
an act of respect before elders, and officials.
The Chinese and Japanese cultures still carry
this form of greeting.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
And he said, These are to find favour
in the sight of my master.
9 But Esav said, I have enough, my
brother; keep what you have for
yourself.
10 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said, No,
please, if I have now found favour in
your sight, then receive my present
from my hand: now that I have seen
your face, as though I had seen the
face of Elohim, and you were pleased
with me.
11 Please, take my blessing that is
brought to you; because Elohim has
dealt graciously with me, and because
I have enough. And he urged him, and
he took it.
12 Then Esav said, Let us take our
journey, let us go, and I will go before
you.
13 But Ya’acob (Jacob) said to him,
My master knows that the children are
weak, and the flocks and herds which
are nursing are with me: and if the
men should drive them hard one day,
all the flock will die.
14 Please let my master go on
ahead before his servant. I will lead on
slowly, at a pace which the livestock
that go before me, and the children,
are able to endure, until I come to my
master in Seir.
15 And Esav said, Now let me leave
with you some of the people who are
with me. But he said, What need is
there? Let me find favour in the sight
of my master.
16 So Esav returned that day on his
way to Seir.
17 And Ya’acob (Jacob) journeyed
to Succoth, built himself a Beyth
(house), and made booths for his
livestock. Therefore the name of the
place is called Succoth.
18 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) came
safely to the city of Shechem, which is
in the land of Canaan, when he came
84
from Padan Aram;1 and he pitched his
tent before the city.
19 And he bought the parcel of land,
where he had pitched his tent, from
the children of Chamor, Shechem's
father, for one hundred pieces of
money.
20 Then he erected an altar there
and called it El Elohe Yah’sar’el
(Israel).2
Chapter 34
1 Now Dinah the daughter of Leah,
whom she had borne to Ya’acob
(Jacob), went out to see the daughters
of the land.
2 And when Shechem the son of
Chamor the Hivite, prince of the land,3
saw her, he seized her and lay with
her, and ravished her.4
3 His soul was strongly attracted to
Dinah the daughter of Ya’acob
(Jacob), and he loved the young
woman and spoke romantically to the
young woman.
4 So Shechem spoke to his father
Chamor, saying, Get me this young
woman as a wife.
5 And Ya’acob (Jacob) heard that
he had defiled Dinah his daughter.
Now his sons were with his livestock in
the field; so Ya’acob (Jacob) held his
shalom (peace)5 until they came.

4 The daughter that was born by this event in
this act of fornication was said to be Asenath,
who was brought up by Potipherah's wife, as
her daughter, and afterwards married Yosef.

41:45.
5 It takes great courage to keep peace in such
a situation when your daughter has been
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
6 Then Chamor the father of
Shechem went out to Ya’acob (Jacob)
to speak with him.
7 And the sons of Ya’acob (Jacob)
came in from the field when they heard
it; and the men were grieved and very
angry, because he had done a
disgraceful thing in Yah’sar’el (Israel)
by lying with Ya’acob (Jacob)'s
daughter, a thing which ought not to
be done.
8 But Chamor spoke with them,
saying, The soul of my son Shechem
longs for your daughter: Please give
her to him as a wife.
9 And make marriages with us, give
your daughters to us, and take our
daughters to yourselves.
10 So you shall dwell with us: and
the land shall be before you; dwell and
trade in it, and acquire possessions for
yourselves in it.
11 Then Shechem said to her father
and her brothers, Let me find favour in
your eyes, and whatever you say to
me I will give.
12 Ask me whatever dowry and gift,
and I will give according to what you
say to me: but give me the young
woman as a wife.
13 But the sons of Ya’acob (Jacob)
answered Shechem and Chamor his
father, and spoke cunningly, because
he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14 And they said to them, We
cannot do this thing, to give our sister
to one who is uncircumcised; for that
would be shameful to us:
15 But on this condition we will
consent to you: If you will become as
we are, if every male of you is
circumcised;
16 Then we will give our daughters
to you, and we will take your
raped, and Jacob showed his courage, and
patience, and what type of man he was.
85
daughters to us, and we will dwell with
you, and we will become one people.
17 But if you will not heed us, and
be circumcised; then we will take our
daughter, and be gone.
18 And their words pleased
Chamor, and Shechem, Chamor's
son.
19 So the young man did not delay
to do the thing, because he delighted
in Ya’acob (Jacob)'s daughter: he was
more honorable than all the household
of his father.1
20 And Chamor and Shechem his
son came to the gate of their city, and
spoke with the men of their city,
saying:
21 These men are at shalom
(peace) with us. Therefore let them
dwell in the land and trade in it; for
indeed, the land is large enough for
them; let us take their daughters to us
as wives, and let us give them our
daughters.
22 Only on this condition will the
men consent to dwell with us, to be
one people: if every male among us is
circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Will not their livestock, their
property, and every animal of theirs be
ours?2 Only let us consent to them,
and they will dwell with us.
24 And all who went out of the gate
of his city heeded Chamor and
Shechem his son; every male was
circumcised, all who went out of the
gate of his city.
1 The daughter that was born by this event, in
this act of fornication, was said to be Asenath,
who was brought up by Potipherah's wife, as
her daughter, and afterwards married Yosef.
This is referenced in Beresheeth (Genesis)
41:45.
2 As can be seen, their conversion was purely
for acquiring the wealth Jacob had built up, so
it would have been a false conversion anyhow.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
25 Now it came to pass on the third
day, when they were in pain,1 that two
of the sons of Ya’acob (Jacob),
Shim’on and Lewi, Dinah's brothers,
each took his sword and came boldly
upon the city and killed all the males.
26 And they killed Chamor and
Shechem his son with the edge of the
sword, and took Dinah from
Shechem's Beyth (house), and went
out.2
1The day when the wound of circumcision is
most painful-Targum of Onkelos.
2 What was done here was perfectly legitimate,
considering Dinah was kept against her will
after being raped. She was kept in Shechem’s
house while they were negotiating to marry
her, and she had no choice but to return home
only after the event. While YHWH made the
point clear that we do not marry non-Israelite
nations, such as the seven mentioned in Deut
7:1, out of which, one was these, the Hivites.
What people forget is how humiliating it is in
the East for your sister to be raped, and then
kept against her will. If such a thing happened
today in the East, then likely the girl’s family
would go out to kill the entire boy’s family, to
take revenge and there would be no
negotiation at all.
So the actions that the brothers took were
perfectly justified, and the situation called for
wisdom, which these boys exercised. And we
find no rebuke from YHWH, showing us that He
did not see this as a violation of His law; but
justice. Which is the highest calling for us, even
in the most extreme circumstances, and even if
it does not make sense to us.
YHWH’s law was broken and something had to
be done to repair it. Although Shechem wanted
to marry Dina, the problem was, YHWH did not
want Israel to make covenant with the heathen
nations, who would defile His laws further; and
as can be seen they were only trying to convert
to gain the wealth Jacob had so they could add
two more stars to their own shoulders.
Interestingly Shechem means ‘shoulder.’ This
conversion was not a heartfelt conversion. He
had broken His law to commit rape in the first
place. When someone’s daughter is raped in
86
27 The sons of Ya’acob (Jacob)
came upon the slain, and plundered
the city, because their sister had been
defiled.
28 They took their sheep, their
oxen, and their donkeys, what was in
the city and what was in the field,
29 And all their wealth. All their little
ones and their wives they took captive;
and they plundered even all that was
in the houses.
the East, it brings disgrace to the whole family,
and usually the girl will kill herself because of
the shame she feels.
She would feel violated because women kept
themselves for their husband and did not
consider intercourse before marriage as
something normal. As many women in the
depraved European societies do; because it
was, and is, fornication and sin.
On top of that Shechem’s family was using her
as a bargaining chip; because she was held
against her will, so this was a match that was
never going to be made. In such a case the
whole family of Jacob would be under extreme
pressure, not knowing what was happening to
their daughter, and from their own folks, who
would demand answers to the dilemma, and
action to be taken immediately, to remedy the
shame in the clan.
If such as this had happened in an Islamic
culture, they would have killed first and asked
questions later. So at least we can see some
honour in how the whole situation was dealt
with by the brothers. The outcome would have
been different had they released Dinah, and
not made her a bargaining chip. The injunction
in Deut 22:29 does not apply here, as these
nations were strictly forbidden to be mingled
with.
In such a rape situation; because of the guilt
and dishonour brought to the victim’s family,
they would have to leave town. We find this
also in the case of Jacob, where he was
ordered by YHWH to leave town, because after
the boys dealt honourably, the matter, as far
as YHWH was concerned was closed, and no
guilt was conferred upon them.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
30 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) said to
Shim’on and Lewi, You have troubled
me by making me loathsome among
the inhabitants of the land, among the
Canaanites and the Perizzites: and
since I am few in number, they will
gather themselves together against
me and kill me. I shall be destroyed,
my household and I.1
31 But they said, Should he treat
our sister like a harlot?
Chapter 35
1 Then Elohim said to Ya’acob
(Jacob), Arise, go up to Beyth’el and
dwell there: and make an altar there to
El (The Power), who appeared to you
when you fled from the face of Esav2
your brother.
2 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said to his
household and to all who were with
him, Put away the foreign elohim3 that
are among you, purify yourselves, and
change your garments:
3 Then let us arise and go up to
Beyth’el; and I will make an altar there
to El (The Power), who answered me
in the day of my distress and has been
with me in the WAY4 which I have
gone.
1 Jacob had forgotten that the covenant was in
place to protect him and his household; but felt
fearful out of human emotion, forgetting YHWH
for a moment.
2We see no rebuke from YHWH showing us
wisdom needs to be exercised in all matters
and we are not to give over to the enemy just
because they take our sister and hold her
against her will.
3Jacob connects his family’s issues and trials,
with perhaps, someone holding onto false
deities in the family, he was right, because
Rach’el was still carrying ‘god’, the deity of
Assyria, so he says to put away all false elohim.
4 Note ‘THE WAY’, this is Torah instructions
that Yahushua said also ‘I am the WAY’ in John
14:6.
87
4 So they gave Ya’acob (Jacob) all
the foreign elohim which were in their
hands, and all their earrings which
were in their ears; and Ya’acob
(Jacob) hid them under the terebinth
tree which was by Shechem.5
5 And they journeyed: and the terror
of Elohim was upon the cities that
were all around them, and they did not
pursue the sons of Ya’acob (Jacob).6
6 So Ya’acob (Jacob) came to Luz7
(that is, Beyth’el), which is in the land
of Canaan, he and all the people who
were with him.
7 And he built an altar there and
called the place El Beyth’el:8 because
there Elohim appeared to him, when
he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Now Debar’yah Ribkah
(Rebecca)'s nurse died, and she was
buried below Beyth’el under the
terebinth tree: so the name of it was
called Allon Bachuth.9
9 Then Elohim appeared to Ya’acob
(Jacob) again, when he came from
Padan Aram, and blessed him.
10 And Elohim said to him, Your
name is Ya’acob (Jacob): your name
shall not be called Ya’acob (Jacob)
anymore, but Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall

was the common custom as the moon deity

was also that they had these things around

because their actions were justified!

be your name: so He called his name
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
11 Also Elohim said to him, I am El-
Shaddai:1 be fruitful and multiply;2 a
nation; and a company of nations;3
shall proceed from you, and kings
shall come from your body;
12 The land which I gave Abraham
and Yah’sac (Isaac), I give to you, and
to your descendants after you I give
this land.
13 Then Elohim went up from him in
the place where He talked with him.
14 So Ya’acob (Jacob) set up a
pillar in the place where He talked with
him, a pillar of stone: and he poured a
drink offering on it, and he poured oil
on it.4
15 And Ya’acob (Jacob) called the
name of the place where Elohim spoke
with him, Beyth’el.5
16 Then they journeyed from
Beyth’el: and when there was but a
little distance to go to Ephrath,6
1 In Biblical Hebrew El-Shaddai means the
Powerful breast that feeds and nourishes.
Elohim has qualities of both the Father and the
mother ref: Yashayahu (Isaiah 60:16).
2 YHWH here nullifies the oath that Jacob
made with Laban Gen 32:50, the one not to
take on more wives, by instructing Jacob go
beget more children if need be; but we can see
this was fulfilled in Jacob’s children.

nations. Here we see the first clear prophecy of
the Two Houses of Israel, Beyth (house)
Yahudah and Beyth (house) Israel. The Ten
tribes of Israel were to become many gentile
(heathen) nations as they did later in history.
4 Jacob anointed a stone altar with oil and wine
to praise YHWH’s appearing; but did not
believe that the stone was YHWH. While many
people today worship and anoint stones and
give them the quality and attributes of Elohim.
5 Jacob anoints the place where YHWH will
build His house.

Rach’el labored in childbirth, and she
had hard labour.
17 Now it came to pass, when she
was in hard labour, that the midwife
said to her, Do not fear; you will have
this son also.
18 And so it was, as her soul was
departing (for she died), that she
called his name Ben-Oni:7 but his
father called him Benyamin
(Benjamin).8
19 So Rach’el died and was buried
on the way to Ephrath (that is, Beth-
lechem).
20 And Ya’acob (Jacob) set a pillar
on her grave: which is the pillar of
Rach’el's grave to this day.
21 Then Yah’sar’el (Israel)
journeyed and pitched his tent beyond
the tower of Eder.
22 And it happened, when
Yah’sar’el (Israel) dwelt in that land,
that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah
his father's concubine:9 and Yah’sar’el
7Son of my strength in that her entire strength
was spent having the child.
8Son of my right or son of the south as Jacob
was travelling down south.
9 This was sin that Reuben committed by
sleeping with his father’s wife, who was
Reuben’s step mum, so Reuben lost his
firstborn inheritance rights. This grievous sin
also happened in the Renewed assembly, First
Corinthians 5:1, when some men were sleeping
with their step-mother, as the custom of plural
marriages existed in the early assemblies too.
Until Rome removed it by force, and hated it;
because they regarded it as Jewish. All those
who hate this provision in YHWH’s law hate
YHWH by definition and side with Rome. This
is how Justin Martyr thought; he was a Greek
believer, and a Platonist thinker. (Justin Martyr
c.160). Your imprudent and blind masters
[Jewish Rabbis of Renewed Covenant
assemblies] even, until this time, permit each
man to have four or five wives. And if anyone
sees a beautiful woman and desires to have
her, they quote the doings of Jacob (Justin
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
(Israel) heard about it. Now the sons of
Ya’acob (Jacob) were twelve:
23 the sons of Leah were Reuben,
Ya’acob (Jacob)'s bechor (firstborn),
and Shim’on, Lewi, Yahudah (Judah),
Yah’sachar (Issachar), and Zebulun:
24 The sons of Rach’el were; Yosef,
and Benyamin (Benjamin):
25 The sons of Bilhah, Rach’el's
maidservant were; Dan, and Naphtali:
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's
maidservant were; Gawd, and Asher:
these were the sons of Ya’acob
(Jacob), who were born to him in
Padan Aram.
27 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) came to
his father Yah’sac (Isaac) at Mamre, or
Kiryath Arba that is Hebron, where
Abraham and Yah’sac (Isaac) had
dwelt.
28 Now the days of Yah’sac (Isaac)
were one hundred and eighty years.
29 So Yah’sac (Isaac) breathed his
last and died, and was gathered to his
people, being old and full of days; and
his sons Esav and Ya’acob (Jacob)
buried him.
Chapter 36
1 Now this is the genealogy of Esav,
who is Edom.
2 Esav took his wives from the
daughters of Canaan; Adah the
daughter of Elon the Hittite,1
Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the
daughter of Zibon the Hivite.
3 and Basemath Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el)'s daughter, sister of
Nebayoth.
Martyr c.160, Dialogue with Trypho, Chapter
134).
1 YHWH had forbidden Israel to marry these
Hittites; but Esav was a disobedient son.
89
4 Now Adah bore Eliphaz to Esav;
and Basemath bore Reu’el;2
5 And Aholibamah bore Yeush,
Yaalam, and Korah: these were the
sons of Esav, who were born to him in
the land of Canaan.
6 Then Esav took his wives, his
sons, his daughters, and all the
persons of his household, his cattle
and all his animals, and all his goods
which he had gained in the land of
Canaan; and went to a country away
from the presence of his brother
Ya’acob (Jacob).
7 For their possessions were too
great for them to dwell together; and
the land where they were strangers
could not support them because of
their livestock.
8 So Esav dwelt in Mount Seir: Esav
is Edom.
9 And this is the genealogy of Esav
the father of the Edomites in Mount
Seir:
10 These were the names of Esav's
sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife
of Esav, and Reu’el the son of
Basemath the wife of Esav.
11 And the sons of Eliphaz were
Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and
Kenaz.
12 Now Timna was the concubine of
Eliphaz Esav's son; and she bore
Amalek to Eliphaz: these were the
sons of Adah Esav's wife.
13 And these were the sons of
Reu’el; Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and
Mizzah: these were the sons of
Basemath Esav's wife.
14 These were the sons of
Aholibamah, Esav's wife, the daughter
of Anah, the daughter of Zibon. And
she bore to Esav: Yeush, Yaalam, and
Korah.
2 This was to be Moses’ father in law Jethro.
Therefore Jethro was an Ishmaelite and of
Jordanian bloodline.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
15 And these were the chiefs of the
sons of Esav: the sons of Eliphaz the
bechor (firstborn) son of Esav; were
chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho,
chief Kenaz,
16 Chief Korah, chief Gatam, and
chief Amalek: these were the chiefs of
Eliphaz in the land of Edom; they were
the sons of Adah.
17 And these are the sons of Reu’el
Esav's son; chief Nahath, chief Zerah,
chief Shammah, and chief Mizzah.
These were the chiefs of Reu’el in the
land of Edom: these were the sons of
Basemath, Esav's wife.
18 And these are the sons of
Aholibamah Esav's wife; chief Yeush,
chief Yaalam, and chief Korah: these
were the chiefs who descended from
Aholibamah Esav's wife, the daughter
of Anah.
19 These were the sons of Esav,
who is Edom, and these were their
chiefs.
20 These are the sons of Seir the
Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan,
Shobal, Zibon, Anah,
21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan: these
are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons
of Seir in the land of Edom.
22 And the sons of Lotan were Hori
and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was
Timna.
23 And the sons of Shobal were
these; Alwan, Manahath, Ebal,
Shepho, and Onam
24 And these are the sons of Zibon;
both Ayah, and Anah: this was that
Anah that found the mayim (waters) in
the wilderness, as he pastured the
donkeys1 of his father Zibon.
1 The crossbreed called mules, were
discovered here, with the donkeys in the
wilderness. The stallion donkeys of his father,
coupled with mare horses, and produced
another sort of creature called, mules, which
are hybrid animals and do not conceive as they
are sterile. This is the combined strength of the

25 And the children of Anah were
these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the
daughter of Anah.
26 And these are the sons of
Dishon; Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and
Keran.
27 The sons of Ezer are these:
Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.
28 The sons of Dishan are these:
Uz, and Aran.
29 These were the chiefs of the
Horites; chief Lotan, chief Shobal,
chief Zibon, chief Anah,
30 Chief Dishon, chief Ezer, and
chief Dishan: these are the chiefs that
came from the Horites, according to
their chiefs in the land of Seir.
31 And these are the kings who
reigned in the land of Edom, before
any king reigned over the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
32 And Bela the son of Beor reigned
in Edom: and the name of his city was
Dinhavah.
33 And when Bela died, Yobab the
son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his
place.
34 When Yobab died, Husham of
the land of the Temanites reigned in
his place.
35 And when Husham died, Hadad
the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian
in the field of Moab, reigned in his
place: and the name of his city was
Avith.
36 When Hadad died, Samlah of
Masrekah reigned in his place.
37 And when Samlah died, Saul of
Rehoboth-by-the-River reigned in his
place.
38 When Saul died, Baal-Hanan the
son of Achbor reigned in his place.
39 And when Baal-Hanan the son of
Achbor died, Hadar reigned in his
place: and the name of his city was
horse, with the sure footing of the donkey to
create the hybrid.

Pau; and his wife's name was
Mehetavel, the daughter of Matred, the
daughter of Mezahav.

chiefs of Esav, according to their
mishpachot (families), and their
places, by their names; chief Timnah,
chief Alvah, chief Yetheth,

chief Pinon,

Chapter 37
1 Now Ya’acob (Jacob) dwelt in the
land where his father was a stranger,
in the land of Canaan.
2 This is the genealogy of Ya’acob
(Jacob). Yosef, being seventeen years
old, was feeding the flock with his
brothers; and the lad was with the
sons of Bilhah, and the sons of Zilpah,
his father's wives: and Yosef brought a
bad report of them to his father.
3 Now Yah’sar’el (Israel) loved Yosef
more than all his children, because he
was a wise son to him:2 and he made
him a tunic of many colors.
4 And when his brothers saw that
their father loved him more than all his
brothers, they hated him, and could
not speak peaceably to him.
1 they will bring back Jewish people to live in
All the different Jordanian people.
2 Targum of Onkelos.
91
5 Now Yosef dreamed a dream, and
he told it to his brothers: and they
hated him even more.
6 So he said to them, Please hear
this dream which I have dreamed:
7 There we were, binding sheaves in
the field, and, behold, my sheaf arose,
and also stood upright; and, indeed,
your sheaves stood all around, and
bowed down to my sheaf.
8 And his brothers said to him, Shall
you indeed reign over us? Or, shall
you indeed have dominion over us?
So they hated him even more for his
dreams, and for his words.
9 Then he dreamed still another
dream, and told it to his brothers, and
said, Look, I have dreamed another
dream; and, this time, the sun and the
moon and the eleven stars bowed
down to me.
10 So he told it to his father, and his
brothers: and his father rebuked him,
and said to him, What is this dream
that you have dreamed? Shall your
mother and I and your brothers indeed
come to bow down to the earth before
you?3
3 Yosef was seeing the future when in the
remez (hint) he would prefigure the Messiah
Yahushua but also in the Pashat (literal) he
was seeing himself in Egypt, where the entire
world as he saw it would come to purchase
grain to survive the drought therefore bowing
to him to pay homage. In the future this would
be fulfilled in the nation of the US who will be
the Yosef nation, who very much like Egypt
would have many believers and have the same
kind of control and power where many nations
would bow down to it. In the end of days the
USA would help Israel in the wars that are
coming with the Islamic nations especially the
one we call Armageddon. The US and the UK
will play key roles as the shepherd nations of
YHWH. Just like Yosef invited his father and his
children to live in the richest portions of Egypt
so will in the future when Israel is in trouble
good parts of USA under a future president
who will be very supportive for Israel.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
11 And his brothers envied him; but
his father kept the matter in mind.
1
12 Then his brothers went to feed
their father's flock in Shechem.
13 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) said to
Yosef, Are not your brothers feeding
the flock in Shechem? Come, I will
send you to them. So he said to him,
Here I am.
14 Then he said to him, Please go
and see if it is well with your brothers,
and well with the flocks; and bring
back word to me. So he sent him out
of the Valley of Hebron, and he came
to Shechem.
15 Now a certain man found him,
and there he was wandering in the
field:2 and the man asked him, saying,
What are you seeking?
1 The dots in the letters above indicate a family
reunion and here Yosef has been sent to the
family to his brothers. Interestingly although
this is about Jacob’s family, the verse has
seven words and the letters Alef+Tav sit right
at word number three, indicating a sign like in
the Ten commandments the third
commandment stating do not falsify or profane
the name of YHWH. Here the name of YHWH
was about to be profaned. One can profane the
name of YHWH by doing something He forbids
you to do, while at the same time in the mercy
of YHWH this was about to become the first
highlight of the Messiah's redemptive work of
sending Yosef into Egypt. The eleven brothers
were feeding the earthly father's flock, Yosef
was about to reveal feeding of the Israelite
flock in the personification of the Messiah. The
Alef symbolizes the Father in heaven the
source of all things through whom we get the
Ruach Ha Kodesh and the Son Yahushua.
2 Remez (hint) of future Messiah, wandering,
collecting His sons from the world, as the field
is the drash for, the world (Matt 13:38). While
the Hebrews wandered, after being scattered,
the Messiah goes out to collect them through
the Good News, the Torah of Messiah.
92
16 So he said, I am seeking my
brothers: Please tell me where they
are feeding their flocks.
17 And the man said, They have
departed from here; for I heard them
say, Let us go to Dothan. So Yosef
went after his brothers, and found
them in Dothan.3
18 Now when they saw him afar off,
even before he came near them, they
conspired against him to kill him.
19 Then they said to one another,
Look, this master of dreams is
coming.4
20 Come therefore, let us now kill
him, and cast him into some pit, and
we shall say, Some wild beast has
devoured him: and we shall see what
will become of his dreams.
21 And Reuben heard it, and he
delivered him out of their hands; and
said, Let us not kill him.
22 And Reuben said to them, Shed
no blood, but cast him into this pit
which is in the wilderness, and do not
lay a hand on him; that he might
deliver him out of their hands, and
bring him back to his father.
23 So it came to pass, when Yosef
had come to his brothers, that they
stripped Yosef of his tunic, the tunic of
many colors that was on him.
24 Then they took him, and cast him
into a pit: and the pit was empty, there
was no mayim (water) in it.
25 And they sat down to eat a meal:
and they lifted their eyes and looked,
3 Note: Yosef found his eleven brothers, the
Tribes, in Dothan, a town not far away from
Samaria. Hence showing us a picture of the
Messiah Yahushua’s ministry starting out in the
North, where the scattering would be.
4 The Hebrew word here, ‘Ha Lazeh’, is used to
indicate a derogatory word. Yosef’s brothers
used this against him, it was not a common
word, and so, they showed extreme hatred for
their brother.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
and, there was a company of
Yishmaelites coming from Gilead with
their camels bearing spices, balm, and
myrrh, on their way to carry them
down to Mitzrayim (Egypt).
26 So Yahudah (Judah) said to his
brothers, What profit is there if we kill
our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Come, and let us sell him to the
Yishmaelites, and let not our hand be
upon him;1 for he is our brother and
our flesh. And his brothers listened.
28 Then Midianite traders passed
by; so the brothers pulled Yosef up
and lifted him out of the pit, and sold
him to the Yishmaelites for twenty
shekels of silver: and they took Yosef
to Mitzrayim (Egypt).
29 Then Reuben returned to the pit;
and, indeed, Yosef was not in the pit;
and he tore his clothes.
30 And he returned to his brothers,
and said, The lad is no more; and I,
where shall I go?
31 And they took Yosef's tunic, and
killed a kid of the goats, and dipped
the tunic in the blood.
32 Then they sent the tunic of many
colors, and they brought it to their
father and said, We have found this.
Do you know whether it is your son's
tunic or not?
33 And he recognized it and said, It
is my son's tunic. A wild beast has
devoured him. Without doubt Yosef is
torn to pieces.
34 Then Ya’acob (Jacob) tore his
clothes, put sackcloth on his waist,
and mourned for his son many days.
35 And all his sons and all his
daughters arose to comfort him; but he
refused to be comforted, and he said,
For I shall go down into the grave to
1 Remez of Israel doing business with the
Arabs, their half brothers. Also, that they would
sell their own brother to them for business, as
they are now dividing the land of Israel.
93
my son in mourning. Thus his father
wept for him.
36 Now the Midianites had sold him
in Mitzrayim (Egypt) to Potiphera, an
officer of Pharaoh, and captain of the
guard.
Chapter 38
1 It came to pass at that time that
Yahudah (Judah) departed2 from his
brothers, and visited a certain
Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
2 And Yahudah (Judah) there he
met a Canaanite, the daughter of
Shua, he married her and went in to
her.3
3 And she conceived, and bore a
son; and he called his name Er.
4 She conceived again; and bore a
son; and she called his name Onan.
5 And she conceived yet again, and
bore a son; and called his name
Shelah: and he was at Chezib when
she bore him.
6 Then Yahudah (Judah) took a wife
for Er his bechor (firstborn), and her
name was Tamar.4
7 But Er, Yahudah (Judah)'s bechor
(firstborn), was wicked in the sight of
hwhy, and hwhy killed him.5
2 The hint is that he also partially departed
from YHWH’s law for a few months. This is
explained later if you catch the thought that he
married a Canaanite, whom he was not
supposed to marry; but he married her
because she wore pretty make up and looked
nice. The reason was also that he was drunk,
and he made a promise to marry her while
drunk; and so he had to fulfil his promise.
Warning, we should never make promises
when under the influence of drink or drugs.
3 The name of the man was Shua; but his
daughter’s name was Aliyath.
4 Tamar was the daughter of a kohen (priest).
5 He did not want to give her children, so he
ejaculated his sperm on the ground through
masturbation (masturbation per se was not a
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
8 And Yahudah (Judah) said to
Onan, Go in to your brother's wife,1
and marry her, and raise up an heir to
your brother.
9 But Onan2 knew3 that the heir
would not be his; and it came to pass,
when he came to4 his brother's wife,
sin), and YHWH was displeased. He did not
have intercourse with her. He did this because
his Canaanite mother had told him not to give
Tamar children. The gentiles will always lead
you astray from the covenants. Not having
children and deliberately suppressing them via
contraceptives is a sin; because we are
commanded to ‘be fruitful and multiply.’
1 Levirate marriage: where a dead brother’s
wife had to be married to the brother who was
alive, irrespective of him having one wife or
not, this was commanded polygamy, to give
the dead brother children, to raise his name.
2 Onanism comes from the name Onan, for
birth control. You will find this in many good
dictionaries as the practice of, coitus
interruptus. YHWH certainly did not appreciate
birth control, so, no condoms would have been
allowed in ancient Hebrew culture. Er and
Onan had to die, because of YHWH's
displeasure with them, for destroying their
seed. The highest calling from YHWH for any of
us is not asceticism, although it is possibly a
short term choice, and only a short term choice
for some, at that, with strings attached; but for
Israelite men the highest calling is to be
fruitful, and multiply.
3 Genesis 38:9, And Onan knew that the seed
should not be his; and it came to pass, when
he went in [the word is not one of having
sexual intercourse] unto his brother's wife, that
he spilled his sperm on the ground, lest that he
should give seed to his dead brother’s wife.
Here comes the sting in the tail. Tamar's
marriage had never been consummated! Not
that it needed to be in Torah culture. Her two
previous husbands had not had sexual
intercourse with her, both practiced
masturbation in front of her, destroying their
seed on the ground.
4 The translations that say he had sexual
contact with Tamar are faulty, because he
never went into the girl; and always performed
masturbation in front of her. The Hebrew word
94
that he emitted his seed on the
ground, lest he should give an heir to
his brother.
10 And the thing which he did
displeased hwhy; therefore He killed
him also. 5
11 Then Yahudah (Judah) said to
Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a
widow in your father's house, till my
son Shelah is grown: for he said, Lest
he also die as his brothers did. And
Tamar went and dwelt in her father's
house.
12 Now in the process of time the
daughter of Shua Yahudah (Judah)'s
wife died; and Yahudah (Judah) was
comforted, and went up to his
sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his
friend Hirah the Adullamite.6
13 And it was told Tamar, saying,
Look, your father-in-law is going up to
Timnah to shear his sheep.
does not say he had any sexual contact with
her; but simply, he came upon her, or, in the
room where he intended to perform his own
desire to masturbate; and throw his seed on
the ground.
5 He was not killed for masturbation, as people
presume; but because he refused to raise sons
for Israel as commanded. Israel was to multiply
into many nations. Today we have many
believers who refrain from having children, or
may just have one, or two, this is upsetting for
YHWH. Israel is supposed to multiply seed.
This man did the same, upon advice from his
mother, just like his brother who did not want
to give Tamar children. He never had sex with
Tamar; but did masturbate in front of her, and
then, ejaculated on the ground.
6 Yahudah put a curse on her because she had
led his sons astray, and she died by this curse.
From the pseudoepigrapha:Yahudah ll:3-5
While I was absent, she went off and brought
from Canaan a wife for Shelah. When I realised
what she had done, I pronounced a curse on
her in the anguish of my soul, and she died in
her wickedness, together with her children.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
14 So she took off her widow's
garments, covered herself with a veil, 1
and wrapped herself, and sat in an
open place which was on the way to
Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was
grown, and she was not given to him
as a wife.
15 When Yahudah (Judah) saw her,
he thought she was a harlot, because
she had covered her face.
16 Then he turned to her by the
way, and said, Please let me come in
to you; for he did not know that she
was his daughter-in-law. She said,
What will you give me, that you may
come in to me?
17 And he said, I will send you a
young goat from the flock. And she
said, Will you give me a pledge till you
send it?
18 Then he said, What pledge shall
I give you? So she said, Your signet
and cord, and your staff that is in your
hand.2 Then he gave them to her, and
1 This should help to explain why Rabbi Paul
rebukes men, and women, from covering their
faces in the assembly in I Corinthians 11:4,
because in this culture, prostitutes covered
their faces. So, women and/or men, who wore
a veil, would indicate that they were holding to
their old lifestyles of prostitution. The text does
not say, cover your head, in First Corinthians
11:4, it says, cover your face. Even in the
Greek, the word ‘kata’, is to hang down on the
forehead. Head covering is mandatory for both
men and women, yet many in the western
world live disobediently.
2 From the historical canon of the Patriarchs
known as the pseudoepigrapha; Yahudah 1-3
And after these things, while Tamar was a
widow, she heard after two years that I was
going up to shear my sheep, and adorned
herself in bridal array, and sat in the city Enaim
by the gate. For it was a law of the Amorites,
that she who was about to marry should sit in
fornication seven days by the gate.
Yahudah was also drunk at the time of meeting
Tamar, just like his wife Aliyath, so he did not
recognize her; because how can a man sleep
95
had sexual relations with her, and she
conceived by him.
19 So she arose, and went away,
and laid aside her veil, and put on the
garments of her widowhood.
20 And Yahudah (Judah) sent the
young goat by the hand of his friend
the Adullamite, to receive his pledge
from the woman's hand, but he did not
find her.
21 Then he asked the men of that
place, saying, Where is the harlot, who
was openly by the roadside? And they
said, There was no harlot in this place.
22 And he returned to Yahudah
(Judah) and said, I cannot find her;
and also the men of the place said,
there was no harlot in this place.
23 Then Yahudah (Judah) said, Let
her take them, for herself, lest we be
shamed for, I sent this young goat,
and you have not found her.
24 And it came to pass, about three
months after, that Yahudah (Judah)
was told, saying, Tamar your
daughter-in-law has played the harlot;
furthermore, she is with child by
harlotry. So Yahudah (Judah) said,
Bring her out and let her be burned.3
25 When she was brought out, she
sent to her father-in-law, saying, By
the man to whom these belong, I am
with child. And she said, Please
with a woman and not recognize that it is his
daughter in law? The reason why Tamar sat at
the gate, the sign and symbol of authority, was
not because she was a harlot, she was seeking
marriage; but Yahudah in his drunkenness
could not tell the difference between marriage
and harlotry, and at that time anything moving
in a skirt would have been sufficient. Sadly,
some men still behave like this today. So we
get it now, that it was even a law of the
Amorites, Tamar was now basically seeking the
child from Yahudah, in view to marriage, not
incest or adultery.
3 She was commanded to be burned because
she was a kohen’s daughter.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
determine whose these are, the signet,
and cord, and staff.
26 So Yahudah (Judah)
acknowledged them, and said, She
has been more righteous than I;
because I did not give her to Shelah
my son. And he never had sexual
relations with her again. 1
27 Now it came to pass, at the time
for giving birth, that, behold, twins
were in her womb.
28 And so it was, when she was
giving birth, that the one put out his
hand; and the midwife took a scarlet
thread, and bound it on his hand,
saying, This one came out first.
29 Then it happened, as he drew
back his hand, that his brother came
out unexpectedly: and she said, How
did you break through? This breach be
upon you! Therefore his name was
called Perez.2
30 Afterward his brother came out,
who had the scarlet thread on his
hand. And his name was called
Zerah.3
Chapter 39
1 Now Yosef had been taken down
to Mitzrayim (Egypt); and Potiphera,
an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the
guard, a Mitzri (Egyptian), bought him
from the Yishmaelites, who had taken
him down there.
2 hwhy was with Yosef, and he was
a successful man; and he was in the
house of his master the Mitzri
(Egyptian).

he felt ashamed of himself, thinking of the act.

and Yahudah.

3 And his master saw that hwhy
was with him, and that hwhy made all
he did to prosper in his hand.
4 So Yosef found favour in his sight,
and served him: and he made him
overseer of his house, and his entire
belongings he put in his hand.
5 So it was from the time that he had
made him overseer of his house, and
all that he had, that hwhy blessed the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) Beyth (house) for
Yosef's sake; and the blessing of
hwhy was on all that he had in the
house, and in the field.
6 And he left all that he had in
Yosef's hand; and he did not know
what he had, except for the lechem
(bread) which he ate. And Yosef was
handsome in form and appearance
7 Now it came to pass after these
things, that his master's wife cast
longing eyes on Yosef; and she said,
Lie down with me.4
8 But he refused, and said to his
master's wife, Look, my master does
not know what is with me in the house,
and he has committed all that he has
to my hand;
9 There is no one greater in this
house than I; nor has he kept back
anything from me but you, because
you are his wife: how then can I do
10 And so it was, as she spoke to
Yosef day by day, that he did not heed
her, to lie with her, or to be with her.
11 And it happened about this time,
when Yosef went into the house to do
his work; and none of the men of the
house were inside,
12 And she caught him by his
garment, saying, Lie with me: and he
left his garment in her hand, and fled
and ran outside.
4 Adultery was and is forbidden, and a grievous
sin, hence why Yosef refused to sleep with
Potipherah’s wife.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
13 And so it was, when she saw that
he had left his garment in her hand,
and fled outside,
14 That she called to the men of her
house, and spoke to them, saying,
See, he has brought in to us an
Abrahu (Hebrew) to mock us; he came
in to me to lie with me, and I cried out
with a loud voice:1
15 And it happened, when he heard
that I lifted my voice and cried out, that
he left his garment with me, and fled,
and went outside.
16 So she kept his garment with her,
until his master came home.
17 Then she spoke to him with
words like these, saying, The Abrahu
(Hebrew) servant, whom you brought
to us, came in to me to mock me:
18 So it happened, as I lifted my
voice and cried out, that he left his
garment with me, and fled outside.
19 So it was, when his master heard
the words, which his wife spoke to
him, saying, Your servant did to me,
after this manner; that he was very
angry.
20 Then Yosef's master seized him,
and put him into the prison, a place
where the king’s prisoners were
confined: and he was there in the
prison.
21 But hwhy was with Yosef, and
showed him mercy, and He gave him
favour in the sight of the keeper of the
prison.
22 And the keeper of the prison
committed to Yosef's hand all the
prisoners that were in the prison; and
whatever they did there, he was in
charge.
1 When the gentiles do not get their way, they
resort to insults, and lying allegations against
believers. This is the typical pattern in the
world; we see this throughout history, and
even today.
97
23 The keeper of the prison did not
look into anything that was under
Yosef's hand; because hwhy was with
him, and whatever he did, hwhy
made it to prosper.2
Chapter 40
1 It came to pass, after these things
that the butler and the baker of the
king of Mitzrayim (Egypt) offended
their master, the king of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
2 And Pharaoh was angry with his
two officers, the chief butler, and the
chief baker.
3 So he put them in custody in the
house of the captain of the guard, in
the prison, the place where Yosef was
confined.
4 And the captain of the guard
charged Yosef with them, and he
served them: so they were in custody
for a while.
5 Then the butler and the baker of
the king of Mitzrayim (Egypt), who
were confined in the prison, dreamed
a dream both of them, each man's
dream in one night, and each man's
dream with its own interpretation.
6 And Yosef came in to them in the
morning, and looked at them, and saw
that they were sad.
7 So he asked Pharaoh's officers
who were with him in the custody of
his master's house, saying, Why do
you look so sad today?
8 And they said to him, We each
have dreamed a dream, and there is
no interpreter of it. And Yosef said to
them, Do not interpretations belong to
Elohim? Tell them to me, please.
9 Then the chief butler told his
dream to Yosef, and said to him,
2 Wherever true blood-washed righteous
people stand, they will bless others around
them, both in business, and commerce, and
generally in family relationships.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
Behold, in my dream a vine was
before me;
10 And in the vine were three
branches: it was as though it budded,
its blossoms shot forth; and its clusters
brought forth ripe grapes:
11 Then Pharaoh's cup was in my
hand: and I took the grapes, and
pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and
placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.
12 And Yosef said to him, This is the
interpretation of it: The three branches
are three days:
13 Now within three days Pharaoh
will lift up your head, and restore you
to your place: and you will put
Pharaoh's cup in his hand, according
to the former manner when you were
his butler.
14 But remember me when it is well
with you, and please show favour, to
me, and make mention of me to
Pharaoh, and get me out of this Beyth
(house):
15 For indeed I was stolen away
from the land of the Abrahuans
(Hebrews):1 and also I have done
nothing here that they should put me
into the dungeon.
16 When the chief baker saw that
the interpretation was good, he said to
Yosef, I also was in my dream, and
there I had three white baskets on my
head:
17 In the uppermost basket there
were all kinds of baked goods for
Pharaoh; and the birds ate them out of
the basket on my head.
18 So Yosef answered and said,
This is the interpretation of it: The
three baskets are three days:
1
Abrahuans is the term given to the people
who lived in Canaan, which later became
Israelites, after Jacob came to be known by his
modern name Israel; but his real name is
Yah’sar’el.
98
19 Yet within three days Pharaoh
will lift off your head from you, and
hang you on a tree; and the birds will
eat your flesh from you.
20 Now it came to pass on the third
day, which was Pharaoh's birthday,
that he made a feast for all his
servants: and he lifted up the head of
the chief butler and of the chief baker
among his servants.
21 And he restored the chief butler
to his butlership again; and he placed
the cup in Pharaoh's hand:
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as
Yosef had interpreted to them.
23 Yet the chief butler did not
remember Yosef, but forgot him.

1 Then it came to pass, at the end
of two full years, that Pharaoh had a
dream: and, behold, he stood by the
river.
2 Suddenly, there came up out of
the river seven cows fine looking and
fat; and they fed in the meadow.
3 Then, behold, seven other cows
came up after them out of the river,
ugly and gaunt; and stood by the other
cows on the bank of the river.
4 And the ugly and gaunt cows ate
up the seven fine looking and fat cows.
So Pharaoh awoke.
5 He slept and dreamed a second
time: and, suddenly, seven heads of
grain came up on one stalk, plump and
good.
6 And, behold, seven thin heads
scorched by the east wind sprang up
after them.
7 And the seven thin heads
devoured the seven plump and full
heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and
indeed, it was a dream.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
8 Now it came to pass in the
morning that his spirit was troubled;
and he sent and called for all the
magicians of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and all
its wise men: and Pharaoh told them
his dream; but there was no one who
could interpret them for Pharaoh.
9 Then the chief butler spoke to
Pharaoh, saying, I remember my faults
this day:
10 Pharaoh was angry with his
servants, and put me in custody in the
house of the captain of the guard; both
me and the chief baker:
11 And we each dreamed a dream in
one night, he and I; each of us
dreamed according to the
interpretation of his own dream.
12 Now there was a young man with
us there an Abrahu (Hebrew), a
servant of the captain of the guard;
and we told him, and he interpreted
our dreams for us; to each man he…
13 And it came to pass, as he
interpreted to us, so it happened; I was
restored to my office, and the baker
was hanged.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called
Yosef, and they brought him quickly
out of the dungeon: and he shaved,
changed his clothing, and came to
Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said to Yosef, I
have had a dream, and there is no one
who can interpret it: and I have heard
it said of you, that you can understand
a dream to interpret it.
16 And Yosef answered Pharaoh,
saying, It is not in me: Elohim will give
Pharaoh an answer of shalom
(peace).1
1 Even though the Pharaoh was an unbeliever,
Joseph does not want ill for him. This is the
heart of a Hebrew, the fulfilling of the
commandment. This is demonstrating the
letter, and the spirit, of, ‘love your neighbor as
yourself’, in reality.
99
17 Then Pharaoh said to Yosef,
Behold, in my dream, I stood on the
bank of the river:
18 Suddenly, seven cows came up
out of the river, fine looking and fat;
and they fed in the meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other cows
came up after them, poor and very
ugly and gaunt, such ugliness as I
have never seen in all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt):
20 And the gaunt and ugly cows ate
up the first seven fat cows:
21 When they had eaten them up,
no one would have known that they
had eaten them; for they were just as
ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 Also I saw in my dream, and,
suddenly, seven heads came up on
one stalk, full and good:
23 Then, behold, seven heads,
withered, thin, and scorched by the
east wind, sprang up after them:
24 And the thin heads devoured the
seven good heads; and I told this to
the magicians; but there was no one
who could explain it to me.
25 Then Yosef said to Pharaoh, The
dreams of Pharaoh are one: Elohim
has shown Pharaoh what He is about
to do.
26 The seven good cows are seven
years; and the seven good heads are
seven years: the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ugly
cows which came up after them are
seven years; and the seven empty
heads scorched by the east wind are
seven years of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have
spoken to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown
Pharaoh what He is about to do.
29 Indeed, seven years of great
plenty will come throughout all the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt):
30 But after them seven years of
famine will arise; and all the plenty will
be forgotten in the land of Mitzrayim
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
(Egypt); and the famine will deplete
the land;
31 And the plenty will not be known
in the land because of the famine
following, for it will be very severe.
32 And the dream was repeated to
Pharaoh twice; because the thing is
established by Elohim, and Elohim will
shortly bring it to pass.1
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh select
a discerning and wise man, and set
him over the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him
appoint officers over the land, to
collect one-fifth of the produce of the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) in the seven
plentiful years.
35 And let them gather all the food
of those good years that are coming,
and store up grain under the authority
of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in
the cities.
36 And that food shall be a reserve
for the land for the seven years of
famine, which shall be in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt); so that the land
may not perish during the famine.
37 So the advice was good in the
eyes of Pharaoh,2 and in the eyes of
all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said to his servants,
Can we find such a one as this, a
man3 in whom is the Ruach (Set-apart
Spirit) of Elohim?
1 and Palti. How do we know it of Joseph?
If something is repeated twice, then that
thing is certain to come to pass.
2 Yosef was about to get a name change, this
is reflected in Tehillim (Psalm 81:5). The name
in Tehillim is spelled with an extra Heh,
indicating YHWH adding favour upon Yosef,
now known as Yahosef, when the angel Gabriel
taught him the seventy languages that he
needed, to become prime minister of Egypt.
3 In the Talmud Rabbi Hiyya ben Abba said in
the name of Rabbi Johanan: ‘At the moment
when Pharaoh said to Joseph, And without
thee shall no man lift up his hand, Pharaoh's
100
39 Then Pharaoh said to Yosef,
Because Elohim has shown you all
this, there is no one as discerning and
wise as you:
40 You shall be over my Beyth
(house), and all my people shall be
ruled according to your word: only in
regard to the throne will I be greater
than you.
41 And Pharaoh said to Yosef, See,
I have set you over all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).4
42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring
from his own hand, and put it on
Yosef's hand, and he clothed him in
garments of fine linen, and put a gold
chain around his neck;
43 And he had him ride in the
second chariot which he had; and they
cried out before him, Bow the knee:
astrologers exclaimed: 'Wilt thou set in power
over us a slave whom his master bought for
twenty pieces of silver!' He replied to them,
'discern in him royal characteristics.' They said
to him, 'in that case he must be acquainted
with the seventy languages.'
Angel Gabriel came and taught [Joseph] the
seventy languages, but he could not learn
them. Thereupon [Gabriel] added to his name
a letter from the Name of the Set-apart One,
blessed be He, and he learned [the
languages]...’ (Sotah 36b).
There were three who fled from transgression
and with whom the Set-apart One, blessed be
He, united His name. They are: Joseph, Yael,
Because it says, He appointed it in Yehosef for
a testimony. What is the implication of the
expression Yehosef? Elohim testifies in regard
to him that he did not touch Potiphar's wife.
(Midrash Rabbah - Leviticus 23:10)
4 Before Yosef was made prime-minister of
Egypt he had to go through a trial and had to
be able to speak seventy languages, as this
charge was brought by Pharaoh’s officers and
wise men. YHWH dispatched an angel who
taught Yosef seventy languages, and he took
the office of the prime-minister in Egypt. See
our compendium edition to the Bible.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
and he set him over all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
44 Pharaoh also said to Yosef, I am
Pharaoh, and without your consent no
man may lift his hand, or foot in all the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
45 And Pharaoh called Yosef's
name Zaphnath-Paaneah.1 And he
gave him as a wife Asenath,2 the
daughter of PotiPherah kohen (priest)
of On. So Yosef went out over all the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
46 Yosef was thirty years old when
he stood before Pharaoh king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt). And Yosef went out
from the presence of Pharaoh, and
went throughout all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
47 Now in the seven plentiful years
the land brought forth abundantly.
48 So he gathered up all the food of
the seven years which were in the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and laid up the
food in the cities; he laid up in every
city the food of the fields3 which
surrounded them.
49 Yosef gathered very much grain
as the sand of the sea, until he
1

Targum of Onkelos.

Yosef would not marry the daughter of a
heathen priest. This was the daughter of Dinah
according to Pirkei Rabbi Eliezer. Do you want
to believe that Yosef got everything else right
but just forgot about not marrying a heathen
daughter of a pagan priest? This is the problem
when Christians are not taught fine details like
this, which are strict Torah rules. Without this
many Christians err and end up marrying into
pagan heathen cultures, by relating that if
Yosef did, so can we. Technically we are not
forbidden into marrying into other cultures
except the seven mentioned in the Torah, e.g.,
one can marry into the household of Ishmael
or some other culture as long as we walk with
wisdom as to whom we marry.
3 Joseph made huge silos in Egypt and stored
all the food in them
101
stopped counting; for it was without
number.
50 And to Yosef were born two sons
before the years of famine came,
which Asenath the daughter of Poti-
Pherah kohen (priest) of On bore to
him.
51 Yosef called the name of the
bechor (firstborn) Manashsheh: For
Elohim, has made me forget all my toil,
and all my father's Beyth (house).
52 And the name of the second he
called Ephraim:4 For Elohim has
caused me to be fruitful in the land of
my affliction.
53 And the seven years of plenty
that was in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), ended.
54 And the seven years of famine
began to come, as Yosef had said: the
famine was in all lands; but in all the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) there was
lechem (bread).
55 And when all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) was famished, the
people cried to Pharaoh for lechem
(bread): and Pharaoh said to all the
Mitzrim (Egyptians), Go to Yosef;
whatever he says to you, do.
56 The famine was over all the face
of the earth: and Yosef opened all the
storehouses, and sold to the Mitzrim
(Egyptians); and the famine became
severe in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
57 So all the countries came to
Yosef in Mitzrayim (Egypt) to buy grain
because the famine was severe in all
lands.
4 Double fruitful. The name was used by
Elohim later to signify the Ten scattered tribes.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
Chapter 42
1 When Ya’acob (Jacob) saw that
there was grain in Mitzrayim (Egypt),
Ya’acob (Jacob) said to his sons, Why
do you look at one another?
2 And he said, Indeed, I have heard
that there is grain in Mitzrayim (Egypt):
go down to that place, and buy for us
there; that we may live, and not die.
3 So Yosef's ten brothers went down
to buy grain in Mitzrayim (Egypt).
4 But Benyamin (Benjamin), Yosef's
brother Ya’acob (Jacob) did not send
with his brothers; for he said, Lest
some calamity befall him.
5 And the sons of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
went to buy grain among those who
journeyed: for the famine was in the
land of Canaan.1
6 Now Yosef was governor over the
country, and it was he who sold to all
the people of the land: and Yosef's
brothers came, and bowed down
before him with their faces to the
earth.2
7 Yosef saw his brothers, and
recognized them, but he acted as a
stranger to them, and spoke harshly to
them; and he said to them, Where do
you come from? And they said, From
the land of Canaan to buy food.
8 So Yosef recognized his brothers,
but they did not recognize him.
9 And Yosef remembered the
dreams which he had dreamed about
them, and said to them, You are spies;
1 The ‘land of Canaan’ is the ancient term for
the land of Israel.
2 Now the dream, in the pashat (literal) level,
comes true. The dream Yosef had while he was
with them. When they insulted him, and made
fun of him. Genesis 37:7, in the remez (hint),
speaks of a future when all Ten Tribes will bow
down to Messiah Yahushua, as their Master,
Saviour and Elohim.
102
You have come to scrutinize the tracks
of the country.3
10 And they said to him, No, my
master, but your servants have come
to buy food.
11 We are all one man's sons; we
are honest men; your servants are not
spies.
12 And he said to them, No, but you
have come to see the inner workings
of the country.
13 And they said, Your servants are
twelve brothers, the sons of one man
in the land of Canaan; and, in fact, the
youngest is with our father today, and
one is no more.
14 But Yosef said to them, It is as I
spoke to you, saying, You are spies:
15 In this manner you shall be
tested: By the life of Pharaoh, you
shall not leave this place unless your
youngest brother comes here.
16 Send one of you, and let him
bring your brother; and you shall be
kept in prison, that your words may be
tested to see whether there is any
truth in you; or else, by the life of
Pharaoh, surely you are spies!
17 So he put them all together in
prison three days.
18 Then Yosef said to them the third
day, Do this and live, for I fear Elohim:
19 If you are honest men, let one of
your brothers be confined to your
prison house; but you, go and carry
grain for the famine of your houses.
20 And bring your youngest brother
to me; so your words will be verified,
and you shall not die. And they did so.
21 Then they said to one another,
We are truly guilty concerning our
brother, for we saw the anguish of his
soul when he pleaded with us, and we
would not hear; therefore this distress
has come upon us.
3 Septuagint
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
22 And Reuben answered them,
saying, Did I not speak to you, saying,
Do not sin against the young man';
and you would not listen? Therefore
behold, his blood is now required of
us.
23 But they did not know that Yosef
understood them, for he spoke to them
through an interpreter.1
24 And he turned himself away from
them into a private area, and wept;
and he returned to them again, and
talked with them, and he took Shim’on
from them, and bound him before their
eyes.
25 Then Yosef gave a command to
fill their sacks with grain, and to
restore every man's money to his
sack, and to give them provisions for
the journey: and thus he did for them.
26 And they loaded their donkeys
with the grain and departed from there.
27 And as one of them opened his
sack to give his donkey feed at the
encampment, he saw his money; and,
there it was, in the mouth of his sack.
28 And he said to his brothers, My
money has been restored; and, there it
is, in my sack: and their hearts failed
them, and they were afraid, saying to
one another, What is this that Elohim
has done to us?
29 And they came to Ya’acob
(Jacob) their father to the country of
Canaan, and told him all that had
happened to them; saying,
30 The man, who is master of the
land, spoke harshly to us, and took us
for spies of the land.
31 And we said to him, We are
honest men; we are not spies:
1 They were communicating in Hebrew, and
Joseph could speak and understand Hebrew;
but he was communicating to them in the
Egyptian language, using an interpreter to
communicate the Hebrew, so they would not
know that he is their brother.
103
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of
our father; one is no more, and the
youngest is with our father this day in
the country of Canaan.
33 Then the man, the master of the
country, said to us, By this I will know
that you are honest men; leave one of
your brothers here with me, take food
for the famine of your households, and
be gone:
34 And bring your youngest brother
to me: then I shall know that you are
not spies, but that you are honest
men: so I will deliver your brother to
you, and you may trade in this country.
35 And it happened as they emptied
their sacks, that, surprisingly, each
man's bundle of money was in his
sack: and when they and their father
saw the bundles of money, they were
afraid.
36 And Ya’acob (Jacob) their father
said to them, You have bereaved me:
Yosef is no more, Shim’on is no more,
and you want to take Benyamin
(Benjamin) away: all these things are
come upon me.
37 Then Reuben spoke to his
father, saying, Kill my two sons, if I do
not bring him back to you: put him in
my hands, and I will bring him back to
you.
38 And he said, My son shall not go
down with you; for his brother is dead,
and he is left alone: if any calamity
should befall him along the way in
which you go, then you would bring
down my gray hair with sorrow to the
grave.
Chapter 43
1 Now the famine was severe in the
land.
2 And it came to pass, when they
had eaten up the grain which they had
brought from Mitzrayim (Egypt), that
their father said to them, Go back, buy
us a little more food.

104
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
21 And it happened, when we came
to the encampment, that we opened
our sacks, and, there, each man's
money was in the mouth of his sack,
our money in full weight: so we have
brought it back in our hand.
22 And we have brought down other
money in our hands to buy food: we do
not know who put our money in our
sacks.
23 And he said, Shalom (peace) be
with you, do not be afraid: your
Elohim, and the Elohim of your father,
has given you treasure in your sacks: I
had your money. Then he brought
Shim’on out to them.
24 And the man brought the men
into Yosef's house, and gave them
mayim (water), and they washed their
feet; and he gave their donkeys feed.
25 Then they made the present
ready for Yosef's coming at noon: for
they heard that they would eat lechem
(bread) there.
26 And when Yosef came home,
they brought him the present which
was in their hand into the house, and
bowed down before him to the earth.
27 Then he asked them about their
well-being, and said, Is your elderly
father well, the one of whom you
spoke? Is he still alive?
28 And they answered, Your
servant our father is in good health, he
is still alive. And they bowed their
heads down and prostrated
themselves.
29 Then he lifted his eyes, and saw
his brother Benyamin (Benjamin), his
mother's son, and said, Is this your
younger brother, of whom you spoke
to me? And he said, Elohim be
gracious to you, my son.
30 Now his heart yearned for his
brother: so Yosef hurried; and sought
somewhere to weep; and he went into
his chamber, and wept there.
105
31 And he washed his face, and
went out and he restrained himself,
and said, Serve the lechem (bread).
32 So they set him a place by
himself, and them by themselves, and
the Mitzrim (Egyptians) who ate with
him by themselves, because the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) could not eat food
with the Abrahuans (Hebrews), for that
is an abomination to the Mitzrim
(Egyptians).1
33 And they sat before him, the
bechor (firstborn) according to his
birthright, and the youngest according
to his youth: and the men looked in
astonishment at one another.
34 Then he took servings to them
from before him: but Benyamin
(Benjamin)'s serving was five times as
much as any of theirs. So they drank,
and were merry with him.
Chapter 44
1 And he commanded the steward
of his Beyth (house), saying, Fill the
men's sacks with food, as much as
they can carry, and put each man's
money in the mouth of his sack.
2 Also put my cup, the silver cup, in
the mouth of the sack of the youngest,
and his grain money. So he did
according to the word that Yosef had
spoken.
3 As soon as the morning dawned,
the men were sent away, they and
their donkeys.
4 And when they had gone out of
the city, and were not yet far off, Yosef
said to his steward, Get up, follow the
men; and when you overtake them,
say to them, Why have you repaid evil
for good?
5 Is not this the one from which my
master drinks, and with which he
1 This is because the Hebrews ate sheep and
cows, and these are the deities of the
Egyptians, whom they worshipped.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
divines? You have done evil in so
doing.
6 So he overtook them, and he
spoke to them these same words.
7 And they said to him, Why does
my master say these words? Far be it
from us that your servants should do
such a thing:
8 Look, we brought back to you
from the land of Canaan: the money,
which we found in the mouth of our
sacks. How then could we steal silver,
or gold from your master's Beyth
(house)?
9 With whomever of your servants it
is found, let him die, and we also will
be my master's slaves.
10 And he said, Now also let it be
according to your words; he with
whom it is found shall be my slave;
and you shall be blameless.
11 Then each man speedily let
down his sack to the ground, and each
opened his sack.
12 And he searched, and he began
with the eldest, and left off with the
youngest: and the cup was found in
Benyamin (Benjamin)'s sack.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and
each man loaded his donkey and
returned to the city.
14 And Yahudah (Judah) and his
brothers came to Yosef's house; for he
was still there: and they fell before him
on the ground.
15 And Yosef said to them, What
deed is this you have done? Did you
not know that such a man as I can
certainly divine?
16 And Yahudah (Judah) said, What
shall we say to my master? What shall
we speak? Or, how shall we clear
ourselves? Elohim has found out the
iniquity of your servants: see, we are
my master's slaves, both we, and he
also with whom the cup was found.
17 And he said, Far be it from me
that I should do so: but the man in
whose hand the cup is found, he shall
106
be my slave; and as for you, go up in
peace (shalom) to your father.

Brit Chadasha: Ephesians 2:1-10
18 Then Yahudah (Judah) came
near to him, and said, O my master;
please let your servant speak a word
in my master's hearing, and do not let
your anger burn against your servant:
for you are even like Pharaoh.
19 My master asked his servants,
saying, Have you a father, or a
brother?
20 And we said to my master, We
have a father, an elderly man, and a
child of his old age, who is young; his
brother is dead, and he alone is left of
his mother's children, and his father
loves him.
21 And you said to your servants,
Bring him down to me, that I may set
my eyes on him.
22 And we said to my master, The
lad cannot leave his father: for if he
should leave his father, his father
would die.
23 And you said to your servants,
Unless your youngest brother comes
down with you, you shall see my face
no more.
24 So it was, when we went up to
your servant my father, that we told
him the words of my master.
25 And our father said, Go back,
and buy us a little food.
26 And we said, We cannot go
down: if our youngest brother is with
us, then we will go down: for we may
not see the man's face, unless our
youngest brother is with us.
27 And your servant my father said
to us, You know that my wife bore me
two sons:
28 And the one went out from me,
and I said, Surely he is torn to pieces;
and I have not seen him since:
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
29 And if you take this one also
from me, and calamity befalls him, you
shall bring down my gray hair with
sorrow to the grave.
30 Now therefore when I come to
your servant my father, and the lad is
not with us; since his life is bound up
in the lad's life;
31 It will happen, when he sees that
the lad is not with us, that he will die:
and your servants will bring down the
gray hair of your servant our father
with sorrow to the grave.
32 For your servant became pledge
for the lad to my father, saying, If I do
not bring him back to you, then I shall
bear the blame before my father
forever.
33 Now therefore, please, let your
servant remain instead of the lad as a
slave to my master; and let the lad go
up with his brothers.
34 For how shall I go up to my
father, if the lad is not with me? Lest
perhaps I see the evil that would come
upon my father.
Chapter 45
1 Then Yosef could not restrain
himself before all those who stood by
him; and he cried out, Make everyone
go out from me. So no one stood with
him while, Yosef made himself known
to his brothers.
2 And he wept aloud: and the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) and the Beyth
(house) of Pharaoh heard it.
3 Then Yosef said to his brothers, I
am Yosef; does my father still live?
And his brothers could not answer
him; for they trembled in his presence.
4 And Yosef said to his brothers,
Please come near to me. And they
came near. And he said, I am Yosef
107
your brother, whom you sold into
Mitzrayim (Egypt).1
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor
angry with yourselves because you
sold me here: for Elohim sent me
before you to preserve life.
6 For these two years the famine
has been in the land: and yet there are
still five years, in which there will be
neither plowing nor harvesting.
7 And Elohim sent me before you to
preserve a posterity for you in the
earth, and to save your lives by a great
deliverance.
8 So now it was not you who sent
me here, but Elohim: and He has
made me an father to Pharaoh, and
master of all his house, and a ruler
throughout all the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and
say to him, Thus says your son Yosef,
Elohim has made me master of all
Mitzrayim (Egypt): come down to me,
do not tarry:
10 And you shall dwell in the land of
Goshen, and you shall be near to me,
you, and your children, your children's
children, your flocks, and your herds,
and all that you have:
11 And there I will provide for you;
for there are still five years of famine;
lest you, and your household, and all
that you have, come to poverty.
12 And, behold, your eyes, and the
eyes of my brother Benyamin
1 Likewise the Messiah Yahushua has been
turned, by Christianity, into something He is
not. Into a blonde with blue eyes, so He
cannot be recognised by His Jewish brethren.
Christians have also made him into a Torah
hating Messiah, and that will never fly with
Israel because by the definition of Torah,
Deuteronomy 13 :1-3, if he is teaching Torah
disobedience, which is common in churches,
that would qualify Him to be a false prophet,
and not, the Messiah; but only an impostor.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
(Benjamin), see that it is my mouth
that speaks to you.
13 So you shall tell my father of all
my splendour in Mitzrayim (Egypt),
and of all that you have seen; and you
shall hurry and bring my father down
here.
14 Then he fell on his brother
Benyamin (Benjamin)'s neck, and
wept; and Benyamin (Benjamin) wept
on his neck.
15 Moreover he kissed all his
brothers, and wept over them: and
after that his brothers talked with him.
16 Now the report of it was heard in
Pharaoh's house, saying, Yosef's
brothers have come: and it pleased
Pharaoh, and his servants well.
17 And Pharaoh said to Yosef, Say
to your brothers, Do this; load your
animals, and depart, go to the land of
Canaan;
18 Bring your father and your
households, and come to me: and I
will give you the best of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and you will eat the
finest portions of the land.
19 Now you are commanded, do
this; take carts out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) for your little ones,
and your wives, bring your father, and
come.
20 Also do not be concerned about
your goods; for the best of all the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt) is yours.
21 And the sons of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) did so: and Yosef gave them
carts, according to the command of
Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions
for the journey.
22 He gave to all of them to each
man changes of garments; but to
Benyamin (Benjamin) he gave three
hundred pieces of silver, and five
changes of garments.
23 And he sent to his father these
things; ten donkeys loaded with the
good things of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
ten female donkeys loaded with grain
108
lechem (bread) and food for his father
for the journey.
24 So he sent his brothers away,
and they departed: and he said to
them, See that you do not become
troubled along the way.
25 Then they went up out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and came to the
land of Canaan to Ya’acob (Jacob)
their father.
26 And they told him, saying, Yosef
is still alive, and he is ruler over all the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt). And
Ya’acob (Jacob)'s heart fainted,
because he did not believe them.
27 And when they told him all the
words which Yosef had said to them;
and when he saw the carts which
Yosef had sent to carry him, the
(ruach) spirit of Ya’acob (Jacob) their
father revived:
28 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) said, It is
enough; Yosef my son is still alive: I
will go and see him before I die.
Chapter 46
1 So Yah’sar’el (Israel) took his
journey with all that he had, and came
to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to
the Elohim of his father Yah’sac
(Isaac).
2 And Elohim spoke to Yah’sar’el
(Israel) in the visions of the night, and
said, Ya’acob, Ya’acob (Jacob),
(Jacob).1 And he said, Here I am.
3 And He said, I am El (The Power),
the Elohim of your father; do not fear
to go down to Mitzrayim (Egypt), for I
will make of you a great nation2 there.
1 Whenever YHWH says a word twice it means,
pay close attention, this will come to pass.
2 In Hebrew ‘L’goyee gadol’ means – a Great
nation, physical multiplicity. This is to begin
when they arrive in Egypt, using both the
models of patriarchal marriages- monogamy
and polygamy. And they all multiplied greatly,
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
4 I will go down with you to
Mitzrayim (Egypt); and I will also
surely bring you up again: and Yosef’s
own hand will close your eyes.
5 And Ya’acob (Jacob) arose from
Beersheba: and the sons of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) carried their father Ya’acob
(Jacob), their little ones, and their
wives, in the carts which Pharaoh had
sent to carry him.
6 And they took their livestock, and
their goods, which they had acquired
in the land of Canaan, and went to
Mitzrayim (Egypt), Ya’acob (Jacob),
and all his descendants with him:
7 His sons, and his sons' sons, his
daughters, and his sons' daughters,
and all his descendants he brought
with him to Mitzrayim (Egypt).
8 Now these are the names of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), who
went to Mitzrayim (Egypt), Ya’acob
(Jacob) and his sons: Reuben,
Ya’acob’s (Jacob's) bechor (firstborn).
9 The sons of Reuben; Chanoch
(Enoch), Pallu, Hetzron, and Carmi.
10 The sons of Shim’on; Yemu’el,
Yamin, Ohad, Yachin, Zohar, and
Sha’ul, the son of a Canaanite
woman.1
11 The sons of Lewi; Gershon,
Kohath, and Merari.
12 The sons of Yahudah (Judah);
Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah:2
but Er and Onan died in the land of
Canaan. And the sons of Perez were
Hetzron and Hamul.
because they believed the command; to be
fruitful, and multiply.
1 This is evidence that Shi’mon had another
wife at the same time, so he had children from
Bunah this Canaanitish woman, alongside the
children from Dinah, his principle first wife.
2This is the line of Messiah, with the legal
marriage of Judah to Tamar.
109
13 The sons of Yah’sachar
(Issachar); Tola, Puw’ah, Yobe (Job),
and Shimron.
14 The sons of Zebulun; Sered,
Elon, and Yahle’el.
15 These were the sons of Leah,
which she bore to Ya’acob (Jacob) in
Padan Aram, with his daughter Dinah:
all the persons of his sons and his
daughters were thirty-three.
16 The sons of Gawd; Ziphion,
Haggi, Shuni, Etzbon, Eri, Arodi, and
Areli.
17 The sons of Asher; Yimnah,
Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah, their
sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber
and Malchi’el.
18 These were the sons of Zilpah,
whom Laban gave to Leah his
daughter, and these she bore to
Ya’acob (Jacob), sixteen persons.
19 The sons of Rach’el Ya’acob
(Jacob)'s wife: Yosef, and Benyamin
(Benjamin).
20 And to Yosef in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) were born
Manashsheh and Ephraim, who
Asenath the daughter of PotiPherah
Kohen (priest) of On bore to him.
21 The sons of Benyamin
(Benjamin); Belah, Becher, Ashbel,
Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim,
Huppim, and Ard.
22 These were the sons of Rach’el,
who were born to Ya’acob (Jacob):
fourteen persons in all.
23 The son of Dan; Hushim.
24 And the sons of Naphtali;
Yahzeel, Guni, Yezer, and Shillem.
25 These were the sons of Bilhah,
who Laban gave to Rach’el his
daughter, and she bore these to
Ya’acob (Jacob): seven persons in all.
26 All the persons who went with
Ya’acob (Jacob) to Mitzrayim (Egypt),
who came from his body, besides
Ya’acob (Jacob)'s sons' wives, were
sixty-six persons in all.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
27 And the sons of Yosef, who were
born to him in Mitzrayim (Egypt), were
two persons: all the persons of the
house of Ya’acob (Jacob), who went to
Mitzrayim (Egypt), were seventy.1
28 Then he sent Yahudah (Judah)
before him to Yosef, to point out
before him the way to Goshen: and
they came to the land of Goshen.
29 And Yosef made ready his
chariot, and went up to Goshen, to
meet his father Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
he presented himself to him; and fell
on his neck, and wept on his neck a
good while.
30 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) said to
Yosef, Now let me die, since I have
seen your face, because you are still
alive.
31 Then Yosef said to his brothers,
and to his father's household, I will go
up, and tell Pharaoh, and say to him,
My brothers, and those of my father's
house, who were in the land of
Canaan, have come to me;
32 And the men are shepherds, for
their occupation has been to feed
livestock; and they have brought their
flocks, their herds, and all that they
have.
33 So it shall be, when Pharaoh
calls you, and says, What is your
occupation?
34 That you shall say, Your
servants' occupation has been with
livestock from our youth even till now,
both we, and also our father’s: that you
may dwell in the land of Goshen; for
1 Septuagint reading is seventy-five. Ma’aseh
Schlichim (Acts) 7:14 gives the number as
seventy five also. Stephen is using the reading
of the Septuagint count, because he is
counting those who were not his seed such as
the wives of the sons of Jacob.
110
every shepherd is an abomination to
the Mitzrim (Egyptians).2
Chapter 47
1 Then Yosef came and told
Pharaoh, and said, My father and my
brothers, their flocks, and their herds,
and all that they possess, have come
from the land of Canaan; and, indeed,
they are in the land of Goshen.
2 And he took five men, from among
his brothers, and presented them to
Pharaoh.
3 And Pharaoh said to his brothers,
What is your occupation? And they
said to Pharaoh, Your servants are
shepherds, both we, and also our
father.
4 And they said to Pharaoh, We
have come to dwell in the land;
because your servants have no
pasture for their flocks; for the famine
is severe in the land of Canaan: now
therefore please, let your servants
dwell in the land of Goshen.
5 Then Pharaoh spoke to Yosef,
saying, Your father and your brothers
have come to you:
6 The land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) is
before you; have your father and
brothers dwell in the best of the land;
let them dwell in the land of Goshen:
and if you know any competent men
among them, then make them chief
herdsmen over my livestock.
7 And Yosef brought in his father
Ya’acob (Jacob), and set him before
Pharaoh: and Ya’acob (Jacob) blessed
Pharaoh.
2 The Egyptians worshipped bulls and sheep as
elohim, thus these people did not like those
who ate these animals. The same can be seen
in India today, where the Muslims and
Christians eat cows; but Hindus worship the
cows as sacred. Therefore they hate the people
who eat these animals, and many times
violence erupts because of this.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
8 Pharaoh said to Ya’acob (Jacob),
How old are you?
9 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said to
Pharaoh, The days of the years of my
pilgrimage1 are one hundred and thirty
years:2 few and evil have been the
days of the years of my life, and they
have not attained to the days of the
years of the life of my ahvot (fathers)
in the days of their pilgrimage.
10 So Ya’acob (Jacob) blessed
Pharaoh, and went out from before
Pharaoh.
11 And Yosef situated his father and
his brothers, and gave them a
possession in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), in the best of the land, in the
land of Rameses,3 as Pharaoh had
commanded.
1 Today many believers are more concerned
with building houses, and purchasing more and
more property; but our forefathers saw
themselves as pilgrims, even though the land
of Israel had been given to them permanently
by YHWH. Buying houses is not wrong; but our
heart attitude needs to be in line with YHWH,
to use those houses for YHWH, and not for our
own selfishness.
2 A gentile historian by the name of, Polyhistor
from Demetrius, also states the age of Jacob,
when he came into Egypt as 130, and that year
to be the third year of the famine.
3 Targum of Jonathan and the Jerusalem
Targum call this land the land of Pelusium. But,
this part of the country lay not in the Pelusiac
but rather in the Heliopolitan home. Sir John
Marsham gives his opinion that Rameses is the
name of Pharaoh the then king of Egypt,
because there were several kings of Egypt with
that name and therefore he thinks this land
was the king's land, the land of King Rameses,
which Yosef placed his father and brethren in
by the order of Pharaoh. Some writers believe,
such as Jerome, that the Israelites built the city
of Rameses. Dr. Shaw a learned historian takes
the view that this Rameses is the land of
Goshen, after the coming of the Israelites into
it, and observes that, in the Egyptian language,
‘Remsosch’ signifies men that live a pastoral
life.
111
12 Then Yosef provided his father,
his brothers, and all his father's
household, with lechem (bread),
according to the number in their
mishpachot (families).
13 Now there was no lechem
(bread) in all the land; for the famine
was very severe, so that the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) and all the land of
Canaan languished because of the
famine.
14 And Yosef gathered up all the
money that was found in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and in the land of
Canaan, for the grain which they
bought: and Yosef brought the money
into Pharaoh's house.
15 So when the money failed in the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) and in the
land of Canaan, all the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) came to Yosef, and said,
Give us lechem (bread): for why
should we die in your presence? For
the money has failed.4
16 Then Yosef said, Give me your
livestock; and I will give you lechem
(bread) for your livestock, if the money
is gone.
17 So they brought their livestock to
Yosef: and Yosef gave them lechem
(bread) in exchange for the horses, the
flocks, the cattle of the herds, and for
the donkeys: thus he fed them with
lechem (bread) in exchange for all
their livestock that year.
18 When that year had ended, they
came to him the next year, and said to
him, We will not hide from my master,
that our money is gone; my master
also has our herds of livestock; there
is nothing left in the sight of my
master, but our bodies, and our lands.
4 Illusion here is to money, which will fail one
day and be worthless unless it’s pegged to
something tangible. This will happen in the
future.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
19 Why should we die before your
eyes, both we and our land? Buy us
and our land for lechem (bread), and
we and our land will be servants of
Pharaoh: give us seed, that we may
live, and not die, that the land may not
be desolate.
20 Then Yosef bought all the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt) for Pharaoh; for
every man of the Mitzri (Egyptians)
sold his field, because the famine was
severe upon them: so the land
became Pharaoh's.
21 And as for the people, he moved
them into the cities from one end of
the borders of Mitzrayim (Egypt) to the
other end.
22 Only the land of the priests he
did not buy; for the priests had rations
allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they
ate their rations which Pharaoh gave
them: therefore they did not sell their
lands.
23 Then Yosef said to the people,
Indeed, I have bought you and your
land this day for Pharaoh: look, here is
seed for you, and you shall sow the
land.
24 And it shall come to pass in the
harvest, that you shall give one-fifth1
to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be
your own, as seed for the field, and for
your food, and for those of your
households, and as food for your little
ones.
25 So they said, You have saved
our lives: let us find favour in the sight
of my master, and we will be
Pharaoh's servants.
26 And Yosef made it a law over the

except for the land of the priests only,
which did not become Pharaoh's.
27 So Yah’sar’el (Israel) dwelt in the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), in the
country of Goshen; and they had
possessions there, and grew, and
multiplied exceedingly.

1:1-9
28 And Ya’acob (Jacob) lived in the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) seventeen
years: so the length of Ya’acob
(Jacob)'s life was one hundred and
forty-seven years.
29 When the time drew near that
Yah’sar’el (Israel) must die: he called
his son Yosef, and said to him, Now if I
have found favour in your sight, please
put your hand under my thigh,2 and
deal kindly and truly with me. Please
do not bury me in Mitzrayim (Egypt):
30 But let me lie with my ahvot
(fathers), you shall carry me out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and bury me in their
burial place. And he said, I will do as
you have said.
31 Then he said, Swear to me. And
he swore to him. So Yah’sar’el (Israel)
bowed himself on the head of the
bed.3
Chapter 48
1 Now it came to pass after these
things, that Yosef was told, Indeed,
your father is sick: and he took with
him his two sons, Manashsheh and
Ephraim.

3The prophecy came true that said Joseph will
put his hands on Jacob’s closed eyes Gen 46:4.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
2 And Ya’acob (Jacob) was told,
Look, your son Yosef is coming to you:
and Yah’sar’el (Israel) strengthened
himself, and sat up on the bed.
3 And Ya’acob (Jacob) said to
Yosef, El-Shaddai appeared to me at
Luz in the land of Canaan, and
blessed me,
4 And said to me, Behold, I will make
you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will
make of you a congregation of
people;1 and will give this land to your
seed after you as an everlasting
possession
5 And now your two sons, Ephraim
and Manashsheh, who were born to
you in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
before I came to you in Mitzrayim
(Egypt), are mine; as Reuben and
Shim’on, they shall be mine.
6 Your offspring, whom you beget
after them, shall be yours, and will be
called by the name of their brothers in
their inheritance.2
7 And as for me, when I came from
Padan, Rach’el died beside me in the
land of Canaan on the way, when
there was but a little distance to go to
Ephrath: and I buried her there on the
way to Ephrath; that is Bayitlechem
(Bethlehem).
8 Then Yah’sar’el (Israel) saw
Yosef's sons, and said, Who are
these?
9 And Yosef said to his father, They
are my sons, whom Elohim has given
me in this place. And he said, Please
bring them to me, and I will bless
them.
1 In Hebrew ‘L’Qahal amim’, means a
congregation of people and this is everlasting
people not temporal. This was the beginning of
the congregation of Israel in the wilderness
that even Stephen spoke about in Ma’aseh
Schilichim (Acts 7:38)
2 They will carry the twelve tribal names.
113
10 Now the eyes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) were dim with age, so that he
could not see. Then Yosef brought
them near him; and he kissed them,
and embraced them.
11 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) said to
Yosef, I had not thought to see your
face: and, in fact, Elohim has also
shown me your children.
12 So Yosef brought them from
beside his knees, and he bowed down
with his face to the earth.
13 And Yosef took them both,
Ephraim with his right hand toward
Yah’sar’el (Israel)'s left hand, and
Manashsheh with his left hand toward
Yah’sar’el (Israel)'s right hand, and
brought them near him.
14 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) stretched
out his right hand, and laid it on
Ephraim's head, which was the
younger, and his left hand3 on
Manashsheh's head, guiding his
hands knowingly; for Manashsheh was
the bechor (firstborn).4
15 And he blessed Yosef, and said,
Elohim, before whom my ahvot
(fathers) Abraham and Yah’sac (Isaac)
walked, the Elohim who has fed me all
my life long to this day,
16 the Malakh who has redeemed
me5 from all evil, bless the lads; let my

next footnote for an understanding on this.
4 Crossing the hand to place the blessing on
Ephraim, as this was lead by YHWH, to make
him increase more, since this is drash
(allegorical) for the Ten Tribes of Israel. The
right hand upon him specifies Binah
(Understanding), Gevurah (Strength) and Hod
(Awe). These will become mighty, powerful
nations. The left hand on Menashsheh was for
Chochmah (Wisdom), Chesed (Mercy), and
Netzach (Victory). So the two sons will be
given these qualities in the nations, they were
to be dispersed in.

name be named upon them,1and the
name of my ahvot (fathers) Abraham
and Yah’sac (Isaac);2 and let them
grow into a multitude in the midst of
the earth.3
17 Now when Yosef saw that his
father laid his right hand on the head
of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he
took hold of his father's hand, to
remove it from Ephraim's head to
Manashsheh’s head.
18 And Yosef said to his father, Not
so, my father: for this one is the
bechor (firstborn);4 put your right hand
on his head.
19 But his father refused, and said, I
know, my son, I know: he also shall
become a people, and he also shall be
great: but truly his younger brother
shall be greater than he, and his
descendants shall become a multitude
of nations (melo ha goyim).5
1 Many nations will be called and be in the
character of Israel.
2Named in Abraham and Isaac, some like the
Anglo/Saxons, qualify them to be from Isaac.
3 In Hebrew, ‘Vie-dagoo l’rov, karev eretz’
means, Let them be like a great multitude of
fish in the earth. This is why Yahushua used
the drash (allegorical) to say, I will make you
fishers of men (Matt 4:19). This prophecy
details how the two sons of Yosef prefigure the
Ten tribes of Israel to be a multitude, to be
gathered in the last days, happening in our
time today and onwards to the end.
4 Yosef thought his abbah did not realise he
was putting his right hand on the wrong son;
but Jacob knew what he was doing, as it was
directed by YHWH.
5 Melo Ha Goyim, they will become many
gentile nations. The same prophecy was given
to Abraham in Beresheeth (Genesis) 12:3. The
headship of all the tribes was shown, as in
Bamidbar (Numbers) 2:18, where Ephraim is
the head on the West. Indicating some
powerful Western nations were to be born, of
which the U.S. is one, and the U.K. is another.
114
20 And he blessed them that day,
saying, In you shall Yah’sar’el (Israel)
bless, saying, Elohim make you as
Ephraim and as Manashsheh: and he
set Ephraim before Manashsheh.
21 Then Yah’sar’el (Israel) said to
Yosef, Behold, I am dying: but Elohim
will be with you, and bring you back to
the land of your ahvot (fathers).
22 Moreover I have given to you
one portion above your brothers,
which I took from the hand of the
Amorite with my sword and my bow.
Chapter 49
1 And Ya’acob (Jacob) called his
sons, and said, Gather together, that I
may tell you what shall befall you in
the last days.
2 Gather together, and hear, you
sons of Ya’acob (Jacob), and listen to
Yah’sar’el (Israel) your father.
3 Reuben, you are my bechor
(firstborn), my might, and the
beginning of my strength, the
excellency of dignity and the
excellency of power:

to your father's bed; then you defiled it:

6 Reuben’s birthright was removed because of
his disobedience. He slept with his abbah’s
wife, not his mother; this was his abbah’s third
wife Bilhah. This kind of sin, sleeping with your
step mum, had also started to happen in the
early assemblies mentioned by Rabbi
Paulos/Sha’ul in First Corinthians 5:1. The early
assemblies practiced Biblical polygamy, just like
ancient Israel. Which was, and is, not sin; but
sleeping with your step-mother is sinful.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
assembly: for in their anger they slew
a man, and in their self-will they
hamstrung an ox.1
7 Cursed be their anger, for it is
fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel: I
will divide them in Ya’acob (Jacob),
and scatter them in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
8 Yahudah (Judah), you are he
whom your brothers shall praise: your
hand shall be on the neck of your
enemies; your father's children shall
bow down before you.2
1 The Hebrew can be read ‘digged a wall’,
when they tore down Shechem’s house to kill
the men there. Simeon and Lewi were very
strong men, and mighty fighters.
2 The Ten tribes, namely many Christian
nations, will one day go up to Israel and bow
down their heads to Judah. The Christian world
at that time will accept the decrees made by
the Rabbis so bowing down means accepting
and submitting to the Rabbis and the decrees
they have established since YHWH made Judah
the lawgiver. Judah is not going to hell as
many have been teaching in churches. This has
nothing to do with a dual covenant; but the
one covenant, renewed by YHWH, with both
Judah and the Ten tribes. Judah is first and
Ephraim is second in line, ‘salvation is from the
Jews John 4:22.’ Christians and others will not
scoff at the Rabbis as many are doing now.
The Ten tribes do not have exclusivity on the
Covenant. Read the parable of the prodigal son
in Luke chapter 15. Judah was always with the
Father in heaven, keeping the feasts, and
keeping Torah. The goal of the Messiah
Yahushua, is to make everyone of His disciples,
Torah keeping, not Torah hating. If we read
Nahum 1:15, a future prophecy, where Judah
is commanded to keep the appointed feasts,
meaning they never departed from Torah, so
cannot be cast into hell as many think. The
Torah is Messiah in a scroll and the Messiah is
Torah in a human form. The Messiah, that
Christianity presented, was the false picture of
messiah because to them he is Torahless, and
lawless, which cannot be accepted rightly by
Judah. YHWH will not send people into hell,
those He has Himself blinded, for this read
Isaiah 29:18-24 and Romiyah 11:8.
115
9 Yahudah (Judah) is a lion's cub:
from the prey, my son, you have gone
up: he bows down; he lies down as a
lion, and as an old lion; who shall
rouse him?
10 The scepter shall not depart from
Yahudah (Judah), nor a lawgiver3 from
between his feet, until Shiloh4 comes;
3 Judah is the lawgiver and when the Messiah
comes Judah will keep the scepter but the
people of the tribe of Judah will then be in
submission to Messiah, since King David will be
resurrected then he will be co-regent to
Messiah King of Kings.
4 The prophecy of the coming of King Messiah
and that the Messiah was to come from
Yahudah. All the Jewish Targamim places this
prophecy for the Messiah. The Hebrew word
‘Shevet’ is here translated ‘Sceptre’ and can
also be translated ‘Branch’ ‘Rod’ or ‘tribe.’
At the higher level they apply to the ultimate
rule of King Messiah. (Yashayahu 11:1, Tehillim
(Psalm) 23:4)
At the remez this shows that Yahudah will hold
a distinct position in the twelve tribes and will
not disappear as an identifiable entity and will
appoint and rule until the King comes. Since
the Ten tribes were rebellious as are many
Christians today towards the Torah it also
shows that Yahudah will remain closely aligned
with Torah and will be so to speak, legally in
charge of how things are conducted. Next time
you cry legalistic be careful it is inbuilt in this
prophecy by YHWH. The word for lawgiver,
Machachok can easily be applied to this tribe in
the Pashat understanding and we see Yahudah
was to come back to the land of Israel first and
they did while the Ten tribes are still out
there. The Ten will return with Teshuvah
(Repentance) towards the Torah of YHWH at
the appointed time. Tehillim Psalm 78.67
confirms this view. ‘Moreover He refused the
tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe
of Ephraim (Ten Tribes): But chose the tribe of
Judah, the mount Tsiyon which He loved.’ So
did the Messiah fulfill the role of Shiloh the first
time, the answer is no. Shiloh means to have
peace and tranquility, but the Messiah was not
meant to do that first time around as He was
the son of Yosef so Shiloh, the King, who will

bound in judgment to the Messiah, which is
none other than Ishma’el, and his sons, the
twelve tribes of Islam. Fighting against the

The choicest wine is the picture of the Messiah
Himself. The first donkey is the wild man of
Genesis 16:12 is Ishma’el. His clothes, dripped
in the blood of grapes, show us the picture of
the coming thrashing of the Islamic armies.
Which the Messiah will crush upon His return
on the Mountains of Israel, in the battle of
Armageddon mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39.
The clothes of Messiah dripping with red blood,
is not His own blood; but the enemies, which
we find mentioned in Isaiah 34.6 and Isaiah
63:1-6. The great sacrifice in Edom. For more
on this see the book World War III –

4 Targum of Jonathan, skilful in the doctrines
of Torah. This is drash for them, having a
burden for both houses of Israel to be Torah
obedient, and be reconciled in akhad. It can
symbolize a burden for two extreme borders.
One is, STRICT Torah obedience, and the other
is lax. Christians take the ‘grace’ doctrine
without Torah obedience.
5 Dan brought idolatry to Israel, through the
hands of Jeroboam. This prophecy speaks
about the end of days, where the horse, is the
horse of the anti-Messiah. The tribe of Dan has
an important part to play in fighting the armies

fruitful bough in the greater Messiah,
Yahushua.
2
These are many believers in Messiah, which
are the different branches of Christianity. The
word for son in Hebrew here is ‘ben’ which
reflects a rebuilder of a house. This is reflected
in this prophecy with Yosef being the picture of
Yahushua; but he looks very gentile. Yet he is
a Hebrew, who was rebuilding his house, and
protecting it while in Egypt, and obscurity. This
tells us many believers will not recognize
Yahushua as the Hebrew Messiah, until the
end. As the brothers of Yosef did not recognize
him until He openly spoke Hebrew, and told
them, He was their brother.
3 This word in the ancient Hebrew is ‘ayin’
meaning ‘eyes’ or ‘sight.’ Most of Christianity
today relies on sight, rather than faith. This
prophecy tells us that many believers have
come in via sight, meaning they saw miracles
by sight, and are also the watchers Jer 31:6.
4 YHWH, which is the womb that births new life
These daughters are the many branches of
Christianity, prevalent today, which start to
recognize the Messiah towards the end of days,
which we are now in, and they realize He
speaks Hebrew, and, is Hebrew.
5 The wall is the stumbling block that prevents
them seeing Torah. So the ‘daughters’ are
trying to step over the wall, which is the
meaning behind the Hebrew.
6 Yishmael, and Esav, were both hunters, and
archers. Here we see the End-Times Islamic
beast that wants to hurt Israel by shooting
arrows at them, and the killing of Christians
around the world who profess Messiah
Yahushua as king.

28 All these are the twelve tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and this is what
their father spoke to them, and he
blessed them; he blessed each one,
according to his own blessing.
29 Then he charged them, and said
to them, I am to be gathered to my
people: bury me with my ahvot
(fathers) in the cave that is in the field
of Ephron the Hittite,
7 The same word is used for breast and
almighty; and the same word is used for womb
and mercy, they are both connected traits of
YHWH. Through the Malchut (kingdom) of
(meaning Born Again), connected with the
tifereth (glory), the Son Yahushua, who is the
middle-pillar, taking us to the malchut
(kingdom).
8 The wolf is a highly monogamous creature,
Benyamin remained less polygamous than the
other tribes, hence ended up very small, and
merged with Yahudah. They were strong; but
at the same time, cunning like the wolf.
Yahudah is described as a lion, a highly
polygamous creature looking after his pride, so
we can see in the descriptions of Scripture, the
tribe of Yahudah, where the Kings and people
were polygamous alongside monogamy with
many wives and many children.
 Beresheeth (Genesis)
30 In the cave that is in the field of
Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in
the land of Canaan, which Abraham
bought with the field of Ephron the
Hittite as a possession for a burial
place.
31 There they buried Abraham and
Sarah his wife; there they buried
Yah’sac (Isaac) and Ribkah (Rebecca)
his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 The field and the cave that is
there were purchased from the sons of
Heth.
33 And when Ya’acob (Jacob) had
finished commanding his sons, he
drew his feet up into the bed, and
breathed his last, and was gathered to
his people.
Chapter 50
1 Then Yosef fell on his father's face,
and wept over him, and kissed him.
2 And Yosef commanded his
servants the physicians to embalm his
father: and the physicians embalmed
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
3 And forty days were required for
him; for such are the days required for
those who are embalmed: and the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) mourned for him
seventy days.
4 And when the days of his
mourning were past, Yosef spoke to
the household of Pharaoh, saying, If
now I have found favour in your eyes,
please speak in the hearing of
Pharaoh, saying,
5 My father made me swear, saying,
Behold, I am dying: in my grave which
I dug for myself in the land of Canaan,
there you shall bury me. Now therefore
please, let me go up, and bury my
father, and I will come back.
6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and
bury your father, as he made you
swear.
7 So Yosef went up to bury his
father: and with him went up all the
servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his
118
house, and all the elders of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt),
8 As well as all the House of Yosef,
his brothers, and his father's house:
only their little ones, their flocks, and
their herds, they left in the land of
Goshen.
9 And there went up with him both
chariots and horsemen: and it was a
very great gathering.1
10 Then they came to the threshing
floor of Atad, which is beyond the
Yardan (Jordan), and they mourned
there with a great and very solemn
lamentation: and he observed seven
days of mourning for his father.
11 And when the inhabitants of the
land, the Canaanites, saw the
mourning at the threshing floor of
Atad, they said, This is a deep
mourning of the Mitzrim (Egyptians):
therefore its name was called Abel
Mizraim, which is beyond the Yardan
(Jordan).
12 So his sons did for him just as he
had commanded them:
13 For his sons carried him to the
land of Canaan, and buried him in the
cave of the field of Machpelah, before
Mamre, which Abraham bought with
the field from Ephron the Hittite as
property for a burial place.
1 The tribes were lined up in the procession, as
in the Tabernacle, even Esav came with all his
company of men, and mourned for his brother
Jacob. Esav and his sons fought a pitched
battle with Jacob’s sons, as they would not let
them bury Jacob in the cave. Esav had sold the
land, and then lied about not selling it. Yosef
was leading the battle, so we see an end time
battle with the End times beast, Islam. When
both the Christians, and the Jewish people, will
join together to fight them. Chushim, the son
of Dan, cut off Esav’s head to settle the dispute
at the cave, and then Jacob was buried.
Radical Islamists will be humiliated and
defeated the same way, after which we will see
reconciliation between both, the twelve sons of
Israel, and the Muslims.

we did to him.
16 So they sent messengers to
Yosef, saying, Before your father died
he commanded, saying,
17 Thus you shall say to Yosef: I beg
you, please forgive the trespass of
your brothers, and their sin; for they
did evil to you: now, please, forgive the
trespass of the servants of the Elohim
of your father. And Yosef wept when
they spoke to him.
18 Then his brothers also went and
fell down before his face; and they
said, Behold, we are your servants.
19 Yosef said to them, Do not be
afraid: for am I in the place of Elohim?
20 But as for you, you meant evil
against me; but Elohim meant it for
good, in order to bring it about as it is
this day, to save many people alive.
21 Now therefore do not be afraid: I
will provide for you, and your little
ones. And he comforted them, and
spoke kindly to them.
22 And Yosef dwelt in Mitzrayim
(Egypt), he, and his father's
household: and Yosef lived one
hundred ten years.
23 And Yosef saw Ephraim's
children to the third generation: the
children of Machir, the son of
Manashsheh, were also brought up on
Yosef's knees.
24 And Yosef said to his brethren, I
am dying: and Elohim will surely visit
you, and bring you out of this land to
the land of which He swore to
Abraham, to Yah’sac (Isaac), and to
Ya’acob (Jacob).

Mitzrayim (Egypt), who did not know
Yosef.
9 And he said to his people, Look,
the people of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) are more and
mightier than we:
10 Come, let us deal wisely with
them; lest they multiply, and it
happen, in the event of war, that they
also join our enemies and fight
against us, and so go up out of the
land.
11 Therefore they set taskmasters
over them to afflict them with their
burdens. And they built for Pharaoh
supply cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them,
the more they multiplied and grew3.
And they were in dread of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
13 So the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
made the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) serve with rigor:
14 And they made their lives bitter
with hard bondage, in mortar, in
brick, and in all manner of service in
the field: all their service, in which
2 Israel practiced polygamy so therefore grew
great in a short space of time. YHWH’s model
for Israel was, and is, to produce offspring,
and not just be a one child family like the
Chinese.
3 YHWH had blessed Israel with organic
growth. Patriarchal marriage was the model
and is being restored in these last days. At
the beginning of the millennium kingdom
many women will come to the abrahu
(Hebrew) man and say please take us for
wife, there will be seven wives to one man

 Shemoth (Exodus)
they made them serve, was with
rigor.
15 Then the king of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) spoke to the Abrahu
(Hebrew) midwives, of which the
name of one was Shiphryah, and the
name of the other Puyah:
16 And he said, When you do the
duties of a midwife for the Abrahu
(Hebrew) women, and see them on
the birth stones; if it be a son, then
you shall kill him: but if it be a
daughter, then she shall live.1
17 But the midwives feared Elohim,
and did not do as the king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) commanded them,
but saved the male children alive.
18 So the king of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
called for the midwives, and said to
them, Why have you done this thing,
and saved the male children alive?
19 And the midwives said to
Pharaoh, Because the Abrahu
1 When the world cannot win against Israel
they opt out for genocide; but Israel will still
prevail. For Israel, life, is above all else, and
must be preserved irrespective of what the
local government tells you. Killing children,
whether by abortion, or some other method,
is murder. Many Christians are practicing
murder by even killing their babies. This
dastardly deed was advised to Pharaoh by no
other than, Job, before he got saved, the
man from Uz. See our compendium edition to
the Torah. Yashar 66:21-21: if it pleases the
king, let a royal decree go forth, and let it be
written in the laws of Mitzrayim which shall
not be revoked, that every male child born to
the Israelites, his blood shall be spilled upon
the ground. 22, And by your doing this, when
all the male children of Israel shall have died,
the evil of their wars will cease; let the king
do so and send for all the Hebrew midwives
and order them in this matter to execute it;
so the thing pleased the king and the princes,
and the king did according to the word of
Job.
121
(Hebrew) women are not like the
Mitzrim (Egyptians)2 women; for they
are lively, and give birth before the
midwives come to them.
20 Therefore Elohim dealt well with
the midwives: and the people
multiplied, and grew very mighty.3
21 And so it was, because the
midwives feared Elohim, that He
provided households for them.
22 So Pharaoh commanded all his
people, saying, Every son who is
born you, shall cast into the river, and
every daughter you shall save alive.

3 Even though the midwives lied, YHWH still
blessed them because they held life above all
else, and Israel can never be cursed by
anyone. If anyone thinks they can curse
Israel, or her people, and be blessed, they
are simply mistaken and live in their own
Disney world. It is better to listen to YHWH
than those in the world around you, who live
in their state of confusion. They think it is
okay to believe in the government’s laws,
even if they contradict Torah and allow
murder. We respect the government laws;
but are pro life so as not to cause anarchy,
and confusion. Our primary focus, for us, and
our families, is YHWH, and, His Torah, as
supreme. YHWH’s laws are above board and
must be adhered to wherever you are in the
world.

he was a beautiful child,1 she hid him
three months.
3 And when she could no longer
hide him, she took an ark of
bulrushes for him, daubed it with
asphalt and pitch,2 put the child in it;
and laid it in the reeds by the river's
bank.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to
know what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter3 of Pharaoh
came down to wash herself at the
1 When Moses was born he was born after his
sister Miriam prophesied that he will release
Israel, so would be the saviour of Israel sent
by YHWH. Pharaoh’s daughter who took him
in, her name was Bathia, Moses’ Hebrew
name given to him by his mother Yah’kobad
was Yah’kuthi’el, his father called him Khabar,
his sister Miriam called him Yah’red. His
brother Aaron called his name Abi’zanuch.
Kehath Moses’ grandfather called his name
Abigdor, as it is a tradition to name sons by
the elders too. Moses’ nurse called him
Abi’sokho. The rest of Israel called him
ShemiYah. As can be seen Moses was a man
of many names.
Meanings of Moses’ names, the longer
versions:
a) Khabar- (It was for him that he associated
with his wife whom he had turned away)
b) Yah’kuth’el- (I have hoped for him to the
Almighty, and El-Yah restored him unto me).
c) Yah’red- (for she descended after him to
the river to know what his end would be).
d) Abi’zanuch - (My father left my mother and
returned to her on his account).
e) Abigdor- (on his account did EL-Yah repair
the breach of the house of Jacob).
f) Abi’sokho - (In his tabernacle was he
hidden for three months).
g) Shemi’Yah- (In his days has El-Yah heard
their cries and rescued them from their
oppressors).

Arabs found it.

river; and her maidens walked along
the river's side; and when she saw
the ark among the reeds, she sent
her maid to get it.
6 And when she had opened it,
she saw the child: and, behold, the
baby wept. And she had compassion
on him, and said, This is one of the
Abrahuan (Hebrews) children.4
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's
daughter, Shall I go and call a nurse
for you from the Abrahu (Hebrew)
women, that she may nurse the child
for you?
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to
her, Go. So the maiden went and
called the child's mother.
9 Then Pharaoh's daughter said to
her, Take this child away, and nurse
him for me, and I will give you your
wages. And the woman took the child
and nursed him.5
10 And the child grew, and she
brought him to Pharaoh's daughter,
and he became her son. So she
called his name Musa 6 (Moses):
4 She knew the child was a Hebrew, because
the Hebrew children were fair, and beautiful,
and of course circumcised. She also knew the
edict that her father had set.
5 Moses grew as a prince in Pharaoh’s
household, likewise some people who get
saved grow up in satanic homes; but come
out later serving the great King Yahushua.
Satan was foiled once again when Bathia
Pharaoh’s daughter was paying Moses’ own
mother for him to grow up, and he did not
even know it! The blessings come like this to
Hebrew children, that the unrighteous money,
serves the righteous.
6 The correct name of Moses in the ancient
Egyptian language is written ‘Mousses’; but
pronounced close to Musa which is very
similar to the Arabic language today. The
name developed as ‘Moshe’ is not his
 Shemoth (Exodus)
saying, Because I drew him out of the
mayim (water).
11 Now it came to pass in those
days, when Musa (Moses) was
grown, that he went out to his
brethren and looked at their burdens:
and he saw a Mitzri (Egyptian)
beating an Abrahu (Hebrew), one of
his brethren.
12 So he looked this way, and that
way, and when he saw no one, he
killed the Mitzri (Egyptian) and hid
him in the sand.1
13 And when he went out the
second day, behold, two Abrahu
(Hebrew) men were fighting: and he
said to the one who did the wrong,
Why are you striking your
companion?
14 And he said, Who made you a
prince and a judge over us? Do you
intend to kill me, as you killed the
Mitzri (Egyptian)? And Musa (Moses)
feared, and said, Surely this thing is
known.
15 When Pharaoh heard of this
matter, he sought to kill Musa
(Moses). But Musa (Moses) fled from
the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the
land of Midian: and he sat down by a
well.
Egyptian name, this modern Hebrew
appellation, unfortunately, is not correct
because the name Moshe is not a Hebrew
name; but an Egyptian one which means, ‘to
draw out of water.’ See footnote Exo 2:2 for
Musa’s many Abrahu (Hebrew) names.
1 The Egyptian was trying to rape a Hebrew
woman, and that is why Moses protected the
woman and killed the Egyptian. This was not
an act of aggression, or murder; but an act of
kindness, and self defence to preserve Israel.
Many Christians have erred over this one
teaching, that it was murder.
123
16 Now the kohen (priest) of
Midian2 had seven daughters: and
they came and drew mayim (water),
and they filled the troughs to water
their father's flock.
17 Then the shepherds came and
drove them away: but Musa (Moses)
stood up and helped them, and
watered their flock.
18 When they came to Reu’el their
father, he said, How is it that you
have come so soon today?
19 And they said, A Mitzri
(Egyptian) delivered us from the hand
of the shepherds, and he also drew
enough mayim (water) for us, and
watered the flock.
20 So he said to his daughters,
And where is he? Why is it that you
have left the man? Call him, that he
may eat lechem (bread).
21 Then Musa (Moses) was
content to live with the man: and he
gave Zipporah his daughter to Musa
(Moses).3
22 And she bore him a son, and he
called his name Gershom:4 for he
said, I have been a stranger in a
foreign land.
23 Now it happened in the process
of time that the king of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) died: and the children of
2 Yah’thro (Jethro) was also an advisor to
Pharaoh, before he got saved.
3 This did not happen over night. Moses was
held prisoner by Yah’thro (Jethro) for ten
years, before he was freed. He pulled the rod
out of his garden, with the name of YHWH,
that Yah’thro (Jethro) had planted and had
said, whosoever will pull it out of the ground,
will marry my daughter. This can be read in
the scroll of Yashar the compendium edition
from Abrahamic-Faith website.

Yah’sar’el (Israel) groaned because
of the bondage, and they cried out,
and their cry came up to Elohim
because of the bondage.1
24 So Elohim heard their groaning,
and Elohim remembered His
covenant2 with Abraham, with
Yah’sac (Isaac), and with Ya’acob
(Jacob).

1 Now Musa (Moses) was tending
the flock of Yah’thro (Jethro) his
father-in-law, the kohen (priest) of
Midian:4 and he led the flock to the
back of the desert, and came to
Horeb, the mountain of Elohim.
2 And Malakh hwhy5 appeared to
him in a flame of fire from the midst
of a bush: and he looked, and,

suzerain vassal where the king remembers to
protect his vassal if the vassal is in distress so
this is why the word Yada here cannot just
mean ‘to know’ but means ‘to consider and
send help’ and can also mean YHWH felt
Israel’s pain in captivity and bondage so
decided to act by sending the deliverer.

to this place: take your sandals off7
your feet, for the place where you
stand is set-apart ground.
6 Moreover He said, I am the

affliction:
8 So I have come down to deliver
them out of the hand of the Mitzrim
(Egyptians), and to bring them up
from that land to a good and large
land, to a land flowing with milk and
honey; to the place of the
Canaanites,1 and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
Hivites, and the Yebusites.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry2
of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
has come to Me: and I have also
seen the oppression with which the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) oppress them.
10 Come now therefore, and I will
send you to Pharaoh, that you may
bring My people the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
11 And Musa (Moses) said to
Elohim, Who am I, that I should go to
Pharaoh, and that I should bring the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt)?3

cry for wickedness can also ascend up, when

13 And Musa (Moses) said to
Elohim, Indeed, when I come to the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
say to them, The Elohim of your
ahvot (fathers) has sent me to you;
and they say to me, What is His
name? What shall I say to them?

Arabia; also known as Jabal al Luz or Jabal al

5 This is pronounced in modern Hebrew as
EhYeh Ashar EhYeh. Some believe this is the
name of the Master of Heaven, which was
replaced with Yud, Heh, Wav and Heh,
however so far we do not have any such
evidence to validate this claim. In our opinion
we pronounce this text as The Yah that Was
the Yah. The word is spelled Alef + Heh +
Yud + Heh. The Alef is the signature of the
Father as the source of all things, who is
defined as the Keter in the Sefirotic tree, the
Heh is the term for ‘The’; but in the tree it is
the reference attribute to Cochmah (wisdom),
and represents YH for Yah. Therefore the first
character is for Alef for the Father’s signature,
The Son revealed in the second character is
Heh followed by the YUD and Heh forming
YAH revealing Chochmah, and Keter

2 There is a missing Vav in the word Olam
(forever) so some ancient Rabbis translate
this word to an alternative reading, as Alem,
meaning, to conceal or to hide; but then it
would make no sense for the next statement
which says, it is a remembrance to all
generations. So, if the name was to be
concealed, it cannot be a remembrance,
however it can mean concealed under certain
circumstances in order to protect the name
which is also important because we must
protect the sacred name and not use it in
various states such as a ritually unclean one
and also must not throw it around like a
magic formula and defiling it. There are ways
to protect it. Please see our article in
www.abrahamic-faith.com under Ask the

that in your hand? And he said, A

3 And He said, Cast it on the

and it became a serpent; and Musa
(Moses) fled from it.1
4 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Reach out your hand, and
take it by the tail. And he reached out
his hand, and caught it, and it
became a rod in his hand:
5 That they may believe that hwhy
Elohim of their ahvot (fathers), the
Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of
Yah’sac (Isaac), and the Elohim of

you.
6 Furthermore hwhy said to him,
Now put your hand in your bosom.
And he put his hand in his bosom:
and when he took it out, behold, his

1 Moses was brought up in Egypt where there
were a lot of magicians, and snake charmers.
So, he ran away because he was scared of
snakes. But what YHWH did was to remove
the fear that Moses had grown up with so he
would no longer be afraid of snakes. To
remove our fears we must confront them
head on.

depicted in the famous movie The Ten
Commandments, otherwise his hand turning
white would make no sense, and he was olive
skinned as middle-eastern people are.

out of his bosom, and, behold, it was
restored like his other flesh.
8 Then it will be, if they do not
believe you, nor heed the message of
the first sign, that they may believe
the message of the latter sign.3
9 And it shall be, if they do not
believe even these two signs, or
listen to your voice, that you shall
take mayim (water) from the river,
and pour it on the dry land: and the
mayim (water) which you take from
the river will become blood on the dry
land.
10 Then Musa (Moses) said to
hwhy, O Adon hy (YAH), I am not
eloquent, neither before, nor since
You have spoken to Your servant:
but I am slow of speech, and slow of
tongue.
11 And hwhy said to him, Who has
made man's mouth? Or, who makes

12 Now therefore go, and I will be

13 And he said, O Adon hy (YAH),
please; send by the hand of

14 And the anger of hwhy was
kindled against Musa (Moses), and
He said, Is not Aharon the Lewite
your brother? I know that he can

mouth, and I will teach you what you

16 And he shall be your
spokesman to the people: and he
himself shall be as a mouth for you,
and you shall be to him as elohim.1
17 And you shall take this rod2 in
your hand, with which you shall do

18 So Musa (Moses) went and
returned to Yah’thro (Jethro) his
father-in-law, and said to him,
Please, let me go, and return to my
brethren who are in Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and see whether they are
still alive. And Yah’thro (Jethro) said
to Musa (Moses), Go in shalom
(peace).
19 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses) in Midian, Go, return to
Mitzrayim (Egypt): for all the men are
dead who sought your life.
20 Then Musa (Moses) took his
wife and his sons, and set them on a
donkey, and he returned to the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt): and Musa
(Moses) took the rod of Elohim in his
hand.
21 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), When you go back to
Mitzrayim (Egypt), see that you do all
those wonders before Pharaoh,
which I have put in your hand: but I
will harden his heart, so that he will
not let the people go.
22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh,
Thus says hwhy, Yah’sar’el (Israel) is
My son, My bechor (firstborn):
1 A judge or a leader.
2This rod was from the Tree of life which
was an almond tree.
128
23 And I say to you, Let My son
go, that he may serve Me: and if you
refuse to let him go, indeed, I will kill
your son, your bechor (firstborn).
24 And it came to pass on the way
at the encampment that hwhy met
him, and sought to kill him.3
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp
stone, and cut off the foreskin of her
son, and cast it at Musa’s (Moses’)
feet, and said, Surely you are a
husband of blood to me.
26 So He let him go: then she said,
You are a husband of blood, because
of the circumcision.
27 And hwhy said to Aharon, Go
into the wilderness to meet Musa
(Moses). And he went, and met him
on the Mountain of Elohim,4 and
kissed him.
28 And Musa (Moses) told Aharon
all the words of hwhy who had sent
him, and all the signs, which He had
commanded him.
29 Then Musa (Moses) and Aharon
went and gathered together all the
elders of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel):
30 And Aharon spoke all the words
which hwhy had spoken to Musa
(Moses),and he did the signs in the
sight of the people.
3 Why does YHWH want to kill Moses, the
man He himself chose, and sent? The reason
was that his wife Zipporah had succumbed to
her father, who told her not to circumcise her
son, and Moses was powerless to convince
his wife, who would not listen. Hence when
YHWH was ready to kill him, we see Zipporah
doing the circumcision herself, to save her
husband because he would have died on
account of her disobedience.

 Shemoth (Exodus)
31 And the people believed: and
when they heard that hwhy had
visited the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and that He had looked on
their affliction, then they bowed their
heads and worshiped.1
Chapter 5
1 Afterward Musa (Moses) and
Aharon went in, and told Pharaoh,
Thus says hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), Let My people go, that they
may hold a feast2 to Me in the desert.
2 And Pharaoh said, Who is hwhy,
that I should obey His voice to let
Yah’sar’el (Israel) go? I do not know
hwhy, nor will I let Yah’sar’el (Israel)
go.3
3 So they said, The Elohim of the
Abrahuans (Hebrews) has met with
us: let us go three days' journey into
the desert, and sacrifice to hwhy our
Elohim; lest He fall upon us with
pestilence, or with the sword.
4 Then the king of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) said to them, Musa (Moses)
and Aharon, why do you take the
people from their work? Get back to
your labour.4
1 Note: submission by bowing their heads to
the ground, they did not erect chairs, and
stand, and sing, this form of worship is
modern, not ancient. Many people in the
world do not know YHWH the True Elohim;
but claim to worship some kind of man made
elohim.

Torah.
3 Many people in the world do not know
YHWH the true Elohim but claim to worship
some kind of man made elohim.
4 Pharaoh did not let Israel keep the Sabbath
rest either; but YHWH did not hold Israel
guilty for this sin, since they were in exile.
129
5 And Pharaoh said, Look, the
people of the land are many now,
and you make them rest from their
labour.
6 So the same day Pharaoh
commanded the taskmasters of the
people, and their officers, saying,
7 You shall no longer give the
people straw to make brick, as
before: let them go and gather straw
for themselves.
8 And you shall lay on them, the
quota of bricks, which they made
before, you shall not diminish it: for
they are idle; therefore they cry out,
saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our
Elohim.
9 Let more work be laid on the
men, that they may labour in it; and
let them not regard false words.
10 And the taskmasters of the
people, and their officers went out,
and spoke to the people, saying,
Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give
you straw.
11 Go, get yourselves straw where
you can find it: yet none of your work
will be reduced.
12 So the people were scattered
abroad throughout all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) to gather stubble
instead of straw.
13 And the taskmasters forced
them to hurry, saying, Fulfill your
work, your daily quota as when there
was straw.
14 Also the officers of the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), whom
Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over
them, were beaten, and were asked,
Hence, YHWH is lenient to those in exile who
have difficulty keeping the Sabbath due to
work; but they must pray to YHWH for Him to
clear a path, so they can have the Sabbath
day off.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
Why have you not fulfilled your task
in making brick both yesterday and
today, as before?
15 Then the officers of the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) came and cried
out to Pharaoh, saying, Why are you
dealing like this with your servants?
16 There is no straw given to your
servants, and they say to us, Make
brick: and, indeed, your servants are
beaten; but the fault is in your own
people.
17 But he said, You are idle, You
are idle; therefore you say, Let us go
and sacrifice to hwhy.
18 Therefore go now, and work; for
no straw shall be given you, yet you
shall deliver the quota of bricks.
19 And the officers of the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) saw that they
were in trouble, after it was said, You
shall not reduce any bricks from your
daily quota.
20 Then, as they came out from
Pharaoh, they met Musa (Moses)
and Aharon who stood there to meet
them:
21 And they said to them, Let
hwhy look on you, and judge;
because you have made us
abhorrent in the sight of Pharaoh,
and in the sight of his servants, to put
a sword in their hand to kill us.
22 So Musa (Moses) returned to
hwhy, and said, Adon hy (YAH),
why have You brought trouble on this
people? Why is it You have sent me?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to
speak in Your name, he has done
evil to this people; neither have You
delivered Your people at all.1
1Moses becomes impatient. We must wait on
YHWH’s time not ours.

Chapter 6
1 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Now you shall see what I
will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong
hand he will let them go, and with a
strong hand he will drive them out of
his land.
2 And Elohim spoke to Musa
(Moses), and said to him, I am hwhy.
3 And I appeared to Abraham, to
Yah’sac (Isaac), and to Ya’acob
(Jacob), as El Shaddai (The Mighty
Power),2 but by My Name hwhy was
I not known to them?3
4 I have also established My
covenant with them, to give them the
land of Canaan, the land of their
pilgrimage, in which they were
strangers.
5 And I have also heard the
groaning of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), whom the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) keep in bondage; and I
am mindful of My covenant to bring it
to pass.
6 Therefore say to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), I am hwhy, and I
will bring you out from under the
burdens of the Mitzrim (Egyptians),
and I will rescue you from their
bondage, and I will redeem you with
an outstretched Arm and with great
judgments:
7 And I will take you as My people,
and I will be your Elohim: and you
shall know that I am hwhy your

3 Abraham knew YHWH by Name since he
built an altar to YHWH, Genesis 12:8. So here
YHWH asks a rhetorical question. By
misapplying the comma in the text, the
interpreters made it look like Abraham did not
know the Name; but this was not the case.

Elohim, who brings you out from
under the burdens of the Mitzrim

8 And I will bring you into the land,
which I swore to give to Abraham,
Yah’sac (Isaac), and Ya’acob
(Jacob); and I will give it to you as a
inheritance: I am hwhy.
9 And Musa (Moses) spoke thus to
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): but
they would not heed Musa (Moses)
because of anguish of spirit, and
cruel bondage.
10 And hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), saying,
11 Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), that he must let
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) go
out of his land.
12 And Musa (Moses) spoke before
hwhy, saying, The children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) have not heeded
me; how then shall Pharaoh heed
me, for I am without eloquence?1
13 Then hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses) and Aharon, and gave them
a command for the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and for Pharaoh
king of Mitzrayim (Egypt), to bring the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).

when hwhy spoke to Musa (Moses)
in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt),

(Moses), saying, I am hwhy: speak to

command you: and Aharon your
brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that
he must send the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of his land.
3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart,
and multiply My signs and My
wonders in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
4 But Pharaoh will not heed you,
that I may lay My hand on Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and bring My armies, and My
people the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) by great judgments.
5 And the Mitzrim (Egyptians) shall
know that I am hwhy, when I stretch
out My hand on Mitzrayim (Egypt),
and bring out the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) from among them.
6 And Musa (Moses) and Aharon
did as hwhy commanded them; so
did they.
7 And Musa (Moses) was eighty
years old, and Aharon eighty-three
years old, when they spoke to
Pharaoh.
8 And hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses) and Aharon, saying,
9 When Pharaoh speaks to you,
saying, Show a miracle for
yourselves: then you shall say to
Aharon, Take your rod, and cast it
before Pharaoh, and it shall become
a serpent.
10 So Musa (Moses) and Aharon
went in to Pharaoh, and they did so,
just as hwhy commanded: and
Aharon cast down his rod before
 Shemoth (Exodus)
Pharaoh, and before his servants,
and it became a serpent.
11 Then Pharaoh also called the
wise men and the sorcerers: and the
magicians of Mitzrayim (Egypt),1 they
also did in like manner with their
enchantments.
12 For every man threw down his
rod, and they became serpents: but
Aharon's rod swallowed up their rods.
13 And He hardened Pharaoh's
heart, and he did not heed them; as
hwhy had said.
14 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Pharaoh's heart is hard; he
refuses to let the people go.
15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning;
when he goes out to the mayim
(water); and you shall stand by the
river's2 bank to meet him; and the rod
which was turned to a serpent you
shall take in your hand.
16 And you shall say to him, hwhy
Elohim of the Abrahuans (Hebrews)
has sent me to you, saying, Let My
people go, that they may serve Me in
the wilderness: and, indeed, until now
you would not hear.
17 Thus says hwhy, By this you
shall know that I am hwhy: behold, I
will strike the waters which are in the
river with the rod that is in my hand,
and they shall be turned to blood.
18 And the fish that are in the river
shall die, and the river shall stink; and
1 Balaam was one of the magicians and wise
men present in this drama on the side of
Pharaoh. Why make a snake? The Egyptians
also worshipped snakes, and this worship
travelled to India in later times. Since Moses’
snake ate the snake of Pharaoh, this
illustrates that YHWH is greater.

the Mitzrim (Egyptians) will loathe to
drink the mayim (waters) of the river.
19 Then hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), Say to Aharon, Take your
rod, and stretch out your hand over
the mayim (waters) of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), over their streams, over their
rivers, over their ponds, and over all
their pools of mayim (waters), that
they may become blood; and there
shall be blood throughout all the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), both in vessels
of wood, and vessels of stone.
20 And Musa (Moses) and Aharon
did so, just as hwhy commanded;
and he lifted up the rod, and struck
the mayim (water) that were in the
river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in
the sight of his servants; and all the
mayim (water) that was in the river
was turned to blood.
21 And the fish that were in the
river died; and the river stank, and
the Mitzrim (Egyptians) could not
drink the mayim (water) of the river;
and there was blood throughout all
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
22 And the magicians of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) did so with their
enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart
grew hard, and he did not heed them;
as hwhy had said.
23 And Pharaoh turned and went
into his Beyth (house) neither was his
heart moved by this.
24 And all the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
dug all around the river for mayim
(water) to drink; because they could
not drink the mayim (water) of the
river.
25 And seven days passed, after
hwhy had struck the river.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
Chapter 8
1 And hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), Go to Pharaoh, and say to
him, Thus says hwhy, Let My people
go, that they may serve Me.
2 And if you refuse to let them go,
behold, I will smite all your territory
with frogs:
3 And the river shall bring forth
frogs abundantly, which shall go up
and come into your Beyth (house),
into your bedroom, on your bed, into
the Beyth (house) of your servants,
on your people, into your ovens, and
into your kneading bowls:
4 And the frogs shall come up on
you, on your people, and on all your
servants.
5 Then hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), Say to Aharon, Stretch out
your hand with your rod over the
streams, over the rivers, and over the
ponds, and cause frogs to come up
on the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
6 And Aharon stretched out his
hand over the mayim (waters) of
Mitzrayim (Egypt); and the frogs
came up, and covered the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
7 And the magicians did so with
their enchantments, and brought up
frogs on the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
8 Then Pharaoh called for Musa
(Moses) and Aharon, and said, Pray
to hwhy, that He may take away the
frogs from me, and from my people;
and I will let the people go, that they
may sacrifice to hwhy.
9 And Musa (Moses) said to
Pharaoh, Accept the honour of
saying: when I shall intercede for
you, for your servants, and for your
people, to destroy the frogs from you
and your batiym (houses), that they
may remain in the river only?
134
10 And he said, Tomorrow. And he
said, Let it be according to your word:
that you may know that there is no
one like hwhy our Elohim.
11 And the frogs shall depart from
you, from your batiym (houses), from
your servants, and from your people;
they shall remain in the river only.
12 Then Musa (Moses) and
Aharon went out from Pharaoh: and
Musa (Moses) called out to hwhy
concerning the frogs which He had
brought against Pharaoh.
13 And hwhy did according to the
word of Musa (Moses); and the frogs
died out of the batiym (houses), out
of the courtyards, and out of the
fields.
14 And they gathered them
together in heaps: and the land
smelled bad.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that
there was relief, he hardened his
heart, and did not heed them; as
hwhy had said.
16 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Say to Aharon, Stretch out
your rod, and strike the dust of the
ground, that it may become lice
throughout all the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
17 And they did so; for Aharon
stretched out his hand with his rod,
and struck the dust of the ground,
and it became lice on man, and
beast; all the dust of the land became
lice throughout all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
18 Now the magicians so worked
with their enchantments to bring forth
lice, but they could not: so there were
lice on man, and beast.
19 Then the magicians said to
Pharaoh, This is the finger of Elohim:
and Pharaoh's heart grew hard, and
 Shemoth (Exodus)
he did not heed them; just as hwhy
had said.
20 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Rise early in the morning,
and stand before Pharaoh; as he
comes out to the water; and say to
him, Thus says hwhy, Let My people
go, that they may serve Me.
21 Or, else, if you will not let My
people go, behold, I will send swarms
of flies on you, and your servants, on
your people, and into your batiym
(houses): and the batiym (houses) of
the Mitzrim (Egyptians) shall be full of
swarms of flies, and also the ground
on which they stand.
22 And in that day I will set-apart
the land of Goshen, in which My
people dwell, that no swarms of flies
shall be there; in order that you may
know that I am hwhy in the midst of
the land.1
23 And I will make a difference2
between My people and your people:
tomorrow this sign shall be.
24 And hwhy did so; and thick
swarms of flies came into the Beyth
(house) of Pharaoh, into his servant’s
batiym (houses), and into all the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt): the land was
ruined because of the swarms of
flies.
25 And Pharaoh called for Musa
(Moses) and Aharon, and said, Go,
sacrifice to your Elohim in the land.
26 And Musa (Moses) said, It is
not right to do so; for we would be

through calamities. The same protection will
be there in the end time battle with Islam, for
Torah keepers only.

sacrificing the abomination of the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) to hwhy our
Elohim: if we sacrifice the
abomination of the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) before their eyes, then
will they not stone us?3
27 We will go three days' journey
into the wilderness, and sacrifice to
hwhy our Elohim, as He will
command us.
28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you
go, that you may sacrifice to hwhy
your Elohim in the wilderness; only
you shall not go very far away:
intercede for me.
29 And Musa (Moses) said,
Indeed, I am going out from you, and
I will intercede to hwhy that the
swarms of flies may depart tomorrow
from Pharaoh, from his servants, and
from his people, tomorrow: but let
Pharaoh not deal deceitfully anymore
in not letting the people go to
sacrifice to hwhy.
30 And Musa (Moses) went out
from Pharaoh, and interceded on his
behalf to hwhy.
31 And hwhy did according to the
word of Musa (Moses); He removed
the swarms of flies from Pharaoh,
from his servants, and from his
people; not one remained.
32 And Pharaoh hardened his
heart at this time also, neither would
he let the people go.
3 Egyptians worshipped bulls, and sheep,
which Moses was commanded to sacrifice,
therefore showing, that bulls and goats are
not elohim, as the Egyptian culture had come
to worship them.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
Chapter 9
1 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Go in to Pharaoh, and tell
him, Thus says hwhy Elohim of the
Abrahuans (Hebrews), Let My people
go, that they may serve Me.
2 For if you refuse to let them go,
and still hold them,
3 Behold, the hand of hwhy will be
on your cattle in the field, on the
horses, on the donkeys, on the
camels, on the oxen, and on the
sheep: there will be a very severe
pestilence.1
4 And hwhy will make a difference
between the livestock of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) and the livestock of Mitzrayim
(Egypt): and nothing shall die of all
that belongs to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 Then hwhy appointed a set time,
saying, Tomorrow hwhy will do this
thing in the land.
6 And hwhy did this thing on the
next day, and all the livestock of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) died: but of the
livestock of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) not one died.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, indeed,
not even one of the livestock of the
Israelites was dead. And the heart of
Pharaoh became hard, and he did
not let the people go.
8 So hwhy said to Musa (Moses)
and Aharon, Take for yourselves
handfuls of ashes from a furnace,
1 Note even the Egyptians, who did not
worship YHWH, did not touch pigs, and did
not breed them, or eat them. This
abomination of pig eating came from the
West, from the Greek, and Roman cultures.
The pig was designed to be a garbage
collector, a biological cleaner. Many Christians
foolishly ignore YHWH and eat this unclean
animal, which harbors many diseases.
136
and let Musa (Moses) scatter it
toward the shamayim (heavens) in
the sight of Pharaoh.
9 And it will become fine dust in all
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and it
will cause boils that break out in
sores on man, and beast, throughout
all the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
10 And they took ashes from the
furnace, and stood before Pharaoh;
and Musa (Moses) scattered them
toward heaven; and they caused
boils that break out in sores on man,
and beast.
11 And the magicians could not
stand before Musa (Moses) because
of the boils; for the boils were on the
magicians, and on all the Mitzrim
(Egyptians).2
12 And hwhy hardened the heart of
Pharaoh, and he did not heed them;
just as hwhy had spoken to Musa
(Moses).
13 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Rise early in the morning,
and stand before Pharaoh, and say
to him, Thus says hwhy Elohim of
the Abrahuans (Hebrews), Let My
people go, that they may serve Me.
14 For at this time I will send all My
plagues to your very heart, and on
your servants and on your people;
that you may know that there is none
like Me in all the earth.
15 Now I will stretch out My hand,
and strike you and your people with
pestilence; and you shall be cut off
from the earth.
2 Magician’s tricks could not work against
YHWH’s real miracles and judgment. Similar
judgments will be repeated in the end time
battle with the radical Muslims.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
16 And indeed for this purpose I
have raised you up, that I may show
My power in you; and that My Name
may be declared in all the earth.
17 As yet you exalt yourself
against My people, in that you will not
let them go.
18 Behold, tomorrow about this
time I will cause a very heavy hail to
rain down, such as has not been in
Mitzrayim (Egypt) since its founding
until now.
19 Therefore send now, and
gather your livestock, and all that you
have in the field; for the hail shall
come down on every man and every
animal which is found in the field, and
is not brought home, and they shall
die.
20 He who feared the word of
hwhy among the servants of
Pharaoh made his servants and his
livestock flee to their batiym
(houses):
21 But he who did not regard the
word of hwhy left his servants and
his livestock in the field.
22 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Stretch out your hand
toward the shamayim (heavens), that
there may be hail in all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), on man, on beast,
and on every herb of the field,
throughout the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
23 And Musa (Moses) stretched
out his rod toward the shamayim
(heavens): and hwhy sent thunder
and hail, and fire darted to the
ground; and hwhy rained hail on the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
24 So there was hail, and fire
mingled with the hail, very heavy, that
there was none like it in all the land of
137
Mitzrayim (Egypt) since it became a
nation.1
25 And the hail struck throughout
the whole land of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
all that was in the field, both man and
beast; and the hail struck every herb
of the field, and broke every tree of
the field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen,
where the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) were, there was no hail.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called
for Musa (Moses) and Aharon, and
said to them, I have sinned this time:
hwhy is righteous, and my people
and I are wicked.
28 Intercede to hwhy; that there
may be no more mighty thundering
and hail; for it is enough. I will let you
go, and you shall stay no longer.
29 And Musa (Moses) said to him,
As soon as I have gone out of the
city, I will spread out my hands to
hwhy; the thunder will cease, and
there will be no more hail; that you
may know that the earth is hwhy's.2
30 But as for you and your
servants, I know that you will not yet
fear hwhy Elohim.

were struck: for the barley was in the
head, and the flax was in bud.

were not struck: for they are late
crops.

the city from Pharaoh, and spread
out his hands to hwhy: and the

thunder and the hail ceased, and the
rain was not poured on the earth.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the
rain, the hail, and the thunder had
ceased, he sinned yet more, and he
hardened his heart, he and his
servants.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was
hard, neither would he let the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) go; as hwhy had
spoken by Musa (Moses).

1 Now hwhy said to Musa (Moses),
Go in to Pharaoh: for I have
hardened his heart, and the hearts of
his servants, that I may show these
signs of Mine through him:
2 And that you may tell in the
hearing of your son, and your son's
son, the mighty things I have done in
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and My signs
which I have done among them; that
you may know that I am hwhy.
3 And Musa (Moses) and Aharon
came in to Pharaoh, and said to him,
Thus says hwhy Elohim of the
Abrahuans (Hebrews), How long will
you refuse to humble yourself before
Me? Let My people go, that they may
serve Me.
4 Or else, if you refuse to let My
people go, behold, tomorrow I will
bring locusts within your borders:
5 And they shall cover the face of
this land, so that no one will be able
to see the land: and they shall eat the
residue of what is left, which remains
to you from the hail, and they shall
eat every tree which grows up for you
out of the field:
138
6 They shall fill your batiym
(houses), the batiym (houses) of all
your servants, and the batiym
(houses) of all the Mitzrim
(Egyptians); which neither your ahvot
(fathers), nor your grandfathers have
seen, since the day that they were on
the earth to this day. And he turned,
and went out from Pharaoh.
7 Then Pharaoh's servants said to
him, How long shall this man be a
snare to us? Let the men go, that
they may serve hwhy their Elohim:
do you not yet know that Mitzrayim
(Egypt) is destroyed?
8 And Musa (Moses) and Aharon
were brought again to Pharaoh: and
he said to them, Go, serve hwhy
your Elohim: but who are the ones
that are going?
9 And Musa (Moses) said, We will
go with our young and our old, with
our sons and our daughters, with our
flocks and our herds we will go; for
we must hold a feast to hwhy.
10 Then he said to them, hwhy
had better be with you, when I let
you, and your little ones go: beware,
for calamity is ahead of you.1
11 Not so: go now you that are
men, and serve hwhy; for that is
what you desired. And they were
driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
12 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Stretch out your hand over
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) for the
locusts, that they may come upon the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and eat
every herb of the land, all that the hail
has left.
1 Pharaoh threatens Moses as if he holds the
future of Israel; but the future is in YHWH’s
hands, and no calamity can befall those who
serve the King and obey His Torah.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
13 So Musa (Moses) stretched out
his rod over the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and hwhy brought an east
wind on the land all that day, and all
that night; and when it was morning,
the east wind brought the locusts.1
14 And the locusts went up over all
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
rested on all the territory of Mitzrayim
(Egypt): they were very severe;
previously there had been no such
locusts as they, nor shall there be
such after them.
15 For they covered the face of the
whole land, so that the land was
darkened; and they ate every herb of
the land, and all the fruit of the etzim
(trees) which the hail had left: and
there remained nothing green on the
etzim (trees), or on the plants of the
field, throughout all the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
16 Then Pharaoh called for Musa
(Moses) and Aharon in haste; and
said, I have sinned against hwhy
your Elohim, and against you.
17 Now, therefore, please forgive
my sin only this once, and plead to
hwhy your Elohim, that He may take
away from me this death only.
18 So he went out from Pharaoh,
and interceded to hwhy.
19 And hwhy turned a very strong
west wind,2 which took the locusts

Islamic armies, they will also come at the end
of days when YHWH brings them against

Sea; there remained not one locust in
all the borders of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
20 But hwhy hardened Pharaoh's
heart, and he did not let the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) go.
21 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Stretch out your hand
toward the shamayim (heavens), that
there may be darkness over the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), darkness which
may even be felt.3
22 And Musa (Moses) stretched out
his hand toward shamayim
(heavens); and there was thick
darkness in all the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) three days:
23 They did not see one another,
nor did anyone rise from his place for
three days: but all the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) had light in their
dwellings.
24 Then Pharaoh called to Musa
(Moses), and said, Go, serve hwhy;
only let your flocks and your herds be
kept back: let your little ones also go
with you.
25 And Musa (Moses) said, You
must also give us sacrifices and burnt
offerings, that we may sacrifice to
hwhy our Elohim.
26 Our livestock also shall go with
us; not a hoof shall be left behind; for
we must take some of them to serve
hwhy our Elohim; for we do not know
with what we must serve hwhy, until
we arrive there.

 Shemoth (Exodus)
27 But hwhy hardened Pharaoh's
heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Then Pharaoh said to him, Get
away from me, take heed to yourself,
and see my face no more! For in the
day you see my face, you shall die!
29 And Musa (Moses) said, You
have spoken well, I will never see
your face again!
Chapter 11
1 And hwhy said to Musa (Moses),
I will bring yet one more plague on
Pharaoh, and on Mitzrayim (Egypt);
afterward he will let you go from here:
when he lets you go, he will surely
drive you out of here altogether.
2 Speak now in the hearing of the
people, and let every man ask from
his neighbour, and every woman
from her neighbour, articles of silver,
and articles of gold.
3 And hwhy gave the people
favour in the sight of the Mitzrim
(Egyptians). Moreover, the man
Musa (Moses) was very great in the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), in the sight
of Pharaoh's servants, and in the
sight of the people.
4 And Musa (Moses) said, Thus
says hwhy, About midnight I will go
out into the midst of Mitzrayim
(Egypt):
5 And all the bechor (firstborn) in
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) shall
die, from the bechor (firstborn) of
Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even
to the bechor (firstborn) of the female
servant who is behind the hand mill;
and all the bechor (firstborn) of the
animals.1
1 Egyptians worshipped the firstborn as
elohim, so YHWH killed the first born, to
demonstrate that they were not elohim; but
140
6 And there shall be a great cry
throughout all the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), such as was not like it
before, nor shall be like it again.
7 But against none of the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall a dog2
move its tongue,3 against man, or
beast: that you may know that hwhy
does make a difference between the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) and Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
8 And all these your servants shall
come down to Me, and bow down to
Me, saying, Get out, and all the
people who follow you. After that I will
go out. Then he went out from
Pharaoh in great anger.
9 And hwhy said to Musa (Moses),
Pharaoh will not listen to you; in order
that My wonders may be multiplied in
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
10 So Musa (Moses) and Aharon
did all these wonders before
Pharaoh: and hwhy hardened
Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) go
out of his land.
Chapter 12
1 Now hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses) and Aharon in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), saying,
just ordinary humans. This put the fear in the
Egyptians heart that had strange pagan
beliefs, even some cultures such as the
Tibetans, carry this type of belief today.

2 This month shall be your
beginning of months:1 it shall be the
first month of the year to you.
3 Speak to all the congregation of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, On the
tenth day of this month every man
shall take for himself a lamb,
according to the Beyth (house) of his
father, a lamb for a household:2
1 The month of Passover, during March/April,
called Abib; but came to be known as Nisan.
According to Jewish laws today, they believe
in four New Year dates, during the current
Gregorian calendar year. According to the
Mishnah, compiled during 200 CE, this is the
designation as follows:
a) New Year for Years: The Civil new year;
beginning what many Jewish people today
term as Rosh HaShana. This is really the
Feast of Trumpets, called Yom Terua; but the
Jewish people believe that at this time Adam
was created, according to the traditions. The
1st of Tishri is the secular New Year, (head of
year) allowing us to make calculation of the
year of Jubilee, and the year of release. The
1st of Tishri can fall between September and
October.
b) Religious New Year: The year for counting
the feasts, and the year of kings begins Abib
1st, or also called Nisan 1. This is between
March and April. This is the Biblical mandated
religious head of months, the official New
Year, as written by Moses in the Torah.
c) Year of the Trees: Vayikra (Lev) 19:23-25.
This is in the Month of Shevat, January and
February.
d) Year of Tithe of cattle: The 1st of Elul is
considered for the Tithes of the Cattle. This is
August and September time.
2 The number ten represents the Ten Sefirot,
the Ten days of Awe, the ten plagues, ten is
also for Judgment, and for the tribes of
Israel, and the number Ten is the value of

4 And if the household is too small
for the lamb, let him and his
neighbour next to his Beyth (house)
take it according to the number of the
persons; according to each man's
need you shall make your count for
the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without
blemish,3 a male of the first year: you
may take it from the sheep or from
the goats:
6 Now you shall keep it until the
fourteenth day of the same month:4
and the whole assembly of the
congregation of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
shall kill it at twilight.5
7 And they shall take some of the
blood, and put it on the two doorposts
and on the lintel of the batiym
(houses), where they eat it.6
8 Then they shall eat the flesh on
that night, roasted in fire, with matzah
(unleavened bread);7 and with bitter
herbs they shall eat it.
9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all
with mayim (water), but roasted in
the letter Yud, which is the hand of YHWH,
prefiguring King Messiah Yahushua.

remain until morning; and what
remains of it until morning you shall
burn with fire.
11 And thus you shall eat it; with a
belt on your waist, your sandals on
your feet, and your staff in your hand;
and you shall eat it in haste: it is
hwhy's Passover.2
12 For I will pass through the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt) on that night,
and will strike all the bechor
(firstborn) in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), both man and beast; and
against all the elohim of Mitzrayim
(Egypt)3 I will execute judgment: I am
hwhy.
13 And the blood shall be a sign
for you on the batiym (houses) where
you are: and when I see the blood, I
will pass over you, and the plague
shall not be on you to destroy you,
when I strike the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).

a memorial;4 and you shall keep it as

commandments of Torah, not just those that
you like, as Christian denominations have a
habit of doing.
2 Passover is for all the nations that join with
Israel and become engrafted in. Christians err
by calling it the Jewish Passover.
3 The firstborn were seen to be special and
have qualities of being like elohim so people
worshipped them and YHWH killed them to
show they are not elohim.

first day you shall remove chametz
(leaven) from your batiym (houses):5
for whoever eats chametz lechem
(leavened bread) from the first day
until the seventh day, that person
shall be cut off from Yah’sar’el
(Israel).

be a set-apart assembly,6 and on the
seventh day there shall be a miqra
kodesh7 for you; no manner of work
shall be done on them, but that which
everyone must eat, that only may be
prepared by you.

evening, you shall eat matzah

first day of the month at evening.

chametz (leavened), that same
person shall be cut off from the
congregation of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
whether he is a foreigner, or a native
resident of the land.
20 You shall not eat chametz
(leaven);2 in all your dwellings you
shall eat matzah (unleavened bread).
21 Then Musa (Moses) called for
all the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and said to them, Pick out and take
lambs for yourselves according to
your mishpachot (families), and kill
the Passover lamb.
22 And you shall take a bunch of
hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in

two doorposts with the blood that is in
the basin; and none of you shall go
out of the door of his Beyth (house)

destroyer3 to come into your batiym
(houses) to strike you.
24 And you shall observe this thing
as an ordinance for you, and your
sons forever.
25 And it will come to pass, when
you come to the land which hwhy will
give you, just as He promised, that
you shall keep this service.
26 And it shall be, when your
children say to you, What do you
mean by this service?
27 That you shall say, It is the
Passover sacrifice of hwhy, who
passed over the batiym (houses) of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) in
Mitzrayim (Egypt), when He struck
the Mitzrim (Egyptians), and
delivered our households. And the
people bowed their heads and
worshiped.
28 Then the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) went away, and did as hwhy
had commanded Musa (Moses) and
Aharon, so they did.
29 And it came to pass, that at
midnight hwhy struck all the bechor
(firstborn) in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), from the bechor (firstborn) of
Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the
bechor (firstborn) of the captive who
was in the dungeon; and all the
bechor (firstborn) of livestock.
30 And Pharaoh rose in the night,
he, all his servants, and all the
Mitzrim (Egyptians); and there was a
great cry in Mitzrayim (Egypt), for
there was not a Beyth (house) where
there was not one dead.
31 Then he called for Musa
(Moses) and Aharon by night, and
3 Satan, who kills and murders people, was
allowed, that night, to destroy the bechor
(firstborn).
 Shemoth (Exodus)
said, Rise and go out from among my
people, both you and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); and go, serve
hwhy, as you have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your
herds, as you have said, and be
gone; and bless me also.1
33 And the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
urged the people, that they might
send them out of the land in haste;
for they said, We shall all be dead.
34 And the people took their dough
before it was chametz (leaven),
having their kneading bowls bound
up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) had done according to the
word of Musa (Moses); and they had
asked from the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
articles of silver, articles of gold, and
clothing:
36 And hwhy gave the people
favour in the sight of the Mitzrim
(Egyptians), so that they granted
them what they requested. Thus they
plundered the Mitzrim (Egyptians).
37 Then the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) journeyed from Rameses to
Succoth, about six hundred thousand
men on foot, besides children.2
1 Pharaoh being an unbeliever even asks for
a blessing. Believers should bless those who
ask.
2 The figure comes close to four million when
you consider that the Israelite people were
Biblically polygamous with an average of
eight wives and fifty two children in each
family. Please see articles under title Biblical
marriages on www.abrahamic-faith.com.

38 A mixed multitude3 went up with
them also; and flocks, and herds, and
a great deal of livestock.
39 And they baked matzah
(unleavened) cakes of the dough
which they had brought out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), for it was not
chametz (leaven); because they were
driven out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
could not wait, nor had they prepared
provisions for themselves.
40 Now the sojourning of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), who
lived in Mitzrayim (Egypt), was four
hundred and thirty years.4
41 And it came to pass at the end
of the four hundred and thirty years
on that very same day it came to
pass that all the armies of hwhy went
out from the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).5
42 This is a night of much
observance to hwhy for bringing
them out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt). This is the night for hwhy, a
solemn observance for all the
3 There were also gentiles from Egypt joining
the Exodus; they had to get circumcised to
join the Passover meal.
4 Abraham had Isaac twenty-five years after
the prophecy was given to him Abraham
stayed in Charan five years. Birth of Isaac to
birth of Jacob 60 years. Jacob going down to
Egypt add 130 years Beresheeth (Gen) 47:9.
Israel coming out of Egypt 210 years. The
sum total is 430 years. Ma'aseh Schlichim 7:6
counts this period of 400 years, which is
taken from the birth of Isaac, to the coming
out of Israel, this makes it 400 years so both
accounts are correct.
5 Note YHWH refers to Israel as His armies, a
very special designation indeed.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
throughout their generations.1
43 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses) and Aharon, This is the
ordinance of the Passover: No
foreigner shall eat it.
44 But every man's servant who is
bought for money, when you have
circumcised him, then he may eat it.2
45 A Ger-Toshav (foreigner) and a
hired servant shall not eat it.3
46 In one Beyth (house) it shall be
eaten; you shall not carry any of the
flesh outside the Beyth (house), nor
shall you break one of its bones.4
47 All the congregation5 of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall keep it.
48 And when a foreigner dwells
with you, and wants to keep the
Passover to hwhy; let all his males
perform brit-milah (circumcision), and
1 A good time to gather and reflect how
YHWH brought our elders out of Egypt. The
Jewish people sit-up all night talking and
praying over this event.
2 The people who partake in the meal of the
Passover must be circumcised or else it is a
sin to eat the meal. Many Pastors’ are making
this mistake in Christian circles of allowing
uncircumcised men to partake of the meal.
3 See footnote Acts 10:22 in the AF Nazarene
Renewed Covenant Studies Scriptures. A
Ger-Toshav is a person who fears YHWH but
has not yet circumcised therefore he cannot
partake of the Passover meal.
4 Israel, or you are an impostor, hence the
Remez; none of Yahushua’s bones were
broken.
5 The entire congregation means all the
people both gentile who are grafted in to
Israel and those who are natives must keep
the Passover. There is no such thing as a
gentile church in YHWH’s sight. There is only
one assembly comprised of Jewish and non-
Jewish believers called Israel.
145
then let him come near and keep it;
and he shall be as a native of the
land: for no uncircumcised person
shall eat it.
49 One Torah shall be for the
native-born, and for the foreigner who
dwells among you.6
50 Thus all the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) did; as hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses) and
Aharon, so they did.
51 And it came to pass on that
very same day that hwhy brought the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
according to their armies.

11 And it shall be when hwhy
brings you into the land of the
Canaanites, as He swore to you and
your ahvot (fathers), and gives it to
you,
12 That you shall set-apart to hwhy
all that opens the womb, and every
bechor (firstborn) that comes from an
animal which you have; the males
shall be hwhy's.
13 And every bechor (firstborn) of a
donkey you shall redeem with a
lamb; and if you will not redeem it,
then you shall break its neck: and all
the bechor (firstborn) of man among
your children you shall redeem.
14 So it shall be when your son
asks you in time to come, saying,
What is this? That you shall say to
him, By the strength of His hand
hwhy brought us out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), out of the Beyth (house) of
slavery:
15 And it came to pass, when
Pharaoh was stubborn about letting
us go, that hwhy killed all the bechor
(firstborn) in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), both the bechor (firstborn) of
man, and the bechor (firstborn) of
beast: therefore I sacrifice to hwhy all
males that opens the womb, being
males; but all the bechor (firstborn) of
my children I redeem.1
16 It shall be as a sign on your
hand2 and as frontlets between your
eyes: for by strength of the hand of
hwhy brought us out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).

in Egypt, where they worshipped their first
born children, and first born animals.

as the Jewish people today. These will act as
the sign. Read Deut 6:8.

17 And it came to pass, when
Pharaoh had let the people go, that
Elohim did not lead them by way of
the land of the Plushtim (Philistines),
although that was near; for Elohim
said, Lest perhaps the people change
their minds when they see war, and
return to Mitzrayim (Egypt):
18 But Elohim led the people
around, by way of the wilderness of
Sea of Reeds: and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) went up in orderly
ranks out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
19 And Musa (Moses) took the
bones of Yosef with him: for he had
placed the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) under solemn oath, saying,
Elohim will surely visit you; and you
shall carry up my bones from here
with you.
20 And they took their journey from
Succoth, and camped in Etham, at
the edge of the wilderness.
21 And hwhy went before them by
day in a pillar of cloud, to lead the
way; and by night in a pillar3 of fire, to
give them light; to go by day and
night:
22 He did not take away the pillar
of cloud by day, or the pillar of fire by
night, from before the people.
3 This was Yahushua the Messiah appearing
as the pillar of cloud by day, and fire by
night.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
Chapter 14
1 And hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Speak to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) that they turn and
camp before Pi Hahiroth, between
Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal
Zephon: you shall camp before it by
the sea.
3 For Pharaoh will say of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), They
are confused by the land; the
wilderness has trapped them in.
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart,
so that he will pursue them; and I will
gain honour over Pharaoh, and over
all his army; that the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) may know that I am
hwhy. And they did so.
5 And it was told the king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) that the people had
fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and
his servants was turned against the
people, and they said, Why have we
done this, that we have let Yah’sar’el
(Israel) go from serving us?
6 And he made ready his chariot,
and took his people with him:
7 And he took six hundred choice
chariots, and all the chariots of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), with captains over
every one of them.
8 And hwhy hardened the heart of
Pharaoh king of Mitzrayim (Egypt),
and he pursued the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) went out with
boldness.1
1 This will prove an important point that it is
not by miracles that people come to faith.
Pharaoh had seen many miracles, and each
time considered them; but he only finally let
Israel go because YHWH is the true Elohim.
However, as can be seen here, his heart was

9 But the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
pursued them, all the horses and
chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen,
and his army, and overtook them
camping by the sea, beside Pi
Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 And when Pharaoh drew near,
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
lifted their eyes, and, behold, the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) marched after
them; and they were extremely
afraid: and the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) cried out to hwhy.
11 And they said to Musa (Moses),
Because there were no graves in
Mitzrayim (Egypt), have you taken us
away to die in the wilderness? Why
have you so dealt with us, to bring us
up out of Mitzrayim (Egypt)?
12 Is this not the word that we told
you in Mitzrayim (Egypt), saying, Let
us alone that we may serve the
Mitzrim (Egyptians)? For it would
have been better for us to serve the
Mitzrim (Egyptians), than that we
should die in the wilderness.
13 And Musa (Moses) said to the
people, Do not be afraid, stand still,
and see the salvation of hwhy, which
He will accomplish for you today: for
the Mitzrim (Egyptians) whom you
see today, you shall see again no
more forever.2
15 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Why do you cry to Me? Tell
still a heart of stone, we see this in many
Christian churches, where people have a
heart of stone, refusing to obey Torah, and
relying on, even chasing after, miracles. The
King Messiah warned against this type of
attitude and said it will exist in the last
generation to come. Matt 16:4.

need to defend Him.

the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to
go forward:
16 But lift up your rod, and stretch
out your hand over the sea, and
divide it: and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall go on dry
ground through the midst of the sea.
17 And I, indeed, will harden the
hearts of the Mitzrim (Egyptians), and
they shall follow them: and I will gain
honour over Pharaoh, and over all his
army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
18 And the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
shall know that I am hwhy, when I
have gained honour for Myself over
Pharaoh, his chariots, and his
horsemen.
19 And the Malakh-Elohim,1 who
went before the camp of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), moved and went behind
them; and the pillar of cloud went
from before them, and stood behind
them:
20 And it came between the camp
of the Mitzrim (Egyptians) and the
camp of Yah’sar’el (Israel); and it was
a cloud and darkness to the one, and
it gave light by night to the other: so
that the one did not come near the
other all that night.
21 And Musa (Moses) stretched
out his hand over the sea; and hwhy
caused the sea to go back by a
strong east wind all that night, and
made the sea into dry land, and the
mayim (water) were divided.2
1 Megaton, and Memra, the Word who is,
YHWH the King Messiah.
2 We know from the Scroll of Yashar that the
waters were divided into twelve pathways,
and the water was frozen on each side, so
each tribe of Israel could cross over on its
own path. There was order and not disorder.
149
22 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) went into the midst of the sea
on the dry ground: and the mayim
(water) were a wall3 to them on their
right hand, and on their left.
23 And the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
pursued, and went after them into the
midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's
horses, his chariots, and his
horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, in the
morning watch that hwhy looked
down upon the army of the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) through the pillar of fire
and cloud, and He troubled the army
of the Mitzrim (Egyptians),
25 And He took off their chariot
wheels, so that they drove them with
difficulty and the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
said, Let us flee from the face of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); for hwhy fights for
them against the Mitzrim (Egyptians).
26 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Stretch out your hand over
the sea, that the mayim (water) may
come back upon the Mitzrim
(Egyptians), on their chariots, and on
their horsemen.
27 And Musa (Moses) stretched
out his hand over the sea, and when
the morning appeared the sea
returned to its full depth; and the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) fled into it; and
hwhy overthrew the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) in the midst of the sea.
28 And the mayim (water)
returned, and covered the chariots,
the horsemen, and all the army of
Pharaoh that came into the sea after

them; not so much as one of them
remained.
29 But the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) had walked on dry land in the
midst of the sea; and the mayim
(water) were a wall to them on their
right hand, and on their left.1
30 So hwhy saved Yah’sar’el
(Israel) that day out of the hand of the
Mitzrim (Egyptians); and Yah’sar’el
(Israel) saw the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
dead on the seashore.2
31 Thus Yah’sar’el (Israel) saw the
great work which hwhy had done in
Mitzrayim (Egypt): and the people
feared hwhy, and believed hwhy,
and His servant Musa (Moses).
Chapter 15
1 Then Musa (Moses) and the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) sang
this song to hwhy, and spoke,
saying, I will sing to hwhy, for He has
triumphed gloriously: the horse and
its rider He has thrown into the sea.
2 hy (YAH) is my strength and shir
(song), and He has become my
Yahshuah (Salvation: Deliverance):
He is my El (The Power), and I will
hallel (praise) Him; my father’s
Elohim, and I will exalt Him.
1This is a drash (allegorical) picture of the
narrow gate, which Yahushua also described.
Many in the world and in churches are falling
into the sea, which is the wide gate. Torah
obedient believers continue to walk in the
narrow pathway opened by YHWH.
2 Now did YHWH save Israel just to send
them to hell? Clearly not, their physical
salvation leads to the eternal salvation, being
shown forth by their fruits. Problems occur
with men, not YHWH. Please see footnote
Leviticus 18:5.

He has cast into the sea: his chosen
captains also are drowned in the Sea

5 The depths have covered them:
they sank to the bottom like a stone.
6 Your right hand,4 O hwhy, has
become glorious in power: Your right
hand, O hwhy, has dashed the
enemy in pieces.
7 And in the greatness of Your
Excellence You have overthrown
those who rose against You: You
sent forth Your wrath, which
consumed them like stubble.
8 And with the blast of Your
nostrils the waters were gathered
together, the streams of water stood
upright like a heap, the depths froze
in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I
will overtake, I will divide the spoil;
my desire shall be satisfied on them;
I will draw my sword, my hand shall
destroy them.

sea covered them: they sank like
lead in the mighty waters.

receive reverence and praises, doing
amazing wonders?

redeemed: You have guided them in
Your strength to Your set-apart
habitation.
14 The people will hear, and be
afraid: sorrow will take hold of the
inhabitants of Plushtim (Philistines).
15 Then the chiefs of Edom will be
dismayed; the mighty men of Moab,
trembling will take hold of them; all
the inhabitants of Canaan will melt
away.1
16 Fear and dread will fall on
them; by the greatness of Your Arm
they will be as still as a stone; till
Your people pass over, O hwhy, till
the people pass over, whom You
have purchased.2
17 You will bring them in, and plant
them in the mountain of Your
inheritance, in the place, O hwhy,
which You have made for Your own
dwelling, the Set-Apart Place, O
Adon hy (YAH), which Your hands
have established.
18 hwhy shall reign forever and
ever.
19 For the horse of Pharaoh went
in with his chariots and his horsemen
into the sea, and hwhy brought back
the waters of the sea upon them; but
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
went on dry land in the midst of the
sea.
20 Then Miriam the prophetess,
the sister of Aharon, took the timbrel
1This
is future prophecy when Edom, that is
not only Jordan but all of the Arabians and
the Muslim empire will be struck by YHWH
and they will be really afraid of YHWH.

blood; but the demonstrative portion of this
prophecy took place when Yahushua was
hung on the Tree, and bled to death. We are
purchased by His blood, Acts 20:28.
151
in her hand; and all the women went
out after her with timbrels and with
dances.
21 And Miriam answered them,
Sing to hwhy, for He has triumphed
gloriously; the horse and it’s rider He
has thrown into the sea.
22 So Musa (Moses) brought
Yah’sar’el (Israel) from the Red Sea,
and they went out into the Wilderness
of Shur; and they went three days in
the wilderness, and found no mayim
(water).
23 And when they came to Marah,
they could not drink the waters of
Marah, for they were bitter: therefore
the name of it was called Marah.
24 And the people complained
against Musa (Moses), saying, What
shall we drink?
25 And he cried out to hwhy; and
hwhy showed him a tree,3 which
when he cast it into the mayim
(waters), the mayim (waters) were
made sweet: there He made a statute
and an ordinance for them, and there
He tested them,
26 And said, If you will diligently
heed the voice of hwhy your Elohim,
and will do what is right in His sight,
and will give ear to His
commandments, and keep all His
3The tree is symbolic of Yahushua being cast
down for our sins, and hung on the tree, that
through Him we may find happiness and
salvation. Without Him we will have bitterness
and strife in our lives. The tree that was cast
into the water was a bitter one, according to
the Targum of Jonathan, so the miracle was
not that the tree was sweet, and could
sweeten the water; but that YHWH did a
miracle in time and space to show His glory.
This is drash of the Messiah who had to go
through bitterness to give us salvation and
happiness.

statutes, I will put none of the
diseases on you, which I have
brought on the Mitzrim (Egyptians):1
for I am hwhy who heals you.
27 Then they came to Elim, where
there were twelve wells of mayim
(waters), and seventy palm etzim
(trees): so they camped there by the
mayim (waters).
Chapter 16
1 And they journeyed from Elim,
and all the congregation of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) came to
the wilderness of Sin, which is
between Elim and SiniYah (Sinai),2
on the fifteenth day of the second
month after they departed from the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
2 Then the whole congregation of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
complained against Musa (Moses)
and Aharon in the wilderness:
3 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) said to them, Oh that we had
died by the hand of hwhy in the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), when we sat by
the pots of meat, and when we ate
lechem (bread) to the full; for you
have brought us out into this
wilderness, to kill this whole
assembly with hunger.
1 If you want to be safe from the disease that
the Egyptians had to experience, then you
must be Torah obedient. We cannot walk
limping in Torah, with one foot in the world,
and one in the Church, refusing to obey
Torah. Our assemblies’ first motto must be
obedience to YHWH and His voice, which is
declared in the Torah of Moses.
2 YHWH identifies the Mountain by His Set-
Apart Name, it is pronounced Sini’yah, and
not Sinai, equivalent to the Mountain of Mar-
Yah, where Abraham was told to go to
sacrifice Isaac.
152
4 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Behold, I will rain lechem
(bread) from shamayim (heavens) for
you; and the people shall go out and
gather a certain quota every day, that
I may test them, whether they will
walk in My Torah, or not.3
5 And it shall be, on the sixth day
that they shall prepare what they
bring in; and it shall be twice as much
as they gather daily.4
6 Then Musa (Moses) and Aharon
said to all the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), At evening, you shall know
that hwhy has brought you out of the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt):
7 And in the morning, you shall
see the glory of hwhy; for He hears
your complaints against hwhy; and
what are we, that you complain
against us?
8 And Musa (Moses) said, This
shall be seen, when hwhy gives you
meat to eat in the evening, and in the
morning lechem (bread) to the full; for
hwhy hears your complaints which
you make against Him: and what are
we? Your complaints are not against
us, but against hwhy.
9 And Musa (Moses) spoke to
Aharon, Say to all the congregation
of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
3 YHWH tests His people by seeing if they
obey His voice, sadly many still refuse to
believe. They pick and choose which
commandment they should obey, and which
they should not.
4 If we obey YHWH, He will give us twice on
the sixth day, meaning shut down your
businesses from Friday sunset to Saturday
sunset. This is a mandatory commandment,
not your choice. YHWH will send double to
cover for the one day loss, and it will be no
loss at all.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
Come near before hwhy: for He has
heard your complaints.
10 Now it came to pass, as Aharon
spoke to the whole congregation of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), that
they looked toward the wilderness,
and, behold, the glory of hwhy
appeared in the cloud.
11 And hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), saying,
12 I have heard the complaints of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
speak to them, saying, At twilight you
shall eat meat, and in the morning
you shall be filled with lechem
(bread); and you shall know that I am
hwhy your Elohim.
13 So it was, that quails came up
at evening, and covered the camp;
and in the morning the dew lay all
around the camp.
14 And when the layer of dew
lifted, there, on the surface of the
wilderness was a small round thing,
as fine as frost1 on the ground.
15 And when the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) saw it, they said to
one another, This is manna: for they
were not sure what it was. And Musa
(Moses) said to them, This is the
lechem (bread) which hwhy has
given you to eat.
16 This is the thing which hwhy
has commanded, Let every man
gather it according to each one's
need, one omer2 for each person,
according to the number of persons;
let every man take for those who are
in his tent.
1 Manna was like coriander seed and sweet
like frosted flakes.
2 Two quarts approximate about two litres.
153
17 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) did so, and gathered, some
more, some less.
18 So when they measured it by
omers, he who gathered much had
nothing over, and he who gathered
little had no lack; every man had
gathered according to each one's
need.
19 And Musa (Moses) said, Let no
one leave any of it till morning.
20 Notwithstanding they did not
listen to Musa (Moses); but some of
them left part of it until morning, and
it bred worms, and stank: and Musa
(Moses) was angry with them.
21 So they gathered it every
morning, every man according to his
need: and when the sun became hot,
it melted.
22 And so it was, on the sixth day
that they gathered twice as much
lechem (bread), two omers for each
one: and all the rulers of the
congregation came and told Musa
(Moses).
23 And he said to them, This is
what hwhy has said, Tomorrow is a
Sabbath rest, a set-apart Sabbath to
hwhy; bake what you will bake
today,3 and boil what you will boil;
and lay up for yourselves all that
remains, to be kept until morning.
3 There is to be no lighting of fire for cooking
on the Sabbath, so all cooking must be done
before the start of the Sabbath, Friday sunset
until Saturday sunset. You can warm up food
cooked on the previous day, not by lighting a
gas fire; but on an electric hot plate, or in
microwave oven, or have food the whole
Sabbath warmed in a crock pot that runs with
electric. No business transactions must be
executed on the Sabbath either. It must be
kept a set-apart day for YHWH.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
24 So they laid it up till morning, as
Musa (Moses) commanded: and it
did not stink, nor were there any
worms in it.
25 Then Musa (Moses) said, Eat
that today; for today is a Sabbath to
hwhy: today you will not find it in the
field.
26 Six days you shall gather it; but
on the seventh day, which is the
Sabbath, there will be none.
27 Now it happened, that some of
the people went out on the seventh
day to gather, but they found none.
28 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), How long do you refuse to
keep My commandments and My
Torot (instructions)?1
29 See, for hwhy has given you the
Sabbath, therefore He gives you on
the sixth day lechem (bread) for two
days; let every man remain in his
place, let no man go out of his place
on the seventh day.
30 So the people rested on the
seventh day.
31 And the Beyth (house) of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) called its name
Manna: and it was like white
coriander seed, white; and the taste
1 A rarely used word pointing to the two
Torahs. YHWH gave Moses two Torah’s one
that he wrote down and another which was
communicated by mouth called the oral
Torah. This was kept in Israel for Israel and
always communicated orally. Even the
Messiah Yahushua followed many of these
laws and did not reject them since He gave
them. Please see further footnotes on the oral
Torah in Nehemiah 13 and Dani’el chapter
1:12 where even the prophets had no
problem with the oral laws accept modern
Christianity which is being taught many
falsehoods regarding the Jewish people and
their Torahs.

of it was like wafers made with
honey.2
32 And Musa (Moses) said, This is
the thing which hwhy has
commands, Fill an omer with it to be
kept for your generations; that they
may see the lechem (bread) with
which I fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
33 And Musa (Moses) said to
Aharon, Take a pot, and put an omer
of manna in it, and lay it up before
hwhy, to be kept for your
generations.
34 As hwhy commanded Musa
(Moses), so Aharon laid it up before
the Testimony, to be kept.
35 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) ate manna forty years, until
they came to an inhabited land; they
ate manna, until they came to the
border of the land of Canaan.
36 Now an omer is one-tenth of an
ephah.3
Chapter 17
1 And all the congregation of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) set out
on their journey from the wilderness
of Sin, according to the command of
hwhy, and camped in Rephidim: and
there was no mayim (water) for the
people to drink.
2 Therefore the people contended
with Musa (Moses), and said, Give us
mayim (water), that we may drink.
And Musa (Moses) said to them, Why
2 This probably tasted like frosted sugar
flakes, which you can find in supermarkets for
breakfast.

do you contend with me? Why do you
test hwhy?
3 And the people thirsted there for
mayim (water); and the people
complained against Musa (Moses),
and said, Why is it you have brought
us up out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), to kill
us and our children and our livestock
with thirst?
4 So Musa (Moses) cried out to
hwhy, saying, What shall I do with
this people? They are almost ready
to stone me.1
5 And hwhy said to Musa (Moses),
Go on before the people, and take
with you some of the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); also take in your
hand your rod, with which you struck
the river, and go.
6 Behold, I will stand before you
there on the rock in Horeb; and you
shall strike the rock, and mayim
(water) will come out of it, that the
people may drink. And Musa (Moses)
did so in the sight of the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 So he called the name of the
place Massah,2 and Meribah,3
because of the contention of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
because they tested hwhy, saying, Is
hwhy among us, or not?

with Yah’sar’el (Israel) in Rephidim.

10 So Yahushua (Joshua) did as
Musa (Moses) said to him, and
fought with Amalek: and
Musa(Moses), Aharon, and Hur went
up to the top of the hill.
11 And so it was, when Musa
(Moses) held up his hand, that
Yah’sar’el (Israel) prevailed: and
when he let down his hand, Amalek
prevailed.
12 But Musa (Moses) hands
became heavy; so they took a stone,
and put it under him, and he sat on it;
and Aharon and Hur supported his
hands, one on one side, and the
other on the other side; and his
hands were steady until the going

defeated Amalek and his people with
the edge of the sword.

that Elohim had done for Musa
(Moses), and for Yah’sar’el (Israel)
His people, that hwhy had brought

2 They had a quarrel over the circumcision of
the child, after which Zipporah went to her
father’s house, and here she returns back,
realising her mistake of refusing to allow
Moses to circumcise their son. Moses did not
divorce his wife as many have thought, and
he was married a Cushite woman who is not
Zipporah. Zipporah was his second wife; but

with Moses when he left Egypt. See article on

father, was my help, and delivered
me from the sword of Pharaoh:
5 And Yah’thro (Jethro), Musa
(Moses) father-in-law, came with his
sons and his wife to Musa (Moses) in
the wilderness, where he was
encamped at the mountain of Elohim:
6 And he had said to Musa
(Moses), I your father-in-law Yah’thro
(Jethro) am coming to you, with your
wife, and her two sons with her.
7 And Musa (Moses) went out to
meet his father-in-law, bowed down,
and kissed him; and they asked each
other about their well-being; and they
went into the tent.
8 And Musa (Moses) told his
father-in-law all that hwhy had done
to Pharaoh and to the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) for Yah’sar’el (Israel)'s
sake, all the hardship that had come
upon them on the way,3 and how
hwhy had delivered them.
9 And Yah’thro (Jethro) rejoiced
for all the good which hwhy had done
for Yah’sar’el (Israel), whom He had
delivered out of the hand of the
Mitzrim (Egyptians).
10 And Yah’thro (Jethro) said,
Blessed be hwhy, who has delivered
you out of the hand of the Mitzrim
(Egyptians), and out of the hand of
Pharaoh, and who has delivered the
people from under the hand of the
Mitzrim (Egyptians).
11 Now I know that hwhy is
greater than all the elohim: for in the
very thing in which they behaved
proudly He was above them.
3 When you follow YHWH, hardships will
come; but YHWH will deliver you through all
of these, as they test your faith, and
strengthen and refine you, like gold in a
burning fire.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
12 Then Yah’thro (Jethro), Musa
(Moses) father-in-law, took a burnt
offering and other sacrifices to offer
to Elohim: and Aharon came, with all
the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel), to eat
lechem (bread) with Musa (Moses)
father-in-law before Elohim.1
13 And so it was on the next day,
that Musa (Moses) sat to judge the
people: and the people stood before
Musa (Moses) from morning until
evening.
14 So when Musa (Moses) father-
in-law saw all that he did for the
people, he said, What is this thing
that you are doing for the people?
Why do you sit alone, and all the
people stand before you from
morning until evening?
15 And Musa (Moses) said to his
father-in-law, Because the people
come to me to inquire of Elohim:
16 When they have a difficulty,
they come to me; and I judge
between one and another, and I
make known the statutes of Elohim,
and His Torot (instructions).
17 So Musa (Moses) father-in-law
said to him, The thing that you do is
not good.
18 Both you, and these people,
who are with you will surely wear
yourselves out: for this thing is too
much for you; you are not able to
perform it by yourself.
19 Listen now to my voice, I will
give you counsel, and Elohim will be
with you: Stand before Elohim for the
people, so that you may bring the
difficulties to Elohim:
20 And you shall teach them the
statutes and the Torot (instructions),
1 It is a common custom in the East, to invite
guests to a dinner party as in the West.
157
and show them the way2 in which
they must walk, and the work they
must do.
21 Moreover you shall select from
all the people able men, such as fear
Elohim, men of truth, hating
covetousness; and place such over
them, to be rulers of thousands,
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties,
and rulers of tens:
22 And let them judge the people
at all times: then it will be, that every
great matter they shall bring to you,
but every small matter they
themselves shall judge: so it will be
easier for you, and they will bear the
burden with you.
23 If you do this thing, and Elohim
so commands you, then you will be
able to endure, and all this people will
also go to their place in peace
(shalom).
24 So Musa (Moses) heeded the
voice of his father-in-law, and did all
that he had said.
25 And Musa (Moses) chose able
men out of all Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
made them heads over the people,
rulers of thousands, rulers of
hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers
of tens.
26 And they judged the people at
all times: the hard cases they brought
to Musa (Moses), but they judged
every small case themselves.
27 Then Musa (Moses) sent away
his father-in-law; and he went his way
to his own province.3
2Exactly what Yahushua said, ‘I am The
Way.’ There is only one way to do the correct
Halacha (commandments), and that is by
YHWH’s Torah.

 Shemoth (Exodus)
Chapter 19
1 In the third month, after the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) had
gone out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), the same day they came to
the wilderness of Sini’yah (Sinai).
2 For they had departed from
Rephidim, and had come to the
wilderness of Sini’yah (Sinai),1 and
camped in the wilderness; and
Yah’sar’el (Israel) camped there
before the mountain.
3 And Musa (Moses) went up to
Elohim, and hwhy called to him from
the mountain, saying, Thus you shall
say to the Beyth (house) of Ya’acob
(Jacob), and tell the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel);
4 You have seen what I did to the
Mitzrim (Egyptians), and how I bore
you on eagles' wings, and brought
you to Myself.
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed,
obey My voice, and keep My
covenant, then you shall be a special
possession2 to Me above all people:
for all the earth is Mine:
6 And you shall be to Me a
kingdom of priests, and a set-apart
nation. These are the words which
you shall speak to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
a province of Arabia; and not as another
country which would be incorrect.
1 They were in the desert of Saudi Arabia,
this region is known by YHWH’s name, and
any wonder why Shaitan (Satan) wanted to
have this place for himself, erecting a new
religion over this land!
2 Israel was to be special and separate from
all the nations. Many erroneous pastors teach
that the earth is controlled by Satan; but the
scriptures are clear. The earth belongs to
YHWH; and Satan only floats in the air,
basically he controls nothing.
158
7 So Musa (Moses) came and
called for the elders of the people,
and laid before them all these words
which hwhy commanded him.
8 Then all the people answered
together, and said, All that hwhy has
spoken we will do.3 And Musa
(Moses) brought back the words of
the people to hwhy.
9 And hwhy said to Musa (Moses),
Behold, I come to you in the thick
cloud, that the people may hear when
I speak with you, and believe you
forever. And Musa (Moses) told the
words of the people to hwhy.
10 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Go to the people, and
consecrate them today and
tomorrow, and let them wash their
clothes,4
11 And let them be ready for the
third day: for on the third day hwhy
will come down upon Mount Sini’yah
(Sinai) in the sight of all the people.
12 You shall set bounds for the
people all around, saying, Take heed
to yourselves, that you do not go up
to the mountain, or touch its base:
whoever touches the mountain shall
surely be put to death:
3 Note: Israel did not hear all the Word, the
next sentence tells us that they heard the
Word afterwards. This was a real leap of faith
that they said ‘yes’ first, and then heard the
‘Word.’ This is why Israel was to be special.
These were the Twin Brides of YHWH, the
Two Houses of Israel. The North and the
South united together.
4 There is a mystery of the marriage of
YHWH to Israel; when the Bride says ‘I do’
and then has a mikvah (ritual bath), just like
in the Hebrew marriage custom, when they
are under the chupah, which here is the
Mountain of YHWH, Mount Sini’yah.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
13 Not a hand shall touch it, but he
shall surely be stoned, or shot with
an arrow; whether man, or beast, it
shall not live: when the shofar sounds
long,1 they shall come near the
mountain.
14 Then Musa (Moses) went down
from the mountain to the people, and
sanctified the people; and they
washed their clothes.
15 And he said to the people, Be
ready for the third day: do not come
near your wives.2
16 Then it came to pass on the
third day in the morning, that there
was thunderings3 and lightnings, and
a thick cloud on the mountain, and
the sound of the shofar was very

the Feast of Weeks, which is Shavuot, and
also known as Pentecost. The long shofar
blast is the sound of the wedding feast.
2 Any sexual contact with the spouses was
strictly off-limits. This is not because sleeping
with your spouse is bad; but because it would
make you ritually unclean, and you had to be
clean to stand before YHWH, hence even the
clothes they wore had to be washed.
3 Many ancient rabbis suggest that here, the
thundering were not just ordinary thundering;
but they were sounds, as in the seventy
languages of the earth, which the rest of the
world heard. The voice of YHWH spread to all
four corners, in the language of the various
peoples, as it went out to them. However,
they refused to keep the Torah, and Israel
was the only nation on the earth that said,
‘We will do, and hear.’ They heard after; but
said, we will do, first. Shabbat 88 b - The
school of Rabbi Ishmael taught: Behold My
word is like fire, declares YHWH; and like a
hammer that breaks the rock into pieces, just
as a hammer is divided into many sparks, so
every single word that went forth from the
Holy One, blessed be He, split up into seventy
languages.

loud; so that all the people who were
in the camp trembled.
17 And Musa (Moses) brought the
people out of the camp to meet with
Elohim; and they stood underneath4
the mountain.
18 Now Mount Sini’yah (Sinai) was
completely in smoke, because hwhy
descended upon it in fire: it’s smoke
ascended like the smoke of a
furnace, and the whole mountain
quaked greatly.
19 And when the blast of the
shofar sounded5 long, and became
louder and louder, Musa (Moses)
spoke, and Elohim answered him by
voice.
20 Then hwhy came down upon
Mount Sini’yah (Sinai), on the top of
the mountain: and hwhy called Musa
4 The Hebrew phrase b’takhteet ha’har
means, under the mountain, so it was a
chupah, just like, in a Jewish Hebrew
wedding. Israel here is the dual Brides, the
House of Israel and the House of Yahudah.
The separation was to be shown much later;
but in YHWH’s eyes it was already done, so
we see two brides here, not one as commonly
thought. Ye’chezk’el (Eze) 23:2, Yirmeyah
(Jer) 3:8.

obedience, without complaining and whining
about it, as the Israelites had done in the
wilderness. They were to have order in their
lives, and not disorder. The call of the shofar
was also one of the war calls of the kingdom,
to make yourself ready, to remove dross, to
prepare for a road ahead of obedience. To
show other nations how to be obedient to the
word, through YHWH’s voice. All the nations

1 One traditional custom of the East is not to
look at your bridegroom, we see this here,
YHWH warns not to look at Him. Technically,
it is the Bridegroom YHWH who is supposed
to lift the veil of the Bride, and not vice versa.
This custom is carried in both Hinduism and
Islam because it is ancient and based on the
Torah. Also the custom is that the bridegroom
enters the room of the bride at midnight, and
we find Yahushua saying at midnight: the cry
is heard that the bridegroom is here.
Matthew 25:6 is the perfect picture of this
custom, which is maintained by Hindus and
Muslims; but the ones who are supposed to
maintain it, have no idea about it. And they
go about as if there is no tomorrow,
completely mixing heathen customs with their
own.
2 The teachers amongst the saints need to
heed this command, as many have one foot
in the world and one in Torah, or none in
Torah at all.
3 This is also seen in Islamic culture,
boundaries are set for the marriage place,
including where the guests will sit, and then
the marriage is conducted. Many of the
precepts of Islam are derived from Torah.

the priests and the people break
through to come up to hwhy, lest He
break out against them.

5 Any statues or pictures of Yahushua or
YHWH are forbidden, and a sin. Having any
statues for worship such as: Mary or other
man made images, is also a sin, and must be
avoided in the body of Israel. Many Christians
have in their homes pictures of Yahushua and
the twelve disciples eating the last Passover
meal. This is an image of the One from
heaven, and a sin to carry in your home, you
must discard it and repent of this sin.

their fathers had made, and making the curse

of obedience.

3 The Hebrew word shav means, to make it
empty, to bring another false elohim and put
his name upon YHWH’s; and call that false
deity Elohim, or to falsify his name.

mentioned as number four, because it is a
covenant sign in the Ten. Anyone who claims

Sabbath will have a very lowly status if
allowed to enter the kingdom. It’s not just
about reciting a four line salvation prayer,
and then doing what you like, as in the
present is erroneously taught in church/man’s
dogma.

3 Many, many nations sacrificed to their
elohim, they took off their clothes and were
at times, completely naked before their
version of elohim. In pre-Islamic Arabia the
hajj (pilgrimage) was performed completely
naked. YHWH forbids us to show any
nakedness before him. So, the Israelite
priests wore an under-garment that would
not allow any of their nakedness to be
revealed. In the worship of Baalpeor, the
priests also went naked. It is unfortunate that
today in many churches, some women, who
at times are the pastor’s daughter, are
wearing inappropriate attire revealing their
flesh, and setting a bad example. Such
behavior in the past would be considered
nothing short of whoring, and punishable by
death, hence these people need to be aware;
YHWH will not take this sin lightly.
4 This is equivalent to today doing a contract
with an employer and not the typical slavery
we saw in the West where the black people
were enslaved. The black slavery would never
be allowed in the Scriptures as it was a gross
violation of human rights.

wife, and she has borne him sons or
daughters, the wife and her children
shall be her master's, and he shall go
out by himself.1
5 And if the servant plainly says, I
love my master, my wife, and my
children; I will not go out free,

him to the judges. He shall also bring
him to the door, or to the doorpost,
and his master shall pierce his ear

to be a female servant, she shall not
go out as the male servants do.

sell her to a foreign people, since he
has dealt deceitfully with her.

son, he shall deal with her according
to the custom of daughters.3

shall not diminish her food, her
clothing, and her marriage rights.4

three for her, then she shall go out
free, without paying money.
12 He who strikes a man so that
he dies shall surely be put to death.
13 And if he did not lie in wait, but
Elohim delivered him into his hand,
then I will appoint for you a place
where he may flee.
14 And if a man acts with
premeditation against his neighbour,
to kill him by treachery, you shall take
him from My altar, that he may die.

or his mother5 shall surely be put to

sells him, or if he is found in his hand,
shall surely be put to death.
order for him to take a second wife he would
have to do the same for the second. The
model in Torah was for the second wife to
have a separate tent meaning another house
in our society today. He could not take her
into the same house and expect the first to
accept this as the normal circumstance.
Women are very territorial creatures and no
woman will allow the second wife to come
live at the family home. Whoever will do this
is only asking for disaster to befall upon him.
In Gen 12:8, Abraham setup Sarah’s tent first
then his own, you will not find this in the
English because the idea is conveyed in the
Hebrew text. Read footnote Gen 12:8.
5 On earth this is the highest way of
respecting our parents; disobedient children
who hate their parents or lift their hands will
not receive any blessing from YHWH. YHWH
first then parents, even if the parents are not
in the Hebrew faith they are to be respected
and not spoken against. The word strike is
son or daughter defrauded their parents in
effect they are striking their parents down by
definition and if brought to the elders and the
sin is found they would be condemned to
death.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
17 And he who curses1 his Father
or his mother shall surely be put to
death.
18 If men contend with each other,
and one strikes the other with a stone
or with his fist, and he does not die
but is confined to his bed:
19 If he rises again and walks
about outside with his staff, then he
who struck him shall be acquitted. He
shall only pay for the loss of his time,
and shall provide for him to be
thoroughly healed.
20 And if a man beats his male or
female servant with a rod, so that he
dies under his hand, he shall surely
be punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he remains
alive a day or two, he shall not be
punished; for he is his property.
22 If men fight, and hurt a woman
with child, so that she gives birth
prematurely, yet no lasting harm
follows, he shall surely be punished
accordingly as the woman's husband
imposes on him; and he shall pay as
the judges determine.
23 And if any lasting harm follows,
then you shall give life for life:2
24 Eye for eye,3 tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot:
1The previous footnote applies. A curse is
not by mouth only but by actions also.
2 So in this scenario if a child is injured in the
womb and was born was disabled the man
would have to pay a large sum of
compensation or support that child for life!
3 If someone strikes you blind it does not
mean you strike him blind also, the words eye
for an eye or tooth for a tooth simply mean
fair judgment by judges appointed in Israel.
You will not find any people in Israel who
were without eyes and limbs as a result of
this punishment, in fact you will find none as
164
25 Burn for burn, wound for
wound, stripe for stripe.
26 If a man strikes the eye of his
male or female servant, and destroys
it, he shall let him go free for the sake
of his eye.
27 And if he knocks out the tooth
of his male or female servant, he
shall let him go free for the sake of
his tooth.
28 If an ox gores a man or a
woman to death, then the ox shall
surely be stoned, and its flesh shall
not be eaten; but the owner of the ox
shall be acquitted.
29 And if the ox tended to thrust
with its horn in times past, and it has
been made known to his owner, and
he has not kept it confined, so that it
has killed a man or a woman, the ox
shall be stoned and its owner also
shall be put to death.4
30 If there is imposed on him a
sum of money, then he shall pay to
redeem his life, whatever is imposed
on him.
31 Whether it has gored a son or
gored a daughter, according to this
judgment it shall be done to him.
32 If the ox gores a male or female
servant, he shall give to their master
thirty shekels of silver coins, and the
ox shall be stoned.
the commandment is understood as fair and
just punishment.
4 The same Torah law will apply today with
pit-bull terriers that have at times bitten and
killed babies. The owner and the dog would
both be stoned if Torah was in force today.
The victim’s family could apply for blood
money meaning they could ask for a
suggested sum of money. The Muslims do
this today and carry this Torah law.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
33 And if a man opens a pit, or if a
man digs a pit and does not cover it,
and an ox or a donkey falls in it:
34 The owner of the pit shall make
it good; he shall give money to their
owner, but the dead animal shall be
his.
35 And if one man's ox hurts
another's, so that it dies, then they
shall sell the live ox and divide the
money from it; and the dead ox they
shall also divide.
36 Or if it was known that the ox
tended to thrust in time past, and its
owner has not kept it confined, he
shall surely pay ox for ox, and the
dead animal shall be his own.
Chapter 22
1 If a man steals an ox or a sheep,
and slaughters it or sells it, he shall
restore five oxen for an ox and four
sheep for a sheep.1
2 If the thief is found breaking in,
and he is struck so that he dies, there
shall be no guilt for his bloodshed.
3 If the sun has risen on him, there
shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He
should make full restitution; if he has
nothing, then he shall be sold for his
theft.
4 If the theft is certainly found alive
in his hand, whether it is an ox or
donkey or sheep, he shall restore
double.
1
Today this law would mean that if a thief
steals a man’s car, then he shall restore the
value of five cars back to him. When a man’s
car is ripped, broken into, he feels angry and
violated, because his car is his personal space
and YHWH understood the emotions behind
such possessions. YHWH’s laws are just and
supersede any man made laws.
165
5 If a man causes a field or
vineyard to be grazed, and lets loose
his animal, and it feeds in another
man's field, he shall make restitution
from the best of his own field and the
best of his own vineyard.
6 If fire breaks out and catches in
thorns, so that stacked grain,
standing grain, or the field is
consumed, he who kindled the fire
shall surely make restitution.
7 If a man delivers to his neighbour
money or articles to keep, and it is
stolen out of the man's Beyth
(house), if the thief is found, he shall
pay double.
8 If the thief is not found, then the
master of the Beyth (house) shall be
brought to the judges to see whether
he has put his hand into his
neighbour's goods.
9 For any kind of trespass,
whether it concerns an ox, a donkey,
a sheep, or clothing, or for any kind
of lost thing which another claims to
be his, the cause of both parties shall
come before the judges; and
whomever the judges condemn shall
pay double to his neighbour.
10 If a man delivers to his
neighbour a donkey, an ox, a sheep,
or any animal to keep, and it dies, is
hurt, or driven away, no one seeing it,
11 Then an oath of hwhy shall be
between them both, that he has not
put his hand into his neighbour's
goods; and the owner of it shall
accept that, and he shall not make it
good.
12 But if, in fact, it is stolen from
him, he shall make restitution to the
owner of it.
13 If it is torn to pieces by a beast,
then he shall bring it as evidence,
and he shall not make good what
was torn.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
14 And if a man borrows anything
from his neighbour, and it becomes
injured or dies, the owner of it not
being with it, he shall surely make it
good.
15 But if its owner was with it, he
shall not make it good; if it was hired,
it came for its hire.
16 And if a man entices a virgin
who is not betrothed, and lies with
her, he shall surely pay the bride-
price for her to be his wife.
17 If her Father utterly refuses to
give her to him, he shall pay money
according to the bride-price of virgins.
18 You shall not permit a
sorceress to live.
19 Whoever lies with an animal
shall surely be put to death.
20 He who sacrifices to any
elohim, except to hwhy only, he shall
be utterly destroyed.
21 You shall neither mistreat a
foreigner nor oppress him, for you
were foreigners in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
22 You shall not afflict any widow
or fatherless child.
23 If you afflict them in any way,
and they cry at all to Me, I will surely
hear their cry;
24 And My wrath will become hot,
and I will kill you with the sword; your
wives shall be widows, and your
children fatherless.
25 If you lend money to any of My
people who are poor among you, you
shall not be like a moneylender to
him; you shall not charge him
interest.1
1 This applies to believing brothers and
sisters who are in need but you can charge
interest to the gentile people who are
unbelievers.
166
26 If you ever take your
neighbour's garment as a pledge,
you shall return it to him before the
sun goes down.
27 For that is his only covering, it
is his garment for his skin. What will
he sleep in? And it will be that when
he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am
gracious.
28 You shall not revile Elohim, nor
curse an Israelite ruler of your
people.
29 You shall not delay to offer the
first of your ripe produce and your
juices. The bechor (firstborn) of your
sons you shall give to Me.
30 Likewise you shall do with your
oxen and your sheep. It shall be with
its mother seven days; on the eighth
day you shall give it to Me.
31 And you shall be set-apart men
to Me: you shall not eat any meat
which is torn by beasts in the field;
you shall throw it to the dogs.
Chapter 23
1 You shall not circulate a false
report.2 Do not put your hand with the
wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 You shall not follow a crowd to
do evil;3 nor shall you testify in a
2 Slandering is a sin and must not be done.
3 The context applies from verse one that
slandering someone with a crowd of other
people or a majority view is still wrong in
YHWH’s sight. Yet today we see innocent
people being slandered by other so called
believers. They will come under the curse of
YHWH by committing this sin and will remain
until restitution is made. This means
apologizing to the person and then repenting
to YHWH. Note nothing the slanderer does
will be blessed after this event. If you have
committed this sin then repent and retract
and go to that brother or sister and ask for
 Shemoth (Exodus)
dispute so as to turn aside after many
to pervert justice.
3 You shall not show partiality to a
poor man in his dispute.
4 If you meet your enemy's ox or
his donkey going astray, you shall
surely bring it back to him again.
5 If you see the donkey of one who
hates you lying under its burden, and
you would refrain from helping it, you
shall surely help him with it.
6 You shall not pervert the
judgment of your poor in his dispute.
7 Keep yourself far from a false
matter; do not kill the innocent and
righteous. For I will not justify the
wicked.
8 And you shall take no bribe, for a
bribe blinds the discerning and
perverts the words of the righteous.
forgiveness. We see this behavior prevalent
on the internet, where believers are
constantly laughed at and slandered by other
alleged believers as a duty to the pagan
society. For such people as these, they have
already lost their rewards and their places in
the kingdom will only be granted at YHWH’s
discretion because they could be evicted from
the kingdom and any good work they have
done would be null and void and no longer of
any value. You have been warned not to do
this. If you have made this mistake, first, go
to the person you have sinned against and
make full restitution and then repent before
YHWH. You will also lose your place in the
first resurrection and miss the millennium
altogether so please think of what you have
done and make restitution. Failure to do this
would mean the blood of Messiah will not
help you on the Day of Judgment to cause
this sin to be removed as this is between
brother and brother or sister and sister first
and heaven later. See verses Exodus 23:7,
Ezekiel 3:18, Matthew 7:21, Jacob (James)
1:26 and Hebrews 10:26. If you remain
rebellious you will fall in with the wicked and
that will be the end of play for you and your
life.
167
9 Also you shall not oppress a
foreigner, for you know the heart of a
foreigner, because you were
foreigner in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
10 Six years you shall sow your
land and gather in its produce,
11 And the seventh year1 you shall
let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor
of your people may eat; and what
they leave, the beasts of the field
may eat. In like manner you shall do
with your vineyard and your olive
grove.
12 Six days you shall do your
work, and on the seventh day you
shall rest, that your ox and your
donkey may well rest, and the son of
your female servant and the stranger
may be refreshed.2
13 And in all that I have said to
you, be very careful and make no
mention of the name3 of other
elohim, nor let it be heard from your
mouth.
14 Three times you shall keep a
feast to Me in the year:
1 The ground is to be rested in the 7th year
the year of Shmita or the year of release.
2 The Sabbath rest is for all and you cannot
run a business and say I will take the 7th day
(Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) off but ask
my gentile workers to continue since they do
not believe in the Sabbath. They must be
given the same Sabbath rest also.
3 Do not pray or use other elohim’s names
and then try and use them to equate them to
YHWH. Many Christians are erring over this
one by using the terms ‘Lord’, ‘God’. Arabic
Christians use Allah as the term opposed to
Ilah (this is a correct title), while Catholics
even claim Mary as a co-redeemer. This is a
sin and a violation of the Torah.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
15 You shall keep the chag ha
Matzot (The Feast of Unleavened
Bread), you shall eat matzah
(unleavened bread) seven days, as I
commanded you, at the time
appointed in the month of Abib, for in
it you came out of Mitzrayim (Egypt);
none shall appear before Me empty);
16 And the chag ha Shavuot,1 (the
harvest) the Bikkurim (first-fruit) of
your labours which you have sown in
the field; and chag ha Sukkot (The
Feast of Sukkot or Ingathering) at the
end of the year, when you have
gathered in the fruit of your labours
from the field.
17 Three times2 in the year all your
males shall appear before hwhy
Elohim.
18 You shall not offer the blood of
My sacrifice with chametz lechem
(leaven bread); nor shall the fat of My
sacrifice remain until morning.
19 The first of the bikkurim of your
land you shall bring into the Beyth
(house) of hwhy your Elohim. You
shall not boil a young goat in its
mother's milk.3
20 Behold, I send a Malakh4
before you to keep you in the way
1 The Feast of Pentecost and the giving of
Torah and the summer harvest known as the
Feast of Weeks.
2 The three major feasts, unleavened bread,
Pentecost and Tabernacles.
3 Pagan cultures took milk from the cow and
then killed the cow and its firstborn baby and
cooked the child in the milk because they felt
this would bring blessings into their life.
YHWH forbids this practice.

This is one of the faces of YHWH.

and to bring you into the place which
I have prepared.
21 Beware of Him and obey His
voice; do not provoke Him, for He will
not pardon your transgressions; for
My name is in Him.5
22 But if6 you indeed obey His7
voice and do all that I speak, then I
will be an enemy to your enemies
and an adversary to your
adversaries.
23 For My Malakh8 will go before
you and bring you in to the Amorites
and the Hittites and the Perizzites
and the Canaanites and the Hivites
and the Yebusites; and I will cut them
off.
24 You shall not bow down to their
elohim,9 nor serve them, nor do
according to their works; but you
shall utterly overthrow them and
completely break down their sacred
pillars.10
5 This is the Megaton, the Memra who is
Yahushua the king Messiah, He is the middle-
pillar of the Sefirotic tree, and the one known
as the Tzadik One and referenced in the Brit
Chadasha Renewed Covenant writings see
Acts 3:14.
6 There is always an IF and a THEN with
YHWH. Blessings will come to you and your
household IF you are obedient and IF NOT,
then you can forget about receiving any
blessings.
7 Obeying His voice is to obey the Torah.
8 YHWH himself in an angelic form.
9 Bowing down to any other elohim other
than YHWH is a grievous sin.
10 In spite of a clear injunction not to use
other elohim’s names, we have many Arabic
and Pakistani Christians erring over this by
calling on Allah the Muslim deity and equating
it with YHWH, which is a gross sin. Many in
the Spanish language use the name of Zeus
 Shemoth (Exodus)
25 So you shall serve hwhy your
Elohim, and He will bless your
lechem (bread) and your mayim
(water). And I will take sickness away
from the midst of you.
26 No one shall suffer miscarriage
or be barren in your land; I will fulfill
the number of your days.
27 I will send My fear before you, I
will cause confusion among all the
people to whom you come, and will
make all your enemies turn their
backs to you.
28 And I will send hornets before
you, which shall drive out the Hivite,
the Canaanite, and the Hittite from
before you.
29 I will not drive them out from
before you in one year, lest the land
become desolate and the beast of
the field become too numerous for
you.
30 Little by little I will drive them
out from before you, until you have
increased, and you inherit the land.
31 And I will set your bounds from
the Sea of Reeds to the Sea of the
Plushtim (Philistines), and from the
desert to the River. For I will deliver
the inhabitants of the land into your
hand, and you shall drive them out
before you.
32 You shall make no covenant
with them, nor with their elohim.
33 They shall not dwell in your
land, lest they make you sin against
Me. For if you serve their elohim, it
will surely be a snare to you.
when they call on Hey-Zeus by paganising the
name of Yahushua, another sin. Christian
leaders, who teach that it is ok to substitute
these names are guilty of sin and will be
judged on the Yom Ha Din (Day of
Judgment).

Chapter 24
1 Now He said to Musa (Moses),
Come up to hwhy, you and Aharon,
Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the
elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
worship from afar.
2 And Musa (Moses) alone shall
come near hwhy, but they shall not
come near; nor shall the people go
up with him.
3 So Musa (Moses) came and told
the people all the words of hwhy and
all the judgments. And all the people
answered with one voice and said, All
the words which hwhy has said we
will do.
4 And Musa (Moses) wrote all the
words of hwhy. And he rose early in
the morning, and built an altar at the
foot of the mountain, and twelve
pillars according to the twelve tribes
of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 Then he sent young men of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), who
offered burnt offerings and sacrificed
shalom (peace) offerings of oxen to
hwhy.
6 And Musa (Moses) took half the
blood and put it in basins, and half
the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 Then he took the scroll of the
Brit1 and read in the hearing of the
people. And they said, All that hwhy
has said we will do, and we will
hear.2
1 Another name for Torah.
2 Note the phrase in Hebrew N’aseh
V’nishama means ‘we will do and we will
hear’ meaning before we hear we are ready
to obey the Torah. The details happen later
so we must be prepared to obey first; this is
the Hebrew way of action not just mere
words. And not intellectualism as we find
European attitudes is plagued by such
 Shemoth (Exodus)
8 And Musa (Moses) took the
blood, sprinkled it on the people, and
said, Behold, the blood of the
covenant which hwhy has made with
you according to all these words.
9 Then Musa (Moses) went up,
also Aharon, Nadab, and Abihu, and
seventy of the elders of Yah’sar’el
(Israel),
10 And they saw the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) and supporting his
feet with great strength there
appeared to be a brilliant white
sapphire and standing above it a
pillar of strength as a bone (body),
his essence pure as heaven.1
11 But on the nobles of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) He did
not lay His hand. So they saw
Elohim, and they ate and drank.2
12 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Come up to Me on the
mountain and be there; and I will give
you tablets of stone, and the Torah of
commandments which I have written,
that you may teach them.
13 So Musa (Moses) arose with
his assistant Yahushua (Joshua), and
ridiculous notions such as, unless you prove
first I will not budge. The Eastern mind is
ready to obey first then understand it slowly
by doing it. Do and hear are idiomatic for
obeying Torah. We find these in the Renewed
Covenant also.
1 The bone or the body (Ivrim-Hebrews 10:5)
they saw was Yahushua the middle-pillar
communing with Moses and the elders of
Israel.
2 This is Adam Kadmon the ancient of days
the Son Yahushua with whom Moses and the
Elders of Israel ate and drank. He was the
one who gave Moses the Torah at Mt Sini’yah
so it is Yahushua’s Torah that we must obey
for all time. His yoke is easy and His burden
is light. Mattityahu (Matt) 11:30.
170
Musa (Moses) went up to the
mountain of Elohim.
14 And he said to the elders, Wait
here for us until we come back to
you. Indeed Aharon and Hur are with
you. If any man has a difficulty, let
him go to them.
15 Then Musa (Moses) went up
into the mountain, and a cloud
covered the mountain.
16 Now the glory of hwhy rested
on Mount Sini’yah (Sinai), and the
cloud covered it six days. And on the
seventh day He called to Musa
(Moses) out of the midst of the cloud.
17 The sight of the glory of hwhy
was like a consuming fire on the top
of the mountain in the eyes of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
18 So Musa (Moses) went into the
midst of the cloud and went up into
the mountain. And Musa (Moses)
was on the mountain forty days and
forty nights.

1 Then hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), saying:
2 Speak to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they bring Me
an offering. From everyone who
gives it willingly with his heart you
shall take My offering.
3 And this is the offering which you
shall take from them: gold, silver, and
bronze;
4 blue, purple, and scarlet thread,
fine linen, and goats' hair;
5 ram skins dyed red, blue skins,
and acacia wood;
 Shemoth (Exodus)
6 oil for the light, and spices for the
anointing oil and for the sweet
incense;
7 onyx stones, and stones to be
set in the ephod and in the
breastplate.
8 And let them make Me a set-
apart place, that I may dwell among
them.
9 According to all that I show you,
that is, the pattern of the tabernacle
and the pattern of all its furnishings,
just so you shall make it.
10 And they shall make an ark of
acacia wood; its length is to be three
feet nine inches, its width two feet
three inches, and its height two feet
three inches
11 And you shall overlay it with
pure gold, inside and out you shall
overlay it, and shall make on it a
molding of gold all around.
12 You shall cast four rings of gold
for it, and put them in its four corners;
two rings shall be on one side, and
two rings on the other side.
13 And you shall make poles of
acacia wood, and overlay them with
gold.
14 You shall put the poles into the
rings on the sides of the ark, that the
ark may be carried by them.
15 The poles shall be in the rings
of the ark; they shall not be taken
from it.
16 And you shall put into the ark
the Testimony which I will give you.
17 You shall make a lid of
atonement of pure gold; its length to
be three feet nine inches and its
width to be two feet three inches.
18 And you shall make two
cherubim of gold; of hammered work
you shall make them at the two ends
of the lid of atonement.
171
19 Make one cherub at one end,
and the other cherub at the other
end; you shall make the cherubim at
the two ends of it of one piece with
the lid of atonement.
20 And the cherubim shall stretch
out their wings above, covering the
lid of atonement with their wings, and
they shall face one another; the faces
of the cherubim shall be toward the
lid of atonement.
21 You shall put the lid of
atonement on top of the ark, and in
the ark you shall put the Testimony
that I will give you.
22 And there I will meet with you,
and I will speak with you from above
the lid of atonement, from between
the two cherubim which are on the
ark of the Testimony, of all things
which I will give you in
commandment to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
23 You shall also make a table of
acacia wood; three feet shall be its
length, one foot and six inches its
width, and its height to be two feet
three inches.
24 And you shall overlay it with
pure gold, and make a molding of
gold all around.
25 You shall make for it a frame of
a handbreadth all around, and you
shall make a gold molding for the
frame all around.
26 And you shall make for it four
rings of gold, and put the rings on the
four corners that are at its four legs.
27 The rings shall be close to the
frame, as holders for the poles to
bear the table.
28 And you shall make the poles of
acacia wood, and overlay them with
gold, that the table may be carried
with them.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
29 You shall make its dishes, its
pans, its pitchers, and its bowls for
pouring. You shall make them of pure
gold.
30 And you shall set the lechem
panayim (bread of the faces) on the
table before Me always.
31 You shall also make a
menorah1 of pure gold; the menorah
shall be of hammered work. Its shaft,
its branches, its bowls, its ornamental
knobs, and flowers shall be of one
piece.

out of its sides: three branches of the
menorah out of one side, and three
branches of menorah out of the other
side.
33 Three bowls shall be made like
almond blossoms2 on one branch,
with an ornamental knob and a
flower, and three bowls made like
almond blossoms on the other
branch, with an ornamental knob and
a flower and so for the six branches
that come out of the menorah.
34 On the menorah itself four
bowls shall be made like almond
blossoms, each with its ornamental
knob and flower.

the first two branches of the same, a
knob under the second two branches
of the same, and a knob under the
third two branches of the same,

the Temple and was always lit up. This shows
us the Ten Sefirot in the Tree, the Temple
Menorah and the Tabernacle menorah were
seven branches on the top and three
branches on the bottom stand making up
Ten.

blossoms to fill with pure virgin olive oil.

according to the six branches that
extend from the menorah.
36 Their knobs and their branches
shall be of one piece; all of it shall be
one hammered piece of pure gold.
37 You shall make seven lamps for
it, and they shall arrange its lamps so
that they give light in front of it.
38 And its wick-trimmers and their
trays shall be of pure gold.
39 It shall be made of a talent3 of
pure gold, with all these utensils.

them according to the pattern which
was shown you on the mountain.4
Chapter 26
1 Moreover you shall make the
tabernacle with ten curtains of fine
woven linen and blue, purple, and
scarlet thread; with artistic designs of
cherubim you shall weave them.
2 The length of each curtain shall
be forty two feet, and the width of
each curtain to be six feet. And every
one of the curtains shall have the
same measurements.
3 Five curtains shall be coupled to
one another, and the other five
curtains shall be coupled to one
another.
4 And you shall make loops of blue
yarn on the edge of the curtain on the
corner of one set, and likewise you
shall do on the outer edge of the
other curtain of the second set.
3A common talent was about sixty pounds in
weight but a sacred talent as this one was
would be double, meaning 120 pounds of
gold.
4 Moses was shown the design from the
actual original Ark in the Temple in the third
heavens where YHWH’s throne is situated.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
5 Fifty loops you shall make in the
one curtain and fifty loops you shall
make on the edge of the curtain that
is on the end of the second set, that
the loops may be clasped to one
another.
6 And you shall make fifty clasps
of gold, and couple the curtains
together with the clasps, so that it
may be one tabernacle.
7 You shall also make curtains of
goats' hair, to be a tent over the
tabernacle. You shall make eleven
curtains.
8 The length of each curtain shall
be forty five feet, and the width of
each curtain to be six feet; and the
eleven curtains shall all have the
same measurements.
9 And you shall couple five
curtains by themselves and six
curtains by themselves, and you shall
double over the sixth curtain at the
forefront of the tent.
10 You shall make fifty loops on
the edge of the curtain that is
outermost in one set, and fifty loops
on the edge of the curtain of the
second set.
11 And you shall make fifty bronze
clasps, put the clasps into the loops,
and couple the tent together, that it
may be one.
12 The remnant that remains of
the curtains of the tent, the half
curtain that remains, shall hang over
the back of the tabernacle.
13 And a foot and a half on one
side and a foot and a half on the
other side, of what remains of the
length of the curtains of the tent, shall
hang over the sides of the
tabernacle, on this side and on that
side, to cover it.
14 You shall also make a covering
of ram skins dyed red for the tent,
173
and a covering of blue skins above
that.
15 And for the tabernacle you shall
make the boards of acacia wood,
standing upright.
16 Ten cubits shall be the length of
a board, and a cubit and a half shall
be the width of each board.
17 Two tenons shall be in each
board for binding one to another.
Thus you shall make for all the
boards of the tabernacle.
18 And you shall make the boards
for the tabernacle, twenty boards for
the south side.
19 You shall make forty sockets of
silver under the twenty boards: two
sockets under each of the boards for
its two tenons.
20 And for the second side of the
tabernacle, the north side, there shall
be twenty boards
21 And their forty sockets of silver:
two sockets under each of the
boards.
22 For the far side of the
tabernacle, westward, you shall make
six boards.
23 And you shall also make two
boards for the two back corners of
the tabernacle.
24 They shall be coupled together
at the bottom and they shall be
coupled together at the top by one
ring. Thus it shall be for both of them.
They shall be for the two corners.
25 So there shall be eight boards
with their sockets of silver sixteen
sockets two sockets under each
board.

acacia wood: five for the boards on
one side of the tabernacle,1
1 The idea that the Trinity is three has
somewhat problems scripturally as the
scripture illustrates, that Elohim is not just
three, but Ten Sefirot so yes, He is a plurality
of three such as the Father, Son and Set-
Apart Spirit but if we look above we see the
word Akhad in this scripture has five pieces of
wood but is still called Akhad (A unity of one).
So why should Akhad be limited to three or
even five? In fact it does not have a
limitation. This opens up our understanding a
bit more and shows us via various scriptures
that YHWH has not only the Father, Son and
the Ruach ha Kodesh which equals three but
also there are seven other Spirits of YHWH,
feminine which makes them a total of Ten.
These could be likened to our human
understanding of the Elder being Father
YHWH, then the Ruach ha kodesh the mother
who was working with the Father to bring the
Son Yahushua to the world and the other
seven subordinate Spirits of YHWH which are
feminine were also helping to bring the Son,
a bit like maidservants or concubines in a
marital sense but we must not think in human
terms but this is just a way to understand in
our two dimensional human world view.
YHWH does not need sexual intercourse like
we humans do but the pattern of human
sexuality came from above. Intrinsically the
Powers that are called YHWH are not
dependent on anything but can exist without
any form of creation but we are shown that
the Ruach was brought out of the Father just
like the Son revealed to us in Proverbs 8:25,
the Set-apart Spirit was brought forth and
then subsequently the Son was also brought
forth or revealed from the bosom of the
Father in heaven.
The mikvah (Baptism) of Yahushua is
mentioned like this revealed in the Gospel of
Matthew 3:17, ‘And it came to pass when
YHWH was come up out of the mayim

27 five bars for the boards on the
other side of the tabernacle, and five
(water), the whole fount of the Set-apart
Ruach (feminine) descended and rested upon
Him, and said to Him. ‘My Son, in all the
prophets was I waiting for you that you
should come, and I might rest on you, for
You are my rest, you are My first begotten
Son, that reigns forever. (An ancient copy of
the epistle of Hebrews now no longer
available)
Jerome quoted from this in 342-420, Origen
also quoted from it in 185-254. This gospel is
lost but only some quotations exist. (Messiah
Volume 3 Page 199 by Avi ben Mordechai)

Nazarene Study Scriptures (NT) Gospel of
John chapter 16:13.
Clearly then the seven Spirits mentioned in
Rev 4:5 and Zech 4:10 are subordinate to the
Father in heaven. A pattern cannot be
revealed on earth that did not exist in heaven
so unless we understand the Patriarchal
pattern in heaven we will struggle to
understand the patriarchal model of our
forefathers which was and remains Kadosh
and set-apart forever.
When men struggle to answer a question
they usually hide, gloss over it or mistranslate
the text and we find this in various text of the
Scriptures that were translated in the past.
We have uncovered many of these texts
already.
We cannot address this question fully here
but hope this explains why Akhad can not be
just limited to one, two or even three but can
have five and even be Ten, maintaining the
unity in Akhad for Elohim YHWH. The other
mystery of this is revealed in Malachi 2:15
where the Spirits are active to reveal the set-
apart Kadosh seed The Son Yahushua. This
Scripture also reveals to us that Chava (Eve)
was not created from a single rib but the side
of Adam which included flesh and bones
(plural). One bone is assumed but not
mentioned in Genesis 2:21 at all.

tabernacle, for the far side westward.

through the midst of the boards from
end to end.

with gold, make their rings of gold as
holders for the bars, and overlay the
bars with gold.
30 And you shall raise up the
tabernacle according to its pattern
which you were shown on the
mountain.
31 You shall make a veil woven of
blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and
fine woven linen. It shall be woven
with an artistic design of cherubim.
32 You shall hang it upon the four
pillars of acacia wood overlaid with
gold. Their hooks shall be of gold,
upon four sockets of silver.
33 And you shall hang the veil
from the clasps. Then you shall bring
the ark of the Testimony in there,
behind the veil. The veil shall be a
divider for you between the set-apart
place and the Most Set-Apart.
34 You shall put the lid of
atonement upon the ark of the
Testimony in the most Set-Apart
place.
35 You shall set the table outside
the veil, and the menorah across
from the table on the side of the
tabernacle toward the south; and you
shall put the table on the north side.1

reveal to us: the south side of man, the
heart, plus the Temple was in the South of
Israel revealing the placement of the
Menorah. The Menorah which has seven
candles but three legs on the stand reveals
the Ten attributes of YHWH in the Sefirotic
tree. The North side shows us the way to
Heaven and the throne room of YHWH is in

door of the tabernacle, woven of
blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and
fine woven linen, made by a weaver.

screen five pillars of acacia wood,
and overlay them with gold; their
hooks shall be of gold, and you shall
cast five sockets of bronze for them.

wood, seven feet six inches long and
seven feet six inches wide the altar
shall be square and its height shall
be four feet six inches.

four corners; its horns shall be of one
piece with it. And you shall overlay it
with bronze.
3 Also you shall make its pans to
receive its ashes, and its shovels and
its basins and its forks and its
firepans; you shall make all its
utensils of bronze.

network of bronze; and on the
network you shall make four bronze
rings at its four corners.
the North side of our galaxy Job 26:7, Psalm
75:6 and Psalm 48:1-2. The Messiah came
from the North Side of Israel to preach to the
Jewish nation down south, the place of
adoration. The place of the heart of man is
also south of the body. The North is also
known as the conscience of man. Satan
attacks the North hence why many nations of
the world have the worst apostasy or unbelief
in the North. There is an empty space in the
North and it possibly contains 2000 milky
ways and the milky ways are probably about
100,000 light years apart. If men think they
can reach YHWH’s throne room by space-
ships they are greatly mistaken.

5 You shall put it under the rim of
the altar beneath, that the network
may be midway up the altar.
6 And you shall make poles for the
altar, poles of acacia wood, and
overlay them with bronze.
7 The poles shall be put in the
rings, and the poles shall be on the
two sides of the altar to bear it.
8 You shall make it hollow with
boards; as it was shown you on the
mountain, so shall they make it.
9 You shall also make the court of
the tabernacle. For the south side
there shall be hangings for the court
made of fine woven linen, one
hundred cubits long for one side.

twenty sockets shall be of bronze.
The hooks of the pillars and their
bands shall be of silver.

north side there shall be hangings
one hundred fifty feet long, with its
twenty pillars and their twenty
sockets of bronze, and the hooks of
the pillars and their bands of silver.

on the west side shall be hangings of
seventy-five feet, with their ten pillars
and their ten sockets.

east side shall be seventy-five feet.

the gate shall twenty-two and a half
feet long, with their three pillars and
their three sockets.

hangings of twenty-two and a half
feet long, with their three pillars and
their three sockets.

shall be a screen thirty feet long,
woven of blue, purple, and scarlet

children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) that
they bring you pure oil of pressed
olives for the light, to cause the lamp1
to burn continually.
21 In the tabernacle of the
congregation, outside the veil which
is before the Testimony, Aharon and
his sons shall tend it from evening

1 Now take Aharon your brother,
and his sons with him, from among
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), that
he may minister to Me as kohen

Nadab, Abihu, El’ezar, and Ithamar.

2 And you shall make set-apart
garments for Aharon your brother, for
glory and for beauty.
3 So you shall speak to all who are
gifted artisans, whom I have filled
with the Ruach (Spirit) of wisdom,
that they may make Aharon's
garments, to consecrate him,1 that he
may minister to Me as Kohen (priest).
4 And these are the garments
which they shall make: a breastplate,
an ephod, a robe, a skillfully woven
tunic, a turban,2 and a sash. So they
shall make set-apart garments for
Aharon your brother and his sons,
that he may minister to Me as kohen
(priest).
5 They shall take the gold, blue,
purple, and scarlet thread, and fine
linen,
6 And they shall make the ephod
of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet
thread, and fine woven linen,
artistically worked.
7 It shall have two shoulder straps
joined at its two edges, and so it shall
be joined together.
8 And the intricately woven band of
the ephod, which is on it, shall be of
the same workmanship, made of
gold, blue , purple, and scarlet
thread, and fine woven linen.
9 Then you shall take two onyx
stones and engrave on them the
names of the sons of Yah’sar’el
(Israel):
10 Six of their names on one
stone, and the remaining six names

birth.3
11 With the work of an engraver in
stone, like the engravings of a signet,
you shall engrave the two stones with
the names of the sons of Yah’sar’el
(Israel). You shall set them in settings
of gold.
12 And you shall put the two
stones on the shoulders of the ephod
as memorial stones for the sons of
Yah’sar’el (Israel). So Aharon shall
bear their names before hwhy on his
two shoulders as a memorial.
13 You shall also make settings of
gold,
14 And you shall make two chains
of pure gold like braided cords, and
fasten the braided chains to the
settings.
15 You shall make the breastplate
of judgment. Artistically woven
according to the workmanship of the
ephod you shall make it: of gold,
blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and
fine woven linen, you shall make it.
16 It shall be doubled into a
square: nine inches4 shall be its
length, and nine inches shall be its
width.

stones in it, four rows of stones: The

Priest only carries the names of the twelve
tribes. He does not carry on His Breastplate
the names of any church denominations such
as Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal or other.

Yahushua’s ephod is out of Israel and
considered gentile, publican and a tax

simply to indicate unbelievers.

first row shall be a sardius, a topaz,
and an emerald; this shall be the first
row;
18 The second row shall be a
turquoise, a sapphire, and a
diamond;
19 The third row, a jacinth, an
agate, and an amethyst;
20 And the fourth row, a beryl, an
onyx, and jasper. They shall be set in
gold settings.
21 And the stones shall have the
names of the sons of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), twelve according to their
names, like the engravings of a
signet, each one with its own name;
they shall be according to the twelve
tribes.
22 You shall make chains for the
breastplate at the end, like braided
cords of pure gold.
23 And you shall make two rings of
gold for the breastplate, and put the
two rings on the two ends of the
breastplate.
24 Then you shall put the two
braided chains of gold in the two
rings which are on the ends of the
breastplate;
25 and the other two ends of the
two braided chains you shall fasten to
the two settings, and put them on the
shoulder straps of the ephod in the
front.
26 You shall make two rings of
gold, and put them on the two ends
of the breastplate, on the edge of it,
which is on the inner side of the
ephod.
27 And two other rings of gold you
shall make, and put them on the two
shoulder straps, underneath the
ephod toward its front, right at the
seam above the intricately woven
band of the ephod.
178
28 They shall bind the breastplate
by means of its rings to the rings of
the ephod, using a blue cord, so that
it is above the intricately woven band
of the ephod, and so that the
breastplate does not come loose
from the ephod.
29 So Aharon shall bear the
names of the sons of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) on the breastplate of
judgment over his heart, when he
goes into the set-apart place, as a
memorial before hwhy continually.
30 And you shall put in the
breastplate of judgment the Urim1
and the Thummim,2 and they shall be
over Aharon's heart when he goes in
before hwhy. So Aharon shall bear
the judgment of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) over his heart
before hwhy continually.
31 You shall make the robe of the
ephod all of blue.
32 There shall be an opening for
his head in the middle of it; it shall
have a woven binding all around its
opening, like the opening in a coat of
mail, so that it does not tear.
33 And upon its hem you shall
make pomegranates3 of blue, purple,
and scarlet, all around its hem, and
bells of gold between them all
around:
1 Meaning ‘lights’, these two stones were
drawn by the High Priest to determine
matters of difficulty. This was YHWH’s lottery
draw for Him to say; Yes or No to a matter
that the High Priest could not give an answer
to.
2 Meaning reflections, one stone was light
and the other dark.

Israel’s fruitfulness. Without wives (plural)
and children this was not possible.

34 A golden bell and a
pomegranate, a golden bell and a

robe all around.
35 And it shall be upon Aharon
when he ministers, and its sound will
be heard when he goes into the set-
apart place before hwhy and when
he comes out, that he may not die.
36 You shall also make a plate of
pure gold and engrave on it, like the
engraving of a signet: Set-Apart to
hwhy.
37 And you shall put it on a blue
cord that it may be on the turban; it
shall be on the front of the turban.
38 So it shall be on Aharon's
forehead that Aharon may bear the
iniquity of the set-apart things which
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
sanctify in all their set-apart gifts; and
it shall always be on his forehead,
that they may be accepted before
hwhy.
39 You shall skillfully weave the
tunic of fine linen thread, you shall
make the turban of fine linen, and
you shall make the sash of woven
work.
40 For Aharon's sons you shall
make tunics, and you shall make
sashes for them. And you shall make
turbans for them, for glory and
beauty.1
1 The Turbans for all the priests are
mandatory, to reveal YHWH’s beauty and
glory hence why a head covering is essential
and not optional. Yet Christianity has made a
mockery of this commandment while YHWH
requires it. They are still arguing over
whether we should wear it or not
misinterpreting Rabbi Paulos’s letter in First
Corinthians 11:4, which speaks about a
prostitute’s veil covering the face and not the
traditional head-covering required in every

Aharon your brother and on his sons
with him. You shall anoint them,
consecrate them, and sanctify them,
that they may minister to Me as
priests.
42 And you shall make for them
linen trousers to cover their
nakedness; they shall reach from the
waist to the thighs.
43 They shall be on Aharon and on
his sons when they come into the
tabernacle of the congregation, or
when they come near the altar to
minister in the set-apart place, that
they do not incur iniquity and die. It
shall be a statute forever to him and
his descendants after him.

them to sanctify them for ministering
to Me as priests: Take one young bull
and two rams without blemish,

and cakes mixed with oil, and
unleavened wafers anointed with oil,
you shall make them of wheat flour.
3 You shall put them in one basket
and bring them in the basket, with the
bull and the two rams.
4 And Aharon and his sons you
shall bring to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and
you shall wash them with mayim
(water).
5 Then you shall take the
garments, put the tunic on Aharon,
and the robe of the ephod, the

head, and put the set-apart crown on

oil, pour it on his head, and anoint
him.
8 Then you shall bring his sons
and put tunics on them.
9 And you shall gird them with
sashes, Aharon and his sons, and
put the turbans1 on them. The
priesthood shall be theirs for an
everlasting law.2 So you shall
consecrate Aharon and his sons.
10 You shall also have the bull
brought before the tabernacle of the
congregation, and Aharon and his
sons shall put their hands on the
head of the bull.
11 Then you shall kill the bull
before hwhy, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
12 You shall take some of the
blood of the bull and put it on the
horns of the altar with your finger,
and pour all the blood beside the
base of the altar.
13 And you shall take all the fat
that covers the entrails, the fatty lobe
attached to the liver, and the two
kidneys and the fat that is on them,

skin and its dung, you shall burn with

offering.
15 You shall also take one ram,
and Aharon and his sons shall put
their hands on the head of the ram;
16 and you shall kill the ram, and
you shall take its blood and sprinkle it
all around on the altar.
17 Then you shall cut the ram in
pieces, wash its entrails and its legs,
and put them with its pieces and with
its head.
18 And you shall burn the whole
ram on the altar. It is a burnt offering
to hwhy; it is a sweet aroma, an
offering made by fire to hwhy.
19 You shall also take the other
ram, and Aharon and his sons shall
put their hands on the head of the
ram.4
20 Then you shall kill the ram, and
take some of its blood and put it on
the tip of the right ear of Aharon and
on the tip of the right ear of his sons,
on the thumb of their right hand and
on the big toe of their right foot,5 and

like Yahushua was hung on the tree outside

4 Note; without putting the hands on the
Ram’s or the Bull’s head the sacrifice would
not qualify for sin, hence why we see John

These signify the first commandment to love

shall be set-apart, and his sons and

ram, the fat tail, the fat that covers
the entrails, the fatty lobe attached to
the liver, the two kidneys and the fat
on them, the right thigh (for it is a ram
of consecration),
23 one loaf of lechem (bread), one
cake made with oil, and one wafer
from the basket of the matzah
(unleavened bread) that is before
hwhy;
24 And you shall put all these in
the hands of Aharon and in the hands
of his sons, and you shall wave them
as a wave offering before hwhy.
25 You shall receive them back
from their hands and burn them on
the altar as a burnt offering, as a
sweet aroma before hwhy. It is an
offering made by fire to hwhy.
26 Then you shall take the breast
of the ram of Aharon's consecration
and wave it as a wave offering before
hwhy; and it shall be your portion.
27 And from the ram of the
consecration you shall consecrate
the breast of the wave offering which
is waved, and the thigh of the heave
offering which is raised, of that which
is for Aharon and of that which is for
his sons.
the plurality of YHWH. All three in agreement,
the Father, the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Set-apart
Spirit) and the Son Yahushua.
181
28 It shall be from the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) for Aharon and his
sons by a statute forever. For it is a
heave offering; it shall be a heave
offering from the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) from the sacrifices
of their shalom (peace) offerings, that
is, their heave offering to hwhy.
29 And the set-apart garments of
Aharon shall be his sons' after him, to
be anointed in them and to be
consecrated in them.
30 That son who becomes Kohen
(priest) in his place shall put them on
for seven days, when he enters the
tabernacle of the congregation to
minister in the set-apart place.
31 And you shall take the ram of
the consecration and boil its flesh in
the set-apart place.
32 Then Aharon and his sons shall
eat the flesh of the ram, and the
lechem (bread) that is in the basket,
by the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
33 They shall eat those things with
which the atonement was made, to
consecrate and to sanctify them; but
a stranger shall not eat them,
because they are set-apart.
34 And if any of the flesh of the
consecration offerings, or of the
lechem (bread), remains until the
morning, then you shall burn the
remainder with fire. It shall not be
eaten, because it is set-apart.1
1 Note; just like in the Passover no strangers
were to eat the meal because the meal was
only for those IN Israel and they were
circumcised and Sabbath keeping, believing
and keeping the Torah. Anyone else doing
this would be disqualified and judged
severely.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
35 Thus you shall do to Aharon
and his sons, according to all that I
have commanded you. Seven days
you shall consecrate them.
36 And you shall offer a bull every
day as a sin offering for atonement.
You shall cleanse the altar when you
make atonement for it, and you shall
anoint it to sanctify it.
37 Seven days you shall make
atonement for the altar and sanctify
it.1 And the altar shall be most set-
apart. Whatever touches the altar
must be set-apart.2
38 Now this is what you shall offer
on the altar: two lambs of the first
year, day by day continually.
39 One lamb you shall offer in the
morning and the other lamb you shall
offer at twilight.
40 With the one lamb shall be one-
tenth of an ephah of flour mixed with
one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil, and
one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink
offering.
41 And the other lamb you shall
offer at twilight; and you shall offer
with it the grain offering and the drink
offering, as in the morning, for a
sweet aroma, an offering made by
fire to hwhy.
42 This shall be a continual burnt
offering throughout your generations
at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before hwhy, where I
will meet you to speak with you.
1The place of worship for YHWH is set-apart
and not just any altar so it must be properly
anointed and prepared in the name of YHWH
because that is what sanctifies it before it can
be used.
2 Even touching the altar is a sin if you are
not obeying Torah.
182
43 And there I will meet with the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and the
tabernacle shall be sanctified by My
glory.
44 So I will consecrate the
tabernacle of the congregation and
the altar. I will also consecrate both
Aharon and his sons to minister to
Me as priests.
45 I will dwell among the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and will be their
Elohim.
46 And they shall know that I am
hwhy their Elohim, who brought them
up out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), that I may dwell among
them. I am hwhy their Elohim.

4 Two gold rings you shall make
for it, under the molding on both its
sides. You shall place them on its two
sides, and they will be holders for the
poles with which to bear it.

the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) for
their number, then every man shall

may be no plague among them when

13 This is what everyone among

of the kadosh-place (a shekel is
twenty gerahs). The half-shekel shall
be an offering to hwhy.

those who are numbered, from
twenty years old and above,5 shall
give an offering to hwhy.
15 The rich shall not give more

4 In time this became the Temple tax which
was half a shekel. In Yahushua’s day it
amounted to two days wages, Matt 17:24 and
the money was collected in the Month of Adar
which is Feb/March our time. This money was
used for the upkeep of the Tabernacle. In
present time in Israel this chapter is read a
Sabbath before Rosh Chodesh Adar (New
Moon) and the Jewish people give half of the
standard coin of the countries they live in.
The Hebrew phrase B’Pakad for counting is
repeated twice in this passage to show that
YHWH did this as a special count during
Moses’ time and it was forbidden to count
otherwise, as we see what happened in King
David’s time. Second Sam 24:1-15.
5 YHWH saw 20 years and up as adults and
required a sin offering from them, this is the
age of accountability as YHWH sees it. Jewish
boys which is fine. Yahushua also had a bar
mitzvah. Luke 2:42. Adonai himself that the
school of Hillel’s laws were binding because
they heard a voice after 70 CE a bat kol
announcing that Hillel rules. Christians must
not reject Jewish halacha based on
ignorance, you can believe in the Messiah and
live the halacha there is no contradiction.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
half a shekel, when you give an
offering to hwhy, to make atonement
for yourselves.1
16 And you shall take the
atonement money of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and shall appoint it
for the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation, that it may be a
memorial for the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) before hwhy, to
make atonement for yourselves.
17 Then hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), saying:
18 You shall also make a laver of
bronze, with its base also of bronze,
for washing. You shall put it between
the tabernacle of the congregation
and the altar. And you shall put
mayim (water) in it,
19 for Aharon and his sons shall
wash their hands and their feet in
mayim (water) from out of it.2
1 YHWH is equitable to treat the rich and
poor the same way with no inequality or
injustice.
2 It is stated that it had 12 taps attached to it
so that twelve people could wash their hands
and feet at the same time. It is unheard of in
the Hebrew culture, to just get up and go to
the assembly without any kind of washing.
The nations have adopted many of the
customs of Israel calling them their own but
their origin belongs to Israel. The picture of
this is shown also in Brit Chadasha,
Yahuchannan 13:9-11. Originally the copper
laver had two spouts but later more spouts
were added but the laver always remained
copper even at the most prosperous times of
Israel.
http://www.templeinstitute.org/laver.htm
The Midrash (Bamidbar Rabbah 9:14) relates
that the original laver was made from the
contributions of the righteous women of
Israel, who donated their shiny mirrors
towards this cause. These mirrors, made of
highly polished copper, were melted down
184
20 When they go into the
tabernacle of the congregation, or
when they come near the altar to
minister, to burn an offering made by
fire to hwhy, they shall wash with
mayim (water), lest they die.
21 So they shall wash their hands
and their feet,3 lest they die. And it
shall be a statute forever to them to
him and his descendants throughout
their generations.
22 Moreover hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), saying:
23 Also take for yourself quality
spices five hundred shekels of liquid
myrrh, half as much sweet-smelling
cinnamon (two hundred and fifty
shekels), two hundred and fifty
shekels of sweet-smelling cane,
24 five hundred shekels of cassia,
according to the shekel of the set-
apart place, and a hin of olive oil.
25 And you shall make from these
a set-apart anointing oil, an ointment
compounded according to the art of
the perfumer. It shall be a set-apart
anointing oil.
26 With it you shall anoint the
tabernacle of the congregation and
the ark of the Testimony;
and it was from these that the laver was
created. This act of sacrifice was precious in
the eyes of the Holy One - the fact that the
women cared more about fulfilling the word
of God than about their own appearance. He
declared that the laver must be of copper
throughout the ages, to invoke the merit of
these righteous women, so the memory of
their action will always be before Him.
3 Yahushua washing the feet of the Disciples
was not a new commandment but it
originates here mentioned in John 13:14.
This then showed the spirit of Torah where
the living water Yahushua was there to
demonstrate it.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
27 The table and all its utensils,
the menorah and its utensils, and the
altar of incense;
28 The altar of burnt offering with
all its utensils, and the laver and its
base.
29 You shall consecrate them, that
they may be most set-apart;
whatever touches them must be set-
apart.
30 And you shall anoint Aharon
and his sons, and consecrate them,
that they may minister to Me as
priests.
31 And you shall speak to the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying:
This shall be the set-apart anointing
oil to Me throughout your
generations.
32 It shall not be poured on man's
flesh; nor shall you make any other
like it, according to its composition. It
is set-apart, and it shall be set-apart
to you.1
33 Whoever makes any like it, or
whoever puts any of it on an
outsider,2 shall be cut off from his
people.
34 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses): Take sweet spices, fragrant
gum and cinnamon and galbanum,
and pure frankincense with these
1 Even though the Jewish people know how
to make the oil today they will not make it as
commanded by YHWH for any other use but
in the Temple Service. This will have to wait
for the 3rd Temple.
2 The anointing shows that it was only for the
Israelites, the twelve tribes and no one else.
Likewise, salvation is only within Israel and
no church has any right to it as they have to
be grafted in to Israel and cannot stand
alone.

sweet spices; there shall be equal
amounts of each.
35 You shall make of these an
incense, a compound according to
the art of the perfumer, salted, pure,
and set-apart.
36 And you shall beat some of it
very fine, and put some of it before
the Testimony in the tabernacle of
the congregation where I will meet
with you. It shall be most set-apart to
you.
37 But as for the incense which
you shall make, you shall not make
any for yourselves, according to its
composition. It shall be to you set-
apart for hwhy.
38 Whoever makes any like it, to
smell it, he shall be cut off from his
people.

manner of workmanship.

used to send His Disciples out two by two.
This was the same way that King Solomon
was the Builder of the Temple and a man

Divre HaYamim Bet (2 Chronicles 2:4)
1 Saturday Sabbath is a sign and a seal for
believers. Those that do not keep the
Sabbath are seen as unrighteous in YHWH’s
sight as this is a major weekly appointed time
to set His people apart. Repeated in
Ye’chezk’el (Ezekiel) 20:12, 20. This is for All
believers and if you do not keep the Sabbath
YHWH may not allow you into His kingdom as
He has the last say on it. Not you and
certainly not your sun-day worship pastor
who is breaking YHWH’s set-apart day by
186
throughout your generations, that you
may know that I am hwhy who
sanctifies you.
14 You shall keep the Sabbath,
therefore, for it is set-apart to you.
Everyone who profanes it shall surely
be put to death;2 for whoever does
any work on it, that person shall be
cut off from among his people.
15 Work shall be done for six days,
but the seventh is the Sabbath of
rest, set-apart to hwhy. Whoever
does any work on the Sabbath day,
he shall surely be put to death.
16 Therefore the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall guard3 the
Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath
throughout their generations as an
everlasting covenant.
17 It is a sign between Me and the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)4
forever; for in six days hwhy made
the shamayim (heavens) and the
earth, and on the seventh day was
the Sabbath to cease from all work
and to be refreshed.5
worshipping on a day YHWH did not choose
for Israel aligned to the false sun-deity.
2 This could mean second death for some
people who continually profane it, only YHWH
will decide on such people’s future.
3 It is so important that we have to
guard/protect our commandments not to let
the heathen mock us. See the articles on the
Sabbath at: www.abrahamic-faith.com/Ask-
the-Rabbi.html. The brit (Covenant) must be
guarded and upheld.
4 The only assembly YHWH knows is Israel
and there is no other church in His eyes.
5 The idea here is not that YHWH needs to
rest and refresh, but it is for man to cease
and refresh. YHWH only shows us a picture of
why it was created for us since He does not
need a rest being the eternal one.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
18 And when He had made an end
of speaking with him on Mount
Sini’yah (Sinai), He gave Musa
(Moses) two tablets of the Testimony,
tablets of stone, written with the
finger of Elohim.
Chapter 32
1 Now when the people saw that
Musa (Moses) delayed coming down
from the mountain, the people
gathered together to Aharon, and
said to him, Come, make us elohim
that shall go before us; for as for this
man Musa (Moses), the who brought
us up out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), we do not know what has
become of him.
2 And Aharon said to them, Break
off the golden earrings which are in
the ears of your wives, your sons,
and your daughters, and bring them
to me.
3 So all the people broke off the
golden earrings which were in their
ears, and brought them to Aharon.
4 And he received the gold from
their hand, and he fashioned it with
an engraving tool, and made a
molded calf. Then they said, This is
your elohim, O Yah’sar’el (Israel) that
brought you out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).1
1 Note; it was the corrupt Israelites saying,
this is your elohim not Aharon. He was foolish
enough to just go along with it. He made it in
the image of the calf because the first letter
of Alef is the head of an ox in ancient
pictographic Hebrew and that letter is
associated with YHWH so naturally Aharon
thought perhaps His form would be of an OX
and there was some Egyptian influence
because they also worshipped Calves. It’s like
saying my calf is better than yours.
187
5 So when Aharon saw it, he built
an altar before it. And Aharon made a
proclamation and said, Tomorrow is a
feast2 to hwhy.
6 Then they rose early on the next
day, offered burnt offerings, and
brought shalom (peace) offerings;
and the people sat down to eat and
drink, and rose up to play.3
7 And hwhy said to Musa (Moses),
Go, get down! For your 4 people
whom you brought out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) have acted
lawlessly.5
8 They have turned aside quickly
out of the way 6 which I commanded
them. They have made themselves a
molded calf, and worshiped it and
sacrificed to it, and said, This is your
elohim, O Yah’sar’el (Israel), that
brought you out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt)!
9 And hwhy said to Musa (Moses),
I have seen this people, and indeed it
is a stubborn people!
2 This was an illegal feast that Aharon
proclaimed just as Christianity has made
many illegal pagan feasts, such as Christmas
and Easter while there are only seven true
feasts commanded in Scripture.
3 To commit idolatry and to commit
fornication. Targum of Jonathan.
4 Note the switch. YHWH calls them Moses’
people when they go into idolatry.
5 Septuagint
6 The Way, the same way Yahushua
proclaimed was from the Torah,
Yahuchannan 14:6. He did not start a new
religion but the anti-semitic church fathers
did. Yahushua pointed people back to the
Torah and to Himself as the personification of
the Torah.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
10 Now therefore, let Me alone,
that My wrath may burn hot against
them and I may consume them. And I
will make of you a great nation.
11 Then Musa (Moses) pleaded
with hwhy his Elohim, and said:
hwhy, why does Your wrath burn hot
against Your people whom You have
brought out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) with great power and with a
mighty hand?
12 Why should the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) speak, and say, He
brought them out to harm them, to kill
them in the mountains, and to
consume them from the face of the
earth'? Turn from Your fierce wrath,
and relent from this harm to Your1
people.
13 Remember Abraham, Yah’sac
(Isaac), and Yah’sar’el (Israel), Your
servants, to whom You swore by
Your own self, and said to them, I will
multiply your descendants as the
stars of shamayim (heavens); and all
this land that I have spoken of I give
to your descendants, and they shall
inherit it forever.
14 So hwhy relented from the
harm which He said He would do to
His people.
15 And Musa (Moses) turned and
went down from the mountain, and
the two tablets of the Testimony were
in his hand. The tablets were written
on both sides; on the one side and on
the other they were written.
16 Now the tablets were the work
of Elohim, and the writing was the
1Moses reminds YHWH that these are not his
people but ‘your people’, there is a spiritual
switch Shemoth (Exodus) 32:7.
188
writing of Elohim engraved on the
tablets. 2
17 And when Yahushua (Joshua)
heard the noise of the people as they
shouted, he said to Musa (Moses),
There is a noise of war in the camp.
18 But he said: It is not the voice of
those who shout in victory, nor is it
the voice of those who cry out in
defeat, but the voice of those who
sing that I hear.
19 So it was, as soon as he came
near the camp, that he saw the calf
and the dancing. Musa (Moses)
became enraged with anger3 and he
cast the tablets out of his hands and
broke them at the foot of the
mountain.
20 Then he took the calf which
they had made, burned it in the fire,
and ground it to powder; and he
scattered it on the mayim (water) and
made the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) drink it. 4
21 And Musa (Moses) said to
Aharon, What did this people do to
you that you have brought so great a
sin upon them? 5
22 So Aharon said, Do not let the
anger of my master become hot. You
know the people that they are set on
evil.
2 YHWH’s own finger wrote those words.
3 Septuagint. It is right to have righteous
anger over lewdness and idolatry.
4 As the water of jealousy in Numbers 5:16
made them to drink so the chief architects of
this crime were found out and dealt with.
Also to show others the calf was meaningless
and had no divine properties.
5 Aharon’s brother Hur was killed for
reproving the Israelites for this idolatry, no
mention is made of him after this event.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
23 For they said to me, Make us
mighty ones 1 that shall go before us;
as for this Musa (Moses), the man
who brought us out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), we do not know
what has become of him.
24 And I said to them, Whoever
has any gold, let them break it off. So
they gave it to me, and I cast it into
the fire, and this calf came out.
25 Now when Musa (Moses) saw
that the people were unrestrained (for
Aharon had not restrained them, to
their shame among their enemies),
26 Then Musa (Moses) stood in
the entrance of the camp, and said,
Whoever is on hwhy's side, come to
me. And all the sons of Lewi
gathered themselves together to him.
27 And he said to them, Thus says
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
Let every man put his sword on his
side, and go in and out from entrance
to entrance throughout the camp, and
let every man kill his brother, every
man his companion, and every man
his neighbour.
28 So the sons of Lewi did
according to the word of Musa
(Moses). And about three thousand
men of the people fell that day.
29 Then Musa (Moses) said,
Consecrate yourselves today to
hwhy, that He may bestow on you a
blessing this day, for every man has
opposed his son and his brother.
30 And it came to pass on the next
day that Musa (Moses) said to the
people, You have committed a great
sin. So now I will go up to hwhy;
perhaps I can make atonement for
your sin.
1 False elohim.
189
31 Then Musa (Moses) returned to
hwhy and said, Oh, these people
have committed a great sin, and have
made for themselves a mighty one of
gold.
32 Yet now, if You will forgive their
sin but if not, I pray, blot me out of
Your scroll2 which You have written.
33 And hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Whoever3 has sinned
against Me, I will blot him out4 of My
scroll.
34 Now therefore, go, lead the
people to the place of which I have
spoken to you. Behold, My Malakh
(Angel) shall go before you.
Nevertheless, in the day when I visit
for punishment, I will visit punishment
upon them for their sin.
35 So hwhy plagued the people
because of what they did with the calf
which Aharon made.
Chapter 33
1 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Depart and go up from
here, you and the people whom you
have brought out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), to the land of
which I swore to Abraham, Yah’sac
2 Book of life.
3 It’s important that YHWH does not use the
word; I will blot out of Israel who I will
choose because Israel is marked for salvation
and if YHWH decided to blot out Israel at this
time then He would have broken His
covenant hence why YHWH says “I will blot
out whoever”, but does not say Israel. The
Messiah’s blood also atones and removes sin
backwards in time not just forwards and this
is the secret here, it is retrospectively applied
on Israel and her sins to cleanse them.
4 YHWH has the final say who He keeps in
the book of life and who He blots out.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
(Isaac), and Ya’acob (Jacob),
saying, To your descendants I will
give it.
2 And I will send My Malakh
(Angel) before you, and I will drive
out the Canaanite and the Amorite
and the Hittite and the Perizzite and
the Hivite and the Yebusite.
3 Go up to a land flowing with milk
and honey; for I will not go up in your
midst, lest I consume you on the way
for you are a stubborn people.
4 And when the people heard this
bad news,1 they mourned, and no
one put on his ornaments.
5 For hwhy had said to Musa
(Moses), Say to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), You are a
stubborn people. I could come up into
your midst in one moment and
consume you. Now therefore, take off
your ornaments, that I may know
what to do to you.
6 So the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) stripped themselves of their
ornaments by Mount Horeb.
7 Musa (Moses) took his tent and
pitched it outside the camp, far from
the camp, and called it the tabernacle
of the congregation. And it came to
pass that everyone who sought hwhy
went out to the tabernacle of the
congregation which was outside the
camp.
8 So it was, whenever Musa
(Moses) went out to the tabernacle,
that all the people rose, and each
man stood at his tent door and
watched Musa (Moses) until he had
gone into the tabernacle.
1 It is indeed bad news when YHWH leaves
us and we have no protection and no one to
watch over us.
190
9 And it came to pass, when Musa
(Moses) entered the tabernacle that
the pillar of cloud descended and
stood at the door of the tabernacle,
and hwhy talked with Musa (Moses).
10 All the people saw the pillar of
cloud standing at the tabernacle
door, and all the people rose and
worshiped, each man in his tent door.
11 So hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses) face to face, as a man
speaks to his friend. And he would
return to the camp, but his servant
Yahushua (Joshua) the son of Nun, a
young man,2 did not depart from the
tabernacle.
12 Then Musa (Moses) said to
hwhy, See, You say to me, Bring up
this people. But You have not let me
know whom You will send with me.
Yet You have said, I know you by
name, and you have also found
favour in My sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have
found favour in Your sight, show me
now Your way,3 that I may know You
and that I may find favour in Your
sight. And consider that this nation is
Your people.
14 And He said, My Presence will
go with you, and I will give you rest.
15 Then he said to Him, If Your
Presence does not go with us, do not
bring us up from here.
16 For how then will it be known
that Your people and I have found
2 Yahushua the son of Nun guarded the
tabernacle, Ibn Ezra places his age as 56. He
was not exactly young in our terms since he
was the general of the Israelite army but, he
was still youthful because he was faithful to
YHWH.
3 The ‘way’ which is what Yahushua
proclaimed in John 14:6.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
favour in Your sight, except You go
with us? So we shall be separate,
Your people and I, from all the people
who are upon the face of the earth.
17 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), I will also do this thing that
you have spoken; for you have found
favour in My sight, and I know you by
name.
18 And he said, Please, show me
Your glory.
19 Then He said, I will make all My
goodness pass before you, and I will
proclaim the name of hwhy1 before
you. I will be gracious to whom I will
be gracious, and I will have
compassion on whom I will have
compassion.
20 But He said, You cannot see
My face; for no man shall see Me,
and live.2
21 And hwhy said, Here is a place
by Me, and you shall stand on the
rock.
22 So it shall be, while My glory
passes by, that I will put you in the
cleft of the rock, and will cover you
with My hand while I pass by.
23 Then I will take away My hand,
and you shall see My back; but My
face shall not be seen.
Chapter 34
1 And hwhy said to Musa (Moses),
Cut two tablets of stone like the first
ones, and I will write on these tablets
the words that were on the first
tablets which you broke.
2 So be ready in the morning, and
come up in the morning to Mount
1 Abraham, Isaac and Jacob because of whom
There is no other name other than YHWH.
2We cannot see nor comprehend the glory of
YHWH.
191
Sini’yah (Sinai), and present yourself
to Me there on the top of the
mountain.
3 And no man shall come up with
you, and let no man be seen
throughout all the mountain; let
neither flocks nor herds feed before
that mountain.3
4 So he cut two tablets of stone
like the first ones. Then Musa
(Moses) rose early in the morning
and went up Mount Sini’yah (Sinai),
as hwhy had commanded him; and
he took in his hand the two tablets of
stone.
5 Then hwhy descended in the
cloud and stood with him there, and
made proclamation of the name of
hwhy.4
6 And hwhy passed before him
and proclaimed, hwhy, hwhy5 El
(The Power), merciful and gracious,
longsuffering, and abounding in
goodness and truth,
Enlarged Nun6
7 Keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression
3The mountain is in Saudi Arabia and not in
Egypt.
4 YHWH declares His name not Moses.
5 YHWH declaring His name twice has an
important aspect in the Hebrew thought.
6 The letter nun is a picture of a fish that
swims away in the waters. We receive mercy
from YHWH even though we have done
nothing to deserve mercy. This shows us the
covenants made with our forefathers
we receive mercy on to a thousand
generations even when we go astray, we
have a chance to repent and return.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
and sin, by no means clearing the
guilty, visiting the iniquity of the ahvot
(fathers) upon the children and the
children's children to the third and the
fourth generation.1
8 So Musa (Moses) made haste
and bowed his head toward the
earth,2 and worshiped.
9 Then he said, If now I have
found favour in Your sight, O Adon
hy (YAH), let my Adon hy (YAH), I
pray, go among us, even though we
are a stubborn people; and pardon
our iniquity and our sin, and take us
as Your inheritance.
10 And He said: Behold, I make a
covenant. Before all your people I will
do marvels such as have not been
done in all the earth, nor in any
nation; and all the people among
whom you are shall see the work of
hwhy. For it is an awesome thing that
I will do with you.

11 Observe what I command you
this day. Behold, I am driving out
from before you the Amorite and the
Canaanite and the Hittite and the
Perizzite and the Hivite and the
Yebusite.
12 Take heed to yourself, lest you
make a covenant with the inhabitants
of the land where you are going, lest
it be a snare in your midst.
13 But you shall destroy their
altars, break their sacred pillars, and
cut down their Asherah3 poles.
The enlarged Resh 4
‫ִשׁ ַתּ ֲחוֶה ְלאֵל אַ ֵחר‬
ְ ‫כִּי לֹא ת‬
14 For you shall worship no other el
(power), for hwhy, whose name is
Jealous, is a jealous El (Power),
15 Lest you make a covenant with
the inhabitants of the land, and they
play the harlot with their elohim and
make sacrifice to their elohim, and
one of them invites you and you eat
of his sacrifice,
16 And you take of his daughters
for your sons, and his daughters play

3 YHWH hates Asherah the fertility deity, yet
many Christians foolishly call Passover, the
feast name of Easter which is the name of
Asherah or Ishtarte. Calling it Easter is
nothing short of an abomination before
YHWH.
4 The enlarged resh in the Hebrew word
Akher (Ex 34:14) 'for you will worship no
other Elohim is the counterpart to the large
dalet found in the Shma Israel in Deut 6: 4.
The difference is there we have a dalet and
here we have a resh. The letter resh stands
for the head of chief of a nation, tribe or
people. YHWH wants us to remember never
to call any other elohim One or acknowledge
that false elohim as the creator.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
your sons play the harlot with their
elohim.
17 You shall make no molded
elohim for yourselves.
18 The chag ha Matzot (The Feast
of Unleavened Bread) you shall keep.
Seven days you shall eat matzah
(unleavened bread), as I commanded
you, in the appointed time of the
month of Abib; for in the month of
Abib you came out from Mitzrayim
(Egypt).1
19 All that open the womb are
Mine, and every male bechor
(firstborn) among your livestock,
whether ox or sheep.
20 But the bechor (firstborn) of a
donkey you shall redeem with a
lamb. And if you will not redeem him,
then you shall break his neck. All the
bechor (firstborn) of your sons you
shall redeem. And none shall appear
before Me empty-handed.2
21 Six days you shall work, but on
the seventh day you shall rest; in
plowing time and in harvest you shall
rest.
22 And you shall observe chag ha
Shavuot (The Feast of Pentecost), of
the Bikkurim of wheat harvest, and
the chag ha (The Feast of Sukkot:
Tabernacles, the Ingathering) at the
year's end.
1 The feast of Unleavened Bread is known as
the feast of redemption from bondage and
slavery as we were in sin, and we were
released from sin by Yahushua’s sacrifice on
Passover. It’s not Good Friday but Good
Wednesday when the Passover occurred,
when Yahushua was hung on the tree.
2 When we come up before YHWH on the
major feasts we do not come up empty
handed.
193
23 Three times in the year all your
men shall appear before master,
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
24 For I will cast out the nations
before you and enlarge your borders;
neither will any man covet your land
when you go up to appear before
hwhy your Elohim three times in the
year.
25 You shall not offer the blood of
My sacrifice with chametz (leaven),
nor shall the sacrifice of chag ha
Pesach (The Feast of Passover) be
left until morning.
26 The first of the bikkurim
(Firstfruit) of your land you shall bring
to the Beyth (house) of hwhy your
Elohim. You shall not boil a young
goat in its mother's milk.3
27 Then hwhy said to Musa
(Moses), Write these words, for
according to the tenor of these words
I have made a covenant with you and
with Yah’sar’el (Israel).
28 So he was there with hwhy
forty days and forty nights; he neither
ate lechem (bread) nor drank mayim
(water). And He wrote on the tablets
the words of the covenant, the Ten
Commandments.
29 Now it was so, when Musa
(Moses) came down from Mount
Sini’yah (Sinai) (and the two tablets
of the Testimony were in Musa
(Moses) hand when he came down
from the mountain), that Musa
(Moses) did not know that the skin of
his face shone while he talked with
Him.
3 A pagan practice of boiling the kid in its
own mother’s milk. Jewish people today do
not eat milk with meat. They will eat these
separately to protect themselves from the
breaking of this commandment.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
30 So when Aharon and all the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) saw
Musa (Moses), behold, the skin of his
face shone, and they were afraid to
come near him.
31 Then Musa (Moses) called to
them, and Aharon and all the rulers
of the congregation returned to him;
and Musa (Moses) talked with them.
32 Afterward all the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) came near and he
gave them as commandments all that
hwhy had spoken with him on Mount
Sini’yah (Sinai).
33 And when Musa (Moses) had
finished speaking with them, he put a
veil on his face.
34 But whenever Musa (Moses)
went in before hwhy to speak with
Him, he would take the veil off until
he came out; and he would come out
and speak to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) whatever he had
been commanded.
35 And whenever the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) saw the face of
Musa (Moses), that the skin of Musa
(Moses) face shone, then Musa
(Moses) would put the veil on his
face again, until he went in to speak
with Him.

1 Then Musa (Moses) gathered all
the congregation of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) together, and said
to them, These are the words which
hwhy has commanded you to do:
2 Work shall be done for six days,
but the seventh day shall be a set-
194
apart day for you, a Sabbath of rest
to hwhy. Whoever does any work on
it shall be put to death.
3 You shall kindle no fire
throughout your dwellings on the
Sabbath day.1
4 And Musa (Moses) spoke to all
the congregation of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, This is the
thing which hwhy commanded,
saying:
5 Take from among you an offering
to hwhy. Whoever is of a willing
heart, let him bring it as an offering to
hwhy: gold, silver, and bronze;
6 Blue, purple, and scarlet thread,
fine linen, and goats' hair;
7 Ram skins dyed red, blue skins,2
and acacia wood;
8 Oil for the light, and spices for
the anointing oil and for the sweet
incense;
9 Onyx stones, and stones to be
set in the ephod and in the
breastplate.
10 All who are gifted artisans
among you shall come and make all
that hwhy has commanded:
11 The tabernacle, its tent, its
covering, its clasps, its boards, its
bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
12 The ark and its poles, with the
lid of atonement, and the veil of the
covering;
1 Cooking or any kind of business
transactions on the Saturday Sabbath is a sin
and forbidden. The Sabbath is Friday sunset
to Saturday sunset.

‘badger skins’, yet the badger is an unclean
animal. This was not badger skins but dyed
blue skins of goats and sheep.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
13 The table and its poles, all its
utensils, and the lechem panayim
(bread of faces);
14 Also the menorah for the light,
its utensils, its lamps, and the oil for
the light;
15 The incense altar, its poles, the
anointing oil, the sweet incense, and
the screen for the door at the
entrance of the tabernacle;
16 The altar of burnt offering with
its bronze grating, its poles, all its
utensils, and the laver and its base;
17 The hangings of the court, its
pillars, their sockets, and the screen
for the gate of the court;
18 The pegs of the tabernacle, the
pegs of the court, and their cords;
19 The garments of ministry, for
ministering in the set-apart place the
set-apart garments for Aharon the
kohen (priest) and the garments of
his sons, to minister as kohenim
(priests).
20 And all the congregation of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
departed from the presence of Musa
(Moses).
21 Then everyone came whose
heart was stirred, and everyone
whose spirit was willing, and they
brought hwhy's offering for the work
of the tabernacle of the congregation,
for all its service, and for the set-
apart garments.
22 They came, both men and
women, as many as had a willing
heart, and brought earrings and nose
rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry
of gold, that is, every man who
offered an offering of gold to hwhy.
23 And every man, with whom was
found blue, purple, and scarlet
thread, fine linen, goats' hair, red
skins of rams, and blue skins,
brought them.
195
24 Everyone who offered an
offering of silver or bronze brought
hwhy's offering. And everyone with
whom was found acacia wood for any
work of the service, brought it.
25 All the women who were gifted
artisans spun yarn with their hands,
and brought what they had spun, of
blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen.
26 And all the women whose heart
stirred with wisdom spun yarn of
goats' hair.
27 The rulers brought onyx stones,
and the stones to be set in the ephod
and in the breastplate,
28 and spices and oil for the light,
for the anointing oil, and for the sweet
incense.
29 The children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) brought a freewill offering to
hwhy, all the men and women whose
hearts were willing to bring material
for all kinds of work which hwhy, by
the hand of Musa (Moses), had
commanded to be done.
30 And Musa (Moses) said to the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), See,
hwhy has called by name Betsal’el
the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the
tribe of Yahudah (Judah);
31 And He has filled him with the
Ruach (Set-apart Spirit) of Elohim, in
wisdom and understanding, in
knowledge and all manner of
workmanship,
32 To design artistic works, to
work in gold and silver and bronze,
33 In cutting jewels for setting, in
carving wood, and to work in all
manner of artistic workmanship.
34 And He has put in his heart the
ability to teach, in him and Aholiab
the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
35 He has filled them with skill to
do all manner of work of the engraver
and the designer and the tapestry
maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet
thread, and fine linen, and of the
weaver those who do every work and
those who design artistic works.
Chapter 36
1 And Betsal’el and Aholiab, and
every gifted artisan in whom hwhy
has put wisdom and understanding,
to know how to do all manner of work
for the service of the set-apart place,
shall do according to all that hwhy
has commanded.
2 Then Musa (Moses) called
Betsal’el and Aholiab, and every
gifted artisan in whose heart hwhy
had put wisdom,1 everyone whose
heart was stirred, to come and do the
work.
3 And they received from Musa
(Moses) all the offering which the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) had
brought for the work of the service of
making the set-apart place. So they
continued bringing to him freewill
offerings every morning.
4 Then all the craftsmen who were
doing all the work of the set-apart
place came, each from the work he
was doing,
5 And they spoke to Musa
(Moses), saying, The people bring
much more than enough for the
service of the work which hwhy
commanded us to do.
6 So Musa (Moses) gave a
commandment, and they caused it to
be proclaimed throughout the camp,
1 YHWH chooses which man will receive
wisdom from Him and who does not. It’s not
a free for all.
196
saying, Let neither man nor woman
do any more work for the offering of
the set-apart place. And the people
were restrained from bringing2,
7 For the material they had was
sufficient for all the work to be done
indeed too much.
8 Then all the gifted artisans
among them who worked on the
tabernacle made ten curtains woven
of fine linen, and of blue, purple and,
scarlet thread; with artistic designs of
cherubim they made them.
9 The length of each curtain was
twenty-eight cubits, and the width of
each curtain four cubits; the curtains
were all the same size.
10 And he coupled five curtains to
one another, and the other five
curtains he coupled to one another.
11 He made loops of blue yarn on
the edge of the curtain on the end of
one set; likewise he did on the outer
edge of the other curtain of the
second set.
12 Fifty loops he made on one
curtain, and fifty loops he made on
the edge of the curtain on the end of
the second set; the loops held one
curtain to another.
13 And he made fifty clasps of
gold, and coupled the curtains to one
another with the clasps, that it might
be one tabernacle.
2 Moses stopped the people once enough
money had come in but today many corrupt
Televangelists keep on asking for money as
their agenda is not YHWH’s work but to line
up their own pockets. Have you ever heard a
ministry saying we have enough money
please stop giving? This will be the first when
it happens!
 Shemoth (Exodus)
14 He made curtains of goats' hair
for the tent over the tabernacle; he
made eleven curtains.
15 The length of each curtain was
thirty cubits, and the width of each
curtain four cubits; the eleven
curtains were the same size.
16 He coupled five curtains by
themselves and six curtains by
themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops on the
edge of the curtain that is outermost
in one set, and fifty loops he made on
the edge of the curtain of the second
set.
18 He also made fifty bronze
clasps to couple the tent together,
that it might be one.
19 Then he made a covering for
the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a
covering of blue skins above that.
20 For the tabernacle he made
boards of acacia wood, standing
upright.
21 The length of each board was
ten cubits, and the width of each
board a cubit and a half.
22 Each board had two tenons for
binding one to another. Thus he
made for all the boards of the
tabernacle.
23 And he made boards for the
tabernacle, twenty boards for the
south side.
24 Forty sockets of silver he made
to go under the twenty boards: two
sockets under each of the boards for
its two tenons.
25 And for the other side of the
tabernacle, the north side, he made
twenty boards
26 And their forty sockets of silver:
two sockets under each of the
boards.
27 For the west side of the
tabernacle he made six boards.
197
28 He also made two boards for
the two back corners of the
tabernacle.
29 And they were coupled at the
bottom and coupled together at the
top by one ring. Thus he made both
of them for the two corners.
30 So there were eight boards and
their sockets sixteen sockets of silver
two sockets under each of the
boards.
31 And he made bars of acacia
wood: five for the boards on one side
of the tabernacle,
32 Five bars for the boards on the
other side of the tabernacle, and five
bars for the boards of the tabernacle
on the far side westward.
33 And he made the middle bar to
pass through the boards from one
end to the other.
34 He overlaid the boards with
gold, made their rings of gold to be
holders for the bars, and overlaid the
bars with gold.
35 And he made a veil of blue,
purple, and scarlet thread, and fine
worked linen; it was woven with an
artistic design of cherubim.
36 He made for it four pillars of
acacia wood, and overlaid them with
gold, with their hooks of gold; and he
cast four sockets of silver for them.
37 He also made a hanging for the
entrance to the tabernacle door, of
blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and
fine woven linen, made by a weaver,
38 And its five pillars with their
hooks. And he overlaid their capitals
and their rings with gold, but their five
sockets were of bronze.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
Chapter 37
1 Then Betsal’el made the ark of
acacia wood; three feet nine inches
was its length, two feet three inches
its width, and two feet three inches its
height.
2 He overlaid it with pure gold
inside and outside, and made a
molding of gold all around it.
3 And he cast for it four rings of
gold to be set in its four corners: two
rings on one side, and two rings on
the other side of it.
4 He made poles of acacia wood,
and overlaid them with gold.
5 And he put the poles into the
rings at the sides of the ark, to bear
the ark.
6 He also made the lid of
atonement of pure gold three feet
nine inches was its length and two
feet three inches its width.
7 He made two cherubim of beaten
gold; he made them of one piece at
the two ends of the lid of atonement1:
1 One may say; we are not supposed to
make idols or images of things in heaven, and
sure Cherubim are in heaven but the idea is
not about making idols but about worship
rendered to those idols. So, these two
cherubim are not made for idol worship but
these two show divine love between two
cherubs. The commandment related to not
making images of humans which we could
then render for worship that is what YHWH
was conveying. We find this mentioned in
Deuteronomy 4:15-18, where YHWH explains
why he did not show them any form of
Himself. This was so they would not corrupt
themselves, by making any graven images to
worship. We see this prohibition explained or
midrashed by the prophet Isaiah in 40:17-25,
when we are told in no uncertain terms that
the nations committed idolatry this way and
are still doing it. They are worshipping man
made images that are created by humans
198
8 One cherub at one end on this
side, and the other cherub at the
other end on that side. He made the
cherubim at the two ends of one
piece with the lid of atonement.
9 The cherubim spread out their
wings above, and covered the lid of
atonement with their wings. They
faced one another; the faces of the
cherubim were toward the lid of
atonement.
10 He made the table of acacia
wood; three feet was its length, one
foot six inches its width, and two feet
three inches its height.
11 And he overlaid it with pure
gold, and made a molding of gold all
around it.
12 Also he made a frame of a
handbreadth all around it, and made
a molding of gold for the frame all
around it.
13 And he cast for it four rings of
gold, and put the rings on the four
corners that were at its four legs.
14 The rings were close to the
frame, as holders for the poles to
bear the table.
15 And he made the poles of
acacia wood to bear the table, and
overlaid them with gold.
16 He made of pure gold the
utensils which were on the table: its
dishes, its cups, its bowls, and its
pitchers for pouring.
17 He also made the menorah of
pure gold; of hammered work he
made the menorah. Its shaft, its
branches, its bowls, its ornamental
which many render worship to, calling them
divine. So in context making the images of
cherubim are not prohibited as long as there
is no divine worship rendered to them. If
people start to prostrate before them then
that would constitute idolatry.
 Shemoth (Exodus)
knobs, and its flowers were of the
same piece.
18 And six branches came out of
its sides: three branches of the
menorah out of one side, and three
branches of the menorah out of the
other side.1
19 There were three bowls made
like almond blossoms on one branch,
with an ornamental knob and a
flower, and three bowls made like
almond blossoms on the other
branch, with an ornamental knob and
a flower and so for the six branches
coming out of the menorah.
20 And on the menorah itself were
four bowls made like almond2
blossoms, each with its ornamental

21 There was a knob under the
first two branches of the same, a
knob under the second two branches
of the same, and a knob under the
third two branches of the same,
according to the six branches
extending from it.
22 Their knobs and their branches
were of one piece; all of it was one
hammered piece of pure gold.
23 And he made its seven lamps,
its wick-trimmers, and its trays of
pure gold.
24 Of a talent of pure gold he
made it, with all its utensils.
25 He made the incense altar of
acacia wood. Its length was a cubit
and its width a cubit it was square

and two cubits was its height. Its
horns were of one piece with it.
26 And he overlaid it with pure
gold: its top, its sides all around, and
its horns. He also made for it a
molding of gold all around it.
27 He made two rings of gold for it
under its molding, by its two corners
on both sides, as holders for the
poles with which to bear it.
28 And he made the poles of
acacia wood, and overlaid them with
gold.
29 He also made the set-apart
anointing oil and the pure incense of
sweet spices, according to the work
of the perfumer.

1 He made the altar of burnt
offering of acacia wood; five cubits
was its length and five cubits its width
it was square and its height was
three cubits.
2 He made its horns on its four
corners; the horns were of one piece
with it. And he overlaid it with bronze.
3 He made all the utensils for the
altar: the pans, the shovels, the
basins, the forks, and the fire pans;
all its utensils he made of bronze.3
4 And he made a grate of bronze
network for the altar, under its rim,
midway from the bottom.
5 He cast four rings for the four
corners of the bronze grating, as
holders for the poles.
6 And he made the poles of acacia
wood, and overlaid them with bronze.

7 Then he put the poles into the
rings on the sides of the altar, with
which to bear it. He made the altar
hollow with boards.
8 He made the laver of bronze and
its base of bronze, from the bronze
mirrors of the serving women who
assembled at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
9 Then he made the court on the
south side; the hangings of the court
were of fine woven linen, one
hundred fifty feet long.
10 There were twenty pillars for
them, with twenty bronze sockets.
The hooks of the pillars and their
bands were of silver.
11 On the north side the hangings
were one hundred fifty feet long, with
twenty pillars and their twenty bronze
sockets. The hooks of the pillars and
their bands were of silver.
12 And on the west side there
were hangings of seventy-five feet
long, with ten pillars and their ten
sockets. The hooks of the pillars and
their bands were of silver.
13 For the east side the hangings
were seventy-five feet wide.
14 The hangings of one side of the
gate were twenty-two and a half feet
long, with their three pillars and their
three sockets,
15 And the same for the other side
of the court gate; on this side and
that were hangings twenty-two and a
half feet long, with their three pillars
and their three sockets.
16 All the hangings of the court all
around were of fine woven linen.
17 The sockets for the pillars were
of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and
their bands were of silver, and the
overlay of their capitals was of silver;
and all the pillars of the court had
bands of silver.
200
18 The hanging for the gate of the
court was woven of blue, purple, and
scarlet thread, and of fine woven
linen. The length was thirty feet long,
and the height along its width was
seven and a half feet high,
corresponding to the hangings of the
court.
19 And there were four pillars with
their four sockets of bronze; their
hooks were of silver, and the overlay
of their capitals and their bands was
of silver.
20 All the pegs of the tabernacle,
and of the court all around, were of
bronze.

21 This is the inventory of the
tabernacle, the tabernacle of the
Testimony, which was counted
according to the commandment of
Musa (Moses), for the service of the
Lewites, by the hand of Ithamar, son
of Aharon the kohen (priest).
22 Betsal’el the son of Uri, the son
of Hur, of the tribe of Yahudah
(Judah), made all that hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses).
23 And with him was Aholiab the
son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan, an engraver and designer, a
weaver of blue, purple, and scarlet
thread, and of fine linen.
24 All the gold that was used in all
the work of the set-apart place, that
is, the gold of the offering, was
 Shemoth (Exodus)
twenty-nine talents1 and seven
hundred and thirty shekels, according
to the shekel of the set-apart place.
25 And the silver from those who
were numbered of the congregation
was one hundred talents2 and one
thousand seven hundred and
seventy-five shekels, according to the
shekel of the set-apart place:
26 A bekah for each man (that is,
half a shekel, according to the shekel
of the set-apart place), for everyone
included in the numbering from
twenty years old and above, for six
hundred and three thousand, five
hundred and fifty men.
27 And from the hundred talents of
silver were cast the sockets of the
set-apart place and the bases of the
veil: one hundred sockets from the
hundred talents, one talent for each
socket.
28 Then from the one thousand
seven hundred and seventy-five
shekels he made hooks for the
pillars, overlaid their capitals, and
made bands for them.
29 The offering of bronze was
seventy talents and two thousand
four hundred shekels.
1 We are not fully certain but if we estimate
this by the talent of gold used then it makes
1582KG of Gold excluding the Shekels.
2 One common talent is about 27.2 KG in
weight but the sacred gold Talent is double in
weight. Each nation had a different measure
of the Talent hence why we cannot be certain
what they each considered a Talent. Note;
King David took away the crown of the king
of the children of Ammon which 2 Samuel
12:30 mentions as one Talent in weight. If
we consider this a sacred Talent then King
David would have to wear a crown as heavy
as 55KG which is difficult to imagine.

30 And with it he made the sockets
for the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, the bronze altar, the
bronze grating for it, and all the
utensils for the altar,

around, the bases for the court gate,
all the pegs for the tabernacle, and all
the pegs for the court all around.

1 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet
thread they made garments of
ministry, for ministering in the set-
apart place, and made the set-apart
garments for Aharon, as hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses).
2 He made the ephod of gold,
blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and
of fine woven linen.
3 And they beat the gold into thin
sheets and cut it into threads, to work
it in with the blue, purple, and scarlet
thread and the fine linen, into artistic
designs.
4 They made shoulder straps for it
to couple it together; it was coupled
together at its two edges.
5 And the intricately woven band of
his ephod that was on it was of the
same workmanship, woven of gold,
blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and
of fine woven linen, as hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses).
6 And they set onyx stones,
enclosed in settings of gold; they
were engraved, as signets are
engraved, with the names of the sons
of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 He put them on the shoulders of
the ephod, that they should be stones
for a memorial for the sons of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), as hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses).
8 And he made the breastplate,
artistically woven like the
 Shemoth (Exodus)
workmanship of the ephod, of gold,
blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and
of fine woven linen.
9 They made the breastplate
square by doubling it; a span was its
length and a span its width when
doubled.
10 And they set in it four rows of
stones: a row with a sardius, a topaz,
and an emerald was the first row;
11 The second row, a turquoise, a
sapphire, and a diamond;
12 The third row, a jacinth, an
agate, and an amethyst;
13 The fourth row, a beryl, an
onyx, and a jasper. They were
enclosed in settings of gold in their
mountings.
14 There were twelve stones
according to the names of the sons of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): according to their
names, engraved like a signet, each
one with its own name according to
the twelve tribes.1
15 And they made chains for the
breastplate at the ends, like braided
cords of pure gold.
16 They also made two settings of
gold and two gold rings, and put the
two rings on the two ends of the
breastplate.
17 And they put the two braided
chains of gold in the two rings on the
ends of the breastplate.
18 The two ends of the two
braided chains they fastened in the

two settings, and put them on the
shoulder straps of the ephod in the
front.
19 And they made two rings of
gold and put them on the two ends of
the breastplate, on the edge of it,
which was on the inward side of the
ephod.
20 They made two other gold rings
and put them on the two shoulder
straps, underneath the ephod toward
its front, right at the seam above the
intricately woven band of the ephod.
21 And they bound the breastplate
by means of its rings to the rings of
the ephod with a blue cord, so that it
would be above the intricately woven
band of the ephod, and that the
breastplate would not come loose
from the ephod, as hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses).
22 He made the robe of the ephod
of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was an opening in
the middle of the robe, like the
opening in a coat of mail, with a
woven binding all around the
opening, so that it would not tear.
24 They made on the hem of the
robe pomegranates2 of blue, purple,
and scarlet, and of fine woven linen.
2 Pomegranates were a picture of the
fruitfulness of the tribes. Israel was a culture
that thrived in polygamous marriages and
saw the need to have large extended families.
Unfortunately due to the present model of
serial monogamy and divorce, to take on
another wife is not approved of by men, but
it is by YHWH and His Torah but strict
guidelines are in place in how to conduct
these types of marriages. In Biblical culture
there was no divorce. While the end times

church is stuck with its Roman/Greek model

25 And they made bells of pure
gold, and put the bells between the
pomegranates on the hem of the
robe all around between the
pomegranates:
26 A bell and a pomegranate, a
bell and a pomegranate, all around
the hem of the robe to minister in, as
hwhy had commanded Musa
(Moses).
27 They made tunics, artistically
woven of fine linen, for Aharon and
his sons,
28 A turban of fine linen, exquisite
turbans1 of fine linen, short trousers
of fine woven linen,
29 And a sash of fine woven linen
with blue, purple, and scarlet thread,
made by a weaver, as hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses).
30 Then they made the plate of the
set-apart crown of pure gold, and
wrote on it an inscription like the
engraving of a signet: SET-
APARTNESS TO hwhy.
31 And they tied to it a blue cord,
to fasten it above on the turban, as
hwhy had commanded Musa
(Moses).

tabernacle of the tent of meeting was
finished. And the children of

33 And they brought the
tabernacle to Musa (Moses), the tent
and all its furnishings: its clasps, its
boards, its bars, its pillars, and its
sockets;
34 The covering of ram skins dyed
red, the covering of blue skins, and
the veil of the covering;
35 The ark of the Testimony with
its poles, and the lid of atonement;

the lechem panayim2 (bread of

lamps (the lamps set in order), all its
utensils, and the oil for light;

minister in the set-apart place: the
set-apart garments for Aharon the
kohen (priest), and his sons'
garments, to minister as kohenim
(priests).

commanded Musa (Moses), so the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) did all
the work.

had done it; as hwhy had
commanded, just so they had done it.
And Musa (Moses) blessed them.
Chapter 40
1 Then hwhy spoke to Musa
(Moses), saying:
2 On the first day of the first
month you shall set up the tabernacle
of the tent of meeting.
3 You shall put in it the ark of the
Testimony, and partition off the ark
with the veil.
4 You shall bring in the table and
arrange the things that are to be set
in order on it; and you shall bring in
the menorah and light its lamps.
5 You shall also set the altar of
gold for the incense before the ark of
the Testimony, and put up the
hanging for the door of the
tabernacle.
6 Then you shall set the altar of
the burnt offering before the door of
the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
7 And you shall set the laver
between the tabernacle of the
congregation and the altar, and put
mayim (water) in it.
8 You shall set up the court all
around, and hang up the hangings at
the court gate.
9 And you shall take the anointing
oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all
that is in it; and you shall set-apart all
its utensils, and it shall be set-apart.
10 You shall anoint the altar of the
burnt offering and all its utensils, and
set-apart the altar. The altar shall be
most set-apart.
11 And you shall anoint the laver
and its base, and set it apart.
12 Then you shall bring Aharon and
his sons to the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation and wash them
with mayim (water).
204
13 You shall put the set-apart
garments on Aharon, and anoint him
and set him apart, that he may
minister to Me as kohen (priest).
14 And you shall bring his sons
and clothe them with tunics.
15 You shall anoint them, as you
anointed their father, that they may
minister to Me as kohenim (priests);
for their anointing shall surely be an
everlasting priesthood throughout
their generations.1
16 Thus Musa (Moses) did;
according to all that hwhy had
commanded him, so he did.
17 And it came to pass in the first
month of the second year, on the first
day of the month, that the tabernacle
was raised up.2
18 So Musa (Moses) raised up the
tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set
up its boards, put in its bars, and
raised up its pillars.
19 And he spread out the tent over
the tabernacle and put the covering
of the tent on top of it, as hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses).
20 He took the Testimony and put
it into the ark, inserted the poles
through the rings of the ark, and put
the lid of atonement on top of the ark.
21 And he brought the ark into the
tabernacle, hung up the veil of the
covering, and partitioned off the ark
of the Testimony, as hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses).

and sprinkle the blood round about

tabernacle of the congregation.
6 And he shall skin the burnt offering,
and cut it into pieces.
7 And the sons of Aharon the Kohen

and lay the wood in the right order on
the fire:

sons shall lay the parts, the head, and

be of fine flour;2 and he shall pour oil

offering shall be Aharon's and his
sons': it is a thing most set-apart of the

offering baked in the oven, it shall be

flour mingled with oil, or matzah

offering shall be Aharon's and his

the kidneys, it shall he take away.2
5 And Aharon's sons shall burn it on
the altar upon the burnt sacrifice,
which is upon the wood that is on the
fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto hwhy.
6 And if his offering be for a sacrifice
of shalom offering unto hwhy of the
flock; male or female, he shall offer it
without blemish.
7 If he offer a lamb for his offering,
then shall he offer it before hwhy.
8 And he shall lay his hand upon the
head of his offering, and kill it before
the tabernacle of the congregation:
and Aharon's sons shall sprinkle the
blood thereof round about upon the
altar.
9 And he shall offer of the sacrifice of
the shalom offering an offering made
by fire unto hwhy; its fat, all the fat tail
which he removes close to the
backbone, and the fat that covers the
inwards and all the fat that is on the
inwards,
10 And the two kidneys, and the fat
that is upon them, which is by the
loins, and the covers above the liver,
with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
11 And the Kohen (priest) shall burn
it upon the altar: it is the food of the
offering made by fire unto hwhy.
12 And if his offering be a goat, then
he shall offer it before hwhy.
2 YHWH was smart to remove all the fat and
the elements of the organs that would today
give us lots of cholesterol and hence heart
disease and death. His people did not
experience these kinds of modern diseases
because they stayed away from these foods.
Needless amount of people are dying today as
a result of disobedience and lack of instructions
in body health.
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
13 And he shall lay his hand upon
the head of it, and kill it before the
tabernacle of the congregation: and
the sons of Aharon shall sprinkle the
blood thereof upon the altar round
about.
14 And he shall offer thereof his
offering, even an offering made by fire
unto hwhy the fat that covers the
inwards, and all the fat that is upon the
inwards,
15 And the two kidneys, and the fat
that is upon them, which is by the
loins, and the covers above the liver,
with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
16 And the kohen (priest) shall burn
them upon the altar: it is the food of
the offering made by fire for a sweet
savour: all the fat is for hwhy.
17 It shall be an everlasting statute
for your generations throughout all
your dwellings, that you eat neither fat
nor blood.1
Chapter 4
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, If a soul
shall sin through ignorance against
any of the commandments of hwhy
concerning things which ought not to
be done, and shall do against any of
them:
3 If the Kohen (priest)2 that is
1 Blood and fat are both so harmful to the
body that YHWH made sure Israel stayed away
from such practices, unlike the heathen
nations. By consuming the blood of an animal
you actually also consume the soul and that
has spiritual ramifications.
2 The kohen’s sins are not exempt from
punishment just because he stands close to
209
anointed do sin according to the sin of
the people; then let him bring for his
sin, which he has sinned, a young
bullock without blemish unto hwhy for
a sin offering.
4 And he shall bring the bullock unto
the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before hwhy; and shall
lay his hand upon the bullock's head,3
and kill the bullock before hwhy.
5 And the Kohen (priest) that is
anointed shall take of the bullock's
blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of
the congregation:
6 And the Kohen (priest) shall dip his
finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the
blood seven times before hwhy,
before the veil of the sanctuary.
7 And the kohen (priest) shall put
some of the blood upon the horns of
the altar of sweet incense before
hwhy, which is in the tabernacle of the
congregation; and shall pour all the
blood of the bullock at the bottom of
the altar of the burnt offering, which is
at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
8 And he shall take off from it all the
fat of the bullock for the sin offering;
the fat that covers the inwards, and all
the fat that is upon the inwards,
9 And the two kidneys, and the fat
that is upon them, which is by the
loins, and the lobe above the liver,
with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
10 As it was taken off from the
bullock of the sacrifice of shalom
(peace) offerings: and the kohen
(priest) shall burn them upon the altar
YHWH. For this reason, he is more
accountable.
3 This is a substitution offering. The animal
takes the sin upon himself just like Yahushua
took our sins upon himself.
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
of the burnt offering.
11 And the skin of the bullock, and all
his flesh, with his head, and with his
legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
12 Even the whole bullock shall he
carry forth outside the camp unto a
clean place, where the ashes are
poured out, and burn him on the wood
with fire: where the ashes are poured
out shall he be burnt.
13 And if the whole congregation of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) sin through
ignorance, and the thing be hid from
the eyes of the assembly, and they
have done somewhat against any of
the commandments of hwhy
concerning things which should not be
done, and are guilty;
14 When the sin, which they have
sinned against it, is known, then the
congregation shall offer a young
bullock1 for the sin, and bring him
before the tabernacle of the
congregation.
15 And the elders of the
congregation shall lay their hands
upon the head of the bullock before
hwhy and the bullock shall be killed
before hwhy.
1 Animal sacrifices only existed for
unintentional sins and you will find no sacrifice
for intentional sins. Unless YHWH provided
grace from the start there would be no
atonement for intentional sin for anyone. The
Yom Kippurim sacrifice that includes intentional
sins was only acceptable if YHWH approved of
the people’s heart. Else, it could be rendered
null and void as He did when Yahushua was
killed and raised. And after that for forty years,
the sacrifice of the Yom Kippurim was not
accepted by YHWH. The scarlet string that was
placed on the Temple altar that used to turn
white indicating that YHWH had accepted the
sacrifice, stopped turning white and remained
scarlet after Yahushua’s death for forty years
until the destruction of the second Temple.
210
16 And the Kohen (priest) that is
anointed shall bring of the bullock's
blood to the tabernacle of the
congregation:
17 And the Kohen (priest) shall dip
his finger in some of the blood, and
sprinkle it seven times before hwhy,
even before the veil.
18 And he shall put some of the
blood upon the horns of the altar
which is before hwhy, that is in the
tabernacle of the congregation, and
shall pour out all the blood at the
bottom of the altar of the burnt
offering, which is at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
19 And he shall take all his fat from
him, and burn it upon the altar.
20 And he shall do with the bullock
as he did with the bullock for a sin
offering, so shall he do with this: and
the kohen (priest) shall make
atonement for them, and it shall be
forgiven them.
21 And he shall carry forth the
bullock outside the camp, and burn it
as he burned the first bullock: it is a
sin offering for the congregation.
22 When a ruler has sinned, and
done somewhat through ignorance
against any of the commandments of
hwhy his Elohim concerning things
which should not be done, and is
guilty;
23 Or if his sin, wherein he has
sinned, come to his knowledge; he
shall bring his offering, a kid of the
goats, a male without blemish:
24 And he shall lay his hand upon
the head of the goat, and kill it in the
place where they kill the burnt offering
before hwhy it is a sin offering.
25 And the kohen (priest) shall take
of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the
altar of burnt offering, and shall pour
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
out the blood at the bottom of the altar
of burnt offering.
26 And he shall burn all the fat upon
the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of
shalom (peace) offerings: and the
kohen (priest) shall make atonement
for him as concerning his sin, and it
shall be forgiven him.
27 And if any one of the common
people sin through ignorance, while he
does somewhat against any of the
commandments of hwhy concerning
things which ought not to be done, and
be guilty;
28 Or if his sin, which he has sinned,
come to his knowledge: then he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a
female without blemish, for his sin
which he has sinned.
29 And he shall lay his hand upon
the head1 of the sin offering, and slay
the sin offering in the place of the
burnt offering.
30 And the kohen (priest) shall take
of the blood thereof with his finger,
and put it upon the horns of the altar of
burnt offering, and shall pour out all
the blood thereof at the bottom of the
altar.
31 And he shall take away all the fat
thereof, as the fat is taken away from
off the sacrifice of shalom (peace)
offerings; and the kohen (priest) shall
burn it upon the altar for a sweet
savour unto hwhy; and the kohen
(priest) shall make an atonement for
him, and it shall be forgiven him.
32 And if he brings a lamb for a sin
offering, he shall bring it a female

ones, the Muslims will get a goat and lay their
hands on the goat and kill the goat to ward off
evil. This practice has its roots in Israelite
culture.
211
without blemish.
33 And he shall lay his hand upon
the head of the sin offering, and slay it
for a sin offering in the place where
they kill the burnt offering.
34 And the kohen (priest) shall take
of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the
altar of burnt offering, and shall pour
out all the blood thereof at the bottom
of the altar:
35 And he shall take away all the fat
thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken
away from the sacrifice of the shalom
(peace) offerings; and the kohen
(priest) shall burn them upon the altar,
according to the offerings made by fire
unto hwhy and the kohen (priest) shall
make an atonement for his sin that he
has committed, and it shall be forgiven
him.
Chapter 5
1 And if a soul sin, and hear the
voice of swearing, and is a witness,
whether he has seen or known of it; if
he do not utter it, then he shall bear
his iniquity.
2 Or if a soul touch any unclean
thing, whether it be a carcass of an
unclean beast, or a carcass of unclean
cattle, or the carcass of unclean
crawling things, and if it be hidden
from him; he also shall be unclean,
and guilty.
3 Or if he touch the uncleanness of
man, whatsoever uncleanness it be
that a man shall be defiled with, and it
be hid from him; when he knows of it,
then he shall be guilty.
4 Or if a soul swear, pronouncing
with his lips to do evil, or to do good,
whatsoever it be that a man shall
pronounce with an oath, and it be hid
from him; when he knows of it, then he
shall be guilty in one of these.
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
5 And it shall be, when he shall be
guilty in one of these things, that he
shall confess that he has sinned in
that thing:
6 And he shall bring his trespass
offering unto hwhy for his sin which he
has sinned, a female from the flock, a
lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin
offering; and the kohen (priest) shall
make atonement for him concerning
his sin.
7 And if he be not able to bring a
lamb, then he shall bring for his
trespass, which he has committed, two
turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
unto hwhy one for a sin offering, and
the other for a burnt offering.
8 And he shall bring them unto the
kohen (priest), who shall offer that
which is for the sin offering first, and
wring off its head from its neck, but
shall not divide it asunder:
9 And he shall sprinkle the blood of
the sin offering upon the wall of the
altar; and the rest of the blood shall be
wrung out at the base of the altar: it is
a sin offering.
10 And he shall offer the second for
a burnt offering, according to the
manner: and the kohen (priest) shall
make atonement for him for his sin
which he has sinned, and it shall be
forgiven him.
11 But if he be not able to bring two
turtledoves, or two young pigeons,
then he that sinned shall bring for his
offering the tenth part of an ephah of
fine flour1 for a sin offering; he shall
put no oil upon it, neither shall he put
any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin
offering.
1 Someone who could not afford the birds
could bring in flour so YHWH accommodated
all people rich and poor.
212
12 Then shall he bring it to the kohen
(priest), and the kohen (priest) shall
take his handful of it, even a memorial
thereof, and burn it on the altar,
according to the offerings made by fire
unto hwhy it is a sin offering.
13 And the kohen (priest) shall make
atonement for him as touching his sin
that he has sinned in one of these,
and it shall be forgiven him: and the
remainder shall be the kohen's
(priest), as a grain offering.
14 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
15 If a soul commit a trespass, and
sin through ignorance, in the set-apart
things of hwhy; then he shall bring for
his trespass unto hwhy a ram without
blemish out of the flocks, with your
estimation by shekels of silver, after
the shekel of the sanctuary, for a
trespass offering:
16 And he shall make amends for the
harm that he has done in the set-apart
thing, and shall add the fifth part
thereto, and give it unto the kohen
(priest) and the kohen (priest) shall
make atonement for him with the ram
of the trespass offering, and it shall be
forgiven him.
17 And if a soul sin, and commit any
of these things which are forbidden to
be done by the commandments of
hwhy though he knew it not, yet he is
guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
18 And he shall bring a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with your
estimation, for a trespass offering,
unto the kohen (priest) and the kohen
(priest) shall make atonement for him
concerning his ignorance wherein he
erred and knew it not, and it shall be
forgiven him.
19 It is a trespass offering: he has
certainly trespassed against hwhy.

1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,

against hwhy, and lie unto his
neighbour in that which was delivered
him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a
thing taken away by violence, or has
deceived his neighbour;
3 Or have found that which was lost,
and lies concerning it, and swears
falsely; in any of all these that a man
does, sinning therein:
4 Then it shall be, because he has
sinned, and is guilty, that he shall
restore that which he took violently
away, or the thing which he has
deceitfully gotten, or that which was
delivered him to keep, or the lost thing
which he found,
5 Or all that about which he has
sworn falsely; he shall even restore it
in the principal, and shall add the fifth
part more thereto, and give it unto him
to whom it belongs, in the day of his
trespass offering.

offering unto hwhy, a ram without
blemish out of the flock, with your
estimation, for a trespass offering,
unto the kohen (priest):

shall be forgiven him for any thing of

therein.

9 Command Aharon and his sons,
saying, This is the instruction of the
burnt offering: It is the burnt offering,
because of the burning upon the altar
all night unto the morning, and the fire
of the altar shall be burning in it.
10 And the kohen (priest) shall put
on his linen garment, and his linen
undergarments shall he put upon his
flesh, and take up the ashes which the
fire has consumed with the burnt
offering on the altar, and he shall put
them beside the altar.
11 And he shall put off his garments,
and put on other garments, and carry
forth the ashes outside the camp unto
a clean place.
12 And the fire upon the altar shall
be burning in it; it shall not be put out:
and the kohen (priest) shall burn wood
on it every morning, and lay the burnt
offering in arrangement; and he shall
burn thereon the fat of the shalom
(peace) offerings.
13 The fire shall ever be burning
upon the altar; it shall never go out.

grain offering: the sons of Aharon shall
offer it before hwhy, before the altar.
15 And he shall take of it his handful,
of the flour of the grain offering, and of
the oil thereof, and all the frankincense
which is upon the grain offering, and
shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet
savour, even the memorial of it, unto
hwhy.

Aharon and his sons eat: with matzah
(unleavened bread) shall it be eaten in
the set-apart place; in the court of the
tabernacle of the congregation they
shall eat it.
17 It shall not be baked with leaven. I
have given it unto them for their
portion of my offerings made by fire; it
is most set-apart, as is the sin offering,
and as the trespass offering.
18 All the males among the children
of Aharon shall eat of it. It shall be a
statute forever in your generations
concerning the offerings of hwhy
made by fire: every one that touches it
shall be set-apart.
19 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
20 This is the offering of Aharon and
of his sons, which they shall offer unto
hwhy in the day when he is anointed;
the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour
for a grain offering perpetual, half of it
in the morning, and half thereof at
night.
21 In a pan it shall be made with oil;
and when it is baked, you shall bring it
in: and the baked pieces of the grain
offering shall You offer for a sweet
savour unto hwhy.
22 And the kohen (priest) of his sons
that is anointed in his stead shall offer
it: it is a statute forever unto hwhy it
shall be wholly burnt.
23 For every grain offering for the
kohen (priest) shall be wholly burnt: it
shall not be eaten.
24 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
25 Speak unto Aharon and to his
sons, saying, This is the instruction of
the sin offering: In the place where the
burnt offering is killed shall the sin
offering be killed before hwhy it is
most set-apart.
26 The kohen (priest) that offers it for
214
sin shall eat it: in the set-apart place
shall it be eaten, in the court of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
27 Whatsoever shall touch the flesh
thereof shall be set-apart: and when
there is sprinkled of the blood thereof
upon any garment, You shall wash
that whereon it was sprinkled in the
set-apart place.
28 But the earthen vessel wherein it
is cooked shall be broken: and if it be
cooked in a brazen pot, it shall be both
scoured, and rinsed in mayim (water).
29 All the males among the kohenim
(priests) shall eat thereof: it is most
set-apart.
30 And no sin offering, whereof any
of the blood is brought into the
tabernacle of the congregation to
reconcile in the set-apart place, shall
be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
Chapter 7
1 Likewise this is the instruction of
the trespass offering: it is most set-
apart.
2 In the place where they kill the
burnt offering shall they kill the
trespass offering: and its blood shall
he sprinkled round about upon the
altar.
3 And he shall offer of it all the fat
thereof; the tail, and the fat that covers
the inwards,
4 And the two kidneys, and the fat
that is on them, which is by the loins,
and the lobe that is above the liver,
with the kidneys, he shall take away:
5 And the kohen (priest) shall burn
them upon the altar for an offering
made by fire unto hwhy it is a trespass
offering.
6 Every male among the kohenim
(priests) shall eat thereof: it shall be
eaten in the set-apart place: it is most
set-apart.
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
7 As the sin offering is, so is the
trespass offering: there is one
instruction for them: the kohen (priest)
that makes atonement therewith shall
have it.
8 And the kohen (priest) that offers
any man's burnt offering, even the
kohen (priest) shall have to himself the
skin of the burnt offering which he has
offered.
9 And all the grain offering that is
baked in the oven, and all that is
dressed in the frying-pan, and in the
pan, shall be the kohen's (priest) that
offered it.
10 And every grain offering, mingled
with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of
Aharon have, one as much as
another.
11 And this is the instruction of the
sacrifice of shalom (peace) offerings,
which he shall offer unto hwhy.
12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving,
then he shall offer with the sacrifice of
thanksgiving matzah (unleavened)
cakes mingled with oil, and matzah
(unleavened) wafers anointed with oil,
and cakes mingled with oil, of fine
flour, fried.
13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer
for his offering leavened lechem
(bread) with the sacrifice of
thanksgiving of his shalom (peace)
offerings.
14 And of it he shall offer one out of
the whole sacrifice for an heave
offering unto hwhy., and it shall be the
kohen's (priest) that sprinkles the
blood of the shalom (peace) offerings.
15 And the flesh of the sacrifice of
his shalom (peace) offerings for
thanksgiving shall be eaten the same
day that it is offered; he shall not leave
any of it until the morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering
be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it
215
shall be eaten the same day that he
offers his sacrifice: and the day after
also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
17 But the remainder of the flesh of
the sacrifice on the third day shall be
burnt with fire.
18 And if any of the flesh of the
sacrifice of his shalom (peace)
offerings be eaten at all on the third
day, it shall not be accepted, neither
shall it be imputed unto him that offers
it: it shall be an abomination, and the
soul that eats of it shall bear his
iniquity.
19 And the flesh that touches any
unclean thing shall not be eaten; it
shall be burnt with fire: and as for the
flesh, all that be clean shall eat it.
20 But the soul that eats of the flesh
of the sacrifice of shalom (peace)
offerings that pertain unto hwhy,
having his uncleanness upon him,
even that soul shall be cut off from his
people.
21 Moreover the soul that shall touch
any unclean thing, as the uncleanness
of man, or any unclean beast, or any
abominable unclean thing, and eat of
the flesh of the sacrifice of shalom
(peace) offerings, which pertain unto
hwhy, even that soul shall be cut off
from his people.
22 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
23 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, You shall
eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of
sheep, or of goat.
24 And the fat of the animal that dies
of itself, and the fat of that which is
torn by other animals, may be used in
any other use: but you shall in no wise
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
eat of it.1
25 For whosoever eats the fat of the
animal, of which men offer an offering
made by fire unto hwhy, even the
person that eats it shall be cut off from
his people.
26 Moreover you shall eat no manner
of blood, whether it be of birds or of
any animals, in any of your dwellings.
27 Whatsoever person it be that eats
any manner of blood, even that soul
shall be cut off from his people.2
28 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
29 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, He that
offers the sacrifice of his shalom
(peace) offerings unto hwhy shall
bring his oblation unto hwhy of the
sacrifice of his shalom (peace)
offerings.
30 His own hands shall bring the
offerings of hwhy made by fire, the fat
with the breast, it shall he bring, that
the breast may be waved for a wave
offering before hwhy.
31 And the kohen (priest) shall burn
the fat upon the altar: but the breast
shall be Aharon's and his sons.’
32 And the right thigh shall you give
unto the kohen (priest) for a
contribution offering of the sacrifices of
your shalom (peace) offerings.
33 He among the sons of Aharon,
that offers the blood of the shalom
(peace) offerings, and the fat, shall
have the right thigh for his part.
34 For the wave breast and the
1 Torn animals or hunted animals are not to be
eaten unless they are cut correctly by slitting
the throat and letting all the blood drip to the
earth.
2 Any blood eaten is a sin, you are technically
consuming the soul of the animal by doing this.
216
contribution thigh have I taken of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) from off
the sacrifices of their shalom (peace)
offerings, and have given them unto
Aharon the kohen (priest) and unto his
sons by a statute forever from among
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
35 This is the portion of the
anointing of Aharon, and of the
anointing of his sons, out of the
offerings of hwhy made by fire, in the
day when he presented them to
minister unto hwhy in the kohen's
(priest) office;
36 Which hwhy commanded to be
given them of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), in the day that he
anointed them, by a statute forever
throughout their generations.
37 This is the instruction of the burnt
offering, of the grain offering, and of
the sin offering, and of the trespass
offering, and of the consecrations, and
of the sacrifice of the shalom (peace)
offerings;
38 Which hwhy commanded Musa
(Moses) in Mount Sini’yah (Sinai), in
the day that he commanded the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to offer
their offerings unto hwhy, in the desert
of Sini’yah (Sinai).
Chapter 8
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Take Aharon and his sons with
him, and the garments, and the
anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin
offering, and two rams, and a basket
of matzah (unleavened bread);
3 And you gather all the
congregation together unto the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And Musa (Moses) did as hwhy
commanded him; and the assembly
was gathered together unto the door
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
5 And Musa (Moses) said unto the
congregation, This is the thing which
hwhy commanded to be done.
6 And Musa (Moses) brought Aharon
and his sons, and washed them with
mayim (water).
7 And he put upon him the coat, and
girded him with the girdle, and clothed
him with the robe, and put the ephod
upon him, and he girded him with the
curious girdle of the ephod, and bound
it unto him there.
8 And he put the breastplate upon
him: also he put in the breastplate the
Urim and the Thummim.
9 And he put the turban upon his
head; also upon the turban, even upon
his forefront, did he put the golden
plate, the set-apart crown; as hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses).
10 And Musa (Moses) took the
anointing oil, and anointed the

upon Aharon's head, and anointed
him, to sanctify him.

Aharon's sons, and put coats upon
them, and girded them with girdles,
and put turban’s1 upon them; as hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses).

worn by all Israelites priests or those claiming

and that means all saved men and women

A naked head is a sign of disobedience before
YHWH as Christians do today.

14 And he brought the bullock for the
sin offering: and Aharon and his sons
laid their hands upon the head of the
bullock for the sin offering.
15 And he slaughtered it; and Musa
(Moses) took the blood, and put it
upon the horns of the altar round
about with his finger, and purified the
altar, and poured the blood at the base
of the altar, and sanctified it, to make
reconciliation upon it.
16 And he took all the fat that was
upon the inwards, and the lobe above
the liver, and the two kidneys, and
their fat, and Musa (Moses) burned it
upon the altar.
17 But the bullock, and its hide, its
flesh, and its dung, he burnt with fire
outside the camp; as hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses).
18 And he brought the ram for the
burnt offering: and Aharon and his
sons laid their hands upon the head of
the ram.

(Moses) sprinkled the blood upon the

Chapter 9
1 And it came to pass on the eighth
day, that Musa (Moses) called Aharon
and his sons, and the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel);
2 And he said unto Aharon, take a
young calf for a sin offering, and a ram
for a burnt offering, without blemish,
and offer them before hwhy.
3 And unto the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) You shall speak, saying, take a
kid of the goats for a sin offering; and
a calf and a lamb, both of the first
year, without blemish, for a burnt
offering;
4 Also a bullock and a ram for
shalom (peace) offerings, to sacrifice
before hwhy and a grain offering
mingled with oil, for today hwhy will
appear unto you.
5 And they brought that which Musa
(Moses) commanded before the
tabernacle of the congregation: and all
the congregation drew near and stood
before hwhy.
6 And Musa (Moses) said, This is the
thing which hwhy commanded that
you should do: and the glory of hwhy
shall appear unto you.
7 And Musa (Moses) said unto
Aharon, Go unto the altar, and offer
your sin offering, and your burnt
offering, and make atonement for
yourself, and for the people: and offer
the offering of the people, and make
atonement for them; as hwhy
commanded.
8 Aharon therefore went unto the
altar, and slaughtered the calf for the
sin offering, which was for himself.
9 And the sons of Aharon brought
219
the blood unto him: and he dipped his
finger in the blood, and put it upon the
horns of the altar, and poured out the
blood at the bottom of the altar:
10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and
the lobe above the liver of the sin
offering, he burnt upon the altar; as
hwhy commanded Musa (Moses).
11 And the flesh and the hide he
burnt with fire outside the camp.
12 And he slaughtered the burnt
offering; and Aharon's sons presented
unto him the blood, which he sprinkled
round about upon the altar.
13 And they presented the burnt
offering unto him, with the pieces
thereof, and the head: and he burnt
them upon the altar.
14 And he did wash the inwards and
the legs, and burnt them upon the
burnt offering on the altar.
15 And he brought the people's
offering, and took the goat, which was
the sin offering for the people, and
slew it, and offered it for sin, as the
first.
16 And he brought the burnt offering,
and offered it according to the manner.
17 And he brought the grain offering,
and took a handful of it and burnt it
upon the altar, beside the burnt
sacrifice of the morning.
18 He slaughtered also the bullock
and the ram for a sacrifice of shalom
(peace) offerings, which was for the
people: and Aharon's sons presented
unto him the blood, which he sprinkled
upon the altar round about,
19 And the fat of the bullock and of
the ram, the tail, and that which covers
the inwards, and the kidneys, and the
lobe above the liver:
20 And they put the fat upon the
breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the
altar:
21 And the breasts and the right

thigh Aharon waved for a wave
offering before hwhy as Musa (Moses)
commanded.
22 And Aharon lifted up his hands
toward the people, and blessed them,1
and came down from offering of the
sin offering, and the burnt offering, and
shalom (peace) offerings.
23 And Musa (Moses) and Aharon
went into the tabernacle of the
congregation, and came out, and
blessed the people: and the glory of
hwhy appeared unto all the people.
24 And there came a fire out from
before hwhy and consumed upon the
altar the burnt offering and the fat
which when all the people saw, they
shouted, and fell on their faces.
Chapter 10
1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of
Aharon, took either of them his censer,
and put fire therein, and put incense
thereon, and offered profaned fire2
1 This is the High Priestly blessing that Aharon
was performing. He lifted both hands lifted
with the right hand at shoulder length and the
left a little lower then the thumb and first two
fingers which he separated. This was followed
by the last two fingers and the same on the
left hand. The palm is faced downward as he
recited the benediction. Yahushua did the same
thing before He departed from His Disciples in
Luke 24:50.
2 The fire was not taken from the altar of the
burnt offering but could have been common
household fire. It is also possible they were
dressed inappropriately and were drunk. The
priests were commanded not to be under the
influence of drink during the service as YHWH
warns only a few verses later about this again.
But note having no head-covering is also an
offence so this is also a possibility as stated in
verse 6 and drinking in verse 9. They thought
since they were Aharon’s sons they could get
special favour but YHWH is impartial to
220
before hwhy which he commanded
them not.
2 And there went out fire from hwhy
and devoured them, and they died
before hwhy.
3 Then Musa (Moses) said unto
Aharon, This is it that hwhy spoke,
saying, I will be sanctified in them that
come near me, and before all the
people I will be glorified. And Aharon
held his shalom (peace).
4 And Musa (Moses) called Misha’el
and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzzi’el the
uncle of Aharon, and said unto them,
Come near, carry your brethren from
before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5 So they went near, and carried
them in their coats out of the camp; as
Musa (Moses) had said.
6 And Musa (Moses) said unto
Aharon, and unto El’ezar and unto
Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your
heads,3 neither rend your clothes; lest
you die, and lest wrath come upon all
the people: but let your brethren, the
whole Beyth (house) of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), bewail the burning which
hwhy has kindled.
7 And you shall not go out from the
judgment, all proper procedures must be
followed. These two men could not wait to
become the next High Priest. They were
conspiring with each other about the possibility
that one of them would soon take over the
duties of this office, and wanted their father
dead and out of the way.
3 It is an offence to stand before YHWH with
our heads uncovered. Still, many foolishly do
this today without knowing that this offence
can get you killed. It is grievous standing
before a righteous set-apart king and having
heads uncovered. Having ones head uncovered
signifies worship to Satan and shows rebellion
to the king. This is one of Satan’s offences that
led to his fall. When Yahushua returns this will
be enforced by his rule of Torah.

door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest you die: for the
anointing oil of hwhy is upon you. And
they did according to the word of Musa
(Moses).
8 And hwhy spoke unto Aharon,
saying,
9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink,
you, nor your sons with you, when you
go into the tabernacle of the
congregation,1 lest you die: it shall be
a statute forever throughout your
generations:2
10 And that you may distinguish
between set-apart and not set-apart,
and between clean and unclean;3
11 And that you may teach the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) all the
statutes which hwhy has spoken unto
them by the hand of Musa (Moses).
12 And Musa (Moses) spoke unto
Aharon, and unto El’ezar and unto
Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take
the grain offering that remained of the
offerings of hwhy made by fire, and
eat it without the leaven beside the
1 This is another offence that the sons of
Aharon committed and paid for with their lives
apart from the head being uncovered. They
were drinking alcohol or wine in the Tabernacle
which was forbidden. It’s obvious they did not
know the difference between a bar and a set-
apart place!
2 YHWH spoke this soon after the incident with
Aharon’s sons, so likely they were drunk and
did not cover their heads. As in the previous
verse, Moses warns not to uncover their heads
yet most of Christianity realises little of how
selfish and unrighteous it is, to stand before
YHWH without head coverings.
3 Unfortunately many Christian Pastors have
still not learnt the difference between what is
clean and what is unclean. They continue to
sow disobedience and lead their flock down the
same path.

13 And you shall eat it in the set-
apart place, because it is your due,
and your sons' due, of the sacrifices of
hwhy made by fire: for so I am
commanded.
14 And the wave breast and
contribution thigh shall you eat in a
clean place; you, and your sons, and
your daughters with you: for they be
your due, and your sons' due, which
are given out of the sacrifices of
shalom (peace) offerings of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
15 The heave shoulder and the wave
breast shall they bring with the
offerings made by fire of the fat, to
wave it for a wave offering before
hwhy; and it shall be your, and your
sons' with you, by a statute forever; as
hwhy has commanded.
16 And Musa (Moses) diligently
sought the goat of the sin offering,
and, behold, it was burnt: and he was
angry with El’ezar and Ithamar, the
sons of Aharon which were left alive,
saying,
17 Wherefore have you not eaten the
sin offering in the set-apart place,
seeing it is most set-apart, and Elohim
has given it you to bear the iniquity of
the congregation, to make atonement
for them before hwhy?
18 Behold, the blood of it was not
brought in within the set-apart place
you should indeed have eaten it in the
set-apart place, as I commanded.4
19 And Aharon said unto Musa
(Moses), Behold, this day have they
offered their sin offering and their
burnt offering before hwhy and such
things have befallen me: and if I had

eaten the sin offering today, should it
have been accepted in the sight of
hwhy?

that, he was content.

1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and to Aharon, saying unto
them,
2 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying these are
the animals which you shall eat among
all the animals that are on the earth.
3 Whatever divides the hoof, and is
cloven footed, and chewing the cud,
among the animals that shall you eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall you not
eat of them that chew the cud, or of
them that divide the hoof: as the
camel, because he chews the cud, but
the hoof is not divided; he is unclean
unto you.
5 And the rabbit, because he chews
the cud, but his hoof is not divided; he
is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare, because he chews
the cud, but the hoof is not divided; he
is unclean unto you.
7 And the pig though he has a
divided hoof and be cloven footed, yet
he chews not the cud; he is unclean to
you.
8 Of their flesh shall you not eat, and
their carcass shall you not touch; they
are unclean to you.
9 These shall you eat of all that are
in the mayim (water): whatsoever has
fins and scales in the mayim (water),
in the seas, and in the rivers, them
222
shall you eat.1
10 And all that have not fins and
scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of
all that move in the mayim (water),
and of any living thing which is in the
mayim (water), they shall be an
abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an
abomination unto you; you shall not
eat of their flesh, but you shall have
their carcasses in abomination.
12 Whatever has no fins and no
scales in the mayim (water), that shall
be an abomination unto you.2
13 And these are they which you
shall have in abomination among the
birds; they shall not be eaten, they are
an abomination: the eagle, and the
vulture, and the black vulture,
14 And the kite, and various species
of falcons;
15 The various species of crows;
16 And the Ostrich, and the night
hawk, and the Seagull, and the hawk
1 All fish regardless of size need to qualify by
having fins and scales as a must to eat. If a
fish has only fins and no scales then it is
unclean and should not be eaten, such as
dolphins, sharks and various other varieties of
popular fish.
2 So if a fish has fins but no scales then it is
forbidden to eat. For instance the ray fish is
unclean, and so are certain seafood such as
shrimp, crab, lobster, shellfish and many other
sea crawling creatures. They are known as
scavengers and bottom feeders and feed on
dead flesh, fish excrement and hazardous
chemicals, which can carry disease to humans
via the food chain. Meanwhile, Christians and
even some Jewish people disobey YHWH and
feast on bottom feeders and unclean foods as
part of their daily food consumption. No
wonder many people are sick and dying today
because of the unclean foods they are eating.
YHWH wanted to keep His people alive without
disease so they would have longevity of life.

and when the hair in the sore is turned
white, and the sore in sight be deeper
than the skin of his flesh, it is a
disease of leprosy: and the Kohen

pronounce him unclean.
4 If the bright spot be white in the
skin of his flesh, and in sight be not
deeper than the skin and the hair
thereof be not turned white; then the
kohen (priest) shall shut up him that
has the disease seven days:

skin, and the leprosy covers all the
skin of him that has the sore from his
head even to his foot, wheresoever
the kohen (priest) sees;
13 Then the Kohen (priest) shall
consider: and, behold, if the leprosy
has covered all his flesh, he shall
pronounce him clean that has the
plague: it is all turned white: he is
clean.
14 But when raw flesh appears in
him, he shall be unclean.
15 And the Kohen (priest) shall see
the raw flesh, and pronounce him to
be unclean: for the raw flesh is
unclean, it is leprosy.
16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and
be changed unto white, he shall come
to see the Kohen (priest);
17 And the Kohen (priest) shall see
him: and, behold, if the sore be turned
into white; then the Kohen (priest)
shall pronounce him clean that has the
plague: he is clean.
18 The flesh also, in which, even in
the skin thereof, was a boil, and is
healed,
19 And in the place of the boil there
be a white swelling, or a bright spot,
white, and somewhat reddish, and it
be showed to the Kohen (priest);
20 And if, when the kohen (priest)
sees it, behold, it be in sight lower
than the skin, and the hair thereof be
turned white; the Kohen (priest) shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a plague
of leprosy broken out of the boil.
21 But if the Kohen (priest) look on it,
226
and, behold, there be no white hairs
therein, and if it be not lower than the
skin, but be somewhat dark; then the
kohen (priest) shall shut him up seven
days:
22 And if it spread much abroad in
the skin, then the Kohen (priest) shall
pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
23 But if the bright spot stay in his
place, and spread not, it is a burning
boil; and the Kohen (priest) shall
pronounce him clean.
24 Or if there be any flesh, in the skin
whereof there is a hot burning, and the
quick flesh that burns have a white
bright spot, somewhat reddish, or
white;
25 Then the Kohen (priest) shall look
upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the
bright spot be turned white, and it be
in sight deeper than the skin; it is a
leprosy broken out of the burning:
wherefore the Kohen (priest) shall
pronounce him unclean: it is the
plague of leprosy.
26 But if the Kohen (priest) look on it,
and, behold, there be no white hair in
the bright spot, and it be no lower than
the other skin, but be somewhat dark;
then the Kohen (priest) shall shut him
up seven days:
27 And the Kohen (priest) shall look
upon him the seventh day: and if it be
spread much abroad in the skin, then
the kohen (priest) shall pronounce him
unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
28 And if the bright spot stay in his
place, and spread not in the skin, but it
be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the
burning, and the kohen (priest) shall
pronounce him clean: for it is an
inflammation of the burning.
29 If a man or woman have a plague
upon the head or the beard;
30 Then the Kohen (priest) shall see
the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
deeper than the skin; and there be in it
a yellow thin hair; then the kohen
(priest) shall pronounce him unclean: it
is a dry scall, a leprosy of the head or
beard.
31 And if the Kohen (priest) look on
the infection of the eruption, and,
behold, it be not in sight deeper than
the skin, and that there is no black hair
in it; then the Kohen (priest) shall shut
up him that has the infection of the
eruption seven days:
32 And in the seventh day the kohen
(priest) shall look at the sore and,
behold, if the eruption spreads not,
and there be in it no yellow hair, and
the eruption be not in sight deeper
than the skin;
33 He shall be shaved, but the
eruption shall he not shave; and the
Kohen (priest) shall shut him up that
has the eruption seven days more:
34 And in the seventh day the kohen
(priest) shall look on the eruption: and,
behold, if the eruption be not spread in
the skin, nor be in sight deeper than
the skin; then the Kohen (priest) shall
pronounce him clean: and he shall
wash his clothes, and be clean.
35 But if the eruption spread much in
the skin after his cleansing;
36 Then the Kohen (priest) shall look
at him: and, behold, if the eruption be
spread in the skin, the kohen (priest)
shall not seek for yellow hair; he is
unclean.
37 But if the eruption be in his sight
at a stay, and that there is black hair
grown up therein; the scall is healed,
he is clean: and the kohen (priest)
shall pronounce him clean.
38 If a man also or a woman have in
the skin of their flesh bright spots,
even white bright spots;
39 Then the Kohen (priest) shall
look: and, behold, if the bright spots in
227
the skin of their flesh be darkish white;
it is a freckled spot that grows in the
skin; he is clean.
40 And the man whose hair is fallen
off his head, he has become bald; yet
he is clean.
41 And he that has his hair fallen off
from the part of his head toward his
face, he is bald in the forehead yet he
is clean.
42 And if there be in the bald head,
or bald forehead, a white reddish sore;
it is a leprosy sprung up in his balding
head, or his balding forehead.
43 Then the kohen (priest) shall look
at it and, behold, if the rising of the
sore be white reddish in his bald head,
or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy
appears in the skin of the flesh;
44 He is a leprous man, he is
unclean: the kohen (priest) shall
pronounce him utterly unclean; his
plague is in his head.
45 And the leper in whom the plague
is, his clothes shall be torn, and his
head uncovered, and he shall put a
covering upon his upper lip, and shall
cry, Unclean, unclean.
46 All the days wherein the plague
shall be in him he shall be defiled; he
is unclean: he shall dwell alone;
outside the camp shall his habitation
be.
47 The garment also that the plague
of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen
garment, or a linen garment;
48 Whether it be in the warp, or weft
of linen, or of woolen; whether in
leather, or in any thing made of
leather;
49 And if the plague be greenish or
reddish in the garment, or in the
leather, either in the warp, or in the
weft, or in any thing of leather; it is a
plague of leprosy, and shall be shown
to the kohen (priest).
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
50 And the kohen (priest) shall look
at the plague, and shut him up that
has the plague seven days:
51 And he shall look at the plague on
the seventh day: if the plague be
spread in the garment, either in the
warp, or in the weft, or in leather, or in
any work that is made of leather; the
plague is a fretting leprosy; it is
unclean.
52 He shall therefore burn that
garment, not spread on the clothing,
fabric, covering, in woolen or in linen,
or any thing of leather, wherein the
plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it
shall be burnt in the fire.
53 And if the kohen (priest) shall
look, and, behold, the plague be not
spread in the garment, either in the
spread on the clothing, fabric,
covering, or in any thing of leather;
54 Then the kohen (priest) shall
command that they wash the thing
wherein the plague is, and he shall
shut it up another seven days more:
55 And the kohen (priest) shall look
on the plague, after that it is washed:
and, behold, if the plague have not
changed its colour, and the plague be
not spread; it is unclean; You shall
burn it in the fire; it continues eating
away, whether it be bare within or
outside.
56 And if the kohen (priest) look,
and, behold, the plague be somewhat
dark after washing of it; then he shall
rend it out of the garment, or out of the
leather, or out of the warp, or out of
the weft:
57 And if it appear still in the
garment, either in the warp, or in the
weft, or in any thing of leather; it is a
spreading plague: You shall burn that
wherein the plague is with fire.
58 And the garment, either warp, or
weft, or whatsoever thing of leather it
228
be, which You shall wash, if the
plague be departed from them, then it
shall be washed the second time, and
shall be clean.
59 This is the Torah of the plague of
leprosy in a garment of woolen or
linen, either in the warp, or weft, or
any thing of leather, to pronounce it
clean, or to pronounce it unclean.

1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 This shall be the Torah of the leper
in the day of his cleansing: He shall be
brought unto the kohen (priest):
3 And the kohen (priest) shall go
forth out of the camp; and the kohen
(priest) shall look, and, behold, if the
plague of leprosy be healed in the
leper;
4 Then shall the kohen (priest)
command to take for him that is to be
cleansed two birds1 alive and clean,
and cedar wood, and scarlet, and
hyssop:
5 And the kohen (priest) shall
command that one of the birds be
killed over an earthen vessel over
running mayim (water):
6 As for the living bird, he shall take
it, and the cedar wood, and the
scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip
them and the living bird in the blood of
the bird that was killed over the
1 According to the Mishnah they were to be the
same height value and size and to be free
clean birds.
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
running mayim (water):
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that
is to be cleansed from the leprosy
seven times, and shall pronounce him
clean, and shall let the living bird loose
into the open field.
8 And he that is to be cleansed shall
wash his clothes, and shave off all his
hair, and wash himself in mayim
(water), that he may be clean: and
after that he shall come into the camp,
and shall stay out of his tent seven
days.
9 But it shall be on the seventh day
that he shall shave all his hair off his
head and his beard and his eyebrows,
even all his hair he shall shave off:
and he shall wash his clothes, also he
shall wash his flesh in mayim (water),
and he shall be clean.
10 And on the eighth day he shall
take two he lambs without blemish,
and one ewe lamb one year old
without blemish, and three tenth deals
of fine flour for a grain offering,
mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11 And the kohen (priest) that makes
him clean shall present the man that is
to be made clean, and those things,
before hwhy at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation:
12 And the kohen (priest) shall take
one male lamb, and offer him for a
trespass offering, and the log of oil,
and wave them for a wave offering
before hwhy.
13 And he shall slaughter the lamb in
the place where he shall slaughter the
sin offering and the burnt offering, in
the set-apart place: for as the sin
offering is the kohen's (priest), so is
the trespass offering: it is most set-
apart:
14 And the kohen (priest) shall take
some of the blood of the trespass
offering, and the kohen (priest) shall
229
put it upon the tip of the right ear of
him that is to be cleansed, and upon
the thumb of his right hand1, and upon
the great toe of his right foot:
15 And the kohen (priest) shall take
some of the log of oil, and pour it into
the palm of his own left hand:
16 And the kohen (priest) shall dip
his right finger in the oil that is in his
left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil
with his finger seven times before
hwhy.
17 And of the rest of the oil that is in
his hand shall the kohen (priest) put
upon the tip of the right ear of him that
is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb
of his right hand, and upon the great
toe of his right foot, upon the blood of
the trespass offering:
18 And the remnant of the oil that is
in the kohen's (priest) hand he shall
pour upon the head of him that is to be
cleansed: and the kohen (priest) shall
make atonement for him before hwhy.
19 And the kohen (priest) shall offer
the sin offering, and make atonement
for him that is to be cleansed from his
uncleanness; and afterward he shall
kill the burnt offering:
20 And the kohen (priest) shall offer
the burnt offering and the grain
offering upon the altar: and the kohen
(priest) shall make atonement for him,
and he shall be clean.
21 And if he be poor, and cannot get
so much; then he shall take one lamb
for a trespass offering to be waved, to
make an atonement for him, and one
tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil
for a grain offering, and a log of oil;
22 And two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons, such as he is able to get; and
the one shall be a sin offering, and the
1 See footnote Shemoth (Exodus) 29:20.
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
other a burnt offering.
23 And he shall bring them on the
eighth day for his cleansing unto the
kohen (priest), unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, before
hwhy.
24 And the kohen (priest) shall take
the lamb of the trespass offering, and
the log of oil, and the kohen (priest)
shall wave them for a wave offering
before hwhy.
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the
trespass offering, and the kohen
(priest) shall take some of the blood of
the trespass offering, and put it upon
the tip of the right ear of him that is to
be cleansed, and upon the thumb of
his right hand, and upon the great toe
of his right foot:
26 And the kohen (priest) shall pour
of the oil into the palm of his own left
hand:
27 And the kohen (priest) shall
sprinkle with his right finger some of
the oil that is in his left hand seven
times before hwhy.
28 And the kohen (priest) shall put of
the oil that is in his hand upon the tip
of the right ear of him that is to be
cleansed, and upon the thumb of his
right hand, and upon the great toe of
his right foot, upon the place of the
blood of the trespass offering:
29 And the rest of the oil that is in the
kohen's (priest) hand he shall put upon
the head of him that is to be cleansed,
to make atonement for him before
hwhy.
30 And he shall offer the one of the
turtledoves, or of the young pigeons,
such as he can get;
31 Even such as he is able to get,
the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering with the grain
offering: and the kohen (priest) shall
make atonement for him that is to be
230
cleansed before hwhy.
32 This is the Torah of him in whom
is the plague of leprosy, whose hand
is not able to get that which pertains to
his cleansing.
33 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and unto Aharon, saying,
34 When you be come into the land
of Canaan, which I give to you for a
possession, and I put the plague of
leprosy in a Beyth (house) of the land
of your possession;
35 And he that owns the Beyth
(house) shall come and tell the kohen
(priest), saying It seems to me there is
as it were a plague in the Beyth
(house):
36 Then the kohen (priest) shall
command that they empty the Beyth
(house), before the kohen (priest) go
into it to see the plague, that all that is
in the Beyth (house) be not made
unclean: and afterward the kohen
(priest) shall go in to see the Beyth
(house):
37 And he shall look on the plague,
and, behold, if the plague be in the
walls of the Beyth (house) with hollow
strakes, greenish or reddish, which in
sight are lower than the wall;
38 Then the kohen (priest) shall go
out of the Beyth (house) to the door of
the Beyth (house), and shut up the
Beyth (house) seven days:
39 And the kohen (priest) shall come
again the seventh day, and shall look:
and, behold, if the plague be spread in
the walls of the Beyth (house);
40 Then the kohen (priest) shall
command that they take away the
stones in which the plague is, and they
shall cast them into an unclean place
outside the city:
41 And he shall cause the Beyth
(house) to be scraped within round
about, and they shall pour out the dust
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
that they scrape off outside the city
into an unclean place:
42 And they shall take other stones,
and put them in the place of those
stones; and he shall take other mortar,
and shall plaster the Beyth (house).
43 And if the plague come again, and
break out in the Beyth (house), after
that he has taken away the stones,
and after he has scraped the Beyth
(house), and after it is plastered;
44 Then the kohen (priest) shall
come and look, and, behold, if the
plague be spread in the Beyth
(house), it is an active leprosy in the
Beyth (house): it is unclean.
45 And he shall break down the
Beyth (house), the stones of it, and the
timber thereof, and all the mortar of
the Beyth (house); and he shall carry
them forth out of the city into an
unclean place.
46 Moreover he that goes into the
Beyth (house) all the while that it is
shut up shall be unclean until the
evening.
47 And he that sleeps in the Beyth
(house) shall wash his clothes; and he
that eats in the Beyth (house) shall
wash his clothes.
48 And if the kohen (priest) shall
come in and look upon it, and, behold,
the plague has not spread in the Beyth
(house), after the Beyth (house) was
plastered: then the kohen (priest) shall
pronounce the Beyth (house) clean,
because the plague is healed.
49 And he shall take to cleanse the
Beyth (house) two birds, and cedar
wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
50 And he shall kill the one of the
birds over an earthen vessel over
running mayim (water):
51 And he shall take the cedar wood,
and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and
the living bird, and dip them in the
231
blood of the slaughtered birds, and in
the running mayim (water), and
sprinkle the Beyth (house) seven
times:
52 And he shall cleanse the Beyth
(house) with the blood of the bird, and
with the running mayim (water), and
with the living bird, and with the cedar
wood, and with the hyssop, and with
the scarlet:
53 But he shall let go the living bird
out of the city into the open fields, and
make atonement for the Beyth
(house): and it shall be clean.
54 This is the Torah for all manner of
infections of leprosy and eruptions,
55 And for the leprosy of a garment,
and of a Beyth (house),
56 And for a rising, and for a scab,
and for a bright spot:
57 To teach when it is unclean, and
when it is clean: this is the Torah of
leprosy.
Chapter 15
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and to Aharon, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
when any man has a discharge out of
his flesh because of his discharge he
is unclean.
3 And this shall be his uncleanness
in his discharge: whether his flesh run
with his discharge or his flesh be
stopped from his discharge, it is his
uncleanness.
4 Every bed, whereon he lies that
has the discharge, is unclean: and
every thing, whereon he sits, shall be
unclean.
5 And whosoever touches his bed
shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in mayim (water), and be
unclean until the evening.
6 And he that sits on anything
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
whereon he sat that has the discharge
shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in mayim (water), and be
unclean until the evening.
7 And he that touches the flesh of
him that has the discharge shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in
mayim (water), and be unclean until
the evening.
8 And if he that has the issue spit
upon him that is clean; then he shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
mayim (water), and be unclean until
the evening.
9 And what saddle so ever he rides
upon that has the discharge shall be
unclean.
10 And whosoever touches any thing
that was under him shall be unclean
until the evening: and he that carries
any of those things shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in mayim
(water), and be unclean until the
evening.
11 And whomsoever he touches that
has the issue, and has not rinsed his
hands in mayim (water), he shall wash
his clothes, and bathe himself in
mayim (water), and be unclean until
the evening.
12 And the vessel of earth, that he
touches which has the discharge, shall
be broken: and every vessel of wood
shall be rinsed in mayim (water).
13 And when he that has the
discharge is cleansed from the
discharge; then he shall number to
himself seven days for his cleansing,
and wash his clothes, and bathe his
flesh in running mayim (water), and
shall be clean.
14 And on the eighth day he shall
take to him two turtledoves, or two
young pigeons, and come before
hwhy unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, and give them
232
unto the kohen (priest):
15 And the kohen (priest) shall offer
them, the one for a sin offering, and
the other for a burnt offering; and the
kohen (priest) shall make atonement
for him before hwhy for his issue.
16 And if any man's has an emission
of semen then he shall wash all his
flesh in mayim (water), and be unclean
until the evening.
17 And every garment, and every
skin, whereon is emission of semen
shall be washed with mayim (water),
and be unclean until the evening.
18 The woman also with whom this
man shall lie with the emission of
semen, they shall both bathe
themselves in mayim (water), and be
unclean until the evening.
19 And if a woman has a discharge,
and her discharge in her flesh be
blood, she shall be put apart seven
days: and whosoever touches her
shall be unclean until the evening.
20 And every thing that she lies upon
in her separation shall be unclean:
everything also that she sits upon shall
be unclean.
21 And whosoever touches her bed
shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in mayim (water), and be
unclean until the evening.
22 And whosoever touches any thing
that she sat upon shall wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in mayim
(water), and be unclean until the even.
23 And if it be on her bed, or on any
thing whereon she sits, when he
touches it, he shall be unclean until
the even.
24 And if any man lie with her at all,
and her monthly flow be upon him, he
shall be unclean seven days; and all
the bed whereon he lies shall be
unclean.
25 And if a woman have a discharge
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
of her blood many days out of the time
of her monthly separation, or if it run
beyond the time of her monthly
separation; all the days of the
discharge of her uncleanness shall be
as the days of her monthly separation:
she shall be unclean.
26 Every bed whereon she lies all
the days of her discharge shall be unto
her as the bed of her menstruation:
and whatsoever she sits upon shall be
unclean, as the uncleanness of her
menstruation.
27 And whosoever touches those
things shall be unclean, and shall
wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
mayim (water), and be unclean until
the evening.
28 But if she be cleansed of her
discharge, then she shall number to
herself seven days, and after that she
shall be clean.
29 And on the eighth day she shall
take unto her two turtles, or two young
pigeons, and bring them unto the
kohen (priest), to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
30 And the kohen (priest) shall offer
the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering; and the
kohen (priest) shall make atonement
for her before hwhy for the discharge
of her uncleanness.
31 Thus shall you separate the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) from their
uncleanness; that they die not in their
uncleanness, when they defile my
tabernacle that is among them.
32 This is the instruction for him that
has discharge, and of him whose has
emission of semen and is defiled with
it;
33 And of her that is sick of her
monthly separation, and of him that
has a discharge of semen, of the man,
and of the woman, and of him that lies
233
with her that is unclean.

Chapter 16
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) after the death of the two
sons of Aharon, when they drew near
before hwhy, and died;
2 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), Speak unto Aharon your
brother, that he come not at all times
into the set-apart place within the veil
before the lid of atonement that was
upon the ark; that he die not: for I will
appear in the cloud upon the lid of
atonement that was upon the ark.
3 Thus shall Aharon come into the
set-apart place: with a young bullock
for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt
offering.
4 He shall put on the set-apart linen
coat, and he shall have the linen
breeches upon his flesh, and shall be
girded with a linen girdle, and with the
linen turban shall he be attired: these
are set-apart garments; therefore shall
he wash his flesh in mayim (water),
and so put them on.
5 And he shall take of the
congregation of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) two kids of the goats
for a sin offering, and one ram for a
burnt offering.
6 And Aharon shall offer his bullock
of the sin offering, which is for him,
and make atonement for himself, and
for his Beyth (house).
7 And he shall take the two goats,
and present them before hwhy at the
door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
8 And Aharon shall cast lots upon the
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
two goats; one lot for hwhy, and the
other lot for azazel.1
1 There are many differing views on this, the
Hebrew word Azazel, Az meaning ‘goat’ and
‘Azal’ to go away implied meaning the ‘goat
that goes away.’ Like a dump truck collecting
garbage and towing it away and discarding it.
Sin is collected and towed away from the
camp. The Arabic term is Azala meaning to
banish, Azalu for rough ground. The term
could simply be a title for a demon or Satan
himself. The term l'saraim is used in Vayikra
(Leviticus) 17:7 for goat demons in the Desert
(Azazel could be the ruler of the fallen angels,
‘Enoch 8:1 And Azazel taught men to make
swords, and knives, and shields, and
breastplates).’
Remember this was done on Yom Kippurim,
the high priest had to enter into the Most Set-
apart Place of the tabernacle only allowed one
time per year, on the Day of Atonement ‘10
Tishri on the Hebrew calendar.’ This entry into
the Most Set-apart Place was allowed so
atonement could be made for the people for
Israel, to cleanse their sins before YHWH,
Numbers 16:30. The tractate Yoma marks the
highlights and description of this ceremony.
A box was brought to the high priest that
contained two lots, one marked for YHWH and
the other for Azazel. The high priest put his
hands in the box and brought out a lot in each
hand; he held up the hand which contained the
lot for YHWH. The high priest then tied a
crimson thread on the horn of the goat which
was to be sent away (Azazel), and another
crimson thread around the throat of the goat
which would be slaughtered for the sin
offering.
First the High Priest must cleanse his own and
his families sins with the blood of the bull
(Num 16:6, 11-14), after this rite, the goat
which had been designated for YHWH was
brought to him. The high priest then
slaughtered this goat, and its blood was used
to purify the Most Set-apart Place from the
uncleanness of the Israelites. We are shown
the shadow of this in Messiah Yahushua in
234
9 And Aharon shall bring the goat
upon which hwhy's lot fell, and offer
him for a sin offering.
10 But the goat, on which the lot fell
to be for azazel, shall be presented
alive before hwhy, to make an
atonement with him, and to let him go
for azazel into the desert.
11 And Aharon shall bring the bullock
of the sin offering, which is for him,
and shall make atonement for himself,
and for his Beyth (house), and shall kill
the bullock of the sin offering which is
for himself:
12 And he shall take a censer full of
burning coals of fire from off the altar
before hwhy, and his hands full of
sweet incense beaten small, and bring
it within the veil:
13 And he shall put the incense upon
the fire before hwhy that the cloud of
the incense may cover the lid of
atonement that was upon the ark of
testimony that he die not:
14 And he shall take of the blood of
the bullock, and sprinkle it with his
finger upon the lid of atonement that
Hebrews 9:11. In tractate (Yoma 6:2, The
Mishnah, A New Translation) we are told.
‘O Adonai, your people, the house of Israel,
has committed iniquity, transgressed, and
sinned before you. Forgive O Adonai, I pray,
the iniquities, transgressions, and sins, which
your people, the house of Israel, have
committed, transgressed, and sinned before
you, as it is written in the Torah of Moses, your
servant, For on this day shall atonement be
made for you to clean you. From all your sins
shall you be clean before Adonai.’
In short, we can conclude that YHWH showed
the redemption of the people of Israel through
His Son Yahushua and showed the banishment
of Azazel to the lake of fire which was yet to
take place but figuratively shown each year
during Tabernacle and Temple times.

was upon the ark eastward;1 and the
lid of atonement that was upon the ark
shall he sprinkle of the blood with his
finger seven times.
15 Then shall he slaughter the goat
of the sin offering, that is for the
people, and bring his blood within the
veil, and do with that blood as he did
with the blood of the bullock, and
sprinkle it upon the lid of atonement
that was upon the ark.
16 And he shall make atonement for
the set-apart place, because of the
uncleanness of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and because of
their transgressions in all their sins:
and so shall he do for the tabernacle
of the congregation that remains
among them in the midst of their
uncleanness.
17 And there shall be no man in the
tabernacle of the congregation when
he goes in to make an atonement in
the set-apart place, until he come out,
and have made an atonement for
himself, and for his household, and for
all the congregation of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
18 And he shall go out unto the altar
that is before hwhy, and make
atonement for it; and shall take of the
blood of the bullock, and of the blood
of the goat, and put it upon the horns
of the altar round about.
19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood
upon it with his finger seven times,
and cleanse it, and set it apart from
the uncleanness of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
20 And when he has made an end of
reconciling the set-apart place, and

and the altar, he shall bring the live
goat:
21 And Aharon shall lay both his
hands upon the head of the live goat,
and confess over him all the iniquities
of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and all their transgressions in all their
sins, putting them upon the head of
the goat, and shall send him away by
the hand of a fit man into the desert:
22 And the goat shall bear upon him
all their iniquities unto a land not
inhabited: and he shall let go the goat
in the desert.
23 And Aharon shall come into the
tabernacle of the congregation, and
shall put off the linen garments, which
he put on when he went into the set-
apart place, and shall leave them
there:
24 And he shall wash his flesh with
mayim (water) in the set-apart place,
and put on his garments, and come
forth, and offer his burnt offering, and
the burnt offering of the people, and
make atonement for himself, and for
the people.
25 And the fat of the sin offering shall
he burn upon the altar.
26 And he that let go the goat for
Azazel shall wash his clothes, and
bathe his flesh in mayim (water), and
afterward come into the camp.
27 And the bullock for the sin
offering, and the goat for the sin
offering, whose blood was brought in
to make atonement in the set-apart
place, shall one carry forth outside the
camp; and they shall burn in the fire
their skins, and their flesh, and their
dung.
28 And he that burns them shall
wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh
in mayim (water), and afterward he
shall come into the camp.

29 And this shall be a statute forever
unto you: that in the seventh month,
on the tenth day of the month, you
shall afflict your souls, and do no work
at all, whether it be one of your own
country, or a foreigner that lives
among you:
30 For on that day shall the kohen

cleanse you, that you may be clean
from all your sins before hwhy.
31 It shall be a Sabbath of rest unto

apart garments:

This is the thing which hwhy has
commanded, saying,
3 Whatever man there be of the
Beyth (house) of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
that slaughters an ox, or lamb, or goat,
in the camp, or that slaughters it out of
the camp,
4 And bring it not to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, to offer
an offering unto hwhy before the
tabernacle of hwhy; blood shall be
imputed unto that man; he has shed
blood; and that man shall be cut off
from among his people:
5 To the end that the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) may bring their
sacrifices, which they offer in the open
field, even that they may bring them
unto hwhy, unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, unto
the kohen (priest), and offer them for
shalom (peace) offerings unto hwhy.
6 And the kohen (priest) shall
sprinkle the blood upon the altar of
hwhy at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, and burn the fat for
a sweet savour unto hwhy.
7 And they shall no more offer their
sacrifices unto goat demons, after
whom they have gone whoring. This
shall be a statute forever unto them
throughout their generations.
8 And You shall say unto them,
Whatever man there be of the Beyth
(house) of Yah’sar’el (Israel), or of the
strangers which sojourn among you,
that offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
9 And brings it not unto the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation, to
offer it unto hwhy; even that man shall
be cut off from among his people.

will even set my face against that man
that eats blood, and will cut him off
from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the
blood: and I have given it to you upon
the altar to make atonement for your
souls: for it is the blood that makes
atonement for the soul.1
12 Therefore I said unto the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), No soul of you
shall eat blood, neither shall any
foreigner that lives among you eat
blood.
13 And whatever man there be of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), or of the
foreigners that lives among you, who
hunts and catches any animal or bird
that may be eaten; he shall even pour
out the blood thereof, and cover it with
dust.2
14 For it is the life of all flesh; the
blood of it is for the life thereof:
therefore I said unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), You shall eat the
blood of no manner of flesh: for the life
of all flesh is the blood thereof:
whosoever eats it shall be cut off.3

Samuel 15:22 and Heb 10:5.
2 The blood must be poured on the floor.
Eating electrocuted chickens or cows is not
clean as the blood remains clogged in the
animal rendering the animal unfit to eat.
3 By eating electrocuted clean animals you are
unknowingly committing a sin by consuming
blood. In some cultures they wring the neck
and that would be the same as the blood
would not pour out to the ground.
237
15 And every soul that eats that
which died of itself, or that which was
torn by other animals, whether it be
one of your own country, or a
foreigner, he shall both wash his
clothes, and bathe himself in mayim
(water), and be unclean until the
evening: then shall he be clean.
16 But if he wash them not, nor
bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his
iniquity.

5 There are two redemptions. Unfortunately for
Christians this is a little hard to understand.
Here ‘life’ is not disconnected from eternal life;
both are one and the same in YHWH through
His grace. If you obey YHWH, not only does He
save us, but he grants us physical and eternal
life. Look at the example of Israel; first, they
were saved from the slavery in Egypt which is
one type of salvation, and then they were
given eternal life by faith.

or of the strangers that sojourn in

children as sacrifice unto Molech; he
shall surely be put to death: the people
of the land shall stone him with stones.
3 And I will set my face against that
man, and will cut him off from among
his people; because he has given of
his children unto Molech, to defile my
sanctuary, and to profane my set-apart
name.
4 And if the people of the land do any
ways hide their eyes from the man,
when he gives of his children unto
Molech, and kill him not:
5 Then I will set my face against that
man, and against his mishpacha

that go a whoring after him, to commit
whoredom with Molech, from among

6 And the soul that turns after such
as mediums, and after soothsayers, to
go a whoring after them, I will even set

but right now since we do not have a beit din

offence had to have been committed before
the court could impose a death sentence.
Since the testimony of two eye-witnesses was
required, and the witnesses were subjected to
searching and detailed interrogation by the
court, there was rarely an instance when the
evidence met the prescribed legal standard.
See Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, Book of
Judges, Sanhedrin, chapter XII4.
The Mishna in Sanhedrin (52a) also described
the procedure for ‘burning’ and stated clearly
that it did not involve actual resorting to fire or
flames. Rather, an extremely hot object (or
wick) was inserted into the mouth of the
condemned individual so as to cause
instantaneous death. Here, too, the objective
was to cause death quickly and without
mutilation of the body.
Rabbi Elazar the son of Rabbi Tzadok said ‘An
incident once occurred with the daughter of a
priest who committed adultery and they
surrounded her with bundles of branches and
burned her.’ The other Rabbis responded to
him, ‘That was done because the court that
performed this execution was not
knowledgeable.’ The Talmud, in fact, explains
that the incident reported in the Mishna was
the work of a court of Sadducees (i.e., those
who mistakenly applied the Biblical text without
taking account of the oral tradition and rabbinic
interpretation).

uncovered his sister's nakedness; he
shall bear his iniquity.
18 And if a man shall lie with a
woman having her menstrual periods,
and shall uncover her nakedness; he
has discovered her monthly flow, and
she has uncovered the fountain of her
blood: and both of them shall be cut
off from among their people.1
19 And You shall not uncover the
nakedness of your mother's sister, nor
of your father's sister: for he uncovers
his near kin: they shall bear their
iniquity.
20 And if a man shall lie with his
uncle's wife, he has uncovered his
uncle's nakedness: they shall bear
their sin; they shall die childless.
21 And if a man shall take his
brother's wife, it is an unclean thing:
he has uncovered his brother's
nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 You shall therefore keep all my
statutes, and all my judgments, and do
them: that the land, where I bring you
to dwell therein, vomit you not out.
23 And you shall not walk in the
manners of the nation, which I cast out
before you: for they committed all
these things, and therefore I abhorred
them.

shall inherit their land, and I will give it
unto you to possess it, a land that

between clean animals and unclean,
and between unclean birds and clean:
and you shall not make your souls
abominable by animals, or by birds, or
by any manner of creatures that
crawls on the ground, which I have
separated from you as unclean.

me: for I hwhy am set-apart, and have
severed you from other people, that
you should be mine.

1 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), Speak unto the kohenim
(priests) the sons of Aharon, and say
unto them, There shall none be defiled
for the dead among his people:
2 But for his kin, that is near unto
him, that is, for his mother, and for his
father, and for his son, and for his
daughter, and for his brother,
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is
near unto him, which has had no
husband; for her may he be defiled.
4 But he shall not defile himself,
being a chief man among his people,
to profane himself.
5 They shall not make baldness upon
their head, neither shall they shave off
the payots (sides) of their beard, nor
1 One claiming to talk to the dead
244
make any incisions in their flesh.
6 They shall be set-apart unto their
Elohim, and not profane the name of
their Elohim: for the offerings of hwhy
made by fire, and the lechem (bread)
of their Elohim, they do offer: therefore
they shall be set-apart.
7 They shall not take a wife that is a
whore, or profane; neither shall they
take a woman divorced from her
husband: for he is set-apart unto his
Elohim.
8 You shall sanctify him therefore; for
he offers the lechem (bread) of your
Elohim: he shall be set-apart unto you:
for I hwhy, which sanctify you, am set-
apart.
9 And the daughter of any kohen
(priest), if she profane herself by
playing the whore, she has profaned
her father: she shall be burnt with fire.2
10 And he that is the Kohen ha
Gadol (High Priest) among his
brethren, upon whose head the
anointing oil was poured, and that is
consecrated to put on the garments,
shall not uncover his head, nor rend
his clothes;
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead
body, nor defile himself for his father,
or for his mother;
12 Neither shall he go out of the
sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary
of his Elohim; for the crown of the
anointing oil of his Elohim is upon him:
I am hwhy.

profane, or a harlot, these shall he not
take: but he shall take a virgin of his
own people to wife.
15 Neither shall he profane his seed
among his people: for I hwhy do
sanctify him.
16 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
17 Speak unto Aharon, saying,
Whosoever he be of your descendants
in their generations that has any
blemish, let him not approach to offer
the lechem (bread) of his Elohim.
18 For whatsoever man he be that
has a blemish, he shall not approach:
a blind man, or a lame, or he that has
a split nose, or any thing superfluous,
19 Or a man that has a broken foot,
or broken hand,
20 Or hunchback, or a dwarf, or that
has a spot in his eye, or has an
eruption, a feverish rash or crushed
testicle;
21 No man that has a blemish of the
seed of Aharon the kohen (priest) shall
come near to offer the offerings of
hwhy made by fire: he has a blemish;
he shall not come near to offer the
lechem (bread) of his Elohim.
22 He shall eat the lechem (bread) of
his Elohim, both of the most set-apart,
and of the set-apart.
23 Only he shall not go in unto the
veil, nor come near unto the altar,
because he has a physical issue; that
he profane not my sanctuaries: for I
hwhy do sanctify them.
24 And Musa (Moses) told it unto
Aharon, and to his sons, and unto all
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
Chapter 22
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Speak unto Aharon and to his
sons, that they separate themselves
245
from the set-apart things of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and that
they profane not my set-apart name in
those things which they hallow unto
me: I am hwhy.
3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be
of all your descendants among your
generations, that goes unto the set-
apart things, which the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) set-apart unto
hwhy, having his uncleanness upon
him, that soul shall be cut off from my
presence: I am hwhy.
4 Whatever man of the seed of
Aharon is a leper, or has a running
issue; he shall not eat of the set-apart
things, until he be clean. And the one
touches any thing that is unclean by
the dead, or a man whose seed goes
from him;
5 Or anyone touches any crawling
creature, whereby he may be made
unclean, or a man of whom he may
take uncleanness, whatsoever
uncleanness he has;
6 The soul which has touched any
such shall be unclean until evening,
and shall not eat of the set-apart
things, unless he wash his flesh with
mayim (water).
7 And when the sun is down, he shall
be clean, and shall afterward eat of
the set-apart things; because it is his
food.
8 That which dies of itself, or is torn
by animals, he shall not eat to defile
himself therewith: I am hwhy.
9 They shall therefore keep mine
ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and
die therefore, if they profane it: I hwhy
do sanctify them.
10 There shall no foreigner eat of the
set-apart thing: a sojourner of the
kohen (priest), or a hired servant, shall
not eat of the set-apart thing.
11 But if the kohen (priest) buy any
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
soul with his money, he shall eat of it,
and he that is born in his Beyth
(house): they shall eat of his meat.
12 If the kohen's (priest) daughter
also be married unto a foreigner, she
may not eat of an offering of the set-
apart things.
13 But if the kohen’s (priest)
daughter be a widow, or divorced, and
have no child, and is returned unto her
father's Beyth (house), as in her youth,
she shall eat of her father's meat: but
there shall no foreigner eat thereof.
14 And if a man eat of the set-apart
thing mistake, then he shall put twenty
percent thereof unto it, and shall give it
unto the kohen (priest) with the set-
apart thing.
15 And they shall not profane the
set-apart things of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), which they offer
unto hwhy;
16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity
of trespass, when they eat their set-
apart things: for I hwhy do sanctify
them.
17 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
18 Speak unto Aharon, and to his
sons, and unto all the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
Whatsoever he be of the Beyth
(house) of Yah’sar’el (Israel), or of the
strangers in Yah’sar’el (Israel), that will
offer his oblation for all his vows, and
for all his freewill offerings, which they
will offer unto hwhy for a burnt
offering;
19 You shall offer at your own will a
male without blemish, of the sheep, or
of the goats.
20 You not offer anything that has a
blemish, for it shall not be acceptable
for you.
21 And whosoever offers a sacrifice
of shalom (peace) offerings unto hwhy
246
to accomplish his vow, or a freewill
offering of sheep, it shall be perfect to
be accepted; there shall be no blemish
therein.
22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or
having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed,
you shall not offer these unto hwhy,
nor make an offering by fire of them
upon the altar unto hwhy.
23 Either a bullock or a lamb that has
any thing superfluous or lacking in his
parts, that may You offer for a freewill
offering; but for a vow it shall not be
accepted.
24 You shall not offer unto hwhy that
which is bruised, or crushed, or
broken, or cut; neither shall you make
any offering thereof in your land.
25 Neither from a foreigner's hand
shall you offer the lechem (bread) of
your Elohim of any of these; because
their corruption is in them, and
blemishes be in them: they shall not
be accepted for you.
26 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
27 When a bullock, or a sheep, or a
goat, is brought forth, then it shall be
seven days under the care of his
mother; and from the eighth day and
thenceforth it shall be accepted for an
offering made by fire unto hwhy.
28 And whether it be cow or ewe,
you shall not kill it and her young both
in one day.
29 And when you will offer a sacrifice
of thanksgiving unto hwhy, offer it at
your own will.
30 On the same day it shall be eaten
up; you shall leave none of it until the
morrow: I am hwhy.
31 Therefore shall you keep my
commandments, and do them: I am
hwhy.
32 Neither shall you profane my set-
apart name; but I will be set-apart

Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
Concerning the Moe’dim (feasts:
Appointed times) of hwhy, which you
shall proclaim to be Set-Apart
Assemblies, even these are My
Feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but
the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest,
a set-apart assembly;1 you shall do no
work therein: it is the Sabbath of hwhy
in all your dwellings.
4 These are the Moe’dim (feasts:

apart convocations, which you shall
proclaim in their seasons.

These are YHWH’s feasts not Jewish feasts
as wrongly taught by churches. The church
wants to discard the feasts but take on the
salvation, well that is also of the Yahudim.

ascend to Jerusalem on three feasts, also
mentioned in (Deuteronomy 16-16).
These three feasts are;

same month is the chag ha Matzot
(The Feast of unleavened bread) unto
hwhy seven days you must eat
matzah.
7 In the first day you shall have a set-
apart assembly: you shall do no
servile work therein.
8 But you shall offer an offering
made by fire unto hwhy seven days: in
the seventh day is a set-apart
assembly: you shall do no servile work
therein.
9 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
10 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
When you be come into the land which
I give unto you, and shall reap the
harvest thereof, then you shall bring a
a. Unleavened Bread
b. Pentecost (Feast of Weeks) Shavuot
c. Tabernacles (Sukkot)
In Zechariah 14:16-19, we are told that the
radical Islamic nations that survive will be
humiliated and will have to go up and serve
YHWH by paying reverence to YHWH in
Jerusalem.
Now if the heathens will be under compulsion
to honour the feasts in the 1000 years
millennial kingdom to come, then how much
more will the believers, out of love and
obedience? Sukkot is also a high set-apart day,
a Sabbath of YHWH, and his feasts are for all
mankind, for all times to attend and present
themselves to YHWH.
the commandments are not in affect, as
foolishly claimed by dispensationalists, who
essentially deny YHWH’s eternal
commandments. All of mankind will keep the
Sabbaths and the appointed times. The only
question remaining is will you do so, out of
love and obedience, or will you be ‘smacked’
into submission, within His kingdom with the
rod of iron?

harvest unto the kohen (priest):
11 And he shall wave the sheaf
before hwhy, to be accepted for you:
on the day after the Sabbath the
kohen (priest) shall wave it.
12 And you shall offer that day when
you wave the sheaf a he lamb without
blemish of the first year for a burnt
offering unto hwhy.
13 And the grain offering thereof
shall be two tenth deals of fine flour
mingled with oil, an offering made by
fire unto hwhy for a sweet savour: and
the drink offering thereof shall be of
wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 And you shall eat neither lechem
(bread), nor parched corn, nor green
ears, until the selfsame day that you
have brought an offering unto your
Elohim: it shall be a statute forever
throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
15 And you shall count unto you from
the next day after the Sabbath, from
the day that you brought the omer of
the wave offering; seven Sabbaths
shall be complete:
16 Even unto the morrow after the
seventh Sabbath shall you number
fifty days; and you shall offer a new
grain offering unto hwhy.
17 You shall bring out of your
habitations two wave loaves of two
tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour;
they shall be baked with leaven; they
are the first-fruits unto hwhy.
18 And you shall offer with the
lechem (bread) seven lambs without
blemish of the first year, and one
young bullock, and two rams: they
shall be for a burnt offering unto hwhy,
with their grain offering, and their drink
offerings, even an offering made by
fire, of sweet savour unto hwhy.
19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of
248
the goats for a sin offering, and two
lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of
shalom (peace) offerings.
20 And the kohen (priest) shall wave
them with the lechem (bread) of the
first-fruits for a wave offering before
hwhy, with the two lambs: they shall
be set-apart to hwhy for the kohen
(priest).
21 And you shall proclaim on the
selfsame day, that it may be a set-
apart convocation unto you: you shall
do no servile work therein: it shall be a
statute forever in all your dwellings
throughout your generations.
22 And when you reap the harvest of
your land, You shall not completely
clean out the corners of your field
when You reap, neither shall You
gather any gleaning of your harvest:
You shall leave them unto the poor,
and to the foreigner: I am hwhy your
Elohim.

therein: but you shall offer an offering
made by fire unto hwhy.

kapporah3 for you before hwhy your

29 For whatsoever soul it be that
shall not be afflicted in that same day,
he shall be cut off4 from among his

his people.6
31 You shall do no manner of work: it

branches of palm trees, and the
boughs of thick trees, and willows of

hwhy your Elohim seven days.
41 And you shall keep it a feast unto

42 You shall dwell in booths seven
days; all that are Israelites born shall
dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know
that I made the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) to dwell in booths, when I
brought them out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt): I am hwhy your
Elohim.
44 And Musa (Moses) declared unto
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) the
feast of hwhy.
Chapter 24
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Command the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they bring unto
you pure oil olive beaten for the light,
to cause the lamps of the menorah to
burn continually.
3 Outside the veil of the testimony, in
the tabernacle of the congregation,
shall Aharon order it from the evening
unto the morning before hwhy
continually: it shall be a statute forever
in your generations.
4 He shall order the lamps of
menorah upon the pure candlestick
250
before hwhy continually.
5 And You shall take fine flour, and
bake twelve cakes1 thereof: two tenth
deals shall be in one cake.
6 And You shall set them in two
rows, six on a row, upon the pure table
before hwhy.
7 And You shall put pure
frankincense upon each row, that it
may be on the lechem (bread) for a
memorial, even an offering made by
fire unto hwhy.
8 Every Sabbath he shall set it in
order before hwhy continually, being
taken from the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) by an everlasting covenant.
9 And it shall be Aharon's and his
sons'; and they shall eat it in the set-
apart place: for it is most set-apart
unto him of the offerings of hwhy
made by fire by an eternal statute.
10 And the son of a Israelitish
woman, whose father was an Mitzri
(Egyptian),2 went out among the
1 Twelve tribes of Israel.
2 All religious denominations of Judaism agree
that a person may be a Jew either by birth or
through conversion to Judaism (Kodashim 66b,
Shulchan Aruch, EH 4:19). The halakhic
definition based on Leviticus 24:10 where the
son of an Egyptian man born to a Jewish
mother is that a Jew is a person born to a
Jewish mother, or one that has converted to
Judaism. Halakha has come to this ruling from
the texts in Lev 24:10, Deut 7:1-5 and Ezr
10:2-3. The Karaites argue that dissent is by
patrilineal descent and not through the mother.
Reconstructionist Judaism, and liberal Judaism
also work on patrilineal descent. Therefore
after King Solomon and the two part divison of
Israel anyone living in the lands south of Israel
whether Judah, Benjamin or Levi or other ten
tribes living there would be classed as a
Yahudi. This is in accordance with the bible in
Esther 2:5 where Mordechai from the tribe of
Benjami is both called a Yahudi and from the
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): and this
son of the Israelitish woman and a
man of Yah’sar’el (Israel) had a fight in
the camp;
11 And the Yah’sar’eli woman's son
blasphemed the name of hwhy, and
cursed. And they brought him unto
Musa (Moses): (and his mother's
name was Shelomith, the daughter of
Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
12 And they put him in ward,1 that
the mind of hwhy might be showed
them.
13 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
14 Bring forth him that has cursed
outside the camp; and let all that
heard him lay their hands upon his
head, and let all the congregation
stone him.
15 And You shall speak unto the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying,
Whosoever curses his Elohim shall
bear his sin.
16 And he that blasphemes the
name of hwhy, he shall surely be put
to death, and all the congregation shall
certainly stone him: as well the
foreigner, as he that is born in the
land, when he blasphemes the name
of hwhy, shall be put to death.
17 And he that killed any man shall
surely be put to death.
18 And he that kills an animal shall
make it good; animal for animal.
19 And if a man cause a blemish in
his neighbour; as he has done, so
tribe of Benjamin. Rabbi Paulos did the same
calling himself a Yahudi though he was also
from the tribe of Benjamin (Acts 21:39, 22:3).
1 In the old days prisoners were only held for a
few days before being judged. Tax payer
money was not wasted to feed them for twenty
or thirty year terms.
251
shall it be done to him;
20 Breach for breach, eye for eye,
tooth for tooth: as he has caused a
blemish in a man, so shall it be done
to him again.2
21 And he that killed a beast, he
shall restore it: and he that killed a
man, he shall be put to death.
22 You shall have one manner of
Torah,3 as well for the foreigner, as for
one of your own country: for I am
hwhy your Elohim.
23 And Musa (Moses) spoke to the

Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
When you come into the land which I
give you, then shall the land keep a
Sabbath unto hwhy.

and six years You shall prune your
vineyard, and gather in the fruit
thereof;

out or removing someone’s eyes but fair and
substantial punishment was given to match the
severity of the crime.

double standards like the world.

4 But in the seventh year shall be a
Sabbath of rest unto the land, a
Sabbath for hwhy.1 You shall neither
sow your field, nor prune your
vineyard.
5 That which grows of its own accord
of your harvest You shall not reap,
neither gather the grapes of your vine
undressed: for it is a year of rest unto
the land.
6 And the Sabbath of the land shall
be food for you; and for your servant,
and for your maid, and for your hired
servant, and for your foreigner that
sojourned with you,
7 And for your cattle, and for the
beast that are in your land, shall all the
increase thereof be food.
8 And You shall number seven
Sabbaths of years unto you, seven
times seven years; and the space of
the seven Sabbaths of years2 shall be
unto you forty and nine years.
9 Then shall You cause the shofarim
of the Yahubel3 (shofar of the
Jubilees) to sound on the tenth day of
the seventh month, in Yom ha
Kippurim (Day of Atonements) shall
you make the shofar sound throughout
all your land.
10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth
year, and proclaim liberty throughout
all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof: it shall be a Yahubel unto you;
and you shall return every man unto
his possession,4 and you shall return

11 A Yahubel (Jubilee) shall that
fiftieth year be unto you: you shall not
sow, neither reap that which grows of
itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of
your vine undressed.
12 For it is the Yahubel (Jubilee); it
shall be set-apart unto you: you shall
eat the increase thereof out of the
field.
13 In the year of this Yahubel
(Jubilee) you shall return every man
unto his possession.
14 And if You sell anything unto your
neighbour, or buy anything of your
neighbour's hand, you shall not
oppress one another:
15 According to the number of years
after the Yahubel (Jubilee) You shall
buy of your neighbour, and according
unto the number of years of the fruits
he shall sell unto you:
16 According to the multitude of
years You shall increase the price
thereof, and according to the fewness
of years You shall diminish the price of
it: for according to the number of the
years of the fruits will he sell unto you.
17 You shall not therefore oppress
one another; but You shall fear your
Elohim: for I am hwhy your Elohim.

statutes, and keep my judgments, and

land in safety.
19 And the land shall yield her fruit,
and you shall eat your fill, and dwell
therein in safety.
20 And if you shall say, What shall
we eat the seventh year? Behold, we
shall not sow, nor gather in our
increase:
21 Then I will command my blessing
upon you in the sixth year, and it shall
bring forth fruit for three years.
22 And you shall sow the eighth
year, and eat yet of old fruit until the
ninth year; until her fruits come in you
shall eat of the old store.
23 The land shall not be sold forever:
for the land is mine;1 for you are
strangers and sojourners with me.
24 And in all the land of your
possession you shall grant redemption
for the land.
25 If your brother be waxen poor,
and has sold away some of his
possession, and if any of his kin come
to redeem it, then shall he redeem that
which his brother sold.
26 And if the man have none to
redeem it, and himself be able to
redeem it;
27 Then let him count the years of
the sale thereof, and restore the
remainder unto the man to whom he
sold it; that he may return unto his
possession.
28 But if he be not able to restore it
to him, then that which is sold shall
remain in the hand of him that has

Israelites but during the Jubilee year it had to

land-owner is YHWH who gave the land to
Israel.
253
bought it until the year of Yahubel
(Jubilee) and in the Yahubel (Jubilee)
it shall go out, and he shall return unto
his possession.
29 And if a man sell his Beyth
(house) in a walled city, then he may
redeem it within a whole year after it is
sold; within a full year may he redeem
it.
30 And if it be not redeemed within
the space of a full year, then the Beyth
(house) that is in the walled city shall
be established forever to him that
bought it throughout his generations: it
shall not go out in the Yahubel
(Jubilee).
31 But the Batiym (houses) of the
villages which have no wall round
about them shall be counted as the
fields of the country: they may be
redeemed, and they shall go out in the
Yahubel (Jubilee).
32 Notwithstanding the cities of the
Lewites, and the Batiym (houses) of
the cities of their possession, may the
Lewites redeem at any time.
33 And if a man purchase of the
Lewites, then the Beyth (house) that
was sold, and the city of his
possession, shall go out in the year of
Yahubel (Jubilee) for the Batiym
(houses) of the cities of the Lewites
are their possession among the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
34 But the field of the suburbs of
their cities may not be sold; for it is
their everlasting possession.
35 And if your brother be waxen
poor, and fallen in decay with you;
then You shall relieve him: yes, though
he be a foreigner, or a sojourner; that
he may live with you.
36 Take You no usury of him, or
increase: but fear your Elohim; that
your brother may live with you.
37 You shall not give him your
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
money upon usury, nor lend him your
victuals for increase.
38 I am hwhy your Elohim, which
brought you forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), to give you the land
of Canaan, and to be your Elohim.
39 And if your brother that dwells by
you be waxen poor, and be sold unto
you; You shall not compel him to serve
as a bondservant:
40 But as a hired servant, and as a
sojourner, he shall be with you, and
shall serve you unto the year of
Yahubel (Jubilee).
41 And then shall he depart from
you, both he and his children with him,
and shall return unto his own
mishpacha (family), and unto the
possession of his ahvot (fathers) shall
he return.
42 For they are my servants, which I
brought forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt): they shall not be
sold as bondmen.
43 You shall not rule over him with
rigour; but shall fear your Elohim.
44 Both your bondmen, and your
bondmaids, which You shall have,
shall be of the heathen that are round
about you; of them shall you buy
bondmen and bondmaids.
45 Moreover of the children of the
strangers that do sojourn among you,
of them shall you buy, and of their
families that are with you, which they
begat in your land: and they shall be
your possession.
46 And you shall take them as an
inheritance for your children after you,
to inherit them for a possession; they
shall be your bondmen forever: but
over your brethren the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), you shall not rule
one over another with rigour.
47 And if a sojourner or foreigner
wax rich by you, and your brother that
254
lives by him wax poor, and sell himself
unto the foreigner or sojourner by you,
or to the stock of the foreigner's
mishpacha (family):
48 After that he is sold he may be
redeemed again; one of his brethren
may redeem him:
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's
son, may redeem him, or any that is
nigh of kin unto him of his mishpacha
(family) may redeem him; or if he be
able, he may redeem himself.
50 And he shall reckon with him that
bought him from the year that he was
sold to him unto the year of Yahubel
(Jubilee) and the price of his sale shall
be according unto the number of
years, according to the time of a hired
servant shall it be with him.
51 If there be yet many years behind,
according unto them he shall give
again the price of his redemption out
of the money that he was bought for.
52 And if there remain but few years
unto the year of Yahubel (Jubilee),
then he shall count with him, and
according unto his years shall he give
him again the price of his redemption.
53 And as a yearly hired servant
shall he be with him: and the other
shall not rule with rigour over him in
your sight.
54 And if he be not redeemed in
these years, then he shall go out in the
year of Yahubel (Jubilee), both he,
and his children with him.
55 For unto me the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) are servants; they
are my servants whom I brought forth
out of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt): I
am hwhy your Elohim.

Chapter 26
1 You shall make you no idols nor
graven image, neither rear you up a
standing image, neither shall you set
up any image of stone in your land, to
bow down unto it: for I am hwhy your
Elohim.
2 You shall keep my Sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuary: I am hwhy.
3 If you walk in my statutes, and
keep my commandments, and do
them;
4 Then I will give you rain in due
season, and the land shall yield her
increase, and the trees of the field
shall yield their fruit.
5 And your threshing season shall
extend for you until the grape crop,
and the grape crop shall extend unto
the sowing time: and you shall eat
your lechem (bread) to the full, and
dwell in your land safely.
6 And I will give shalom (peace) in
the land, and you shall lie down, and
none shall make you afraid: and I will
rid evil beasts out of the land, neither
shall the sword go through your land.
7 And you shall chase your enemies,
and they shall fall before you by the
sword.1
8 And five of you shall chase an
hundred, and an hundred of you shall
put ten Thousand to flight: and your
enemies shall fall before you by the
sword.2
1 This will only happen when you obey Torah
but for disobedient people they will be chased
out by their enemies.
2 When we are obedient to YHWH’s Torah we
will prevail against any enemy but if we are
disobedient like the Christians, then our
enemies will come and destroy our houses and
255
9 For I will have respect unto you,
and make you fruitful, and multiply
you, and establish my covenant with
you.
10 And you shall eat old store, and
bring forth the old because of the new.
11 And I will set my tabernacle
among you: and my soul shall not
abhor you.
12 And I will be continually in your
midst3 and will be your Elohim, and
you shall be my people.
13 I am hwhy your Elohim, which
brought you forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), that you should not
be their bondmen; and I have broken
the bands of your yoke, and elevated
your positions.4
14 But if you will not hearken5 unto
me, and will not do all these
commandments;
15 And if you shall despise my
statutes,6 or if your soul abhor my
judgments, so that you will not do all
my commandments, but that you
break my covenant:
16 I also will do this to you; I will
take away our children. This is a clear sign of
rebelliousness in our people.
3 Only if we keep His halachot (commandments
of Torah).
4Only free men can have elevated positions
and so Israel was now fully free.
5 If they do not listen, they will be outcasts. To
listen is to obey the Torah.
6 Many even today despise the Torah as a
Jewish thing, and still refuse to do the
commandments written in the Torah. Such as
the eternal loving annual feasts YHWH gave
us, so that our children will learn the truth and
not go astray.
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
even appoint terror over you1, wasting
disease,2 and fever, which shall
consume the eyes,3 and cause sorrow
of heart: and you shall sow your seed
in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.4
1 The terror is to send them into Islamic
nations who will continually oppress them. If
we take a critical look at both the Christians
and Jewish people, both have been oppressed,
the most by Islamic nations. The terror that
was appointed was that the followers of Allah
were going to bring terror on the cities that the
scattered tribes had inhabited. Just look at
Pakistan. Terror is all over it and Pakistan has a
sizeable Jewish bloodline and a Northern
Israelite community. Christians there are
continually oppressed, and treated like third
class citizens, because they are still not
obedient to the Torah. Also look at India. The
bombing campaigns conducted from 2005 to
2009, were all done by Muslim radicals who
brought sheer terror in India. Again, India has
sizeable Jewish communities and many from
the scattered tribes are still living there. The
cause and effect scenario takes us back to
nothing more than the judgment YHWH
appointed, for Torah disobedience.
2 One of our modern wasting diseases is
Diabetes Mellitus. Do you ever wonder why
there is such a high rate of this? This is one
such disease appointed to afflict people who
are Torah disobedient and it runs in families.
Try tracing the history of the family and see
who has this disease. You will find that Torah
disobedience runs in that families history too,
and I guarantee somewhere along the line,
they will have Israelite blood.
3 This disease as the Torah says causes issues
to the eyes by destroying your eyesight. Just
think it over; if our eyes are not willing to read
and obey the Torah, the law of YHWH then
what good are those eyes? YHWH’s one
judgment alone is enough to send us all railing
to the floor. So much for our modern medicine.
4 So true that our enemies are eating our
seed, one grows and another eats. All the
Jewish people were thrown out of Muslim lands
and those that remained were oppressed
256
17 And I will set my face against you,
and you shall be slain before your
enemies: they that hate you shall reign
over you; and you shall flee when
none pursues you.5
18 And if you will not yet for all this
hearken unto me, then I will punish
you seven times more for your sins.6
19 And I will break the pride of your
power;7 and I will make your
shamayim (heavens) as iron,8 and
your earth as bronze:9
continually. Christians that own portions of
land in Muslim nations are at times, forcefully
ousted and occupied by Muslims. Christian
families with sons and daughters have them at
times, taken away and forcefully raped. The
religion that was appointed for terror was
Islam and YHWH is seeing if his people will
turn away from sin and be obedient to his
Torah. For the minute they start to behave as
he wants them to, he will offer his full
protection or else they will remain in this on/off
state of anguish of heart.
5 Your position will not be exalted but lowly
unlike Daniel and Yosef even in exile they got
exalted positions because of their Torah
obedience.
6 The House of Israel’s sins were multiplied
seven times while Yahudah repented after the
Babylonian captivity. The sins of Ephraim were
finished in 1996 in our time.
7 Reflected by the Sanctuary or Temple and
the last time it was the Islamic Caliph Omar
who came in 637AD and occupied the land of
Israel and took over the Temple Mount and it
has been under their control since then.
8 Symbol of oppression
9 Symbol of Judgment by the Islamic nations
(Bronze is the color of Islam), they will convert
your children over to Islam and there is
nothing you can do about it since you are
disobedient and unless you return (teshuvah:
repent) to obedience none of your prayers will
be heard. Not obeying Torah has serious
implications for the whole family of YHWH. In
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
20 And your strength shall be spent
in vain: for your land shall not yield her
increase, neither shall the trees of the
land yield their fruits.
21 And if you walk contrary unto me,
and will not hearken unto me; I will
bring seven times more plagues upon
you according to your sins.
22 I will also send wild beasts among
you, which shall rob you of your
children,1 and destroy your cattle,2
Dani’el 2:32 ‘This image’s head was of fine
gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and
thighs of bronze.’
Belly and thighs of bronze. This was the
Grecian Empire which was later occupied by
the Muslims all the way from Turkey to
Pakistan. This was clear prophecy that the
Muslims will invade and take over due to the
lack of obedience of Israelites. They were
primarily dispersed in the East and that is
where Islam is centered and huge in number.
Area of Tifereth (Glory) Yesod (reproduction)
and Malchut (Kingdom) covered by the Islamic
hoards. Now they are multiplying and
glorifying Allah while the Israelites were crying
in exile. Its legs of Iron. Again Muslim nations
in the east and southern Russian hemisphere
match the description of Yesod and Malchut.
These two areas here show us how they are
trying to replace the true sefirah of YHWH with
their own version of Yesod (reproduction) and
Malchut (Kingdom). Very few have eyes to see
this.
1 Drash allegoric for spiritual demonic forces
that will be unleashed and since you would
have no protection from YHWH they can do
whatever they like to turn your children away
from you. This is common place amongst many
believers since they are not Torah obedient.
2 These are not just literal wild beasts, they
are symbols of people. The Islamic nations are
doing this today. Time to wake up.

and make you few in number;3 and
your high ways shall be desolate.

me by these things, but will walk
contrary unto me;
24 Then will I also walk contrary unto
you,4 and will punish you yet seven
times for your sins.5
25 And I will bring a sword6 upon
you,7 that shall avenge the vengeance
of my covenant: and when you are
gathered together within your cities, I
will send the pestilence among you;
and you shall be delivered into the
hand of the enemy.
26 And when I have broken the staff
of your lechem (bread), ten women8
shall bake your lechem (bread) in one
oven, and they shall deliver you your
lechem (bread) again by weight: and
you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
27 And if you will not for all this
hearken unto me, but walk contrary
unto me;

also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise
you seven times for your sins.

few in numbers while the Muslims multiply and
make life unbearable for many around them.

YHWH will not listen to your prayers when you
disobey Him and His commandments.

sons, and the flesh of your daughters
shall you eat.1
30 And I will destroy your high
places, and cut down your images,
and cast your carcasses upon the
carcasses of your idols, and my soul
shall abhor you.
31 And I will make your cities waste,
and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the
savour of your sweet odours.
32 And I will bring the land into
desolation: and your enemies which
dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33 And I will scatter you among the
heathen,2 and will draw out a sword3
after you: and your land shall be
desolate,4 and your cities waste.
34 Then shall the land enjoy her
Sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate,
and you be in your enemies land; even
1 The enemy will besiege and this is literal.
Sadly, this happened to Israel and it will
happen to all those engrafted into the
covenants who do not obey.
2 Indeed this is YHWH’s recurrent warning to
Israel. Yet Israel did not heed it, so first came
the dispersal of the Ten Northern Tribes to
Assyria and then came the dispersal of the two
Southern tribes to Iraq. The term heathen
though applied at one time to the Assyrians
and Babylonians, is now firmly affixed to the
Muslim nations.
3 The sword is a symbol of both ‘war’ and
persecution for Israel. Although Judah
repented and about 25% of them returned to
Israel after the Babylonian exile, the ten
Northern tribes did not repent, and remained in
exile until our time, 1996.
4 History confirms that YHWH did indeed leave
Israel desolate for many centuries, while
Jewish Israel wandered like gypsies from
country to country and the Northern tribes
assimilated into the nations and lost their
identity.
258
then shall the land rest, and enjoy her
Sabbaths.
35 As long as it lies desolate it shall
rest; because it did not rest in your
Sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it.
36 And upon them that are left alive
of you I will send faintness into their
hearts in the lands of their enemies;
and the sound of a shaken leaf shall
chase them; and they shall flee, as
fleeing from a sword; and they shall
fall when none pursues.5
37 And they shall fall one upon
another, as it were before a sword,
when none pursues and you shall
have no power to stand before your
enemies.6
38 And you shall perish among the
heathen, and the land of your enemies
shall eat you up.7
39 And they that are left of you shall
pine away in their iniquity in your
enemies' lands; and also in the
iniquities of their ahvot (fathers) shall
they pine away with them.
40 If they shall confess their iniquity,
and the iniquity of their ahvot
(fathers),8 with their trespass which
they trespassed against me, and that
also they have walked contrary unto
5 Always fearful of your enemies roundabout
6 Look in Islamic lands, what power do the
Christians have? They have no power to stand
against their enemies, because they disobey
the Torah. Many of these have Israelite
heritage but are still stubborn like their
forefathers.
7 Many believers have zero value and are
treated like 2nd and 3rd class citizens in the
enemy’s lands and they don’t even know they
belong to Israel.
8 When we confess our sins we also need to
confess our father’s sins that we may be
forgiven to lead a healthy life.

me;
41 And that I also have walked
contrary unto them, and have brought
them into the land of their enemies; if
then their uncircumcised hearts be
humbled, and they then accept of the
punishment of their iniquity:
42 Then will I remember my
covenant with Ya’acob (Jacob), and
also my covenant with Yah’sac
(Isaac), and also my covenant with
Abraham will I remember; and I will
remember the land.1
43 The land also shall be left of
them, and shall enjoy her Sabbaths,
while she lies desolate outside them:
and they shall accept of the
punishment of their iniquity: because,
even because they despised my
judgments, and because their soul
abhorred my statutes.
44 And yet for all that, when they be
in the land of their enemies, I will not
cast them away, neither will I abhor
them, to destroy them utterly, and to
break my covenant with them: for I am
hwhy their Elohim.
45 But I will for their sakes remember
the covenant of their ancestors, whom
I brought forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) in the sight of the
heathen, that I might be their Elohim: I
am hwhy.

(Moses), saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
When a man shall make a singular
vow, the persons shall be for hwhy by
your estimation.
3 And your estimation shall be of the
male from twenty years old even unto
sixty years old, even your estimation
shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the
shekel of the sanctuary.
4 And if it be a female, then your
estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 And if it be from five years old even
unto twenty years old, then your
estimation shall be of the male twenty
shekels, and for the female ten
shekels.
6 And if it be from a month old even
unto five years old, then your
estimation shall be of the male five
shekels of silver, and for the female
your estimation shall be three shekels
of silver.
7 And if it be from sixty years old and
above; if it be a male, then your
estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and
for the female ten shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than your
estimation, then he shall present
himself before the kohen (priest), and
the kohen (priest) shall value him;
according to his ability that vowed
shall the kohen (priest) value him.
9 And if it be an animal, whereof men
bring an offering unto hwhy all that
any man gives of such unto hwhy
shall be set-apart.
10 He shall not alter it, nor change it,
a good for a bad, or a bad for a good:
and if he shall at all change beast for
beast, then it and the exchange
thereof shall be set-apart.
11 And if it be any unclean animal, of
which they do not offer a sacrifice unto
hwhy, then he shall present the animal
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
before the kohen (priest):
12 And the kohen (priest) shall value
it, whether it be good or bad: as You
value it, who are the kohen (priest), so
shall it be.
13 But if he will at all redeem it, then
he shall add a fifth part thereof unto
your estimation.
14 And when a man shall set-apart
his Beyth (house) to be set-apart unto
hwhy, then the kohen (priest) shall
estimate it, whether it be good or bad:
as the kohen (priest) shall estimate it,
so shall it stand.
15 And if he that set it apart will
redeem his Beyth (house), then he
shall add the fifth part of the money of
your estimation unto it, and it shall be
his.
16 And if a man shall sanctify unto
hwhy some part of a field of his
possession, then your estimation shall
be according to the seed thereof: an
homer of barley seed shall be valued
at fifty shekels of silver.
17 If he sanctifies his field from the
year of Yahubel (Jubilee), according to
your estimation it shall stand.
18 But if he sanctify his field after the

(priest) shall reckon unto him the
money according to the years that
remain, even unto the year of the
Yahubel (Jubilees), and it shall be
abated from your estimation.
19 And if he that set-apart the field
will in any wise redeem it, then he
shall add the fifth part of the money of
your estimation unto it, and it shall be
assured to him.
20 And if he will not redeem the field,
or if he have sold the field to another
man, it shall not be redeemed any
more.
21 But the field, when it goes out in
the Yahubel (Jubilees), shall be set-
260
apart unto hwhy, as a field devoted;
the possession thereof shall be the
kohen’s (priest).
22 And if a man sanctify unto hwhy a
field which he has bought, which is not
of the fields of his possession;
23 Then the kohen (priest) shall
reckon unto him the worth of your
estimation, even unto the year of the
Yahubel (Jubilees) and he shall give
your estimation in that day, as a set-
apart thing unto hwhy.
24 In the year of the Yahubel
(Jubilees) the field shall return unto
him of whom it was bought, even to
him to whom the possession of the
land did belong.
25 And all your estimations shall be
according to the shekel of the
sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the
shekel.
26 Only the bechor (firstborn) of the
animals, which should be hwhy’s
bechor (firstborn), no man shall set it
apart; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is
hwhy's.
27 And if it be of an unclean animal,
then he shall redeem it according to
your estimation, and shall add a fifth
part of it thereto: or if it be not
redeemed, then it shall be sold
according to your estimation.
28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing,
that a man shall devote unto hwhy of
all that he has, both of man and
animal, and of the field of his
possession, shall be sold or
redeemed: every devoted thing is
most set-apart unto hwhy.
29 None devoted, which shall be
devoted of men, shall be redeemed;
but shall surely be put to death.
30 And all the tithe of the land,
whether of the seed of the land, or of
the fruit of the etz (tree), is hwhy's: it is
set-apart unto hwhy.
 Vayikra (Leviticus)
31 And if a man will at all redeem
any of his tithes, he shall add thereto
the fifth part thereof.
32 And concerning the tithe of the
herd, or of the flock, even of
whatsoever passed under the rod, the
tenth1 shall be set-apart unto hwhy.
33 He shall not search whether it be
good or bad, neither shall he change
it: and if he change it at all, then both it
and the change thereof shall be set-
apart; it shall not be redeemed.

which hwhy commanded Musa

we can see we have 22,273 first born sons in
Israel to show us this was a Patriarchal culture
with one man having several wives. This allows
us to compute quite easily that in order to have
this many sons, we must have the same
number of families which is 22,273 families. So
if we take 633,550 men and divide by the 22,
273 individual families we arrive at a figure of
28 rounded down. This means that each
Israelite family would have 28 sons on
average. Now we are not taking any daughters
into the equation because if we do, then we
need to take an equal amount of daughters so
28 plus 28 would be 56 children per family.

44 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
45 Take the Lewites instead of all the
bechor (firstborn) among the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and the cattle of
the Lewites instead of their cattle; and
the Lewites shall be mine: I am hwhy.
46 And for those that are to be
redeemed of the two hundred and
seventy three of the bechor (firstborn)
of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
which are more than the Lewites;
47 You shall even take five shekels
apiece by the censes, after the shekel
of the sanctuary shall You take them:
(the shekel is twenty gerahs):
48 And You shall give the money,
wherewith the odd number of them is
to be redeemed, unto Aharon and to
his sons.
49 And Musa (Moses) took the
redemption money of them that were
over and above them that were
redeemed by the Lewites:
50 Of the bechor (firstborn) of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) he took
the money; a thousand three hundred
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
and sixty five shekels, after the shekel
of the sanctuary:
51 And Musa (Moses) gave the
money of them that were redeemed
unto Aharon and to his sons,
according to the word of hwhy, as
hwhy commanded Musa (Moses).
Chapter 4
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and unto Aharon, saying,
2 Take the sum of the sons of
Kohath from among the sons of Lewi,
after their mishpachot (families), by
the Beyth (house) of their ahvot
(fathers),
3 From thirty1 years old and upward
even until fifty years old, all that enters
into the host, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4 This shall be the service of the
sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the
congregation, about the most set-apart
things:
5 And when the camp moves
forward, Aharon shall come, and his
sons, and they shall take down the
covering veil, and cover the ark of
testimony with it:
6 And shall put thereon the covering
of blue leather,2 and shall spread over
it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put
in the staves thereof.
7 And upon the table of lechem
panayim (bread of the faces) they
shall spread a cloth of blue, and put
thereon the dishes, and the spoons,
and the bowls, and covers to cover
withal: and the continual lechem

with a covering of blue leather,3 and
shall put in the staves thereof.
9 And they shall take a cloth of blue,
and cover the menorah of the light,
and the lamps, and its tongs, and his
fire pan, and all the oil vessels thereof,
wherewith they minister unto it:
10 And they shall put it and all the
vessels thereof within a covering of
blue leather, and shall put it upon a
bar.
11 And upon the golden altar they
shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover
it with a covering of blue leather, and
shall put to the staves thereof:
12 And they shall take all the
instruments of ministry, wherewith
they minister in the sanctuary, and put
them in a cloth of blue, and cover
them with a covering of blue leather,
and shall put them on a bar:
13 And they shall take away the
ashes from the altar, and spread a
purple cloth thereon:
14 And they shall put upon it all the
vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister about it, even the censers, the
flesh hooks, and the shovels, and the
basins, all the vessels of the altar; and
they shall spread upon it a covering of
blue leather, and put to the staves of
it.
15 And when Aharon and his sons
have made an end of covering the
sanctuary, and all the vessels of the
sanctuary, as the camp is to move
forward; after that, the sons of Kohath

touch any set-apart thing, lest they die.
These things are the burden of the
sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the
congregation.

son of Aharon the kohen (priest) is the
oil for the light, and the sweet incense,
and the daily grain offering, and the
anointing oil, and the oversight of all
the tabernacle, and of all that therein
is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels
thereof.
17 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and unto Aharon, saying,
18 Do not cut off the tribe of the
mishpachot (families) of the
Kohathites from among the Lewites:
19 But thus do unto them, that they
may live, and not die, when they
approach unto the most set-apart
things: Aharon and his sons shall go
in, and appoint them every one to his
service and to his duty:
20 But they shall not go in to see
when the set-apart things are covered,
lest they die.

Gershon, throughout the Batiym

congregation,

and the hanging for the door of the
gate of the court, which is by the
tabernacle and by the altar round
about, and their cords, and all the
instruments of their service, and all
that is made for them: so shall they
serve.
27 At the appointment of Aharon and
his sons shall be all the service of the
sons of the Gershonites, in all their
burdens, and in all their service: and
you shall appoint unto them in charge
all their burdens.
28 This is the service of the
mishpachot (families) of the sons of
Gershon in the tabernacle of the
congregation: and their charge shall
be under the hand of Ithamar the son
of Aharon the kohen (priest).

shall number them after their

even unto fifty years old shall You
number them, every one that enters
into the service, to do the work of the
tabernacle of the congregation.

started at age thirty and finished at fifty years

about, and their sockets, and their
pins, and their cords, with all their
instruments, and with all their service:

Chapter 5
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Command the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they put
outside of the camp every leper, and
every one that has a discharge, and
whosoever is defiled by the dead:
3 Both male and female shall you put
out, outside the camp shall you put
them; that they defile not their camps,
in the midst whereof I dwell.
4 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) did so, and put them outside
the camp: as hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), so did the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
6 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) when a man or
woman shall commit any sin that men
commit, to do a trespass against
hwhy, and that person be guilty;
7 Then they shall confess their sin
which they have done: and he shall
recompense his trespass with the
principal thereof, and add unto it the
273
fifth part thereof,1 and give it unto him
against whom he has trespassed.
8 But if the man have no kinsman to
recompense the trespass unto, let the
trespass be recompensed unto hwhy,
even to the kohen (priest);2 beside the
ram of the atonement, whereby an
atonement shall be made for him.
9 And every offering of all the set-
apart things of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), which they bring
unto the kohen (priest), shall be his.
10 And every man's set-apart things
shall be his: whatsoever any man
gives the kohen (priest), it shall be his.
11 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
12 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
If any man's wife go aside, and commit
a trespass against him,
13 And a man has intercourse with
her,3 and it be secret from the eyes of
her husband, and be kept close, and
she be defiled, and there be no
witness against her, neither she was
caught;
14 And the ruach (spirit) of jealousy
come upon him, and he be jealous of
his wife, and she be defiled: or if the
ruach (spirit) of jealousy come upon
him, and he be jealous of his wife, and
she be not defiled:
1 So if you defrauded someone you will return
the principle sum plus 20%, or say if you owed
somebody $100 then you had not paid, you
would therefore repent, and pay $120 back
and make restitution.
2 Today this would mean paying the sum to a
Torah teacher who believes in teaching about
the Messiah of Israel. This is the payment to
YHWH as there is no Temple.

of our society today.

15 Then shall the man bring his wife
unto the kohen (priest), and he shall
bring her offering for her, the tenth part
of an ephah of barley meal; he shall
pour no oil upon it, nor put
frankincense thereon; for it is an
offering of jealousy, an offering of
memorial, bringing iniquity to
remembrance.
16 And the kohen (priest) shall bring
her near, and set her before hwhy:
17 And the kohen (priest) shall take
set-apart mayim (water) in an earthen
vessel; and of the dust1 that is in the
floor of the tabernacle the kohen
(priest) shall take, and put it into the
mayim (water):
18 And the kohen (priest) shall set
the woman before hwhy, and uncover
the woman's head,2 and put the
offering of memorial in her hands,
which is the jealousy offering: and the
kohen (priest) shall have in his hand
the bitter mayim (water) that causes
the curse:

charge her by an oath, and say unto
the woman, if no man has slept with
you, and if You have not gone aside to
uncleanness with another instead of
your husband, be You free from this
bitter mayim (water) that causes the
curse.3
20 But if you have gone aside to
another instead of your husband, and
if You be defiled, and some man have
intercourse with you beside your
husband:
21 Then the kohen (priest) shall
charge the woman with an oath of
cursing, and the kohen (priest) shall
say unto the woman, hwhy make you
a curse and a cursing among your
people, when hwhy will make your
thigh to rot, and your belly to swell;
22 And this mayim (water) that
causes the curse shall go into your
bowels, to make your belly to swell,
and your thigh to rot: And the woman
shall say, Amen, amen.
23 And the kohen (priest) shall write
these curses in a scroll, and he shall
blot them out with the bitter mayim
(water):
24 And he shall cause the woman to
drink the bitter mayim (water) that
causes the curse: and the mayim
(water) that causes the curse shall
enter into her, and become bitter.
25 Then the kohen (priest) shall take
the grain offering of jealousy out of the
woman's hand, and shall wave the
offering before hwhy, and offer it upon
the altar:
26 And the kohen (priest) shall take
an handful of the offering, even the
memorial thereof, and burn it upon the

altar, and afterward shall cause the
woman to drink the mayim (water).
27 And when he has made her to
drink the mayim (water), then it shall
come to pass, that, if she be defiled,
and have done trespass against her
husband, that the mayim (water) that
causes the curse shall enter into her,
and become bitter, and her belly shall
swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the
woman shall be a curse among her
people.
28 And if the woman be not defiled,
but be clean; then she shall be free,
and shall conceive children.
29 This is the Torah of jealousies,
when a wife goes aside to another
instead of her husband, and is defiled;
30 Or when the ruach (spirit) of
jealousy comes upon him, and he be
jealous over his wife, and shall set the
woman before hwhy, and the kohen
(priest) shall execute upon her all this
Torah.1
31 Then shall the man be guiltless
from iniquity, and this woman shall
bear her iniquity.

1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,

Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
When either man or woman shall
separate themselves to vow a vow of
a Nazarite, to separate themselves
unto hwhy:
3 He shall separate himself from
wine and strong drink, and shall drink

adulterous wives and freeing them from Torah
and then being raised again to take back his
two wives, the house of Judah and the House
of Israel.
275
no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of
strong drink, neither shall he drink any
liquor of grapes,2 nor eat moist
grapes, or dried.
4 All the days of his separation shall
he eat nothing that is made of the vine
etz (tree), from the kernels even to the
husk.
5 All the days of the vow of his
separation there shall no razor come
upon his head: until the days be
fulfilled, in the which he separates
himself unto hwhy, he shall be set-
apart, and shall let the locks of the hair
of his head grow.3
6 All the days that he separates
himself unto hwhy he shall come at no
dead body.
7 He shall not make himself unclean
for his father, or for his mother, for his
brother, or for his sister, when they
die: because the consecration of his
Elohim is upon his head.
8 All the days of his separation he is
set-apart unto hwhy.
9 And if any man die very suddenly
by him, and he has defiled the head of
his consecration; then he shall shave
his head in the day of his cleansing,
on the seventh day shall he shave it.
10 And on the eighth day he shall
bring two turtles, or two young
pigeons, to the kohen (priest), to the
door of the tabernacle of the
congregation:
11 And the kohen (priest) shall offer
the one for a sin offering, and the
other for a burnt offering, and make
atonement for him, for that he sinned
by the dead, and shall set-apart his

12 And he shall consecrate unto
hwhy the days of his separation, and
shall bring a lamb of the first year for a
trespass offering: but the days that
were before shall be lost, because his
separation was defiled.
13 And this is the Torah of the
Nazarite,1 when the days of his
separation are fulfilled: he shall be
brought unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation:
14 And he shall offer his offering unto
hwhy, one he lamb of the first year
without blemish for a burnt offering,
and one ewe lamb of the first year
without blemish for a sin offering, and
one ram without blemish for shalom
(peace) offerings,
15 And a basket of matzah
(unleavened), cakes of fine flour
mingled with oil, and wafers of matzah
(unleavened) anointed with oil, and
their grain offering, and their drink
offerings.
16 And the kohen (priest) shall bring
them before hwhy, and shall offer his
sin offering, and his burnt offering:
17 And he shall offer the ram for a
sacrifice of shalom (peace) offerings
unto hwhy, with the basket of matzah
(unleavened bread): the kohen (priest)
shall offer also his grain offering, and
his drink offering.

his separation, and put it in the fire
which is under the sacrifice of the
shalom (peace) offerings.
19 And the kohen (priest) shall take
the cooked leg of the ram, and one
matzah (unleavened) cake out of the
basket, and one matzah wafer, and
shall put them upon the hands of the
Nazarite, after the hair of his
separation is shaven:
20 And the kohen (priest) shall wave
them for a wave offering before hwhy:
this is set-apart for the kohen (priest),
with the wave breast and the
contribution thigh offering: and after
that the Nazarite may drink wine.
21 This is the Torah of the Nazarite
who has vowed, and of his offering
unto hwhy for his separation, beside
that that his hand shall get: according
to the vow which he vowed, so he
must do after the Torah of his
separation.
22 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
23 Speak unto Aharon and unto his
sons, saying, On this wise you shall
bless the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), saying unto them,

1 And it came to pass on the day that
Musa (Moses) had fully set up the
tabernacle, and had anointed it, and
set-them apart, and all the instruments
thereof, both the altar and all the
vessels thereof, and had anointed
them, and set them apart;
2 That the princes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), heads of the Beyth (house) of
their ahvot (fathers), who were the
princes of the tribes, and were over
them that were registered, offered:
3 And they brought their offering
before hwhy, six covered wagons, and
twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the
princes, and for each one an ox: and
they brought them before the
tabernacle.
4 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
5 Take it of them, that they may be to
do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation; and You shall give them
unto the Lewites, to every man
according to his service.
6 And Musa (Moses) took the
wagons and the oxen, and gave them
unto the Lewites.
7 Two wagons and four oxen he
gave unto the sons of Gershon,
according to their service:
8 And four wagons and eight oxen he
gave unto the sons of Merari,
according unto their service, under the
hand of Ithamar the son of Aharon the
kohen (priest).
9 But unto the sons of Kohath he
gave none: because the service of the
sanctuary belonging unto them was
that they should bear upon their
shoulders.
10 And the princes offered for
277
dedicating of the altar in the day that it
was anointed, even the princes offered
their offering before the altar.
11 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), They shall offer their offering,
each prince on his1 day, for the
dedicating of the altar.
12 And he that offered his offering
the first day was Nachshon the son of
Amminadab, of the tribe of Yahudah
(Judah):
13 And his offering was one silver
charger, the weight thereof was an
hundred and thirty shekels, one silver
bowl of seventy shekels, after the
shekel of the sanctuary; both of them
were full of fine flour mingled with oil
for a grain offering:
14 One spoon of ten shekels of gold,
full of incense:
15 One young bullock, one ram, one
lamb of the first year, for a burnt
offering:
16 One kid of the goats for a sin
offering:
17 And for a sacrifice of shalom
(peace) offerings, two oxen, five rams,
five he goats, five lambs of the first
year: this was the offering of
Nachshon the son of Amminadab.
18 On the second day Nethan’el the
son of Zuar, prince of Yah’sachar
(Issachar), did offer:
19 He offered for his offering one
silver charger, the weight whereof was
an hundred and thirty shekels, one
silver bowl of seventy shekels, after
the shekel of the sanctuary; both of
them full of fine flour mingled with oil
for a grain offering:

full of incense:

days one for each tribe.

five he goats, five lambs of the first
year: this was the offering of Nethan’el
the son of Zuar.
24 On the third day Eliab the son of
Helon, prince of the children of
Zebulun, did offer:
25 His offering was one silver
charger, the weight whereof was an
hundred and thirty shekels, one silver
bowl of seventy shekels, after the
shekel of the sanctuary; both of them
full of fine flour mingled with oil for a
grain offering:

(peace) offerings, two oxen, five rams,
five he goats, five lambs of the first
year: this was the offering of Eliab the
son of Helon.
30 On the fourth day Elizur the son of
Shedeur, prince of the children of
Reuben, did offer:
31 His offering was one silver
charger of the weight of an hundred
and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of
seventy shekels, after the shekel of
the sanctuary; both of them full of fine
flour mingled with oil for a grain
offering:

full of incense:

lamb of the first year, for a burnt

offering:
34 One kid of the goats for a sin
offering:
35 And for a sacrifice of shalom
(peace) offerings, two oxen, five rams,

he spoke unto him.

Chapter 8
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Speak unto Aharon, and say unto
him, When You light the lamps, the
seven lamps shall give light over
against the menorah.
3 And Aharon did so; he lighted the
lamps thereof over against the
candlestick, as hwhy commanded
Musa (Moses).
4 And this work of the menorah was
of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof,
unto the flowers thereof, was beaten
work: according unto the pattern which
hwhy had showed Musa (Moses), so
he made the menorah.
5 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
6 Take the Lewites from among the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
cleanse them.
7 And this You shall do unto them, to
cleanse them: Sprinkle mayim (water)
of purifying upon them, and let them
shave all their flesh, and let them
wash their clothes, and so make
themselves clean.
8 Then let them take a young bullock
with his grain offering, even fine flour
mingled with oil, and another young
bullock shall You take for a sin
offering.
9 And You shall bring the Lewites
before the tabernacle of the
congregation: and You shall gather the
whole assembly of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) together:
10 And You shall bring the Lewites
before hwhy and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall put their hands
upon the Lewites:
11 And Aharon shall offer the
Lewites before hwhy for an offering of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), that
they may execute the service of hwhy.
281
12 And the Lewites shall lay their
hands upon the heads of the bullocks:
and You shall offer the one for a sin
offering, and the other for a burnt
offering, unto hwhy, to make an
atonement for the Lewites.
13 And You shall set the Lewites
before Aharon, and before his sons,
and offer them for an offering unto
hwhy.
14 Thus shall You separate the
Lewites from among the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and the Lewites
shall be mine.
15 And after that shall the Lewites go
in to do the service of the tabernacle
of the congregation: and You shall
cleanse them, and offer them for an
offering.
16 For they are wholly given unto me
from among the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); instead of such as open every
womb, even instead of the bechor
(firstborn) of all the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), have I taken them
unto me.
17 For all the bechor (firstborn) of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) are mine,
both man and beast: on the day that I
smote every bechor (firstborn) in the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) I set them
apart for myself.
18 And I have taken the Lewites for
all the bechor (firstborn) of the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
19 And I have given the Lewites as a
grain to Aharon and to his sons from
among the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), to do the service of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) in the
tabernacle of the congregation, and to
make an atonement for the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): that there be no
plague among the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), when the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) come near unto
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
the sanctuary.
20 And Musa (Moses), and Aharon,
and all the congregation of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), did to
the Lewites according unto all that
hwhy commanded Musa (Moses)
concerning the Lewites, so did the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) unto
them.
21 And the Lewites were purified,
and they washed their clothes; and
Aharon offered them as an offering
before hwhy; and Aharon made
atonement for them to cleanse them.
22 And after that went the Lewites in
to do their service in the tabernacle of
the congregation before Aharon, and
before his sons: as hwhy had
commanded Musa (Moses)
concerning the Lewites, so did they
unto them.
23 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
24 This is it that belonged unto the
Lewites: from twenty and five years
old and upward they shall go in to wait
upon the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation:
25 And from the age of fifty1 years
they shall cease waiting upon the
service thereof, and shall serve no
more:
26 But shall minister with their
brethren in the tabernacle of the
congregation, to keep the charge, and
shall do no service. Thus shall You do
unto the Lewites touching their charge.
Chapter 9
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) in the desert of Sini’yah
(Sinai), in the first month of the second
year after they were come out of the
1 The priesthood was to end at fifty.
282
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), saying,
2 Let the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) also keep the Passover at his
appointed season.
3 In the fourteenth day of this month,
at even, you shall keep it in his
appointed season: according to all the
rites of it, and according to all the
ceremonies thereof, shall you keep it.
4 And Musa (Moses) spoke unto the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they
should keep the Passover.
5 And they kept the Passover on the
fourteenth day2 of the first month at
even in the desert of Sini’yah (Sinai):
according to all that hwhy commanded
Musa (Moses), so did the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
6 And there were certain men, who
were defiled by the dead body of a
man, that they could not keep the
Passover3 on that day: and they came
before Musa (Moses) and before
Aharon on that day:
7 And those men said unto him, We
are defiled by the dead body of a man:
wherefore are we kept back, that we
may not offer an offering of hwhy in
his appointed season among the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
8 And Musa (Moses) said unto them,
Stand still, and I will hear what hwhy
will command concerning you.
9 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
10 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, If any man

Abib (Nisan) which fell on a Wednesday in that
day, and not on Friday as popularly taught.

defiled because they took down Yahushua’s
body so they kept the Passover a month later.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
unclean by reason of a dead body, or
be in a journey afar off, yet he shall
keep the Passover unto hwhy.
11 The fourteenth day of the second
month at even they shall keep it, and
eat it with matzah (unleavened bread)
and bitter herbs.1
12 They shall leave none of it unto
the morning, nor break any bone of it:
according to all the ordinances of the
Passover they shall keep it.
13 But the man that is clean, and is
not in a journey, and forbears to keep
the Passover, even the same soul
shall be cut off from among his people:
because he brought not the offering of
hwhy in his appointed season, that
man shall bear his sin.
14 And if a foreigner shall sojourn
among you, and will keep the
Passover unto hwhy; according to the
ordinance of the Passover and
according to the manner thereof, so
shall he do: you shall have one
ordinance, both for the foreigner,2 and
for him that was born in the land.
15 And on the day that the
tabernacle was reared up the cloud
covered the tabernacle, namely, the
tent of the testimony: and at even
there was upon the tabernacle as it
were the appearance of fire, until the
morning.
16 So it was always the cloud
covered it by day, and the appearance
of fire by night.
17 And when the cloud was taken up
from the tabernacle, then after that the
1Pesach Shani (Second Passover) for those
who missed it and were defiled.
2 One Torah for both – The foreigner who is
going to eat the Passover meal must be
circumcised.
283
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
journeyed: and in the place where the
cloud abode, there the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) pitched their tents.
18 At the commandment of hwhy the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
journeyed, and at the commandment
of hwhy they pitched: as long as the
cloud abode upon the tabernacle they
rested in their tents.
19 And when the cloud tarried long
upon the tabernacle many days, then
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) kept
the charge of hwhy, and journeyed
not.
20 And so it was, when the cloud
was a few days upon the tabernacle;
according to the commandment of
hwhy they abode in their tents, and
according to the commandment of
hwhy they journeyed.
21 And so it was, when the cloud
abode from even unto the morning,
and that the cloud was taken up in the
morning, then they journeyed: whether
it was by day or by night that the cloud
was taken up, they journeyed.
22 Or whether it were two days, or a
month, or a year, that the cloud tarried
upon the tabernacle, remaining
thereon, the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) abode in their tents, and
journeyed not: but when it was taken
up, they journeyed.
23 At the commandment of hwhy
they rested3 in the tents, and at the
commandment of hwhy they
journeyed: they kept the charge of
hwhy, at the commandment of hwhy
by the hand of Musa (Moses).
3 This also means YHWH showed them when it
was the Sabbath and when not. There is no
lunar Sabbath but weekly cycle.

Chapter 10
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Make two shofarim (trumpets) of
silver; of a whole piece shall You
make them: that You may use them
for the calling of the assembly,1 and
for the journeying of the camps.
3 And when they shall blow with
them, all the assembly shall assemble
themselves to you at the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And if they blow but with one
trumpet, then the princes, which are
heads of the thousands of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), shall gather themselves unto
you.
5 When you blow an alarm, then the
camps that lie on the east parts shall
go forward.
6 When you blow an alarm the
second time, then the camps that lie
on the south side shall take their
journey: they shall blow an alarm for
their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is to be
gathered together, you shall blow, but
you shall not sound an alarm.
8 And the sons of Aharon, the
kohenim (priests), shall blow with the
trumpets; and they shall be to you for
an ordinance forever throughout your
generations.2
9 And if you go to war in your land
against the enemy that oppressed
you, then you shall blow an alarm with
the trumpets; and you shall be
remembered before hwhy your

new moons, feasts and days of our Joy. The
two trumpets represent both Houses of Israel
and calling them back to restoration.

Elohim, and you shall be saved from
your enemies.3
10 Also in the day of your gladness,
and in your solemn days, and in the
beginnings of your months, you shall
blow with the trumpets over your burnt
offerings,4 and over the sacrifices of
your shalom (peace) offerings; that
they may be to you for a memorial
before your Elohim: I am hwhy your
Elohim.
11 And it came to pass on the
twentieth day of the second month, in
the second year, that the cloud was
taken up from off the tabernacle of the
testimony.
12 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) took their journeys out of the
desert of Sini’yah (Sinai); and the
cloud rested in the desert of Paran.5
13 And they first took their journey
according to the commandment of
hwhy by the hand of Musa (Moses).
14 In the first place went the banner
of the camp of the children of Yahudah
(Judah) according to their armies: and
over his host was Nachshon the son of
Amminadab.
15 And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Yah’sachar (Issachar)
was Nethan’el the son of Zuar.
16 And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Zebulun was Eliab the
son of Helon.
17 And the tabernacle was taken
down; and the sons of Gershon and
the sons of Merari set forward, bearing
the tabernacle.
3 Even in times of severe problems we should
blow the shofar to receive help from above.
4 Blow during the new moons, feasts and
joyous occasions of Israel.

Shelumi’el the son of Zurishaddai.
20 And over the host of the tribe of

son of Deu’el.
21 And the Kohathites set forward,
bearing the set-apart items of the inner

the tabernacle before their arrival.
22 And the banner of the camp of the
children of Ephraim set forward
according to their armies: and over his
host was Elishama the son of

23 And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Manashsheh was
Gamali’el the son of Pedahzur.
24 And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Binyamin (Benjamin)
was Abidan the son of Gideoni.
25 And the banner of the camp of the
children of Dan set forward, which was
the rearward of all the camps
throughout their hosts: and over his
host was Ahiezer the son of
Ammishaddai.
26 And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Asher was Pagi’el the
son of Ocran.
27 And over the host of the tribe of
the children of Naphtali was Ahira the
son of Enan.
28 Thus were the journeying of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
according to their armies, when they
set forward.
29 And Musa (Moses) said unto
Hobab, the son of Reu’el the
Midianite, Musa (Moses)'s father in
law, We are journeying unto the place
of which hwhy said, I will give it you:
285
You come with us, and we will do you
good for hwhy has spoken good
concerning Yah’sar’el (Israel).
30 And he said unto him, I will not
go; but I will depart to mine own land,
and to my relatives.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray
you; forasmuch as You know how we
are to camp in the desert, and You
may be to us our eyes.
32 And it shall be, if You go with us,
yea, it shall be, that what goodness
hwhy shall do to us, the same will we
do to you.
33 And they departed from the Mount
of hwhy three days' journey: and the
ark of the covenant of hwhy went
before them in the three days' journey,
to search out a resting place for them.
34 And the cloud of hwhy was upon
them by day, when they went out of
the camp.
35 And it came to pass, when the ark
set forward, that Musa (Moses) said,
Rise up, hwhy, and let your enemies
be scattered; and let them that hate
you flee before you.

36 And when it rested, he said,
Return, O hwhy, unto the many
thousands of Yah’sar’el (Israel).

1 And when the people complained,
it displeased hwhy and hwhy heard it;
and his anger flared out against them;
and the fire of hwhy burnt among
them, and consumed them that were
in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 And the people cried unto Musa
(Moses); and when Musa (Moses)
prayed unto hwhy, the fire was
quenched.
3 And he called the name of the
place Teberah1: because the fire of
hwhy burnt among them.
4 And the mixed multitude that was
among them fell to lusting: and the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) also wept
again, and said, who shall give us
flesh to eat?2
5 We remember the fish, which we
did eat in Mitzrayim (Egypt) freely; the
cucumbers, and the melons, and the
leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:3
6 But now our soul is dried away:
there is nothing at all, beside this
manna,4 before our eyes.

Burning
2 The mixed multitude mentioned here were
gentiles from Egypt who had joined Israel and
they corrupted Israel with their defilement and
lusts. They were wolves in sheep’s clothing as
we see many such people in churches today
who are only divisive and have no salvation or
concern with it.
3 Many people are still running after food and
paying little attention towards YHWH.
4 Many cannot see the ‘bread’ of YHWH that is
the Torah, the words which reveal eternal life
to us through Yahushua Messiah who is
mentioned in many areas of Torah but the
people want something better than manna.
Yahushua is the whole wheat unleavened
bread and the manna of YHWH that descended
from above, nothing is better than Him.
286
7 And the manna was as coriander
seed, and the colour thereof as the
colour of bdellium.5
8 And the people went about, and
gathered it, and ground it in mills, or
beat it in a mortar, and baked it in
pans, and made cakes of it: and the
taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon the
camp in the night, the manna fell upon
it.
10 Then Musa (Moses) heard the
people weep throughout their
mishpachot (families), every man in
the door of his tent: and the anger of
hwhy was kindled greatly; Musa
(Moses) also was displeased.
11 And Musa (Moses) said unto
hwhy, why have You afflicted your
servant? And why is it that I have not
found favour in your sight, that You
have given me such heavy burden of
all this people?
12 Have I conceived all this people?
Have I begotten them, that You should
say unto me, Carry them in your
bosom, as a nursing father bears the
sucking child, unto the land which You
swore unto their ahvot (fathers)?
13 Where can I get meat to give to all
this people? For they cry to me,
saying, give us meat that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this
people alone, because it is too heavy
for me.
15 And if You deal thus with me, kill
me, I pray you, out of hand, if I have
found favour in your sight; and let me
not see my trouble.
16 And hwhy said unto Musa
5 This was given to them while they were in
Saudi Arabia and they started to complain of
YHWH’s provision and lusted after human
desires.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
(Moses), Gather unto me seventy men
of the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
whom You know to be the elders of
the people, and officers over them;
and bring them unto the tabernacle of
the congregation, that they may stand
there with you.
17 And I will come down and talk
with you there: and I will take of the
Ruach (Spirit) which is upon you, and
will put it upon them; and they shall
bear the burden of the people with
you, that You bear it not yourself
alone.
18 And you speak to the people and
say, set yourselves apart for
tomorrow, and you shall eat meat: for
you have wept in the ears of hwhy,
saying, Who shall give us meat to eat?
For it was well with us in Mitzrayim
(Egypt): therefore hwhy will give you
meat, and you shall eat.
19 You shall not eat one day, nor two
days, nor five days, neither ten days,
nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month, until it
comes out of your nostrils, and it be
hateful to you: because that you have
despised hwhy which is among you,
and have wept before him, saying,
Why did we come out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt)?1
21 And Musa (Moses) said, The
people, among whom I am, are six
hundred thousand footmen; and You

together for them, to satisfy them?
23 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), IS hwhy’s arm too short?
You shall see now whether my word
shall come to meet you or not.
24 And Musa (Moses) went out, and
told the people the words of hwhy,
and gathered the seventy men of the
elders of the people, and set them
roundabout the tabernacle.
25 And hwhy came down in a cloud,
and spoke unto him, and took of the
Ruach (Spirit) that was upon him, and
gave it unto the seventy elders: and it
came to pass, that, when the Ruach
(Spirit) rested upon them, they
prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the
men in the camp, the name of the one
was Eldad, and the name of the other
Medad: and the Ruach (Spirit) rested
upon them; and they were of them that
were written, but went not out unto the
tabernacle: and they prophesied in the
camp.
27 And there ran a young man, and
told Musa (Moses), and said, Eldad
and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 And Yahushua (Joshua) the son
of Nun, the servant of Musa (Moses),
one of his young men, answered and
said, My master Musa (Moses), forbid
them.
29 And Musa (Moses) said unto him,
are you jealous for my sake? Would
Elohim that all hwhy's people were
prophets, and that hwhy would put his
Ruach (Spirit) upon them all!
30 And Musa (Moses) got him into
the camp, he and the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
31 And there went forth a wind from
hwhy, and brought quails from the
sea, and let them fall by the camp, as
it were a day's journey on this side,
and as it were a day's journey on the
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
other side, roundabout the camp, and
as it were two cubits high upon the
face of the land.
32 And the people stood up all that
day, and all that night, and all the next
day, and they gathered the quails: he
that gathered least gathered ten
homers:1 and they spread them all
abroad for themselves roundabout the
camp.
33 And while the meat was yet
between their teeth, before it was
chewed, the wrath of hwhy was
kindled against the people, and hwhy
smote the people with a very great
plague.

place Kibroth-hattaavah:2 because
there they buried the people that
lusted.

abode at Hazeroth.
Chapter 12
1 And Miriam and Aharon spoke
against Musa (Moses) because of the
Cushite woman whom he had married:
for he had married a Cushite woman.3
1 Same as ten donkey loads or two thousand

2 It means ‘graves of lust’ for the place where
they lusted.
3
Moses had three wives in the Patriarchal
model but he only consummated his marriage
with two wives, Yashar 72:37; 72:31-32; 76:4-
6.
Moses never consummated the marriage with
Adoniah because she was pagan, and he knew
Torah well enough not to consummate that
marriage because it was most likely given by
Cushite customs and not Torah. We can see
that this was confirmed later when Adoniah
rebelled against Moses for him not following
288
her and her false idols of worship in Cush. So
Zipporah was really in the scheme of things
number two but albeit became his primary wife
for a season after which he took on another
Cushite woman (this woman) who became
number two. We know that Moses sent off
Zipporah although some think that may be
divorce but scripture disagrees with that, and
would have to say that it was a separation for
a time after which her father Jethro brought
her back. There was tension between the
circumcision of Moses’ son (Exodus 4:25) so
this could have brought on that separation.
By that time clearly Moses has the new wife.
Yes, that is correct; he already had number
two who was the Cushite woman so he was
married to two women at the same time. But,
there is a twist to the tale where Moses could
have already been married to this woman
before he left Egypt.
Now Josephus also records the marriage of
Moses to an Ethiopian woman. Moses was still
in Egypt so this could be the first marriage of
Moses adding to the equation meaning he
could have had three wives in total at different
times. He did not reconcile the marriage with
Adoniah; he married this princess Tharbis
before he left Egypt so she is wife number one
in reality. Then he later married Zipporah
meaning it could be that when he fled from
Egypt, his wife would have gone back to Cush
and later caught up with him. So, it may be
that Zipporah was wife number three in the
scheme of things but actually number two
taking into account, that Adoniah was not
counted as a covenant wife, and at anytime
Moses had two wives. So, when the Cushite
princess rejoined Moses that is when Miriam
and Aharon would have become angry at this
reunion.
We do not hear anything about Tharbis upon
Moses' departure from Egypt. So it would be
second guessing what actually happened, but
our view is she was the one mentioned in
Numbers 12 where YHWH upheld his marriage
to her and did not discard it.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
2 And they said, Has hwhy indeed
spoken only by Musa (Moses)? Has
he not spoken also by us? And hwhy
heard it.
3 (Now the man Musa (Moses) was
very meek, above all the men which
were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And hwhy spoke immediately
with Musa (Moses), and with Aharon,
and to Miriam, Come out you three
into the tabernacle of the
congregation. And they three went.
5 And hwhy came down in the pillar
of the cloud, and stood in the door of
the tabernacle, and called Aharon and
Miriam: and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear now my words:
If there be a prophet among you, I
hwhy will make myself known unto
him in a vision, and will speak unto
him in a dream.
7 My servant Musa (Moses) is not
so, who is faithful in all mine Beyth
(house).
Tharbis was the daughter of the king of the
Cushite people and she happened to see Moses
as he led the army near the walls, and fought
with great courage; and admiring the subtlety
of his undertakings, and believing him to be
the author of the Egyptians' success, she fell
deeply in love with him; and upon the
prevalence of that passion, sent to him the
most faithful of all her servants to discourse
with him about their marriage. He thereupon
accepted the offer, on condition she would
procure the delivering up of the city; and gave
her the assurance of an oath to take her to his
wife; and that when he had once taken
possession of the city, he would not break his
oath to her. No sooner was the agreement
made, but it took effect immediately; and when
Moses had cut off the Cushites he gave thanks
to Elohim and consummated his marriage, and
led the Egyptians back to their own land.

my servant Musa (Moses)?
9 And the anger of hwhy burned hot
against them; and He departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off
the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam
became leprous, white as snow: and
Aharon looked upon Miriam, and,
behold, she was leprous.1
1 There are times when YHWH has chosen his
prophets such as Moses, and other people
YHWH speaks to, who become arrogant in
thinking. Well, we are no less than Moses as
prophets. Here a lesson is taught to Israel.
Moses had a particular mission, and that
mission was not for Aharon and certainly not
for Miriam. This is not to say that he singled
out Miriam because she was a woman, and did
not say anything to Aharon. She was struck
with leprosy, because she was being taught a
lesson, not to usurp authority and slander a
man close to YHWH. The sin of slander is
grievous, but many do it out of contempt for
others and jealousy. Some people would not be
able to enter the kingdom because of this
unrepented sin both against YHWH and the
man or woman they slandered!
We are shown that both Moses and Aharon
were in a position to speak to YHWH, but
YHWH has different levels of relationships with
different people. Verse six makes this very
clear, each person at his own level. Verse
seven shows us that Moses was faithful in all
his house, or ‘trusted’ in the Royal house of the
great King. Sometimes there are people who
stand in the prophet’s position, but they are
not wholly faithful. This was not the picture
YHWH gave of Moses. We know that Aharon
was unfaithful in this regard, as he helped build
the golden calf, falling into the sin of the
‘majority are right view’ or fearful of the
majority. This later caused the Israelites to
commit idolatry.

the land from the desert of Zin unto
Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22 And they ascended by the south,
and came unto Hebron; where
Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the
children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron
was built seven years before Zoan in
Mitzrayim (Egypt)).
23 And they came unto the brook of
Eshcol, and cut down from there a
branch with one cluster of grapes,3
and they bare it between two upon a
staff; and they brought of the
pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 The place was called the brook
Eshcol, because of the cluster of
grapes which the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching
of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to Musa
(Moses), and to Aharon, and to all the
congregation of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), unto the desert of
Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back
word unto them, and unto all the
congregation, and showed them the

11 Thus shall it be done for one
bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb,
or a kid.
12 According to the number that you
shall prepare, so shall you do to every
one according to their number.
13 All that are born of the country
shall do these things after this manner,
in offering an offering made by fire, of
a sweet savour unto hwhy.
14 And if a foreigner sojourn with
you, or whosoever be among you in
your generations, and will offer an
offering made by fire, of a sweet
savour unto hwhy; as you do, so he
shall do.
15 One ordinance shall be both for
you of the congregation, and also for
the foreigner that dwells with you, an
ordinance forever in your generations:
as you are, so shall the foreigner be
before hwhy.
16 One Torah and one manner shall
be for you, and for the foreigner that
dwells with you.1
17 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
18 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
When you come into the land where I
bring you,
19 Then it shall be, that, when you
eat of the lechem (bread) of the land,
you shall offer up a heave offering
unto hwhy.
20 You shall offer up a cake of the
first of your dough for a heave offering:
as you do the heave offering of the
threshing floor, so shall you present it.
1 There is only one Torah for both. It’s not this
is for the Jewish people and that is for us
mentality that the church slumbers in.
296
21 Of the first of your dough you
shall give unto hwhy a contributory
offering in your generations.
22 And if you have erred, and not
observed all these commandments,
which hwhy has spoken unto Musa
(Moses),
23 Even all that hwhy has
commanded you by the hand of Musa
(Moses), from the day that hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses), and
henceforward among your
generations;
24 Then it shall be, if anything be
committed in ignorance outside the
knowledge of the congregation, that all
the congregation shall offer one young
bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet
savour unto hwhy, with his grain
offering, and his drink offering,
according to the manner, and one kid
of the goats for a sin offering.
25 And the kohen (priest) shall make
atonement for all the congregation of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
it shall be forgiven them; for it is
ignorance: and they shall bring their
offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto
hwhy, and their sin offering before
hwhy, for their ignorance:
26 And it shall be forgiven all the
congregation of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and the foreigner
that dwells among them; seeing all the
people were in ignorance.
27 And if anyone sin through
ignorance, then he shall bring a
female goat of the first year for a sin
offering.
28 And the kohen (priest) shall make
atonement for the soul that sins
ignorantly, when he sins by ignorance2

needed YHWH’s grace.

before hwhy, to make atonement for
him; and it shall be forgiven him.
29 You shall have one Torah for him
that sins through ignorance, both for
him that is born among the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and for the
foreigner that lives among them.
30 But the person that commits sins
deliberately,1 whether he be born in
the land, or a foreigner, the same
insults hwhy; and that person must be
cut off from among his people.
31 Because he has despised the
word of hwhy, and has broken his
commandment, that soul shall utterly
be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon
him.2
32 And while the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) were in the desert,
they found a man that gathered sticks
upon the Sabbath day.
33 And they that found him gathering
sticks brought him unto Musa (Moses)
and Aharon, and unto all the
congregation.
34 And they put him in ward,
because it was not declared what
should be done to him.
35 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), The man shall be surely put
to death: all the congregation shall
stone him with stones outside the
camp.3
36 And all the congregation brought
him outside the camp, and stoned him
with stones, and he died; as hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses).

death and still is unless you are blood washed
by the Messiah.

There is no sacrifice for deliberate sin.
3 Sin was expunged outside the camp. Not
keeping the Sabbath was and still is a sin.
297
37 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
38 Speak unto the sons of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and command them that they
make tzitzits4 in the four corners of
4 Tzitzits is a commandment for all the sons of
Israel to wear today not just Jewish Israel and
also Christians, who say they believe in the
Messiah of Israel. The Hebrew term ‘bnai
Israel,’ is more accurately translated, ‘sons of
Israel,’ not children, because the word ‘bnai’
has the Hebrew root ‘ben,’ which means son.
The sons are responsible for building up their
households, so the tzitzits only really apply to
sons not daughters.
In fact, we do not find women wearing tzitzits
in the first century, and this fact is well
understood in Judaism. Messianics do not
understand that only the sons of Israel are
commanded to wear them.
The daughters in Israel are never counted
separately. If we as sons are commanded to
wear any symbol to represent YHWH then this
was the tzitzit. Today many run around
wearing crosses, chamsa’s and Torah scrolls,
while the other paraphernalia was never
commanded. The cross is a well known pagan
symbol of Tammuz in Babylon. The only people
who do not seem to know this fact are
unfortunately the Christians! The chamsa,
symbol of a hand, which some people like to
wear, is of pagan origin too. The Shia Muslims
have it on their flag too. The fish symbol that
Christians display on their cars is also part of
Dagon the false deity of the Philistines. By
using the symbol of the tzitzits, we also acquire
understanding about the Two Houses of Israel
that would be dispersed to the four corners of
the world. The four corners on the garment as
the four compass points, North, South, East
and West. They show us the dispersion of
Israel did indeed occur. The garment is the
drash for the world. We also get the name of
YHWH from the Hebrew gametria as ‘YHWH
Deuteronomy 6:4. These tzitzits also give us
the understanding of the 613 commandments
in the Torah.

generations, and that they put upon

all my commandments,2 and be set-

Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab,

in the congregation, men of renown:
3 And they gathered themselves
together against Musa (Moses) and
against Aharon, and said unto them,
You take too much upon you, seeing
all the congregation are set-apart,
every one of them, and hwhy is
among them: wherefore then lift you
up yourselves above the congregation
of hwhy?
4 And when Musa (Moses) heard it,
he fell upon his face:
5 And he spoke unto Korah and unto
all his company, saying, Even
tomorrow hwhy will show who are His,
and who is set-apart; and will cause
him to come near unto him: even him
whom he has chosen will he cause to
come near unto Him.
6 This do take you censers, Korah,
and all his company;
7 And put fire therein, and put
incense in them before hwhy
tomorrow: and it shall be that the man
whom hwhy will choose, he shall be
set-apart: you take too much upon
you, you sons of Lewi.
8 And Musa (Moses) said unto
Korah, Hear, I pray you, you sons of
Lewi:
9 It might seem a small thing to you,
that the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
has separated you from the
congregation of Yah’sar’el (Israel), to
bring you near to himself to do the
service of the tabernacle of hwhy, and
to stand before the congregation to
minister unto them.
10 And he has brought you near to
face a prophet of YHWH, else you may not live
to tell the tale as Korah learned the hard way.
Korah, means bald, having no covering. These
people sadly showed their true colours, they
were bald with no covering spiritually speaking.

him, and all your brethren the sons of
Lewi with you: and yet you seek the
priesthood also?
11 For which cause both You and all
your company are gathered together
against hwhy and what is Aharon, that
you murmur against him?
12 And Musa (Moses) sent to call
Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab:
which said, we will not come up:
13 Is it a small thing that You hast
brought us up out of a land that flows
with milk and honey, to kill us in the
desert, except You make yourself
altogether a prince over us?
14 Moreover You have not brought
us into a land that flows with milk and
honey1, or given us inheritance of
fields and vineyards: will You now put
out the eyes2 of these men?
We will not come up.
15 And Musa (Moses) was very
angry, and said unto hwhy, Respect
not their offering: I have not taken one
ass from them, neither have I hurt one
of them.
16 And Musa (Moses) said unto
Korah, Be You and all your company
before hwhy, You, and they, and
Aharon, tomorrow:
17 And take every man his censer,
1 They accused Moses of lying. Well, actually
the accusation is not against Moses but YHWH.
When you accuse His prophets you accuse Him
directly. This behaviour is shameful and even
occurs today amongst many alleged Torah
people and non-Torah Christianity.
2 Accusing Moses of plucking the eyes out is to
say removing someone’s faith because the
eyes everyone sees and the reference here is
that the faith of these people, went only as far
as miracles go. When the miracles stopped
their faith stopped. While faith should be based
on the trust we have in YHWH which Yahushua
our Messiah taught us.
299
and put incense in them, and bring it
before hwhy every man and his
censer, two hundred and fifty
censers;3 You also, and Aharon, each
of you his censer.
18 And they took every man his
censer, and put fire in them, and laid
incense thereon, and stood in the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation
with Musa (Moses) and Aharon.
19 And Korah gathered all the
congregation against4 them unto the
door of the tabernacle of the
congregation: and the glory of hwhy
appeared unto all the congregation.
20 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and unto Aharon, saying,
21 Separate yourselves from among
this congregation, that I may consume
them in a moment.
22 And they fell upon their faces, and
said, O El (The Power), the Elohim of
the ruachot (spirits) of all flesh, shall
one man sin, and will You be wroth
with all the congregation?
23 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
24 Speak unto the congregation,
saying, move away from the tents of
Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
25 And Musa (Moses) rose up and
went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the
elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel) followed
him.
26 And he spoke unto the
congregation, saying, Depart, I pray
you, from the tents of these wicked
men, and touch nothing of their's, lest

27 So they got up from the tents of
Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on all
sides: and Dathan and Abiram came
out, and stood in the door of their
tents, and their wives, and their sons,
and their little children.
28 And Musa (Moses) said, Hereby
you shall know that hwhy has sent me
to do all these works; for I have not
done them of mine own mind.2
29 If these men die the common
death of all men, or if they be visited
after the visitation of all men; then
hwhy has not sent me.
30 But if hwhy make a new thing,
and the earth opens her mouth, and
swallow them up, with all that
appertain unto them, and they go
down quick into She’ol3; then you shall
understand that these men have
provoked hwhy.
31 And it came to pass, as he had
made an end of speaking all these
words, that the ground opened that
was under them:
32 And the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed them up, and their
Batiym (houses), and all the men that
pertained unto Korah, and all their

them, went down alive into She’ol5,
and the earth closed upon them: and
they perished from among the
congregation.
34 And all Yah’sar’el (Israel) that
were round about them fled at the cry
of them: for they said, lest the earth
swallow us up also.
35 And there came out a fire from
hwhy, and consumed the two hundred
and fifty men that offered incense.6
36 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
37 Speak unto El’ezar the son of
Aharon the kohen (priest), that he take
up the censers out of the burning, and
scatter the fire some distance away;
for they are set-apart.
38 The censers of these sinners
against their own souls, let them make
them broad plates for a covering of the
altar: for they7 offered them before
hwhy, therefore they are set-apart:
and they shall be a sign unto the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
39 And El’ezar the kohen (priest)
took the brazen censers, wherewith
they that were burnt had offered; and
they were made broad plates for a
covering of the altar:
40 To be a remembrance unto the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), that no
foreigner, which is not of the seed of
Aharon, come near to offer incense
before hwhy; that he be not as

Korah,1 and as his company: as hwhy
said to him by the hand of Musa
(Moses).
41 But tomorrow all the congregation
of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
murmured against Musa (Moses) and
against Aharon, saying, You have
killed the people of hwhy.2
42 And it came to pass, when the
congregation was gathered against
Musa (Moses) and against Aharon,
that they looked toward the tabernacle
of the congregation: and, behold, the
cloud covered it, and the glory of hwhy
appeared.
43 And Musa (Moses) and Aharon
came before the tabernacle of the
congregation.
44 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
45 Get away from among this
congregation, that I may consume
them as in a moment. And they fell
upon their faces.
46 And Musa (Moses) said unto
Aharon, Take a censer, and put fire
therein from off the altar, and put on
incense, and go quickly unto the
congregation, and make atonement for
1 Bald and without spiritual covering, that is
how some people live their lives.
2 These Israelites did not yet understand
reality and were still deceived by those that
had died. The dead were not the people of
YHWH but were spiritually deceived and
deceiving others. ‘Anybody who hates YHWH’s
prophets and hate His Torah are not YHWH’s
people by definition of Torah, as they are
considered rebellious.’ If someone claims to be
a prophet of YHWH but does not know His
name or calls Him, the title for Baal such as the
‘Lord,’ such a person cannot be considered His
prophet as all of YHWH’s prophets knew Him
by name.

them: for there is wrath gone out from
hwhy; the plague is begun.
47 And Aharon took as Musa
(Moses) commanded, and ran into the
midst of the congregation; and,
behold, the plague was begun among
the people: and he put on incense,
and made atonement for the people.
48 And he stood between the dead
and the living; and the plague was
stayed.
49 Now they that died in the plague
were fourteen thousand and seven
hundred, beside them that died about
the matter of Korah.
50 And Aharon returned unto Musa
(Moses) unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation: and
the plague was stayed.
Chapter 17
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and take of every
one of them a rod according to the
Beyth (house) of their ahvot (fathers),
of all their princes according to the
Beyth (house) of their ahvot (fathers)
twelve rods: You write every man's
name upon his rod.
3 And You shall write Aharon's name
upon the rod of Lewi: for one rod shall
be for the head of the Beyth (house) of
their ahvot (fathers).
4 And You shall lay them up in the
tabernacle of the congregation before
the testimony, where I will meet with
you.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the
man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall
blossom: and I will make to cease
from me the murmurings of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), whereby
they murmur against you.
6 And Musa (Moses) spoke unto the
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
each of their princes gave him a rod,
one for each prince, according to their
ahvot (fathers) houses, even twelve
rods: and the rod of Aharon was
among their rods.
7 And Musa (Moses) laid up the rods
before hwhy in the tabernacle of
witness.
8 And it came to pass, that on the
next day when Musa (Moses) went
into the tabernacle of witness; and,
behold, the rod of Aharon for the
Beyth (house) of Lewi was budded,
and brought forth buds, and bloomed
blossoms, and yielded almonds.1
9 And Musa (Moses) brought out all
the rods from before hwhy unto all the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): and they
looked, and every man took his rod.
10 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), Bring Aharon's rod again
before the testimony, to be kept for a
sign against the rebels;2 and that You
shall put away their murmurings from
me, that they do not die.
11 And Musa (Moses) did so: as
hwhy commanded him, so did he.
12 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) spoke unto Musa (Moses),
saying, behold, we will die, we will
perish, we all perish.
13 Whosoever comes anywhere near
the tabernacle of hwhy shall die: shall
we be consumed with death?
1 This rod was passed down from Ahdahm and
was taken from the tree of life which was an
almond tree hence why we see Almonds on it.
2This was to show who is on YHWH’s side and
who isn’t.

Chapter 18
1 And hwhy said unto Aharon, You
and your sons and your father's Beyth
(house) with you shall be responsible
for any desecration of the sanctuary:
and You and your sons with you will
be held responsible for any
impropriety in your priestly work.
2 And your brethren also of the tribe
of Lewi, the tribe of your father, bring
You with you, that they may be joined
unto you, and minister unto you: but
You and your sons with you shall
minister before the tabernacle of
witness.
3 And they shall keep your charge,
and the charge of all the tabernacle:
only they shall not come near the
vessels of the sanctuary and the altar,
that neither they, nor you also, die.
4 And they shall be joined unto you,
and keep the charge of the tabernacle
of the congregation, for all the service
of the tabernacle: and a foreigner shall
not come near unto you.
5 And you shall keep the charge of
the sanctuary, and the charge of the
altar: that there be no wrath any more
upon the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
6 And I, behold, I have taken your
brethren the Lewites from among the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): to you
they are given as a gift3 from hwhy, to
do the service of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
7 Therefore You and your sons with
you shall keep your kohen’s (priest)
office for everything of the altar, and
within the veil; and you shall serve: I
have given you the kohen's (priest)
office unto you as a gift for service and

wherever they will be they will serve YHWH
and His people with Torah truths.

the foreigner that comes near shall be
put to death.
8 And hwhy spoke unto Aharon,
Behold, I also have given you the
charge of mine love offerings of all the
set-apart things of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); unto you have I
given them by reason of the anointing,
and to your sons, by an ordinance
forever.
9 This shall be your for the most set-
apart things, reserved from the fire:
every offering of their's, every grain
offering of their's, and every sin
offering of their's, and every trespass
offering of their's, which they shall
render unto me, shall be most set-
apart for you and for your sons.
10 In the most set-apart place, You
shall eat it; every male shall eat it, this
shall be set-apart unto you.
11 And this is yours; the love offering
of their grain, with all the wave
offerings of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): I have given them unto you,
and to your sons and to your
daughters with you, by a statute
forever: everyone that is ritually pure1
in your Beyth (house) shall eat of it.
12 All the best of the oil, and all the
best of the wine, and of the wheat, the
first-fruits of them which they shall
offer unto hwhy, them have I given
you.
13 And whatsoever is first ripe in the
land, which they shall bring unto
hwhy, shall be yours; everyone that is
clean in your Beyth (house) shall eat
of it.
14 Everything devoted in Yah’sar’el
1 The idea here is that you are not unclean or
defiled by unclean things such as dead bodies,
grave yards, sexually unclean etc so it is talking
about ritually pure things.
303
(Israel) shall be yours.
15 Everything that opens the womb
in all flesh, which they bring unto
hwhy, whether it be of men or beasts,
shall be yours: nevertheless the
bechor (firstborn) of man You shall
redeem, and the bechor (firstborn) of
unclean animals2 You shall redeem.
16 And those that are to be
redeemed from a month old shall You
redeem, according to your estimation,
for the money of five shekels, after the
shekel of the sanctuary, which is
twenty gerahs.
17 But the bechor (firstborn) of a
cow, or the bechor (firstborn) of a
sheep, or the bechor (firstborn) of a
goat, You shall not redeem; they are
set-apart: You shall sprinkle their
blood upon the altar, and shall burn
their fat for an offering made by fire,
for a sweet savour unto hwhy.
18 And the flesh of them shall be
yours, as the wave breast and as the
right thigh are yours.
19 All the love offerings of the set-
apart things, which the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) offer unto hwhy,
have I given you, and your sons and
your daughters with you, by a statute
forever: it is a covenant of salt3 forever
2This law applies to unclean animals such as
people owning horses and donkey’s e.g. the
mare giving birth to young ones.
3 The salt is used to preserve food and the salt
can act as a chemical in other uses such as
when it snows a lot you can throw it on the
ground and in freezing cold temperatures it can
melt the ice quicker.
A newborn baby is also washed in salt to
remove and kill the bacteria. So here the usage
of the salt is important as it was used in
sacrifices. Salt is for us to know that YHWH’s
covenants are preserved and forever.

before hwhy unto you and to your
descendants with you.
20 And hwhy spoke unto Aharon,
You shall have no inheritance in their
land, neither shall You have any part
among them: I am your part and your
inheritance among the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
21 And, behold, I have given the
children of Lewi all the tenth in
Yah’sar’el (Israel) for an inheritance,
for their service which they serve,
even the service of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
22 Neither must the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) henceforth come
near the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest they bear sin, and
die.
23 But the Lewites shall do the
service of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and they shall bear their
iniquity: it shall be a statute forever
throughout your generations, that
among the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) they have no inheritance.
24 But the tithes of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), which they offer as
a heave offering unto hwhy, I have
given to the Lewites to inherit:
therefore I have said unto them,
Among the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) they shall have no inheritance.
25 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
26 Thus speak unto the Lewites, and
say unto them, when you take of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) the tithes
which I have given you from them for
your inheritance, then you shall offer
up for a love offering of it for hwhy,
even a tenth part of the tithe.
27 And your love offering shall be
reckoned unto you, as though it were
the corn of the threshing floor, and as
the fullness of the winepress.
304
28 Thus you also shall offer a love
offering unto hwhy of all your tithes,
which you receive of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); and you shall give
thereof hwhy's love offering to Aharon
the kohen (priest).
29 Out of all your gifts you shall offer
every heave offering of hwhy, of all
the best thereof, even the set-apart
part thereof out of it.
30 Therefore You shall say unto
them, When you have heaved the best
thereof from it, then it shall be counted
unto the Lewites as the increase of the
threshing floor, and as the increase of
the winepress.
31 And you shall eat it in every place,
you and your households: for it is your
reward for your service in the
tabernacle of the congregation.
32 And you shall bear no sin by
reason of it, when you have heaved
from it the best of it: neither shall you
pollute the set-apart things of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), lest you
die.

1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and unto Aharon, saying,
2 This is the ordinance of the Torah
which hwhy has commanded, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), that they bring you a red
heifer1 without spot, wherein there is
1Yahushua was the drash (allegorical) red
heifer. He was to be taken just as the red
heifer was taken outside the camp and
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
no blemish, and has never been
yoked.
3 And you shall give her unto El’ezar
the kohen (priest), that he may bring
her forth outside the camp, and one
shall slaughter her before his face:
4 And El’ezar the kohen (priest) shall
take of her blood1 with his finger, and
sprinkle of her blood directly before
the tabernacle of the congregation
seven times:
5 And one shall burn the heifer in his
sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her
blood, with her excrement, shall he
burn:
6 And the kohen (priest) shall take
cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet,
and cast it into the midst of the burning
of the heifer.
7 Then the kohen (priest) shall wash
his clothes, and he shall bathe his
flesh in mayim (water), and afterward
he shall come into the camp, and the
kohen (priest) shall be unclean2 until
the evening.
8 And he that burns her shall wash
his clothes in mayim (water), and
bathe his flesh in mayim (water), and
shall be unclean until the evening.
9 And a man that is clean shall
gather up the ashes of the heifer, and
sacrificed. Yahushua was sacrificed outside the
camp on the Mount of Olives. Hebrews 13:12
1 Note, the red heifer is a ‘she’ and not ‘he,’
yet, it fits the perfect picture of the Messiah
Yahushua. We cannot expand here due to the
length of this teaching.
2
Extraordinary sacrifice in which the Kohen
became unclean. Yahushua became unclean by
being touched by lepers, while the lepers
became clean (Matt 8:2). Similarly, the Red
Heifer and its ash cleansed the most severe
form of sins, but the person doing the sacrifice,
and the one gathering the ash, became
unclean.
305
lay them up outside the camp in a
clean place, and it shall be kept for the
congregation of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) for a mayim (water)
of separation: it is for the purification
for sin.
10 And he that gathers the ashes of
the heifer shall wash his clothes, and
be unclean until the evening: and it
shall be unto the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and unto the foreigner that
lives among them, for a statute
forever.
11 He that touches the dead body of
any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 He shall purify himself with it on
the third day, and on the seventh day
he shall be clean: but if he does not
purify himself the third day, then the
seventh day he shall not be clean.
13 Whosoever touches the dead
body of any man that is dead, and
does not purifies himself, defiles the
tabernacle of hwhy; and that soul shall
be cut off from Yah’sar’el (Israel):
because the mayim (water) of
separation was not sprinkled upon
him, he shall be unclean; his
uncleanness is still upon him.
14 This is the Torah, when a man
dies in a tent: all that come into the
tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be
unclean seven days.
15 And every open vessel, which has
no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
16 And whosoever touches one that
is slain with a sword in the open fields,
or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or
a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 And for an unclean person they
shall take of the ashes of the burnt
heifer of purification for sin, and
running mayim (water) shall be put
into a vessel:
18 And a clean person shall take
hyssop, and dip it in the mayim
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
(water), and sprinkle it upon the tent,
and upon all the vessels, and upon the
persons that were there, and upon him
that touched a bone, or one slain, or
one dead, or a grave:
19 And the clean person shall
sprinkle upon the unclean on the third
day, and on the seventh day: and on
the seventh day he shall purify
himself, and wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in mayim (water), and
shall be clean at evening.
20 But the man that shall be unclean,
and shall not purify himself, that soul
shall be cut off from among the
congregation, because he has defiled
the sanctuary of hwhy: the mayim
(water) of separation has not been
sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
21 And it shall be an everlasting
statute unto them, that he that
sprinkles the mayim (water) of
separation shall wash his clothes; and
he that touches the mayim (water) of
separation shall be unclean until even.
22 And whatsoever the unclean
person touches shall be unclean; and
the soul that touches it shall be
unclean until evening.
Chapter 20
1 Then came the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), even the whole
congregation, into the desert of Zin1 in
the first month: and the people abode
in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and
was buried there.
2 And there was no mayim (water)
for the congregation: and they
gathered themselves together against
Musa (Moses) and against Aharon.
3 And the people contended with
Musa (Moses), and spoke, saying, if
1 Saudi Arabia
306
only would Elohim had killed us too
when our brethren died before hwhy?
4 And why have you brought up the
congregation of hwhy into this desert,
that we and our cattle should die there
instead?
5 And why have you made us to
come up out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), to
bring us in unto this evil place? It is not
a place of seed, or of figs, or of vines,
or of pomegranates; neither is there
any mayim (water) to drink.
6 And Musa (Moses) and Aharon
went from the presence of the
assembly unto the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and
they fell upon their faces: and the glory
of hwhy appeared unto them.
7 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
8 Take the rod, and you gather the
assembly together, You, and Aharon
your brother, and declare my word
upon the rock2 before their eyes; and it
shall give forth mayim (water), and
You shall bring forth to them mayim
(water) out of the rock: so You shall
give the congregation and their beasts
drink.
9 And Musa (Moses) took the rod
from before hwhy as he commanded
2 We can use our speech with the power of
YHWH behind us to glorify YHWH in many
places of the world, declaring His word brings
life to the dead and healing to the sick. Moses
was about to declare the glory of YHWH
through a rock and the rock giving water is an
incredible miracle of itself. However, it shows
us something greater that the rock being an
inanimate object, but in reality our Rock is
Messiah Yahushua, who is YHWH. Moses was
not asked to generate a conversation with the
rock, as some may think from the text. He was
asked to declare the word of YHWH, upon the
rock, and so he did.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
him.
10 And Musa (Moses) and Aharon
gathered the congregation together
before the rock, and he said unto
them, hear now, you rebels; should we
now bring you mayim (water) out of
this rock?
11 And Musa (Moses) lifted up his
hand, and with his rod he struck the
rock twice1: and the mayim (water)
came out abundantly, and the
congregation drank, and their beasts
also.
12 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and Aharon, because you
believed me not, to set me apart in the
eyes of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), therefore you shall not bring
this congregation into the land which I
have given them.
13 This is the mayim (water) of
Meribah;2 because the children of
1 Moses should have struck the rock only once
but by striking it twice that displeased YHWH.
2 The Hebrew word ‘Meribah’ means Strife.
This was a future prophetic picture of Saudi
Arabia, an evil place from where a large world
religion was to arise and it would cause strife in
the world and bitterness. Today many people
are divided over the Muslim nations, while
some Muslims take up the Jihad doctrine and
fight the east and the west and bring chaos
and disorder and bitterness into many families’
lives.
‘Islam came out of the country of Saudi Arabia,
and it has in the past and it is even today
causing much bitterness.’
This is what this prophecy was telling us if we
have eyes to see it while many of us are still
walking in the imagination of our hearts. We
need to repent and turn to YHWH for His
sweetness that He offers through His Son
Yahushua the Messiah.
307
Yah’sar’el (Israel) contended3 with
hwhy and he was sanctified in them.
14 And Musa (Moses) sent
messengers from Kadesh unto the
king of Edom, Thus says your brother
Yah’sar’el (Israel), You know all the
travail that has befallen us:
15 How our ahvot (fathers) went
down into Mitzrayim (Egypt), and we
have dwelt in Mitzrayim (Egypt) a long
time; and the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
vexed us, and our ahvot (fathers):
16 And when we cried unto hwhy he
heard our voice, and sent his Malakh,4
and has brought us forth out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt): and, behold, we are
in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your
border:
17 Let us pass, I pray you, through
your country: we will not pass through
the fields, or through the vineyards,
neither will we drink of the mayim
(water) of the wells: we will go by the
king's high way, we will not turn to the
right hand nor to the left, until we have
passed your borders.
18 And Edom said unto him, you
shall not pass by me, lest I come out
against you with the sword.
19 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) said unto him, we will go by
the high way: and if I or my livestock
drink any of your mayim (water), then I
will pay for it: let me only pass through
on foot and nothing else.
3 Israel contended and this is a remez (hint)
that many families will contend with their
children. The model of the father and son
where, contention of leaving your own true
faith in Messiah to the false one of Islam will
be real and a bitter one for many. This will be
part of the great apostasy in the last days. It’s
happening as we speak.
4 Messiah Yahushua in angelic form.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
20 And he said you shall not go
through. And Edom came out against
him with much people, and with a
strong hand.
21 Thus Edom refused to give
Yah’sar’el (Israel) passage through his
border: wherefore Yah’sar’el (Israel)
turned away from him.
22 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), even the whole congregation,
journeyed from Kadesh, and came
unto Mount Hor.
23 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) and Aharon in Mount Hor, by
the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
24 Aharon shall be gathered unto his
people: for he shall not enter into the
land which I have given unto the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), because
you rebelled against my word at the
mayim (water) of Meribah.1
25 Take Aharon and El’ezar his son,
and bring them up unto Mount Hor:
26 And remove Aharon clothes, and
put them upon El’ezar his son: and
Aharon shall be gathered unto his
people, and he shall die there.
27 And Musa (Moses) did as hwhy
commanded: and they went up into
Mount Hor in the sight of all the
congregation.
28 And Musa (Moses) took Aharon
clothes off, and put them upon El’ezar
his son; and Aharon died there in the
top of the Mount: and Musa (Moses)
and El’ezar came down from the
Mount.
29 And when all the congregation
saw that Aharon was dead, they
1 There is always a cost for sin even if YHWH
forgives us, and we have to bear the
consequences as we see here by those closest
to YHWH.

mourned for Aharon thirty days,2 even
all the Beyth (house) of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
Chapter 21
1 And when king Arad the Canaanite,
who dwelt in the south, heard that
Yah’sar’el (Israel) came by the way of
the spies; then he fought against
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and took some of
them prisoners.
2 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) vowed a
vow unto hwhy, and said, If You will
indeed deliver this people into my
hand, then I will utterly destroy their
cities.
3 And hwhy listened to the voice of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and delivered up
the Canaanites; and they utterly
destroyed them and their cities: and
he called the name of the place
Hormah.3
4 And they journeyed from Mount
Hor by the way of the Sea of Reeds, to
compass the land of Edom: and the
souls of the people became impatient
because of the journey.
5 And the people contended against
Elohim, and against Musa (Moses),
why have You brought us up out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) to die in the desert?
For there is no lechem (bread), neither
is there any mayim (water); and our
soul hates this worthless food.4
6 And hwhy sent poisonous snakes
2 The custom was to mourn for 30 days.
3 It was called Zephath before this.
4 The Hebrew word ‘Qiloqel’ meaning ‘good for
nothing’ and ‘lechem’ meaning food in general,
they complained against Manna as light and
not of substance and chewy like the meat.
They despised the angel’s food sent by YHWH
and wanted earthly substance.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
among the people, and they bit the
people; and many people of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) died.
7 Therefore the people came to
Musa (Moses), and said, we have
sinned, for we have contended against
hwhy, and against you; pray unto
hwhy, that he may take away the
serpents from us. And Musa (Moses)
prayed for the people.
8 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), You make a bronze snake,
and set it upon a pole: and it shall
come to pass, that everyone that is
bitten, when he looks upon it, shall
have life1.
9 And Musa (Moses) made a serpent
of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it
came to pass, that if a serpent had
bitten any man, when he looked upon
the serpent of bronze2, he lived.
10 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) set forward, and pitched in
Oboth.
11 And they journeyed from Oboth,
and pitched at Iye-ha barim, in the
desert which is before Moab, toward
the sun rising.
12 From there they moved, and
pitched in the valley of Zared.
1 The healing was by faith and it showed the
drash of the King Messiah to come who would
heal His people by faith. Messiah Yahushua
would be hung on a tree (Acts 5:30). The
bronze serpent was hung from a pole, while
anyone who looked at Yahushua and believed,
on His words would receive eternal life. There
were no formulas.
2 Bronze represented judgment, and looking
on the serpent was the future depiction of
Messiah, who gave healing by faith with our
repentance giving us eternal life. This is one of
the place where Moses wrote about the
Messiah and the Messiah quoted this scripture,
where Moses wrote about Him, (John 5:46).
309
13 From there they moved again,
and pitched on the other side of
Arnon, which is in the desert that
comes out of the coasts of the
Amorites: for Arnon is the border of
Moab, between Moab and the
Amorites.
14 Wherefore it is said in the scrolls3
of the wars of hwhy, what he did in the
Waheb at supha the wadi4 of Arnon,
15 And at the stream of the brooks
that goes down to the dwelling of Ar,
and lies upon the border of Moab.
16 And from there they went to Beer:
that is the well whereof hwhy spoke
unto Musa (Moses), Gather the people
together, and I will give them mayim
(water).
17 Then Yah’sar’el (Israel) sang this
song, Spring up, O well; We sing unto
it:
18 The princes dug the well, the
nobles of the people digged it, by the
direction of the Torah-giver, with their
staves. And from the desert they went
to Mattanah:
19 And from Mattanah to Nahali’el:
and from Nahali’el to Bamoth:
20 And from Bamoth in the valley,
that is in the country of Moab, to the
top of Pisgah, which looks toward
Yeshimon.
21 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) sent
messengers unto Sihon king of the
Amorites, saying,
22 Let me pass through your land:
we will not turn into the fields, or into
the vineyards; we will not drink of the
mayim (water) of the well: but we will
go along by the king's high way, until
we be pass your borders.

4 Stream of water.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
23 And Sihon would not allow
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to pass through his
borders: but Sihon gathered all his
people together, and went out against
Yah’sar’el (Israel) into the desert: and
he came to Yahaz, and fought against
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
24 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) killed him
with the edge of the sword, and
captured his land from Arnon unto
Yabbok,1 even unto the children of
Ammon: for the border of the children
of Ammon was strong.
25 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) took all
these cities: and Yah’sar’el (Israel)
dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites,
in Heshbon, and in all the villages
there after.
26 For Heshbon was the city of
Sihon the king of the Amorites, who
had fought against the former king of
Moab, and taken all his land out of his
hand, even unto Arnon.
27 Wherefore they that speak in
proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let
the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
28 For there is a fire gone out of
Heshbon, a flame from the city of
Sihon: it has consumed Ar of Moab,
and the masters of the high places of
Arnon.
29 Woe to you, Moab! You are
undone, O people of Chemosh:2 he
has given his sons that escaped, and
his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon
king of the Amorites.
30 We have shot at them; Heshbon
is perished even unto Dibon, and we
have laid them waste even unto
Nophah, which reaches unto Medeva.

31 Thus Yah’sar’el (Israel) dwelt in
the land of the Amorites.
32 And Musa (Moses) sent to spy out
Yaazer, and they took all the villages
there and drove out the Amorites that
were there.
33 And they turned and went up by
the way of Bashan and Og3 the king of
Bashan went out against them, him
and all his people to the battle at
Edrei.
34 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), Fear him not: for I have
delivered him into your hand, and all
his people, and his land; and You shall
do to him as You did unto Sihon king
of the Amorites, which dwelt at
Heshbon.
35 So they killed him, and his sons,
and all his people, until there was
none left alive: and they possessed his
land.
3 He was last of the giants ruling a province of
Arabia, (note the region of Arabia was much
larger than today) his bed measured thirteen
and a half feet by six feet wide (Deut 3:11).
There is a hint here to the religion of Islam a
giant religion in stature rising out and
spreading to the whole world. Islam will
obstruct the children of Israel, both Christians
and the Jewish people who will have to fight it
in these coming last days. With the help of
YHWH it will be brought low but Islam will not
be eradicated completely in the first millennium
as Muslim nations will go up to the three great
feasts to Jerusalem, Zechariah 14:16. The city
Edrei was the place where when Jewish people
were driven out of Medina in Saudi Arabia
came and settled, at that time the city was
called ‘Adra'at by the Arabs. Jerome confirms
this was a famous city of the Arabs at one time
time it was called Adara (De locis Heb. fol. 87.
I & 92. M). This should explain why YHWH cast
judgment on Mount Seir in Ezekiel 35:2.

attitudes towards the Jewish people. Many
believers in the 1st century assemblies also
practiced polygamy which was spoken of and
written by the anti-Semitic writers such as

land Amaw, 3 to call him, saying,
Behold, there is a people come out
from Mitzrayim (Egypt): behold, they
cover the face of the land, and they
abide over against me:
6 Come now therefore, I pray you,
curse me this people; for they are too
mighty for me: perhaps I will prevail,
that we may slay them, and that I may
drive them out of the land: for I know
that he whom You bless is blessed,
and he whom You curse is cursed.
7 And the elders of Moab and the
elders of Midian departed with the fee
of divination in their hand; and they
came unto Balaam, 4 and spoke unto
him the words of Balak.
8 And he said unto them, Lodge here
this night, and I will bring you word
again, as hwhy shall speak unto me:
and the princes of Moab abode with
Balaam.5
9 And Elohim came unto Balaam,
and said, What men are these with
3Some translations render this, ‘Sons of his
people.’
4 They came with money to persuade him to
curse Israel. This was Balaam’s fatal flaw, he
was a seer but a false prophet as are many in
churches, which may converse with YHWH but
have no real relationship. He asked them to
stay the night so he could take the money and
curse Israel.
5 The word ‘Balaam,’ has the meaning, the
people of ‘Bel,’ this is a false deity spoken of in
Jeremiah 50:2 and Isaiah 46.1. So this man
was a kind of double agent who worked for
money and would be a prophet for hire for
anyone who needed him. This man is the
picture of the ecumenical church today that
would feed Israel to the dogs (gentiles) for
money and give their land to the Muslim
radicals for peace.

you?1
10 And Balaam said unto Elohim,
Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab,
has sent unto me, saying,
11 Behold, there is a people come
out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), which covers
the face of the land:2 come now, curse
me them; perhaps I shall be able to
conquer them, and drive them out.
12 And Elohim said unto Balaam,
You shall not go with them; You shall
not curse the people: for they are
blessed.3
13 And Balaam rose up in the
morning, and said unto the princes of
Balak, go back into your land: for
hwhy refused4 to give me permission
to go with you.
14 And the princes of Moab rose up,
and they went unto Balak, and said,
Balaam refused to come with us.
15 And Balak sent yet again princes,
1 YHWH plays with Balaam as He knows the
heart of Balaam is full of greed and selfishness.
2 5 Balak thought Balaam needed more money.
Balaam is foolish as he knew that they were
Israelites and it was YHWH bringing them out.
While he was present there in Egypt and saw
all the signs, here he pretends like he is not
sure.
3 YHWH told Balaam, Israel is blessed by the
covenants set with the Patriarchs and they
could not be cursed. Even if Balaam had
succeeded in cursing other people he was not
to prevail against Israel. The word blessed here
means ‘protected’ ‘enriched,’ ‘saved’ both
materially, physically and spiritually from all
things. The Rabbis discuss this. So we see here
Balaam asking YHWH can I bless them also.
YHWH said NO, they do not need your blessing
you two faced man, for My blessing is enough.
4 Balaam reluctantly got up and says YHWH
refused it while it was in his own heart to curse
Israel some way. He was crafty and had
thought to circumvent the blessing another
way but was asking the king for more money.
312
more, and more honourable than they.
16 And they came to Balaam, and
said to him, Thus says Balak the son
of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray you,
hinder you from coming unto me:5
17 For I will promote you unto very
great honour,6 and I will do
whatsoever You say unto me: come
therefore, I pray you, curse me this
people.
18 And Balaam answered and said
unto the servants of Balak, If Balak
would give me his Beyth (house) full of
silver and gold,7 I cannot go beyond
the word of hwhy my Elohim,8 to do
less or more.
19 Now therefore, I pray you, stay
here also this night,9 that I may know
what hwhy will say unto me more.
20 And the Word10 from Elohim
came unto Balaam at night, and said
unto him, If the men come to call you,
He was partly right, as Balaam was looking for
a pretext and more money and we will see the
money will do the trick but he acted foolishly.
6He offered to make him an officer of his court
with great wealth as an enticement.
7 He was actually saying if you give me these
things I might just do it anyway.
8 YHWH was not his Elohim else why would he
be in Egypt against Israel! Even today, many
people who call upon God and not YHWH only
serve mammon as Balaam did.
9 Why would he ask them to stay and speak to
YHWH again since YHWH had already spoken?
The reason was that he was greedy and
looking for a way out. It’s like the
Televangelists looking to make loads of money
any which way they can by deceiving the
masses of people.

21 And Balaam rose up in the
morning, and saddled his ass, and
went with the princes of Moab.
22 And Elohim's anger2 was kindled
because he went: and the Malakh
hwhy stood in the way3 for an
adversary against him. Now he was
riding upon his ass, and his two
servants4 were with him.
23 And the ass saw the Malakh
hwhy standing in the way, and his
sword drawn in his hand: and the ass
turned aside out of the way, and went
into the field: and Balaam beat the
ass, to turn her into the way.
24 But the Malakh hwhy5 stood in a
path of the vineyards,6 a wall being on
1 YHWH is sarcastically saying to go, but not
really giving him permission to go. However,
watch how Balaam’s donkey is all set to travel
the world☺.
2 This is because YHWH never gave him
permission but since Balaam wanted to do this
due to greed he was all jet set to go.
3 Ha derech – The way, the same ‘way’ spoken
by Yahushua in Johen 14:6.
4 Targum of Jonathan says they were Jannes
and Jambres, the magicians of Egypt. Rabbi
Paulos (Sha’ul) wrote about these who
opposed Moses and the Torah in, Second
Timothy 3:8-9. Remember, Balaam himself was
one of the magicians present in Egypt at the
time before he ran away. He was a coward at
heart and he ran away with his sons. See book
of Yashar.
5 The Tzadik Son Yahushua
6 We have two choices either to walk in ‘the
way’ of the King or to walk away. Here a sod
hidden teaching can be seen where the donkey
can see what the correct path is but the
intelligent person Balaam cannot. This is how

25 And when the ass saw the Malakh
hwhy, she thrust herself unto the wall,
and crushed Balaam's foot against the
wall: and he beat her again.
26 And Malakh hwhy went further,
and stood in a narrow place,7 where
was no way to turn either to the right
hand or to the left.
27 And when the ass saw the Malakh
hwhy, she fell down under Balaam:8
and Balaam's anger was kindled, and
he beat the ass with a staff.
28 And hwhy opened the mouth of
the ass, and she said unto Balaam,
What have I done unto you, that You
have beaten me these three times?
29 And Balaam said unto the ass,
Because You have mocked me: I wish
if there was a sword in my hand, for I
would kill you now.9
30 And the ass said unto Balaam,
Am not I your ass, upon which You
have been riding ever since I was
yours unto this day? Have I ever
refused to do what you asked? And he
said, No.
many times intelligent people can become
foolish in their thinking. The vineyard is the sod
teaching for Messiah being the vine and we
being the branches. While Balaam is the
archetype for the false church, false preachers
leading people away from Torah today.
7 Sod meaning narrow for the narrow path of
Yahushua which is Torah keeping. Or, the wide
gates of the Church who eat unclean food do
not keep Torah, and blaspheme YHWH by
bringing his name to naught by calling him
Lord and God.
8 The donkey was bowing before YHWH that is
why it fell, even the animal had more sense
than Balaam.
9 When false prophets are found out they
cannot find a way out so they curse and abuse
the people by lying and we see the sod here.

31 Then hwhy opened the eyes of
Balaam, and he saw the Malakh
(Angel) hwhy standing in The WAY1,
and his sword2 drawn in his hand: and
he bowed down his head, and fell flat
on his face.3
32 And the Malakh hwhy 4 said unto
him, why have You beaten your ass
these three times? Behold, I went out
to withstand you, because your way 5
is perverse before me:

when they fall on their faces. Those who hate
Israelites and teach anti-Semitic doctrines and
replacement theology that says we are now

4 This is Yahushua.
5 Sod hidden meaning here ‘the way’ which
Yahushua used to apply to Himself in John
14:6, but the church has been teaching about
doing away with ‘the Torah,’ which is a
perverse teaching in many Churches. Also,
some churches are into using and worshipping
the generic term ‘god,’ yet many do not even
know that their Elohim’s name is YHWH not the
Babylonian deity called ‘god’. The Holy
Scriptures tell us we are not supposed to call
upon this pagan name. See our footnote in the
AF Tanach in Isaiah 65:11. They foolishly even
call Allah the Muslim deity, YHWH, and call
upon his incorrect name and then promote this
in the Arab lands deceiving the Arabs.
Many Arabic Christians are into this
foolishness, while Satan had his hand in the
translation of the Arabic Bible translating the
term YHWH into Allah at many times.

34 And Balaam said unto the Malakh
hwhy, I have sinned; for I knew not
that You stood in The WAY6 against
me: now therefore, if it displeases you,
I will go back.
35 And the Malakh hwhy said unto
Balaam, Go with the men: but only the
word that I shall speak unto you, which
You shall speak. So Balaam went with
the princes of Balak.
36 And when Balak heard that
Balaam was come, he went out to
meet him unto a city of Moab, which is
in the border of Arnon, which is in the
utmost coast.
37 And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I
not sincerely send unto you to call
you? Why would You not come on to
me? Am I not able indeed to promote
you to honour?
38 And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I
have come unto you: have I now any
power at all to say7 any thing? The
word that Elohim puts in my mouth,
that shall I speak.
39 And Balaam went with Balak, and
they came unto Kiryath-huzoth.
40 And Balak offered oxen and
sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the
princes that were with him.
41 And it came to pass on the next
day, that Balak took Balaam, and
brought him up into the high places of
Baal,8 that there he might see the

Chapter 23
1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build
me here seven altars, and prepare me
here seven oxen1 and seven rams.
2 And Balak did as Balaam had
spoken; and Balak and Balaam
offered on every altar a bullock and a
ram.
3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand
by your burnt offering, and I will go:
peradventure hwhy will come to meet
me: and whatsoever he shows me I
will tell you. And he went to a deserted
height.2
4 And Elohim met Balaam: and he
said unto him, I have prepared seven
altars, and I have offered upon every
altar a bullock and a ram.3
5 And hwhy put a word in Balaam's
mouth, and said, Return unto Balak,
1 This was a heathen practice for worship of
the planets as Balaam was a magician, so he
thought by adding to the number of Altars he
would somehow appease YHWH. But, since
YHWH first instructed Adam to build an altar,
he has only allowed one altar for sacrifice, not
seven. YHWH also did not allow His altar to be
cut by instruments so Balaam did not know this
and allowed these altars to be cut out of stone
by instruments. He was covering all bases, like
people do today, who say, if I worship all false
elohim in the world, I just might get to the
right one. So when I die, one of them will save
me. This is why he offered 7 bulls instead of
one.
2 The false prophets of the nations believed
that deserted places carry the divine presence,
although they mostly carry demonic spirits
instead.
3 Note; YHWH in the next verse does not
accept nor acknowledge Balaam’s heathen
sacrifices but tells him what he needs to do, to
the point.
315
and thus You shall speak.
6 And he returned unto him, and, lo,
he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and
all the princes of Moab.
7 And he took up his parable, and
said, Balak the king of Moab has
brought me from Aram, out of the
mountains of the east, saying, Come,
curse me Ya’acob (Jacob), and come,
defy Yah’sar’el (Israel).
8 How shall I curse, whom El (The
Power) has not cursed? 4 Or how shall
I denounce, whom hwhy has not
denounced?5
9 For from the top of the rocks I see
him, and from the hills I behold him: lo,
the people shall dwell alone, and shall
not be reckoned among the nations.
10 Who can count the dust6 of
Ya’acob (Jacob), and the number of
the fourth part of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
Let me die the death of the righteous,7
and let my last end be like his!
11 And Balak said unto Balaam,
What have You done unto me? I took
you to curse my enemies, and, behold,
You have blessed them altogether.
12 And he answered and said, Must I
take heed not to speak that which
4 Beresheeth (Genesis) 12:3
5 No one has the right or power to curse Israel,
YHWH has blessed them eternally. If you hate
Israel you will be hated by YHWH and if you
love Israel you will receive Love, it’s a simple
formula. Israel is all of the community of
brethren who believe in and serve YHWH,
along with Jewish Israel who is back in the
land today.
6 The multiplication of Israel in the nations and
polygamy would be one tool. You cannot
multiply by having one child in one family.
This is the Roman/Greek failed model of
Christianity.

13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I
pray you, with me unto another place,
from where You may see them: You
shall see but a small part of them, and
shall not see them all: and curse me
them from there.
14 And he brought him into the field
of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and
built seven altars, and offered a
bullock and a ram on every altar.1
15 And he said unto Balak, Stand
here by your burnt offering, while I
meet hwhy there.
16 And hwhy met Balaam, and put a
word in his mouth, and said, Go again
unto Balak, and say thus.
17 And when he came to him,
behold, he stood by his burnt offering,
and the princes of Moab with him. And
Balak said unto him, What has hwhy
spoken?
18 And he took up his parable, and
said, Rise up, Balak, and hear;
hearken unto me, You son of Zippor:
19 El (The Power) is not a man, that
he should lie; neither the son of man,
that he should repent: has he said,
and shall he not do it? Or has he
spoken, and shall he not make it

custom of seven altars and seven ox for
sacrifice.
2 YHWH repeats that he is not like man to
change his mind. What He said about Israel is
written and sealed, no one can change it. This
also shows that the Messiah to come would be
eternal and not any ordinary man of sin, but
like a man clothed from above.

blessed; and I cannot reverse it.3
21 He has not beheld iniquity in
Ya’acob (Jacob), neither has he seen
perverseness in Yah’sar’el (Israel):
hwhy his Elohim is with him, and the
shout of a king is among them.
22 El (The Power) brought them out
of Mitzrayim (Egypt); he has as it were
the strength of a wild bull.4
23 Surely there is no enchantment
against Ya’acob (Jacob), neither is
there any divination5 against
Yah’sar’el (Israel): according to this
time it shall be said of Ya’acob (Jacob)
and of Yah’sar’el (Israel), What has El
(The Power) wrought!
24 Behold, the people shall rise up
as a great lion, and lift up himself as a
young lion: he shall not lie down until
he eat of the prey, and drink the blood
of the slain.
25 And Balak said unto Balaam,
Neither curse them at all, nor bless
them at all.
26 But Balaam answered and said
unto Balak, I told you before, saying,
All that hwhy speaks to me, that I
must do?
27 And Balak said unto Balaam,
Come, I pray you, I will bring you unto
another place; perhaps it will please
Elohim that You may curse me them
from there.

pleased hwhy to bless Yah’sar’el
(Israel), he went not, as at other times,
to seek to do sorcery, but he set his
face toward the desert.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and
he saw Yah’sar’el (Israel) encamped
tribe by tribe; and the Ruach (Spirit) of
Elohim came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and
said, Balaam the son of Beor has said,
and the man whose eyes are open
has said:

words of El (The Power), which saw

5 How goodly are your tents,2 O
1 drank, his passion aroused, he would say,
See footnote Bmidbar (Numbers) 23:14
2 These tents are the homes of Israelites who
were practicing a lifestyle that YHWH ordained,
such as plural and monogamous marriages.
However, anyone who hates either of these
lifestyles hates YHWH’s ordinances. This could
be a Christian, or someone claiming to be a
Torah follower or an unbeliever. This prophecy
will come down as a curse on all those who
oppose YHWH because the other way to go
would be the lifestyle of fornication outside of
317
marriage with women, which many in the
churches have adopted alongside the world.
We find this happened when Balaam goes
against YHWH’s plan for Israel to multiply their
children through biblical polygamy, when he
instructed Balak how to bring Israel down.
Balaam directs Balak to bring in foreign women
to seduce Israel. So instead of receiving a
blessing, Israel would receive punishment
instead. Rabbis have stated in the sefer ha
aggadah page 97 chapter 113 Start quote. ‘The
Elohim of these people hates fornication and as
it happens these people are very fond of linen
garments (having grown accustomed to them
in Egypt).
Listen I have useful counsel for you. Make
tents partitioned by hanging draperies and put
harlots inside old ones in the front part and
young ones in the rear, and let them sell linen
garments. So all the way from snowcapped
Hermon (In the North) to Beth-ha-veshimot (In
the South), Balak erected such tents and
placed harlots inside-old ones in the front and
young ones in the rear. Whenever an Israelite
ate, drank, and became mellow, and went out
for a stroll in the market place, an old harlot
would say to him ‘are you not interested in
linen garments?’ She would offer them at the
going price, while the young harlot in the rear
of the tent offered them for less.’
After two or three sales, the young harlot
would say, ‘you are now like one of the family.
Sit down and select any garment you desire.’
Near her, there would be a cooler filled with
Ammonite wine, which is strong and stimulates
the body to lascivious thought. Then she would
say, ‘will you have a cup of wine?’ After he
‘Yield to me.’ Then at that, the harlot would
take her idols from her bosom and say ‘(first)
worship this.’ He ‘but I am a Jew.’ Then she
‘what difference does that make? You need to
do more then uncover yourself.’ {He did not
know that was the way the idol was
worshipped.}
‘What is more, I will not satisfy you until you
reject the Torah of Moses your teacher.’ End

This is a future prophecy which Rabbis know
about that means how good are your
synagogues/assemblies, places of worship of
Israel.
2 Prophecy of numerically multiplying via many
nations and via the method of Biblical
mandated polygamy as Israel’s seed will be in
many nations. This means that an Israelite will
have more than one wife and produce children.
The prophecy in Isaiah is not allegorical alone
but in the pashat, it shows that seven gentile
women from the ten scattered tribes will come
and marry one man.

A clear prophetic voice where we can see
Agag is the giant representative of the End-

build will be very large. Not to worry, for Israel
will be greater and more exalted than Agag
and the end result of Agag was death. It will
be the same end result for those who oppose
and fight against Israel.

an Israelite warrior is shown his quiver full of
arrows. The arrows are his children and are

against Balaam, and he beat his
hands together:6 and Balak said unto
Balaam, I called you to curse my
enemies, and, instead, You have
blessed them these three times.
11 Therefore now flee from here to
your place: I thought to promote you
unto great honour; but, lo, hwhy has
kept you back from honour.

not speak to your messengers and
said this.

go beyond the commandment of

2 The prophecy of King Messiah to smite and
destroy all nations (Islamic) who are against
Israel.
3 See my article on the sons of Sheth. These
are radical Islamists who will be removed at
the end of days by the battle of Armageddon.
Yahushua is mentioned as a star (Kokab)
meaning He is the prince (Dan 8:11) and He is
also described as a Sceptre. In other words,
the word for stick or a scion indicates that he
would unite or in graft by His own death, then
follow it up by His resurrection.’
The corners or mouth of the nations that will
be battered around Israel, are the nations such
as Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon, who will
have a marked destruction at the time of the
end when the King of Kings will batter them.
The idea presented in Bmidbar (Numbers)
24:17 in the ancient Hebrew reveals the
following.
A King will rise out of the 12 tribes of Israel, in
other words Yahudah (Beresheeth Genesis
49:10) will give us this king, who is the person
of Yahushua popularly known as Jesus Christ in
the West. This king was set to come at a
distant future from the time when the
prophecy was spoken and the idea in the
prophecy is that He has two comings, one I
‘behold’ him but not ‘now’ in other words it is
not now but later and he will be around for a
short time and then be ‘out of sight’ followed
by obviously His ‘Return.’ How can a king
batter the brow of Moab when Moab was not a
full force to deal with at that time and also the
Messiah would not come during Balaam's time?
Balaam's language is like hide and seek, one
minute ‘I see him’ and then ‘not’ etc and then
he speaks about the future destruction of the
sons of Sheth who are the radical Islamists.

Phinehas did something that averted disaster in
Israel when Balaam suggested to Balaak that
he should seduce the sons of Israel through
women and this brought on the plague,
because of the fornication. YHWH gave the
covenant of shalom to Phinehas who was a
Lewite in the line of Aharon his grandfather
and it indicates that our small things done
through our hands can sometimes mean big
things to YHWH so we must not stop doing
what is right.
3 This is a Pledge of friendship and peace while
the world would call this an act of murder, but
he saved the Israelites from destruction. When
we do what is right in YHWH’s sight it is never
wrong to do good.

 Bmidbar (Numbers)
the less inheritance: to every one shall
his inheritance be given according to
those that were registered of him.
55 Not withstanding the land shall be

them were twenty three thousand, all
males from a month old and upward:
for they were not registered among the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), because
there was no inheritance given them
among the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
63 These are they that were
registered by Musa (Moses) and
El’ezar the kohen (priest), who
registered the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) in the plains of Moab by
Yardan (Jordan) near Yericho
(Jericho).
64 But among these there was not a
man of them whom Musa (Moses) and
Aharon the kohen (priest) registered,
when they registered the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) in the desert of
Sini’yah (Sinai).
65 For hwhy had said of them, They
shall surely die in the desert. And
there was not left a man of them, save
Caleb the son of Yephunneh, and
Yahushua (Joshua) the son of Nun.3
3 Only Caleb and Yahushua who represented
the tribes of Yahudah and Ephraim were left of
the first generation of Israelites to enter the
land. None of the others from that generation
made it due to their lack of obedience. Many
Christians will not make it into the land due to
the same, and those that make it with one foot
in the church and the other foot in the world
will not have very good status. They will be
predominantly slaves in the kingdom to Israel.
If you want to be a slave in the kingdom keep
disobeying Torah and this is a sure way to get
condemned to eternal damnation but you will
have a status change that will affect you
eternally. On the other hand if you want an
honorable status then keep and obey Torah.

1 Then came the daughters of
Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the
son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the
son of Manashsheh, of the mishpachot
(families) of Manashsheh the son of
Yosef: and these are the names of his
daughters; Mahlah, Noach (Noah),
and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
2 And they stood before Musa
(Moses), and before El’ezar the kohen
(priest), and before the princes and all
the congregation, by the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation,
saying,
3 Our father died in the desert, and
he was not in the company of them
that gathered themselves together
against hwhy in the company of
Korah; but died in his own sin, and
had no sons.
4 Why should the name of our father
be done away from among his
mishpacha (family), because he has
no son? Give unto us therefore a
possession among the brethren of our
father.

5 And Musa (Moses) brought their
cause before hwhy.
6 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
7 The daughters of Zelophehad
speak right: You shall surely give them
a possession of an inheritance among
their father's brethren; and You shall
cause the inheritance of their father to

8 And You shall speak unto the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying,
If a man die, and have no son, then
you shall cause his inheritance to pass
unto his daughter.
9 And if he has no daughter, then
you shall give his inheritance unto his
brethren.
10 And if he has no brethren, then
you shall give his inheritance unto his
father's brethren.
11 And if his father have no brethren,
then you shall give his inheritance
unto his kinsman that is next to him of
his mishpacha (family), and he shall
possess it: and it shall be unto the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) a statute
of judgment, as hwhy commanded
Musa (Moses).
12 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), Go up into this Mount
Abarim, and see the land which I have
given unto the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
13 And when You have seen it, You
also shall be gathered unto your
people, as Aharon your brother was
gathered.
14 For you rebelled against my

15 And Musa (Moses) spoke unto
hwhy, saying,
16 Let hwhy, the Elohim of the
ruachot (Spirits) of all flesh, set a man
over the congregation,
17 Which may go out before them,
and which may go in before them, and
which may lead them out, and which
may bring them in; that the
congregation of hwhy be not as sheep
which have no shepherd.
18 And hwhy said unto Musa
(Moses), Take Yahushua (Joshua) the
son of Nun, a man in whom is the
Ruach (Set-apart Spirit), and lay your
hand upon him;1
19 And set him before El’ezar the
kohen (priest), and before all the
congregation; and give him a charge
in their sight.
20 And You shall delegate some of
your authority upon him, that all the
congregation of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) may be obedient.
21 And he shall stand before El’ezar
the kohen (priest), who shall ask
counsel for him after the judgment of
Urim before hwhy at his word shall
they go out, and at his word they shall
come in, both he, and all the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) with him, even all
the congregation.
22 And Musa (Moses) did as hwhy
commanded him: and he took
Yahushua (Joshua), and set him
before El’ezar the kohen (priest), and
before all the congregation:

offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a
sweet savour unto hwhy: one bullock,
one ram, seven lambs of the first year
without blemish:
37 Their grain offering and their drink
offerings for the bullock, for the ram,
and for the lambs, shall be according
to their number, after the manner:
38 And one goat for a sin offering;
beside the continual burnt offering,
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
and his grain offering and his drink
offering.
39 These things you shall do unto
hwhy in your appointed times, beside
your vows,1 and your freewill offerings,
for your burnt offerings, and for your
grain offerings, and for your drink
offerings, and for your shalom (peace)
offerings.
40 And Musa (Moses) told the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
according to all that hwhy commanded
Musa (Moses).

children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying,
This is the thing which hwhy has
commanded.

wherewith she has bound her soul
shall stand.
5 But if her father disallow her in the
day that he hears; not any of her
vows,3 or of her bonds wherewith she
has bound her soul, shall stand: and
hwhy shall forgive her, because her
father disallowed her.
6 And if she had at all a husband,
when she vowed, or uttered anything
out of her lips, wherewith she bound
her soul;
7 And her husband heard it,4 and
held his shalom (peace) at her in the
day that he heard it then her vows
shall stand, and her bonds wherewith
she bound her soul shall stand.
8 But if her husband disallowed her
on the day that he heard it; then he
shall make her vow which she vowed,
and that which she uttered with her
lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of
none effect: and hwhy shall forgive
her.
9 But every vow of a widow, and of
her that is divorced, wherewith they
have bound their souls, shall stand

10 And if she vowed in her

her soul by a bond with an oath;

she bound her soul shall stand.
12 But if her husband has utterly
made them void on the day he heard
them; then whatsoever proceeded out
of her lips concerning her vows, or
concerning the bond of her soul, shall
not stand: her husband has made
them void; and hwhy shall forgive her.
13 Every vow, and every binding
oath to afflict the soul, her husband
may establish it, or her husband may
make it void.
14 But if her husband altogether hold
his shalom (peace) at her from day
today; then he establishes all her
vows, or all her bonds, which are upon
her: he confirms them, because he
held his shalom (peace) at her in the
day that he heard them.
15 But if he shall in any way make
them void after that he has heard
them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
16 These are the statutes, which
hwhy commanded Musa (Moses),
between a man and his wife, between
the father and his daughter, being yet
in her youth in her father's Beyth
(house).
Chapter 31
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Avenge the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) of the Midianites: afterward
shall You be gathered unto your
people.
3 And Musa (Moses) spoke unto the
people, saying, Arm some of
yourselves unto the war, and let them
go against the Midianites, and avenge
hwhy of Midian.
4 Of every tribe a thousand,
throughout all the tribes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), shall you send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the
331
thousands of Yah’sar’el (Israel), a
thousand of every tribe, twelve
thousand armed for war.
6 And Musa (Moses) sent them to
the war, a thousand of every tribe,
them and Phinehas the son of El’ezar
the kohen (priest), to the war, with the
set-apart instruments, and the
shofarim to blow in his hand.
7 And they warred against the
Midianites, as hwhy commanded
Musa (Moses); and they slew all the
males.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian,
beside the rest of them that were slain;
namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and
Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian:
Balaam also the son of Beor they slew
with the sword.1
9 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) took all the women of Midian
captives, and their little ones, and took
the spoil of all their cattle, and all their
flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities
wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all
the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 And they brought the captives,
and the prey, and the spoil, unto Musa
(Moses), and El’ezar the kohen
(priest), and unto the congregation of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), unto
the camp at the plains of Moab, which
are by Yardan (Jordan) near Yericho
(Jericho).
13 And Musa (Moses), and El’ezar
the kohen (priest), and all the princes
1 They killed Balaam because he came to
collect the reward for the twenty four thousand
Israelites he caused to die. These were victims
of the lechery of Balaam and his scheme to
cause Israel to fornicate with foreign women.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
of the congregation, went forth to meet
them outside the camp.
14 And Musa (Moses) was very
angry with the officers of the host, with
the captains over thousands, and
captains over hundreds, which came
from the battle.
15 And Musa (Moses) said unto
them, Have you saved all the women
alive?
16 Behold, these caused the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), through the
counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass
against hwhy in the matter of Peor,
and there was a plague among the
congregation of hwhy.
17 Now therefore kill every male
among the little ones, and kill every
woman that has known man by lying
with him.1
18 But all the female children, that
have not known a man by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 And do you abide outside the
camp seven days: whosoever has
killed any person, and whosoever has
touched any slain, purifies both
yourselves and your captives on the
third day, and on the seventh day.
20 And purify all your raiment, and all
that is made of skins, and all work of

worshipping false elohim and would lead Israel
and others astray. The adulterers in Israel
were killed and these Midianite women were
partners in that idolatry. Now according to the
Torah law, both the male and female must die.
This is why these women had to be killed and
the kids were the product of that adultery. The
kids also would have grown up to do the same
and in their death they would only go back to
YHWH, who would not send the children to
hell. The virgin women were given a chance
since they could be married and brought to the
covenant of YHWH.

goats' hair, and all things made of
wood.
21 And El’ezar the kohen (priest)
said unto the men of war which went
to the battle, This is the ordinance of
the Torah which hwhy commanded
Musa (Moses);
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the
brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 Every thing that may abide the
fire, you shall make it go through the
fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless
it shall be purified with the mayim
(water) of separation: and all that
abides not the fire you shall make to
go through the mayim (water).
24 And you shall wash your clothes
on the seventh day, and you shall be
clean, and afterward you shall come
into the camp.
25 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
26 Take the sum of the plunder that
was captured, both of man and of
beast, You, and El’ezar the kohen
(priest), and the chief ahvot (fathers)
of the congregation:
27 And divide the prey into two parts;
between them that took the war upon
them, who went out to battle, and
between all the congregation.
28 And levy a tribute unto hwhy of
the men of war which went out to
battle: one soul of five hundred, both
of the persons, and of the cattles, and
of the asses, and of the sheep:
29 Take it of their half, and give it
unto El’ezar the kohen (priest), for a
heave offering of hwhy.
30 And of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)'s half, You shall take one
portion of fifty, of the persons, of the
cattles, of the asses, and of the flocks,
of all manner of beasts, and give them
unto the Lewites, which keep the
charge of the tabernacle of hwhy.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
31 And Musa (Moses) and El’ezar
the kohen (priest) did as hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses).
32 And the spoils of war, being the
rest of the plunder which the men of
war had caught, was six hundred
thousand and seventy five thousand
sheep,
33 And seventy two thousand cattle,
34 And sixty one thousand asses,
35 And thirty two thousand persons
in all, of women that had not known
man by lying with him.
36 And the half, which was the
portion of them that went out to war,
was three hundred and thirty-seven
thousand five hundred sheep.
37 And hwhy's tribute of the sheep
was six hundred and seventy five.
38 And the cattle were thirty six
thousand; of which hwhy's tribute was
seventy two.
39 And the asses were thirty
thousand and five hundred; of which
hwhy's tribute was sixty one.
40 And the persons were sixteen
thousand; of which hwhy's tribute was
thirty two persons.
41 And Musa (Moses) gave the
tribute, which was hwhy's contribution
offering, unto El’ezar the kohen
(priest), as hwhy commanded Musa
(Moses).
42 And of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)'s half, which Musa (Moses)
divided from the men that warred,
43 Now the half that pertained unto
the congregation was three hundred
thousand thirty seven thousand and
five hundred sheep,
44 And thirty six thousand cattle,
45 And thirty thousand five hundred
asses,
46 And sixteen thousand persons.
47 Even of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)'s half, Musa (Moses) took one
333
portion of fifty, both of man and of
beast, and gave them unto the
Lewites, which kept the charge of the
tabernacle of hwhy; as hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses).
48 And the officers, who were over
thousands of the host, the captains of
thousands, and captains of hundreds,
came near unto Musa (Moses):
49 And they said unto Musa (Moses),
Your servants have taken the sum of
the men of war which are under our
charge, and there lacks not one man
of us.
50 We have therefore brought an
offering for hwhy, what each man has
received, of jewels of gold, chains, and
bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets,
to make atonement for our souls
before hwhy.
51 And Musa (Moses) and El’ezar
the kohen (priest) took the gold of
them, even all wrought jewels.
52 And all the gold of the offering
that they offered up to hwhy, of the
captains of thousands, and of the
captains of hundreds, was sixteen
thousand seven hundred and fifty
shekels.
53 For the men of war had taken
spoil, every man for himself.
54 And Musa (Moses) and El’ezar
the kohen (priest) took the gold of the
captains of thousands and of
hundreds, and brought it into the
tabernacle of the congregation, for a
memorial for the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) before hwhy.
Chapter 32
1 Now the children of Reuben and
the children of Gawd had a very great
multitude of cattle: and when they saw
the land of Yatzer, and the land of
Gilead, that, behold, the place was a
place for cattle;
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
2 The children of Gawd and the
children of Reuben came and spoke
unto Musa (Moses), and to El’ezar the
kohen (priest), and unto the princes of
the congregation, saying,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Yatzer,
and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and
Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and
Beon,
4 Even the country which hwhy
smote before the congregation of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) is a land for cattle,
and your servants have cattle:
5 Wherefore, said they, if we have
found favour in your sight, let this land
be given unto your servants for a
possession, and bring us not over
Yardan (Jordan).
6 And Musa (Moses) said unto the
children of Gawd and to the children of
Reuben, would your brethren go to
war, and shall you sit here?
7 And why do you discourage the
heart of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) from going over into the land
which hwhy has given them?
8 Thus did your ahvot (fathers), when
I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to
see the land.
9 For when they went up unto the
valley of Eshcol, and saw the land,
they discouraged the heart of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they
should not go into the land which
hwhy had given them.
10 And hwhy's anger was kindled
the same time, and he swore, saying,
11 Surely none of the men that came
up out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), from
twenty years old and upward, shall
see the land which I swore unto
Abraham, unto Yah’sac (Isaac), and
unto Ya’acob (Jacob); because they
have not fully followed me:
12 Except Caleb the son of
Yephunneh the Kenezite, and
334
Yahushua (Joshua) the son of Nun: for
they have fully followed hwhy.
13 And hwhy's anger was kindled
against Yah’sar’el (Israel), and he
made them wander in the desert forty
years, until all the generation, that had
done evil in the sight of hwhy, was
consumed.
14 And, behold, you are risen up in
your ahvot (fathers) instead, a brood
of sinners, to ignite the fierce anger of
hwhy toward Yah’sar’el (Israel) again.
15 For if you turn away from after
him, he will yet again leave them in the
desert; and you shall destroy all this
people.
16 And they came near unto him,
and said, We will build sheepfolds
here for our cattle, and cities for our
little ones:
17 But we ourselves will go ready
armed before the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), until we have brought them
unto their place: and our little ones
shall dwell in the fenced cities
because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 We will not return unto our
houses, until the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) have inherited every man his
inheritance.
19 For we will not inherit with them
on the other side Yardan (Jordan), or
forward; because our inheritance is
fallen to us on this side Yardan
(Jordan) eastward.
20 And Musa (Moses) said unto
them, If you will do this thing, if you will
go armed before hwhy to war,
21 And will go all of you armed over
Yardan (Jordan) before hwhy, until he
has driven out his enemies from
before him,
22 And the land be subdued before
hwhy: then afterward you shall return,
and be guiltless before hwhy, and
before Yah’sar’el (Israel); and this land
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
shall be your possession before hwhy.
23 But if you will not do so, behold,
you have sinned against hwhy: and be
sure your sin will find you out.
24 Build your cities for your little ones
and folds for your sheep; and do that
which has proceeded out of your
mouth.
25 And the children of Gawd and the
children of Reuben spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying, Your servants will do
as my master commands.
26 Our little ones, our wives, our
flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there
in the cities of Gilead:
27 But your servants will pass over,
every man armed for war, before
hwhy to battle, as my master says.
28 So concerning them Musa
(Moses) commanded El’ezar the
kohen (priest), and Yahushua
(Joshua) the son of Nun, and the chief
ahvot (fathers) of the tribes of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
29 And Musa (Moses) said unto
them, If the children of Gawd and the
children of Reuben will pass with you
over Yardan (Jordan), every man
armed to battle, before hwhy, and the
land shall be subdued before you;
then you shall give them the land of
Gilead for a possession:
30 But if they will not pass over with
you armed, they shall have
possessions among you in the land of
Canaan.
31 And the children of Gawd and the
children of Reuben answered, saying,
As hwhy has said unto your servants,
so will we do.
32 We will pass over armed before
hwhy into the land of Canaan, that the
possession of our inheritance on this
side Yardan (Jordan) may be ours.
33 And Musa (Moses) gave unto
them, even to the children of Gawd,
335
and to the children of Reuben, and
unto half the tribe of Manashsheh the
son of Yosef, the kingdom of Sihon
king of the Amorites, and the kingdom
of Og king of Bashan, the land, with
the cities thereof in the coasts, even
the cities of the country roundabout.
34 And the children of Gawd built
Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and
Yaazer, and Yogbehah,
36 And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-
haran, fenced cities: and folds for
sheep.
37 And the children of Reuben built
Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
Kiryathaim,
38 And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their
names being changed,) and Shibmah:
and gave other names unto the cities
which they built.
39 And the children of Machir the son
of Manashsheh went to Gilead, and
took it, and dispossessed the Amorite
which was in it.
40 And Musa (Moses) gave Gilead
unto Machir the son of Manashsheh;
and he dwelt therein.
41 And Yair the son of Manashsheh
went and took the small towns thereof,
and called them Havoth-Yair.
42 And Nobah went and took
Kenath, and the villages thereof, and
called it Nobah, after his own name.

1 These are the journeys of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), which
went forth out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) with their armies under the
hand of Musa (Moses) and Aharon.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
2 And Musa (Moses) wrote their
goings out according to their journeys
by the commandment of hwhy and
these are their journeys according to
their goings out.
3 And they departed from Rameses
in the first month, on the fifteenth day
of the first month; on the day after the
Passover the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) went out with a high hand in
the sight of all the Mitzrim (Egyptians).
4 For the Mitzrim (Egyptians) buried
all their bechor (firstborn), which hwhy
had smitten among them: upon their
elohim also hwhy executed
judgments.
5 And the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) removed from Rameses, and
pitched in Succoth.
6 And they departed from Succoth,
and pitched in Etham, which is in the
edge of the desert.
7 And they removed from Etham,
and turned again unto Pi-ha hiroth,
which is before Baal-zephon: and they
pitched before Migdol.
8 And they departed from before Pi-
ha hiroth, and passed through the
midst of the sea into the desert, and
went three days' journey in the desert
of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
9 And they removed from Marah, and
came unto Elim and in Elim were
twelve fountains of mayim (water), and
seventy palm trees; and they pitched
there.
10 And they removed from Elim, and
encamped by the Sea of Reeds.
11 And they removed from the Sea
of Reeds, and encamped in the desert
of Sin.
12 And they took their journey out of
the desert of Sin, and encamped in
Dophkah.
13 And they departed from Dophkah,
and encamped in Alush.
336
14 And they removed from Alush,
and encamped at Rephidim, where
was no mayim (water) for the people
to drink.
15 And they departed from
Rephidim, and pitched in the desert of
Sini’yah (Sinai).
16 And they removed from the desert
of Sini’yah (Sinai), and pitched at
Kibroth-hattaavah.
17 And they departed from Kibroth-
hattaavah, and encamped at
Hazeroth.
18 And they departed from Hazeroth,
and pitched in Rithmah.
19 And they departed from Rithmah,
and pitched at Rimmon-parez.
20 And they departed from Rimmon-
parez, and pitched in Livnah.
21 And they removed from Livnah,
and pitched at Rissah.
22 And they journeyed from Rissah,
and pitched in Kehelathah.
23 And they went from Kehelathah,
and pitched in Mount Shapher.
24 And they removed from Mount
Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.
25 And they removed from Haradah,
and pitched in Makheloth.
26 And they removed from
Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
27 And they departed from Tahath,
and pitched at Tarah.
28 And they removed from Tarah,
and pitched in Mithcah.
29 And they went from Mithcah, and
pitched in Hashmonah.
30 And they departed from
Hashmonah, and encamped at
Moseroth.
31 And they departed from Moseroth,
and pitched in Bene-yaakan.
32 And they removed from Bene-
yaakan, and encamped at Hor-
hagidgad.
33 And they went from Hor-
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
hagidgad, and pitched in Yotbathah.
34 And they removed from
Yotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
35 And they departed from Ebronah,
and encamped at Etzyon-gaber.
36 And they removed from Etzyon-
gaber, and pitched in the desert of Zin,
which is Kadesh.
37 And they removed from Kadesh,
and pitched in Mount Hor, in the edge
of the land of Edom.
38 And Aharon the kohen (priest)
went up into Mount Hor at the
commandment of hwhy, and died
there, in the fortieth year after the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) were
come out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), in the first day of the fifth1
month.
39 And Aharon was a hundred and
twenty-three years old when he died in
Mount Hor.
40 And king Arad the Canaanite,
which dwelt in the south in the land of
Canaan, heard of the coming of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
41 And they departed from Mount
Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
42 And they departed from
Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
43 And they departed from Punon,
and pitched in Oboth.
44 And they departed from Oboth,
and pitched in Iye-ha barim, in the
border of Moab.
45 And they departed from Iim, and
pitched in Dibon-Gawd.
1 This is the month of AV, which is during the
months of July/August. This was the time
frame of Aharon’s death, not Israel’s release
from Egypt, which took place in the month of
Abib (Nisan). He died on Mount Hor but was
buried in Mosera, Debarim (Deuteronomy
10:6).
337
46 And they removed from Dibon-
Gawd, and encamped in Almon-
diblathaim.
47 And they removed from Almon-
diblathaim, and pitched in the
mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
48 And they departed from the
mountains of Abarim, and pitched in
the plains of Moab by Yardan (Jordan)
near Yericho (Jericho).
49 And they pitched by Yardan
(Jordan), from Beth-yesimoth even
unto Abel-shittim in the plains of
Moab.
50 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) in the plains of Moab by
Yardan (Jordan) near Yericho
(Jericho), saying,
51 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
When you are passed over Yardan
(Jordan) into the land of Canaan;
52 Then you shall drive out all the
inhabitants of the land from before
you, and destroy all their engraved
stones, and destroy all their molten
images, and demolish all their high
places:
53 And you shall dispossess the
inhabitants of the land, and dwell
therein: for I have given you the land
to possess it.
54 And you shall divide the land by
lot for an inheritance among your
mishpachot (families) and to the more
you shall give the more inheritance,
and to the fewer you shall give the
less inheritance: each man's
inheritance shall be in the place where
his lot falls; according to the tribes of
your ahvot (fathers) you shall inherit.
55 But if you will not drive out the
inhabitants of the land from before
you; then it shall come to pass, that
those which you let remain of them
shall be pricks in your eyes, and
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
thorns in your sides, and shall trouble
you in the land wherein you dwell.1
56 Moreover it shall come to pass,
that I shall do unto you, as I thought to
do unto them.
Chapter 34
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
2 Command the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
When you come into the land of
Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall
unto you for an inheritance, even the
land of Canaan with the coasts
thereof.)
3 Then your south quarter shall be
from the desert of Zin along by the
coast of Edom, and your south border
shall be the outmost coast of the salt
sea2 eastward:
4 And your border shall turn from the
south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and
pass on to Zin: and the going forth
thereof shall be from the south to
Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to
Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:
5 And the border shall fetch a
compass from Azmon unto the river of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and the goings out
of it shall be at the sea.
6 And as for the western border, you
shall even have the great sea3 for a
border: this shall be your west border.
7 And this shall be your north border:
from the great sea you shall point out
for you Mount Hor:
8 From Mount Hor you shall point out

suffers to this day from the radical Palestinians
who are like thorns and pricking briers.

3 Mediterranean Sea.

your border unto the entrance of
Hamath; and the goings forth of the
border shall be to Zedad:
9 And the border shall go on to
Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall
be at Hazar-enan this shall be your
north border.
10 And you shall point out your east
border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:
11 And the coast shall go down from
Shepham to Riblah, on the east side
of Ain; and the border shall descend,
and shall reach unto the side of the
sea of Kinnereth4 eastward:
12 And the border shall go down to
Yardan (Jordan), and the goings out of
it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be
your land with the coasts thereof
round about.
13 And Musa (Moses) commanded
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
saying, This is the land which you
shall inherit by lot, which hwhy
commanded to give unto the nine
tribes, and to the half tribe:
14 For the tribe of the children of
Reuben according to the Beyth
(house) of their ahvot (fathers), and
the tribe of the children of Gawd
according to the Beyth (house) of their
ahvot (fathers), have received their
inheritance; and half the tribe of
Manashsheh have received their
inheritance:
15 The two tribes and the half tribe
have received their inheritance on this
side Yardan (Jordan) near Yericho
(Jericho) eastward, toward the sun
rising.
16 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
17 These are the names of the men
which shall divide the land unto you:
4 The Sea of Galilee.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
El’ezar the kohen (priest), and
Yahushua (Joshua) the son of Nun.
18 And you shall take one prince of
every tribe, to divide the land by
inheritance.
19 And the names of the men are
these: Of the tribe of Yahudah
(Judah), Caleb the son of Yephunneh.
20 And of the tribe of the children of
Shimeon, Shemu’el the son of
Ammihud.
21 Of the tribe of Binyamin
(Benjamin), Elidad the son of Chislon.
22 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Dan, Bukki the son of Yogli.
23 The prince of the children of
Yosef, for the tribe of the children of
Manashsheh, Hanni’el the son of
Ephod.
24 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Ephraim, Kemu’el the son
of Shiphtan.
25 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son
of Parnach.
26 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Yah’sachar (Issachar),
Palti’el the son of Azzan.
27 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Asher, Ahihud the son of
Shelomi.
28 And the prince of the tribe of the
children of Naphtali, Pedah’el the son
of Ammihud.
29 These are they whom hwhy
commanded to divide the inheritance
unto the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
in the land of Canaan.
Chapter 35
1 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses) in the plains of Moab by
Yardan (Jordan) near Yericho
(Jericho), saying,
2 Command the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they give unto
339
the Lewites of the inheritance of their
possession cities to dwell in; and you
shall give also unto the Lewites
suburbs for the cities roundabout
them.
3 And the cities shall they have to
dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall
be for their cattle, and for their goods,
and for all their beasts.
4 And the suburbs of the cities, which
you shall give unto the Lewites, shall
reach from the wall of the city and
outward a thousand cubits1 round
about.
5 And you shall measure from
outside the city on the east side two
thousand cubits, and on the south side
two thousand cubits, and on the west
side two thousand cubits, and on the
north side two thousand cubits; and
the city shall be in the midst: this shall
be to them the suburbs of the cities.
6 And among the cities which you
shall give unto the Lewites there shall
be six cities for refuge, which you shall
appoint for the person who has killed
unintentionally,2 that he may flee
there: and to them you shall add forty
two cities.
7 So all the cities which you shall
give to the Lewites shall be forty and
eight cities: them shall you give with
1 500 Yards.
2 Someone who committed manslaughter by
accident could take refuge in these cities and
would not be punished. His accidental sin
would be purged by the death of the High
Priest, see footnote in verse 25. Those who
argue that the Messiah Yahushua could not pay
the penalty for sin should take note of this.
That if a human High Priest could pay the
penalty for sin by his own death for a man who
was killed someone by accident then how
much more the Tzadik Son, the middle-pillar of
the sefirotic tree, Yahushua?
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
their suburbs.
8 And the cities which you shall give
shall be of the possession of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): from
them that have many you shall give
many; but from them that have few
you shall give few: every one shall
give of his cities unto the Lewites
according to his inheritance which he
inherited.
9 And hwhy spoke unto Musa
(Moses), saying,
10 Speak unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say unto them,
When you be come over Yardan
(Jordan) into the land of Canaan;
11 Then you shall appoint yourself
cities to be cities of refuge for you; that
the person who kills unintentionally
may flee there, who has killed
someone accidentally.
12 And they shall be unto you cities
for refuge from the avenger; that the
manslayer die not, until he stand
before the congregation in judgment.
13 And of these cities which you
shall give six cities shall you have for
refuge.
14 You shall give three cities on this
side of Yardan (Jordan), and three
cities shall you give in the land of
Canaan, which shall be cities of
refuge.
15 These six cities shall be a refuge,
both for the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and for the foreigner, and for
the sojourner among them: that every
one that kills any person unawares
may flee there.
16 And if he has smitten him with an
instrument of iron, so that he dies, he
is a murderer: the murderer shall
surely be put to death.
17 And if he has smitten him with
throwing a stone, with which he may
die, and he dies, he is a murderer: the
340
murderer shall surely be put to death.
18 Or if he smites him with a hand
weapon of wood, wherewith he may
die, and he dies, he is a murderer: the
murderer shall surely be put to death.
19 The revenger of blood himself
shall slay the murderer: when he
meets him, he shall slay him.
20 But if he thrust him because of
hatred, or waited to kill him by
ambush, that he die;
21 Or in enmity smite him with his
hand, that he dies he that smote him
shall surely be put to death; for he is a
murderer: the revenger of blood shall
slay the murderer, when he meets
him.
22 But if he thrust him suddenly
without enmity, or throws an object at
him without lying in wait,
23 Or with any stone, wherewith a
man may die, seeing him not, and cast
it upon him, that he die, and was not
his enemy, neither sought his harm:
24 Then the congregation shall judge
between the slayer and the revenger
of blood according to these judgments:
25 And the congregation shall deliver
the slayer out of the hand of the
revenger of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to the
city of his refuge, where he was fled:
and he shall abide in it unto the death
of the Kohen ha Gadol (High Priest),1
which was anointed with the set-apart
oil.
1 The death of the High Priest would expunge
his guilt. The same way we were all destined to
hell but the death of the High Priest Yahushua
Ha Mashiach has expunged our sin whether
intentional or unintentional. We who are Israel
are saved by the blood that He shed for us,
and we are engrafted back to the natural Olive
Tree. We await His return to take us back to
the land of Israel the land of our forefathers.
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
26 But if the slayer shall at any time
come outside the border of the city of
his refuge, where he was fled;
27 And the revenger of blood finds
him outside the borders of the city of
his refuge, and the revenger of blood
kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of
blood:
28 Because he should have
remained in the city of his refuge until
the death of the Kohen ha Gadol (High
Priest): but after the death of the
Kohen ha Gadol (High Priest) the
slayer shall return into the land of his
possession.
29 So these things shall be for a
statute of judgment unto you
throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.
30 Whoever kills any person, the
murderer shall be put to death by the
mouth of witnesses:1 but one witness
shall not testify against any person to
cause him to die.
31 Moreover you shall take no
satisfaction for the life of a murderer,
which is guilty of death: but he shall be
surely put to death.
32 And you shall take no satisfaction
for him that is fled to the city of his
refuge, that he should come again to
dwell in the land, until the death of the
Kohen ha Gadol (High Priest).
33 So you shall not pollute the land
wherein you are: for blood it defiles the
land: and the land cannot be cleansed
of the blood that is shed therein, but
by the blood of him that shed it.
34 Defile not therefore the land which
you shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I
hwhy dwell among the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
1 At least two witnesses or three are needed to
confirm a case.

Chapter 36
1 And the chief ahvot (fathers) of the
mishpachot (families) of the children of
Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of
Manashsheh, of the mishpachot
(families) of the sons of Yosef, came
near, and spoke before Musa (Moses),
and before the princes, the chief ahvot
(fathers) of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel):
2 And they said, hwhy commanded
my master to give the land for an
inheritance by lot to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and my master was
commanded by hwhy to give the
inheritance of Zelophehad our brother
unto his daughters.
3 And if they be married to any of the
sons of the other tribes of the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), then shall their
inheritance be taken from the
inheritance of our ahvot (fathers), and
shall be put to the inheritance of the
tribe whereunto they are received: so
shall it be taken from the lot of our
inheritance.
4 And when the Yahubel of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall be,
and then shall their inheritance be put
unto the inheritance of the tribe
whereunto they are received: so shall
their inheritance be taken away from
the inheritance of the tribe of our ahvot
(fathers).
5 And Musa (Moses) commanded
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
according to the word of hwhy, saying,
The tribe of the sons of Yosef has said
well.
6 This is the thing which hwhy will
command concerning the daughters of
Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to
whom they think best; only to the
mishpacha (family) of the tribe of their
father shall they marry.
7 So shall not the inheritance of the
 Bmidbar (Numbers)
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) remove
from tribe to tribe: for every one of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall
keep himself to the inheritance of the
tribe of his ahvot (fathers).
8 And every daughter, that
possessed an inheritance in any tribe
of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
shall be wife unto one of the
mishpacha (family) of the tribe of her
father, that the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) may enjoy every man the
inheritance of his ahvot (fathers).
9 Neither shall the inheritance
remove from one tribe to another tribe;
but every one of the tribes of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall
keep himself to his own inheritance.
10 Even as hwhy commanded Musa
(Moses), so did the daughters of
342
Zelophehad.
11 For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah,
and Milcah, and Noach (Noah), the
daughters of Zelophehad, were
married unto their father's brothers'
sons:
12 And they were married into the
mishpachot (families) of the sons of
Manashsheh the son of Yosef, and
their inheritance remained in the tribe
of the mishpacha (family) of their
father.
13 These are the commandments and
the judgments, which hwhy
commanded by the hand of Musa
(Moses) unto the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) in the plains of Moab by
Yardan (Jordan) near Yericho
(Jericho). ‫ת‬

1 These be the words which Musa
(Moses) spoke unto all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) on this side Yardan (Jordan) in
the desert, in the plain over against
the Sea of Reeds, between Paran,
and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth,
and Dizahab.
2 There are eleven days' journey
from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir
unto Kadesh-barnea.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth
year, in the eleventh month,1 on the
first day of the month, that Musa
(Moses) spoke unto the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), according unto all
that hwhy had given him in
commandment unto them;
4 After he had slain Sihon the king of
the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon,
and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt
at Ashtaroth in Edrei:
5 On this side of the Yardan
(Jordan), in the land of Moab, began
Musa (Moses) to declare this Torah,
1 Biblical month of Shevat.
343
saying,
6 hwhy our Elohim spoke unto us in
Horeb, saying, You have dwelt long
enough in this Mount:
7 Turn and set on your journey, and
go to the Mount of the Amorites, and
unto all the places near thereunto, in
the plain, in the hills, and in the vale,
and in the south, and by the sea side,
to the land of the Canaanites, and
unto Lebanon unto the great river, the
river Euphrates.
8 Behold, I have set the land before
you: go in and possess the land which
hwhy swore unto your ahvot (fathers),
Abraham, Yah’sac (Isaac), and
Ya’acob (Jacob), to give unto them
and to their seed after them.
9 And I spoke to you at that time,
saying, I am not able to sustain you by
myself.
10 hwhy your Elohim has multiplied
you, and, behold, you are this day as
the stars of shamayim (heavens) for
multitude.
11 hwhy Elohim of your ahvot
(fathers) make you a thousand times2
so many more as you are, and bless
you, as he has promised you.
12 How can I myself alone bear your
pressure, and your burden, and your
strife?
13 Take you wise men, and
understanding, and known among
your tribes, and I will make them rulers
over you.
14 And you answered me, and said,
2 If we multiply this literal number into four
million people including men, women and
children that came out of Egypt we arrive at a
figure of four billion. We do know that YHWH’s
word is true, and many people in the world
today may carry Hebrew blood without
knowing about it.
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
the thing which you have spoken is
good for us to do.
15 So I took the chief of your tribes,
wise men, and known, and made them
heads over you, captains over
thousands, and captains over
hundreds, and captains over fifties,
and captains over tens, and officers
among your tribes.
16 And I charged your judges at that
time, saying, hear the causes between
your brethren, and judge righteously
between every man and his brother,
and the foreigner that is with him.
17 You shall not show partiality for
persons in judgment; but you shall
hear the small as well as the great;
you shall not be intimidated by the
face1 of the man; for the judgment
belongs to Elohim and if it is too
difficult a case then bring it to me, and
I will hear it.
18 And I commanded you at that
time all the things which you should
do.
19 And when we departed from
Horeb, we went through all that
exceedingly dangerous desert, which
you saw by the way of the mountain of
the Amorites, as hwhy our Elohim
commanded us; and we came to
Kadesh-Barnea.
20 And I said unto you, you have
come into Amorite hill country, which
hwhy our Elohim will give to us.
21 Behold, hwhy your Elohim has
laid the land before you: go up and
possess it, as hwhy Elohim of your
ahvot (fathers) has said unto you; do
not be afraid, neither be discouraged.
1 The word panayim in the Hebrew here
reflects status in society. This would be one
who is rich and well known so that right ruling
can still be conducted.
344
22 And you came near unto me
every one of you, and said, we will
send men before us, and they shall
spy out the land, and bring us a report
by what way we should go in, and into
what cities we shall come.
23 And the saying pleased me well:
and I took twelve men of you, one of a
tribe:
24 And they prepared and went up
into the mountain, and came unto the
valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 And they took of the fruit of the
land in their hands, and brought it
down unto us, and brought us word
again, and said, It is a good land
which hwhy our Elohim will give us.
26 Not withstanding you would not
go up, but rebelled against the
commandment of hwhy your Elohim:
27 And you complained in your tents,
and said, because hwhy hated us, he
has brought out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), to deliver us into
the hand of the Amorites, to destroy
us.
28 What is going to happen to us?
Our brethren have discouraged our
heart, saying, the people is greater
and taller than we; the cities are great
and walled up to shamayim (heavens);
and moreover we have seen the sons
of the Anakims there.
29 Then I said responded to you, do
not be terrified, neither be afraid of
them.
30 hwhy your Elohim who goes
before you, he shall fight for you,
according to all that he did for you in
Mitzrayim (Egypt) before your eyes;
31 And in the desert, where You had
seen how hwhy your Elohim bore you,
as a man will bear his son, in all the
way that you went, until you came into
this place.
32 Yet in this thing you did not
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
believe hwhy your Elohim,
33 Who went in the way before you,
to search you out a place to pitch your
tents in, in fire by night, to show you
by what way you should go, and in a
cloud by day.
34 And when hwhy heard this He
was angry, and took an oath, saying,
35 Surely there shall not one of these
men of this evil generation see that
good land, which I swore to give unto
their ahvot (fathers),
36 Except Caleb1 the son of
Yephunneh; he shall see it, and to him
will I give the land that he has set his
foot upon, and to his children, because
he has completely followed hwhy.
37 Also hwhy was angry with me for
your sakes, saying, you also shall not
go in there.
38 But Yahushua (Joshua) the son of
Nun, which stands before you, he shall
go in there: encourage him: for he
shall cause Yah’sar’el (Israel) to inherit
it.2
39 Moreover your children, which
you said would die on the way, and
your children, which in that day had no
knowledge between good and evil,
they shall go in there, and to them will
I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 But as for you, turn back, and
take your journey into the desert by
the way of the Sea of Reeds.
1 northward.
Caleb was from the tribe of Judah, therefore
he enters the land first. This is the sign of
Judah, who would inherit the land and enter it
first as they did in 1948. The order is
important, Yahudah is mentioned first showing
us Yahudah will enter in the land first followed
by Ephraim (Yahushua, the son of Nun was
from the from the tribe of Ephraim).
2 The sign for Ephraim and his inheritance yet
to come.
345
41 Then you answered and said unto
me, we have sinned against hwhy, we
will go up and fight, according to all
that hwhy our Elohim commanded us.
And when you had girded on every
man his weapons of war, you were
ready to go up into the hill.
42 And hwhy said unto me, Say unto
them, do not go up, neither fight; for I
am not with you; as you will be
defeated.
43 So I spoke unto you; and you
would not hear, but rebelled against
the commandment of hwhy, and you
went up proudly into the hill.
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in
that mountain, came out against you,
and chased you, as bees do, and
drove you back in Seir, even unto
Hormah.
45 And you returned and wept before
hwhy; but hwhy would not listen to
your voice, nor give any attention to
you.
46 So you stayed in Kadesh many
days, according unto the days that you
stayed there.
Chapter 2
1 Then we turned, and set out for our
journey into the desert by the way of
the Sea of Reeds, as hwhy instructed
me: and we went around Mount Seir
many days.
2 And hwhy spoke unto me, saying,
3 You have gone around this
mountain long enough: now turn
4 And command the people, saying,
You are to pass through the coast of
your brethren the children of Esav,
which dwell in Seir; and they shall be
afraid of you: take good heed unto
yourselves therefore:
5 Meddle not with them; for I will not
give you of any of their land, no, not so
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
much as a foot breadth; because I
have given Mount Seir unto Esav for a
possession.
6 You shall buy food from them for
money, that you may eat; and you
shall also buy mayim (water) of them
for money, that you may drink.
7 For hwhy your Elohim has blessed
you in all the works of your hand: he
knows your walking through this great
desert: these forty years hwhy your
Elohim has been with you; You have
lacked nothing.
1 against them, to destroy them from
8 And when we passed by from our
brethren the children of Esav, which
dwelt in Seir, through the way of the
plain from Eilat, and from Etzyon-
gaber, we turned and passed by the
way of the desert of Moab.
9 And hwhy said unto me, do not
harass the Moabites, neither provoke
them to war: for I will not give you of
their land for a possession; because I
have given Ar unto the children of Lot
for a possession.
10 The Emims2 dwelt therein in times
past, a people great, and many, and
tall, as the Anakims;
11 Which also were accounted
giants, as the Anakims; but the
Moabites call them Emites.
12 The Horims also dwelt in Seir
beforetime; but the children of Esav
succeeded them, when they had
destroyed them from before them, and
1
We see the scribal gap again in verse 8. This
is a pause to show us what follows.
2 Rephaites are a people who were very tall
like giants. Og was also from the same race
Dev 3:11.
346
dwelt in their stead; as Yah’sar’el
(Israel) did unto the land of his
possession, which hwhy gave unto
them.
13 Now rise up, said I, and get you
over the wadi zered. And we went
over the wadi zered.
14 And the space, in which we came
from Kadesh-Barnea, until we were
come over the wadi zered, was thirty
eight years; until all the generation of
the men of war were wasted out from
among the host, as hwhy sware unto
them.
15 For indeed the hand of hwhy was
among the host, until they were
consumed.
16 So it came to pass, when all the
men of war were consumed and dead
from among the people,
17 That hwhy spoke unto me,
saying,
18 Today you are going to cross the
border of Moab. That is Ar.3
19 And when You come nigh over
against the children of Ammon, do not
contend with them, nor meddle with
them: for I will not give you of the land
of the children of Ammon any
possession; because I have given it
unto the children of Lot for a
possession.
20 (That also was accounted a land
of giants: giants dwelt therein in old
time; and the Ammonites call them
Zamzummites;
21 A people great, and many, and
tall, as the Anakims; but hwhy
destroyed them before them; and they
succeeded them, and dwelt in their
stead:

the Dead Sea.
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
22 As he did to the children of Esav,
which dwelt in Seir, when he
destroyed the Horites1 from before
them; and they succeeded them, and
dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
23 And the Avims which dwelt in
Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the
Caphtorims, which came forth out of
Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in
their stead.)
24 Get up, take your journey, and
pass over the river Arnon: behold, I
have given into your hand Sihon the
Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his
land: begin to possess it, and engage
him for war.
25 This day will I begin to put the
dread of you and the fear of you upon
the nations that are under the whole
shamayim (heavens), who shall hear
report of you, and shall shiver and
shake because of you.
26 And I sent messengers out of the
desert of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of
Heshbon with words of shalom
(peace), saying,
27 Let me pass through your land: I
will go along by the high way, I will
neither turn unto the right hand nor to
the left.
28 You shall sell me food for money
that I may eat; and give me mayim
(waters) for money, that I may drink:
only I will pass through on my feet;
29 (As the children of Esav which
dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which
dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall
pass over Yardan (Jordan) into the
land which hwhy our Elohim gives us.
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would
not let us pass by him: for hwhy your
Elohim hardened his ruach, and made
his heart obstinate, that he might
1 Another race of giants.
347
deliver him into your hand, to this very
day.
31 And hwhy said unto me, Behold, I
have begun to give Sihon and his land
before you: begin to possess, that You
may inherit his land.
32 Then Sihon came out against us,
he and all his people, to fight at
Yahaz.
33 And hwhy our Elohim delivered
him before us; and we struck him
down with his sons, and all his people.
34 And we took all his cities at that
time, and utterly destroyed the men,
and the women, and the little ones, of
every city, we left none to remain.
35 Only the cattle we took for a
plunder unto ourselves, and the spoil
of the cities which we took.
36 From Aroer, which is by the brink
of the river of Arnon, and from the city
that is by the river, even unto Gilead,
there was not one city too strong for
us, hwhy our Elohim delivered all unto

of Ammon You came not, nor unto any

1 Then we turned, and went up the
way to Bashan: and Og 2 the king of
Bashan came out against us, he and
all his people, to battle at Edrei.
2 And hwhy said unto me, Fear him
not: for I will deliver him, and all his
people, and his land, into your hand;
and You shall do unto him as You did
unto Sihon king of the Amorites, who
dwelt at Heshbon.
3 So hwhy our Elohim delivered into

our hands Og also, the king of
Bashan, and all his people: and we
struck him down until not a single
survivor was left.
4 And we took all his cities at that
time, there was not a city which we
took not from them, sixty cities, all the
region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in
Bashan.
5 All these cities were fenced with
high walls, gates, and bars; beside
unwalled towns a great many.
6 And we utterly destroyed them, as
we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon,
utterly destroying the men, women,
and children, of every city.
7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of
the cities, we took for a prey to
ourselves.
8 And we took at that time out of the
hand of the two kings of the Amorites
the land that was on this side Yardan
(Jordan), ‘from the river of Arnon unto
Mount Hermon.
9 Which Hermon the Sidonians call
Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;
10 All the cities of the plain, and all
Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah
and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og
in Bashan.
11 For only Og king of Bashan
remained of the remnant of giants;
behold, his sarcophagus was made of
iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children
of Ammon? Nine cubits1 was the
length thereof, and four cubits the
breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
12 And this land, which we
possessed at that time, from Aroer,
which is by the river Arnon, and half
Mount Gilead, and the cities thereof,
gave I unto the Reubenites and to the
Gadites.

13.5 feet long and six feet wide.
348
13 And the rest of Gilead, and all
Bashan, being the kingdom of Og,
gave I unto the half tribe of
Manashsheh; all the region of Argob,
with all Bashan, which was called the
land of giants.
14 Yair the son of Manashsheh took
all the country of Argob unto the
coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and
called them after his own name,
Bashan-havoth-yair, unto this day.
15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
16 And unto the Reubenites and unto
the Gadites I gave from Gilead even
unto the river Arnon half the valley,
and the border even unto the river
Yabbok, which is the border of the
children of Ammon;
17 The plain also, and Yardan
(Jordan), and the coast thereof, from
Kinnereth even unto the sea of the
plain, even the salt sea, under Ashwill-
pisgah eastward.
18 And I commanded you at that
time, saying, hwhy your Elohim has
given you this land to possess it: you
shall pass over armed before your
brethren the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), all that are meet for the war.
19 But your wives, and your little
ones, and your cattle, (for I know that
you have much cattle,) shall abide in
your cities which I have given you;
20 Until hwhy has given victory unto
your brethren, as well as unto you,
and until they also possess the land
which hwhy your Elohim has given
them beyond Yardan (Jordan) and
then shall you return every man unto
his possession, which I have given
you.
21 And I commanded Yahushua
(Joshua) at that time, saying, Your

so shall hwhy do unto all the

23 And I besought hwhy at that time,
saying,
24 O Adon hy (YAH) hwhy, You
have begun to show your servant your
greatness, and your mighty hand: for
what El (Power) is there in shamayim
(heaven) or in earth, that can do
according to your works, and
according to your strength?
25 I pray you, let me go over, and
see the good land that is beyond
Yardan (Jordan), that goodly
mountain, and Lebanon.
26 But hwhy was angry with me for
your sakes, and would not listen to
me: and hwhy said unto me, enough
of this; speak no more unto me of this
matter.
27 Get up into the top of Pisgah, and
take a good look westward, and
northward, and southward, and
eastward, for You will not be allowed
to go over the Yardan (Jordan).
28 But charge Yahushua (Joshua),
and encourage him, and strengthen
him: for he shall go over before this
people, and he shall cause them to
inherit the land which You shall see.

1 Now therefore listen, O Yah’sar’el

judgments, which I teach you, for to do
them, that you may live, and go in and

of your ahvot (fathers) has given you.
2 You shall not add1 unto the word
which I command you, neither shall
you diminish from it, that you may
keep the commandments of hwhy
your Elohim which I command you.
3 Your eyes have seen what hwhy
did because of Baal-peor: for all the
men that followed Baal-peor, hwhy
your Elohim has destroyed 2 them
from among you.
4 But you that did remain faithful to
hwhy your Elohim are alive every one
of you this day.3
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes
and judgments, even as hwhy my
Elohim commanded me, that you
should do so in the land which you are
about to enter and possess.
6 And you shall guard them and do
them; for this is your wisdom 4 and
your understanding in the sight of the
nations, which shall hear all these
statutes, and say, Surely this great
nation is a wise and understanding5

earth is our faithfulness to YHWH’s Torah and
Messiah. The rest is commentary.

who has Elohim so close to them, as
hwhy our Elohim is in all things that
we call upon him for?
8 And what nation is there so great,
that has statutes and right rulings so
righteous as all this Torah,1 which I set
before you this day?
9 Only pay careful attention lest You
forget the things which your eyes2
have seen, and lest they depart from
your heart all the days of your life: but
teach them your sons, and your sons'

10 Specially the day that You stood
before hwhy your Elohim in Horeb,
when hwhy said unto me, Gather to
me the people together, and I will
make them hear my words, that they
may learn to fear me all the days that
they shall live upon the earth, and that

11 And you came near and stood

bigger Islamic nations roundabout by being

been faithful to Israel because of His
covenants.

our faith must be steadfast irrespective of

13 And he declared unto you his
covenant,5 which he commanded you

and He6 wrote them upon two tablets
of stone.
14 And hwhy commanded me at that
time to teach you statutes and
judgments, that you might do them in
the land where you go over to enter

grave sin and that includes bowing down to

YHWH. Usually, their children grow up to hate
YHWH too, so the judgments pass to the

1 The enlarged Hebrew letter Ayin and the
raised Dalet in the text.
The ayin stands for the eye and we know we
were to ‘hear and do’. You cannot hear through
the eyes but you hear through the ears and
establish through the heart. If we look and
establish our faith, then chances are we may
fall as Yahushua said, ‘An evil and adulterous
generation seeks after a sign’ in Mattityahu
16:4, as the sign is visual. If your faith is built
upon miracles then chances are it is not on a
firm foundation since miracles can be falsified.
Just look back to Egypt where false miracles
were performed by the magicians to outdo
Moses’ real miracles performed by YHWH. To
‘Hear and Do’ is a term that really means we
will obey the commandments in the Torah.
Yahushua spoke about this many times too.
See Luka 11:28- below a reference to this
‘Hear and Do.’ But he said, Yes rather, blessed
are they that ‘hear the word’ of Elohim, and
keep it. Yahushua qualifies that Torah keepers
are blessed who believed in Him.
The letter Dalet is raised and is the picture for
a Door, this Door is Yahushua. (Yahuchannan
(John) 10:9). If you have come to salvation
through Him, then you have entered the
correct door. However, many in the world are
still entering false doors of other religions
looking for ways to eternal life. This verse is
repeated by the Orthodox Jewish people twice
daily and it contains the signature of the
Messiah, who is YHWH.
2 The Jewish people recite this twice daily
during their prayers. This is our creed and we

the testimonies, and the statutes, and

has commanded you?
21 Then You shall say unto your son,
We were Pharaoh's bondmen in
Mitzrayim (Egypt);4 and hwhy brought
us out of Mitzrayim (Egypt) with a

22 And hwhy sent signs and
wonders, great and sore, upon

upon all his household, before our

23 And he brought us out from there,
that he might bring us in, to give us the

shall You take unto your son.
4 For they will turn away your son
from following me, that they may serve

Chapter 8
1 All the commandments which I
command you this day you shall
observe to do, that you may live, and
exceedingly increase, and go in and
possess the land which hwhy swore
unto your ahvot (fathers).
2 And You shall remember all the
way which hwhy your Elohim led you
these forty years in the desert, to
humble you, and to prove you, to know
what was in your heart, whether You
would guard His commandments, or
not.
3 And he humbled you, and suffered
you to hunger, and fed you with
manna, which You knew not, neither
did your ahvot (fathers) know; that he
might make you know that man will not
live by lechem (bread) only,1 but by
every word that proceeds out of the
mouth of hwhy will man live.

neither did your feet swell, these forty
years. 2
5 You shall also consider in your
heart, that, as a man chastens his son,
so hwhy your Elohim chastens you.3

commandments of hwhy your Elohim,
to keep the halacha (commandments)

of His halachot (ways of Torah)4 and
to fear him.
7 For hwhy your Elohim brings you
into a good land, a land of brooks of
mayim (water), of fountains and
depths that spring out of valleys and
hills;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and
vines, and fig trees, and
pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and
honey;
9 A land wherein You shall eat
lechem (bread) without scarcity, You
shall not lack any thing in it; a land
whose stones are iron, and out of
whose hills You can mine copper.
10 When You have eaten and are
full, then You shall bless hwhy your
Elohim for the good land which He has
given you. 5
11 Beware that You forget not hwhy
your Elohim, in not keeping his
commandments, and his judgments,
and his statutes, which I command
you this day: 6
4 All the commandments in the Torah are valid
for all times. As for the Temple related
sacrifices, these we are not able to do now
without a Temple. However, we are able to do
the others which do not require a Temple. We
can follow the lead of the prophet Dani’el who
kept them while in exile in Iraq. When the 3rd
Temple is built in the millennium, then the
sacrifices will resume.
5 The Jewish people say a blessing after being
full as YHWH commanded us to eat then be
thankful. The blessing before meals is very
short and a long prayer before meals is
unscriptural and not done by the Hebrews.
6 Even though YHWH repeats Himself so many
churches do not want to know and obey the
Torah, so judgment is coming on them. There
is a repercussion for not keeping the
commandments. The results are that there will

are full, and have built good houses,
and dwelt therein;

flocks multiply, and your silver and

14 Then your heart be lifted up, and
You forget hwhy your Elohim, which
brought you forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), from the Beyth
(house) of slavery;

and terrible desert, wherein were

mention missed opportunity for the first

There is an amazing sod (hidden) mystery in
this. Jewish Israel gives thanks after they are
full and not before meals as Christians do.
While the Messiah comes and rejects many of
the Christians as unfit for the kingdom in
Matthew 7:21, here we are shown a very
interesting picture, that YHWH has already
accepted all of Israel unto salvation through
the Messiah. The mention of poisonous snakes
and scorpions is a picture of the world that
Jewish Israel is right now facing. These are the
satanic forces such as radical Islam, and other
oppressors of the world system, but Israel
gives thanks right at the end of the meal. Why
at the end? So they glorify YHWH, when He
saves them, completely, through His Messiah.
They come to experience His goodness first,
and see the fullness before they all give thanks
to YHWH for what is yet to come. We are
shown a glimpse of that in Zechariah 12:10
when Jewish Israel cry at not recognizing or
realizing all along that Yahushua is their
Messiah. The Christians give thanks before
their meals because they would come to the
revelation first as the prophetic House of

16 Who fed you in the desert with
manna, which your ahvot (fathers)
knew not, that he might humble you,
and that he might prove you, to do you
good at your latter end;
17 And You say in your heart, My
ability and the strength of my hand has
gotten me this wealth.
18 But You shall remember hwhy
your Elohim: for it is He that gives you
power to get wealth, that he may
establish His covenant which he swore
unto your ahvot (fathers), as it is this
day. 2
19 And it shall be, if You do at all
forget hwhy your Elohim, and do the
halachot of other elohim, and serve
them, and pay homage to them, I
testify against you this day that you
shall surely be destroyed. 3

destroyed in front of you, so shall you
perish; because you would not be
obedient unto the voice of hwhy your
Elohim.
Israel, since this is the requirement of Jeremiah
31:33. However, Jewish Israel’s Torah keepers
are also going to enter the kingdom and are
not going to be left out, in fact they enter first.
They do not need the gospel of Christianity and
their lawless Messiah as Christendom’s fathers
have decided, because Judah already has
YHWH on their side. The Covenants require
this deal on YHWH’s end to be upheld which
He will.
2 Our wellbeing, our wealth, in fact everything
we have is dependent on the faithfulness of
YHWH to the covenant He made with our
forefathers. We only receive the blessing by
being part of that covenant and fulfilling the
obligations of it.

You provoked hwhy your Elohim to

You did depart out of the land of

against hwhy.

to wrath, so that hwhy was angry with

tables of the covenant4 which hwhy

drink mayim (water).5

tables of stone written with the finger
of Elohim; 6 and on them was written
according to all the words, which hwhy
spoke with you in the Mount out of the
midst of the fire in the day of the
assembly.
11 And it came to pass at the end of
forty days and forty nights, that hwhy
gave me the two tables of stone, even

saying, I have seen this people, and,

and had made yourselves a molten

extremely angry against you to destroy
you. But hwhy listened to me at that
time also.
20 And hwhy was very angry with
Aharon to have destroyed him: and I
prayed for Aharon also the same time.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which
you had made, smashed it and then
burnt it with fire, and ground it very
small, even until it was as small as
dust: and I cast the dust thereof into
the stream that descended out of the
Mount.
22 And at Teberah, and at Massah,
and at Kibroth-hattaavah, you
provoked hwhy to wrath.
23 Likewise when hwhy sent you
from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, go up
and possess the land which I have
given you; even then you rebelled
against the commandment of hwhy
your Elohim, and you believed Him
not, nor paid any attention to his voice.

said, O Adon hy (YAH) hwhy, destroy

of the children of Yaakan to Mosera:
there Aharon died, and there he was

stead.
7 From there they journeyed unto
Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to

8 At that time hwhy separated the
tribe of Lewi, to bear the ark of the

bless in his name, unto this day.
9 Therefore Lewi has no part or
inheritance with his brethren, hwhy is
his inheritance, accordingly as hwhy

evil today are standing to be judged. They are
committing a grave sin against YHWH, calling
Him a liar. They will stand accountable on the
Day of Judgment and will have to answer for
their sin. This is because they have judged
Torah, in fact the Torah will judge them and
find them guilty and reckless.

great and terrible things, which your
eyes have seen.
22 Your ahvot (fathers) went down
into Mitzrayim (Egypt) seventy
persons; and now hwhy your Elohim
has made you as the stars of
shamayim (heavens) for multitude.
Chapter 11
1 Therefore You shall love hwhy
your Elohim, and keep his charge, and
his statutes, and his judgments, and
his commandments, all the days.
2 And know you this day: for I speak
not with your children which have not
known, and which have not seen the
chastisement of hwhy your Elohim,
His greatness, His mighty hand, and
His stretched out arm,
3 And His miracles, and His acts,
which he did in the midst of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) unto Pharaoh the king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and unto all his
land;
4 And what he did unto the army of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), unto their horses,
and to their chariots; how he made the
mayim (water) of the Sea of Reeds to
overflow them as they pursued after
you, and how hwhy has destroyed
them unto this day;
5 And what he did unto you in the
desert, until you came into this place;
6 And what he did unto Dathan and
Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of
Reuben: how the earth opened her
mouth, and swallowed them up, and
their households, and their tents, and
all the substance that was in their
possession, in the midst of all
Yah’sar’el (Israel):
7 But your eyes have seen all the
great acts of hwhy which he did.
8 Therefore shall you keep all the
commandments which I command you
this day, that you may be strong, and
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
go in and possess the land, where you
go to possess it;
9 And that you may prolong your
days in the land, which hwhy swore
unto your ahvot (fathers) to give unto
them and to their seed, a land that
flows with milk and honey.
10 For the land, where You are going
in to possess it, is not as the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), from where you
came out, where You sowed your
seed, and watered it with your feet, as
a garden of herbs:
11 But the land, where you go to
possess it, is a land of hills and
valleys, and drinks mayim (water) of
the rain of shamayim (heavens):
12 A land which hwhy your Elohim
cares for: the eyes of hwhy your
Elohim are always upon it, from the
beginning of the year even unto the
end of the year.
13 And it shall come to pass, if you
listen carefully to my commandments
which I command you this day, to love
hwhy your Elohim, and to serve him
with all your heart and with all your
soul,
14 That I will give you the rain of your
land in his due season, the first rain
and the latter rain,1 that You may
gather in your corn, and your wine,
and your oil.
15 And I will send grass in your fields
for your cattle, that You may eat and
be full.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that
your heart be not deceived, and you
turn aside, and serve other Elohim,
and worship them;
17 And then hwhy's wrath be ignited

against you, and he shut up the
shamayim (heavens), that there be no
rain, and that the land yield not her
fruit; and lest you perish quickly from
off the good land which hwhy gives
you.
18 Therefore shall you lay up these
my words in your heart and in your
soul, and bind them for a sign upon
your hand, that they may be as
frontlets between your eyes.
19 And you shall teach them your
children, speaking of them when You
sit in your Beyth (house), and when
You walk by the way, when You lie
down, and when You rise up.2
20 And You shall write them upon
the door posts of your Beyth (house),
and upon your gates:
21 That your days may be multiplied,
and the days of your children, in the
land which hwhy swore unto your
ahvot (fathers) to give them, as the
days of shamayim (heavens) upon the
earth.
22 For if you shall carefully keep all
these commandments which I
command you, to do them, to love
hwhy your Elohim, to walk in all his
halacha (commandments), and to
cling unto him;
23 Then will hwhy drive out all these
nations from before you, and you shall
possess greater nations and mightier
than yourselves.
24 Every place whereon the soles of
your feet shall tread shall be your's:
from the desert and Lebanon, from the
river, the river Euphrates, even unto
the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
25 There shall no man be able to

you shall tread upon, as he has said
unto you.

the commandments of hwhy your

which I command you this day, to go
after other elohim, which you have not

29 And it shall come to pass, when
hwhy your Elohim has brought you in
unto the land where You are going to
possess it, that You shall put the
blessing upon Mount Gerizim, and the
curse upon Mount Ebal.3

Yardan (Jordan), by the way where
the sun goes down, in the land of the

31 For you shall pass over Yardan
(Jordan) to go in to possess the land
which hwhy your Elohim is going to
give you, and you shall possess it, and
dwell therein.
32 And you shall observe to do all
the statutes and judgments which I set
before you this day.
Chapter 12
1 These are the statutes and
judgments, which you shall observe to
do in the land, which hwhy Elohim of
your ahvot (fathers) will give you to
possess it, all the days that you live
upon the earth.
2 You shall utterly destroy all the
places, wherein the nations which you
shall possess served their mighty
ones, upon the high mountains, and
upon the hills, and under every green

altars, and break their pillars, and burn
their asherah poles with fire; and you

Israel will go through being dispersed in the
nations as the Mountain is a symbol of a

by the Samaritans to worship YHWH and they
are related to the 10 Northern tribes who
ended up going into exile into the Assyrian
Empire. The town Shechem is near Gerizim
where the Samaritans built their Temple with
their own priesthood. Yahushua also used this
site for the first center.

5 But unto the place which hwhy
your Elohim shall choose out of all
your tribes to put his name2 there,
even unto his habitation shall you
seek, and there You shall enter:
6 and there you shall bring your burnt
offerings, and your sacrifices, and your
tithes, and heave offerings of your
hand, and your vows, and your freewill
offerings, and the bechor (firstborn) of
your herds and of your flocks:

hwhy your Elohim, and you shall
rejoice in all that you put your hand
unto, you and your households,
wherein hwhy your Elohim has
blessed you.
8 You shall not do after all the things
that we do here this day, every man
whatsoever is right in his own eyes.3
9 For you are not as yet come to the
rest and to the inheritance, which
hwhy your Elohim will give you.
10 But when you go over the Yardan
(Jordan), and dwell in the land which
hwhy your Elohim gives you to inherit,
and when He gives you rest from all
your enemies round about, so that you
dwell in safety;
1 YHWH instructs us not to use the names of
any false elohim. Regardless of this, Christians
use the false names that they were taught by
the church fathers. Names such as Lord and
God, and Arabic Christians use the name of
Allah, which we are commanded not to.

enlarge your border, as he has
promised you, and You shall say, I will
eat meat, because your soul longs to

Elohim has chosen to put his name
there be too far from you, then You
shall slaughter of your herd and of
your flock, which hwhy has given
you,1 as I have commanded you, and
You shall eat in your gates whatsoever
your soul desires.

is eaten, so You shall eat them: the
unclean2 and the clean shall eat of
them alike.
1 Kosher variety, Israelites never breed pigs or
any of the other unclean animals.
2 This is kosher food that became unclean. For
instance, if a person comes in contact with the
dead and becomes unclean, then touches the
animal meant for sacrifice, it would be
considered unclean. That meant that the
kosher animal was no longer fit to be offered
for sacrifice. It could still be slaughtered and
eaten at home.
369
23 Only be sure that You eat not the
blood: for the blood is the life; and You
may not eat the life with the flesh.3

it upon the earth as mayim (water).
25 You shall not eat it; that it may go
well with you, and with your children
after you, when You shall do that
which is right in the sight of hwhy.

You have, and your vows, You shall
take, and go unto the place which

offerings, both meat and the blood,
upon the altar of hwhy your Elohim:
and the blood of your sacrifices shall
be poured out upon the altar of hwhy

which I command you, that it may go

which is good and right in the sight of
hwhy your Elohim.

off the nations from before you, where
You go to possess them, and You

are not snared by following them, after
that they be destroyed from before
you; and that You enquire not after
their elohim, saying, How did these
nations serve their elohim? Even so
will I do likewise.

invented the Jewish Messiah as a European

7 Namely, of the elohim of the people
which are roundabout you, near to

hand shall be first upon him to put him
to death,4 and afterwards the hand of
all the people.

stones, that he die; because he has
sought to thrust you away from hwhy
your Elohim, which brought you out of

common to have brothers and sisters from

happy to marry unbelievers. They even sit in
ceremonies dedicated to false elohim.

behold, if it be truth, and the thing
certain, that such abomination is
wrought among you;

with the edge of the sword.

of it into the midst of the street thereof,
and shall burn the city, and all its
plunder as a burnt offering unto hwhy

ruins forever; it shall not be built again.

7 However the following animals you
shall not eat that chew the cud or have
divided hoofs such as the camel, and
the hare, and the rabbit: for they chew
the cud, but divide not the hoof;
therefore they are unclean unto you.
8 And the pig,4 because its hoof is
divided, but it does not chew the cud,
it is unclean unto you: you shall not
eat of their meat, nor touch their dead
carcass.
1 We must avoid what the heathen do for the
dead when they mourn them. Part of their
custom is to cut themselves.
2 Yet Christendom will not stop eating pigs and
other unclean species such as shellfish, crabs
and lobsters, which are all forbidden in Torah.
3 YHWH starts to name kosher animals so that
we cannot make a mistake of what is clean and
unclean.

21 You shall not eat of any thing that
dies of itself: You shall give it unto the
foreigner that is in your gates,2 that he
may eat it; or You may sell it unto an
alien: for You are a set-apart people
unto hwhy your Elohim. You shall not
cook a kid in his mother's milk.
22 You shall truly tithe all the
increase of your seed, that the field
brings forth year by year.
1 Eat any fish with fins and scales. It should be
noted that certain fish such as the Ray are
unclean, and many people may not know this,
but some other varieties like Shark and Dolphin
are also unclean.

did not bleed properly due to dying in some
way such as being hunted.

woman, be sold unto you, and serve
you six years; then in the seventh year
You shall let him go free from you.4

from you, You shall not let him go
away empty:

Elohim year by year in the place which
hwhy shall choose, You and your

therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or

Chapter 16
1 Look intently2 at the crescent for
the new moon of Abib, and keep the
Passover unto hwhy your Elohim: for
in the month of Abib hwhy your Elohim
brought you forth out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) by night.
2 You shall therefore sacrifice the
Passover unto hwhy your Elohim, of
the flock and the herd, in the place
which hwhy shall choose to place his
name there.
3 You shall eat no leavened lechem
1 One might ask how you can eat blood while
in reality you can only drink it. The answer is
simple, many nations take the blood of animals
and put it into cakes and mixes and they then
eat it like that.
2 The Hebrew word here is more accurately
translated ‘look narrowly,’ at the crescent for
the month of Abib as that determines the
month of Passover and the beginning of the
new biblical year. There is a lot of debate
whether this is to be a conjunction or crescent.
It is clear from these scriptures that the
Israelites looked at the crescent moon and
would never be able to see the molad or the
black moon. The other scripture that gives
credibility to this method is the one in First
Samuel 20:5. This is where King David is
talking about the New Moon coming the next
day, which shows us that in King David’s time
they had a way of knowing the arrival of the
New Moon with a calendar. Plus, we also know
that in the time of the first century Temple, the
moon was confirmed by looking at the
crescent. They also then checked back using a
calendar, which the Temple priests had in their
possession to confirm dates of the Passover,
and the Biblical New Year.

land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) all the days
of your life.

there any thing of the flesh, which You
sacrifice the first day at even, remain
all night until the morning.

within any of your gates, which hwhy

in, there You shall sacrifice the
Passover at even, at the going down
of the sun, at the season that You
came forth out of Mitzrayim (Egypt).

the place which hwhy your Elohim
shall choose: and You shall turn in the

and the Lewite that is within your

You shall observe and do these

14 When You have come into the
land which hwhy your Elohim gives
you, and shall possess it, and shall
dwell therein, and shall say, I will set a
king over me, like as all the nations
that are about me;3
1We had the great court of the Sanhedrin
which had a number of judges to decide
matters. See Leviticus 20:14 footnote.
2 The symbols of the right and left are quite
important in Torah. They signify the right being
the side of Judgment and Strength and the left
the side of mercy, love and victory. If one side
becomes too heavy then that can cause
unbalanced decisions. Both sides need to be
balanced out and they are balanced out by the
Tzadik (The Righteous one) who we know to
be the Messiah Yahushua, who is the mediator
of the covenant. So this is how the whole of
Scripture uses the Right and the Left.
3 This literally happened and came to pass as
Israel wanted a king over her and the prophet
377
15 You shall in any wise set him king
over you, whom hwhy your Elohim
shall choose: one from among your
brethren shall You set king over you:4
You may not set a foreigner over you,
which is not your brother.
16 But he shall not accumulate
horses for himself, nor cause the
people to return to Mitzrayim (Egypt),
to the end that he should accumulate
horses:5 forasmuch as hwhy has said
unto you, You shall henceforth return
no more that way.6
17 Neither shall he greatly increase
many wives7 for himself, that his heart
Samuel made Saul king over them. First Sam
10:1
4 The first king was Saul from the tribe of
Benjamin. Israel was to only set kings within
the twelve tribes and no outsider could be
king.
5 A king cannot be without an army so he was
allowed to have an army with thousands of
horses. But the idea here of accumulation or
multiplication with the word Rabbah is not
about multiplying at all but about becoming as
one like YHWH. The same problem occurred in
the first century when Yahushua rebuked the
Rabbi’s calling themselves ‘The Great one’ the
root word Rab, the same word used here
meaning they were now trying to replace the
authority of the Set-Apart one of Israel, that is
YHWH. It must be understood that in context
its not that you cannot have 2000 or 10,000
horses, but that you cannot try to make
yourself like the most High!
6 Note the mention of Egypt is important as it
clearly shows that the Pharaoh thought himself
like Elohim hence Egypt is mentioned.
7 This is the same principle as in verse 16. The
king can have many wives because Israel was
a polygamous society and that is the only way
they could multiply and increase the seed in
the earth. The idea here is that you must not
increase wives to forget YHWH. You could
have 5 fives or 15 wives and that would not be
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
turn not away: neither shall he
increase a great amount of silver and
gold for himself.1
18 And it shall be, when he sits upon
the throne of his kingdom, that he shall
write him a copy of this Torah2 in a
scroll out of that which is before the
a problem as long as you could provide for
their needs and be able to serve YHWH. This
does not break the concept of Yesod Ha Briah,
which is the idea of men and not YHWH.
The case of King Solomon having one thousand
wives shows us the problem was not the 1000
wives contrary to most scholar’s opinions or
biases but the fact that they turned his heart
away from YHWH because they were heathen.
So even If you being a believer marry a non-
believer, and she turns your heart away from
Elohim as can happen then that one wife is too
much.
We have a perfect example in scripture of this
one wife, who caused folly in Israel with King
Ahab and his wife Jezebel. She did more
damage in Israel bringing in Baalism then any
other woman. Proving that one wrong wife was
too much. Whereas if King Ahab had married
twenty righteous women there would have
been no problem.
Context is important. In Israel the argument is
not whether polygamy is allowed or not but it
is a reality we live. Even in the coming
messianic kingdom there will be polygamy. See
Isaiah 4:1, which tells us that the ratio will be
seven women to one man.
1 There is no problem with having large
amounts of silver and gold, since King Solomon
used this to build the Temple for YHWH. The
problem is what you do with the silver and
gold. Do you spend all your time thinking of it,
and forget YHWH? Don’t make an idol of what
you have. YHWH must always come first.

requirement of the Torah.

end that he may prolong his days in

1 The kohenim (priests) the Lewites,
and all the tribe of Lewi, shall have no

2 Therefore shall they have no
inheritance among their brethren:
hwhy is their inheritance, as He has
said unto them.
3 And this shall be the kohenim
(priests) due from the people, from
them that offer a sacrifice, whether it
be ox or sheep; and they shall give
unto the kohen (priest) the thigh, and
the two cheeks, and the stomach.

the first of the fleece of your sheep,

before hwhy.

of his family’s inheritance.

which hwhy your Elohim gives you,

abhorrent practices of those nations.1
10 There shall not be found among

his daughter in the fire, or that predicts
horoscopes, or a medium calling up
spirits, or an omen reader or a
sorcerer.
11 Or a magician casting spells, or a
medium with familiar spirits, or a
conjurer, or one speaking to the spirits
of the dead.
12 For all that do these things are
abhorrent practices unto hwhy: and
because of these abhorrent practices
hwhy your Elohim will drive them out
from before you.
13 You shall be blameless before
hwhy your Elohim.
14 For these nations, which You
shall possess, hearkened unto
astrologers, and unto omen readers:
but as for you, hwhy your Elohim has
not suffered you so to do.
15 hwhy your Elohim will raise up
unto you a Prophet from the midst of
you, of your brethren, like unto me;
you shall listen to him;2
16 According to all that You desired
of hwhy your Elohim in Horeb in the
day of the assembly, saying, Let me
not hear again the voice of hwhy my
Elohim, neither let me see this great
fire any more, that I die not.
17 And hwhy said unto me, They
have spoken well that which they have
spoken.
18 I will raise them up a Prophet3
from among their brethren,4 like unto
you, and will put my words in his
mouth; and he shall speak unto them
all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever will not listen to my words
which he shall speak in my name,5 I
will personally require it of him.
20 But the prophet, which shall
presume to speak a word in my name,
which I have not commanded him to
speak, or that shall speak in the name
of other elohim, even that prophet
shall die.
21 And if You say in your heart, How
shall we know the word which hwhy
has not spoken?
22 When a prophet speaks in the
name of hwhy, if the thing follows not,
nor comes to pass, that is the thing
which hwhy has not spoken, but the
prophet has spoken it presumptuously:
You shall not be afraid of him.

Chapter 19
1 When hwhy your Elohim has cut
off the nations, whose land hwhy your
Elohim gives you, and You succeed
them, and dwell in their cities, and in
their houses;
2 You shall separate three cities for
yourselves in the midst of your land,
which hwhy your Elohim gives you to
possess it.
3 You shall prepare a road way, and
divide the coasts of your land, which
hwhy your Elohim gives you to inherit,
into three parts, that any person who
kills another accidentally may find
protection there.
4 And this is the case of the one who
kills accidentally, who shall flee there,
and that he may live: Whosoever kills
his neighbour accidentally, for whom
he has no hatred;
5 As when a man goes into the wood
with his neighbour to cut wood, and he
raises the axe to cut down the etz
(tree), and his axe head cuts loose
from its holding, and strikes his
neighbour, that he dies as a result; he
shall flee unto one of those cities, and
live:
6 Lest the avenger of the blood
pursue the one who killed accidentally,
while his heart is hot, and overtake
him, because the way is long, and slay
him; whereas this is not a capital case
inasmuch as he hated him not before
the accident.
7 Wherefore I command you, saying,
You shall separate three cities for you.
8 And if hwhy your Elohim enlarge
your coast, as he has sworn unto your
ahvot (fathers), and give you all the
land which he promised to give unto
your ahvot (fathers);
9 If You shall keep all these
commandments to do them, which I
command you this day, to love hwhy
380
your Elohim, and to walk always in His
ways; then shall You add three cities
more for you, beside these three:
10 That innocent blood be not shed
in your land, which hwhy your Elohim
gives you for an inheritance, and so
blood be upon you.
11 But if any man hate his neighbour,
and lie in wait for him, and rise up
against him, and wound him mortally
that he die, and then flee into one of
these cities:
12 Then the elders of his city shall
send and fetch him from there, and
deliver him into the hand of the
avenger of blood, that he may die.1
13 Your eye shall not pity him, but
You shall put away the guilt of
innocent blood from Yah’sar’el (Israel),
that it may go well with you.
14 You shall not remove your
neighbour's landmark, which have
been defined according to your
inheritance, which You shall inherit in
the land that hwhy your Elohim gives
you to possess it.
15 One witness shall not rise up
against a man for any iniquity, or for
any sin, in any sin that he sins: at the
mouth of two witnesses, or at the
mouth of three witnesses, shall the
matter be established.

which are not of the cities of these

13 And she shall remove the clothing
before being captured, and shall
remain in your Beyth (house), and
have a period of mourning for her

and after that You may have sexual
relationship with her, and become her
husband, and she shall be your wife.

delight in her, then You shall send her
off where she will;3 but You shall not
sell her at all for money, You shall not
make merchandise of her, because
You have humiliated4 her.
2 Symbol of putting away her old life and
customs. When she is taken from ‘captivity,’
meaning she was in false worship and in her
old satanic ways but now she has her head
shaven to indicate that she is no longer under
the authority of her old husband whether
widow or single because her old husband was
her false elohim that she has been released
from. The new husband now covers her with a
fresh covering, puts on the garment of grace
on her, takes her to be his wife and she grows
on new hair and of course wearing a new
Hebrew head-covering to show new life,
honour and protection of her husband. Rabbi
Paulos also talks about this in First Corinthians
11:5, see footnote.
3 This means if there was an issue in the
marriage then a divorce could be sought early
in the marriage provided there was ground for
fraud or putting away for certain reasons. One
such reason could be that she was formally
married and you did not know this or she did
not tell you. However, after you marry her she
reveals this news which means she cannot be
your wife. So she has to be divorced as this is
adultery unless her former husband is dead.
4 The woman was divorced and would be
feeling rejected in ancient society and even in
many present societies, so our conduct
towards women must be above reproach.
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
15 If a man have two wives,1 one
beloved, and another hated, and they
have born him children, both the
beloved and the hated; and if the
bechor (firstborn) son was on the one
that was hated:
16 Then it shall be, when he makes
his sons to inherit that which he has,
that he may not make the son of the
beloved bechor (firstborn) before the
son of the hated, which is indeed the
bechor (firstborn):2
17 But he shall acknowledge the son
of the hated for the bechor (firstborn),
by giving him a double portion3 of all
that he has: for he is the beginning of
his strength; the right of the bechor
(firstborn) is his.
18 If a man has a stubborn and
rebellious son, which will not obey the
voice of his father, or the voice of his
mother, and that, when they have
chastened him, will not listen to them:
19 Then shall his father and his
mother lay hold on him, and bring him
out unto the elders of his city, and unto

This is what happened with Sarah and Hagar
already so the law is clarified. The firstborn son
of the principle wife e.g. Sarah was favoured
above Hagar’s son because she was the
principle wife. Even though Hagar’s son was
born first but could not be favoured above
Isaac as we see in Scriptures. The same
principle applies here. Just because your first
wife hates you and your second one loves you
that does not mean you show favouritism to
the children of the second wife, the sons of the
first wife being principle must come first.

sin worthy of death, and he be to be
put to death, and You hang him on a

that You may prolong your days.

sexual relations with her, and hate her,

sexual impropriety such as a past affair or
something similar. It can also be whoring.

towards his wife. Sadly this happens a lot in
the Eastern culture and men can become very
cruel to their wives. This can be witnessed first
hand in the Islamic culture where Muslims can
even kill their wives for this type of thing and
this can create lifelong feuds between clans.
In Israel YHWH allowed a hot headed man to
cool himself down therefore a provision was
made that if proven, it did not lead to divorce
as most think but the DEATH OF THE WOMAN.
Life is precious so we must think; is this what
we want for the sake of our hatred to kill
someone else! If it takes the death of someone
that you thought you loved to pacify your
anger, and then something is probably not
right with this type of person.
It is again a provision for what to do when a
husband has lost his love for his wife and is
burning with hatred. Many Christians and other
people discover the divorce law here but this is
not about divorce, yet YHWH is showing us
here, how to deal with the uncleanness that a
husband has found in his wife or it has been
made known to him after the marriage has
been consummated. For me this is not dealing
with divorce at all as we all thought but the
same principle as in Deuteronomy 22:13.
Where a husband finds no favour for his wife
and could not love her any longer, and he
started to hate his wife. Then, he becomes one
husband whose heart has become hard. So, he

there was actually no case of cutting of an
actual hand as in Israel people were not
deliberately made cripple but a sum of money
was exchanged as blood money. This is the
same as eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
Shemoth (Exo) 21:24 where no eye or tooth
was plucked. Yahushua referred to this action
in Matt 5:30. The right hand signifies strength
so here it shows too much strength can act in
judgment against the other person. This is the
right side of YHWH.

14 You shall not have in your Beyth
(house) different measuring
containers, a great and a small.
15 But You shall have an accurate
and right stone weight, and an
accurate and right measuring
container that your days may be
lengthened in the land which hwhy
your Elohim gives you.
16 For all that do such things, and all
that do unrighteously, are an
abomination unto hwhy your Elohim.
17 Remember what Amalek did unto
you by the way, when you were come
forth out of Mitzrayim (Egypt);
18 How he met you by the way, and
tried to cut off the rear,6 even all that
were tired behind you, when You were
faint and weary; and he feared not
Elohim.
19 Therefore it shall be, when hwhy
your Elohim has given you rest from
all your enemies round about, in the
land which hwhy your Elohim gives
you for an inheritance7 to possess it,
that You shall blot out the
remembrance of Amalek from under
shamayim (heavens); You shall not
forget it.

1 And it shall be, when You have
come into the land which hwhy your
Elohim is about to give you for an
inheritance, and possess it, and dwell
in it;
2 That You shall take of the first of all
the fruit of the earth, which You shall
bring of your land that hwhy your
Elohim is about to give you, and shall
put it in a basket, and shall go unto the
place which hwhy your Elohim shall
choose to place his name there.
3 And You shall go up to the kohen
(priest) that shall be in those days, and
say to them, I profess this day unto
hwhy your Elohim, that I have come
into the country which hwhy swore
unto our ahvot (fathers) to give us.
4 And the kohen (priest) shall take
the basket out of your hand, and set it
down before the altar of hwhy your
Elohim.
5 And You shall speak and say
before hwhy your Elohim, A

Mitzrayim (Egypt), and sojourned
there with a few, and became there a
nation, great, mighty, and numerous in
numbers:2

The ‘Aramean,’ reference here is to Jacob
(Beresheeth - Genesis 31:41).
2 You cannot be numerous if you have a
husband and a wife plus two children each.
Israel’s average was seven wives and fifty two
children in each family or one wife and several
concubines as lesser wives to give birth to
children. Look at Divre HaYamim Bet (2
Chronicles 13:21) where Abiyah had 14 wives
and 38 children, also see Divre HaYamim Bet
(2 Chronicles) 11:21 where Rehab'am had 78
wives and had 88 children.

Elohim of our ahvot (fathers), hwhy
heard our voice, and looked on our
affliction, and our labour, and our
oppression:
8 And hwhy brought us forth out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) with a mighty hand,
and with an outstretched arm, and with
great terribleness, and with signs, and
with wonders:
9 And he has brought us into this
place, and has given us this land,
even a land that flows with milk and

10 And now, behold, I have brought
the bikkurim (first-fruit) of the land,

The Arabs and Muslims have carried this model
today, while the Israelites shy away from their
national calling.
All the Patriarchal people were from
Mesopotamia and became Hebrews, meaning
‘the ones who crossed over.’ But the Hebrew
people or Israel as a whole with all twelve
tribes) are descendants of these people.
Anyone who will join Israel today by confession
of his faith will become a full Hebrew, not half
or spiritual. These are joined by the blood of
Messiah Yahushua.
When Jacob was invited to live in Egypt and
then his descendants decided to stay there and
as a polygamous group of people, they became
many in number which threatened the
Pharaoh’s kingdom. Hence why we see they
were worried about what to do with them. So,
they enforced slavery on Israel.

12 When You have made an end of
tithing all the tithes of your increase
the third year,1 which is the year of
tithing, and have given it unto the
Lewite, the foreigner, the fatherless,
and the widow, that they may eat
within your gates, and be filled;
13 Then You shall say before hwhy
your Elohim, I have brought away the
set-apart things out of mine Beyth

unto the Lewite, and unto the
foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the
widow, according to all your
commandments which You have
commanded me: I have not
transgressed your commandments,
neither have I forgotten them:

mourning, neither have I removed
anything while I was unclean, nor

17 You have declared to hwhy this
day to be your Elohim, and to keep His
halachot (commandments), and to
keep his statutes, and his
commandments, and his judgments,
and to obey His voice:
18 And hwhy has declared to you
this day to be his treasured
possession as he has promised you,
and that You should guard all his
commandments;

nations which He has made, in praise,
and in name, and in honour; and that
You may be a set-apart people unto
hwhy your Elohim, as he has spoken.
Chapter 27
1 And Musa (Moses) with the elders
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) commanded the
people, saying, Guard all the
commandments which I command you
this day.
2 And it shall be on the day when
you shall pass over Yardan (Jordan)
unto the land which hwhy your Elohim
gives you, that You shall erect
together great stones,2 and plaster
them with plaster:
3 And You shall write upon them all
the words of this Torah, when You
have passed over, that You may go in
unto the land which hwhy your Elohim
gives you, a land that flows with milk
and honey; as hwhy Elohim of your
ahvot (fathers) has promised you.
4 Therefore it shall be when you
have gone over the Yardan (Jordan),
that you shall erect these stones,
which I command you this day, in
Mount Ebal, and You shall plaster
them with plaster.

unto hwhy your Elohim, an altar of

your Elohim of whole stones: and You
shall offer burnt offerings thereon unto
hwhy your Elohim:
7 And You shall offer shalom (peace)
offerings, and shall eat there, and
rejoice before hwhy your Elohim.
8 And You shall write upon the
stones all the words of this Torah very
plainly.
9 And Musa (Moses) and the
kohenim (priests) the Lewites spoke
unto all Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, Be
Silent and pay close attention, O
Yah’sar’el (Israel); this day You have
become the people of hwhy your
Elohim.
10 You must listen1 carefully to the
voice of hwhy your Elohim, and do His
commandments and his statutes,
which I command you this day.
11 And Musa (Moses) commanded
the people the same day, saying,
12 These shall stand upon Mount
Gerizim to bless the people, when you
are come over the Yardan (Jordan);
Shimeon, and Lewi, and Yahudah
(Judah), and Yah’sachar (Issachar),
and Yosef, and Binyamin (Benjamin):
13 And these shall stand upon Mount
Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gawd, and
Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and
Naphtali.
14 And the Lewites shall speak, and
say unto all the men of Yah’sar’el

any graven or molten image, or
something abhorrent unto hwhy, the

the people shall answer and say,
Amen.

his father or his mother. And all the
people shall say, Amen.
17 Cursed be he that removes his
neighbour's boundary markers. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
18 Cursed be he that makes the
blind to wander out of the way. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
19 Cursed be he that perverts
judgment of the foreigner, fatherless,
and widow. And all the people shall
say, Amen.
20 Cursed be he that lies with his
father's wife; because he uncovers his
father's nakedness. And all the people
shall say, Amen.
21 Cursed be he that commits
bestiality. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
22 Cursed be he that lies with his
sister, the daughter of his father, or the
daughter of his mother.3 And all the
people shall say, Amen.
23 Cursed be he that lies with his
mother in law. And all the people shall
say, Amen.
24 Cursed be he that kills his
neighbour secretly. And all the people
shall say, Amen.
2 It does not matter whether your parents are
believers or unbelievers, disrespect will bring
on the curse. This disrespect is in general
obedience in day to day living. However, if they
tell you to obey other elohim, you are only to
serve YHWH and this is not counted as
disrespect to parents as you can tell them
lovingly that you will not follow after their idols.

1 And it shall come to pass, if You
shall listen carefully to the voice of
hwhy your Elohim, to Guard3 and to
do all his commandments which I
command you this day, that hwhy your
Elohim will elevate you high above all
nations of the world:4
1This is speaking of a hit man who is hired to
murder someone.
2 Rabbi Paulos mentioned this in Galatians
3:10. Anyone even claiming to be a believer
who does not continue in all the words is still
under a curse even if he claims to be in
Messiah. The Messiah only removed the curse
of sin and the second death. There are many
curses written in the Torah and there are also
many blessings, in order to reap these you
have to ‘hear and do,’ the words of this Torah.
These curses are separate from the Messiah of
Israel, which people usually mix up with
blessings and curses.
3 The word ‘shomer’ here means to protect and
to obey the commandments. The protection is
like your own property and right. Do you guard
His commandments like you guard your son
and daughter or your most material prized
possession? The meaning behind this is like a
solider standing with a machine gun guarding
and fighting for his country and the rights of
his nation.
4 YHWH will also raise up Israel first in the
order of resurrection, so the idea in the ancient
Hebrew ‘Elyon,’ to be elevated is not just an
elevation here but also elevation ahead of the
world. In ancient Hebrew it means to be ‘led by
the hand of YHWH’. Israel if they are keeping
Torah would not perish as many have

been teaching a bogus theology that Christians
go ahead into the kingdom and Jewish Israel
ends up in hell. The truth is quite different as
Judah is ahead of brother Ephraim. See Ezekiel
37 AF Tanach Edition commentary about
Israel’s glorious future. Christians who lead
Torah disobedient lives will be put through
hard tribulation (Revelation 2:22), with many
being killed. Plus, in the first resurrection at the
start of the millennium, many will not be raised
to make it into the millennium and will have to
wait until the next resurrection. The millennium
is not for everyone but a reward for the faithful
believers and disciples of Yahushua. Scripture
only counts those as disciples as ones who
keep the Torah and believe in the Messiah, see
our footnote John 8:31, in the AF Nazarene
Hebraic Study Scriptures Renewed Covenant
edition.

you stop being rebellious and turn around to

commandments not simply going to church
once a week to satisfy your Pastor’s
denomination laws. Torah obedience is
commanded and not obligatory and many
Christians need to learn this fact and state of
play. We must pray three times a day and yet
many Christians are just not taught these
things, which are causing the greatest disasters
in their life, but no more. Rise up today and
repent and follow after YHWH who is Yahushua

lift. The people need to come out of the bogus
four Christian spiritual laws theory and start
doing the real deal which is Torah obedience.

are being persecuted under the guise of
religious belief but the reality is they do not
obey and keep Torah so the curses have

1 This is literally happening in Pakistan and
places like Nigeria and the common issue is not
that the nation is hostile because of something
the believer has done, but the common thread
is they do not obey YHWH and His Torah.
Christians are disobedient, and they wonder
what is going on. Many Christian families that
have daughters have had them forcefully taken
away and then converted. Lands have been
confiscated and not returned; people have
been put in jails with a false charge. All these
things are occurring not because they are a
believer and the others are not but because
they are disobedient to Torah pure and simple!
The Pastor's will not tell you this because they
lack knowledge of YHWH's laws and are taught
Western Christianity which wrongly teaches
that the Torah is abolished (interpreting
Sha’ul's epistles incorrectly) and is for the
Jewish people only. They further exacerbate
the problem by introducing pagan feasts and
eating unclean foods and not understanding

the difference between clean and unclean.
Israel did not keep Christianity as a faith, either
we learn to walk in our forefathers’ ways or
perish so the choice is quite clear. Obey and
be blessed or suffer and die. If our forefathers
who were disobedient perished in the Desert
then what chance do we have?
2 Happening currently in many Islamic nations.
3 This is currently happening where Christians
are the talk of the town and put down
constantly.
4 There is a sod (hidden) meaning here of
future issues with Torahlessness with the
Islamic nations who will be numerous like the
locusts. The Hebrew word ‘Arbeh’ for locust
can also mean a Desert roaming creature like a
Bedouin Arab. Hence they will attack you or
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
come to your lands which many Islamic nations
have done and attack Christians for
Torahlessness. Get the book World War III –
Unmasking the End Times Beast Page 158 The
word used by the Rabbis for locust is ‘arbeh,’
which they refer to the ‘desert creature’ and
use also synonymously for the Arabs.
The Hebrew word used is ‘arbeh’ and one can
understand why the Rabbis used this for the
Arabs as the desert-roaming creatures. It is a
foregone conclusion that the Arabs will come
up in the end-times to try and destroy Israel
with other Islamic nations and that YHWH will
crush them on the mountains of Israel. It is our
job to warn them so that some may repent.
However, the last battle is not only a battle
that will wake up Israel, but also save Muslims
who are left. Ultimately it involves redemption
of both peoples, the Arabs and the Jews, since
both in their present state without Torah are
lost.
Let me show you another understanding in the
Aramaic in Daniel 2:43 where he describes the
fourth kingdom. Daniel shows us that this
kingdom will be strong yet divided and we see
this fracture in the Islamic Empire today. But
they will unite to try and destroy Israel as a
confederacy, just as Scripture dictates. One
thing is 100% certain; that YHWH is
trustworthy and everything He said has so far
has come to pass and the rest will be fulfilled
in its due course.
Daniel 2:43 ‘As you saw iron mixed with
ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of
men; but they will not adhere to one another,
just as iron does not mix with clay.’
The Aramaic word for ‘mix’ is ‘Arab.’ Do you
see how YHWH is trying to show us that it is
the Arabs who will mix with the seed of men,
i.e. intermarriages, plus the spread of Islam
globally, that will produce the end-time empire.
Although ‘arbah’ can also mean the number
four (4). So another allegoric (drash) reading
of this could be that the four beast mix in the
Middle East is in this SAME region that will
produce this last empire. Since this is the SAME
geographic region for all these 4 beast

among all people, from the one end of

there You shall serve other elohim,
which neither You nor your ahvot

1 These are the words of the

Musa (Moses) to make with the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) in the
land of Moab,2 beside the covenant
1 You can have assurance of life the minute
you change your mind and start to obey Torah
and repent and receive the Ruach ha Kodesh
(Set-Apart Spirit).
2 This is the Renewed Covenant being
established with Moses Rebenu to be sealed in
the blood of Messiah Yahushua 2000 years
later. The words ‘beside’ indicate this is a
Renewed Covenant but encompassing what
was contained in the Sinaitic covenant (10
Commandments only and no animal sacrifices).
Well respected Jewish Rabbi’s such as famous
Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (Rambam) and Rabbi
Shlomo Yitzhak (Rashi) also said that this was
to be a different covenant separate from Horeb
which is the same one mentioned in Jeremiah
31:31, which Christians cite so freely. However,
they do not realise that it was not made with
Yirmeyah but with Moses Rebenu and Israel at
Mount Nebo and finds its place right here in
the Torah. YHWH’s covenants overlap and run
interchangeably like flights at an airport to
different destinations. Just because a flight is

which He made with them in Horeb.
2 And Musa (Moses) called unto all
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and said unto them,
You have seen all that hwhy did
before your eyes in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) unto Pharaoh, and
unto all his servants, and unto all his
land;
3 The great judgments which your
eyes have seen, the signs, and those
mighty miracles:
4 Yet hwhy has not given you a
heart to know, and eyes to see, and
ears to hear,1 unto this day.
5 And I have led you forty years in
the desert: your clothes have not worn
out, and your sandals on your feet
have not deteriorated.
6 You have eaten no lechem (bread),
neither have you drunk wine or strong
drink: that you might know that I am
hwhy your Elohim.
7 And when you came unto this
place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and
Og the king of Bashan, came out
against us for war, and we defeated
them:
8 And we took their land, and gave it
for an inheritance unto the
Reubenites, and to the Gawdites, and
to the half tribe of Manashsheh.
going to India does not mean it cancels out the
flight to Pakistan. No covenant is ever annulled
or terminated.
1 Showing Israelites stubbornness in their
ways, ‘ears to hear’ the term means to rebel
against the given ‘faith.’ Yahushua used the
term in Matt 11:15. ‘He that has ears’ meaning
the ear is the receptacle to the heart and the
term means ‘to listen and to obey’ Torah. So if
you do not obey Torah and believe like today’s
disobedient Christians then you certainly do not
have ears, the ones that are needed to obey
Torah.

His life (John 10:15) but there is another stage
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
16 For you know how we have dwelt
in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt); and
how we came through the nations
which you passed by;
17 And you have seen their
abhorrent practices, and their idols,
wood and stone, silver and gold, which
were among them:
18 Lest there should be among you
man, or woman, or mishpacha
(family), or tribe, whose heart turns
away this day from hwhy our Elohim,
to go and serve the elohim of these
nations; lest there should be among
you a root that produces poisonous
and bitter fruit;

hears the words of this curse, that he
bless himself in his heart, saying, I
shall have shalom (peace), though I
keep my halacha (commandments)
with a rebellious heart,1 the watered

20 hwhy will not spare him, but then
the anger of hwhy and his jealousy
shall arouse against that man, and all
the curses3 that are written in this
not yet complete which will complete when
Yahushua returns.
1 This is the categorical state of most in
Christianity. The majority of them walk in utter
rebellion and blessing self while sticking to the
pagan ways of their forefathers popularly
known as the church fathers. Our task in life is
not to behave like this and bless self, because
when we are walking Torah then YHWH will
bless us and not self.
2 Idiomatic expression to mean whatever this
person touches will be cursed that includes
friendships and business and he will bring
judgment on whole nations if he be a king or

the covenant that are written in this
scroll of the Torah.
22 So that the generation to come of
your children that shall rise up after
you, and the foreigner that shall come
from a far land, shall say, when they
see the plagues of that land, and the
sicknesses which hwhy has laid upon
it;
23 And that the whole land thereof is
brimstone, and salt, and burning, that
it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor any
grass grows therein, like the overthrow
of Sedom (Sodom), and Amorah
(Gomorrah), Admah, and Zevoim,
which hwhy overthrew in his anger,
and in his indignation:
24 Even all nations shall say, why
has hwhy done thus unto this land?
What is the meaning of this heated
great anger?
25 Then men shall say, Because
they have forsaken the covenant of
hwhy Elohim of their ahvot (fathers),
which he made with them when he
brought them forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt):
26 For they went and served other
elohim, and worshipped them, elohim
as they are to do with obedience. Our own
obedience will lift those curses, but if we
remain in disobedient living, constantly
breaking the 7th day Sabbath, and do not keep
the seven annual feasts, then the Torah curses
remain upon us. Even irrespective of the blood
of the Messiah shed at the Mount of Olives.
Rabbi Paulos also emphasized this point in

4 It is YHWH who gives the new birth with
what we term born again or born from above.
It is not new but a very ancient term. While
Christians today make it sound like a new
buzzword, it is not new at all. When you walk
with YHWH, you must come to Him with a fully
repentant heart and He will circumcise it and
give you the new birth. That happens via the
Keter (crown), which is Yahushua the King,
Yahushua to His feet the Malchut, reaching into
the (Kingdom). This is also what the Renewed
Covenant terms, the narrow gate (Matthew
7:14). This is the path even Balaam’s donkey
saw where the Malakh YHWH was standing on
the narrow path (Numbers 22:24), the middle
path, not to the right or to the left.
One more thing, many in Israel simply have to
accept Yahushua who is the majesty of YHWH
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
of your descendants, to love hwhy
your Elohim with all your heart, and
with all your soul, that You may live.
7 And hwhy your Elohim will put all
these curses upon your enemies, and
on them that hate you, who
persecuted you.
8 And You shall return and obey the
voice of hwhy, and do all his
commandments which I command you
this day.
9 And hwhy your Elohim will make
you plenteous in every work of your
hand, in the fruit of your body, and in
the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit
of your land, for good: for hwhy will
again rejoice over you for good, as He
rejoiced over your ahvot (fathers):
10 If You shall carefully listen unto
the voice of hwhy your Elohim, to
guard His commandments and his
statutes which are written in this scroll
of the Torah, and if You make
repentance unto hwhy your Elohim
with all your heart, and with all your
soul.
11 For this commandment which I
command you this day, it is not hidden
to receive the new birth. This is something very
few people understand, it is not that they have
to bow before a man but accept YHWH’s
authority. When the thief hung alongside
Yahushua on the tree (Luke 23:40-43), he did
not have to grovel for forgiveness but only had
to have the fear of Elohim and believed in what
Yahushua could do by accepting His authority.
This is all Yahushua needed to get this son of
Abraham into the kingdom! The criminal did
not have to recite some church formula or the
four spiritual laws. Unfortunately, these are
man made concepts, and these do not stand
up to the great mercy of YHWH for Israel.

from you, neither is it far off.1
12 It is not in the shamayim
(heavens), that You should say, Who
shall go up for us to the shamayim
(heavens), and bring it unto us, that
we may hear it, and do it?2
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that
You should say, Who shall go over the
sea for us, and bring it unto us, that
we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word3 is very near unto
you, in your mouth, and in your heart,
that You may do it.
15 See, I have set before you this
day life4 and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command you this day to
love hwhy your Elohim, to walk in His
Halacha, and to guard His halachot
and his statutes and his judgments,
that You may live and multiply: and
hwhy your Elohim shall bless you in
the land where You go to possess it.
17 But if your heart turn away, so
that You will not hear, but shall be
drawn away, and worship other
elohim, and serve them;
18 I declare unto you this day, that
you shall surely perish, and that you
shall not prolong your days upon the
land, where You pass over the Yardan
(Jordan) to go to possess it.

3 Lawlessness is not keeping Torah and will
lead to early physical death for many and lack
of blessings. However for a fuller explanation
see our AF Tanach edition Ezekiel 37.
4 The word ‘life’ here means to choose the new
birth that YHWH wants to give it which we
term ‘born again’ or born from above.
5 Here YHWH clarified that he is life, meaning
we must believe in His Torah or suffer the
consequences. The Messiah came with the
same Torah renewed.

7 And Musa (Moses) called unto
Yahushua (Joshua), and said unto him
in the sight of all Yah’sar’el (Israel), Be
strong and of a good courage: for You
must go with this people unto the land
which hwhy has sworn unto their
ahvot (fathers) to give them; and You
shall cause them to inherit it.
8 And hwhy, He it is that will go
before you; He will be with you, He will
not fail you, neither forsake you: fear
not, neither be dismayed.
9 And Musa (Moses) wrote this
Torah, and delivered it unto the
kohenim (priests) the sons of Lewi,
which carried the ark of the covenant
of hwhy, and unto all the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
10 And Musa (Moses) commanded
them, saying, At the end of every
seven years, in the solemnity of the
 Debarim (Deuteronomy)
year of release, in chag ha Sukkot
(The Feast of Tabernacles),
11 When all Yah’sar’el (Israel) is

choose, You shall read this Torah

have not known anything, may hear,
and learn to fear hwhy your Elohim, as
long as you live in the land where you
go over the Yardan (Jordan) to

(Moses), Behold, your days approach
that You must die: call Yahushua

the tabernacle of the congregation,
that I may give him a charge. And
Musa (Moses) and Yahushua
(Joshua) went, and presented
themselves in the tabernacle of the
congregation.
15 And hwhy appeared in the
tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and
the pillar of the cloud stood over the
door of the tabernacle.

where they go to be among them, and
will forsake me, and break My
covenant which I have made with
them.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled
against them in that day, and I will
forsake them, and I will hide my face
from them, and they shall be
devoured, and many evils and troubles
shall befall them; so that they will say
in that day, Are not these evils come
upon us, because our Elohim is not
among us?
18 And I will surely hide my face in
that day for all the evils which they
shall have worked, in that they are
turned unto other elohim.
19 Now therefore you write this song
for you, and teach it the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): put it in their
mouths, that this song may be a
witness for me against the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
20 For when I shall have brought
them into the land which I swore unto
their ahvot (fathers), that flows with
milk and honey; and they shall have
eaten and filled themselves, and
become fat; then will they turn unto
other elohim, and serve them, and
provoke me, and break My covenant.
21 And it shall come to pass, when
many evils and troubles are befallen
them, that this song shall testify
against them as a witness; for it shall
not be forgotten out of the mouths of
their descendants: for I know their
imagination which they go about, even
now, before I have brought them into

there was no strange el (power) with
him.
13 He made him ride on the high

the increase of the fields; and he
made him to suck honey out of the
rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter from the herd, and milk of
sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of
the breed of Bashan, and goats, with
the fat, kernels of wheat; and You did

15 But Yeshurun waxed fat, and
kicked: You are waxen fat, You are
grown thick, You are covered with
fatness; and then he forsook Elohim
who made him, the Rock of his
salvation with contempt.
16 They provoked Him to jealousy
with strange elohim, with abhorrent
practices they provoked Him to anger.

to elohim; to elohim whom they knew

move them to jealousy with those

23 I will increase their disasters; I will

gathered together.

sufficient for him; and You be a help
against his enemies.

against him, and of them that hate

said, The beloved of hwhy shall dwell
in safety by him; and hwhy shall cover
him all the day long, and he shall dwell

shall suck of the abundance of the

he that enlarges Gawd: who dwells as
a lioness, and tears the arm with the
crown of the head.

portion for himself,2 because there, in

go out of the doors of your house into the
street, his blood shall be upon his head,

shall be with you in the house, his blood
shall be on our head, if any hand be upon
him.
20 And if you report any of our
business, then we will be quit your oath
which you have made us to swear.
21 And she said, According to your
words, so be it. And she sent them away,
and they departed: and she bound the
scarlet line in the window.
22 And they went, and came to the
mountain, and abode there three days,
until the pursuers were returned: and the
pursuers sought them throughout all the
way, but found them not.
23 So the two men returned, and
descended from the mountain, and
passed over, and came to Yahushua
(Joshua) the son of Nun, and told him all
the things that happened to them:
24 And they said to Yahushua (Joshua),
Truly hwhy has delivered into our hands
all the land; for even all the inhabitants of
the country are fearful because of us.
Chapter 3
1 And Yahushua (Joshua) rose early in
the morning; and they removed from
Shittim, and came to Yardan (Jordan), he
and all the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and lodged there before they passed
over.
2 And it came to pass after three days,
that the officers went through the camp;
3 And they commanded the people,
saying, When you see the ark of the
covenant of hwhy your Elohim, and the
kohenim (priests) the Lewites bearing it,
then you shall remove from your place,
and go after it.
4 Yet there shall be a space between
you and it, about three thousand feet
behind it: do not come near it that you
may know the way by which you must go:
for you have not traveled this way before.
5 And Yahushua (Joshua) said to the
people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow
hwhy will do wonders among you.
6 And Yahushua (Joshua) spoke to the
 Yahushua (Joshua)
kohenim (priests), saying, Take up the
ark of the covenant, and pass over before
the people. And they took up the ark of
the covenant, and went before the
people.
7 And hwhy said to Yahushua (Joshua),
This day will I begin to magnify you in the
sight of all Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they
may know that, as I was with Musa
(Moses), so I will be with you.
8 And you shall command the kohenim
(priests) that bear the ark of the
covenant, saying, When you are come to
the brink of the mayim (water) of Yardan
(Jordan), you shall stand still in Yardan
(Jordan).
9 And Yahushua (Joshua) said to the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), Come here,
and hear the words of hwhy your Elohim.
10 And Yahushua (Joshua) said,
Hereby you shall know that the living El1
is among you, and that he will without fail
drive out from before you the Canaanites,
and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the
Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the
Amorites, and the Yebusites.2
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of
the Master of the entire earth passes over
before you into Yardan (Jordan).
12 Now therefore take twelve men out
of the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel), out of
every tribe a man.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as
the soles of the feet of the kohenim
(priests) that bear the ark of hwhy, the
Master of the entire earth, shall rest in the
waters of Yardan (Jordan), that the
waters of Yardan (Jordan) shall be cut
off3 from the waters that come down from
1 Mighty One.
2 Only 7 enemies left, but before there were10
nations (3 were defeated) showing the End times
scenario, the 10 kings scenario.
3 Note the waters of Jordan, meaning all Islamic
nations fighting Israel with the King of Kings will
be cut off. The soles of the feet are of Yahushua
hinted at when He lands on the Mount of Olives
above; and they shall stand upon as a
heap.
14 And it came to pass, when the
people removed from their tents, to pass
over Yardan (Jordan), and the kohenim
(priests) bearing the ark of the covenant
before the people;
15 And as they that bare the ark were
come to Yardan (Jordan), and the feet of
the kohenim (priests) that bare the ark
were dipped in the brim of the mayim
(water), for Yardan (Jordan) overflows all
his banks all the time of harvest,4
16 That the waters which came down
from above stood and rose up upon a
heap5 very far from the city Ahdahm, that
is beside Zaretan: and those that came
down toward the sea of the plain, even
the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and
the people passed over right against
Yericho (Jericho).
17 And the kohenim (priests) that bare
the ark of the covenant of hwhy stood
firm on dry ground in the midst of Yardan
(Jordan), and all the Israelites passed
over on dry ground, until all the people
were passed clean over Yardan (Jordan).
Zech 14:4. The Hebrew word for cut off is very
strong word KARET. It is the same word that is
used to describe the result of a curse for
disobedience to the Master in Heaven. If one
becomes unclean from Tzara’at. He/she was taken
out of the camp and karet, cut off, from the
people. If a person committed a murder they were
cut off (karet) by being executed. Therefore, it
hints at some kind of death (physical, spiritual, or
both) because separation from YHWH is death. We
know this is true because Yahushua told us that all
sinners will be thrust into the Lake of Fire and be
burned up to destruction (Matt 10:28).
4 In early spring when the snows of Mt. Hermon
are melting, the river widens, overflows it’s banks
and becomes dangerous and difficult to cross. This
was the condition of the Jordan when Israel was
instructed to cross it.

 Yahushua (Joshua)
Chapter 4
1 And it came to pass, when all the
people were passed over the Yardan
(Jordan), that hwhy spoke to Yahushua
(Joshua), saying,
2 You take twelve men out of the
people, out of every tribe a man,
3 And you command them saying Take
you hence out of the midst of Yardan
(Jordan), out of the place where the
kohenim (priests) feet stood firm, twelve
stones, and you shall carry them over
with you, and leave them in the lodging
place, where you shall lodge this night.
4 Then Yahushua (Joshua) called the
twelve men, whom he had prepared of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), out of
every tribe a man:
5 And Yahushua (Joshua) said to them,
Pass over before the ark of hwhy your
Elohim into the midst of Yardan (Jordan),
and take up each man of a stone upon
his shoulder, according to the number of
the tribes of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel):
6 That this may be a sign among you,
that when your children ask their ahvot
(fathers) in time to come, saying, What do
these stones represent?
7 Then you shall answer them, That the
waters of Yardan (Jordan) were cut off
before the ark of the covenant of hwhy;
when it passed over Yardan (Jordan), the
waters of Yardan (Jordan) were cut off:
and these stones1 shall be for a memorial
to the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
forever.
8 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
did so as Yahushua (Joshua)
commanded, and took up twelve stones
out of the midst of Yardan (Jordan), as
hwhy spoke to Yahushua (Joshua),
according to the number of the tribes of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
carried them over with them to the place
where they lodged, and laid them down

there.
9 And Yahushua (Joshua) set up twelve
stones in the midst of Yardan (Jordan), in
the place where the feet of the kohenim
(priests) which bare the ark of the
covenant stood: and they are there to this
day.
10 For the kohenim (priests) which bare
the ark stood in the midst of Yardan
(Jordan), until every thing was finished
that hwhy commanded Yahushua
(Joshua) to speak to the people,
according to all that Musa (Moses)
commanded Yahushua (Joshua): and the
people hasted and passed over.
11 And it came to pass, when all the
people were passed over, that the ark of
hwhy passed over, and the kohenim
(priests), in the presence of the people.
12 And the children of Reuben, and the
children of Gawd, and half the tribe of
Manashsheh, passed over armed before
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), as
Musa (Moses) spoke to them:
13 About forty thousand prepared for
war passed over before hwhy to battle, to
the plains of Yericho (Jericho).
14 On that day hwhy magnified
Yahushua (Joshua) in the sight of all
Yah’sar’el (Israel); and they feared him,
as they feared Musa (Moses), all the
days of his life.
15 And hwhy spoke to Yahushua
(Joshua), saying,
16 Command the kohenim (priests) that
bear the ark of the testimony that they
come up out of Yardan (Jordan).
17 Yahushua (Joshua) therefore
commanded the kohenim (priests),
saying, Come up out of Yardan (Jordan).
18 And it came to pass, when the
kohenim (priests) that bare the ark of the
covenant of hwhy were come up out of
the midst of Yardan (Jordan), and the
soles of the kohenim (priests) feet were
lifted up to the dry land, that the waters of
Yardan (Jordan) returned to their place,
and flowed over all its banks, as they did
before.
19 And the people came up out of
 Yahushua (Joshua)
Yardan (Jordan) on the tenth day of the
first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in
the east border of Yericho (Jericho). 1
20 And those twelve stones, which they
took out of Yardan (Jordan), did
Yahushua (Joshua) pitch in Gilgal.
21 And he spoke to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, When your
children shall ask their ahvot (fathers) in
time to come, saying, What do these
stones represent?
22 Then you shall let your children
know, saying, Yah’sar’el (Israel) came
over this Yardan (Jordan) on dry land.
23 For hwhy your Elohim dried up the
waters of Yardan (Jordan) from before
you, until you were passed over, as hwhy
your Elohim did to the Sea of Reeds,
which he dried up from before us, until we
were gone over:
24 That all the people of the earth might
know the hand of hwhy, that it is mighty:
that you might fear hwhy your Elohim
forever.
Chapter 5
1 And it came to pass, when all the
kings of the Amorites, which were on the
side of Yardan (Jordan) westward, and all
the kings of the Canaanites, which were
by the sea, heard that hwhy had dried up
the waters of Yardan (Jordan) from
before the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
until we were passed over, that their
heart melted, neither was there ruach
(spirit) in them anymore, because of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 At that time the hwhy said to
Yahushua (Joshua), Make sharp knives,2
and circumcise again the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) the second time.3
3 And Yahushua (Joshua) made him
sharp knives, and circumcised the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) at the hill of
the foreskins.4
4 And this is the cause why Yahushua
(Joshua) did circumcise: All the people
that came out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), that
were males, even all the men of war, died
in the wilderness by the way, after they
came out of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
5 Now all the people that came out were
circumcised: but all the people that were
born in the wilderness by the way as they
came forth out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), them

used for the operation of removing the males’

1 Gilgal means to roll 10th day of 1st month
corresponds to 10th of Nisan when the Passover
lamb is inspected. Yahushua entered into
Jerusalem 4 days prior to Passover for inspection.
The children of Israel face a battle before they can
have the Promised Land and note it is Jericho that
they must battle out. The thing about Jericho is
that it was the ancient city of the moon god (Allah)
that we know spread from Mesopotamia to the
rest of the world. Likewise the End-Time Battle is
hinted here with the East being Yahushua and
Israel once again ready to battle to take the land.
Jericho this time with high walls being the radical
Islamic nations that will be strong and come to
fight, this is detailed in Ezek 38 with the ancient
names of the Islamic nations that will participate.

foreskins. By Joshua’s day flint knives were
obsolete having given way to bronze, and even to
iron. Archeologists refer to Joshua’s time as either
the “Late Bronze” or “Early Iron” ages. Tradition
says Abraham and Jacob had used flint knives to
circumcise and it was patterned after rule not to
use a metal tool on stones used to build an Altar to
YHWH. Flint knives could be used to shape altar
stones, as flint is a natural substance used as
found but metal had to be extracted, fired and
worked to remove impurities. This shows us the
spiritual parallel that Israelite males were just
men, but after being “chosen” by God, they
became sanctified and purified.
3 YHWH made sure that the people were
circumcised before they could enter the land. The
same way Christians not circumcised will find
problems to enter the 3rd Temple as they will not
be allowed to set feet inside unless circumcised.
4 The word here is ‘h’arlot’ to specify that YHWH
wanted Israel to leave their harlotries behind.
 Yahushua (Joshua)
they had not circumcised.1
6 For the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
walked forty years in the wilderness, till
all the people that were men of war,
which came out of Mitzrayim (Egypt),
were consumed, because they obeyed
not the voice of hwhy: to whom hwhy
swore that he would not show them the
land, which hwhy swore to their ahvot
(fathers) that he would give us, a land
that flows with milk and honey.
7 And their children, whom he raised up
in their place, them Yahushua (Joshua)
circumcised: for they were
uncircumcised, because they had not
circumcised them by the way.
8 And it came to pass, when they had
done circumcising all the people that they
abode in their places in the camp, till they
1 “All the people (AM) who came out of Egypt”
died in the Wilderness.”
Joshua 5:6 “wandered in the Wilderness until all
the people/nation (goy) died”
• AM = kindred, fellow citizens, Elohim’s people
• Goy = people, nation, NON-Hebrew people, NOT
Elohim’s people
• Because of their rebellion in the Wilderness, the
Israelites had their status changed from AM to Goy
(in a spiritual sense, not physically)
• It was/is circumcision that is the sign of being
Set Apart as Elohim’s people both physical and of
the heart together.
Elohim would NOT turn his land over to the
“spiritual goy”
• Therefore a 2nd circumcision was a must
• AFTER circumcision, Israel was redeemed
• THEN they were referred to as “AM”, in Hebrew
meaning people.
• Israel then rebelled and removed their special
status and went back to becoming a Goy again
dispersed in the nations which story can be read in
Hoshea 1.
• Lo-ammi = Goy followed by a divorce to the
House of Israel the ten tribes.
- Judah was the only one who remained and kept
the status of YHWH’s people. The Messiah had to
come to redeem the Lo-Ammi (Goy nations back to
Israel the Ten tribes), Matt 15:24, while He also
reconciled Judah who were in the nations but it is
not yet time for Judah to know although they are
fully saved by the same blood shed on the Tree.

were whole.
9 And hwhy said to Yahushua (Joshua),
This day have I rolled away the reproach
of Mitzrayim (Egypt) from you. Wherefore
the name of the place is called Gilgal to
this day.
10 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
encamped in Gilgal, and kept the
Passover on the fourteenth day2 of the
month at even in the plains of Yericho
(Jericho).3
11 And they did eat of the old corn of
the land on the day after the Passover,
unleavened cakes, and parched corn in
the selfsame day.
12 And the manna ceased the day after
they had eaten of the old corn of the land;
neither had the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) manna anymore; but they did eat
of the fruit of the land of Canaan that
year.
13 And it came to pass, when
Yahushua (Joshua) was by Yericho
(Jericho), that he lifted up his eyes and
looked, and, behold, there stood a man
over against him with his sword drawn in
his hand: and Yahushua (Joshua) went to
him, and said to him, Are you for us, or
for our adversaries?
14 And he said, No; but as commander
of the host of hwhy Have I now come.
And Yahushua (Joshua) fell on his face to
the ground, and did worship,4 and said to
2 After the circumcision ceremony they celebrated
Passover on the 14th of the month. So they
crossed over on the 10th day, likely circumcised on
the 12th and 13th, and observed Passover on the
14th. Then the day AFTER Passover, which is the
15th day of the 1st month and is the Feast of
Matzoth, they ate unleavened bread (Matza) and
roasted grain.
3 Passover lamb was sacrificed around 2.30pm to
3 pm on the 14th Abib and then eaten during the
evening of the 15th of Abib which begins the feast
of unleavened bread.

him, What says my Master to his
servant?
15 And the commander of hwhy's host
said to Yahushua (Joshua), Loose your
shoe from off your foot;1 for the place
whereon you stand is set-apart. And
Yahushua (Joshua) did so.2
Chapter 6
1 Now Yericho (Jericho)3 was shut
tightly because of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): none could go out, and
none could come in.
2 And hwhy said to Yahushua (Joshua),
See, I have given into your hand Yericho
(Jericho), and the king thereof, and the
mighty men of valour.
3 And you shall go around the city, all
your men of war, go around the city once.
You shall do this six days.
4 And seven kohenim (priests) shall
bear before the ark seven shofarim of
rams' horns: and the seventh day you
shall go around the city seven times, and

b) Take off your shoes. When we compare this
with the instruction given to Musa at the burning
bush to remove your shoe (Exo 3: 5) we see that
Yahushua is told in the same manner to remove
his shoes by the Commander of YHWH’s host
(YAHUSHUA) according to the Law of Shoe (Deut
25: 8, Ruth 4:7) was going to give the land of
Israel, which originally belonged to them.

5 And it shall come to pass, that when
they make a long blast with the ram's
shofarim, and when you hear the sound
of the shofarim, all the people shall shout
with a great shout; and the wall of the city
shall fall down flat, and the people shall
ascend up every man straight before
him.5
6 And Yahushua (Joshua) the son of
Nun called the kohenim (priests), and
said to them, Take up the ark of the
covenant, and let seven kohenim (priests)
bear seven shofarim of rams' horns
before the ark of hwhy.
7 And he said to the people, Pass on,
4 The sound of a shofar resembles the voice of
YHWH and announces the advent and conquering
forces of YHWH. The angels muster at the sound
of the shofar and demonic forces run for cover as
YHWH’s army assembles waiting for His orders.
This is a must have tool in any believers kit.
Whenever you are in distress blow the shofar
seven times to call for YHWH’s help in the spiritual
realm and He will send help.
5 The walls of Jericho fell outwards. During the
excavations of Jericho (1930-36) [John] Garstang
found something so startling that a statement of
what was found was prepared and signed by
himself and two other members of the team. In
reference to these findings, Garstang says, 'As to
the main fact, then, there remains no doubt: the
walls fell outwards so completely that the attackers
would be able to clamber up and over their ruins
into the city.' Why so unusual? Because the walls
of cities do not fall outwards, they fall inwards.
Josh McDowell, Evidence That Demands A Verdict
Dr Bryant Wood says:
‘Jericho was once thought to be a ‘Bible problem’
because of the seeming disagreement between
archaeology and the Bible. When the archaeology
is correctly interpreted, however, just the opposite
is the case. The archaeological evidence supports
the historical accuracy of the biblical account in
every detail. Every aspect of the story that could
possibly be verified by the findings of archaeology
is, in fact, verified.’ Bryant G. Wood, ‘Archaeology
Confirms: They Really Did Come A-Tumblin’ Down,’

 Yahushua (Joshua)
and go around the city, and let him that is
armed pass on before the ark of hwhy.
8 And it came to pass, when Yahushua
(Joshua) had spoken to the people, that
the seven kohenim (priests) bearing the
seven shofarim of rams' horns passed on
before hwhy, and blew with the shofarim:
and the ark of the covenant of hwhy
followed them.
9 And the armed men went before the
kohenim (priests) that blew with the
shofarim, and the rear guard came after
the ark, the kohenim (priests) going on,
and blowing with the shofarim.
10 And Yahushua (Joshua) had
commanded the people, saying, You
shall not shout, nor make any noise with
your voice, neither shall any word
proceed out of your mouth, until the day I
bid you shout; then shall you shout.
11 So the ark of hwhy went around the
city, going about it once: and they came
into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 And Yahushua (Joshua) rose early in
the morning, and the kohenim (priests)
took up the ark of hwhy.
13 And seven kohenim (priests) bearing
seven shofarim of rams' horns before the
ark of hwhy went on continually, and
blew with the shofarim: and the armed
men went before them; but the rear guard
came after the ark of hwhy, the kohenim
(priests) going on, and blowing with the
shofarim.
14 And the second day they compassed
the city once, and returned into the camp:
so they did six days.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh
day that they rose early about at the
dawn of the day, and went around the city
after the same manner seven times: only
on that day they went around the city
seven times.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh
time, when the kohenim (priests) blew
with the shofarim, Yahushua (Joshua)
said to the people, Shout; for hwhy has
given you the city.
17 And the city shall be accursed,1 even
it, and all that are therein, to hwhy: only
Rachab the harlot shall live, she and all
that are with her in the house, because
she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 And you, in any wise keep
yourselves from the accursed thing, lest
you make yourselves accursed, when
you take of the accursed thing, and make
the camp of Yah’sar’el (Israel) a curse,
and trouble it.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and
vessels of brass and iron, are
consecrated to hwhy: they shall come
into the treasury of hwhy.
20 So the people shouted when the
kohenim (priests) blew with the shofarim:
and it came to pass, when the people
heard the sound of the shofarim, and the
people shouted with a great shout, that
the wall fell down flat,2 so that the people
went up into the city, every man straight
before him, and they took the city.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that
was in the city, both man and woman,
young and old, and ox, and sheep, and
ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 But Yahushua (Joshua) had said to
the two men that had spied out the
1 Accursed/Devoted the Hebrew word means
giving completely to YHWH just like 10% of our
tithe belongs to Him; the first city of Jericho out of
31 cities was a firsfruit offering, which belonged to
YHWH, as they were going to take the remaining
30 cities for themselves (Josh 12: 24).
2 Within the crumbled walls of the ancient city of
Jericho, the remains of infant children had been
found. The remains had been found within the
bricks themselves as the Canaanites had literally
built the walls of their cities with the bones of
children sacrificed to pagan deities. YHWH Elohim
was giving the message that he would not bless a
nation who would disobey him by killing their
children’s; in modern binocular by practicing
abortion we remove the hedge of protection
around us (Ps 127: 1). Abortion is illegal in the
kingdom of YHWH and is a grave sin that must be
repented from.

country, Go into the harlot's house, and
bring out the woman from there, and all
that she has, as you swore to her.
23 And the young men that were spies
went in, and brought out Rachab, and her
father, and her mother, and her brethren,
and all that she had; and they brought out
all her family, and left them outside the
camp of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and
all that was therein: only the silver, and
the gold, and the vessels of brass and of
iron, they put into the treasury of the
house of hwhy.
25 And Yahushua (Joshua) saved
Rachab the harlot alive, and her father's
household, and all that she had; and she
dwells in Yah’sar’el (Israel) even to this
day; because she hid the messengers,
which Yahushua (Joshua) sent to spy out
Yericho (Jericho).
26 And Yahushua (Joshua) put them
under an oath at that time, saying,
Cursed be the man before hwhy, that
raises up and rebuilds this city Yericho
(Jericho): he shall lay the foundation
thereof in his firstborn, 1 and in his
youngest son shall he set up the gates of
it.
27 So hwhy was with Yahushua
(Joshua); and he became famous
throughout all the land.

was kindled against the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 And Yahushua (Joshua) sent men
from Yericho (Jericho) to Ai,3 which is
beside Beyth-Awen,4 on the east side of
Beyth’el, and spoke to them, saying, Go
up and view the country. And the men
went up and viewed Ai.
3 And they returned to Yahushua
(Joshua), and said to him, Let not all the
people go up; but let about two or three
thousand men go up and smite Ai; and let
not all the people tire out; for they are
few.
4 So there went up there of the people
about three thousand men: and they fled
before the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them
about thirty six men: for they chased
them from before the gate even to
Shebarim, and smote them in the going
down: wherefore the hearts of the people
melted, and became as mayim (water).
6 And Yahushua (Joshua) torn his
clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face
before the ark of hwhy until the evening,
he and the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and put dust upon their heads.
7 And Yahushua (Joshua) said, Alas, O
Master hwhy, wherefore have you at all
brought this people over Yardan (Jordan),
to deliver us into the hand of the
Amorites, to destroy us? would to Elohim
we had been content, and dwelt on the
other side Yardan (Jordan)!
8 O Master, what shall I say, when
Yah’sar’el (Israel) turns their backs before
their enemies!
9 For the Canaanites and all the
inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and
shall surround us, and cut off our name
3 Ayin (Ayin, Yud, Nun) is the Hebrew word for
eyes; the 2nd city to conquered was Ai (Ayin, Yud)
which is without the nun; we see that Akhan lost
the battle of eye.

 Yahushua (Joshua)
from the earth: and what will you do to
your great name?
10 And hwhy said to Yahushua
(Joshua), Get up; why do you lie upon
your face?1
11 Yah’sar’el (Israel) has sinned, and
they have also transgressed my covenant
which I commanded them: for they have
even taken of the accursed thing, and
have also stolen, and dissembled also,
and they have put it even among their
own stuff.
12 Therefore the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) could not stand before their
2
enemies, but turned their backs before
their enemies, because they were
accursed:3 neither will I be with you any
more, except you destroy the accursed
from among you.
13 Rise up, sanctify the people, and
say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow:
for thus says hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), There is an accursed thing in the
midst of you, O Yah’sar’el (Israel): you
cannot stand before your enemies, until
you take away the accursed thing from
among you.
14 In the morning therefore you shall be
brought according to your tribes: and it
shall be, that the tribe which hwhy takes
shall come according to the families
thereof; and the family which hwhy shall
take shall come by households; and the
household which hwhy shall take shall
come man by man.
15 And it shall be, that he that is taken
1 When there is sin in the camp prayers do not do
anything but action to remove that sin does work
as shown here.
2 Coveting is the spiritual blemish of the sight of
the eye, only when there was and is repentance
(good eye) the people of YHWH are given victory.
The same was the case in Joshua’s army.
3 The cursed things bring a curse into Israel and
their households. This is why there must never be
accursed or heathen things in our homes such as
idols and statutes of heathen worship.
425
with the accursed thing shall be burnt
with fire,4 he and all that he has: because
he has transgressed the covenant of
hwhy, and because he has wrought folly
in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
16 So Yahushua (Joshua) rose up early
in the morning, and brought Yah’sar’el
(Israel) by their tribes; and the tribe of
Yahudah (Judah) was taken:
17 And he brought the family of
Yahudah (Judah); and he took the family
of the Zarhites: and he brought the family
of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi
was taken:
18 And he brought his household man
by man; and Akhan, the son of Carmi, the
son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the
tribe of Yahudah (Judah), was taken.
19 And Yahushua (Joshua) said to
Akhan, My son, give, I pray you, glory to
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
make confession to him; and tell me now
what you have done; hide it not from me.
20 And Akhan answered Yahushua
(Joshua), and said, Indeed I have sinned
against hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and thus and thus have I done:
21 When I saw among the spoils a
goodly Babylonish garment, and two
hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of
gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted
them, and took them; and, behold, they
are hid in the earth in the midst of my
tent, and the silver under it.
22 So Yahushua (Joshua) sent
messengers, and they ran to the tent;
and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the
silver under it.
23 And they took them out of the midst
of the tent, and brought them to
Yahushua (Joshua), and to all the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and laid
4 This is not burning on the stake as shown in
popular movies but a burning hot wick was put in
the mouth of the offender. After that he was
stoned to cause the person to die very quickly and
with the least pain with the wick.
 Yahushua (Joshua)
them out before hwhy.
24 And Yahushua (Joshua), and all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) with him, took Akhan
the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the
garment, and the wedge of gold, and his
sons, and his daughters, and his oxen,
and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his
tent, and all that he had: and they brought
them to the valley of Akhor.
25 And Yahushua (Joshua) said, Why
have you troubled us? hwhy shall trouble
you this day. And all Yah’sar’el (Israel)
stoned him with stones, and burned them
with fire, after they had stoned them with
stones.
26 And they raised over him a great
heap of stones to this day. So hwhy
turned from the fierceness of his anger.
Wherefore the name of that place was
called, The valley of Akhor, to this day.
Chapter 8
1 And hwhy said to Yahushua (Joshua),
Fear not, neither be dismayed: you take
all the people of war with you, and arise,
go up to Ai: see, I have given into your
hand the king of Ai, and his people, and
his city, and his land:
2 And you shall do to Ai and her king as
you did to Yericho (Jericho) and her king:
only the spoil thereof, and the cattle
thereof, shall you take for a prey to
yourselves: you lay an ambush for the
city behind it.
3 So Yahushua (Joshua) arose, and all
the people of war, to go up against Ai:
and Yahushua (Joshua) chose out thirty
thousand mighty men of valour, and sent
them away by night.
4 And he commanded them, saying,
Behold, you shall lie in wait against the
city, even behind the city: go not very far
from the city, but you be all ready:
5 And I, and all the people that are with
me, will approach to the city: and it shall
come to pass, when they come out
against us, as at the first, that we will flee
before them,
6 (For they will come out after us) till we
have drawn them from the city; for they
426
will say, They flee before us, as at the
first: therefore we will flee before them.
7 Then you shall rise up from the
ambush, and seize the city: for hwhy your
Elohim will deliver it into your hand.
8 And it shall be, when you have taken
the city, that you shall set the city on fire:
according to the commandment of hwhy
shall you do. See, I have commanded
you.
9 Yahushua (Joshua) therefore sent
them forth: and they went to lie in
ambush, and abode between Beyth’el
and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but
Yahushua (Joshua) lodged that night
among the people.
10 And Yahushua (Joshua) rose up
early in the morning, and numbered the
people, and went up, he and the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), before the people to
Ai.
11 And all the people, even the people
of war that were with him, went up, and
drew near, and came before the city, and
pitched on the north side of Ai: now there
was a valley between them and Ai.
12 And he took about five thousand
men, and set them to lie in ambush
between Beyth’el and Ai, on the west side
of the city.
13 And when they had set the people,
even all the camp that was on the north
of the city, and its rear guard in wait on
the west of the city, Yahushua (Joshua)
went that night into the midst of the
valley.
14 And it came to pass, when the king
of Ai saw it, that they hurried and rose up
early, and the men of the city went out
against Yah’sar’el (Israel) to battle, he
and all his people, at a time appointed,
before the plain; but he was not aware
that there was a rear guard waiting in
ambush against him behind the city.
15 And Yahushua (Joshua) and all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) made as if they were
beaten before them, and fled by the way
of the wilderness.
16 And all the people that were in Ai
were called together to pursue after them:
 Yahushua (Joshua)
and they pursued after Yahushua
(Joshua), and were drawn away from the
city.
17 And there was not a man left in Ai or
Beyth’el, that went not out after Yah’sar’el
(Israel): and they left the city open, and
pursued after Yah’sar’el (Israel).
18 And hwhy said to Yahushua
(Joshua), Stretch out the spear that is in
your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into
your hand. And Yahushua (Joshua)
stretched out the spear that he had in his
hand toward the city.
19 And the ambush arose quickly out of
their place, and they ran as soon as he
had stretched out his hand: and they
entered into the city, and took it, and
hastened to burn the city with fire.
20 And when the men of Ai looked
behind them, they saw, and, behold, the
smoke of the city ascended up to
shamayim (heavens), and they had no
power to flee this way or that way: and
the people that fled to the wilderness
turned back upon the pursuers.
21 And when Yahushua (Joshua) and
all Yah’sar’el (Israel) saw that the
ambush had taken the city, and that the
smoke of the city ascended, then they
turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
22 And the other issued out of the city
against them; so they were in the midst of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), some on this side, and
some on that side: and they smote them,
so that they let none of them remain or
escape.
23 And the king of Ai they took alive,
and brought him to Yahushua (Joshua).
24 And it came to pass, when Yah’sar’el
(Israel) had made an end of slaying all
the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the
wilderness wherein they chased them,
and when they were all fallen on the edge
of the sword, until they were consumed,
that all the Israelites returned to Ai, and
smote it with the edge of the sword.
25 And so it was, that all that fell that
day, both of men and women, were
twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
26 For Yahushua (Joshua) drew not his
427
hand back, wherewith he stretched out
the spear, until he had utterly destroyed
all the inhabitants of Ai.
27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that
city Yah’sar’el (Israel) took for a prey to
themselves, according to the word of
hwhy which he commanded Yahushua
(Joshua).
28 And Yahushua (Joshua) burnt Ai,
and made it a heap forever, even a
desolation to this day.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a
etz (tree) until evening: and as soon as
the sun was down, Yahushua (Joshua)
commanded that they should take his
carcass down from the etz (tree), and
cast it at the entering of the gate of the
city, and raise thereon a great heap of
stones, that remains to this day.
30 Then Yahushua (Joshua) built an
altar to hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
in Mount Ebal,
31 As Musa (Moses) the servant of
hwhy commanded the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), as it is written in the
scroll of the Torah of Musa (Moses), an
altar of whole stones, over which no man
has lift up any iron: and they offered
thereon burnt offerings to hwhy, and
sacrificed peace offerings.
32 And he wrote there upon the stones
a copy of the Torah of Musa (Moses),
which he wrote in the presence of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
33 And all Yah’sar’el (Israel), and their
elders, and officers, and their judges,
stood on this side the ark and on that side
before the kohenim (priests) the Lewites,
which bare the ark of the covenant of
hwhy, as well the foreigner, as he that
was born among them; half of them over
against Mount Gerizim, and half of them
over against Mount Ebal; as Musa
(Moses) the servant of hwhy had
commanded before, that they should
bless the people of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
34 And afterward he read all the words
of the Torah, the blessings and curses,
according to all that is written in the scroll
of the Torah.
 Yahushua (Joshua)
35 There was not a word of all that
Musa (Moses) commanded, which
Yahushua (Joshua) read not before all
the congregation of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
with the women, and the little ones, and
the strangers that were conversant
among them.
Chapter 9
1 And it came to pass, when all the
kings which were on this side of the
Yardan (Jordan), in the hills, and in the
valleys, and in all the coasts of the great
sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and
the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite,
the Chivite, and the Yebusite, heard
thereof;
2 That they gathered themselves
together, to fight with Yahushua (Joshua)
and with Yah’sar’el (Israel), with one
accord.
3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon
heard what Yahushua (Joshua) had done
to Yericho (Jericho) and to Ai,
4 They did act slyly, and went and made
as if they had been ambassadors, and
took old sacks upon their donkeys, and
wine bottles, old, and torn, and bound up;
5 And patched sandals on their feet,
and old garments upon them; and all the
lechem (bread) of their provision was dry
and mouldy.
6 And they went to Yahushua (Joshua)
to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him,
and to the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel), We
be come from a far country: now
therefore make an covenant with us.
7 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel) said
to the Hivites, Peradventure you dwell
among us; and how shall we make a
covenant with you?
8 And they said to Yahushua (Joshua),
We are your servants. And Yahushua
(Joshua) said to them, Who are you? And
from where do you come?
9 And they said to him, From a very far
country your servants are come because
of the name of hwhy your Elohim: for we
have heard the fame of him, and all that
he did in Mitzrayim (Egypt),
428
10 And all that he did to the two kings of
the Amorites, that were beyond Yardan
(Jordan), to Sihon king of Heshbon, and
to Og king of Bashan, which was at
Ashtaroth.
11 Wherefore our elders and all the
inhabitants of our country spoke to us,
saying, Take supplies with you for the
journey, and go to meet them, and say to
them, We are your servants: therefore
now make you a covenant with us.
12 This our lechem (bread) we took hot
for our provisions out of our houses on
the day we came forth to go to you; but
now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
13 And these bottles of wine, which we
filled, were new; and, behold, they be
torn: and these our garments and our
shoes are become old by reason of the
very long journey.
14 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
took their supplies, and asked not the
counsel of hwhy.
15 And Yahushua (Joshua) made
peace with them, and made a covenant
with them, to let them live: and the
princes of the congregation swore to
them.
16 And it came to pass at the end of
three days after they had made a
covenant with them, that they heard that
they were their neighbours, and that they
dwelt among them.
17 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
journeyed, and came to their cities on the
third day. Now their cities were Gibeon,
and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryath-
Yearim.
18 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
smote them not, because the princes of
the congregation had sworn to them by
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel). And
all the congregation complained against
the princes.
19 But all the princes said to all the
congregation, We have sworn to them by
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel): now
therefore we may not touch them.
20 This we will do to them; we will even
let them live, lest wrath be upon us,
 Yahushua (Joshua)
because of the oath which we swore to
them.
21 And the princes said to them, Let
them live; but let them be woodcutters
and drawers of mayim (water) to all the
congregation; as the princes had
promised them.
22 And Yahushua (Joshua) called for
them, and he spoke to them, saying, why
have you deceived us, saying, We are
very far from you; when you dwell among
us?
23 Now therefore you are cursed, and
there shall none of you be freed from
being bondmen, and woodcutters and
drawers of mayim (water) for the house of
my Elohim.
24 And they answered Yahushua
(Joshua), and said, Because it was
certainly told your servants, how that
hwhy your Elohim commanded his
servant Musa (Moses) to give you all the
land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of
the land from before you, therefore we
were severely afraid of our lives because
of you, and have done this thing.
25 And now, behold, we are in your
hand: as it seems good and right to you
to do to us.
26 And so did he to them, and delivered
them out of the hand of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they slew them
not.
27 And Yahushua (Joshua) made them
that day woodcutters and drawers of
mayim (water) for the congregation, and
for the altar of hwhy, even to this day, in
the place which he should choose.
Chapter 10
1 Now it came to pass, when Adoni-
zedek king of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
had heard how Yahushua (Joshua) had
taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as
he had done to Yericho (Jericho) and her
king, so he had done to Ai and her king;
and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had
made peace with Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
were among them;
2 That they feared greatly, because
429
Gibeon was a great city, as one of the
royal cities, and because it was greater
than Ai, and all the men thereof were
mighty.
3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) sent to Hoham
king of Hebron, and to Piram king of
Yarmuth, and to Yaphia king of Lakish,
and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
4 Come up to me, and help me, that we
may smite Gibeon: for it has made peace
with Yahushua (Joshua) and with the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 Therefore the five kings of the
Amorites, the king of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), the king of Hebron, the king
of Yarmuth, the king of Lakish, the king of
Eglon, gathered themselves together,
and went up, they and all their hosts, and
encamped before Gibeon, and made war
against it.
6 And the men of Gibeon sent to
Yahushua (Joshua) to the camp to Gilgal,
saying, Slack not your hand from your
servants; come up to us quickly, and
save us, and help us: for all the kings of
the Amorites that dwell in the mountains
are gathered together against us.
7 So Yahushua (Joshua) ascended from
Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with
him, and all the mighty men of valour.
8 And hwhy said to Yahushua
(Joshua), Fear them not: for I have
delivered them into your hand; there shall
not a man of them stand before you.
9 Yahushua (Joshua) therefore came to
them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal
all night.
10 And hwhy threw them into confusion
before Yah’sar’el (Israel), and slew them
with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and
chased them along the way that goes up
to Beyth-horon, and smote them to
Azekah, and to Makkedah.
11 And it came to pass, as they fled
from before Yah’sar’el (Israel), and were
in the going down to Beyth-horon, that
hwhy cast down great stones from
shamayim (heavens) upon them to
Azekah, and they died: they were more
 Yahushua (Joshua)
which died with hailstones than they
whom the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
slew with the sword.
12 Then spoke Yahushua (Joshua) to
hwhy in the day when hwhy delivered up
the Amorites before the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and he said in the
sight of Yah’sar’el (Israel), Sun, stop
acting upon Gibeon; and, Moon, in the
valley of Ayalon.1
13 And the sun stopped acting, and the
moon stayed, until the people had
avenged themselves upon their enemies.
Is not this written in the scroll of Yahshar?
So the sun stood still in the midst of
1 Joshua had no idea that his command slowed
down 6.6 sextrillion tons of spinning gravel and
water to give Israel victory over her enemies.
But Joshua did know something that God had
revealed to him. Over 3,000 years ago he said
something that would have met the approval of
today’s scientific establishment. His command
in the Hebrew language was not "Sun, stand
thou still," but "Sun, cease acting, or "Sun, stop
working." It was then that the gravitational pull
of the sun affected the earth. It was then the
earth began to slow down and the day was
lengthened (Robert Boyd, Boyd’s Bible
Handbook, Eugene, Oregon: Harvest House,
1983 p. 124).
It has been objected that if in fact the earth
was stopped for a period of twenty-four hours,
inconceivable catastrophe would have befallen
the entire planet and everything on its surface.
While those who believe in the omnipotence of
God would hardly concede that Yahweh could
not have prevented such catastrophe and held
in abeyance the physical laws that might be
brought to pass, it does not seem to be
absolutely necessary (on the basis of the
Hebrew text itself) to hold that the planet was
suddenly halted in its rotation. Verse 13 states
that the sun "did not hasten to go down for
about a whole day" (NASB). The words "did not
hasten" seem to point to a retardation of the
movement so that the rotation required forty-
eight hours rather than the usual twenty-four
(Gleason Archer, Encyclopedia of Bible
Difficulties, Grand Rapids, Michigan:
Zondervan, 1982, p. 161).
430
shamayim (heavens), and hasted not to
go down about a whole day.2
14 And there was no day like that
before it or after it, that hwhy hearkened
to the voice of a man: for hwhy fought for
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
15 And Yahushua (Joshua) returned,
and all Yah’sar’el (Israel) with him, to the
camp to Gilgal.
16 But these five kings fled, and hid
themselves in a cave at Makkedah.3
17 And Yahushua (Joshua), was
informed saying, The five kings are found
hid in a cave at Makkedah.
18 And Yahushua (Joshua) said, Roll
great stones upon the mouth of the cave,
and set men by it for to keep them:
19 And stay not, but pursue after your
enemies, and smite them in the rear; do
not allow them not to enter into their
cities: for hwhy your Elohim has delivered
them into your hand.
20 And it came to pass, when
Yahushua (Joshua) and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) had made an end of
slaying them with a very great slaughter,
till they were consumed, that the rest
which remained of them entered into
fenced cities.
21 And all the people returned to the
camp to Yahushua (Joshua) at Makkedah
in peace: none moved his tongue against
any of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
22 Then said Yahushua (Joshua), Open
the mouth of the cave, and bring out
those five kings to me out of the cave.
23 And they did so, and brought forth
those five kings to him out of the cave,
the king of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), the
king of Hebron, the king of Yarmuth, the
king of Lakish, and the king of Eglon.
24 And it came to pass, when they
2 This is absolutely incredible that even the planets
such as the Sun and the Moon stood still for a
whole day.
3 The same picture of kings hiding behind caves as
in Rev 6:15.
 Yahushua (Joshua)
brought out those kings to Yahushua
(Joshua), that Yahushua (Joshua) called
for all the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
said to the commanders of the men of
war which went with him, Come here, put
your feet upon the necks of these kings.
And they came near, and put their feet
upon the necks of them.
25 And Yahushua (Joshua) said to
them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be
strong and of good courage: for thus shall
hwhy do to all your enemies against
whom you fight.
26 And afterward Yahushua (Joshua)
smote them, and slew them, and hanged
them on five etzim (trees): and they were
hanging upon the etzim (trees) until the
evening.
27 And it came to pass at the time of the
going down of the sun, that Yahushua
(Joshua) commanded, and they took
them down off the etzim (trees), and cast
them into the cave wherein they had
been hid, and laid great stones in the
cave's mouth, which remain until this very
day.
28 And that day Yahushua (Joshua)
took Makkedah, and smote it with the
edge of the sword, and the king thereof
he utterly destroyed, them, and all the
souls that were therein; he let none
remain: and he did to the king of
Makkedah as he did to the king of
Yericho (Jericho).
29 Then Yahushua (Joshua) passed
from Makkedah, and all Yah’sar’el (Israel)
with him, to Libnah, and fought against
Libnah:
30 And hwhy delivered it also, and the
king thereof, into the hand of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); and he smote it with the edge of
the sword, and all the souls that were
therein; he let none remain in it; but did to
the king thereof as he did to the king of
Yericho (Jericho).
31 And Yahushua (Joshua) passed from
Libnah, and all Yah’sar’el (Israel) with
him, to Lakish, and encamped against it,
and fought against it:
32 And hwhy delivered Lakish into the
431
hand of Yah’sar’el (Israel), which took it
on the second day, and smote it with the
edge of the sword, and all the souls that
were therein, according to all that he had
done to Libnah.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up
to help Lakish; and Yahushua (Joshua)
smote him and his people, until he had
left him none remaining.
34 And from Lakish Yahushua (Joshua)
passed to Eglon, and all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) with him; and they encamped
against it, and fought against it:
35 And they took it on that day, and
smote it with the edge of the sword, and
all the souls that were therein he utterly
destroyed that day, according to all that
he had done to Lakish.
36 And Yahushua (Joshua) went up
from Eglon, and all Yah’sar’el (Israel) with
him, to Hebron; and they fought against
it:
37 And they took it, and smote it with
the edge of the sword, and the king
thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all
the souls that were therein; he left none
remaining, according to all that he had
done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly,
and all the souls that were therein.
38 And Yahushua (Joshua) returned,
and all Yah’sar’el (Israel) with him, to
Debir; and fought against it:
39 And he took it, and the king thereof,
and all the cities thereof; and they smote
them with the edge of the sword, and
utterly destroyed all the souls that were
therein; he left none remaining: as he had
done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and
to the king thereof; as he had done also
to Libnah, and to her king.
40 So Yahushua (Joshua) smote all the
country of the hills, and of the south, and
of the vale, and of the springs, and all
their kings: he left none remaining, but
utterly destroyed all that breathed, as
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
commanded.
41 And Yahushua (Joshua) smote them
from Kadesh-Barnea even to Azzah
(Gaza), and all the country of Goshen,
 Yahushua (Joshua)
even to Gibeon.
42 And all these kings and their land did
Yahushua (Joshua) take at one time,
because hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) fought for Yah’sar’el (Israel).
43 And Yahushua (Joshua) returned,
and all Yah’sar’el (Israel) with him, to the
camp to Gilgal.
Chapter 11
1 And it came to pass, when Yabin king
of Khatzor (Hazor) had heard those
things, that he sent to Yobab king of
Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and
to the king of Akshaf,
2 And to the kings that were on the
north of the mountains, and of the plains
south of Kinneroth, and in the valley, and
in the borders of Dor on the west,
3 And to the Canaanite on the east and
on the west, and to the Amorite, and the
Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the
Yebusite in the mountains, and to the
Chivite under Hermon in the land of
Mizpeh.
4 And they went out, they and all their
camps with them, much people, even as
the sand that is upon the seashore in
multitude, with very many horses and
chariots.
5 And when all these kings were met
together, they came and pitched together
at the waters of Merom, to fight against
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
6 And hwhy said to Yahushua (Joshua),
Be not afraid because of them: for
tomorrow about this time will I deliver
them up all slain before Yah’sar’el
(Israel): you shall hamstring their horses,
and burn their chariots with fire.
7 So Yahushua (Joshua) came, and all
the people of war with him, against them
by the waters of Merom suddenly; and
they fell upon them.
8 And hwhy delivered them into the
hand of Yah’sar’el (Israel), who smote
them, and chased them to great Sidon,
and to Mishrephoth-mayim, and to the
valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they
smote them, until they left them none
432
remaining.
9 And Yahushua (Joshua) did to them
as hwhy said to him: he hamstrung their
horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 And Yahushua (Joshua) at that time
turned back, and took Khatzor (Hazor),
and smote the king thereof with the
sword: for Khatzor (Hazor) beforetime
was the head of all those kingdoms.
11 And they smote all the souls that
were therein with the edge of the sword,
utterly destroying them: there was not
any left to breathe: and he burnt Khatzor
(Hazor) with fire.
12 And all the cities of those kings, and
all the kings of them, did Yahushua
(Joshua) take, and smote them with the
edge of the sword, and he utterly
destroyed them, as Musa (Moses) the
servant of hwhy commanded.
13 But as for the cities that stood still in
their strength, Yah’sar’el (Israel) burned
none of them, save Khatzor (Hazor) only;
that did Yahushua (Joshua) burn.
14 And all the spoil of these cities, and
the cattle, the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) took for booty to themselves; but
every man they smote with the edge of
the sword, until they had destroyed them,
neither left they any to breathe.
15 As hwhy commanded Musa
(Moses) his servant, so did Musa
(Moses) command Yahushua (Joshua),
and so did Yahushua (Joshua); he left
nothing undone of all that hwhy
commanded Musa (Moses).
16 So Yahushua (Joshua) took all that
land, the hills, and all the south country,
and all the land of Goshen, and the
valley, and the plain, and the mountain of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and the valley of the
same;
17 Even from the Mount Halak, that
goes up to Seir, even to Baal-Gawd1 in
1 We even find this deity called ‘God’ in Lebanon
called Baal-Gawd or husband (Master) God, hence
why we are commanded not to use this false title.
 Yahushua (Joshua)
the valley of Lebanon under Mount
Hermon: and all their kings he took, and
smote them, and slew them.
18 Yahushua (Joshua) made war a long
time with all those kings.
19 There was not a city that made
peace with the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), save the Hivites the inhabitants
of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.
20 For it was of hwhy to harden their
hearts, that they should come against
Yah’sar’el (Israel) in battle, that he might
destroy them utterly, and that they might
have no favour, but that he might destroy
them, as hwhy commanded Musa
(Moses).
21 And at that time came Yahushua
(Joshua), and cut off the Anakims from
the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir,
from Anab, and from all the mountains of
Yahudah (Judah), and from all the
mountains of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
Yahushua (Joshua) destroyed them
utterly with their cities.
22 There was none of the Anakims left
in the land of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): only in Azzah (Gaza), in Gath,
and in Ashdod, there remained.
23 So Yahushua (Joshua) took the
whole land, according to all that hwhy
said to Musa (Moses); and Yahushua
(Joshua) gave it for an inheritance to
Yah’sar’el (Israel) according to their
divisions by their tribes. And the land
rested from war.
Chapter 12
1 Now these are the kings of the land,
which the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
smote, and possessed their land on the
other side Yardan (Jordan) toward the
rising of the sun, from the river Arnon to
Mount Hermon, and all the plain on the
east:
2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt
in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which
is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and
from the middle of the river, and from half
Gilead, even to the river Yabbok, which is
the border of the children of Ammon;
433
3 And from the plain to the sea of
Kinneroth on the east, and to the sea of
the plain, even the salt sea on the east,
the way to Beyth-Yeshimoth; and from
the south, under Ashdoth-pisgah:
4 And the coast of Og king of Bashan,
which was of the remnant of the giants,
that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5 And reigned in Mount Hermon, and in
Salcah, and in all Bashan, to the border
of the Geshurites and the Maachathites,
and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king
of Heshbon.
6 Them did Musa (Moses) the servant
of hwhy and the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) smite: and Musa (Moses) the
servant of hwhy gave it for a possession
to the Reubenites, and the Gawdites, and
the half tribe of Manashsheh.
7 And these are the kings of the country
which Yahushua (Joshua) and the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) smote on
this side Yardan (Jordan) on the west,
from Baal-Gawd in the valley of Lebanon
even to the Mount Halak, that goes up to
Seir; which Yahushua (Joshua) gave to
the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel) for a
possession according to their divisions;
8 In the mountains, and in the valleys,
and in the plains, and in the springs, and
in the wilderness, and in the south
country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and
the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the
Hivites, and the Yebusites:
9 The king of Yericho (Jericho), one;
the king of Ai, which is beside Beyth’el,
one;
10 The king of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), one; the king of Hebron,
one;
11 The king of Yarmuth, one; the king of
Lakish, one;
12 The king of Eglon, one; the king of
Gezer, one;
13 The king of Debir, one; the king of
Geder, one;
14 The king of Hormah, one; the king of
Arad, one;
15 The king of Libnah, one; the king of
Adullam, one;
 Yahushua (Joshua)
16 The king of Makkedah, one; the king
of Beyth’el, one;
17 The king of Tappuah, one; the king
of Chepher, one;
18 The king of Aphek, one; the king of
Lasharon, one;
19 The king of Madon, one; the king of
Khatzor (Hazor), one;
20 The king of Shimron-meron, one; the
king of Akshaf, one;
21 The king of Taanach, one; the king
of Megiddo, one;
22 The king of Kedesh, one; the king of
Yokneam of Carmel, one;
23 The king of Dor in the coast of Dor,
one; the king of the nations of Gilgal, one;
24 The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings
thirty and one.
Chapter 13
1 Now Yahushua (Joshua) was old and
stricken in years; and hwhy said to him,
You are old and stricken in years, and
there remains yet very much land to be
possessed.
2 This is the land that yet remains: all
the borders of the Plushtim (Philistines),
and all Geshuri,
3 From Sihor, which is before Mitzrayim
(Egypt), even to the borders of Ekron
northward, which is counted to the
Canaanite: five masters of the Plushtim
(Philistines); the Azzahthites
(Gazathites), and the Ashdothites, the
Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the
Ekronites; also the Awwites:
4 From the south, all the land of the
Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside
the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the borders of
the Amorites:
5 And the land of the Giblites, and all
Lebanon, toward the sun rising, from
Baal-Gawd under Mount Hermon to the
entering into Hamath.
6 All the inhabitants of the hill country
from Lebanon to Mishrephoth-mayim,
and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out
from before the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): only divide you it by lot to the
Israelites for an inheritance, as I have
434
commanded you.
7 Now therefore divide this land for an
inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half
tribe of Manashsheh,
8 With whom the Reubenites and the
Gawdites have received their inheritance,
which Musa (Moses) gave them, beyond
Yardan (Jordan) eastward, even as Musa
(Moses) the servant of hwhy gave them;
9 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of
the river Arnon, and the city that is in the
midst of the river, and all the plain of
Medeba to Dibon;
10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the
Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, to
the border of the children of Ammon;
11 And Gilead, and the border of the
Geshurites and Maachathites, and all
Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salcah;
12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan,
which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei,
who remained of the remnant of the
giants: for these did Musa (Moses) smite,
and cast them out.
13 Nevertheless the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) expelled not the
Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the
Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell
among the Israelites until this day.
14 Only to the tribe of Lewi he gave
none inheritance; the sacrifices of hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) made by fire
are their inheritance, as he said to them.
15 And Musa (Moses) gave to the tribe
of the children of Reuben inheritance
according to their families.
16 And their coast was from Aroer, that
is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the
city that is in the midst of the river, and all
the plain by Medeba;
17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in
the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and
Beyth-baal-meon,
18 And Yahtzah, and Kedemoth, and
Mephaath,
19 And Kiryathaim, and Sibmah, and
Zareth-shahar in the Mount of the valley,
20 And Beyth-peor, and Ashdoth-
pisgah, and Beyth-Yeshimoth,
21 And all the cities of the plain, and all
 Yahushua (Joshua)
the kingdom of Sihon king of the
Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon,
whom Musa (Moses) smote with the
princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and
Tsur, and Hur, and Reba, which were
dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the
soothsayer, did the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) slay with the sword among them
that were slain by them.
23 And the border of the children of
Reuben was Yardan (Jordan), and the
border thereof. This was the inheritance
of the children of Reuben after their
families, the cities and the villages
thereof.
24 And Musa (Moses) gave inheritance
to the tribe of Gawd, even to the children
of Gawd according to their families.
25 And their coast was Yazer, and all
the cities of Gilead, and half the land of
the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is
before Rabbah;
26 And from Heshbon to Ramath-
mizpeh, and Betonim; and from
Mahanaim to the border of Debir;
27 And in the valley, Beyth-aram, and
Beyth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon,
the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of
Heshbon, Yardan (Jordan) and his
border, even to the edge of the sea of
Kinnereth on the other side Yardan
(Jordan) eastward.
28 This is the inheritance of the children
of Gawd after their families, the cities,
and their villages.
29 And Musa (Moses) gave inheritance
to the half tribe of Manashsheh: and this
was the possession of the half tribe of the
children of Manashsheh by their families.
30 And their coast was from Mahanaim,
all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of
Bashan, and all the towns of Yair, which
are in Bashan, sixty cities:
31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and
Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in
Bashan, were pertaining to the children of
Machir the son of Manashsheh, even to
the one half of the children of Machir by
their families.
435
32 These are the countries which Musa
(Moses) did distribute for inheritance in
the plains of Moab, on the other side
Yardan (Jordan), by Yericho (Jericho),
eastward.
33 But to the tribe of Lewi Musa
(Moses) gave no inheritance: hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) was their
inheritance, as he said to them.
Chapter 14
1 And these are the countries which the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) inherited in
the land of Canaan, which Eli’ezer the
Kohen (priest), and Yahushua (Joshua)
the son of Nun, and the heads of the
ahvot (fathers) of the tribes of the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), distributed for
inheritance to them.
2 By lot was their inheritance, as hwhy
commanded by the hand of Musa
(Moses), for the nine tribes, and for the
half tribe.
3 For Musa (Moses) had given the
inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe
on the other side Yardan (Jordan): but to
the Lewites he gave none inheritance
among them.
4 For the children of Yosef were two
tribes, Manashsheh and Ephraim:
therefore they gave no part to the Lewites
in the land, save cities to dwell in, with
their suburbs for their cattle and for their
substance.
5 As hwhy commanded Musa (Moses),
so the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) did,
and they divided the land.
6 Then the children of Yahudah (Judah)
came to Yahushua (Joshua) in Gilgal:
and Caleb the son of Yephunneh the
Kenezite said to him, You know the thing
that hwhy said to Musa (Moses) the man
of Elohim concerning me and you in
Kadesh-Barnea.
7 Forty years old was I when Musa
(Moses) the servant of hwhy sent me
from Kadesh-Barnea to spy out the land;
and I brought him word again as it was in
my heart.
8 Nevertheless my brethren that went
 Yahushua (Joshua)
up with me made the heart of the people
melt: but I wholly followed hwhy my
Elohim.
9 And Musa (Moses) swore on that day,
saying, Surely the land whereon your feet
have trodden shall be your inheritance,
and your children's forever, because you
have wholly followed hwhy my Elohim.
10 And now, behold, hwhy has kept me
alive, as he said, these forty and five
years, even since hwhy spoke this word
to Musa (Moses), while the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) wandered in the
wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day
eighty-five years old.
11 As yet I am as strong this day as I
was in the day that Musa (Moses) sent
me: as my strength was then, even so is
my strength now, for war, both to go out,
and to come in.
12 Now therefore give me this
mountain, whereof hwhy spoke in that
day; for you heard in that day how the
Anakims were there, and that the cities
were great and fenced: if so be hwhy will
be with me, then I shall be able to drive
them out, as hwhy said.
13 And Yahushua (Joshua) blessed
him, and gave to Caleb1 the son of
Yephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
14 Hebron therefore became the
inheritance of Caleb the son of
Yephunneh the Kenezite to this day,
because that he wholly followed hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel). 2 7 And the border went up toward Debir
1 Ca-Lev means a big hearted man and he was a
Kennazite (Kenaz was from the genealogy of Esav)
but made a decision to follow the True Elohim of
Israel.
2 Even though Caleb was not originally from Israel
but after his conversion he became a full Israelite,
not half and not spiritual but full Hebrew Israelite.
YHWH gave him inheritance in Judah. Yet many
Messianics today are stuck in a time-warp and
cannot decide if the gentiles coming in are full
breed Hebrews or just gentiles. They are not
gentiles but fully Hebrew and Israelites that is how
YHWH sees them. Any man calling himself a
436
15 And the name of Hebron before was
Kiryath-arba; which Arba was a great
man among the Anakims. And the land
had rest from war.
Chapter 15
1 This then was the lot of the tribe of the
children of Yahudah (Judah) by their
families; even to the border of Edom the
wilderness of Zin southward was the
uttermost part of the south coast.
2 And their south border was from the
shore of the salt sea, from the bay that
looks southward:
3 And it went out to the south side to
Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to
Zin, and ascended up on the south side
to Kadesh-Barnea, and passed along to
Hetzron, and went up to Adar, and
fetched a compass to Karkaa:
4 From there it passed toward Azmon,
and went out to the river of Mitzrayim
(Egypt); and the goings out of that coast
were at the sea: this shall be your south
coast.
5 And the east border was the salt sea,
even to the end of Yardan (Jordan). And
their border in the north quarter was from
the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of
Yardan (Jordan):
6 And the border went up to Beyth-
hogla, and passed along by the north of
Beyth-haarabah; and the border went up
to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
from the valley of Akhor, and so
northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is
before the going up to Adummim, which
is on the south side of the river: and the
border passed toward the waters of En-
shemesh, and the goings out thereof
were at En-rogel:
8 And the border went up by the valley
of the son of Hinnom to the south side of
the Yebusite; the same is Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem): and the border went up to
gentile has nothing to do with YHWH’s covenant
because he is a heathen by definition.
 Yahushua (Joshua)
the top of the mountain that lies before
the valley of Hinnom westward, which is
at the end of the valley of the giants
northward:
9 And the border was drawn from the
top of the hill to the fountain of the mayim
(water) of Nephtoah, and went out to the
cities of Mount Ephron; and the border
was drawn to Baalah, which is Kiryath-
Yearim:
10 And the border compassed from
Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and
passed along to the side of Mount
Yearim, which is Chesalon, on the north
side, and went down to Beyth-shemesh,
and passed on to Timnah:
11 And the border went out to the side
of Ekron northward: and the border was
drawn to Shicron, and passed along to
Mount Baalah, and went out to Yabne’el;
and the goings out of the border were at
the sea.
12 And the west border was to the great
sea, and the coast thereof. This is the
coast of the children of Yahudah (Judah)
roundabout according to their families.
13 And to Caleb the son of Yephunneh
he gave a part among the children of
Yahudah (Judah), according to the
commandment of hwhy to Yahushua
(Joshua), even the city of Arba the father
of Anak, which city is Hebron.
14 And Caleb drove there the three
sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and
Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 And he went up there to the
inhabitants of Debir: and the name of
Debir before was Kiryath-sepher.
16 And Caleb said, He that smites
Kiryath-sepher, and takes it, to him will I
give Aksah my daughter to wife.
17 And Othni’el the son of Kenaz, the
brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him
Aksah his daughter to wife.
18 And it came to pass, as she came to
him, that she moved him to ask of her
father a field: and she lighted off her ass;
and Caleb said to her, What is the
matter?
19 Who answered, Give me a blessing;
437
for you have given me a south land; give
me also springs of mayim (waters). And
he gave her the upper springs, and the
lower springs.
20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Yahudah (Judah)
according to their families.
21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe
of the children of Yahudah (Judah)
toward the coast of Edom southward
were Kabze’el, and Eder, and Yagur,
22 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and
Adadah,
23 And Kedesh, and Khatzor (Hazor),
and Ithnan,

with their villages:
 Yahushua (Joshua)
42 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,
43 And Yiphtah, and Ashnah, and
Nezib,
44 And Keilah, and Akhzib, and
Mareshah; nine cities with their villages:
45 Ekron, with her towns and her
villages:
46 From Ekron even to the sea, all that
lay near Ashdod, with their villages:
47 Ashdod with her towns and her
villages, Azzah (Gaza) with her towns
and her villages, to the river of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and the great sea, and the
border thereof:
48 And in the mountains, Shamir, and
Yattir, and Socoh,
49 And Dannah, and Kiryath-sannah,
which is Debir,
50 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,

which is Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with
their villages:

56 And Yizre’el (Jezreel), and Yokdeam,
and Zenowah,

63 As for the Yebusites the inhabitants
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), the children
of Yahudah (Judah) could not drive them
out: but the Yebusites dwell with the
children of Yahudah (Judah) at
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to this day.
438
Chapter 16
1 And the lot of the children of Yosef fell
from Yardan (Jordan) by Yericho
(Jericho), to the mayim (water) of Yericho
(Jericho) on the east, to the wilderness
that goes up from Yericho (Jericho)
throughout Mount Beyth’el,
2 And goes out from Beyth’el to Luz,
and passes along to the borders of Archi
to Ataroth,
3 And goes down westward to the coast
of Yaphleti, to the coast of Beyth-horon
the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings
out thereof are at the sea.
4 So the children of Yosef, Manashsheh
and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 And the border of the children of
Ephraim according to their families was
thus: even the border of their inheritance
on the east side was Ataroth-addar, to
Beyth-horon the upper;
6 And the border went out toward the
sea to Michmethah on the north side; and
the border went about eastward to
Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the
east to Yanohah;
7 And it went down from Yanohah to
Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to
Yericho (Jericho), and went out at Yardan
(Jordan).
8 The border went out from Tappuah
westward to the river Kanah; and the
goings out thereof were at the sea. This
is the inheritance of the tribe of the
children of Ephraim by their families.
9 And the separate cities for the children
of Ephraim were among the inheritance
of the children of Manashsheh, all the
cities with their villages.
10 And they drove not out the
Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the
Canaanites dwell among the Ephramites
to this day, and serve under tribute.
Chapter 17
1 There was also a lot for the tribe of
Manashsheh; for he was the firstborn of
Yosef; was, for Machir the firstborn of
Manashsheh, the father of Gilead:
because he was a man of war, therefore
 Yahushua (Joshua)
he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 There was also a lot for the rest of the
children of Manashsheh by their families;
for the children of Abi’ezer, and for the
children of Helek, and for the children of
Asri’el, and for the children of Shechem,
and for the children of Chepher, and for
the children of Shemida: these were the
male children of Manashsheh the son of
Yosef by their families.
3 But Zelophehad, the son of Chepher,
the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the
son of Manashsheh, had no sons, but
daughters: and these are the names of
his daughters, Mahlah, and Noach
(Noah), Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 And they came near before Eli’ezer
the Kohen (priest), and before Yahushua
(Joshua) the son of Nun, and before the
princes, saying, hwhy commanded Musa
(Moses) to give us an inheritance among
our brethren. Therefore according to the
commandment of hwhy he gave them an
inheritance among the brethren of their
father.
5 And there fell ten portions to
Manashsheh, beside the land of Gilead
and Bashan, which were on the other
side Yardan (Jordan);
6 Because the daughters of
Manashsheh had an inheritance among
his sons: and the rest of Manashsheh's
sons had the land of Gilead.
7 And the coast of Manashsheh was
from Asher to Michmethah, that lies
before Shechem; and the border went
along on the right hand to the inhabitants
of En-tappuah.
8 Now Manashsheh had the land of
Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of
Manashsheh belonged to the children of
Ephraim;
9 And the coast descended to the river
Kanah, southward of the river: these
cities of Ephraim are among the cities of
Manashsheh: the coast of Manashsheh
also was on the north side of the river,
and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and
northward it was Manashsheh's, and the
439
sea is his border; and they met together
in Asher on the north, and in Yah’sachar
(Issachar) on the east.
11 And Manashsheh had in Yah’sachar
(Issachar) and in Asher Beyth-shean and
her towns, and Ibleam and her towns,
and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns,
and the inhabitants of En-dor and her
towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach
and her towns, and the inhabitants of
Megiddo and her towns, even three of the
heights.
12 Yet the children of Manashsheh
could not drive out the inhabitants of
those cities; but the Canaanites would
dwell in that land.
13 Yet it came to pass, when the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) were waxen
strong, that they put the Canaanites to
compulsory labour; but did not utterly
drive them out.
14 And the children of Yosef spoke to
Yahushua (Joshua), saying, Why have
you given me but one lot and one portion
to inherit, seeing I am a great people,
forasmuch as hwhy has blessed me until
now?
15 And Yahushua (Joshua) answered
them, If you be a great people, then go
up to the forest, and cut down for yourself
there in the land of the Perizzites and of
the giants, if Mount Ephraim be too
narrow for you.
16 And the children of Yosef said, The
hill is not enough for us: and all the
Canaanites that dwell in the land of the
valley have chariots of iron, both they
who are of Beyth-shean and her towns,
and they who are of the valley of Yizre’el
(Jezreel).
17 And Yahushua (Joshua) spoke to the
house of Yosef, even to Ephraim and to
Manashsheh, saying, You are a great
people, and have great power: you shall
not have one lot only:
18 But the mountain shall be your; for it
is a forest, and you shall cut it down: and
the outgoings of it shall be your: for you
shall drive out the Canaanites, though
they have iron chariots, and though they
 Yahushua (Joshua)
be strong.
Chapter 18
1 And the whole congregation of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) assembled
together at Shiloh, and set up the
tabernacle of the congregation there. And
the land was subdued before them.
2 And there remained among the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) seven
tribes, which had not yet received their
inheritance.
3 And Yahushua (Joshua) said to the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), How long
are you slack to go to possess the land,
which hwhy Elohim of your ahvot
(fathers) has given you?
4 Appoint from among you three men
for each tribe: and I will send them, and
they shall rise, and go through the land,
and describe it according to the
inheritance of them; and they shall come
again to me.
5 And they shall divide it into seven
parts: Yahudah (Judah) shall abide in
their coast on the south, and the house of
Yosef shall abide in their coasts on the
north.
6 You shall therefore describe the land
into seven parts, and bring the
description here to me, that I may cast
lots for you here before hwhy our Elohim.
7 But the Lewites have no part among
you; for the priesthood of hwhy is their
inheritance: and Gawd, and Reuben, and
half the tribe of Manashsheh, have
received their inheritance beyond Yardan
(Jordan) on the east, which Musa
(Moses) the servant of hwhy gave them.
8 And the men arose, and went away:
and Yahushua (Joshua) charged them
that went to describe the land, saying, Go
and walk through the land, and describe
it, and come again to me, that I may here
cast lots for you before hwhy in Shiloh.
9 And the men went and passed
through the land, and described it by
cities into seven parts in a scroll, and
came again to Yahushua (Joshua) to the
host at Shiloh.
440
10 And Yahushua (Joshua) cast lots for
them in Shiloh before hwhy: and there
Yahushua (Joshua) divided the land to
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
according to their divisions.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children
of Benyamin (Benjamin) came up
according to their families: and the coast
of their lot came forth between the
children of Yahudah (Judah) and the
children of Yosef.
12 And their border on the north side
was from Yardan (Jordan); and the
border went up to the side of Yericho
(Jericho) on the north side, and went up
through the mountains westward; and the
goings out thereof were at the wilderness
of Beyth-Awen.
13 And the border went over from there
toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is
Beyth’el, southward; and the border
descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill
that lies on the south side of the nether
Beyth-horon.
14 And the border was drawn there, and
went around the corner of the sea
southward, from the hill that lies before
Beyth-horon southward; and the goings
out thereof were at Kiryath-baal, which is
Kiryath-Yearim, a city of the children of
Yahudah (Judah): this was the west
quarter.
15 And the south quarter was from the
end of Kiryath-Yearim, and the border
went out on the west, and went out to the
well of waters of Nephtoah:
16 And the border came down to the
end of the mountain that lies before the
valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is
in the valley of the giants on the north,
and descended to the valley of Hinnom,
to the side of Yebusi on the south, and
descended to En-rogel,
17 And was drawn from the north, and
went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth
toward Geliloth, which is over against the
going up of Adummim, and descended to
the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18 And passed along toward the side
over against Arabah northward, and went
 Yahushua (Joshua)
down to Arabah:
19 And the border passed along to the
side of Beyth-hoglah northward: and the
outgoings of the border were at the north
bay of the salt sea at the south end of
Yardan (Jordan): this was the south
coast.
20 And Yardan (Jordan) was the border
of it on the east side. This was the
inheritance of the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin), by the coasts thereof
roundabout, according to their families.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the
children of Benyamin (Benjamin)
according to their families were Yericho
(Jericho), and Beyth-hoglah, and the
valley of Keziz,
22 And Beyth-haarabah, and Zemaraim,
and Beyth’el,
23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 And Kephar-haammonai, and Ophni,
and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 And Mizpeh, and Kephirah, and
Mozah,
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Yebusi, which
is Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), Gibeath,
and Kiryath; fourteen cities with their
villages. This is the inheritance of the
children of Benyamin (Benjamin)
according to their families.
Chapter 19
1 And the second lot came forth to
Shimeon, even for the tribe of the
children of Shimeon according to their
families: and their inheritance was within
the inheritance of the children of Yahudah
(Judah).
2 And they had in their inheritance
Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,
3 And Chatsar-shual, and Balah, and
Azem,
4 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
5 And Ziklag, and Beyth-marcaboth, and
Chatsar-susah,
6 And Beyth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen;
thirteen cities and their villages:
7 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan;
441
four cities and their villages:
8 And all the villages that were
roundabout these cities to Baalath-beer,
Ramath of the south. This is the
inheritance of the tribe of the children of
Shimeon according to their families.
9 Out of the portion of the children of
Yahudah (Judah) was the inheritance of
the children of Shimeon: for the part of
the children of Yahudah (Judah) was too
much for them: therefore the children of
Shimeon had their inheritance within the
inheritance of them.
10 And the third lot came up for the
children of Zebulun according to their
families: and the border of their
inheritance was to Sarid:
11 And their border went up toward the
sea, and Maralah, and reached to
Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that
is before Yokneam;
12 And turned from Sarid eastward
toward the sun rising to the border of
Kisloth-tabor, and then goes out to
Daberath, and goes up to Yaphia,
13 And from there passes on along on
the east to Gittah-Chepher, to Ittah-kazin,
and goes out to Remmon-methoar to
Neah;
14 And the border compassed it on the
north side to Hannathon: and the
outgoings thereof are in the valley of
Yiftha’el:
15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and
Shimron, and Idalah, and Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem): twelve cities with their
villages.
16 This is the inheritance of the children
of Zebulun according to their families,
these cities with their villages.
17 And the fourth lot came out to
Yah’sachar (Issachar), for the children of
Yah’sachar (Issachar) according to their
families.
18 And their border was toward Yizre’el
(Jezreel), and Kesulloth, and Shunem,
19 And Haphraim, and Shion, and
Anaharath,
20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,
21 And Remeth, and En-gannim, and
 Yahushua (Joshua)
En-haddah, and Beyth-pazzez;
22 And the coast reaches to Tabor, and
Shahazimah, and Beyth-shemesh; and
the outgoings of their border were at
Yardan (Jordan): sixteen cities with their
villages.
23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Yah’sachar (Issachar)
according to their families, the cities and
their villages.
24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe
of the children of Asher according to their
families.
25 And their border was Helkath, and
Hali, and Beten, and Akshaf,
26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and
Misheal; and reaches to Carmel
westward, and to Shihor-libnath;
27 And turns toward the sun rising to
Beyth-Dagon, and reaches to Zebulun,
and to the valley of Yiftha’el toward the
north side of Beyth-emek, and Nei’el, and
goes out to Kabul on the left hand,
28 And Hebron, and Rechob, and
Hammon, and Kanah, even to great
Sidon;
29 And then the coast turns to Ramah,
and to the strong city Tsor (Tyre); and the
coast turns to Hosah; and the outgoings
thereof are at the sea from the coast to
Akhzib:
30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and
Rechob: twenty and two cities with their
villages.
31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Asher according to their
families, these cities with their villages.
32 The sixth lot came out to the children
of Naphtali, even for the children of
Naphtali according to their families.
33 And their coast was from Heleph,
from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami,
Nekeb, and Yabne’el, to Lakum; and the
outgoings thereof were at Yardan
(Jordan):
34 And then the coast turns westward to
Aznoth-tabor, and goes out from there to
Hukkok, and reaches to Zebulun on the
south side, and reaches to Asher on the
west side, and to Yahudah (Judah) upon
442
Yardan (Jordan) toward the sun rising.
35 And the fenced cities are Ziddim,
Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and
Kinnereth,
36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and
Khatzor (Hazor),
37 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and En-
Khatzor (Hazor),
38 And Iron, and Migdal’el, Horem, and
Beyth-anath, and Beyth-shemesh;
nineteen cities with their villages.
39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Naphtali according to their
families, the cities and their villages.
40 And the seventh lot came out for the
tribe of the children of Dan according to
their families.
41 And the coast of their inheritance
was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh,
42 And Shaalabbin, and Ayalon, and
Yethlah,
43 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and
Ekron,
44 And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and
Baalath,
45 And Yehud, and Bene-berak, and
Gath-rimmon,
46 And Mey Yarkon, and Rakkon, with
the border before Yaffo.
47 And the coast of the children of Dan
went out too little for them: therefore the
children of Dan went up to fight against
Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the
edge of the sword, and possessed it, and
dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan,
after the name of Dan their father.
48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Dan according to their
families, these cities with their villages.
49 When they had made an end of
dividing the land for inheritance by their
coasts, the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
gave an inheritance to Yahushua
(Joshua) the son of Nun among them:
50 According to the word of hwhy they
gave him the city which he asked, even
Timnath-serah in Mount Ephraim: and he
built the city, and dwelt therein.
51 These are the inheritances, which
Eli’ezer the Kohen (priest), and Yahushua
 Yahushua (Joshua)
(Joshua) the son of Nun, and the heads
of the ahvot (fathers) of the tribes of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), divided for
an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before
hwhy, at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation. So they made an end of
dividing the country.
Chapter 20
1 hwhy also spoke to Yahushua
(Joshua), saying,
2 Speak to the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), saying, Appoint out for you cities
of refuge, whereof I spoke to you by the
hand of Musa (Moses):
3 That the slayer that kills any person
accidentally and unwittingly may flee
there: and they shall be your refuge from
the avenger of blood.
4 And when he that does flee to one of
those cities shall stand at the entering of
the gate of the city, and shall declare his
cause in the ears of the elders of that city,
they shall take him into the city to them,
and give him a place, that he may dwell
among them.
5 And if the avenger of blood pursue
after him, then they shall not deliver the
slayer up into his hand; because he
smote his neighbour unwittingly, and did
not hate him not before hand.
6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he
stand before the congregation for right-
ruling, and until the death of the Kohen
Ha Gadol (High Priest) that shall be in
those days: then shall the slayer return,
and come to his own city, and to his own
house, to the city from whence he fled.
7 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee
in Mount Naphtali, and Shechem in
Mount Ephraim, and Kiryath-arba, which
is Hebron, in the mountain of Yahudah
(Judah).
8 And on the other side Yardan (Jordan)
by Yericho (Jericho) eastward, they
assigned Betser in the wilderness upon
the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and
Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of
Gawd, and Golan in Bashan out of the
tribe of Manashsheh.
443
9 These were the cities appointed for all
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and for
the foreigner that sojourned among them,
that whosoever kills any person at
accidentally might flee there, and not die
by the hand of the avenger of blood, until
he stood before the congregation.
Chapter 21
1 Then came near the heads of the
ahvot (fathers) of the Lewites to Eli’ezer
the Kohen (priest), and to Yahushua
(Joshua) the son of Nun, and to the
heads of the ahvot (fathers) of the tribes
of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
2 And they spoke to them at Shiloh in
the land of Canaan, saying, hwhy
commanded by the hand of Musa
(Moses) to give us cities to dwell in, with
the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
3 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
gave to the Lewites out of their
inheritance, at the commandment of
hwhy, these cities and their suburbs.
4 And the lot came out for the families of
the Kohathites: and the children of
Aharon the Kohen (priest), which were of
the Lewites, had by lot out of the tribe of
Yahudah (Judah), and out of the tribe of
Shimeon, and out of the tribe of
Benyamin (Benjamin), thirteen cities.
5 And the rest of the children of Kohath
had by lot out of the families of the tribe
of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan,
and out of the half tribe of Manashsheh,
ten cities.
6 And the children of Gershon had by
lot out of the families of the tribe of
Yah’sachar (Issachar), and out of the
tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of
Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of
Manashsheh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
7 The children of Merari by their families
had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of
the tribe of Gawd, and out of the tribe of
Zebulun, twelve cities.
8 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
gave by lot to the Lewites these cities
with their suburbs, as hwhy commanded
by the hand of Musa (Moses).
 Yahushua (Joshua)
9 And they gave out of the tribe of the
children of Yahudah (Judah), and out of
the tribe of the children of Shimeon, these
cities which are here mentioned by name,
10 Which the children of Aharon, being
of the families of the Kohathites, who
were of the children of Lewi, had: for
their's was the first lot.
11 And they gave them the city of Arba
the father of Anak, which city is Hebron,
in the hill country of Yahudah (Judah),
with the suburbs thereof roundabout it.
12 But the fields of the city, and the
villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the
son of Yephunneh for his possession.
13 Thus they gave to the children of
Aharon the Kohen (priest) Hebron with
her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the
slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,
14 And Yattir with her suburbs, and
Eshtemoa with her suburbs,
15 And Holon with her suburbs, and
Debir with her suburbs,
16 And Ain with her suburbs, and
Yuttah with her suburbs, and Beyth-
shemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out
of those two tribes.
17 And out of the tribe of Benyamin
(Benjamin), Gibeon with her suburbs,
Geba with her suburbs,
18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and
Almon with her suburbs; four cities.
19 All the cities of the children of
Aharon, the kohenim (priests), were
thirteen cities with their suburbs.
20 And the families of the children of
Kohath, the Lewites which remained of
the children of Kohath, even they had the
cities of their lot out of the tribe of
Ephraim.
21 For they gave them Shechem with
her suburbs in Mount Ephraim, to be a
city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer
with her suburbs,
22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and
Beyth-horon with her suburbs; four cities.
23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh
with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her
suburbs,
24 Aiyalon with her suburbs, Gath-
444
rimmon with her suburbs; four cities.
25 And out of the half tribe of
Manashsheh, Tanach with her suburbs,
and Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; two
cities.
26 All the cities were ten with their
suburbs for the families of the children of
Kohath that remained.
27 And to the children of Gershon, of
the families of the Lewites, out of the
other half tribe of Manashsheh they gave
Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be
a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beesh-
Terach with her suburbs; two cities.
28 And out of the tribe of Yah’sachar
(Issachar), Kishon with her suburbs,
Dabareh with her suburbs,
29 Yarmuth with her suburbs, En-
gannim with her suburbs; four cities.
30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal
with her suburbs, Abdon with her
suburbs,
31 Helkath with her suburbs, and
Rechob with her suburbs; four cities.
32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali,
Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be
a city of refuge for the slayer; and
Hammoth-dor with her suburbs, and
Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.
33 All the cities of the Gershonites
according to their families were thirteen
cities with their suburbs.
34 And to the families of the children of
Merari, the rest of the Lewites, out of the
tribe of Zebulun, Yokneam with her
suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,
35 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal
with her suburbs; four cities.
36 And out of the tribe of Reuben,
Betser with her suburbs, and Yahtzah
with her suburbs,
37 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and
Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.
38 And out of the tribe of Gawd, Ramoth
in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of
refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with
her suburbs,
39 Heshbon with her suburbs, Yazer
with her suburbs; four cities in all.
40 So all the cities for the children of
 Yahushua (Joshua)
Merari by their families, which were
remaining of the families of the Lewites,
were by their lot twelve cities.
41 All the cities of the Lewites within the
possession of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) were forty and eight cities with
their suburbs.
42 These cities were every one with
their suburbs round about them: thus
were all these cities.
43 And hwhy gave to Yah’sar’el (Israel)
all the land which he swore to give to
their ahvot (fathers); and they possessed
it, and dwelt therein.
44 And hwhy gave them rest round
about, according to all that he swore to
their ahvot (fathers): and there stood not
a man of all their enemies before them;
hwhy delivered all their enemies into their
hand.
45 There failed not ought of any good
thing which hwhy had spoken to the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel); all came to
pass.
Chapter 22
1 Then Yahushua (Joshua) called the
Reubenites, and the Gawdites, and the
half tribe of Manashsheh,
2 And said to them, You have kept all
that Musa (Moses) the servant of hwhy
commanded you, and have obeyed my
voice in all that I commanded you:
3 You have not left your brethren these
many days to this day, but have kept the
charge of the commandment of hwhy
your Elohim.
4 And now hwhy your Elohim has given
rest to your brethren, as he promised
them: therefore now return you, and get
you to your tents, and to the land of your
possession, which Musa (Moses) the
servant of hwhy gave you on the other
side Yardan (Jordan).
5 But take diligent heed to do the
commandment and the Torah, which
Musa (Moses) the servant of hwhy
charged you, to love hwhy your Elohim,
and to walk in all his halachot (His
Torah), and to keep his commandments,
445
and to cling to him, and to serve him with
all your heart and with all your soul.
6 So Yahushua (Joshua) blessed them,
and sent them away: and they went to
their tents.
7 Now to the one half of the tribe of
Manashsheh Musa (Moses) had given
possession in Bashan: but to the other
half thereof gave Yahushua (Joshua)
among their brethren on this side of the
Yardan (Jordan) westward. And when
Yahushua (Joshua) sent them away also
to their tents, then he blessed them,
8 And he spoke to them, saying, Return
with much riches to your tents, and with
great amount of cattle, with silver, and
with gold, and with brass, and with iron,
and with very much raiment: divide the
spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
9 And the children of Reuben and the
children of Gawd and the half tribe of
Manashsheh returned, and departed from
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of
Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to
go to the country of Gilead, to the land of
their possession, whereof they were
possessed, according to the word of
hwhy by the hand of Musa (Moses).
10 And when they came to the borders
of Yardan (Jordan), that are in the land of
Canaan, the children of Reuben and the
children of Gawd and the half tribe of
Manashsheh built there an altar by the
Yardan (Jordan), a great altar to see to.
11 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
heard say, Behold, the children of
Reuben and the children of Gawd and the
half tribe of Manashsheh have built an
altar over against the land of Canaan, in
the borders of Yardan (Jordan), at the
passage of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
12 And when the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) heard of it, the whole
congregation of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) gathered themselves together at
Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
13 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
sent to the children of Reuben, and to the
children of Gawd, and to the half tribe of
 Yahushua (Joshua)
Manashsheh, into the land of Gilead,
Phinehas the son of Eli’ezer the Kohen
(priest),
14 And with him ten princes, of each
chief house a prince throughout all the
tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel); and each one
was a head of the house of their ahvot
(fathers) among the thousands of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
15 And they came to the children of
Reuben, and to the children of Gawd, and
to the half tribe of Manashsheh, to the
land of Gilead, and they spoke with them,
saying,
16 Thus says the whole congregation of
hwhy, What trespass is this that you have
committed against the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), to turn away this day
from following hwhy, in that you have
build an altar, that you might rebel this
day against hwhy?
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us,
from which we are not cleansed until this
day, although there was a plague in the
congregation of hwhy?
18 But that you must turn away this day
from following hwhy? And it will be,
seeing you rebel today against hwhy,
that tomorrow he will be wroth with the
whole congregation of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your
possession be unclean, then you pass
over to the land of the possession of
hwhy, wherein hwhy's tabernacle dwells,
and take possession among us: but rebel
not against hwhy, nor rebel against us, in
building an altar beside the altar of hwhy
our Elohim.
20 Did not Akhan the son of Zerah
commit a trespass in the accursed thing,
and wrath fell on all the congregation of
Yah’sar’el (Israel)? And that man
perished not alone in his iniquity.
21 Then the children of Reuben and the
children of Gawd and the half tribe of
Manashsheh answered, and said to the
heads of the thousands of Yah’sar’el
(Israel),
22 El The Supreme One, hwhy, EL The
Supreme One, hwhy, he knows, and
446
Yah’sar’el (Israel) he shall know; if it be in
rebellion, or if in transgression against
hwhy, save us not this day:
23 That we have built us an altar to turn
from following hwhy, or if to offer thereon
burnt offering or meat offering, or if to
offer peace offerings thereon, let hwhy
himself require it;
24 And if we have not rather done it for
fear of this thing, saying, In time to come
your children might speak to our children,
saying, What have you to do with hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
25 For hwhy has made Yardan (Jordan)
a border between us and you, the
children of Reuben and the children of
Gawd; you have no part in hwhy: so shall
your children make our children cease
from fearing hwhy.
26 Therefore we said, Let us now
prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt
offering, nor for sacrifice:
27 But that it may be a witness between
us, and you, and our generations after us,
that we might do the service of hwhy
before him with our burnt offerings, and
with our sacrifices, and with our peace
offerings; that your children may not say
to our children in time to come, You have
no part in hwhy.
28 Therefore we said, that it shall be,
when they should so say to us or to our
generations in time to come, that we may
say again, Behold the pattern of the altar
of hwhy, which our ahvot (fathers) made,
not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices;
but it is a witness between us and you.
29 Elohim forbid that we should rebel
against hwhy, and turn this day from
following hwhy, to build an altar for burnt
offerings, for meat offerings, or for
sacrifices, beside the altar of hwhy our
Elohim that is before his tabernacle.
30 And when Phinehas the kohen
(priest), and the princes of the
congregation and heads of the thousands
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) which were with him,
heard the words that the children of
Reuben and the children of Gawd and the
children of Manashsheh spoke, it pleased
 Yahushua (Joshua)
them.
31 And Phinehas the son of Eli’ezer the
kohen (priest) said to the children of
Reuben, and to the children of Gawd, and
to the children of Manashsheh, This day
we perceive that hwhy is among us,
because you have not committed this
trespass against hwhy: now you have
delivered the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) out of the hand of hwhy.
32 And Phinehas the son of Eli’ezer the
kohen (priest), and the princes, returned
from the children of Reuben, and from the
children of Gawd, out of the land of
Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
brought them word again.
33 And the thing pleased the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) blessed Elohim, and
did not intend to go up against them in
battle, to destroy the land wherein the
children of Reuben and Gawd dwelt.
34 And the children of Reuben and the
children of Gawd called the altar ad:1 for
it shall be a witness between us that
hwhy is Supreme One.
Chapter 23
1 And it came to pass a long time after
that hwhy had given rest to Yah’sar’el
(Israel) from all their enemies

waxed old and stricken in age.
2 And Yahushua (Joshua) called for all
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and for their elders,
and for their heads, and for their judges,

4 Behold, I have divided to you by lot
these nations that remain, to be an
inheritance for your tribes, from Yardan
(Jordan), with all the nations that I have
cut off, even to the great sea westward.
5 And hwhy your Elohim, he shall expel
them from before you, and drive them
from out of your sight; and you shall
possess their land, as hwhy your Elohim
has promised to you.
6 Be you therefore very courageous to
keep and to do all that is written in the
scroll of the Torah of Musa (Moses), that
you turn not aside there from to the right
hand or to the left;2
7 That you come not among these
nations, these that remain among you;
neither make mention of the name of their
mighty ones, nor cause to swear by them,
neither serve them, nor bow yourselves
to them:3
8 But cleave to hwhy your Elohim, as
you have done to this day.
9 For hwhy has driven out from before
you great nations and strong: but as for
you, no man has been able to stand
before you to this day.
10 One man of you shall chase a
thousand: for hwhy your Elohim, he it is
that fights for you, as he has promised
you.
11 Take good heed therefore to
yourselves, that you love4 hwhy your
Elohim.
2 To the right, not to act on one’s own strength,
the gevurah side or the right-ruling strength side
of YHWH, we are to act in His strength only. The
left is the mercy side of YHWH, not to act in our
own defined man made mercy but in the mercy of
the Supreme One, which is YHWH our Elohim.

the idol “god”, the false one of Babylon.

Chapter 1
1 Now after the death of Yahushua
(Joshua) it came to pass, that the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) asked
hwhy, saying, Who shall go up for us
against the Canaanites first, to fight
against them?
2 And hwhy said, Yahudah (Judah)
shall go up: behold, I have delivered the
land into his hand.
3 And Yahudah (Judah) said to
Shimeon his brother, Come up with me
into my lot, that we may fight against the
Canaanites; and I likewise will go with
you into your lot. So Shimeon went with
him.
4 And Yahudah (Judah) went up; and
hwhy delivered the Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their hand: and they slew
of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek:
and they fought against him, and they
slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they
pursued after him, and caught him, and
1
cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 And Adoni-bezek said, seventy kings,
having their thumbs and their great toes
cut off, gathered their meat under my
table: as I have done, so Elohim has
repaid me. And they brought him to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and there he
died.
8 Now the children of Yahudah (Judah)
had fought against Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and had taken it, and

smitten it with the edge of the sword, and
set the city on fire.
9 And afterward the children of
Yahudah (Judah) went down to fight
against the Canaanites that dwelt in the
mountain, and in the south, and in the
valley.
10 And Yahudah (Judah) went against
the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: now
the name of Hebron before was Kiryath-
arba: and they slew Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 And from there he went against the
inhabitants of Debir: and the name of
Debir before was Kiryath-sepher:
12 And Caleb said, He that smites
Kiryath-sepher, and takes it, to him will I
give Aksah my daughter to wife.
13 And Othni’el the son of Kenaz,
Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he
gave him Aksah his daughter to wife.
14 And it came to pass, when she came
to him, that she moved him to ask of her
father a field: and she lighted from off her
ass; and Caleb said to her, What is the
matter?
15 And she said to him, Give me a
blessing: for you have given me a south
land; give me also springs of mayim
(water). And Caleb gave her the upper
springs and the nether springs.
16 And the children of the Kenite, Musa
(Moses)' father in law, went up out of the
city of palm etzim (trees) with the children
of Yahudah (Judah) into the wilderness of
Yahudah (Judea), which lies in the south
of Arad; and they went and dwelt among
the people.
17 And Yahudah (Judah) went with
Shimeon his brother, and they slew the
Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and
utterly destroyed it. And the name of the
city was called Hormah.
18 Also Yahudah (Judah) took Azzah2
(Gaza) with the coast thereof and
2 Gaza really belongs to Judah and not to the
Palestinian people according to YHWH.

19 And hwhy was with Yahudah
(Judah); and he drove out the inhabitants
of the mountain; but could not drive out
the inhabitants of the valley, because
they had chariots of iron.
20 And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as
Musa (Moses) said: and he expelled
there the three sons of Anak.1
21 And the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) did not drive out the
Yebusites that inhabited Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem); but the Yebusites dwell with
the children of Benyamin (Benjamin) in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to this day.
22 And the house of Yosef, they also
went up against Beyth’el: and hwhy was
with them.
23 And the house of Yosef sent to spy
out Beyth’el. (Now the name of the city
before was Luz.)
24 And the spies saw a man come forth
out of the city, and they said to him,
please show us, the entrance into the
city, and we will show you mercy.
25 And when he showed them the
entrance into the city, they smote the city
with the edge of the sword; but they let go
the man and all his family.
26 And the man went into the land of
the Hittites, and built a city, and called the
name thereof Luz: which is the name
thereof to this day.
27 Neither did Manashsheh drive out
the inhabitants of Beyth-shean and her
towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor
the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor
the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns,
nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her
towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in
that land.
28 And it came to pass, when Yah’sar’el
(Israel) was strong, that they put the
Canaanites to compulsory labour, and did

not utterly drive them out.
29 Neither did Ephraim drive out the
Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the
Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30 Neither did Zebulun drive out the
inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants
of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt
among them, and became compulsory
labourers.
31 Neither did Asher drive out the
inhabitants of Akko, nor the inhabitants of
Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Akhzib, nor of
Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rechob:
32 But the Asherites dwelt among the
Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land:
for they did not drive them out.
33 Neither did Naphtali drive out the
inhabitants of Beyth-shemesh, nor the
inhabitants of Beyth-anath; but he dwelt
among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of
the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of
Beyth-shemesh and of Beyth-anath
became compulsory labourers to them.
34 And the Amorites forced the children
of Dan into the mountain: for they would
not permit them to come down to the
valley:
35 But the Amorites would dwell in
Mount Heres in Aiyalon, and in Shaalbim:
yet the hand of the house of Yosef
prevailed, so that they became
compulsory labourers.
36 And the coast of the Amorites was
from the going up to Akrabbim, from the
rock, and upward.

started serving false elohim just like today.
4 The deity of Ishtar or Easter that many
Christians also run after today in the shape of
rabbits and eggs.
5 The same today when because they do not serve
YHWH, He has given them into the hands of the
Islamists, who have become thorns in their sides.
The only way to escape this curse is to repent and
return to YHWH and His Torah.
6 These people were now under the curse of
YHWH just as many in Christendom are without
even blissfully knowing about it.
7 In mercy that they might turn to His Torah.
8 The Way, the Truth and the Life, the Torah of
YHWH as specified in John 14:6. So now they had
 Judges (Shoftim)
walked in, obeying the commandments of
hwhy; but they did not.
18 And when hwhy raised them up
judges, then hwhy was with the judges,
and delivered them out of the hand of
their enemies all the days of the judges:
for hwhy had compassion on their
groanings by reason of them that
oppressed them and vexed them.
19 And it came to pass, when the judge
was dead, that they returned, and
corrupted themselves more than their
ahvot (fathers), in following other mighty
ones to serve them, and to bow down to
them; they ceased not from their own
doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 And the anger of hwhy was hot
against Yah’sar’el (Israel); and he said,
Because this people has transgressed
my covenant which I commanded their
ahvot (fathers), and have not hearkened
to my voice;
21 I also will not henceforth drive out
any from before them of the nations
which Yahushua (Joshua) left when he
died:
22 That through them I may prove
Yah’sar’el (Israel), whether they will keep
the way of hwhy to walk therein, as their
ahvot (fathers) did keep it, or not.
23 Therefore hwhy left those nations,
without driving them out hastily; neither
delivered he them into the hand of
Yahushua (Joshua).1
Chapter 3
1 Now these are the nations which
hwhy left, to prove Yah’sar’el (Israel) by
them, even as many of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 Only that the generations of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) might know,
to teach them war, at the least such as
no Torah, no Way and no life, they had lost all
direction and purpose for their life.
1 All the nations roundabout are there to prove us
if we are faithful to His Torah or not.
before knew nothing thereof;
3 Namely, five princes of the Plushtim2
(Philistines), and all the Canaanites, and
the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt
in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-
hermon to the entering in of Hamath.
4 And they were to prove Yah’sar’el
(Israel) by them, to know whether they
would hearken to the commandments of
hwhy, which he commanded their ahvot
(fathers) by the hand of Musa (Moses).
5 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and
Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and
Yebusites:
6 And they took their daughters to be
their wives, and gave their daughters to
their sons, and served their mighty ones.
7 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
did evil in the sight of hwhy, and forgot
hwhy their Elohim, and served Baalim
and the Asherah poles.
8 Therefore the anger of hwhy was hot
against Yah’sar’el (Israel), and he sold
them into the hand of Chushan-
rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) served
Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
9 And when the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) cried to hwhy, then hwhy raised
up a deliverer to the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), who delivered them, even
Othni’el the son of Kenaz, Caleb's
younger brother.
10 And the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy came
upon him, and he judged Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and went out to war: and hwhy
delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of
Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand
prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
11 And the land had rest forty years.
And Othni’el the son of Kenaz died.
12 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
did evil again in the sight of hwhy: and
hwhy strengthened Eglon the king of
Moab against Yah’sar’el (Israel), because
2 Plushti means invader.
454
 Judges (Shoftim)
they had done evil in the sight of hwhy.
13 And he gathered to him the children
of Ammon and Amalek, and went and
smote Yah’sar’el (Israel), and possessed
the city of palm etzim (trees).
14 So the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen
years.
15 But when the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) cried to hwhy, then hwhy raised
them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of
Gera, a Benjamite, and a man left-
handed: and by him the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) sent a present to Eglon
the king of Moab.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which
had two edges, of a cubit length; and he
did gird it under his raiment upon his right
thigh.
17 And he brought the present to Eglon
king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat
man.
18 And when he had made an end to
offer the present, he sent away the
people that bare the present.
19 But he himself turned again from the
quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I
have a secret errand to you, O king: who
said, Keep silence. And all that stood by
him went out from him.
20 And Ehud came to him; and he was
sitting in a summer upper-room, which he
had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I
have a message from Elohim to you. And
he arose out of his seat.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and
took the dagger from his right thigh, and
thrust it into his belly:
22 And the handle also went in after the
blade; and the fat closed upon the blade,
so that he could not draw the dagger out
of his belly; and it came out behind.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the
porch, and shut the doors of the upper-
room upon him, and locked them.
24 When he was gone out, his servants
came; and when they saw that, behold,
the doors of the upper-room were locked,
they said, Surely he covers his feet in his
summer chamber.
455
25 And they waited till they were
ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the
doors of the upper-room; therefore they
took a key, and opened them: and,
behold, their master was fallen down
dead on the earth.
26 And Ehud escaped while they
waited, and passed beyond the quarries,
and escaped to Seirath.
27 And it came to pass, when he had
come, that he blew a shofar in the
mountain of Ephraim, and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) went down with him
from the Mount, and he before them.
28 And he said to them, Follow after
me: for hwhy has delivered your enemies
the Moabites into your hand. And they
went down after him, and took the fords
of Yardan (Jordan) toward Moab, and
permitted no man to pass over.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time
about ten thousand men, all robust, and
all men of valour; and there escaped not
a man.
30 So Moab was subdued that day
under the hand of Yah’sar’el (Israel). And
the land had rest eighty years.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son
of Anath, which slew of the Plushtim
(Philistines) six hundred men with an ox
goad: and he also delivered Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
Chapter 4
1 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
again did evil in the sight of hwhy, when
Ehud was dead.
2 And hwhy sold them into the hand of
Yabin king of Canaan that reigned in
Khatzor (Hazor); the commander of
whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in
Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
cried to hwhy: for he had nine hundred
chariots of iron; and twenty years he
mightily oppressed the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
4 And Debar’yah (Deborah), a
prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she
judged Yah’sar’el (Israel) at that time.
 Judges (Shoftim)
5 And she dwelt under the palm etz
1
(tree) of Debar’yah (Deborah) between
Ramah and Beyth’el in Mount Ephraim:
and the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
came up to her for right-ruling.
6 And she sent and called Barak the
son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali,
and said to him, Has not hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) commanded, saying,
Go and draw toward Mount Tabor, and
take with you ten thousand men of the
children of Naphtali and of the children of
Zebulun?
7 And I will draw to you to the river
Kishon Sisera, the commander of Yabin's
army, with his chariots and his multitude;
and I will deliver him into your hand.
8 And Barak said to her, if you will go
with me, then I will go: but if you will not
go with me, then I will not go.
9 And she said, I will surely go with you:
notwithstanding the journey that you take
shall not be for your honour; for hwhy
shall sell Sisera into the hand of a
woman. And Debar’yah (Deborah) arose,
and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 And Barak called Zebulun and
Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with
1 The Hebrew word for “bee” - ‫ דבורה‬d’vorah, or
we would say “deborah.” The root of this word is
‫ דבר‬d’var, the literal meaning of which is “word.”
The name Deborah, is primarily related to the
word "bees”, and finds its root meaning in one
who chases away her enemies.
Pictographically, Deborah is as follows:
Dalet - tent flap, tent door (for coming and going;
movement in and out, to and fro)
Beth - tent, or house (dwelling place)
Vav (optional in name) - peg, nail (to secure,
connect), fastener
Resh - head, beginning, first
Hey - look, reveal, behold
"Behold the woman who serves as the head of her
home [apparently in the absence of her husband],
providing both security and freedom of movement
within and without."
Alternative meaning can be: "Behold the woman
leader who guards her home like bees do a
beehive, chasing all predators away."
456
ten thousand men at his feet: and
Debar’yah (Deborah) went up with him.
11 Now Cheber the Kenite, which was
of the children of Hobab the father in law
of Musa (Moses), had severed himself
from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to
the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 And they showed Sisera that Barak
the son of Abinoam was gone up to
Mount Tabor.
13 And Sisera gathered together all his
chariots, even nine hundred chariots of
iron, and all the people that were with
him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to
the river of Kishon.
14 And Debar’yah (Deborah) said to
Barak, Rise up; for this is the day in
which hwhy has delivered Sisera into
your hand: is not hwhy gone out before
you? So Barak went down from Mount
Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 And hwhy destroyed Sisera, and all
his chariots, and all his host, with the
edge of the sword before Barak; so that
Sisera came down off his chariot, and
fled away on his feet.
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots,
and after the camp, to Harosheth of the
Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell
upon the edge of the sword; and there
was not a man left.
17 Meanwhile Sisera fled away on his
feet to the tent of Ya’el the wife of Cheber
the Kenite: for there was peace between
Yabin the king of Khatzor (Hazor) and the
house of Cheber the Kenite.
18 And Ya’el went out to meet Sisera,
and said to him, Turn in, my master, turn
in to me; fear not. And when he had
turned in to her into the tent, she covered
him with a mantle.
19 And he said to her, Give me, I pray
you, a little mayim (water) to drink; for I
am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of
milk, and gave him drink, and covered
him.
20 Again he said to her, Stand in the
door of the tent, and it shall be, when any
man come and enquire of you, and say,
is there any man here? That you shall
 Judges (Shoftim)
say, No.
21 Then Ya’el Cheber's wife took a nail
of the tent, and took a hammer in her
hand, and went softly to him, and smote
the nail into his temples, and fastened it
into the ground: for he was fast asleep
and weary. So he died.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued
Sisera, Ya’el came out to meet him, and
said to him, Come, and I will show you
the man whom you seek. And when he
came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay
dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 So Elohim subdued on that day
Yabin the king of Canaan before the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
24 And the hand of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) prospered, and
prevailed against Yabin the king of
Canaan, until they had destroyed Yabin
king of Canaan.
Chapter 5
1 Then sang Debar’yah (Deborah) and
Barak the son of Abinoam on that day,
saying,
2 Praise you hwhy for the avenging of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), when the people
willingly offered themselves.
3 Hear, O you kings; give ear, O you
princes; I, even I, will sing to hwhy; I will
sing praise to hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
4 hwhy, when you went out of Seir,
when you marched out of the field of
Edom, the earth trembled, and the
heavens dropped, the clouds also
dropped mayim (water).
5 The mountains melted from before

Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of
Anath, in the days of Ya’el, the highways
were unoccupied, and the travellers
walked through byways.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased,
they ceased in Yah’sar’el (Israel), until
that I Debar’yah (Deborah) arose, that I
arose a mother in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
8 They chose new elohim (powers);
457
then there was war in the gates: there
was neither a shield nor spear seen
among forty thousand in Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
9 My heart was toward the governors of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that offered
themselves willingly among the people.
Bless you hwhy.
10 Speak, you that ride on white
donkeys, you that sit in right-ruling, and
walk by the way.
11 They that are delivered from the
noise of archers in the places of drawing
mayim (water), there shall they rehearsal
the righteous acts of hwhy, even the
righteous acts toward the inhabitants of
his villages in Yah’sar’el (Israel): then
shall the people of hwhy go down to the
gates.
12 Awake, awake, Debar’yah
(Deborah): awake, awake, utter a song:
arise, Barak, and lead your captivity
captive, you son of Abinoam.
13 Then he made him that remains
have dominion over the nobles among
the people: hwhy made me have
dominion over the mighty.
14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of
them against Amalek; after you,
Benyamin (Benjamin), among your
people; out of Machir came down
governors and out of Zebulun they that
handle the pen of the writer.
15 And the princes of Yah’sachar
(Issachar) were with Debar’yah
(Deborah); even Yah’sachar (Issachar),
and also Barak: he was sent on foot into
the valley. For the divisions of Reuben
there were great thoughts of heart.
16 Why do you live among the
sheepfolds, to hear the bleating of the
flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there
was great searching of heart.
17 Gilead abode beyond Yardan
(Jordan): and why did Dan remain in
ships? Asher continued on the sea shore,
and abode in its landing places.
18 Zebulun and Naphtali was a people
that risked their lives to death in the
heights of the field.
 Judges (Shoftim)
19 The kings came and fought, then
fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by
the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain
of money.
20 From shamayim (heavens) they
fought; the stars in their courses fought
against Sisera.
21 The river of Kishon swept them
away, that ancient river, the river Kishon.
O my soul, you have trodden down
strength.
22 The horse hooves pounded the
ground, the stallions galloped madly.
23 Curse Meroz, said the Malakh hwhy,
curse bitterly the inhabitants thereof;
because they came not to the help of
hwhy, to the help of hwhy against the
mighty.
24 Blessed above women shall Ya’el
the wife of Cheber the Kenite be, blessed
shall she be above women in the tent.
25 He asked mayim (water), and she
gave him milk; she brought forth butter in
a princely dish.
26 She put her hand to the nail and her
right hand to the workmen's hammer; and
with the hammer she smote Sisera, she
smote off his head, when she had pierced
and stricken through his temples.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay
down: at her feet he bowed, he fell:
where he bowed, there he fell down
dead.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a
window, and cried through the lattice,
Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why do the wheels of his chariots delay?
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yes,
she returned answer to herself,
30 Have they not sped? Have they not
divided the prey; to every man a damsel
or two; to Sisera a prey of various
colours, a prey of various colours of
needlework, of various colours of
needlework on both sides, meet for the
necks of them that take the spoil?
31 So let all your enemies perish, O
hwhy: but let them that love him be as
the sun when he goes forth in his might.
And the land had rest forty years.
458
Chapter 6
1 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
did evil in the sight of hwhy: and hwhy
delivered them into the hand of Midian
seven years.
2 And the hand of Midian prevailed
against Yah’sar’el (Israel): and because
of the Midianites the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) made them refuges which are in
the mountains, and caves, and
strongholds.
3 And so it was, when Yah’sar’el (Israel)
had sown, that the Midianites came up,
and the Amalekites, and the children of
the east, even they came up against
them;
4 And they encamped against them,
and destroyed the increase of the earth,
till you come to Azzah (Gaza), and left no
sustenance for Yah’sar’el (Israel), neither
sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
5 For they came up with their cattle and
their tents, and they came as
grasshoppers for multitude; for both they
and their camels were without number:
and they entered into the land to destroy
it.
6 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) was greatly
impoverished because of the Midianites;
and the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
cried to hwhy.
7 And it came to pass, when the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) cried to
hwhy because of the Midianites,
8 That hwhy sent a prophet to the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), which said
to them, Thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); I brought you up from
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and brought you forth
out of the house of bondage;
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of
the Mitzrim (Egyptians), and out of the
hand of all that oppressed you, and drove
them out from before you, and gave you
their land;
10 And I said to you, I am hwhy your

second bullock was offered upon the altar
that was built.
29 And they said one to another, Who
has done this thing? And when they
enquired and asked, they said, Gideon
the son of Yoash has done this thing.
30 Then the men of the city said to
Yoash, Bring out your son, that he may
die: because he has cast down the altar
of Baal, and because he has cut down
the Asherah pole that was by it.
31 And Yoash said to all that stood
against him, Will you plead for Baal? Will
you save him? He that will plead for him
let him be put to death whilst it is yet
morning: if he be an elohim, let him plead
for himself, because one has cast down
his altar.
32 Therefore on that day he called him
Yerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against
him, because he has thrown down his
altar.
33 Then all the Midianites and the
Amalekites and the children of the east
were gathered together, and went over,
and pitched in the valley of Yizre’el
(Jezreel).
34 But the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy came
upon Gideon, and he blew a shofar; and
Abi’ezer was gathered after him.
35 And he sent messengers throughout
all Manashsheh; who also was gathered
after him: and he sent messengers to
Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali;
and they came up to meet them.
36 And Gideon said to Elohim, If you will
save Yah’sar’el (Israel) by my hand, as
you have said,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in
the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece
only, and it be dry upon all the earth
beside, then shall I know that you will
save Yah’sar’el (Israel) by my hand, as
you have said.
38 And it was so: for he rose up early on
the next morning, and thrust the fleece
together, and wringed the dew out of the
fleece, a bowl full of mayim (water).
39 And Gideon said to Elohim, Let not
460
your anger be hot against me, and I will
speak but this once: let me prove, I pray
you, but this once with the fleece; let it
now be dry only upon the fleece, and
upon all the ground let there be dew.
40 And Elohim did so that night: for it
was dry upon the fleece only and there
was dew on all the ground.
Chapter 7
1 Then Yerubbaal, who is Gideon, and
all the people that were with him, rose up
early, and pitched beside the well of
Harod: so that the host of the Midianites
were on the north side of them, by the hill
of Moreh, in the valley.
2 And hwhy said to Gideon, The people
that are with you are too many for me to
give the Midianites into their hands, lest
Yah’sar’el (Israel) brag themselves
against me, saying, My own hand has
saved me.
3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the
ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is
fearful and afraid, let him return and
depart early from Mount Gilead. And
there returned of the people twenty and
two thousand; and there remained ten
thousand.
4 And hwhy said to Gideon, The people
are yet too many; bring them down to the
mayim (water), and I will try them for you
there: and it shall be, that of whom I say
to you, This shall go with you, the same
shall go with you; and of whomsoever I
say to you, This shall not go with you, the
same shall not go.
5 So he brought down the people to the
mayim (water): and hwhy said to Gideon,
Every one that laps of the mayim (water)
with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall
set him by himself; likewise every person
that bows down upon his knees to drink.
6 And the number of them that lapped,
putting their hand to their mouth, were
three hundred men: but all the rest of the
people bowed down upon their knees to
drink mayim (water).
7 And hwhy said to Gideon, By the
three hundred men that lapped will I save
 Judges (Shoftim)
you, and deliver the Midianites into your
hand: and let all the other people go
every man to his place.
8 So the people took supplies in their
hand, and their shofars: and he sent all
the rest of Yah’sar’el (Israel) every man
to his tent, and retained those three
hundred men: and the camp of Midian
was beneath him in the valley.
9 And it came to pass the same night,
that hwhy said to him, Arise, get down to
the camp; for I have delivered it into your
hand.
10 But if you fear to go down, go down
with Furah your servant down to the host:
11 And you shall hear what they say;
and afterward shall your hands be
strengthened to go down to the camp.
Then he went down with Furah his
servant to the outside of the armed men
that were in the camp.
12 And the Midianites and the
Amalekites and all the children of the east
lay along in the valley like grasshoppers
for multitude; and their camels were
without number, as the sand by the sea
side for multitude.
13 And when Gideon was come,
behold, there was a man that told a
dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I
dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of
barley lechem (bread) tumbled into the
host of Midian, and came to a tent, and
smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that
the tent lay along.
14 And his fellow answered and said
This is nothing else save the sword of
Gideon the son of Yoash, a man of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): for into his hand has
Elohim delivered Midian, and all the host.
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard
the telling of the dream, and the
interpretation thereof, that he worshipped,
and returned into the camp of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and said, Arise; for hwhy has
delivered into your hand the camp of
Midian.
16 And he divided the three hundred
men into three companies, and he put a
shofar in every man's hand, with empty
461
jars, and lamps within the jars.
17 And he said to them, Look on me,
and do likewise: and, behold, when I
come to the outside of the camp, it shall
be that, as I do, so shall you do.
18 When I blow with a shofar, I and all
that are with me, then you blow the
shofarim also on every side of all the
camp, and say, The sword of hwhy, and
of Gideon.
19 So Gideon, and the hundred men
that were with him, came to the outside of
the camp in the beginning of the middle
watch; and they had but newly set the
watch: and they blew the shofarim, and
broke the jars that were in their hands.
20 And the three companies blew the
shears, and broke the jars, and held the
lamps in their left hands, and the shears
in their right hands to blow with: and they
cried, The sword of hwhy, and of Gideon.
21 And they stood each man in his
place roundabout the camp: and all the
camp ran, and cried, and fled.
22 And the three hundred blew the
shears, and hwhy set every man's sword
against his fellow, even throughout all the
host: and the host fled to Beyth-shittah in
Zererath, and to the border of Abel-
meholah, to Tabbath.
23 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
gathered themselves together out of
Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all
Manashsheh, and pursued after the
Midianites.
24 And Gideon sent messengers
throughout all Mount Ephraim, saying,
Come down against the Midianites, and
take before them the mayim (waters) to
Beyth-barah and Yardan (Jordan). Then
all the men of Ephraim gathered
themselves together, and took the mayim
(waters) to Beyth-barah and Yardan
(Jordan).
25 And they took two princes of the
Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew
Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they
slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and
pursued Midian, and brought the heads of
Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other
 Judges (Shoftim)
side Yardan (Jordan).
Chapter 8
1 And the men of Ephraim said to him,
Why have you served us thus, that you
called us not, when you went to fight with
the Midianites? And they did contended
with him sharply.
2 And he said to them, What have I
done now in comparison of you? Is not
the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim
better than the vintage of Abi’ezer?
3 Elohim has delivered into your hands
the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb:
and what was I able to do in comparison
of you? Then their anger was abated
toward him, when he had said that.
4 And Gideon came to Yardan (Jordan),
and passed over, he, and the three
hundred men that were with him, weary,
yet pursuing them.
5 And he said to the men of Succoth,
Please give, loaves of lechem (bread) to
the people that follow me; for they are
weary, and I am pursuing after Zebah
and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
6 And the princes of Succoth said, Are
the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in
your hand, that we should give lechem
(bread) to your army?
7 And Gideon said, therefore when
hwhy has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna
into my hand, then I will tear your flesh
with the thorns of the wilderness and with
briers.
8 And he went up there to Penu’el, and
spoke to them likewise: and the men of
Penu’el answered him as the men of
Succoth had answered him.
9 And he spoke also to the men of
Penu’el, saying, When I come again in
shalom (peace), I will break down this
tower.
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in
Karkor, and their hosts with them, about
fifteen thousand men, all that were left of
all the camp of the children of the east:
for there fell a hundred twenty thousand
men that drew sword.
11 And Gideon went up by the way of
462
them that dwelt in tents on the east of
Nobah and Yogbehah, and smote the
host: for the host was secure.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna1
fled, he pursued after them, and took the
two kings of Midian, Zebah and
Zalmunna, and destroyed all the camp.
13 And Gideon the son of Yoash
returned from battle before the sun was
up,
14 And caught a young man of the men
of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he
described to him the princes of Succoth,
and the elders thereof, even seventy-
seven men.
15 And he came to the men of Succoth,
and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna,
with whom you taunted me, saying, Are
the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in
your hand, that we should give lechem
(bread) to your men that are weary?
16 And he took the elders of the city,
and thorns of the wilderness and briers,
and with them he threshed the men of
Succoth.
17 And he tore down the tower of
Penu’el, and slew the men of the city.
18 Then he said to Zebah and
Zalmunna, What manner of men were
they whom you slew at Tabor? And they
answered, As you are, so were they;
each one resembled the children of a
king.
19 And he said, They were my brethren,
even the sons of my mother: as hwhy
lives, if you had saved them alive, I would
not slay you.
20 And he said to Yether his firstborn,
Rise up, and slay them. But the youth
drew not his sword: for he feared,
because he was yet a youth.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said,
1 The name meaning of Zebah is a sacrifice and
Zalmunah is that a shade has been denied. Both
concepts represent a sacrifice of the enemies of
YHWH and the ‘shade’ that has been denied is the
everlasting rest in the Messiah of Israel, the
everlasting redeemer Yahushua.
 Judges (Shoftim)
Rise up, and fall upon us: for as the man
is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose,
and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took
away the crescent symbols that were on
their camels' necks.1
1 Islam, Peace or Beast by Rabbi Simon Altaf
www.abrahamic-faith.com page 74 Zebah and
Zalmunnah were pursued by Gideon and also
killed.
All of these people were Midianites [Arabs];
likewise the End-Times confederacy is largely
comprised of the Arabs at the head of the invasion
followed by the other Muslim nations at the rear.
In the same way, instead of Messiah taking
away the crosses as predicted by the Islamic
prophecy, we have the opposite to be true - all the
crescents on the highest places (minarets of
mosques) will be taken away. Just like the times of
old when Israel had to remove Asherah (the
female goddess) from the high places since the
Jewish people often fell into false worship of false
gods and goddesses and were rebuked by the
Elohim of Israel. Here the word used for the
crescent in Judges 8:21 is "Saharon", which
means crescent moon, this is from the root Sahar
used for the name of Satan in Isaiah 14:12
regarding the name of Satan (Hilal ben Shachar –
Son of the morning). So we can see that the
worship of the crescent moon Elohim stems from
the distant past. In fact it was Nabonidus who
exported Allah from Babylon (Iraq) to Saudi Arabia
th
in the 6 century. When Satan is cast down to the
lower heavens this is what Isaiah 14 described,
Satan possessing a body namely the Anti-
Messiah.
Interestingly the Qur’an speaks of the dawn,
when the angelic host came down from heaven
described in the Qur’an;
Sura 97:1-5 Al-Qadr (The night vision) “We have
sent it to thee in the Night of Vision, what do you
know of this night of Vision. The Night of Vision is
better then a thousand months. The angelic hosts
descend [to earth] in it with the Spirit by command
of their lord. Peace shall it be until the rising of the
Dawn (Morning star).”
Isaiah 14:12a How you are fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer, son of the morning!
This event apparently occurred on the 27th day
of the month of Ramadan when Muhammad had
his encounter with the angel who revealed the
22 Then the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
said to Gideon, Rule over us, both you,
and your son, and your son's son also: for
you have delivered us from the hand of
Midian.
23 And Gideon said to them, I will not
rule over you, neither shall my son rule
over you: hwhy shall rule over you.
24 And Gideon said to them, I would
desire a request of you, that each of you
give the earrings of his spoil. For they
had golden earrings, because they were
Ishmaelites.
25 And they answered, We will willingly
give them. And they spread a garment,
and cast therein every man the earrings
of his spoil.
26 And the weight of the golden
earrings that he requested was a
thousand seven hundred shekels of gold;
beside ornaments, and collars, and
purple raiment that was on the kings of
Midian, and beside the chains that were
about their camels' necks.
27 And Gideon made a shoulder
garment there, and put it in his city, even
in Ophrah: and all Yah’sar’el (Israel) went
there whoring after it: which became a
snare to Gideon, and to his house.
28 Thus was Midian subdued before the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), so that they
lifted up their heads no more. And the
country was in quietness forty years in
Qur’an. This is the same month during which
Muslims fast from dawn to dusk basing the fasting
season on the appearance of the moon. When we
were young we were taught that we should stay up
praying and we would get anything we asked for
on this night from Allah. This is why they call it the
night of power (Laila tul qadar), needless to say as
a kid I tried this many a time and nothing ever
happened.
The words parallel Scripture regarding Satan
(Dawn) being cast out of heaven, and the fallen
angels.
It is essential to point out that the Hebrew word
"Lucifer" in Isaiah 14:12 is “ben Shachar”:

 Judges (Shoftim)
the days of Gideon.
29 And Yerubbaal the son of Yoash
went and dwelt in his own house.
30 And Gideon had seventy sons who
were his own offspring: for he had many
wives.1
31 And his concubine that was in
Shechem, she also bare him a son,
whose name he called Abimelech.
32 And Gideon the son of Yoash died in
a good old age, and was buried in the
sepulchre of Yoash his father, in Ophrah
of the Abiezrites.
33 And it came to pass, as soon as
Gideon was dead, that the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) turned again, and went
whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-
berith their mighty ones.
34 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
remembered not hwhy their Elohim, who
had delivered them out of the hands of all
their enemies on every side:2
35 Neither showed they kindness to the
house of Yerubbaal, namely, Gideon,
according to all the goodness which he
had showed to Yah’sar’el (Israel).
Chapter 9
1 And Abimelech the son of Yerubbaal
went to Shechem to his mother's
brethren, and communed with them, and
with all the family of the house of his
mother's father, saying,
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the
men of Shechem, whether is better for
you, either that all the sons of Yerubbaal,
which are seventy persons, reign over
you, or that one reign over you?
1 Israel practiced patriarchal marriage and this is
why Gideon had many sons to carry his lineage.
This shows us Gideon did not fail in his national
calling as many are doing today failing to be
fruitful and multiply.
2 Israel’s memory span seems to be very short,
they forget their Holy One YHWH as soon as they
are delivered, and this is one of the key problems
that Israel has even today.
464
Remember also that I am your bone and
your flesh.
3 And his mother's brethren spoke of
him in the ears of all the men of Shechem
all these words: and their hearts inclined
to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is
our brother.
4 And they gave him seventy pieces of
silver out of the house of Baal-berith,
wherewith Abimelech hired worthless and
reckless persons, who followed him.
5 And he went to his father's house at
Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons
of Yerubbaal, being seventy persons,
upon one stone: notwithstanding yet
Yahutham the youngest son of Yerubbaal
was left; for he hid himself.
6 And all the men of Shechem gathered
together, and all the house of Millo, and
went, and made Abimelech king, by the
plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.
7 And when they told it to Yahutham, he
went and stood in the top of Mount
Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and
cried, and said to them, Hearken to me,
you men of Shechem, that Elohim may
hearken to you.
8 The etzim (trees)3 went forth on a time
to anoint a king over them; and they said
to the olive etz (tree), You reign over us.
9 But the olive etz (tree) said to them,
Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by
me they honour Elohim and man, and go
to be promoted over the etzim (trees)?
10 And the etzim (trees) said to the fig
etz (tree), Come, and reign over us.
11 But the fig etz (tree) said to them,
Should I forsake my sweetness, and my
good fruit, and go to be promoted over
the etzim (trees)?4
12 Then said the etzim (trees) to the
vine, Come, and reign over us.
13 And the vine said to them, Should I

 Judges (Shoftim)
leave my wine, which cheers Elohim and
man, and go to be promoted over the
etzim (trees)?
14 Then said all the etzim (trees) to the
bramble, Come, and reign over us.
15 And the bramble said to the etzim
(trees), If in truth you anoint me king over
you, then come and put your trust in my
shadow: and if not, let fire come out of
the bramble, and devour the cedars of
Lebanon.
16 Now therefore, if you have done truly
and sincerely, in that you have made
Abimelech king, and if you have dealt
well with Yerubbaal and his house, and
have done to him according to what he
deserved;
17 For my father fought for you, and
risked his life, and delivered you out of
the hand of Midian:
18 And you are risen up against my
father's house this day, and have slain his
sons, seventy persons, upon one stone,
and have made Abimelech, the son of his
maidservant, king over the men of
Shechem, because he is your brother;
19 If then you have dealt truly and
sincerely with Yerubbaal and with his
house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech,
and let him also rejoice in you:
20 But if not, let fire come out from
Abimelech, and devour the men of
Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let
fire come out from the men of Shechem,
and from the house of Millo, and devour
Abimelech.1
21 And Yahutham ran away, and fled,
and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for
fear of Abimelech his brother.
22 When Abimelech had reigned three
years over Yah’sar’el (Israel),
23 Then Elohim sent an evil ruach
(spirit) between Abimelech and the men
of Shechem; and the men of Shechem
dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
1 The curse that he put did come to affect them all
and was fulfilled.
465
24 That the cruelty done to the seventy
sons of Yerubbaal might come, and their
blood be laid upon Abimelech their
brother, which slew them; and upon the
men of Shechem, which aided him in the
killing of his brethren.
25 And the men of Shechem set
ambush for him in the top of the
mountains, and they robbed all that came
along that way by them: and Abimelech
was informed about it.
26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with
his brethren, and went over to Shechem:
and the men of Shechem put their
confidence in him.
27 And they went out into the fields, and
gathered their vineyards, and tread the
grapes, and made merry, and went into
the house of their mighty ones, and did
eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, who
is Abimelech, and who is Shechem that
we should serve him? Is not he the son of
Yerubbaal? And Zebul his officer? Serve
the men of Chamor the father of
Shechem: for why should we serve him?
29 And would Elohim if this people were
under my hand! Then I would remove
Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech,
Increase your army, and come out.
30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city
heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed,
his anger was kindled.
31 And he sent messengers to
Abimelech by deceit, saying, Behold,
Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren
come to Shechem; and, behold, they
fortify the city against you.
32 Now therefore leave by night, you
and the people that is with you, and lie in
ambush in the field:
33 And it shall be, that in the morning,
as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise
early, and rush the city: and, behold,
when he and the people that is with him
come out against you, then may you do
to them as you shall find occasion.
34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the
people that were with him, by night, and
they laid wait against Shechem in four
 Judges (Shoftim)
companies.
35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out,
and stood in the entrance of the gate of
the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the
people that were with him, from lying in
ambush.
36 And when Gaal saw the people, he
said to Zebul, Behold, there come people
down from the top of the mountains. And
Zebul said to him, You see the shadow of
the mountains as if they were men.
37 And Gaal spoke again and said, See
there come people down by the middle of
the land, and another company come
along by the plain of Meonenim.
38 Then said Zebul to him, Where is
now your mouth, wherewith you said,
Who is Abimelech, that we should serve
him? Is not this the people that you have
despised? Go out, I pray now, and fight
with them.
39 And Gaal went out before the men of
Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
40 And Abimelech chased him, and he
fled before him, and many were
overthrown and wounded, even to the
entering of the gate.
41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and
Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren
that they should not dwell in Shechem.
42 And it came to pass on the day after,
that the people went out into the field;
and they told Abimelech.
43 And he took the people, and divided
them into three companies, and laid an
ambush in the field, and looked, and,
behold, the people were come forth out of
the city; and he rose up against them,
and smote them.
44 And Abimelech, and the company
that was with him, rushed forward, and
stood in the entering of the gate of the
city: and the two other companies ran
upon all the people that were in the fields,
and slew them.
45 And Abimelech fought against the
city all that day; and he took the city, and
slew the people that was therein, and
beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
46 And when all the men of the tower of
466
Shechem heard that, they entered into a
stronghold of the house of the mighty
ones Berith.1
47 And it was told Abimelech, that all
the men of the tower of Shechem were
gathered together.
48 And Abimelech got him up to Mount
Zalmon, he and all the people that were
with him; and Abimelech took an axe in
his hand, and cut down a branch from the
etzim (trees), and took it, and laid it on his
shoulder, and said to the people that
were with him, What you have seen me
do, make haste, and do as I have done.
49 And all the people likewise cut down
every man his branch, and followed
Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and
set the hold on fire upon them; so that all
the men of the tower of Shechem died
also, about a thousand men and women.
50 Then went Abimelech to Thebez,
and encamped against Thebez, and took
it.
51 But there was a strong tower within
the city, and there fled all the men and
women, and all they of the city, and shut
it to them, and got them up to the top of
the tower.
52 And Abimelech came to the tower,
and fought against it, and went hard to
the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
53 And a certain woman cast a piece of
a millstone upon Abimelech's head, to
break his skull.2
54 Then he called hastily to the young
man his armour bearer, and said to him,
Draw your sword, and slay me, that men
may not say of me, A woman slew him.
And his young man thrust him through,
and he died.
55 And when the men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) saw that Abimelech was dead,
they departed every man to his place.

himself was killed by a stone. What he sowed he

2 And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and
his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust
out Yah’ftah (Jephthah), and said to him,
You shall not inherit in our father's house;

3 Then Yah’ftah (Jephthah) fled from his

and there were gathered worthless men
to Yah’ftah (Jephthah), and went out with

4 And it came to pass in process of
time, that the children of Ammon made

5 And it was so, that when the children
of Ammon made war against Yah’sar’el

Ammon, and be our head over all the
inhabitants of Gilead.
9 And Yah’ftah (Jephthah) said to the
elders of Gilead, If you bring me home
again to fight against the children of
Ammon, and hwhy deliver them before
me, shall I be your head?
10 And the elders of Gilead said to
Yah’ftah (Jephthah), hwhy be witness
between us, if we do not so according to
your words.
11 Then Yah’ftah (Jephthah) went with
the elders of Gilead, and the people
made him head and commander over
468
them: and Yah’ftah (Jephthah) uttered all
his words before hwhy in Mizpeh.
12 And Yah’ftah (Jephthah) sent
messengers to the king of the children of
Ammon, saying, What have you to do
with me, that you are come against me to
fight in my land?
13 And the king of the children of
Ammon answered to the messengers of
Yah’ftah (Jephthah), Because Yah’sar’el
(Israel) took away my land, when they
came up out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), from
Arnon even to Yabbok, and to Yardan
(Jordan): now therefore restore those
lands again peaceably.
14 And Yah’ftah (Jephthah) sent
messengers again to the king of the
children of Ammon:
15 And said to him, Thus says Yah’ftah
(Jephthah), Yah’sar’el (Israel) did not
take the land of Moab, nor the land of the
children of Ammon:
16 But when Yah’sar’el (Israel) came up
from Mitzrayim (Egypt), and walked
through the wilderness to the Sea of
Reeds, and came to Kadesh;
17 Then Yah’sar’el (Israel) sent
messengers to the king of Edom, saying,
Please let me, pass through your land:
but the king of Edom would not hearken
thereto. And in like manner they sent to
the king of Moab: but he would not
consent: and Yah’sar’el (Israel) abode in
Kadesh.
18 Then they went along through the
wilderness, and compassed the land of
Edom, and the land of Moab, and came
by the east side of the land of Moab, and
pitched on the other side of Arnon, but
came not within the border of Moab: for
Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) sent
messengers to Sihon king of the
Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and
Yah’sar’el (Israel) said to him, please, let
us pass, through your land into my place.
20 But Sihon trusted not Yah’sar’el
(Israel) to pass through his coast: but
Sihon gathered all his people together,
and pitched in Yahatz, and fought against
 Judges (Shoftim)
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
21 And hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) delivered Sihon and all his people
into the hand of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
they smote them: so Yah’sar’el (Israel)
possessed all the land of the Amorites,
the inhabitants of that country.
22 And they possessed all the coasts of
the Amorites, from Arnon even to
Yabbok, and from the wilderness even to
Yardan (Jordan).
23 So now hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) has dispossessed the Amorites
from before his people Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and should you then possess it?
24 Will you not possess that which
Kemosh your mighty one gives you to
possess? So whomsoever hwhy our
Elohim shall drive out from before us,
them will we possess.
25 And now are you any better than
Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab?
Did he ever strive against Yah’sar’el
(Israel), or did he ever fight against them?
26 While Yah’sar’el (Israel) dwelt in
Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and
her towns, and in all the cities that be
along by the coasts of Arnon, three
hundred years? Why therefore did you
not recover them within that time?
27 Therefore, I have not sinned against
you, but you did me wrong to war against
me: hwhy be the judge this day between
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and the
children of Ammon.
28 But the king of the children of
Ammon hearkened not to the words of
Yah’ftah (Jephthah) which he sent him.
29 Then the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy
came upon Yah’ftah (Jephthah), and he
passed over Gilead, and Manashsheh,
and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and
from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to
the children of Ammon.
30 And Yah’ftah (Jephthah) vowed a
vow to hwhy, and said, if you shall
without fail deliver the children of Ammon
into my hands,
31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever
comes forth of the doors of my house to
469
meet me, when I return in shalom (peace)
from the children of Ammon, shall surely
be hwhy's, and I will offer it up for a burnt
offering.
32 So Yah’ftah (Jephthah) passed over
to the children of Ammon to fight against
them; and hwhy delivered them into his
hands.
33 And he smote them from Aroer, even
till you come to Minnith, even twenty
cities, and to the plain of the vineyards,
with a very great slaughter. Thus the
children of Ammon were subdued before
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
34 And Yah’ftah (Jephthah) came to
Mizpeh to his house, and, behold, his
daughter came out to meet him with
timbrels and with dances: and she was
his only child; beside her he had neither
son nor daughter.
35 And it came to pass, when he saw
her, that he torn his clothes, and said,
Alas, my daughter! You have brought me
very low, and you are one of them that
trouble me: for I have opened my mouth
to hwhy, and I cannot go back.
36 And she said to him, My father, if you
have opened your mouth to hwhy, do to
me according to that which has
proceeded out of your mouth; forasmuch
as hwhy has taken vengeance for you of
your enemies, even of the children of
Ammon.
37 And she said to her father, Let this
thing be done for me: let me alone two
months, that I may go up and down upon
the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I
and my fellows.1
1 A burnt offering had to be male Leviticus 22.18-
19; it had to be for an evil committed or for right-
ruling and not for a thanksgiving as in this case.
Human sacrifice was STRICTLY forbidden
(Deuteronomy 12.31); no priest in Israel would
have allowed such to take place even if Yiftha had
made the vow. Next, irrespective of the Vow one
must understand YHWH has the obligation to
deliver Israel under the terms of the covenant
 Judges (Shoftim)
38 And he said, Go. And he sent her
away for two months: and she went with
her companions, and bewailed her
virginity upon the mountains.
39 And it came to pass at the end of two
months that she returned to her father,
who did with her according to his vow
which he had vowed: and she knew no
1
man. And it was a custom in Yah’sar’el
(Israel),
40 That the daughters of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) went yearly to praise2 the
daughter of Yah’ftah (Jephthah) the
Gileadite four days in a year.
Chapter 12
1 And the men of Ephraim gathered
themselves together, and went
northward, and said to Yah’ftah
(Jephthah), Why did you go over to fight
against the children of Ammon, and did
not call us to go with you? We will burn
your house upon you with fire.3
2 And Yah’ftah (Jephthah) said to them,
which requires repentance and turning away from
false elohim as per Judges 10:16.
Therefore, Yiftah did not burn his daughter but she
went and spent the rest of her days as a virgin
without marriage. YHWH would not accept human
sacrifice even if one was thinking himself right to
do the sacrifice, Torah must be upheld which it
was even on this occasion. Vows must be carefully
made with the full intention of knowing to carry
them out as Torah provisions. Unfortunately this
sort of thing gives credibility of making Nuns but
this was an unfortunate vow which had to be
fulfilled by allowing his daughter to remain a virgin
but there are no commandments for making
virgins Nuns in scripture.
1 She remained a virgin that is what the text says
pure and simple to understand.
2 The Hebrew word ‘tanaw’ is better translated to
praise and not to lament. This was a brave act of a
woman who went with her father not to be
married and remain a virgin, a heavy price to pay
for a father’s vow.
3 Ephraim thinks too much of himself but realizes
the hard way that not to fight against YHWH.
470
I and my people were in great distress
with the children of Ammon; and when I
called you, you delivered me not out of
their hands.
3 And when I saw that you delivered me
not, I put my life in my hands, and passed
over against the children of Ammon, and
hwhy delivered them into my hand: why
then have you come up to me this day, to
fight against me?
4 Then Yah’ftah (Jephthah) gathered
together all the men of Gilead, and fought
with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead
smote Ephraim, because they said, You
Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim
among the Ephramites, and among the
Manasshites.
5 And the Gileadites took the passages
of Yardan (Jordan) before the
Ephramites: and it was so, that when
those Ephramites which were escaped
said, Let me go over; that the men of
Gilead said to him, Are you an
Ephramites? If he said, No;
6 Then said they to him, Say now
Shibboleth: and he said Shibboleth:4 for
he could not frame to pronounce it right.
Then they took him, and slew him at the
passages of Yardan (Jordan): and there
fell at that time of the Ephramites forty
two thousand.
7 And Yah’ftah (Jephthah) judged
Yah’sar’el (Israel) six years. Then died
Yah’ftah (Jephthah) the Gileadite, and
was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem) judged Yah’sar’el (Israel).
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty
daughters, whom he sent abroad, and
took in thirty daughters from abroad for
his sons. And he judged Yah’sar’el
(Israel) seven years.
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at
Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem).
4 Ephramites had adopted pagan ways hence
pagan dialects had set in and they had a little
difficulty with Hebrew pronunciations.
 Judges (Shoftim)
11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite,
judged Yah’sar’el (Israel); and he judged
Yah’sar’el (Israel) ten years.
12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and
was buried in Aiyalon in the country of
Zebulun.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel,
a Pirathonite, judged Yah’sar’el (Israel).
14 And he had forty sons and thirty
nephews that rode on seventy young
donkeys: and he judged Yah’sar’el
(Israel) eight years.
15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the
Pirathonite died, and was buried in
Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the
Mount of the Amalekites.
Chapter 13
1 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
did evil again in the sight of hwhy; and
hwhy delivered them into the hand of the
Plushtim (Philistines) forty years.
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah,
of the family of the Danites, whose name
was Manoah; and his wife was barren,
and bare not.
3 And the Malakh hwhy1 appeared to
the woman, and said to her, Behold now,
you are barren, and bear not: but you
shall conceive, and bear a son.
4 Now therefore please, guard yourself,
and drink neither wine nor strong drink,
and eat not any unclean thing: 2 comes
5 For, lo, you shall conceive, and bear a
son; and no razor shall come on his
head: for the child shall be a Nazarite to
Elohim from the womb: and he shall
begin to deliver Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of
the hand of the Plushtim (Philistines).
6 Then the woman came and told her
husband, saying, A man of Elohim came
to me, and his countenance was like the
countenance of an angel of Elohim, very
terrible: but I did not ask him where he
1 Yahushua the Messiah
2 No pigs and no whiskies allowed alongside
shrimps, lobsters or any unclean variety.
471
was from, neither did he tell me his name:
7 But he said to me, Behold, you shall
conceive, and bear a son; and now drink
no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any
unclean thing: for the child shall be a
Nazarite to Elohim from the womb to the
day of his death.
8 Then Manoah prayed to hwhy, and
said, O my Master, let the man of Elohim
which you did send come again to us,
and teach us what we shall do to the child
that shall be born.
9 And Elohim hearkened to the voice of
Manoah; and the Malakh Elohim came
again to the woman as she sat in the
field: but Manoah her husband was not
with her.
10 And the woman made haste, and
ran, and showed her husband, and said
to him, Behold, the man3 has appeared to
me, that came to me the other day.
11 And Manoah arose, and went after
his wife, and came to the man, and said
to him, Are you the man that spoke to this
woman? And he said, I am.
12 And Manoah said, Now let your
words come to pass. How shall we order
the child, and how shall we do to him?
13 And the Malakh hwhy said to
Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman
let her beware.
14 She may not eat of any thing that
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 to the Malakh
hwhy, I pray you, let us detain you, until
we shall have made ready a kid for you.
16 And the Malakh hwhy said to
Manoah, Though you detain me, I will not
eat of your lechem (bread): and if you will
offer a burnt offering, you must offer it to
hwhy. For Manoah knew not that he was
the Malakh hwhy.
17 And Manoah said to the Malakh
3 This was the personification of YHWH as a man.
 Judges (Shoftim)
hwhy, What is your name, that when your
announcement comes true we may
honour you?
18 And the Malakh hwhy said to him,
Why do you ask my name, seeing it is
wonderful and incomprehensible?1
19 So Manoah took a kid with a meat
offering, and offered it upon a rock to
hwhy: and the Malakh did an amazing
thing; and Manoah and his wife looked
on.
20 For it came to pass, when the flame
went up toward shamayim (heavens)
from off the altar that the Malakh hwhy
ascended in the flame of the altar. And
Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell
on their faces to the ground.
21 But the Malakh hwhy did no more
appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then
Manoah knew that he was a Malakh
hwhy.2
22 And Manoah said to his wife, We
shall surely die, because we have seen
Elohim.
23 But his wife said to him, If hwhy
were pleased to kill us, he would not have
received a burnt offering and a grain
offering at our hands, neither would he
have showed us all these things, nor
would as at this time have told us such
things as these.
24 And the woman gave birth to a son,
and called his name Shimshon (Samson):
and the child grew, and hwhy blessed
him.
25 And the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy
began to move him at times in the camp
of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
1 The Hebrew word play means both words so
YHWH was communicating both meanings not just
one.
2 YHWH is here in a human form, which was later
revealed in Israel as our Master Messiah Yahushua.
Chapter 14
1 And Shimshon (Samson)3 went down
to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath
of the daughters of the Plushtim
(Philistines).
2 And he came up, and told his father
and his mother, and said I have seen a
woman in Timnath of the daughters of the
Plushtim (Philistines): now therefore get
her for me to be wife.
3 Then his father and his mother said to
him, is there no woman among the
daughters of your brethren, or among all
my people, that you go to take a wife of
the uncircumcised Plushtim (Philistines)?
And Shimshon (Samson) said to his
father, Get her for me; because she is
right in my eyes.
4 But his father and his mother knew not
that it was of hwhy, that he sought an
occasion against the Plushtim
(Philistines): for at that time the Plushtim
(Philistines) had dominion over Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
5 Then went Shimshon (Samson) down,
and his father and his mother, to Timnath,
and came to the vineyards of Timnath:
and, behold, a young lion roared against
him.
6 And the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy came
mightily upon him, and he tore it apart as
he would have torn a young goat, and he
had nothing in his hand: but he told not
his father or his mother what he had
done.
7 And Shimshon (Samson) went down,
and talked with the woman; and in his
opinion, she was just the right one.
8 And after a time he returned to take
her, and he turned aside to see the
carcass of the lion: and, behold, there
was a swarm of bees and honey in the
carcass of the lion.
9 And he took thereof in his hands, and
went on eating, and came to his father
and mother, and he gave them, and they
3 Shimshon means Powerful.
472
 Judges (Shoftim)
did eat: but he told not them that he had
taken the honey out of the carcass of the
lion. 1
10 So his father went down to Timnah
for the marriage: and Shimshon
(Samson) made there a feast; for this
was customary for the young men to do.
11 And it came to pass, when they saw
him,2 that they brought thirty companions
to be with him.
12 And Shimshon (Samson) said to
them, I will now put forth a riddle to you: if
you can certainly declare it me within the
seven days of the feast, and find it out,
then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty
change of garments:
13 But if you cannot declare it me, then
shall you give me thirty sheets and thirty
change of garments. And they said to
him; Put forth your riddle, that we may
hear it.
14 And he said to them, Out of the eater
came forth meat, and out of the strong
came forth sweetness. And they could
not in three days expound the riddle.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh
day that they said to Shimshon
(Samson)'s wife, Entice your husband,
that he may declare to us the riddle, lest
we burn you and your father's house with
fire: have you invited us to take what is
ours? Is it not so?
16 And Shimshon (Samson)'s wife wept
before him, and said, You do hate me,
3
and love me not: you have put forth a
riddle to the children of my people, and
have not told it to me. And he said to her,
Behold, I have not told it my father nor my
mother, and shall I tell it to you?
17 And she wept before him the seven
days, while their feast lasted: and it came

eaten it, because the honey although clean had
touched the dead carcass. See Numbers 6:6.

473
to pass on the seventh day, that he told
her, because she nagged him: and she
told the riddle to the children of her
people.
18 And the men of the city said to him
on the seventh day before the sun went
down, What is sweeter than honey? And
what is stronger than a lion? And he said
to them, If you had not plowed with my
heifer,4 you had not found out my riddle.
19 And the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy came
upon him, and he went down to
Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them,
and took their spoil, and gave change of
garments to them which expounded the
riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he
went up to his father's house.
20 But Shimshon (Samson)'s wife was
given to his companion, whom had been
his best-man. 5
Chapter 15
1 But it came to pass within a while
after, in the time of wheat harvest that
Shimshon (Samson) visited his wife with
a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife
into the chamber. But her father would
not permit him to go in.
2 And her father said, I verily thought
that you had despised her; therefore I
gave her to your best man: is not her
younger sister fairer than she? Please,
take her instead.
3 And Shimshon (Samson) said
concerning them, Now I shall be
blameless before the Plushtim
(Philistines), for the evil I do to them.
4 And Shimshon (Samson) went and

given over to the other men in retaliation. This
also fulfilled YHWH’s Torah that if you break it the
someone else will sleep with her. (Deuteronomy
28:30)
 Judges (Shoftim)
caught three hundred foxes, and took
firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put
a torches in the midst between tail to tail.
5 And when he had set the torches on
fire, he let them go into the standing corn
of the Plushtim (Philistines), and burnt up
both the shocks, and also the standing
corn, with the vineyards and olives.
6 Then the Plushtim (Philistines) said,
Who has done this? And they answered,
Shimshon (Samson), the son in law of the
Timnite, because he had taken his wife,
and given her to his best-man. And the
Plushtim (Philistines) came up, and burnt
her and her father with fire.
7 And Shimshon (Samson) said to
them, Though you have done this, yet will
I be avenged of you, and after that I will
cease fighting.
8 And he smote them calf on thigh1 with
a great slaughter: and he went down and
dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
9 Then the Plushtim (Philistines) went
up, and pitched in Yahudah (Judah), and
spread themselves in Lehi.
10 And the men of Yahudah (Judah)
said, Why are you come up against us?
And they answered, To bind Shimshon
(Samson) are we come up, to do to him
as he has done to us.
11 Then three thousand men of
Yahudah (Judah) went to the top of the
rock Etam, and said to Shimshon
(Samson), do you not know that the
Plushtim (Philistines) are rulers over us?
What is this that you have done to us?
And he said to them, As they did to me,
so have I done to them.
12 And they said to him, We have come
down to bind you that we may deliver you
into the hand of the Plushtim (Philistines).
And Shimshon (Samson) said to them,
Swear to me, that you will not fall upon
me yourselves.
13 And they spoke to him, saying, No;
but we will bind you fast, and deliver you
1 Idiomatic expression for a complete end.
474
into their hand: but we promise not to kill
you. And they bound him with two bran
new ropes, and brought him up from the
rock.
14 And when he came to Lehi, the
Plushtim (Philistines) shouted against
him: and the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy came
mightily upon him, and the ropes that
were upon his arms became as flax that
was burnt with fire, and his bonds loosed
from off his hands.
15 And he found a new jawbone of a
donkey, and put forth his hand, and took
it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
16 And Shimshon (Samson) said, With
the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon
heaps, 2with the jaw of a donkey have I
slain a thousand men.
17 And it came to pass, when he had
made an end of speaking, that he cast
away the jawbone out of his hand, and
called that place Ramath-lehi.3
18 And he was very thirsty, and called
on hwhy, and said, You have given this
great deliverance into the hand of your
servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and
fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
19 And Elohim split open the basin that
was in Lehi, and there came mayim
(water) there; and when he had drunk, his
ruach (spirit) revived, and he called the
name of the place En-hakkore,4 which is
in Lehi to this day.
20 And he judged Yah’sar’el (Israel) in
the days of the Plushtim (Philistines)
twenty years.
Chapter 16
1 Then went Shimshon (Samson) to
Azzah (Gaza), and saw there a harlot,
and went in to her.
2 And it was told the Azzites (Gazites),

saying, Shimshon (Samson) has come
here. And they surrounded the place, and
laid wait for him all night in the gate of the
city, and were quiet all the night, saying,
In the morning, when it is day, we shall
kill him.
3 And Shimshon (Samson) lay till
midnight, and arose at midnight, and took
the doors of the gate of the city, and the
two posts, and went away with them, bar
and all, and put them upon his shoulders,
and carried them up to the top of a hill
that is before Hebron.
4 And it came to pass afterward, that he
loved a woman in the valley of Sorek,
whose name was Delilah.
5 And the princes of the Plushtim
(Philistines) came up to her, and said to
her, trick him, and see wherein his great
strength lies, and by what means we may
subdue him, that we may bind him to
humiliate him: and we will give you from
every one of us eleven hundred pieces of
silver.
6 And Delilah said to Shimshon
(Samson), Tell me, I pray you, wherein
your great strength lies, and with what
you might be bound to subdue you.
7 And Shimshon (Samson) said to her,
If they bind me with seven fresh
bowstrings that were never dried, then
shall I be weak, and be as another man.
8 Then the princes of the Plushtim
(Philistines) brought up to her seven fresh
bowstrings which had not been dried, and
she bound him with them.
9 Now there were men lying in wait,
abiding with her in the chamber. And she
said to him, The Plushtim (Philistines) are
upon you, Shimshon (Samson). And he
broke the bowstrings, as a thread of yarn
is broken when it touches fire. So his
strength was not known.
10 And Delilah said to Shimshon
(Samson), Behold, you have deceived
me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray
you, how you might be bound.
11 And he said to her, If they bind me
fast with new ropes that never were used,
then shall I be weak, and be as another
475
man.
12 Delilah therefore took new ropes,
and bound him therewith, and said to
him, The Plushtim (Philistines) are upon
you, Shimshon (Samson). And there
were hiding in wait abiding in the
chamber. And he broke them from off his
arms like a thread.
13 And Delilah said to Shimshon
(Samson), up to now you have deceived
me, and told me lies: tell me with what
you might be bound. And he said to her,
If you weave the seven braids of my hair
with into the fabric on the loom and
secure it with the pin then I shall be like
any other man.
14 And she fastened it with the pin, and
said to him, The Plushtim (Philistines) be
upon you, Shimshon (Samson). And he
awoke out of his sleep, and he tore away
the pin, and the fabric of the loom.
15 And she said to him, How can you

with me? You have deceived me these
three times, and have not told me
wherein lies your great strength.
16 And it came to pass, when she
nagged him daily with her words, and
urged him, so that he was sick to death;2
17 That he told her all his heart, and
said to her, There has not come a razor
upon my head; for I have been a Nazarite
to Elohim from my mother's womb: if I be
shaven, then my strength will go from me,
and I shall become weak, and be like any
other man.
18 And when Delilah saw that he had
told her all his heart, she sent and called
for the princes of the Plushtim
(Philistines), saying, Come up this once,
for he has showed me all his heart. Then
the princes of the Plushtim (Philistines)
came up to her, and brought money in

their hand.
19 And she made him sleep upon her
knees; and she called for a man, and she
caused him to shave off the seven braids
of his hair; and she made him vulnerable,
and his strength left him.1
20 And she said, The Plushtim
(Philistines) are upon you, Shimshon
(Samson). And he awoke out of his sleep,
and said, I will go out as at other times
before, and shake myself. And he did not
realize that hwhy had departed from
him.2
21 And the Plushtim (Philistines)
captured him, and gouged out his eyes,
and brought him down to Azzah (Gaza),
and bound him with chains of brass; and
he became a grinder in the prison.
22 But the hair of his head began to
grow again after he was shaven.
23 Then the princes of the Plushtim
(Philistines) gathered them together for to
offer a great sacrifice to Dagon3 their
mighty ones, and to rejoice: for they said,
Our mighty ones have delivered
Shimshon (Samson) our enemy into our
hand.4
24 And when the people saw him, they
praised their mighty ones (elohim): for
1 The spirit of YHWH left Samson when he broke
the 3 part Nazarite vow which restricted him to
drink wine, to touch dead carcass and to shave his
head.
2 Sometimes believers in arrogance of a gift can
do things not fitting unto YHWH; even though
YHWH left them they think they can continue to be
arrogant in their ways. Samson had to learn the
hard way and in the end he would glorify YHWH
but at a cost and that was with His life, which
many of us may have to also.

Dagon was a Fish deity; they believed he was
half fish and half man though some think he
maybe a deity of the corn. Therefore, it was not a
battle between the Philistines and Samson but
rather Fish elohim and El-Shaddai YHWH.

elohim who are deaf and dumb; this is because
Satan is usurping authority of YHWH.
they said, Our mighty ones (elohim) have
delivered into our hands our enemy, and
the destroyer of our country, which slew
many of us.
25 And it came to pass, when their
hearts were merry, that they said, Call for
Shimshon (Samson), that he may
entertain us. And they called for
Shimshon (Samson) out of the prison
house; and he entertained them: and they
set him between the pillars.
26 And Shimshon (Samson) said to the
lad that held him by the hand, position me
that I may feel the pillars5 whereupon the
house stands, that I may lean upon them.
27 Now the house was full of men and
women; and all the princes of the
Plushtim (Philistines) were there; and
there were upon the roof about three
thousand men and women, that beheld
while Shimshon (Samson) entertained
them.

hwhy, and said, O Master hwhy,

me, I pray you, only this once, O Elohim,

of the two middle pillars7 upon which the

the other with his left.
30 And Shimshon (Samson) said, Let
me die with the Plushtim (Philistines).
And he bowed himself with all his might;
and the house fell upon the princes, and
upon all the people that were therein. So
the dead which he slew at his death were
more than they which he slew in his life.

of his father came down, and took him,
and brought him up, and buried him

1 And there was a man of Mount
Ephraim, whose name was Mikah
(Micah).
2 And he said to his mother, The eleven
hundred shekels of silver that were taken
from you, about which you cursed, and
spoke of also in my ears, behold, the
silver is with me; I took it. And his mother
said, Blessed be you of hwhy, my son.
3 And when he had restored the eleven
hundred shekels of silver to his mother,
his mother said, I had wholly dedicated
the silver to hwhy from my hand for my
son, to make a carved image and a
molten image: now therefore I will restore
it to you.
4 Yet he restored the money to his
mother; and his mother took two hundred
shekels of silver, and gave them to the
silversmith, who made thereof a carved
image and a molten image: and they
were in the house of Mikah (Micah).1
5 And the man Mikah (Micah) had a
shrine of mighty ones,2 and made an

they were doing because there was no real priest
or prophet of YHWH in that area.
ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated
one of his sons, who became his kohen
(priest).
6 In those days there was no king in
Yah’sar’el (Israel), but every man did that
which was right in his own eyes.3
7 And there was a young man out of
Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem) in Yahudah
(Judea) of the family of Yahudah (Judea),
who was a Lewite, and he sojourned
there.
8 And the man departed out of the city
from Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem) Yahudah
(Judea) to sojourn where he could find a
place: and he came to Mount Ephraim to
the house of Mikah (Micah), as he
journeyed.
9 And Mikah (Micah) said to him, where
do you come from? And he said to him, I
am a Lewite of Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem)-Yahudah (Judea), and I go
to sojourn where I may find a place.
10 And Mikah (Micah) said to him, Dwell
with me, and be to me a father4 and a
kohen (priest), and I will give you ten
shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of
apparel, and your provisions. So the
Lewite went in.
11 And the Lewite was content to dwell
with the man; and the young man was to
him as one of his sons.
12 And Mikah (Micah) consecrated the
Lewite; and the young man became his
kohen (priest), and was in the house of
Mikah (Micah).
13 Then said Mikah (Micah), Now know
I that hwhy will do me good, seeing that I
have a Lewite to me a kohen (priest).
3 A king was meant to write himself a scroll of
Torah and obey it, this is why the text says there
was no king and everyone did what they thought
best for themselves. This shows us the present
world as it is behaving even man and his dog.

Chapter 18
1 In those days there was no king in
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and in those days the
tribe of the Danites sought them an
inheritance to dwell in; for to that day all
their inheritance had not fallen to them
among the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 And the children of Dan sent of their
family five men from their coasts, men of
valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to
spy out the land, and to search it; and
they said to them, Go, search the land:
who when they came to Mount Ephraim,
to the house of Mikah (Micah), they
lodged there.
3 When they were by the house of
Mikah (Micah), they knew the voice of the
young man the Lewite: and they turned in
there, and said to him, Who brought you
here? And what are you doing in this
place? And what do you have here?
4 And he said to them, Thus and thus
Mikah (Micah) dealt with me, and has
hired me, and I am his kohen (priest).
5 And they said to him, Ask counsel, we
pray you, of Elohim, that we may know
whether our way which we go shall be
prosperous.
6 And the kohen (priest) said to them,
Go in shalom (peace): hwhy is with you.
7 Then the five men departed, and
came to Laish, and saw the people that
were therein, how they dwelt careless,
after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet
and secure; and there was no magistrate
in the land, that might put them to shame
in anything; and they were far from the
Zidonians, and had no business with any
man.
8 And they came to their brethren to
Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren
said to them, How did it go?
9 And they said, Arise, that we may go
up against them: for we have seen the
land, and, behold, it is very good: and you
seem you lethargic? Do not hesitate to
go, and to enter to possess the land.
10 When you go, you shall come to a
people secure, and to a large land: for
Elohim has given it into your hands; a
478
place where there is no want of anything
that is in the earth.
11 And there went from there of the
family of the Danites, out of Zorah and
out of Eshtaol, six hundred men
appointed with weapons of war.
12 And they went up, and pitched in
Kiryath-Yearim, in Yahudah (Judea):
therefore, they called that place
Mahaneh-Dan1 to this day: behold, it is
behind Kiryath-Yearim.
13 And they passed there to Mount
Ephraim, and came to the house of Mikah
(Micah).
14 Then answered the five men that
went to spy out the country of Laish, and
said to their brethren, Do you know that
there is in these houses an ephod, and
teraphim, and a graven image, and a
molten image? Now therefore you know
what to do.
15 And they turned aside there, and
came to the house of the young man the
Lewite, even to the house of Mikah
(Micah), and greeted him.
16 And the six hundred men appointed
with their weapons of war, which were of
the children of Dan, stood by the entering
of the gate.
17 And the five men that went to spy out
the land went up, and came in there, and
took the graven image, and the ephod,
and the teraphim, and the molten image:
and the kohen (priest) stood in the
entering of the gate with the six hundred
men that were appointed with weapons of
war.
18 And these went into Mikah (Micah)'s
house, and fetched the carved image, the
ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten
image. Then said the kohen (priest) to
them, What are you doing?
19 And they said to him, Hold your
shalom (peace), lay your hand upon your
mouth, and go with us, and be to us a
father and a kohen (priest): is it better for
1 Camp of Dan
 Judges (Shoftim)
you to be a kohen (priest) to the house of
one man, or that you be a kohen (priest)
to a tribe and a family in Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
20 And the kohen (priest)'s heart was
glad, and he took the ephod, and the
teraphim, and the graven image, and
went in the midst of the people. 1 sword, and burnt the city with fire.
21 So they turned and departed, and
put the little ones and the cattle and the
carriage before them.
22 And when they were a good way
from the house of Mikah (Micah), the men
that were in the houses near to Mikah
(Micah)'s house were gathered together,
and overtook the children of Dan.
23 And they cried to the children of Dan.
And they turned their faces, and said to
Mikah (Micah), What is the matter, that
you have gathered such a company?
24 And he said, You have taken away
my mighty ones which I made, and the
kohen (priest), and you are gone away:
and what have I more? And what is this
that you say to me, What is the matter?
25 And the children of Dan said to him,
Let not your voice be heard among us,
lest angry fellows run upon you, and you
lose your life, with the lives of your
household. 2 1 And it came to pass in those days,
26 And the children of Dan went their
way: and when Mikah (Micah) saw that

of the cross being an offence to people, while the
Christians try to protect the cross and it is a well
known Biblical fact that Messiah was hung on a
tree as per Torah and the cross is a Babylonian
symbol of Tammuz and nothing whatsoever to do
with the Messiah. This same story here is quite
tragic in that the idols are being carried as if some
kind of trophies but the name of YHWH is being
profaned with this kind of idolatrous worship.

they were too strong for him, he turned
and went back to his house.
27 And they took the things which Mikah
(Micah) had made, and the kohen (priest)
which he had, and came to Laish, to a
people that were at quiet and secure: and
they smote them with the edge of the

it was far from Sidon, and they had no
business with any man; and it was in the
valley that lies by Beyth-Rechob. And
they built a city, and dwelt therein.
29 And they called the name of the city
Dan, after the name of Dan their father,
who was born to Yah’sar’el (Israel): but
the name of the city was Laish at the first.
30 And the children of Dan set up the
graven image: and Yahunathan
(Jonathan), the son of Gershom, the son
of Manashsheh, he and his sons were
kohenim (priests) to the tribe of Dan until
the day of the captivity of the land.

Chapter 19
when there was no king in Yah’sar’el
(Israel), that there was a certain Lewite
sojourning on the side of Mount Ephraim,
who took to him a concubine out of
Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem) in Yahudah
(Judea).
2 And his concubine played the whore
against him, and went away from him to
her father's house to Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem) in Yahudah (Judea), and
was there four whole months.
3 And her husband arose, and went
after her, to speak kindly to her, and to
bring her again, having his servant with

him, and a couple of donkeys: and she
brought him into her father's house: and
when the father of the damsel saw him,
he rejoiced to meet him.
4 And his father in law, the damsel's
father, retained him; and he abode with
him three days: so they did eat and drink,
and lodged there.
5 And it came to pass on the fourth day,
when they arose early in the morning,
that he rose up to depart: and the
damsel's father said to his son in law,
Comfort your heart with a morsel of
lechem (bread), and afterward go your
way.
6 And they sat down, and did eat and
drink both of them together: for the
damsel's father had said to the man, Be
content, I pray you, and stay tonight, and
let your heart be merry.
7 And when the man rose up to depart,
his father in law urged him: therefore he
lodged there again.
8 And he arose early in the morning on
the fifth day to depart: and the damsel's
father said, Comfort your heart, I pray
you. And they waited until afternoon, and
they did eat both of them.
9 And when the man rose up to depart,
he, and his concubine, and his servant,
his father in law, the damsel's father, said
to him, Behold, now the day draws
toward evening, I pray you stay tonight:
behold, the day grows to an end, lodge
here, that your heart may be merry; and
tomorrow you can leave early, that you
may go home.
10 But the man would not stay that
night, but he rose up and departed, and
came over against Yebus, which is
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem); and there
were with him two donkeys saddled, his
concubine also was with him.
11 And when they were by Yebus, the
day was far spent; and the servant said to
his master, Come, I pray you, and let us
turn in into this city of the Yebusites, and
lodge in it.
12 And his master said to him, We will
not turn aside here into the city of a
480
foreigner, that is not of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); we will pass over to
Gibeah.
13 And he said to his servant, Come,
and let us draw near to one of these
places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in
Ramah.
14 And they passed on and went their
way; and the sun went down upon them
when they were by Gibeah, which
belongs to Benyamin (Benjamin).
15 And they turned aside there, to go in
and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he
went in, he sat him down in a street of the
city: for there was no man that took them
into his house for lodging.
16 And, behold, there came an old man
from his work out of the field in the
evening, which was also of Mount
Ephraim; and he lived in Gibeah: but the
men of the place were Benjamites.
17 And when he had lifted up his eyes,
he saw the traveller in the square of the
city: and the old man said, Where do you
want to go? And where do you come
from?
18 And he said to him, We are passing
from Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem) in
Yahudah (Judea) toward the side of
Mount Ephraim; from there am I: and I
went to Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem) in
Yahudah (Judea), but I am now going to
the house of hwhy; and there is no man
that receives me in their house.
19 Yet there is both straw and
provisions for our donkeys; and there is
lechem (bread) and wine also for me, and
for your handmaid, and for the young
man who is with your servants: there is
no lack of anything.
20 And the old man said, Shalom
(peace) be with you; however let all your
needs be upon me; only lodge not in the
square.
21 So he brought him into his house,
and gave him provisions to the donkeys:
and they washed their feet, and did eat
and drink.
22 Now as they were making their
hearts merry, behold, the men of the city,
 Judges (Shoftim)
certain sons of Beliyaal,1 beset the house
roundabout, and beat at the door, and
spoke to the master of the house, the old
man, saying, Bring forth the man that
came into your house, that we may have
sexual intercourse with him.
23 And the man, the master of the
house, went out to them, and said to
them, No, my brethren, no, I pray you, do
not so wickedly; seeing that this man is
come into my house, do not this folly.
24 Behold, here is my daughter a
maiden, and his concubine; them I will
bring out now, and you may humble
them, and do with them what seems good
to you: but to this man do no vile thing.
25 But the men would not hearken to
him: so the Lewite took his concubine,
and brought her forth to them; and they
raped her, and abused her all the night
until the morning: and when the day
began to spring, they let her go.
26 Then the came woman at the dawn
of the day, and fell down at the door of
the man's house where her husband was,
till it was light.3
27 And her husband rose up in the
morning, and opened the doors of the
house, and went out to go his way: and,
behold, the woman his concubine was
fallen down at the door of the house, and
her hands were upon the threshold.
28 And he said to her, Arise, and let us
1 Sons of wickedness, good for nothing.
2 Sadly to save one life the old man was allowing
his daughter to be abused and raped alongside the
Levite’s wife. This shows us sin at its worst state
when men do not oppose the honour of their
women and fall down so low.
3 The woman had been failed, her husband was
beaten up and left for dead too (Judges 20:5) the
local community, who also did not come out to
help them. This was a terrible sin, a woman gang
raped in the open square of the city. This shows
what happens when we leave YHWH’s loving
Torah instructions and fall into our own human
depravity where there is no law and we are a law
unto ourselves.
be going. But she did not answer. Then
the man took her up upon an ass, and the
man rose up, and took her to his place.
29 And when he was come into his
house, he took a knife, and laid hold on
his concubine, and divided her, together
with her bones, into twelve pieces, and
sent her into all the coasts of Yah’sar’el
(Israel). 4
30 And it was so, that all that saw it
said, There was no such deed done nor
seen from the day that the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) came up out of the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt) to this day: consider
of it, take advice, and speak your minds.

Chapter 20
1 Then all the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) went out, and the congregation
was gathered together as one man, from
Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of
Gilead, to hwhy in Mizpeh.
2 And the chief of all the people, even of
all the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
presented themselves in the assembly of
the people of Elohim, four hundred
thousand footmen that drew sword.
3 Now the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) heard that the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) were gone up to
Mizpeh. Then said the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Tell us, how was this
wickedness done?
4 And the Lewite, the husband of the
woman that was slain, answered and
said, I came into Gibeah that belongs to
Benyamin (Benjamin), I and my
concubine, to lodge.
5 And the men of Gibeah rose against
me, and beset the house roundabout
upon me by night, and thought to have
slain me:5 and my concubine have they

forced, that she is dead.
6 And I took my concubine, and cut her
in pieces, and sent her throughout all the
country of the inheritance of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): for they have committed
lewdness and folly in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 Behold, you are all children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); give here your advice
and counsel.
8 And all the people arose as one man,
saying, We will not any of us go to his
tent, neither will we any of us turn into his
house.
9 But now this shall be the thing which
we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot
against it;
10 And we will take ten men of an
hundred throughout all the tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and an hundred of a
thousand, and a thousand out of ten
thousand, to fetch supplies for the
people, that they may do, when they
come to Gibeah of Benyamin (Benjamin),
according to all the folly that they have
wrought in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
11 So all the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
were gathered against the city, knit
together as one man.
12 And the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
sent men through all the tribe of
Benyamin (Benjamin), saying, What
wickedness is this that is done among
you?
13 Now therefore deliver us the men,
the children of Beliyaal, which are in
Gibeah, that we may put them to death,
and put away evil from Yah’sar’el (Israel).
But the children of Benyamin (Benjamin)
would not hearken to the voice of their
brethren the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel):
14 And the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) gathered themselves together
out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to
battle against the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
15 And the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) were numbered at that time
out of the cities twenty six thousand men
that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of
482
Gibeah, which were numbered seven
hundred chosen men.
16 Among all this people there were
seven hundred chosen men left-handed;
everyone could sling stones at a hair
breadth, and not miss.
17 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
beside Benyamin (Benjamin), were
numbered four hundred thousand men
that drew sword: all these were men of
war.
18 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
arose, and went up to the house of
Elohim, and asked counsel of Elohim,
and said, Which of us shall go up first to
battle against the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin)? And hwhy said, Yahudah
(Judah) shall go up first.
19 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
rose up in the morning, and encamped
against Gibeah.
20 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
went out to battle against Benyamin
(Benjamin); and the men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) put themselves in array to fight
against them at Gibeah.
21 And the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) came forth out of Gibeah, and
destroyed down to the ground of the
Israelites that day twenty two thousand
men.
22 And the people the men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) encouraged themselves, and set
their battle again in array in the place
where they put themselves in array the
first day.
23 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
went up and wept before hwhy until
evening, and asked counsel of hwhy,
saying, Shall I go up again to battle
against the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) my brother? And hwhy said,
Go up against him.
24 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
came near against the children of
Benyamin (Benjamin) the second day.
25 And Benyamin (Benjamin) went forth
against them out of Gibeah the second
day, and destroyed down to the ground of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) again
 Judges (Shoftim)
eighteen thousand men; all these drew
the sword.
26 Then all the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and all the people, went up, and
came to the house of Elohim, and wept,
and sat there before hwhy, and fasted
that day until evening, and offered burnt
offerings and shalom (peace) offerings
before hwhy.
27 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
enquired of hwhy, (for the ark of the
covenant of Elohim was there in those
days,
28 And Phinehas, the son of Eli’ezer,
the son of Aharon, stood before it in
those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go
out to battle against the children of
Benyamin (Benjamin) my brother, or shall
I cease? And hwhy said, Go up; for
tomorrow I will deliver them into your
hand.
29 And Yah’sar’el (Israel) set ambushes
roundabout Gibeah.
30 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
went up against the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) on the third day, and put
themselves in array against Gibeah, as at
other times.
31 And the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) went out against the people,
and were drawn away from the city; and
they began to smite of the people, and
kill, as at other times, in the highways, of
which one goes up to the house of
Elohim, and the other to Gibeah in the
field, about thirty men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
32 And the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) said, They are smitten down
before us, as at the first. But the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) said, Let us flee, and
draw them from the city to the highways.
33 And all the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
rose up out of their place, and put
themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and
the ambush of Yah’sar’el (Israel) came
forth out of their places, even out of the
meadows of Gibeah.
34 And there came against Gibeah ten
thousand chosen men out of all
483
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and the battle was
sore: but they knew not that evil was near
them.
35 And hwhy smote Benyamin
(Benjamin) before Yah’sar’el (Israel): and
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
destroyed of the Benjamites that day
twenty five thousand and a hundred men:
all these drew the sword.
36 So the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) saw that they were smitten:
for the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel) gave
place to the Benjamites, because they
trusted to the ambush which they had set
beside Gibeah.
37 And the ambush hurried, and rushed
upon Gibeah; and the ambush drew
themselves along, and smote all the city
with the edge of the sword.
38 Now there was an appointed sign
between the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
and the ambush, that they should make a
great flame with smoke rise up out of the
city.
39 And when the men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) retired in the battle, Benyamin
(Benjamin) began to smite and kill of the
men of Yah’sar’el (Israel) about thirty
persons: for they said, Surely they are
defeated before us, as in the first battle.
40 But when the flame began to arise
up out of the city with a pillar of smoke,
the Benjamites looked behind them, and,
behold, the flame of the city ascended up
to shamayim (heavens).
41 And when the men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) turned again, the men of
Benyamin (Benjamin) were amazed: for
they saw that evil was come upon them.
42 Therefore they turned their backs
before the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to
the way of the wilderness; but the battle
overtook them; and those which came out
of the cities they destroyed in the midst of
them.
43 Thus they surrounded the
Benjamites roundabout, and chased
them, and trod them down with ease over
against Gibeah toward the sun rising.
44 And there fell of Benyamin
 Judges (Shoftim)
(Benjamin) eighteen thousand men; all
these were men of valour.
45 And they turned and fled toward the
wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and
they gleaned of them in the highways five
thousand men; and pursued hard after
them to Gidom, and slew two thousand
men of them.
46 So that all which fell that day of
Benyamin (Benjamin) were twenty five
thousand men that drew the sword; all
these were men of valour.
47 But six hundred men turned and fled
to the wilderness to the rock Rimmon,
and abode in the rock Rimmon four
months.
48 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
turned again upon the children of
Benyamin (Benjamin), and smote them
with the edge of the sword, as well the
men of every city, as the beast, and all
that came to hand: also they set on fire all
the cities that they came to.
Chapter 21
1 Now the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel) had
sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not
any of us give his daughter to Benyamin
(Benjamin) to wife.
2 And the people came to the house of
Elohim, and abode there till even before
Elohim, and lifted up their voices, and
wept sore;
3 And said, O hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), why is this come to
pass in Yah’sar’el (Israel), that there
should be to day one tribe lacking in
Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
4 And it came to pass on that the day
after, the people rose early, and built
there an altar, and offered burnt offerings
and shalom (peace) offerings.
5 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
said, Who is there among all the tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) that came not up with
the congregation to hwhy? For they had
made a great oath concerning him that
came not up to hwhy to Mizpeh, saying,
He shall surely be put to death.
6 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
484
regretted there for Benyamin (Benjamin)
their brother, and said, There is one tribe
cut off from Yah’sar’el (Israel) this day.
7 How shall we do for wives for them
that remain, seeing we have sworn by
hwhy that we will not give them of our
daughters for wives?
8 And they said, What one is there of
the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel) that came
not up to Mizpeh to hwhy? And, behold,
there came none to the camp from
Yabesh-Gilead to the assembly.
9 For the people were numbered, and,
behold, there were none of the
inhabitants of Yabesh-Gilead there.
10 And the congregation sent there
twelve thousand capable warriors, and
commanded them, saying, Go and smite
the inhabitants of Yabesh-Gilead with the
edge of the sword, with the women and
the children.
11 And this is the thing that you shall
do, You shall utterly destroy every male,
and every woman that has lain by man.
12 And they found among the
inhabitants of Yabesh-Gilead four
hundred young virgins that had known no
man by lying with any male: and they
brought them to the camp to Shiloh,
which is in the land of Canaan.
13 And the whole congregation sent
some to speak to the children of
Benyamin (Benjamin) that were in the
rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably to
them. 1
14 And Benyamin (Benjamin) came
1 East of the river Jordan, the three tribes of
Gawd, Reuben and Half of Manashsheh. These
women would come out to dance so the husband
to be would come and select a bride, the
Benjamite did this to preserve their tribe. This was
wisdom in action by the elders in the south who
allowed Benjamin to live as a tribe and not to
perish completely. The Benjamites had been
punished for the sins the men committed who
were sodomites and hopefully a lesson had been
learnt not to harbour criminals who break YHWH’s
Torah.

again at that time; and they gave them 24 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
wives which they had saved alive of the departed there at that time, every man to
women of Yabesh-Gilead: and yet so his tribe and to his family, and they went

Benyamin (Benjamin), because that 25 In those days there was no king in
hwhy had made weakened the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel): every man did that
Yah’sar’el (Israel). which was right in his own eyes. .‫ת‬
16 Then the elders of the congregation
said, How shall we do for wives for them
that remain, seeing the women are
destroyed out of Benyamin (Benjamin)?
17 And they said, There must be an
inheritance for them that be escaped of
Benyamin (Benjamin), that a tribe be not
destroyed out of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
18 But we may not give them wives of
our daughters: for the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) have sworn, saying,
Cursed be he that gives a wife to
Benyamin (Benjamin).
19 Then they said, Behold, there is a
feast of hwhy in Shiloh yearly in a place
which is on the north side of Beyth’el, on
the east side of the highway that goes up
from Beyth’el to Shechem, and on the
south of Lebonah.
20 Therefore they commanded the
children of Benyamin (Benjamin), saying,
Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
21 And see, and, behold, if the
daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in
dances, then come you out of the
vineyards, and catch every man his wife
of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the
land of Benyamin (Benjamin).
22 And it shall be, when their ahvot
(fathers) or their brethren come to us to
complain, that we will say to them, Be
favourable to them for our sakes:
because we reserved not to each man his
wife in the war: for you did not give to
them at this time, that you should be
guilty.
23 And the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) did so, and took them wives,
according to their number, of them that
danced, whom they caught: and they
went and returned to their inheritance,
and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.

‫שׁמואל א‬
Chapter 1
1 Now there was a certain man of
Ramathayim-zophim, of Mount Ephraim,
and his name was Elkanah, the son of
Yeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of
Tohu, the son of Tsuph, an Ephrathite:
2 And he had two wives;1 the name of the
one was Hannah, and the name of the
other Peninnah: and Peninnah had
children, but Hannah had no children.
3 And this man went up out of his city
yearly to worship and to sacrifice to hwhy
of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli,
Hophni and Phinehas, the kohenim
(priests) of hwhy, were there.
4 And when the time was that Elkanah
offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and
to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
5 But to Hannah he gave a worthy
portion; for he loved Hannah: but hwhy
had shut up her womb.
6 And her rival also made her irritable, for
to make her worry, because hwhy had
shut up her womb. 2
7 And as he did so year by year, when
she went up to the house of hwhy, so she
provoked her; therefore she wept, and did
not eat.
8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her,
Hannah, why do you weep? And why do
you not eat? And why is your heart
grieved? Am I not better to you than ten
sons?
9 So Hannah rose up after they had
eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk.
Now Eli the Kohen (Priest) sat upon a seat
by a post of the Temple of hwhy.
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and
prayed to hwhy, and wept sore.
11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O
hwhy of hosts, if you will indeed look on
the affliction of your handmaid, and
remember3 me,4 and not forget your
handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a
man child, then I will give him to hwhy all
the days of his life, and there shall no razor
come upon his head.
12 And it came to pass, as she continued
praying before hwhy, that Eli marked her
mouth.
13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart;
only her lips moved, but her voice was not
heard: therefore Eli thought she had been
drunk.
14 And Eli said to her, How long will you
be drunk? Put away your wine from you.
15 And Hannah answered and said, No,
my master, I am a woman of a sorrowful
ruach (spirit): I have drunk neither wine5

nor strong drink, but have poured out my
soul before hwhy.
16 Count not your handmaid for a
daughter of Beliyaal: for out of the
abundance of my complaint and grief have
I spoken hitherto.
17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in
shalom (peace): and the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) grant you your petition
that you have asked of him.
18 And she said, Let your handmaid find
grace in your sight. So the woman went
her way, and did eat, and her countenance
was no more sad.
19 And they rose up in the morning early,
and worshipped before hwhy, and
returned, and came to their house to
Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his
wife; and hwhy remembered her.1
20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the
time was come about after Hannah had
conceived, that she bare a son, and called
his name Shemu’el (Samuel), saying,
Because I have asked him of hwhy.
21 And the man Elkanah, and all his
house, went up to offer to hwhy the yearly
sacrifice, and his vow.2
22 But Hannah went not up; for she said
to her husband, I will not go up until the
child is weaned, and then I will bring him,
that he may appear before hwhy, and
there abide forever.
23 And Elkanah her husband said to her,
The Romans forbade wine to women, and
drunkenness in them was a capital crime, as
adultery, or any other; and indeed a drunken woman
is liable to all manner of sin: (Plin. Nat. Hist. l. 14. c.
13.)
11 She conceived and became pregnant, YHWH
remembered her means he favoured her. Samuel
one of Israel’s greatest prophets came from the
second wife of Elkanah. This once again shows
Biblically polygamy was the norm and not the
exception as many like to believe. Samuel was a
Levite.
2 The time of fulfilling all vows and also during this
time they can be revoked. The fact it mentions the
annual sacrifice is the Day of Atonement.
487
Do what seems you good; stay until you
have weaned him; only hwhy establish his
word. So the woman remained, and nursed
her son until she weaned him.
24 And when she had weaned him, she
took him up with her, with three bullocks,
and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of
wine, and brought him to the house of
hwhy in Shiloh: and the child was young.
25 And they sacrificed a bullock, and
brought the child to Eli.
26 And she said, Oh my master, as your
soul lives, my master, I am the woman that
stood by you here, praying to hwhy.
27 For this child I prayed; and hwhy has
given me my petition which I asked of him:
28 Therefore also I have lent him to the
hwhy; as long as he lives he shall be lent
to hwhy. And he worshipped hwhy there.
Chapter 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart
rejoices in hwhy, my horn is exalted in
hwhy: my mouth is enlarged over my
enemies; because I rejoice in your
deliverance.3
2 There is none Set-Apart as hwhy: for
there is none beside you: neither is there
any rock like our Elohim.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let
not arrogance come out of your mouth: for
hwhy is the El of knowledge,4 and by him
actions are weighed.

6 hwhy kills, and makes alive: he brings
down to the grave, and brings up.
7 hwhy makes poor, and makes rich: he
brings low, and lifts up.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust,
and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to
set them among princes, and to make
them inherit the throne of glory: for the
pillars of the earth are hwhy's, and he has
set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his Israelite
kedoshim (saints), and the wicked shall be
silent in darkness; for by strength shall no
man prevail.
10 The adversaries of hwhy shall be
broken to pieces; out of shamayim

and he shall give strength to his king, and

house. And the child did minister to the

12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of
Beliyaal;3 they knew not hwhy.
13 And the kohenim (priests)' custom with
the people was, that, when any man
offered sacrifice, the kohen (priest)'s
servant came, while the meat was in
cooking, with a three-pronged hook in his
hand;
14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle,
or caldron, or pot; all that the three-

where there is polygamy involved, because YHWH
exalted the second wife and took away the children
of the first by death. Hannah had many other
children. First Samuel 2:21

churches are sons of Beliyaal and not sons of the
light.

pronged hook brought up the kohen
(priest) took for himself. So they did in
Shiloh to all the Israelites that came there.
15 Also before they burnt the fat, the
kohen (priest)'s servant came, and said to
the man that sacrificed, Give meat to roast
for the kohen (priest); for he will not have
cooked meat from you, but raw.
16 And if any man said to him, Let them
not fail to burn the fat presently, and then
take as much as your soul desires; then he
would answer him, No; but you shall give it
to me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Wherefore the sin of the young men
was very great before hwhy: for the men
despised the offering of hwhy.
18 But Shemu’el (Samuel)4 ministered
before hwhy, being a child, girded with a
linen ephod.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little
year, when she came up with her husband
to offer the yearly sacrifice.5
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife,
and said, hwhy give you seed of this
woman for the loan which is lent to hwhy.
And they went to their own home.
21 And hwhy visited Hannah, so that she
conceived, and bare three sons and two
daughters. And the child Shemu’el
(Samuel) grew before hwhy.
22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all
that his sons did to all Yah’sar’el (Israel);
and how they lay with the women that
assembled at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
23 And he said to them, Why do you do
such things? For I hear of your evil
dealings by all this people.
24 No, my sons; for it is not a good report
that I hear: you make hwhy's people to
transgress.6

6 YHWH will not forgive Pastors and teachers
without repentance, who teach his people to sin in
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
25 If one man sin against another, the
judge shall judge him: but if a man sin
against hwhy, who shall for him?
Notwithstanding they hearkened not to the
voice of their father, because hwhy would
slay them.
26 And the child Shemu’el (Samuel) grew
on, and was in favour both with hwhy, and
also with men.
27 And there came a man of Elohim to
Eli, and said to him, Thus says hwhy, Did I
plainly appear to the house of your father,
when they were in Mitzrayim (Egypt) in
Pharaoh's house?
28 And did I choose him out of all the
tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to be my Kohen
(priest), to offer upon my altar, to burn
incense, to wear an ephod before me? And
did I give to the house of your father all the
offerings made by fire of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
29 Why do you kick at my sacrifice and at
my offering, which I have commanded in
my dwelling place; and honour your sons
above me, to make yourselves fat with the
chiefest of all the offerings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) my people?
30 Therefore hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) says, I said indeed that your house,
and the house of your father, should walk
before me forever: but now hwhy says, Be
it far from me; for them that honour me I
will honour, and they that despise me shall
be cursed.1
31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut
off your arm, and the arm of your father's
house, that there shall not be an old man in
your house.
32 And you shall see an enemy in my
dwelling place, in all the wealth which
various ways even today when they tell people its ok
to eat unclean, its ok to stay together while
unmarried.
1 Most Bible translations make a mistake in
translating this here. YHWH is clear those that
despise Him will be cursed pure and simple. The
same word in Hebrew ‘kalal’ is used here as in
Genesis 12:3.
Elohim shall give Yah’sar’el (Israel): and
there shall not be an old man in your house
forever.
33 And the man of your, whom I shall not
cut off from my altar, shall be to consume
your eyes, and to grieve your heart: and all
the increase of your house shall die in the
flower of their age.
34 And this shall be a sign to you that
shall come upon your two sons, on Hophni
and Phinehas; in one day they shall die
both of them.2
35 And I will raise myself up a faithful
kohen (priest), that shall do according to
that which is in my heart and in my mind:
and I will build him a sure house; and he
shall walk before My anointed forever.
36 And it shall come to pass, that every
one that is left in your house shall come
and crouch to him for a piece of silver and
a morsel of lechem (bread), and shall say,
Put me, I pray you, into one of the kohenim
(priests)' offices, that I may eat a piece of
lechem (bread).

1 And the child Shemu’el (Samuel)
ministered to hwhy before Eli. And the
word of hwhy was rare in those days; there
was no open vision.
2 And it came to pass at that time, when
Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes
began to wax dim, that he could not see;
3 And the lamp of Elohim had not been
extinguished in the Temple of hwhy, where
the ark of Elohim was, and Shemu’el
(Samuel) was laid down to sleep;
4 That hwhy called Shemu’el (Samuel):
and he answered, Here am I.

for you called me. And he said, I called not;
lie down again. And he went and lay down.

is made known, it brings death. So if anyone fights
against YHWH’s Torah they will be under a curse
that will result in the early death of the person.

(Samuel). And Shemu’el (Samuel) arose
and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for
you did call me. And he answered, I called
not, my son; lie down again.
7 Now Shemu’el (Samuel) did not yet
have acquaintance with hwhy, neither was
the word of hwhy yet revealed to him.
8 And hwhy called Shemu’el (Samuel)
again the third time. And he arose and
went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you did
call me. And Eli perceived that hwhy had
called the child.
9 Therefore Eli said to Shemu’el
(Samuel), Go, lie down: and it shall be, if
he calls you, that you shall say, Speak,
hwhy; for your servant listens. So
Shemu’el (Samuel) went and lay down in
his place.
10 And hwhy came, and stood, and
called as at other times, Shemu’el,
Shemu’el (Samuel, Samuel). Then
Shemu’el (Samuel) answered, Speak; for
your servant hears.
11 And hwhy said to Shemu’el (Samuel),
Behold, I will do a thing in Yah’sar’el
(Israel), at which both the ears of everyone
that hears it shall tingle.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all
things which I have spoken concerning his
house: when I begin, I will also make an
end.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his
house forever for the iniquity which he
knows; because his sons made
themselves vile, and he restrained them
not.
14 And therefore I have sworn to the
house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house
shall not be purged with sacrifice nor
offering forever.1
15 And Shemu’el (Samuel) lay until the
morning, and opened the doors of the
house of hwhy. And Shemu’el (Samuel)

needed for a defiant sin then how wrong many are
on that. YHWH made it absolutely clear he will not
purge the sin of these two not at all.
feared to show Eli the vision.
16 Then Eli called Shemu’el (Samuel),
and said, Shemu’el (Samuel), my son. And
he answered, Here am I.
17 And he said, What is the thing that
hwhy has said to you? I pray you hide it
not from me: Elohim do so to you, and
more also, if you hide anything from me of
all the things that he said to you.
18 And Shemu’el (Samuel) told him
everything, and hid nothing from him. And
he said, this is hwhy: let him do what
seems good to him.
19 And Shemu’el (Samuel) grew, and
hwhy was with him, and let none of his
words fall to the ground.
20 And all Yah’sar’el (Israel) from Dan
even to Beersheba knew that Shemu’el
(Samuel) was established to be a prophet
of hwhy.
21 And hwhy appeared again in Shiloh:2
for hwhy revealed himself to Shemu’el
(Samuel) in Shiloh by the word of hwhy.

1 And the word of Shemu’el (Samuel)
came to all Yah’sar’el (Israel). Now
Yah’sar’el (Israel) went out against the
Plushtim (Philistines) to battle, and pitched
beside Ebenezer: and the Plushtim
(Philistines) pitched in Aphek.
2 And the Plushtim (Philistines) put
themselves in array against Yah’sar’el
(Israel): and when they joined battle,
Yah’sar’el (Israel) was smitten before the
Plushtim (Philistines): and they slew of the
army in the field about four thousand men.
3 And when the people were come into
the camp, the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
said, Therefore has hwhy smitten us today
before the Plushtim (Philistines)? Let us
fetch the ark of the covenant of hwhy out
of Shiloh to us, that, when it comes among

Moses was pitched, which is 18 miles from
Yerushalayim. It also had all the Tabernacle
furniture in it.

us, it may save us out of the hand of our
enemies.
4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they
might bring from there the ark of the
covenant of hwhy of hosts, which dwells
between the Cherubims: and the two sons
of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there
with the ark of the covenant of Elohim.
5 And when the ark of the covenant of
hwhy came into the camp, all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) shouted with a great shout, so that
the earth rang again.
6 And when the Plushtim (Philistines)
heard the noise of the shout, they said,
What does the noise mean of this great
shout in the camp of the Abrahuans
(Hebrews)? And they understood that the
ark of hwhy had come into the camp.
7 And the Plushtim (Philistines) were
afraid, for they said, Elohim is come into
the camp. And they said, Woe to us! For
there has not been such a thing heretofore.
8 Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of
the hand of these mighty Elohim? These
are the Elohim that smote the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) with all the plagues in the
wilderness.
9 Be strong, and be like men, O you
Plushtim (Philistines), that you be not
servants to the Abrahuans (Hebrews), as
they have been to you: be like men, and 1 for he was an old man, and heavy. And he
fight.
10 And the Plushtim (Philistines) fought,
and Yah’sar’el (Israel) was smitten, and
they fled every man into his tent: and there
was a very great slaughter; for there fell of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) thirty thousand footmen.
11 And the ark of Elohim was taken; and
the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,
were slain. 2
12 And there ran a man of Benyamin
1 The Philistines were rightly afraid for who can
stand against YHWH and win but the problem was
that YHWH was not in the camp of Israel because of
their sins and so the Philistines would gain this
victory but not for long.

(Benjamin) out of the army, and came to
Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn,
and with dirt upon his head.
13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a
seat by the wayside watching: for his heart
trembled for the ark of Elohim. And when
the man came into the city, and told it, all
the city cried out.
14 And when Eli heard the noise of the
crying, he said, What doe this noise means
of this tumult? And the man came in
hastily, and told Eli.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old;
and his eyes were dim, that he could not
see.
16 And the man said to Eli, I am he that
came out of the army, and I fled today out
of the army. And he said, What is there
done, my son?
17 And the messenger answered and
said, Yah’sar’el (Israel) is fled before the
Plushtim (Philistines), and there has been
also a great slaughter among the people,
and your two sons also, Hophni and
Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of Elohim
is taken.
18 And it came to pass, when he made
mention of the ark of Elohim, that he fell
from off the seat backward by the side of
the gate, and his neck broke, and he died:
had judged Yah’sar’el (Israel) forty years.
19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas'
wife, was with child, near to be delivered:
and when she heard the tidings that the ark
of Elohim was taken, and that her father in
law and her husband were dead, she
bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains
came upon her.
20 And about the time of her death the
women that stood by her said to her, Fear
not; for you have born a son. But she
answered not, neither did she regard it.
21 And she named the child Ichabod,
saying, The glory is departed from
Yah’sar’el (Israel): because the ark of
Elohim was taken, and because of her
father in law and her husband.
22 And she said, The glory is departed
from Yah’sar’el (Israel): for the ark of
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
Elohim is taken.1
Chapter 5
1 And the Plushtim (Philistines) took the
ark of Elohim, and brought it from
Ebenezer to Ashdod.
2 When the Plushtim (Philistines) took the
ark of Elohim, they brought it into the
house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 2 us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early
the next day, behold, Dagon was fallen
3
upon his face to the earth before the ark
of hwhy. And they took Dagon, and set
him in his place again.
4 And when they arose early on the next
morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon
his face to the ground before the ark of
hwhy; and the head of Dagon and both the
palms of his hands4 were cut off upon the
threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left
to him.
5 Therefore neither the kohenim (priests)
of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's
house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in
Ashdod to this day.
1 The Ark of the Covenant was considered YHWH’s
throne on the earth.
2 The fish elohim, the one that the Philistines
worshipped. The symbol of the fish that many
Christians put on their cars and houses is of Dagon
and not of YHWH. YHWH’s symbol for men is the
tzitzits and menorah for the home.
3 Dagon fallen on its face into submission and his
people given Haemorrhoids fitting description and
punishment by Elohim. The Philistines had a habit of
sodomizing their victims and terrorizing them hence
YHWH sends His right-ruling appropriately. This is
why King Sha’ul wanted to die and took his own life
so that he could not be abused sexually. First
Samuel 31:4
4 Both hands were cut off from this manmade statue
to show that he could neither judge nor have mercy
on anyone, not even on himself. The sign of these
two hands is showing us the Sefirotic symbols and
their mystical meanings. The head being decapitated
shows that there is no crown on Dagon’s head and
he has no authority, the keter (crown) is on
Messiah’s head and He carries authority.
492
6 But the hand of hwhy was heavy upon
them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them,
and smote them with hemorrhoids, even
Ashdod and the all the surrounding
regions.5
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that
it was so, they said, The ark of the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall not abide with
Dagon our mighty ones.6
8 They sent therefore and gathered all
the princes of the Plushtim (Philistines) to
them, and said, What shall we do with the
ark of the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
And they answered, Let the ark of the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) be carried
about to Gath. And they carried the ark of
the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) about
there.
9 And it was so, that, after they had
carried it about, the hand of hwhy was
against the city with a very great
destruction: and he smote the men of the
city, both small and great, and they had
hemorrhoids.
10 Therefore they sent the ark of Elohim
to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of
Elohim came to Ekron, that the Ekronites
cried out, saying, They have brought about
the ark of the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
to us, to slay us and our people.
11 So they sent and gathered together all
the princes of the Plushtim (Philistines),
and said, Send away the ark of the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and let it go again to
his own place, that it slay us not, and our
people: for there was a deadly destruction
throughout all the city; the hand of Elohim
was very heavy there.
12 And the men that did not die were
smitten with hemorrhoids: and the cry of
the city went up to the shamayim
5 They will spend more time in Toilet in pain than in
the Temple with Dagon.
6 The poor statue of man’s hand could not defend
itself, how could a lifeless thing do anything, it was
of no worth.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
(heavens).
Chapter 6
1 And the ark of hwhy was in the country
of the Plushtim (Philistines) seven months.
2 And the Plushtim (Philistines) called for
the kohenim (priests) and the diviners,
saying, What shall we do to the ark of
hwhy? Tell us wherewith we shall send it
to his place.
3 And they said, If you send away the ark
of the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), send it
not empty; but in any wise return him a
trespass offering: then you shall be healed,
and it shall be known to you why his hand
is not removed from you.
4 Then said they, What shall be the
trespass offering which we shall return to
him? They answered, Five golden
hemorrhoids, and five golden mice,
according to the number of the princes of
the Plushtim (Philistines): for one plague
was on you all, and on your princes.1
5 Therefore you shall make images of
your hemorrhoids, and images of your
mice that struck the land; and you shall
give glory to the Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): peradventure he will lighten his
hand from off you, and from off your mighty
ones, and from off your land.
6 Therefore then do you harden your
hearts, as the Mitzrim (Egyptians) and
Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he
had dealt with them severely, did they not
let the people go, and they departed?
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and
take two milk cows, on which there has
come no yoke, and tie the cows to the cart,
and bring their calves’ home from them:
8 And take the ark of hwhy, and lay it
upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold,
which you return him for a trespass
offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and
1 It is believed that the plague was on five cities not
three as the narrative here is probably shortened to
show three cities plagued. This is why five mice and
five golden hemorrhoids are sent out.
send it away, that it may go.
9 And see, if it goes up by the way of his
own coast to Beyth-shemesh, then he has
done us this great evil: but if not, then we
shall know that it is not his hand that smote
us: it was a chance that happened to us.2
10 And the men did so; and took two milk
cows, and tied them to the cart, and shut
up their calves at home:
11 And they laid the ark of hwhy upon
the cart, and the chest with the mice of
gold and the images of their hemorrhoids.
12 And the milk cows took the straight
way to the way of Beyth-shemesh, and
went along the highway, lowing as they
went, and turned not aside to the right
hand or to the left; and the princes of the
Plushtim (Philistines) went after them to
the border of Beyth-shemesh.
13 And they of Beyth-shemesh were
reaping their wheat harvest in the valley:
and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the
ark, and rejoiced to see it.
14 And the cart came into the field of
Yahushua, a Beyth-shemite, and stood
there, where there was a great stone: and
they clave the wood of the cart, and offered
the milk cows a burnt offering to hwhy.
15 And the Lewites took down the ark of
hwhy, and the chest that was on it,
wherein the jewels of gold were, and put
them on the great stone: and the men of
Beyth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and
sacrificed sacrifices the same day to hwhy.
16 And when the five princes of the
Plushtim (Philistines) had seen it, they
returned to Ekron the same day.
17 And these are the golden hemorrhoids
2 The priest of Dagon used sound logic by
suggesting that the people take two milking cows,
which have never been yoked and take their
newborn and watch the cows. If the cows go
towards the young, which is what the cows should
have done then they could say it was only a chance
event and we only thought that it was the Israel’s
Elohim but if the cows ignore their children and go
out then it means it was YHWH. Indeed it was
YHWH who struck the Philistines.

 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
which the Plushtim (Philistines) returned
for a trespass offering to hwhy; for Ashdod
one, for Azzah (Gaza) one, for Ashkelon
one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
18 And the golden mice, according to the
number of all the cities of the Plushtim
(Philistines) belonging to the five princes,
both of fenced cities, and of country
villages, even to the great stone of Abel,
whereon they set down the ark of hwhy:
which stone remains to this day in the field
of Yahushua, the Beyth-shemite.
19 And he smote the men of Beyth-
shemesh, because they had looked into
the ark of hwhy, even he smote of the
people seventy men, fifty thousand men:1
and the people lamented, because hwhy
had smitten many of the people with a
great slaughter.
20 And the men of Beyth-shemesh said,
Who is able to stand before this Set-Apart
hwhy Elohim? And to whom shall he go up
from us?
21 And they sent messengers to the
inhabitants of Kiryath-Yearim, saying, The
Plushtim (Philistines) have brought again
the ark of hwhy; come down, and fetch it
up to you.
Chapter 7
1 And the men of Kiryath-Yearim came,
and fetched up the ark of hwhy, and
brought it into the house of Abinadab in the
hill, and sanctified Eli’ezer his son to keep
the ark of hwhy.
2 And it came to pass, while the ark
abode in Kiryath-Yearim, that the time was
long; for it was twenty years: and all the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) lamented after
hwhy.
3 And Shemu’el (Samuel) spoke to all the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, If you
1 The number 50,070 is surprisingly large at first,
however we find all the ancient manuscripts support
this reading, while it could be read seventy: fifty
thousand in number, indicating seventy elders who
represent or are like 50,000 men or a literal reading
of 50,070 to show the righteous anger of YHWH.
do return to hwhy with all your hearts, then
put away the strange mighty ones and
Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare
your hearts to hwhy, and serve him only:
and he will deliver you out of the hand of
the Plushtim (Philistines).
4 Then the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and
served hwhy only.2
5 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said, Gather all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to Mizpeh, and I will pray
for you to hwhy.
6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh,
and drew mayim (water), and poured it out
before hwhy, and fasted on that day, and
said there, We have sinned against hwhy.
And Shemu’el (Samuel) judged the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) in Mizpeh.
7 And when the Plushtim (Philistines)
heard that the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
were gathered together to Mizpeh, the
princes of the Plushtim (Philistines) went
up against Yah’sar’el (Israel). And when
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) heard it,
they were afraid of the Plushtim
(Philistines).
8 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
said to Shemu’el (Samuel), Cease not to
cry to hwhy our Elohim for us, that he will
save us out of the hand of the Plushtim
(Philistines).
9 And Shemu’el (Samuel) took a sucking
lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering
wholly to hwhy: and Shemu’el (Samuel)
cried to hwhy for Yah’sar’el (Israel); and
hwhy heard him.
10 And as Shemu’el (Samuel) was
offering up the burnt offering, the Plushtim
(Philistines) drew near to battle against
Yah’sar’el (Israel): but hwhy thundered
with a great thunder on that day upon the
Plushtim (Philistines), and destroyed them;
and they were smitten before Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
2 This also needs to happen today with Christians
and the paganism they are into. Once they stop this
then relief from their enemies would come.
494
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
11 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the
Plushtim (Philistines), and smote them,
until they came under Beyth-car.1
12 Then Shemu’el (Samuel) took a stone,
and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and
called the name of it Ebenezer, saying,
Hitherto has hwhy helped us.
13 So the Plushtim (Philistines) were
subdued, and they came no more into the
coast of Yah’sar’el (Israel): and the hand of
hwhy was against the Plushtim
(Philistines) all the days of Shemu’el
(Samuel).
14 And the cities, which the Plushtim
(Philistines) had taken from Yah’sar’el
(Israel) were restored to Yah’sar’el (Israel),
from Ekron even to Gath; and the coasts
thereof did Yah’sar’el (Israel) deliver out of
the hands of the Plushtim (Philistines). And
there was shalom (peace) between
Yah’sar’el (Israel) and the Amorites.
15 And Shemu’el (Samuel) judged
Yah’sar’el (Israel) all the days of his life.
16 And he went from year to year in
circuit to Beyth’el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh,
and judged Yah’sar’el (Israel) in all those
places.
17 And his return was to Ramah; for
there was his house; and there he judged
Yah’sar’el (Israel); and there he built an
altar to hwhy.
Chapter 8
1 And it came to pass, when Shemu’el
(Samuel) was old, that he made his sons
judges over Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 Now the name of his firstborn was
Yo’el; and the name of his second, Abi’yah:
they were judges in Beersheba.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways,
but turned aside after their own gain, and
took bribes, and perverted right-ruling.
4 Then all the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
gathered themselves together, and came
to Shemu’el (Samuel) to Ramah,
1 House of pasture
495
5 And said to him, Behold, you are old,
and your sons walk not in your ways: now
make us a king to judge us like all the
nations.
6 But the thing displeased Shemu’el
(Samuel), when they said, Give us a king
to judge us. And Shemu’el (Samuel)
prayed to hwhy.
7 And hwhy said to Shemu’el (Samuel),
Hearken to the voice of the people in all
that they say to you: for they have not
rejected you, but they have rejected me,
that I should not reign over them.2
8 According to all the works which they
have done since the day that I brought
them up out of Mitzrayim (Egypt) even to
this day, wherewith they have forsaken me,
and served other mighty ones, so do they
also to you.
9 Now therefore hearken to their voice:
but shown them clearly, what sort of king
shall reign over them.
10 And Shemu’el (Samuel) told all the
words of hwhy to the people that asked of
him a king.
11 And he said, This will be the manner
of the king that shall reign over you: He will
take your sons, and appoint them for
himself, for his chariots, and to be his
horsemen; and some shall run before his
chariots.
12 And he will appoint him commanders
over thousands, and commanders over
fifties; and will set them to plough his
ground, and to reap his harvest, and to
make his instruments of war, and
instruments of his chariots.
13 And he will take your daughters to be
ointment makers, and to be cooks, and to
be bakers.
14 And he will take your fields, and your
vineyards, and your olive yards, even the
best of them, and give them to his

human king but rejected the Divine King YHWH. The
human king that did take this place oppressed them
but then it was too late.

servants.
15 And he will take the tenth of your
seed, and of your vineyards, and give to
his officers, and to his servants.
16 And he will take your menservants,
and your maidservants, and your best
young men, and your donkeys, and put
them to his work.
17 He will take the tenth of your sheep:
and you shall be his servants.
18 And you shall cry out in that day
because of your king which you shall have
chosen you; and hwhy will not hear you in
that day.
19 Nevertheless the people refused to
obey the voice of Shemu’el (Samuel); and
they said, No; but we will have a king over
us;
20 That we also may be like all the
nations; and that our king may judge us,
and go out before us, and fight our battles.
21 And Shemu’el (Samuel) heard all the
words of the people, and he reported this
in the ears of hwhy.
22 And hwhy said to Shemu’el (Samuel),
Hearken to their voice, and make them a
king. And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to the
men of Yah’sar’el (Israel), you, go every
man to his city.
Chapter 9
1 Now there was a man of Benyamin
(Benjamin), whose name was Kish, the son
of Abi’el, the son of Zeror, the son of
Bechorath, the son of Aphi’yah, a
Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
2 And he had a son, whose name was
Sha’ul, a choice young man, and good
looking: and there was not among the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) a better
looking person than he: from his shoulders
and upward he was taller than any of the
people.
3 And the donkeys of Kish Sha’ul's father
were lost. And Kish said to Sha’ul his son,
Take now one of the servants with you,
and arise, go seek the donkeys.
4 And he passed through Mount Ephraim,
and passed through the land of Shalisha,
but they found them not: then they passed
496
through the land of Shalim, and there they
were not: and he passed through the land
of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
5 And when they were come to the land
of Tsuph, Sha’ul said to his servant that
was with him, Come, and let us return; lest
my father leave caring for the donkeys, and
worry about us.
6 And he said to him, Behold now, there
is in this city a man of Elohim, and he is an
honourable man; all that he says comes
surely to pass: now let us go there;
peradventure he can show us our way that
we should go.
7 Then said Sha’ul to his servant, But,
behold, if we go, what shall we bring the
man? For the lechem (bread) is spent in
our vessels, and there is not a present to
bring to the man of Elohim: what have we?
8 And the servant answered Sha’ul again,
and said, Behold, I have here at hand the
fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I
give to the man of Elohim, to tell us our
way.
9 Beforetime in Yah’sar’el (Israel, when a
man went to enquire of Elohim, thus he
spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for
he that is now called a Prophet was
beforetime called a Seer.
10 Then said Sha’ul to his servant, Well
said; come, let us go. So they went to the
city where the man of Elohim was.
11 And as they went up the hill to the city,
they found young maidens going out to
draw mayim (water), and said to them, Is
the seer here?
12 And they answered them, and said,
He is; behold, he is before you: make
haste now, for he came today to the city;
for there is a sacrifice of the people today
in the high place:
13 As soon as you have come into the
city, you shall straightway find him, before
he goes up to the high place to eat: for the
people will not eat until he comes, because
he blesses the sacrifice; and afterwards
they eat that are invited. Now therefore go
up; for about this time you shall find him.
14 And they went up into the city: and
when they were come into the city, behold,
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
Shemu’el (Samuel) came out against them,
for to go up to the high place.
15 Now hwhy had told Shemu’el
(Samuel) in his ear a day before Sha’ul
came, saying:
16 Tomorrow about this time I will send
you a man out of the land of Benyamin
(Benjamin), and you shall anoint him to be
leader over my people Yah’sar’el (Israel),
that he may save my people out of the
hand of the Plushtim (Philistines): for I
have looked upon my people, because
their cry is come to me.
17 And when Shemu’el (Samuel) saw
Sha’ul, hwhy said to him, Behold the man
whom I spoke to you of! This same shall
reign over my people.
18 Then Sha’ul drew near to Shemu’el
(Samuel) in the gate, and said, Tell me, I
pray you, where the seer's house is.
19 And Shemu’el (Samuel) answered
Sha’ul, and said, I am the seer: go up
before me to the high place; for you shall
eat with me today, and tomorrow I will let
you go, and will tell you all that is in your
heart.
20 And as for your donkeys that were lost
three days ago, set not your mind on them;
for they are found. And on whom is all the
desire of Yah’sar’el (Israel)? Is it not on
you, and on all your father's house?
21 And Sha’ul answered and said, Am I
not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the
tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel)? And my family
the least of all the families of the tribe of
Benyamin (Benjamin)? Why then do you
speak like this to me?
22 And Shemu’el (Samuel) took Sha’ul
and his servant, and brought them into the
upper-room, and made them sit in the
chiefest place among them that were
invited, which were about thirty persons.
23 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to the
cook, Bring the portion which I gave you, of
which I said to you, Set it by you.
24 And the cook took up the thigh, and
that which was upon it, and set it before
Sha’ul. And Shemu’el (Samuel) said,
Behold that which is left! Set it before you,
and eat: for to this time has it been kept for
497
you since I said, I have invited the people.
So Sha’ul did eat with Shemu’el (Samuel)
that day.
25 And when they were come down from
the high place into the city, Shemu’el
(Samuel) communed with Sha’ul upon the
top of the house.
26 And they arose early: and it came to
pass about the dawning of the day, that
Shemu’el (Samuel) called Sha’ul to the top
of the house, saying, Arise, that I may send
you away. And Sha’ul arose, and they went
out both of them, he and Shemu’el
(Samuel).
27 And as they were going down to the
end of the city, Shemu’el (Samuel) said to
Sha’ul, tell the servant pass on before us,
and he passed on, but you stay here a
while, that I may show you the word of
Elohim.
Chapter 10
1 Then Shemu’el (Samuel) took a vial of
oil, and poured it upon his head, and
kissed him, and said, Is it not because
hwhy has anointed you to be leader over
his inheritance?
2 When you are departed from me today,
then you shall find two men by Rachel's
sepulchre in the border of Benyamin
(Benjamin) at Zelzah; and they will say to
you, The donkeys which you went to seek
are found: and, lo, your father has left the
care of the donkeys, and is worried for you,
saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 Then shall you go on forward from
there, and you shall come to the plain of
Tabor, and there shall you meet three men
going up to Elohim to Beyth’el, one
carrying three kids, and another carrying
three loaves of lechem (bread), and
another carrying a bottle of wine:
4 And they will greet you, and give you
two loaves of lechem (bread); which you
shall receive of their hands.
5 After that you shall come to the hill of
Elohim, where is the garrison of the
Plushtim (Philistines): and it shall come to
pass, when you are come there to the city,
that you shall meet a company of prophets
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
coming down from the high place with a
psaltery, and a tambourine, and a flute,
and a harp, before them; and they shall
prophesy:
6 And the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy will
come upon you, and you shall prophesy
with them, and shall be turned into another
man.
7 And let it be, when these signs are
come to you, that you do as occasion
serve you; for Elohim is with you.
8 And you shall go down before me to
Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to
you, to offer burnt offerings, and to
sacrifice sacrifices of shalom (peace)
offerings: seven days shall you stay, till I
come to you, and show you what you shall
do.
9 And it was so, that when he had turned
his back to go from Shemu’el (Samuel),
Elohim gave him another heart: and all 1
those signs came to pass that day.
10 And when they came there to the hill,
behold, a company of prophets met him;
and the Ruach (Spirit) of Elohim came
upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11 And it came to pass, when all that
knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he
prophesied among the prophets, then the
people said one to another, What is this
that is come to the son of Kish? Is Sha’ul
also among the prophets?
12 And one at the same place answered
and said, But who is their father? Therefore
it became a proverb, Is Sha’ul also among
the prophets?
13 And when he had made an end of
prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 And Sha’ul's uncle said to him and to
his servant, where did you go? And he
said, To seek the donkeys: and when we
saw that they were nowhere, we came to
Shemu’el (Samuel).
15 And Sha’ul's uncle said, Tell me, I
1 YHWH transforms our heart of stone to a heart of
flesh and puts His Spirit within us as promised in
Ezekiel 16: 31.
498
pray you, what Shemu’el (Samuel) said to
you.
16 And Sha’ul said to his uncle, He told
us plainly that the donkeys were found. But
of the matter of the kingdom, whereof
Shemu’el (Samuel) spoke, he told him not.
17 And Shemu’el (Samuel) called the
people together to hwhy to Mizpeh;
18 And said to the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), Thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), I brought up Yah’sar’el
(Israel) out of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
delivered you out of the hand of the Mitzrim
(Egyptians), and out of the hand of all
kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
19 And you have this day rejected your
Elohim, who himself saved you out of all
your adversities and your tribulations; and
you have said to him, No, but set a king
over us. Now therefore present yourselves
before hwhy by your tribes, and by your
thousands.
20 And when Shemu’el (Samuel) had
caused all the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to
come near, the tribe of Benyamin
(Benjamin) was taken.
21 When he had caused the tribe of
Benyamin (Benjamin) to come near by
their families, the family of Matri was taken,
and Sha’ul the son of Kish was taken: and
when they sought him, he could not be
found.
22 Therefore they enquired of hwhy
further, if the man should yet come there.
And hwhy answered, Behold, he has hid
himself among the stuff.
23 And they ran and fetched him there:
and when he stood among the people, he
was higher than any of the people from his
shoulders and upward.
24 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to all the
people, You see him whom hwhy has
chosen, that there is none like him among
all the people? And all the people shouted,
and said, Elohim save the king.
25 Then Shemu’el (Samuel) told the
people the manner of the kingdom, and
wrote it in a scroll, and laid it up before
hwhy. And Shemu’el (Samuel) sent all the
people away, every man to his house.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
26 And Sha’ul also went home to Gibeah;
and there went with him a band of men,
whose hearts Elohim had touched.
27 But the children of Beliyaal1 said, How
shall this man save us? And they despised
him, and brought him no presents. But he
held his shalom (peace).
Chapter 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up,
and encamped against Yabesh-Gilead:
and all the men of Yabesh said to Nahash,
Make a covenant with us, and we will serve
you.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered
them, On this condition will I make a
covenant with you, that I may thrust out all
your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach
upon all Yah’sar’el (Israel).
3 And the elders of Yabesh said to him,
leave us alone for seven days, that we may
send messengers to all the coasts of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and then, if there be no
man to save us, we will come out to you.
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah
of Sha’ul, and spoke the words in the ears
of the people: and all the people lifted up
their voices, and wept.
5 And, behold, Sha’ul came after the herd
out of the field; and Sha’ul said, What is
the matter with the people that they weep?
And they told him the words of the men of
Yabesh.
6 And the Ruach (Spirit) of Elohim came
upon Sha’ul when he heard those words,
and his anger was kindled greatly.
7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut
them in pieces, and sent them throughout
all the coasts of Yah’sar’el (Israel) by the
hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever
does not come forth after Sha’ul and after
Shemu’el (Samuel), so shall it be done to
his oxen. And the fear of hwhy fell on the
people, and they came out with one
consent.
8 And when he numbered them in Bezek,
1 The wicked amongst the Israelites.
499
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) were
three hundred thousand, and the men of
Yahudah (Judah) thirty thousand.
9 And they said to the messengers that
came, Thus shall you say to the men of
Yabesh-Gilead, Tomorrow, by that time the
sun be hot, you shall have help. And the
messengers came and showed it to the
men of Yabesh; and they were glad.
10 Therefore the men of Yabesh said,
Tomorrow we will come out to you, and
you shall do with us all that seems good to
you.
11 And it was so on the next day that
Sha’ul put the people in three companies;
and they came into the midst of the army in
the morning watch, and slew the
Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it
came to pass, that they which remained
were scattered, so that two of them were
not left together.
12 And the people said to Shemu’el
(Samuel), Who is he that said, Shall Sha’ul
reign over us? Bring the men, that we may
put them to death.
13 And Sha’ul said, There shall not a
man be put to death this day: for today
hwhy has accomplished deliverance2 in
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
14 Then said Shemu’el (Samuel) to the
people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and
renew the kingdom there.
15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and
there they made Sha’ul king before hwhy
in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed
sacrifices of shalom (peace) offerings
before hwhy; and there Sha’ul and all the
men of Yah’sar’el (Israel) rejoiced greatly.
Chapter 12
1 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to all
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Behold, I have
hearkened to your voice in all that you said
2 Here the Hebrew word for repentance ‘teshuvah’
signifies deliverance and victory which are the result
of teshuvah which Israel did. Teshuvah can also
mean salvation in the broadest sense.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
to me, and have made a king over you.
2 And now, behold, the king walks before
you: and I am old and gray headed; and,
behold, my sons are with you: and I have
walked before you from my childhood to
this day.
3 Behold, here I am: witness against me
before hwhy, and before his anointed king:
whose ox have I taken or whose donkey
have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded?
Whom have I oppressed? Or of whose
hand have I received any bribe to blind my
eyes therewith? And I will restore it you.
4 And they said, You have not defrauded
us, nor oppressed us, neither have you
taken ought of any man's hand.
5 And he said to them, hwhy is witness
against you, and his anointed king is
witness this day, that you have not found
anything in my hand1. And they answered,
He is witness.
6 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to the
people, It is hwhy who appointed Musa
(Moses) and Aharon, and that brought your
ahvot (fathers) up out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
7 Now therefore stand still, that I may
reason with you before hwhy of all the
righteous acts of hwhy, which he did to
you and to your ahvot (fathers).
8 When Ya’acob (Jacob) came into
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and your ahvot (fathers)
cried to hwhy, then hwhy sent Musa
(Moses) and Aharon, which brought forth
your ahvot (fathers) out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and made them dwell in this place.
9 And when they forgot hwhy their
Elohim, he sold them into the hand of
Sisera, commander of the army of Khatzor
(Hazor), and into the hand of the Plushtim
(Philistines), and into the hand of the king
of Moab, and they fought against them.
10 And they cried to hwhy, and said, We
have sinned, because we have forsaken
hwhy, and have served Baalim and

Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the
hand of our enemies, and we will serve
you.
11 And hwhy sent Yerubbaal,2 and
Bedan, and Yah’ftah (Jephthah), and
Shemu’el (Samuel), and delivered you out
of the hand of your enemies on every side,
and you dwelled safe.
12 And when you saw that Nahash the
king of the children of Ammon came
against you, you said to me, No; but a king
shall reign over us: when hwhy your
Elohim was your king.
13 Now therefore behold the king whom
you have chosen, and whom you have
desired! And, behold, hwhy has set a king
over you.
14 If you will fear hwhy, and serve him,
and obey3 his voice, and not rebel against
the commandment of hwhy, then shall
both you and also the king that reigns over
you continue following hwhy your Elohim:
15 But if you will not obey the voice of
hwhy, but rebel against the commandment
of hwhy, then shall the hand of hwhy be
against you, as it was against your ahvot
(fathers).
16 Now therefore stand and see this
great thing, which hwhy will do before your
eyes.
17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call
to hwhy, and he shall send thunder and
rain; that you may perceive and see that
your wickedness is great, which you have
done in the sight of hwhy, in asking you a
king.
18 So Shemu’el (Samuel) called to hwhy;
and hwhy sent thunder and rain that day:
and all the people greatly feared hwhy and
Shemu’el (Samuel).4
2 Also known as Gideon.
3 Obey His Torah, which many Christians are not
doing at all and are failing to obey Him just like
Israel in the past.
4 Why ask for ‘thunder and rain?’ This is because
they were following after Baal who was supposed to
be the creator of thunder and rain and Samuel
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
19 And all the people said to Shemu’el
(Samuel), Pray for your servants to hwhy
your Elohim that we die not: for we have
added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a
king.
20 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to the
people, Fear not: you have done all this
wickedness: yet turn not aside from
following hwhy, but serve hwhy with all
your heart;
21 And turn not aside: for then should
you go after vain things, which cannot
profit nor deliver; for they are vain. 1 that Sha’ul had smitten a garrison of the

for his great name's sake: because it has
pleased hwhy to make you his people.2

I should sin against hwhy in ceasing to
pray for you: but I will teach you the good
and the right way:3
24 Only fear hwhy, and serve him in truth

shall be consumed, both you and your
king.4

1 Sha’ul reigned one year; and when he
had reigned two years over Yah’sar’el

and in Mount Beyth’el, and a thousand
were with Yahunathan (Jonathan) in
Gibeah of Benyamin (Benjamin): and the
rest of the people he sent every man to his
tent.
3 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) smote the
garrison of the Plushtim (Philistines) that
was in Geba, and the Plushtim (Philistines)
heard of it. And Sha’ul blew the shofar
throughout all the land, saying, Let the
Abrahuans (Hebrews) hear.
4 And all Yah’sar’el (Israel) heard say
Plushtim (Philistines), and that Yah’sar’el
(Israel) also was had in abomination with
the Plushtim (Philistines). And the people
were called together after Sha’ul to Gilgal.
5 And the Plushtim (Philistines) gathered
themselves together to fight with Yah’sar’el
(Israel), thirty thousand chariots, and six
thousand horsemen, and people as the
sand which is on the sea shore in
multitude: and they came up, and pitched
in Michmash, eastward from Beyth-Awen.
6 When the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
saw that they were in a trouble, for the
people were distressed, then the people
did hide themselves in caves, and in thorny
bushes, and in rocks, and in high places,
and in pits.
7 And some of the Abrahuans (Hebrews)
went over Yardan (Jordan) to the land of
Gawd and Gilead. As for Sha’ul, he was
yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed
him trembling.
8 And he waited seven days, according to
the set time that Shemu’el (Samuel) had
appointed: but Shemu’el (Samuel) came
not to Gilgal; and the people were
scattered from him.
9 And Sha’ul said, Bring here a burnt
offering to me, and shalom (peace)
offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
10 And it came to pass, that as soon as
he had made an end of offering the burnt
offering, behold, Shemu’el (Samuel) came;
and Sha’ul went out to meet him, that he
might greet him.
11 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said, What
have you done? And Sha’ul said, Because
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
I saw that the people were scattered from
me, and that you did not come within the
days appointed, and that the Plushtim
(Philistines) gathered themselves together
at Michmash;
12 Therefore I said, The Plushtim
(Philistines) will come down now upon me
to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication
to hwhy: I forced myself therefore, and
offered a burnt offering.
13 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to Sha’ul,
You have done foolishly: you have not kept
the commandment of hwhy your Elohim,
which he commanded you: for now would
hwhy have established your kingdom upon
Yah’sar’el (Israel) forever.1
14 But now your kingdom shall not
continue: hwhy has sought him a man
after his own heart, and hwhy has
commanded him to be leader over his
people, because you have not kept that
which hwhy commanded you. 2 23 And the garrison of the Plushtim
15 And Shemu’el (Samuel) arose, and
went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benyamin
(Benjamin). And Sha’ul numbered the
people that were present with him, about
six hundred men.
16 And Sha’ul, and Yahunathan
(Jonathan) his son, and the people that
were present with them, abode in Gibeah
of Benyamin (Benjamin): but the Plushtim
(Philistines) encamped in Michmash.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp
of the Plushtim (Philistines) in three
companies: one company turned to the
way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of
Shual:
18 And another company turned the way
to Beyth-horon: and another company
turned to the way of the border that looks
to the valley of Zeboim toward the

sacrifice; this function is reserved only to the Levites
and not to any other tribe of Israel.

took to remove the kingdom, now it would only be a
matter of time before he would be removed.
wilderness.
19 Now there was no blacksmith found
throughout all the land of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): for the Plushtim (Philistines) said,
Lest the Abrahuans (Hebrews) make them
swords or spears:
20 But all the Israelites went down to the
Plushtim (Philistines), to sharpen every
man his ploughshare, and his sickle, and
his axe, and his mattock.
21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks,
and for the sickle, and for the forks, and for
the axes, and to sharpen the points on the
goads.3
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle,
that there was neither sword nor spear
found in the hand of any of the people that
were with Sha’ul and Yahunathan
(Jonathan): but with Sha’ul and with
Yahunathan (Jonathan) his son was there
found.
(Philistines) went out to the passage of
Michmash.
Chapter 14
1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that
Yahunathan (Jonathan) the son of Sha’ul
said to the young man that bare his
armour, Come, and let us go over to the
Plushtim (Philistines)' garrison, that is on
the other side. But he did not tell his father.
2 And Sha’ul waited in the uttermost part
of Gibeah under a pomegranate etz (tree)
which is in Migron: and the people that
were with him were about six hundred
men;
3 And Akhi’yah, the son of Akhitub,
Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the
son of Eli, hwhy's kohen (priest) in Shiloh,

right to defend with reasonable force that means

wearing an ephod. And the people knew
not that Yahunathan (Jonathan) was gone.
4 And between the passages, by which
Yahunathan (Jonathan) sought to go over
to the Plushtim (Philistines)' garrison, there
was a sharp rock on the one side, and a
sharp rock on the other side: and the name
of the one was Bozez, and the name of the
other Seneh.
5 The forefront of the one was situated
northward over against Michmash, and the
other southward over against Gibeah.
6 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) said to the
young man that bare his armour, Come,
and let us go over to the garrison of these
uncircumcised: it may be that hwhy will
work for us: for there is no restraint to
hwhy to save by many or by few.
7 And his armour bearer said to him, Do
all that is in your heart: incline yourself;
behold, I am with you according to your
heart.
8 Then said Yahunathan (Jonathan),
Behold, we will pass over to these men,
and show ourselves to them.
9 If they say thus to us, stay until we
come to you; then we will stand still in our
place, and will not go up to them.
10 But if they say thus, Come up to us;
then we will go up: for hwhy has delivered
them into our hand: and this shall be a sign
to us.
11 And both of them discovered
themselves to the garrison of the Plushtim
(Philistines): and the Plushtim (Philistines)
said, Behold, the Abrahuans (Hebrews)
come forth out of the holes where they had
hid themselves.
12 And the men of the garrison answered
Yahunathan (Jonathan) and his armour
bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we
will show you a thing. And Yahunathan
(Jonathan) said to his armour bearer,
Come up after me: for hwhy has delivered
them into the hand of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
13 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) climbed
up upon his hands and upon his feet, and
his armour bearer after him: and
Yahunathan (Jonathan) struck the Plushtim
(Philistines); and his armour bearer slew
503
after him.
14 And that first slaughter, which
Yahunathan (Jonathan) and his armour
bearer made, was about twenty men,
within as it were a half acre of land, which
a yoke of oxen might plow.
15 And there was trembling in the army,
in the field, and among all the people: the
garrison, and the spoilers, they also
trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a
very great trembling.
16 And the watchmen of Sha’ul in Gibeah
of Benyamin (Benjamin) looked; and,
behold, the multitude melted away, and
they went on beating down one another.
17 Then said Sha’ul to the people that
were with him, Number now, and see who
is gone from us. And when they had
numbered, behold, Yahunathan (Jonathan)
and his armour bearer were not there.
18 And Sha’ul said to Akhi’yah, Bring
here the ark of Elohim. For the ark of
Elohim was at that time with the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
19 And it came to pass, while Sha’ul
talked to the kohen (priest), that the noise
that was in the host of the Plushtim
(Philistines) went on and increased: and
Sha’ul said to the kohen (priest), Withdraw
your hand.
20 And Sha’ul and all the people that
were with him assembled themselves, and
they came to the battle: and, behold, every
man's sword was against his fellow, and
there was a very great confusion.
21 Moreover the Abrahuans (Hebrews)
that were with the Plushtim (Philistines)
before that time, which went up with them
into the camp from the country roundabout,
even they also turned to be with the
Israelites that were with Sha’ul and
Yahunathan (Jonathan).
22 Likewise all the men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) which had hid themselves in Mount
Ephraim, when they heard that the
Plushtim (Philistines) fled, even they also
followed hard after them in the battle.
23 So hwhy saved Yah’sar’el (Israel) that
day: and the battle passed over to Beyth-
Awen.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
24 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
were distressed that day: for Sha’ul had
adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the
man that eats any food until evening, that I
may be avenged on my enemies. So none
of the people tasted any food.
25 And all they of the land came to a
forest; and there was honey upon the
ground.
26 And when the people were come into
the woods, behold, the honey dropped; but
no man put his hand to his mouth: for the
people feared the oath.
27 But Yahunathan (Jonathan) heard not
when his father charged the people with
the oath: Therefore he put forth the end of
the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it
in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his
mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
28 Then answered one of the people, and
said, Your father strictly charged the
people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the
man that eats any food this day. And the
people were weary.
29 Then said Yahunathan (Jonathan), My
father has troubled the land: see, I pray
you, how my eyes have been enlightened,
because I tasted a little of this honey.
30 How much more, if the people had
eaten freely today of the spoil of their
enemies which they found? For had there
not been now a much greater slaughter
among the Plushtim (Philistines)?
31 And they smote the Plushtim
(Philistines) that day from Michmash to
Aiyalon: and the people were very weary.
32 And the people flew upon the spoil,
and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and
slew them on the ground: and the people
did eat them with the blood.1
33 Then they told Sha’ul, saying, Behold,
the people sin against hwhy, in that they
eat with the blood. And he said, You have
transgressed: roll a great stone to me this
1 Israel once again forgot that they should not eat
the kosher animals with the blood sinning against
YHWH.

day.
34 And Sha’ul said, Disperse yourselves
among the people, and say to them, Bring
me here every man his ox, and every man
his sheep, and slay them here, and eat;
and sin not against hwhy in eating with the
blood. And all the people brought every
man his ox with him that night, and slew
them there.
35 And Sha’ul built an altar to hwhy: the
same was the first altar that he built to
hwhy.
36 And Sha’ul said, Let us go down after
the Plushtim (Philistines) by night, and
spoil them until the morning light, and let
us not leave a man of them. And they said,
Do whatsoever seems good to you. Then
said the kohen (priest), Let us draw near
here to Elohim.
37 And Sha’ul asked counsel of Elohim,
Shall I go down after the Plushtim
(Philistines)? Will you deliver them into the
hand of Yah’sar’el (Israel)? But he
answered him not that day.
38 And Sha’ul said, Draw near here, all
the chief of the people: and know and see
wherein this sin has been this day.
39 For, as hwhy lives, which saves
Yah’sar’el (Israel), though it be in
Yahunathan (Jonathan) my son, he shall
surely die. But there was not a man among
all the people that answered him.
40 Then said he to all Yah’sar’el (Israel),
Be you on one side, and I and Yahunathan
(Jonathan) my son will be on the other
side. And the people said to Sha’ul, Do
what seems good to you.
41 The Sha'ul said, 'O hwhy Elohim of
Yah'sar'el (Israel). If this sin has been
committed by me or by my son
Yahunathan (Jonathan), then, O hwhy
Elohim of Yah'sar'el (Israel), respond with
the Urim. However, if this sin has been
committed by your people Yah'sar'el
(Israel), then respond with the Thummim.
Then Yahunathan (Jonathan) and Sha'ul
were revealed by the lot, while the army
was exonerated.
42 And Sha’ul said, Cast lots between me
and Yahunathan (Jonathan) my son. And
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
Yahunathan (Jonathan) was taken.
43 Then Sha’ul said to Yahunathan
(Jonathan), Tell me what you have done.
And Yahunathan (Jonathan) told him, and
said, I did taste a little honey with the end
of the rod that was in my hand. I must die.
44 And Sha’ul answered, Elohim do so
and more also: for you shall surely die,
Yahunathan (Jonathan).
45 And the people said to Sha’ul, Shall
Yahunathan (Jonathan) die, who has
wrought this great deliverance in Yah’sar’el
(Israel)? Elohim forbid: as hwhy lives,
there shall not one hair of his head fall to
the ground; for he has wrought with Elohim
this day. So the people rescued
Yahunathan (Jonathan), that he died not.
46 Then Sha’ul went up from following
the Plushtim (Philistines): and the Plushtim
(Philistines) went to their own place.
47 So Sha’ul took the kingdom over
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and fought against all
his enemies on every side, against Moab,
and against the children of Ammon, and
against Edom, and against the kings of
Zobah, and against the Plushtim
(Philistines): and wherever he turned, he
was victorious.
48 And he gathered an army, and smote
the Amalekites, and delivered Yah’sar’el
(Israel) out of the hands of them that
spoiled them.
49 Now the sons of Sha’ul were
Yahunathan (Jonathan), and Ishui, and
Melchishua: and the names of his two
daughters were these; the name of the
firstborn Merab, and the name of the
younger Michal:
50 And the name of Sha’ul's wife was
Ahinoam, the daughter of Achimaaz: and
the name of the commander of his army
was Abner, the son of Ner, Sha’ul's uncle.
51 And Kish was the father of Sha’ul; and
Ner the father of Abner was the son of
Abi’el.
52 And there was fierce war against the
Plushtim (Philistines) all the days of Sha’ul:
and when Sha’ul saw any strong man, or
any valiant man, he took him to him.

Chapter 15
1 Shemu’el (Samuel) also said to Sha’ul,
hwhy sent me to anoint you to be king over
his people, over Yah’sar’el (Israel): now
therefore hearken to the voice of the words
of hwhy.
2 Thus says hwhy of hosts, I remember
that which Amalek did to Yah’sar’el (Israel),
how he laid wait for him in the way, when
he came up from Mitzrayim (Egypt).
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly
destroy all that they have, and spare them
not; but slay both man and woman, infant
and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and
donkey.
4 And Sha’ul gathered the people
together, and numbered them in Telaim,
two hundred thousand footmen, and ten
thousand men of Yahudah (Judah).
5 And Sha’ul came to a city of Amalek,
and laid wait in the valley.
6 And Sha’ul said to the Kenites, Go,
depart, get you down from among the
Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them:
for you showed kindness to all the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), when they came up
out of Mitzrayim (Egypt). So the Kenites
departed from among the Amalekites.
7 And Sha’ul smote the Amalekites from
Chavilah until you come to Shur that is
over against Mitzrayim (Egypt).1
8 And he took Agag the king of the
Amalekites2 alive, and utterly destroyed all
the people with the edge of the sword.
9 But Sha’ul and the people spared Agag,
and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen,
and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all
that was good, and would not utterly

2 King Agag was an Amalekite who was from the
descendant of Esav (First Chro 1:36), Haman was
also a descendant of Agag, the king of the
Amalekites.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
destroy them: but everything that was vile
and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10 Then came the word of hwhy to
Shemu’el (Samuel), saying,
11 It grieves me that I have set up Sha’ul
to be king: for he is turned back from
following me, and has not performed my
commandments. And it grieved Shemu’el
(Samuel); and he cried to hwhy all night.
12 And when Shemu’el (Samuel) rose
early to meet Sha’ul in the morning, it was
told Shemu’el (Samuel), saying, Sha’ul
came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him
up a place, and is gone about, and passed
on, and gone down to Gilgal.
13 And Shemu’el (Samuel) came to
Sha’ul: and Sha’ul said to him, Blessed be
you of hwhy: I have performed the
commandment of hwhy.
14 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said, What
means then this bleating of the sheep in
my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I
hear?
15 And Sha’ul said, They have brought
them from the Amalekites: for the people
spared the best of the sheep and of the
oxen, to sacrifice to hwhy your Elohim; and
the rest we have utterly destroyed.
16 Then Shemu’el (Samuel) said to
Sha’ul, Stay, and I will tell you what hwhy
has said to me this night. And he said to
him, Say on.
17 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said, When
you were little in your own sight, were you
not made the head of the tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and hwhy anointed you
king over Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
18 And hwhy sent you on a journey, and
said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the
Amalekites, and fight against them until
they be consumed.
19 Why then did you not obey the voice
of hwhy, but did fly upon the spoil, and did
evil in the sight of hwhy?
20 And Sha’ul said to Shemu’el (Samuel),
Yes, I have obeyed the voice of hwhy, and
have gone the way which hwhy sent me,
and have brought Agag the king of Amalek,
and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep
506
and oxen, the chief of the things which
should have been utterly destroyed, to
sacrifice to hwhy your Elohim in Gilgal.
22 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said, Has
hwhy as great delight in burnt offerings
and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of
the hwhy?1 Behold, to obey is better than
sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of
rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
and stubbornness is as iniquity and
idolatry. Because you have rejected the
word of hwhy, he has also rejected you
from being king.2
24 And Sha’ul said to Shemu’el (Samuel),
I have sinned: for I have transgressed the
commandment of hwhy, and your words:
because I feared the people, and obeyed
their voice.3
25 Now therefore, I pray you, pardon my
sin, and turn again with me, that I may
worship hwhy.
26 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to Sha’ul,
I will not return with you: for you have
rejected the word of hwhy, and hwhy has
rejected you from being king over
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
27 And as Shemu’el (Samuel) turned
about to go away, he laid hold upon the
edge of his robe, and it tore.
28 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to him,
hwhy has tore the kingdom of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) from you this day, and has given it
to a neighbour of your, that is better than
you.
1 To obey His Torah to listen to what YHWH says is
better than sacrifice. This does not negate the fact
that sacrifices are least but YHWH was not
interested in the animals being used for sacrifices
but to have his words fulfilled but Sha’ul did not
obey YHWH and then looked for excuses.
2 This was the second mark against King Sha’ul after
the incident in 1 Samuel 13:14.
3 This is what most of the Pastors are doing, not
fearing YHWH to obey His Torah which they reject
because they fear the people and their corrupt
leaders who are stubborn to obey YHWH.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
29 And also the Strength1 of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) will not lie nor repent: for he is not a
man that he should repent.
30 Then he said, I have sinned: yet
honour me now, I pray you, before the
elders of my people, and before Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and turn again with me, that I may
worship hwhy your Elohim.
31 So Shemu’el (Samuel) turned again
after Sha’ul; and Sha’ul worshipped hwhy.
32 Then said Shemu’el (Samuel), Bring
here to me Agag the king of the
Amalekites. And Agag came to him
trembling. And Agag said, Surely death is
bitterness.2
33 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said, As your
sword has made women childless, so shall
your mother be childless among women.
And Shemu’el (Samuel) cut Agag in pieces
before hwhy in Gilgal.
34 Then Shemu’el (Samuel) went to
Ramah; and Sha’ul went up to his house to
Gibeah of Sha’ul.
35 And Shemu’el (Samuel) came no
more to see Sha’ul until the day of his
death: nevertheless Shemu’el (Samuel)
mourned for Sha’ul: and hwhy grieved that
he had made Sha’ul king over Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
Chapter 16
1 And hwhy said to Shemu’el (Samuel),
How long will you mourn for Sha’ul, seeing
I have rejected him from reigning over
Yah’sar’el (Israel)? Fill your horn with oil,
and go, I will send you to Yishai (Jesse)
the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a
king among his sons.
2 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said, How can I
go? If Sha’ul hears it, he will kill me. And
hwhy said, Take a heifer with you, and

say, I have come to sacrifice to hwhy.
3 And call Yishai (Jesse) to the sacrifice,
and I will show you what you shall do: and
you shall anoint to me him whom I name to
you.
4 And Shemu’el (Samuel) did that which
hwhy spoke, and came to Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem). And the elders of the town
trembled at his coming, and said, Do you
come in shalom (peace)?
5 And he said, peaceably: I am come to
sacrifice to hwhy: sanctify yourselves, and
come with me to the sacrifice. And he
sanctified Yishai (Jesse) and his sons, and
called them to the sacrifice.
6 And it came to pass, when they were
come, that he looked on Eliab, and said,
Surely hwhy's anointed is before him.
7 But hwhy said to Shemu’el (Samuel),
Look not on his countenance, or on the
height of his stature; because I have
refused him: for hwhy sees not as man
sees; for man looks on the outward
appearance, but hwhy looks on the heart.
8 Then Yishai (Jesse) called Abinadab,
and made him pass before Shemu’el
(Samuel). And he said, Neither has hwhy
chosen him.
9 Then Yishai (Jesse) made Shammah to
pass by. And he said, Neither has hwhy
chosen him.
10 Again, Yishai (Jesse) made seven of
his sons to pass before Shemu’el
(Samuel). And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to
Yishai (Jesse), hwhy has not chosen
these.
11 And Shemu’el (Samuel) said to Yishai
(Jesse), Are here all your children? And he
said, There remains yet the youngest, and,
behold, he is tending the sheep. And
Shemu’el (Samuel) said to Yishai (Jesse),
Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down
till he come here.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now
he was ruddy, and of a beautiful

rehearsed them before Sha’ul: and he sent
for him.
32 And Dawud (David) said to Sha’ul, Let
no man's heart fail because of him; your
servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 And Sha’ul said to Dawud (David),
You are not able to go against this
Philistine to fight with him: for you are a
youth, and he is a man of war from his
youth.
34 And Dawud (David) said to Sha’ul,
Your servant kept his father's sheep, and if
there came a lion, and a bear, and took a
lamb out of the flock:

him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and

37 Dawud (David) said moreover, hwhy
that delivered me out of the paw of the lion,
and out of the paw of the bear, he will
deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.
And Sha’ul said to Dawud (David), Go, and
hwhy be with you.
38 And Sha’ul armed Dawud (David) with
his armour, and he put a helmet of brass
upon his head; also he armed him with a
coat of mail.
39 And Dawud (David) girded his sword
his armour, and he assayed to go; for
he had not tested it. And Dawud (David)
said to Sha’ul, I cannot go with these; for I
have not tested them. And Dawud (David)
put them off him.
40 And he took his staff2 in his hand, and
chose him five smooth stones out of the
brook,3 and put them in a shepherd's bag
which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling
was in his hand: and he drew near to the
Philistine.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew
near to Dawud (David); and the man that
bare the shield went before him.
42 And when the Philistine looked about,
and saw Dawud (David), he disdained him:
for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a
fair countenance.
43 And the Philistine said to Dawud
(David), Am I a dog that you come to me
with sticks? And the Philistine cursed
Dawud (David) by his mighty ones.
44 And the Philistine said to Dawud
(David), Come to me, and I will give your

46 This day will hwhy deliver you into my
hand; and I will smite you, and take your
head from you; and I will give the
carcasses of the armies of the Plushtim
(Philistines) this day to the fowls of the air,
and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all
the earth may know that there is a Elohim
in Yah’sar’el (Israel).2
47 And all this assembly shall know that
hwhy saves not with sword and spear: for

48 And it came to pass, when the
Philistine arose, and came and drew near
to meet Dawud (David), that Dawud
(David) hurried, and ran toward the army to
meet the Philistine.
49 And Dawud (David) put his hand in his
bag, and took there a stone, and slung it,
and smote the Philistine in his forehead
that the stone sunk into his forehead; and
he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So Dawud (David) prevailed over the
Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and
smote the Philistine, and slew him; but
there was no sword in the hand of Dawud
(David).
51 Therefore Dawud (David) ran, and
stood upon the Philistine, and took his
sword, and drew it out of the sheath
thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head
therewith. And when the Plushtim
(Philistines) saw their champion was dead,
they fled.3

the church world slumber and do not know even
10% of the truth of this.
2 What an incredible faith statement by a young
man who is standing at all odds with a mighty
warrior a champion of the Philistines. King David was
incredibly courageous and very faithful.
3 Psalm 151 which is missing in most Bibles tells us
exactly this detail. This is a drash (allegory) of the
end-times Islamic beast which will come up against
Israel and will be crushed by YHWH.
52 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and
of Yahudah (Judah) arose, and shouted,
and pursued the Plushtim (Philistines), until
you come to the valley, and to the gates of
Ekron. And the wounded of the Plushtim
(Philistines) fell down by the way to
Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
53 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
returned from chasing after the Plushtim
(Philistines), and they spoiled their tents.
54 And Dawud (David) took the head of
the Philistine, and brought it to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem);4 but he put his
armour in his tent.
55 And when Sha’ul saw Dawud (David)
go forth against the Philistine, he said to
Abner, the commander of the host, Abner,
whose son is this youth? And Abner said,
As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell.
56 And the king said, Enquire whose son
the young man is.
57 And as Dawud (David) returned from
the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took
him, and brought him before Sha’ul with
the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58 And Sha’ul said to him, Whose son
are you young man? And Dawud (David)
answered; I am the son of your servant
Yishai (Jesse) the Bethlehemite.

1 And it came to pass, when he had
made an end of speaking to Sha’ul that the
soul of Yahunathan (Jonathan) was knit
with the soul of Dawud (David), and
Yahunathan (Jonathan) loved him as his

2 And Sha’ul took him that day, and
would let him go no more home to his

himself of the robe that was upon him, and
gave it to Dawud (David), and his
garments, even to his sword, and to his
bow, and to his girdle.
5 And Dawud (David) went out wherever
Sha’ul sent him, and behaved himself
wisely: and Sha’ul set him over the men of
war, and he was accepted in the sight of all
the people, and also in the sight of Sha’ul's
servants.
6 And it came to pass as they came,
when Dawud (David) was returned from
the slaughter of the Philistine, that the
women came out of all cities of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), singing and dancing, to meet king
Sha’ul, with tambourines, with joy, and with
instruments of music.
7 And the women answered one another
as they played, and said, Sha’ul has slain
his thousands, and Dawud (David) his ten
thousands.
1
8 And Sha’ul was very angry, and the
saying displeased him; and he said, They
have ascribed to Dawud (David) ten
thousands, and to me they have ascribed
but thousands: and what can he have more
but the kingdom?
9 And Sha’ul kept an eye on Dawud
(David) from that day forward.
10 And it came to pass on the day after,
that the evil ruach (spirit) from Elohim
came upon Sha’ul, and he prophesied in
the midst of the house: and Dawud (David)
played with his hand, as at other times:
and there was a javelin in Sha’ul's hand.
11 And Sha’ul cast the javelin; for he
said, I will smite Dawud (David) even to the
wall with it. And Dawud (David) avoided
out of his presence twice.
12 And Sha’ul was afraid of Dawud
(David), because hwhy was with him, and
was departed from Sha’ul.
1 The spirit of jealousy came upon Sha’ul.
512
13 Therefore Sha’ul removed him from
him, and made him his commander over a
thousand; and he went out and came in
before the people.
14 And Dawud (David) behaved himself
wisely in all his ways; and hwhy was with
him.
15 Therefore when Sha’ul saw that he
behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid
of him.
16 But all Yah’sar’el (Israel) and Yahudah
(Judah) loved Dawud (David), because he
went out to battle and brought them back.
17 And Sha’ul said to Dawud (David),
Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I
give you for wife: only be valiant for me,
and fight hwhy's battles. For Sha’ul said,
Let not my hand be upon him, but let the
hand of the Plushtim (Philistines) be upon
him.
18 And Dawud (David) said to Sha’ul,
Who am I? And what is my life, or my
father's family in Yah’sar’el (Israel), that I
should be son in law to the king?
19 But it came to pass at the time when
Merab Sha’ul's daughter should have been
given to Dawud (David), that she was
given to Adri’el the Meholathite to wife.
20 And Michal Sha’ul's daughter loved
Dawud (David): and they told Sha’ul, and
the thing pleased him.
21 And Sha’ul said, I will give her to him,
that she may be a snare to him, and that
the hand of the Plushtim (Philistines) may
be against him. Therefore Sha’ul said to
Dawud (David), today is the second time
you shall be my son in law.
22 And Sha’ul commanded his servants,
saying, talk with Dawud (David) secretly,
and say, Behold, the king has delight in
you, and all his servants love you: now
therefore be the king's son in law.
23 And Sha’ul's servants spoke those
words in the ears of Dawud (David). And
Dawud (David) said, Seems it to you a light
thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
am a poor man, and despised?1
24 And the servants of Sha’ul told him,
saying, on this manner spoke Dawud
(David).
25 And Sha’ul said, Thus shall you say to
Dawud (David), The king desires no dowry,
but an hundred foreskins of the Plushtim
(Philistines), to be avenged of the king's
enemies. But Sha’ul thought to make
Dawud (David) fall by the hand of the
Plushtim (Philistines).
26 And when his servants told Dawud
(David) these words, it pleased Dawud
(David) well to be the king's son in law: and
the specified time had not yet expired.
27 Therefore Dawud (David) arose and
went, he and his men, and slew of the
Plushtim (Philistines) two hundred men;
and Dawud (David) brought their foreskins,
and they gave them in full to the king, that
he might be the king's son in law. And
Sha’ul gave him Michal his daughter to
wife.
28 And Sha’ul saw and knew that hwhy
was with Dawud (David), and that Michal
Sha’ul's daughter loved him.2
29 And Sha’ul was yet the more afraid of
Dawud (David); and Sha’ul became Dawud
(David)'s enemy continually.
30 Then the princes of the Plushtim
(Philistines) went forth: and it came to
pass, after they went forth, that Dawud
(David) behaved himself more wisely than
all the servants of Sha’ul; so that his name
was held in high esteem.
Chapter 19
1 And Sha’ul spoke to Yahunathan
(Jonathan) his son, and to all his servants,
that they should kill Dawud (David).
2 But Yahunathan (Jonathan) Sha’ul's
son delighted much in Dawud (David): and
1 David belonged to a very important family and his
father was rich but he was despised, see footnotes
in Psalm 69.
2 Sha’ul gave him his daughter begrudgingly not
with love and only to trap him further.
Yahunathan (Jonathan) told Dawud
(David), saying, Sha’ul my father seeks to
kill you: now therefore, I pray you, take
heed to yourself until the morning, and
abide in a secret place, and hide yourself:
3 And I will go out and stand beside my
father in the field where you are, and I will
talk with my father about you; and what I
see, that I will tell you.
4 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) spoke well
of Dawud (David) to Sha’ul his father, and
said to him, Let not the king sin against his
servant, against Dawud (David); because
he has not sinned against you, and
because his works have been to you very
good:
5 For he did put his life in his hand, and
slew the Philistine, and hwhy wrought a
great deliverance for all Yah’sar’el (Israel):
you saw it, and did rejoice: Therefore then
will you sin against innocent blood, to slay
Dawud (David) without a cause?
6 And Sha’ul hearkened to the voice of
Yahunathan (Jonathan): and Sha’ul swore,
As hwhy lives, he shall not be slain.
7 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) called
Dawud (David), and Yahunathan
(Jonathan) showed him all those things.
And Yahunathan (Jonathan) brought
Dawud (David) to Sha’ul, and he was in his
presence, as in times past.
8 And there was war again: and Dawud
(David) went out, and fought with the
Plushtim (Philistines), and slew them with a
great slaughter; and they fled from him.
9 And the evil ruach (spirit) from hwhy
was upon Sha’ul, as he sat in his house
with his javelin in his hand: and Dawud
(David) played with his hand.
10 And Sha’ul sought to smite Dawud
(David) even to the wall with the javelin;
but he slipped away out of Sha’ul's
presence, and he smote the javelin into the
wall: and Dawud (David) fled, and escaped
that night.3
3 Sha’ul made 21 attempts to kill David, but failed in
all. Just because Sha’ul was anointed initially by
513
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
11 Sha’ul also sent messengers to
Dawud (David)'s house, to watch him, and
to slay him in the morning: and Michal
Dawud (David)'s wife told him, saying, If
you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow
you shall be die.
12 So Michal let Dawud (David) down
through a window: and he went, and fled,
and escaped.
13 And Michal took an image, and laid it
in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair
for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
14 And when Sha’ul sent messengers to
take Dawud (David), she said, He is sick.
15 And Sha’ul sent the messengers again
to see Dawud (David), saying; Bring him
up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16 And when the messengers were come
in, behold, there was an image in the bed,
with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.
17 And Sha’ul said to Michal, Why have
you deceived me so, and sent away my
enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal
answered Sha’ul, He said to me, help me
get away; or I will kill you?
18 So Dawud (David) fled, and escaped,
and came to Shemu’el (Samuel) to Ramah,
and told him all that Sha’ul had done to
him. And he and Shemu’el (Samuel) went
and dwelt in Naioth.
19 And it was told Sha’ul, saying, Behold,
Dawud (David) is at Naioth in Ramah.
20 And Sha’ul sent messengers to take
Dawud (David): and when they saw the
company of the prophets prophesying, and
Shemu’el (Samuel) standing as appointed
over them, the Ruach (Spirit) of Elohim
was upon the messengers of Sha’ul, and
they also prophesied.
21 And when it was told Sha’ul, he sent
other messengers, and they prophesied
likewise. And Sha’ul sent messengers
again the third time, and they prophesied
also.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and
came to a great well that is in Seku: and he
YHWH does not mean he can go to kill another
anointed of YHWH.
514
asked and said, Where are Shemu’el
(Samuel) and Dawud (David)? And one
said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23 And he went there to Naioth in
Ramah: and the Ruach (Spirit) of Elohim
was upon him also, and he went on, and
prophesied, until he came to Naioth in
Ramah.
24 And he stripped off his clothes also,
and prophesied before Shemu’el (Samuel)
in like manner, and lay down naked all that
day and all that night. Therefore they say,
Is Sha’ul also among the prophets?
Chapter 20
1 And Dawud (David) fled from Naioth in
Ramah, and came and said before
Yahunathan (Jonathan), What have I
done? What is my offense? And what is my
sin before your father, that he seeks my
life?
2 And he said to him, Elohim forbid; you
shall not die: behold, my father will do
nothing either great or small, but that he
will show it me: and why should my father
hide this thing from me? It is not so.
3 And Dawud (David) swore moreover,
and said, Your father certainly knows that I
have found favour in your eyes; and he
says, Let not Yahunathan (Jonathan) know
this, lest he be grieved: but truly as hwhy
lives, and as your soul lives, there is one
step between me and death.
4 Then said Yahunathan (Jonathan) to
Dawud (David), Whatsoever your soul
desires, I will even do it for you.
5 And Dawud (David) said to Yahunathan
(Jonathan), Behold, tomorrow is the new
moon, and I am expected to sit with the
king at the table: but let me go, that I may
hide myself in the field to the third day until
evening.
6 If your father at all miss me, then say,
Dawud (David) earnestly asked leave of
me that he might run to Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem) his city: for there is a yearly
sacrifice there for all the family.
7 If he say thus, it is well; your servant
shall have shalom (peace): but if he be
very wroth, then be sure that evil is
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
determined by him.
8 Therefore you shall deal kindly with
your servant; for you have brought your
servant into a covenant of hwhy with you:
notwithstanding, if there be sin in me, kill
me yourself; for why bother taking me to
your father?
9 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) said, Far
be it from you: for if I knew certainly that
evil was determined by my father to come
upon you, and then would I not tell it you?
10 Then said Dawud (David) to
Yahunathan (Jonathan), Who shall tell me?
Or what if your father answers you
harshly?
11 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) said to
Dawud (David), Come, and let us go out
into the field. And they went out both of
them into the field.
12 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) said to
Dawud (David), O hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), I will feel out my father
about tomorrow this time, or the third day,
and, behold, if there be good toward
Dawud (David), will I not send not word to
you, and show it you;
13 hwhy do so and much more to
Yahunathan (Jonathan): but if it please my
father to do you evil, then I will show it you,
and send you away, that you may go in
shalom (peace): and hwhy be with you, as
he has been with my father.
14 And you shall not only while yet I live
show me the kindness of hwhy that I die
not:
15 But also you shall not cut off your
kindness from my house forever: no, not
when hwhy has cut off the enemies of
Dawud (David) everyone from the face of
the earth.
16 So Yahunathan (Jonathan) made a
covenant with the house of Dawud (David),
saying, Let hwhy even require it at the
hand of Dawud (David)'s enemies.
17 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) caused
Dawud (David) to swear again, because he
loved him: for he loved him as he loved his
own soul.
18 Then Yahunathan (Jonathan) said to
Dawud (David), tomorrow is the new moon:
515
and you shall be missed, because your
seat will be empty.
19 And when you have stayed three
days, then you shall go down quickly, and
come to the place where you did hide
yourself when the business was in hand,
and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the
side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying,
Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say
to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on the
side of you, take them; then you come: for
there is shalom (peace) for you, and no
hurt; as hwhy lives.
22 But if I say thus to the young man,
Behold, the arrows are on the other side of
you; go your way: for hwhy has sent you
away.
23 And concerning the matter which you
and I have spoken of, behold, hwhy is
between you and me forever.
24 So Dawud (David) hid himself in the
field: and when the new moon was come,
the king sat down to eat food.1
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at
other times, even upon a seat by the wall:
and Yahunathan (Jonathan) arose, and
Abner sat by Sha’ul's side, and Dawud
(David)'s place was empty.
26 Nevertheless Sha’ul did not speak
anything about it: for he thought, perhaps
he has had an accident, maybe he is not
ceremonially clean; surely he is not clean.
27 And it came to pass on the day after,
which was the second day of the month,
that Dawud (David)'s place was empty: and
Sha’ul said to Yahunathan (Jonathan) his
son, Why does the son of Yishai (Jesse)
not come to the meal, neither yesterday,
nor today?
28 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) answered
Sha’ul, Dawud (David) earnestly asked
leave of me to go to Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem):
1 The New Moon festival each month Biblically
commanded.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for
our family has a sacrifice in the city; and
my brother, he has commanded me to be
there: and now, if I have found favour in
your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and
see my brethren. This is why he is not here
at the king's table.
30 Then Sha’ul's anger was kindled
against Yahunathan (Jonathan), and he
said to him, You son of perverse rebellion,1
do I not know that you have chosen the
son of Yishai (Jesse) to your own
confusion, and to the confusion of your
mother's nakedness?
31 For as long as the son of Yishai
(Jesse) lives upon the ground, you shall
not be established, nor your kingdom.
Therefore now send and fetch him to me,
for he shall surely die.
32 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) answered
Sha’ul his father, and said to him, Why
should he be killed? What has he done?
33 And Sha’ul cast a javelin at him to kill
him: whereby Yahunathan (Jonathan)
knew that it was determined of his father to
kill Dawud (David).
34 So Yahunathan (Jonathan) arose from
the table in fierce anger, and did eat no
food the second day of the month: for he
was grieved for Dawud (David), because
his father had humiliated him.
35 And it came to pass in the morning
that Yahunathan (Jonathan) went out into
the field at the time appointed with Dawud
(David), and a little lad with him.
36 And he said to his lad, Run, find out
now the arrows which I shoot. And as the
lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 And when the lad was come to the
place of the arrow which Yahunathan
(Jonathan) had shot, Yahunathan
(Jonathan) cried after the lad, and said, is
1 This phrase would be in modern English softly as
you stupid traitor or in harshness it could be
rendered “you stupid son of a bitch” though a bit
hard but this is the thrust of the language being
used by King Sha’ul who hated King David.
516
not the arrow further beyond you?
38 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) cried
after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not.
And Yahunathan (Jonathan)'s lad gathered
up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 But the lad did not understand
anything: only Yahunathan (Jonathan) and
Dawud (David) knew the matter.
40 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) gave his
artillery to his lad, and said to him, Go,
carry them to the city.
41 And as soon as the lad was gone,
Dawud (David) arose out of a place toward
the south, and fell on his face to the
ground, and bowed himself three times:
and they kissed one another, and wept one
with another, until Dawud (David)
exceeded.
42 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) said to
Dawud (David), Go in shalom (peace),
forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in
the name of hwhy, saying, hwhy be
between me and you, and between my
seed and your seed forever. And he arose
and departed: and Yahunathan (Jonathan)
went into the city.
Chapter 21
1 Then came Dawud (David) to Nob to
Akhimelech the Kohen (priest): and
Akhimelech was afraid at the meeting of
Dawud (David), and said to him, Why are
you alone, and no man with you?
2 And Dawud (David) said to Akhimelech
the Kohen (priest), The king has
commanded me a business, and has said
to me, Let no man know anything of the
business whereabouts I send you, and
what I have commanded you: and I have
appointed my servants to such and such a
place.
3 Now therefore what is under your
hand? Give me five loaves of lechem
(bread) in my hand, or what there is
present.
4 And the Kohen (priest) answered
Dawud (David), and said, There is no
common lechem (bread) under my hand,
but there is consecrated lechem (bread); if
your soldiers have abstained themselves
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
from sexual relations with their wives.
5 And Dawud (David) answered the
Kohen (priest), and said to him, Of a truth
women have been kept from us about
these three days, since I came out, and the
vessels of the young men are Set-Apart,
and the lechem (bread) is in a manner
common, yes, though it were sanctified this
day in the vessel.
6 So the kohen (priest) gave him
consecrated lechem (bread): for there was
no lechem (bread) there but the
consecrated bread, that was taken from
before hwhy, to put hot lechem (bread) in
the day when it was taken away.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of
Sha’ul was there that day, detained before
hwhy; and his name was Doeg, an
Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen that
belonged to Sha’ul.
8 And Dawud (David) said to Akhimelech,
And is there not here under your hand a
spear or sword? For I have neither brought
my sword nor my weapons with me,
because the king's business required
haste.
9 And the Kohen (priest) said, The sword
of Golyath (Goliath) the Philistine, whom
you slew in the valley of Elah, behold, it is
here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod:
if you will take that, take it: for there is no
other but that one here. And Dawud
(David) said, There is none like it; give it to
me.
10 And Dawud (David) arose, and fled
that day for fear of Sha’ul, and went to
Akish the king of Gath.
11 And the servants of Akish said to him,
Is not this Dawud (David) the king of the
land? Did they not sing one to another of
him in dances, saying, Sha’ul has slain his
thousands, and Dawud (David) his ten
thousands?
12 And Dawud (David) laid up these
words in his heart, and was sore afraid of
Akish the king of Gath.
13 And he changed his behavior before
them, and pretended madness in their
hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the
gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his
517
beard.
14 Then said Akish to his servants, Lo,
you see the man is mad: Therefore then
have you brought him to me?
15 Have I need of mad men that you
have brought this fellow to play the mad
man in my presence? Shall this fellow
come into my house?
Chapter 22
1 Dawud (David) therefore departed
there, and escaped to the cave Adullam:
and when his brethren and all his father's
house heard it, they went down there to
him.
2 And all those that was in trouble, and all
of them that were in debt, and that were
discontented, gathered themselves to him;
and he became a leader over them: and
there were with him about four hundred
men.
3 And Dawud (David) went there to
Mizpeh of Moab: and he said to the king of
Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray
you, come forth, and be with you, till I know
what Elohim will do for me.
4 And he brought them before the king of
Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while
that Dawud (David) was in the fortified
place.1
5 And the prophet Gawd said to Dawud
(David), Abide not in the fortified place;
depart, and go to the land of Yahudah
(Judea). Then Dawud (David) departed,
and came into the forest of Hareth.
6 When Sha’ul heard that Dawud (David)
was discovered, and the men that were
with him, now Sha’ul abode in Gibeah
under an etz (tree) in Ramah, having his
spear in his hand, and all his servants were
standing about him;
7 Then Sha’ul said to his servants that
stood about him, Hear now, you
Benjamites; will the son of Yishai (Jesse)
give every one of you fields and vineyards,
1 The king of Moab killed King David’s parents and
most of his brothers.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
and make you all commanders of
thousands, and commanders of hundreds;
8 That all of you have conspired against
me, and there is none that reveals to me
that my son has made a covenant with the
son of Yishai (Jesse), and there is none of
you that is sorry for me, or reveals to me
that my son has stirred up my servant
against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite,
which was set over the servants of Sha’ul,
and said, I saw the son of Yishai (Jesse)
coming to Nob, to Akhimelech the son of
Akhitub.
10 And he enquired of hwhy for him, and
gave him provisions, and gave him the
sword of Golyath (Goliath) the Philistine.
11 Then the king sent to call Akhimelech
the Kohen (priest), the son of Akhitub, and
all his father's house, the kohenim (priests)
that were in Nob: and they came all of
them to the king.
12 And Sha’ul said, Hear now, you son of
Akhitub. And he answered, Here I am, my
master.
13 And Sha’ul said to him, Why have you
conspired against me, you and the son of
Yishai (Jesse), in that you have given him
lechem (bread), and a sword, and have
enquired of Elohim for him, that he should
rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this
day?
14 Then Akhimelech answered the king,
and said, And who is so faithful among all
your servants as Dawud (David), which is
the king's son in law, and goes at your
bidding, and is honorable in your house?
15 Did I then begin to enquire of Elohim
for him? Be it far from me: let not the king
accuse anything to his servant, nor to all
the house of my father: for your servant
knew nothing of all this, not in whole or in
part.
16 And the king said, You shall surely
die, Akhimelech, you, and all your father's
house.
17 And the king said to the footmen that
stood about him, Turn, and slay the
kohenim (priests) of hwhy; because their
hand also is with Dawud (David), and
518
because they knew when he fled, and did
not show it to me. But the servants of the
king would not put forth their hand to fall
upon the kohenim (priests) of the hwhy.1
18 And the king said to Doeg, you turn,
and fall upon the kohenim (priests). And
Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon
the kohenim (priests), and slew on that day
eighty-five persons that did wear a linen
ephod.2
19 And Nob, the city of the kohenim
(priests), smote he with the edge of the
sword, both men and women, children and
sucklings, and oxen, and donkeys, and
sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 And one of the sons of Akhimelech the
son of Akhitub, named Ebyathar, escaped,
and fled after Dawud (David).
21 And Ebyathar showed Dawud (David)
that Sha’ul had slain hwhy's kohenim
(priests).
22 And Dawud (David) said to Ebyathar, I
knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite
was there, that he would surely tell Sha’ul:
I am guilty of the death of all the persons of
your father's house.3
23 You abide with me, fear not: for he
that seeks my life seeks your life: but with
me you shall be in safe.
Chapter 23
1 Then they told Dawud (David), saying,
Behold, the Plushtim (Philistines) fight
against Keilah, and they rob the threshing
floors.
2 Therefore Dawud (David) enquired of
hwhy, saying, Shall I go and smite these
Plushtim (Philistines)? And hwhy said to
Dawud (David), Go, and smite the Plushtim
1This was a wise move by the footmen, the
messengers not to kill the priests of YHWH.
2 There is blood on the Edomite hands of YHWH’s
priests and prophets and YHWH will require that
blood. Today the Edomite nations are all Islamic,
major wars are prophesied concerning these nations.
3 King David was very humble, it was not his fault
yet he felt guilty for what happened.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
(Philistines), and save Keilah.
3 And Dawud (David)'s men said to him,
Behold, we be afraid here in Yahudah
(Judea): how much more then if we come
to Keilah against the armies of the
Plushtim (Philistines)?
4 Then Dawud (David) enquired of hwhy
yet again. And hwhy answered him and
said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will
deliver the Plushtim (Philistines) into your
hand.
5 So Dawud (David) and his men went to
Keilah, and fought with the Plushtim
(Philistines), and brought away their cattle,
and smote them with a great slaughter. So
Dawud (David) saved the inhabitants of
Keilah.
6 And it came to pass, when Ebyathar the
son of Akhimelech fled to Dawud (David) to
Keilah that he came down with an ephod in
his hand.
7 And it was told Sha’ul that Dawud
(David) was come to Keilah. And Sha’ul
said, Elohim has delivered him into my
hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a
town that has gates and bars.
8 And Sha’ul called all the people
together to war, to go down to Keilah, to
besiege Dawud (David) and his men.
9 And Dawud (David) knew that Sha’ul
secretly practiced mischief against him;
and he said to Ebyathar the kohen (priest),
Bring here the ephod.
10 Then said Dawud (David), O hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), your servant
has certainly heard that Sha’ul seeks to
come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my
sake.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up
into his hand? Will Sha’ul come down, as
your servant has heard? O hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), I beseech you, tell your
servant. And hwhy said, He will come
down.
12 Then said Dawud (David), Will the
men of Keilah deliver me and my men into
the hand of Sha’ul? And hwhy said, They
will deliver you up.
13 Then Dawud (David) and his men,
which were about six hundred, arose and
519
departed out of Keilah, and went wherever
they could go. And it was told Sha’ul that
Dawud (David) was escaped from Keilah;
and he ceased to go forth.
14 And Dawud (David) abode in the
wilderness in strongholds, and remained in
a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And
Sha’ul sought him every day, but Elohim
delivered him not into his hand.
15 And Dawud (David) saw that Sha’ul
was come out to seek his life: and Dawud
(David) was in the wilderness of Ziph in the
woods.
16 And Yahunathan (Jonathan) Sha’ul's
son arose, and went to Dawud (David) into
the woods, and strengthened his hand in
Elohim.
17 And he said to him, Fear not: for the
hand of Sha’ul my father shall not find you;
and you shall be king over Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and I shall be your second in
command; and that also Sha’ul my father
knows.
18 And the two made a covenant before
hwhy: and Dawud (David) abode in the
woods, and Yahunathan (Jonathan) went
to his house.
19 Then came up the Ziphites to Sha’ul to
Gibeah, saying, Does not Dawud (David)
hide himself with us in strongholds in the
woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on
the south of Yeshimon?
20 Now therefore, O king, come down
according to all the desire of your soul to
come down; and our part shall be to deliver
him into the king's hand.
21 And Sha’ul said, Blessed be you of
hwhy; for you have compassion on me.1
22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know
exactly where he is hiding, and who has
seen him there: for it has been reported to
me that he is very cunning.
1 Using YHWH’s name here was not going to help
King Sha’ul as he was disobedient to him and was
running out of time. The only reason he survived
until this time was because he would ask the
prophet Samuel to pray for him.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of
all the hiding places where he hides
himself, and then you come again to me
with certainty, and I will go with you: and it
shall come to pass, if he be in the land,
that I will search him out throughout all the
thousands1 of Yahudah (Judea).
24 And they arose, and went to Ziph
before Sha’ul: but Dawud (David) and his
men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the
plain on the south of Yeshimon.
25 Sha’ul also and his men went to seek
him. And they told Dawud (David):
Therefore he came down into a rock, and
abode in the wilderness of Maon. And
when Sha’ul heard that, he pursued after
Dawud (David) in the wilderness of Maon.
26 And Sha’ul went on this side of the
mountain, and Dawud (David) and his men
on the other side of the mountain: and
Dawud (David) made haste to get away for
fear of Sha’ul; for Sha’ul and his men
surrounded Dawud (David) and his men
roundabout to take them.
27 But there came a messenger to
Sha’ul, saying, you hurry, and come; for
the Plushtim (Philistines) have invaded the
land.
28 Therefore Sha’ul returned from
pursuing after Dawud (David), and went
against the Plushtim (Philistines): therefore
they called that place Sela-Cham (Ham)
mahlekoth.2
29 And Dawud (David) went up from
there, and dwelt in strong holds at En-gedi.
Chapter 24
1 And it came to pass, when Sha’ul was
returned from following the Plushtim
(Philistines), that it was told him, saying,
Behold, Dawud (David) is in the wilderness
of En-gedi.
2 Then Sha’ul took three thousand
chosen men out of all Yah’sar’el (Israel),
1 today who try to bring down the righteous servants

and went to seek Dawud (David) and his
men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
3 And he came to the sheepfolds by the
way, where was a cave; and Sha’ul went in
to cover his feet:3 and Dawud (David) and
his men remained in the sides of the cave.
4 And the men of Dawud (David) said to
him, Behold the day of which hwhy said to
you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into
your hand that you may do to him as it
shall seem good to you. Then Dawud
(David) arose, and cut off the tzitzit of
Sha’ul's robe secretly.4
5 And it came to pass afterward, that
Dawud (David)'s heart smote him, because
he had cut off Sha’ul's edge of his robe.5
6 And he said to his men, hwhy forbid
that I should do this thing to my master,
hwhy's anointed, to stretch forth my hand
against him, seeing he is the anointed of
hwhy.6
7 So Dawud (David) commanded his
servants with these words, and permitted
them not to rise against Sha’ul. But Sha’ul
rose up out of the cave, and went on his
way.
8 Dawud (David) also arose afterward,
and went out of the cave, and called out
after Sha’ul, saying, My master the king.
And when Sha’ul looked behind him,
Dawud (David) stooped with his face to the
3 Idiomatic expression to mean to relieve himself as
in a bathroom.
4 King David cut the edge of the robe where a tzitzit
was attached. Cutting the tzitzit was a sign to show
King Sha’ul that he is good as dead but King David
spared him because he showed respect to YHWH
anointed even though he was a murderer a
complete Torah breaker. When Jewish people bury
their dead in Israel then one tzitzit is cut to show
death and the man is wrapped in his tallit and
buried, no coffin is used.

6 King David had more respect then many people
of YHWH, what a fine example by the King of Israel
of how to treat your enemies.

earth, and bowed himself.
9 And Dawud (David) said to Sha’ul,
Therefore hear you men's words, saying,
Behold, Dawud (David) seeks your hurt?
10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen
how that hwhy had delivered you this very
day into my hand in the cave: and some
told me kill you: but my eye spared you;
and I said, I will not put forth my hand
against my master; for he is hwhy's
anointed.
11 Look, my father, see, yes, see the
edge of your robe in my hand: for in that I
cut off the edge of your robe, and killed you
not, know that and see that there is neither
evil nor transgression in my hand, and I
have not sinned against you; yet you hunt
my down to kill me.1
12 hwhy judges between me and you,
and hwhy avenge me of you: but my hand
shall not be upon you.
13 As says the proverb of the ancients,
Wickedness proceeds from the wicked: but
my hand shall not be against you.
14 After who is the king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) come out? After whom do you
pursue? After a dead dog? After a single
flea.2
15 hwhy therefore be judge, and judge
between me and you, and see, and plead
my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.
16 And it came to pass, when Dawud
(David) had made an end of speaking
these words to Sha’ul that Sha’ul said, Is
this your voice, my son Dawud (David)?
And Sha’ul lifted up his voice, and wept.
17 And he said to Dawud (David), You
are more righteous than I: for you have
rewarded me well, whereas I have
rewarded you evil.
1 King David makes a point with the tzitzit he cut
off. See footnote First Samuel 24:4.
2 King David being humble puts himself down to
show what is he a single man, worthless hiding away
but in reality YHWH was with him and he was
putting himself down just to show King Sha’ul that
he was not after his life.
18 And you have showed this day how
that you have dealt well with me:
forasmuch as when hwhy had delivered
me into your hand, you did not kill me.
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he
let him escape? Therefore hwhy reward
you good for what you have done to me
this day.
20 And now, behold, I know well that you
shall surely be king, and that the kingdom
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall be established in
your hand.
21 Swear now therefore to me by hwhy,
that you will not cut off my seed after me,
and that you will not destroy my name out
of my father's house.
22 And Dawud (David) swore to Sha’ul.
And Sha’ul went home; but Dawud (David)
and his men went up to the stronghold.
Chapter 25
1 And Shemu’el (Samuel) died; and all
the Israelites were gathered together, and
lamented him, and buried him in his house
at Ramah. And Dawud (David) arose, and
went down to the wilderness of Paran.
2 And there was a man in Maon, whose
possessions were in Carmel; and the man
was very great, and he had three thousand
sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was
shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal;3
and the name of his wife Abigay’el:4 and
she was a woman of good understanding,
and of a beautiful countenance: but the
man was harsh and evil in his doings; and
he was of the house of Caleb.
4 And Dawud (David) heard in the
wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
5 And Dawud (David) sent out ten young
men, and Dawud (David) said to the young
men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal,
and greet him in my name:
3 His name means foolish or senseless, a man who
has no claim to anything and lives in his own
foolishness as many do today.
4 The meaning is my Father’s joy.
521
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
6 And thus shall you say to him that lives
in prosperity, Shalom (peace) be both to
you, and shalom (peace) be to your house,
and shalom (peace) be to all that you have.
7 And now I have heard that you have
shearers: now your shepherds who were
with us, we hurt them not, neither was
there ought missing to them, all the while
they were in Carmel.
8 Ask your young men, and they will
show you. Therefore let the young men
find favour in your eyes: for we come in a
good day: give, I pray you, whatsoever
comes to your hand to your servants, and
to your son Dawud (David).
9 And when Dawud (David)'s young men
came, they spoke to Nabal according to all
those words in the name of Dawud (David),
and ceased.
10 And Nabal answered Dawud (David)'s
servants, and said, Who is Dawud (David)?
And who is the son of Yishai (Jesse)?
There are many servants now a days that
break away every man from his master.
11 Shall I then take my lechem (bread),
and my mayim (water), and my meat that I
have slaughtered for my shearers, and
give it to men, who do not know where they
come from?
12 So Dawud (David)'s young men turned
their way, and went again, and came and
told him all those sayings.
13 And Dawud (David) said to his men,
Gird every man his sword. And they girded
on every man his sword; and Dawud
(David) also girded on his sword: and there
went up after Dawud (David) about four
hundred men; and two hundred abode by
the stuff.
14 But one of the young men told
Abigay’el, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold,
Dawud (David) sent messengers out of the
wilderness to send blessings on our
master; and he screamed at them.
15 But the men were very good to us,
and we were not hurt, neither had we lost
anything, as long as we were together with
them, when we were in the fields:
16 They were a protective wall to us both
by night and day; all the while we were with
522
them keeping the sheep.
17 Now therefore know and consider
what you will do; for evil is determined
against our master, and against all his
household: for he is such a son of
Beliyaal,1 which a man cannot speak to
him.
18 Then Abigay’el hurried, and took two
hundred loaves, and two containers2 of
wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and
five measures of parched corn, and a
hundred clusters of raisins, and two
hundred pressed figs, and laid them on
donkeys.
19 And she said to her servants, Go on
before me; behold, I come after you. But
she did not tell her husband Nabal.
20 And it was so, as she rode on the
donkey, that she came down by the cover
of the mountains, and, behold, Dawud
(David) and his men came down against
her; and she met them.
21 Now Dawud (David) had said, Surely
in vain have I guarded all that this fellow
has in the desert, so that nothing was
missed of all that belonged to him: and he
has repaid me evil for good.
22 So and more also do Elohim to the
enemies of Dawud (David), if I leave of all
that pertain to him by the morning light any
that pisses against the wall.3
23 And when Abigay’el saw Dawud
(David), she hurried, and came off the
donkey, and fell before Dawud (David) on
her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon
me, my master (adonai: Lord), upon me let
this iniquity be: and let your handmaid, I
pray you, speak in your audience, and hear
the words of your handmaid.
25 Let not my master, I pray you, regard
this man of Beliyaal, even Nabal: for as his
1 Son of wickedness

of wine.
3 Usual idiom for a dog but in this context for man.
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and
foolishness is with him: but I your
handmaid saw not the young men of my
master, whom you sent.
26 Now therefore, my master, as hwhy
lives, and as your soul lives, seeing hwhy
has withheld you from coming to shed
blood, and from avenging yourself with
your own hand, now let your enemies, and
they that seek evil to my master, be as
Nabal.
27 And now this blessing which your
handmaid has brought to my master, let it
even be given to the young men that follow
my master.
28 I pray you; forgive the trespass of your
handmaid: for hwhy will certainly make my
master a sure house; because my master
fights the battles of hwhy, and evil has not
been found in you all your days.
29 Yet a man is risen to pursue you, and
to seek your soul: but the soul of my
master shall be bound in the bundle of life
with hwhy your Elohim; and the souls of
your enemies, them shall he sling out, as
out of the middle of a sling.
30 And it shall come to pass, when hwhy
shall have done to my master according to
all the good that he has spoken concerning
you, and shall have appointed you ruler
over Yah’sar’el (Israel);
31 That this shall be no grief to you, nor
offence of heart to my master, either that
you have shed blood causeless, or that my
master has avenged himself: but when
hwhy shall have dealt well with my master,
and then remember your handmaid.
32 And Dawud (David) said to Abigay’el,
Blessed be hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), who sent you this day to meet me:
33 And blessed be your advice, and
blessed be you, which have kept me this
day from coming to shed blood, and from
avenging myself with my own hand.
34 For in very deed, as hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) lives, which has kept me
back from hurting you, except you had
523
hasted and come to meet me, surely there
had not been left to Nabal any male.1
35 So Dawud (David) received of her
hand that which she had brought him, and
said to her, Go up in shalom (peace) to
your house; see, I have hearkened to your
voice, and have accepted your person.
36 And Abigay’el came to Nabal; and,
behold, he held a feast in his house, like
the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was
merry within him, for he was drunk:
Therefore she told him absolutely nothing,
until the morning light.
37 But it came to pass in the morning,
when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and
his wife had told him these things, that his
heart died within him and he became as a
stone.
38 And it came to pass about ten days
after, that hwhy smote Nabal that he died.
39 And when Dawud (David) heard that
Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be
hwhy, that has pleaded the cause of my
reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has
kept his servant from evil: for hwhy has
returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his
own head. And Dawud (David) sent word
to Abigay’el, asking her to become his wife.
40 And when the servants of Dawud
(David) were come to Abigay’el to Carmel,
they spoke to her, saying, Dawud (David)
sent us to you, to take you to be his wife.
41 And she arose, and bowed herself on
her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let
your handmaid be a servant to wash the
feet of the servants of my master.
42 And Abigay’el hasted, and arose, and
rode upon a donkey, with five damsels of
hers that went after her; and she went after
the messengers of Dawud (David), and
became his wife.
43 Dawud (David) also took Ahinoam of
Yizre’el (Jezreel); and they were both his

daughter, Dawud (David)'s wife, to Phalti
the son of Laish, which was of Gallim. 2 said to Akhimelech the Hittite, and to
Chapter 26
1 And the Ziphites came to Sha’ul to
Gibeah, saying, is not Dawud (David)
hiding himself in the hill of Hachilah, which
is before Yeshimon?
2 Then Sha’ul arose, and went down to
the wilderness of Ziph, having three
thousand chosen men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
with him, to seek Dawud (David) in the
wilderness of Ziph.
3 And Sha’ul pitched in the hill of
Hachilah, which is before Yeshimon, by the
way. But Dawud (David) stayed in the
wilderness, and he saw that Sha’ul came
after him into the wilderness.
4 Dawud (David) therefore sent out spies,
and confirmed that Sha’ul had indeed
arrived.
5 And Dawud (David) arose, and came to
the place where Sha’ul had pitched: and
Dawud (David) beheld the place where
Sha’ul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the
commander of his army: and Sha’ul lay in
1 Polygamy is Biblical and allowed at all times as
long as the person can support two or more wives
and treat them sincerely. It is the best model to
acquire many children quickly. When Israel was in
Egypt they were predominantly polygamous. In
Israel’s culture it is not monogamy versus polygamy
but both occur as required based on people and
their various needs but YHWH commanded Israel to
have many children. One may argue that one
woman could have twelve children, this is true but in
YHWH’s economy one woman’s average was five
children and not twelve, only in Roman Catholic
doctrine such things are taken to extreme, while no
one wants a woman to be pregnant for twelve years
of her life as it is not easy to have children and it
would be considered wrong to do that to one
woman.

had cheated with David and on the advice of one of
his commanders married Michal to the other person
which was really adultery and not marriage.

the trench, and the people pitched
roundabout him.
6 Then answered Dawud (David) and
Abishai the son of Zeru’yah, brother to
Yoab, saying, Who will go down with me to
Sha’ul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will
go down with you.
7 So Dawud (David) and Abishai came to
the people by night: and, behold, Sha’ul lay
sleeping within the trench, and his spear
stuck in the ground at his bolster: but
Abner and the people lay round about him.
8 Then said Abishai to Dawud (David),
Elohim has delivered your enemy into your
hand this day: now therefore let me smite
him, I pray you, with the spear even to the
ground at once, and I will not smite him the
second time.
9 And Dawud (David) said to Abishai,
Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth
his hand against hwhy's anointed, and be
guiltless?
10 Dawud (David) said furthermore, As
hwhy lives, hwhy shall smite him; or his
day shall come to die; or he shall descend
into battle, and perish.
11 hwhy forbid that I should stretch forth
my hand against hwhy's anointed: but, I
pray you, take now the spear that is at his
head, and the jug of mayim (water), and let
us go.
12 So Dawud (David) took the spear and
the jug of mayim (water) from Sha’ul's
head; and they took them away, and no
man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked:
for they were all asleep; because a deep
sleep from hwhy was fallen upon them.
13 Then Dawud (David) went over to the
other side, and stood on the top of a hill
afar off; a great space being between
them:
14 And Dawud (David) called out to the
people, and to Abner the son of Ner,
saying, Will you not answer, Abner? Then
Abner answered and said, Who are you
that calls to the king?
15 And Dawud (David) said to Abner, Are
you not a valiant man? And who is like to
you in Yah’sar’el (Israel)? Therefore then
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
have you not kept your master the king?
For there came one of the people in to
destroy the king your master.
16 This thing is not good that you have
done. As hwhy lives, you are worthy to die,
because you have not kept your master,
hwhy's anointed. And now see where the
king's spear is, and the jug of mayim
(water) that was at his head.
17 And Sha’ul knew Dawud (David)'s
voice, and said, is this your voice, my son
Dawud (David)? And Dawud (David) said,
it is my voice, my master, O king.
18 And he said, why does my master
pursue after his servant? What have I
done? Or what evil is in my hand?
19 Now therefore, I pray you, let my
master the king hear the words of his
servant. If hwhy have stirred you up
against me, let him accept an offering: but
if they be the children of men, cursed be
they before hwhy; for they have driven me
out this day from abiding in the inheritance
of hwhy, saying, Go, serve other mighty
ones.
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to
the earth before the face of hwhy: for the
king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) is come out to
seek a flea, just as when one would hunt a
partridge in the mountains.
21 Then said Sha’ul, I have sinned:
return, my son Dawud (David): for I will no
more do you harm, because my soul was
precious in your eyes this day: behold, I
have played the fool, and have erred
exceedingly.
22 And Dawud (David) answered and
said, Behold the king's spear! And let one
of the young men come over and fetch it.
23 hwhy render to every man his
righteousness and his faithfulness: for
hwhy delivered you into my hand this very
day, but I would not stretch forth my hand
against hwhy's anointed.
1 King Sha’ul kept making such promises and kept
breaking them. His time was up and before long
YHWH would take his life.
24 And, behold, this day just as your life
was valuable in my eyes, so let my life be
also valuable in eyes of hwhy, and let him
deliver me out of all trouble.
25 Then Sha’ul said to Dawud (David),
Blessed be you, my son Dawud (David):
you shall both do great things, and also
shall still prevail. So Dawud (David) went
on his way, and Sha’ul returned to his
place.
Chapter 27
1 And Dawud (David) said in his heart, I
shall now perish one day by the hand of
Sha’ul: there is nothing better for me than
that I should speedily escape into the land
of the Plushtim (Philistines); and Sha’ul
shall despair of me, to search for me in all
the territory of Yah’sar’el (Israel): so I shall
escape out of his hand.
2 And Dawud (David) arose, and he
passed over with the six hundred men that
were with him to Akish, the son of Maoch,
king of Gath.
3 And Dawud (David) dwelt with Akish at
Gath, he and his men, every man with his
household, even Dawud (David) with his
two wives, Ahinoam the Yizreelitess, and
Abigay’el the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
4 And it was told Sha’ul that Dawud
(David) was fled to Gath: and Sha’ul did
not set another expedition to seek him.
5 And Dawud (David) said to Akish, If I
have now found grace in your eyes, let
them give me a place in some town in the
country, that I may dwell there: for why
should your servant dwell in the royal city
with you?
1 6 Then Akish gave him Ziklag that day:
Therefore Ziklag pertains to the kings of
Yahudah (Judah) to this day.
7 And the time that Dawud (David) dwelt
in the country of the Plushtim (Philistines)
was a full year and four months.
8 And Dawud (David) and his men went
up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the
Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those
nations were of old the inhabitants of the
land, as you go to Shur, even to the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).

5 Is not this Dawud (David), of whom they

6 Then Akish called Dawud (David), and
said to him, Surely, as hwhy lives, you
have been upright, and your going out and
your coming in with me in the army is good
in my sight: for I have not found evil in you
since the day of your coming to me to this

you.
7 Therefore now return, and go in shalom
(peace), that you displease not the princes
of the Plushtim (Philistines).
8 And Dawud (David) said to Akish, But
what have I done? And what have you
found in your servant so long as I have
been with you to this day, that I may not go
fight against the enemies of my master the
king?
9 And Akish answered and said to Dawud
(David), I know that you are good in my
sight, as an angel of Elohim:
notwithstanding the princes of the Plushtim
(Philistines) have said, He shall not go up
with us to the battle.
10 Therefore now rise up early in the

up early to depart in the morning, to return
into the land of the Plushtim (Philistines).
And the Plushtim (Philistines) went up to
Yizre’el (Jezreel).
Chapter 30
1 And it came to pass, when Dawud
(David) and his men were come to Ziklag
on the third day, that the Amalekites had
invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten
Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
2 And had taken the women captives that
were therein: they slew not any, either
great or small, but carried them away, and
3 So Dawud (David) and his men came to
the city, and, behold, it was burned with
fire; and their wives, and their sons, and
their daughters, were taken captives.
4 Then Dawud (David) and the people
that were with him lifted up their voice and
wept, until they had no more power to
weep.
5 And Dawud (David)'s two wives were
taken captives, Ahinoam the Yizreelitess,
and Abigay’el the wife of Nabal the
Carmelite.
6 And Dawud (David) was greatly
distressed; for the people spoke of stoning
him, because the soul of all the people was
grieved, every man for his sons and for his
daughters: but Dawud (David) encouraged
himself in hwhy his Elohim.
7 And Dawud (David) said to Ebyathar
the kohen (priest), Akhimelech's son, I pray
you, bring me here the ephod. And
Ebyathar brought there the ephod to
Dawud (David).
8 And Dawud (David) enquired with
hwhy, saying, Shall I pursue after this
troop? Shall I overtake them? And he
answered him, Pursue: for you shall surely
overtake them, and without fail recover all.
9 So Dawud (David) went, he and the six
hundred men that were with him, and came
to the brook Besor, where those that were
left behind stayed.
10 But Dawud (David) pursued, he and
four hundred men: for two hundred abode
behind, which were so weary that they
 First Samuel (Shemuel Alef)
could not go over the brook Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the
field, and brought him to Dawud (David),
and gave him lechem (bread), and he did
eat; and they made him drink mayim
(water);
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake
of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and
when he had eaten, his ruach (spirit) came
again to him: for he had eaten no lechem
(bread), nor drunk any mayim (water),
three days and three nights.
13 And Dawud (David) said to him, To
whom do you belong? And why are you
from? And he said, I am a young man of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), servant to an Amalekite;
and my master left me, because three days
ago I fell sick.
14 We made an invasion upon the south
of the Kerethites, and upon the coast which
belongs to Yahudah (Judah), and upon the
south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with
fire.
15 And Dawud (David) said to him, Can
you take me down to this company? And
he said, Swear to me by Elohim that you
will neither kill me, nor deliver me into the
hands of my master, and I will bring you
down to this company.
16 And when he had brought him down,
behold, they were spread abroad upon all
the land, eating and drinking, and dancing,
because of all the great spoil that they had
taken out of the land of the Plushtim
(Philistines), and out of the land of
Yahudah (Judah).
17 And Dawud (David) smote them from
the twilight even to the evening of the next
day: and there escaped not a man of them,
save four hundred young men, which rode
upon camels, and fled.
18 And Dawud (David)1 recovered all that
the Amalekites had carried away: and
Dawud (David) rescued his two wives.2

19 And there was nothing lacking to
them, neither small nor great, neither sons
nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything
that they had taken to them: Dawud
(David) recovered all.
20 And Dawud (David) took all the flocks
and the herds, which they drove before
those other cattle, and said, this is Dawud
(David)'s spoil.
21 And Dawud (David) came to the two
hundred men, which were so weary that
they could not follow Dawud (David), whom
they had made also to abide at the brook
Besor: and they went forth to meet Dawud
(David), and to meet the people that were
with him: and when Dawud (David) came
near to the people, he greeted them.
22 Then answered all the wicked men
and men of Beliyaal, of them that went with
Dawud (David), and said, Because they
went not with us, we will not give them
ought of the spoil that we have recovered,
save to every man his wife and his
children, that they may lead them away,
and depart.
23 Then said Dawud (David), You shall
not do so, my brethren, with that which
hwhy has given us, who has preserved us,
and delivered the company that came
against us into our hand.
24 For who will listen to you in this
matter? But the share will be the same for
the two Houses of Israel, North and South. Although
King David had a total of 18 wives likewise the
Messiah in an allegorical picture has several wives
being the believers that follow after Him though
many times illustrated as the Bride of the Messiah or
brides as in the parable of the ten virgins of Matthew
25 depict the ten tribes of Israel. In the picture of
allegory, Abbah YHWH is the elder combining the
Holy Spirit and Seven other feminine Spirits of
YHWH in submission to Him followed by His only
unique Son Yahushua of Nazareth to make up the
Patriarchal family of YHWH. This is certainly how we
as humans can get as close to understanding our
Father in heaven but we do not know what
Akhad unity of YHWH. This will of course remain a
mystery perhaps until we face the Son YHWH face to
face and ask Him to explain this to us.

him that went down to the battle, so shall
the share be the same for him who
remained behind to look after the supplies.
25 And it was so from that day forward,
that he made it a statute and an ordinance
for Yah’sar’el (Israel) to this day.
26 And when Dawud (David) came to
Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of
Yahudah (Judah), even to his friends,
saying; behold a present for you of the
spoil of the enemies of hwhy;
27 To them which were in Beyth’el, and
to them which were in south Ramoth, and
to them which were in Yattir,
28 And to them which were in Aroer, and
to them which were in Siphmoth, and to
them which were in Eshtemoa,
29 And to them which were in Rachal,
and to them which were in the cities of the
Yerahmeelites, and to them which were in
the cities of the Kenites,
30 And to them which were in Hormah,
and to them which were in Chorashan, and
to them which were in Athach,
31 And to them which were in Hebron,
and to all the places where Dawud (David)
himself and his men were wont to haunt.
Chapter 31
1 Now the Plushtim (Philistines) fought
against Yah’sar’el (Israel): and the men of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) fled from before the
Plushtim (Philistines), and fell down slain in
Mount Gilboa.
2 And the Plushtim (Philistines) followed
hard upon Sha’ul and upon his sons; and
the Plushtim (Philistines) slew Yahunathan
(Jonathan), and Abinadab, and Malchi-
shua, Sha’ul's sons.
3 And the battle went sore against Sha’ul,
and the archers hit him; and he was sore
wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Sha’ul to his armour bearer,
Draw your sword, and thrust me through
therewith; lest these uncircumcised come
and thrust me through, and abuse me
530
sexually.1 But his armour bearer would not;
for he was sore afraid. Therefore Sha’ul
took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 And when his armour bearer saw that
Sha’ul was dead, he fell likewise upon his
sword, and died with him.
6 So Sha’ul died, and his three sons, and
his armour bearer, and all his men, that
same day together.
7 And when the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
that were on the other side of the valley,
and they that were on the other side
Yardan (Jordan), saw that the men of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) fled, and that Sha’ul and
his sons were dead, they forsook the cities,
and fled; and the Plushtim (Philistines)
came and dwelt in them.
8 And it came to pass on the day after,
when the Plushtim (Philistines) came to
strip the slain, that they found Sha’ul and
his three sons fallen in Mount Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped
off his armour, and sent into the land of the
Plushtim (Philistines) roundabout, to
proclaim it in the house of their idols, and
among the people.
10 And they put his armour in the house
of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to
the wall of Beyth-shan.
11 And when the inhabitants of Yabesh-
Gilead heard of that which the Plushtim
(Philistines) had done to Sha’ul;
12 All the valiant men arose, and went all
night, and took the body of Sha’ul and the
bodies of his sons from the wall of Beyth-
shan, and came to Yabesh, and burnt them
there.
1 The Philistines had a practice of sodomizing their
victims and humiliated their victims in public to show
their manhood, hence why King Sha’ul would rather
take his life then face this kind of public sexual
abuse allowing himself and Israel to be publicly
humiliated. This is why YHWH gave them
haemorrhoids, which shows that their backsides
were sore. This is what you would get doing
something which YHWH hates indicating what you
sow you reap. This was a bit embarrassing for them
all.

1 Now it came to pass after the death of
Sha’ul, when Dawud (David) returned from
the slaughter of the Amalekites, and
Dawud (David) had stayed two days in
Ziklag;
2 It came even to pass on the third day,
that, behold, a man came out of the camp
from Sha’ul with his clothes torn, and dirt
upon his head: and so it was, when he
came to Dawud (David), that he fell to the
earth, and bowed.
3 And Dawud (David) said to him, Where
do you come from? And he said to him,
Out of the camp of Yah’sar’el (Israel) I
escaped.
4 And Dawud (David) said to him, How
did it go? I pray you, tell me. And he
answered, That the people fled from the
battle, and many of the people also are
fallen and dead; and Sha’ul and
Yahunathan (Jonathan) his son are dead
also.
5 And Dawud (David) said to the young
man that told him, How do you know that
Sha’ul and Yahunathan (Jonathan) his son
be dead?
6 And the young man said, I happened to
be there by chance upon Mount Gilboa,
behold, Sha’ul leaned upon his spear; and,
lo, the chariots and horsemen were in hot
pursuit of him.
7 And when he looked behind him, he
saw me, and called to me. And I answered,
Here I am.
8 And he said to me, Who are you? And I
answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 He said to me again, Stand, I pray you,
upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come
upon me, because my life is yet whole in
me.
10 So I stood upon him, and slew him,
because I was sure that he could not live
after that he was fallen: and I took the
crown that was upon his head, and the
bracelet that was on his arm, and have
brought them here to my master.
11 Then Dawud (David) took hold on his
clothes, and torn them; and likewise all the
men that were with him:
12 And they mourned, and wept, and
fasted until evening, for Sha’ul, and for
Yahunathan (Jonathan) his son, and for
the people of hwhy, and for the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); because they were
fallen by the sword.1
13 And Dawud (David) said to the young
man that told him, where are you from?
And he answered, I am the son of a
resident, an Amalekite.
14 And Dawud (David) said to him, Were
you not afraid to stretch out your hand to
destroy hwhy's anointed?
15 And Dawud (David) called one of the
soldiers, and said, come here, and strike
him down. And he struck him that he died.
16 And Dawud (David) said to him, Your
blood be upon your head; for your mouth
has testified against you, saying, I have
slain hwhy's anointed.
17 And Dawud (David) lamented with this
lamentation over Sha’ul and over

enemy, who was trying to kill him, showing respect
to the anointed of YHWH. Few men today have the

will have him lead Israel in the millennium fully

18 Also he ordered them to teach the

of the mighty lay rejected, the shield of

22 From the blood of the slain, from the
fat of the mighty, the bow of Yahunathan
(Jonathan) turned not back, and the sword
of Sha’ul returned not empty.
23 Sha’ul and Yahunathan (Jonathan)
were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and
in their death they were not divided: they
were swifter than eagles, they were
stronger than lions.
24 You daughters of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
weep over Sha’ul, who clothed you in
scarlet, with other delights, who put on
ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst
of the battle! Yahunathan (Jonathan) was
slain in your high places.
26 I am distressed for you, my brother
Yahunathan (Jonathan): very pleasant
have you been to me: your love to me was
wonderful, passing the love of women.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the
weapons of war perished!

Chapter 2
1 And it came to pass after this that
Dawud (David) enquired of hwhy, saying,
Shall I go up into any of the cities of
Yahudah (Judah)? And hwhy said to him,
Go up. And Dawud (David) said, Where
shall I go up? And he said, Hebron.
2 So Dawud (David) went up there, and
Yizreelitess, and Abigay’el the widow of
Nabal the Carmelite.
3 And his men that were with him Dawud
(David) brought them up, every man with
his household: and they dwelt in the cities
of Hebron.
4 And the men of Yahudah (Judah)
came, and there they anointed Dawud
(David) king over the house of Yahudah
(Judah). And they told Dawud (David),
saying, That the men of Yabesh-Gilead
were they that buried Sha’ul.
5 And Dawud (David) sent messengers to
the men of Yabesh-Gilead, and said to
them, Blessed are you of hwhy, that you
have showed this kindness to your master,
even to Sha’ul, and have buried him.
6 And now hwhy show kindness and
truth to you: and I also will repay you this
kindness, because you have done this
thing.
7 Therefore now let your hands be
strengthened, and be valiant: for your
master Sha’ul is dead, and also the house
of Yahudah (Judah) have anointed me king
over them.
8 But Abner the son of Ner, commander
of Sha’ul's army, took Ish-bosheth the son
of Sha’ul, and brought him over to
Mahanaim;
9 And made him king over Gilead, and
over the Geshurite,2 and over Yizre’el
2 The Hebrew text reading of Ashurites is clearly
wrong and a later scribal error, the term is correctly
called the Geshurite since Ishbosheth did not rule
Assyria.
533
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
(Jezreel), and over Ephraim, and over
Benyamin (Benjamin), and over all
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
10 Ish-bosheth Sha’ul's son was forty
years old when he began to reign over
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and reigned two years.
But the house of Yahudah (Judah) followed
Dawud (David).
11 And the time that Dawud (David) was
king in Hebron over the house of Yahudah
(Judah) was seven years and six months.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the
servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Sha’ul,
went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 And Yoab the son of Zeru’yah, and the
servants of Dawud (David), went out, and
met together by the pool of Gibeon: and
they sat down, the one on the one side of
the pool, and the other on the other side of
the pool.
14 And Abner said to Yoab, Let the
young men now arise, and play before us.
And Yoab said, Let them arise.
15 Then there arose and went over by
number twelve of Benyamin (Benjamin),
which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of
Sha’ul, and twelve of the servants of
Dawud (David).
16 And they caught every one his fellow
by the head, and thrust his sword in his
fellow's side; so they fell down together:
Therefore that place was called Helkath-
hazzurim,1 which is in Gibeon.
17 And there was a very severe battle
that day; and Abner was beaten, and the
men of Yah’sar’el (Israel), before the
servants of Dawud (David).2
18 And there were three sons of Zeru’yah
there, Yoab, and Abishai, and Asah’el: and
Asah’el was as light of foot as a wild
gazelle.

the Targum translates this as field of inheritance.

534
in going he turned not to the right hand nor
to the left from following Abner.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and
said, Are you Asah’el? And he answered, I
am.
21 And Abner said to him, Turn aside to
your right hand or to your left, and capture
one of the soldiers, and take his armour.
But Asah’el would not turn aside from
following him.
22 And Abner said again to Asah’el, Turn
aside from following me: I do not want to
kill you? How then whould I show my face
to Yoab your brother?
23 But he refused to turn aside:
Therefore Abner with the rear end of his
spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the
spear came out behind him; and he fell
down there, and died in the same place:
and it came to pass, that as many as came
to the place where Asah’el fell down and
died stood still.
24 Yoab also and Abishai pursued after
Abner: and the sun went down when they
were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies
before Giah by the way of the wilderness of
Gibeon.
25 And the children of Benyamin
(Benjamin) gathered themselves together
after Abner, and became one troop, and
stood on the top of an hill.
26 Then Abner called to Yoab, and said,
Must the sword devour forever? Do you not
know that in the end it will be bitter? How
long shall it be then, before you tell the
people to stop following their brethren?
27 And Yoab said, As Elohim lives,
unless you had said this, surely then it
would be morning before the people would
have abandoned pursuit of their brothers.
28 So Yoab blew a shofar, and all the
people stood still, and pursued after
Yah’sar’el (Israel) no more, neither fought
they anymore.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that
night through the plain, and passed over
Yardan (Jordan), and went through all

Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30 And Yoab returned from following
Abner: and when he had gathered all the
people together, nineteen of Dawud’s
(David) soldiers were missing and Asah’el.
31 But the servants of Dawud (David)
had smitten of Benyamin (Benjamin), and
of Abner's men, so that three hundred and
sixty men died.
32 And they took up Asah’el, and buried
him in the sepulchre of his father, which
was in Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem). And
Yoab and his men went all night, and they
came to Hebron at break of day.
Chapter 3
1 Now there was long war between the
house of Sha’ul and the house of Dawud
(David): but Dawud (David) waxed stronger
and stronger, and the house of Sha’ul grew
weaker and weaker.
2 And to Dawud (David) were sons born
in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon,1
of Ahinoam the Yizreelitess;
3 And his second, Kilab, by Abigay’el the
widow of Nabal the Carmelite; and the

third, Abshalom the son of Maacah the
daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;

Haggith; and the fifth, Shefat’yah4 the son
of Abital;

Dawud (David) in Hebron.6
6 And it came to pass, while there was
war between the house of Sha’ul and the
house of Dawud (David), that Abner made
himself strong for the house of Sha’ul.
7 And Sha’ul had a concubine, whose
name was Rizpah, the daughter of Ayah:
and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have
you slept with my father's concubine?
8 Then was Abner very angry for the
words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I the
head of a dog that belongs to Yahudah
(Judah). I have shown loyalty and kindness
up to this very day to the house of Sha’ul
your father, to his brethren, and to his
friends, and have not delivered you into the
hand of Dawud (David), yet you charge me
this very day with a fault concerning this
woman?
9 So let Elohim severely judge Abner,
except as hwhy has sworn to Dawud
(David), even so I do to him;
10 To transfer the kingdom from the
house of Sha’ul, and to set up the throne of
Dawud (David) over Yah’sar’el (Israel) and
over Yahudah (Judah), from Dan even to
Beersheba.
11 And he could not answer Abner a
word again, because he feared him.
12 And Abner sent messengers to Dawud
(David) on his behalf, saying, to whom
does the land belong? Saying also, make a
covenant with me, and, behold, my hand
shall be with you, to bring about all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to you.
13 And he said, well; I will make a
covenant with you: but one thing I require
of you, that is, you shall not see my face,
except you first bring Michal Sha’ul's
daughter, when you come to see my face.
14 And Dawud (David) sent messengers
renewed covenant YHWH counted David after his
own heart.
535
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
to Ish-bosheth Sha’ul's son, saying, deliver
me my wife Michal, which was espoused to
me for a hundred foreskins of the Plushtim
(Philistines).
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her
from her husband, even from Phalti’el the
son of Laish.1
16 And her husband went with her along
weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said
Abner to him, Go, return. And he returned.
17 And Abner had communication with
the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying,
You sought for Dawud (David) in times
past to be king over you:
18 Now then do it: for hwhy has spoken
of Dawud (David), saying, By the hand of
my servant Dawud (David) I will save my
people Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of the hand of
the Plushtim (Philistines), and out of the
hand of all their enemies.
19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of
Benyamin (Benjamin): and Abner went
also to speak in the ears of Dawud (David)
in Hebron all that seemed good to
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and that seemed good
to the whole house of Benyamin
(Benjamin).
20 So Abner came to Dawud (David) to
Hebron, and twenty men with him. And
Dawud (David) made Abner and the men
that were with him a feast.
21 And Abner said to Dawud (David), I
will arise and go, and will gather all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to my master the king,
that they may make a covenant with you,
and that you may reign over all that your
heart desires. And Dawud (David) sent
Abner away; and he went in shalom
(peace).
22 And, behold, the servants of Dawud
(David) and Yoab were coming back from

wife back. She could not live with the other man

a gross violation of Torah law.
a raid, and brought in a great spoil with
them: but Abner was not with Dawud
(David) in Hebron; for he had sent him
away, and he was gone in shalom (peace).
23 When Yoab and all the soldiers that
was with him were here, they told Yoab,
saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the
king, and he has sent him away, and he is
gone in shalom (peace).
24 Then Yoab came to the king, and said,
What have you done? Behold, Abner came
to you; why is it that you have sent him
away, and he is gone quietly?
25 You know Abner the son of Ner, that
he came to deceive you, and to know your
going out and your coming in, and to know
all that you do.
26 And when Yoab was come out from
Dawud (David), he sent messengers after
Abner, which brought him again from the
well of Sirah: but Dawud (David) knew it
not.
27 And when Abner was returned to
Hebron, Yoab took him aside in the gate to
speak with him quietly, and smote him
there under the fifth rib, that he died, for
the blood of Asah’el his brother.
28 And afterward when Dawud (David)
heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are
guiltless before hwhy forever from the
blood of Abner the son of Ner:
29 Let it rest on the head of Yoab, and on
all his father's house; and let there not fail
from the house of Yoab one that has an
issue, or that is a leper, or that leans on a
staff, or that falls on the sword, or that
lacks lechem (bread).2
30 So Yoab and Abishai his brother slew
Abner, because he had slain their brother
Asah’el at Gibeon in the battle.
31 And Dawud (David) said to Yoab, and
to all the people that were with him, tear
your clothes, and gird yourselves with
sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And
2 So this pronouncement came to pass.
536
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
king Dawud (David) himself followed the
coffin.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and
the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the
grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
33 And the king lamented over Abner,
and said, should Abner die as a fool dies?
34 Your hands were not bound, nor your
feet put into shackles: as a man falls
before wicked men, so you fell. And all the
people wept again over him.
35 And when all the people came to
cause Dawud (David) to eat food while it
was yet day, Dawud (David) swore, saying,
So do Elohim to me, and more also, if I
taste lechem (bread), or ought else, till the
sun be down. 1 house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at
36 And all the people took notice of it,
and it pleased them: as whatsoever the
king did pleased all the people.
37 For all the people and all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) understood that day that it was not
of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
38 And the king said to his servants,
Know you not that there is a prince and a
great man fallen this day in Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
39 And I am this day weak, though
anointed king; and these men the sons of
Zeru’yah are too hard for me: hwhy shall
reward the doer of evil according to his
wickedness.
Chapter 4
1 And when Sha’ul's son heard that
Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were
feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 And Sha’ul's son had two men that
were commanders of bands: the name of
the one was Baanah, and the name of the
other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a
Beerothite, of the children of Benyamin
1 Fasting generally was early morning to sundown
the custom that we find Muslims also adopting in
their religion.
537
(Benjamin): for Beeroth was also reckoned
to Benyamin (Benjamin):
3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and
were sojourners there until this day.
4 And Yahunathan (Jonathan), Sha’ul's
son, had a son that was lame of his feet.
He was five years old when the news came
of Sha’ul and Yahunathan (Jonathan) out
of Yizre’el (Jezreel), and his nurse took him
up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she
made haste to flee, that he fell, and
became lame. And his name was
Mephibosheth.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the
Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and
came about the heat of the day to the
noon.
6 And they came there into the midst of
the house, as though they would have
fetched wheat; and they smote him under
the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his
brother escaped.
7 For when they came into the house, he
lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they
smote him, and slew him, and beheaded
him, and took his head, and took it away
through the plain all night.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-
bosheth to Dawud (David) to Hebron, and
said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-
bosheth the son of Sha’ul your enemy,
which sought your life; and hwhy has
avenged my master the king this day of
Sha’ul, and of his seed.
9 And Dawud (David) answered Rechab
and Baanah his brother, the sons of
Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them,
As hwhy lives, who has redeemed my soul
out of all adversity,
10 When one told me, saying, Behold,
Sha’ul is dead, thinking to have brought
good news, I took hold of him, and slew
him in Ziklag, who thought that I would
have given him a reward for his news:
11 How much more, when wicked men
have slain a righteous person in his own
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
house upon his bed? Shall I not therefore
now require his blood of your hand, and
remove you from the land?
12 And Dawud (David) commanded his
soldiers, and they slew them, and cut off
their hands and their feet, and hanged
1
them up over the pool in Hebron. But they
took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it
in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
Chapter 5
1 Then came all the tribes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) to Dawud (David) to Hebron, and
spoke, saying, Behold, we are your bone
and your flesh.
2 Also in time past, when Sha’ul was king
over us, you were the real leader in
Yah’sar’el (Israel) going out and coming in:
and hwhy said to you, You shall feed my
people Yah’sar’el (Israel) and you shall
shepherd my people Yah’sar’el (Israel).
3 So all the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
came to the king to Hebron; and king
Dawud (David) made a covenant with them
in Hebron before hwhy: and they anointed
Dawud (David) king over Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
4 Dawud (David) was thirty years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned
forty years.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Yahudah
(Judah) seven years and six months: and
in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) he reigned
thirty three years over all Yah’sar’el (Israel) Nathan, and Sul’ahmon (Solomon),
and Yahudah (Judah).
6 And the king and his men went to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to the
Yebusites, the inhabitants of the land:
which spoke to Dawud (David), saying,
Except you take away the blind and the
lame, you shall not come in here: thinking,
Dawud (David) cannot come in here.
7 Nevertheless Dawud (David) took the

who murder innocent people.
stronghold of Tsiyon: the same is the city
of Dawud (David).
8 And Dawud (David) said on that day,
whoever attacks the Yebusites must
approach the lame and the blind who are
Dawud's (David’s) enemies by going
through the water tunnel, for this reason it
is said: The blind and the lame shall not
come into the house.2
9 So Dawud (David) dwelt in the fort, and
called it the city of Dawud (David). And
Dawud (David) built roundabout from the
terrace and inwards.
10 And Dawud (David) went on, and grew
great, and hwhy Elohim of hosts was with
him.
11 And Hiram king of Tsor (Tyre) sent
messengers to Dawud (David), and cedar
etzim (trees), and carpenters, and masons:
and they built Dawud (David) a house.
12 And Dawud (David) perceived that
hwhy had established him king over
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and that he had exalted
his kingdom for his people Yah’sar’el
(Israel)'s sake.
13 And Dawud (David) took him more
concubines and wives out of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), after he was come from
Hebron: and there were yet sons and
daughters born to Dawud (David).
14 And these be the names of those that
were born to him in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem); Shammua, and Shobab, and
15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg,
2 Why did David hate the lame and the blind?
This mystery was solved by an archeologists who
found the meaning written in some ancient tablets
that the Jebusites when they attacked any place
they used to make blind and lame to sit at the edges
of the city because those who fought them had to
come up the mountain and they would place a
witchcraft curse on those who would attack them
and they would say anyone who attacks and fights
with us may become blind. Jebusites curse was
broken by King David.

17 But when the Plushtim (Philistines)
heard that they had anointed Dawud
(David) king over Yah’sar’el (Israel), all the
Plushtim (Philistines) came up to seek
Dawud (David); and Dawud (David) heard
of it, and went down to their stronghold.
18 The Plushtim (Philistines) also came
and spread themselves in the valley of
Rephaim.
19 And Dawud (David) enquired of hwhy,
saying, Shall I go up to the Plushtim
(Philistines)? Will you deliver them into my
hand? And hwhy said to Dawud (David),
Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the
Plushtim (Philistines) into your hand.
20 And Dawud (David) came to Baal-
peratzim, and Dawud (David) smote them
there, and said, hwhy has broken forth
upon my enemies before me, as the
breach of waters. Therefore he called the
name of that place Baal-peratzim.
21 And there they left their images, and
Dawud (David) and his men burned them.
22 And the Plushtim (Philistines) came up
yet again, and spread themselves in the
valley of Rephaim.
23 And when Dawud (David) enquired of
hwhy, he said, You shall not go straight
up; but this time circle around them, and
come upon them over against the mulberry
etzim (trees).
24 And let it be, when you hear the sound
of marching in the tops of the mulberry
etzim (trees), that then you shall prepare
yourself: for then shall hwhy go out before
you, to strike the army of the Plushtim
(Philistines).1
1 This sound was one of a going, (Hebrew tseadah)
meaning the sound of a mighty army on the march
which struck terror to the Philistines. According to
Finis Dakes the Arabic version says the sound was
the noise of horses’ hoofs, having known all the time
25 And Dawud (David) did so, as hwhy
had commanded him; and struck down the
Plushtim (Philistines) from Geba until you
come to Gazer.

1 Again, Dawud (David) gathered
together all the chosen men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), thirty thousand.
2 And Dawud (David) arose, and went
with all the people that were with him from
Baale of Yahudah (Judah), to bring up from
there the ark of Elohim, whose name is
called by the name of hwhy of hosts that
dwells between the Cherubims.
3 And they set the ark of Elohim upon a
new cart, and brought it out of the house of
Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzz’yah
and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the
new cart.
4 And they brought it out of the house of
Abinadab which was at Gibeah,
accompanying the ark of Elohim: and Ahio
went before the ark.
5 And Dawud (David) and all the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) played before hwhy in
all manner of instruments made of fir wood,
even on lyre harps, and on psalteries, and
on tambourines, and on cornets, and on
cymbals.
6 And when they came to Nakhun's
threshing floor, Uzz’yah put forth his hand
to the ark of Elohim, and took hold of it; for
the oxen shook it.
7 And the anger of hwhy was kindled
against Uzz’yah; and Elohim smote him
there for his error; and there he died by the

reasoned that some other mighty army was
appearing suddenly behind them to help David’s
army, so they fled immediately and were pursued.

20 Then Dawud (David) returned to bless
his household. And Michal the daughter of
Sha’ul came out to meet Dawud (David),
and said, How glorious was the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) today, who uncovered
himself today in the eyes of the handmaids
of his servants, as one of the vain fellows
shamelessly uncovers himself!1
21 And Dawud (David) said to Michal, It
was before hwhy, who chose me before
your father, and before all his house, to
appoint me ruler over the people of hwhy,
over Yah’sar’el (Israel): therefore will I play
before hwhy.
22 And I am willing to shame and
humiliate myself even more than this: and

Why do you not build me a house of

20 And what can Dawud (David) say
more to you? For you, Master hwhy, know
your servant.
21 For your word's sake, and according
to your own heart, have you done all these
great things, to make your servant know
them.
22 Therefore you are great, O hwhy

neither is there any Supreme One beside
you, according to all that we have heard
with our ears.
23 And what one nation in the earth is
like your people, even like Yah’sar’el
(Israel), whom Elohim went to redeem for a
people to himself, and to make him a
name, and to do for you great things and
terrible, for your land, before your people,
which you redeemed4 to you from
Mitzrayim (Egypt), from the nations and
their mighty ones?
24 For you have confirmed to yourself
your people Yah’sar’el (Israel) to be a

Chapter 8
1 And after this it came to pass, that
Dawud (David) smote the Plushtim
(Philistines), and subdued them: and
Dawud (David) took Metheg-ammah out of
the hand of the Plushtim (Philistines).1
2 And he smote Moab, and measured
them with a line, casting them down to the
ground; even with two lines measured he
to put to death, and with one full line to
keep alive. And so the Moabites became
Dawud (David)'s servants, and brought
gifts.
3 Dawud (David) smote also Hadadezer,
the son of Rechob, king of Zobah, as he
went to recover his border at the river
Euphrates.
4 And Dawud (David) captured from him
a thousand chariots, and seven hundred
horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen:
and Dawud (David) cut hamstrings of all
the chariot horses, but reserved of them a
hundred chariots.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus
came to help Hadadezer2 king of Zobah,
1 David shows a picture of how Yahushua will defeat
all the enemies of Israel and be victorious in the
Messianic era.
2 Hadadezer means Demon helper.
Dawud (David) slew of the Syrians twenty-
two thousand men.3
6 Then Dawud (David) put garrisons in
Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians
became servants to Dawud (David), and
brought gifts. And hwhy preserved Dawud
(David) wherever he went.
7 And Dawud (David) took the shields of
gold that were on the servants of
Hadadezer, and brought them to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
8 And from Betah, and from Berothai,
cities of Hadadezer, king Dawud (David)
took exceeding much brass.
9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that
Dawud (David) had smitten all the armies
of Hadadezer,
10 Then Toi sent Yoram his son to king
Dawud (David), to greet him, and to bless
him, because he had fought against
Hadadezer, and smitten him: for
Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Yoram
brought with him vessels of silver, and
vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
11 Which also king Dawud (David) did
dedicate to hwhy, with the silver and gold
that he had dedicated of all nations which
he subdued;
12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the
children of Ammon, and of the Plushtim
(Philistines), and of Amalek, and of the
spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rechob, king of
Zobah.
13 And Dawud (David) made a name for
himself when he returned from smiting of
the Syrians in the valley of salt, being
eighteen thousand men.
14 And he put garrisons in Edom;
throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and
all they of Edom became Dawud (David)'s
servants. And hwhy preserved Dawud

executed right-ruling and justice to all his
people.
16 And Yoab the son of Zeru’yah was
over the host; and Yahushafat the son of
Akhilud was recorder;
17 And Tzadok the son of Akhitub, and
Akhimelech the son of Ebyathar, were the
kohenim (priests); and Serai’yah was the
scribe;
18 And Bena’yah the son of Yahuyada
(Yahoiada) was over both the Kerethites
and the Pelethites; and Dawud (David)'s
sons were chief rulers.
Chapter 9
1 And Dawud (David) said, Is there yet
any that is left of the house of Sha’ul, that I to all that my master the king has
may show him kindness for Yahunathan
(Jonathan)'s sake?
2 And there was of the house of Sha’ul a
servant whose name was Ziba. And when
they had called him to Dawud (David), the
king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he
said, At your service, your servant.
3 And the king said, Is there not yet any
of the house of Sha’ul, that I may show
kindness of Elohim to him? And Ziba said
to the king, Yahunathan (Jonathan) has yet
a son, which is lame on his feet.
4 And the king said to him, Where is he?
And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in
the house of Machir, the son of Ammi’el, in
Lo-debar.
5 Then king Dawud (David) sent, and
fetched him out of the house of Machir, the
son of Ammi’el, from Lo-debar.
6 Now when Mephibosheth, the son of
Yahunathan (Jonathan), the son of Sha’ul,
was come to Dawud (David), he fell on his
face, and did reverence. And Dawud
(David) said, Mephibosheth. And he
answered, Behold your servant!
7 And Dawud (David) said to him, Fear
not: for I will surely show you kindness for
Yahunathan (Jonathan) your father's sake,
and will restore you all the land of Sha’ul
544
your father; and you shall eat lechem
(bread) at my table continually.
8 And he bowed himself, and said, What
is your servant, that you should look upon
such a dead dog as I am?
9 Then the king called to Ziba, Sha’ul's
servant, and said to him, I have given to
your master's son all that pertained to
Sha’ul and to all his house.
10 You therefore, and your sons, and
your servants, shall till the land for him and
you shall bring in the fruits, that your
master's son may have food to eat: but
Mephibosheth your master's son shall eat
lechem (bread) always at my table. Now
Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Then said Ziba to the king, According
commanded his servant, so shall your
servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the
king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the
king's sons.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son,
whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt
in the house of Ziba were servants to
Mephibosheth.
13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): for he did eat
continually at the king's table; and was
lame on both his feet.
Chapter 10
1 And it came to pass after this, that the
king of the children of Ammon died, and
Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 Then said Dawud (David), I will show
kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as
his father showed kindness to me. And
Dawud (David) sent to comfort him by the
hand of his servants for his father. And
Dawud (David)'s servants came into the
land of the children of Ammon.
3 And the princes of the children of
Ammon said to Hanun their master, do you
think Dawud (David) honours your father,
which he has sent comforters to you? Has
not Dawud (David) rather sent his servants
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)

and to overthrow it?
4 Therefore Hanun took Dawud (David)'s
servants, and shaved off one half of their
1
beards, and cut off their garments in the
middle, even to their buttocks, and sent
them away.
5 When they told it to Dawud (David), he
sent to meet them, because the men were
greatly ashamed: and the king said, stay a
while at Yericho (Jericho) until your beards
be grown, and then return.
6 And when the children of Ammon
realized that they disgusted Dawud
(David), the children of Ammon sent and
hired the Syrians of Beyth-Rechob, and the
Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen,
and of king Maacah a thousand men, and
of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
7 And when Dawud (David) heard of it,
he sent Yoab, and all the host of the
mighty men.
8 And the children of Ammon came out,
and put the battle in array at the entering in he gathered all Yah’sar’el (Israel) together,
of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and
of Rechob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, were
by themselves in the field.
9 When Yoab saw that the front of the
battle was against him before and behind,
he chose of all the choice men of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and put them in array
against the Syrians:
10 And the rest of the people he
delivered into the hand of Abishai his
brother, that he might put them in array
against the children of Ammon.
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too
strong for me, then you shall help me: but if
the children of Ammon be too strong for
12 Be of good courage, and let us play
the men for our people, and for the cities of
our Elohim: and hwhy do that which seems
good to him.
13 And Yoab drew near, and the people
that were with him, to the battle against the
Syrians: and they fled before him.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw
that the Syrians were fled, then fled they
also before Abishai, and entered into the
city. So Yoab returned from the children of
Ammon, and came to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
15 And when the Syrians saw that they
were smitten before Yah’sar’el (Israel),
they gathered themselves together.
16 And Hadad’ezer sent, and brought out
the Syrians that were beyond the river: and
they came to Helam; and Shobach the
commander of the host of Hadad’ezer went
before them.
17 And when it was told Dawud (David),
and passed over Yardan (Jordan), and
came to Helam. And the Syrians set
themselves in array against Dawud
(David), and fought with him.
18 And the Syrians fled before Yah’sar’el
(Israel); and Dawud (David) slew the men
of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians,
and forty thousand horsemen, and smote
Shobach the commander of their host, who
died there.
19 And when all the kings that were
servants to Hadad’ezer saw that they were
smitten before Yah’sar’el (Israel), they
made shalom (peace) with Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and served them. So the Syrians
feared to help the children of Ammon any
more.2

word to Dawud (David), and said, I am
pregnant.
6 And Dawud (David) sent to Yoab,
saying, Send me Uri’yah the Hittite. And
Yoab sent Uri’yah to Dawud (David).
7 And when Uri’yah was come to him,
Dawud (David) demanded of him how
Yoab did, and how the people did, and how
the war prospered.
8 And Dawud (David) said to Uri’yah, Go
down to your house, and wash your feet.1
And Uri’yah departed out of the king's
house, and there followed him a gift from
the king.
9 But Uri’yah slept at the door of the
king's house with all the servants of his
master, and went not to his house.
10 And when they had told Dawud
(David), saying, Uri’yah went not to his
house, Dawud (David) said to Uri’yah, Did
you not come from a journey? Why then
did you not go down to your house?
11 And Uri’yah said to Dawud (David),
The ark, and Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
Yahudah (Judah), abide in tents; and my
master Yoab, and the servants of my
master, are encamped in the open fields;
shall I then go into my house, to eat and to
drink, and to have sexual relations with my
wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I
will not do this thing.
12 And Dawud (David) said to Uri’yah,
stay here today also, and tomorrow I will let
you depart. So Uri’yah abode in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) that day, and
the day after.
13 And when Dawud (David) had called
him, he did eat and drink before him; and
he made him drunk: and at even he went
out to lie on his bed with the servants of his
master, but went not down to his house.
14 And it came to pass in the morning,
that Dawud (David) wrote a letter to Yoab,
1 Idiomatic expression here means to have sexual
intercourse with your wife.
and sent it by the hand of Uri’yah.
15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set
you Uri’yah in the thick of the battle, and
retreat from him, that he may be smitten,
and die.2
16 And it came to pass, when Yoab
observed the city, that he assigned Uri’yah
to a place where he knew that valiant men
were.
17 And the men of the city went out, and
fought with Yoab: and there fell some of
the people of the servants of Dawud
(David); and Uri’yah the Hittite died also.
18 Then Yoab sent and told Dawud
(David) all the things concerning the war;
19 And charged the messenger, saying,
When you have made an end of telling the
matters of the war to the king,
20 And if so be that the king's wrath
arises, and he says to you, why did you
approach so close to the city when you did
fight? Did you not know that they would
shoot from the wall?
21 Who smote Abimelech the son of
Yerubbesheth?3 Did not a woman cast a
piece of a millstone upon him from the wall
that he died in Thebez? Why did you go
near the wall? Then say, Your servant
Uri’yah the Hittite is dead also.
22 So the messenger went, and came
and showed Dawud (David) all that Yoab
had sent him for.
23 And the messenger said to Dawud
(David), Surely the men prevailed against

that he would go and have sexual intercourse with

him to die in battle so he could take his wife. The
love of a married woman causes many good men to
err even to this day and must be avoided with
prayer and fasting.

we were upon them even to the entering of

24 And the archers shot from off the wall
upon your servants; and some of the king's
servants be dead, and your servant Uri’yah
the Hittite is dead also.
25 Then Dawud (David) said to the
messenger, Thus shall you say to Yoab,
Let not this thing displease you, for the
sword devours one as well as another:
make your battle more strong against the
city, and overthrow it: and encourage him.
26 And when the wife of Uri’yah heard
that Uri’yah her husband was dead, she
mourned for her husband.
27 And when the mourning was past,
Dawud (David) sent and fetched her to his
house, and she became his wife, and gave
birth to a son. But the thing that Dawud
(David) had done displeased hwhy.1
Chapter 12
1 And hwhy sent Nathan to Dawud
(David). And he came to him, and said to
him, There were two men in one city; the
one rich, and the other poor.
2 The rich man had exceedingly many
flocks and herds:
3 But the poor man had nothing, save
one little ewe lamb, which he had bought
and nourished up: and it grew up together
with him, and with his children; it did eat of
his own meat, and drink of his own cup,
and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a
daughter.
4 And there came a traveller to the rich
man, and he spared to take of his own
flock and of his own herd, to dress for the
traveller that had come to visit him; but
took the poor man's lamb, and cooked it for
the man that came to visit him.
5 And Dawud (David)'s anger was greatly
1 This was the first act that really displeased YHWH.
He had given him all the wives he needed but this
thing was grievous to YHWH.
kindled against the man; and he said to
Nathan, As hwhy lives, the man that has
done this thing shall surely die:2
6 And he shall restore the lamb fourfold,3
because he did this thing, and because he
had no pity.
7 And Nathan said to Dawud (David),
You are the man.4 Thus says hwhy Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), I anointed you king
over Yah’sar’el (Israel), and I delivered you
out of the hand of Sha’ul;
8 And I gave you your master's house,
and the wives of your master5 into your
lap, and gave you the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) and of Yahudah (Judah); and if that
had been too little, I would moreover have
given to you more.6
2 This would have been YHWH’s pronouncement for
adultery for both King David and Bathsheba!
3 As per the Torah Exod 22:1.
4 For the sin (adultery and murder) David committed
he should have been stoned to death according to
Torah but YHWH was gracious because David knew
how to be merciful and love his enemies, even
enemy like Sha’ul who wanted to kill him, but he
forgave him and showed compassion and therefore
he was a person after YHWH’s own heart. We must
all learn from these episodes about compassion and
justice.
5 David was justified in taking plural wives as per
Torah and Israel’s custom. Even YHWH gave him
some wives that belonged to others one such one is
suggested is King Sha’ul’s wife Eglah (Second
Samuel 3:5) and Rizpah his concubine clearly after
the death of Sha’ul.
6 If King David lacked in wives then YHWH was able
to give him more women that he could make wives
but not commit adultery. Polygamy is Torah
sanctioned lifestyle irrespective of what today’s
errant scholars think. A man can have wives for
several purposes including sex for which there is no
shame as YHWH made sex not man and in a set-
apart marriage this is good. A husband must look
after his wives or stick to the one he can look after.
Plural wives are for those people who are able to
afford them and also are able to maintain them

28 Now therefore gather the rest of the
people together, and encamp against the
city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it
be called after my name.
29 And Dawud (David) gathered all the
people together, and went to Rabbah, and
fought against it, and took it.
30 And he took their king's crown from off
his head, the weight whereof was a talent
of gold with the precious stones: and it was
set on Dawud (David)'s head. And he
brought forth the spoil of the city in great

31 And he brought forth the people that
were therein, and put them under hard
labour with saws, and iron-picks, and iron-
axes, and made them work at the brick
kiln: and thus did he to all the cities of the
children of Ammon. So Dawud (David) and
all the people returned to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
Chapter 13
1 And it came to pass after this, that
Abshalom the son of Dawud (David) had a
fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and
Amnon the son of Dawud (David) loved
her.
2 And Amnon was so distressed, that he
became sick for his sister Tamar; for she
was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for
him to do anything to her.
3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name
was Yonadab, the son of Shimeah Dawud
(David)'s brother: and Yonadab was a very
crafty man.
4 And he said to him, Why do you, being
the king's son, are losing weight these
days? Will you not tell me? And Amnon
said to him, I love Tamar, my brother
Abshalom's sister.
5 And Yonadab said to him, you lay down
on your bed, and make yourself sick: and
when your father comes to see you, say to
him, I pray you, let my sister Tamar come,
and give me food, and dress the food in my
sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her
hand.
6 So Amnon lay down, and made himself
sick: and when the king came to see him,
Amnon said to the king, I pray you, let
Tamar my sister come, and make me a
couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat
at her hand.
5 The weight depends on whether this was a royal
talent or an ordinary talent. This would be 60 to 120
pounds of gold.
550
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
7 Then Dawud (David) sent home to
Tamar, saying, Go now to your brother
Amnon's house, and prepare him food.
8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's
house; and he was laid down. And she
took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes
in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
9 And she took a pan, and poured them
out before him; but he refused to eat. And
Amnon said, get everyone out of here. And
they went out every man from him.
10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the
food into the bedroom that I may eat of
your hand. And Tamar took the cakes
which she had made, and brought them
into the bedroom to Amnon her brother.
11 And when she had brought them to
him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to
her, Come and have sexual relations with
me, my sister.
12 And she answered him, No, my
brother, do not force me; for no such thing
ought to be done in Yah’sar’el (Israel): do
not do this foolishness.
13 And I, where shall I cause my shame
to go? And as for you, you shall be as one
of the fools in Yah’sar’el (Israel). Now
therefore, I pray you, speak to the king; for
he will not withhold me from you.1
14 But he would not hearken to her voice:
but, being stronger than she, forced her,
and slept with her.
15 Then Amnon hated her exceedingly;
so that the hatred wherewith he hated her
was greater than the love wherewith he
had loved her. And Amnon said to her,
Arise, be gone.
16 And she said to him, No I will not: this
evil in sending me away is greater than the
other that you did to me. But he would not
1 It is believed that she was the daughter of Maacah
who was married to another man before being King
David’s wife so this marriage could have taken place

David but adopted and converted into the faith.
551
hearken to her.
17 Then he called his servant that
ministered to him, and said, Put now this
woman out from me, and bolt the door after
her.
18 And she had a long robe upon her: for
with such robes were the king's daughters
that were virgins clothed. Then his servant
brought her out, and bolted the door after
her.
19 And Tamar put ashes on her head,
and tore her long robe that was on her, and
laid her hand on her head, and went on
crying.
20 And Abshalom her brother said to her,
Has Amnon your brother been with you?
But hold now your shalom (peace), my
sister: he is your brother; regard not this
thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her
brother Abshalom's house.
21 But when king Dawud (David) heard of
all these things, he was very angry.
22 And Abshalom spoke to his brother
Amnon neither good nor bad: for Abshalom
hated Amnon, because he had forced his
sister Tamar.
23 And it came to pass after two full
years, that Abshalom had sheepshearers
in Baal-Khatzor (Hazor), which is beside
Ephraim: and Abshalom invited all the
king's sons.
24 And Abshalom came to the king, and
said, Behold now, your servant has
sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech you,
and his servants go with your servant.
25 And the king said to Abshalom, No,
my son, let us not all now go, lest we be
too heavy to you. And he pressed him: but
he would not go, but blessed him.
26 Then said Abshalom, If not, I pray you,
let my brother Amnon go with us. And the
king said to him, Why should he go with
you?
27 But Abshalom pressed him that he let
Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
28 Now Abshalom had commanded his
servants, saying, observe now when
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and
when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then kill
him, fear not: have not I commanded you?
Be courageous, and be valiant.
29 And the servants of Abshalom did to
Amnon as Abshalom had commanded.
Then all the king's sons arose, and every
man got up upon his mule, and left.
30 And it came to pass, while they were
in the way, that news came to Dawud
(David), saying, Abshalom has slain all the
king's sons, and there is not one of them
left.
31 Then the king arose, and tore his
garments, and lay on the earth; and all his
servants stood by with their clothes torn.
32 And Yonadab, the son of Shimeah
Dawud (David)'s brother, answered and
said, Let not my master suppose that they
have slain all the young men the king's
sons; for only Amnon is dead: for by the
appointment of Abshalom this has been
determined from the day that he forced his
sister Tamar.
33 Now therefore let not my master the
king takes this thing to his heart, to think
that all the king's sons are dead: for only
Amnon is dead.
34 But Abshalom fled. And the young
man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes,
and looked, and, behold, there came much
people by the way of the hill side behind
him.
35 And Yonadab said to the king, Behold,
the king's sons come: as your servant said,
so it is.
36 And it came to pass, as soon as he
had made an end of speaking, that,
behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up
their voice and wept: and the king also and
all his servants wept very sore.
37 But Abshalom fled, and went to
Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of
Geshur. And Dawud (David) mourned for
his son every day.1
38 So Abshalom fled, and went to
Geshur, and was there three years.
39 And the soul of king Dawud (David)
longed to go forth to Abshalom: for he was
comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he
was dead.
Chapter 14
1 Now Yoab the son of Zeru’yah
perceived that the king's heart was toward
Abshalom.
2 And Yoab sent to Tekoah, and fetched
there a wise woman, and said to her, I pray
you, feign yourself to be a mourner, and
put on now mourning apparel, and do not
anoint yourself with oil, but be as a woman
that had a long time mourned for the dead:
3 And come to the king, and speak on
this manner to him. So Yoab put the words
in her mouth.
4 And when the woman of Tekoah spoke
to the king, she fell on her face to the
ground, and did bow down, and said, Help,
O king.
5 And the king said to her, What troubles
you? And she answered, I am indeed a
widow, and my husband is dead.
6 And your handmaid had two sons, and
they both fought with each other in the
field, and there was none to separate
them, but the one smote the other, and
killed him.
7 And, behold, the whole family is risen
against your handmaid, and they said,
Deliver him that smote his brother, that we
may kill him, for the life of his brother
whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir
also: and so they shall quench my coal2

 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
which is left, and shall not leave to my
husband neither name nor remainder upon
the earth.
8 And the king said to the woman, Go to
your house, and I will give orders
concerning you.
9 And the woman of Tekoah said to the
king, My master (adonai: Lord), O king, the
iniquity be on me, and on my father's
house: and the king and his throne be
guiltless.
10 And the king said, Whosoever says
anything to you, bring him to me, and he
shall not touch you anymore.
11 Then she said, I pray you, let the king
remember hwhy your Elohim, and that you
would not suffer the avenger of blood to
destroy any more, lest they destroy my
son. And he said, As hwhy lives, there
shall not one hair of your son fall to the
ground.
12 Then the woman said, Let your
handmaid, I pray you, speak one word to
my master the king. And he said, speak on.
13 And the woman said, Therefore then
have you thought such a thing against the
people of Elohim? For the king does speak
this thing as one which is at fault, in that
the king does not fetch home again his
banished.
14 Certainly we must die, and are as
mayim (water) spilt on the ground, which
cannot be gathered up again; neither does
Elohim respect any person: yet does he
devise means, that his banished be not
expelled from him.
15 Now therefore that I have come to
speak of this thing to my master the king, it
is because the people have made me
afraid: and your handmaid said I will now
speak to the king; it may be that the king
will perform the request of his handmaid.
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his
handmaid out of the hand of the man that
would destroy me and my son together out
of the inheritance of Elohim.
17 Then your handmaid said, The word of
553
my master the king shall now be my
security: for as an angel of Elohim, so is
my master the king to discern good and
bad: therefore hwhy your Elohim will be
with you.
18 Then the king answered and said to
the woman, Hide not from me, I pray you,
the thing that I shall ask you. And the
woman said; Let my master the king now
speak.
19 And the king said, Is not the hand of
Yoab with you in all this? And the woman
answered and said, As your soul lives, my
master the king, none can turn to the right
hand or to the left from anything that my
master the king has spoken: for your
servant Yoab, he commanded me, and he
put all these words in the mouth of your
handmaid:
20 To fetch about this form of speech has
your servant Yoab done this thing: and my
master is wise, according to the wisdom of
an angel of Elohim, to know all things that
are in the earth.
21 And the king said to Yoab, Behold
now, I have done this thing: go therefore;
bring the young man Abshalom again.
22 And Yoab fell to the ground on his
face, and bowed himself, and thanked the
king: and Yoab said, Today your servant
knows that I have found favour in your
sight, my master, O king, in that the king
has fulfilled the request of his servant.
23 So Yoab arose and went to Geshur,
and brought Abshalom to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
24 And the king said, Let him turn to his
own house, and let him not see my face.
So Abshalom returned to his own house,
and saw not the king's face.
25 But in all Yah’sar’el (Israel) there was
none to be so much praised as Abshalom
for his beauty: from the sole of his foot
even to the crown of his head there was no
blemish in him.
26 And when he would shave his head,
for it was at every year's end that he
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
shaved it: because the hair was heavy on
him, therefore he shaved it: he weighed the
hair of his head at two hundred shekels
after the king's weight.
27 And to Abshalom there were born
three sons, and one daughter, whose
name was Tamar: she was a beautiful
woman.
28 So Abshalom dwelt two full years in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and did not see
the king's face.
29 Therefore Abshalom sent for Yoab, to
have him sent to the king; but he would not
come to him: and when he sent again the
second time, he would not come.
30 Therefore he said to his servants,
See, Yoab's field is near my, and he has
barley there; go and set it on fire. And
Abshalom's servants set the field on fire.
31 Then Yoab arose, and came to
Abshalom to his house, and said to him,
Why have your servants set my field on
fire?
32 And Abshalom answered Yoab,
Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here,
that I may send you to the king, to say,
Why am I come from Geshur? It had been
good for me to have been there still: now
therefore let me see the king's face; and if
there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
33 So Yoab came to the king, and told
him: and when he had called for Abshalom,
he came to the king, and bowed himself on
his face to the ground before the king: and
the king kissed Abshalom.
Chapter 15
1 And it came to pass after this, that
Abshalom prepared him chariots and
horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 And Abshalom rose up early, and stood
beside the way of the gate: and it was so,
that when any man that had a controversy
came to the king for right-ruling, then
Abshalom called to him, and said, Of what
city are you? And he said, Your servant is
of one of the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
554
3 And Abshalom said to him, See, your
matters are good and right; but there is no
representative of the king to hear you.
4 Abshalom said moreover, Oh that I was
made judge in the land, that every man
which has any suit or cause might come to
me, and I would do him justice!
5 And it was so, that when any man came
near to him to bow before him, he put forth
his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
6 And on this manner did Abshalom to all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) that came to the king for
right-ruling: so Abshalom stole the hearts
of the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 And it came to pass after forty years,
that Abshalom said to the king, I pray you,
let me go and pay my vow, which I have
vowed to hwhy, in Hebron.
8 For your servant vowed a vow while I
abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If hwhy
shall bring me again indeed to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), then I will serve
hwhy.
9 And the king said to him, Go in shalom
(peace). So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10 But Abshalom sent spies throughout
all the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying,
As soon as you hear the sound of the
shofar, then you shall say, Abshalom
reigns in Hebron.
11 And with Abshalom went two hundred
men out of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), that
were called; and they went in their
simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
12 And Abshalom sent for Akhithop’el the
Gilonite, Dawud (David)'s counsellor, from
his city, even from Giloh, while he offered
sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong;
for the people increased continually with
Abshalom.
13 And there came a messenger to
Dawud (David), saying, The hearts of the
men of Yah’sar’el (Israel) are after
Abshalom.
14 And Dawud (David) said to all his
servants that were with him at
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), Arise, and let
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
us flee; for we shall not escape from
Abshalom: make speed to depart, lest he
overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon
us, and smite the city with the edge of the
sword.
15 And the king's servants said to the
king, Behold, your servants are ready to do
whatsoever my master the king shall
appoint.
16 And the king went forth, and all his
household after him. And the king left ten
women, which were concubines, to keep
the house.
17 And the king went forth, and all the
people after him, and waited in a place that
was far off.
18 And all his servants passed on beside
him; and all the Kerethites, and all the
Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred
men which came after him from Gath,
passed on before the king.1
19 Then said the king to Yittai the Gittite, Yahunathan (Jonathan) the son of
Why do you also go with us? Return to
your place, and abide with the king: for you
are a foreigner, and also an exile.
20 You came only yesterday, should I
then make you wander up and down with
us? Seeing I go as I must, you return, and
take back your brethren: mercy and truth
be with you.
21 And Yittai answered the king, and
said, As hwhy lives, and as my master the
king lives, surely in what place my master
the king shall be, whether in death or life,
even there also will your servant be.
22 And Dawud (David) said to Yittai, Go
and pass over. And Yittai the Gittite passed
over, and all his men, and all the little ones
that were with him.
23 And all the country wept with a loud
voice, and all the people passed over: the

who would not do any mutiny against the king. This
is why he hired them as a brigade in the event of a
local rebellion.
king also himself passed over the brook
Kidron, and all the people passed over,
toward the way of the wilderness.
24 And lo Tzadok also, and all the
Lewites were with him, bearing the ark of
the covenant of Elohim: and they set down
the ark of Elohim; and Ebyathar offered
sacrifices, until all the people had done
going out of the city.
25 And the king said to Tzadok, Carry
back the ark of Elohim into the city: if I shall
find favour in the eyes of hwhy, he will
bring me again, and show me both it, and
his dwelling:
26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in
you; behold, here am I, let him do to me as
seems good to him.
27 The king said also to Tzadok the
kohen (priest), Are not you a seer? Return
into the city in shalom (peace), and your
two sons with you, Achimaaz your son, and
Ebyathar.
28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the
wilderness, until there come word from you
to reaches me.
29 Tzadok therefore and Ebyathar carried
the ark of Elohim again to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem): and they waited there.
30 And Dawud (David) went up by the
ascent of Mount Olivet, and wept as he
went up, and had his head covered,2 and
he went barefoot: and all the people that
were with him covered every man his head
and they went up, weeping as they went
up.3
2 Head-coverings are compulsory. He was naked
feet to show submission to YHWH. He also had the
rod of Moses in his hand which he planted on the
Mount of Olives which grew into a tree on which the
Messiah Yahushua was hung and bled to death! Acts
5:30, Hebrews 13:12.
3 This part of David’s story parallels exactly with
Yahushua as he also went from Kidron valley to the
Mount of Olives with His disciples John 18:1. The

 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
31 And one told Dawud (David), saying,
Akhithop’el is among the conspirators with
Abshalom. And Dawud (David) said, O
hwhy, I pray you, turn the counsel of
Akhithop’el into foolishness.
32 And it came to pass, that when Dawud
(David) was come to the top of the Mount,
where he worshipped Elohim, behold,
Hushai the Archite came to meet him with
his coat torn, and dirt upon his head:
33 To whom Dawud (David) said, If you
leave with me, then you shall be a burden
to me:
34 But if you return to the city, and say to master's son? And Ziba said to the king,
Abshalom, I will be your servant, O king; as
I have been your father's servant
previously, so now I will also be your
servant: then may you for me defeat the
counsel of Akhithop’el.
35 And have you not there with you
Tzadok and Ebyathar the kohenim
(priests)? Therefore it shall be, that
whatever you shall hear out of the king's
house, you shall tell it to Tzadok and
Ebyathar the kohenim (priests).
36 Behold, they have there with them
their two sons, Achimaaz Tzadok's son,
and Yahunathan (Jonathan) Ebyathar's
son; and by them you shall send to me
every thing that you can hear.
37 So Hushai Dawud (David)'s friend
came into the city, and Abshalom came
into Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
Chapter 16
1 And when Dawud (David) was a little
past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the
servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a
couple of donkeys saddled, and upon them
two hundred loaves of lechem (bread), and
a hundred bunches of raisins, and an
hundred of summer fruits, and a container
of wine.
2 And the king said to Ziba, Why did you
bring these things? And Ziba said, The
donkeys are for the king's household to
ride on; and the lechem (bread) and
summer fruit for the young men to eat; and
the wine, that such as be weary in the
wilderness may drink.
3 And the king said, And where is your
Behold, he abides at Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem): for he said, Today shall the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) restores me the
kingdom of my father.
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold,
everything that belonged to Mephibosheth
is now yours. And Ziba said, I humbly
beseech you that I may find grace in your
sight, my master, O king.
5 And when king Dawud (David) came to
Bahurim, behold, there came out a man of
the family of the house of Sha’ul, whose
name was Shim’i, the son of Gera: he
came forth, and cursed still as he came.1
6 And he cast stones at Dawud (David),
and at all the servants of king Dawud
(David): and all the people and all the
mighty men were on his right hand and on
his left.
7 And thus said Shim’i when he cursed,

Benjamite who cursed and threw stones at David,

Father in heaven to reconcile Israel, while King
David wanted to reconcile His household. His own

(Rom 8: 28). King David showed a perfect example
of when you are fallen do not kick others as it
maybe a trial from the Master in Heaven even if the
others taunt you. YHWH keeps a record of all sins
through His angels that are appointed one left and
one right and no one can escape from their unpaid
sins. Mordecai was a descendant of Shimei, of the
house of Kish and ironically Mordecai had to deal
with Haman who was spared by Sha’ul’s failure to
follow YHWH’s instructions.

you man of Beliyaal:
8 hwhy has returned upon you all the
blood of the house of Sha’ul, in whose
place you have reigned; and hwhy has
delivered the kingdom into the hand of
Abshalom your son: and, behold, you are
taken in your mischief, because you are a
man of bloodshed.
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeru’yah
to the king, Why should this dead dog
curse my master the king? Let me go over,
I pray you, and take off his head.
10 And the king said, What do we have in
common, you sons of Zeru’yah? So let him
curse, because hwhy has said to him,
Curse Dawud (David). Who shall then say,
why have you done so?
11 And Dawud (David) said to Abishai,
and to all his servants, Behold, my son,
which came forth of my bowels, seeks my
life: how much more now may this
Benjamite does it? Let him alone, and let
him curse; for hwhy has spoken to him.
12 It may be that hwhy will look on my
affliction, and that hwhy will grant me good
for his cursing this day.
13 And as Dawud (David) and his men
went by the way, Shim’i went along on the
hill's side over against him, and cursed as
he went, and threw stones at him, and cast
dust.
14 And the king and all the people that
were with him, arrived exhausted at their
destination, and refreshed themselves
there.
15 And Abshalom, and all the people the
men of Yah’sar’el (Israel), came to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and Akhithop’el
with him.
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the
Archite, Dawud (David)'s friend, was come
to Abshalom, that Hushai said to
Abshalom, Elohim save the king, Elohim
save the king.
17 And Abshalom said to Hushai, Is this
your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not
557
go with your friend?
18 And Hushai said to Abshalom, No; but
whom hwhy, and this people, and all the
men of Yah’sar’el (Israel), choose, his will I
be, and with him will I abide.
19 And again, whom should I serve?
Should I not serve in the presence of his
son? As I have served in your father's
presence, so will I be in your presence.
20 Then said Abshalom to Akhithop’el,
Give counsel among you what we shall do.
21 And Akhithop’el said to Abshalom, Go
in to your father's concubines, which he
has left to keep the house; and all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall hear that you are
despised of your father: then shall the
hands of all that are with you be strong.
22 So they spread Abshalom a tent upon
the top of the house; and Abshalom went
in to his father's concubines in the sight of
all Yah’sar’el (Israel).
23 And the counsel of Akhithop’el, which
he counselled in those days, was as if a
man had enquired at the oracle of Elohim:
so was all the counsel of Akhithop’el both
with Dawud (David) and with Abshalom.1
Chapter 17
1 Moreover Akhithop’el said to Abshalom,
Let me now choose out twelve thousand
men, and I will arise and pursue after
Dawud (David) this night:
2 And I will come upon him while he is
exhausted and slack handed, and will
make him afraid: and all the people that
are with him shall run away; and I will kill
the king only:
3 And I will bring back all the people to
you: the man whom you seek is as if all
returned: so all the people shall be in
shalom (peace).
4 And the saying pleased Abshalom well,
and all the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
1 2 Samuel 12:11, here the prophecy of YHWH came
to pass.
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
5 Then said Abshalom, Call now Hushai
the Archite also, and let us hear likewise
what he says.
6 And when Hushai was come to
Abshalom, Abshalom spoke to him, saying,
Akhithop’el has spoken after this manner:
shall we do what he says? If not; you
speak.
7 And Hushai said to Abshalom, The
counsel that Akhithop’el has given is not
good at this time.
8 For, said Hushai, you know your father
and his men, that they be mighty soldiers,
and they be bitter in their minds, as
dangerous as a bear robbed of her cubs in
the field: and your father is an expert in
warfare, and will not stay overnight with the
army.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some cave, or
in some other place: and it will come to
pass, when he attacks our army first, that
whosoever hears it will say, There is a
slaughter among the people that follow
Abshalom.
10 And he also that is valiant, whose
heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly
melt: for all Yah’sar’el (Israel) knows that
your father is expert in warfare, and they
which be with him are brave men.
11 Therefore I counsel that all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) be generally gathered to you, from
Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is
by the sea for multitude; and that you go to
battle in your own person.
12 So shall we come upon him in some
place where he shall be found, and we will
descend upon him as the dew falls on the
ground: and of him and of all the men that
are with him there shall not one be left
alive.
1 King David was with the sort of men that were
trained in the jungle and desert and extremely
courageous and each man willing to give his life.
These are the sort of men you would want in a
king’s escort.
13 Moreover, if he has withdrawn into a
city, then shall all Yah’sar’el (Israel) bring
ropes to that city, and we will draw it into
the river, until there be not one pebble
found there.
14 And Abshalom and all the men of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) said, The counsel of
Hushai the Archite is better than the
counsel of Akhithop’el. For hwhy had
appointed to defeat the good counsel of
Akhithop’el, to the intent that hwhy might
bring evil upon Abshalom.
1 15 Then said Hushai to Tzadok and to
Ebyathar the kohenim (priests), Thus and
thus did Akhithop’el counsel Abshalom and
the elders of Yah’sar’el (Israel); and thus
and thus have I counselled.
16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell
Dawud (David), saying, Lodge not this
night in the plains of the wilderness, but
speedily pass over; lest the king be
swallowed up, and all the people that are
with him.2
17 Now Yahunathan (Jonathan) and
Achimaaz stayed by En-Rogel; for they
might not be seen to come into the city:
and a female servant went and told them;
and they went and told king Dawud
(David).
18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told
Abshalom: but they both left quickly, and
came to a man's house in Bahurim, which
had a well in its courtyard; where they went
down in it.
19 And his wife took and spread a
covering over the well's mouth, and spread
ground corn thereon; and no one was
aware of what she had done.3
20 And when Abshalom's servants came
to the woman to the house, they said,
Where is Achimaaz and Yahunathan
2 Hushai was still the king’s friend and acting as
double-agent to see what Abshalom was up to, he
was never against King David as was Akhithop’el.
3 Bahurim’s wife protected King David’s men.
558
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
(Jonathan)? And the woman said to them,
They are gone over the brook of mayim
(water). And when they had sought and
could not find them, they returned to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
21 And it came to pass, after they were
departed, that they came up out of the well,
and went and told king Dawud (David), and
said to Dawud (David), Arise, and pass
quickly over the mayim (water): for thus
has Akhithop’el counselled against you.
22 Then Dawud (David) arose, and all the
people that were with him, and they
passed over Yardan (Jordan): by the
morning light they had all crossed over the
Yardan (Jordan) river.
23 And when Akhithop’el saw that his
counsel was not followed, he saddled his
donkey, and arose, and went home to his
house, to his city, and put his household in
order, and hanged himself, and died, and
was buried in the sepulchre of his father.1
24 Then Dawud (David) came to
Mahanaim. And Abshalom passed over
Yardan (Jordan), he and all the men of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) with him.
25 And Abshalom made Amasa
commander of the army instead of Yoab:
Amasa was a man's son, whose name was
Yithra an Israelite that went in to Abigay’el
the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeru’yah
Yoab's mother.
26 So Yah’sar’el (Israel) and Abshalom
pitched in the land of Gilead.
27 And it came to pass, when Dawud
(David) was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi
the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the
children of Ammon, and Machir the son of
Ammi’el of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the

28 Brought beds, and basins, and pottery
utensils, and wheat, and barley, and flour,
and parched corn, and beans, and lentils,
and lentils,
29 And honey, and butter, and sheep,
and cheese from milk cows, for Dawud
(David), and for the people that were with
him, to eat: for they said, The people are
hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the
desert.
Chapter 18
1 And Dawud (David) numbered the
people that were with him, and set
commanders of thousands and
commanders of hundreds over them.
2 And Dawud (David) sent forth a third
part of the people under the hand of Yoab,
and a third part under the hand of Abishai
the son of Zeru’yah, Yoab's brother, and a
third part under the hand of Yittai the
Gittite. And the king said to the soldiers, I
will surely go forth with you myself also.
3 But the soldiers answered, You shall
not go forth: for if we will retreat, they will
not care for us; neither if half of us die, will
they care for us: but now you are worth ten
thousand of us: therefore now it is better
that you support us out from the city.
4 And the king said to them, Whatever
seems best to you I will do. And the king
stood by the gate side, and all the soldiers
came out by hundreds and by thousands.
5 And the king commanded Yoab and
Abishai and Yittai, saying, Deal gently for
my sake with the young man Abshalom.
And all the people heard when the king
gave all the commanders charge
concerning Abshalom.
6 So the soldiers went out into the field
against Yah’sar’el (Israel): and the battle
was in the forest of Ephraim;
7 Where the people of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
were slain before the servants of Dawud
(David), and there was there a great
slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.

running alone.
25 And the watchman cried, and told the
king. And the king said, If he be alone, then
he is bringing news. And he came apace,
and drew near.
26 And the watchman saw another man
running: and the watchman called to the
porter, and said, Behold another man
running alone. And the king said, He also
brings news.
27 And the watchman said, I think the
running of the foremost is like the running
of Achimaaz the son of Tzadok. And the
king said, He is a good man, and comes
with good news.
28 And Achimaaz called, and said to the
king, All is well. And he fell down to the
ground upon his face before the king, and
said, Blessed be hwhy your Elohim, which
has delivered up the men that lifted up their
hand against my master the king.
29 And the king said, Is the young man
Abshalom safe? And Achimaaz answered,
When Yoab sent the king's servant and me
your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I
knew not what it was.
30 And the king said to him, Turn aside,
and stand here. And he turned aside, and
stood still.
31 And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi
said, receive news, my master the king: for
hwhy has avenged you this day of all them
that rose up against you.
32 And the king said to Cushi, Is the
young man Abshalom safe? And Cushi
answered, The enemies of my master the
king, and all that rebel against you to do
you harm, be as that young man is.
33 And the king was very upset, and went
up to the chamber over the gate, and wept:
and as he went, thus he said, O my son
Abshalom, my son, my son Abshalom!
would Elohim I had died for you, O
Abshalom, my son, my son!
561
Chapter 19
1 And it was told Yoab, Behold, the king
weeps and mourns for Abshalom.
2 And the victory that day was turned into
mourning to all the people: for the people
heard say that day how the king was
grieved for his son.
3 And that day the people stole away into
the city, as people being embarrassed
steal away when they retreat in battle.
4 But the king covered his face, and the
king cried with a loud voice, O my son
Abshalom, O Abshalom, my son, my son!
5 And Yoab came into the house to the
king, and said, You have shamed this day
the faces of all your servants, which this
day have saved your life, and the lives of
your sons and of your daughters, and the
lives of your wives, and the lives of your
concubines;
6 In that you love your enemies, and hate
your friends. For you have declared this
day, that you regard neither princes nor
servants: for this day I perceive, that if
Abshalom had lived, and all we had died
this day, then it had pleased you well.
7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and
encourage your servants: for I swear by
hwhy, if you go not forth, there will not stay
one with you this night: and that will be
worse to you than all the evil that befell you
from your youth until now.
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the
gate. And they told to all the people,
saying, Behold, the king does sit in the
gate. And all the people came before the
king: for Yah’sar’el (Israel) had fled every
man to his tent.
9 And all the people were at strife
throughout all the tribes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), saying, The king saved us out of
the hand of our enemies, and he delivered
us out of the hand of the Plushtim
(Philistines); and now he is fled out of the
land for Abshalom.
10 And Abshalom, whom we anointed
over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
why do you not hesitate to bring the king
back?
11 And king Dawud (David) sent to
Tzadok and to Ebyathar the kohenim
(priests), saying, Speak to the elders of
Yahudah (Judah), saying, Why are you the
last to bring the king back to his house?
Seeing the speech of all Yah’sar’el (Israel)
has come to the king, even to his house.
12 You are my brethren, you are my
bones and my flesh: Therefore then are
you the last to bring back the king?
13 And say you to Amasa, Are you not of
my bone, and of my flesh? Elohim do so to
me and more also, if you be not
commander of the host before me
continually in the room of Yoab.
14 And he bowed the heart of all the men
of Yahudah (Judah), even as the heart of
one man; so that they sent this word to the
king, Return you, and all your servants.
15 So the king returned, and came to
Yardan (Jordan). And Yahudah (Judah)
came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to
conduct the king over Yardan (Jordan).
16 And Shim’i the son of Gera, a
Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted
and came down with the men of Yahudah
(Judah) to meet king Dawud (David).
17 And there were a thousand men of
Benyamin (Benjamin) with him, and Ziba
the servant of the house of Sha’ul, and his
fifteen sons and his twenty servants with
him; and they went over the Yardan
(Jordan) river before the king.
18 And there went over a ferry boat to
carry over the king's household, and to do
what he thought well. And Shim’i the son of
Gera fell down before the king, as he was
come over Yardan (Jordan);
19 And said to the king, Let not my
master impute iniquity to me, neither do
you remember that which your servant did
perversely the day that my master the king
went out of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), that
the king should take it to his heart.
20 For your servant does know that I
562
have sinned: therefore, behold, I come the
first this day of all the house of Yosef to go
down to meet my master the king.
21 But Abishai the son of Zeru’yah
answered and said, Shall not Shim’i be put
to death for this, because he cursed
hwhy's anointed?
22 And Dawud (David) said, What have I
to do with you, you sons of Zeru’yah, that
you should this day be adversaries to me?
Shall there any man be put to death this
day in Yah’sar’el (Israel)? For do not I
know that I am this day king over
Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
23 Therefore the king said to Shim’i, You
shall not die. And the king gave him an
oath.
24 And Mephibosheth the son of Sha’ul
came down to meet the king, and had
neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his
beard,1 nor washed his clothes, from the
day the king departed until the day he
came again in shalom (peace).
25 And it came to pass, when he was
come to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to meet
the king, that the king said to him, Why did
you not go with me, Mephibosheth?
26 And he answered, My master, O king,
my servant deceived me: for your servant
said, I will saddle me on a donkey, that I
may ride thereon, and go to the king;
because your servant is lame.
27 And he has slandered your servant to
my master the king; but my master the king
is as an angel of Elohim: do therefore what
is good in your eyes.
28 For all of my father's house were but
dead men before my master the king: yet
did you set your servant among them that
did eat at your own table. Therefore, what
further claim do I have to make to the king?
29 And the king said to him, Why should
1 Note beards are normal with Israel; the exception
was not having a beard, which was mainly in the
heathen people.
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
you speak of this matter? I have said, You
and Ziba divide the land.
30 And Mephibosheth said to the king,
Yes, let him take all, forasmuch as my
master the king is come again in shalom
(peace) to his own house.
31 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down
from Rogelim, and went over Yardan
(Jordan) with the king, to conduct him over
Yardan (Jordan).
32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man,
even eighty years old: and he had provided
the king with sustenance while he lay at
Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
33 And the king said to Barzillai, You
come over with me, and I will feed you with
me in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
34 And Barzillai said to the king, How
long have I to live, that I should go up with
the king to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)?
35 I am this day eighty years old: and can
I discern between good and bad? Can your
servant taste what I eat or what I drink?
Can I hear anymore the voice of singing
men and singing women? Why then should
your servant be yet a burden to my master
the king?
36 Your servant will go a little way over
Yardan (Jordan) with the king: and why
should the king recompense me with such
a reward?
37 Let your servant, I pray you, turn back
again, that I may die in my own city, and be
buried by the grave of my father and of my
mother. But behold your servant Kimham;
let him go over with my master the king;
and do to him what shall seem good to
you.
38 And the king answered, Kimham shall
go over with me, and I will do to him that
which shall seem good to you: and
whatsoever you shall require of me, that
will I do for you.
39 And all the people went over Yardan
(Jordan). And when the king was come
over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed
him; and he returned to his own place.
40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and
Kimham went on with him: and all the
people of Yahudah (Judah) conducted the
king, and also half the people of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
41 And, behold, all the men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) came to the king, and said to the
king, Why have our brethren the men of
Yahudah (Judah) sneak the king away,
and have brought the king, and his
household, and all Dawud (David)'s men
with him, over Yardan (Jordan)?
42 And all the men of Yahudah (Judah)
answered the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
Because the king is near of kin to us: Why
then are you angry for this matter? Have
we eaten at all of the king's cost? Or has
he given us any gift?
43 And the men of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
answered the men of Yahudah (Judah),
and said, We have ten shares in the king,
and we have also more right in Dawud
(David) than you: why then did you despise
us, that our advice should not be first had
in bringing back our king? And the words of
the men of Yahudah (Judah) were fiercer
than the words of the men of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).1
Chapter 20
1 And there happened to be there a man
of Beliyaal,2 whose name was Sheba, the
son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a
shofar, and said, We have no part in
Dawud (David), neither have we

2 So every man of Yah’sar’el (Israel)

 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
16 Then a wise woman called out of the
city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, to Yoab,
Come near here, that I may speak with
you.
17 And when he was come near to her,
the woman said, Are you Yoab? And he
answered, I am he. Then she said to him,
Hear the words of your handmaid. And he
answered, I do hear.
18 Then she spoke, saying, in the past
they would say, They shall enquire at Abel:
and this way so they settled their matters.
19 I am one of them that are peaceable
and faithful in Yah’sar’el (Israel): you seek
to destroy a city and a mother in Yah’sar’el
(Israel): why will you swallow up the
inheritance of hwhy?
20 And Yoab answered and said, Far be
it, far be it from me that I should swallow
up or destroy.
21 The matter is not so: but a man of
Mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by
name has lifted up his hand against the
king, even against Dawud (David): deliver
him only, and I will depart from the city.
And the woman said to Yoab, Behold, his
head shall be thrown to you over the wall.
22 Then the woman went to all the
people in her wisdom. And they cut off the
head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it
out to Yoab. And he blew a shofar, and
they retreated from the city, every man to
his tent. And Yoab returned to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to the king.
23 Now Yoab was commander over all
the armies of Yah’sar’el (Israel): and
Bena’yah the son of Yahuyada (Yahoiada)
was over the Kerethites and over the
Pelethites:
24 And Adoram was over the tribute: and
Yahushafat the son of Akhilud was
recorder:
25 And Shewa was scribe: and Tzadok
and Ebyathar were the kohenim (priests):
26 And Yira also the Yairite was a chief
ruler about Dawud (David).
565
Chapter 21
1 Then there was a famine in the days of
Dawud (David) three years, year after year;
and Dawud (David) enquired of hwhy. And
hwhy answered, It is for Sha’ul, and for his
house of bloodshed, because he slew the
Gibeonites.
2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and
said to them; now the Gibeonites were not
of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), but of
the remnant of the Amorites; and the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) had sworn to
them: and Sha’ul sought to slay them in his
zeal to the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
and Yahudah (Judah).
3 Therefore Dawud (David) said to the
Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And
how shall I make the atonement that you
may bless the inheritance of hwhy?
4 And the Gibeonites said to him, We will
take no silver nor gold of Sha’ul, nor of his
house; neither for us shall you kill any man
in Yah’sar’el (Israel). And he said, What do
you say, that I should do for you.
5 And they answered the king, The man
that consumed us, and that devised
against us that we should be destroyed
from remaining in any of the coasts of
Yah’sar’el (Israel),
6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered
to us, and we will hang them up to hwhy in
Gibeah of Sha’ul, whom hwhy did choose.
And the king said, I will give them.
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the
son of Yahunathan (Jonathan) the son of
Sha’ul, because of hwhy's oath that was
between them, between Dawud (David)
and Yahunathan (Jonathan) the son of
Sha’ul.
8 But the king took the two sons of
Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, whom she
bare to Sha’ul, Armoni and Mephibosheth;
and the five sons of Michal the daughter of
Sha’ul, whom she brought up for Adri’el the
son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
9 And he delivered them into the hands of
the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
the hill before hwhy: and they fell all seven
together, and were put to death in the days
of harvest, in the first days, in the
beginning of barley harvest.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Ayah took
sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the
1
rock, from the beginning of the harvest
until rain fell on them, and suffered neither
the birds of the air to rest on them by day,
nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 And it was told Dawud (David) what
Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, the
concubine of Sha’ul, had done.
12 And Dawud (David) went and took the
bones of Sha’ul and the bones of
Yahunathan (Jonathan) his son from the
men of Yabesh-Gilead, which had stolen
them from the street of Beyth-shan, where
the Plushtim (Philistines) had hanged
them, when the Plushtim (Philistines) had
slain Sha’ul in Gilboa:
13 And he brought up from there the
bones of Sha’ul and the bones of
Yahunathan (Jonathan) his son; and they
gathered the bones of them that were
hanged.
14 And the bones of Sha’ul and
Yahunathan (Jonathan) his son buried they
in the country of Benyamin (Benjamin) in
Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father:
and they performed all that the king
commanded. And after that Elohim
responded to their prayers for the land.
15 Moreover the Plushtim (Philistines)
had yet war again with Yah’sar’el (Israel);
and Dawud (David) went down, and his
servants with him, and fought against the
Plushtim (Philistines): and Dawud (David)
became exhausted.
16 And Ishbi-benob, which was of the
sons of the giant, the weight of whose
spear weighed three hundred shekels of

brass in weight, he being girded with a new
sword, thought to kill Dawud (David).
17 But Abishai the son of Zeru’yah came
to his aid, and smote the Philistine, and
killed him. Then the men of Dawud (David)
swore to him, saying, You shall go no more
out with us to battle, that you extinguish not
the light of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
18 And it came to pass after this, that
there was again a battle with the Plushtim
(Philistines) at Gob: then Sibbechai the
Hushathite slew Saph, who was of the
sons of the giant.
19 And there was again a battle in Gob
with the Plushtim (Philistines), where
Elhanan the son of Yair,2 a Bethlehemite,
slew the brother of Golyath (Goliath) the
Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a
weaver's beam.
20 And there was yet a battle in Gath,
where was a man of great stature, that had
on every hand six fingers, and on every
foot six toes, twenty-four in number; and he
also was descended from Rafa (giants).
21 And when he defied Yah’sar’el
(Israel), Yahunathan (Jonathan) the son of
Shim’a the brother of Dawud (David) slew
him.
22 These four were born to the Rafa
(giants) in Gath, and fell by the hand of
Dawud (David), and by the hand of his
servants.3
Chapter 22
1 And Dawud (David) spoke to hwhy the
words of this song in the day that hwhy
had delivered him out of the hand of all his
enemies, and out of the hand of Sha’ul:
2 And he said, hwhy is my rock, and my
fortress, and my deliverer;
3 The Elohim of my rock; in him will I

3 These are 5 brothers of Goliath whose race was

566
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my
deliverance, my high tower, and my refuge,
my saviour; you saved me from violence.
4 I will call on hwhy, who is worthy to be
praised: so shall I be saved from my
enemies.
5 When the waves of death compassed
me, the floods of wicked men made me
afraid;
6 The sorrows of hell compassed me
about; the snares of death prevented me;
7 In my distress I called upon hwhy, and
cried to my Elohim: and he did hear my
voice out of his Temple, and my cry did
enter into his ears.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the
foundations of shamayim (heavens) moved
and shook, because he was angry.
9 There went up a smoke out of his
nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured:
coals were kindled by it.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and
came down; and darkness was under his
feet.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did
fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the
wind.
12 And he made darkness pavilions
round about him, dark waters, and thick
clouds of the skies.
13 Through the brightness before him
were coals of fire kindled.
14 hwhy thundered from shamayim
(heavens), and the most High uttered his
voice.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered
them; lightning, and confused them.
16 And the channels of the sea
appeared; the foundations of the world
were discovered, at the rebuking of hwhy,
at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 He sent from above, he took me; he
drew me out of many waters;
18 He delivered me from my strong
enemy, and from them that hated me: for
they were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my
567
calamity: but hwhy was my stay.
20 He brought me forth also into a large
place:1 he delivered me, because he
delighted in me.
21 hwhy rewarded me according to my
righteousness:2 according to the cleanness
of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 For I have kept the ways3 of hwhy,
and have not wickedly departed from my
Elohim.
23 For all his judgments were before me:
and as for his statutes, I did not depart
from them.4
24 I was also upright before him, and
have kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Therefore hwhy has recompensed me
according to my righteousness; according
to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 With the merciful you will show
yourself merciful, and with the upright man
you will show yourself upright.
27 With the pure you will show yourself
pure; and with the crooked you will show
yourself twisted.
28 And the afflicted people you will save:
but your eyes are upon the proud, that you
may bring them down.
29 For you are my lamp, O hwhy: and
hwhy will lighten my darkness.
30 For by you I have charge through an
army: by my Elohim have I leaped over a
wall.
31 As for El, his way is perfect; the word
of hwhy is tried: he is a buckler to all them
that trust in him.
32 For who is El, save hwhy? And who is
a rock, save our Elohim?
33 El is my strength and power: and he

makes my way perfect.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of deer:
and sets me upon my high places.
35 He teaches my hands to war; so that a
bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 You have also given me the shield of
your deliverance: and your gentleness has
made me great.
37 You have enlarged my steps under
me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 I have pursued my enemies, and
destroyed them; and turned not again until
I had consumed them.
39 And I have consumed them, and
wounded them, that they could not arise:
yes, they are fallen under my feet.
40 For you have girded me with strength
to battle: them that rose up against me
have you subdued under me.
41 You have also given me the necks of
my enemies, that I might destroy them that
hate me.
42 They looked, but there was none to
save; even to hwhy, but he answered them
not.
43 Then did I beat them as small as the
dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the
mire of the street, and did spread them
abroad.
44 You also have delivered me from the
strivings of my people; you have kept me
to be head of the nations: a people whom I
knew not shall serve me.1
45 Strangers shall submit themselves to
me: as soon as they hear, they shall be
obedient to me.
46 Strangers shall fade away, and they
shall be afraid out of their close places.

enemies: you also have lifted me up on
high above them that rose up against me:
you delivered me from a violent man.
50 Therefore I will give thanks to you, O
hwhy, among the nations, and I will sing
praises to your name.
51 He is the tower of deliverance for his
king: and shows mercy to his anointed, to
Dawud (David), and to his seed
forevermore.
Chapter 23
1 Now these are the last words of Dawud
(David). Dawud (David) the son of Yishai
(Jesse) said, and the man who was raised
up on high, the anointed of the Elohim of
Ya’acob (Jacob), and the sweet psalmist of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), said,
2 The Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy spoke by
me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 The Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) said,
the Rock of Yah’sar’el (Israel) spoke to me,
He that rules over men must be just, ruling
in the fear of Elohim.
4 And he shall be as the light of the
morning, when the sun rises, even a
morning without clouds; as the tender
grass springing out of the earth by clear
shining after rain.
5 Although my house be not so with El;
yet he has made with me an everlasting
covenant, ordered in all things, and sure:
for this is all my deliverance, and all my
desire, although he makes it not to grow.
6 But the sons of Beliyaal shall be all of
them as thorns thrust away, because they
cannot be taken with hands:
7 But the man that shall touch them must
be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear;
and they shall be utterly burned with fire in
the same place.
8 These are the names of the mighty men
whom Dawud (David) had: The
Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief
among the commanders; the same was
Adino the Eznite: he lifts up his spear
against eight hundred, whom he slew at
 Second Samuel (Schmuel Bet)
one time.
9 And after him was Eli’ezer the son of
Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty
men with Dawud (David), when they defied
the Plushtim (Philistines) that were there
gathered together to battle, and the men of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) were gone away:
10 He arose, and smote the Plushtim
(Philistines) until his hand was weary, and
his hand clave to the sword: and hwhy
wrought a great victory that day; and the
people returned after him only to spoil.
11 And after him was Shammah the son
of Agee the Hararite. And the Plushtim
(Philistines) were gathered together into an
army, where was a piece of ground full of
lentils: and the people fled from the
Plushtim (Philistines).
12 But he stood in the midst of the
ground, and defended it, and slew the
Plushtim (Philistines): and hwhy wrought a
great victory.
13 And three of the thirty chief went
down, and came to Dawud (David) in the
harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and
the army of the Plushtim (Philistines)
pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14 And Dawud (David) was then in a
stronghold, and the garrison of the
Plushtim (Philistines) was then in Beyth-
lechem (Bethlehem).
15 And Dawud (David) longed, and said,
Oh that one would give me drink of the
mayim (water) of the well of Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem), which is by the gate!
16 And the three mighty men broke
through the army of the Plushtim
(Philistines), and drew mayim (water) out
of the well of Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem),
that was by the gate, and took it, and
brought it to Dawud (David): nevertheless
he would not drink thereof, but poured it
out to hwhy.
17 And he said, be it far from me, O
hwhy, that I should do this: is not this the
blood of the men that went in jeopardy of
their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. Yashen, Yahunathan (Jonathan),
569
These things did these three mighty men.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Yoab, the
son of Zeru’yah, was chief among three.
And he lifted up his spear against three
hundred, and slew them, and had the
name among three.
19 Was he not most honourable of three?
Therefore he was their commander: but he
was not one of the three.
20 And Bena’yah the son of Yahuyada
(Yahoiada), the son of a valiant man, of
Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he
slew two lion like men of Moab: he went
down also and slew a lion in the midst of a
pit in time of snow:
21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly
man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his
hand; but he went down to him with a staff,
and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's
hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22 These things did Bena’yah the son of
Yahuyada (Yahoiada), and had the name
among three mighty men.
23 He was more honourable than the
thirty, but he attained not to the first three.
And Dawud (David) set him over his guard.
24 Asah’el the brother of Yoab was one
of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of
Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem),
25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the
Harodite,
26 Helets the Paltite, Yira the son of
Ikkesh the Tekoite,
27 Abi’ezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai
the Hushathite,

Chapter 24
1 And again the anger of hwhy was
kindled against Yah’sar’el (Israel) and he
moved Dawud (David) against them to say,
Go, number Yah’sar’el (Israel) and
Yahudah (Judah).
2 For the king said to Yoab the
commander of the armies, which was with
him, Go now through all the tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), from Dan even to
Beersheba, and number the people, that I
may know the number of the people.
3 And Yoab said to the king, Now hwhy
your Elohim add to the people, whatsoever
they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes
of my master the king may see it: but why
does my master the king delight in this
thing?
4 Notwithstanding the king's word
prevailed against Yoab, and against the
commanders of the host. And Yoab and
the commanders of the host went out from
the presence of the king, to number the
people of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 And they passed over Yardan (Jordan),
and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of
the city that lies in the midst of the river of
Gawd, and toward Yazer:
6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the
land of Tahtim-hodshi; and they came to
Dan-jaan, and about to Sidon,
570
7 And came to the stronghold of Tsor
(Tyre), and to all the cities of the Hivites,
and of the Canaanites: and they went out
to the south of Yahudah (Judah), even to
Beersheba.
8 So when they had gone through all the
land, they came to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) at the end of nine months and
twenty days.
9 And Yoab gave up the sum of the
number of the people to the king: and there
were in Yah’sar’el (Israel) eight hundred
thousand valiant men that drew the sword;
and the men of Yahudah (Judah) were five
hundred thousand men.
10 And Dawud (David)'s heart smote him
after that he had numbered the people.
And Dawud (David) said to hwhy, I have
sinned greatly in that I have done: and
now, I beseech you, O hwhy; take away
the iniquity of your servant; for I have done
very foolishly.
11 For when Dawud (David) was up in
the morning, the word of hwhy came to the
prophet Gawd, Dawud (David)'s seer,
saying,
12 Go and say to Dawud (David), Thus
says hwhy, I offer you three things; you
choose one of them, that I may do it to you.
13 So Gawd came to Dawud (David), and
told him, and said to him, Shall seven
years of famine come to you in your land?
Or will you flee three months before your
enemies, while they pursue you? Or that
there be three days' pestilence in your
land? Now advise, and see what answer I
shall return to him that sent me.
14 And Dawud (David) said to Gawd, I
am in a great distress: let us fall now into
the hand of hwhy; for his mercies are
great: and let me not fall into the hand of
man.
15 So hwhy sent a pestilence upon
Yah’sar’el (Israel) from the morning even to
the time appointed: and there died of the
people from Dan even to Beersheba
seventy thousand men.

have done wickedly: but these sheep, what
have they done? Let your hand, I pray you,

house.
18 And Gawd came that day to Dawud
(David), and said to him, Go up, rear an
altar to hwhy in the threshing floor of
Araunah the Yebusite.
19 And Dawud (David), according to the
saying of Gawd, went up as hwhy
commanded.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king
and his servants coming toward him: and
Araunah went out, and bowed himself
before the king on his face upon the
ground.
21 And Araunah said, Why is my master

(David) said, To buy the threshing floor

plague may be stayed from the people.
22 And Araunah said to Dawud (David),
Let my master the king take and offer up
what seems good to him: behold, here be
oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing
instruments and other instruments of the
oxen for wood.
23 All these things did Araunah, as a
king, give to the king. And Araunah said to 1 David paid for the threshing floor (Temple mount),

1 Now king Dawud (David) was old and
stricken in years; and they covered him
with clothes, but he could not get warm.
2 Therefore his servants said to him, Let
there be sought for my master the king a
young virgin: and let her stand before the
king, and let her cherish him, and let her
lie in your bosom, that my master the king
may get warm.
3 So they sought for a fair damsel
throughout all the coasts of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and found Abishag a
Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
4 And the damsel was very fair, and
cherished the king, and ministered to him:
but the king knew her not.
5 Then Adoni’yah the son of Haggith
exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and
he prepared him chariots and horsemen,
and fifty men to run before him.
6 And his father had not displeased him
at any time in saying, Why have you done
so? And he also was a very goodly man;
and his mother gave him birth after
Abshalom.
7 And he conferred with Yoab the son of
Zeru’yah, and with Ebyathar the kohen
(priest): and they following Adoni’yah
helped him.
8 But Tzadok the kohen (priest), and
Bena’yah the son of Yahuyada
(Yahoiada), and Nathan the prophet, and
Shim’i, and Rei, and the mighty men
which belonged to Dawud (David), were
not with Adoni’yah.
572
9 And Adoni’yah slew sheep and oxen
and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth,
which is by En-rogel, and called all his
brethren the king's sons, and all the men
of Yahudah (Judah) the king's servants:
10 But Nathan the prophet, and
Bena’yah, and the mighty men, and
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) his brother, he
called not.
11 Therefore Nathan spoke to Batsheba
(Bathsheba) the mother of Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), saying, Have you not heard
that Adoni’yah the son of Haggith does
reign, and Dawud (David) our master
knows it not?
12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray
you, give your counsel, that you may
save your own life, and the life of your
son Sul’ahmon (Solomon).
13 Go to king Dawud (David), and say
to him, Did you not, my master, O king,
swear to your handmaid, saying,
Assuredly Sul’ahmon (Solomon) your son
shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon
my throne? Why then does Adoni’yah
reign?
14 Behold, while you yet talk there with
the king, I also will come in after you, and
confirm your words.
15 And Batsheba (Bathsheba) went in
to the king into the chamber: and the king
was very old; and Abishag the
Shunammite ministered to the king.
16 And Batsheba (Bathsheba) bowed,
and paid homage to the king. And the
king said, What do you desire?
17 And she said to him, My master, you
swore by hwhy your Elohim to your
handmaid, saying, Assuredly Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) your son shall reign after me,
and he shall sit upon my throne.
18 And now, behold, Adoni’yah reigns;
and now, my master the king, you know it
not:
19 And he has slain oxen and fat cattle
and sheep in abundance, and has called
all the sons of the king, and Ebyathar the
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
kohen (priest), and Yoab the commander
of the armies: but Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
your servant he has not called.
20 And you, my master, O king, the
eyes of all Yah’sar’el (Israel) are upon
you, that you should tell them who shall
sit on the throne of my master the king
after him.
21 Otherwise it shall come to pass,
when my master the king shall sleep with
his ahvot (fathers), that I and my son
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) shall be counted
offenders.
22 And, lo, while she yet talked with the
king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
23 And they told the king, saying,
Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he
was come in before the king, he bowed
himself before the king with his face to
the ground.
24 And Nathan said, My master, O king,
have you said, Adoni’yah shall reign after
me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
25 For he is gone down this day, and
has slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in
abundance, and has called all the king's
sons, and the commanders of the armies,
and Ebyathar the kohen (priest); and,
behold, they eat and drink before him,
and say, Elohim save king Adoni’yah.
26 But me, even me your servant, and
Tzadok the kohen (priest), and Bena’yah
the son of Yahuyada (Yahoiada), and
your servant Sul’ahmon (Solomon), has
he not called.
27 Is this thing done by my master the
king, and you have not showed it to your
servant, who should sit on the throne of
my master the king after him?
28 Then king Dawud (David) answered
and said, Call me Batsheba (Bathsheba).
And she came into the king's presence,
and stood before the king.
29 And the king swore, and said, As
hwhy lives, that has redeemed my soul
out of all distress,
30 Even as I swore to you by hwhy
573
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying,
Assuredly Sul’ahmon (Solomon) your son
shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon
my throne in my place; even so will I
certainly do this day.
31 Then Batsheba (Bathsheba) bowed
with her face to the ground, and did
reverence to the king, and said, Let my
master king Dawud (David) live forever.
32 And king Dawud (David) said, Call
me Tzadok the kohen (priest), and
Nathan the prophet, and Bena’yah the
son of Yahuyada (Yahoiada). And they
came before the king.
33 The king also said to them, Take with
you the servants of your master, and
cause Sul’ahmon (Solomon) my son to
ride upon my own mule, and bring him
down to Gihon:
34 And let Tzadok the kohen (priest)
and Nathan the prophet anoint him there
king over Yah’sar’el (Israel): and blow
with the shofar, and say, Elohim save the
king Sul’ahmon (Solomon).
35 Then you shall come up after him,
that he may come and sit upon my
throne; for he shall be king in my place:
and I have appointed him to be ruler over
Yah’sar’el (Israel) and over Yahudah
(Judah).
36 And Bena’yah the son of Yahuyada
(Yahoiada) answered the king, and said,
Amein: hwhy Elohim of my master the
king say so too.
37 As hwhy has been with my master
the king, even so be he with Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), and make his throne greater
than the throne of my master king Dawud
(David).
38 So Tzadok the kohen (priest), and
Nathan the prophet, and Bena’yah the
son of Yahuyada (Yahoiada), and the
Kerethites, and the Pelethites, went
down, and caused Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
to ride upon king Dawud (David)'s mule,
and brought him to Gihon.
39 And Tzadok the kohen (priest) took
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and
anointed Sul’ahmon (Solomon). And they
blew the shofar; and all the people said,
Elohim save the king Sul’ahmon
(Solomon).
40 And all the people came up after
him, and the people played the flutes,
and rejoiced with great joy, so that the
ground shook with the noise of them.
41 And Adoni’yah and all the guests
that were with him heard it as they had
made an end of eating. And when Yoab
heard the sound of the shofar, he said,
Why is this noise of the city being in an
uproar?
42 And while he yet spoke, behold,
Yahunathan (Jonathan) the son of
Ebyathar the kohen (priest) came: and
Adoni’yah said to him, Come in; for you
are a valiant man, and bring good tidings.
43 And Yahunathan (Jonathan)
answered and said to Adoni’yah, Verily
our master king Dawud (David) has made
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) king.
44 And the king has sent with him
Tzadok the kohen (priest), and Nathan
the prophet, and Bena’yah the son of
Yahuyada (Yahoiada), and the
Kerethites, and the Pelethites, and they
have caused him to ride upon the king's
mule:
45 And Tzadok the kohen (priest) and
Nathan the prophet have anointed him
king in Gihon: and they have come up
from there rejoicing, so that the city is in
an uproar again. This is the noise that
you have heard.
46 And also Sul’ahmon (Solomon) sits
on the throne of the kingdom.
47 And moreover the king's servants
came to bless our master king Dawud
(David), saying, Elohim make the name
of Sul’ahmon (Solomon) better than your
name, and make his throne greater than
your throne. And the king bowed himself
upon the bed.
48 And also thus said the king, Blessed
574
be hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
which has given one to sit on my throne
this day, my eyes even seeing it.
49 And all the guests that were with
Adoni’yah were afraid, and rose up, and
went every man his way.
50 And Adoni’yah feared because of
Sul’ahmon (Solomon), and arose, and
went, and caught hold on the horns of the
altar.1
51 And it was told Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), saying, Behold, Adoni’yah
fears king Sul’ahmon (Solomon): for, lo,
he has caught hold on the horns of the
altar, saying, Let king Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) swear to me this day that he
will not slay his servant with the sword.
52 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) said, If he
will show himself a worthy man, there
shall not a hair of him fall to the ground:
but if wickedness shall be found in him,
he shall die.
53 So king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) sent,
and they brought him down from the altar.
And he came and bowed himself to king
Sul’ahmon (Solomon): and Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) said to him, Go to your house.
Chapter 2
1 Now the days of Dawud (David) drew
near that he should die; and he charged
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) his son, saying,
2 I go the way of all the earth: be you
strong therefore, and show yourself a
man;
3 And keep the charge of hwhy your
Elohim, to walk in his ways,2 to keep his
statutes, and his commandments, and his
judgments, and his testimonies, as it is
written in the Torah of Musa (Moses), that
you may prosper in all that you do, and
1 Adoni’yah knew his crime and now held on the
horns for asylum because he could be killed for
treason for usurping the throne.
2 Keep His Torah and be obedient to it.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
wherever you turn yourself:
4 That hwhy may continue his word
which he spoke concerning me, saying, If
your children take heed to guard their
way, to walk before me in truth with all
their heart and with all their soul, there
shall not cease a man on the throne of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 Moreover you know also what Yoab
the son of Zeru’yah did to me, and what
he did to the two commanders of the
armies of Yah’sar’el (Israel), to Abner the
son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of
Yether, whom he slew, and shed the
blood of war in shalom (peace), and put
the blood of war upon his girdle that was
about his loins, and in his shoes that
were on his feet.
6 Do therefore according to your
wisdom, and do not let him live long and
die a peaceful death.
7 But show kindness to the sons of
Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of
those that eat at your table: for so they
came to me when I fled because of
Abshalom your brother.
8 And, behold, you have with you Shim’i
the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim,
which cursed me with a grievous curse in
the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he
came down to meet me at Yardan
(Jordan), and I swore to him by hwhy,
saying, I will not put you to death with the
sword.1
9 And now therefore do not let him
escape: for you are a wise man, and
know what you aught to do with him; you
shall bring his gray hair down to the grave
1 Like King David we are commanded by YHWH to
honour our oaths in YHWH’s name. This is the sign
of a righteous man versus a wicked one. David
would not slay him but his son would. Sin has a
price as stated earlier, the curse of death is upon
that person in this life who curses YHWH’s
anointed and this is the crime here that was
committed.
575
with a bloody death.
10 So Dawud (David) slept with his
ahvot (fathers), and was buried in the city
of Dawud (David).
11 And the days that Dawud (David)
reigned over Yah’sar’el (Israel) were forty
years: he reigned seven years in Hebron,
and thirty three years he reigned in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
12 Then sat Sul’ahmon (Solomon) upon
the throne of Dawud (David) his father;
and his kingdom were established
greatly.
13 And Adoni’yah the son of Haggith
came to Batsheba (Bathsheba) the
mother of Sul’ahmon (Solomon). And she
said, do You come in peace? And he
said, Peaceably.
14 He added, I have something to say
to you. And she said, Speak on.
15 And he said, You know that the
kingdom was mine, and that all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) set their faces on me, that I
should reign: but the kingdom is turned
about, and is become my brother's: for it
was his from hwhy.
16 And now I ask one petition of you,
deny me not. And she said to him, Speak
on.
17 And he said, Speak, I pray you, to
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) the king, for he will
not refuse you, that he give me Abishag
the Shunammite to wife.
18 And Batsheba (Bathsheba) said,
Well; I will speak for you to the king.
19 Batsheba (Bathsheba) therefore
went to king Sul’ahmon (Solomon), to
speak to him for Adoni’yah. And the king
rose up to meet her, and bowed himself
to her, and sat down on his throne, and
caused a seat to be set for the king's
mother; and she sat on his right hand.
20 Then she said, I desire one small
petition of you; I pray you, do not refuse
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
Me.1 And the king said to her, Ask on, my
mother: for I will not say No to you.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the
Shunammite be given to Adoni’yah your
brother to be wife.
22 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
answered and said to his mother, And
now why do you ask for Abishag the
Shunammite for Adoni’yah? Ask for him
the kingdom also; for he is my elder
brother; even for him, and for Ebyathar
the kohen (priest), and for Yoab the son
of Zeru’yah.
23 Then king Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
swore by hwhy, saying, Elohim do so to
me and more also, if Adoni’yah does not
pay for this request with his own life.2
24 Now therefore, as hwhy lives, who
has established me, and set me on the
throne of Dawud (David) my father, and
who has made me a house, as he
promised, Adoni’yah shall be put to death
this day.
25 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) sent
by the hand of Bena’yah the son of
Yahuyada (Yahoiada); and he struck him
that he died.
26 And to Ebyathar the kohen (priest)
said the king, Go to Anathoth, to your
own fields; for you are worthy of death:
but I will not at this time put you to death,
because you carry the ark of the Master
hwhy before Dawud (David) my father,
and because you have suffered in all the
difficult times with my father.
27 So Sul’ahmon (Solomon) expelled
Ebyathar from being kohen (priest) to
hwhy; that he might fulfill the word of the
1 Clearly Bathsheba had no understanding of
Torah, but her son Solomon did. It was a sin and a
crime for Abishag to be given to Adoni’yah
because she was King David’s wife.
2 Death was the correct sentence for such a
request. The Torah forbids marriages to your step-
mother. Leviticus 18:8.
576
hwhy, which he spoke concerning the
house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 Then news reached to Yoab: for
Yoab had supported Adoni’yah, though
he did not support Abshalom. And Yoab
fled to the tabernacle of hwhy, and
caught hold on the horns of the altar.3
29 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) was
informed that Yoab fled to the tabernacle
of hwhy; and, behold, he is by the altar.
Then Sul’ahmon (Solomon) sent
Bena’yah the son of Yahuyada
(Yahoiada), saying, Go, strike him down.
30 And Bena’yah came to the
tabernacle of hwhy, and said to him,
Thus says the king, Come forth. And he
said, No; but I will die here. And Bena’yah
brought the king word again, saying,
Thus said Yoab, and thus he answered
me.
31 And the king said to him, Do as he
has said, and strike him down, and bury
him; that you may take away the innocent
blood, which Yoab shed, from me, and
from the house of my father.
32 And hwhy shall return his blood
upon his own head, who fell upon two
men more righteous and better than he,
and slew them with the sword, my father
Dawud (David) not knowing thereof,
Abner the son of Ner, commander of the
armies of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and Amasa
the son of Yether, commander of the
armies of Yahudah (Judah).
33 Their blood shall therefore return
upon the head of Yoab, and upon the
head of his descendants forever: but
upon Dawud (David), and upon his
descendants, and upon his house, and
upon his throne, shall there be shalom
(peace) forever from hwhy.
34 So Bena’yah the son of Yahuyada
(Yahoiada) went up, and struck him, and
3The same fate of death was awaiting Yoab, he
was living on borrowed time.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
killed him: and he was buried in his own
house in the wilderness.
35 And the king put Bena’yah the son of
Yahuyada (Yahoiada) in his place over
the armies: and Tzadok the kohen (priest)
the king put in the place of Ebyathar.
36 And the king sent and called for
Shim’i, and said to him, Build yourself a
house in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
dwell there, and do not go from there
anywhere else.
37 For it shall be that on the day you go
out, and pass over the brook Kidron, you
shall know for certain that you shall surely
die: your blood shall be upon your own
head.
38 And Shim’i said to the king, The
saying is good: as my master the king
has said, so will your servant do. And
Shim’i dwelt in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
many days.
39 And it came to pass at the end of
three years that two of the servants of
Shim’i ran away to Akish son of Maachah
king of Gath. And they told Shim’i, saying,
Behold, your servants be in Gath.
40 And Shim’i arose, and saddled his
donkey, and went to Gath to Akish to
seek his servants: and Shim’i went, and
brought his servants from Gath.
41 And it was told Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
that Shim’i had gone from Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) to Gath, and had returned.
42 And the king sent and called for
Shim’i, and said to him, Did I not make
you swear by hwhy, and solemnly
warned you, saying, Know for a certain,
on the day you go out, and walk outside
anywhere, that you shall surely die? And
you said to me, The word that I have
heard is good.
43 Why then have you not kept the oath
of hwhy, and the commandment that I
have charged you with?
44 The king said also to Shim’i, You
know all the wickedness which your heart
has known, that you did to Dawud (David)
577
my father: therefore hwhy shall return
your wickedness upon your own head;
45 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) shall
be blessed, and the throne of Dawud
(David) shall be established before hwhy
forever.
46 So the king commanded Bena’yah
the son of Yahuyada (Yahoiada); which
went out, and struck him down, that he
died. And the kingdom was established in
the hand of Sul’ahmon (Solomon).1
Chapter 3
1 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) made an
alliance by marriage with Pharaoh king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and took Pharaoh's
daughter, and brought her into the city of
Dawud (David), until he had made an end
of building his own house, and the house
of hwhy, and the wall of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) roundabout.
2 Only the people sacrificed in high
places, because there was no house yet
built to the name of hwhy, in those days.
3 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) loved2
hwhy, walking in the statutes of Dawud
(David) his father: only he sacrificed and
burnt incense in high places.
4 And the king went to Gibeon to
sacrifice there; for that was the great high
place: a thousand burnt offerings did
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) offer upon that
altar.
5 In Gibeon hwhy appeared to
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) in a dream by
night: and Elohim said, Ask what I shall
give you.
6 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) said, You
have showed to your servant Dawud
(David) my father great mercy, as he
walked before you in truth, and in
1 Right-ruling was swift
2 Showing even as a young man he was fully
obedient to Torah just like his father.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
righteousness, and in uprightness of
heart with you; and you have kept for him
this great kindness, that you have given
him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this
day.
7 And now, O hwhy my Mighty One,
you have made your servant king instead
of Dawud (David) my father: and I am but
a little child: I know not how to go out or
come in.
8 And your servant is in the midst of
your people whom you have chosen, a
great people that cannot be numbered
nor counted for multitude.
9 Give therefore your servant an
understanding heart to judge your people
that I may discern between good and
bad: for who is able to judge this your
great people?
10 And the speech pleased the Master,
that Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had asked this
thing.
11 And Elohim said to him, Because
you have asked this thing, and have not
asked for yourself long life; neither have
asked riches for yourself, nor have asked
the life of your enemies; but have asked
for yourself understanding to discern
right-ruling;
12 Behold, I have done according to
your words: lo, I have given you a wise
and an understanding heart; so that there
was none like you before you, neither
after you shall any arise like to you.
13 And I have also given you that which
you have not asked, both riches, and
honour: so that there shall not be any
among the kings like to you all your days.
14 And if you will walk in my ways, to
guard my statutes and my
commandments, as your father Dawud
(David) did walk, then I will extend your

should obey Torah and not abrogate it as many
have done before us.
578
life.1
15 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) awoke;
and, behold, it was a dream. And he
came to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
stood before the ark of the covenant of
hwhy, and offered up burnt offerings, and
offered shalom (peace) offerings, and
made a feast to all his servants.
16 Then there came two harlots, to the
king, and stood before him.
17 And the one woman said, O my
master, I and this woman dwell in one
house; and I gave birth to a baby with her
in the house.
18 And it came to pass the third day
after that I gave birth, that this woman
gave birth also: and we were together;
there was no foreigner with us in the
house, save us two in the house.
19 And this woman's baby died in the
night; because she rolled on top of him.
20 And she arose at midnight, and took
my son from beside me, while your
handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom,
and laid her dead child in my bosom.
21 And when I rose in the morning to
give my baby milk, behold, it was dead:
but when I had considered it in the
morning, behold, it was not my son,
which I did bear.
22 And the other woman said, No; but
the living is my son, and the dead is your
son. And I said, No; but the dead is your
son, and the living is my son. Thus they
spoke before the king.
23 Then said the king, The one says,
This is my son that lives, and your son is
dead: and the other says, No; but your
son is dead, and my son is the one alive.
24 And the king said, Bring me a sword.
And they brought a sword before the
king.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
25 And the king said, Divide the living
child in two, and give half to the one, and
half to the other.
26 Then spoke the woman whose son
he was to the king, for she had
compassion upon her son, and she said,
O my master, give her the living child,
and do not kill him. But the other said, Let
it be neither mine nor your, but divide it.
27 Then the king answered and said,
Give her the living child, and in no wise
slay it: she is the mother.
28 And all Yah’sar’el (Israel) heard of
the right-ruling which the king had judged;
and they feared the king: for they saw
that the wisdom of Elohim was in him, to
do right-ruling.
Chapter 4
1 So king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) was
king over all Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 And these were the princes which he
had; Azar’yah the son of Tzadok the
kohen (priest),
3 Elihoreph and Akhi’yah, the sons of
Shisha, scribes; Yahushafat the son of
Akhilud, the recorder.
4 And Bena’yah the son of Yahuyada
(Yahoiada) was over the armies: and
Tzadok and Ebyathar were the kohenim
(priests):
5 And Azar’yah the son of Nathan was
over the officers: and Zabud the son of
Nathan was principal officer, and the
king's friend:
6 And Akhishar was over the household:
and Adoniram the son of Abda was over
the tribute.
7 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had twelve
district governors over all Yah’sar’el
(Israel), which provided supplies for the
king and his household: each man his
month in a year made provision.
8 And these are their names: The son of
Hur, in Mount Ephraim:
9 The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in
Shaalbim, and Beyth-shemesh, and Elon-
1 Euphrates
579
Beyth-Chanan:
10 Ben-Khesed, in Aruboth; to him
controlled Sokho, and all the land of
Chepher:
11 The son of Abinadab, in all the
region of Dor; which had Taphath the
daughter of Sul’ahmon (Solomon) to wife:
12 Baana the son of Akhilud; to him
pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all
Beyth-shean, which is by Zartanah
beneath Yizre’el (Jezreel), from Beyth-
shean to Abel-meholah, even to the place
that is beyond Yokneam:
13 The son of Geber, in Ramoth-Gilead;
to him pertained the towns of Yair the son
of Manashsheh, which are in Gilead; to
him also pertained the region of Argob,
which is in Bashan, threescore great
cities with walls and brazen bars:
14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had
Mahanaim:
15 Achimaaz was in Naphtali; he also
took Basmath the daughter of Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) to wife:
16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in
Asher and in Aloth:
17 Yahushafat the son of Paruah, in
Yah’sachar (Issachar):
18 Shim’i the son of Elah, in Benyamin
(Benjamin):
19 Geber the son of Uri was in the
country of Gilead, in the country which
once belonged to Sihon king of the
Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and
he was the only governor which was in
the land.
20 Yahudah (Judah) and Yah’sar’el
(Israel) were many, as the sand which is
by the sea in multitude, eating and
drinking, and making merry.
21 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) reigned
over all kingdoms from the river1 to the
land of the Plushtim (Philistines), and to
the border of Mitzrayim (Egypt): they
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
brought presents, and served Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) all the days of his life.
22 And Sul’ahmon’s (Solomon) supply
for one day was thirty kors of fine flour,
and sixty kors of meal,
23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of
the pastures, and a hundred sheep,
beside deers, and rams, and gazelles,
and fatted fowl.
24 For he had dominion over all the
region on this side the river, from Tiphsah
even to Azzah (Gaza), over all the kings
on this side the river: and he had shalom
(peace) on all sides roundabout him.
25 And Yahudah (Judah) and Yah’sar’el
(Israel) dwelt safely, each man under his
vine and under his fig etz (tree), from Dan
even to Beersheba, all the days of
Sul’ahmon (Solomon).1
26 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had forty
thousand stalls of horses for his chariots,
and twelve thousand horsemen.
27 And these district governors, each
one in his month provided supplies for
king Sul’ahmon (Solomon), and for all
that came to king Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s
table, each man his allotted quota: they
lacked nothing.
28 They brought Barley also and straw
for the horses and the steeds, to the
place where the governors were, every
man according to his quota.
29 And Elohim gave Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) wisdom and understanding
exceedingly great, and a big heart, even
as the sand that is on the seashore.
30 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s wisdom
excelled the wisdom of all the children of
the east country, and all the wisdom of

vernacular Hebrew but by the ancient Hebrew it

Mitzrayim (Egypt).
31 For he was wiser than all men; than
Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and
Kalkol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol:
and his fame was in all nations round
about.2
32 And he spoke three thousand
proverbs: and his songs were one
thousand and five.
33 And he produced manuals
describing every kind of plant of etzim
(trees), from the cedar etz (tree) that is in
Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs
out of the wall: he produced manuals on
biology also describing beasts, and of
fowl, and of creeping things, and of
fishes.
34 And there came of all people to hear
the wisdom of Sul’ahmon (Solomon),
from all kings of the earth, which had
heard of his wisdom.3
Chapter 5
1 And Hiram king of Tsor (Tyre) sent his
servants to Sul’ahmon (Solomon); for he
had heard that they had anointed him
king in the place of his father: for Hiram
had always been an ally of Dawud
(David).
2 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) sent to
Hiram, saying,

Abraham, and Heman as Moses, and Chalcol as
Joseph. These are also mentioned as the sons of
Zerah in First Chronicles 2:6.
3 All doesn’t means the whole world – note here
only the nations roundabout came not all the world
came to hear Solomon’s wisdom. We do not hear
that the Chinese came since they had an extensive
history of existence and culture, we do not hear of
the Indians coming nor do we hear of the
aborigines coming to hear. We do know that Israel
went to Israel and had an extensive spice trade.
The spices of India did get around and likewise
today India and Pakistan two major exporters of
their spices.

3 You know how that Dawud (David) my
father could not build a house to the
name of hwhy1 his Elohim for he was
busy fighting battles on every front, until
hwhy put them under the soles of his
feet.
4 But now hwhy my Elohim has given
me security on every front, so that there
is neither adversary nor any dangerous
threat.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build a
house to the name of hwhy my Elohim,
as hwhy spoke to Dawud (David) my
father, saying, Your son, whom I will set
upon your throne in your place, he shall
build a house to my name.2
6 So now order that they cut me cedar
etzim (trees) out of Lebanon; and my
servants shall be with your servants: and
to you will I give hire for your servants
according to all that you shall appoint: for
you know that there is no one among us
that has this skill to cut timber like the
Sidonians.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram
heard the words of Sul’ahmon (Solomon),
that he rejoiced greatly, and said,
Blessed be hwhy this day, which has
given to Dawud (David) a wise son over
this great people.
8 And Hiram sent to Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), saying, I have considered the
things which you sent to me for: and I will
do all your desire concerning timber of
cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9 My servants shall bring them down
from Lebanon to the sea: and I will
convey them by sea in floats to the place
that you shall appoint me, and will cause

them to be discharged there, and you
shall receive them: and you shall
accomplish my desire, in giving food for
my household.3
10 So Hiram gave Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
cedar etzim (trees) and fir etzim (trees)
according to all his desire.
11 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) gave
Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat for
food to his household, and twenty
thousand baths of pressed Olive oil:4 thus
gave Sul’ahmon (Solomon) to Hiram year
by year.
12 And hwhy gave Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) wisdom, as he promised him:
and there was shalom (peace) between
Hiram and Sul’ahmon (Solomon); and
they both made a covenant together.
13 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
raised a workforce out of all Yah’sar’el
(Israel); and the workforce was thirty
thousand men.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten
thousand a month by courses: a month
they were in Lebanon, and two months at
home: and Adoniram was supervisor over
the workforce.
15 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had
seventy thousand that common
labourers, and eighty thousand
stonecutters in the mountains;
16 Beside the three thousand three
hundred officials of Sul’ahmon
(Solomon)'s which supervised the work,
these ruling over the people that laboured
in the work.
17 And the king commanded, and they
brought great stones, costly stones, and
hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the
Temple.
18 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s builders

and Hiram's builders did cut them, and
the stone squarers: so they prepared
timber and stones to build the Temple.
Chapter 6
1 And it came to pass in the four
hundred and eightieth year after the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) were come
out of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), in the
fourth year of Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s
reign over Yah’sar’el (Israel), in the
month Zif,1 which is the second month,
that he began to build the Temple of
hwhy.
2 And the Temple which king Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) built for hwhy, the length was
ninety feet long, thirty feet wide, and
forty-five feet high.
3 And the main hall of the Temple was
thirty feet, long; the corresponding width
was fifteen feet wide, extending out from
the front of the Temple.
4 And for the Temple he made framed
windows.
5 And against the wall of the house he
built extensions roundabout, against the
walls of the house roundabout, both of
the Temple and of the oracle: and he
made side rooms’ roundabout the place:
6 The bottom floor of the extension was
seven and a half feet wide, and the
middle was nine feet wide, and the third
floor was ten and a half feet wide: for the
outer walls of the Temple he made
offsets, that the beams should not be
fastened in the walls of the Temple.
7 And the house, when it was in
building, was built of stone made ready at
the quarry before they were brought
there: so that there was neither hammer
nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the

house, while it was in building.2
8 The entrance to the bottom level of
the side rooms was in the south side of
the Temple: and there went up winding
stairs into the middle floor and out of the
middle into the third.
9 So he built the Temple, and finished it;
and covered the house with beams and
boards of cedar.
10 And then he built an extension all
around the Temple, seven and a half feet
high: and they rested on the house with
timber of cedar.
11 And the word of hwhy came to
Sul’ahmon (Solomon), saying,
12 Concerning this Temple which you
are in building, if you will walk in my
statutes, and execute my judgments, and
keep all my commandments to walk in
them; then will I perform my word with
you, which I spoke to Dawud (David) your
father:
13 And I will dwell among the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and will not forsake my
people Yah’sar’el (Israel).
14 So Sul’ahmon (Solomon) built the
Temple, and finished it.
15 And he built the walls of the Temple
within with cedar planks, both the floor of
the house, and the walls of the ceiling:
and he paneled the inside with wood, and
covered the floor of the house with planks
of fir (evergreens).
16 And he built a wall thirty feet in from
the rear of the Temple, both the floor and
the walls with planks of cedar: he even
built them for it within, even for the inner
sanctuary, the most Set-Apart place.
17 And the main hall before the Temple
was sixty feet long.
18 And the cedar of the house within
2 No iron tool was heard at the Temple site
because iron represents war and there can be no
fighting/quarrelling along with worship/praise in
YHWH’s house simultaneously.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
was carved with round ornaments and
open flowers: all was cedar; there was no
stone visible.
19 And the inner sanctuary he prepared
in the Temple within, to set there the ark
of the covenant of hwhy.
20 And the inner sanctuary was thirty
feet in length, and thirty feet in width, and
thirty feet in the height: and he overlaid it
with pure gold; and also covered the altar
which was of cedar.
21 So Sul’ahmon (Solomon) overlaid
the Temple within with pure gold: and he
hung golden chains before the inner
sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 And the whole Temple he overlaid
with gold, until he had finished all the
Temple: also the whole altar that was by
the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
23 And within the inner sanctuary he
made two Cherubims of olive etz (tree),
each fifteen feet high.1
24 And seven and a half feet was the
one wing of the cherub, and seven and a
half feet the other wing of the cherub:
from the uttermost part of the one wing to
the uttermost part of the other were
fifteen feet.
25 And the other cherub was fifteen
feet: both the Cherubims were of one
measure and one size.
26 The height of the one cherub was
fifteen feet, and so was it of the other
cherub.
27 And he set the Cherubims within the
inner house: and they stretched forth the
wings of the Cherubims, so that the wing
of the one touched the one wall, and the
wing of the other cherub touched the
other wall; and their wings touched one
another in the midst of the house.
28 And he overlaid the Cherubims with
gold.
29 And he carved all the walls of the
1 Representing both Houses of Israel.
583
house round about with carved figures of
Cherubims and palm etzim (trees) and
open flowers, within and without.
30 And the floor of the Temple he
overlaid with gold, inside and out.
31 And for the entering of the oracle he
made doors of olive etz (tree): the lintel
and side posts were a fifth part of the
wall.
32 The two doors also were of olive etz
(tree); and he carved upon them carvings
of Cherubims and palm etzim (trees) and
open flowers, and overlaid them with
gold, and spread gold upon the
Cherubims, and upon the palm etzim
(trees).
33 So also made he for the door of the
Temple posts of olive etz (tree), a fourth
part of the wall.
34 And the two doors were of fir etz
(tree): the two leaves of the one door
were folding, and the two leaves of the
other door were folding.
35 And he carved thereon Cherubims
and palm etzim (trees) and open flowers:
and covered them with gold fitted upon
the carved work.
36 And he built the inner court with
three rows of hewed stone, and a row of
cedar beams.
37 In the fourth year was the foundation
of the house of hwhy laid, in the month
Zif:
38 And in the eleventh year, in the
month Bul, which is the eighth month,
was the Temple finished throughout all
the parts thereof, and according to all the
fashion of it. So was he seven years in
building it.2
2 The cost of this Temple according to our time
was 50 billion dollars. King Solomon had a big
heart.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
Chapter 7
1 But Sul’ahmon (Solomon) was
building his own house thirteen years,
and he finished all his house.
2 He built also the house of the forest of
Lebanon; the length thereof was a
hundred and fifty feet long by seventy-five
feet wide, and the height thereof forty-five
feet, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with
cedar beams upon the pillars.
3 And it was covered with cedar above
upon the beams that lay on forty five
pillars, fifteen in a row.
4 And there were windows in three
rows, and light was against light in three
ranks.
5 And all the doors and posts were
square, with the windows: and light was
against light in three ranks.
6 And he made a porch of pillars; the
length thereof was seventy-five feet long,
and the breadth thereof forty-five feet:
and the porch was before them: and the
other pillars and the thick beam were
before them.
7 Then he made a porch for the throne
where he might judge, even the porch of
right-ruling: and it was covered with cedar
from one side of the floor to the other.
8 And his house where he dwelt had
another court within the porch, which was
of the like work. Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
made also a house for Pharaoh's
daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like
to this porch.
9 All these were of costly stones,
according to the measures of hewed
stones, sawed with saws, inside and out,
even from the foundation to the coping,
and so on the outside toward the great
court.
10 And the foundation was of costly
stones, even great stones, stones of ten
cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
11 And above were costly stones, after
the measures of hewed stones, and
cedars.
584
12 And the great court roundabout was
with three rows of hewed stones, and a
row of cedar beams, both for the inner
court of the house of hwhy, and for the
porch of the house.
13 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) sent
and fetched Hiram out of Tsor (Tyre).
14 He was a widow's son of the tribe of
Naphtali, and his father was a man of
Tsor (Tyre), a worker in brass: and he
was filled with wisdom, and
understanding, and skilled to work all
works in brass. And he came to king
Sul’ahmon (Solomon), and wrought all his
work.
15 For he cast two pillars of brass, of
twenty-seven feet high each: and a
circumference of eighteen feet.
16 And he made two tops of molten
brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars:
the height of the one top was seven and
a half feet, and the height of the other
chapiter was also seven and half feet:
17 And nets of checker work, and
wreaths of chain work, for the tops which
were upon the top of the pillars; seven for
the one chapiter, and seven for the other
chapiter.
18 And he made the pillars, and two
rows round about upon the one network,
to cover the tops that were upon the top,
with pomegranates:1 and so did he for the
other top.
19 And the tops that were upon the top
of the pillars were of lily work in the
porch, six feet high.
20 And the tops upon the two pillars had
pomegranates also above, over against
the belly which was by the network: and
the pomegranates were two hundred in
rows round about upon the other tops.
1 Pomegranate was a holy fruit in the Temple
which represents fruit that we produce in our life.
It is said that a fully mature pomegranate has 613
seeds in it which parallels 613 mitzovts of Torah.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
21 And he set up the pillars in the porch
of the hekal: and he set up the right pillar,
and called the name thereof Yakin: and
he set up the left pillar, and called the
name thereof Boaz. 1 30 And every base had four brazen
22 And upon the top of the pillars was
lily work: so was the work of the pillars
finished.
23 And he also made a large bronze
basin called the sea; It measured fifteen
feet from rim to rim, was shaped like a
circle, and stood seven-and-a-half feet
high. Its circumference was forty-five feet.
24 And under the brim of it roundabout
there were knops compassing it, fifteen
feet, compassing the sea roundabout: the
knops were cast in two rows, when it was
cast.
25 It stood upon twelve oxen,2 three
looking toward the north, and three
looking toward the west, and three
looking toward the south, and three
looking toward the east: and the sea was
set above upon them, and they all faced
outward.
26 And it was a hand breadth thick, and
the brim thereof was wrought like the
brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it
could hold about twelve thousand gallons
of water.
27 And he made ten stands of brass; six
feet long, and six feet wide, and four and
a half feet height.
28 And the work of the bases was on
this manner: they had borders, and the
borders were between the ledges:
29 And on the borders that were
between the ledges were lions, oxen, and
1 Yakin means to establish and Boaz means
strength. We see a promise to over comers in Rev
2: 12 to be a pillar in the Temple of Elohim. These

Cherubims: and upon the ledges there
was a base above: and beneath the lions
and oxen were certain additions made of
thin work.
wheels, and plates of brass: and the four
corners thereof had under setters: under
the laver were under setters molten, at
the side of every addition.
31 And the mouth of it within the
chapiter and above was a food and a
half: but the mouth thereof was round
after the work of the base, two and one-
quarter feet long: and also upon the
mouth of it were engravings with their
borders, foursquare, not round.
32 And under the borders were four
wheels; and the crossbars of the wheels
were joined to the base: and the height of
a wheel was a two and one-quarter feet
high.
33 And the work of the wheels was like
the work of a chariot wheel: their
crossbars, and their naves, and their
felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.
34 And there were four under setters to
the four corners of one base: and the
under setters were of the very base itself.
35 And in the top of the base was there
a round compass of three quarters of a
foot deep: and on the top of the base the
ledges thereof and the borders thereof
were of the same.
36 For on the plates of the ledges
thereof, and on the borders thereof, he
graved Cherubims, lions, and palm etzim
(trees), according to the proportion of
every one, and additions round about.
37 After this manner he made the ten
bases: all of them had one casting, one
measure, and one size.
38 Then made he ten lavers of brass:
one laver contained two hundred and
forty gallons of water: and every laver
was six feet in diameter: and upon every
one of the ten bases one laver.
39 And he put five bases on the right
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
side of the Temple, and five on the left
side of the Temple: and he set the sea on
the south side of the Temple eastward
over against the south.
40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the
shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made
an end of doing all the work that he made
king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) for the Temple
of hwhy:
41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of
the tops that were on the top of the two
pillars; and the two networks, to cover the
two bowls of the tops which were upon
the top of the pillars;
42 And four hundred pomegranates for
the two networks, even two rows of
pomegranates for one network, to cover
the two bowls of the tops that were upon
the pillars;
43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on
the bases;
44 and one sea and twelve oxen under
the sea;
45 And the pots, and the shovels, and
the basins: and all these vessels, which
Hiram made to king Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) for the house of hwhy, were of
bright brass.1
1 Moses made one laver, brazen, golden
altar and menorah for the tabernacle but
Solomon made10 replicas, as there were
so many priests ministering in the
Temple. -10 smaller menorahs with each having
7 branches so we have 10x7 =70 lamps burning in

–120 singers/trumpeters were standing on the
steps of the Temple
46 In the plain of Yardan (Jordan) did
the king cast them, in the clay ground
between Succoth and Zarthan.
47 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) left all the
vessels without weighing, because they
were exceedingly many: neither was the
weight of the brass found out.
48 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) made all
the vessels that pertained to the Temple
of hwhy: the altar of gold, and the table of
gold, whereupon the consecrated bread
was,
49 And the lampstands of pure gold,
five on the right side, and five on the left,
before the oracle, with the flowers, and
the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and
the basins, and the spoons, and the
censers of pure gold; and the hinges of
gold, both for the doors of the inner
house, the most Set-Apart place, and for
the doors of the house, of the Temple.
51 So was ended all the work that king
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) made for the house
of hwhy. And Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
brought in the things which Dawud
(David) his father had dedicated; even
the silver, and the gold, and the vessels,
did he put among the treasures of the
house of hwhy.

1 Then Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
assembled the elders of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and all the heads of the tribes,

children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), to king
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), that they might bring up the
ark of the covenant of hwhy out of the
city of Dawud (David), which is Tsiyon.

assembled themselves to King

came, and the kohenim (priests) took up
the ark.
4 And they brought up the ark of hwhy,
and the tabernacle of the congregation,

the tabernacle, even those did the
kohenim (priests) and the Lewites bring
up.
5 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon), and
all the congregation of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
that were assembled to him, were with
him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and
oxen, that could not be told nor numbered
for multitude.3
6 And the kohenim (priests) brought in
the ark of the covenant of hwhy to his
place, into the inner sanctuary of the
Temple, in the most Set-Apart place,
even under the wings of the Cherubims.
7 For the Cherubims spread forth their
two wings over the place of the ark, and
the Cherubims covered the ark and the
poles thereof above.
8 And they drew out the poles, that the
ends of the poles were seen out in the
Set-Apart place before the oracle, and

standard Solomon’s personal offering the cost was

put there at Horeb, when hwhy made a
covenant with the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), when they came out of the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
10 And it came to pass, when the
kohenim (priests) were come out of the
Set-Apart place, that the cloud filled the
house of hwhy,
11 So that the kohenim (priests) could
not stand to minister because of the
cloud: for the glory of hwhy had filled the
house of hwhy.
12 Then spoke Sul’ahmon (Solomon),
hwhy said that he would dwell in the thick
darkness.
13 I have surely built you a house to
dwell in, a settled place for you to abide
in forever.
14 And the king turned his face about,
and blessed all the congregation of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and all the
congregation of Yah’sar’el (Israel) stood;
15 And he said, Blessed be hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), which spoke
with his mouth to Dawud (David) my
father, and has with his hand fulfilled it,
saying,
16 Since the day that I brought forth my
people Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), I chose no city out of all the
tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to build an
house, that my name might be therein;
but I chose Dawud (David) to be over my
people Yah’sar’el (Israel).
17 And it was in the heart of Dawud
(David) my father to build a house for the
name of hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
18 And hwhy said to Dawud (David) my
father, Whereas it was in your heart to
build a house to my name, you did well
that it was in your heart.
19 Nevertheless you shall not build the
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
house; but your son that shall come forth
out of your loins, he shall build the house
to my name.
20 And hwhy has performed his word
that he spoke, and I have been raised up
in the place of Dawud (David) my father,
and sit on the throne of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), as hwhy promised, and have
built an house for the name of hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
21 And I have set there a place for the
ark, wherein is the covenant of hwhy,
which he made with our ahvot (fathers),
when he brought them out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
22 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) stood
before the altar of hwhy in the presence
of all the congregation of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and spread forth his hands
toward shamayim (heavens):1
23 And he said, hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), there is no Elohim like
you, in shamayim (heavens) above, or on
earth beneath, who guarding your
covenant and mercy with your servants
that walk before you with all their heart:
24 Who has guarded with your servant
Dawud (David) my father that you
promised him: you spoke also with your
mouth, and have fulfilled it with your
hand, as it is this day.
25 Therefore now, hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), guard with your
servant Dawud (David) my father what
you promised him, saying, There shall not
fail you a man in my sight to sit on the
throne of Yah’sar’el (Israel); so that your
children take heed to their way, that they
walk before me as you have walked
before me.
26 And now, O Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), let your word, I pray you, be

verified, which you spoke to your servant
Dawud (David) my father.
27 But will Elohim indeed dwell on the
earth? Behold, the shamayim (heavens)
and shamayim (heavens) of heavens
cannot contain you; how much less this
Temple that I have built?
28 Yet you have respect to the prayer of
your servant, and to his supplication, O
hwhy my Supreme One, to hearken to
the cry and to the prayer, which your
servant prays before you this day:
29 That your eyes may be open toward
this Temple night and day, even toward
the place of which you have said, My
name shall be there: that you may
hearken to the prayer which your servant
shall make toward this place.
30 And hearken to the supplication of
your servant, and of your people
Yah’sar’el (Israel), when they shall pray
toward this place:2 and you hear in the
shamayim (heavens) your dwelling place:
and when you hear, forgive.
31 If any man trespass against his
neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him
to cause him to swear, and the oath
come before your altar in this house:
32 Then hear from shamayim
(heavens), and do, and judge your
servants, condemning the wicked, to
bring his way upon his head; and
justifying the righteous, to give him
according to his righteousness.
33 When your people Yah’sar’el (Israel)
be struck down before the enemy,
because they have sinned against you,
and shall turn again to you, and confess
your name,3 and pray, and make
supplication to you in this Temple:
34 Then hear from the shamayim

Jerusalem and pray towards the Temple of YHWH.

(heavens), and forgive the sin of your
people Yah’sar’el (Israel), and bring them
again to the land which you gave to their
ahvot (fathers). 1
35 When shamayim (heavens) is shut
up and there is no rain, because they
have sinned against you; if they pray
toward this place, and confess your
name,2 and turn from their sin, when you
afflict them:
36 Then hear from the shamayim
(heavens), and forgive the sin of your
servants, and of your people Yah’sar’el
(Israel), that you teach them the good
way3 wherein they should walk, and give
rain upon your land, which you have
given to your people for an inheritance.4
37 If there be in the land famine, if there
be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or
if there be grasshoppers;5 if their enemy
besiege them in the land of their cities;
whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness
there be;
38 Whatever prayer and supplication be
made by any man, or by all your people
Yah’sar’el (Israel), which shall know
every man the plague of his own heart,
and spread forth his hands toward this
house:
1 Repentance will take us back to the land of our
forefathers.
2 We must confess the name of YHWH.
3The ‘good way’ is an idiomatic expression for
Torah obedience.
4 Is YHWH going to listen to the promise He made
with king Solomon to hear our prayers for our
inheritance and to forgive our sins or is He going
to hear the errant Pastors who do not know him
and say Israel has no inheritance and no
forgiveness of sin?

39 Then hear you in shamayim
(heavens) your dwelling place, and
forgive, and do, and give to every man
according to his ways, whose heart you
know; for you, even you only, know the
hearts of all the children of men;
40 That they may fear you all the days
that they live in the land which you gave
to our ahvot (fathers).
41 Moreover concerning a foreigner,
that is not of your people Yah’sar’el

your name's sake;6
42 For they shall hear of your great

your stretched out arm; when he shall
come and pray toward this house;

dwelling place, and do according to all
that the foreigner calls to you for: that all
people of the world may know your name,
to fear you, as do your people Yah’sar’el

Temple, which I have built, is called by
your name.7
44 If your people go out to battle
against their enemy, wherever you shall
send them, and they shall pray to hwhy
toward the city which you have chosen,
and toward the house that I have built for

that they carry them away captives to the

in the land where they were carried
captives, and repent, and make
supplication to you in the land of those

have sinned, and have done perversely,
we have committed wickedness;

heart, and with all their soul, in the land of
their enemies, which led them away
captive, and pray to you toward their

hand of Musa (Moses) your servant,
when you brought our ahvot (fathers) out
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), O Master hwhy.
54 And it was so, that when Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) had made an end of praying
all this prayer and supplication to hwhy,
he arose from before the altar of hwhy,
from kneeling on his knees with his hands
spread up to shamayim (heavens).2
55 And he stood, and blessed all the
congregation of Yah’sar’el (Israel) with a
loud voice, saying,
56 Blessed be hwhy, that has given rest
to his people Yah’sar’el (Israel),
according to all that he promised: there
has not failed one word of all his good
promise, which he promised by the hand
of Musa (Moses) his servant.3
57 hwhy our Elohim be with us, as he
was with our ahvot (fathers): let him not
leave us, nor forsake us:
58 That he may incline our hearts to
him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep
his commandments, and his statutes, and
his judgments, which he commanded our
ahvot (fathers).
59 And let these my words, wherewith I
have made supplication before hwhy, be
near to hwhy our Elohim day and night,
that he maintain the cause of his servant,
and the cause of his people Yah’sar’el
(Israel) at all times, as the matter shall
require:
60 That all the people of the world may
know that hwhy is Elohim, and that there
is none else.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect
with hwhy our Elohim, to walk in his
statutes, and to keep his commandments,
as at this day.
62 And the king, and all Yah’sar’el

Christians foolishly do today. He confirmed His
Torah as truth for all times.

(Israel) with him, offered sacrifice before
hwhy.
63 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) offered a
sacrifice of shalom (peace) offerings,
which he offered to hwhy, twenty two
thousand oxen, and a hundred and
twenty thousand sheep. So the king and
all the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
dedicated the house of hwhy.
64 The same day did the king set-apart
the courtyard that was in front of the
Temple of hwhy: for there he offered
burnt offerings, and grain offerings, and
the fat of the shalom (peace) offerings:
because the brazen altar that was before
hwhy was too little to receive the burnt
offerings, and grain offerings, and the fat
of the shalom (peace) offerings.
65 And at that time Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) held a feast, and all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) with him, a great congregation,
from the entering in of Hamath to the river
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), before hwhy our
Elohim, seven days and seven days,
even fourteen days.1
66 On the eighth day he sent the people
away: and they blessed the king, and
went to their tents joyful and glad of heart
for all the goodness that hwhy had done
for Dawud (David) his servant, and for
Yah’sar’el (Israel) his people.
Chapter 9
1 And it came to pass, when Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) had finished the building of the
house of hwhy, and the king's house, and
all Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s desire which
he was pleased to do,
2 That hwhy appeared to Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) the second time, as he had
appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 And hwhy said to him, I have heard

celebrated it 14 days instead of the customary

your prayer and your supplication, that
you have made before me: I have set-
apart this Temple, which you have built,
to put my name there forever; and my
eyes and my heart shall always be there.2
4 And if you will walk before me, as
Dawud (David) your father walked, in
integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to
do according to all that I have
commanded you, and will keep my
statutes and my judgments:
5 Then I will establish the throne of your
kingdom upon Yah’sar’el (Israel) forever,
as I promised to Dawud (David) your
father, saying, There shall not fail you a
man upon the throne of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
6 But if you shall at all turn from
following me, you or your children, and
will not keep my commandments and my
statutes which I have set before you, but
go and serve other mighty ones, and
worship them:
7 Then will I cut off Yah’sar’el (Israel)
out of the land which I have given them;
and this Temple, which I have set-apart
for my name, will I cast out of my sight;
and Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall be a proverb
and a byword among all people:
8 And at this Temple, which is high,
everyone that passes by it shall be
astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall
say, Why has hwhy done thus to this
land, and to this Temple?
9 And they shall answer, Because they
forsook hwhy their Elohim, who brought
forth their ahvot (fathers) out of the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and have taken hold
upon other mighty ones, and have
worshipped them, and served them:
therefore has hwhy brought upon them
all this evil.
10 And it came to pass at the end of
twenty years, when Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
2 YHWH is there for us forever.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
had built the two houses, the Temple of
hwhy, and the king's house,
11 (Now Hiram the king of Tsor (Tyre)
had furnished Sul’ahmon (Solomon) with
cedar etzim (trees) and fir etzim (trees),
and with gold, according to all his desire,)
that then king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) gave
Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 And Hiram came out from Tsor
(Tyre) to see the cities which Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) had given him; and he was not
pleased.
13 And he said, What cities are these
which you have given me, my brother?
And he called them the land of Kabul1 to
this day.
14 And Hiram sent to the king one
hundred twenty talents of gold.
15 And this is the reason of the
workforce which king Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) raised; to build the Temple of
hwhy, and his own house, and the
terrace, and the wall of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and Khatzor (Hazor), and
Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 For Pharaoh king of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) had gone up, and taken Gezer,
and burnt it with fire, and slain the
Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and
given it for a present to his daughter,
Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s wife.
17 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) built
Gezer, and lower Beyth-horon,
18 And Baalath, and Tadmor in the
wilderness, in the land,
19 And all the cities of store that
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had, and cities for
his chariots, and cities for his horsemen,
and that which Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
desired to build in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and in Lebanon, and in all
the land of his dominion.
20 And all the people that were left of
the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites,
1 Kabul meaning as good as nothing.
592
and Yebusites, which were not of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
21 Their children that were left after
them in the land, whom the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) also were not able
utterly to destroy, upon those did
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) conscripted them
for compulsory labour to this day.
22 But of the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) did Sul’ahmon (Solomon) make
no workforce: but they were men of war,
and his servants, and his princes, and his
commanders, and rulers of his chariots,
and his horsemen.
23 These were the chief of the officers
that were over Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s
work, five hundred fifty, which bare rule
over the people that wrought in the work.
24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out
of the city of Dawud (David) to her house
which Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had built for
her: then did he build the terrace.
25 And three times in a year did
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) offer burnt
offerings and shalom (peace) offerings
upon the altar which he built to hwhy,
and he burnt incense upon the altar that
was before hwhy. So he finished the
house.2
26 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
made a navy of ships in Etsiyon-geber,
which is beside Eloth, on the seashore of
the Sea of Reeds, in the land of Edom.
27 And Hiram sent in the navy his
servants, shipmen that had knowledge of
the sea, with the servants of Sul’ahmon
(Solomon).
28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched
from there gold, four hundred and twenty
talents, and brought it to king Sul’ahmon
(Solomon).
2 As commanded in the Torah Deuteronomy
16:16.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
Chapter 10
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard
of the fame of Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
concerning the name of hwhy, she came
to test him with hard questions. 1
2 And she came to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) with a very great company,
with camels that bare spices, and very
much gold, and precious stones: and
when she was come to Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), she discussed with him of all
that was in her heart.
3 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) told her all
her questions: there was not anything hid
from the king, which he told her not.
4 And when the queen of Sheba had
seen all Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s wisdom,
and the house that he had built,
5 And the food of his table, and the
seating of his servants, and the service of
his waiters, and their uniforms, and his
cupbearers, and his ascent by which he
went up to the house of hwhy; there was
no more ruach (spirit) in her.
6 And she said to the king, It was a true
report that I heard in my own land of your
acts and of your wisdom.
7 But I believed not the words, until I
came, and my eyes had seen it: and,
behold, the half was not told me: your
wisdom and prosperity exceeds the fame
which I heard.
8 Happy are your men, happy are these
your servants, which stand continually
before you, and that hear your wisdom.
9 Blessed be hwhy your Elohim, which
delighted in you, to set you on the throne
of Yah’sar’el (Israel): because hwhy
loved Yah’sar’el (Israel) forever, therefore
he made you king, to do right-ruling and
justice.
10 And she gave the king a hundred
and twenty talents of gold, and of spices
very great store, and precious stones:
1 She came from present day Yemen.
593
there came no more such abundance of
spices as these which the queen of
Sheba gave to king Sul’ahmon
(Solomon).
11 And the navy also of Hiram, that
brought gold from Ophir, brought in from
Ophir great plenty of almug etzim (trees),
and precious stones.
12 And the king made of the almug
etzim (trees) pillars for the house of
hwhy, and for the king's house, also lyres
and harps for singers: there came no
such almug etzim (trees), nor were seen
to this day.
13 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) gave
to the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside that which
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) gave her of his
royal bounty. So she turned and went to
her own country, she and her servants.
14 Now the weight of gold that came to
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) in one year was six
hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
15 Beside that he had of the men of
travel, and of the trade of the spice
merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia,
and of the governors of the country.
16 And king Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
made two hundred targets of beaten gold:
six hundred shekels of gold went to one
target.
17 And he made three hundred shields
of beaten gold; three pound of gold went
to one shield: and the king put them in
the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Moreover the king made a great
throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the
best gold.
19 The throne had six steps, and the
top of the throne was round behind: and
there were armrests on either side on the
place of the seat, and two lions stood
beside the armrests.
20 And twelve lions stood there on the
one side and on the other upon the six
steps: there was not the like made in any
kingdom.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
21 And all king Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s
drinking vessels were of gold, and all the
vessels of the house of the forest of
Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of
silver: it was not counted valuable in the
days of Sul’ahmon (Solomon).
22 For the king had at sea a navy of
Tarshish (Lebanon) with the navy of
Hiram: once in three years came the navy
of Tarshish (Lebanon), bringing gold, and
silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 1 daughter
23 So king Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
exceeded all the kings of the world for
riches and for wisdom.
24 And all the established kingdoms
roundabout sought to Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), to hear his wisdom, which
Elohim had put in his heart.
25 And they brought every man his
present, vessels of silver, and vessels of
gold, and garments, and armour, and
spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by
year.
26 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) gathered
together chariots and horsemen: and he
had a thousand four hundred chariots,
and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he
bestowed in the cities for chariots, and
with the king at Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
27 And the king made silver to be in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) as stones, and
cedars made he to be as the sycamore
etzim (trees) that are in the vale, for
abundance.
28 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had
horses brought out of Mitzrayim (Egypt),
and Queh: the king's merchants received
them for a price at Queh.
1 King Solomon would send them out on
expeditions for three years at a time, they would
then bring in variety of stuff from their scientific
endeavors. America was discovered around this
time and re-discovered by Columbus a marano
Jewish family much later again.
29 And a chariot came up and went out
of Mitzrayim (Egypt) for six hundred
shekels of silver, and a horse for an
hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings
of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria,
did they bring them out by their means.
Chapter 11
1 But king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) loved
many foreign women, together with the
of Pharaoh, women of the
Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites,
Zidonians, and Hittites;2
2 Of the nations concerning which hwhy
said to the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
You shall not go in to them, neither shall
they come in to you: for surely they will
turn away your heart after their mighty
ones: Sul’ahmon (Solomon) clave to
these in love.
3 And he had seven hundred wives,
princesses, and three hundred
concubines: and his wives turned away
his heart.3
4 For it came to pass, when Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) was old, that his wives turned
away his heart after other mighty ones:4
and his heart was not complete with
hwhy his Elohim, as was the heart of
Dawud (David) his father.
2 Loving foreign women was not the problem,
neither marrying all the wives but rendering
worship to the false elohim was the mistake that
King Solomon made plus YHWH had forbidden
women from these nations.
3 The problem was not the many wives but the
fact that they turned his heart away from YHWH
because they worshipped false elohim and King
Solomon in his love did not stop them doing this
false worship but joined in also.
4 The wives may have taken advantage of his old
age and turned his heart away. He was not as
youthful and it may also be that he gave into his
wives to appease them in the name of love, a
mistake many men and women are still making
even in monogamous marriages and serving Baal.
594
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
5 For Sul’ahmon (Solomon) went after
Ashtoreth the deity of the Zidonians,1
and after Milcom the abomination of the
Ammonites.
6 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) did evil in
the sight of hwhy, and went not fully after
hwhy,2 as did Dawud (David) his father.
7 Then did Sul’ahmon (Solomon) build a
high place for Kemosh, the abomination
of Moab, in the hill that is before
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and for
Molek,3 the abomination of the children of
Ammon.
8 And likewise did he for all his foreign
wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed
to their mighty ones.
9 And hwhy was angry with Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), because his heart was turned
from hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
which had appeared to him twice,
10 And had commanded him
concerning this thing, that he should not
go after other mighty ones: but he kept
not that which hwhy commanded.
11 Therefore hwhy said to Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), Forasmuch as this is done of
you, and you have not kept my covenant
and my statutes, which I have
commanded you, I will surely tear the
kingdom from you, and will give it to your
servant.
12 Notwithstanding in your days I will
not do it for Dawud (David) your father's
sake: but I will tear it out of the hand of
your son.
1 This is who gave us Easter and many Christians
are also serving Ishtar in their blatant hard hearted
ignorance.
2 King Solomon had one foot in with YHWH and
the other foot in the altars of the false elohim his
wives worshipped. In the name of love king
Solomon fell.
3 Molek is represented in Islam repackaged where
children are sent as sacrifices to Allah as suicide
bombers for jihad.
595
13 But I will not tear away all the
kingdom; but will give one tribe to your
son for Dawud (David) my servant's sake,
and for Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)'s sake
which I have chosen.
14 And hwhy stirred up an adversary to
Sul’ahmon (Solomon), Hadad the
Edomite: he was the descendant of the
king's in Edom.
15 For it came to pass, when Dawud
(David) was in Edom, and Yoab the
commander of the armies was gone up to
bury the slain, after he had smitten every
male in Edom;
16 For six months did Yoab remain
there with all Yah’sar’el (Israel), until he
had cut off every male in Edom:
17 That Hadad fled, he and certain
Edomites of his father's servants with
him, to go into Mitzrayim (Egypt); Hadad
being yet a little child.
18 And they arose out of Midian, and
came to Paran: and they took men with
them out of Paran, and they came to
Mitzrayim (Egypt), to Pharaoh king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt); which gave him a
house, and appointed him supplies, and
gave him land.4
19 And Hadad found great favour in the
sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to
wife the sister of his own wife, the sister
of Tahpenes the queen.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him
Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes
weaned in Pharaoh's house: and
Genubath was in Pharaoh's household
among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 And when Hadad heard in Mitzrayim
(Egypt) that Dawud (David) slept with his
ahvot (fathers), and that Yoab the

descendants of Dawud (David), but not
forever.
40 Sul’ahmon (Solomon) sought
therefore to kill Yarob’am. And Yarob’am
arose, and fled into Mitzrayim (Egypt), to
Shishak king of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
was in Mitzrayim (Egypt) until the death
of Sul’ahmon (Solomon).
41 And the rest of the acts of Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), and all that he did, and his
wisdom, are they not written in the scroll
of the annals of Sul’ahmon (Solomon)?
42 And the time that Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) reigned in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) over all Yah’sar’el (Israel)
was forty years.
43 And Sul’ahmon (Solomon) slept with
his ahvot (fathers), and was buried in the
city of Dawud (David) his father: and
Rekhab’am his son reigned in his place.
Chapter 12
1 And Rekhab’am went to Shechem: for
all Yah’sar’el (Israel) were come to
Shechem to make him king.
2 And it came to pass, when Yarob’am
the son of Nebat, who was yet in
Mitzrayim (Egypt), heard of it, (for he was
fled from the presence of king Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), and Yarob’am dwelt in
Mitzrayim (Egypt);)
3 That they sent and called him. And
Yarob’am and all the congregation of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) came, and spoke to
Rekhab’am, saying,
4 Your father made us work very hard:
now therefore if you will not make us
work hard as your father, and his lighten
our work which he put upon us, and we
597
will serve you.
5 And he said to them, Depart yet for
three days, then come again to me. And
the people departed.
6 And king Rekhab’am consulted with
the elders, that stood before Sul’ahmon
(Solomon) his father while he yet lived,
and said, How do you advise that I may
answer this people?
7 And they spoke to him, saying, If you
will be a servant to this people this day,
and will serve them, and answer them,
and speak good words to them, then they
will be your servants forever.
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old
men, which they had given him, and
consulted with the young men that were
grown up with him, and which stood
before him:
9 And he said to them, What counsel do
you give that we may answer this people,
who have spoken to me, saying, Make
the yoke which your father did put upon
us lighter?
10 And the young men that were grown
up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus
shall you speak to this people that spoke
to you, saying, Your father made our
yoke heavy, but make you it lighter to us;
thus shall you say to them, My little finger
shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 And now whereas my father did laid
a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your
yoke: my father has chastised you with
whips, but I will chastise you with whips
that sting like scorpion.1
12 So Yarob’am and all the people
came to Rekhab’am the third day, as the
king had appointed, saying, Come to me
again the third day.
13 And the king answered the people
roughly, and forsook the elders counsel
that they gave him;
1 The Hebrew word used here is scorpions, which
really means whips that will sting like scorpions.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
14 And spoke to them after the counsel
of the young men, saying, My father
made your yoke heavy, and I will add to
your yoke: my father also chastised you
with whips, but I will chastise you with
whips that sting like scorpions.
15 Therefore the king hearkened not to
the people; for this was caused by hwhy,
that he might perform his saying, which
hwhy spoke by Akhi’yah the Shilonite to
Yarob’am the son of Nebat.
16 So when all Yah’sar’el (Israel) saw
that the king hearkened not to them, the
people answered the king, saying, What
portion have we in Dawud (David)?
Neither have we inheritance in the son of
Yishai (Jesse): to your tents, O Yah’sar’el
(Israel): now see to your own house,
Dawud (David). So Yah’sar’el (Israel)
departed to their tents.
17 But as for the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) which dwelt in the cities of
Yahudah (Judah), Rekhab’am reigned
over them.
18 Then king Rekhab’am sent Adoram,
who was over the tribute; and all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) stoned him with stones,
that he died. Therefore king Rekhab’am
made speed to get him up to his chariot,
to flee to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
19 So Yah’sar’el (Israel) rebelled
against the house of Dawud (David) to
this day.
20 And it came to pass, when all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) heard that Yarob’am
had returned, that they sent and called
him to the congregation, and made him
king over all Yah’sar’el (Israel): there was
none that followed the house of Dawud
(David), but the tribe of Yahudah (Judah)
only.
21 And when Rekhab’am was come to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), he assembled
all the house of Yahudah (Judah), with
the tribe of Benyamin (Benjamin), a
hundred and eighty thousand chosen
men, which were warriors, to fight against
598
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), to bring
the kingdom again to Rekhab’am the son
of Sul’ahmon (Solomon).
22 But the word of Elohim came to
Shema’yah the man of Elohim, saying,
23 Speak to Rekhab’am, the son of
Sul’ahmon (Solomon), king of Yahudah
(Judah), and to all the house of Yahudah
(Judah) and Benyamin (Benjamin), and to
the remnant of the people, saying,
24 Thus says hwhy, You shall not go
up, nor fight against your brethren the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): return
every man to his house; for this thing is
from me. They hearkened therefore to the
word of hwhy, and returned to depart,
according to the word of hwhy.
25 Then Yarob’am built Shechem in
Mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and
went out from there, and built Penu’el.
26 And Yarob’am said in his heart, Now
shall the kingdom return to the house of
Dawud (David):
27 If this people go up to do sacrifice in
the house of hwhy at Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), then shall the heart of this
people turn again to their master, even to
Rekhab’am king of Yahudah (Judah), and
they shall kill me, and go again to
Rekhab’am king of Yahudah (Judah).
28 Whereupon the king took counsel,
and made two calves of gold, and said to
them, It is too much for you to go up to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): behold your
mighty ones (elohim), O Yah’sar’el
(Israel), which brought you up out of the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).1
1 The golden calves were made just like when they
came out of Egypt (Exo 32). For the tribes like Dan
which were farther than other it sometimes took 7
days to travel and go to Yerushalayim to the
Temple so they were too lazy to worship YHWH in
his Set-Apart Temple and begin to give excuses
and there is also play on words here as Beth’el,
which means house of El and din/dan means
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
29 And he set the one in Beyth’el, and
the other put he in Dan.
30 And this thing became a sin: for the
people went to worship before the one,
even to Dan.
1
31 And he made Temples on high
places, and made kohenim (priests) of
the lowest of the people, which were not
of the sons of Lewi. 2
32 And Yarob’am ordained a feast in
the eighth month,3 on the fifteenth day of
the month, like to the feast that is in
Yahudah (Judah), and he offered upon
the altar. So did he in Beyth’el, sacrificing
to the calves that he had made: and he
placed in Beyth’el the kohenim (priests)
of the high places which he had made.
33 So he offered upon the altar which
he had made in Beyth’el the fifteenth day
of the eighth month, even in the month
which he had devised of his own heart;
and ordained a feast to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and he offered upon
the altar, and burnt incense.
Chapter 13
1 And, behold, there came a man of
Elohim out of Yahudah (Judah) by the
word of hwhy to Beyth’el: and Yarob’am
stood by the altar to burn incense.
2 And he cried against the altar in the
word of hwhy, and said, O altar, altar,
judgment. So because of counterfeit place of
worship they deserved judgment.
1 The Hebrew here is singular but plural in 1 Kings
13:32. The LXX has the plural.
2 You cannot just make anyone priests, even
though in the Renewed Covenant anyone can be a
priest in the order of Melechzedek but in the
Levitical order only a Lewite can be a priest as
YHWH has an eternal covenant with Lewi.
3 Jeroboam made his own new feast; this was a
grievous sin to YHWH. Likewise Christendom has
made their own pagan feasts, which also grieve
YHWH.
599
thus says hwhy; Behold, a child shall be
born to the house of Dawud (David),
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) by name; and upon
you shall he offer the kohenim (priests) of
the high places that burn incense upon
you, and men's bones shall be burnt upon
you.
3 And he gave a sign the same day,
saying, This is the sign which hwhy has
spoken; Behold, the altar shall be torn,
and the ashes that are upon it shall be
poured out.
4 And it came to pass, when king
Yarob’am heard the saying of the man of
Elohim, which had cried against the altar
in Beyth’el, that he put forth his hand from
the altar, saying, Seize him. And his
hand, which he put forth against him,
shriveled up, so that he could not pull it in
again to him.4
5 The altar also was torn, and the ashes
poured out from the altar, according to
the sign which the man of Elohim had
given by the word of hwhy.
6 And the king answered and said to the
man of Elohim, pray now to the face of
hwhy your Elohim, and pray for me, that
my hand may be restored to me again.
And the man of Elohim besought hwhy,
and the king's hand was restored to him
again, and became as it was before.
7 And the king said to the man of
Elohim, Come home with me, and refresh
yourself, and I will give you a reward.
8 And the man of Elohim said to the
king, If you will give me half your house, I
4 Laying hold of YHWH’s servant is not the best
thing to do even today. If you want to invoke the
curses of YHWH then you are welcome to try it.
Some have tried this by lashon hara (evil speech)
and have already seen their businesses burn up
and their jobs lost. To bless YHWH’s servant will
bring blessings in your life but to lift a voice
against them will bring real curses in your life, no
matter even if you profess the Christian Jesus is
irrelevant and not going to save you.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
will not go in with you, neither will I eat
lechem (bread) nor drink mayim (water)
in this place:
9 For so was I commanded by the word
of hwhy, saying, Eat no lechem (bread),
nor drink mayim (water), nor turn again
by the same way that you came.
10 So he went another way, and
returned not by the way that he came to
Beyth’el.
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in
Beyth’el; and his sons came and told him
all the works that the man of Elohim had
done that day in Beyth’el: the words
which he had spoken to the king, them
they told also to their father.
12 And their father said to them, Which
way did he go? For his sons had seen
what way the man of Elohim went, which
came from Yahudah (Judah).
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me
the donkey. So they saddled him the
donkey: and he rode thereon,
14 And went after the man of Elohim,
and found him sitting under a terebinth
tree: and he said to him, Are you the man
of Elohim that came from Yahudah
(Judah)? And he said, I am.
15 Then he said to him, Come home
with me, and eat lechem (bread).
16 And he said, I may not return with
you, nor go in with you: neither will I eat
lechem (bread) nor drink mayim (water)
with you in this place:
17 For it was commanded to me by the
word of hwhy, You shall eat no lechem
(bread) nor drink mayim (water) there,
nor turn again to go by the way that you
came.
18 He said to him, I am a prophet also
as you are; and an angel spoke to me by
the word of hwhy,1 saying, Bring him
1 This man was lying to him and the prophet
should never have listened to him and stick to his
back with you into your house, that he
may eat lechem (bread) and drink mayim
(water). But he lied to him.
19 So he went back with him, and did
eat lechem (bread) in his house, and
drank mayim (water).
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at
the table, that the word of hwhy came to
the prophet that brought him back:
21 And he cried to the man of Elohim
that came from Yahudah (Judah), saying,
Thus says hwhy, Forasmuch as you have
rebelled against the mouth of hwhy, and
have not kept the commandment which
hwhy your Elohim commanded you,
22 But came back, and have eaten
lechem (bread) and drunk mayim (water)
in the place, of which hwhy did say to
you, Eat no lechem (bread), and drink no
mayim (water); your carcass shall not
come to the sepulchre of your ahvot
(fathers).
23 And it came to pass, after he had
eaten lechem (bread), and after he had
drunk, that he saddled for him the
donkey, for the prophet whom he had
brought back.
24 And when he was gone, a lion met
him by the way, and slew him: and his
carcass was cast in the way, and the
donkey stood by it, the lion also stood by
the carcass.2
25 And, behold, men passed by, and
saw the carcass cast in the way, and the
lion standing by the carcass: and they
came and told it in the city where the old
prophet dwelt.
26 And when the prophet that brought
him back from the way heard thereof, he
said, It is the man of Elohim, who was
first command from YHWH but he made the fatal
error.
2 This is what happened to a prophet of YHWH
who disobeyed His voice, how much more those
who are not in that office?
600
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
disobedient to the word of hwhy:
therefore hwhy has delivered him to the
lion, which has torn him, and slain him,
according to the word of hwhy, which he
spoke to him.
27 And he spoke to his sons, saying,
Saddle me the donkey. And they saddled
him.
28 And he went and found his carcass
cast in the way, and the donkey and the
lion standing by the carcass: the lion had
not eaten the carcass, nor torn the
donkey.
29 And the prophet took up the carcass
of the man of Elohim, and laid it upon the
donkey, and brought it back: and the old
prophet came to the city, to mourn and to
bury him.
30 And he laid his carcass in his own
grave; and they mourned over him,
saying, Alas, my brother!
31 And it came to pass, after he had
buried him, that he spoke to his sons,
saying, When I am dead, then bury me in
the sepulchre wherein the man of Elohim
is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
32 For the saying which he cried by the
word of hwhy against the altar in
Beyth’el, and against all the houses of the
high places which are in the cities of
Shomeron (Samaria), shall surely come
to pass.
33 After this thing Yarob’am returned
not from his evil way, but made again of
the lowest of the people kohenim (priests)
of the high places:1 whosoever would, he
consecrated him, and he became one of
the kohenim (priests) of the high places.
34 And this thing became sin to the
house of Yarob’am, even to cut it off, and
to destroy it from off the face of the

Chapter 14
1 At that time Abi’yah the son of
Yarob’am fell sick.
2 And Yarob’am said to his wife, Arise, I
pray you, and disguise yourself, that you
be not known to be the wife of Yarob’am;
and go to Shiloh: behold, there is
Akhi’yah the prophet, who told me that I
should be king over this people.
3 And take with you ten loaves, and
cracknels, and a jar of honey, and go to
him: he shall tell you what shall become
of the child.
4 And Yarob’am's wife did so, and
arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to
the house of Akhi’yah.3 But Akhi’yah
could not see; for his eyes were weak by
reason of his age.
5 And hwhy said to Akhi’yah, Behold,
the wife of Yarob’am comes to ask a
thing of you for her son; for he is sick:
thus and thus shall you say to her: for it
shall be, when she comes in, that she
shall feign herself to be another woman.
6 And it was so, when Akhi’yah heard
the sound of her feet, as she came in at
the door, that he said, Come in, you wife
of Yarob’am; why do you pretend yourself
to be someone else? For I am sent to you
with heavy tidings.
7 Go, tell Yarob’am, Thus says hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), Forasmuch
as I exalted you from among the people,
2 YHWH will also remove all the crosses and
statues that are being venerated in many Catholic
churches and Christendom’s idolatries, the
daughter of Catholicism.
3 When real prophetic knowledge was needed
Jeroboam had to send his wife to the real
prophets, likewise Christendom in its idolatry has
many false prophets. Therefore, when divine
knowledge is needed real prophets have to be
sought.

and made you prince over my people
Yah’sar’el (Israel),
8 And torn the kingdom away from the
house of Dawud (David), and gave it you:
and yet you have not been as my servant
Dawud (David), who kept my
commandments, and who followed me
with all his heart, to do that only which
was right in my eyes;
9 But have done evil above all that were
before you: for you have gone and made
other mighty ones, and molten images, to
provoke me to anger, and have cast me
behind your back:1
10 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil
upon the house of Yarob’am, and will cut
off from Yarob’am him that pisses against
2
the wall, and him that is shut up and left
in Yah’sar’el (Israel), and will take away
the remnant of the house of Yarob’am, as
a man takes away dung, till it be all gone.
11 Him that dies of Yarob’am in the city
shall the dogs eat; and him that dies in
the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for
hwhy has spoken it.
12 Arise you therefore, go to your own
house: and when your feet enter into the
city, the child will die.
13 And all Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall
mourn for him, and bury him: for he is the
only one of Yarob’am who shall receive a
decent burial, because in him there is
found some good toward hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) in the house of

have exalted Rabbi Paulos as their father and
rejected the real Father in heaven, who gave His

14 Moreover hwhy shall raise him up a
king over Yah’sar’el (Israel), who shall cut
off the house of Yarob’am that day: but
what? Even now.
15 For hwhy shall smite Yah’sar’el
(Israel), as a reed is shaken in the mayim
(water), and he shall root up Yah’sar’el
(Israel) out of this good land, which he
gave to their ahvot (fathers), and shall
scatter them beyond the river,4 because
they have made their groves, provoking
hwhy to anger.
16 And he shall give Yah’sar’el (Israel)
up because of the sins of Yarob’am, who
did sin, and who made Yah’sar’el (Israel)
to sin.
17 And Yarob’am's wife arose, and
departed, and came to Tirzah: and when
she came to the threshold of the door, the
child died;
18 And they buried him; and all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) mourned for him,
according to the word of hwhy, which he
spoke by the hand of his servant Akhi’yah
the prophet.
19 And the rest of the acts of Yarob’am,
how he warred, and how he reigned,
behold, they are written in the scroll of the
chronicles of the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
20 And the days which Yarob’am
reigned were twenty-two years: and he
slept with his ahvot (fathers), and Nadab
his son reigned in his place.
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) reigned in
Yahudah (Judah). Rekhab’am was forty-
one years old when he began to reign,
and he reigned seventeen years in
not allowing the people in the north to go to the
Temple for the feasts of YHWH.
4He will scatter the House of Israel over the river
Euphrates which means they will end up in Europe
where they became many nations and started
worshipping wooden or hand made images.

Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), the city which
hwhy did choose out of all the tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), to put his name there.
And his mother's name was Naamah an
Ammonitess.
22 And Yahudah (Judah) did evil in the
sight of hwhy, and they provoked him to
jealousy with their sins which they had
committed, above all that their ahvot
(fathers) had done.
23 For they also built them high places,
and images, and Asherah poles, on every
high hill, and under every green etz
(tree).
24 And there were also male cultic
prostitutes in the land: and they did
according to all the abominations of the
nations which hwhy cast out before the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
25 And it came to pass in the fifth year
of king Rekhab’am, that Shishak king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) came up against
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem):
26 And he took away the treasures of
the house of hwhy, and the treasures of
the king's house; he even took away all:
and he took away all the shields of gold
which Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had made.
27 And king Rekhab’am made in their
place brazen shields, and committed
them to the hands of the chief of the
guard, which kept the door of the king's
house.
28 And it was so, when the king went
into the house of hwhy, that the guard
bare them, and brought them back into
the guard chamber.
29 Now the rest of the acts of
Rekhab’am, and all that he did, are they
not written in the scroll of the chronicles
of the kings of Yahudah (Judah)?
30 And there was war between
Rekhab’am and Yarob’am all their days.
31 And Rekhab’am slept with his ahvot
(fathers), and was buried with his ahvot
(fathers) in the city of Dawud (David).
And his mother's name was Naamah an
603
Ammonitess.1 And Abiyam his son
reigned in his place.
Chapter 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king
Yarob’am the son of Nebat Abiyam
reigned over Yahudah (Judah).
2 Three years reigned he in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And his
mother's name was Maachah, the
daughter of Abishalom.2
3 And he walked in all the sins of his
father, which he had done before him:
and his heart was not perfect with hwhy
his Elohim, as the heart of Dawud (David)
his father.
4 Nevertheless for Dawud (David)'s
sake did hwhy his Elohim give him a
lamp in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), to set
up his son after him, and to establish
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem):
5 Because Dawud (David) did that
which was right in the eyes of hwhy, and
turned not aside from anything that he
commanded him all the days of his life,
save only in the matter of Uri’yah the
Hittite.3
6 And there was war between
Rekhab’am and Yarob’am all the days of
1 Why this has been repeated that his mother was
an Ammonitess is that she was one of the leading
causes of the idolatry of Judah. Note they were not
meant to marry into foreign women who brought
in their false elohim.
2 Abishalom is a variant of Abshalom.
3 The only sin counted against king David was the
adultery. Polygamy was not counted against him
as sin, and is not sin today. Christians are wrongly
taught that it is sin and are being forced into a
monogamous Greek/Romano culture where
polygamy is the bad child and monogamy is the
good one but the reality is very different as has
been proved by the high divorce rates in
monogamy while with polygamy means a divorce
rate of zero, as that is how YHWH wanted to see
it.

his life.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abiyam,
and all that he did, are they not written in
the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah)? And there was war
between Abiyam and Yarob’am.
8 And Abiyam slept with his ahvot
(fathers); and they buried him in the city
of Dawud (David): and Asa his son
reigned in his place.
9 And in the twentieth year of Yarob’am
king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) reigned Asa
over Yahudah (Judah).
10 And forty-one years he reigned in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And his
mother's name was Maachah, the
daughter of Abishalom.
11 And Asa did that which was right in
the eyes of hwhy, as did Dawud (David)
his father.
12 And he took away the male cultic
prostitutes1 out of the land, and removed
all the idols that his ahvot (fathers) had
made.
13 And also Maachah his grandmother,2
even her he removed from being queen,
because she had made a loathsome
asherah pole; and Asa destroyed her idol,
and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
14 But the high places were not
removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was
perfect with hwhy all his days.
15 And he brought in the things which
his father had dedicated, and the things
which himself had dedicated, into the
house of hwhy, silver, and gold, and
vessels.
16 And there was war between Asa and
Baasha king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) all their
days.
17 And Baasha king of Yah’sar’el
1 These were in the Temple performing lewd acts.
2 The Hebrew term ‘mother’ refers to the
grandmother.
(Israel) went up against Yahudah
(Judah), and built Ramah, that he might
not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa
king of Yahudah (Judah).
18 Then Asa took all the silver and the
gold that were left in the treasures of the
house of hwhy, and the treasures of the
king's house, and delivered them into the
hand of his servants: and king Asa sent
them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon,
the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that
dwelt at Damascus, saying,
19 There is a covenant between me and
you, and between my father and your
father: behold, I have sent to you a
present of silver and gold; come and
break your covenant with Baasha king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that he may depart
from me.
20 So Ben-hadad hearkened to king
Asa, and sent the commanders of the
armies which he had against the cities of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and smote Iyon, and
Dan, and Abel-Beyth-maachah, and all
Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 And it came to pass, when Baasha
heard thereof, that he left building of
Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
22 Then king Asa made a proclamation
throughout all Yahudah (Judah); none
was exempted: and they took away the
stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof,
wherewith Baasha had built; and king
Asa built with them Geba of Benyamin
(Benjamin), and Mizpah.
23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all
his might, and all that he did, and the
cities which he built, are they not written
in the scroll of the chronicles of the kings
of Yahudah (Judah)? Nevertheless in the
time of his old age he was diseased in his
feet.3
24 And Asa slept with his ahvot

traditions.

(fathers), and was buried with his ahvot
(fathers) in the city of Dawud (David) his
father: and Yahushafat his son reigned in
his place.
25 And Nadab the son of Yarob’am
began to reign over Yah’sar’el (Israel) in
the second year of Asa king of Yahudah
(Judah), and reigned over Yah’sar’el
(Israel) two years.
26 And he did evil in the sight of hwhy,
and walked in the way of his father, and
in his sin wherewith he made Yah’sar’el
(Israel) to sin.
27 And Baasha the son of Akhi’yah, of
the house of Yah’sachar (Issachar),
conspired against him; and Baasha
smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged
to the Plushtim (Philistines); for Nadab
and all Yah’sar’el (Israel) laid siege to
Gibbethon.
28 Even in the third year of Asa king of
Yahudah (Judah) did Baasha slay him,
and reigned in his place.
29 And it came to pass, when he
reigned, that he smote all the house of
Yarob’am; he left not to Yarob’am any
that breathed, until he had destroyed him,
according to the saying of hwhy, which
he spoke by his servant Akhi’yah the
Shilonite:
30 Because of the sins of Yarob’am
which he sinned, and which he made
Yah’sar’el (Israel) sin, by his provocation
wherewith he provoked hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to anger.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab,
and all that he did, are they not written in
the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
32 And there was war between Asa and
Baasha king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) all their
days.
33 In the third year of Asa king of
Yahudah (Judah) began Baasha the son
of Akhi’yah to reign over all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
34 And he did evil in the sight of hwhy,
605
and walked in the way of Yarob’am, and
in his sin wherewith he made Yah’sar’el
(Israel) to sin.
Chapter 16
1 Then the word of hwhy came to Yehu
(Jehu) the son of Hanani against Baasha,
saying,
2 Forasmuch as I exalted you out of the
dust, and made you prince over my
people Yah’sar’el (Israel); and you have
walked in the way of Yarob’am, and have
made my people Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin,
to provoke me to anger with their sins;
3 Behold, I will take away the family of
Baasha, and the family of his house; and
will make your house like the house of
Yarob’am the son of Nebat.
4 Him that dies of Baasha in the city
shall the dogs eat; and him that dies of
his in the fields shall the fowls of the air
eat.1
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha,
and what he did, and his might, are they
not written in the scroll of the chronicles
of the kings of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
6 So Baasha slept with his ahvot
(fathers), and was buried in Tirzah: and
Elah his son reigned in his place.
7 And also by the hand of the prophet
Yehu (Jehu) the son of Hanani came the
word of hwhy against Baasha, and
against his house, even for all the evil
that he did in the sight of hwhy, in
provoking him to anger with the work of
his hands, in being like the house of
Yarob’am; and because he killed him.
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of
Yahudah (Judah) began Elah the son of
Baasha to reign over Yah’sar’el (Israel) in
Tirzah, two years.
9 And his servant Zimri, commander of
half his chariots, conspired against him,
as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself
1 They were given no burial!
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
drunk in the house of Arza steward of his
house in Tirzah.
10 And Zimri went in and smote him,
and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year
of Asa king of Yahudah (Judah), and
reigned in his place.
11 And it came to pass, when he began
to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne,
that he slew all the house of Baasha: he
left him not one that pisses against a
wall,1 neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his
friends.
12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house
of Baasha, according to the word of
hwhy, which he spoke against Baasha by
Yehu (Jehu) the prophet,
13 For all the sins of Baasha, and the
sins of Elah his son, by which they
sinned, and by which they made
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin, in provoking
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to
anger with their vanities.
14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and
all that he did, are they not written in the
scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa
king of Yahudah (Judah) did Zimri reign
seven days in Tirzah. And the people
were encamped against Gibbethon,
which belonged to the Plushtim
(Philistines).
16 And the people that were encamped
heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has
also slain the king: Therefore all
Yah’sar’el (Israel) made Omri, the
commander of the armies, king over
Yah’sar’el (Israel) that day in the camp.2
17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon,
and all Yah’sar’el (Israel) with him, and
they besieged Tirzah.
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw
1 See footnote First Samuel 25:22.
2 Omri was a very corrupt king!
606
that the city was taken, that he went into
the palace of the king's house, and burnt
the king's house over him with fire, and
died,
19 For his sins which he sinned in doing
evil in the sight of hwhy, in walking in the
way of Yarob’am, and in his sin which he
did, to make Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin.
20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and
his treason that he wrought, are they not
written in the scroll of the chronicles of
the kings of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
21 Then were the people of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) divided into two parts: half of the
people followed Tibni the son of Ginath,
to make him king; and half followed Omri.
22 But the people that followed Omri
prevailed against the people that followed
Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and
Omri reigned.
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa king of
Yahudah (Judah) began Omri to reign
over Yah’sar’el (Israel), twelve years: six
years he reigned in Tirzah.
24 And he bought the hill Shomeron
(Samaria) of Shemer for two talents of
silver, and built on the hill, and called the
name of the city which he built, after the
name of Shemer, owner of the hill,
Shomeron (Samaria).
25 But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of
hwhy, and did worse than all that were
before him.
26 For he walked in all the way of
Yarob’am the son of Nebat, and in his sin
wherewith he made Yah’sar’el (Israel) to
sin, to provoke hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) to anger with their vanities.
27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri
which he did, and his might that he
showed, are they not written in the scroll
of the chronicles of the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
28 So Omri slept with his ahvot
(fathers), and was buried in Shomeron
(Samaria): and Akhab his son reigned in
his place.
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
29 And in the thirty-eighth year of Asa
king of Yahudah (Judah) began Akhab
the son of Omri to reign over Yah’sar’el
(Israel): and Akhab the son of Omri
reigned over Yah’sar’el (Israel) in
Shomeron (Samaria) twenty-two years.
30 And Akhab the son of Omri did evil in
the sight of hwhy above all that were
before him.
31 And it came to pass, as if it had been
a light thing for him to walk in the sins of
Yarob’am the son of Nebat, that he took
to wife Izebel (Jezebel) the daughter of
Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went
and served Baal, and worshipped him.1
32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in
the house of Baal, which he had built in
Shomeron (Samaria).
33 And Akhab made a asherah pole;
and Akhab did more to provoke hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to anger than
all the kings of Yah’sar’el (Israel) that
were before him.
34 In his days did Hiel the Beyth’elite
build Yericho (Jericho): he laid the
foundation thereof in Abiram with his
firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in
his youngest son Segub, according to the
word of hwhy, which he spoke by
Yahushua (Joshua) the son of Nun.2

If monogamy was the best model then we see
here that this one woman did more damage in
Israel then all the kings put together. Clearly
Monogamy is a valid choice in Torah but not raised
above polygamy as our father Abraham
demonstrated.
2 Both sons were sacrificed as per the prophecy of
Joshua and in their blood were the foundations
laid.
Chapter 17
1 And Eliyahu (Elijah)3 the Tishbite, who
was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to
Akhab, As hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) lives, before whom I stand, there
shall not be dew nor rain these years, but
according to my word.
2 And the word of hwhy came to him,
saying,
3 Leave here, and travel eastward, and
hide yourself by the brook Kerith, that is
before Yardan (Jordan).
4 And it shall be, that you shall drink of
the brook; and I have commanded the
ravens to feed you there.4
5 So he went and did according to the
word of hwhy: for he went and dwelt by
the brook Kerith, that is before Yardan
(Jordan).
6 And the ravens brought him lechem
(bread) and meat in the morning, and
3 Eliyahu is a prominent character but amazingly
there is no record of his genealogy. It only
mentions Eliyahu Ha Tishbi, from inhabitants of
Gilead. A lot of people assume he was from the
town of Tishbi and in some bible maps Gilead and
Tishbi are shown with question mark. If we
examine the text carefully we see that the word Ha
Tishbi (Tav, Sheen, Bet, Yod) is same word used
for inhabitants Min-toshawb (Tav, Sheen, Bet,
Yod) which according to rabbinical sources means
Eliyahu was from the resident alien (inhabitants) of
Gilead. That is to say he was not ethnically Israeli,
but at some point in his life he made the decision
of following the Elohim of Abraham, Yahsac and
Ya’akob.
4 First of all he is fed by the Ravens which seems
to be impossible since Ravens do not even feed
supreme Elohim by doing this miraculously. He
shows him by feeding him bread and for bread the
word “lechem” can mean many things here not
just fallen pieces of bread in the fields of Israel, it
can refer to nuts and berries also. In fact what we
translate Beth-lechem as the “house of Bread” the
Palestinians translate Beth Lechem as the House of
Meat. Yahushua is both the House of Bread and
the House of Meat offering us eternal life.
607
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
lechem (bread) and meat in the evening;
and he drank of the brook.
7 And it came to pass after a while, that
the brook dried up, because there had
been no rain in the land.
8 And the word of hwhy came to him,
saying,
9 Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs
to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have
commanded a widow there to sustain
you.
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath.
And when he came to the gate of the city,
behold, the widow was there gathering
sticks: and he called to her, and said,
Fetch me, I pray you, a little mayim
(water) in a vessel, that I may drink.
11 And as she was going to fetch it, he
called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray
you, a morsel of lechem (bread) in your
hand.
12 And she said, As hwhy your Elohim
lives, I have not a cake, but a handful of
meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a jar:
and, behold, I am gathering two sticks,
that I may go in and cook it for myself and
my son, that we may eat it, and die.
13 And Eliyahu (Elijah) said to her, Fear
not; go and do as you have said: but
make me thereof a little cake first, and
bring it to me, and after make for you and
for your son.
14 For thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), The barrel of meal
shall not finish, neither shall the jar of oil
fall low, until the day that hwhy sends
rain upon the earth.
15 And she went and did according to
the saying of Eliyahu (Elijah): and she,
and he, and her house, did eat many
days.
16 And the barrel of meal emptied not,
neither did the jar of oil go low, according
to the word of hwhy, which he spoke by
Eliyahu (Elijah).
17 And it came to pass after these
things, that the son of the woman, the
608
mistress of the house, fell sick; and his
sickness was so sore, that there was no
breath left in him.
18 And she said to Eliyahu (Elijah),
What have I to do with you, O you man of
Elohim? Are you come to me to call my
sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
19 And he said to her, Give me your
son. And he took him out of her bosom,
and carried him up into a loft, where he
stayed, and laid him upon his own bed.
20 And he called to hwhy, and said, O
hwhy my Elohim, have you also brought
evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn,
by slaying her son?
21 And he stretched himself upon the
child three times, and called to hwhy, and
said, O hwhy my Elohim, I pray you, let
this child's soul come into him again.
22 And hwhy heard the voice of Eliyahu
(Elijah); and the soul of the child came
into him again, and he revived.
23 And Eliyahu (Elijah) took the child,
and brought him down out of the room
into the house, and delivered him to his
mother: and Eliyahu (Elijah) said, See,
your son lives.
24 And the woman said to Eliyahu
(Elijah), Now by this I know that you are a
man of Elohim, and that the word of hwhy
in your mouth is truth.
Chapter 18
1 And it came to pass after many days,
that the word of hwhy came to Eliyahu
(Elijah) in the third year, saying, Go, show
yourself to Akhab; and I will send rain
upon the earth.
2 And Eliyahu (Elijah) went to show
himself to Akhab. And there was a sore
famine in Shomeron (Samaria).
3 And Akhab called Obadi’yah, which
was the governor of his house. (Now
Obadi’yah feared hwhy greatly:
4 For it was so, when Izebel (Jezebel)
cut off the prophets of hwhy, that
Obadi’yah took a hundred prophets, and
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them
with lechem (bread) and mayim (water).)
5 And Akhab said to Obadi’yah, Go into
the land, to all fountains of mayim
(water), and to all brooks: it could be that
we may find grass to save the horses and
mules alive, that we lose not all the
beasts.
6 So they divided the land between
them to pass throughout it: Akhab went
one way by himself, and Obadi’yah went
another way by himself.
7 And as Obadi’yah was in the way,
behold, Eliyahu (Elijah) met him: and he
knew him, and fell on his face, and said,
Are you that my master Eliyahu (Elijah)?
8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell
your master, Behold, Eliyahu (Elijah) is
here.
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that
you would deliver your servant into the
hand of Akhab, to slay me?2
10 As hwhy your Elohim lives, there is
no nation or kingdom, where my master
has not sent to seek you: and when they
said, He is not there; he took an oath of
the kingdom and nation, that they found
1 Ahab’s apostasy had been going on for 14 years
before YHWH raised up Elijah to confront Ahab
and his false prophets. Even today in our world 14
years in Pakistan is sentence for life so the person
can change. He was given time to repent but
none was forthcoming. Normally Yahuweh will give
people an opportunity to judge your own sins
before he judges you, likewise we should judge
ourselves lest He judges us even more severely, 1
Corinthians 11:31.
2 He talks about hiding the prophets, feeding them
and all. The situation is similar today, the Jewish
people in Israel talk about not standing firm on the
ground for YHWH but give all sorts of reasons to
make the peace proposals to appease the Muslims
and other governments but many in the political
leadership make no firm stand for YHWH though
they may do good work according to their
understanding.
you not.
11 And now you say, Go, tell your
master, Behold, Eliyahu (Elijah) is here.
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as
I am gone from you, that the Ruach
(Spirit) of hwhy shall carry you where I
know not; and so when I come and tell
Akhab, and he cannot find you, he shall
slay me: but I your servant fear hwhy
from my youth.
13 Was it not told my master what I did
when Izebel (Jezebel) slew the prophets
of hwhy, how I hid a hundred men of
hwhy's prophets by fifty in a cave, and
fed them with lechem (bread) and mayim
(water)?3
1 14 And now you say, Go, tell your
master, Behold, Eliyahu (Elijah) is here:
and he shall slay me.
15 And Eliyahu (Elijah) said, As hwhy of
hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will
surely show myself to him this day.
16 So Obadi’yah went to meet Akhab,
and told him: and Akhab went to meet
Eliyahu (Elijah).
17 And it came to pass, when Akhab
saw Eliyahu (Elijah), that Akhab said to
him, Are you he that troubles Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
18 And he answered, I have not
troubled Yah’sar’el (Israel); but you, and
your father's house, in that you have
forsaken the commandments of hwhy,
and you have followed Baalim.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to
me all Yah’sar’el (Israel) to Mount
3 Now When Eliyahu meets Obadiah who is master
of all of Ahab’s house, his name means “Servant of
Yahuweh” he confronts him and what Obadiah
does is tell him that he worships YHWH but has
accepted status quo. This is our community’s
problem today. They say we are Christians but
have accepted status quo, i.e. the church’s stand
for homosexuality and lesbianism is appalling, they
accept these things in opposition to YHWH’s
commandments.
609
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four
hundred-fifty, and the prophets of
Asherah four hundred, which eat at Izebel
(Jezebel)'s table.
20 So Akhab sent to all the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and gathered the
prophets together to Mount Carmel.
21 And Eliyahu (Elijah) came to all the
people, and said, How long will you be
between two opinions? If hwhy be
Elohim, follow him: but if Baal, then follow
him. And the people answered him not a
word. 1
22 Then said Eliyahu (Elijah) to the
people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of
the hwhy; but Baal's prophets are four
hundred and fifty men.
23 Let them therefore give us two
bullocks; and let them choose one bullock
for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and
lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and
I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on
wood, and put no fire under:
24 And call you on the name of your
mighty ones, and I will call on the name
of hwhy:2 and the Elohim that answers by
fire, let him be Elohim. And all the people
answered and said, It is well spoken.
25 And Eliyahu (Elijah) said to the
prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for
yourselves, and dress it first; for you are
many; and call on the name of your
mighty ones, but put no fire under.
1 Elijah was a great prophet of Yahweh and he
came at a time when it was necessary to show
who Elohim is? It is at this time that several
Muslim converts are being raised to show who
YHWH is once again. Failure to keep the Mosaic
covenant brings destruction and to obey brings
blessings. Eliyahu’s name means Yahuweh is My
Mighty One. Muslim converts know this truth is
painfully obvious as they have to sacrifice their
lives to come into the kingdom while Christians are
sacrificing the truth – What a stark difference?
2 Elijah called on the name of YHWH and not on to
a man made title.
26 And they took the bullock which was
given them, and they dressed it, and
called on the name of Baal from morning
even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us.
But there was no voice, nor any that
answered. And they leaped upon the altar
which was made.
27 And it came to pass at noon, that
Eliyahu (Elijah) mocked them, and said,
Cry aloud: for he is a mighty ones; either
he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in
a journey, or peradventure he sleeps, and
must be awaked.3
28 And they cried aloud, and cut
themselves after their manner with knives
and lancets, till the blood gushed out
upon them.
29 And it came to pass, when midday
was past, and they prophesied until the
time of the offering of the evening4
sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor
any to answer, nor any that regarded.
30 And Eliyahu (Elijah) said to all the
people, Come near to me. And all the
people came near to him. And he
repaired the altar of hwhy that was
broken down.
31 And Eliyahu (Elijah) took twelve
3 These worshippers of Baal and Asherah chant,
and cut themselves and do all sorts of funny
things, this is very similar to Muslims who also do
these things but their elohim Allah does not
answer either. At noon day Elijah mocks them that
your elohim is meditating, busy, in the toilet or
gone on a journey. Why noon? This is because this
is the time the elohim should have been around to
receive a sacrifice as in the Temple times this was
the sacrifice time.
4 Elijah at the time of the evening sacrifice at 3pm
makes an altar unto YHWH, He repaired the altar
obviously. The Baal’s and Asherah’s could not
speak therefore; he took 12 stones to build his
altar. This would also be the time of the Passover
sacrifice, which Yahushua is allegorical of. See
Matthew 27:45.

Chapter 19
1 And Akhab told Izebel (Jezebel) all
that Eliyahu (Elijah) had done, and how
he had slain all the prophets with the
sword.
2 Then Izebel (Jezebel) sent a
messenger to Eliyahu (Elijah), saying, So
let the mighty ones do to me, and more
also, if I make not your life as the life of
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
one of them by tomorrow about this time.1
3 And when he saw that, he arose, and
went for his life, and came to Beersheba,
which belongs to Yahudah (Judah), and
left his servant there.
4 But he himself went a day's journey
into the wilderness, and came and sat
down under a broom etz (tree): and he
requested for himself that he might die;
and said, It is enough; now, O hwhy, take
away my life; for I am not better than my
ahvot (fathers).
5 And as he lay and slept under a
broom etz (tree), behold, then an angel
touched him, and said to him, Arise and
eat.
6 And he looked, and, behold, there
was a cake baked on the coals, and a jar
of mayim (water) at his head. And he did
eat and drink, and laid him down again.
7 And the angel of hwhy came again
the second time, and touched him, and
said, Arise and eat; because the journey
is too great for you.
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink,
and went in the strength of that meat forty
days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount
of Elohim.2
9 And he came there to a cave, and
lodged there; and, behold, the word of
hwhy came to him, and he said to him,
Why are you here, Eliyahu (Elijah)?
10 And he said, I have been very
jealous for hwhy Elohim of hosts: for the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) have
forsaken your covenant, thrown down
your altars, and slain your prophets with
the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and
they seek my life, to take it away.
1 Even today evil women would like to bring down
the prophets of YHWH but YHWH will have a curse
upon them and likewise dogs (gentiles) will eat
their flesh allegorically speaking.
2 He went to Mount Sini’yah in Saudi Arabia to
refresh himself with YHWH.
612
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand
upon the Mount before hwhy. And,
behold, hwhy passed by, and a great and
strong wind torn the mountains, and
broke in pieces the rocks before hwhy;
but hwhy was not in the wind: and after
the wind an earthquake; but hwhy was
not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but
hwhy was not in the fire: and after the fire
a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Eliyahu (Elijah)
heard it, that he wrapped his face in his
mantle, and went out, and stood in the
entering in of the cave. And, behold,
there came a voice to him, and said, Why
are you here, Eliyahu (Elijah)?
14 And he said, I have been very
jealous for hwhy Elohim of hosts:
because the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
have forsaken your covenant, thrown
down your altars, and slain your prophets
with the sword; and I, even I only, am left;
and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 And hwhy said to him, Go, return on
your way to the wilderness of Damascus:
and when you come, anoint Khaza’el to
be king over Syria:
16 And Yehu (Jehu) the son of Nimshi
you shall anoint to be king over Yah’sar’el
(Israel): and Elisha the son of Shaphat of
Abelmeholah shall you anoint to be
prophet in your room.
17 And it shall come to pass, that him
that escapes the sword of Khaza’el shall
Yehu (Jehu) slay: and him that escapes
from the sword of Yehu (Jehu) shall
Elisha slay.
18 Yet I have left myself seven
thousand in Yah’sar’el (Israel), all the
knees which have not bowed to Baal, and
every mouth which has not kissed him.
19 So he departed there, and found
Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was
plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before
him, and he with the twelfth: and Eliyahu
(Elijah) passed by him, and cast his
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
mantle upon him.1
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after
Eliyahu (Elijah), and said, Let me, I pray
you, kiss my father and my mother, and
then I will follow you. And he said to him,
Go back indeed: for what have I done to
you?
21 And he returned back from him, and
took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and
cooked their flesh with the instruments of
the oxen, and gave to the people, and
they did eat. Then he arose, and went
after Eliyahu (Elijah), and became his
servant.
Chapter 20
1 And Ben-hadad the king of Syria
gathered all his armies together: and
there were thirty-two kings with him, and
horses, and chariots: and he went up and
besieged Shomeron (Samaria), and
warred against it.
2 And he sent messengers to Akhab
king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) into the city,
and said to him, Thus says Ben-hadad,
3 Your silver and your gold is mine; your
wives also and your children, even the
best, are mine.
4 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
answered and said, My master, O king,
according to your saying, I am yours, and
all that I have.
5 And the messengers came again, and
said, Thus speaks Ben-hadad, saying,
Although I have sent to you, saying, You
shall deliver me your silver, and your
gold, and your wives, and your children;
6 Yet I will send my servants to you
tomorrow about this time, and they shall
search your house, and the houses of

613
your servants; and it shall be, that
whatsoever is pleasant in your eyes, they
shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
7 Then the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
called all the elders of the land, and said,
Mark, I pray you, and see how this man
seeks mischief: for he sent to me for my
wives, and for my children, and for my
silver, and for my gold; and I denied him
not.
8 And all the elders and all the people
said to him, Hearken not to him, nor
consent.
9 Therefore he said to the messengers
of Ben-hadad, Tell my master the king,
All that you did send for to your servant at
the first I will do: but this thing I may not
do. And the messengers departed, and
brought him word again.
10 And Ben-hadad sent to him, and
said, The mighty ones do so to me, and
more also, if the dust of Shomeron
(Samaria) shall suffice for handfuls for all
the people that follow me.
11 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
answered and said, Tell him, Let not him
that puts on his battle gear boast himself
as he that puts it off.
12 And it came to pass, when Ben-
hadad heard this message, as he was
drinking, he and the kings in the
pavilions, that he said to his servants, Set
yourselves in array. And they set
themselves in array against the city.
13 And, behold, there came a prophet
to Akhab king of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
saying, Thus says hwhy, Have you seen
all this great multitude? Behold, I will
deliver it into your hand this day; and you
shall know that I am hwhy.
14 And Akhab said, By whom? And he
said, Thus says hwhy, Even by the young
men of the princes of the provinces. Then
he said, Who shall order the battle? And
he answered, You.
15 Then he numbered the young men of
the princes of the provinces, and they
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
were two hundred thirty two: and after
them he numbered all the people, even
all the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
being seven thousand.
16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-
hadad was drinking himself drunk in the
pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty two
kings that helped him.
17 And the young men of the princes of
the provinces went out first; and Ben-
hadad sent out, and they told him, saying,
There are men come out of Shomeron
(Samaria).
18 And he said, Whether they be come
out for shalom (peace), take them alive;
or whether they be come out for war, take
them alive.
19 So these young men of the princes
of the provinces came out of the city, and
the army which followed them.
20 And they slew every one his man:
and the Syrians fled; and Yah’sar’el
(Israel) pursued them: and Ben-hadad
the king of Syria escaped on a horse with
the horsemen.
21 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
went out, and smote the horses and
chariots, and slew the Syrians with a
great slaughter.
22 And the prophet came to the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and said to him, Go,
strengthen yourself, and mark, and see
what you do: for at the return of the year
the king of Syria will come up against
you.
23 And the servants of the king of Syria
said to him, Their mighty ones are mighty
ones of the hills; therefore they were
stronger than we; but let us fight against
them in the plain, and surely we shall be
stronger than they.
24 And do this thing, Take the kings
away, every man out of his place, and put
commanders in their rooms:
25 And number yourself an army, like
the army that you have lost, horse for
horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will
614
fight against them in the plain, and surely
we shall be stronger than they. And he
hearkened to their voice, and did so.
26 And it came to pass at the return of
the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the
Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight
against Yah’sar’el (Israel).
27 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
were numbered, and were all present,
and went against them: and the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) pitched before them
like two little flocks of kids; but the
Syrians filled the country.
28 And there came a man of Elohim,
and spoke to the king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and said, Thus says hwhy,
Because the Syrians have said, hwhy is
Elohim of the hills, but he is not Elohim of
the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this
great multitude into your hand, and you
shall know that I am hwhy.
29 And they pitched one over against
the other seven days. And so it was, that
in the seventh day the battle was joined:
and the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand
footmen in one day.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the
city; and there a wall fell upon twenty
seven thousand of the men that were left.
And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the
city, into an inner chamber.
31 And his servants said to him, Behold
now, we have heard that the kings of the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) are merciful
kings: let us, I pray you, put sackcloth on
our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and
go out to the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
peradventure he will save your life.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their
loins, and put ropes on their heads, and
came to the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, I
pray you, let me live. And he said, Is he
yet alive? He is my brother.
33 Now the men did diligently observe
whether anything would come from him,
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
and did hastily catch it: and they said,
Your brother Ben-hadad. Then he said,
Go, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came
forth to him; and he caused him to come
up into the chariot.
34 And Ben-hadad said to him, The
cities, which my father took from your
father, I will restore; and you shall make
streets for you in Damascus, as my father
made in Shomeron (Samaria). Then said
Akhab, I will send you away with this
covenant. So he made a covenant with
him, and sent him away.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the
prophets said to his neighbour in the
word of hwhy, Smite me, I pray you. And
the man refused to smite him.
36 Then said he to him, Because you
have not obeyed the voice of hwhy,
behold, as soon as you are departed from
me, a lion shall slay you. And as soon as
he was departed from him, a lion found
him, and slew him.
37 Then he found another man, and
said, Smite me, I pray you. And the man
smote him, so that in smiting he wounded
him.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited
for the king by the way, and disguised
himself with ashes upon his face.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried
to the king: and he said, Your servant
went out into the midst of the battle; and,
behold, a man turned aside, and brought
a man to me, and said, Keep this man: if
by any means he be missing, then shall
your life be for his life, or else you shall
pay a talent of silver.
40 And as your servant was busy here
and there, he was gone. And the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) said to him, So shall
your right-ruling be; yourself have
decided it.
41 And he hasted, and took the ashes
away from his face; and the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) discerned him that he
was of the prophets.
615
42 And he said to him, Thus says hwhy,
Because you have let go out of your hand
a man whom I appointed to utter
destruction, therefore your life shall go for
his life, and your people for his people.
43 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
went to his house heavy and displeased,
and came to Shomeron (Samaria).
Chapter 21
1 And it came to pass after these things,
that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard,
which was in Yizre’el (Jezreel), hard by
the palace of Akhab king of Shomeron
(Samaria).
2 And Akhab spoke to Naboth, saying,
Give me your vineyard, that I may have it
for a garden of herbs, because it is near
to my house: and I will give you for it a
better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good
to you, I will give you the worth of it in
money.
3 And Naboth said to Akhab, hwhy
forbid, that I should give the inheritance
of my ahvot (fathers) to you.
4 And Akhab came into his house heavy
and displeased because of the word
which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken
to him: for he had said, I will not give you
the inheritance of my ahvot (fathers). And
he laid him down upon his bed, and
turned away his face, and would eat no
lechem (bread).
5 But Izebel (Jezebel) his wife came to
him, and said to him, Why is your ruach
(spirit) so sad, that you have eaten no
lechem (bread)?
6 And he said to her, Because I spoke
to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him,
Give me your vineyard for money; or
else, if it please you, I will give you
another vineyard for it: and he answered,
I will not give you my vineyard.
7 And Izebel (Jezebel) his wife said to
him, Do you now govern the kingdom of
Yah’sar’el (Israel)? Arise, and eat lechem
(bread), and let your heart be merry: I will
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
give you the vineyard of Naboth the
Jezreelite.
8 So she wrote letters in Akhab's name,
and sealed them with his seal, and sent
the letters to the elders and to the nobles
that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying,
Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high
among the people:1
10 And set two men, sons of Beliyaal,
before him, to bear witness against him,
saying, You did blaspheme Elohim and
the king. And then carry him out, and
stone him, that he may die.
11 And the men of his city, even the
elders and the nobles who were the
inhabitants in his city, did as Izebel
(Jezebel) had sent to them, and as it was
written in the letters which she had sent
to them.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set
Naboth on high among the people.
13 And there came in two men, children
of Beliyaal, and sat before him: and the
men of Beliyaal witnessed against him,
even against Naboth, in the presence of
the people, saying, Naboth did
blaspheme Elohim and the king. Then
they carried him forth out of the city, and
stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Then they sent to Izebel (Jezebel),
saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 And it came to pass, when Izebel
(Jezebel) heard that Naboth was stoned,
and was dead, that Izebel (Jezebel) said
to Akhab, Arise, take possession of the
vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which
he refused to give you for money: for
Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 And it came to pass, when Akhab
heard that Naboth was dead, that Akhab
rose up to go down to the vineyard of
Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession
of it.
1 Fast of hypocrisy.
616
17 And the word of hwhy came to
Eliyahu (Elijah) the Tishbite, saying,
18 Arise, go down to meet Akhab king
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), which is in
Shomeron (Samaria): behold, he is in the
vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone
down to possess it.
19 And you shall speak to him, saying,
Thus says hwhy, Have you killed, and
also taken possession? And you shall
speak to him, saying, Thus says hwhy, In
the place where dogs licked the blood of
Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even
your.
20 And Akhab said to Eliyahu (Elijah),
Have you found me, O my enemy? And
he answered, I have found you: because
you have sold yourself to work evil in the
sight of hwhy.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon you,
and will take away your family, and will
cut off from Akhab him that pisses
against the wall, and him that is shut up
and left in Yah’sar’el (Israel),
22 And will make your house like the
house of Yarob’am the son of Nebat, and
like the house of Baasha the son of
Akhi’yah, for the provocation wherewith
you have provoked me to anger, and
made Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin.
23 And of Izebel (Jezebel) also spoke
hwhy, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel
(Jezebel) by the wall of Yizre’el (Jezreel).
24 Him that dies of Akhab in the city the
dogs shall eat; and him that dies in the
field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 But there was none like to Akhab,
which did sell himself to work wickedness
in the sight of hwhy, whom Izebel
(Jezebel) his wife stirred up.
26 And he did very abominably in
following idols, according to all things as
did the Amorites, whom hwhy cast out
before the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
27 And it came to pass, when Akhab
heard those words, that he torn his
clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh,
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and
went softly.
28 And the word of hwhy came to
Eliyahu (Elijah) the Tishbite, saying,
29 Have you seen how Akhab has
humbled himself before me? Because he
humbles himself before me, I will not
bring the evil in his days: but in his son's
days will I bring the evil upon his house.
Chapter 22
1 And they continued three years
without war between Syria and Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
2 And it came to pass in the third year,
that Yahushafat the king of Yahudah
(Judah) came down to the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
3 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) said
to his servants, Know you that Ramoth in
Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it
not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 And he said to Yahushafat, Will you
go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead?
And Yahushafat said to the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), I am as you are, my
people as your people, my horses as
your horses.
5 And Yahushafat said to the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Enquire, I pray you, at
the word of hwhy today.
6 Then the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
gathered the prophets together, about
four hundred men, and said to them,
Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead to
battle, or shall I forbear? And they said,
Go up; for the Master shall deliver it into
the hand of the king.
7 And Yahushafat said, Is there not
here a prophet of hwhy besides, that we
might enquire of him?
8 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) said
to Yahushafat, There is yet one man,
Mikayahu the son of Yimlah, by whom we
may enquire of hwhy: but I hate him; for
he does not prophesy good concerning
me, but evil. And Yahushafat said, Let not
617
the king say so.
9 Then the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
called an officer, and said, Hasten here
Mikayahu the son of Yimlah.
10 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
and Yahushafat the king of Yahudah
(Judah) sat each on his throne, having
put on their robes, in a void place in the
entrance of the gate of Shomeron
(Samaria); and all the prophets
prophesied before them.
11 And Zidqi’yah the son of Kenaaniyah
made him horns of iron: and he said,
Thus says hwhy, With these shall you
push the Syrians, until you have
consumed them.
12 And all the prophets prophesied so,
saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and
prosper: for hwhy shall deliver it into the
king's hand.
13 And the messenger that was gone to
call Mikayahu spoke to him, saying,
Behold now, the words of the prophets
declare good to the king with one mouth:
let your word, I pray you, be like the word
of one of them, and speak that which is
good.
14 And Mikayahu said, As hwhy lives,
what hwhy says to me, that will I speak.
15 So he came to the king. And the king
said to him, Mikayahu, shall we go
against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall
we forbear? And he answered him, Go,
and prosper: for hwhy shall deliver it into
the hand of the king.
16 And the king said to him, How many
times shall I put you under oath that you
tell me nothing but that which is true in
the name of hwhy?
17 And he said, I saw all Yah’sar’el
(Israel) scattered upon the hills, as sheep
that have not a shepherd: and hwhy said,
These have no master: let them return
every man to his house in shalom
(peace).
18 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
said to Yahushafat, Did I not tell you that
 First Kings (Melechim Alef)
he would prophesy no good concerning
me, but evil?
19 And he said, Hear you therefore the
word of hwhy: I saw hwhy sitting on his
throne, and all the armies of shamayim
(heavens) standing by him on his right
hand and on his left.
20 And hwhy said, Who shall persuade
Akhab, that he may go up and fall at
Ramoth-Gilead? And one said on this
manner, and another said on that
manner.
21 And there came forth a ruach (spirit),
and stood before hwhy, and said, I will
persuade him.
22 And hwhy said to him, In what way?
And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a
lying ruach (spirit) in the mouth of all his
prophets. And he said, You shall
persuade him, and prevail also: go forth,
and do so.
23 Now therefore, behold, hwhy has put
a lying ruach (spirit) in the mouth of all
these your prophets, and hwhy has
spoken evil concerning you.
24 But Zidqi’yah the son of Kenaaniyah
went near, and smote Mikayahu on the
cheek, and said, Which way went the
ruach (spirit) of hwhy from me to speak to
you?
25 And Mikayahu said, Behold, you
shall see in that day, when you shall go
into an inner chamber to hide yourself.
26 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
said, Take Mikayahu, and carry him back
to Amon the governor of the city, and to
Yoash the king's son;
27 And say, Thus says the king, Put this
fellow in the prison, and feed him with
lechem (bread) of affliction and with
mayim (water) of affliction, until I come in
shalom (peace).
28 And Mikayahu said, If you return at
all in shalom (peace), hwhy has not
spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O
people, every one of you.
29 So the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and
618
Yahushafat the king of Yahudah (Judah)
went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
30 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
said to Yahushafat, I will disguise myself,
and enter into the battle; but you put on
your royal robes. And the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) disguised himself, and
went into the battle.
31 But the king of Syria commanded his
thirty two commanders that had rule over
his chariots, saying, Fight neither with
small nor great, save only with the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
32 And it came to pass, when the
commanders of the chariots saw
Yahushafat, that they said, Surely it is the
king of Yah’sar’el (Israel). And they
turned aside to fight against him: and
Yahushafat cried out.
33 And it came to pass, when the
commanders of the chariots perceived
that it was not the king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), that they turned back from
pursuing him.
34 And a certain archer shot an arrow at
random, and smote the king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) between the joints of the harness:
Therefore he said to the driver of his
chariot, Turn your hand, and carry me out
of the armies; for I am wounded.
35 And the battle increased that day:
and the king was propped up in his
chariot against the Syrians, and died in
the evening: and the blood ran out of the
wound into the midst of the chariot.
36 And there went a proclamation
throughout the armies about going down
of the sun, saying, Every man to his city,
and every man to his own country.
37 So the king died, and was brought to
Shomeron (Samaria); and they buried the
king in Shomeron (Samaria).
38 And one washed the chariot in the
pool of Shomeron (Samaria); and the
dogs licked up his blood; and they
washed his armour; according to the
word of hwhy which he spoke.

1 Then Moab rebelled against Yah’sar’el
(Israel) after the death of Akhab.
2 And Achazi’Yehu fell down through a
lattice in his upper chamber that was in
Shomeron (Samaria), and was sick: and he
sent messengers, and said to them, Go,
enquire of Baal-zebub the mighty ones of
Ekron whether I shall recover of this
disease.
3 But Malakh hwhy1 said to Eliyahu
(Elijah) the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet
the messengers of the king of Shomeron
(Samaria), and say to them, you must think
that there is no Elohim in Yah’sar’el
(Israel), that is why you go to enquire of
Baal-zebub the mighty ones of Ekron?
4 Now therefore thus says hwhy, You
shall not come down from that bed on
which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
And Eliyahu (Elijah) departed.
5 And when the messengers returned to
the king, he said to them, Why have you
returned?
6 And they said to him, There came a
man up to meet us, and said to us, Go,
return to the king that sent you, and say to
him, Thus says hwhy you must think that
there is no Elohim in Yah’sar’el (Israel),
that you send to enquire of Baal-zebub the
mighty ones of Ekron? Therefore you shall
not come down from that bed on which you
are gone up, but shall surely die.
7 And he said to them, What manner of
man was he which came up to meet you,
1 Yahushua as an angel.
620
and told you these words?
8 And they answered him, He was a hairy
man, and girt with a girdle of leather about
his loins. And he said, It is Eliyahu (Elijah)
the Tishbite.
9 Then the king sent to him a commander
of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him:
and, behold, he sat on the top of a hill. And
he spoke to him, You man of Elohim, the
king has said, Come down.
10 And Eliyahu (Elijah) answered and
said to the commander of fifty, If I be a
man of Elohim, then let fire come down
from shamayim (heavens), and consume
you and your fifty. And there came down
fire from shamayim (heavens), and
consumed him and his fifty.
11 Again also he sent to him another
commander of fifty with his fifty. And he
answered and said to him, O man of
Elohim, thus has the king said, Come down
quickly.
12 And Eliyahu (Elijah) answered and
said to them, If I be a man of Elohim, let
fire come down from shamayim (heavens),
and consume you and your fifty. And the
fire of Elohim came down from shamayim
(heavens), and consumed him and his fifty.
13 And he sent again a commander of
the third fifty with his fifty. And the third
commander of fifty went up, and came and
fell on his knees before Eliyahu (Elijah),
and besought him, and said to him, O man
of Elohim, I pray you, let my life, and the
life of these fifty your servants, be precious
in your sight.
14 Behold, there came fire down from
shamayim (heavens), and burnt up the two
commanders of the former fifties with their
fifties: therefore let my life now be precious
in your sight.
15 And the Malakh hwhy said to Eliyahu
(Elijah), Go down with him: be not afraid of
him. And he arose, and went down with
him to the king.
16 And he said to him, Thus says hwhy,
Forasmuch as you have sent messengers
to enquire of Baal-zebub the mighty ones
of Ekron, you must think that there is no
Elohim in Yah’sar’el (Israel) to enquire of
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
his word? Therefore you shall not come
down off that bed on which you are gone
up, but shall surely die.
17 So he died according to the word of
hwhy which Eliyahu (Elijah) had spoken.
And Yahuram reigned in his place in the
second year of Yahuram the son of
Yahushafat king of Yahudah (Judah);
because he had no son.
18 Now the rest of the acts of
Achazi’Yehu which he did, are they not
written in the scroll of the chronicles of the
kings of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
Chapter 2
1 And it came to pass, when hwhy would
take up Eliyahu (Elijah) into shamayim
(heavens) by a whirlwind, that Eliyahu
(Elijah) went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 And Eliyahu (Elijah) said to Elisha, stay
here, I pray you; for hwhy has sent me to
Beyth’el. And Elisha said to him, As hwhy
lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave (Israel), and the horsemen thereof. And he
you. So they went down to Beyth’el.
3 And the sons of the prophets that were
at Beyth’el came forth to Elisha, and said
to him, do you not know that hwhy will take
away your master from your head to day?
And he said, Yes, I also know; be silent.
4 And Eliyahu (Elijah) said to him, Elisha,
stay here, I pray you; for hwhy has sent
me to Yericho (Jericho). And he said, As
hwhy lives, and as your soul lives, I will not
leave you. So they came to Yericho
(Jericho).
5 And the sons of the prophets that were
at Yericho (Jericho) came to Elisha, and
said to him, do you not know that hwhy will
take away your master from your head to
day? And he answered, Yes, I also know;
keep silent.
6 And Eliyahu (Elijah) said to him, stay, I
pray you, here; for hwhy has sent me to
Yardan (Jordan). And he said, As hwhy
lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave
you. And the two went on.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the
prophets went, and stood to view afar off:
and they two stood by Yardan (Jordan).
8 And Eliyahu (Elijah) took his mantle,
621
and wrapped it together, and smote the
waters, and they were divided here and
there, so that they two went over on dry
ground.
9 And it came to pass, when they were
gone over, that Eliyahu (Elijah) said to
Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I
be taken away from you. And Elisha said, I
pray you, let a double portion of your
Ruach (Spirit) be upon me.
10 And he said, You have asked a hard
thing: nevertheless, if you see me when I
am taken from you, it shall be so to you;
but if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went
on, and talked, that, behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of
fire, and parted them both asunder; and
Eliyahu (Elijah) went up by a whirlwind into
shamayim (heavens).
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My
father, my father,1 the chariot of Yah’sar’el
saw him no more: and he took hold of his
own clothes, and torn them in two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle of Eliyahu
(Elijah) that fell from him, and went back,
and stood by the bank of Yardan (Jordan);
14 And he took the mantle of Eliyahu
(Elijah) that fell from him, and smote the
waters, and said, Where is hwhy Elohim of
Eliyahu (Elijah)? And when he also had
smitten the waters, they parted here and
there: and Elisha went over.
15 And when the sons of the prophets
which were to view at Yericho (Jericho)
saw him, they said, The Ruach (Spirit) of
Eliyahu (Elijah) does rest on Elisha. And
they came to meet him, and bowed
themselves to the ground before him.
16 And they said to him, Behold now,
there be with your servants fifty strong
men; let them go, we pray you, and seek
your master: lest it may be that the Ruach
1 Elijah was Elisha’s spiritual father and Elisha
respected him immensely, many people can learn a
lesson here of student/teacher relationship.
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
(Spirit) of hwhy has taken him up, and cast
him upon some mountain, or into some
valley. And he said, You shall not send.
17 And they were so insistent until
became embarrassed, he said, Send them.
They sent therefore fifty men; and they
sought three days, but found him not.
18 And when they came again to him, (for
he waited at Yericho (Jericho),) he said to
them, Did I not say to you, do not go?
19 And the men of the city said to Elisha,
Behold, I pray you, the situation of this city
is pleasant, as my master sees: but the
mayim (water) is bad, and the land does
not produce crop.
20 And he said, Bring me a new jar, and
put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 And he went forth to the spring of the
waters, and cast the salt in there, and said,
Thus says hwhy, I have healed these
waters; there shall not be from there any
more death or barren land.
22 So the waters were healed to this day,
according to the saying of Elisha which he
spoke.
23 And he went up from there to Beyth’el:
and as he was going up by the way, there
came forth youth out of the city, and
mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald
head; go up, bald head.
24 And he turned back, and looked on
them, and pronounced a curse on them in
the name of hwhy. And there came forth
two female bears out of the forest, and tore
forty-two of them.1
25 And he went from there to Mount
Carmel, and from there he returned to
Shomeron (Samaria).
1 He was in mourning and they were making fun of
him as some king of comedy. These were not little
children but our modern version of a gang, whose
ages ranged from thirty years to forty years old,
whose sole job was taunting passers by so Elisha did Yah’sar’el (Israel)'s servants answered and
the right thing and let YHWH deal with them.

Chapter 3
1 Now Yahuram the son of Akhab began
to reign over Yah’sar’el (Israel) in
Shomeron (Samaria) the eighteenth year
of Yahushafat king of Yahudah (Judah),
and reigned twelve years.
2 And he wrought evil in the sight of
hwhy; but not like his father, and like his
mother: for he put away the image of Baal
that his father had made.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved to the sins of
Yarob’am the son of Nebat, which made
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin; he departed not
from all his sins.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a
shipmaster, and rendered to the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) a hundred thousand
lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with
the wool.
5 But it came to pass, when Akhab was
dead, that the king of Moab rebelled
against the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
6 And king Yahuram went out of
Shomeron (Samaria) the same time, and
numbered all Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 And he went and sent to Yahushafat
the king of Yahudah (Judah), saying, The
king of Moab has rebelled against me: will
you go with me against Moab to battle?
And he said, I will go up: I am as you are,
my people as your people, and my horses
as your horses.
8 And he said, Which way shall we go
up? And he answered, The way through
the wilderness of Edom.
9 So the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) went,
and the king of Yahudah (Judah), and the
king of Edom: and they went around a
journey of seven days: and there was no
mayim (water) for the armies, and for the
cattle that followed them.
10 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) said,
Alas, that hwhy has called these three
kings together, to deliver them into the
hand of Moab!
11 But Yahushafat said, Is there not here
a prophet of hwhy, that we may enquire of
hwhy by him? And one of the king of
said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat,
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
which poured mayim (water) on the hands
of Eliyahu (Elijah).
12 And Yahushafat said, The word of
hwhy is with him. So the king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) and Yahushafat and the king of
Edom went down to him.
13 And Elisha said to the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Why are you here? Go
to the prophets of your father, or to the
prophets of your mother. And the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) said to him, No: for
hwhy has called these three kings
together, to deliver them into the hand of
Moab.
14 And Elisha said, As hwhy of hosts
lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it
not that I regard the presence of
Yahushafat the king of Yahudah (Judah), I
would not look toward you, nor see you.
15 But now bring me a musician. And it
came to pass, when the musician played,
that the hand of hwhy came upon him.
16 And he said, Thus says hwhy, Make
this valley full of ditches.
17 For thus says hwhy, You shall not see
wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that
valley shall be filled with mayim (water),
that you may drink, both you, and your
cattle, and your beasts.
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight
of hwhy: he will deliver the Moabites also
into your hand.
19 And you shall smite every fenced city,
and every choice city, and shall fell every
good etz (tree), and stop all wells of mayim
(water), and cover every good piece of
land with stones.
20 And it came to pass in the morning,
when the meat offering was offered, that,
behold, there came mayim (water) by the
way of Edom, and the country was filled
with mayim (water).
21 And when all the Moabites heard that
the kings were come up to fight against
them, they gathered all that were able to
put on armour, and upward, and stood in
the border.
22 And they rose up early in the morning,
and the sun shone upon the mayim
(water), and the Moabites saw the mayim
(water) on the other side as red as blood:
23 And they said, This is blood: the kings
are surely slain, and they have smitten one
another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24 And when they came to the camp of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), the Israelites rose up
and smote the Moabites, so that they fled
before them: but they went forward smiting
the Moabites, even in their country.
25 And they beat down the cities, and on
every good piece of land cast every man
his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all
the wells of mayim (water), and chopped
down all the good etzim (trees): only in Kir-
haraseth left they the stones thereof; but
the slingers went about it, and smote it.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that
the battle was too sore for him, he took
with him seven hundred men that drew
swords, to break through even to the king
of Edom: but they could not.
27 Then he took his eldest son that
should have reigned in his place, and
offered him for a burnt offering upon the
wall. And there was great indignation
against Yah’sar’el (Israel): and they
departed from him, and returned to their
own land.1
Chapter 4
1 Now there a certain woman of the
wives of the sons of the prophets called to
Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is
dead; and you know that your servant did
fear hwhy: and the creditor is come to take
to him my two sons to be bondmen.2
2 And Elisha said to her, What shall I do

During famine, he had received a loan by
mortgaging his home to feed the prophets who were
living in caves. (1 Kings 18: 4). He kept the prophets
from starving to death. He died before the loan
could be paid back and his wife inherited the debt.
But YHWH provided for his family during a crisis.

26 Run now, I pray you, to meet her, and

she answered, It is well.
27 And when she came to the man of
Elohim to the hill, she caught him by the
feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her
away. And the man of Elohim said, Let her
alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and
hwhy has hid it from me, and has not told
me.
28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of
my master? Did I not say, Do not deceive
me?
29 Then he said to Gehazi, get ready,

30 And the mother of the child said, As
hwhy lives, and as your soul lives, I will not
leave you. And he arose, and followed her.
31 And Gehazi passed on before them,
and laid the staff upon the face of the child;
but there was neither voice, nor hearing.
Therefore he went again to meet him, and
told him, saying, The child did not awake.2
32 And when Elisha was come into the
house, behold, the child was dead, and laid
upon his bed.
33 He went in therefore, and shut the
door upon them both, and prayed to hwhy.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the
child, and put his mouth upon his mouth,
and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands
upon his hands: and he stretched himself

upon the child; and the flesh of the child
waxed warm.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the
house back and forth; and went up, and
stretched himself upon him: and the child
sneezed seven times, and the child
opened his eyes.
36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call
the Shunammite. So he called her. And
when she was come in to him, he said,
Take up your son.
37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet,
and bowed herself to the ground, and took
up her son, and went out.
38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and
there was a scarcity of food in the land;
and the sons of the prophets were sitting
before him: and he said to his servant, Set
on the great pot, and cook stew for the
sons of the prophets.
39 And one went out into the field to
gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and
gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full,
and came and shred them into the pot of
pottage: for they knew not what they were.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat.
And it came to pass, as they were eating
the stew, that they cried out, and said, O
man of Elohim, there is death in the pot.
And they were unable to eat it.
41 But he said, Then bring flour. And he
cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out
for the people, that they may eat. And
there was no harm in the pot.
42 And there came a man from Baal-
shalisha, and brought the man of Elohim
lechem (bread) of the first-fruits, twenty
loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the
husk thereof. And he said, Give to the
people, that they may eat.

some shall be left over.
44 So he set it before them, and they did
eat, and some was left over, according to
the word of hwhy.
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
Chapter 5
1 Now Naaman, commander of the
armies of the king of Syria, was a great
man with his master, and honourable,
because by him hwhy had given
deliverance to Syria: he was also a mighty
man in valour, but he was a leper.
2 And the Syrians had gone out by
companies, and had brought away captive
out of the land of Yah’sar’el (Israel) a
young maid; and she waited on Naaman's
wife.
3 And she said to her mistress, If only my
master were with the prophet that is in
Shomeron (Samaria)! For he would cure
him of his leprosy. 1 Yah’sar’el (Israel) had read the letter, that
1 This young maid is the remnant of Israel in
Assyria. Note how confidently the girl declares to her and see how he seeks a quarrel against
master’s wife that her Elohim, the Elohim of Israel
can heal Naaman if he went to the prophet namely
Elisha who was well known to the Israelite captives.
The girl showed impeccable faith in the Elohim of
Israel more so than many do today who live imbecile
lives and call themselves Christians. When one reads
the story of this young girl one wonders at her zeal
and character. Her two remarks show that she must
have been privately worshipping YHWH in Assyria
and also shows that she had not lost her faith after
the brutality of the Assyrians, and even had hope
that one day she will return and indeed she will
because YHWH will dig her bones out of her grave
raise her up and bring her back home (Eze 37). This
story shows us the courage of the young girl who is
not afraid of death she utters in Assyria what could
be counted as blasphemy to say the Elohim of Israel
is greater. How could she be so brave? Because she
was not afraid to die for the Elohim of Israel and
prudently deals with the situation at hand. While
most of Christianity is stuck in the pages of the New
Testament, this girl has her faith rooted in the Torah
because she remembers YHWH as the Elohim who
sends judgments and heals. These are mentioned
numerous times in the Torah. Her reference to the
term ‘the prophet’ tells us that this term is linked to
Moses and the coming Messiah Yahushua.
This story also shows she must have loved her
master, this was no ordinary waiting girl she was
probably married to Naaman but because of his
leprosy could not have any relations with her
husband. The words used here for the first wife are
the same as used for Sarah. She knew YHWH would
4 And one went in, and told his master,
saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is
of the land of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 And the king of Syria said, Go, and I will
send a letter to the king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel). And Namaan departed, and took
with him ten talents of silver, and six
thousand pieces of gold, and ten suits of
clothes.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, Now when this
letter is come to you, behold, I have
therewith sent Naaman my servant to you,
that you may cure him of his leprosy.
7 And it came to pass, when the king of
he tore his clothes, and said, Am I Elohim,
to kill and to make alive, that this man does
send to me to recover a man of his
leprosy? Therefore consider, I pray you,
me.
heal her master then this would also restore the
marriage ties and give her a prominent status as a
result of her loyalty to her master. We have in our
world alleged Christian wives who behind their
husbands back have affairs with others, while this
girl waited for her Master to be healed. What an
incredible testimony of a woman of immense faith.
We have heard of wives who slander their husbands
unashamedly to show themselves higher in society
to make their own name yet here we have a young
woman so concerned for her master, who is willing
to risk her life, who only wanted the better of her
husband, her master.
Since she is linked to Naaman’s wife this shows us
that she is a concubine wife who loves her husband
and wants him healed and so advises her mistress
because she recognized that Naaman had failed to
acquire healing in Assyria. Naaman shows us a
desperate man who had tried everything locally but
failed to be healed. The gods of Syria were
powerless statues. Now Naaman would hurry to go
to Israel to get healed. He had to be humbled as he
had a hint of pride and he returned a healed man
and one who would serve YHWH instead of the false
gods of Assyria. One can be certain that this young
girl would be favoured in Naaman’s life for the rest
of her days there is no doubt about that her
fearlessness helped her master and shows us how to
live our lives in hostile situations.

 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of
Elohim had heard that the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) had torn his clothes, that your servant.
he sent to the king, saying, Why have you
torn your clothes? Let him come now to
me, and he shall know that there is a
prophet in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
9 So Naaman came with his horses and
with his chariot, and stood at the door of
the house of Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him,
saying, Go and wash in the Yardan
(Jordan) river seven times, and your flesh
shall be restored, and you shall be healed.
11 But Naaman was angry, and went
away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will
surely come out to me, and stand, and call
on the name of hwhy his Elohim, and
strike his hand over the place, and recover
the leprosy.1
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of
Damascus, better than all the waters of
Yah’sar’el (Israel)? Could I not wash in
them, and be healed? So he turned and
went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near, and
spoke to him, and said, My father, if the
prophet had tasked you do some difficult
thing, would you not have done it? How
much rather then, when he says to you,
Wash, and be healed?
14 Then he went down, and dipped
himself seven times in the Yardan (Jordan)
river, according to the saying of the man of
Elohim: and his flesh came again like to
the flesh of a young child, and he was
healed.
15 And he returned to the man of Elohim,
he and all his company, and came, and
stood before him: and he said, Behold,
now I know that there is no Elohim in all

know the name of YHWH or have heard it today in

therefore, I pray you, take a blessing of
16 But he said, As hwhy lives, before
whom I stand, I will receive none. And he
urged him to take it; but he refused.
17 And Naaman said, Shall there not
then, I pray you, be given to your servant
two mules' burden of earth? For your
servant will henceforth offer neither burnt
offering nor sacrifice to other mighty ones,
but to hwhy.
18 In this thing hwhy pardon your
servant, that when my master goes into the
house of Rimmon to worship there, and he
leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the
house of Rimmon: when I bow down
myself in the house of Rimmon, hwhy
pardon your servant in this thing.
19 And he said to him, Go in shalom
(peace). So he departed from him a little
way.
20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the
man of Elohim, said, Behold, my master
has spared Naaman this Syrian, in not
receiving at his hands that which he
brought: but, as hwhy lives, I will run after
him, and take somewhat of him.3
21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman.
And when Naaman saw him running after
him, he lighted down from the chariot to
meet him, and said, Is all well?
22 And he said, All is well. My master has
sent me, saying, Behold, even now there
be come to me from Mount Ephraim two
young men of the sons of the prophets:
give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and
two changes of garments.
23 And Naaman said, Be content, take
two talents. And he urged him, and bound
2 The same is true today, the only Elohim is of Israel
and the rest of the earth lives under ignorance of
thinking they serve an elohim of their fathers but
unless that is the Elohim of Israel they have nothing.
3 Now we can see why Gehazi was with Elisha,
because he was greedy and wanted material gain
and not the knowledge of YHWH.
627
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
two talents of silver in two bags, with two
changes of garments, and laid them upon
two of his servants; and they bare them
before him.
24 And when he came to the tower, he
took them from their hand, and bestowed
them in the house: and he let the men go,
and they departed.
25 But he went in, and stood before his
master. And Elisha said to him, Where
have you been, Gehazi? And he said, Your
servant went nowhere.1
26 And he said to him, I was there in
spirit with you, when the man turned again
from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to
receive money, and to receive garments,
and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep,
and oxen, and menservants, and
maidservants?
27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall
cling to you, and to your seed forever. And
he went out from his presence a leper as
white as snow.
Chapter 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said to
Elisha, Behold now, the place where we
dwell with you is too cramped for us.
2 Let us go, we pray you, to Yardan
(Jordan), and take there every man a
beam, and let us make us a place there,
where we may dwell. And he answered,
Go.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray you,
and go with your servants. And he
answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when they
came to Yardan (Jordan), they cut down
wood.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe
head fell into the mayim (water): and he
cried, and said, Alas, master! For it was
borrowed.
6 And the man of Elohim said, Where did
1 Gehazi also lies to hide his greed but YHWH shows
His prophets what is going on so they are not in the
dark.
it fall? And he showed him the place. And
he cut down a stick, and cast it in there;
and the axe head floated.
7 Therefore he said, Take it up. And he
put out his hand, and took it.
8 Then the king of Syria warred against
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and took counsel with
his servants, saying, In such and such a
place shall be my camp.
9 And the man of Elohim sent to the king
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, Beware that
you pass not such a place; for there the
Syrians are come down.
10 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) sent
to the place which the man of Elohim told
him and warned him of, and saved himself
there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore the king of Syria was very
upset for this thing; and he called his
servants, and said to them, One of us must
be helping the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
12 And one of his servants said, None,
my master, O king: but Elisha, the prophet
that is in Yah’sar’el (Israel), told the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) the words that you speak
in your bedroom.2
13 And he said, Go and spy where he is,
that I may send and fetch him. And it was
told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Therefore he sent there horses, and
chariots, and great armies: and they came
by night, and surrounded the city
roundabout.
15 And when the servant of the man of
Elohim was risen early, and gone forth,
behold, an armies surrounded the city both
with horses and chariots. And his servant
said to him, Alas, my master! What shall
we do?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they
that be with us are more than they that be
with them.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, hwhy, I
pray you, open his eyes, that he may see.
And hwhy opened the eyes of the young

628
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
man; and he saw: and, behold, the
mountain was full of horses and chariots of
fire round about Elisha. 1
18 And when they came down to him,
Elisha prayed to hwhy, and said, Smite
this people, I pray you, with blindness. And
he smote them with blindness according to
the word of Elisha.
19 And Elisha said to them, This is not
the way, neither is this the city: follow me,
and I will bring you to the man whom you
seek. But he led them to Shomeron
(Samaria).
20 And it came to pass, when they were
come into Shomeron (Samaria), that Elisha
said, hwhy, open the eyes of these men,
that they may see. And hwhy opened their
eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they
were in the midst of Shomeron (Samaria).
21 And the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) said
to Elisha, when he saw them, My father,
shall I smite them? Shall I smite them?
22 And he answered, You shall not smite
them: would you smite those whom you
have taken captive with your sword and
with your bow? Set lechem (bread) and
mayim (water) before them, that they may
eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 And he prepared great provision for
them: and when they had eaten and drunk,
he sent them away, and they went to their
master. So the bands of Syria came no
more into the land of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
24 And it came to pass after this, that
Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his
armies, and went up, and besieged
Shomeron (Samaria).
25 And there was a great famine in
Shomeron (Samaria): and, behold, they
besieged it, until a donkey's head was sold
for eighty pieces of silver, and one-fourth
part of a cab of dove's droppings for five
pieces of silver.
26 And as the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
was passing by the city wall, there cried a
1 YHWH protects / encamps around Tsadiq
(Ps 34: 7).
629
woman to him, saying, Help, my master, O
king.
27 And he said, If hwhy does not help
you, how can I help you? Out of the barn
floor, or out of the winepress?
28 And the king said to her, What ails
you? And she answered, This woman said
to me, Give your son, that we may eat him
today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
29 So we cooked my son, and ate him:
and I said to her on the next day, Give your
son, that we may eat him: and she has hid
her son.
30 And it came to pass, when the king
heard the words of the woman, that he tore
his clothes; and he passed by the city wall,
and the people looked, and, behold, he
had sackcloth upon his flesh.
31 Then he said, Elohim do so and more
also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of
Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
32 But Elisha sat in his house, and the
elders sat with him; and the king sent a
man from before him: but the messenger
came to him, he said to the elders, See
you how this son of a murderer has sent to
take away my head? Look, when the
messenger comes, shut the door, and hold
him fast at the door: is not the sound of his
master's feet behind him?
33 And while he yet talked with them,
behold, the messenger came down to him:
and he said, Behold, this evil is from hwhy;
what should I wait for hwhy any longer?
Chapter 7
1 Then Elisha said, Hear the word of
hwhy; Thus says hwhy, Tomorrow about
this time shall a measure of fine flour be
sold for a shekel, and two measures of
barley for a shekel, in the gate of
Shomeron (Samaria).
2 Then a master on whose hand the king
leaned answered the man of Elohim, and
said, Behold, if hwhy would make windows
in shamayim (heavens), might this thing
be? And he said, Behold, you shall see it
with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.
3 And there were four leprous men at the
entering in of the gate: and they said one
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
to another, Why do we sit here until we
die?
4 If we say, We will enter into the city,
then the famine is in the city, and we shall
die there: and if we sit still here, we die
also. Now therefore come, and let us
defect to the armies of the Syrians: if they
spare us alive, we shall live; and if they kill
us, we were going to die anyway.
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go to
the camp of the Syrians: and when they
were came to the outskirts of the camp of
Syria, behold, there was no man there.
6 For hwhy had made the armies of the
Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a
noise of horses, even the noise of a great
armies: and they said one to another, Lo,
the king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) has hired
against us the kings of the Hittites, and the
kings of the Mitzrim (Egyptians), to come
upon us.
7 Therefore they arose and fled in the
twilight, and left their tents, and their
horses, and their donkeys, even the camp
as it was, and fled for their life.
8 And when these lepers came to the
outskirts of the camp, they went into one
tent, and did eat and drink, and carried
there silver, and gold, and raiment, and
went and hid it; and came again, and
entered into another tent, and carried there
also, and went and hid it.
9 Then they said one to another, Its not
right what we are doing: this day is a day of
celebration, and we hold our shalom
(peace): if we stay till the morning light,
some mischief will come upon us: now
therefore come, that we may go and tell
the king's household.
10 So they came and called to the porter
of the city: and they told them, saying, We
came to the camp of the Syrians, and,
behold, there was no man there, neither
voice of man, but horses tied, and donkeys
tied, and the tents as they were.
11 And he called the porters; and they
told it to the king's house within.
12 And the king arose in the night, and
said to his servants, I will now show you
what the Syrians have done to us. They
630
know that we be hungry; therefore have
they gone out of the camp to hide
themselves in the field, saying, When they
come out of the city, we shall catch them
alive, and get into the city.
13 And one of his servants answered and
said, Let some take, I pray you, five of the
horses that remain, which are left in the
city, (behold, they are as all the multitude
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) that are left in it:
behold, I say, they are even as all the
multitude of the Israelites that are
consumed:) and let us send and see.
14 They took therefore two chariot
horses; and the king sent after the armies
of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 And they went after them to Yardan
(Jordan): and, lo, all the way was full of
garments and vessels, which the Syrians
had cast away in their haste. And the
messengers returned, and told the king.
16 And the people went out, and spoiled
the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of
fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two
measures of barley for a shekel, according
to the word of hwhy.
17 And the king appointed the master on
whose hand he leaned to have the charge
of the gate: and the people rushed out and
trampled upon him in the gate, and he
died, as the man of Elohim had said, who
spoke when the king came down to him.
18 And it came to pass as the man of
Elohim had spoken to the king, saying,
Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a
measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be
tomorrow about this time in the gate of
Shomeron (Samaria):
19 And that master answered the man of
Elohim, and said, Now, behold, if hwhy
should make windows in shamayim
(heavens), might such a thing be? And he
said, Behold, you shall see it with your
eyes, but shall not eat thereof.
20 And so it fell out to him: for the people
trampled upon him in the gate, and he
died.
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
Chapter 8
1 Then spoke Elisha to the woman,
whose son he had restored to life, saying,
Arise, and go you and your household, and
sojourn wheresoever you can sojourn: for
hwhy has called for a famine; and it shall
also come upon the land seven years.
2 And the woman arose, and did after the
saying of the man of Elohim: and she went
with her household, and sojourned in the
land of the Plushtim (Philistines) seven
years.
3 And it came to pass at the seven years
end, that the woman returned out of the
land of the Plushtim (Philistines): and she
went forth to cry to the king for her house
and for her land.
4 And the king talked with Gehazi the
servant of the man of Elohim, saying, Tell
me, I pray you, all the great things that
Elisha has done.
5 And it came to pass, as he was telling
the king how he had restored a dead body
to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son
he had restored to life, cried to the king for
her house and for her land. And Gehazi
said, My master, O king, this is the woman,
and this is her son, whom Elisha restored
to life.
6 And when the king asked the woman,
she told him. So the king appointed to her
a certain officer, saying, Restore all that
was hers, and all the fruits of the field since (Judah), Yahuram the son of Yahushafat
the day that she left the land, even until
now.
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and
Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and
it was told him, saying, The man of Elohim
is come here.
8 And the king said to Khaza’el, Take a
present in your hand, and go, meet the
man of Elohim, and enquire of hwhy by
him, saying, Shall I recover of this
disease?
9 So Khaza’el went to meet him, and took
a present with him, even of every good
thing of Damascus, forty camels burden,
and came and stood before him, and said,
Your son Ben-hadad king of Syria has sent
me to you, saying, Shall I recover of this
631
disease?
10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to
him, You may certainly recover: but hwhy
has showed me that he shall really die.
11 And he settled his countenance
steadfastly, until he was ashamed: and the
man of Elohim wept.
12 And Khaza’el said, Why do you weep
my master? And he answered, Because I
know the evil that you will do to the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): their
strongholds will you set on fire, and their
young men will you slay with the sword,
and will dash their children, and rip up their
women with child.
13 And Khaza’el said, But what, is your
servant a dog, that he should do this great
thing? And Elisha answered, hwhy has
showed me that you shall be king over
Syria.
14 So he departed from Elisha, and came
to his master; who said to him, What said
Elisha to you? And he answered, He told
me that you should surely recover.
15 And it came to pass the day after, that
he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in
mayim (water), and spread it on his face,
so that he died: and Khaza’el reigned in his
place.
16 And in the fifth year of Yoram the son
of Akhab king of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
Yahushafat being then king of Yahudah
king of Yahudah (Judah) began to reign.
17 Thirty-two years old was he when he
began to reign; and he reigned eight years
in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
18 And he walked in the way of the kings
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), as did the house of
Akhab: for the daughter of Akhab was his
wife: and he did evil in the sight of hwhy.
19 Yet hwhy would not destroy Yahudah
(Judah) for Dawud (David) his servant's
sake, as he promised him to give him
always a light, and to his children.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under
the hand of Yahudah (Judah), and made a
king over themselves.
21 So Yoram went over to Zair, and all
the chariots with him: and he rose by night,
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
and smote the Edomites which surrounded
him roundabout, and the commanders of
the chariots: and the people fled into their
tents.
22 Yet Edom revolted from under the
hand of Yahudah (Judah) to this day. Then
Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 And the rest of the acts of Yoram, and
all that he did, are they not written in the
scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah)?
24 And Yoram slept with his ahvot
(fathers), and was buried with his ahvot
(fathers) in the city of Dawud (David): and
Achazi’Yehu his son reigned in his place.
25 In the twelfth year of Yoram the son of
Akhab king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) did
Achazi’Yehu the son of Yahuram king of
Yahudah (Judah) begin to reign.
26 twenty-two years old was Achazi’Yehu
when he began to reign; and he reigned
one year in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And
his mother's name was Athalyah, the
daughter of Omri king of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
27 And he walked in the way of the house
of Akhab, and did evil in the sight of hwhy,
as did the house of Akhab: for he was the
son in law of the house of Akhab.
28 And he went with Yoram the son of
Akhab to the war against Khaza’el king of
Syria in Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians
wounded Yoram.
29 And king Yoram went back to be
healed in Yizre’el (Jezreel) of the wounds
which the Syrians had given him at
Ramah, when he fought against Khaza’el
king of Syria. And Achazi’Yehu the son of
Yahuram king of Yahudah (Judah) went
down to see Yoram the son of Akhab in
Yizre’el (Jezreel), because he was sick.
Chapter 9
1 And Elisha the prophet called one of
the children of the prophets, and said to
him, Gird up your loins, and take this box
of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-
Gilead:
2 And when you come there, look out
there Yehu (Jehu) the son of Yahushafat
the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make
632
him arise up from among his brethren, and
carry him to an inner chamber;
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on
his head, and say, Thus says hwhy, I have
anointed you king over Yah’sar’el (Israel).
Then open the door, and run away, and do
not stay.
4 So the young man, even the young
man the prophet, went to Ramoth-Gilead.
5 And when he came, behold, the
commanders of the armies were sitting;
and he said, I have an errand to do for you,
O commander. And Yehu (Jehu) said, To
which of us? And he said, To you, O
commander.
6 And he arose, and went into the house;
and he poured the oil on his head, and said
to him, Thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), I have anointed you king
over the people of hwhy, even over
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 And you shall smite the house of Akhab
your master, that I may avenge the blood
of my servants the prophets, and the blood
of all the servants of hwhy, at the hand of
Izebel (Jezebel).
8 For the whole house of Akhab shall
perish: and I will cut off from Akhab him
that pisses against the wall, and him that is
shut up and left in Yah’sar’el (Israel):
9 And I will make the house of Akhab like
the house of Yarob’am the son of Nebat,
and like the house of Baasha the son of
Akhi’yah:
10 And the dogs shall eat Izebel
(Jezebel) in the portion of Yizre’el
(Jezreel), and there shall be none to bury
her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 Then Yehu (Jehu) came forth to the
servants of his master: and one said to
him, Is all well? Why came this mad fellow
to you? And he said to them, You know the
man, and his communication.
12 And they said, It is false; tell us now.
And he said, Thus and thus spoke he to
me, saying, Thus says hwhy, I have
anointed you king over Yah’sar’el (Israel).
13 Then they hasted, and took every man
his garment, and put it under him on the
top of the stairs, and blew with the
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
shofarim, saying, Yehu (Jehu) is king.
14 So Yehu (Jehu) the son of Yahushafat
the son of Nimshi conspired against
Yoram. (Now Yoram had kept Ramoth-
Gilead, he and all Yah’sar’el (Israel),
because of Khaza’el king of Syria.
15 But king Yoram was returned to be
healed in Yizre’el (Jezreel) of the wounds
which the Syrians had given him, when he
fought with Khaza’el king of Syria.) And
Yehu (Jehu) said, If it be your minds, then
let none go forth nor escape out of the city
to go to tell it in Yizre’el (Jezreel).
16 So Yehu (Jehu) rode in a chariot, and
went to Yizre’el (Jezreel); for Yoram lay
there. And Achazi’Yehu king of Yahudah
(Judah) was come down to see Yoram.
17 And there stood a watchman on the
tower in Yizre’el (Jezreel), and he spied the
company of Yehu (Jehu) as he came, and
said, I see a company. And Yoram said,
Take a horseman, and send to meet them,
and let him say, Is everything alright?
18 So there went one on horseback to
meet him, and said, Thus says the king, Is
everything alright? And Yehu (Jehu) said,
None of your business? Turn behind me.
And the watchman told, saying, The
messenger reached them, but he has not
come back.
19 Then he sent out a second on
horseback, which came to them, and said,
Thus says the king, Is everything alright? 1
And Yehu (Jehu) answered, None of your
business? Follow me.
20 And the watchman told, saying, He
came even to them, and comes not again:
and the driving is like the driving of Yehu
(Jehu) the son of Nimshi; for he drives
recklessly.
21 And Yoram said, Make ready. And his
chariot was made ready. And Yoram king
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and Achazi’Yehu king
of Yahudah (Judah) went out, each in his
chariot, and they went out against Yehu
(Jehu), and met him in the portion of
1 In Hebrew is it peace?
633
Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 And it came to pass, when Yoram saw
Yehu (Jehu), that he said, Is everything
alright, Yehu (Jehu)? And he answered,
how can everything be alright, as long as
the whoredoms of your mother Izebel
(Jezebel) and her witchcrafts are so many?
23 And Yoram turned his hands, and fled,
and said to Achazi’Yehu, There is
treachery, O Achazi’Yehu.
24 And Yehu (Jehu) drew a bow with his
full strength, and smote Yahuram between
his arms, and the arrow went out at his
heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 Then said Yehu (Jehu) to Bidkar his
commander, Take up, and cast him in the
portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite:
for remember how that, when I and you
rode together after Akhab his father, hwhy
laid this burden upon him;
26 Surely I have seen yesterday the
blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,
says hwhy; and I will give you what you
deserve right there in this plot of land, says
hwhy. Now therefore take and cast him
into the plot of ground, according to the
word of hwhy.
27 But when Achazi’Yehu the king of
Yahudah (Judah) saw this, he fled by the
way of the Beyth Haggan. And Yehu
(Jehu) followed after him, and said, Shoot
him also in the chariot. And they did so at
the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam.
And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 And his servants carried him in a
chariot to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
buried him in his sepulchre with his ahvot
(fathers) in the city of Dawud (David).
29 And in the eleventh year of Yoram the
son of Akhab began Achazi’Yehu to reign
over Yahudah (Judah).
30 And when Yehu (Jehu) was come to
Yizre’el (Jezreel), Izebel (Jezebel) heard of
it; and she painted her face, and fixed up
her hair, and looked out at a window.
31 And as Yehu (Jehu) entered in at the
gate, she said, Is everything alright Zimri,
murderer of his master?
32 And he lifted up his face to the
window, and said, Who is on my side?
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
who? And there looked out to him two, or
three officers. 1
33 And he said, Throw her down. So they
threw her down: and some of her blood
was sprinkled on the wall, and on the
horses: and he trampled her underfoot.
34 And when he came in, he did eat and
drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed
woman, and bury her: for she is a king's
daughter.
35 And they went to bury her: but they
found no more of her than the skull, and
the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Therefore they came again, and told
him. And he said, This is the word of hwhy,
which he spoke by his servant Eliyahu
(Elijah) the Tishbite, saying, In the portion
of Yizre’el (Jezreel) shall dogs eat the flesh
of Izebel (Jezebel):
37 And the carcass of Izebel (Jezebel)
shall be as dung upon the face of the field
in the portion of Yizre’el (Jezreel); so that
they shall not say, This is Izebel (Jezebel).
Chapter 10
1 And Akhab had seventy sons in
Shomeron (Samaria). And Yehu (Jehu)
wrote letters, and sent to Shomeron
(Samaria), to the rulers of Yizre’el
(Jezreel), to the elders, and to them that
brought up Akhab's children, saying,
2 Now as soon as this letter comes to
you, seeing your master's sons are with
you, and there are with you chariots and
horses, a fenced city also, and armour;
3 Look even out the best one of your
master's sons, and set him on his father's
throne, and fight for your master's house.
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and
said, Behold, two kings could not stand
before him: how then shall we stand?
5 And he that was over the house, and he
that was over the city, the elders also, and
the guardian of the children, sent to Yehu
1 Many bibles translate this as Eunuch but the
Hebrew word is more correct as officers and not
Eunuchs.
634
(Jehu), saying, We are your servants, and
will do all that you shall bid us; we will not
make any king: do you that which is good
in your eyes.
6 Then he wrote a letter the second time
to them, saying, If you be with me, and if
you will hearken to my voice, take the
heads of the men your master's sons, and
come to me to Yizre’el (Jezreel) by
tomorrow this time. Now the king's sons,
being seventy persons, were with the great
men of the city, which brought them up.
7 And it came to pass, when the letter
came to them, that they took the king's
sons, and slew seventy persons, and put
their heads in baskets, and sent him them
to Yizre’el (Jezreel).
8 And there came a messenger, and told
him, saying, They have brought the heads
of the king's sons. And he said, Lay you
them in two heaps at the entering in of the
gate until the morning.
9 And it came to pass in the morning, that
he went out, and stood, and said to all the
people, You be righteous: behold, I
conspired against my master, and slew
him: but who slew all these?
10 Know now that there shall fall to the
earth nothing of the word of hwhy, which
hwhy spoke concerning the house of
Akhab: for hwhy has done that which he
spoke by his servant Eliyahu (Elijah).
11 So Yehu (Jehu) slew all that remained
of the house of Akhab in Yizre’el (Jezreel),
and all his great men, and his kinsfolks,
and his kohenim (priests), until he left him
none remaining.
12 And he arose and departed, and came
to Shomeron (Samaria). And as he was at
the shearing house in the way,
13 Yehu (Jehu) met with the brethren of
Achazi’Yehu king of Yahudah (Judah), and
said, Who are you? And they answered,
We are the brethren of Achazi’Yehu; and
we go down to greet the children of the
king and the children of the queen.
14 And he said, Take them alive. And
they took them alive, and slew them at the
pit of the Beyth eked, even forty-two men;
neither left he any of them.
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
15 And when he was departed there, he
lighted on Yahunadab the son of Rechab
coming to meet him: and he greeted him,
and said to him, Is your heart right, as my
heart is with your heart? And Yahunadab
answered, It is. If it be, give me your hand.
And he gave him his hand; and he took
him up to him into the chariot.
16 And he said, Come with me, and see
my zeal for hwhy. So they made him ride
in his chariot.
17 And when he came to Shomeron
(Samaria), he slew all that remained to
Akhab in Shomeron (Samaria), till he had
destroyed him, according to the saying of
hwhy, which he spoke to Eliyahu (Elijah).
18 And Yehu (Jehu) gathered all the
people together, and said to them, Akhab
served Baal a little; but Yehu (Jehu) shall
serve him much.
19 Now therefore call to me all the
prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all
his kohenim (priests); let none be wanting:
for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal;
whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not
live. But Yehu (Jehu) did it cunningly, to
the intent that he might destroy the
worshippers of Baal.
20 And Yehu (Jehu) said, Proclaim a
solemn assembly for Baal. And they
proclaimed it.
21 And Yehu (Jehu) sent through all
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and all the worshippers
of Baal came, so that there was not a man
left that came not. And they came into the
house of Baal; and the house of Baal was
full from one end to another.
22 And he said to him that was over the
vestry, Bring forth robes for all the
worshippers of Baal. And he brought them
forth robes.
23 And Yehu (Jehu) went, and
Yahunadab the son of Rechab, into the
house of Baal, and said to the worshippers
of Baal, Search, and look that there be
here with you none of the servants of
hwhy, but the worshippers of Baal only.
24 And when they went in to offer
sacrifices and burnt offerings, Yehu (Jehu)
appointed eighty men outside, and said, If
635
any of the men whom I have brought into
your hands escape, he that lets him
escape, his life shall be for the life of him.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he
had made an end of offering the burnt
offering, that Yehu (Jehu) said to the guard
and to the commanders, Go in, and slay
them; let none come forth. And they smote
them with the edge of the sword; and the
guard and the commanders cast them out,
and went to the city of the house of Baal.
26 And they brought forth the images out
of the house of Baal, and burned them.
27 And they broke down the image of
Baal, and broke down the temple of Baal,
and made it a latrine to this day.
28 Thus Yehu (Jehu) destroyed Baal out
of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
29 But from the sins of Yarob’am the son
of Nebat, who made Yah’sar’el (Israel) to
sin, Yehu (Jehu) departed not from after
them, altogether, the golden calves that
were in Beyth’el, and that were in Dan.
30 And hwhy said to Yehu (Jehu),
Because you have done well in executing
that which is right in my eyes, and have
done to the house of Akhab according to
all that was in my heart, your children up to
the fourth generation shall sit on the throne
of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
31 But Yehu (Jehu) took no heed to walk
in the Torah of hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) with all his heart: for he departed
not from the sins of Yarob’am, which made
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin.
32 In those days hwhy began to cut
Yah’sar’el (Israel) short: and Khaza’el
smote them in all the coasts of Yah’sar’el
(Israel);
33 From Yardan (Jordan) eastward, all
the land of Gilead, the Gawdites, and the
Reubenites, and the Manasshites, from
Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even
Gilead and Bashan.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Yehu
(Jehu), and all that he did, and all his
might, are they not written in the scroll of
the chronicles of the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
35 And Yehu (Jehu) slept with his ahvot
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
(fathers): and they buried him in Shomeron
(Samaria). And Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) his
son reigned in his place.
36 And the time that Yehu (Jehu) reigned
over Yah’sar’el (Israel) in Shomeron
(Samaria) was twenty eight years.
Chapter 11
1 And when Athalyah the mother of
Achazi’Yehu saw that her son was dead,
she arose and destroyed all the royal seed.
2 But Yahusheba, the daughter of king
Yoram, sister of Achazi’Yehu, took Yoash
the son of Achazi’Yehu, and stole him from
among the king's sons which were slain;
and they hid him, even him and his nurse,
in the bedroom from Athalyah, so that he
was not slain.
3 And he was with her hid in the house of
hwhy six years. And Athalyah did reign
over the land.
4 And the seventh year Yahuyada
(Yahoiada) sent and fetched the rulers
over hundreds, with the commanders and
the guard, and brought them to him into the
house of hwhy, and made a covenant with
them, and took an oath of them in the
house of hwhy, and showed them the
king's son.
5 And he commanded them, saying, This
is the thing that you shall do; A third part of (priest) commanded the commanders of
you that enter in on the Sabbath shall even
be keepers of the watch of the king's
house;
6 And a third part shall be at the gate of
Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the
guard: so shall you keep the watch of the
house, that it be not broken down.
7 And two parts of all you that go forth on
the Sabbath, even they shall keep the
watch of the house of hwhy about the king.
8 And you shall surround the king
roundabout, every man with his weapons
in his hand: and he that comes within the
ranges, let him be slain: and be you with
the king as he goes out and as he comes
in.
9 And the commanders over the
hundreds did according to all things that
Yahuyada (Yahoiada) the Kohen (priest)
636
commanded: and they took every man his
men that were to come in on the Sabbath,
with them that should go out on the
Sabbath, and came to Yahuyada
(Yahoiada) the Kohen (priest).
10 And to the commanders over
hundreds did the Kohen (priest) give king
Dawud (David)'s spears and shields, that
were in the temple of hwhy.
11 And the guard stood, every man with
his weapons in his hand, roundabout the
king, from the right corner of the Temple to
the left corner of the Temple, along by the
altar and the Temple.
12 And he brought forth the king's son,
and put the crown upon him, and gave him
the testimony; and they made him king,
and anointed him; and they clapped their
hands, and said, Elohim save the king.
13 And when Athalyah heard the noise of
the guard and of the people, she came to
the people into the Temple of hwhy.
14 And when she looked, behold, the
king stood by a pillar, as the manner was,
and the princes and the trumpeters by the
king, and all the people of the land
rejoiced, and blew with shofarim: and
Athalyah tore her clothes, and cried,
Treason, Treason.
15 But Yahuyada (Yahoiada) the Kohen
the hundreds, the officers of the armies,
and said to them, Bring her out of the
Temple to the guards: and anyone that
follows her kill with the sword. For the
Kohen (priest) had said, Let her not be
slain in the house of hwhy.
16 And they laid hands on her; and she
went by the way by which the horses came
into the king's house: and there she was
slain.
17 And Yahuyada (Yahoiada) made a
covenant between hwhy and the king and
the people, that they should be hwhy's
people; between the king also and the
people.
18 And all the people of the land went
into the house of Baal, and broke it down;
his altars and his images they broke in
pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
pagan kohen (priest) of Baal before the
altars. And the Kohen (priest) appointed
officers over the house of hwhy.
19 And he took the rulers over hundreds,
and the commanders, and the guard, and
all the people of the land; and they brought
down the king from the Temple of hwhy,
and came by the way of the gate of the
guard to the king's house. And he sat on
the throne of the kings.
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced,
and the city was in rest: for they had slain
Athalyah with the sword beside the king's
house.
21 Seven years old was Yehu’ash when
he began to reign.
Chapter 12
1 In the seventh year of Yehu (Jehu)
Yehu’ash began to reign; and forty years
reigned he in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
And his mother's name was Zibi’yah of
Beersheba.
2 And Yehu’ash did that which was right
in the sight of hwhy all his days wherein
Yahuyada (Yahoiada) the Kohen (priest)
instructed him.
3 But the high places were not taken
away: the people still sacrificed and burnt
incense in the high places.
4 And Yehu’ash said to the kohenim
(priests), All the money of the dedicated
things that is brought into the house of
hwhy, even the money of everyone that
passes the account, the money that every
man is set at, and all the money that
comes into any man's heart to bring into
the house of hwhy,
5 Let the kohenim (priests) take it to
them, every man of his acquaintance: and
let them repair the breaches of the house,
wheresoever any breach shall be found.
6 But it was so, that in the twenty-third
year of King of king Yehu’ash the kohenim
(priests) had not repaired the breaches of
the house.
7 Then king Yehu’ash called for
Yahuyada (Yahoiada) the Kohen (priest),
and the other kohenim (priests), and said
to them, Why do you not repair the
637
breaches of the house? Now therefore
receive no more money of your
acquaintance, but deliver it for the
breaches of the house.
8 And the kohenim (priests) consented to
receive no more money of the people,
neither to repair the breaches of the house.
9 But Yahuyada (Yahoiada) the Kohen
(priest) took a chest, and bored a hole in
the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on
the right side as one comes into the house
of hwhy: and the kohenim (priests) that
kept the door put therein all the money that
was brought into the house of hwhy.
10 And it was so, when they saw that
there was much money in the chest, that
the king's scribe and the Kohen ha gadol
(High Priest) came up, and they put up in
bags, and counted the money that was
found in the house of hwhy.
11 And they gave the money, being
counted, into the hands of them that did
the work, that had the oversight of the
house of hwhy: and they laid it out to the
carpenters and builders, that did the
repairs upon the Temple of hwhy,
12 And to masons, and cutters of stone,
and to buy timber and hewed stone to
repair the breaches of the house of hwhy,
and for all that was laid out for the Temple
to repair it.
13 But there were not made for the
Temple of hwhy bowls of silver, snuffers,
basins, shofarim, any vessels of gold, or
vessels of silver, of the money that was
brought into the house of hwhy:
14 But they gave that to the workmen,
and repaired therewith the house of hwhy.
15 Moreover they reckoned not with the
foremen, into whose hand they delivered
the money to be bestowed on workmen: for
they were honest.
16 The trespass money and sin money
was not brought into the house of hwhy: it
was the kohenim (priests).’
17 Then Khaza’el king of Syria went up,
and fought against Gath, and took it: and
Khaza’el set his face to go up to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
18 And Yehu’ash king of Yahudah
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
(Judah) took all the consecrated things that
Yahushafat, and Yahuram, and
Achazi’Yehu, his ahvot (fathers), kings of
Yahudah (Judah), had dedicated, and his
own consecrated things, and all the gold
that was found in the treasures of the
Temple of hwhy, and in the king's house,
and sent it to Khaza’el king of Syria: and
he went away from Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
19 And the rest of the acts of Yoash, and
all that he did, are they not written in the
scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah)?
20 And his servants arose, and made a
conspiracy, and slew Yoash in Beyth-Millo,
which goes down to Silla.
21 For Yozachar the son of Shimeath,
and Yahuzabad the son of Shomer, his
servants, smote him, and he died; and they
buried him with his ahvot (fathers) in the
city of Dawud (David): and Amazi’yah his
son reigned in his place.
Chapter 13
1 In the twentieth-third year of Yoash the
son of Achazi’Yehu king of Yahudah
(Judah) Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) the son of
Yehu (Jehu) began to reign over Yah’sar’el
(Israel) in Shomeron (Samaria), and
reigned seventeen years.
2 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy, and followed the sins of
Yarob’am the son of Nebat, which made
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin; he departed not
there from.
3 And the anger of hwhy was kindled
against Yah’sar’el (Israel), and he
delivered them into the hand of Khaza’el
king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-
hadad the son of Khaza’el, all their days.
4 And Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) besought
hwhy, and hwhy hearkened to him: for he
saw the oppression of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
because the king of Syria oppressed them.
5 And hwhy gave Yah’sar’el (Israel) a
saviour, so that they went out from under
the hand of the Syrians: and the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) dwelt in their tents, as
beforetime.
638
6 Nevertheless they departed not from
the sins of the house of Yarob’am, who
made Yah’sar’el (Israel) sin, but walked
therein: and there remained the asherah
images also in Shomeron (Samaria).
7 Neither did he leave of the people to
Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) but fifty horsemen,
and ten chariots, and ten thousand
footmen; for the king of Syria had
destroyed them, and had made them like
the dust by threshing.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Yahuakhaz
(Jehoahaz), and all that he did, and his
might, are they not written in the scroll of
the chronicles of the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
9 And Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) slept with
his ahvot (fathers); and they buried him in
Shomeron (Samaria): and Yoash his son
reigned in his place.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Yoash
king of Yahudah (Judah) began Yehu’ash
the son of Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) to reign
over Yah’sar’el (Israel) in Shomeron
(Samaria), and reigned sixteen years.
11 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy; he departed not from all the
sins of Yarob’am the son of Nebat, who
made Yah’sar’el (Israel) sin: but he walked
therein.
12 And the rest of the acts of Yoash, and
all that he did, and his might wherewith he
fought against Amazi’yah king of Yahudah
(Judah), are they not written in the scroll of
the chronicles of the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
13 And Yoash slept with his ahvot
(fathers); and Yarob’am sat upon his
throne: and Yoash was buried in
Shomeron (Samaria) with the kings of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his
sickness whereof he died. And Yoash the
king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) came down to
him, and wept over his face, and said, O
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
my father, my father,1 the chariot of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and the horsemen
thereof.
15 And Elisha said to him, Take bow and
arrows. And he took to him bow and
arrows.
16 And he said to the king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), Put your hand upon the bow. And
he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his
hands upon the king's hands.
17 And he said, Open the window
eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha
said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The
arrow of hwhy's deliverance, and the arrow
of deliverance from Syria: for you shall
smite the Syrians in Aphek, till you have
consumed them.
18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he
took them. And he said to the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), strike the ground. And
he struck three times, and stopped.
19 And the man of Elohim was angry with
him, and said, You should have struck five
or six times; then had you struck Syria till
you had consumed it: whereas now you
shall struck Syria but three times.
20 And Elisha died, and they buried him.
And the bands of the Moabites invaded the
land at the coming in of the year.
21 And it came to pass, as they were
burying a man, that, behold, they spied a
band of men; and they cast the man into
the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man
was let down, and touched the bones of
Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his
feet.2
22 But Khaza’el king of Syria oppressed
Yah’sar’el (Israel) all the days of
Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz).
23 And hwhy was gracious to them, and
had compassion on them, and had respect
to them, because of his covenant with
Abraham, Yahsac (Isaac), and Ya’acob
(Jacob), and would not destroy them,
1 Elisha was Yoash’s spiritual father or teacher and
prophet to him.
2 Even the dead prophet’s bones are valuable.
639
neither cast he them from his presence as
yet.
24 So Khaza’el king of Syria died; and
Ben-hadad his son reigned in his place.
25 And Yehu’ash the son of Yahuakhaz
(Jehoahaz) took again out of the hand of
Ben-hadad the son of Khaza’el the cities,
which he had taken out of the hand of
Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) his father by war.
Three times did Yoash beat him, and
recovered the cities of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
Chapter 14
1 In the second year of Yoash son of
Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) reigned Amazi’yah the son of
Yoash king of Yahudah (Judah).
2 He was twenty-five years old when he
began to reign, and reigned twenty-nine
years in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And
his mother's name was Yahuaddan of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
3 And he did that which was right in the
sight of hwhy, yet not like Dawud (David)
his father: he did according to all things as
Yoash his father did.
4 But the high places were not taken
away: as yet the people did sacrifice and
burnt incense on the high places.
5 And it came to pass, as soon as the
kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that
he slew his servants which had slain the
king his father.
6 But the children of the murderers he
slew not: according to that which is written
in the scroll of the Torah of Musa (Moses),
wherein hwhy commanded, saying, The
ahvot (fathers) shall not be put to death for
the children, nor the children be put to
death for the ahvot (fathers); but every
man shall be put to death for his own sin.
7 He slew of Edom in the valley of salt
ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and
called the name of it Yokthe’el to this day.
8 Then Amazi’yah sent messengers to
Yehu’ash, the son of Yahuakhaz
(Jehoahaz) son of Yehu (Jehu), king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, Come, let us
come together for battle.
9 And Yehu’ash the king of Yah’sar’el
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
(Israel) sent to Amazi’yah king of Yahudah
(Judah), saying, The thistle that was in
Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in
Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my
son to be wife: and there passed by a wild
beast that was in Lebanon, and tread down
the thistle.
10 You have indeed defeated Edom, and
it has gone to your head: and stay at
home: for why should you calamity befall
you, that you should fall, even you, and
Yahudah (Judah) with you?
11 But Amazi’yah would not hear.
Therefore Yehu’ash king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) went up; and he and Amazi’yah
king of Yahudah (Judah) looked one
another in the face at Beyth-shemesh,
which belongs to Yahudah (Judah).
12 And Yahudah (Judah) was put to the
worse before Yah’sar’el (Israel); and they
fled every man to their tents.
13 And Yehu’ash king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) took Amazi’yah king of Yahudah
(Judah), the son of Yehu’ash the son of
Achazi’Yehu, at Beyth-shemesh, and came
to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and broke
down the wall of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
from the gate of Ephraim to the corner
gate, four hundred cubits.
14 And he took all the gold and silver,
and all the vessels that were found in the
Temple of hwhy, and in the treasures of
the king's house, and hostages, and
returned to Shomeron (Samaria).
15 Now the rest of the acts of Yehu’ash
which he did, and his might, and how he
fought with Amazi’yah king of Yahudah
(Judah), are they not written in the scroll of
the chronicles of the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
16 And Yehu’ash slept with his ahvot
(fathers), and was buried in Shomeron
(Samaria) with the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); and Yarob’am his son reigned in
his place.
17 And Amazi’yah the son of Yoash king
of Yahudah (Judah) lived after the death of
Yehu’ash son of Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz)
king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) fifteen years.
18 And the rest of the acts of Amazi’yah,
640
are they not written in the scroll of the
chronicles of the kings of Yahudah
(Judah)?
19 Now they made a conspiracy against
him in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): and he
fled to Lakish; but they sent after him to
Lakish, and slew him there.
20 And they brought him on horses: and
he was buried at Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) with his ahvot (fathers) in the
city of Dawud (David).
21 And all the people of Yahudah (Judah)
took Azar’yah, which was sixteen years
old, and made him king instead of his
father Amazi’yah.
22 He built Elath, and restored it to
Yahudah (Judah), after that the king slept
with his ahvot (fathers).
23 In the fifteenth year of Amazi’yah the
son of Yoash king of Yahudah (Judah)
Yarob’am the son of Yoash king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) began to reign in
Shomeron (Samaria), and reigned forty
one years.
24 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy: he departed not from all the
sins of Yarob’am the son of Nebat, who
made Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin.
25 He restored the coast of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) from the entering of Hamath to the
sea of the plain, according to the word of
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), which
he spoke by the hand of his servant
Yonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet,
which was of Gath-Chepher.
26 For hwhy saw the affliction of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that it was very bitter:
for there was not any shut up, nor any left,
nor any helper for Yah’sar’el (Israel).
27 And hwhy had not decreed that he
would blot out the name of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) from under shamayim (heavens):
so he saved them by the hand of Yarob’am
the son of Yoash.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Yarob’am,
and all that he did, and his might, how he
warred, and how he recovered Damascus,
and Hamath, which belonged to Yahudah
(Judah), for Yah’sar’el (Israel), are they not
written in the scroll of the chronicles of the
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
kings of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
29 And Yarob’am slept with his ahvot
(fathers), even with the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); and Zachar’yehu his son reigned
in his place.
Chapter 15
1 In the twenty seventh year of Yarob’am
king of Yah’sar’el (Israel) began Azar’yah
son of Amazi’yah king of Yahudah (Judah)
to reign.
2 He was sixteen years old was when he
began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two
years in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And
his mother's name was Yakol’Yehu of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
3 And he did that which was right in the
sight of hwhy, according to all that his
father Amazi’yah had done;
4 Save that the high places were not
removed: the people sacrificed and burnt
incense still on the high places.
5 And hwhy smote the king, so that he
was a leper to the day of his death, and
dwelt in a several house. And Yahutham
the king's son was over the house, judging
the people of the land.
6 And the rest of the acts of Azar’yah,
and all that he did, are they not written in
the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah)?
7 So Azar’yah slept with his ahvot
(fathers); and they buried him with his
ahvot (fathers) in the city of Dawud
(David): and Yahutham his son reigned in
his place.
8 In the thirty eighth year of Azar’yah king
of Yahudah (Judah) did Zachar’yehu the
son of Yarob’am reign over Yah’sar’el
(Israel) in Shomeron (Samaria) six months.
9 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy, as his ahvot (fathers) had
done: he departed not from the sins of
Yarob’am the son of Nebat, who made
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin.
10 And Shallum the son of Yabesh
conspired against him, and smote him
before the people, and slew him, and
reigned in his place.
11 And the rest of the acts of
641
Zachar’yehu, behold, they are written in the
scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
12 This was the word of hwhy which he
spoke to Yehu (Jehu), saying, Your sons
shall sit on the throne of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
to the fourth generation. And so it came to
pass.
13 Shallum the son of Yabesh began to
reign in the thirtieth-ninth year of Uzzi’yah
king of Yahudah (Judah); and he reigned a
full month in Shomeron (Samaria).
14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went up
from Tirzah, and came to Shomeron
(Samaria), and smote Shallum the son of
Yabesh in Shomeron (Samaria), and slew
him, and reigned in his place.
15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum,
and his conspiracy which he made, behold,
they are written in the scroll of the
chronicles of the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
16 Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and
all that were therein, and the coasts thereof
from Tirzah: because they opened not to
him, therefore he smote it; and all the
women therein that were with child he
ripped up.
17 In the thirtieth-ninth year of Azar’yah
king of Yahudah (Judah) began Menahem
the son of Gadi to reign over Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and reigned ten years in
Shomeron (Samaria).
18 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy: he departed not all his days
from the sins of Yarob’am the son of
Nebat, who made Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin.
19 And Pul1 the king of Assyria came
against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a
thousand talents of silver, that his hand
might be with him to confirm the kingdom
in his hand.
20 And Menahem exacted the money of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), even of all the mighty
men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of
silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the
1 A nickname for Tiglath-pileser III.
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not
there in the land.
21 And the rest of the acts of Menahem,
and all that he did, are they not written in
the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
22 And Menahem slept with his ahvot
(fathers); and Peqach’yah his son reigned
in his place.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azar’yah king of
Yahudah (Judah) Peqach’yah the son of
Menahem began to reign over Yah’sar’el
(Israel) in Shomeron (Samaria), and
reigned two years.
24 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy: he departed not from the
sins of Yarob’am the son of Nebat, who
made Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin.
25 But Pekah the son of Remaili’Yehu, a
commander of his, conspired against him,
and smote him in Shomeron (Samaria), in
the palace of the king's house, with Argob
and Aryeh, and with him fifty men of the
Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned
in his room.
26 And the rest of the acts of
Peqach’yah, and all that he did, behold,
they are written in the scroll of the
chronicles of the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
27 In the fifty second year of Azar’yah
king of Yahudah (Judah) Pekah the son of
Remaili’Yehu began to reign over
Yah’sar’el (Israel) in Shomeron (Samaria),
and reigned twenty years.
28 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy: he departed not from the
sins of Yarob’am the son of Nebat, who
made Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) came Tiglath-pileser king of
Assyria, and took Iyon, and Abel-Beyth-
maachah, and Yanowah, and Kedesh, and
Khatzor (Hazor), and Gilead, and Galilee,
all the land of Naphtali, and carried them
captive to Assyria.
30 And Hoshea the son of Elah made a
conspiracy against Pekah the son of
Remaili’Yehu, and smote him, and slew
him, and reigned in his place, in the
642
twentieth year of Yahutham the son of
Uzzi’yah.
31 And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and
all that he did, behold, they are written in
the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
32 In the second year of Pekah the son of
Remaili’Yehu king of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
began Yahutham the son of Uzzi’yah king
of Yahudah (Judah) to reign.
33 He was twenty Five years old when he
began to reign, and he reigned sixteen
years in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And
his mother's name was Yahrusha, the
daughter of Tzadok.
34 And he did that which was right in the
sight of hwhy: he did according to all that
his father Uzzi’yah had done.
35 But the high places were not removed:
the people sacrificed and burned incense
still in the high places. He built the higher
gate of the Temple of hwhy.
36 Now the rest of the acts of Yahutham,
and all that he did, are they not written in
the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah)?
37 In those days hwhy began to send
against Yahudah (Judah) Rezin the king of
Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaili’Yehu.
38 And Yahutham slept with his ahvot
(fathers), and was buried with his ahvot
(fathers) in the city of Dawud (David) his
father: and Achaz his son reigned in his
place.
Chapter 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the
son of Remaili’Yehu Achaz the son of
Yahutham king of Yahudah (Judah) began
to reign.
2 Achaz was twenty years old when he
began to reign, and reigned sixteen years
in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and did not
do that which was right in the sight of hwhy
his Elohim, like Dawud (David) his father.
3 But he walked in the way of the kings of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), yes, and made his son
to pass through the fire, according to the
abominations of the heathen, whom hwhy
cast out from before the children of
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in
the high places, and on the hills, and under
every green etz (tree).
5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah
son of Remaili’Yehu king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) came up to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) to war: and they besieged
Achaz, but could not overcome him.
6 At that time Rezin king of Syria
recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the
Yahudim (Jewish people) from Elath: and
the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there
to this day.
7 So Achaz sent messengers to Tiglath-
pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am your
servant and your son: come up, and save
me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and
out of the hand of the king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), which rise up against me.
8 And Achaz took the silver and gold that
was found in the Temple of hwhy, and in
the treasures of the king's house, and sent
it for a present to the king of Assyria.
9 And the king of Assyria hearkened to
him: for the king of Assyria went up against
Damascus, and took it, and carried the
people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
10 And king Achaz went to Damascus to
meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and
saw an altar that was at Damascus: and
king Achaz sent to Uri’yah the kohen
(priest) the fashion of the altar, and the
pattern of it, according to all the
workmanship thereof.
11 And Uri’yah the kohen (priest) built an
altar according to all that king Achaz had
sent from Damascus: so Uri’yah the kohen
(priest) made it against king Achaz came
from Damascus.
12 And when the king was come from
Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the
king approached to the altar, and offered
thereon.
13 And he burnt his burnt offering and his
meat offering, and poured his drink
offering, and sprinkled the blood of his
shalom (peace) offerings, upon the altar.
14 And he brought also the brazen altar,
which was before hwhy, from the forefront
643
of the house, from between the altar and
the Temple of hwhy, and put it on the north
side of the altar.
15 And king Achaz commanded Uri’yah
the kohen (priest), saying, Upon the great
altar burn the morning burnt offering, and
the evening grain offering, and the king's
burnt sacrifice, and his grain offering, with
the burnt offering of all the people of the
land, and their grain offering, and their
drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the
blood of the burnt offering, and all the
blood of the sacrifice: and the brazen altar
shall be for me to enquire by.
16 Thus did Uri’yah the kohen (priest),
according to all that king Achaz
commanded.
17 And king Achaz cut off the borders of
the bases, and removed the laver from off
them; and took down the sea from off the
brazen oxen that were under it, and put it
upon a pavement of stones.
18 And the covered way for the Sabbath
that they had built in the house, and the
king's entry outside, turned he from the
house of hwhy for the king of Assyria.
19 Now the rest of the acts of Achaz
which he did, are they not written in the
scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah)?
20 And Achaz slept with his ahvot
(fathers), and was buried with his ahvot
(fathers) in the city of Dawud (David): and
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) his son reigned in
his place.
Chapter 17
1 In the twelfth year of Achaz king of
Yahudah (Judah) began Hoshea the son of
Elah to reign in Shomeron (Samaria) over
Yah’sar’el (Israel) nine years.
2 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy, but not as the kings of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) that were before him.
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king
of Assyria; and Hoshea became his
servant, and gave him presents.
4 And the king of Assyria found revolt in
Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to
So, king of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and brought
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
no present to the king of Assyria, as he
had done year by year: therefore the king
of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in
prison.
5 Then the king of Assyria came up
throughout all the land, and went up to
Shomeron (Samaria), and besieged it three
years.
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of
Assyria took Shomeron (Samaria), and
carried Yah’sar’el (Israel) away into
Assyria, and placed them in Chalah and in
Chabor by the river of Gozan, and in the
cities of the Medes. 1
7 For so it was, that the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) had sinned against
hwhy their Elohim, which had brought
them up out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), from under the hand of Pharaoh
king of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and had feared
other mighty ones,
8 And walked in the statutes of the
heathen, whom hwhy cast out from before
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and of
the kings of Yah’sar’el (Israel), which they
had made.
9 And the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
did secretly those things that were not right
against hwhy their Elohim, and they built
them high places in all their cities, from the
tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
10 And they set them up sacred pillars
and asherah images in every high hill, and
under every green etz (tree):
11 And there they burnt incense in all the
high places, as did the heathen whom
hwhy carried away before them; and
wrought wicked things to provoke hwhy to
anger:
12 For they served idols, which hwhy had
said to them, You shall not do this thing.
13 Yet hwhy testified against Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and against Yahudah (Judah), by
all the prophets, and by all the seers,
saying, Return from your evil ways, and
keep my commandments and my statutes,
1 Areas of Kurdistan.
644
according to all the Torah which I
commanded your ahvot (fathers), and
which I sent to you by my servants the
prophets.
14 Notwithstanding they would not hear,
but hardened their necks, like to the neck
of their ahvot (fathers), that did not believe
in hwhy their Elohim.
15 And they rejected his statutes, and his
covenant that he made with their ahvot
(fathers), and his testimonies which he
testified against them; and they followed
vanity, and became vain, and went after
the heathen that were roundabout them,
concerning whom hwhy had commanded
them, that they should not do like them.
16 And they left all the commandments of
hwhy their Elohim, and made them molten
images, even two calves, and made a
asherah pillar, and worshipped all the
armies of shamayim (heavens), and served
Baal.
17 And they sacrificed their sons and
their daughters to be burned in the fire, and
used divination and enchantments, and
sold themselves to do evil in the sight of
hwhy, to provoke him to anger.
18 Therefore hwhy was very angry with
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and removed them out
of his sight: there was none left but the
tribe of Yahudah (Judah) only.
19 Also Yahudah (Judah) kept not the
commandments of hwhy their Elohim, but
walked in the statutes of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
which they made.
20 And hwhy rejected all the seed of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and afflicted them, and
delivered them into the hand of spoilers,
until he had cast them out of his sight.
21 For he tore Yah’sar’el (Israel) from the
house of Dawud (David); and they made
Yarob’am the son of Nebat king: and
Yarob’am drove Yah’sar’el (Israel) from
following hwhy, and made them sin a great
sin.
22 For the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
walked in all the sins of Yarob’am which he
did; they departed not from them;
23 Until hwhy removed Yah’sar’el (Israel)
out of his sight, as he had said by all his
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
servants the prophets. So was Yah’sar’el
(Israel) carried away out of their own land
to Assyria to this day.
24 And the king of Assyria brought men
from Babylon, and from Kuthah, and from
Awwa, and from Hamath, and from
Sepharwayim, and placed them in the
cities of Shomeron (Samaria) instead of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): and they
possessed Shomeron (Samaria), and dwelt
in the cities thereof.
25 And so it was at the beginning of their
dwelling there, that they feared not hwhy:
therefore hwhy sent lions among them,
which slew some of them.
26 Therefore they spoke to the king of
Assyria, saying, The nations which you
have removed, and placed in the cities of
Shomeron (Samaria), know not the manner
of the Elohim of the land: therefore he has
sent lions among them, and, behold, they
slay them, because they know not the
manner of the Elohim of the land.
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded,
saying, Carry there one of the kohenim
(priests) whom you brought from there; and
let them go and dwell there, and let him
teach them the manner of the Elohim of the
land.
28 Then one of the kohenim (priests)
whom they had carried away from
Shomeron (Samaria) came and dwelt in
Beyth’el, and taught them how they should
fear hwhy.
29 But every nation made mighty ones of
their own, and put them in the houses of
the high places which the Samaritans had
made, every nation in their cities wherein
they dwelt.
30 And the men of Babylon made
Succoth-benoth, and the men of Kuth
made Nergal, and the men of Hamath
made Ashima,
31 And the Awwites made Nibhaz and
Tartak, and the Sepharwites burnt their
children in fire to Adrammelech and
Anammelech, the mighty ones of
Sepharwayim.
32 So they feared hwhy, and made to
themselves of the lowest of them kohenim
645
(priests) of the high places, which
sacrificed for them in the houses of the
high places.
33 They feared hwhy, and served their
own mighty ones, after the manner of the
nations whom they carried away from
there.
34 To this day they do after the former
manners: they fear not hwhy, neither do
they after their statutes, or after their
ordinances, or after the Torah and
commandment which hwhy commanded
the children of Ya’acob (Jacob), whom he
named Yah’sar’el (Israel);
35 With whom hwhy had made a
covenant, and charged them, saying, You
shall not fear other mighty ones, nor bow
yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor
sacrifice to them:
36 But hwhy, who brought you up out of
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) with great
power and a stretched out arm, him shall
you fear, and him shall you worship, and to
him shall you do sacrifice.
37 And the statutes, and the ordinances,
and the Torah, and the commandment,
which he wrote for you, you shall observe
to do forevermore; and you shall not fear
other mighty ones.
38 And the covenant that I have made
with you, you shall not forget; neither shall
you fear other mighty ones.
39 But hwhy your Elohim you shall fear;
and he shall deliver you out of the hand of
all your enemies.
40 But they did not hearken, but they did
after their former manner.
41 So these nations feared hwhy, and
served their graven images, both their
children, and their children's children: as
did their ahvot (fathers), so do they to this
day.
Chapter 18
1 Now it came to pass in the third year of
Hoshea son of Elah king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), that Chezeqiyahu (Hezekiah) the
son of Achaz king of Yahudah (Judah)
began to reign.
2 He was twenty-five years old was when
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
he began to reign; and he reigned twenty
nine years in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
His mother's name also was Abi, the
daughter of Zachar’yehu.
3 And he did that which was right in the
sight of hwhy, according to all that Dawud
(David) his father did.
4 He removed the high places, and broke
the images, and cut down the asherah
poles, and broke in pieces the brazen
serpent that Musa (Moses) had made: for
to those days the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) did burn incense to it: and he called
it Nehushtan.
5 He trusted in hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); so that after him was none like him
among all the kings of Yahudah (Judah),
nor any that were before him.
6 For he cling on to hwhy, and departed
not from following him, but kept his
commandments, which hwhy commanded
Musa (Moses).
7 And hwhy was with him; and he
prospered wherever he went forth:1 and he
rebelled against the king of Assyria, and
served him not.
8 He smote the Plushtim (Philistines),
even to Azzah (Gaza), and the borders
thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to
the fenced city.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of
king Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), which was the
seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that Shalmaneser king
of Assyria came up against Shomeron
(Samaria), and besieged it.
10 And at the end of three years they
took it: even in the sixth year of Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah), that is the ninth year of
Hoshea king of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
Shomeron (Samaria) was taken.
11 And the king of Assyria did carry away
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to Assyria, and put them
in Chalah and in Chabor by the river of
Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
1 Even today obedience to Torah will bring
prosperity.
646
12 Because they obeyed not the voice of
hwhy their Elohim, but transgressed his
covenant, and all that Musa (Moses) the
servant of hwhy commanded, and would
not hear them, nor do them.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) did Senchareb king
of Assyria come up against all the fenced
cities of Yahudah (Judah), and took them.
14 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) king of
Yahudah (Judah) sent to the king of
Assyria to Lakish, saying, I have violated
the treaty; if you leave: I will do whatever
you demand. And the king of Assyria
appointed to Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) king of
Yahudah (Judah) three hundred talents of
silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) gave him
all the silver that was found in the house of
hwhy, and in the treasures of the king's
house.
16 At that time did Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
cut off the gold from the doors of the
Temple of hwhy, and from the pillars which
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah) had overlaid, and gave it to the
king of Assyria.
17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan
and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lakish
to king Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) with a great
armies against Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
And they went up and came to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And when they
were come up, they came and stood by the
conduit of the upper pool, which is in the
highway where they wash and dry clothes.
18 And when they had called to the king,
there came out to them Eliyakim the son of
Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah), which was over the
household, and Shebna the scribe, and
Yoach the son of Asaph the recorder.
19 And Rabshakeh said to them, Speak
now to Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), Thus says
the great king, the king of Assyria, What
confidence is this wherein you trust?
20 You say, but they are but vain words, I
have counsel and strength for the war.
Now on whom do you trust that you rebel
against me?
21 Now, behold, you trust upon the staff
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
of this bruised reed, even upon Mitzrayim
(Egypt), on which if a man lean, it will go
into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh
king of Mitzrayim (Egypt) to all that trust on
him.
22 But if you say to me, We trust in hwhy
our Elohim: is not that he, who’s high
places and whose altars Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) has taken away, and has said
to Yahudah (Judah) and Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), You shall worship before this
altar in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)?
23 Now therefore, I pray you, give
pledges to my master the king of Assyria,
and I will deliver you two thousand horses,
if you be able on your part to set riders
upon them.
24 How then will you turn away the face
of one commander of the least of my
master's servants, and put your trust on
Mitzrayim (Egypt) for chariots and for
horsemen?
25 Am I now come up without hwhy
against this place to destroy it? hwhy said
to me, Go up against this land, and destroy
it. 1
26 Then said Eliyakim the son of
Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah), and Shebna, and
Yoach, to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray you,
to your servants in the Aramaic language;
for we understand it: and talk not with us in
the Abrahu (Hebrew) language in the ears
of the people that are on the wall.
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, Has my
master sent me to your master, and to you,
to speak these words? Has he not sent me
to the men who sit on the wall, that they
may eat their own excrement, and drink
their own urine with you? 2 should deliver Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with
a loud voice in the Yahudim language
1 YHWH never sent him so he was lying. We must
not take other people’s words for what YHWH said
especially since they have no relationship with
YHWH and only have heard His name.
2 Threat that if they siege the people would do
anything to stay alive.
647
(Jewish tongue), and spoke, saying, Hear
the word of the great king, the king of
Assyria:
29 Thus says the king, Let not
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) deceive you: for he
shall not be able to deliver you out of his
hand:
30 Neither let Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
make you trust in hwhy, saying, and hwhy
will surely deliver us, and this city shall not
be delivered into the hand of the king of
Assyria.
31 Hearken not to Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah): for thus says the king of
Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a
present, and come out to me, and then eat
every man of his own vine, and every one
of his fig etz (tree), and drink every one the
waters of his fountain:
32 Until I come and take you away to a
land like your own land, a land of corn and
wine, a land of lechem (bread) and
vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey,
that you may live, and not die: and hearken
not to Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), when he
persuades you, saying, hwhy will deliver
us.3
33 Has any of the mighty ones of the
nations delivered at all his land out of the
hand of the king of Assyria?
34 Where are the mighty ones of
Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the
mighty ones of Sepharwayim, Hena, and
Iwwah? Have they delivered Shomeron
(Samaria) out of my hand?
35 Who are they among all the mighty
ones of the countries, that have delivered
their country out of my hand, that hwhy
out of my hand?
36 But the people held their shalom
(peace), and answered him not a word: for
the king's commandment was, saying,
Answer him not.
37 Then came Eliyakim the son of
Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah), which was over the
3 This was indeed blasphemy against YHWH.
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
household, and Shebna the scribe, and
Yoach the son of Asaph the recorder, to
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) with their clothes
tore, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Chapter 19
1 And it came to pass, when king
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) heard it, that he
tore his clothes, and covered himself with
sackcloth, and went into the Temple of
hwhy.
2 And he sent Eliyakim, which was over
the household, and Shebna the scribe, and
the elders of the kohenim (priests),
covered with sackcloth, to Yesha’yahu
(Isaiah) the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 And they said to him, Thus says
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), This day is a day
of trouble, and of insults, and blasphemy:
for as the child is ready to be born, but the
mother lacks the strength to bring forth.
4 It may be that hwhy your Elohim will
hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom
the king of Assyria his master has sent to
reproach the living Elohim; and will reprove
the words which hwhy your Elohim has
heard: Therefore lift up your prayer for the
remnant that are left.
5 So the servants of king Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) came to Yesha’yahu (Isaiah).
6 And Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) said to them,
Thus shall you say to your master, Thus
says hwhy, Be not afraid of the words
which you have heard, with which the
servants of the king of Assyria have
blasphemed me.
7 Behold, I will send him a ruach (spirit),
and he shall hear a report, and shall return
to his own land; and I will cause him to fall
by the sword in his own land.
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the
king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for
he had heard that he was departed from
Lakish.
9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah
king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to
fight against you: he sent messengers
again to Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), saying,
10 Thus shall you speak to Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) king of Yahudah (Judah),
648
saying, Let not your Elohim in whom you
trust deceive you, saying, Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) shall not be delivered into the
hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Behold, you have heard what the
kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by
destroying them utterly: and shall you be
delivered?
12 Have the mighty ones of the nations
delivered them which my ahvot (fathers)
have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and
Rezeph, and the children of Ayden (Eden)
which were in Thelasar?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the
king of Arpad, and the king of the city of
Sepharwayim, of Hena, and Iwwah?
14 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) received
the letter of the hand of the messengers,
and read it: and Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
went up into the Temple of hwhy, and
spread it before hwhy.
15 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) prayed
before hwhy, and said, O hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), which dwells between
the Cherubims, you are Elohim, even you
alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you
have made shamayim (heavens) and the
earth.
16 hwhy, bow down your ear, and hear:
open, hwhy, your eyes, and see: and hear
the words of Senchareb, which has sent
him to reproach the living Elohim.
17 Of a truth, hwhy, the kings of Assyria
have destroyed the nations and their lands,
18 And have cast their mighty ones into
the fire: for they were not mighty ones, but
the work of men's hands, wood and stone:
therefore they have destroyed them.
19 Now therefore, O hwhy our Elohim, I
beseech you, save you us out of his hand,
that all the kingdoms of the earth may
know that you are hwhy Elohim, even you
only.
20 Then Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) the son of
Amoz sent to Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah),
saying, Thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), That which you have
prayed to me against Senchareb king of
Assyria I have heard.
21 This is the word that hwhy has spoken
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
concerning him; The virgin the daughter of
Tsiyon has despised you, and laughed you
to scorn; the daughter of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) has shaken her head at you.
22 Whom have you reproached and
blasphemed? And against whom have you
exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes
on high? Even against the Set-Apart One
of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
23 By your messengers you have
reproached hwhy, and have said, With the
multitude of my chariots I am come up to
the height of the mountains, to the sides of
Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar
etzim (trees) thereof, and the choice fir
etzim (trees) thereof: and I will enter into
the lodgings of his borders, and into the
forest of his Carmel.
24 I have dug and drunk strange waters,
and with the sole of my feet have I dried up
all the rivers of besieged places.
25 Have you not heard long ago how I
have done it, and of ancient times that I
have formed it? Now have I brought it to
pass, that you should be to lay waste
fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of
small power, they were dismayed and
confounded; they were as the grass of the
field, and as the green herb, as the grass
on the housetops, and as corn blasted
before it be grown up.
27 But I know your abode, and your going
out, and your coming in, and your rage
against me.
28 Because your rage against me and
your tumult is come up into my ears,
therefore I will put my hook in your nose,
and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn
you back by the way by which you came.
29 And this shall be a sign to you, You
shall eat this year such things as grow of
themselves, and in the second year that
which springs of the same; and in the third
year you sow, and reap, and plant
vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.
30 And the remnant that has escaped of
the Beyth (house) of Yahudah (Judah)
shall yet again take root downward, and
bear fruit upward.
649
31 For out of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
shall go forth a remnant, and they that
escape out of Mount Tsiyon: the zeal of
hwhy of hosts shall do this.
32 Therefore thus says hwhy concerning
the king of Assyria; He shall not come into
this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor
come before it with shield, nor cast a bank
against it.
33 By the way that he came, by the same
shall he return, and shall not come into this
city, says hwhy.
34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for
my own sake, and for my servant Dawud
(David)'s sake.
35 And it came to pass that night that the
Malakh hwhy went out, and smote in the
camp of the Assyrians a hundred eighty-
five thousand: and when they arose early
in the morning, behold, they were all dead
corpses.
36 So Senchareb king of Assyria
departed, and went and returned, and
dwelt at Nineveh.
37 And it came to pass, as he was
worshipping in the house of Nisroch his
Elohim, that Adrammelech and Sharezer
his sons smote him with the sword: and
they escaped into the land of Armenia. And
Esar-haddon his son reigned in his place.
Chapter 20
1 In those days was Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) sick to death. And the prophet
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) the son of Amoz came
to him, and said to him, Thus says hwhy,
Set your house in order; for you shall die,
and not live.
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and
prayed to hwhy, saying,
3 I beseech you, O hwhy, remember now
how I have walked before you in truth and
with a perfect heart, and have done that
which is good in your sight. And
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) wept sore.
4 And it came to pass, afore Yesha’yahu
(Isaiah) was gone out into the middle court,
that the word of hwhy came to him, saying,
5 Turn again, and tell Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) the commander of my people,
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
Thus says hwhy, the Elohim of Dawud
(David) your father, I have heard your
prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I
will heal you: on the third day you shall go
up to the Temple of hwhy.
6 And I will add to your days fifteen years; house have they seen: there is nothing
and I will deliver you and this city out of the among my treasures that I have not
hand of the king of Assyria; and I will
defend this city for my own sake, and for
my servant Dawud (David)'s sake.
7 And Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) said, Take a
cake of figs. And they took and laid it on
the boil, and he recovered.
8 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) said to
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah), What shall be the
sign that hwhy will heal me, and that I shall
go up into the Temple of hwhy the third
day?
9 And Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) said, This sign
shall you have of hwhy, that hwhy will do
the thing that he has spoken: shall the
shadow go forward ten degrees, or go
back ten degrees?
10 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) answered,
It is an easy thing for the shadow to go
down ten degrees: No, but let the shadow
return backward ten degrees.
11 And Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) the prophet
called to hwhy: and he brought the shadow
ten degrees backward, by which it had
gone down in the dial of Achaz.
12 At that time Berodak-baladan, the son
of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters
and a present to Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah):
for he had heard that Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) had been sick.
13 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) hearkened
to them, and showed them all the house of
his precious things, the silver, and the gold, five years in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
and the spices, and the precious ointment,
and all the house of his armour, and all that
was found in his treasures: there was
nothing in his house, nor in all his
dominion, that Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
showed them not.
14 Then came Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) the
prophet to king Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), and
said to him, What did these men say? And
from where do they come from? And
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) said, They are
650
come from a far country, even from
Babylon.
15 And he said, What have they seen in
your house? And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
answered, All the things that are in my
showed them.
16 And Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) said to
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), Hear the word of
hwhy.
17 Behold, the days come, that all that is
in your house, and that which your ahvot
(fathers) have laid up in store to this day,
shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall
be left, says hwhy.
18 And of your sons that shall issue from
you, which you shall beget, shall they take
away; and they shall be eunuchs in the
palace of the king of Babylon.
19 Then said Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) to
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah), Good is the word of
hwhy which you have spoken. And he
said, is it not good, if shalom (peace) and
truth be in my days?
20 And the rest of the acts of Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah), and all his might, and how he
made a pool, and a conduit, and brought
mayim (water) into the city, are they not
written in the scroll of the chronicles of the
kings of Yahudah (Judah)?
21 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) slept with
his ahvot (fathers): and Manashsheh his
son reigned in his place.
Chapter 21
1 Manashsheh was twelve years old
when he began to reign, and reigned fifty-
And his mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy, after the abominations of
the heathen, whom hwhy cast out before
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
3 For he built up again the high places
which Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) his father
had destroyed; and he reared up altars for
Baal, and made an asherah pole, as did
Akhab king of Yah’sar’el (Israel); and
bowed down to all the host of shamayim
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
(heavens), and served them.
4 And he built altars in the house of
hwhy, of which hwhy said, In
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) will I put my
name.
5 And he built altars for all the hosts of
shamayim (heavens) in the two courts of
the Temple of hwhy.
1
6 And he sacrificed his sons in the fire,
and observed times, and used
enchantments, and dealt with mediums
and spiritists: he wrought much
wickedness in the sight of hwhy, to
provoke him to anger.
7 And he set a graven image of asherah
that he had made in the Temple, of which
hwhy said to Dawud (David), and to
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) his son, In this
house, and in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
which I have chosen out of all tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), will I put my name
forever:
8 Neither will I make the feet of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) move any more out of the land
which I gave their ahvot (fathers); only if
they will observe to do according to all that
I have commanded them, and according to
all the Torah that my servant Musa
(Moses) commanded them.
9 But they hearkened not: and
Manashsheh seduced them to do more evil
than did the nations whom hwhy destroyed
before the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
10 And hwhy spoke by his servants the
prophets, saying,
11 Because Manashsheh king of
Yahudah (Judah) has done these
abominations, and has done wickedly
above all that the Amorites did, which were
before him, and has made Yahudah
(Judah) also to sin with his idols:
12 Therefore thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Behold, I am bringing
such evil upon Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
and Yahudah (Judah), that whosoever
1 We take the older reading from the LXX for sons
as in the plural. The KJV has the singular son.
651
hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.
13 And I will stretch over Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) the line of Shomeron
(Samaria), and the plummet of the house
of Akhab: and I will wipe Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) as a man wipes a dish, wiping
it, and turning it upside down.
14 And I will forsake the remnant of my
inheritance, and deliver them into the hand
of their enemies; and they shall become a
prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
15 Because they have done that which
was evil in my sight, and have provoked
me to anger, since the day their ahvot
(fathers) came forth out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), even to this day.
16 Moreover Manashsheh shed a lot of
innocent blood, till he had filled
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) from end to end;
beside his sin wherewith he made
Yahudah (Judah) to sin, in doing that which
was evil in the sight of hwhy.
17 Now the rest of the acts of
Manashsheh, and all that he did, and his
sin that he sinned, are they not written in
the scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah)?
18 And Manashsheh slept with his ahvot
(fathers), and was buried in the garden of
his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and
Amon his son reigned in his place.
19 Amon was twenty-two years old when
he began to reign, and he reigned two
years in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And
his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the
daughter of Haruz of Yotbah.
20 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the hwhy, as his father
Manashsheh did.
21 And he walked in all the way that his
father walked in, and served the idols that
his father served, and worshipped them:
22 And he forsook hwhy Elohim of his
ahvot (fathers), and walked not in the way
of hwhy.
23 And the servants of Amon conspired
against him, and slew the king in his own
house.
24 And the people of the land slew all
them that had conspired against king
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
Amon; and the people of the land made
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) his son king in his
place.
25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon
which he did, are they not written in the
scroll of the chronicles of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah)?
26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in
the garden of Uzza: and Yoshiyahu
(Josiah) his son reigned in his place.
Chapter 22
1 Yoshiyahu (Josiah) was eight years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned
thirty-one years in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem). And his mother's name was
Yedidah, the daughter of Ada’yah of
Botsqath.
2 And he did that which was right in the
sight of hwhy, and walked in all the way of
Dawud (David) his father, and turned not
aside to the right hand or to the left.
3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth
year of king Yoshiyahu (Josiah), that the
king sent Shaphan the son of Azali’yah, the
son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house
of hwhy, saying,
4 Go up to Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah) the
Kohen ha gadol (High Priest), that he may
count the silver which is brought into the
house of hwhy, which the keepers of the
door have gathered of the people:
5 And let them deliver it into the hand of
the doers of the work that have the
oversight of the Temple of hwhy: and let
them give it to the doers of the work which
is in the Temple of hwhy, to repair the
breaches of the house,
6 To carpenters, and builders, and
masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone
to repair the house.
7 But there was no reckoning made with
them of the money that was delivered into
their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
8 And Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah) the Kohen ha
gadol (High Priest) said to Shaphan the
scribe, I have found the scroll of the Torah
in the Temple of hwhy. And Khiliqiyahu
(Hilkiah) gave the scroll to Shaphan, and
he read it.
9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the
king, and brought the king word again, and
said, Your servants have gathered the
money that was found in the Temple, and
have delivered it into the hand of them that
do the work, that have the oversight of the
Temple of hwhy.
10 And Shaphan the scribe showed the
king, saying, Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah) Kohen ha
gadol (High Priest) has delivered me a
scroll. And Shaphan read it before the king.
11 And it came to pass, when the king
had heard the words of the scroll of the
Torah, that he tore his clothes.
12 And the king commanded Khiliqiyahu
(Hilkiah) the Kohen ha gadol (High Priest),
and Akhikam the son of Shaphan, and
Akbor the son of Mika’yah, and Shaphan
the scribe, and Asah’yah a servant of the
king's, saying,
13 Go, and enquire of hwhy for me, and
for the people, and for all Yahudah
(Judah), concerning the words of this scroll
that is found: for great is the wrath of hwhy
that is kindled against us, because our
ahvot (fathers) have not hearkened to the
words of this scroll, to do according to all
that which is written concerning us.1
14 So Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah) the Kohen ha
gadol (High Priest), and Akhikam, and
Akbor, and Shaphan, and Asah’yah, went
to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of
Shallum the son of Tikwah, the son of
Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she
dwelt in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) in the
college;) and they communed with her.
15 And she said to them, Thus says
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), Tell the
man that sent you to me,
16 Thus says hwhy, Behold, I will bring
evil upon this place, and upon the
1 They didn’t say that this Torah was for the ancient
people back then in Moses’ time only the ignorant
Pastor’s say this today. The wrath and curse remains
on those who still refuse to obey it that includes
Christians. Yahushua’s blood does not remove the
curse of disobedience only obedience will.
652
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
inhabitants thereof, even all the words of
the scroll which the king of Yahudah
(Judah) has read:
17 Because they have forsaken me, and
have burned incense to other mighty ones,
that they might provoke me to anger with
all the works of their hands; therefore my
wrath shall be kindled against this place,
and shall not be quenched.
18 But to the king of Yahudah (Judah)
which sent you to enquire of hwhy, thus
shall you say to him, Thus says hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), As touching
the words which you have heard;
19 Because your heart was tender, and
you have humbled yourself before hwhy,
when you heard what I spoke against this
place, and against the inhabitants thereof,
that they should become a desolation and
a curse, and have tore your clothes, and
wept before me; I also have heard you,
says hwhy.
20 Behold therefore, I will gather you to
your ahvot (fathers), and you shall be
gathered into your grave in shalom
(peace); and your eyes shall not see all the
evil which I will bring upon this place. And
they brought the king word again.
Chapter 23
1 And the king sent, and they gathered to
him all the elders of Yahudah (Judah) and
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
2 And the king went up into the Temple of
hwhy, and all the men of Yahudah (Judah)
and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) with him, and the kohenim
(priests), and the prophets, and all the
people, both small and great: and he read
in their ears all the words of the scroll of
the covenant which was found in the
Temple of hwhy.
3 And the king stood by a pillar, and
made a covenant before hwhy, to walk
after hwhy, and to keep his
commandments and his testimonies and
his statutes with all their heart and all their (bread) among their brethren.
soul, to perform the words of this covenant
that were written in this scroll. And all the
people stood to the covenant.
653
4 And the king commanded Khiliqiyahu
(Hilkiah) the Kohen ha gadol (High Priest),
and the kohenim (priests) of the second
order, and the keepers of the door, to bring
forth out of the Temple of hwhy all the
vessels that were made for Baal, and for
the asherah pole, and for all the hosts of
the shamayim (heavens): and he burned
them outside Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) in
the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes
of them to Beyth’el.
5 And he put down the idolatrous
kohenim (priests), whom the kings of
Yahudah (Judah) had ordained to burn
incense in the high places in the cities of
Yahudah (Judah), and in the places round
about Yerushalayim (Jerusalem); them
also that burned incense to Baal, to the
sun, and to the moon, and to the planets,
and to all the hosts of the shamayim
(heavens).
6 And he brought out the asherah pole
from the Temple of hwhy, outside
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), to the brook
Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron,
and stamped it small to powder, and cast
the powder thereof upon the graves of the
children of the people.
7 And he broke down the cubicles of the
male cultic prostitutes that were in the
Temple of hwhy, where the women wove
hangings for the asherah poles.
8 And he brought all the kohenim
(priests) out of the cities of Yahudah
(Judah), and defiled the high places where
the kohenim (priests) had burned incense,
from Geba to Beersheba, and broke down
the high places of the gates that were in
the entering in of the gate of Yahushua
(Joshua) the governor of the city, which
were on a man's left hand at the gate of the
city.
9 Nevertheless the kohenim (priests) of
the high places came not up to the altar of
hwhy in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), but
they did eat of the unleavened lechem
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in
the valley of the son of Hinnom, that no
man might make his son or his daughter to
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
pass through the fire to Molek.
11 And he took away the horses that the
kings of Yahudah (Judah) had given to the
sun, at the entering in of the Temple of
hwhy, by the chamber of Nathan-melech
the officer, which was in the suburbs, and
burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 And the altars that were on the top of
the upper room of Achaz, which the kings
of Yahudah (Judah) had made, and the
altars which Manashsheh had made in the
two courts of the house of hwhy, did the
king beat down, and broke them down from
there, and cast the dust of them into the
brook Kidron.
13 And the high places that were before
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), which were on
the right hand of the Mount of corruption,
which Sul’ahmon (Solomon) the king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) had built for Ashtoreth
the abomination of the Zidonians, and for
Kemosh the abomination of the Moabites,
and for Milcom the abomination of the
children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 And he broke in pieces the images,
and cut down the asherah poles, and filled
their places with the bones of men.
15 Moreover the altar that was at
Beyth’el, and the high place which
Yarob’am the son of Nebat, who made
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to sin, had made, both
that altar and the high place he broke
down, and burned the high place, and
stamped it small to powder, and burned the
grove.
16 And as Yoshiyahu (Josiah) turned
himself, he spied the sepulchres that were
there in the Mount, and sent, and took the
bones out of the sepulchres, and burned
them upon the altar, and polluted it,
according to the word of hwhy which the
man of Elohim proclaimed, who proclaimed
these words.
17 Then he said what title is that that I
see? And the men of the city told him, it is
the sepulchre of the man of Elohim, which
came from Yahudah (Judah), and
proclaimed these things that you have
done against the altar of Beyth’el.
18 And he said, let him alone; let no man
654
move his bones. So they let his bones
alone, with the bones of the prophet that
came out of Shomeron (Samaria).
19 And all the houses also of the high
places that were in the cities of Shomeron
(Samaria), which the kings of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) had made to provoke hwhy to
anger, Yoshiyahu (Josiah) took away, and
did to them according to all the acts that he
had done in Beyth’el.
20 And he slew all the kohenim (priests)
of the high places that were there upon the
altars, and burned men's bones upon
them, and returned to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
21 And the king commanded all the
people, saying, Keep the Passover to
hwhy your Elohim, as it is written in the
scroll of this covenant.
22 Surely there was not held such a
Passover from the days of the judges that
judged Yah’sar’el (Israel), nor in all the
days of the kings of Yah’sar’el (Israel), nor
of the kings of Yahudah (Judah);
23 But in the eighteenth year of king
Yoshiyahu (Josiah), wherein this Passover
was held to hwhy in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
24 Moreover ritual pits with conjuring
ruachs (spirits), and the magicians, and the
disgusting images, and the personal idols,
and all the abominations that were spied in
the land of Yahudah (Judah) and in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), did Yoshiyahu
(Josiah) put away, that he might perform
the words of the Torah which were written
in the scroll that Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah) the
kohen (priest) found in the Temple of
hwhy.
25 And like to him was there no king
before him, that turned to hwhy with all his
heart, and with all his soul, and with all his
might, according to all the Torah of Musa
(Moses); neither after him arose there any
like him.
26 Notwithstanding hwhy turned not from
the fierceness of his great wrath,
wherewith his anger was kindled against
Yahudah (Judah), because of all the
provocations that Manashsheh had
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
provoked him withal.
27 And hwhy said, I will remove Yahudah
(Judah) also out of my sight, as I have
removed Yah’sar’el (Israel), and will cast
off this city Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
which I have chosen, and the house of
which I said, My name shall be there.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Yoshiyahu
(Josiah), and all that he did, are they not
written in the scroll of the chronicles of the
kings of Yahudah (Judah)?
29 In his days Pharaoh-Niko king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) went up against the king
of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) went against him; and
he slew him at Megiddo, when he had
seen him.
30 And his servants carried him in a
chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought
him to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
buried him in his own sepulchre. And the
people of the land took Yahuakhaz
(Jehoahaz) the son of Yoshiyahu (Josiah),
and anointed him, and made him king in
his father's place.
31 Yahuakhaz (Jehoahaz) was twenty
three years old when he began to reign;
and he reigned three months in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). And his
mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter
of Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) of Libnah.
32 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy, according to all that his
ahvot (fathers) had done.
33 And Pharaoh-Niko put him in chains at
Riblah in the land of Hamath that he might
not reign in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem); and
put the land to a tribute of a hundred
talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 And Pharaoh-Niko made Eliyakim the
son of Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king in the place
of Yoshiyahu (Josiah) his father, and
turned his name to Yahuyakim
(Jehoiakim), and took Yahuakhaz
(Jehoahaz) away: and he came to
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and died there.
35 And Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) gave the
silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he
taxed the land to give the money according
to the commandment of Pharaoh: he
655
exacted the silver and the gold of the
people of the land, of every one according
to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh-Niko.
36 Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) was twenty-
five years old when he began to reign; and
he reigned eleven years in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem). And his mother's name was
Zebidah, the daughter of Pedi’yah of
Rumah.
37 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of the hwhy, according to all that his
ahvot (fathers) had done.
Chapter 24
1 In his days Nebukadnetzar king of
Babylon came up, and Yahuyakim
(Jehoiakim) became his servant three
years: then he turned and rebelled against
him.
2 And hwhy sent against him the raiding
bands of the Chaldeans, the Syrians, the
Moabites, the children of Ammon against
Yahudah (Judah) to destroy it, according to
the word of hwhy, which he spoke by his
servants the prophets.
3 Surely at the commandment of hwhy
came this upon Yahudah (Judah), to
remove them out of his sight, for the sins of
Manashsheh, according to all that he did;
4 And also for the innocent blood that he
shed: for he filled Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) with innocent blood; which
hwhy would not pardon.1
5 Now the rest of the acts of Yahuyakim
(Jehoiakim), and all that he did, are they
not written in the scroll of the chronicles of
the kings of Yahudah (Judah)?
6 So Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) slept with
his ahvot (fathers): and Yaukin
(Jehoiachin)2 his son reigned in his place.
1 Note all the babies he had killed through child
sacrifices YHWH refuses to forgive.
2 We know from Babylonian tablets found around
595 BC that his name was not Jehoiachin but
Yaukin. The majority of names in the scriptures that
start Je would really start Ya beginning with the
name of YHWH.
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
7 And the king of Mitzrayim (Egypt) came
not again any more out of his land: for the
king of Babylon had taken from the river of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) to the river Euphrates all
that pertained to the king of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
8 Yaukin (Jehoiachin) was eighteen years
old when he began to reign, and he
reigned in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) three
months. And his mother's name was
Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
9 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy, according to all that his
father had done.
10 At that time the servants of
Nebukadnetzar king of Babylon came up
against Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and the
city was besieged.
11 And Nebukadnetzar king of Babylon
came against the city, and his servants did
besiege it.
12 And Yaukin (Jehoiachin) the king of
Yahudah (Judah) surrendered to the king
of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his
servants, and his princes, and his officers:
and the king of Babylon took him in the
eighth year of his reign.
13 And he carried out there all the
treasures of the house of hwhy, and the
treasures of the king's house, and cut in
pieces all the vessels of gold which
Sul’ahmon (Solomon) king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) had made in the temple of hwhy,
as hwhy had said.
14 And he carried away all Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and all the princes, and all the
mighty men of valour, even ten thousand
captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths:
none remained, save the poorest sort of
the people of the land.
15 And he carried away Yaukin
(Jehoiachin) to Babylon, and the king's
mother, and the king's wives, and his
officers, and the mighty of the land, those
carried he into captivity from Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) to Babylon.
16 And all the men of might, even seven
thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a
thousand, all that were strong and apt for
656
war, even them the king of Babylon
brought captive to Babylon.
17 And the king of Babylon made
Mattan’yah his father's brother king in his
place, and changed his name to Zidqi’yah.
18 Zidqi’yah was twenty one years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned
eleven years in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
And his mother's name was Hamutal, the
daughter of Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) of
Libnah.
19 And he did that which was evil in the
sight of hwhy, according to all that
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) had done.
20 For through the anger of hwhy it came
to pass in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) and
Yahudah (Judah), until he had cast them
out from his presence that Zidqi’yah
rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Chapter 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of
his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth
day of the month that Nebukadnetzar king
of Babylon came, he, and all his armies,
against Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
pitched against it; and they built forts
against it round about.1
2 And the city was besieged to the
eleventh year of King Zidqi’yah.
3 And on the ninth day of the fourth
month the famine prevailed in the city, and
there was no lechem (bread) for the people
of the land.
4 And the city was broken up, and all the
men of war fled by night by the way of the
gate between two walls, which is by the
king's garden: now the Chaldeans were
against the city surrounding it: and the king
went the way toward the plain.
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued
after the king, and overtook him in the
1 Nebukadnetzar raided Jerusalem three times.
Jerusalem was under siege for around 18 months,
588 B.C. to 586 B.C. and fell in 586 B.C. King
Zedekiah while he was trying to escape was caught
and blinded. The blinding of prisoners was a
common practice in the ancient East.
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
plains of Yericho (Jericho): and all his army
were scattered from him.
6 So they took the king, and brought him
up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and
they gave right-ruling upon him.
7 And they slew the sons of Zidqi’yah
before his eyes, and put out the eyes of
Zidqi’yah, and bound him with fetters of
brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh
day of the month, which is the nineteenth
year of king Nebukadnetzar king of
Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, commander
of the guard, a servant of the king of
Babylon, to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem):
9 And he burnt the house of hwhy, and
the king's house, and all the houses of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and every great
man's house burnt he with fire.
10 And all the army of the Chaldeans that
were with the commander of the guard
broke down the walls of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) round about.
11 Now the rest of the people that were
left in the city, and the fugitives that fell
away to the king of Babylon, with the
remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan
the commander of the guard carry away.
12 But the commander of the guard left of
the poor of the land to be vinedressers and
husbandmen.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in
the Temple of hwhy, and the bases, and
the brazen sea that was in the Temple of
hwhy, did the Chaldeans break in pieces,
and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the
snuffers, and the spoons, and all the
vessels of brass wherewith they
ministered, took they away.
15 And the fire pans, and the bowls, and
such things as were of gold, in gold, and of
silver, in silver, the commander of the
guard took away.
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the
bases which Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had
made for the house of hwhy; the brass of
all these vessels was without weight.
17 The height of the one pillar was about
twenty-seven feet, and the top upon it was
657
brass: and the height of the tops was four
and a half feet; and the wreathen work,
and pomegranates upon the tops
roundabout, all of brass: and like to these
had the second pillar with wreathen work.
18 And the commander of the guard took
Serai’yah the chief kohen (priest), and
Tsephan’yah the second kohen (priest),
and the three keepers of the door:
19 And out of the city he took an officer
that was set over the men of war, and five
men of them that were in the king's
presence, which were found in the city, and
the principal scribe of the armies, which
mustered the people of the land, and sixty
men of the people of the land that were
found in the city:
20 And Nebuzaradan commander of the
guard took these, and brought them to the
king of Babylon to Riblah:
21 And the king of Babylon smote them,
and slew them at Riblah in the land of
Hamath. So Yahudah (Judah) was carried
away out of their land.
22 And as for the people that remained in
the land of Yahudah (Judah), whom
Nebukadnetzar king of Babylon had left,
even over them he made Gedal’yah the
son of Akhikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
23 And when all the commanders of the
armies, they and their men, heard that the
king of Babylon had made Gedal’yah
governor, there came to Gedal’yah to
Mizpah, even Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the
son of Nethan’yah, and Yahuchannan the
son of Qareah, and Serai’yah the son of
Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and
Yaazanyahu (Jaazaniah) the son of a
Maachathite, they and their men.
24 And Gedal’yah swore to them, and to
their men, and said to them, Fear not to be
the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the
land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it
shall be well with you.
25 But it came to pass in the seventh
month, that Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the son
of Nethan’yah, the son of Elishama, of the
seed royal, came, and ten men with him,
and smote Gedal’yah, that he died, and the
Yahudim (Jewish men) and the Chaldeans
 Second Kings (Melechim Bet)
that were with him at Mizpah.
26 And all the people, both small and
great, and the commanders of the armies,
arose, and came to Mitzrayim (Egypt): for
they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 And it came to pass in the thirtieth-
seven year of the captivity of Yaukin
(Jehoiachin) king of Yahudah (Judah), in
the twelfth month, on the twentieth-seventh
day of the month, that Evil-merodach king
of Babylon in the year that he began to
reign did lift up the head of Yaukin
(Jehoiachin) king of Yahudah (Judah) out
of prison;
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set
his throne above the throne of the kings
that were with him in Babylon;
29 And changed his prison garments: and
he did eat lechem (bread) continually
before him all the days of his life.
30 And his allowance was a continual
allowance given him of the king, a daily
rate for every day, all the days of his life. ‫ת‬

1 The vision of Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) the
son of Amoz, which he saw concerning
Yahudah (Judah) and Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) in the days of Uzzi’yah,
Yahutham, Achaz, and Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah), kings of Yahudah (Judah).
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O
earth: for hwhy has spoken, I have
nourished and brought up children, and
they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knows his owner and the
donkey his master's crib: but Yah’sar’el
(Israel) does not know, my people does
not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with
iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that
are corrupters: they have forsaken hwhy,
they have provoked the Set-Apart One of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to anger, they are gone
away backward.
5 Why should you be stricken any
more? You will revolt more and more: the
whole head is sick, and the whole heart
weary.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the
head there is no soundness in it; but
wounds, and bruises, and putrefying
sores: they have not been closed, neither
bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

are burned with fire: your land, foreigners
devour it in your presence, and it is

9 Except hwhy of hosts had left to us a
very small remnant, we should have been
as Sedom (Sodom), and we should have
been like to Amorah (Gomorrah).
10 Hear the word of hwhy, you rulers of
Sedom (Sodom); give ear to the Torah of
our Elohim, you people of Amorah
(Gomorrah).
11 To what purpose is the multitude of
your sacrifices to me? Says hwhy: I am
full of the burnt offerings of rams and the
fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the
blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he
goats.
12 When you come to appear before
me, who has required this at your hand,
to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more meaningless
offerings; your incense is an abomination
to me; you observe the new moons and
Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, but I
cannot tolerate your sin stained
celebrations.
14 Your new moons and your appointed
feasts2 my soul hates: they are a trouble
to me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when you spread forth your
hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yes,
when you make many prayers, I will not
hear: your hands are full of blood.3
16 Wash yourself, make yourself clean;
put away the evil of your doings from
2 YHWH hated them simply because of the moral
decline of the Jewish nation. His appointed feasts
were not celebrated from their hearts intent but
the purpose had been changed. The people like
Jeroboam started his own new feasts and put his
own version of priesthood in place in the North of
Israel with a Temple to rival Jerusalem. Likewise
Christendom has started their own new feasts such
as Easter, Ash Wednesday, Christmas. These are
all Christendom’s feasts and YHWH wants nothing
to do with them, because they despise YHWH’s
true feasts and refuse to celebrate them with a
true heart and true intent and purpose.
3 As with some ancient kings of Israel who were
lawless so was Catholicism and Christendom who
shed innocent blood of Jewish people and they are
guilty.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek right-ruling, 1 shall eat the good of the land:
relieve the oppressed, judge the
fatherless, and plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason
together, says hwhy: though your sins be
as scarlet, they shall be as white as
snow; though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.2
1 The only way one can seek right ruling is with
the Torah and since Christendom has decided it is
not for us then no right ruling can come from their
leaders.
2 YHWH is willing to trade of their sins if their
hearts are straight. In Jewish traditions the
following is recorded: "R. Nahman b. Isaac said it
was the tongue of scarlet,’ as it has been taught:
‘Originally they used to fasten the thread of scarlet
on the door of the [Temple] court on the
outside.28 If it turned white the people used to
rejoice, 29 and if it did not turn white they were
sad. They therefore made a rule that it should be
fastened to the door of the court on the inside.
People, however, still peeped in and saw, and if it
turned white they rejoiced and if it did not turn
white they were sad. They therefore made a rule
that half of it should be fastened to the rock and
half between the horns of the goat that was sent
[to the wilderness]’. . . . If you assume It was R.
Johanan b. Zaccai [who made the rule], was there
in the days of R. Johanan b. Zaccai a thread of
scarlet [which turned white]? Has it not been
taught: ‘R. Johanan b. Zaccai lived altogether a
hundred and twenty years. For forty years he was
in business, forty years he studied, and forty years
he taught,’ and it has further been taught: ‘For
forty years before the destruction of the Temple
the thread of scarlet never turned white but it
remained red’. Further, the statement of the
Mishnah is, ‘After the destruction of the Temple R.
Johanan b. Zaccai made a rule’. [What says] the
other [to this]? During those forty years that he
studied his status was that of a disciple sitting
before his teacher, and he would offer a
suggestion and make good his reasons."

wine mixed with mayim (water):

companions of thieves: every one loves
gifts, and follows after rewards: they
judge not the fatherless; neither does the
cause of the widow come to them.
24 Therefore says, Master hwhy of
hosts, the mighty One of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), Ah, I will ease me of my
adversaries, and avenge me of my
enemies:
25 And I will turn my hand upon you,
and purely purge away your dross, and
take away all your slag:5
26 And I will restore your judges as at
the first, and your counsellors as at the
beginning: afterward you shall be called,
The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Tsiyon shall be redeemed with right-
ruling and her converts with
righteousness.

transgressors and of the sinners shall be
together, and they that forsake hwhy
shall be consumed.

sacred trees which you have desired, and
you shall be ashamed for the sacred
orchards that you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a tree whose leaf
whither, and as an orchard that has no

Come, and let us go up to the mountain

for out of Tsiyon shall go forth the Torah
and the word of hwhy4 from

and shall rebuke many people: and they
shall beat their swords into plowshares,

more.5

Chapter 6
1 In the year that king Uzzi’yah died I
saw also hwhy sitting upon a throne, high
and lifted up, and the hem of his robe
filled the Temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each
one had six wings; with two he covered
his face, and with two he covered his
feet, and with two he did fly.
3 And one cried to another, and said,
Set-Apart, Set-Apart, Set-Apart, is hwhy
of hosts: the whole earth is full of his
glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at
the voice of him that cried, and the house
was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! For I am
destroyed; because I am a man of lips
contaminated with sin, and I dwell in the
midst of a people whose lips are
contaminated with sin: for my eyes have
seen the King, hwhy of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims to me,
having a live coal in his hand, which he
had taken with the tongs from off the
altar:
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and
said, Lo, this has touched your lips; and
your iniquity is taken away, and your sin
purged.2
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord,
saying, Whom shall I send, and who will
go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send
me.

without man, and the land be utterly
desolate,
12 And hwhy have removed men far
away, and there be a great forsaking in

Chapter 7
1 And it came to pass in the days of
Achaz the son of Yahutham, the son of
Uzzi’yah, king of Yahudah (Judah), that
Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the
son of Remaili’Yehu, king of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), went up toward Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) to war against it, but could
not prevail against it.
2 And it was told the house of Dawud
(David), saying, Syria is confederate with
Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and
the heart of his people, as the etzim
(trees) of the forest are moved with the
wind.
3 Then said hwhy to Yesha’yahu
(Isaiah), Go forth now to meet Achaz,
you, and Shear-Yahshub2 your son, at
the end of the conduit of the upper pool in
the highway of the fuller's field;
4 And say to him, Take heed, and be
quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for
the two tails of these smoking firebrands,
for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria,
and of the son of Remaili’Yehu.
1 This shows us clearly Judah does not need to
confess anything but are already in the hand of the
Messiah and He will save them.
2 Means a remnant shall return.
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son
of Remaili’Yehu, have taken evil counsel
against you, saying,
6 Let us go up against Yahudah
(Judah), and vex it, and let us make a
breach therein for us, and set a king in
the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:
7 Thus says the Master hwhy, It shall
not stand, and neither shall it come to
pass.3
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus,
and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and
within sixty-five years4 shall Ephraim be
broken, that it be not a people.5
9 And the head of Ephraim is Shomeron
(Samaria), and the head of Shomeron
(Samaria) is Remaili’Yehu's son. If you
will not believe, surely you shall not be
established.
10 Moreover hwhy spoke again to
Achaz, saying,
11 You ask a sign from hwhy your
Elohim; ask it either in the depth, or in the
height above.
12 But Achaz said, I will not ask, neither

the remez and sod mystery level not to evangelize

tried to overtake Judah and install their own king
but YHWH rebukes them and says I will break
them. This means YHWH hated the idea of
Ephramites ruling the region of Judah, this is
almost like making all of Judah Christians today,
YHWH abhors the idea because Judah is the
lawgiver and needs to maintain a distinct presence
in the land, they are already saved by the Master
Messiah Yahushua by having Torah, which is the
same as having the Messiah.
4 The Assyrians began to come into the land just
as the prophecy said after a few years but the
importing of Assyrians and deporting of the Ten
northern tribes took a completion of sixty-five
years.
5 This was also to fulfill the prophecy of Hosea
that Ephraim will not stand any longer as a people.
Their disobedience had brought this about.

8 And he shall pass through Yahudah
(Judah); he shall overflow and go over,
he shall reach even to the neck; and the
stretching out of his wings shall fill the
breadth of your land, O Immanu’el.
9 Associate yourselves, O you people,
and you shall be broken in pieces; and
give ear, all you of far countries: gird
yourselves, and you shall be broken in

18 Behold, I and the children whom
hwhy has given me are for signs and for

19 And when they shall say to you,
Seek to them that are mediums, and to
wizards that peep, and that mutter:
should not a people seek to their Elohim?
Should they seek the dead on behalf of
the living?
20 To the Torah and to the testimony:4 if
they speak not according to this word,5 it
is because there is no light6 in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly
destitute and starving: and it shall come
to pass, that when they shall be starving,
they shall fret themselves, and curse their
king and their Elohim, and look upward.
22 And they shall look to the earth; and
behold trouble and darkness, dimness of
anguish; and they shall be driven to
darkness.7
Chapter 9
1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be
such as was in her vexation, when at the
first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun
and the land of Naphtali, and afterward
did more grievously afflict her by the way
Galil of the nations.8
4 Testimony of our forefathers in the Torah.
5 People who do not agree or believe in the Torah
carry little truth and their testimony is of no worth.
6 Light is a term for salvation and truth, those who
reject the Torah meaning they also reject the
testimony of our forefathers; it is very difficult to
see them in the millennium kingdom. At least they
will not be there in the 1000 year reign because
their rejection carries a price.
7They shall be driven from the land (Israel) of
Torah light and salvation to the land of darkness,
meaning no salvation and false elohim.
8 This was prophetically what had happened in the
past with the king of Assyria when he took the

 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
2 The people that walked in darkness
1
have seen a great light: they that dwell in
the land of the shadow of death, upon
them has the light shone.
3 You have multiplied the nation, and
not increased the joy: they joy before you
according to the joy in harvest, and as
men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For you have broken the yoke of his
burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the
rod of his oppressor, as in the day of
Midian.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with
confused noise, and garments rolled in
blood; but this shall be with burning and
fuel of fire.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is
given:2 and the government shall be upon
his shoulder: and his name is called
Counselor of Wonders,3 The Mighty4 El,
(The Power of powers or Strong Warrior) 5 11 Therefore hwhy shall set up the
northern tribes of Israel back to Assyria and
replaced the regions with gentiles.
1 The Messiah who came for the Northern
kingdom, who is the great light.
2 So Yahushua is not the Father or even a spiritual
The Son Yahushua.
3 This is a more faithful meaning of the ancient
Hebrew text, while the KJV has it translated
inaccurately. Yahushua indeed was a counselor of
many wonders. One such wonder was the stopping
of stormy winds and high waves in the boat in
Matt 14:24.
4 The Hebrew word here used here is gibbor as in
the sense of a Warrior or fighter in battle. YHWH is
a man of war type of action as in Exodus 15:3,
taking us back to the Exodus of Egypt where
YHWH fought against Egypt and here He will fight
against radical Islam for Israel and deliver the
whole of Israel one day.
5 Yahushua is YHWH and will carry the
government forever. This Hebrew word are two
nouns joined together in the Isaiah copper scrolls
while in the masoretic text it is two separate words
so this can also mean Mighty One of the warriors,
which still applies this to Yahushua when He
returns to wage the final battle against the radical
Muslims who turn up in Israel to try and annihilate
Israel.
Witness of the Father,6 Ruler of The
Shalom.7
7 Of the increase8 of his government
and shalom (peace) there shall be no
end, upon the throne of Dawud (David),
and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to
establish it with judgment and with justice
from henceforth even forever. The zeal of
hwhy of hosts will perform this.
8 hwhy sent a word into Ya’acob
(Jacob), and it has lighted upon
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
9 And all the people shall know, even
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Shomeron
(Samaria), that say in the pride and
stoutness of heart,
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we
will build with hewn stones: the
sycamores are cut down, but we will
change them into cedars.
6 He is not the ‘everlasting Father,’ but witness for
the Father as the Hebrew word Ad is used in this
and in the original ancient Hebrew the meaning of
this word is ‘witness.’ It can mean ‘until’ in a
continual action but this is not the meaning here.
father wrongly thought by many. Our only Abbah
in heaven both spiritual and physical is Abbah
YHWH so therefore Yahushua is His witness; this
was testified in John 10:25.
7 The Dead Sea copper scrolls of Isaiah have Ha
Shalom meaning that it identifies this word not in
an airy fairy way as many have but it is a city and
a place because it has the definite article of ‘the’ in
front of it. We know the place that this describes is
the ancient city name for Jerusalem. So Yahushua
or indeed YHWH who is the Ruler of Jerusalem, so
it could accurately be translated using ancient
Hebrew as ‘Ruler of the city of Shalom.’
This takes us back to the Holy Mountain of Tsiyon
and also ties this with Genesis 14:18. This is where
Melechzedek is called the King of Salem or
properly Shalom, the same name here, if one sees
with his Hebrew spiritual eyes open then the sod
mystery is that it ties this text to Melechzedek
meaning King Yahushua the Master of heaven and
earth. What an incredible prophecy indeed of the
coming King, awesome.

when hwhy has performed his whole
work upon Mount Tsiyon and on
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), I will punish
the fruit of the proud heart of the king of
Assyria,1 and the glory of his high looks.
13 For he says, By the strength of my
hand I have done it, and by my wisdom;
for I am prudent: and I have removed the
bounds of the people, and have robbed
their treasures, and I have put down the
inhabitants like a valiant man:
14 And my hand has found as a nest
the riches of the people: and as one
gathers eggs that are left, have I
gathered all the earth;2 and there was
none that moved the wing, or opened the
mouth, or peeped.
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him
that chops with it? Or shall the saw
magnify itself against him that shakes it?
As if the rod should shake itself against

and under his glory he shall kindle a
burning like the burning of a fire.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the remnant of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and such as are escaped of the house of
Ya’acob (Jacob), shall no more again
stay upon him that smote them; but shall
stay upon hwhy, the Set-Apart One of

hwhy of hosts, O my people that dwell in

and of the fear (Yerah) of hwhy;3

understanding in the fear of hwhy: and
he shall not judge after the sight of his
eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of
his ears:

Yahushua who will kill the Anti-Messiah.

to come out of Netzer’eth, the city of the Branch in
Israel. This is Yahushua prophesied 740 years
before His birth. The branch Netzer (Mashiach);
The followers of the Messiah were called Notzarim

3 These are the various Sefirotic tree elements
that are in the Messiah Yahushua. He is the
middle-pillar, the Son, who leads into the kingdom
of YHWH.
4 But with righteousness shall he judge
the poor, and reprove with equity for the
meek of the earth: and he shall smite the
earth with the rod of his mouth,4 and with
the breath of his lips shall he slay the
wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle
of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of
his reins.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with
the kid; and the calf and the young lion
and the fatling together; and a little child

7 And the cow and the bear shall feed;
their young ones shall lie down together:
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.6

only in Israel not outside it. The wolf will continue
to hunt the lamb in India, Pakistan and all other

6 This will happen in Israel only during the
millennium reign. In the rest of the nations the lion
will continue to eat meat and kill goats. There is a

of Saudi Arabia, this is nothing to do with the
Vatican and all the conspiracy theorists are simply
in error.
6 Saudi Arabia and portions of Iraq are marked for
utter destruction. This will occur because of
nuclear fallout.

already in abbah YHWH’s hand. They are not going
to hell as erroneously taught by Christian.

5 The word Lucifer was inserted by Jerome in the
th
4 century. This is a Latin word and has no place
in the Tanach considering the prophet Isaiah
writing seven hundred years before Yahushua was
born would not have written in a language that
was not yet even spoken nor invented unless he
was shown a symbol to do with Latin which we
know looking at the copper scroll of Isaiah is not
the case either. The meaning of the Hebrew word
Shahar is crescent moon, a symbol of Islam
showing us that the Anti-Messiah will be from one
of the Muslims nations. The word is not correctly
translated in many dictionaries and simply glossed
over as light but the crescent is the correct
meaning here which can also be found in the text
of Judges 8:21 and Isa 3:18 are give away texts so
the Scripture is our best interpreter not modern
day Bible dictionaries that have many wrong
meanings behind words.
6 The word son here can be very deceptive unless
you understand what YHWH is trying to tell us, this
will be the dark power the power of Satan that will
build up Islam! The crescent will be its symbol
and Satan will be its leader mentioned in Rev 9:11.
See footnote there. Its uncanny how on 9/11 this
power was manifested to the modern world when
the twin towers were taken down in the US, while
most people are running after a one world order
which is a distraction and subterfuge to lead away
from the true signs of the beast.
7 The anti-Messiah from Islam.
8 The location of the Throne room of YHWH is
positioned in the northern part of the universe (Job
26:7). Satan wants to establish his own
mo’ed/feasts and has been somewhat successful in
the Eastern and Western countries. Christmas is
one of the feasts of Satan and not YHWH. By
replacing the symbols it does not make this the
appointed feast of the Elohim of Israel. Ishtar
(Easter) is also the feast of Satan. All who take
of YHWH are seven, Passover, Unleavened Bread,
First-Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Yom Kippur and
Tabernacles. There are two other which believers
may wish to celebrate, the feast of Purim when the
Jewish people were saved in Iran and Hanukah

World war III – Unmasking the end-times beast
by Rabbi Simon Altaf - First there are the five “I
wills.” Here Satan tries to be like YHWH by saying
“I will.” Where does he get this from and why the
need for authority to be like YHWH? These are
similar to when Yahweh made promises to
Abraham where Yahweh also said “I will” five
times in His promises to Abraham. Yahuweh
spoke to Abraham and His five “I will’s”

Hebrew word “Netzer” is used in Isaiah 14 where
Satan is being described and suddenly the text
switches over to the Anti-Messiah of the end-times
as the “abominable branch.” We could say these
passages show us some real hidden meanings of
the parallels between the true Messiah of Israel
who is Yahushua of Nazareth and the “abominable
branch,” the false ‘peaceful leader,’ who will come
to sign the peace deal with Israel and a security
plan from the Muslim world.

broom of destruction, says hwhy of hosts.

Surely as I have thought, so shall it come
to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall
it stand:

Hebrew tongue where the same word used for
slaughtering an animal is used in a similar way the
difference is one character at the end, a Tet
opposed to a Khet. The Muslims have been
slaughtering their own by beheadings and others
with a knife as a butcher would. ‫ שׁחת‬Instead of
‫שׁחט‬. Thus the anti-Messiah’s people will cut with
a knife, cut what? The jugular veins of people just
like the animal i.e. beheading (Revelation 20:4).
This is also commanded in the Muslim holy book
the Quran,’ Sura 47:4.

Sharon was fine and this year Ariel was suddenly
taken ill later going into a coma, literally this
prophecy is fulfilled as I wrote, Ariel got removed
from power suddenly and the Palestinians were
rejoicing when Ehud Olmert came in as
replacement. As I write this (July 24th 2006) book
he is fighting a war with Lebanon (North) and
Gaza (South), he has been firing missiles killing
and removing the leaders, Palestinians are without
amenities such as water and electric and short of
food, lets see if the rest of the fulfilment applies to
him or not because north is Lebanon fighting with
him. The flying snakes are missile strikes on
Palestinian terrorists by Israel.

Whether it is some sort of biological accident or
missile strike or not there appears to be much
trouble in the Palestinian regions probably caused
by one of their own leaders, the language used for
this is “art dissolved.” This seems some type of
biological hazard and is extreme. Hezbollah has
warned that they have some surprise for Israel,
only time will tell what that surprise is or just
words. In short this war could escalate or is the
beginning of bigger things to come.

themselves with sackcloth: on the tops of
their houses, and in their streets, every

therefore the armed soldiers of Moab
shall cry out; his life shall be grievous to

5 My heart shall cry out for Moab; his
fugitives shall flee to Zoar, a heifer of
three years old: for by the mounting up of
Luhith with weeping shall they go it up;
for in the way of Horonayim they shall
raise up a cry of destruction.
6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be
desolate: for the hay is withered away,
the grass fails, there is no green thing.
7 Therefore the abundance they have
gotten, and that which they have laid up,
shall they carry away to the brook of the
willows.
8 For the cry is gone round about the
borders of Moab; the howling thereof to
Eglaim, and the howling thereof to Beer-

1 Send the lamb to the ruler of the land
from Sela to the wilderness, to the Mount
of the daughter of Tsiyon.
2 For it shall be, that, as a wandering
bird cast out of the nest, so the daughters
of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
3 Take counsel, execute right-ruling;
make your shadow as the night in the
midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts;
betray not him that escapes.
4 Let my outcasts dwell with you, Moab;
be you a shelter to them from the face of
the spoiler: for the oppressor has met his
end, the spoiler ceases, those trampling
down are consumed out of the land.
5 And in mercy shall the throne be
established: and he shall sit upon it in
truth in the tabernacle of Dawud (David),
judging, and seeking right-ruling, and
hasting righteousness.
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab;
he is very proud: even of his haughtiness,
and his pride, and his wrath: but his lies
shall not be so.
7 Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab,
everyone shall howl: for the foundations
of Kir-hareseth shall you mourn; surely
they are stricken.

and the vine of Sibmah: the princes of the
heathen have broken down the principal
plants thereof, they are come even to
Yazer, they wandered through the
wilderness: her branches are stretched
out, they are gone over the sea.
9 Therefore I will bewail with the
weeping of Yazer the vine of Sibmah: I
will mayim (water) you with my tears, O
Heshbon, and Elaleh: for the shouting for
your summer fruits and for your harvest is
fallen.
10 And gladness is taken away, and joy
out of the plentiful field; and in the
vineyards there shall be no singing,

neither shall there be shouting: the
treaders shall tread out no wine in their
wine vats; I have made their joy to cease
in the wine presses.

for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir-
haresh.

seen that Moab is weary on the high
place, that he shall come to his
sanctuary1 to pray; but he shall not

Within three years, as the years of a hired

Damascus is taken away from being a

2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they

3 The fortress also shall cease from
Ephraim, and the kingdom from
Damascus, and the remnant of Syria:

outmost fruitful branches thereof, says
hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 At that day shall a man look to his
Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to
the Set-Apart One of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the
work of his hands, neither shall respect
that which his fingers have made, either
the asherah images, or the sun pillars.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be
as a forsaken branch, and an uppermost
branch, which they left because of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): and there
shall be desolation.
10 Because you have forgotten the
Elohim of your deliverance, and have not
been mindful of the rock of your strength,
therefore shall you plant pleasant plants,
and shall set it with foreign seedlings:
11 In the day shall you make your plant
to grow, and in the morning shall you
make your seed to flourish: but the
harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief
and of desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many
people, which make a noise like the noise
of the seas; and to the rushing of nations,
that make a rushing like the rushing of
mighty waters!
13 The nations shall rush like the
rushing of many waters: but Elohim shall
rebuke them, and they shall flee far off,
and shall be chased as the chaff of the
mountains before the wind, and like a

perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in
the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs
with pruning hooks, and take away and
cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together to the fowls

3 Isaiah was partially naked and the Hebrew does
suggest that he was not fully naked though in
other context the Hebrew word arom can mean
fully naked but not in this passage.
4 Isaiah confirms our view this is the Middle-East
and more specifically the location is not in some
city in Europe. This ties in full agreement with
Revelation 13:1, where the same words ‘sand of

the prophets at times saw Babylon as one entity
including Saudi Arabia, because although in Isaiah
21 verse 9 “Babylon is fallen.” But the cities
mentioned are not in Iraq, but in Arabia i.e. we do
not see Erech, Accad and Calneh. It’s like in Middle
Eastern culture when you name a family instead of
naming each individual person you just name one
person that is the head and that includes all of
them. We see that in the Bible with the tribes
where just one person is named, that it includes
thousands of descendents underneath them such
as Judah.

biblical records as a city in Canaan (Joshua 15:52).
It is also associated with Edom and Seir in Isaiah
21:11.
http://nabataea.net/dumah.html
Dumah is generally identified by
historians with the Addyrian Adummatu
people. Esarhaddon related how, in his
attempt to subdue the Arabs, his father,
Sennacherib struck against their capital,
Adummatu, which he called the
stronghold of the Arabs. Sennacherib
captured their king, Haza'il, who is called,
King of the Arabs. Haza'il is also referred
to in one inscription of Ashurbanipal as
King of the Kedarites.
From a geographical standpoint,
Adummatu is often associated with the
medieval Arabic Dumat el-Jandal, which
was in ancient times a very important and
strategic junction on the major trade
route between Syria, Babylon, Najd and
the Hijaz area. Dumat el Jandal is at the
south-eastern end of Al Jawf, which is a
desert basin. It often denotes the whole
lower region of Wadi as Sirhan; the
famous depression situated half way
between Syria and Mesopotamia. This
area has water, and was a stopping place
for caravan traders coming from Tayma,
before proceeding on to Syria or
Babylonia.
This strategic location effectively made
Dumah the entrance to north Arabia. This
oasis was the centre of rule for many
north Arabian kings and queens, as
related to us in Assyrian records.
So Dumah is Dumah el Jandal in Saudi Arabia.

you scornful men that rule this people
which is in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
15 Because you have said, We have
2
made a covenant with death, and with
She’ol are we at agreement; when the
overflowing scourge shall pass through, it
shall not come to us: for we have made
lies our refuge, and under falsehood have
we hid ourselves:3
16 Therefore thus says Master hwhy,
Behold, I lay in Tsiyon for a foundation a
stone, a tried stone, a precious corner
stone, a sure foundation: he that believes
shall not make haste.4
17 Right-ruling also will I lay to the line,
and righteousness to the plummet: and
the hail shall sweep away the refuge of
lies, and the waters shall overflow the
hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall
be disannulled, and your agreement with
She’ol shall not stand; when the
overflowing scourge shall pass through,
then you shall be trodden down by it.5
when the same flames of fire came upon the
people in the Temple.
1 Senseless babbling in churches causing people to
fall backwards, possessed by demonic spirits.
Reverent people fall forwards not backwards!
2 Made a covenant with Islamic radicals to part
Jerusalem and dismantle Israeli homes.
3 The covenant with hell and death will not stand.
4 The Messiah who is YHWH.
5 YHWH will break the covenant Israel made with
the radicals and it will not continue.

19 From the time that it goes forth it
shall take you: for morning by morning
shall it pass over, by day and by night:
and it shall be a vexation only to
understand the report.
20 For the bed is shorter than that a
man can stretch himself on it: and the
covering narrower than that he can wrap
himself in it.6
21 For hwhy shall rise up as in Mount
Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the
valley of Gibeon, that he may do his
work, his strange work; and bring to pass
his act, his strange act.
22 Now therefore be you not mockers,
lest your bands be made strong: for I
have heard from Master hwhy of hosts a
decreed destruction, even determined
upon the whole land.
23 Give you ear, and hear my voice;
hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Does the plowman plow all day to
sow? Does he open and break the clods
of his ground?
25 When he has made plain the face
thereof, does he not cast abroad the
caraway plant, and scatter the cumin, and
cast in the principal wheat and the
appointed barley and the rye in their
place?
26 For his Elohim does instruct him to
discretion, and does teach him.
27 For caraway are not threshed with a
threshing instrument, neither is a cart
wheel turned about upon the cumin; but
the caraway are beaten out with a staff,
and the cumin with a rod.
28 Lechem (bread) corn is bruised;
because he will not ever be threshing it,
nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor
bruise it with his horsemen.
29 This also comes forth from the hwhy
of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel,
and excellent in working.
6 The false sense of security that Israel had built
up from the nations towards peace.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
Chapter 29

1 Woe to Ari’el, to Ari’el, the city where
Dawud (David) dwelt! Add you year to
year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Yet I will distress Ari’el, and there shall
be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be
to me as Ari’el.
3 And I will camp against you round
about, and will lay siege against you with
a Mount, and I will raise forts against you.
4 And you shall be brought down, and
shall speak out of the ground, and your
speech shall be low out of the dust, and
your voice shall be, as of one that has a
familiar Ruach (Spirit), out of the ground,
and your speech shall whisper out of the
dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of your
strangers shall be like small dust, and the
multitude of the terrible ones shall be as
chaff that passes away: yes, it shall be at
an instant suddenly.
6 You shall be visited of hwhy of hosts
with thunder, and with earthquake, and
great noise, with storm and tempest, and
the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations
that fight against Ari’el, even all that fight
against her and her munitions, and that
distress her, shall be as a dream of a
night vision.2
8 It shall even be as when a hungry
man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he
awakes, and his soul is empty: or as
when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold,
he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he
is weary, and his soul has appetite: so
shall the multitude of all the nations be,
that fight against Mount Tsiyon.
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry you
out, and cry: they are drunken, but not
with wine; they stagger, but not with
strong drink.
10 For hwhy has poured out upon you
1 Another name for Jerusalem.
2 All the Islamic nations that fight Jerusalem shall
be brought down.
the Ruach (Spirit) of deep sleep, and has
closed your eyes: the prophets and your
rulers, the seers has he covered.3
11 And the vision of all is become to you
as the words of a scroll that is sealed,
which men deliver to one that is learned,
saying, Read this, I pray you: and he
says, I cannot; for it is sealed:4
12 And the scroll is delivered to him that
is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray
you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Therefore the sovereign Master
said, Forasmuch as this people draw
near me with their mouth, and with their
lips do honour me, but have removed
their heart far from me, and their fear
toward me is taught by the traditions of
men:5
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to
do a marvellous work among this people,
even a marvellous work and a wonder:
for the wisdom of their wise men shall
perish, and the understanding of their
prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe to them that seek deep to hide
their counsel from the hwhy, and their
works are in the dark, and they say, Who
sees us? and who knows us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside
down shall be esteemed as the potter's
clay: for shall the work say of him that
made it, He made me not? or shall the
thing framed say of him that framed it, He
had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and
3 The deep sleep on Israel is by YHWH and not
man. Those He has put to sleep He is not about to
send to hell as many erroneously believe. He has
an eternal covenant with Israel and they are in His
palms.
4 This has nothing to do with Muhammad in Islam
but to do with Jerusalem being put under
blindness.
5 Jerusalem was not paying attention to what
YHWH had to say but had gone too much into
traditions. Some traditions were good while others
of certain schools were not good.
693
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful
field, and the fruitful field shall be
esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear
the words of the scroll, and the eyes of
the blind shall see out of obscurity, and
out of darkness.
19 The meek also shall increase their
joy in hwhy, and the poor among men
shall rejoice in the Set-Apart One of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
20 For the terrible one is brought to
naught, and the scorner is consumed,
and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a
word, and lay a snare for him that
reproves in the gate, and turn aside the
just for a thing of naught.
22 Therefore thus says hwhy, who
redeemed Abraham, concerning the
house of Ya’acob (Jacob), Ya’acob
(Jacob) shall not now be ashamed,
neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he sees his children, the
work of my hands, in the midst of him,
they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify
the Set-Apart One of Ya’acob (Jacob),
and shall fear the Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
24 They also that erred in Ruach (Spirit)
shall come to understanding, and they
that complain shall learn doctrine. 1 messages:2
Chapter 30
1 Woe to the rebellious children, says
hwhy, that take counsel, but not of me;
and that cover with a covering, but not of
my ruach (spirit), that they may add sin to
sin:
2 That walk to go down into Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and have not asked at my
mouth; to strengthen themselves in the
strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the
shadow of Mitzrayim (Egypt)!
3 Therefore shall the strength of

694
Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in
the shadow of Mitzrayim (Egypt) your
confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his
ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 They were all ashamed of a people
that could not profit them, nor be an help
nor profit, but a shame, and also a
reproach.
6 The burden of the beasts of the south:
into the land of trouble and anguish, from
where did the young and old lion come
from, the viper and fiery flying serpent,
they will carry their riches upon the
shoulders of young donkeys, and their
treasures upon the bunches of camels, to
a people that shall not profit them.
7 For the Mitzrim (Egyptians) shall help
in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have
I cried concerning this, Their strength is
of no use.
8 Now go, write it before them in a
table, and note it in a scroll that it may be
for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying
children, children that will not hear Torah
of hwhy:
10 Which say to the seers, do not see
visions; and to the prophets, Prophesy
not to us about what is right, speak to us
nice things, prophesy deceptive
11 Get out of the way, turn aside out of
the path, cause the Set-Apart One of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to cease from before
us.
12 Therefore thus says the Set-Apart
One of Yah’sar’el (Israel), Because you
despise this word, and trust in oppression
and perverseness, and stay in it:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a
high wall, whose breaking comes
suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking

Christendom has this problem today.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
of the potters' vessel that is broken in
pieces; he shall not spare: so that there
shall not be found in the bursting of it a
shred to take fire from the hearth, or to
skim mayim (water) off a cistern.
15 For thus says Master hwhy, the Set-
Apart One of Yah’sar’el (Israel); In
repentance and waiting you would be
saved; if you calmly trusted in me, you
would find strength: but you are unwilling.
16 But you said, No; for we will flee
upon horses; therefore shall you flee:
and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore
shall they that pursue you be swift.
17 One thousand shall flee at the
rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall
you flee: till you be left as a flagpole upon
the top of a mountain, and as a signal
flag on an hill.
18 And therefore will hwhy wait, that he
may be gracious to you, and therefore will
he be exalted, that he may have mercy
upon you: for hwhy is the Elohim of right-
ruling: blessed are all they that trust in
him.
19 For the people shall dwell in Tsiyon
at Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): you shall
weep no more: he will be very gracious to
you at the voice of your cry; when he
shall hear it, he will answer you.
20 And though sovereign master will
give you the lechem (bread) of adversity,
and the mayim (water) of affliction, yet
your teachers will not be hidden anymore,
but your eyes will see them:
21 And your ears shall hear a word
behind you, saying, This is the way, walk
you in it, when you turn to the right hand,
and when you turn to the left.
22 You shall defile also the covering of
your graven images of silver, and the
ornament of your molten images of gold:
you shall cast them away as a menstrual
cloth; you shall say to it, Get out.
23 Then shall he give the rain of your
seed that you shall sow the ground; and
lechem (bread) of the increase of the
earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in
that day shall your cattle feed in large
pastures.
695
24 The oxen likewise and the young
donkeys that ear the ground shall eat
clean fodder, which has been winnowed
with the shovel and with the fan.
25 And there shall be upon every high
mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers
and streams of waters in the day of the
great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall
be as the light of the sun, and the light of
the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of
seven days, in the day that hwhy binds
up the breach of his people, and heals
the wound of his blow.
27 Behold, the name of hwhy comes
from far, burning with his anger, and the
burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of
indignation, and his tongue as a
devouring fire:
28 And his breath, as an overflowing
stream, shall reach to the midst of the
neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of
vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the
jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29 You shall have a song, as in the
night when a Set-Apart solemnity is kept;
and gladness of heart, as when one goes
with a pipe to come into the mountain of
hwhy, to the mighty One of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
30 And hwhy shall cause his glorious
voice to be heard, and shall show the
lighting down of his arm, with the
indignation of his anger, and with the
flame of a devouring fire, with scattering,
and tempest, and hailstones.
31 For through the voice of hwhy shall
the Assyrian be beaten down, which
smote with a rod.
32 And in every place where the
grounded staff shall pass, which hwhy
shall lay upon him, it shall be with
tambourines and lyres: and in battles of
shaking will he fight with it.
33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yes,
for the king it is prepared; he has made it
deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and
much wood; the breath of hwhy, like a
stream of brimstone, does kindle it.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
Chapter 31
1 Woe to them that go down to
Mitzrayim (Egypt) for help; and put their
trust on war horses, and n chariots,
because they are many; and in
horsemen, because they are very strong;
but they look not to the Set-Apart One of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), neither seek hwhy!
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil,
and will not call back his words: but will
arise against the house of the evildoers,
and against the help of them that work
iniquity.
3 Now the Mitzrim (Egyptians) are men,
and not El; and their horses flesh, and not
Ruach (Spirit). When hwhy shall stretch
out his hand, both he that helps shall fall,
and he that is helped shall fall down, and
they all shall fail together.
4 For thus has hwhy spoken to me, Like
as the lion and the young lion roaring on
his prey, when a multitude of shepherds
is called forth against him, he will not be
afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for
the noise of them: so shall hwhy of hosts
come down to fight for Mount Tsiyon, and
for the hill thereof.
5 As birds flying, so will hwhy of hosts
defend Yerushalayim (Jerusalem);
defending also he will deliver it; and
passing over he will preserve it.
6 Return to him, from whom the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) have rebelled.
7 For in that day every man shall cast
away his idols of silver, and his idols of
gold, which your own hands have made
to you for a sin.
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the
sword, not of a mighty man; and the
sword, not of a mean man, shall devour
him: but he shall flee from the sword, and
his young men shall be forced to do hard
labour.
9 And he shall pass over to his
stronghold for fear, and his princes shall
be afraid of the banner, says hwhy,
whose fire is in Tsiyon, and his furnace in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
Chapter 32
696
1 Behold, a king shall reign in
righteousness, and princes shall rule in
right-ruling.
2 And a man shall be as a hiding place
from the wind, and a shelter from the
downpour; as rivers of mayim (water) in a
dry place, as the shadow of a great rock
in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall
not be dim, and the ears of them that
hear shall hearken.
4 The heart also of the rash shall
understand knowledge, and the tongue of
the stammerers hurries to speak plainly.
5 The fool will no more be called noble,
nor the scoundrel said to be respectable.
6 For a fool speak folly, and his heart
will work wickedness, to practice
hypocrisy, and to utter error against
hwhy, to mislead the soul of the hungry,
and he will cause the drink of the thirsty
to fail.
7 The methods also of the scoundrel are
evil: he devises wicked devices to destroy
the poor with lying words, even when the
needy are right.
8 But the generous devises what is
generous; and by generous deeds he
rises up.
9 Rise up, you women that are at ease;
hear my voice, you careless daughters;
give ear to my speech.
10 Many days and years shall you be
troubled, you careless women: for the
grape harvest shall fail, the gathering
shall not come.
11 Tremble, you women that are at
ease; be troubled, you careless ones:
strip yourself, and make yourself bare,
and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12 They shall lament for the breasts, for
the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall
come up thorns and briers; yes, upon all
the houses of joy in the joyous city:
14 Because the palaces shall be
forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be
left; the forts and towers shall be for dens
forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture
of flocks;
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
15 Until the Ruach (Spirit) be poured
upon us from on high, and the wilderness
be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be
counted for a forest.
16 Then right-ruling shall dwell in the
wilderness, and righteousness remain in
the fruitful field.
17 And the work of righteousness shall
be shalom (peace); and the effect of
righteousness quietness and assurance
forever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a
peaceable habitation, and in sure
dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 When it shall hail, coming down on
the forest; and the city shall be low in a
low place.
20 Blessed are you that sow beside all
waters that send forth there the feet of
the ox and the donkey.
Chapter 33
1 Woe to you that spoils, and you were
not spoiled; and deal treacherously, and
they dealt not treacherously with you!
when you shall cease to spoil, you shall
be spoiled; and when you shall make an
end to deal treacherously, they shall deal
treacherously with you.
2 O hwhy, be gracious to us; we have
waited for you: be you their arm every
morning, our deliverance also in the time
of trouble.
3 At the noise of the tumult the people
fled; at the lifting up of yourself the
nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered like
the gathering of the caterpillar: as the
running to and fro of locusts shall he run
upon them.
5 The hwhy is exalted; for he dwells on
high: he has filled Tsiyon with right-ruling
and righteousness.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be
the stability of your times, and strength of
deliverance: the fear of hwhy is his
treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry
without: the ambassadors of shalom
(peace) shall weep bitterly.
697
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring
man ceases: he has broken the
covenant, he has despised the cities, he
regards no man.
9 The earth mourns and languishes:
Lebanon is ashamed and cut down:
Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan
and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10 Now will I rise, says hwhy; now will I
be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 You shall conceive chaff, you shall
bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire,
shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the
burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall
they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, you that are far off, what I have
done; and, you that are near,
acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Tsiyon are afraid;
fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites.
Who among us shall dwell with the
devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell
with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walks righteously, and
speaks uprightly; he that despises the
gain of oppressions, that shakes his
hands from holding of bribes, that stops
his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts
his eyes from seeing evil;
16 He shall dwell on high: his place of
defence shall be the munitions of rocks:
lechem (bread) shall be given him; his
waters shall be sure.
17 Your eyes shall see the king in his
beauty: they shall behold the land that is
very far off.
18 Your heart shall meditate terror.
Where is the scribe? Where is he who
weighs? Where is he that counted the
towers?
19 You shall not see a fierce people, a
people of a deeper speech than you can
perceive; of a stammering tongue that
you cannot understand.
20 Look upon Tsiyon, the city of our
solemnities: your eyes shall see
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) a quiet
habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be
taken down; not one of the stakes thereof
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
shall ever be removed, neither shall any
of the cords thereof be broken.
21 But there the glorious hwhy will be to
us a place of broad rivers and streams;
wherein shall go no galley with oars,
neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22 For hwhy is our judge, hwhy is our
lawgiver, hwhy is our king; he will save
us.
23 Your ropes are loosed; they could
not strengthen their mast, they could not
spread the sail: then is the prey of a great
spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am
sick: the people that dwell therein shall be
forgiven their iniquity.

1 Come near, you nations, to hear; and
hearken, you people: let the earth hear,

things that come forth of it.

nations, and his fury upon all their armies:
he has utterly destroyed them, he has
delivered them to the slaughter.1
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and
their stink shall come up out of their
carcasses, and the mountains shall be
melted with their blood.

heavens shall be rolled together as a

as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a

shall lie waste; none shall pass through it

11 But the pelican and the porcupine
shall possess it; the owl also and the
raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch
out upon it the line of confusion, and the
stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call the nobles thereof to

all her princes shall be nothing.
13 And thorns shall come up in her
palaces, nettles and brambles in the

habitation of jackals, and a courtyard for
ostriches.
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall
also meet with the wild beasts of the
island,1 and the wild goats shall cry to his

there, and find for herself a place of rest.

nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather

shall want her mate: for my mouth it has

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart,
Be strong, fear not: behold, your Elohim
will come with vengeance, even Elohim
with a recompense; he will come and
save you.

opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be
opened.
6 Then shall the lame man leap as a
deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing:
for in the wilderness shall waters break
out, and streams in the desert.
7 And the parched ground shall become
a pool, and the thirsty land springs of
mayim (water): in the habitation of
jackals, where each lay, shall be grass
with reeds and rushes.
8 And an highway shall be there, and a
way, and it shall be called The way of set-
apartness; the unclean shall not pass
over it; but it shall be for those: the
places. The word used here for desert in this
passage is Midbar that is desert to the south; for
solitary place is Tisiya, which means barren,
desolate and dry-where there is no water; for
wilderness word is Arvah, which is just below Dead
sea at southern part, it goes 120 miles down to the
Gulf of Aqaba and is 8-20 miles wide, which was a
empty place with only acacia trees, old dry scrubs
but a huge water source was discovered and
satellite images were taken that at the heart of
Arvah there was a huge amount of water source
and the Israelis began to irrigate it and now there
is an actual farm in Arvah which didn’t exist 30
years ago and that farm produces tomatoes,
peppers, melons; thus fulfilling the bible prophecy.

 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err
therein.
9 No lion shall be there, nor any
ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it
shall not be found there; but the
redeemed shall walk there:
10 And the ransomed of hwhy shall
return, and come to Tsiyon with songs
and everlasting joy upon their heads: they
shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow
and sighing shall flee away.1
Chapter 36
1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth
year of king Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), that
Senchareb king of Assyria came up
against all the defended cities of
Yahudah (Judah), and took them.
2 And the king of Assyria sent
Rabshakeh from Lakish to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) to king Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) with a great army. And he
stood by the conduit of the upper pool in
the highway of the fuller's field.
3 Then came forth to him Eliyakim,
Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah)'s son, which was
over the house, and Shebna the scribe,
and Yoach, Asaph's son, the recorder.
4 And Rabshakeh said to them, you say
now to Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), Thus says
the great king, the king of Assyria, What
confidence is this wherein you trust?
5 I say, but they are but vain words, I
have counsel and strength for war: now
on whom do you trust, that you rebel
against me?
6 Lo, you trust in the staff of this broken
reed, on Mitzrayim (Egypt); whereon if a
man lean, it will go into his hand, and
pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) to all that trust in him.
7 But if you say to me, We trust in the
hwhy our Elohim: is it not he, whose high
places and whose altars Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) has taken away, and said to
Yahudah (Judah) and to Yerushalayim
1 Israel has already been ransomed by YHWH.
700
(Jerusalem), You shall worship before
this altar?
8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray
you, to my master the king of Assyria,
and I will give you two thousand horses, if
you be able on your part to set riders
upon them.
9 How then will you turn away the face
of one commander of the least of my
master's servants, and put your trust on
Mitzrayim (Egypt) for chariots and for
horsemen?
10 And am I now come up without hwhy
against this land to destroy it? hwhy said
to me, Go up against this land, and
destroy it.
11 Then said Eliyakim and Shebna and
Yoach to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray you,
to your servants in the Aramaic language;
for we understand it: and speak not to us
in the Yahudim’s language,2 in the ears of
the people that are on the wall.
12 But Rabshakeh said, Has my master
sent me to your master and to you to
speak these words? Has he not sent me
to the men that sit upon the wall, that they
may eat their own dung, and drink their
own urine with you?
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried
with a loud voice in the Yahudim’s
language, and said, Hear you the words
of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14 Thus says the king, Let not
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) deceive you: for
he shall not be able to deliver you.
15 Neither let Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
make you trust in hwhy, saying, hwhy will
surely deliver us: this city shall not be
delivered into the hand of the king of
Assyria.
16 Hearken not to Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah): for thus says the king of
Assyria, Make a covenant with me by a
present, and come out to me: and eat
every one of you his vine, and every one
2 This is proof that Hebrew was spoken even after
captivity
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
of his fig etz (tree), and drink every one
you the waters of his own cistern;
17 Until I come and take you away to a
land like your own land, a land of corn
and wine, a land of lechem (bread) and
vineyards.
18 Beware lest Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
persuade you, saying, hwhy will deliver
us. Has any of the mighty ones of the
nations delivered his land out of the hand
of the king of Assyria?
19 Where are the mighty ones of
Hamath and Arphad? Where are the
mighty ones of Sepharwayim? And have
they delivered Shomeron (Samaria) out
of my hand?
20 Who are they among all the mighty
ones of these lands, that have delivered
their land out of my hand, that hwhy
should deliver Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
out of my hand?
21 But they held their shalom (peace),
and answered him not a word: for the
king's commandment was, saying,
Answer him not.
22 Then came Eliyakim, the son of
Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah), that was over the
household, and Shebna the scribe, and
Yoach, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) with their clothes
tore, and told him the words of
Rabshakeh.
Chapter 37
1 And it came to pass, when king
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) heard it, that he
tore his clothes, and covered himself with
sackcloth, and went into the house of
hwhy.
2 And he sent Eliyakim, who was over
the household, and Shebna the scribe,
and the elders of the kohenim (priests)
covered with sackcloth, to Yesha’yahu
(Isaiah) the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 And they said to him, Thus says
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), This day is a day
of trouble, and of rebuke, and of
blasphemy: for the children are come to
the birth, and there is no strength to bring
forth.
701
4 It may be hwhy your Elohim will hear
the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king
of Assyria his master has sent to
reproach the living Elohim, and will
reprove the words which hwhy your
Elohim has heard: Therefore lift up your
prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 So the servants of king Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) came to Yesha’yahu (Isaiah).
6 And Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) said to them,
Thus shall you say to your master, Thus
says hwhy, Be not afraid of the words
that you have heard, wherewith the
servants of the king of Assyria have
blasphemed me.
7 Behold, I will send a ruach (spirit)
upon him, and he shall hear a report, and
return to his own land; and I will cause
him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found
the king of Assyria warring against
Libnah: for he had heard that he was
departed from Lakish.
9 And he heard say concerning
Tirhakah king of Cush (Sudan), He is
come forth to make war with you. And
when he heard it, he sent messengers to
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), saying,
10 Thus shall you speak to Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) king of Yahudah (Judah),
saying, Let not your Elohim, in whom you
trust, deceive you, saying, Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) shall not be given into the
hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Behold, you have heard what the
kings of Assyria have done to all lands by
destroying them utterly; and shall you be
delivered?
12 Have the mighty ones of the nations
delivered them which my ahvot (fathers)
have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran,
and Rezeph, and the children of Ayden
(Eden) which were in Telassar?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the
king of Arphad, and the king of the city of
Sepharwayim, Hena, and Iwwah?
14 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) received
the letter from the hand of the
messengers, and read it: and Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) went up to the house of hwhy,
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
and spread it before hwhy.
15 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) prayed
to hwhy, saying,
16 O hwhy of hosts, Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), that dwells between
the Cherubims, you are the Elohim, even
you alone, of all the kingdoms of the
earth: you have made shamayim
(heavens) and earth.
17 Incline your ear, O hwhy, and hear;
open your eyes, O hwhy, and see: and
hear all the words of Senchareb, which
has sent to reproach the living Elohim.
18 Of a truth, hwhy, the kings of Assyria
have laid waste all the nations, and their
countries,
19 And have cast their mighty ones into
the fire: for they were not mighty ones,
but the work of men's hands, wood and
stone: therefore they have destroyed
them.
20 Now therefore, O hwhy our Elohim,
save us from his hand, that all the
kingdoms of the earth may know that you
are hwhy, even you only.
21 Then Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) the son of
Amoz sent to Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah),
saying, Thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Whereas you have
prayed to me against Senchareb king of
Assyria:
22 This is the word which hwhy has
spoken concerning him; The virgin, the
daughter of Tsiyon, has despised you,
and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) has shaken
her head at you.
23 Whom have you reproached and
blasphemed? and against whom have
you exalted your voice, and lifted up your
eyes on high? even against the Set-Apart
One of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
24 By your servants have you
reproached hwhy, and have said, By the
multitude of my chariots am I come up to
the height of the mountains, to the sides
of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall
cedars thereof, and the choice fir etzim
(trees) thereof: and I will enter into the
height of his border, and the forest of his
702
Carmel.
25 I have dug, and drunk mayim
(water); and with the sole of my feet have
I dried up all the rivers of the besieged
places.
26 Have you not heard long ago, how I
have done it; and of ancient times, that I
have formed it? Now have I brought it to
pass, that you should be to lay waste
walled cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were of
small power, they were dismayed and
confounded: they were as the grass of
the field, and as the green herb, as the
grass on the housetops, and as corn
blasted before it be grown up.
28 But I know your abode, and your
going out, and your coming in, and your
rage against me.
29 Because your rage against me, and
your tumult, is come up into my ears,
therefore will I put my hook in your nose,
and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn
you back by the way by which you came.
30 And this shall be a sign to you, You
shall eat this year such as grows of itself;
and the second year that which springs of
the same: and in the third year you sow,
and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat
the fruit thereof.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of
the house of Yahudah (Judah) shall again
take root downward, and bear fruit
upward:
32 For out of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
shall go forth a remnant, and they that
escape out of Mount Tsiyon: the zeal of
hwhy of hosts shall do this.
33 Therefore thus says hwhy
concerning the king of Assyria, He shall
not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow
there, nor come before it with shields, nor
cast a bank against it.
34 By the way that he came, by the
same shall he return, and shall not come
into this city, says hwhy.
35 For I will defend this city to save it for
my own sake, and for my servant Dawud
(David)'s sake.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
36 Then the Malakh hwhy1 went forth,
and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a
hundred eighty five thousand: and when
they arose early in the morning, behold,
they were all dead corpses.
37 So Senchareb king of Assyria
departed, and went and returned, and
dwelt at Nineveh.
38 And it came to pass, as he was
worshipping in the house of Nisroch his
Elohim, that Adrammelech and Sharezer
his sons smote him with the sword; and
they escaped into the land of Armenia:
and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his
place.
Chapter 38
1 In those days was Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) sick to death. And
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) the prophet the son
of Amoz came to him, and said to him,
Thus says hwhy, Set your house in order:
for you shall die, and not live.
2 Then Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) turned
his face toward the wall, and prayed to
hwhy,
3 And said, Remember now, O hwhy, I
beseech you, how I have walked before
you in truth and with a perfect heart, and
have done that which is good in your
sight. And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) wept
sore.
4 Then came the word of hwhy to
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah), saying,
5 Go, and say to Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah), Thus says hwhy, the Elohim
of Dawud (David) your father, I have
heard your prayer, I have seen your
tears: behold, I will add to your days
fifteen years.2
6 And I will deliver you and this city out
of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I
will defend this city.
7 And this shall be a sign to you from
1 Yahushua.
2 Obedience to Torah does add on more years to
our life.
703
hwhy, that hwhy will do this thing that he
has spoken;
8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow
of the degrees, which is gone down in the
sun dial of Achaz, ten degrees backward.
So the sun returned ten degrees, by
which degrees it was gone down.
9 The writing of Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
king of Yahudah (Judah), when he had
been sick, and was recovered of his
sickness:
10 I said in the cutting off of my days, I
shall go to the gates of the grave: I am
deprived of the residue of my years.
11 I said, I shall not see hwhy, even
hwhy, in the land of the living: I shall
behold man no more with the inhabitants
of the world.
12 My age is departed, and is removed
from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut
off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off
with pining sickness: from day even to
night will you make an end of me.
13 I reckoned till morning, that, as a
lion, so will he break all my bones: from
day even to night will you make an end of
me.
14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I
chatter: I did mourn as a dove: my eyes
fail with looking upward: O hwhy, I am
oppressed; undertake for me.
15 What shall I say? He has both
spoken to me, and himself has done it: I
shall go softly all my years in the
bitterness of my soul.
16 O hwhy, by these things men live,
and in all these things is the life of my
Ruach (Spirit): so will you recover me,
and make me to live.
17 Behold, for shalom (peace) I had
great bitterness: but you have in love to
my soul delivered it from the pit of
corruption: for you have cast all my sins
behind your back.
18 For the grave cannot praise you,
death can not celebrate you: they that go
down into the pit cannot hope for your
truth.
19 The living, the living, he shall praise
you, as I do this day: the father to the
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
children shall make known your truth.
20 hwhy was ready to save me:
therefore we will sing my songs to the
stringed instruments all the days of our
life in the house of hwhy.
21 For Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) had said,
Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for
a plaster upon the boil, and he shall
recover. 1
22 Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) also had said,
What is the sign that I shall go up to the
house of hwhy?
Chapter 39
1 At that time Merodach-baladan, the
son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent
letters and a present to Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah): for he had heard that he had
been sick, and was recovered.
2 And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) was glad
of them, and showed them the house of
his precious things, the silver, and the
gold, and the spices, and the precious
ointment, and all the house of his armour,
and all that was found in his treasures:
there was nothing in his house, nor in all
his dominion, that Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
showed them not.
3 Then came Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) the
prophet to king Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah),
and said to him, What said these men?
And from where die they come to you?
And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) said, They
are come from a far country to me, even
from Babylon.
4 Then said he, What have they seen in
your house? And Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah)
answered, All that is in my house have
they seen: there is nothing among my
treasures that I have not showed them.
5 Then said Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) to
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), Hear the word of
hwhy of hosts:
1 Even though YHWH gave him life but that did
not preclude him putting the fig patch on, showing
that going to doctors is not wrong as long as we
petition YHWH first.
6 Behold, the days come, that all that is
in your house, and that which your ahvot
(fathers) have laid up in store until this
day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing
shall be left, says hwhy.
7 And of your sons that shall issue from
you, whom you shall beget, shall they
take away; and they shall be officers in
the palace of the king of Babylon.
8 Then said Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) to
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah), Good is the word of
hwhy which you have spoken. He said
moreover, For there shall be shalom
(peace) and truth in my days.
Chapter 40
1 Comfort you, comfort you my people,
says your Elohim. 2
2 You speak comfortably to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and cry to
her, that her warfare is accomplished,
that her iniquity is pardoned: for she has
received of hwhy's hand double for all
her sins.3
3 The voice of him that cries in the
wilderness, Prepare you the way of the
hwhy, make straight in the desert a
highway for our Elohim.4
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and
every mountain and hill shall be made
low: and the crooked shall be made
straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of hwhy shall be
revealed, and all flesh shall see it
together: for the mouth of hwhy has
spoken it.
2 Comfort Jewish Israel that YHWH has favoured
them, no preaching and no gospel down their
throats. They already have Torah and that is what
Messiah came to teach. Messiah’s blood saves
them retrospectively.
3 The time of Judah’s sin is over and they will be
saved without any evangelism and they already
acknowledge YHWH so they do not need to leave
their faith.

6 The voice said, Cry. And he said,
What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all
the goodliness thereof is as the flower of
the field:
7 The grass withers, the flower fades:
because the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy blows
upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades:
but the word1 of our Elohim shall stand
forever.
9 O Tsiyon, that bring good tidings, get
you up into the high mountain; O
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), that bring
good tidings (Good News), lift up your
voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid;
say to the cities of Yahudah (Judah),
Behold your Elohim! 2 21 Have you not known? Have you not
10 Behold, Master hwhy will come with
strong hand, and his arm shall rule for
him: behold, his reward is with him, and
his work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a
shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with
his arm, and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those that are with
young.
12 Who has measured the waters in
the hollow of his hand, and meted out
shamayim (heavens) with the span, and
comprehended the dust of the earth in a
measure, and weighed the mountains in
scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who has directed the Ruach (Spirit)
of hwhy, or being his counsellor has
taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and
who instructed him, and taught him in the
path of right-ruling, and taught him
knowledge, and showed to him the way
of understanding?
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of

beginning? Have you not understood
from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sits upon the circle3 of
the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are
as grasshoppers; that stretches out the
heavens as a curtain, and spreads them
out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That brings the princes to nothing;
he makes the judges of the earth as
vanity.
24 Yes, they shall not be planted; yes,
they shall not be sown: yes, their stock
shall not take root in the earth: and he

away as stubble.

shall I be equal? Says the Set-Apart One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold
who has created these things, that brings
out their armies by number: he calls them
all by names by the greatness of his
might, for that he is strong in power; not

and speak, O Yah’sar’el (Israel), My way
is hid from hwhy, and my right-ruling is
passed over from my Elohim?

 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
28 Have you not known? Have you not
heard, that the everlasting Elohim, hwhy,
the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints
not, neither is weary? There is no
searching of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weary; and to
them that have no might he increases
strength.
30 Even the youths shall weary 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 weary.

2 Who raised up the righteous man from
the east, called him to his foot, gave the
nations before him, and made him rule

King of Ya’acob (Jacob).
22 Let them bring them forth, and show
us what shall happen: let them show the
former things, what they be, that we may
consider them, and know the latter end of
them; or declare us things for to come.
23 Show the things that are to come
hereafter, that we may know that you are
mighty ones: yes, do good, or do evil, that
we may be dismayed, and behold it
together.
24 Behold, you are of nothing, and your
work of naught: an abomination is he that
chooses you.2

27 The first shall say to Tsiyon, Behold,
behold them: and I will give to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) one that brings
good tidings.4
28 For I beheld, and there was no man;

counsellor, that, when I asked of them,
could answer a word.

1 Behold my servant,5 whom I uphold;
my elect, in whom my soul delights; I

his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and
the smoking flax shall he not quench: he

and the isles shall wait for his Torah.

Chapter 43
1 But now thus says hwhy that created
you, O Ya’acob (Jacob), and he that
formed you, O Yah’sar’el (Israel), Fear
not: for I have redeemed you, I have
called you by your name; you are mine.1
2 When you passed through the waters,
I will be with you; and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you: when you
walk through the fire, you shall not be
burned; neither shall the flame kindle
upon you.
3 For I am hwhy your Elohim, the Set-
Apart One of Yah’sar’el (Israel), your
Saviour: I gave Mitzrayim (Egypt) for your
ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.
4 Since you were precious in my sight,
you have been honorable, and I have
loved you: therefore will I give men for
you, and people for your life.
5 Fear not: for I am with you: I will bring
your seed from the east, and gather you
from the west;
6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to
the south, Keep not back: bring my sons
from far,2 and my daughters from the
ends of the earth;
7 Even every one that is called by my
name: for I have created him for my glory,
I have formed him; yes, I have made him.
8 Bring forth the blind people that have
eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

say, It is truth.
10 You are my witnesses, says hwhy,
and my servant whom I have chosen: that
you may know and believe me, and
understand that I am he: before me there
was no El formed, neither shall there be
after me.
11 I, even I, am hwhy; and beside me
there is no Saviour.
12 I have declared, and have saved,
and I have showed, when there was no
strange Elohim among you: therefore you
are my witnesses, says hwhy, that I am
El.
13 Yes, before the day was I am he;
and there is none that can deliver out of
my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14 Thus says hwhy, your redeemer,
the Set-Apart One of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and
have brought down all their nobles, and
the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships.
15 I am hwhy, your Set-Apart One, the
creator of Yah’sar’el (Israel), your King.
16 Thus says hwhy, which makes a
way in the sea, and a path in the mighty
waters;
17 Which brings forth the chariot and
horse, the army and the power; they shall
lie down together, they shall not rise: they
are extinct, they are quenched as a wick.
18 Do you remember not the former
things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a renewed thing;
now it shall spring forth; shall you not
know it? I will even make a way in the
wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
20 The beast of the field shall honour
me, the jackals and the owls: because I
give waters in the wilderness, and rivers
in the desert, to give drink to my people,
my chosen.
21 This people have I formed for myself;
they shall show forth my praise.
22 But you have not called upon me, O
Ya’acob (Jacob); but you have been
weary of me, O Yah’sar’el (Israel).
23 You have not brought me the small
cattle of your burnt offerings; neither have
you honored me with your sacrifices. I
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
have not caused you to serve with an
offering, nor wearied you with incense.
24 You have bought me no sweet cane
with money, neither have you filled me
with the fat of your sacrifices: but you
have made me to serve with your sins,
you have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he that blots out your
transgressions for my own sake, and will
not remember your sins.1
26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead
together: declare you, that you may be
justified.
27 Your first father has sinned, and your
teachers have transgressed against me.
28 Therefore I have profaned the
princes of the sanctuary, and have given
Ya’acob (Jacob) to the curse, and
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to reproaches.

1 Yet now hear, O Ya’acob (Jacob) my
servant; and Yah’sar’el (Israel), whom I
have chosen:

formed you from the womb, which will
help you; Fear not, O Ya’acob (Jacob),
my servant; and you, Yeshurun, whom I
have chosen.
3 For I will pour mayim (water) upon him
that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry
ground: I will pour my Ruach (Spirit) upon
your seed, and my blessing upon your
offspring:2
4 And they shall spring up as among the
grass, as willows by the mayim (water)
courses.

6 Thus says hwhy the King of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and his redeemer hwhy of hosts;
I am the first, and I am the last; and
beside me there is no Elohim.3
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall
declare it, and set it in order for me, since
I appointed the ancient people? And the
things that are coming, and shall come,
let them show to them.
8 Fear you not, neither be afraid: have
not I told you from that time, and have
declared it? You are even my witnesses.
Is there an Elohim beside me?4 yes,
there is no Elohim; I know not any.
9 They that make a graven image are all
of them vanity; and their delectable things
shall not profit; and they are their own
witnesses; they see not, nor know; that
they may be ashamed.
10 Who has formed an el (false power),
or molten a graven image that is
profitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be
ashamed: and the workmen, they are of
men: let them all be gathered together, let
them stand up; yet they shall fear, and
they shall be ashamed together.
12 The smith with the tongs both works
in the coals, and fashions it with
hammers, and works it with the strength
of his arms: yes, he is hungry, and his
strength fails: he drinks no mayim

13 The carpenter stretches out his rule;
he marks it out with a line; he fits it with

takes the cypress and the oak, which he
strengthens for himself among the etzim
(trees) of the forest: he plants an ash,
and the rain does nourish it.
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for
he will take thereof, and warm himself;
yes, he kindles it, and bakes lechem
(bread); yes, he makes an el (false
power), and worships it; he makes it a
graven image, and falls down thereto.
16 He burns part thereof in the fire; with
part thereof he eats flesh; he roasts a
roast, and is satisfied: yes, he warms
himself, and says, Aha, I am warm, I
have seen the fire:
17 And the residue thereof he makes an
el (false power), even his graven image:
he falls down to it, and worships it, and
prays to it, and says, Deliver me; for you
are my el (false power).
18 They have not known nor
understood: for he has shut their eyes,
that they cannot see; and their hearts,
that they cannot understand.
19 And none considers in his heart,
neither is there knowledge nor
understanding to say, I have burned part
of it in the fire; yes, also I have baked
lechem (bread) upon the coals thereof; I
have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall
I make the residue thereof an
abomination? Shall I fall down to a log of
wood?
20 He feeds on ashes: a deceived heart
has turned him aside, that he cannot
deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie
in my right hand?
21 Remember these, O Ya’acob (Jacob)
and Yah’sar’el (Israel); for you are my
servant: I have formed you; you are my
servant: O Yah’sar’el (Israel), you shall
not be forgotten of me.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud,
your transgressions, and, as a cloud,
your sins: return to me; for I have
711
redeemed you.1
23 Sing, O you heavens; for hwhy has
done it: shout, you lower parts of the
earth: break forth into singing, you
mountains, O forest, and every etz (tree)
therein: for hwhy has redeemed Ya’acob
(Jacob), and glorified himself in Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
24 Thus says hwhy, your redeemer,
and he that formed you from the womb, I
am hwhy that makes all things; that
stretches forth the heavens alone; that
spreads abroad the earth by myself;
25 That frustrates the signs of the
babblers, and makes diviners mad; that
turns wise men backward, and makes
their knowledge foolish;
26 That confirms the word of his
servant, and performs the counsel of his
messengers; that says to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), You shall be inhabited; and
to the cities of Yahudah (Judah), You
shall be built, and I will raise up the
decayed places thereof:
27 That says to the deep, Be dry, and I
will dry up your rivers:

my shepherd,2 and shall perform all my
pleasure: even saying to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), You shall be built; and to the
Temple, Your foundation shall be laid.

2 On October 12, 539 B.C., Cyrus’ general
captured Babylon without a battle:
The Persians diverted the River Euphrates into a
canal upriver so that the water level dropped “to
the height of the middle of a man’s thigh,” which
thus rendered the flood defenses useless and
enabled the invaders to march through the river
bed to enter by night. - Herodotus
YHWH calls Cyrus” My Shepherd” (though he was
a gentile king but son of a Hebrew woman thus he
would be Jewish son of Esther) Unlike previous
conquerors, Cyrus was favorable to the Jews.

held, to subdue nations before him; and I
will loose the loins of kings, to open
before him the two leaved gates; and the
gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before you, and make the
crooked places straight: I will break in
pieces the gates of brass, and cut in
sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give you the treasures of
darkness, and hidden riches of secret
places, that you may know that I, hwhy,
which call you by your name, am the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
4 For Ya’acob (Jacob) my servant's
sake, and Yah’sar’el (Israel) my elect, I
have even called you by your name: I
have surnamed you, though you have not
known me.
5 I am hwhy, and there is none else,
there is no Elohim beside me: I girded
you, though you have not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of

1 YHWH calls Cyrus his anointed as he was the
one who helped in rebuilding the Temple as he
allowed the exiles to return to their homeland. This
scroll was presented and read by Daniel to Cyrus
when he captured Babylon and he was so pleased
that he allowed the exiles to return although
Daniel remained in Babylon as he was very old and
only 25% of the population went back. Cyrus is
also believed to be the son of Queen Ester.
He freed the captives and returned the vessels that
had been plundered from the Temple 70 years
earlier. He even gave them incentives to return to
their homeland and rebuild their temple (Second
Chr 36:22; Ezra 1:1-4). Only about 50,000 Jews
responded to this royal proclamation and returned
to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel.

me of things to come concerning my
sons, and concerning the work of my

bringing foreign armies to invade Israel, which has
happened in the past to teach Israel a lesson.
Without real moral evil how would man be capable
of making a real choice? Only if real evil exists can
a man make a real choice otherwise it is all an
illusion. Verses such as Deut 30:15 support that
Elohim being morally upright can create evil.

3 I have declared the former things from
the beginning; and they went forth out of

4 Because I knew that you are stubborn,
and your neck is an iron sinew, and your
brow brass;
5 I have even from the beginning
declared it to you; before it came to pass
I showed it you: lest you should say, My
idol has done them, and my graven
image, and my molten image, has
commanded them.
6 You have heard, see all this; and will
not you declare it? I have showed you
new things from this time, even hidden
things, and you did not know them.
7 They are created now, and not from
the beginning; even before the day when
you heard them not; lest you should say,
Behold, I knew them.
8 Yes, you heard not; yes, you knew
not; yes, from that time that your ear was
not opened: for I knew that you would
deal very treacherously, and were called
a transgressor from the womb.
9 For my name's sake will I defer my
anger, and for my praise will I refrain for
you, that I cut you not off.5

furnace of affliction.

be polluted? And I will not give my glory

not spoken in secret from the beginning;
from the time that She2 was, there am I:

to profit, which leads you by the way that
you should go.

1 Listen, O isles, to me; and hearken,
you people, from far; hwhy has called me
from the womb; from the bowels of my
mother has he made mention of my
name.
2 And he has made my mouth like a
sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand
has he hid me, and made me a polished
shaft; in his quiver has he hid me;
3 And said to me, You are my servant,
O Yah’sar’el (Israel), in whom I will be
glorified.
4 Then I said, I have labored in vain, I
have spent my strength for naught, and in
vain: yet surely my right-ruling is with
hwhy, and my work with my Elohim.
5 And now, says hwhy that formed me
from the womb to be his servant, to bring
Ya’acob (Jacob) again to him, Though
Yah’sar’el (Israel) be not gathered, yet
shall I be glorious in the eyes of hwhy,
and my Elohim shall be my strength.
6 And he said, It is a light thing that you
should be my servant4 to raise up the
tribes of Ya’acob (Jacob), and to restore
the preserved of Yah’sar’el (Israel): I will
also give you for a light to the Gentiles,
that you may be my deliverance to the
end of the earth.

Yah’sar’el (Israel), and his Set-Apart One,
to him whom man despises, to him whom

The Midrash (Tanchuma VaYatzay b: cf. Lev.Rabah
29:2) says that those exiled "afar" or in a "faraway
land" means those who were exiled to Gaul (Gallia)
and its neighbours.
The Israelites will return -"from the north and from
the west", i.e. areas to the northwest of the land
of Israel.
They will also return "from the land of Sinim",
meaning (says Rashi and the Aramaic
transliteration of Yehonathan) "From the Land of
the South", and according to the Latin Vulgate
translation from "Australia" (or "Australis"):
"Australis" in Latin means "the land of the south.”
"Land of Sinim" implies 'Land of the Sini-people'
since the suffix "-im" in Hebrew is the signification
of plurality. The SINI were descendants of Canaan
(1-Chronicles 1:15), son of Cham (Ham), and
probably gave their name to the Sinai Peninsula.
This is interesting since the Sinai Peninsula is not
all deserts as often supposed and in Biblical times
supported a relatively large population from the
Israelite Tribe of Simeon. The Sinai Peninsula was
included in the Promised Land of Israel and in

Yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget

17 Your children shall make haste; your
destroyers and they that made you waste
shall go forth of you.

behold: all these gather themselves
together, and come to you. As I live, says
hwhy, you shall surely clothe you with
them all, as with an ornament, and bind
them on you, as a bride does.3
19 For your waste and your desolate
places, and the land of your destruction,
shall even now be too narrow by reason
of the inhabitants, and they that
swallowed you up shall be far away.

2 Only Israel not the church. The Jews would
imprint temporary engravings of Jerusalem on
their hands. The engraving was something that
would take place where different figures would be
punctured upon the arms, hand and forehead to
do with the Temple or some other important
religious principle. This is YHWH’s way to remind
Israel that He will never forget the covenants
made with Israel; they are engraved upon His
hands. When the Messiah’s wrists/hands were
punctured this was also a symbol back to this
practice!
3 YHWH is ready to take His northern bride the
House of Israel.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
again in your ears, The place is too
narrow for me: give place to me that I
may dwell.
21 Then shall you say in your heart,
Who has begotten me these, seeing I
have lost my children, and am desolate, a
captive, and removing to and fro? And
who has brought up these? Behold, I was
left alone; these, where had they been?
22 Thus says Master hwhy, Behold, I
will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and
set up my banner to the people: and they
shall bring your sons in their arms, and
your daughters shall be carried upon their
shoulders.
23 And kings shall be your nursing
ahvot (fathers), and their queens your
nursing mothers: they shall bow down to
you1 with their face toward the earth, and
lick up the dust of your feet; and you shall
know that I am hwhy: for they shall not be
ashamed that wait for me.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the
mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus says hwhy, Even the
captives of the mighty shall be taken
away, and the prey of the terrible shall be
delivered: for I will contend with him that
contends with you, and I will save your
children.
26 And I will feed them that oppress you
with their own meat; and they shall be
drunk with their own blood, as with sweet
wine: and all flesh shall know that I hwhy
am your Saviour and your Redeemer, the
mighty One of Ya’acob (Jacob).
1 The kings are not bowing down for worship but
bowing down in the Biblical culture means to
submit to the decrees and customs of the people
so the kings are in effect bowing down accepting
that Torah, Israel are in effect given by YHWH and
therefore they submit to show they now accept
this. This verse is closely tied with Genesis 49:8
and is yet to come to pass.

Chapter 50
1 Thus says hwhy, Where is the
certificate of your mother's divorce, whom
I have put away? Or which of my
creditors is it to whom I have sold you?
Behold, for your iniquities have you sold
yourselves, and for your transgressions is
your mother put away.
2 Therefore, when I came, was there no
man? When I called, was there none to
answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that
it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to
deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the
sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their
fish stinks, because there is no mayim
(water), and dies for thirst.
3 I clothe the heavens with blackness,
and I make sackcloth their covering.
4 Master hwhy has given me the tongue
of the learned, that I should know how to
speak a word in season to him that is
weary: he wakens morning by morning,
he wakens my ear to hear as the learned.
5 Master hwhy has opened my ear, and
I was not rebellious, neither turned away
back.
6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my
cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I
hid not my face from shame and spitting.
7 For the Master hwhy will help me;
therefore shall I not be confounded:
therefore have I set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 He is near that justifies me; who will
contend with me? Let us stand together:
who is my adversary? Let him come near
to me.
9 Behold, Master hwhy will help me;
who is he that shall condemn me? Lo,
they all shall wax old as a garment; the
moth shall eat them up.
10 Who is among you that fears hwhy
that obeys the voice of his servant that
walks in darkness and has no light? Let
him trust in the name of hwhy, and stay
upon his Elohim.
11 Behold, all you that kindle a fire, that
compass yourselves about with sparks:
walk in the light of your fire, and in the
sparks that you have kindled. This shall

from.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to
Sarah that bare you: for I called him
alone, and blessed him, and increased
him.
3 For hwhy shall comfort Tsiyon: he will
comfort all her waste places; and he will
make her wilderness like Ayden (Eden),
and her desert like the garden of hwhy;

ear to me, O my nation: for the Torah

look upon the earth beneath: for the
heavens shall vanish away like smoke,
and the earth shall wax old like a

die in like manner: but my deliverance
shall be forever, and my righteousness
shall not be abolished.
7 Hearken to me, you that know
righteousness, the people in whose heart
is my Torah;2 fear not the reproach of
men, neither be you afraid of their
reviling.

in the generations of old. Are you not it
that has cut Rachab, and wounded the
sea-creature?

sea, the waters of the great deep; that
has made the depths of the sea a way for
the ransomed to pass over?
11 Therefore the redeemed of hwhy
shall return, and come with singing to
Tsiyon; and everlasting joy shall be upon
their head: they shall obtain gladness and
joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee
away.
12 I, even I, am he that comforts you:
who are you, that you should be afraid of
a man that shall die, and of the son of
man which shall be made as grass;
13 And forget hwhy your maker, that
has stretched forth the heavens, and laid
the foundations of the earth; and have
feared continually every day because of
the fury of the oppressor, as if he were
ready to destroy? And where is the fury of
the oppressor?

may be loosed, and that he should not
die in the pit, nor that his lechem (bread)
should fail.

man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief: and we hid as it were our faces
from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not. 4 afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth:9
1 Yahushua bled to death on the Tree by stoning
and the blood came out sprinkling like a fountain.
This blood is for the house of Israel which is the
reference to many nations and also Judah is also
sprinkled by this blood but Judah does not need to
acknowledge the Messiah as per Christian
teaching, they are in His hands and will realize at
the end of days.
2 The House of Israel has seen the arm of YHWH,
meaning the Messiah while Judah does not see it
yet.
3 Unfortunately the false Messiah that Christianity
has projected is supposed to be ugly and nothing
to look at but the Hebrew does not say that in any
word. If Yahushua was in the likeness of Yosef
then Yosef was beautiful to look at yet Christians
accept this obvious contradiction while pushing the
type they actually end up making Him an anti-
type. Yahushua was beautiful to look at and had a
persona but did not come in ‘stately splendor’.
Isaiah is trying to convey that He did not come as
a king or prince would enter that is all and is not
conveying his beauty in anyway.
4
Since he did not come with splendor, he was not
rich in wealth we as humans decided he is not
worth our time. He did not even have a home.
People get attracted to money and wealth and
none of these was his domain at this coming. He
was rejected because he was considered down and
out a pauper essentially. Would you want to be
seen with someone who sleeps under trees and
footpaths? That is what is being conveyed the Son
of Abbah YHWH had taken on human form and

iniquities:5 the chastisement of our

generation? For he was cut off10 out of
the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he
stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the
wicked, 11 and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.

world upon Him also. Yahushua’s sacrifice is
immeasurable.
5 The Lamb who was carrying our sins, the sins of
Israel upon His broad shoulders.
6This was fulfilled by Yahushua, as by His stripes
we are healed.
7 Our sin meaning Israel’s sin removed and purged
completely once and for all time. This includes
Judah also not just Ephraim.
8 ‘Our way’ here is the world’s torah/law; we
turned away from YHWH’s Torah/law.

and the pleasure of hwhy shall prosper in

and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge
shall my righteous servant justify many;
for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion
with the great, and he shall divide the
spoil with the strong; because he has
poured out his soul to death: and he was
numbered with the transgressors; and he

are the children of the desolate5 than the
children of the married wife,6 says hwhy.7

Kadmon, the bone of heaven became our offering
for sin, the offering for Israel’s sins perfect before

The Messiah will have many children, because
He would be raised from the dead and many in the
House of Israel would follow after Him which has
become true. The House of Judah is less likely to
follow Him as they are blinded by Abbah YHWH
but nevertheless saved if they keep Torah through
the blood as it is retrospective atonement.
3 The ‘many’ is a hint to the House of Israel first,
then the House of Judah next.
4 8 Gershom help fulfilled part of the prophecy in
He is Israel’s saviour whether they know it or not
and at the right time will make Himself known to
those who do not know Him. He is not a license for
sin as Christendom has made Him into one.
5 -> Barren - Jerusalem in the narrow context and
Israel in the wider.
-> Desolate - House of Israel aka the Ten tribes
-> Married – House of Judah in self imposed
monogamy married to YHWH.
6 Judah went into what is termed self imposed
monogamy. The edict was set by Rabbi Gershom
2 Enlarge the place of your tent, and let
them stretch forth the curtains of your
habitations: spare not, lengthen your
cords, and strengthen your stakes;
3 For you shall break forth on the right
hand and on the left; and your seed shall
inherit the Gentiles,8 and make the
ben Judah to have one wife and so we can see
that she (Judah) was not going to be able to have
many children with this style of living clearly
marked in the prophecy of Isaiah while this is not
true for Ephraim who would not follow any such
non-Torah ban.

married woman? Scripture interprets scripture so
let’s see who was barren. So who was put to
shame in her youth? Clearly this was the House of
Israel and not Judah. Judah remained married to
YHWH and was at least faithful that after the
return of the Babylonian exile she left her whoring
and idolatry for idols and other false elohim.
YHWH divorced the House of Israel His second
wife clearly issuing her a certificate of divorce
(Isaiah 50:1) because she became adulterous.
YHWH was the Patriarch of two wives and one
rebelled going after foreign lovers and ended up in
adultery so YHWH asked her to repent and return
(Jer 3:7).
The House of Israel was sent away with a clear cut
divorce while Judah even though was playing
hanky panky did not receive a divorce and that
was nothing to do with Judah’s righteousness or
special standing but everything to do with YHWH’s
promise to King David who was also a Patriarch
after the pattern that YHWH had revealed in
Heaven. YHWH sending away the Ten tribes the
House of Israel was in mercy because the promise
given to father Abraham had to be fulfilled and this
was the way it was going to be done. In YHWH’s
judgment is hidden mercy.
Isaiah 54:1. YHWH knew this already, its news to
us but no news to Him, who sees all things past
present and future.
Even though Gershom’s ban was to expire 1260 CE
but the Ashkenazim Jewish people still do not
marry more than one wife at a time clearly
reflected in the prophecy of Isaiah that the
children of the married woman will be few hence
we see why this prophecy is not allegory but quite
literal.
722
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Fear not; for you shall not be
ashamed: neither be you confounded; for
you shall not be put to shame: for you
shall forget the shame of your youth, and
shall not remember the reproach of your
widowhood any more.1
5 For your Maker are your husbands; 2 away,4 says your Elohim.
While Ephraim (The Ten tribes) will start to have
many wives and produce many children and will go
back into the true ancient Israel pattern. Of course
some brave souls in Judah will also follow with this
as they will lead the way since Judah produced the
King Messiah the Head they must also lead even if
not exceed the House of Israel.
When will this happen? The time is NOW and not
two hundred years from now. As the restoration
takes place many pains will be faced by the
leaders but they will come through some bruised
and battered but this will help many in the flock to
lead correct kadosh marriage lives with their plural
wives. The experience of the few will help the
many.
The Patriarchal model will establish more
successfully in the East and will happen in Islamic
lands automatically since YHWH has allowed His
children to produce seed and prosper and knew
ahead of time where they would be least hindered
to carry out the work that is His divine will.
1 The House of Israel who was the Northern wife
that was divorced for adultery.
2 The Hebrew here baalekha means ‘husbands,’ it
is not saying that the woman somehow had two
husbands which would be polyandry and a
violation of Torah. It reveals that the woman has
two levels of authority as in Eastern culture where
it is the Father and the Son, the Son represent his
father as the offspring. Here we see both the
picture of the Son Yahushua and Abbah YHWH are
presented for authority sakes. It also reveals that
in the process of creation both the Father and the
Son were involved as in a household, a son ben
carried the line of rebuilding Banah! There is
another meaning behind this word that abbah
YHWH divorced his wife Ephraim and His Son
therefore came to marry her so it can be husbands
sequentially. This can happen to the father’s wife
who is non-biological mother such as a step mum
but not to the real mother as it would be a direct
Torah violation. In this particular instance abbah
723
hwhy of hosts is his name; and your
Redeemers3 the Set-Apart One of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); The Elohim of the
whole earth shall he be called.
6 For hwhy has called you as a woman
forsaken and grieved in Ruach (Spirit),
and a wife of youth, when you were cast
7 For a small moment have I forsaken
you; but with great mercies will I gather
you.
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from you
for a moment; but with everlasting
kindness will I have mercy on you, says
hwhy your Redeemer.
9 For this is as the waters of Noach
(Noah) to me: for as I have sworn that the
waters of Noach (Noah) should no more
go over the earth; so have I sworn that I
would not be angry with you, nor rebuke
you.5
10 For the mountains shall depart, and
the hills be removed; but my kindness
shall not depart from you, neither shall
the covenant of my shalom (peace) be
removed, says hwhy that has mercy on
you.
11 O you afflicted, tossed with tempest,
YHWH would never violate His own Torah because
His Son can take her to be wife because of the
injunction applied in Debarim 24:1, our abbah
would not reveal Himself in a physical form as He
is unseen but this is a little hard to discuss in a
footnote but essentially know that this ‘Baalekha’
can only work as husbands plural if there was one
husband abbah YHWH then divorce followed by
another husband meaning Son Yahushua. Please
note this is drash (allegory) at a deep level.
3 How can we have two Redeemers, the Hebrew
word go’alekha is used. It once again reveals the
one sent being Yahushua was by abbah YHWH, so
it shows two levels of authority and salvation.
Unfortunately this is concealed in many
translations perhaps not to confuse people in other
cultures.
4 She the House of Israel was divorced and cast
off.
5 It was YHWH’s responsibility to send forth a
redeemer which He did.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
and not comforted, behold, I will lay your
stones with fair colours, and lay your
foundations with sapphires.
12 And I will make your windows of
agates, and your gates of crystal, and all
your borders of pleasant stones.
13 And all your children shall be taught
of hwhy; and great shall be the shalom
(peace) of your children.
14 In righteousness shall you be
established: you shall be far from
oppression; for you shall not fear: and
from terror; for it shall not come near you.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather
together, but not by me: whosoever shall
gather together against you shall fall for
your sake.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that
blows the coals in the fire, and that brings
forth an instrument for his work; and I
have created the waster to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against
you shall prosper; and every tongue that
shall rise against you in right-ruling you
shall condemn. This is the heritage of the
servants of hwhy, and their
righteousness is of me, says hwhy.
Chapter 55
1 Oh, every one that thirsts, come to the
waters, and he that has no money; come
and buy, and eat; yes, come, buy wine
and milk without money and without
price.
2 Therefore do you spend money for
that which is not lechem (bread)? And
your labour for that which satisfies not?
Hearken diligently to me, and eat you that
which is good, and let your soul delight
itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me:
hear, and your soul shall live; and I will
make an everlasting covenant with you,
even the sure mercies of Dawud (David).
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness
to the people, a leader and commander
to the people.
5 Behold, you shall call a nation that
you know not, and nations that knew not
you shall run to you because of hwhy
724
your Elohim, and for the Set-Apart One of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); for he has glorified
you.
6 Seek you hwhy while he may be
found, call you upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and
the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let
him return to hwhy, and he will have
mercy upon him; and to our Elohim, for
he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,
says hwhy.
9 For as the heavens are higher than
the earth, so are my ways higher than
your ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts.
10 For as the rain comes down,1 and
the snow from shamayim (heavens), and
returns not there, but waters the earth,
and makes it bring forth and bud, that it
may give seed to the sower, and lechem
(bread) to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goes forth
out of my mouth: it shall not return to me
void, but it shall accomplish that which I
please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto I sent it.
12 For you shall go out with joy, and be
led forth with shalom (peace): the
mountains and the hills shall break forth
before you into singing, and all the etzim
(trees) of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up
the cypress etz (tree), and instead of the
nettle shall come up the myrtle etz (tree):
and it shall be to hwhy for a name, for an
everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
1 Here Isaiah compares the word (Torah) of YHWH
with rain, interestingly from the word Torah we get
Yarah, which literally is to cast forth rain from the
clouds, to point forth. In other words the Torah of
YHWH is designed to bless us; just like the
droplets of rain water fall on the field to produce
fruit.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
Chapter 56
1 Thus says hwhy, guard right-ruling,
and do justice: for my deliverance is near
to come, and my righteousness to be
revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that does this, and
the son of man that lays hold on it; that
Keeps the Sabbath from polluting it, and
Keeps his hand from doing any evil.1
3 Neither let the son of the foreigner that
has joined himself to hwhy, speak,
saying, hwhy has utterly separated me
from his people: neither let the eunuch
say, Behold, I am a dry etz (tree).
4 For thus says hwhy to the eunuchs
that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the
things that please me, and take hold of
my covenant;2
5 Even to them will I give in my house
and within my walls a place and a name
better than of sons and of daughters: I
will give them an everlasting name that
shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the foreigner, that join
themselves to the hwhy, to serve him,
and to love the name of the hwhy, to be
his servants, every one that Keeps the
Sabbath from polluting it, and takes hold
of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my Set-Apart
mountain, and make them joyful in my
house of prayer: their burnt offerings and
their sacrifices shall be accepted upon
my altar; for my house shall be called an
house of prayer for all people.
8 The Master hwhy which gathers the
outcasts of Yah’sar’el (Israel) says, Yet
will I gather others to him, beside those
that are gathered to him.
9 All you beasts of the field, come to
devour, yes, all you beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all
ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they
cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving

to slumber.
11 Yes, they are greedy dogs which can
never have enough, and they are
shepherds3 that cannot understand: they
all look to their own way, every one for
his gain, from his quarter.4
12 Come you, say they, I will fetch wine,
and we will fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow shall be as this day, and
much more abundant.
Chapter 57
1 The righteous perishes, and no man
lays it to heart: and merciful men are
taken away, none considering that the
righteous is taken away from the evil to
come.
2 He shall enter into shalom (peace):
they shall rest in their beds, each one
walking in his uprightness.
3 But draw near here, you sons of the
sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and
the whore.
4 Against whom do you sport
yourselves? Against whom make you a
wide mouth, and draw out the tongue?
Are you not children of transgression, a
seed of falsehood,
5 Enflaming yourselves with el (false
powers) under every green etz (tree),
slaying the children in the valleys under
the clefts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth stones of the
stream is your portion; they, they are your
lot: even to them have you poured a drink
offering, you have offered a meat
offering. Should I receive comfort in
these?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain have
you set your bed: even there you went up
to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts
have you set up your remembrance: for
3 Behaving like gentiles.
4 This is the state of the Christian church. Many
greedy pastors running after their own gain and
not caring for the things of YHWH.
725
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
you have discovered yourself to another
than me, and are gone up; you have
enlarged your bed, and made a covenant
with them; you loved their bed where you
saw it.
9 And you went to the Molech1 with
ointment, and did increase your
perfumes, and did send your messengers
far off, and did debase yourself even to
She’ol.
10 You are wearied in the greatness of
your way; yet said you not, There is no
hope: you have found the life of your
hand; therefore you were not grieved.
11 And of whom have you been afraid
or feared, that you have lied, and have
not remembered me, nor laid it to your
heart? Have not I held my shalom
(peace) even of old, and you feared me
not?
12 I will declare your righteousness, and
your works; for they shall not profit you.
13 When you cry, let your companies
deliver you; but the wind shall carry them
all away; vanity shall take them: but he
that puts his trust in me shall possess the
land, and shall inherit my Set-Apart
mountain;
14 And shall say, Cast you up, cast you
up, prepare the way, take up the
stumbling block out of the way of my
people.
15 For thus says the high and lofty One
that inhabits eternity, whose name is Set-
Apart; I dwell in the high and Set-Apart
place, with him also that is of a contrite
and humble Ruach (Spirit), to revive the
Ruach (Spirit) of the humble, and to
revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 For I will not contend forever, neither
will I be always wroth: for the Ruach
(Spirit) should fail before me, and the
souls which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness
was I angry, and smote him: I hid me,
and was wroth, and he went on
1 DSS
726
backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal
him: I will lead him also, and restore
comforts to him and to his mourners.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Shalom
shalom, (peace peace) to him that is far
off, and to him that is near,2 says hwhy;
and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled
sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters
cast up mire and dirt.
21 There is no shalom (peace), says my
Elohim, to the wicked.
Chapter 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice
like a shofar, and show my people their
transgression, and the house of Ya’acob
(Jacob) their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to
know my ways, as a nation that did
righteousness, and forsook not the
ordinance of their Elohim: they ask of me
the ordinances of justice; they take
delight in approaching to Elohim.
3 Therefore have we fasted, say they,
and you see not? Therefore have we
afflicted our soul, and you took no
knowledge? Behold, in the day of your
fast you find pleasure, and exact all your
labours.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate,
and to smite with the fist of wickedness:
you shall not fast as you do this day, to
make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? A
day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to
bow down his head as a bulrush, and to
spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
will you call this a fast, and an acceptable
day to hwhy?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen?
To loose the bands of wickedness, to
undo the heavy burdens, and to let the
oppressed go free, and that you break

every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal your lechem (bread) to
the hungry, and that you bring the poor
that are cast out to your house? When
you see the naked, that you cover him;
and that you hide not yourself from your
own flesh?
8 Then shall your light break forth as the
morning, and your health shall spring
forth speedily: and your righteousness
shall go before you; the glory of hwhy
shall be your rear guard.
9 Then shall you call, and hwhy shall
answer; you shall cry, and he shall say,
Here I am. If you take away from the
midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of
the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if you draw out your soul to the
hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then
shall your light rise in obscurity, and your
darkness be as the noonday:
11 And hwhy shall guide you
continually, and satisfy your soul in
drought, and make fat your bones: and
you shall be like a watered garden, and
like a spring of mayim (water), whose
waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of you shall
build the old waste places: you shall raise
up the foundations of many generations;
and you shall be called, The repairer of
the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell
in.
13 If you turn away your foot from the
Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my
Set-Apart day; and call the Sabbath a
delight, the Set-Apart of hwhy,
honorable; and shall honour him, not
doing your own ways, nor finding your
own pleasure, nor speaking your own
words:1

hwhy; and I will cause you to ride upon
the high places of the earth, and feed you

father: for the mouth of hwhy has spoken
it.2
Chapter 59
1 Behold, hwhy's hand is not shortened,
that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy
that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated
between you and your Elohim, and your
sins have hid his face from you, that he
will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood,
and your fingers with iniquity; your lips
have spoken lies, your tongue has
muttered perverseness.
4 None calls for justice, nor any pleads
for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak
lies; they conceive mischief, and bring
forth iniquity.
5 They hatch adder’s eggs, and weave
the spider's web: he that eats of their
eggs dies, and that which is crushed
breaks out into a viper.
6 Their webs shall not become
garments, neither shall they cover
themselves with their works: their works
are works of iniquity, and the act of
violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make
haste to shed innocent blood: their
thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting
and destruction are in their paths.3
8 The way of shalom (peace) they know
not; and there is no right-ruling in their
goings: they have made them crooked
paths: whosoever goes therein shall not
know shalom (peace).
9 Therefore is right-ruling far from us,
neither does justice overtake us: we wait
for light, but behold obscurity; for
brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind,
and we grope as if we had no eyes: we
stumble at noonday as in the night; we
2 There is none of this without a Sabbath.
3 Please see footnote Obadi’yah 1:10.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
are in desolate places as dead men.
11 We roar all like bears, and mourn
sore like doves: we look for right-ruling,
but there is none; for deliverance, but it is
far off from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied
before you, and our sins testify against
us: for our transgressions are with us;
and as for our iniquities, we know them;
13 In transgressing and lying against
hwhy, and departing away from our
Elohim, speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart
words of falsehood.
14 And right-ruling is turned away
backward, and justice stands afar off: for
truth is fallen in the street, and equity
cannot enter.
15 Yes, truth fails; and he that departs
from evil makes himself a prey: and hwhy
saw it, and it displeased him that there
was no right-ruling.
16 And he saw that there was no man,
and wondered that there was no
intercessor: therefore his arm brought
deliverance to him; and his
righteousness, it sustained him.
17 For he put on righteousness as a
breastplate, and a helmet of deliverance
upon his head; and he put on the
garments of vengeance for clothing, and
was clad with zeal as a cloak.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly
he will repay, fury to his adversaries,
recompense to his enemies; to the
islands he will repay recompense.
19 So shall they fear the name of hwhy
from the west, and his glory from the
rising of the sun. When the enemy shall
come in like a flood, the Ruach (Spirit) of
hwhy shall lift up a banner against him.
20 And the Redeemer shall come to
Tsiyon, and to them that turn from
transgression in Ya’acob (Jacob), says
hwhy.
21 As for me, this is my covenant with
them, says hwhy; My Ruach (Spirit) that
is upon you, and my words which I have
put in your mouth, shall not depart out of
your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your
728
seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's
seed, says hwhy, from henceforth and
forever.
Chapter 60
1 Arise, shine; for your light is come,
and the glory of hwhy is risen upon you.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover
the earth, and gross darkness the people:
but hwhy shall arise upon you, and his
glory shall be seen upon you.
3 And the Gentiles1 shall come to your
light, and kings to the brightness of your
rising.
4 Lift up your eyes roundabout, and
see: all they gather themselves together,
they come to you: your sons shall come
from far, and your daughters shall be
nursed at your side.
5 Then you shall see, and flow together,
and your heart shall fear, and be
enlarged; because the abundance of the
sea2 shall be converted to you, the forces
of the Gentiles shall come to you.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover
you, the dromedaries of Midian and
Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come:
they shall bring gold and incense; and
they shall show forth the praises of hwhy.
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be
gathered together to you,3 the rams of
Nebayoth shall minister to you: they shall
come up with acceptance on my altar,
and I will glorify the house of my glory.
8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and
as the doves to their windows?

the ships of Tarshish (Lebanon) first, to
bring your sons from far, their silver and
their gold with them, to the name of hwhy

10 And the sons of strangers shall build
up your walls, and their kings shall
minister to you: for in my wrath I smote
you, but in my favour have I had mercy
on you.
11 Therefore your gates shall be open
continually; they shall not be shut day nor
night; that men may bring to you the
forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings
may be brought.
12 For the nation and kingdom that will
not serve you shall perish; yes, those
nations shall be utterly wasted.
13 The glory of Lebanon shall come to
you, the cypress etz (tree), the pine etz
(tree), and the box together, to beautify
the place of my sanctuary; and I will
make the place of my feet glorious.
14 The sons also of them that afflicted
you2 shall come bending to you; and all
they that despised you shall bow
themselves down at the soles of your
feet; and they shall call you, The city of
hwhy, The Tsiyon of the Set-Apart One of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
15 Whereas you have been forsaken
and hated, so that no man went through
you, I will make you an eternal
excellence, a joy of many generations.
16 You shall also suck the milk of the
Gentiles, and shall suck the breast of
kings: and you shall know that I hwhy am
your Saviour and your Redeemer, the
mighty One of Ya’acob (Jacob).
17 For brass I will bring gold, and for
iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass,
and for stones iron: I will also make your
officers shalom (peace), and your
exactors righteousness.
18 Violence shall no more be heard in
your land, wasting nor destruction within
your borders; but you shall call your walls
Deliverance, and your gates Praise.
1 The House of Israel shall be carried back into
shops that will be supplied by Lebanon.
2 Muslims will come and bow before YHWH.
19 The sun shall be no more your light
by day; neither for brightness shall the
moon give light to you: but hwhy shall be
to you an everlasting light, and your
Elohim your glory.3
20 Your sun shall no more go down;
neither shall your moon withdraw itself:
for hwhy shall be your everlasting light,
and the days of your mourning shall be
ended.
21 Your people also shall be all
righteous: they shall inherit the land
forever, the branch of my planting, the
work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
22 A little one shall become a thousand,
and a small one a strong nation: I hwhy
will hasten it in his time.
Chapter 61
1 The Ruach (Spirit) of Master hwhy is
upon me; because hwhy has anointed
me to proclaim good tidings to the meek;
he has sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives, and the opening of the prison to
them that are bound;4
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of
hwhy, and the day of vengeance5 of our
Elohim; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint to them that mourn in
Tsiyon, to give to them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the Ruach (Spirit) of heaviness;
that they might be called etzim (trees) of
righteousness, the planting of hwhy, that
he might be glorified.
3 All Israel indeed saved.
4 The year of Jubilee proclaimed by Messiah the
first time He came and He will proclaim it the
second time he returns: Luke 4:18.
5 This passage was read by Yahushua in the synagogue
(Luke 4: 18) but he omitted the last phrase ‘Day of
vengeance’ because in his first coming He came as the
Messiah ben Yosef, as a suffering servant not as
Messiah ben Dawud as a reigning king and warrior from
whose mouth comes a sharp sword to take vengeance.
(Rev 19: 14).

 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
4 And they shall build the old wastes,
they shall raise up the former desolations,
and they shall repair the waste cities, the
desolations of many generations.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed
your flocks, and the sons of the alien
shall be your plowmen and your
vinedressers.
6 But you shall be named the Kohenim
(priests) of hwhy:1 men shall call you the
Ministers of our Elohim: you shall eat the
riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory
shall you boast yourselves.
7 For your shame you shall have
double; and for confusion they shall
rejoice in their portion: therefore in their
land they shall possess the double:
everlasting joy shall be to them.
8 For I hwhy love right-ruling, I hate
robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct
their work in truth, and I will make an
everlasting covenant with them.
9 And their seed shall be known among
the Gentiles, and their offspring among
the people: all that see them shall
acknowledge them, that they are the
seed which hwhy has blessed.2
10 I will greatly rejoice in hwhy, my soul
shall be joyful in my Elohim; for he has
clothed me with the garments of
deliverance, he has covered me with the
robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
decks himself with ornaments, and as a
bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth her bud,
and as the garden causes the things that
are sown in it to spring forth; so Master
hwhy will cause righteousness and praise
to spring forth before all the nations.

Chapter 62
1 For Tsiyon's sake will I not hold my
shalom (peace), and for Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem)'s sake I will not be quiet,3
until the righteousness thereof go forth as
brightness, and the deliverance thereof
as a lamp that burns.
2 And the Gentiles shall see your
righteousness, and all kings your glory:
and you shall be called by a renewed
name, which the mouth of hwhy shall
name.
3 You shall also be a crown of glory in
the hand of hwhy, and a royal diadem in
the hand of your Elohim.
4 You shall no more be termed
Forsaken;4 neither shall your land any
more be termed Desolate: but you shall
be called Hephzibah,5 and your land
Beulah (married): for hwhy delights in
you, and your land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
so shall your sons marry you: and as the
bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so
shall your Elohim rejoice over you.
6 I have set watchmen upon your walls,
O Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), which shall
never hold their shalom (peace) day nor
night: you that make mention of hwhy,
keep not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he establish,
and till he make Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) a praise in the earth.
8 hwhy has sworn by his right hand,
and by the arm of his strength, Surely I
will no more give your corn to be meat for
your enemies; and the sons of the
foreigner shall not drink your wine, for the
which you have laboured:
9 But they that have gathered it shall
eat it, and praise hwhy; and they that
have brought it together shall drink it in
the courts of my set-apartness.
3 Keep my mouth closed.

5 My delight is in her.
 Yashayahu (Isaiah)
10 Go through, go through the gates;
prepare the way of the people; cast up,
cast up the highway; gather out the
stones; lift up a standard for the people.
11 Behold, hwhy has proclaimed to the
end of the world, Say you to the daughter
of Tsiyon, Behold, your deliverance
comes; behold, his reward is with him,
and his work before him.
12 And they shall call them, The Set-
Apart people, The redeemed of hwhy:
and you shall be called, Sought out, A
city not forsaken.
Chapter 63
1 Who is this that comes from Edom,
with dyed garments from Bozrah?1 This
that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in
the greatness of his strength? I that
speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
2 Therefore are you red in your apparel,
and your garments like him that tread in
the wine press?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone;
and of the people there was none with
me: for I will tread them in my anger, and
trample them in my fury; and their blood
shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and
I will stain all my raiment.2
4 For the day of vengeance is in my
heart, and the year of my redeemed is
come.
5 And I looked, and there was none to
help; and I wondered that there was none
to uphold: therefore my own arm brought
deliverance to me; and my fury, it upheld
me.
6 And I will tread down the people in my
anger, and make them drunk in my fury,
and I will bring down their strength to the
earth.
7 I will mention the loving kindnesses of
hwhy, and the praises of hwhy,
according to all that hwhy has bestowed

on us, and the great goodness toward the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), which he has
bestowed on them according to his
mercies, and according to the multitude
of his loving kindnesses.
8 For he said, Surely they are my
people, children that will not lie: so he
was their Saviour.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted,
and the angel of his presence saved
them: in his love and in his pity he
redeemed them; and he bare them, and
carried them all the days of old.
10 But they rebelled, and vexed his Set-
Apart Ruach (Spirit): therefore he was
turned to be their enemy, and he fought
against them.3
11 Then he remembered the days of
old, Musa (Moses), and his people,
saying, Where is he that brought them up
out of the sea with the shepherd of his
flock? Where is he that put his Set-Apart
Ruach (Spirit) within him?
12 That led them by the right hand of
Musa (Moses) with his glorious arm,
dividing the mayim (water) before them,
to make himself an everlasting name?
13 That led them through the deep, as a
horse in the wilderness that they should
not stumble?
14 As a beast goes down into the
valley, the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy caused
him to rest: so did you lead your people,
to make yourself a glorious name.
15 Look down from the shamayim
(heavens), and behold from the habitation
of your set-apartness and of your glory:
where is your zeal and your strength, the
sounding of your bowels and of your
mercies toward me? Are they restrained?
16 Doubtless you are our Father,
though Abraham does not know us, and
Yah’sar’el (Israel) acknowledge us not:
you, O hwhy, are our Father, our
redeemer; your name is from everlasting.

Kodesh mentioned.

17 O hwhy, why have you made us to
err from your ways, and hardened our
heart from your fear? Return for your
servants' sake, the tribes of your
inheritance.1
18 The people of your set-apartness
have possessed it but a little while: our
adversaries have trodden down your
sanctuary.
19 We are your: you never bare rule
over them; they were not called by your
name.
Chapter 64
1 Oh that you would rend the heavens,
that you would come down, that the
mountains might flow down at your
presence,
2 As when the melting fire burns, the fire
cause the waters to boil, to make your
name known to your adversaries, that the
nations may tremble at your presence!
3 When you did terrible things which we
looked not for, you came down, the
mountains flowed down at your presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world
men have not heard, nor perceived by the
ear, neither has the eye seen, O Elohim,
beside you, what he has prepared for him
that wait for him.
5 You meet him that rejoices and works
righteousness, those that remember you
in your ways: behold, you are angry; for
we have sinned: in those is continuance,
and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing,
and all our righteousness is as filthy
menstrual rags; and we all do fade as a
leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have
taken us away.2
7 And there is none that calls upon your
name that stirs up himself to take hold of
you: for you have hid your face from us,

2 Salvation was always by grace and never by
works both for the Jewish nation and the returning
gentiles who are the Ten tribes.
and have consumed us, because of our
iniquities.
8 But now, O hwhy, you are our Father;
we are the clay, and you our potter; and
we all are the work of your hand.
9 Be not angry very sore, O hwhy,
neither remember iniquity forever: behold,
see, we beseech you, we are all your
people.
10 Your Set-Apart cities are a
wilderness, Tsiyon is a wilderness,
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) a desolation.
11 Our Set-Apart and our beautiful
house, where our ahvot (fathers) praised
you, is burned up with fire: and all our
pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Will you refrain yourself for these
things, O hwhy? will you hold your
shalom (peace), and afflict us very sore?
Chapter 65
1 I am sought of them that asked not for
me; I am found of them that sought me
not: I said, Behold me, behold me, to a

2 I have spread out my hands all the

6 Behold, it is written before me: I will
not keep silence, but will recompense,
even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of
your ahvot (fathers) together, says hwhy,
which have burned incense upon the
mountains, and blasphemed me upon the
hills: therefore will I measure their former
work into their bosom.
8 Thus says hwhy, As the new wine is
found in the cluster, and one says,
Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will
I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not
destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of
Ya’acob (Jacob), and out of Yahudah
(Judah) an inheritor of my mountains: and
my elect shall inherit it, and my servants
shall dwell there.

for using the title God because they do not

any uncleanness attached to it one thing is noted
that it is better to use the unclean title in an
unclean state then the sacred name in an unclean

12 Therefore will I number you to the
sword, and you shall all bow down to the
slaughter: because when I called, you did
not answer; when I spoke, you did not
hear; but did evil before my eyes, and did
choose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Therefore thus says Master hwhy,
Behold, my servants shall eat, but you
shall be hungry: behold, my servants
shall drink, but you shall be thirsty:
behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you
shall be ashamed:
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy
of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of
heart, and shall howl for vexation of
Ruach (Spirit).
15 And you shall leave your name for a
curse to my chosen: for Master hwhy
shall slay you, and call his servants by
another name:
16 That he who blesses himself in the
earth shall bless himself in the Elohim of
truth; and he that swears in the earth
shall swear by the Elohim of truth;
because the former troubles are
forgotten, and because they are hid from
my eyes.
17 For, behold, I create new heavens
and a new earth: and the former shall not
be remembered, nor come into mind.6
18 But be you glad and rejoice forever
in that which I create: for, behold, I create
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) a rejoicing,

vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another
inhabit; they shall not plant, and another
eat: for as the days of a etz (tree) are the
days of my people, and my elect shall
long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor
bring forth for trouble; for they are the
seed of the blessed of hwhy, and their
offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before
they call, I will answer; and while they are
yet speaking, I will hear.

The Scroll of
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
‫ירמיה‬
Chapter 1
1 The words of Yirme’yah1 (Jeremiah)
the son of Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah), of the
kohenim (priests) that were in Anathoth in
the land of Benyamin (Benjamin):
2 To whom the word of hwhy came in
the days of Yoshiyahu (Josiah) the son of
Amon king of Yahudah (Judah), in the
thirteenth year of his reign.
3 It came also in the days of Yahuyakim
(Jehoiakim) the son of Yoshiyahu
(Josiah) king of Yahudah (Judah), to the
end of the eleventh year of Zidqi’yah the
son of Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of
Yahudah (Judah), to the carrying away of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) captive in the
fifth month.
4 Then the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
5 Before I formed you in the belly I knew
you; and before you came forth out of the
womb I set you apart, and I ordained you
a prophet to the nations.
6 Then said I, Ah, Master hwhy! behold,
I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7 But hwhy said to me, Say not, I am a
child: for you shall go to all that I shall
send you, and whatsoever I command
you, you shall speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am
with you to deliver you, says hwhy.
9 Then hwhy put forth his hand, and
touched my mouth. And hwhy said to me,
Behold, I have put my words in your
mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the
nations and over the kingdoms, to root

will rise to crush the radical Islamic forces in the
future.
out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and
to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying, Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), what
do you see? And I said, I see a rod of an
almond etz (tree).2
12 Then said hwhy to me, You have
well seen: for I will hasten my word to
perform it.
13 And the word of hwhy came to me
the second time, saying, What see you?
And I said, I see a boiling pot; and the
face thereof is toward the north.
14 Then hwhy said to me, Out of the
north an evil shall break forth upon all the
inhabitants of the land.3
15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the
kingdoms of the north, says hwhy; and
they shall come, and they shall set every
one his throne at the entering of the gates
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and against
all the walls thereof roundabout, and
against all the cities of Yahudah (Judah).
16 And I will utter my judgments against
them touching all their wickedness, which
have forsaken me, and have burned
incense to other mighty ones, and
worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 You therefore gird up your loins, and
arise, and speak to them all that I
command you: be not dismayed at their
faces, lest I confound you before them.
18 For, behold, I have made you this
day a walled city, and an iron pillar, and
brazen walls against the whole land,
against the kings of Yahudah (Judah),
against the princes thereof, against the
kohenim (priests) thereof, and against the
people of the land.
19 And they shall fight against you; but
they shall not prevail against you; for I am
with you, says hwhy, to deliver you.

 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
Chapter 2
1 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
2 Go and cry in the ears of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), saying, Thus
says hwhy; I remember you, the kindness
of your youth, the love of your espousals,
when you went after me in the
wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
3 Yah’sar’el (Israel) was set-apart to
hwhy, and the first-fruits of his increase:
all that devour him shall offend; evil shall
come upon them, says hwhy.
4 Hear the word of hwhy, O house of
Ya’acob (Jacob), and all the families of
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
5 Thus says hwhy, What iniquity have
your ahvot (fathers) found in me, that
they are gone far from me, and have
walked after vanity, and are become
vain?
6 Neither said they, Where is hwhy that
brought us up out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), that led us through the
wilderness, through a land of deserts and
of pits, through a land of drought, and of
the shadow of death, through a land that
no man passed through, and where no
man dwelt?
7 And I brought you into a plentiful
country, to eat the fruit thereof and the
goodness thereof; but when you entered,
you defiled my land, and made my
heritage an abomination.
8 The kohenim (priests) said not, Where
is hwhy? and they that handle the Torah
knew me not: the priest also transgressed
against me, and the prophets prophesied
by Baal, and walked after things that do
not profit.
9 Therefore I will yet plead with you,
says hwhy, and with your children's
children will I plead.
10 For pass over the isles of Kittim, and
see; and send to Kedar, and consider
diligently, and see if there be such a
thing.
11 Has a nation changed their mighty
ones, which are yet no mighty ones? But
my people have changed their glory for
737
that which does not profit.
12 Be astonished, O you heavens, at
this, and be horribly afraid, be you very
desolate, says hwhy.
13 For my people have committed two
evils; they have forsaken me the fountain
of living waters, and hewed them out
cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no
mayim (water).
14 Is Yah’sar’el (Israel) a servant? Is he
a home born slave? Why is he spoiled?
15 The young lions roared upon him,
and yelled, and they made his land
waste: his cities are burned without
inhabitant.
16 Also the children of Noph and
Tahapanes have broken the crown of
your head.
17 Have you not procured this to
yourself, in that you have forsaken hwhy
your Elohim, when he led you by the
way?
18 And now what have you to do in the
way of Mitzrayim (Egypt), to drink the
waters of Sihor? Or what have you to do
in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters
of the river?
19 Your own wickedness shall correct
you, and your backslidings shall reprove
you: know therefore and see that it is an
evil thing and bitter, that you have
forsaken hwhy your Elohim, and that my
fear is not in you, says Master hwhy of
hosts.
20 For of old time I have broken your
yoke, and burst your bands; and you
said, I will not transgress; when upon
every high hill and under every green etz
(tree) you wandered, playing the harlot.
21 Yet I had planted you a noble vine,
wholly a right seed: how then are you
turned into the degenerate plant of a
strange vine to me?
22 For though you wash with detergent,
and use much soap, yet your iniquity is
marked before me, says Master hwhy.
23 How can you say, I am not polluted, I
have not gone after Baalim? See your
way in the valley, know what you have
done: you are a swift dromedary
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
traversing her ways;
24 A wild donkey used to the wilderness
that sniffing the wind at her pleasure; in
her occasion who can turn her away? All
they that seek her will not weary
themselves; in her month they shall find
her.
25 Keep your foot from being bare, and
your throat from thirst: but you said,
There is no hope: no; for I have loved
strangers, and after them will I go.
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is
found, so is the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) ashamed; they, their kings, their
princes, and their kohenim (priests), and
their prophets,
27 Saying to a stock, You are my father;
and to a stone, You have brought me
forth: for they have turned their back to
me, and not their face: but in the time of
their trouble they will say, Arise, and save
us.
28 But where are your mighty ones that
you have made you? Let them arise, if
they can save you in the time of your
trouble: for according to the number of
your cities are your mighty ones, O
Yahudah (Judah).
29 Therefore will you plead with me?
you all have transgressed against me,
says hwhy.
30 In vain have I smitten your children;
they received no correction: your own
sword has devoured your prophets, like a
destroying lion.
31 O generation, see you the word of
hwhy. Have I been a wilderness to
Yah’sar’el (Israel)? A land of darkness?
Therefore say my people, We are
masters; we will come no more to you?
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or
a bride her attire? Yet my people have
forgotten me days without number.
33 Why trim you your way to seek love?
therefore have you also taught the wicked
ones your ways.
34 Also in your skirts is found the blood
of the souls of the poor innocents: I have
not found it by secret search, but upon all
these.
738
35 Yet you say, Because I am innocent,
surely his anger shall turn from me.
Behold, I will plead with you, because you
say, I have not sinned.
36 Why do you go about so much to
change your way? You also shall be
ashamed of Mitzrayim (Egypt), as you
were ashamed of Assyria.
37 Yes, you shall go forth from him, and
your hands upon your head: for hwhy
has rejected your confidences, and you
shall not prosper in them.
Chapter 3
1 They say, If a man put away his wife,
and she go from him, and become
another man's,1 shall he return to her
again? Shall not that land be greatly
polluted? But you have played the harlot
with many lovers; yet return again to me,
says hwhy.
2 Lift up your eyes to the high places,
and see where you have not lain with
men. In the ways have you sat for them,2
as the Arabian in the wilderness;3 and
you have polluted the land with your
whoredoms and with your wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been
withheld, and there has been no latter
rain; and you have a whore's forehead,
you refuse to be ashamed.
4 Will you not from this time cry to me,
My father, you are the guide of my youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger forever? Will
he keep it to the end? Behold, you have

has been wronged or defrauded by the woman he
could put her away but in a public divorce the wife
would be stoned to death. See out footnote Deut
24:1-4. For Israel’s behavior she would be stoned
to death but her husband was stoned to death
instead so she could be free and He could take her
back.

goods so Israel is compared like one who sells
herself to foreign men.

could.
6 hwhy said also to me in the days of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) the king, Have you
seen that which backsliding Yah’sar’el
(Israel) has done?1 She is gone up upon
every high mountain and under every
green etz (tree),2 and there has played
the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all
these things, Return3 to me. But she
returned not. And her treacherous sister
Yahudah (Judah) saw it.4
8 And I saw, when for all the causes
whereby backsliding Yah’sar’el (Israel)
committed adultery I had put her away,5
and given her a certificate of divorce; yet 6 hwhy;
her treacherous sister Yahudah (Judah)
feared not, but went and played the harlot
also.
9 And it came to pass through her
frivolous whoredom, that she defiled the
land, and committed adultery with stones
and with wood. 7 be multiplied and increased in the land, in
10 And yet for all this her treacherous
sister Yahudah (Judah) has not turned to
me with her whole heart, but with
pretension, says hwhy.
1 The Ten Northern tribes only!
2 It was a common practice to setup altars and
statues or groves under trees as they were
considered fruitful. Women would go and tie
pieces of clothes to trees for good luck charms or
wishes to come true such as infertility. This custom
is still practiced in India and Pakistan by women
who believe that a saint has been buried there so
they go and tie little pieces of clothes on the trees
around their graves.
3 Repent back to me.
4 The two southern tribes.
5 Only Northern House that is Israel/Ephraim was
divorced, not the South House of Judah.
6 A Get (Bill of divorce) for disobedience. She did
not honour her agreement committed under Mount
Sinai.
7 Elohim made of wood and stone.
739
11 And hwhy said to me, backsliding
Yah’sar’el (Israel) has shown herself
more righteous than treacherous
Yahudah (Judah).
12 Go and proclaim these words toward
the north, and say, Return, backsliding
Yah’sar’el (Israel), says hwhy; and I will
not cause my anger to fall upon you: for I
am merciful, says hwhy, and I will not
keep anger forever.
13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that
you have transgressed against hwhy
your Elohim, and have scattered your
ways to the foreigners under every green
etz (tree), and you have not obeyed my
voice, says hwhy.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, says
for I am married8 to you: and I will
take you one of a city, and two of a
family, and I will bring you to Tsiyon:
15 And I will give you shepherds
according to my heart,9 which shall feed
you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when you
those days,10 says hwhy, they shall say
no more, The ark of the covenant of
hwhy: neither shall it come to mind:
neither shall they remember it; neither
shall they visit it;11 neither shall that be
done any more.
17 At that time they shall call
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) the throne of
hwhy; and all the nations shall be
gathered to it, to the name of hwhy, to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): neither shall
they walk any more after the imagination

18 In those days the house of Yahudah
(Judah) shall walk2 with the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and they shall come
together out of the land of the north3 to
the land that I have given for an
inheritance to your ahvot (fathers).
19 But I said, How shall I put you among
the children, and give you a pleasant
land, a goodly heritage of the armies of
nations? And I said, You shall call me, My
father; and shall not turn away from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously
departs from her husband, so have you
dealt treacherously with me, O house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), says hwhy.
21 A voice was heard upon the high
places,4 weeping and supplications of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel): for they
have walked in wickedness, and they
have forgotten hwhy their Elohim.
22 Return, you backsliding children, and
I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we
come to you; for you are hwhy our
Elohim.
23 Truly in vain is deliverance hoped for
from the hills, and from the multitude of
mountains: truly in hwhy our Elohim is
the deliverance of Yah’sar’el (Israel).5
24 For shame has devoured the labour
of our ahvot (fathers) from our youth; their
flocks and their herds, their sons and

2 This means both Houses will agree with each
other that the Torah is the only way to go and no
longer argue over doctrine and neither house will
be searching the Renewed Covenant for new
doctrines because nothing is new under the sun.
3 There will be no rapture. Both the House of
Israel will walk back and will not even be flying as
in a false rapture because these were non-Torah
keeping people and realized they were wrong.
They will come to Israel during the millennium
walking.

their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our
confusion covers us: for we have sinned
against hwhy our Elohim, we and our
ahvot (fathers), from our youth even to
this day, and have not obeyed the voice
of hwhy our Elohim.6
Chapter 4
1 If you will return, O Yah’sar’el (Israel),
says hwhy, return to me: and if you will
put away your abominations out of my
sight, then shall you cease straying.
2 And you shall swear, hwhy lives, in
truth, in right-ruling, and in righteousness;
and the nations shall bless themselves in
him, and in him shall they glory.
3 For thus says hwhy to the men of
Yahudah (Judah) and Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), Break up your fallow
ground, and sow not among thorns.
4 Circumcise yourselves to hwhy, and
take away the foreskins of your heart, you
men of Yahudah (Judah) and inhabitants
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): lest my fury
come forth like fire, and burn that none
can quench it, because of the evil of your
doings.
5 Declare in Yahudah (Judah), and
proclaim in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem);
and say, Blow the shofar in the land: cry,
gather together, and say, Assemble
yourselves, and let us go into the walled
cities.
6 Set up the standard toward Tsiyon:
retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the
north, and a great destruction.
7 The lion is come up from his thicket,7
and the destroyer of nations is on his
way; he is gone forth from his place to
make your land desolate; and your cities
shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8 For this gird yourselves with

disobedience not obeying Torah.

sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce
anger of hwhy is not turned back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day,
says hwhy, that the heart of the king shall
perish, and the heart of the princes; and
the kohenim (priests) shall be astonished,
and the prophets shall wonder.
10 Then said I, Ah, Master hwhy! Surely
you have greatly deceived this people
and Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), saying,
You shall have shalom (peace); whereas
the sword reaches to the soul.
11 At that time shall it be said to this
people and to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
A dry wind of the high places in the
wilderness toward the daughter of my
people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12 Even a full wind from those places
shall come to me: now also will I give
sentence against them.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds,
and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind:
his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe
to us! For we are spoiled.
14 O Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), wash
your heart from wickedness, that you may
be saved. How long shall your vain
thoughts lodge within you?
15 For a voice declares from Dan, and
proclaims affliction from Mount Ephraim.1
16 Make mention to the nations; behold,
proclaim against Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), that watchers come from a
2
far country, and give out their voice
against the cities of Yahudah (Judah).
17 As keepers of a field, are they
against her roundabout; because she has
been rebellious against me, says hwhy.
18 Your way and your doings have
procured these things to you; this is your
wickedness, because it is bitter, because
1 Mount Ephraim is prophetically Christians who
will come up and also prophesy.
2 Christians will come up from the US, and Europe
to make prophesies on Israel to warn of the
coming destruction. The Hebrew word Notzarim is
one for ‘branches,’ a title given to Christians.

it reaches to your heart.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained
at my very heart; my heart makes a noise
in me; I cannot hold my shalom (peace),
because you have heard, O my soul, the
sound of the shofar, the alarm of war.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried;
for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly
are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a
moment.
21 How long shall I see the banner, and
hear the sound of the shofar?
22 For my people are foolish, they have
not known me; they are stupid children,
and have no understanding: they are
skilled to do evil, but to do good they
have no knowledge.
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was
without form, and void; and the heavens,
and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they
trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld and lo there was no man,
and all the birds of the heavens were
fled.3
26 I beheld, and lo the fruitful place was
a wilderness, and all the cities thereof
were broken down at the presence of
hwhy, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus has hwhy said, The whole
land shall be desolate; yet will I not make
a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and
the heavens above be black: because I
have spoken it, I have purposed it, and
will not repent, neither will I turn back
from it.4
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise
of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall
go into forests, and climb up upon the
rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and
no man dwell therein.
30 And when you are spoiled, what will

you do? Though you cloth yourself with
crimson, though you deck yourselves with
ornaments of gold, though you paint your
face, in vain shall you make yourself fair;
your lovers will despise you, they will
seek your life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a
woman in travail, and the anguish as of
her that brings forth her first child, the
voice of the daughter of Tsiyon,1 that
bewails herself, that spreads her hands,
saying, Woe is me now! For my soul is
wearied because of murderers.
Chapter 5
1 Run to and fro through the streets of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and see now,
and know, and seek in the broad places
thereof, if you can find a man, if there be
any that executes right-ruling, that seeks
the truth; and I will pardon it.
2 And though they say, hwhy lives;
surely they swear falsely.
3 O hwhy, are not your eyes upon the
truth? You have stricken them, but they
have not grieved; you have consumed
them, but they have refused to receive
correction: they have made their faces
harder than a rock; they have refused to
return.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are
poor; they are foolish: for they know not
the way of hwhy, nor the right-ruling of
their Elohim.
5 I will get me to the great men, and will
speak to them; for they have known the
way of hwhy, and the right-ruling of their
Elohim: but these have altogether broken
the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Therefore a lion out of the forest shall
slay them, and a wolf of the evenings
shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch
over their cities: every one that goes out
there shall be torn in pieces: because
their transgressions are many, and their
1 Destruction of Jerusalem, one half of Jerusalem
shall be taken by Muslims.
742
backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon you for this? Your
children have forsaken me, and sworn by
them that are not mighty ones: when I
had fed them to the full, they then
committed adultery, and assembled
together in flocks in houses of
prostitutes.2
8 They were as fed horses in the
morning: every one lusts after his
neighbour's wife.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? Says
hwhy: and shall not my soul be avenged
on such a nation as this?
10 Go up upon her walls, and destroy;
but make not a complete end: strip the
branches; for they are not hwhy's.3
11 For the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
and the house of Yahudah (Judah) have
dealt very treacherously against me, says
hwhy.
12 They have denied what hwhy says,
and said, It is not he; neither shall evil
come upon us; neither shall we see
sword nor famine:
13 And their prophets are full of wind,4
and the word is not in them: thus shall it
be done to them.
14 Therefore thus says hwhy Elohim of
hosts, Because you speak this word,
behold, I will make my words in your
mouth fire, and this people wood, and it
shall devour them.
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you
from far, O house of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
says hwhy: it is a mighty nation, it is an
ancient nation, a nation whose language
you know not, neither understand what
they say.5
16 Their arrows will send you to your
2Pagan shrines with women who would sleep with
men as a service to their false elohim.

grave, they are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up your harvest,
and your lechem (bread), which your
sons and your daughters should eat: they
shall eat up your flocks and your herds:
they shall eat up your vines and your fig
etzim (trees): they shall impoverish your
fenced cities, wherein you trusted, with
the sword.
18 Nevertheless in those days, says
hwhy, I will not make a complete end of
you.
19 And it shall come to pass, when you
shall say, Therefore hwhy our Elohim
does all these things to us? Then shall
you answer them, Like as you have
forsaken me, and served strange mighty
ones in your land, so shall you serve
strangers in a land that is not your's.
20 Declare this in the house of Ya’acob
(Jacob), and proclaim it in Yahudah
(Judah), saying,
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and
without understanding; which have eyes,
and see not; which have ears, and hear
not:
22 You should fear me? Says hwhy: will
you not tremble at my presence, which
have placed the sand for the bound of the
sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot
pass it: and though the waves thereof
toss themselves, yet can they not prevail;
though they roar, yet can they not pass
over it?
23 But this people has a revolting and a
rebellious heart; they are revolted and
gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us
now fear hwhy our Elohim that gives rain,
both the former and the latter, in his
season: he reserves to us the appointed
weeks of the harvest.
25 Your iniquities have turned away
these things, and your sins have withheld
good things from you.
26 For among my people are found
wicked men: they lay wait, as he that sets
snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their
houses full of deceit: therefore they are
743
become great, and waxen rich.
28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yes,
they overpass the deeds of the wicked:
they judge not the cause, the cause of
the fatherless, yet they prosper; and they
do not defend the rights of the poor.
29 Shall I not visit for these things?
Says hwhy: shall not my soul be avenged
on such a nation as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is
committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and
the kohenim (priests) bear rule by their
means; and my people love to have it so:
and what will you do in the end thereof?
Chapter 6
1 O you children of Benyamin
(Benjamin), gather yourselves to flee out
of the midst of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
and blow the shofar in Tekowa, and set
up a sign of fire in Beyth-Hakkerem: for
evil appears out of the north, and great
destruction.
2 I have likened the daughter of Tsiyon
to a comely and delicate woman.
3 The shepherds with their flocks shall
come to her; they shall pitch their tents
against her roundabout; they shall feed
every one in his place.
4 Prepare to war against her; arise, and
let us go up at noon. Woe to us! For the
day is almost over and the shadows of
the evening are getting longer.
5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let
us destroy her palaces.
6 For thus has hwhy of hosts said, cut
down etzim (trees), and cast a Mount
against Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): this is
the city to be visited; she is wholly
oppression in the midst of her.
7 As a fountain casts out her waters, so
she casts out her wickedness: violence
and spoil is heard in her; before me
continually is grief and wounds.
8 Be you instructed, O Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), lest my soul depart from
you; lest I make you desolate, a land not
inhabited.
9 Thus says hwhy of hosts, They shall
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
thoroughly glean the remnant of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) as a vine: turn back
your hand as a grape gatherer into the
baskets.
10 To whom shall I speak, and give
warning, that they may hear? Behold,
their ear is uncircumcised, and they
cannot hearken: behold, the word of
hwhy is to them a reproach; they have no
delight in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of
hwhy; I am weary with holding in: I will
pour it out upon the children abroad, and
upon the assembly of young men
together: for even the husband with the
wife shall be taken, the aged with him
that is full of days.
12 And their houses shall be turned to
others, with their fields and wives
together: for I will stretch out my hand
upon the inhabitants of the land, says
hwhy.
13 For from the least of them even to
the greatest of them every one is given to
covetousness; and from the prophet even
to the kohen (priest) every one deals
falsely.
14 They have healed also the hurt of
the daughter of my people slightly,
saying, shalom, shalom (peace, peace);
when there is no shalom (peace).
15 Were they ashamed when they had
committed abomination? No, they were
not at all ashamed, neither could they
blush: therefore they shall fall among
them that fall: at the time that I visit them
they shall be cast down, says hwhy.
16 Thus says hwhy: "Stand in the
Ways1 and look intently, and make
inquiry for the ancient paths,2 where the
good way is, 3 and walk4 in it; then you
will find rest5 for your souls. But they said,
`We will not walk in it.'6
17 Also I set watchmen over you,
saying, give heed to the sound of the
shofar. But they said, We will not give
heed.
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and
know, O congregation, what is among
them.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil
upon this people, even the fruit of their
thoughts, because they have not heeded
to my words, nor to my Torah, but
rejected it.
20 To what purpose comes there to me
incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane
from a far country? Your burnt offerings
are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices
sweet to me.
21 Therefore thus says hwhy, Behold, I
will lay stumbling blocks before this
people, and the ahvot (fathers) and the
sons together shall fall upon them; the
neighbour and his friend shall perish.
22 Thus says hwhy, Behold, a people
comes from the north country, and a
great nation shall be raised from the
sides of the earth.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and
spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy;
their voice roars like the sea; and they
ride upon horses, set in array as men for
war against you, O daughter of Tsiyon.
24 We have heard the fame thereof: our
hands wax feeble: anguish has taken
hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in
travail.

yourselves with sackcloth, and roll about
in ashes: make mourning, as for an only
son, most bitter lamentation: for the
spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
27 I have set you for a tower and a
fortress among my people that you may
know and try their way.
28 They are all stubborn rebels, walking
as slanderers: they are brass and iron;
they are all corrupters.

1 The word that came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, saying,
2 Stand in the gate of hwhy's house,
and proclaim there this word, and say,
Hear the word of hwhy, all you of
Yahudah (Judah), that enter in at these
gates to worship hwhy.
3 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), Amend your ways
and your doings, and I will cause you to
dwell in this place.
4 Trust not in lying words, saying, The
Temple of hwhy, The Temple of hwhy,
The Temple of hwhy, are these.
5 For if you thoroughly amend your
ways and your doings; if you thoroughly
execute right-ruling between a man and
his neighbour;
6 If you oppress not the foreigner, the
fatherless, and the widow, and shed not
innocent blood in this place, neither walk
after other mighty ones to your hurt:
7 Then will I cause you to dwell in this
place, in the land that I gave to your
ahvot (fathers), forever and ever.
8 Behold, you trust in lying words that
cannot profit.
9 Will you steal, murder, and commit
adultery, and swear falsely, and burn
745
incense to Baal, and walk after other
mighty ones whom you know not;
10 And come and stand before me in
this house, which is called by my name,
and say, We are delivered to do all these
abominations?
11 Is this house, which is called by my
name, become a den of robbers in your
eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, says
hwhy.
12 But go now to my place which was in
Shiloh, where I set my name first, and
see what I did to it for the wickedness of
my people Yah’sar’el (Israel).
13 And now, because you have done all
these works, says hwhy, and I spoke to
you, rising up early and speaking, but you
heard not; and I called you, but you
answered not;
14 Therefore will I do to this house,
which is called by my name, wherein you
trust, and to the place which I gave to you
and to your ahvot (fathers), as I have
done to Shiloh.1
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as
I have cast out all your brethren, even the
whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Therefore pray not for this people,
neither lift up cry nor prayer for them,
neither make intercession to me: for I will
not hear you.
17 Do you not see what they do in the
cities of Yahudah (Judah) and in the
streets of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)?
18 The children gather wood, and the
ahvot (fathers) kindle the fire, and the
1 Shiloh was the place where Joshua first took the
tabernacle (Josh 18:1) but later because of the
sins of Israel after Eli’s time the Ark was taken by
the Philistines and this place was rejected Ps
78:60. Northern Israel was later taken captive by
the Assyrians. Just because Shiloh was the first
place that did not protect the ten tribes from their
sins, likewise YHWH warned Judah not to be
conceited about Jerusalem. Today believers can
learn a lesson from this, if YHWH did not spare
them then you are not special either, mend your
ways or get ready to face the boot of YHWH.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
women knead their dough, to make cakes
1
to the queen of shamayim (heavens),
and to pour out drink offerings to other
mighty ones, that they may provoke me
to anger. 2 sent to you all my servants the prophets,
19 Do they provoke me to anger? Says
hwhy: do they not provoke themselves to
the confusion of their own faces?
20 Therefore thus says Master hwhy;
Behold, my anger and my fury shall be
poured out upon this place, upon man,
and upon beast, and upon the etzim
(trees) of the field, and upon the fruit of
the ground; and it shall burn, and shall
not be quenched.3
21 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Put your burnt
offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
22 For I spoke not to your ahvot
(fathers), nor commanded them in the
day that I brought them out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), concerning burnt

23 But this thing commanded I them,
saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your
Elohim, and you shall be my people: and
walk you in all the ways that I have
commanded you, that it may be well to
you.
24 But they hearkened not,4 nor inclined
their ear, but walked in the counsels and
in the imagination of their evil heart, and

Catholicism do this by bowing to the idol of Mary
calling her the co-redemptrix and the queen of

went backward, and not forward.
25 Since the day that your ahvot
(fathers) came forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) to this day I have even
daily rising up early and sending them:
26 Yet they hearkened not to me, nor
inclined their ear, but hardened their
neck: they did worse than their ahvot
(fathers).
27 Therefore you shall speak all these
words to them; but they will not hearken
to you: you shall also call to them; but
they will not answer you.
28 But you shall say to them, This is a
nation that obeys not the voice of hwhy
their Elohim, nor receives correction: truth
is perished, and is cut off from their
mouth.
29 Cut off your hair, O Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and cast it away, and take
up a lamentation on high places; for
hwhy has rejected and forsaken the
generation of his wrath.
30 For the children of Yahudah (Judah)
have done evil in my sight, says hwhy:
they have set their abominations in the
house which is called by my name, to
pollute it.
31 And they have built the high places
of Tophet,5 which is in the valley of the
son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and
their daughters in the fire; which I
commanded them not, neither came it
into my heart.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come,
says hwhy, that it shall no more be called
Tophet, nor the valley of the son of
Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for
they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no
place.
5 The false elohim Molech was here to whom the
people were making child sacrifices. They would
sacrifice a child in the brass hands of molech and
then the priest of molech would beat the drums so
that the cries of the child would not be heard as he
got burned to cinders. The evil practice took place
here.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
33 And the carcasses of this people
shall be meat for the fowls of the
shamayim (heavens), and for the beasts
of the earth; and none shall frighten them
away.
34 Then will I cause to cease from the
cities of Yahudah (Judah), and from the
streets of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), the
voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness,
the voice of the bridegroom, and the
voice of the bride: for the land shall be
desolate.
Chapter 8
1 At that time, says hwhy, they shall
bring out the bones of the kings of
Yahudah (Judah), and the bones of his
princes, and the bones of the kohenim
(priests), and the bones of the prophets,
and the bones of the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), out of their
graves:
2 And they shall spread them before the
sun, and the moon, and all the armies of
shamayim (heavens), whom they have
loved, and whom they have served, and
after whom they have walked, and whom
they have sought, and whom they have
worshipped: they shall not be gathered,
nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon
the face of the earth.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than
life by all the residue of them that remain
of this evil family, which remain in all the
places where I have driven them, says
hwhy of hosts.
4 Moreover you shall say to them, Thus
says hwhy; Shall they fall, and not arise?
Shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Why then is this people of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) slidden back
by a perpetual backsliding? They hold
fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they
spoke not right: no man repented of his
wickedness, saying, What have I done?
Everyone turned to his course, like the
horse that rushes into battle.
7 Yes, the stork in the shamayim
(heavens) knows her appointed times;
747
and the turtle and the crane and the
swallow observe the time of their coming;
but my people know not the right-ruling of
hwhy.1
8 How do you say, We are wise, and the
Torah of hwhy is with us? But look, the
pen of the scribe, which works
falsehood.2
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are
dismayed and taken: lo, they have
rejected3 the word of hwhy; and what
wisdom is in them?
10 Therefore will I give their wives to
others, and their fields to them that shall
inherit them: for every one from the least
even to the greatest is given to
covetousness, from the prophet even to
the kohen (priest) every one deals falsely.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the
daughter of my people slightly, saying,
Shalom, shalom (peace, peace); when
there is no shalom (peace).
12 Were they ashamed when they had
committed abomination? No, they were
not at all ashamed, neither could they
blush: therefore shall they fall among
them that fall: in the time of their visitation
they shall be cast down, says hwhy.
13 I will surely consume them, says
hwhy: there shall be no grapes on the
vine, nor figs on the fig etz (tree), and the
leaf shall fade; and the things that I have
1 Christians are equally oblivious of the right-ruling
that is to come upon them for their disobedience
to Torah.
2 In essence meaning the teachings of the scribes
have taught what is not written in the Torah. So
the false pen of the scribe is an idiomatic
expression to mean they taught incorrectly. The
Torah that was in the hands of the Temple priests
could not be changed but the teachings could be
taught wrongly. Christendom is doing the same
today pushing many falsehoods that do not exist in
scriptures. One such is Christmas.
3 In order for someone to reject the word has to
exist and so it existed but they rejected it and
taught their own version of a new faith just like
Christendom has been doing since 1900 years.

given them shall pass away from them.
14 Why do we sit still? Assemble
yourselves, and let us enter into the
walled cities, and let us be silent there:
for hwhy our Elohim has put us to
silence, and given us mayim (water) of
gall to drink, because we have sinned
against hwhy.
15 We looked for shalom (peace), but
no good came; and for a time of health,
and behold trouble!
16 The snorting of his enemy’s horses
was heard from Dan: the whole land
trembled at the sound of the neighing of
his strong ones; for they are come, and
have devoured the land, and all that is in
it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 For, behold, I will send an enemy
against you like, poisonous snakes,
which will not be charmed away, and they
shall bite you, says hwhy.
18 When I would comfort myself against
sorrow, my heart is weary in me.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the
daughter of my people because of them
that dwell in a far country: Is not hwhy in
Tsiyon? Is not her king in her? Why have
they provoked me to anger with their
graven images, and with strange
vanities?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is
ended, and we are not saved.
21 For the affliction of the daughter of
my people am I afflicted; I mourn;
astonishment has taken hold on me.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead;1 is there
no physician there? Why then is not the
health of the daughter of my people
recovered?
Chapter 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my
eyes a fountain of tears, that I might
weep day and night for the slain of the

area and were taken down to Egypt in the older
days. See Genesis 37:25.
748
daughter of my people!
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a
lodging place of wayfaring men; that I
might leave my people, and go from
them! For they be all adulterers, an
assembly of treacherous men.
3 And they bend their tongues like their
bow for lies: but they are not valiant for
the truth upon the earth; for they proceed
from evil to evil, and they know not me,
says hwhy.
4 Take heed everyone of his neighbour,
and trust not in any brother: for every
brother will utterly supplant, and every
neighbour will walk with slanderers.
5 And they will deceive everyone his
neighbour, and will not speak the truth:
they have taught their tongue to speak
lies, and weary themselves to commit
iniquity.
6 Your habitation is in the midst of
deceit; through deceit they refuse to know
me, says hwhy.
7 Therefore thus says hwhy of hosts,
Behold, I will purify them, and try them;
for how shall I do for the daughter of my
people?
8 Their tongue is like deadly arrows;
they are always telling lies: one speaks
peaceably to his neighbour with his
mouth, but in heart he lays his wait.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things?
Says hwhy: shall not my soul be avenged
on such a nation as this?
10 For the mountains will I take up a
weeping and wailing, and for the
habitations of the wilderness a
lamentation, because they are burned up,
so that none can pass through them;
neither can men hear the voice of the
cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and
the beast are fled; they are gone.
11 And I will make Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) heaps, and a den of jackals;
and I will make the cities of Yahudah
(Judah) desolate, without an inhabitant.
12 Who is the wise man that may
understand this? And who is he to whom
the mouth of hwhy has spoken, that he
may declare it, for what the land perishes
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
and is burned up like a wilderness, that
none passes through?
13 And hwhy says, Because they have
forsaken my Torah which I set before
them, and have not obeyed my voice,
neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the
imagination of their own heart, and after
1
Baalim, which their ahvot (fathers)
taught them:
15 Therefore thus says hwhy of hosts,
the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Behold, I
will feed them, even this people, with
bitter right-ruling, and give them poison
mayim (water) to drink.2
16 I will scatter them also among the
nations, whom neither they nor their
ahvot (fathers) have known: and I will
send a sword after them, till I have
consumed them.
17 Thus says hwhy of hosts, Consider,
and call for the women who mourn for the
dead, that they may come; and send for
most skilled of them, that they may come:
18 And let them make haste, and take
up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run
down with tears, and our eyelids gush out
with waters.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of
Tsiyon, How are we spoiled! We are
greatly confounded, because we have
forsaken the land, because our dwellings
have cast us out.
20 Yet hear the word of hwhy, O you
women, and let your ear receive the word
of his mouth, and teach your daughters
wailing, and every one her neighbour
lamentation.
21 For death is come up into our
windows, and is entered into our palaces,
to cut off the children in the streets, and
the young men from the squares.
22 Speak, Thus says hwhy, Even the
1 Christendom too walks after the ‘lords’ their anti-
Semitic fathers have taught them. Many do not
know the name of Yahuweh.
2 This is for right-ruling and suffering.
carcasses of men shall fall as dung upon
the open field, and as the handful after
the harvestman, and none shall gather
them.
23 Thus says hwhy, Let not the wise
man glory in his wisdom, neither let the
mighty man glory in his might, let not the
rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glories glory in this,
that he understands and knows me, that I
am hwhy which exercise loving-kindness,
right-ruling, and righteousness, in the
earth: for in these things I delight, says
hwhy.
25 Behold, the days come, says hwhy,
that I will punish all of them which are
circumcised in the flesh;
26 All of Mitzrim (Egyptians), and
Yahudah (Judeans), and Edomites, and
the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all
the desert dwellers roundabout who cut
their hair short at the temples: for all
these gentile nations are uncircumcised,
and I will do so because none of them are
circumcised according to hwhy’s sight
and the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) are
uncircumcised in the heart.
Chapter 10
1 Hear the word which hwhy speaks to
you, O house of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
2 Thus says hwhy, Learn not the pagan
religious practices of the nations, and be
not in awe of signs of shamayim
(heavens); for the nations are in awe of
them.3
3 For the customs of the people are
worthless: for one cuts an etz (tree) out of
the forest, the work of the hands of the
workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold;
they fasten it with nails and with hammers
that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm etz
3 The nations are into all sorts of pagan practices
like horoscopes and watching moon and stars for
signs.

(tree), but cannot speak: they cannot
meet their own needs, because they
cannot move. Be not afraid of them; for
they cannot do evil, neither also is it in
them to do any good.1
6 Forasmuch as there is none like to
you, O hwhy; you are great, and your
name is great in might.
7 Who would not fear you, O King of
nations? For this is your due: forasmuch
as among all the wise men of the nations,
and in all their kingdoms, there is none
like to you.
8 But they are altogether stupid and
foolish: an instruction of worthlessness is
the tree.2
9 Silver spread into plates is brought
from Tarshish (Lebanon), and gold from
Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of
the hands of the founder: blue and purple
is their clothing: they are the handiwork of
skilled men.
10 But hwhy is the true Elohim, he is
the living Elohim, and an everlasting king:
at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and
the nations shall not be able to abide his
indignation.
11 Thus shall you say to them, The
mighty ones that have not made the
heavens and the earth, even they shall
perish from the earth, and from under
these heavens.
12 He has made the earth by his power,
he has established the world by his
wisdom, and has stretched out the
heavens by his discretion.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a
multitude of waters in the heavens, and
he cause the vapours to ascend from the
ends of the earth; he makes lightnings
with rain, and brings forth the wind out of

considered an auspicious sign but Christendom

bowing down to them.

his treasures.
14 Every man is stupid in his
knowledge: every goldsmith will be utterly
ashamed at the creation of his idols: for
his molten image is a sham/falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
15 They are vanity, and the work of
errors: in the time of their visitation they
shall perish.
16 The portion of Ya’acob (Jacob) is not
like them: for he is the former of all
things; and Yah’sar’el (Israel) is the rod of
his inheritance: hwhy of hosts is his
name.
17 Gather up your wares out of the land,
O inhabitant of the fortress.
18 For thus says hwhy, Behold, I will
sling out the inhabitants of the land at this
once, and will distress them, that they
may find it so.
19 Woe is me for my hurt! My wound is
grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief,
and I must bear it.
20 My tent is spoiled, and all my cords
are broken: my children are gone forth of,
and they are not coming back: there is
none to stretch forth my tent any more,
and to set up my curtains.
21 For the shepherds are become
stupid, and have not sought hwhy:
therefore they shall not prosper, and all
their flocks shall be scattered.
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is
come, and a great commotion out of the
north country, to make the cities of
Yahudah (Judah) desolate, and a den of
jackals.
23 O hwhy, I know that the way of man
is not in himself: it is not in man that
walks to direct his steps.
24 O hwhy, correct me, but with right-
ruling; not in your anger, lest you bring
me to nothing.
25 Pour out your fury upon the heathen
that know you not, and upon the families
that call not on your name: for they have
eaten up Ya’acob (Jacob), and devoured
him, and consumed him, and have made
his habitation desolate.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
Chapter 11
1 The word that came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, saying,
2 Hear the words of this covenant, and
speak to the men of Yahudah (Judah),
and to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem);
3 And say you to them, Thus says hwhy
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Cursed be
the man that obeys not the words of this
covenant,1
4 Which I commanded your ahvot
(fathers) in the day that I brought them
forth out of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt),
from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my
voice, and do them, according to all
which I command you: so shall you be my
people, and I will be your Elohim:
5 That I may perform the oath which I
have sworn to your ahvot (fathers), to
give them a land flowing with milk and
honey, as it is this day. Then answered I,
and said, So be it, O hwhy.
6 Then hwhy said to me, Proclaim all
these words in the cities of Yahudah
(Judah), and in the streets of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), saying, Hear
the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 For I earnestly protested to your ahvot
(fathers) in the day that I brought them up
out of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), even
to this day, rising early and protesting,
saying, Obey my voice.
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their
ear, but walked every one in the
imagination of their evil heart: therefore I
will bring upon them all the words of this
covenant, which I commanded them to
do; but they did them not.2
1 Men and women who do not obey the Torah live
under a present curse. That curse is not removed
by Yahushua until you return to obedience.
2 Even in Jeremiah’s time the terms of the Sinai
covenant had not changed and will remain eternal.
All those who refuse to be obedient to these terms
will remain under the curse and will be the tail and
not head.
9 And hwhy said to me, A conspiracy is
found among the men of Yahudah
(Judah), and among the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
10 They are turned back to the iniquities
of their forefathers, which refused to hear
my words; and they went after other
mighty ones to serve them: the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) and the house of
Yahudah (Judah) have broken my
covenant which I made with their ahvot
(fathers).
11 Therefore thus says hwhy, Behold, I
will bring evil upon them, which they shall
not be able to escape; and though they
shall cry to me, I will not hearken to them.
12 Then shall the cities of Yahudah
(Judah) and inhabitants of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) go, and cry to the false
mighty ones (elohim) to whom they offer
incense: but they shall not save them at
all in the time of their trouble.
13 For according to the number of your
cities were your false mighty ones
(elohim), O Yahudah (Judah); and
according to the number of the streets of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) have you set
up altars to that shameful thing, even
altars to burn incense to Baal.
14 Therefore pray not for this people,
neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for
I will not hear them in the time that they
cry to me for their trouble.
15 What has my beloved to do in my
house, seeing she has wrought lewdness
with many, and the Set-Apart flesh is
passed from you? When you do evil, then
you rejoice.
16 hwhy called your name, A green
olive etz (tree),3 fair, and of goodly fruit:
with the noise of a great tumult he has
kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it
are broken.4
3Israel is a green Olive tree; this is the prophecy
which Rabbi Paulos referenced in Romans 11.
4 This matches with Romans 11:17 see footnote.
The Hebrew word could be translated ‘good for

 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
17 For hwhy of hosts, that planted you,
has pronounced evil against you, for the
evil of the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and
of the house of Yahudah (Judah), which
they have done against themselves to
provoke me to anger in offering incense
to Baal.
18 And hwhy has given me knowledge
of it, and I know it: then you showed me
their doings.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is
brought to the slaughter; and I knew not
that they had devised devices against
me, saying, Let us destroy the etz (tree)
with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him
off from the land of the living, that his
name may be no more remembered.
20 But, O hwhy of hosts, that judges
righteously, that tries the kidneys and
heart, let me see your vengeance on
them: for to you have I revealed my
cause.
21 Therefore thus says hwhy of the
men of Anathoth, that seek your life,
saying, Prophesy not in the name of
hwhy, that you die not by our hand:
22 Therefore thus says hwhy of hosts,
Behold, I will punish them: the young men
shall die by the sword; their sons and
their daughters shall die by famine:
23 And there shall be no remnant of
them: for I will bring evil upon the men of
Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Chapter 12
1 Righteous are you, O hwhy, when I
plead with you: yet let me talk with you of
your judgments: Why do the wicked
prosper in their way? Why do dishonest
people have such easy lives?
2 You have planted them, yes, they
have taken root: they grow, yes, they
bring forth fruit: they always talk about
you, but do not really care about you.
nothing’ but the idea is not a complete break but
wounding of the branch, which is what Rabbi
Paulos was conveying. Judah was not removed
but Ephraim was grafted back.
752
3 But you, O hwhy, know me: you have
seen me, and tried my heart toward you:
pull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
and prepare them for the day of
slaughter.
4 How long shall the land mourn, and
the herbs of every field wither, for the
wickedness of them that dwell therein?
The beasts are consumed, and the birds;
because they said, He shall not see our
last end.
5 If you have run with the footmen, and
they have wearied you, then how can you
contend with horses? And if in the land of
shalom (peace), wherein you trusted,
they wearied you, then how will you do in
the swelling of Yardan (Jordan)?
6 For even your brethren, and the
house of your father, even they have
dealt treacherously with you; yes, they
have called a multitude after you: believe
them not, though they speak fair words to
you.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left
my heritage; I have given the dearly
beloved of my soul into the hand of her
enemies.
8 My heritage is to me as a lion in the
forest; it cries out against me: therefore
have I hated it.
9 My heritage is to me as a speckled
bird, the birds roundabout are against
her; come, assemble all the beasts of the
field, come to devour.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my
vineyard, they have trodden my portion
under foot, they have made my pleasant
portion a desolate wilderness.
11 They have made it desolate, and
being desolate it mourns to me; the whole
land is made desolate, because no man
lays it to heart.
12 The spoilers are come upon all high
places through the wilderness: for the
sword of hwhy shall devour from the one
end of the land even to the other end of
the land: no flesh shall have shalom
(peace).
13 They have sown wheat, but shall
reap thorns: they have put themselves to
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be
ashamed of your revenues because of
the fierce anger of hwhy.
14 Thus says hwhy against all my evil
neighbours, that touch the inheritance
which I have caused my people
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to inherit; Behold, I will
pluck them out of their land, and pluck out
the house of Yahudah (Judah) from
among them.
15 And it shall come to pass, after that I
have plucked them out I will return, and
have compassion on them, and will bring
them again, every man to his heritage,
and every man to his land.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will
diligently learn the ways of my people, to
swear by my name, hwhy lives; as they
taught my people to swear by Baal; then
shall they be built in the midst of my
people. 1 and the whole house of Yahudah
17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly
pluck up and destroy that nation, says
hwhy. 2 a praise, and for a glory: but they would

1 Thus says hwhy to me, Go and get a
linen girdle, and put it upon your loins,
and put it not in mayim (water).
2 So I got a girdle according to the word
of hwhy, and put it on my loins.
3 And the word of hwhy came to me the
second time, saying,
4 Take the girdle that you have got,
which is upon your loins, and arise, go to
Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of
the rock.
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as
hwhy commanded me.
6 And it came to pass after many days,
that hwhy said to me, Arise, go to
Euphrates, and take the girdle from there,
1 Christians will learn the truth of YHWH’s name
one day.
2 They will be given a chance in the millennium
but if the House of Israel does not obey then they
will be removed from Israel and destroyed.
753
which I commanded you to hide there.
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and dug,
and took the girdle from the place where I
had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was
marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8 Then the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
9 Thus says hwhy, After this manner
will I mar the pride of Yahudah (Judah),
and the great pride of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear
my words, which walk in the imagination
of their heart, and walk after other mighty
ones, to serve them, and to worship
them, shall even be as this girdle, which
is good for nothing.
11 For as the girdle cleaves to the loins
of a man, so have I caused to cleave to
me the whole house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
(Judah), says hwhy; that they might be to
me for a people, and for a name, and for
not hear.
12 Therefore you shall speak to them
this word; Thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Every bottle shall be
filled with wine: and they shall say to you,
Do we not certainly know that every bottle
shall be filled with wine?
13 Then shall you say to them, Thus
says hwhy, Behold, I will fill all the
inhabitants of this land, even the kings
that sit upon Dawud (David)'s throne, and
the kohenim (priests), and the prophets,
and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), with drunkenness.
14 And I will dash them one against
another, even the ahvot (fathers) and the
sons together, says hwhy: I will not pity,
nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy
them.
15 Hear, and give ear; be not proud: for
hwhy has spoken.
16 Give glory to hwhy your Elohim,
before he cause darkness, and before
your feet stumble upon the dark
mountains, and, while you look for light,
he turn it into the shadow of death, and
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
make it gross darkness.
17 But if you will not hear it, my soul
shall weep in secret places for your pride;
and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run
down with tears, because hwhy's flock is
carried away captive.
18 Say to the king and to the queen,
Humble yourselves, sit down: for your
principalities shall come down, even the
crown of your glory.
19 The cities of the south shall be shut
up, and none shall open them: Yahudah
(Judah) shall be carried away captive all
of it, it shall be wholly carried away
captive.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them
that come from the north: where is the
flock that was given you, your beautiful
flock?
21 What will you say when he shall
punish you? For you have taught them to
be commanders, and as chief over you:
shall not sorrows take you, as a woman
in travail?
22 And if you say in your heart, Why do
these things upon me? For the greatness
of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered,
and your heels torn with violence.
23 Can the Cushite change his skin, or
the leopard his spots? Then may you also
do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the
stubble that passes away by the wind of
the wilderness.
25 This is your lot, the portion of your
measures from me, says hwhy; because
you have forgotten me, and trusted in
falsehood.
26 Therefore will I uncover your skirts
upon your face that your shame may
appear.
27 I have seen your adulteries, and your
lust, your shameless whoredoms, and
your abominations on the hills in the
fields. Woe to you, O Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem)! You are doomed to
destruction. When will you be made
clean?
754
Chapter 14
1 The word of hwhy that came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) concerning the
dearth.
2 Yahudah (Judah) mourns, and the
gates thereof languish; they are black to
the ground; and the cry of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) is gone up.
3 And their nobles have sent their little
ones to the waters: they came to the pits,
and found no mayim (water); they
returned with their vessels empty; they
were ashamed and confounded, and
covered their heads.
4 Because the ground is cracked, for
there was no rain in the earth, the
plowmen were ashamed, they covered
their heads in shame.
5 Yes, the hind also calved in the field,
and forsook it, because there was no
grass.
6 And the wild donkeys did stand in the
high places, they sniffed the wind like
jackals; their eyes did fail, because there
was no grass.
7 O hwhy, though our iniquities testify
against us, intervene for your name's
sake: for our backslidings are many; we
have sinned against you.
8 O the hope of Yah’sar’el (Israel), the
saviour thereof in time of trouble, why
should you be as a foreigner in the land,
and as a wayfaring man that turns aside
to stay for a night?
9 Why should you be as a man
astonished, as a mighty man that cannot
save? Yet you, O hwhy, are in the midst
of us, and we are called by your name; let
us not perish.
10 Thus says hwhy to this people,
Thus have they loved to wander, they
have not refrained their feet, therefore
hwhy does not accept them; he will now
remember their iniquity, and visit their
sins.
11 Then said hwhy to me, Pray not for
this people for their good.
12 When they fast, I will not hear their
cry; and when they offer burnt offering
and offerings, I will not accept them: but I
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
will consume them by the sword, and by
the famine, and by the pestilence.
13 Then said I, Ah, Master hwhy!
Behold, the prophets say to them, You
shall not see the sword, neither shall you
have famine; but I will give you assured
shalom (peace) in this place.
14 Then hwhy said to me, The prophets
prophesy lies in my name: I sent them
not, neither have I commanded them,
neither spoke to them: they prophesy to
you a false vision and divination, and a
thing of naught, and the deceit of their
heart.1
15 Therefore thus says hwhy
concerning the prophets that prophesy in
my name, and I sent them not, yet they
say, Sword and famine shall not be in this
land; By sword and famine shall those
prophets be consumed.
16 And the people to whom they
prophesy shall be cast out in the streets
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) because of
the famine and the sword; and they shall
have none to bury them, them, their
wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters:
for I will pour their wickedness upon
them.
17 Therefore you shall say this word to
them; Let my eyes run down with tears
night and day, and let them not cease: for
the virgin daughter of my people is
broken with a crushing blow, with a very
grievous wound.
18 If I go forth into the field, then behold
the slain with the sword! And if I enter into
the city, then behold them that are sick
with famine! Yes, both the prophet and
the kohen (priest) go about into a land
that they know not.
19 Have you utterly rejected Yahudah
(Judah)? Has your soul hated Tsiyon?
why have you smitten us, and there is no
healing for us? We looked for shalom
1 There are many such prophets who do the same
today and prophesy deceit and things which YHWH
has not said and giving the people a false hope.
755
(peace), and there is no good found; and
for we look for a time of relief, and behold
terror!
20 We acknowledge, O hwhy, our
wickedness, and the iniquity of our ahvot
(fathers): for we have sinned against you.
21 Do not abhor us, for your name's
sake, do not disgrace the throne of your
glory: remember, break not your
covenant with us.2
22 Can the false elohim of the nations
cause rain? Or can the heavens give
showers? Are not you he, O hwhy our
Elohim? Therefore we will wait upon you:
for you do all these things.
Chapter 15
1 Then said hwhy to me, Though Musa
(Moses) and Shemu’el (Samuel) stood
before me to plead for them, I would not
feel pity for these people: cast them out
of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say
to you, Where shall we go forth? Then
you shall tell them, Thus says hwhy;
Such as are for death, to death; and such
as are for the sword, to the sword; and
such as are for the famine, to the famine;
and such as are for the captivity, to the
captivity.
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds
of terror, says hwhy: the sword to slay,
and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the
shamayim (heavens), and the beasts of
the earth, to devour and destroy.3
2 Jeremiah pleads the covenant not the blood!!!
This is where everything hinges, on the covenant
as the blood of Messiah is tied to the covenant and
not the other way around as Christians are
mistaken about this.
3 Four kinds of terror are illustrated here.
This is drash allegorical reference to the earth,
North, South, East and West, they will come from
all directions to kill the Jews. Who does this today?
a) Sword - heref - this could be a dagger, sword
or any other metal instrument to literally
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
4 And I will cause them to be removed
into all kingdoms of the earth, because of
Manashsheh the son of Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) king of Yahudah (Judah), for
that which he did in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
5 For who shall have pity upon you, O
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)? Or who shall
bemoan you? Or who shall go aside to
ask how you do?
6 You have forsaken me, says hwhy,
you are gone backward: therefore will I
stretch out my hand against you, and
destroy you; I have grown tired of feeling
pity for you.
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the
gates of the land; I will bereave them of
children, I will destroy my people, since
they repented not from their ways.
8 Their widows are increased to me
above the sand of the seas: I have
brought upon them against the mother of
the young men a spoiler at noonday: I
commit homicide - Muslims are killing Jews like
this in the land.
b) Dogs - Keleb - Literally tearing at them check
Exodus 11:7 applied to Egyptians, First Sam 17:43
applied to Philistines, the application gentiles
applies throughout time but here to radical
Islamists.
c) The word for "tear" is sohab literally to drag on
the ground, in Arabic sahab.
d) Fowls of heaven - allegorical for flying rockets
to fall on the Jews - Ketusha, birds are also a
reference to satanic angelic hosts.
e) Beasts - Behemah - root word in Biblical
Hebrew is HM or Hem that means a multitude,
remember the multitude of the book of Revelation?
The Muslims are that multitude in many numbers
attacking them.
f) The word "destroy" again the Hebrew word
"Shawkath" that refers to slaying by knife.
So all the terrors that are and will come upon
Israel are by radical Islam!
756
have caused him to fall upon it suddenly,
and terrors upon the city.
9 She that has borne seven languishes:
she has given up the ghost; her sun is
gone down while it was yet day: she has
been ashamed and confounded: and the
residue of them will I deliver to the sword
before their enemies, says hwhy.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you
have borne me a man of strife and a man
of contention to the whole earth! I have
neither lent on usury, nor men have lent
to me on usury; yet every one of them
does curse me.
11 hwhy said, Verily it shall be well with
your remnant; verily I will cause the
enemy to entreat you well in the time of
evil and in the time of affliction.
12 Can you who are like iron and
bronze break the fist of iron from the
north?
13 Your substance and your treasures
will I give to the spoil without price, and
that for all your sins, even in all your
borders.
14 And I will make you to pass with your
enemies into a land which you know not:
for a fire is kindled in my anger, which
shall burn upon you.
15 O hwhy, you know: remember me,
and visit me, and revenge me of my
persecutors; take me not away in your
longsuffering: know that for your sake I
have suffered rebuke.
16 Your words were found, and I did eat
them; and your word was to me the joy
and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called
by your name, O hwhy Elohim of hosts.
17 I sat not in the assembly of the
mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone
because of your hand: for you have filled
me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my
wound incurable, which refuses to be
healed? Will you be altogether to me as a
liar, and as waters that fail?
19 Therefore thus says hwhy, If you
return, then will I bring you again, and
you shall stand before me: and if you take
forth the precious from the vile, you shall
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
be as my mouth: let them return to you;
but return not you to them.
20 And I will make you to this people a
fenced bronze wall: and they shall fight
against you, but they shall not prevail
against you: for I am with you to save you
and to deliver you, says hwhy.
21 And I will deliver you out of the hand
of the wicked, and I will redeem you out
of the hand of the terrible.
Chapter 16
1 The word of hwhy came also to me,
saying,
2 You shall not take a wife, neither shall
you have sons or daughters in this place.
3 For thus says hwhy concerning the
sons and concerning the daughters that
are born in this place, and concerning
their mothers that bare them, and
concerning their ahvot (fathers) that
birthed them in this land;
4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they
shall not be lamented; neither shall they
be buried; but they shall be as dung upon
the face of the earth: and they shall be
consumed by the sword, and by famine;
and their carcasses shall be meat for the
fowls of shamayim (heavens), and for the
beasts of the earth.
5 For thus says hwhy, Enter not into the
house of mourning, neither go to lament
nor bemoan them: for I have taken away
my shalom (peace) from this people, says
hwhy, even loving-kindness and mercies.
6 Both the great and the small shall die
in this land: they shall not be buried,
neither shall men lament for them, nor cut
themselves, nor shave their heads for
them:
7 Neither shall men break bread for
them in mourning, to comfort them for the
dead; neither shall men give them the
cup of consolation to drink for their father
or for their mother.
8 You shall not also go into the house of
feasting, to sit with them to eat and to
drink.
9 For thus says hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Behold, I will
757
cause to cease out of this place in your
eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth,
and the voice of gladness, the voice of
the bridegroom, and the voice of the
bride.
10 And it shall come to pass, when you
shall show this people all these words,
and they shall say to you, Therefore has
hwhy pronounced all this great evil
against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or
what is our sin that we have committed
against hwhy our Elohim?
11 Then shall you say to them, Because
your ahvot (fathers) have forsaken me,
says hwhy, and have walked after other
false elohim, and have served them, and
have worshipped them, and have
forsaken me, and have not kept my
Torah;
12 And you have done worse than your
ahvot (fathers); for, behold, you walk
everyone after the imagination of his evil
heart, that they may not hearken to me:
13 Therefore will I cast you out of this
land into a land that you know not, neither
you nor your ahvot (fathers); and there
shall you serve other false elohim day
and night; where I will not show you
favour.
14 Therefore, behold, the days come,
says hwhy, that it shall no more be said,
hwhy lives, that brought up the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt);
15 But, hwhy lives that brought up the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) from the
land of the north, and from all the lands
where he had driven them: and I will bring
them again into their land that I gave to
their ahvot (fathers).
16 Behold, I will send for many fishers,
says hwhy, and they shall fish them;1 and
1 Yahushua and His disciples going out in the
nations to proclaim the true gospel fishing them
out or fishing the ‘men’ a term for the scattered
house of Israel. The term ‘hunters’ would be the
time period when the Jewish people would come
under immense persecution and would naturally
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
after will I send for many hunters, and
they shall hunt them from every
mountain, and from every hill, and out of
the holes of the rocks.
17 For my eyes are upon all their ways:
they are not hid from my face, neither is
their iniquity hid from my eyes. 1 2 Whilst their children remember their
18 And first I will recompense their
iniquity and their sin double;2 because
they have defiled my land, they have
filled my inheritance with the carcasses of
their detestable and abominable things.
19 O hwhy, my strength, and my
fortress, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, the nations shall come3 to you
from the ends of the earth, and shall say,
Surely our ahvot (fathers) have inherited
lies,4 vanity, and things wherein there is
no value.
20 Shall a man make mighty ones to
himself, and they are no mighty ones?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once
cause them to know, I will cause them to
know my hand and my might; and they
shall know that my name is The hwhy.5
want to return back to the land of Israel. See
footnotes in Ezekiel 37 why this exodus will be the
greatest ever and the end of exile for Israel.
1 The responsibility is on YHWH, He is the
covenant keeper so keeps an eye on Israel.
2 Before they are brought in the land he will purge
the rebels out and account for their sin first.
3 At the return of Messiah these will have to walk
back as there will be no rapture for these
Christians because they believed in lies all along
and refuse to believe in Torah as their church
leaders taught them falsehoods and did not teach
full truth.
4 It is not one man’s job to change the behavior
and the lies that Christendom has adopted and
they will in majority continue in them until right at
the end while some will find complete truth and
leave the lies and come into the full light.
5 Finally YHWH will reveal His great name to them.
758
Chapter 17
1 The sin of Yahudah (Judah) is written
with a pen of iron, and with the point of a
diamond: it is graven upon the table of
their heart, and upon the horns of your
altars;
altars and their asherah poles by the
green etzim (trees) upon the high hills.
3 O my mountain in the field, I will give
your substance and all your treasures to
the spoil, and your high places for sin,
throughout all your borders.
4 And you, even yourself, shall
discontinue from your heritage that I gave
you; and I will cause you to serve your
enemies in the land which you know not:
for you have kindled a fire in my anger,
which shall burn forever.
5 Thus says hwhy; Cursed be the man
that trusts in man, and makes flesh his
arm, and whose heart departs from
hwhy.
6 For he shall be like the shrub in the
desert, and shall not see when good
comes; but shall inhabit the parched
places in the wilderness, in a salt land
and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusts in
hwhy, and whose hope hwhy is.
8 For he shall be as an etz (tree)
planted by the waters, and that spreads
out her roots by the river, and shall not
see when heat comes, but her leaf shall
be green; and shall not be careful in the
year of drought, neither shall cease from
yielding fruit.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and incurably bad: who can know it?6
10 I hwhy search the heart, I try the
kidneys, even to give every man
according to his ways, and according to
the fruit of his doings.
11 The person who acquires wealth by
6 This is not talking about our human organ, the
heart but our mind. May be accurate to say the
‘mind is wicked and incurably sick.’
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
unjust means is like the partridge that
broods over eggs, and hatches them not;
shall leave the wealth in the middle of his
life, and at his end shall be as a fool.
12 A glorious high throne from the
beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O hwhy, the hope of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), all that forsake you shall be
ashamed, and they that depart from me
shall be written in the dust,1 because they
have forsaken hwhy, the fountain of living
waters.
14 Heal me, O hwhy, and I shall be
healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for
you are my praise.
15 Behold, they say to me, Where is the
word of hwhy? Let it come now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from
being a shepherd to follow you: neither
have I desired the day of destruction; you
know: that which came out of my lips was
right before you.
17 Be not a terror to me: you are my
hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that
persecute me, but let not me be
confounded: let them be dismayed, but
let not me be dismayed: bring upon them
the day of evil, and destroy them with
double destruction.
19 Thus said hwhy to me; Go and stand
in the gate of the children of the people,
whereby the kings of Yahudah (Judah)
come in, and by the which they go out,
and in all the gates of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem);
20 And say to them, Hear the word of
hwhy, you kings of Yahudah (Judah),
and all Yahudah (Judah), and all the
inhabitants of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
that enter in by these gates:
21 Thus says hwhy; Take heed to
yourselves, and bear no burden on the
Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates
1 Idiomatic to mean end up in She’ol the place of
judgment until the resurrection.
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem);2
22 Neither carry forth a burden out of
your houses on the Sabbath day, neither
do you any work, but set-apart the
Sabbath day, as I commanded your ahvot
(fathers).
23 But they did not obey, neither
inclined their ear, but were stubborn, that
they might not hear, nor receive
instruction.
24 And it shall come to pass, if you
diligently hearken to me, says hwhy, to
bring in no burden through the gates of
this city on the Sabbath day, but set-apart
the Sabbath day, to do no work therein;
25 Then shall there enter into the gates
of this city kings and princes sitting upon
the throne of Dawud (David), riding in
chariots and on horses, they, and their
princes, the men of Yahudah (Judah),
and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem): and this city shall remain
forever.
26 And they shall come from the cities
of Yahudah (Judah), and from the places
about Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
from the land of Benyamin (Benjamin),
and from the plain, and from the
mountains, and from the south, bringing
burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and grain
offerings, and incense, and bringing
sacrifices of praise, to the house of hwhy.
27 But if you will not hearken to me to
set-apart the Sabbath day, and not to
bear a burden, even entering in at the
gates of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) on the
Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the
gates thereof, and it shall devour the
palaces of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
and it shall not be quenched.
2 Many people were breaking the Sabbath and
today likewise many people who are church goers
do not keep the Sabbath from Friday sundown to
Saturday sundown and have adopted the day of
Satan which is sun-day and call that their Sabbath.
YHWH will not have this.
759
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
Chapter 18
1 The word which came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter's
house, and there I will cause you to hear
my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter's
house, and, behold, he wrought a work
on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay
was marred in the hand of the potter: so
he made it again another vessel, as
seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
6 O house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), can I
not do with you as this potter? Says
hwhy. Behold, as the clay is in the
potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 At what instant I shall speak
concerning a nation, and concerning a
kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down,
and to destroy it;
8 If that nation, against whom I have
pronounced, turn from their evil, I will
forego of the evil that I thought to do to
them.
9 And at what instant I shall speak
concerning a nation, and concerning a
kingdom, to build and to plant it;
10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey
not my voice, then I will forego of the
good, with which I said I would benefit
them.
11 Now therefore go to, speak to the
men of Yahudah (Judah), and to the
inhabitants of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
saying, Thus says hwhy; Behold, I intend
disaster against you, and devise a device
against you: repent now every one from
his evil way, and make your ways and
your doings good.
12 And they said, There is no hope: but
we will walk after our own devices, and
we will every one do the imagination of
his evil heart.
13 Therefore thus says hwhy; Ask now
among the nations, who has heard such
things: the virgin of Yah’sar’el (Israel) has
760
done a very horrible thing.
14 Will a man leave the snow of
Lebanon which comes from the rock of
the field? Or shall the cold flowing waters
that come from another place be
forsaken?
15 Because my people has forgotten
me, they have burned incense to
worthless idols, and they have caused
them to stumble in their ways from the
ancient paths, to walk in paths, not
smooth and level;
16 To make their land desolate, and a
perpetual hissing; every one that passes
thereby shall be astonished, and shake
his head in derision.
17 I will scatter them as with an east
wind before the enemy; I will show them
the back, and not the face, in the day of
their calamity.
18 Then said they, Come, and let us
devise devices against Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah); for the Torah shall not perish
from the kohen (priest), nor counsel from
the wise, nor the word from the prophet.
Come, and let us smite him with the
tongue, and let us not give heed to any of
his words.
19 Give heed to me, O hwhy, and
hearken to the voice of them that contend
with me.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good?
For they have dug a pit for my soul.
Remember that I stood before you to
speak good for them, and to turn away
your wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to
the famine, and pour out their blood by
the force of the sword; and let their wives
be bereaved of their children, and be
widows; and let their men be put to death;
let their young men be slain by the sword
in battle.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses,
when you shall bring a band of raiders
suddenly upon them: for they have dug a
pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
23 Yet, hwhy, you know all their
counsel against me to slay me: forgive
not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
from your sight, but let them be
overthrown before you; deal thus with
them in the time of your anger.
Chapter 19
1 Thus says hwhy, Go and get a
potter's earthen bottle, and take of the
leaders of the people, and of the leaders
of the kohenim (priests);
2 And go forth to the valley of the son of
Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east
gate, and proclaim there the words that I
shall tell you,
3 And say, Hear the word of hwhy, O
kings of Yahudah (Judah), and
inhabitants of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem);
Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); Behold, I will bring
disaster upon this place, which
whosoever hears, his ears shall tingle.
4 Because they have forsaken me, and
have defiled this place, and have burned
incense in it to elohim, whom neither they
nor their ahvot (fathers) have known, nor
the kings of Yahudah (Judah), and have
filled this place with the blood of
innocents; 1 houses upon whose roofs they have
5 They have built also the high places of
Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt
offerings to Baal, which I commanded
not, nor spoke it, neither came it into my
mind:
6 Therefore, behold, the days come,
says hwhy, that this place shall no more
be called Tophet, nor The valley of the
son of Hinnom, but The valley of
slaughter.
7 And I will make void the counsel of
Yahudah (Judah) and Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) in this place; and I will cause
them to fall by the sword before their
enemies, and by the hands of them that
seek their lives: and their carcasses will I
give to be food for the fowls of the
shamayim (heavens), and for the beasts
of the earth.
1 By sacrificing children.
761
8 And I will make this city desolate, and
a hissing; all that pass by it shall be
horrified and hiss with scorn because of
all the plagues thereof.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh
of their sons and the flesh of their
daughters, and they shall eat everyone
the flesh of his friend in the siege and
distress, wherewith their enemies, and
they that seek their lives, shall distress
them.
10 Then shall you break the jar in the
sight of the men that go with you,
11 And shall say to them, Thus says
hwhy of hosts; Even so will I break this
people and this city, as one breaks a
potter's vessel that cannot be made
whole again: and they shall bury them in
Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
12 Thus will I do to this place, says
hwhy, and to the inhabitants thereof, and
even make this city as Tophet:
13 And the houses of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and the houses of the kings
of Yahudah (Judah), shall be defiled as
the place of Tophet, because of all the
burned incense to all the armies of
shamayim (heavens), and have poured
out drink offerings to other mighty ones.
14 Then came Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
from Tophet, where hwhy had sent him to
prophesy; and he stood in the court of
hwhy's house; and said to all the people,
15 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Behold, I will bring
upon this city and upon all her towns all
the evil that I have pronounced against it,
because they have hardened their necks,
that they might not hear my words.
Chapter 20
1 Now Pashhur the son of Immer the
kohen (priest), who was also chief
governor in the Temple of hwhy, heard
that Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) prophesied
these things.
2 Then Pashhur smote Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) the prophet, and put him in
the stocks that were in the high gate of
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
Benyamin (Benjamin), which was by the
Temple of hwhy.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Pashhur brought forth Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) out of the stocks. Then said
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) to him, hwhy has
not called your name Pashhur, but
Magor-missabib.
4 For thus says hwhy, Behold, I will
make you a terror to yourself, and to all
your friends: and they shall fall by the
sword of their enemies, and your eyes
shall behold it: and I will give all Yahudah
(Judah) into the hand of the king of
Babylon, and he shall carry them captive
into Babylon, and shall slay them with the
sword.
5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength
of this city, and all the labours thereof,
and all the precious things thereof, and all
the treasures of the kings of Yahudah
(Judah) will I give into the hand of their
enemies, which shall spoil them, and take
them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 And you, Pashhur, and all that dwell in
your house shall go into captivity: and
you shall come to Babylon, and there you
shall die, and shall be buried there, you,
and all your friends, to whom you have
prophesied lies.
7 O hwhy, you have deceived me, and I
was deceived: you are stronger than I,
and have prevailed: I am in derision daily,
every one mocks me.
8 For since I spoke, I cried out, I cried
violence and spoil; because the word of
hwhy was made a reproach to me, and a
derision, daily.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of
him, nor speak any more in his name. But
his word was in my heart as a burning fire
shut up in my bones, and I was weary
with forbearing, and I could not stay.
10 For I heard the whisperings of many
against me, those who would cause me
hurt on every side. They say, say
something, so you can slip up, and we
will report it against you. All my so called
friends watched for my downfall, saying,
let’s entrap him to say something, and we
762
shall prevail against him, and we shall
take our revenge on him.1
11 But hwhy is with me as a mighty
terrible one: therefore my persecutors
shall stumble, and they shall not prevail:
they shall be greatly ashamed; for they
shall not prosper: their everlasting
confusion shall never be forgotten.
12 But, O hwhy of hosts that tries the
righteous, and see the kidneys and the
heart, let me see your vengeance on
them: for to you have I opened my cause.
13 Sing to hwhy, praise you hwhy: for
he has delivered the soul of the poor from
the hand of evildoers.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was
born: let not the day wherein my mother
bare me be blessed.
15 Cursed be the man who brought
tidings to my father, saying, A baby boy is
born to you; making him very glad.
16 And let that man be as the cities
which hwhy overthrew, and regretted not:
and let him hear the cry in the morning,
and the shouting at noon;
17 Because he did not kill me in my
mother’s womb; or that my mother’s
womb might have become my grave
forever.
18 Therefore I came forth out of the
womb, all I see is trouble and grief, and I
spend my days in shame?
Chapter 21
1 The word which came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, when king
Zidqi’yah sent to him Pashhur the son of
Malki’yah, and Tsephan’yah the son of
Maase’yah the kohen (priest), saying,
2 Enquire, I pray you, of hwhy for us; for
1 Jeremiah’s friends were not true friends, they
were looking for his downfall. Be careful that you
do not have such friends because many are like
this today in pretense of friendship but only to
bring you to the ground for their own fleshly gain.
This happens to good meaningful believers.
Yahushua was also looked upon to bring him down
by some of his so called friends.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon makes
war against us; if so be that hwhy will
deal with us according to all his wondrous
works, that he may go up from us.
3 Then said Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) to
them, Thus shall you say to Zidqi’yah:
4 Thus says hwhy Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); Behold, I will turn back the
weapons of war that are in your hands,
wherewith you fight against the king of
Babylon, and against the Chaldeans,
which besiege you without the walls, and
I will assemble them into the midst of this
city.
5 And I myself will fight against you with
an outstretched hand and with a strong
arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in
great wrath.
6 And I will smite the inhabitants of this
city, both man and beast: they shall die of
a great pestilence.
7 And afterward, says hwhy, I will
deliver Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah
(Judah), and his servants, and the
people, and such as are left in this city
from the pestilence, from the sword, and
from the famine, into the hand of
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon, and into
the hand of their enemies, and into the
hand of those that seek their life: and he
shall smite them with the edge of the
sword; he shall not spare them, neither
have pity, nor have mercy.
8 And to this people you shall say, Thus
says hwhy; Behold, I set before you the
way of life,1 and the way of death.2
9 He that abides in this city shall die by
the sword, and by the famine, and by the
pestilence: but he that goes out, and falls
to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he
shall live, and he shall escape with his
life.
10 For I have set my face against this
city for disaster, and not for good, says
hwhy: it shall be given into the hand of

2 Non-Torah keeping.
763
the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it
with fire.
11 And regarding the house of the king
of Yahudah (Judah), say, Hear the word
of hwhy;
12 O the house of Dawud (David), thus
says hwhy; Execute right-ruling in the
morning, and deliver him that is spoiled
out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my
fury go out like fire, and burn that none
can quench it, because of the evil of your
doings.
13 Behold, I am against you, O
inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the
plain, says hwhy; which say, Who shall
come down against us? Or who shall
enter into our habitations?
14 But I will punish you according to
your deeds, says hwhy: and I will kindle a
fire in the forest thereof, and it shall
devour all things round about it.
Chapter 22
1 Thus says hwhy; Go down to the
house of the king of Yahudah (Judah),
and speak there this word,
2 And say, Hear the word of hwhy, O
king of Yahudah (Judah), that sits upon
the throne of Dawud (David), you, and
your servants, and your people that enter
in by these gates:
3 Thus says hwhy; Execute your right-
ruling and righteousness, and deliver the
spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor:
and do no wrong, do no violence to the
foreigner, the fatherless, nor the widow,
neither shed innocent blood in this place.
4 For if you do this thing indeed, then
shall there enter in by the gates of this
house kings sitting upon the throne of
Dawud (David), riding in chariots and on
horses, he, and his servants, and his
people.
5 But if you will not hear these words, I
swear by myself, says hwhy that this
house shall become a desolation.
6 For thus says hwhy to the king's
house of Yahudah (Judah); You are
Gilead to me, and the head of Lebanon:
yet surely I will make you a wilderness,
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
and cities which are not inhabited.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against
you, every one with his weapons: and
they shall cut down your choice cedars,
and cast them into the fire.
8 And many nations shall pass by this
city, and they shall say every man to his
neighbour, why has hwhy done such a
thing to this great city?
9 Then they shall answer, Because they
have forsaken the covenant of hwhy their
Elohim, and worshipped other elohim,
and served them.
10 Do not weep for the dead, neither
bemoan him: but weep bitterly for him
that goes away: for he shall return no
more, nor see his native country.
11 For thus says hwhy touching
Shallum the son of Yoshiyahu (Josiah)
king of Yahudah (Judah), which reigned
instead of Yoshiyahu (Josiah) his father,
which went forth out of this place; He
shall not return there any more:
12 But he shall die in the place where
they have led him captive, and shall see
this land no more.
13 Woe to him that builds his house by
unrighteousness, and his rooms by
wrong; that uses his neighbour's service
without wages, and gives him not for his
work;
14 That says, I will build myself a wide
house and large rooms, and fashions out
windows; and panels it with cedar, and
painted with red.
15 Shall you reign, because you closed
yourself in cedar? Did not your father eat
and drink, and do right-ruling and justice,
and then it was well with him?
16 He judged the cause of the poor and
needy; then it was well with him: was not
this to know me?1 Says hwhy.
17 But your eyes and your heart are
looking for ways and means to gain
wealth dishonestly, and to shed innocent

fellowship with YHWH.
764
blood, and for committing fraud, and
oppression.
18 Therefore thus says hwhy
concerning Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the
son of Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of
Yahudah (Judah); They shall not lament
for him, saying, Ah my brother! Or, Ah
sister! They shall not lament for him,
saying, Ah master! or, Ah his glory!
19 He shall be buried with the burial of a
donkey, drawn and cast forth beyond the
gates of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift
up your voice in Bashan, and cry from the
passages: for all your lovers are
destroyed.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity; but
you said, I will not hear. This has been
your manner from your youth, that you
obeyed not my voice.
22 The wind shall eat up all your
shepherds, and your lovers shall go into
captivity: surely then shall you be
ashamed and confounded for all your
wickedness.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon,2 that make
your nest in the cedars, how gracious
shall you be when terror comes upon
you, the pain as of a woman in child-birth!
24 As I live, says hwhy, though
Konyahu the son of Yahuyakim
(Jehoiakim) king of Yahudah (Judah)
were the signet upon my right hand, yet
would I pluck you there;
25 And I will give you into the hand of
them that seek your life, and into the
hand of them whose face you fear, even
into the hand of Nebukadretzar king of
Babylon, and into the hand of the
Chaldeans.
26 And I will cast you out, and your
mother that bare you, into another

stage very beautiful and here Jerusalem is meant

country, where you were not born; and
there shall you die.
27 But to the land whereunto they
desire to return, there shall they not
return.
28 Is this man Konyahu a despised
broken idol? Is he a vessel wherein is no
pleasure? Therefore are they cast out, he
and his seed, and are cast into a land
which they know not?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word
of hwhy.
30 Thus says hwhy, Write this man
childless, a man that shall not prosper in
his days: for no man of his seed shall
prosper, sitting upon the throne of Dawud
(David), and ruling any more in Yahudah
(Judah).1
Chapter 23
1 Woe be to the shepherds that destroy
and scatter the sheep of my pasture!
says hwhy.
2 Therefore thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) against the shepherds
that feed my people; You have scattered
my flock, and driven them away, and
have not visited them: behold, I will visit
upon you the evil of your doings, says
hwhy.2
3 And I will gather the remnant of my
flock out of all countries where I have
driven them, and will bring them again to
their folds; and they shall be fruitful and
increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them
which shall feed them:3 and they shall

witnesses of the book of Revelation.
2 This is speaking of present and not past alone,

knowledge of scriptures, then YHWH will deal with
them in judgment at His appointed time.
3 YHWH will establish Torah based teachers in our
time and until the final return.
765
fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither
shall they be lacking, says hwhy.
5 Behold, the days come, says hwhy,
that I will raise to Dawud (David) a
righteous Branch,4 and a King shall reign
and prosper, and shall execute right-
ruling and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Yahudah (Judah) shall be
saved, and Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall dwell
safely: and this is his name whereby he
shall be called, hwhy Tzedkenu (Our
Righteousness).
7 Therefore, behold, the days come,
says hwhy, that they shall no more say,
hwhy lives, which brought up the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt);
8 But, hwhy lives, which brought up and
which led the seed of the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of the north
country, and from all countries where I
had driven them; and they shall dwell in
their own land.5
9 My heart within me is broken because
of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am
like a drunken man, and like a man whom
wine has overcome, because of hwhy,
and because of the words of his set-
apartness.
10 For the land is full of adulterers; for
because of swearing the land mourns;
the pleasant places of the wilderness are
dried up, and their course is evil, and
their force is not right.
11 For both prophet and kohen (priest)
are profane; yes, in my house have I
found their wickedness, says hwhy.
12 Therefore their way shall be to them
as slippery ways in the darkness: they
shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I
will bring evil upon them, even the year of
their visitation, says hwhy.
13 And I have seen the prophets of
Shomeron (Samaria) doing disgusting
4 King Messiah Yahushua.
5 The return of the Ten tribes.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
things; they prophesied in Baal,1
and
caused my people Yah’sar’el (Israel) to
err.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) a horrible
thing: they commit adultery, and walk in
lies: they strengthen also the hands of
evildoers, that none does return from his
wickedness: they are all of them to me as
Sedom (Sodom), and the inhabitants
thereof as Amorah (Gomorrah).
15 Therefore thus says hwhy of hosts
concerning the prophets; Behold, I will
feed them with bitter food of suffering,
and make them drink poisoned mayim
(water) of judgment: because of the
prophets of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) all
the land has been defiled.
16 Thus says hwhy of hosts, Hearken
not to the words of the prophets that
prophesy to you: they give you false
hopes: they speak a vision of their own
heart, and not out of the mouth of hwhy.
17 They say still to them that despise
me, hwhy has said, You shall have
shalom (peace); and they say to every
one that walks after the imagination of his
own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18 For who has stood in the counsel of
hwhy, and has perceived and heard his
word? Who has marked his word, and
heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of hwhy is gone
forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it
shall fall grievously upon the head of the
wicked.
20 The anger of hwhy shall not return,
until he have executed, and till he have
performed the thoughts of his heart: in
the latter days you shall understand it
perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet
1 The present Pastors do the same calling on the
name of the ‘Lord’ and causing the returning exiles
to sin by teaching them unclean things such as
eating swine, shellfish, keeping unclean days like
Christmas and Sunday.
they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet
they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel,
and had caused my people to hear my
words, then they should have turned
them from their evil way, and from the evil
of their doings.
23 Do you people think that I am some
local elohim,2 says hwhy, and not the
transcendent Universal One?
24 Can any hide himself in secret
places that I shall not see him? Says
hwhy. Do I not fill shamayim (heavens)
and the earth, Says hwhy?
25 I have heard what the prophets said,
that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I
have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of
the prophets that prophesy lies? Yes,
they are prophets of the deceit of their
own heart;3
27 Which think to cause my people to
forget my name4 by their dreams which
they tell every man to his neighbour, as
their ahvot (fathers) have forgotten my
name for Baal.5
28 The prophet that has a dream, let
him tell a dream; and he that has my
word, let him speak my word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat? Says
hwhy.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? Says
hwhy; and like a hammer that breaks the
rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the
prophets, says hwhy, that steal my words
2 All people had local elohim that is what it means.
One local elohim would not know anything about
another region. Hence YHWH challenges on this
notion that He is a Universal Elohim and not some
local deity stuck to one region.
3 Many such prophets of profit exist in
Christendom who prophesies lies.
4 The people in the churches do not even know
the name YHWH.
5 All Christendom also calls YHWH Baal (Lord) and
not His rightful name.
766
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
everyone from his neighbour.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets,
says hwhy, that use their tongues, and
say, He says.
32 Behold, I am against them that
prophesy false dreams, says hwhy, and
do tell them, and cause my people to err
by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I
sent them not, nor commanded them:
therefore they shall not profit this people
at all, says hwhy.
33 And when this people, or the
prophet, or a kohen (priest), shall ask
you, saying, What is the burden of hwhy?
You shall then say to them, What
burden? I will even forsake you, says
hwhy.
34 And as for the prophet, and the
kohen (priest), and the people that shall
say, The burden of hwhy, I will even
punish that man and his house.
35 Thus shall you say every one to his
neighbour, and every one to his brother,
What has hwhy answered? And, What
has hwhy spoken?
36 And the burden of hwhy shall you
mention no more: for every man's word
shall be his burden; for you have
perverted the words of the living Elohim,
of hwhy of hosts our Elohim.
37 Thus shall you say to the prophet,
What has hwhy answered you? And,
What has hwhy spoken?
38 But since you say, The burden of
hwhy; therefore thus says hwhy;
Because you say this word, The burden
of hwhy, and I have sent to you, saying,
You shall not say, The burden of hwhy;
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will
utterly forget you, and I will forsake you,
and the city that I gave you and your
ahvot (fathers), and cast you out of my
presence:
40 And I will bring an everlasting
reproach upon you, and a perpetual
shame, which shall not be forgotten.
767
Chapter 24
1 hwhy showed me, and, behold, two
baskets of figs were set before the temple
of hwhy, after that Nebukadretzar king of
Babylon had carried away captive
Yekon’yah (Jeconiah) the son of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) king of Yahudah
(Judah), and the princes of Yahudah
(Judah), with the craftsmen and metal
workers, from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
and had brought them to Babylon.
2 One basket had very good figs, even
like the figs that are first ripe: and the
other basket had very bad looking figs,
which could not be eaten, they were so
bad.
3 Then said hwhy to me, What do you
see, Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)? And I said,
Figs; the good figs, very good; and the
bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they
are so bad.
4 Again the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
5 Thus says hwhy, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); Like these good figs,
so will I acknowledge them that are
carried away captive of Yahudah (Judah),
whom I have sent out of this place into
the land of the Chaldeans for their good.1
6 For I will set my eyes upon them for
good, and I will bring them again to this
land: and I will build them, and not pull
them down; and I will plant them, and not
pluck them up.
7 And I will give them a heart to know
me, that I am hwhy: and they shall be my
people, and I will be their Elohim: for they
shall return to me with their whole heart.
8 And as the bad figs, which cannot be
eaten, they are so bad; surely thus says
hwhy, So will I give Zidqi’yah the king of
Yahudah (Judah), and his princes, and
the residue of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
that remain in this land, and them that

they were Torah keepers and will be raised to
everlasting life.

dwell in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt):
9 And I will deliver them to be removed
into all the kingdoms of the earth for their
hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a
taunt and a curse, in all places where I
shall drive them.
10 And I will bring war, starvation, and
disease, among them, till they be
consumed from off the land that I gave to
them and to their ahvot (fathers).
Chapter 25
1 The word that came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) concerning all the people of
Yahudah (Judah) in the fourth year of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah), that was the first year of
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon;
2 The which Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the
prophet spoke to all the people of
Yahudah (Judah), and to all the
inhabitants of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
saying,
3 For the last twenty three years to the
thirteenth year of Yoshiyahu (Josiah) the
son of Amon king of Yahudah (Judah),
even to this day, the word of hwhy has
come to me, and I have spoken to you,
rising early and speaking; but you have
not hearkened.
4 And hwhy has sent to you all his
servants the prophets, rising early and
sending them; but you have not
hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
5 They said, Turn you again now every
one from his evil way, and from the evil of
your doings, and dwell in the land that
hwhy has given to you and to your ahvot
(fathers) forever and ever:
6 And go not after other mighty ones to
serve them, and to worship them, and
provoke me not to anger with the idols
made by your hands; and I will do you no
hurt.
7 Yet you have not hearkened to me,
says hwhy; that you might provoke me to
anger with the idols you crafted with your
hands to your own hurt.
8 Therefore thus says hwhy of hosts;
768
Because you have not heard my words,
9 Behold, I will send and take all the
families of the north, says hwhy, and
Nebukadretzar the king of Babylon, my
servant, and will bring them against this
land, and against the inhabitants thereof,
and against all these nations round
about, and will utterly destroy them, and
make them an astonishment, and a
hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Moreover I will take from them the
voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness,
the voice of the bridegroom, and the
voice of the bride, the sound of the
millstones, and the light of the candle.
11 And this whole land shall be a
desolation, and an astonishment; and
these nations shall serve the king of
Babylon seventy years.
12 And it shall come to pass, when
seventy years are accomplished, that I
will punish the king of Babylon, and that
nation, says hwhy, for their iniquity, and
the land of the Chaldeans, and will make
it perpetual desolations.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my
words which I have pronounced against
it, even all that is written in this scroll,
which Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) has
prophesied against all the nations.
14 For many nations and great kings
shall serve themselves of them also: and
I will recompense them according to their
deeds, and according to the works of
their own hands.
15 For thus says hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to me; Take the wine
cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all
the nations, to whom I send you, to drink
it.
16 And they shall drink, and be moved,
and be mad, because of the sword that I
will send among them.
17 Then I took the cup from hwhy's
hand, and made all the nations to drink,
to whom hwhy had sent me:
18 To, Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
the cities of Yahudah (Judah), and the
kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to
make them desolate, an astonishment, a

king of Sheshach” (Jer 25:26 & 51:41). But if you
look up Sheshach in a Bible atlas or dictionary, you
will not find any historical reference to it as an
actual place. So what does it mean?
Sheshach is (Sheen, Sheen, Kaf sofit) code name
for Babylon (Beth, Beth, Lamed) in ABTASH cipher
secret method, as Beth corresponds with Sheen
and Lamed corresponds with Kaf. The ATBASH
cipher can be confirmed in Jer 51:41 where both
words are used. This was one Jewish method used
as code word to encrypt text.

27 Therefore you shall say to them,
Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); Drink, and be drunk,
and vomit, and fall, and rise no more,
because of the sword which I will send
among you.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take
the cup at your hand to drink, then shall
you say to them, Thus says hwhy of
hosts; You shall certainly drink.
29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the
city which is called by my name, and
should you be utterly unpunished? You
shall not be unpunished: for I will call for
a sword upon all the inhabitants of the
these words, and say to them, hwhy shall
roar from on high, and utter his voice
from his Set-Apart habitation; he shall
mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall
give a shout, as they that tread the
grapes, against all the inhabitants of the
earth.
31 A noise shall come even to the ends
of the earth; for hwhy has a controversy
with the nations, he will plead with all
flesh; he will give them that are wicked to
the sword, says hwhy.
32 Thus says hwhy of hosts, Behold,
disaster shall go forth from nation to
nation, and a great whirlwind4 shall be
raised up from the coasts of the earth.
33 And the slain of hwhy shall be at that
day from one end of the earth even to the
other end of the earth: they shall not be
lamented, neither gathered, nor buried;
they shall be dung upon the ground.
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry; and
wallow yourselves in the ashes, you
principal of the flock: for the days of your
slaughter and of your dispersions are
accomplished; and you shall fall like a
4 Military powers refer to the United States of
America and the United Kingdom known as Great
Britain. YHWH has raised these nations for
judgment onto the nations mentioned previously.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
pleasant vessel.
35 And the shepherds shall have no
way to flee, nor the principal of the flock
to escape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds,
and an howling of the principal of the
flock, shall be heard: for hwhy has
spoiled their pasture.
37 And the peaceable habitations are
cut down because of the fierce anger of
hwhy.
38 Like a lion, He has left his hiding
place: for their land is desolate because
of the fierceness of the oppressor, and
because of his fierce anger.
Chapter 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah) came this word from hwhy,
saying,
2 Thus says hwhy; Stand in the court of
hwhy's house, and speak to all the cities
of Yahudah (Judah), which come to
worship in the hwhy's house, all the
words that I command you to speak to
them; diminish not a word:
3 If so be they will hearken, and turn
every man from his evil way, that I may
feel sorry for the disaster, which I
purpose to do to them because of the evil
of their doings.
4 And you shall say to them, Thus says
hwhy; If you will not hearken to me, to
walk in my Torah, which I have set before
you,
5 To hearken to the words of my
servants the prophets, whom I sent to
you, both rising up early, and sending
them, but you have not hearkened;
6 Then will I make this house like
Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to
all the nations of the earth.
7 So the kohenim (priests) and the
prophets and all the people heard
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) speaking these
words in the Temple of hwhy.
8 Now it came to pass, when Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) had made an end of speaking
770
all that hwhy had commanded him to
speak to all the people that the kohenim
(priests) and the prophets and all the
people took him, saying, You shall surely
die.
9 Why have you prophesied in the name
of hwhy, saying, This Temple shall be
like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate
without an inhabitant? And all the people
were gathered against Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) in the house of hwhy.
10 When the princes of Yahudah
(Judah) heard these things, then they
came up from the king's house to the
Temple of hwhy, and sat down in the
entry of the new gate of hwhy's Temple.
11 Then spoke the kohenim (priests)
and the prophets to the princes and to all
the people, saying, This man is worthy to
die; for he has prophesied against this
city, as you have heard with your ears.
12 Then spoke Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) to
all the princes and to all the people,
saying, hwhy sent me to prophesy
against this Temple and against this city
all the words that you have heard.
13 Therefore now amend your ways and
your doings, and obey the voice of hwhy
your Elohim; and hwhy will forgo the
disaster that he has pronounced against
you.
14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand:
do with me as seems good and right to
you.
15 But know this for certain, that if you
put me to death, you shall surely bring
innocent blood upon yourselves, and
upon this city, and upon the inhabitants
thereof: for of a truth hwhy has sent me
to you to speak all these words in your
ears.
16 Then said the princes and all the
people to the kohenim (priests) and to the
prophets; This man is not worthy to die:
for he has spoken to us in the name of
hwhy our Elohim.
17 Then rose up certain of the elders of
the land, and spoke to all the assembly of
the people, saying,
18 Mikah (Micah) the Moresheth
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
prophesied in the days of Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) king of Yahudah (Judah), and
spoke to all the people of Yahudah
(Judah), saying, Thus says hwhy of
hosts; Tsiyon shall be plowed like a field,
and Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) shall
become heaps, and the mountain of the
house as the high places of a forest.
19 Did Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah) king of
Yahudah (Judah) and all Yahudah
(Judah) put him at all to death? Did he
not fear hwhy, and besought hwhy, and
did not hwhy forgo the disaster which he
had pronounced against them? Thus
might we procure great evil against our
souls.
20 And there was also a man that
prophesied in the name of hwhy, Uri’yah
the son of Shema’yah of Kiryath-Yearim,
who prophesied against this city and
against this land according to all the
words of Yirme’yah (Jeremiah):
21 And when Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim)
the king, with all his mighty men, and all
the princes, heard his words, the king
sought to put him to death: but when
Uri’yah heard it, he was afraid, and fled,
and went into Mitzrayim (Egypt);
22 And Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the king
sent men into Mitzrayim (Egypt), namely,
Elnathan the son of Akbor, and certain
men with him into Mitzrayim (Egypt).
23 And they fetched forth Uri’yah out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and brought him to
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the king; who
slew him with the sword, and cast his
dead body into the graves of the common
people.
24 Nevertheless the hand of Akhikam
the son of Shaphan was with Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah), that they should not give him
into the hand of the people to put him to
death.
Chapter 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah) came this word to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, saying,
771
2 Thus says hwhy to me; Make your
bonds and yokes, and put them upon
your neck,
3 And send them to the king of Edom,
and to the king of Moab, and to the king
of the Ammonites, and to the king of
Tyrus, and to the king of Sidon, by the
hand of the messengers which come to
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to Zidqi’yah
king of Yahudah (Judah);
4 And command them to say to their
masters, Thus says hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Thus shall
you say to your masters;
5 I have made the earth, the man and
the beast that are upon the ground, by
my great power and by my outstretched
arm, and have given it to which it seemed
right to me.
6 And now have I given all these lands
into the hand of Nebukadnetzar the king
of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of
the field have I given him also to serve
him.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and
his son, and his son's son, until the very
time of his land come: and then many
nations and great kings shall serve
themselves of him.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the
nation and kingdom which will not serve
Nebukadnetzar the king of Babylon, and
that will not put their neck under the yoke
of the king of Babylon, that nation will I
punish, says hwhy, with the sword, and
with the famine, and with the pestilence,
until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Therefore do not listen to your
prophets, nor to those who claim to tell
the future by divination, nor to dreamers,
or to those who consult the dead, nor to
those practicing magic, nor to your
sorcerers, which speak to you, saying,
You shall not serve the king of Babylon:
10 For they prophesy a lie to you, to
remove you far from your land; and that I
should drive you out, and you should
perish.
11 But the nations that bring their neck
under the yoke of the king of Babylon,
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
and serve him, those will I let remain still
in their own land, says hwhy; and they
shall till it, and dwell therein.
12 I spoke also to Zidqi’yah king of
Yahudah (Judah) according to all these
words, saying, Bring your necks under
the yoke of the king of Babylon, and
serve him and his people, and live.
13 Why will you die, you and your
people, by the sword, by the famine, and
by the pestilence, as hwhy has spoken
against the nation that will not serve the
king of Babylon?
14 Therefore hearken not to the words
of the prophets that speak to you, saying,
You shall not serve the king of Babylon:
for they prophesy a lie to you.
15 For I have not sent them, says hwhy,
yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I
might drive you out, and that you might
perish, you, and the prophets that
prophesy to you.
16 Also I spoke to the kohenim (priests)
and to all this people, saying, Thus says
hwhy; Hearken not to the words of your
prophets that prophesy to you, saying,
Behold, the vessels of hwhy's Temple 1 all the people, saying,
shall now shortly be brought again from
Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
17 Hearken not to them; serve the king
of Babylon, and live: Why should this city
be laid waste?
18 But if they be prophets, and if the
word of hwhy be with them, let them now
make intercession to hwhy of hosts, that
the vessels which are left in the Temple
of hwhy, and in the house of the king of
Yahudah (Judah), and at Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), go not to Babylon.
19 For thus says hwhy of hosts
concerning the pillars, and concerning the
large bronze water basin called the sea,
and concerning the bases, and
concerning the residue of the vessels that
remain in this city,
20 Which Nebukadnetzar king of
1 House but referring to the Temple.
772
Babylon took not, when he carried away
captive Yekon’yah (Jeconiah) the son of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) king of Yahudah
(Judah) from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
to Babylon, and all the nobles of Yahudah
(Judah) and Yerushalayim (Jerusalem);
21 Yes, thus says hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), concerning
the vessels that remain in the Temple of
hwhy, and in the house of the king of
Yahudah (Judah) and of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem);
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and
there shall they be until the day that I visit
them, says hwhy; then will I bring them
up, and restore them to this place.
Chapter 28
1 And it came to pass the same year, in
the beginning of the reign of Zidqi’yah
king of Yahudah (Judah), in the fourth
year, and in the fifth month, that
Chananyahu (Hananiah) the son of Azur
the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spoke
to me in the Temple of hwhy, in the
presence of the kohenim (priests) and of
2 Thus speaks hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, I
have broken the yoke of the king of
Babylon.
3 Within two full years will I bring again
into this place all the vessels of hwhy's
Temple, that Nebukadnetzar king of
Babylon took away from this place, and
carried them to Babylon:
4 And I will bring again to this place
Yekon’yah (Jeconiah) the son of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) king of Yahudah
(Judah), with all the captives of Yahudah
(Judah), that went into Babylon, says
hwhy: for I will break the yoke of the king
of Babylon.
5 Then the prophet Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) said to the prophet
Chananyahu (Hananiah) in the presence
of the kohenim (priests), and in the
presence of all the people that stood in
the Temple of hwhy,
6 Even the prophet Yirme’yah
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
(Jeremiah) said, Amein: hwhy do so:
hwhy perform your words which you have
prophesied, to bring again the vessels of
hwhy's Temple, and all that is carried
away captive, from Babylon into this
place.
7 Nevertheless hear you now this word
that I speak in your ears, and in the ears
of all the people;
8 The prophets that have been before
me and before you of old prophesied both
against many countries, and against
great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and
of pestilence.
9 The prophet which prophesied of
shalom (peace), when the word of the
prophet shall come to pass, then shall the
prophet be known, that hwhy has truly
sent him.
10 Then Chananyahu (Hananiah) the
prophet took the yoke from off the
prophet Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)'s neck, and
broke it.
11 And Chananyahu (Hananiah) spoke
in the presence of all the people, saying,
Thus says hwhy; Even so will I break the
yoke of Nebukadnetzar king of Babylon
from the neck of all nations within the
space of two full years. And the prophet
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) went his way.
12 Then the word of hwhy came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet, after
that Chananyahu (Hananiah) the prophet
had broken the yoke from off the neck of
the prophet Yirme’yah (Jeremiah),
saying,
13 Go and tell Chananyahu (Hananiah),
saying, Thus says hwhy; You have
broken the yokes of wood; but you shall
make for them yokes of iron.
14 For thus says hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); I have put a
yoke of iron upon the neck of all these
nations, that they may serve
Nebukadnetzar king of Babylon; and they
shall serve him: and I have given him the
beasts of the field also.
15 Then said the prophet Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) to Chananyahu (Hananiah)
the prophet, Hear now, Chananyahu
773
(Hananiah); hwhy has not sent you; but
you make this people to trust in a lie.
16 Therefore thus says hwhy; Behold, I
will cast you from off the face of the earth:
this year you shall die, because you have
taught rebellion against hwhy.
17 So Chananyahu (Hananiah) the
prophet died the same year in the
seventh month.
Chapter 29
1 Now these are the words of the letter
that Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet
sent from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to
the residue of the elders which were
carried away captives, and to the
kohenim (priests), and to the prophets,
and to all the people whom
Nebukadnetzar had carried away captive
from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to
Babylon;
2 After that Yekon’yah (Jeconiah) the
king, and the queen, and the eunuchs,
the princes of Yahudah (Judah) and
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and the
craftsmen, and the metal workers, were
departed from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem);
3 By the hand of Elasah the son of
Shaphan, and Gemar’yah the son of
Khiliqiyahu (Hilkiah), (whom Zidqi’yah
king of Yahudah (Judah) sent to Babylon
to Nebukadnetzar king of Babylon)
saying,
4 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), to all that are
carried away captives, whom I have
caused to be carried away from
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to Babylon;
5 Build your houses, and dwell in them;
and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of
them;
6 Take you wives, and birth sons and
daughters; and take wives for your sons,
and give your daughters to husbands,
that they may bear sons and daughters;
that you may be increased there, and not
diminished.
7 And seek the shalom (peace) of the
city where I have caused you to be
carried away captives, and pray to hwhy
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
for it: for in the shalom (peace) thereof
shall you have shalom (peace).
8 For thus says hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Let not your
prophets and your diviners, that be in the
midst of you, deceive you, neither
hearken to your dreams which you cause
to have dreams.
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my
name: I have not sent them, says hwhy.
10 For thus says hwhy, That after
seventy years be accomplished at
Babylon I will visit you, and perform my
good word toward you, in causing you to
return to this place.
11 For I know the plans that I have for
you, says hwhy, plans of a future of
shalom (peace) and prosperity and not of
evil, to give you an expected reward.
12 Then shall you call upon me, and
you shall go and pray to me, and I will
hearken to you.
13 And you shall seek me, and find me,
when you shall search for me with all
your heart.
14 And I will make myself available to
you, says hwhy: and I will turn away your
captivity, and I will gather you from all the
nations, and from all the places where I
have driven you, says hwhy; and I will
bring you again into the place whence I
caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Because you have said, hwhy has
raised us up prophets in Babylon;
16 Know that thus says hwhy of the
king that sits upon the throne of Dawud
(David), and of all the people that dwells
in this city, and of your brethren that are
not gone forth with you into captivity;
17 Thus says hwhy of hosts; Behold, I
will send upon them the sword, the
famine, and the pestilence, and will make
them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten,
they are so evil.
18 And I will persecute them with the
sword, with the famine, and with the
pestilence, and will deliver them to be
removed to all the kingdoms of the earth,
to be a curse, and an astonishment, and
an hissing, and a reproach, among all the
774
nations where I have driven them:
19 Because they have not hearkened to
my words, says hwhy, which I sent to
them by my servants the prophets, rising
up early and sending them; but you would
not hear, says hwhy.
20 Hear therefore the word of hwhy, all
you of the captivity, whom I have sent
from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to
Babylon:
21 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), of Akhab the son of
Kola’yah, and of Zidqi’yah the son of
Maase’yah, which prophesy a lie to you in
my name; Behold, I will deliver them into
the hand of Nebukadretzar king of
Babylon; and he shall slay them before
your eyes;
22 And of them shall be taken up a
curse by all the captivity of Yahudah
(Judah) which are in Babylon, saying,
hwhy make you like Zidqi’yah and like
Akhab, whom the king of Babylon roasted
in the fire;
23 Because they have committed
villainy in Yah’sar’el (Israel), and have
committed adultery with their neighbours'
wives, and have spoken lying words in
my name, which I have not commanded
them; even I know, and am a witness,
says hwhy.
24 Thus shall you also speak to
Shema’yah the Nehelamite, saying,
25 Thus speaks hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying,
Because you have sent letters in your
name to all the people that are at
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and to
Tsephan’yah the son of Maase’yah the
kohen (priest), and to all the kohenim
(priests), saying,
26 hwhy has made you kohen (priest) in
the place of Yahuyada (Yahoiada) the
kohen (priest), that you should be officers
in the Temple of hwhy, for every man that
is mad, and makes himself a prophet,
that you should put him in prison, and in
stocks.
27 Now therefore why have you not
reproved Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) of
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
Anathoth, which makes himself a prophet
to you?
28 For therefore he sent to us in
Babylon, saying, This captivity is long:
build your houses, and dwell in them; and
plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29 And Tsephan’yah the kohen (priest)
read this letter in the ears of Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) the prophet.
30 Then came the word of hwhy to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), saying,
31 Send to all them of the captivity,
saying, Thus says hwhy concerning
Shema’yah the Nehelamite; Because that
Shema’yah has prophesied to you, and I
sent him not, and he caused you to trust
in a lie:
32 Therefore thus says hwhy; Behold, I
will punish Shema’yah the Nehelamite,
and his seed: he shall not have a man to
dwell among this people; neither shall he
behold the good that I will do for my
people, says hwhy; because he has
taught rebellion against hwhy.
Chapter 30
1 The word that came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, saying,
2 Thus speaks hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, Write all the
words that I have spoken to you in a
scroll.
3 For, lo, the days come, says hwhy,
that I will bring again the captivity of my
people Yah’sar’el (Israel) and Yahudah
(Judah), says hwhy: and I will cause
them to return to the land that I gave to
their ahvot (fathers), and they shall
possess it.
4 And these are the words that hwhy
spoke concerning Yah’sar’el (Israel) and
concerning Yahudah (Judah).
5 For thus says hwhy; We have heard a
voice of trembling, of fear, and not of
shalom (peace).
6 Ask you now, and see whether a man
does travail with child? Therefore do I see
every man with his hands on his loins, as
a woman in travail, and all faces are
775
turned into paleness?1
7 Alas! For that day is great, so that
none is like it: it is even the time of
Ya’acob (Jacob)'s trouble; but he shall be
saved out of it.2
8 For it shall come to pass in that day,
says hwhy of hosts that I will break his
yoke from off your neck, and will burst
your bonds, and strangers shall no more
serve themselves of him:
9 But they shall serve hwhy their
Elohim, and Dawud (David) their king,
whom I will raise up to them.3
10 Therefore fear not, O my servant
Ya’acob (Jacob), says hwhy; neither be
dismayed, O Yah’sar’el (Israel): for, lo, I
will save you from afar, and your seed
from the land of their captivity; and
Ya’acob (Jacob) shall return, and shall be
in rest, and be quiet, and none shall
make him afraid.
11 For I am with you, says hwhy, to
save you: though I make a full end of all
nations where I have scattered you, yet
will I not make a full end of you: but I will
correct you in measure, and will not leave
you altogether unpunished.
12 For thus says hwhy, Your bruise is
incurable, and your wound is grievous.
13 There is none to plead your cause
that you may be bound up: you have no
healing medicines.4
14 All your lovers have forgotten you;
they seek you not; for I have wounded
you with the wound of an enemy, with the
chastisement of a cruel one,5 for the
1 Sod (hidden) meaning of the holocaust in
Germany.
2 Israel was to be recreated out of this trouble in
1948.
3 King David will be literally resurrected to be king
as a co-regent under the subordination of Messiah.
4 No nation stood for the Jews from the nations
saying not to kill the Jews, or not to gas them!
5 Satan tried to destroy them completely but
failed.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
multitude of your iniquity; because your
sins were increased. 1 21 And their nobles shall be of
15 Why do you cry for your affliction?
Your sorrow is incurable for the multitude
of your iniquity: because your sins were
increased, I have done these things to
you.2
16 Therefore all they that devour you
shall be devoured; and all your
adversaries, every one of them, shall go
into captivity;3 and they that spoil you
shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon
you will I give for a prey.4
17 For I will restore health to you, and I
will heal you of your wounds, says hwhy;
because they called you an Outcast,
saying, This is Tsiyon, whom no man
seeks after.5
18 Thus says hwhy; Behold, I will bring
again the captivity of Ya’acob (Jacob)'s
tents, and have mercy on his dwelling
places; and the city shall be built upon
her own heap, and the palace shall
remain after the manner thereof.
19 And out of them shall proceed
thanksgiving and the voice of them that
make merry: and I will multiply them, and
they shall not be few; I will also glorify
them, and they shall not be small.6
20 Their children also shall be as
aforetime, and their congregation shall be
established before me, and I will punish
1 YHWH allowed this in mercy because these are
his children that He will raise in the Millennium.
2 YHWH took His protection off from Judah and
allowed the enemy to have their day because
Judah was profaning the name of YHWH and many
were living in sin.
3 The German Nazis who did this are still running
to this day and have been devoured.
4 Judah (Israel) is now hunting these evil men
down just as YHWH said they will.
5Hitler did say I am doing the LORD’s work. He
was an evil man.
6 Return of the tribes to Israel.
776
all that oppress them.7
themselves, and their governor shall
proceed from the midst of them; and I will
cause him to draw near, and he shall
approach to me: for who is this that
engaged his heart to approach to me?
says hwhy.
22 And you shall be my people, and I
will be your Elohim.8
23 Behold, the whirlwind of hwhy goes
forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind:9 it
shall fall with pain upon the head of the
wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the hwhy shall
not return, until he have done it, and until
he have performed the intents of his
heart: in the latter days you shall consider
it.
Chapter 31
1 At the same time, says hwhy, will I be
the Elohim of all the families of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and they shall be my people.
2 Thus says hwhy, The people which
were left of the sword found favour in the
wilderness; even Yah’sar’el (Israel), when
I went to cause him to rest.
3 hwhy has appeared of old to me,
saying, Yes, I have loved you with an
everlasting love: therefore with loving-
kindness have I drawn you.10
4 Again I will rebuild you, and you shall
be rebuilt, O virgin of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
you shall again be adorned with your
tambourines, and shall go forth in the
dances of them that make merry.
5 You shall yet plant vines upon the
mountains of Shomeron (Samaria): the
planters shall plant, and shall eat them as

6 For there shall be a day, that the
1
watchmen upon the Mount Ephraim shall
cry, Arise you, and let us go up to Tsiyon
to hwhy our Elohim.
7 For thus says hwhy; Sing with
gladness for Ya’acob (Jacob), and shout
among the chief of the nations: proclaim
you, praise you, and say, O hwhy, save
your people, the remnant of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
8 Behold, I will bring them from the
north country, and gather them from the
coasts of the earth, and with them the
blind and the lame, the woman with child
and her that travails with child together: a
great company shall return there.
9 They shall come with weeping, and
with supplications will I lead them: I will
cause them to walk by the rivers of
waters in a straight way, wherein they
shall not stumble: for I am a father to
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and Ephraim is my
firstborn.2
10 Hear the word of hwhy, O you
nations, and declare it in the isles afar off,
and say, He that scattered Yah’sar’el
(Israel) will gather him, and keep him, as
a shepherd does his flock.
11 For hwhy has redeemed3 Ya’acob
(Jacob), and ransomed him from the
hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Therefore they shall come and sing
in the height of Tsiyon, and shall flow
together to the goodness of hwhy, for
wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for
the young of the flock and of the herd:
1 The word for ‘watchmen’ is notzarim, which
means branches, or followers of the Messiah

begin to realize who they really serve and who or
what they are such as not a church but grafted
into Israel, the ten tribes.

and their soul shall be as a watered
garden; and they shall not sorrow any
more at all.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the
dance, both young men and old together:
for I will turn their mourning into joy, and
will comfort them, and make them rejoice
from their sorrow.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the
kohenim (priests) with fatness, and my
people shall be satisfied with my
goodness, says hwhy.
15 Thus says hwhy; A voice was heard
in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter
weeping; Rach’el weeping for her
children refused to be comforted for her
children, because they were not.4
16 Thus says hwhy; Refrain your voice
from weeping, and your eyes from tears:
for your work shall be rewarded, says
hwhy; and they shall come again from
the land of the enemy.
17 And there is hope in your end, says
hwhy, that your children shall come again
to their own border.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim
bemoaning himself thus; You have
chastised me, and I was chastised, as a
bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn
me, and I shall be turned; for you are
hwhy my Elohim.
19 Surely after that I was turned, I
repented; and after that I was instructed, I
smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed,
yes, even confounded, because I did
bear the reproach of my youth.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a
pleasant child? For since I spoke against
him, I do remember him in fondness:
therefore I have pity for him; I will surely

21 Set up your landmarks, make your

turn again to these your cities.
22 How long will you go about, O you
backsliding daughter? For hwhy has
created a new thing in the earth, A
woman shall compass a man.
23 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel); As yet they shall
use this speech in the land of Yahudah
(Judah) and in the cities thereof, when I
shall bring again their captivity; hwhy
bless you, O habitation of justice, and
mountain of set-apartness.
24 And there shall dwell in Yahudah
(Judah) itself, and in all the cities thereof
together, husbandmen, and they that go
forth with flocks.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul,
and I have replenished every sorrowful
soul.
26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and
my sleep was sweet to me.
27 Behold, the days come, says hwhy,
that I will plant the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) and the house of Yahudah
(Judah) with the seed of man, and with
the seed of beast. 1 name:
28 And it shall come to pass, that like as
I have watched over them, to pluck up,
and to break down, and to throw down,
and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I
watch over them, to rebuild, and to plant,
says hwhy.
29 In those days they shall say no more,
The ahvot (fathers) have eaten a sour
grape, and the children's teeth are set on
edge.
30 But every one shall die for his own
iniquity: every man that eats the sour
grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, says hwhy,
1YHWH will bring back the exiles in the
millennium.
778
that I will make a Brit-renewed
Chadasha-covenant2 with the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and with the house of
Yahudah (Judah):
32 Not according to the covenant3 that I
made with their ahvot (fathers) in the day
that I took them by the hand to bring them
out of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt);
which my covenant they broke, although I
was an husband to them, says hwhy:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I
will make with the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); After those days, says hwhy, I
will put my Torah in their inward parts,
and write it in their hearts; and will be
their Elohim, and they shall be my
people.4
34 And they shall teach no more every
man his neighbour, and every man his
brother, saying, Know hwhy:5 for they
shall all know me, from the least of them
to the greatest of them, says hwhy: for I
will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more.

sun for a light by day, and the ordinances
of the moon and of the stars for a light by
night, which divides the sea when the

4 This stage started two thousand years ago but

not believing or obeying the Torah. This will
happen when YHWH will raise the dead Northern

and give them a second chance to allow them to
show their obedience. See Ezekiel 37.
5 This is not yet fully true as many in Christendom
do not know who YHWH is but are still running

37 Thus says hwhy; If shamayim
(heavens) above can be measured, and
the foundations of the earth searched out
beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) for all that they have
done, says hwhy.
38 Behold, the days come, says hwhy,
that the city shall be built to hwhy from
the tower of Hanane’el to the gate of the
corner.
39 And the measuring line shall yet go

and shall compass about to Go’ah.

Chapter 32
1 The word that came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy in the tenth year of
Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah (Judah), which
was the eighteenth year of
Nebukadretzar.
2 For then the king of Babylon's army
besieged Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): and
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet was
shut up in the court of the prison, which
was in the king of Yahudah (Judah)'s
house.
3 For Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah (Judah)
had shut him up, saying, Therefore dost
you prophesy, and say, Thus says hwhy,
Behold, I will give this city into the hand of
the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 And Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah
(Judah) shall not escape out of the hand
of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be
delivered into the hand of the king of
Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth
1 Reiterated that the covenants are only with
Israel and not any man made entity called Church
and masquerading as Israel.
779
to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his
eyes;
5 And he shall lead Zidqi’yah to
Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit
him, says hwhy: though you fight with the
Chaldeans, you shall not prosper.
6 And Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) said, The
word of hwhy came to me, saying,
7 Behold, Haname’el the son of Shallum
your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy
my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of
redemption is yours to buy it.
8 So Haname’el my uncle's son came to
me in the court of the prison according to
the word of hwhy, and said to me, Buy
my field, I pray you, that is in Anathoth,
which is in the country of Benyamin
(Benjamin): for the right of inheritance is
your, and the redemption is your; buy it
for yourself. Then I knew that this was the
word of hwhy.
9 And I bought the field of Haname’el
my uncle's son that was in Anathoth, and
weighed him the money, even seventeen
shekels of silver.
10 And I subscribed the evidence, and
sealed it, and took witnesses, and
weighed him the money in the balances.
11 So I took the evidence of the
purchase, both that which was sealed
according to the Torah and custom, and
that which was open:
12 And I gave the evidence of the
purchase to Baruch the son of Neri’yah,
the son of Maase’yah, in the sight of
Haname’el my uncle's son, and in the
presence of the witnesses that
subscribed the scroll of the purchase,
before all the Jews that sat in the court of
the prison.
13 And I charged Baruch before them,
saying,
14 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Take these
evidences, this evidence of the purchase,
both which is sealed, and this evidence
which is open; and put them in a clay jar,
that they may continue many days.
15 For thus says hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Houses and
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
fields and vineyards shall be possessed
again in this land.
16 Now when I had delivered the
evidence of the purchase to Baruch the
son of Neri’yah, I prayed to hwhy, saying,
17 Ah Master hwhy! behold, you have
made the shamayim (heavens) and the
earth by your great power and stretched
out arm, and there is nothing too hard for
you:
18 You show loving-kindness to
thousands,1 and recompense the iniquity
of the ahvot (fathers) into the bosom of
their children after them: the Great, the
Mighty El, hwhy of hosts, is his name,
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work:
for your eyes are open upon all the ways
of the sons of men: to give every one
according to his ways, and according to
the fruit of his doings:
20 Which have set signs and wonders in
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), even to this
day, and in Yah’sar’el (Israel), and among
other men; and you have made a name,
as at this day;
21 And have brought forth your people
Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) with signs, and with
wonders, and with a strong hand, and
with a stretched out arm, and with great
terror;
22 And have given them this land, which
you did swear to their ahvot (fathers) to
give them, a land flowing with milk and
honey;
23 And they came in, and possessed it;
but they obeyed not your voice, neither
walked in your Torah; they have done
nothing of all that you commanded them
to do: therefore you have caused all this
evil to come upon them:
24 Behold the siege mounds, they are
come to the city to take it; and the city is
given into the hand of the Chaldeans that
fight against it, because of the sword, and
of the famine, and of the pestilence: and
1 Israel
780
what you have spoken is come to pass;
and, behold, you see it.
25 And you have said to me, O Master
hwhy, Buy you the field for money, and
take witnesses; for the city is given into
the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Then came the word of hwhy to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), saying,
27 Behold, I am hwhy, the Elohim of all
flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
28 Therefore thus says hwhy; Behold, I
will give this city into the hand of the
Chaldeans, and into the hand of
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon, and he
shall take it:
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against
this city, shall come and set fire on this
city, and burn it with the houses, upon
whose roofs they have offered incense to
Baal, and poured out drink offerings to
other mighty ones, to provoke me to
anger.
30 For the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
and the children of Yahudah (Judah)
have only done evil before me from their
youth: for the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) have only provoked me to anger
with the work of their hands, says hwhy.
31 For this city has been to me as a
provocation of my anger and of my fury
from the day that they built it even to this
day; that I should remove it from before
my face,
32 Because of all the evil of the children
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and of the children of
Yahudah (Judah), which they have done
to provoke me to anger, they, their kings,
their princes, their kohenim (priests), and
their prophets, and the men of Yahudah
(Judah), and the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
33 And they have turned to me the
back, and not the face: though I taught
them, rising up early and teaching them,
yet they have not hearkened to receive
instruction.
34 But they set their abominations in the
Temple, which is called by my name, to
defile it.
35 And they built the high places of
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
Baal, which are in the valley of the son of
Hinnom, to cause their sons and their
daughters to burn in the fire to Molek;
which I commanded them not, neither
came it into my mind, that they should do
this abomination, to cause Yahudah
(Judah) to sin.
36 And now therefore thus says hwhy,
the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
concerning this city, whereof you say, It
shall be delivered into the hand of the
king of Babylon by the sword, and by the
famine, and by the pestilence;
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all
countries, where I have driven them in my
anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath;
and I will bring them again to this place,
and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 And they shall be my people, and I
will be their Elohim:1
39 And I will give them one heart, and
one way that they may fear me forever,
for the good of them, and of their children
after them:
40 And I will make an everlasting
covenant with them, that I will not turn
away from them, to do them good; but I
will put my fear in their hearts, that they
shall not depart from me.
41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do
them good, and I will plant them in this
land assuredly with my whole heart and
with my whole soul.
42 For thus says hwhy; Like as I have
brought all this great evil upon this
people, so will I bring upon them all the
good that I have promised them.
43 And fields shall be bought in this
land, whereof you say, It is desolate
without man or beast; it is given into the
hand of the Chaldeans.
44 Men shall buy fields for money, and
subscribe evidences, and seal them, and
take witnesses in the land of Benyamin
(Benjamin), and in the places about
1 This is yet to come to pass and will be
completely fulfilled in the millennium.
781
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and in the
cities of Yahudah (Judah), and in the
cities of the mountains, and in the cities
of the valley, and in the cities of the
south: for I will cause their captivity to
return, says hwhy.
Chapter 33
1 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the second time,
while he was yet shut up in the court of
the prison, saying,
2 Thus says hwhy the maker thereof,
hwhy that formed it, to establish it; hwhy
is his name;
3 Call to me, and I will answer you, and
show you great and mighty things, which
you know not.2
4 For thus says hwhy, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), concerning the houses
of this city, and concerning the houses of
the kings of Yahudah (Judah), which are
thrown down by the siege mounds, and
by the sword;
5 They come to fight with the
Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the
dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in
my anger and in my fury, and for all
whose wickedness I have hid my face
from this city.
6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure,
and I will cure them, and will reveal to
them the abundance of shalom (peace)
and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity of
Yahudah (Judah) and the captivity of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to return, and will build
them, as at the first.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their
iniquity, whereby they have sinned
against me; and I will pardon all their
iniquities,3 whereby they have sinned,
2 If you want to see great things dial 333, YHWH
is the name to see great things.
3 The blood of Messiah will be retrospectively
applied back to cleanse Israel and they will be all
resurrected in the millennium.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
and whereby they have transgressed
against me.
9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a
praise and an honour before all the
nations of the earth, which shall hear all
the good that I do to them: and they shall
fear and tremble for all the goodness and
for all the prosperity that I procure to it.
10 Thus says hwhy; Again there shall
be heard in this place, which you say
shall be desolate without man and
without beast, even in the cities of
Yahudah (Judah), and in the streets of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), that are
desolate, without man, and without
inhabitant, and without beast,
11 The voice of joy, and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom,1
and the voice of the bride, the voice of
them that shall say, Praise hwhy of hosts:
for hwhy is good; for his mercy endures
forever: and of them that shall bring the
sacrifice of praise into the house of hwhy.
For I will cause to return the captivity of
the land, as at the first, says hwhy.
12 Thus says hwhy of hosts; Again in
this place, which is desolate without man
and without beast, and in all the cities
thereof, shall be an habitation of
shepherds causing their flocks to lie
down.
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the
cities of the vale, and in the cities of the
south, and in the land of Benyamin
(Benjamin), and in the places about
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and in the
cities of Yahudah (Judah), shall the flocks
pass again under the hands of him that
told them, says hwhy.
14 Behold, the days come, says hwhy,
that I will perform that good thing which I
have promised to the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) and to the house of Yahudah
(Judah).2
1 to test their heart being contrite or not and to
Hint of Messiah and His followers.
2 Still future at the return of Messiah.
782
15 In those days, and at that time, will I
cause the Branch of righteousness3 to
grow up to Dawud (David); and he shall
execute right-ruling and righteousness in
the land.4
16 In those days shall Yahudah (Judah)
be saved, and Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
shall dwell safely: and this is the name
wherewith she shall be called, hwhy our
righteousness.
17 For thus says hwhy; Dawud (David)
shall never want a man to sit upon the
throne of the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
18 Neither shall the kohenim (priests)
the Lewites want a man before me to
offer burnt offerings, and to kindle grain
offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.5
3 King Messiah.
4 King David will be co-regent under King Messiah,
the same picture as Yosef under Pharaoh.
5 The full sacrificial system shall return in the
millennium reign and people will have to give sin
offerings once again. How do we deal with the text
in Hebrews 9:12 and 10:12 which says the
sacrifice has been offered for once for all? The
problem is how one views the writers of the
Hebrews view if being Rabbi Paulos this is easy to
understand. Those who are alive today and are
redeemed through the blood of the Messiah will
never have to give a sin offering again for their
eternal state because in reality there was no
sacrifice for deliberate sin offering anyway so one
must understand this point as the most superior
offering for sin is repentance not sacrifice. Read Ps
51:16-17. The sacrifice of the Messiah is a one
time special deal for all of Israel and especially for
the ten northern tribes, who were lost being
scattered. This divorced northern wife was saved
by the Messiah so she could be restored, while
Judah the southern wife was never divorced so
why would she need saving as in the drash
allegory of Luke 15:31 Judah has always been with
the Father. Now what about sinners who are alive
in the millennium what will they do? They will have
to bring sacrifices but their eternal state does not
rest on the sacrificial system but the same as
today upon grace and the sacrifices are therefore
fulfill the obligation Elohim has placed upon us. So
there will be sacrifices for the people who are alive
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
19 And the word of hwhy came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), saying,
20 Thus says hwhy; If you can break
my covenant of the day, and my covenant
of the night, and that there should not be
day and night in their season;
21 Then may also my covenant be
broken with Dawud (David) my servant,
that he should not have a son to reign
upon his throne; and with the Lewites the
kohenim (priests), my ministers.
22 As the armies of shamayim
(heavens) cannot be numbered, neither
the sand of the sea measured: so will I
multiply the seed of Dawud (David) my
servant, and the Lewites that minister to
me.
23 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), saying,
24 Consider not what this people have
spoken, saying, The two families which
hwhy has chosen, he has even cast them
off?1 thus they have despised my people,
that they should be no more a nation
before them.
25 Thus says hwhy; If my covenant be
not with day and night, and if I have not
appointed the ordinances of shamayim
(heavens) and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of
Ya’acob (Jacob), and Dawud (David) my
servant, so that I will not take any of his
seed to be rulers over the seed of
Abraham, Yahsac (Isaac), and Ya’acob
(Jacob): for I will cause their captivity to
return, and have mercy on them.
and are sinners please see Zec 14:21. Also note
that even the righteous can sin in the millennium
so there will be sacrifices for what is termed
reconciliation offerings. This means that the
individual may not lose fellowship with Elohim.
There are also sacrifices for shalom offerings again
offered by the righteous for appeasing YHWH.
1 The radical Muslims will be saying this to take
the land of Israel.

Chapter 34
1 The word which came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, when
Nebukadnetzar king of Babylon, and all
his army, and all the kingdoms of the
earth of his dominion, and all the people,
fought against Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
and against all the cities thereof, saying,
2 Thus says hwhy, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); Go and speak to
Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah (Judah), and
tell him, Thus says hwhy; Behold, I will
give this city into the hand of the king of
Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3 And you shall not escape out of his
hand, but shall surely be taken, and
delivered into his hand; and your eyes
shall behold the eyes of the king of
Babylon, and he shall speak with you
mouth to mouth, and you shall go to
Babylon.
4 Yet hear the word of hwhy, O
Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah (Judah); Thus
says hwhy of you, You shall not die by
the sword:
5 But you shall die in shalom (peace):
and with the burnings of your ahvot
(fathers), the former kings which were
before you, so shall they burn odours for
you; and they will lament you, saying, Ah
master! for I have pronounced the word,
says hwhy.
6 Then Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the
prophet spoke all these words to
Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah (Judah) in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
7 When the king of Babylon's army
fought against Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
and against all the cities of Yahudah
(Judah) that were left, against Lakish,
and against Azekah: for these walled
cities remained of the cities of Yahudah
(Judah).
8 This is the word that came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) from hwhy, after
that the king Zidqi’yah had made a
covenant with all the people which were
at Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), to proclaim
liberty to them;
9 That every man should let his
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
manservant, and every man his
maidservant, being an Abrahuan
(Hebrew) or a Hebrewess, goes free; that
none should serve himself of them, of a
Yahudi his brother.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the
people, which had entered into the
covenant, heard that every one should let
his manservant, and every one his
maidservant, go free, that none should
serve themselves of them any more, then
they obeyed, and let them go.
11 But afterward they turned, and
caused the servants and the handmaids,
whom they had let go free, to return, and
brought them into subjection for servants
and for handmaids.
12 Therefore the word of hwhy came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) from hwhy, saying,
13 Thus says hwhy, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); I made a covenant
with your ahvot (fathers) in the day that I
brought them forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), out of the house of
bondmen, saying,
1
14 At the end of seven years let go
every man his brother an Abrahuan
(Hebrew), which has been sold to you;
and when he has served you six years,
you shall let him go free from you: but
your ahvot (fathers) hearkened not to me,
neither inclined their ear.
15 And you were now turned, and had
done right in my sight, in proclaiming
liberty every man to his neighbour; and
you had made a covenant before me in
the house which is called by my name:
16 But you turned and polluted my
name, and caused every man his
servant, and every man his handmaid,
whom you had set at liberty at their
pleasure, to return, and brought them into
subjection, to be to you for servants and
for handmaids.
17 Therefore thus says hwhy; You have
not hearkened to me, in proclaiming
1 Shemita the year of release.
784
liberty, every one to his brother, and
every man to his neighbour: behold, I
proclaim a liberty for you, says hwhy, to
the sword, to the pestilence, and to the
famine; and I will make you to be
removed into all the kingdoms of the
earth.
18 And I will give the men that have
transgressed my covenant, which have
not performed the words of the covenant
which they had made before me, when
they cut the calf in twain, and passed
between the parts thereof,
19 The princes of Yahudah (Judah),
and the princes of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), the eunuchs, and the
kohenim (priests), and all the people of
the land, which passed between the parts
of the calf;
20 I will even give them into the hand of
their enemies, and into the hand of them
that seek their life: and their dead bodies
shall be for meat to the fowls of the
shamayim (heavens), and to the beasts
of the earth.
21 And Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah
(Judah) and his princes will I give into the
hand of their enemies, and into the hand
of them that seek their life, and into the
hand of the king of Babylon's army, which
are gone up from you.
22 Behold, I will command, says hwhy,
and cause them to return to this city; and
they shall fight against it, and take it, and
burn it with fire: and I will make the cities
of Yahudah (Judah) a desolation without
an inhabitant.
Chapter 35
1 The word which came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy in the days of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah), saying,
2 Go to the house of the Rechabites,
and speak to them, and bring them into
the house of hwhy, into one of the
chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Then I took Yaazanyahu (Jaazaniah)
the son of Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), the son
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all
his sons, and the whole house of the
Rechabites;
4 And I brought them into the house of
hwhy, into the chamber of the sons of
Chanan, the son of Yigdalyahu (Igdaliah),
a man of Elohim, which was by the
chamber of the princes, which was above
the chamber of Maase’yah the son of
Shallum, the keeper of the door:
5 And I set before the sons of the house
of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and
cups, and I said to them, Drink you wine.
6 But they said, We will drink no wine:
for Yonadab the son of Rechab our father
commanded us, saying, You shall drink
no wine, neither you, nor your sons
forever:
7 Neither shall you build house, nor sow
seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any:
but all your days you shall dwell in tents;
that you may live many days in the land
where you be strangers.
8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of
Yonadab the son of Rechab our father in
all that he has commanded us, to drink
no wine all our days, we, our wives, our
sons, nor our daughters;
9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in:
neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor
seed:
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have
obeyed, and done according to all that
Yonadab our father commanded us.
11 But it came to pass, when
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon came up
into the land, that we said, Come, and let
us go to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) for
fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for
fear of the army of the Syrians: so we
dwell at Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
12 Then came the word of hwhy to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), saying,
13 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Go and tell the men
of Yahudah (Judah) and the inhabitants
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), Will you not
receive instruction to hearken to my
words? Says hwhy.
14 The words of Yonadab the son of
785
Rechab, that he commanded his sons not
to drink wine, are performed; for to this
day they drink none, but obey their
father's commandment: notwithstanding I
have spoken to you, rising early and
speaking; but you hearkened not to me.
15 I have sent also to you all my
servants the prophets, rising up early and
sending them, saying, Return now every
man from his evil way, and amend your
doings, and go not after other mighty
ones to serve them, and you shall dwell
in the land which I have given to you and
to your ahvot (fathers): but you have not
inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.
16 Because the sons of Yonadab the
son of Rechab have performed the
commandment of their father, which he
commanded them; but this people has
not hearkened to me:
17 Therefore thus says hwhy Elohim of
hosts, the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
Behold, I will bring upon Yahudah
(Judah) and upon all the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) all the evil that
I have pronounced against them:
because I have spoken to them, but they
have not heard; and I have called to
them, but they have not answered.
18 And Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) said to the
house of the Rechabites, Thus says
hwhy of hosts, the Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); Because you have obeyed the
commandment of Yonadab your father,
and kept all his precepts, and done
according to all that he has commanded
you:
19 Therefore thus says hwhy of hosts,
the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Yonadab
the son of Rechab shall never lack a
male descendant to serve me forever.
Chapter 36
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year
of Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah), that this word came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, saying,
2 Take yourself a scroll, and write
therein all the words that I have spoken to
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
you against Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
against Yahudah (Judah), and against all
the nations, from the day I spoke to you,
from the days of Yoshiyahu (Josiah),
even to this day.
3 It may be that the house of Yahudah
(Judah) will hear all the evil which I
purpose to do to them; that they may
return every man from his evil way; that I
may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
4 Then Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) called
Baruch the son of Neri’yah: and Baruch
wrote from the mouth of Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) all the words of hwhy, which
he had spoken to him, into a scroll.
5 And Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut
up; I cannot go into the house of hwhy:
6 Therefore go, and read in the scroll,
which you have written from my mouth,
the words of hwhy in the ears of the
people in hwhy's house upon the fasting
day: and also you shall read them in the
ears of all Yahudah (Judah) that come
out of their cities.
7 It may be they will present their
supplication before hwhy, and will return
every one from his evil way: for great is
the anger and the fury that hwhy has
pronounced against this people.
8 And Baruch the son of Neri’yah did
according to all that Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
the prophet commanded him, reading in
the scroll the words of hwhy in hwhy's
house.
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah), in the ninth month that they
proclaimed a fast before hwhy to all the
people in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
to all the people that came from the cities
of Yahudah (Judah) to Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
10 Then read Baruch in the scroll the
words of Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) in the
house of hwhy, in the chamber of
Gemar’yah the son of Shaphan the
scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of
the new gate of hwhy's house, in the ears
786
of all the people.
11 When Mika’yah the son of
Gemar’yah, the son of Shaphan, had
heard out of the scroll all the words of the
hwhy,
12 Then he went down into the king's
house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo,
all the princes sat there, even Elishama
the scribe, and Delayahu the son of
Shema’yah, and Elnathan the son of
Akbor, and Gemar’yah the son of
Shaphan, and Zidqi’yah the son of
Chananyahu (Hananiah), and all the
princes.
13 Then Mika’yah declared to them all
the words that he had heard, when
Baruch read the scroll in the ears of the
people.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Yahudi
the son of Nethan’yah, the son of
Shelem’yah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch,
saying, Take in your hand the scroll
wherein you have read in the ears of the
people, and come. So Baruch the son of
Neri’yah took the scroll in his hand, and
came to them.
15 And they said to him, Sit down now,
and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it
in their ears.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had
heard all the words, they were afraid both
one and other, and said to Baruch, We
will surely tell the king of all these words.
17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell
us now, How did you write all these
words at his mouth?
18 Then Baruch answered them, He
pronounced all these words to me with
his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in
the scroll.
19 Then said the princes to Baruch, Go,
hide, you and Yirme’yah (Jeremiah); and
let no man know where you be.
20 And they went in to the king into the
court, but they laid up the scroll in the
chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told
all the words in the ears of the king.
21 So the king sent Yahudi to fetch the
scroll: and he took it out of Elishama the
scribe's chamber. And Yahudi read it in
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
the ears of the king, and in the ears of all
the princes which stood beside the king.
22 Now the king sitting in the winter
quarters in the ninth month: and there
was a fire on the hearth burning before
him.
23 And it came to pass, that when
Yahudi had read three or four leaves, he
cut it with the penknife, and cast it into
the fire that was on the hearth, until all
the scroll was consumed in the fire that
was on the hearth.
24 Yet they were not afraid, nor tore
their garments, neither the king, nor any
of his servants that heard all these words.
25 Nevertheless Elnathan and
Delayahu and Gemar’yah had made
intercession to the king that he would not
burn the scroll: but he would not hear
them.
26 But the king commanded
Yerachme’el the son of Hammelech, and
Serai’yah the son of Azri’el, and
Shelem’yah the son of Abde’el, to take
Baruch the scribe and Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) the prophet: but hwhy hid
them.
27 Then the word of hwhy came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), after that the king
had burned the scroll, and the words
which Baruch wrote at the mouth of
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), saying,
28 Now take again another scroll, and
write in it all the former words that were in
the first scroll, which Yahuyakim
(Jehoiakim) the king of Yahudah (Judah)
has burned.
29 And you shall say to Yahuyakim
(Jehoiakim) king of Yahudah (Judah),
Thus says hwhy; You have burned this
scroll, saying, Why have you written
therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall
certainly come and destroy this land, and
shall cause to cease from there man and
beast?
30 Therefore thus says hwhy of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) king of Yahudah
(Judah); He shall have none to sit upon
the throne of Dawud (David): and his
dead body shall be cast out in the day to
787
the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31 And I will punish him and his seed
and his servants for their iniquity; and I
will bring upon them, and upon the
inhabitants of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
and upon the men of Yahudah (Judah),
all the disaster that I have pronounced
against them; but they hearkened not.
32 Then took Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the
scribe, the son of Neri’yah; who wrote
therein from the mouth of Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) all the words of the scroll
which Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) king of
Yahudah (Judah) had burned in the fire:
and there were added besides to them
many like words.1
Chapter 37
1 And king Zidqi’yah the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) reigned instead of
Konyahu the son of Yahuyakim
(Jehoiakim), whom Nebukadretzar king of
Babylon made king in the land of
Yahudah (Judah).
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor
the people of the land, did hearken to the
words of hwhy, which he spoke by the
prophet Yirme’yah (Jeremiah).
3 And Zidqi’yah the king sent Yehukal
the son of Shelem’yah and Tsephan’yah
the son of Maase’yah the kohen (priest)
to the prophet Yirme’yah (Jeremiah),
saying, Pray now to hwhy our Elohim for
us.
4 Now Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) came in
and went out among the people: for they
had not put him into prison.
5 Then Pharaoh's army was come forth
out of Mitzrayim (Egypt): and when the
Chaldeans that besieged Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) heard a report of them, they
1 YHWH’s words travel. This is how we have come
to receive His words through scrolls. If we reject
the words of the great king then we suffer and if
we accept them then there is eternal life through
them.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
departed from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
6 Then came the word of hwhy to the
prophet Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), saying,
7 Thus says hwhy, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); Thus shall you say to
the king of Yahudah (Judah), that sent
you to me to enquire of me; Behold,
Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to
help you, shall return to Mitzrayim (Egypt)
into their own land.
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again,
and fight against this city, and take it, and
burn it with fire.
9 Thus says hwhy; Deceive not
yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall
surely depart from us: for they shall not
depart.
10 For though you had smitten the
whole army of the Chaldeans that fight
against you, and there remained but
wounded men among them, yet should
they rise up every man in his tent, and
burn this city with fire.
11 And it came to pass, that when the
army of the Chaldeans was broken up
from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) for fear of
Pharaoh's army,
12 Then Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) went
forth out of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to
go into the land of Benyamin (Benjamin),
to separate himself there in the midst of
the people.
13 And when he was in the gate of
Benyamin (Benjamin), a commander of
the guard was there, whose name was
Yiri’yah, the son of Shelem’yah, the son
of Chananyahu (Hananiah); and he
seized Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet,
saying, You are deserting to the
Chaldeans.
14 Then said Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), It is
false; I did not intend to desert to the
Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him:
so Yiri’yah took Yirme’yah (Jeremiah),
and brought him to the princes.
15 Therefore the princes were angry
with Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), and struck
him, and put him in prison in the house of
Yahunathan (Jonathan) the scribe: for
they had made that the prison.
788
16 When Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) was put
into the dungeon, and into the cabins,
and Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) had remained
there many days;
17 Then Zidqi’yah the king sent, and
took him out: and the king asked him
secretly in his house, and said, Is there
any word from hwhy? And Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) said, There is: for, said he,
you shall be delivered into the hand of the
king of Babylon.
18 Moreover Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) said
to king Zidqi’yah, What have I offended
you in, or against your servants, or
against this people, that you have put me
in prison?
19 Where are now your prophets who
prophesied to you, saying, The king of
Babylon shall not come against you, nor
against this land?
20 Therefore hear now, I pray you, O
my master the king: let my supplication, I
pray you, be accepted before you; that
you cause me not to return to the house
of Yahunathan (Jonathan) the scribe, lest
I die there.
21 Then Zidqi’yah the king commanded
that they should commit Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) into the court of the prison,
and that they should give him daily a
piece of lechem (bread) out of the bakers
street, until all the lechem (bread) in the
city were spent. Thus Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) remained in the court of the
prison.
Chapter 38
1 Then Shefat’yah the son of Mattan,
and Gedal’yah the son of Pashhur, and
Yukal the son of Shelem’yah, and
Pashhur the son of Malchi’yah, heard the
words that Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) had
spoken to all the people, saying,
2 Thus says hwhy, He that remains in
this city shall die by the sword, by the
famine, and by the pestilence: but he that
goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for
he shall have his life for a prey, and shall
live.
3 Thus says hwhy, This city shall surely
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
be given into the hand of the king of
Babylon's army, which shall take it.
4 Therefore the princes said to the king,
We beseech you, let this man be put to
death: for thus he demoralizes the
soldiers that remain in this city, and the
hands of all the people, in speaking such
words to them: for this man seeks not the
welfare of this people, but the hurt.
5 Then Zidqi’yah the king said, Behold,
he is in your hand: for the king is not he
that can do any thing against you.
6 Then took they Yirme’yah (Jeremiah),
and cast him into the dungeon of
Malchi’yah the son of Hammelech, that
was in the court of the prison: and they let
down Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) with ropes.
And in the dungeon there was no mayim
(water), but mud: so Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) sunk in the mud.
7 Now when Ebed-melech the Cushite,
one of the male court officials, which was
in the king's palace, heard that they had
put Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) in the dungeon;
the king then sitting in the gate of
Benyamin (Benjamin);
8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the
king's house, and spoke to the king,
saying,
9 My master the king, these men have
done evil in all that they have done to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet, whom
they have cast into the dungeon; and he
is like to die for hunger in the place where
he is: for there is no more lechem (bread)
in the city.
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-
melech the Cushite, saying, Take from
here thirty men with you, and take up
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet out of
the dungeon, before he die.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with
him, and went into the house of the king
under the treasury, and took there old
cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let
them down by ropes into the dungeon to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah).
12 And Ebed-melech the Cushite said to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), Put now these old
cast clouts and rotten rags under your
789
armpits under the ropes. And Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) did so.
13 So they drew up Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) with ropes, and took him up
out of the dungeon: and Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) remained in the court of the
prison.
14 Then Zidqi’yah the king sent, and
took Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet to
him into the third entry that is in the
house of hwhy: and the king said to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), I will ask you a
thing; hide nothing from me.
15 Then Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) said to
Zidqi’yah, If I declare it to you, will you not
surely put me to death? And if I give you
counsel, will you not hearken to me?1
16 So Zidqi’yah the king swore secretly
to Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), saying, As hwhy
lives, that made us this soul, I will not put
you to death, neither will I give you into
the hand of these men that seek your life.
17 Then said Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) to
Zidqi’yah, Thus says hwhy, the Elohim of
hosts, the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); If
you will assuredly go forth to the king of
Babylon's princes, then your soul shall
live, and this city shall not be burned with
fire; and you shall live, and your house:
18 But if you will not go forth to the king
of Babylon's princes, then shall this city
be given into the hand of the Chaldeans,
and they shall burn it with fire, and you
shall not escape out of their hand.
19 And Zidqi’yah the king said to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), I am afraid of the
Yahudim (Judeans) that have deserted to
the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into
their hand, and they will torture me.
20 But Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) said, They
shall not deliver you. Obey, I beseech
you, the voice of hwhy, which I speak to
1 When people do not want to hear YHWH’s word
it does not matter what you say they always
pretend to be self righteous and you like Jeremiah
may be a prophet in calling but they will put you
down and not listen to you. What happened to
Jeremiah was despicable for declaring truth.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
you: so it shall be well to you, and your
soul shall live.
21 But if you refuse to go forth, this is
the word that hwhy has showed me:
22 And, behold, all the women that are
left in the king of Yahudah (Judah)'s
house shall be brought forth to the king of
Babylon's princes, and those women
shall say, Your friends have set you on,
and have prevailed against you: your feet
are sunk in the mud, and they are turned
away back.
23 So they shall bring out all your wives
and your children to the Chaldeans: and
you shall not escape out of their hand,
but shall be taken by the hand of the king
of Babylon: and you shall cause this city
to be burned with fire.
24 Then said Zidqi’yah to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah), Let no man know of these
words, and you shall not die.
25 But if the princes hear that I have
talked with you, and they come to you,
and say to you, Declare to us now what
you have said to the king, hide it not from
us, and we will not put you to death; also
what the king said to you:
26 Then you shall say to them, I
presented my supplication before the
king, that he would not cause me to
return to Yahunathan (Jonathan)'s house,
to die there.
27 Then came all the princes to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), and asked him:
and he told them according to all these
words that the king had commanded. So
they left off speaking with him; for the
matter was not perceived.
28 So Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) abode in
the court of the prison until the day that
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) was taken:
and he was there when Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) was taken.
Chapter 39
1 In the ninth year of Zidqi’yah king of
Yahudah (Judah), in the tenth month,
came Nebukadretzar king of Babylon and
all his army against Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and they besieged it.
790
2 And in the eleventh year of Zidqi’yah,
in the fourth month, the ninth day of the
month, the city was broken up.
3 And all the princes of the king of
Babylon came in, and sat in the middle
gate, even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-
nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-
sharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of
the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 And it came to pass, that when
Zidqi’yah the king of Yahudah (Judah)
saw them, and all the men of war, then
they fled, and went forth out of the city by
night, by the way of the king's garden, by
the gate between the two walls: and he
went out the way of the plain.
5 But the Chaldean army pursued after
them, and overtook Zidqi’yah in the plains
of Yericho (Jericho): and when they had
taken him, they brought him up to
Nebukadnetzar king of Babylon to Riblah
in the land of Hamath, where he gave
judgment upon him.
6 Then the king of Babylon slew the
sons of Zidqi’yah in Riblah before his
eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the
nobles of Yahudah (Judah).
7 Moreover he put out Zidqi’yah's eyes,
and bound him with chains, to carry him
to Babylon.1
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's
house, and the houses of the people, with
fire, and broke down the walls of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
9 Then Nebuzaradan the commander of
the guard carried away captive into
Babylon the remnant of the people that
remained in the city, and those that fell
away, that fell to him, with the rest of the
people that remained.
10 But Nebuzaradan the commander of
the guard left of the poor of the people,
which had nothing, in the land of
Yahudah (Judah), and gave them
vineyards and fields at the same time.
1 That is what happens when you do not listen to
what YHWH had said through Jeremiah.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
11 Now Nebukadretzar king of Babylon
gave charge concerning Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) to Nebuzaradan the
commander of the guard, saying,
12 Take him, and look well to him, and
do him no harm; but do to him even as he
shall say to you.
13 So Nebuzaradan the commander of
the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab-
saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rabmag, and
all the king of Babylon's princes;
14 Even they sent, and took Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) out of the court of the prison,
and committed him to Gedal’yah the son
of Akhikam the son of Shaphan, that he
should carry him home: so he dwelt
among the people.
15 Now the word of hwhy came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), while he was shut
up in the court of the prison, saying,
16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the
Cushite, saying, Thus says hwhy of
hosts, the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
Behold, I will bring my words upon this
city for disaster, and not for good; and
they shall be accomplished in that day
before you.
17 But I will deliver you in that day, says
hwhy: and you shall not be given into the
hand of the men of whom you are afraid.1
18 For I will surely deliver you, and you
shall not fall by the sword, but you will
escape with your life: because you have
put your trust in me, says hwhy.
Chapter 40
1 The word that came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) from hwhy, after that
Nebuzaradan the commander of the
guard had let him go from Ramah, when
he had taken him being bound in chains
among all that were carried away captive
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) and
Yahudah (Judah), which were carried
away captive to Babylon.
1 YHWH always blesses those who bless His
servants even in extreme circumstances.
791
2 And the commander of the guard took
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), and said to him,
hwhy your Elohim has pronounced this
disaster upon this place.
3 Now hwhy has brought it, and done
according as he has said: because you
have sinned against hwhy, and have not
obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is
come upon you.
4 And now, behold, I loose you this day
from the chains which were upon your
hand. If it seem good to you to come with
me into Babylon, come; and I will look
after you: but if it seem ill to you to come
with me into Babylon, you do not have to:
behold, all the land is before you: where it
seems good and convenient for you to
go, there go.
5 Now while he was not yet gone back,
he said, Go back also to Gedal’yah the
son of Akhikam the son of Shaphan,
whom the king of Babylon has made
governor over the cities of Yahudah
(Judah), and dwell with him among the
people: or go wheresoever it seems
convenient to you to go. So the
commander of the guard gave him
supplies and a reward, and let him go.
6 Then went Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) to
Gedal’yah the son of Akhikam to Mizpah;
and dwelt with him among the people that
were left in the land.
7 Now when all the commanders of the
forces which were in the fields, even they
and their men, heard that the king of
Babylon had made Gedal’yah the son of
Akhikam governor in the land, and had
committed to him men, and women, and
children, and of the poor of the land, of
them that were not carried away captive
to Babylon;
8 Then they came to Gedal’yah to
Mizpah, even Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the
son of Nethan’yah, and Yahuchannan
and Yahunathan (Jonathan) the sons of
Kareah, and Serai’yah the son of
Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ofai the
Netophathite, and Yezenyahu (Jezaniah)
the son of a Maachathite, they and their
men.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
9 And Gedal’yah the son of Akhikam the
son of Shaphan swore to them and to
their men, saying, Fear not to serve the
Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve
the king of Babylon, and it shall be well
with you.
10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at
Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans, which
will come to us: but you, gather you wine,
and summer fruits, and oil, and put them
in your vessels, and dwell in your cities
that you have taken.
11 Likewise when all the Yahudim
(Jewish people) that were in Moab, and
among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and
that were in all the countries, heard that
the king of Babylon had left a remnant of
Yahudah (Judah), and that he had set
over them Gedal’yah the son of Akhikam
the son of Shaphan;
12 Even all the Yahudim (Jewish
people) returned out of all places where
they were driven, and came to the land of
Yahudah (Judah), to Gedal’yah, to
Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer
fruits in large quantity.
13 Moreover Yahuchannan the son of
Kareah, and all the commanders of the
forces that were in the fields, came to
Gedal’yah to Mizpah,
14 And said to him, Do you certainly
know that Baalis the king of the
Ammonites has sent Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el) the son of Nethan’yah to slay
you? But Gedal’yah the son of Akhikam
believed them not.
15 Then Yahuchannan the son of
Kareah spoke to Gedal’yah in Mizpah
secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray you,
and I will slay Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the
son of Nethan’yah, and no man shall
know it: Therefore should he slay you,
that all the Yahudim (Jewish people)
which are gathered to you should be
scattered, and the remnant in Yahudah
(Judah) perish?
16 But Gedal’yah the son of Akhikam
said to Yahuchannan the son of Kareah,
You shall not do this thing: for you speak
falsely of Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el).
792
Chapter 41
1 Now it came to pass in the seventh
month, that Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the
son of Nethan’yah the son of Elishama, of
the seed royal, and the princes of the
king, even ten men with him, came to
Gedal’yah the son of Akhikam to Mizpah;
and there they did eat lechem (bread)
together in Mizpah.
2 Then arose Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el)
the son of Nethan’yah, and the ten men
that were with him, and smote Gedal’yah
the son of Akhikam the son of Shaphan
with the sword, and slew him, whom the
king of Babylon had made governor over
the land.
3 Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) also slew all
the Yahudim (Jewish people) that were
with him, even with Gedal’yah, at Mizpah,
and the Chaldeans that were found there,
and the men of war.
4 And it came to pass the second day
after he had slain Gedal’yah, and no man
knew it,
5 That there came certain from
Shechem, from Shiloh, and from
Shomeron (Samaria), even fourscore
men, having their beards shaven, and
their clothes tore, and having cut
themselves, with offerings and incense in
their hand, to bring them to the house of
hwhy.
6 And Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the son of
Nethan’yah went forth from Mizpah to
meet them, weeping all along as he went:
and it came to pass, as he met them, he
said to them, Come to Gedal’yah the son
of Akhikam.
7 And it was so, when they came into
the midst of the city, that Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el) the son of Nethan’yah slew
them, and cast them into the midst of the
pit, he, and the men that were with him.
8 But ten men were found among them
that said to Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el), Slay
us not: for we have treasures in the field,
of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of
honey. So he forbear, and slew them not
among their brethren.
9 Now the pit wherein Yah’shma’el
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
(Ishma’el) had cast all the dead bodies of
the men, whom he had slain because of
Gedal’yah, was it which Asa the king had
made for fear of Baasha king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el) the son of Nethan’yah filled it
with them that were slain.
10 Then Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) carried
away captive all the residue of the people
that were in Mizpah, even the king's
daughters, and all the people that
remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan
the commander of the guard had
committed to Gedal’yah the son of
Akhikam: and Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the
son of Nethan’yah carried them away
captive, and departed to go over to the
Ammonites.
11 But when Yahuchannan the son of
Kareah, and all the commanders of the
forces that were with him, heard of all the
evil that Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the son of
Nethan’yah had done,
12 Then they took all the men, and went
to fight with Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the
son of Nethan’yah, and found him by the
great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 Now it came to pass, that when all
the people which were with Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el) saw Yahuchannan the son of
Kareah, and all the commanders of the
forces that were with him, then they were
glad.
14 So all the people that Yah’shma’el
(Ishma’el) had carried away captive from
Mizpah cast about and returned, and
went to Yahuchannan the son of Kareah.
15 But Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the son
of Nethan’yah escaped from
Yahuchannan with eight men, and went
to the Ammonites.
16 Then took Yahuchannan the son of
Kareah, and all the commanders of the
forces that were with him, all the remnant
of the people whom he had recovered
from Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the son of
Nethan’yah, from Mizpah, after that he
had slain Gedal’yah the son of Akhikam,
even mighty men of war, and the women,
and the children, and the court officials,
793
whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
17 And they departed, and dwelt in the
habitation of Kimham, which is by Beyth-
lechem (Bethlehem), to go to enter into
Mitzrayim (Egypt),
18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they
were afraid of them, because
Yah’shma’el (Ishma’el) the son of
Nethan’yah had slain Gedal’yah the son
of Akhikam, whom the king of Babylon
made governor in the land.
Chapter 42
1 Then all the commanders of the
forces, and Yahuchannan the son of
Kareah, and Yezenyahu (Jezaniah) the
son of Hosha’yah, and all the people from
the least even to the greatest, came near,
2 And said to Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the
prophet, Let, we beseech you, our
supplication be accepted before you, and
pray for us to hwhy your Elohim, even for
all this remnant; (for we are left but a few
of many, as your eyes do behold us:)
3 That hwhy your Elohim may show us
the way wherein we may walk, and the
thing that we may do.
4 Then Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the
prophet said to them, I have heard you;
behold, I will pray to the hwhy your
Elohim according to your words; and it
shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing
hwhy shall answer you, I will declare it to
you; I will keep nothing back from you.
5 Then they said to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah), hwhy be a true and faithful
witness between us, if we do not even
according to all things for the which hwhy
your Elohim shall send you to us.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be
evil, we will obey the voice of hwhy our
Elohim, to whom we send you; that it may
be well with us, when we obey the voice
of hwhy our Elohim.
7 And it came to pass after ten days that
the word of hwhy came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah).
8 Then called he Yahuchannan the son
of Kareah, and all the commanders of the
forces which were with him, and all the
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
people from the least even to the
greatest,
9 And said to them, Thus says hwhy,
the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), to whom
you sent me to present your supplication
before him;
10 If you will still abide in this land, then
will I rebuild you, and not pull you down,
and I will plant you, and not pluck you up:
for I forgo of the disaster that I have done
to you.
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon,
of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of
him, says hwhy: for I am with you to save
you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 And I will show mercies to you, that
he may have mercy upon you, and cause
you to return to your own land.
13 But if you say, We will not dwell in
this land, neither obey the voice of hwhy
your Elohim,
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), where we shall
see no war, nor hear the sound of the
shofar, nor have hunger of lechem
(bread); and there will we dwell:
15 And now therefore hear the word of
hwhy, you remnant of Yahudah (Judah);
Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); If you wholly set your
faces to enter into Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
go to sojourn there;
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the
sword, which you feared, shall overtake
you there in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt),
and the famine, whereof you were afraid,
shall follow close after you there in
Mitzrayim (Egypt); and there you shall
die.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set
their faces to go into Mitzrayim (Egypt) to
sojourn there; they shall die by the sword,
by the famine, and by the pestilence: and
none of them shall remain or escape from
the evil that I will bring upon them.
18 For thus says hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); As my anger
and my fury has been poured forth upon
the inhabitants of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem); so shall my fury be poured
794
forth upon you, when you shall enter into
Mitzrayim (Egypt): and you shall be an
execration, and an astonishment, and a
curse, and a reproach; and you shall see
this place no more.
19 hwhy has said concerning you, O
you remnant of Yahudah (Judah); Go not
into Mitzrayim (Egypt): know certainly that
I have admonished you this day.
20 For you dissembled in your hearts,
when you sent me to hwhy your Elohim,
saying, Pray for us to hwhy our Elohim;
and according to all that hwhy our Elohim
shall say, so declare to us, and we will do
it.
21 And now I have this day declared it
to you; but you have not obeyed the voice
of hwhy your Elohim, nor any thing for
the which he has sent me to you.
22 Now therefore know certainly that
you shall die by the sword, by the famine,
and by the pestilence, in the place where
you desire to go and to sojourn.
Chapter 43
1 And it came to pass, that when
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) had made an end
of speaking to all the people all the words
of hwhy their Elohim, for which hwhy
their Elohim had sent him to them, even
all these words,
2 Then spoke Azar’yah the son of
Hosha’yah, and Yahuchannan the son of
Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), You speak falsely:
hwhy our Elohim has not sent you to say,
Go not into Mitzrayim (Egypt) to sojourn
there:
3 But Baruch the son of Neri’yah sets
you on against us, for to deliver us into
the hand of the Chaldeans, that they
might put us to death, and carry us away
captives into Babylon.
4 So Yahuchannan the son of Kareah,
and all the commanders of the forces,
and all the people, obeyed not the voice
of hwhy, to dwell in the land of Yahudah
(Judah).
5 But Yahuchannan the son of Kareah,
and all the commanders of the forces,
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
took all the remnant of Yahudah (Judah),
that were returned from all nations, where
they had been driven, to dwell in the land
of Yahudah (Judah);
6 Even men, and women, and children,
and the king's daughters, and every
person that Nebuzaradan the commander
of the guard had left with Gedal’yah the
son of Akhikam the son of Shaphan, and
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet, and
Baruch the son of Neri’yah.
7 So they came into the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt): for they obeyed not
the voice of hwhy: thus came they even
to Tahpanhes.
8 Then came the word of hwhy to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) in Tahpanhes,
saying,
9 Take great stones in your hand, and
hide them in the clay in the brick kiln,
which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house
in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of
Yahudah (Judah);
10 And say to them, Thus says hwhy of
hosts, the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
Behold, I will send and take
Nebukadretzar the king of Babylon, my
servant, and will set his throne upon
these stones that I have hid; and he shall
spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 And when he comes, he shall smite
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and deliver
such as are for death to death; and such
as are for captivity to captivity; and such
as are for the sword to the sword.
12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses
of the mighty ones of Mitzrayim (Egypt);
and he shall burn them, and carry them
away captives: and he shall array himself
with the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), as a
shepherd puts on his garment; and he
shall go forth from there in shalom
(peace).
13 He shall break also the images of
Beyth-shemesh, that is in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt); and the houses of the
mighty ones of the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
shall he burn with fire.
795
Chapter 44
1 The word that came to Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) concerning all the Yahudim
(Jewish people) which dwell in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), which dwell at Migdol,
and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in
the country of Pathros, saying,
2 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel); You have seen all
the disaster that I have brought upon
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and upon all
the cities of Yahudah (Judah); and,
behold, this day they are a desolation,
and no man dwells therein,
3 Because of their wickedness which
they have committed to provoke me to
anger, in that they went to burn incense,
and to serve other mighty ones, whom
they knew not, neither they, you, nor your
ahvot (fathers).
4 But I sent to you all my servants the
prophets, rising early and sending them,
saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing
that I hate.
5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined
their ear to turn from their wickedness, to
burn no incense to other mighty ones.
6 Therefore my fury and my anger was
poured forth, and was kindled in the cities
of Yahudah (Judah) and in the streets of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem); and they are
wasted and desolate, as at this day.
7 Therefore now thus says hwhy, the
Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); Therefore commit this great evil
against your souls, to cut off from you
man and woman, child and suckling, out
of Yahudah (Judah), to leave you none to
remain;
8 In that you provoke me to wrath with
the works of your hands, burning incense
to other mighty ones in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), where you be gone to
dwell, that you might cut yourselves off,
and that you might be a curse and a
reproach among all the nations of the
earth?
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of
your ahvot (fathers), and the wickedness
of the kings of Yahudah (Judah), and the
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
wickedness of their wives, and your own
wickedness, and the wickedness of your
wives, which they have committed in the
land of Yahudah (Judah), and in the
streets of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)?
10 They are not humbled even to this
day, neither have they feared, nor walked
in my Torah, nor in my statutes, that I set
before you and before your ahvot
(fathers).
11 Therefore thus says hwhy of hosts,
the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Behold, I
will set my face against you for evil, and
to cut off all Yahudah (Judah).
12 And I will take the remnant of
Yahudah (Judah), that have set their
faces to go into the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) to sojourn there, and they shall all
be consumed, and fall in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt); they shall even be
consumed by the sword and by the
famine: they shall die, from the least even
to the greatest, by the sword and by the
famine: and they shall be an execration,
and an astonishment, and a curse, and a
reproach.
13 For I will punish them that dwell in
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), as I have
punished Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), by
the sword, by the famine, and by the
pestilence:
14 So that none of the remnant of
Yahudah (Judah), which are gone into
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) to sojourn
there, shall escape or remain, that they
should return into the land of Yahudah
(Judah), to the which they have a desire
to return to dwell there: for none shall
return but such as shall escape.
15 Then all the men which knew that
their wives had burned incense to other
mighty ones, and all the women that
stood by, a great multitude, even all the
people that dwelt in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), in Pathros, answered Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah), saying,
16 As for the word that you have spoken
to us in the name of hwhy, we will not
hearken to you.
17 But we will certainly do whatsoever
796
thing goes forth out of our own mouth, to
burn incense to the queen of shamayim
(heavens),1 and to pour out drink
offerings to her, as we have done, we,
and our ahvot (fathers), our kings, and
our princes, in the cities of Yahudah
(Judah), and in the streets of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): for then had
we plenty of supplies, and were well, and
saw no evil.
18 But since we left off to burn incense
to the queen of shamayim2 (heavens),
and to pour out drink offerings to her, we
have wanted all things, and have been
consumed by the sword and by the
famine.
19 And when we burned incense to the
queen of shamayim (heavens), and
poured out drink offerings to her, did we
make her cakes to worship her, and pour
out drink offerings to her, without our
men?
20 Then Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) said to
all the people, to the men, and to the
women, and to all the people which had
given him that answer, saying,
21 The incense that you burned in the
cities of Yahudah (Judah), and in the
streets of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), you,
and your ahvot (fathers), your kings, and
your princes, and the people of the land,
1 They were worshipping the Babylonian queen of
heaven Semaramis, who was Nimrod’s wife. This is
readily available today in the Roman Catholic
churches in the form of Mary’s statue and the feast
of her son Tamuz and in Anglican churches in the
form of the feast they celebrate called Easter.
They refuse to give up their idolatry. In the end
YHWH will punish these people and they will not
be raised unto the first resurrection but second.
There is a price for disobedience and no one gets
away with it as sin does not pay.
2 This is also how the Catholics have been taught
to think that as long as they bow to Mary they will
be well fed so here we see the women complaining
that since they have not been able to worship their
idol properly they are lacking, while these foolish
women do not discern that their lack is because
they are Torah disobedient.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
did not hwhy remember them, and came
it not into his mind?
22 So that hwhy could no longer bear,
because of the evil of your doings, and
because of the abominations which you
have committed; therefore is your land a
desolation, and an astonishment, and a
1
curse, without an inhabitant, as at this
day.
23 Because you have burned incense,
and because you have sinned against
hwhy, and have not obeyed the voice of
hwhy, nor walked in his Torah, nor in his
statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore
this evil is happened to you, as at this
day.
24 Moreover Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) said
to all the people, and to all the women,
Hear the word of hwhy, all Yahudah
(Judah) that are in the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt):
25 Thus says hwhy of hosts, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying; You and
your wives have both spoken with your
mouths, and fulfilled with your hand,
saying, We will surely perform our vows
that we have vowed, to burn incense to
the queen of shamayim (heavens), and to
pour out drink offerings to her: you will
surely accomplish your vows, and surely
perform your vows.
26 Therefore hear the word of hwhy, all
Yahudah (Judah) that dwell in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt); Behold, I have sworn
by my great name, says hwhy, that my
name shall no more be named in the
mouth of any man of Yahudah2 (Judah) in
all the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), saying,
The Master hwhy lives.
27 Behold, I will watch over them for
evil, and not for good: and all the men of
Yahudah (Judah) that are in the land of
1 The curse of Torah will fall on all those who go
into false worship or unclean practices even today
no matter what they claim is irrelevant.
2 From this time forth Yahudah concealed the
name of YHWH.
797
Mitzrayim (Egypt) shall be consumed by
the sword and by the famine, until there
be an end of them.
28 Yet a small number that escape the
sword shall return out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) into the land of
Yahudah (Judah), and all the remnant of
Yahudah (Judah), that are gone into the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) to sojourn
there, shall know whose words shall
stand, my, or their's.
29 And this shall be a sign to you, says
hwhy that I will punish you in this place
that you may know that my words shall
surely stand against you for evil:
30 Thus says hwhy; Behold, I will give
Pharaoh-hophra king of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
into the hand of his enemies, and into the
hand of them that seek his life; as I gave
Zidqi’yah king of Yahudah (Judah) into
the hand of Nebukadretzar king of
Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his
life.
Chapter 45
1 The word that Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of
Neri’yah, when he had written these
words in a scroll at the mouth of
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah), in the fourth year
of Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah), saying,
2 Thus says hwhy, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), to you, O Baruch;
3 You did say, Woe is me now! For
hwhy has added grief to my sorrow; I
fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
4 Thus shall you say to him, hwhy says
thus; Behold, that which I have built will I
break down, and that which I have
planted I will pluck up, even this whole
land.
5 And you seek great things for
yourself? Seek them not: for, behold, I
will bring disaster upon all flesh, says
hwhy: but your life will I give to you for a
prey in all places where you go.
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
Chapter 46
1 The word of hwhy which came to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet against
the Gentiles;
2 Against Mitzrayim (Egypt), against the
army of Pharaoh-Neko king of Mitzrayim
(Egypt), which was by the river Euphrates
in Carchemish, which Nebukadretzar king
of Babylon smote in the fourth year of
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) the son of
Yoshiyahu (Josiah) king of Yahudah
(Judah).
3 Order you the buckler and shield, and
draw near to battle.
4 Harness the horses; and get up, you
horsemen, and stand forth with your
helmets; furbish the spears, and put on
the brigandines.
5 Therefore have I seen them dismayed
and turned away back? And their mighty
ones are beaten down, and are fled
apace, and look not back: for fear was
round about, says hwhy.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the
mighty man escape; they shall stumble,
and fall toward the north by the river
Euphrates.
7 Who is this that comes up as a flood,
whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Mitzrayim (Egypt) rises up like a flood,
and his waters are moved like the rivers;
and he says, I will go up, and will cover
the earth; I will destroy the city and the
inhabitants thereof.
9 Go up, O horses; and rage, you
chariots; and let the mighty men come
forth; Cush (Sudan) and Put (Libyans),
that handle the shield; and the Turks
(Lydians), that handle and bend the bow.
10 For this is the day of Master hwhy of
hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may
avenge him of his adversaries: and the
sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate
and made drunk with their blood: for
Master hwhy of hosts has a sacrifice in
the north country by the river Euphrates.

11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O
virgin, the daughter of Mitzrayim (Egypt):
in vain shall you use many medicines; for
you shall not be cured.
12 The nations have heard of your
shame, and your cry has filled the land:
for the mighty man has stumbled against
the mighty, and they are fallen both
together.
13 The word that hwhy spoke to
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) the prophet, how
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon should
come and smite the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
14 Declare in Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
proclaim in Migdol, and proclaim in Noph
and in Tahpanhes: say, Stand fast, and
prepare; for the sword shall devour round
about you.
15 Why are your valiant men swept
away? They stood not, because hwhy did
drive them.
16 He made many to fall, yes, one fell
upon another: and they said, Arise, and
let us go again to our own people, and to
the land of our nativity, from the
oppressing sword.
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) is but a noise; he has
passed the time appointed.
18 As I live, says the King, whose name
is hwhy of hosts, Surely as Tabor is
among the mountains, and as Carmel by
the sea, so shall he come.
19 O you daughter dwelling in Mitzrayim
(Egypt), furnish yourself to go into
captivity: for Noph shall be waste and
desolate without an inhabitant.
20 Mitzrayim (Egypt) is like a very fair
heifer, but destruction comes; it comes
out of the north.
21 Also her hired men are in the midst
of her like fatted bullocks; for they also
are turned back, and are fled away
together: they did not stand, because the
1 day of their calamity was come upon
them, and the time of their visitation.
22 The voice thereof shall go like a
serpent; for they shall march with an
army, and come against her with axes, as
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
woodcutters.
23 They shall cut down her forest, says
hwhy, though it cannot be searched;
because they are more numerous than
locusts and a multitude without count.1
24 The daughter of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
shall be confounded; she shall be
delivered into the hand of the people of
the north.
25 hwhy of hosts, the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), says; Behold, I will
punish the multitude of Ammon of No,2
and Pharaoh, and Mitzrayim (Egypt), with
their mighty ones, and their kings; even
Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
26 And I will deliver them into the hand
of those that seek their lives, and into the
hand of Nebukadretzar king of Babylon,
and into the hand of his servants: and
afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the
days of old, says hwhy.
27 But fear not you, O my servant
Ya’acob (Jacob), and be not dismayed, O
Yah’sar’el (Israel): for, behold, I will save
you from afar off, and your seed from the
land of their captivity; and Ya’acob
(Jacob) shall return, and be in rest and at
ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 Fear not, O Ya’acob (Jacob) my
servant, says hwhy: for I am with you; for
I will make a full end of all the nations
where I have driven you: but I will not
make a full end of you, but correct you in
measure; yet will I not leave you wholly
unpunished.

land shall howl.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the
hoofs of his strong war horses, at the
rushing of his chariots, and at the
rumbling of his wheels, the ahvot
(fathers) shall not look back to their
children for weakness of hands;
4 Because of the day that comes to
spoil all the Plushtim (Philistines), and to
cut off from Tyrus and Sidon every helper
that remains: for hwhy will spoil the
Plushtim (Philistines), the remnant of the
country of Caphtor.
5 The people of Azzah (Gaza) will
shave their heads in mourning; Ashkelon
is cut off with the remnant of their valley:
how long will you cut yourself?
6 O you sword of hwhy, how long will it
be before you stop killing? Go back into
your sheath, rest, and be still.
7 How can it be quiet, seeing hwhy has
given it a charge against Ashkelon, and
against the sea shore? There has he
appointed it.
Chapter 48
1 Against Moab thus says hwhy of
hosts, the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
Woe to Nebo!3 for it is spoiled:
Qiryathayim4 is confounded and taken:
Misgab5 is confounded and dismayed.
2 There shall be no more praise of
Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil
against it; come, and let us cut it off from
being a nation. Also you shall be cut
down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue
you.

3 A voice of crying shall be from
Horonayim, spoiling and great
destruction.
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones
have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For in the ascent of Luhith continual
weeping shall go up; for in the going
down of Horonayim the enemies have
heard a cry of destruction.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the
heath in the wilderness.
7 For because you have trusted in your
works and in your treasures, you shall
also be taken: and Kemosh shall go forth
into captivity with his kohenim (priests)
and his princes together. 1 17 All you that are about him, bemoan
8 And the spoiler shall come upon every
city, and no city shall escape: the valley
also shall perish, and the plain shall be
destroyed, as hwhy has spoken.
9 Give wings to Moab that it may flee
and get away: for the cities thereof shall
be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 Cursed be he that does the work of
hwhy deceitfully, and cursed be he that
Keeps back his sword from blood.
11 Moab has been at ease from his
youth, and he has settled on his dregs,
and has not been emptied from vessel to
vessel, neither has he gone into captivity:
therefore his taste remained in him, and
his scent is not changed.

27 For was not Yah’sar’el (Israel) a
derision to you? Was he found among
thieves? For since you spoke of him, you
skipped for joy.
28 O you that dwell in Moab, leave the
cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like
the dove that makes her nest in the sides
of the hole's mouth.
29 We have heard the pride of Moab,
(he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and
his arrogance, and his pride, and the
pride of his heart.
30 I know his wrath, says hwhy; but it
shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect
it.
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I
will cry out for all Moab; my heart shall
mourn for the men of Kir-heres.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for you
with the weeping of Yazer: your plants
are gone over the sea, they reach even to
the sea of Yazer: the spoiler is fallen
upon your summer fruits and upon your
grape harvest.
33 And joy and gladness is taken from
the plentiful field, and from the land of
Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from
the winepresses: none shall tread with
shouting; their shouting shall be no
shouting.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even to
Elaleh, and even to Yahatz, have they
uttered their voice, from Zoar even to
Horonayim, as an heifer of three years
old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be
desolate.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in
Moab, says hwhy, him that offers in the
high places, and him that burns incense
to his mighty ones.
36 Therefore my heart shall sound for
Moab like a flute playing a funeral song,
and my heart shall sound like flutes for
the men of Kir-heres: because the riches
that he has gotten are perished.
37 For every head shall be shaved, and
every beard clipped: upon all the hands
shall be cuttings, and upon the loins
sackcloth.
801
38 There shall be lamentation generally
upon all the housetops of Moab, and in
the streets thereof: for I have broken
Moab like a vessel wherein is no
pleasure, says hwhy.
39 They shall howl, saying, How is it
broken down! How has Moab turned the
back with shame! So shall Moab be a an
object of ridicule and a terror to all
nations roundabout him.
40 For thus says hwhy; Behold, like an
eagle with wings spread a nation will
swoop down over Moab.1
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds
are surprised, and the mighty men's
hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the
heart of a woman in child birth.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from
being a people, because he has
magnified himself against hwhy.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare,
shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab,
says hwhy.
44 He that escapes from the fear shall
fall into the pit; and he that gets up out of
the pit shall be taken in the trap: for I will
bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year
of their visitation, says hwhy.
45 They that fled stood under the
shadow of Heshbon because of the force:
but a fire shall come forth out of
Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of
Sihon, and shall devour the corner of
Moab, and the crown of the head of the
sons of uproar.2
46 Woe be to you, O Moab! The people
of Kemosh perish: for your sons are
taken captives, and your daughters
captives.

1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus says
hwhy; Has Yah’sar’el (Israel) no sons?
Has he no heir? Why then does their king
inherit Gawd, and his people dwell in his
cities?
2 Therefore, behold, the days come,
says hwhy, that I will cause an alarm of
war to be heard in Rabbah of the
Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate
heap, and her daughters shall be burned
with fire: then shall Yah’sar’el (Israel) be
heir to them that were his heirs, says
hwhy.
3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled:
cry, you daughters of Rabbah, gird you
with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro
by the hedges; for their king shall go into
captivity, and his kohenim (priests) and
his princes together.
4 Therefore glory you in the valleys,
your flowing valley, O backsliding
daughter? That trusted in her treasures,
saying, Who shall come to me?
5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon you,
says Master hwhy of hosts, from all those
that be roundabout you; and you shall be
driven out every man right forth; and
none shall gather up him that wanders.
6 And afterward I will end the ill fate of
the children of Ammon, says hwhy.
7 Concerning Edom, thus says hwhy of
hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is
counsel perished from the prudent? Is
their wisdom vanished?
8 Escape, turn around, dwell deep, O
inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the
calamity of Esav upon him, the time that I

10 But I have made Esav naked, I have
uncovered his secret places, and he shall
not be able to hide himself: his seed is
spoiled, and his brethren, and his
neighbours, and he is not.2
11 Leave your fatherless children, I will
preserve them alive; and let your widows
trust in me.
12 For thus says hwhy; Behold, they
whose judgment was not to drink of the
cup have assuredly drunk; and are you
he that shall altogether go unpunished?
You shall not go unpunished, but you
shall surely drink from the cup of my
wrath.
13 For I have sworn by myself, says
hwhy, that Bozrah shall become a
desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a
curse; and all the cities thereof shall be
perpetual wastes.3
14 I have heard a rumour from hwhy,
and an ambassador is sent to the
nations, saying, Gather together, and
come against her, and rise up to the
battle.4
15 For, lo, I will make you small among
the nations, and despised among men.

deceived you, and the pride of your heart,
O you that dwell in the clefts of the rock
that hold the height of the hills: though
you should make your nest as high as the
eagle, I will bring you down from there,
says hwhy.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation:
every one that goes by it shall be
horrified, and shall hiss at all the
destruction and disease there.

take away: they shall take to themselves

they were wrong all along with the other deceived
in Christianity and that Jeremiah puts them
straight in one if anyone cares to read it. Thank
you Jeremiah! They are coming from the EAST just
as Hoshea said they would and there is no such
thing as a rapture but there is such thing as travel
on foot back to Israel and a return to the land in
great numbers just as it was in the time of
Pharaoh of Egypt. So what is it going to take to
bring them back the sons of the lion of Judah? It is
going to take Lions not mice. This is what it will
take brave leaders to stand up and go and setup
bases in the East and to raise the flocks there and

hwhy, the iniquity of Yah’sar’el (Israel)

This tiny nation (UK) whom YHWH calls a “great
nation,” is great for obvious reasons, as it had
many blessings of YHWH upon it. The UK
practically ruled the world once, yet when you look
at its size now, it is much smaller than Texas. Was
it not this “great nation” that decimated the large
and best Armada Spain had to offer at a time
when Spain ruled the ocean waves. Yet YHWH
proved them wrong, by using a small nation to
judge the mighty Spanish, who’s Armada was sunk
by British ships that were few in number.
This was Spain’s judgment for cursing YHWH’s
covenant people (the Jews), by expelling them in
1492 and forcing them to convert to Roman
Catholicism, or face death.
YHWH used the British Navy in 1588 as the
weapons of His indignation to eradicate and sunk
Spain’s great Armada under Queen Elizabeth I
putting Spain out of business for good. Yahweh
said in Genesis 12:3a I will curse those that curse
thee, and this is literally fulfilled in that nation.
Nevertheless YHWH will give Spain another chance
to show themselves worthy. To go to war with the
Jews on the wrong pretext, is to go to war with
Yahweh and inevitably one will face certain defeat.
This is not because Israel is great, but because the
Elohim of Israel, Yahweh Elohim revealed in
Yahushua the Messiah, is a great YHWH. He will
protect His own, even though at times He has
given them over to judgment for their sins. Yet not
all His people deserve judgment, and thus YHWH
always protects His remnant. The UK decimated
battle ready sea Harrier Jets that turned the war in
their favor. Many at that time were saying the
Harrier as a fighter is unworthy, clumsy, and
overweight. But look what YHWH can do when He
wants this “great nation” to win. He will turn the
tide and the scoffers can scoff all they can.

mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea,
and they shall ride upon horses, every
one put in array, like a man to the battle,
against you, O daughter of Babylon.1
43 The king of Babylon has heard the
report of them, and his hands waxed
feeble: anguish took hold of him, and
pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion
from the swelling of Yardan (Jordan) to
the habitation of the strong: but I will
make them suddenly run away from her:
and who is a chosen man that I may
appoint over her? For who is like me?
And who will appoint me the time? And
who is that shepherd that will stand
before me?
45 Therefore hear the counsel of hwhy
that he has taken against Babylon; and
his purposes, that he has purposed
against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely
the least of the flock shall draw them out:
surely he shall make their habitation
desolate with them.2
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon
the earth is moved, and the cry is heard
among the nations.

1 Thus says hwhy; Behold, I will raise
up against Babylon, and against them
that dwell in the midst of them that rise up
against me, a destructive wind;3
2 And will send to Babylon fanners4 that
shall fan her, and shall empty her land:
for in the day of trouble they shall be
against her round about.

Arabia. A clear cut reference to destruction coming
upon Arabia from the alliance in the West. US will

the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust
through in her streets.
5 For Yah’sar’el (Israel) has not been
forsaken, nor Yahudah (Judah) of his
Elohim, of hwhy of hosts; though their
land was filled with sin against the Set-
Apart One of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
6 Escape out of the midst of Babylon,
and let everyman save himself: be not cut
off in her iniquity; for this is the time of
hwhy's vengeance; he will render to her a
recompense.
7 Babylon has been a golden cup in
hwhy's hand that made all the earth

drunk: the nations have drunk of her
wine; therefore the nations are mad.6
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and
destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her
pain, if so be she may be healed.7

she is not healed: forsake her, and let us
go every one into his own country: for her

Babylon, make the watch strong, set up
the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for

which he spoke against the inhabitants of
Babylon.

and the measure of your covetousness.
14 hwhy of hosts has sworn by himself,
saying, Surely I will fill you with men, as
with locusts; and they shall lift up a shout
against you.
15 He has made the earth by his power,
he has established the world by his
wisdom, and has stretched out the
shamayim (heavens) by his
understanding.
16 When he utters his voice, there is a
multitude of waters in the heavens; and
he cause the vapours to ascend from the
ends of the earth: he makes lightnings
with rain, and brings forth the wind out of
his treasures.

28 Prepare against her the nations with
the kings of the Medes, the commanders
thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all
the land of his dominion.3
29 And the land shall tremble and
sorrow: for every purpose of hwhy shall
be performed against Babylon, to make
the land of Babylon a desolation without
an inhabitant.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have
ceased to fight, they have remained in
their strongholds: their might has failed;
they became as women: they have
burned her dwelling places; her bars are
broken.
31 One post shall run to meet another,
and one messenger to meet another, to
show the king of Babylon that his city is
taken at one end,
1 The mountainous range that runs between
Armenia and Iran. This indicates to us that Elohim
will join the medes, which are today’s Kurdi people
to fight Saudi Arabia one day. The Kurds live on
the northern borders of Iran which is the range
known as the kingdom of Ararat. They will become
allies with America and the European alliance of
nations such as the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain,
Denmark, and Holland etc.
2 IBID page 113 Yahweh will bring Ararat, Mini i.e.
the Armenians who were butchered by the Muslims
in great numbers up to 1.5 million or more and he
will call the European nations alongside to fight
and destroy Iraq (Babylon) will lie in ruins and the
“daughter of Babylon” (Saudi Arabia) the harlot
province will be hit very hard.

that is Kurdis that will fight Iraq and will also
attack Saudi Arabia in some way.
32 And that the passages are stopped,
and the reeds they have burned with fire,
and the men of war are afraid.
33 For thus says hwhy of hosts, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel); The
daughter of Babylon is like a threshing
floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little
while, and the time of her harvest shall
come.
34 Nebukadretzar the king of Babylon
has devoured me, he has crushed me, he
has made me an empty vessel, he has
swallowed me up like a dragon, he has
filled his belly with my delicates, he has
cast me out.
35 The violence done to me and to my
flesh be upon Babylon, shall the
inhabitant of Tsiyon say; and my blood
upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) say.
36 Therefore thus says hwhy; Behold, I
will plead your cause, and take
vengeance for you; and I will dry up her
sea, and make her springs dry.
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a
dwelling place for jackals, an
astonishment, and an hissing, without an
inhabitant.
38 They shall roar together like lions:
they shall yell as lion’s cubs.
39 In their heat I will make their feasts,
and I will make them drunk, that they may
rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and
not wake, says hwhy.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to
the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41 How is Sheshach taken! And how is
the praise of the whole earth surprised!
how is Babylon become an astonishment
among the nations!
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon:
she is covered with the multitude of the
waves thereof.
43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry
land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no
man dwells, neither does any son of man
pass thereby.
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and
I will bring forth out of his mouth that
which he has swallowed up: and the

nations shall not flow together any more
to him: yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
45 My people, go out of the midst of her,
and deliver every man his soul from the
fierce anger of hwhy.
46 And lest your heart weary, and you
fear for the rumour that shall be heard in
the land; a rumour shall both come one
year, and after that in another year shall
come a rumour, and violence in the land,
ruler against ruler.
47 Therefore, behold, the days come,
that I will do judgment upon the graven
images of Babylon: and her whole land
shall be confounded, and all her slain
shall fall in the midst of her.
48 Then the shamayim (heavens) and
the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing
for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come to
her from the north, says hwhy.
49 As Babylon has caused the slain of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to fall, so at Babylon
shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 You that have escaped the sword,
go away, stand not still: remember hwhy
afar off, and let Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) come into your mind.
51 We are confounded, because we
have heard reproach: shame has covered
our faces: for strangers are come into the
sanctuaries of hwhy's house.
1 IBID Page 47: The only place on earth that has
ever been called Babylon has been Iraq and by
extension Saudi Arabia has been referred to as the
“daughter of Babylon.” Sometimes Yahweh sees
Babylon as the nation of Saudi Arabia, but the
whole Islamic kingdom has been referred to as
Mount Seir, Mount Esau, or even Edom, but the
Master has never called any western nation
Babylon. In fact it will be incredibly ignorant to
place Babylon in Europe to believe that Babylon
shifted 5000 miles to the North or even to the USA
some 10000 miles away! This is only in the
imagination of those who have no understanding
of true Babylon and its end-time goals. In order to
justify any such theory we must have proof from
Scripture, but we have none. Yahweh even names
the location of end time Babylon so no one need
be confused.
52 Therefore, behold, the days come,
1 says hwhy, that I will do right-ruling upon
her graven images: and through all her
land the wounded shall groan.
53 Though Babylon should Mount up to
shamayim (heavens), and though she
should fortify the height of her strength,
yet from me shall spoilers come to her,
says hwhy.
54 A sound of a cry comes from
Babylon, and great destruction from the
land of the Chaldeans:
55 Because hwhy has spoiled Babylon,
and destroyed out of her the great voice;
when her waves do roar like great waters,
a noise of their voice is uttered:
56 Because the spoiler is come upon
her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty
men are taken, every one of their bows is
broken: for hwhy El of recompense, he
shall surely repay.
57 And I will make drunk her princes,
and her wise men, her commanders, and
her rulers, and her mighty men: and they
shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not
wake, says the King, whose name is the
hwhy of hosts.
58 Thus says hwhy of hosts; The broad
walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken,
and her high gates shall be burned with
fire; and the people shall labour in vain,
and the folk in the fire, and they shall be
weary.
59 The word which Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) the prophet commanded
Serai’yah the son of Neri’yah, the son of
Maase’yah, when he went with Zidqi’yah
the king of Yahudah (Judah) into Babylon
in the fourth year of his reign. And this
Serai’yah was a quiet prince.
60 So Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) wrote in a
scroll all the evil that should come upon
Babylon, even all these words that are
written against Babylon.
61 And Yirme’yah (Jeremiah) said to
Serai’yah, When you come to Babylon,
and shall see, and shall read all these
words;
62 Then shall you say, O hwhy, you
have spoken against this place, to cut it
811
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
off, that none shall remain in it, neither
man nor beast, but that it shall be
desolate forever.
63 And it shall be, when you have made
an end of reading this scroll, that you
shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the
midst of Euphrates:
64 And you shall say, Thus shall
Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the
evil that I will bring upon her: and they
shall be weary. Thus far are the words of
Yirme’yah (Jeremiah).
Chapter 52
1 Zidqi’yah was twenty one years old
when he began to reign, and he reigned
eleven years in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem). And his mother's name was
Hamutal the daughter of Yirme’yah
(Jeremiah) of Libnah.
2 And he did that which was evil in the
eyes of hwhy, according to all that
Yahuyakim (Jehoiakim) had done.
3 For through the anger of hwhy it came
to pass in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) and
Yahudah (Judah), till he had cast them
out from his presence that Zidqi’yah
rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year
of his reign, in the tenth month, in the
tenth day of the month, that
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon came, he
and all his army, against Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and pitched against it, and
built siege ramps against it round about.
5 So the city was besieged to the
eleventh year of king Zidqi’yah.
6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth
day of the month, the famine was sore in
the city, so that there was no lechem
(bread) for the people of the land.
7 Then the city was broken up, and all
the men of war fled, and went forth out of
the city by night by the way of the gate
between the two walls, which was by the
king's garden; now the Chaldeans were
by the city round about: and they went by
the way of the plain.
8 But the army of the Chaldeans
pursued after the king, and overtook
812
Zidqi’yah in the plains of Yericho
(Jericho); and all his army was scattered
from him.
9 Then they took the king, and carried
him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in
the land of Hamath; where he
pronounced judgment upon him.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the
sons of Zidqi’yah before his eyes: he slew
also all the princes of Yahudah (Judah) in
Riblah.
11 Then he put out the eyes of
Zidqi’yah; and the king of Babylon bound
him in chains, and carried him to
Babylon, and put him in prison till the day
of his death.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth
day of the month, which was the
nineteenth year of Nebukadretzar king of
Babylon, came Nebuzaradan,
commander of the guard, which served
the king of Babylon, into Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem),
13 And burned the house of hwhy, and
the king's house; and all the houses of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and all the
houses of the great men, burned he with
fire:
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans
that were with the commander of the
guard broke down all the walls of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) round about.
15 Then Nebuzaradan the commander
of the guard carried away captive certain
of the poor of the people, and the residue
of the people that remained in the city,
and those that fell away, that fell to the
king of Babylon, and the rest of the
multitude.
16 But Nebuzaradan the commander of
the guard left certain of the poor of the
land for vinedressers and for
husbandmen.
17 Also the two pillars of bronze that
were in the house of hwhy, and the
bases, and the brazen sea that was in the
house of hwhy, the Chaldeans broke,
and carried all the brass of them to
Babylon.
18 The caldrons also, and the shovels,
 Yirme’yah (Jeremiah)
and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the
ladles, and all the vessels of brass
wherewith they ministered, took they
away.
19 And the basins, and the fire pans,
and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the
candlesticks, and the spoons, and the
cups; that which was of gold in gold, and
that which was of silver in silver, took the
commander of the guard away.
20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve
brazen bulls that were under the bases,
which king Sul’ahmon (Solomon) had
made in the house of hwhy: the brass of
all these vessels was without weight.
21 And concerning the pillars, the height
of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a
fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and
the thickness thereof was four fingers: it
was hollow.
22 And a capital of brass was upon it;
and the height of one capital was five
cubits, with network and pomegranates
upon the capitals round about, all of
brass. The second pillar also and the
pomegranates were like to these.
23 And there were ninety and six
pomegranates on a side; and all the
pomegranates upon the network were an
hundred round about.
24 And the commander of the guard
took Serai’yah the chief kohen (priest),
and Tsephan’yah the second kohen
(priest), and the three keepers of the
door:
25 He took also out of the city a court
official, which had the charge of the men
of war; and seven men of them that were
near the king's person, which were found
in the city; and the principal scribe of the
armies, who mustered the people of the
land; and threescore men of the people of
the land, that were found in the midst of
813
the city.
26 So Nebuzaradan the commander of
the guard took them, and brought them to
the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27 And the king of Babylon smote them,
and put them to death in Riblah in the
land of Hamath. Thus Yahudah (Judah)
was carried away captive out of his own
land.
28 This is the people whom
Nebukadretzar carried away captive: in
the seventh year three thousand twenty
three Yahudim (Jewish people):
29 In the eighteenth year of
Nebukadretzar he carried away captive
from Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) eight
hundred thirty two persons:
30 In the twentieth third year of
Nebukadretzar Nebuzaradan the
commander of the guard carried away
captive of the Yahudim (Jewish people)
seven hundred forty five persons: all the
persons were four thousand six hundred.
31 And it came to pass in the thirty
seventh year of the captivity of Yaukin
(Jehoiachin) king of Yahudah (Judah), in
the twelfth month, in the and twenty-fifth
day of the month, that Evil-merodach king
of Babylon in the first year of his reign
lifted up the head of Yaukin (Jehoiachin)
king of Yahudah (Judah), and brought
him forth out of prison,
32 And spoke kindly to him, and set his
throne above the throne of the kings that
were with him in Babylon,
33 And changed his prison garments:
and he did continually eat lechem (bread)
before him all the days of his life.
34 And for his diet, there was a
continual diet given him of the king of
Babylon, every day a portion until the day
of his death, all the days of his life. ‫ת‬

1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth
year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day
of the month, as I was among the exiles
by the river of Khebar,2 that the heavens
were opened, and I saw visions of
Elohim.
2 In the fifth day of the month, which
was the fifth year of king Yaukin
(Jehoiachin)'s captivity,
3 The word of hwhy came expressly to
Ezekiel the kohen (priest), the son of
Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the
river Khebar; and the hand of hwhy was
there upon him.
4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind
came out of the north, a great cloud, and
a fire flashing itself, and a brightness was
about it, and out of the midst thereof as
the colour of amber, out of the midst of
the fire.
5 Also out of the midst thereof came the
likeness of four living creatures. And this
was their appearance; they had the
likeness of a man.
6 And every one had four faces, and
every one had four wings.
7 And their feet were straight feet; and
the sole of their feet was like the sole of a
calf's foot: and they sparkled like the
colour of shining bronze.
1 The Rabbis of Israel advice caution on the study
of this chapter as the symbols and signs are a little
difficult for people to grasp as we begin to see
inside the Sefirotic tree. We are shown some very
interesting pictures and symbols of the Messiah of
Israel.

8 And they had the hands of a man
under their wings on their four sides; and
they four had their faces and their wings.
9 Their wings were joined one to
another; they turned not when they went;
they went every one straight forward.
10 As for the likeness of their faces,
they four had the face of a man, and the
face of a lion, on the right side:3 and they
four had the face of an ox on the left side;
they four also had the face of an eagle.4
11 Thus were their faces: and their
wings were stretched upward; two wings
of every one were joined one to another,
and two covered their bodies.
12 And they went every one straight
forward: where the Ruach (Spirit) was to
go, they went; and they turned not when
they went.
13 As for the likeness of the living
creatures, their appearance was like
burning coals of fire, and like the
appearance of torches: moving back and
forth among the living creatures; and the
fire was bright, and out of the fire went
forth lightning.
14 And the living creatures ran and
returned as the appearance of a flash of
lightning.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures,
behold one wheel upon the earth by the
living creatures, with his four faces.
16 The appearance of the wheels and
their work was like to the colour of a
beryl: and they four had one likeness:
and their appearance and their work was
as it were a wheel in the middle of a
wheel.
17 When they went, they went upon
their four sides: and they turned not when
they went.
18 As for their rings, they were so high
that they were dreadful; and their rings
3 We are shown faces of Judgment and mercy in
the sefirotic tree.
4 This has nothing to do with Alien encounters
though the nations keep running with such ideas.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
were full of eyes round about them four.
19 And when the living creatures went,
the wheels went by them: and when the
living creatures were lifted up from the
earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20 Wherever the Ruach (Spirit) was to
go, they went, there was their Ruach
(Spirit) to go; and the wheels were lifted
up over against them: for the Ruach
(Spirit) of the living creature was in the
wheels.
21 When those went, these went; and
when those stood, these stood; and when
those were lifted up from the earth, the
wheels were lifted up over against them:
for the Ruach (Spirit) of the living creature
was in the wheels.
22 And the likeness of the firmament
upon the heads of the living creature was
as the colour of the awesome crystal,
stretched forth over their heads above.
23 And under the firmament were their
wings straight, the one toward the other:
every one had two, which covered on this
side, and every one had two, which
covered on that side, their bodies.
24 And when they went, I heard the
noise of their wings, like the noise of
great waters, as the voice of the El-
Shaddai (Almighty), the voice of speech,
as the noise of armies: when they stood,
they let down their wings.
25 And there was a voice from the
firmament that was over their heads,
when they stood, and had let down their
wings.
26 And above the firmament that was
over their heads was the likeness of a
throne, as the appearance of a sapphire
stone:1 and upon the likeness of the
throne was the likeness as the
appearance of a man above upon it. 2 7 And you shall speak my words to
27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as
the appearance of fire round about within

815
it, from the appearance of his loins even
upward, and from the appearance of his
loins even downward, I saw as it were the
appearance of fire, and it had brightness
round about.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is
in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the
appearance of the brightness round
about. This was the appearance of the
likeness of the glory of hwhy. And when I
saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a
voice of one that spoke.3
Chapter 2
1 And he said to me, Son of man, stand
upon your feet, and I will speak to you.
2 And the Ruach (Spirit) entered into me
when he spoke to me, and set me upon
my feet, that I heard him that spoke to
me.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, I send
you to the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
to a rebellious nation that has rebelled
against me: they and their ahvot (fathers)
have transgressed against me, even to
this very day.
4 For they are obstinate children and
hard hearted. I do send you to them; and
you shall say to them, Thus says Master
hwhy.
5 And they, whether they will hear, or
whether they will forbear, for they are a
rebellious house, yet shall know that
there has been a prophet among them.
6 And you, son of man, be not afraid of
them, neither be afraid of their words,
though briers and thorns surround you,
and you dwell among the scorpions: be
not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed
at their looks, though they be a rebellious
house.
them, whether they will hear, or whether
they will rebel: for they are most
rebellious.
3 We need to understand He is not called Jesus
but called YHWH.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
8 But you, son of man, hear what I say
to you; Be not you rebellious like that
1
rebellious house: open your mouth, and
eat that I give you.
9 And when I looked, behold, a hand
was sent to me; and, lo, a scroll was
therein;
10 And he spread it before me; and it
was written on both sides: and there was
written therein lamentations, and
mourning, and woe.
Chapter 3
1 Moreover he said to me, Son of man,
eat that you find; eat this scroll, and go
speak to the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 So I opened my mouth, and he
caused me to eat that roll.
3 And he said to me, Son of man, cause
your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with
this roll that I give you. Then did I eat it;
and it was in my mouth as honey for
sweetness.
4 And he said to me, Son of man, go,
get you to the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
and speak with my words to them.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a
strange speech and of an hard language,
but to the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel); 2 bitterness, in the heat of my Ruach
6 Not to many people of a strange
speech and of an hard language, whose
words you cannot understand. Surely,
had I sent you to them, they would have
hearkened to you.

not hearken to you; for they will not
hearken to me: for all the house of

hearted.
8 Behold, I have made your face strong
against their faces, and your forehead
strong against their foreheads.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I
made your forehead: fear them not,
neither be dismayed at their looks,
though they be a rebellious house.
10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man,
all my words that I shall speak to you
receive in your heart, and hear with your
ears.
11 And go, get to them of the captivity,
to the children of your people, and speak
to them, and tell them, Thus says Master
hwhy; whether they will hear, or whether
they will forbear.
12 Then the Ruach (Spirit) took me up,
and I heard behind me a voice of a great
rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of
hwhy from his place.
13 I heard also the noise of the wings of
the living creatures that touched one
another, and the noise of the wheels over
against them, and a noise of a great
rushing.
14 So the Ruach (Spirit) lifted me up,
and took me away, and I went in
(Spirit); but the hand of hwhy was strong
upon me.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity
at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of
Khebar, and I sat where they sat, and
remained there astonished among them
seven days.
16 And it came to pass at the end of
seven days, that the word of hwhy came
to me, saying,
17 Son of man, I have made you a
watchman to the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): therefore hear the word at my
mouth, and give them warning from me.
18 When I say to the wicked, You shall
surely die; and you give him not warning,
nor speak to warn the wicked from his
wicked way, to save his life; the same
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but
his blood will I require at your hand. 1 him rebel: for they are a rebellious house.
19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he
turn not from his wickedness, nor from his
wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity;
but you have delivered your soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man does
turn from his righteousness, and commit
iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block
before him, he shall die: because you
have not given him warning, he shall die
in his sin, and his righteousness which he
has done shall not be remembered; but
his blood will I require at your hand.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the
righteous man, that the righteous sin not,
and he does not sin, he shall surely live,
because he is warned; also you have
delivered your soul.
22 And the hand of hwhy was there
upon me; and he said to me, Arise, go
forth into the plain, and I will talk with you
there.
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the
plain: and, behold, the glory of hwhy
stood there, as the glory which I saw by
the river of Khebar: and I fell on my face.
24 Then the Ruach (Spirit) entered into
me, and set me upon my feet, and spoke
with me, and said to me, Go, shut
yourself within your house.
25 But you, O son of man, behold, they
shall put bands upon you, and shall bind
you with them, and you shall not go out
among them:
26 And I will make your tongue cleave
to the roof of your mouth, that you shall
be dumb, and shall not be to them a
reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
27 But when I speak with you, I will
open your mouth, and you shall say to
them, Thus says Master hwhy; He that

around us to be obedient to Torah also. If we
remain in a closet and the wicked person dies in

Chapter 4
1 You also, son of man, take a clay
tablet, and lay it before you, and portray
upon it the city, even Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem):
2 And lay siege against it, and build a
fort against it, and cast a siege ramp
against it; set the camp also against it,
and set battering rams against it round
about.
3 Moreover take to you an iron plate,
and set it for a wall of iron between you
and the city: and set your face against it,
and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay
siege against it. This shall be a sign to
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
4 Lie also upon your left side, and lay
the iniquity of the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) upon it: according to the number
of the days that you shall lie upon it you
shall bear their iniquity.2
5 For I have laid upon you the years of
their iniquity, according to the number of
the days, three hundred and ninety days:
so shall you bear the iniquity of the house
of Yah’sar’el (Israel).3
6 And when you have accomplished
them, lie again on your right side, and
you shall bear the iniquity of the house of
Yahudah (Judah) forty days: I have
appointed you each day for a year.
7 Therefore you shall set your face
toward the siege of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and your arm shall be
uncovered, and you shall prophesy

against it.
8 And, behold, I will tie you up with
ropes, and you shall not turn from one
side to another, till you have ended the
days of your siege.
9 Take also to you wheat, and barley,
and beans, and lentils, and millet, and
spelt, and put them in one vessel, and
make you lechem (bread) thereof,
according to the number of the days that
you shall lie upon your side, three
hundred and ninety days shall you eat
thereof.
10 And your food which you shall eat
shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day:
from time to time shall you eat it.
11 You shall drink also mayim (water)
by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from
time to time shall you drink.
12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes,
and you shall bake it with human
excrement, in their sight.
13 And hwhy said, Even thus shall the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) eat their
defiled lechem (bread) among the
nations, where I will drive them.
14 Then said I, Ah Master hwhy!
Behold, my soul has not been polluted:
for from my youth up even till now have I
not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is
tore in pieces; neither came there
abominable flesh into my mouth.
15 Then he said to me, Lo, I have given
you cow's dung for man's dung, and you
shall prepare your lechem (bread)
therewith.
16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man,
behold, I will break the staff of lechem
(bread) in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): and
they shall eat lechem (bread) by weight,
and with care; and they shall drink mayim
(water) by measure, and with
astonishment:
17 That they may want lechem (bread)
and mayim (water), and be appalled with
one another, and consume away for their
iniquity.

Chapter 5
1 And you, son of man, take a sharp
knife, take a barber's razor, and cause it
to pass upon your head and upon your
beard: then take you balances to weigh,
and divide the hair.
2 You shall burn with fire a third part in
the midst of the city, when the days of the
siege are fulfilled: and you shall take a
third part, and smite about it with a knife:
and a third part you shall scatter in the
wind; and I will draw out a sword after
them.
3 You shall also take thereof a few in
number, and bind them in the edge of
your garments.
4 Then take of them again, and cast
them into the midst of the fire, and burn
them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire
come forth into all the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
5 Thus says Master hwhy; This is
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): I have set it in
the midst of the nations and countries
that are roundabout her.
6 And she has changed my judgments
into wickedness more than the nations,
and my statutes more than the countries
that are round about her: for they have
refused my judgments and my statutes,
they have not walked in them.
7 Therefore thus says Master hwhy;
Because you multiplied more than the
nations that are round about you, and
have not walked in my statutes, neither
have kept my judgments, neither have
done according to the judgments of the
nations that are round about you;
8 Therefore thus says Master hwhy;
Behold, I, even I, am against you, and will
execute judgments in the midst of you in
the sight of the nations.
9 And I will do in you that which I have
not done, and whereunto I will not do any
more the like, because of all your
abominations.
10 Therefore the ahvot (fathers) shall
eat the sons in the midst of you, and the
sons shall eat their ahvot (fathers); and I
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
will execute judgments in you, and the
whole remnant of you will I scatter into all
the winds.
11 Therefore, as I live, says Master
hwhy; Surely, because you have defiled
my sanctuary with all your detestable
things, and with all your abominations,
therefore will I also diminish you; neither
shall my eye spare, neither will I have any
pity.
12 A third part of you shall die with the
disease, and with scarcity of food shall
they be consumed in the midst of you:
and a third part shall fall by the sword
round about you; and I will scatter a third
part into all the winds, and I will draw out
a sword after them.
13 Thus shall my anger be
accomplished, and I will cause my fury to
rest upon them, and I will be comforted:
and they shall know that I hwhy have
spoken it in my zeal, when I have
accomplished my fury in them.
14 Moreover I will make you waste, and
a reproach among the nations that are
round about you, in the sight of all that
pass by.
15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt,
an instruction and an astonishment to the
nations that are round about you, when I
shall execute judgments in you in anger
and in fury and in furious rebukes. I hwhy
have spoken it.
16 When I shall send upon them the evil
arrows of famine, which shall be for their
destruction, and which I will send to
destroy you: and I will increase the
famine upon you, and will break your staff
of lechem (bread):
17 So will I send upon you scarcity of
food and wild beasts, and they shall
bereave you; and plague and bloodshed
will overwhelm you; and I will bring the
sword upon you. I hwhy have spoken it.
Chapter 6
1 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, set your face toward the
mountains of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
819
prophesy against them,
3 And say, You mountains of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), hear the word of Master hwhy;
Thus says Master hwhy to the
mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers,
and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will
bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy
your high places.
4 And your altars shall be desolate, and
your images shall be broken: and I will
cast down your slain men before your
idols.
5 And I will lay the dead carcasses of
the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) before
their idols; and I will scatter your bones
round about your altars.
6 In all your dwelling places the cities
shall be laid waste, and the high places
shall be desolate; that your altars may be
laid waste and made desolate, and your
idols may be broken and cease, and your
images may be cut down, and your works
may be abolished.
7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of
you, and you shall know that I am hwhy.
8 Yet will I leave a remnant that you
may have some that shall escape the
sword among the nations, when you shall
be scattered through the countries.
9 And they that escape of you shall
remember me among the nations where
they shall be carried captives, because I
am broken with their whorish heart, which
has departed from me, and with their
eyes, which go whoring after their idols:
and they shall hate themselves for the
evils which they have committed in all
their abominations.
10 And they shall know that I am hwhy,
and that I have not said in vain that I
would do this evil to them.
11 Thus says Master hwhy; Smite with
your hand, and stamp with your foot, and
say, Alas for all the evil abominations of
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)! For they
shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and
by the pestilence.
12 He that is far off shall die of the
pestilence; and he that is near shall fall
by the sword; and he that remains and is
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
besieged shall die by the famine: thus will
I accomplish my fury upon them.
13 Then shall you know that I am hwhy,
when their slain men shall be among their
idols roundabout their altars, upon every
high hill, in all the tops of the mountains,
and under every green etz (tree), and
under every thick oak, the place where
they did offer sweet savour to all their
idols.
14 So will I stretch out my hand upon
them, and make the land desolate, yes,
more desolate than the wilderness toward
Diblath, in all their habitations: and they
shall know that I am hwhy.
Chapter 7
1 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
2 Also, you son of man, thus says the
Master hwhy to the land of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); An end, the end is come upon
the four corners of the land.
3 Now is the end come upon you, and I
will send my anger upon you, and will
judge you according to your ways, and
will recompense upon you all your
abominations.
4 And my eye shall not spare you,
neither will I have pity: but I will
recompense your ways upon you, and
your abominations shall be in the midst of
you: and you shall know that I am hwhy.
5 Thus says Master hwhy; An evil, an
only evil, behold, is come.
6 An end is come, the end is come: it
watches for you; behold, it is come.
7 The morning is come to you, O you
that dwell in the land: the time is come,
the day of trouble is near, and not the
sounding again of the mountains.
8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury
upon you, and accomplish my anger
upon you: and I will judge you according
to your ways, and will recompense you
for all your abominations.
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither
will I have pity: I will recompense you
according to your ways and your
abominations that are in the midst of you;
820
and you shall know that I am hwhy that
smites.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come:
the morning is gone forth; the rod has
blossomed, pride has budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of
wickedness: none of them shall remain,
nor of their multitude, nor of any of their's:
neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draws
near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the
seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the
multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that
which is sold, although they were yet
alive: for the vision is touching the whole
multitude thereof, which shall not return;
neither shall any strengthen himself in the
iniquity of his life.
14 They have blown the shofar, even to
make all ready; but none goes to the
battle: for my wrath is upon all the
multitude thereof.
15 The sword is without, and the
pestilence and the famine within: he that
is in the field shall die with the sword; and
he that is in the city, famine and
pestilence shall devour him.
16 But they that escape of them shall
escape, and shall be on the mountains
like doves of the valleys, all of them
mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all
knees shall be weak as mayim (water).
18 They shall also gird themselves with
sackcloth, and horror shall cover them;
and shame shall be upon all faces, and
baldness upon all their heads.
19 They shall cast their silver in the
streets, and their gold shall be removed:
their silver and their gold shall not be able
to deliver them in the day of the wrath of
hwhy: they shall not satisfy their souls,
neither fill their bowels: because it is the
stumbling block of their iniquity.
20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he
set it in majesty: but they made the
images of their abominations and of their
detestable things therein: therefore have I
set it far from them.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
21 And I will give it into the hands of the
strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of
the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute
it.
22 My face will I turn also from them,
and they shall pollute my secret place: for
the robbers shall enter into it, and defile
it.
23 Make a chain: for the land is full of
bloody crimes, and the city is full of
violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the
nations, and they shall possess their
houses: I will also make the pomp of the
strong to cease; and their set-apart
places shall be defiled.
25 Destruction comes; and they shall
seek shalom (peace), and there shall be
none.
26 Mischief shall come upon mischief,
and rumour shall be upon rumour; then
shall they seek a vision of the prophet;
but the law shall perish from the kohen
(priest), and counsel from the ancients.
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince
shall be clothed with desolation, and the
hands of the people of the land shall be
troubled: I will do to them after their way,
and according to their deserts will I judge
them; and they shall know that I am
hwhy.
Chapter 8
1 And it came to pass in the sixth year,
in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the
month, as I sat in my house, and the
elders of Yahudah (Judah) sat before me,
that the hand of Master hwhy fell there
upon me.
2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as
the appearance of fire: from the
appearance of his loin’s even downward,
fire; and from his loins even upward, as
the appearance of brightness, as the
colour of amber.1
3 And he put forth the form of a hand,
1 Master Yahushua.
821
and took me by my braided hair on my
head; and the Ruach (Spirit) lifted me up
between the earth and the shamayim
(heavens), and brought me in the visions
of Elohim to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
to the door of the inner gate that looks
toward the north; where was the seat of
the image of jealousy, which provokes to
jealousy.
4 And, behold, the glory of the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) was there, according to
the vision that I saw in the plain.
5 Then said he to me, Son of man, lift
up your eyes now the way toward the
north. So I lifted up my eyes the way
toward the north, and behold northward
at the gate of the altar this image of
jealousy in the entry.2
6 He said furthermore to me, Son of
man, see you what they do? Even the
great abominations that the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) commits here, that I
should go far off from my sanctuary? But
turn yet again, and you shall see greater
abominations.
7 And he brought me to the door of the
court; and when I looked, behold a hole in
the wall.
8 Then said he to me, Son of man, dig
now in the wall: and when I had dug in
the wall, behold a door.
9 And he said to me, Go in, and behold
the wicked abominations that they do
here.
10 So I went in and saw; and behold
every form of creeping things, and
abominable beasts, and all the idols of
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), carved
upon the wall round about.3
2 The North is the seat of heaven of YHWH and
this abominable image was trying to usurp that
authority by receiving worship in YHWH’s house.
3 When you start worshipping creepy and crawly
things you start behaving and acting like them.
They say a man is after his own pet and you are
what you eat. So if you eat swine then you will
become one too. This is a picture of what the

11 And there stood before them seventy
men of the elders of the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and in the midst of
them stood Yaazanyahu (Jaazaniah) the
son of Shaphan, with every man his
censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of
incense went up.
12 Then said he to me, Son of man,
have you seen what the elders of the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) do in the dark,
every man in the chambers of his
imagery? For they say, hwhy sees us
not; hwhy has forsaken the earth.
13 He said also to me, Turn yet again,
and you shall see greater abominations
that they do.
14 Then he brought me to the door of
the gate of hwhy's house which was
toward the north; and, behold, there sat
women weeping1 for Tammuz.2
15 Then said he to me, Have you seen
this, O son of man? Return yet again, and
you shall see greater abominations than
these.
16 And he brought me into the inner
court of hwhy's house, and, behold, at
the door of the Temple of hwhy, between
the porch and the altar, were about
twenty-five men, with their backs toward
the Temple of hwhy, and their faces
toward the east; and they worshipped the

elders who were sincere but sincerely wrong.

he was identified with Adonis.

17 Then he said to me, Have you seen
this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to
the house of Yahudah (Judah) that they
commit the abominations which they
commit here? For they have filled the
land with violence, and have returned to
provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the
branch to their nose.
18 Therefore will I also deal in fury: my
eye shall not spare, neither will I have
pity: and though they cry in my ears with
a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Chapter 9
1 He cried also in my ears with a loud
voice, saying, Cause them that have
charge over the city to draw near, even
every man with his destroying weapon in
his hand.
2 And, behold, six men came from the
way of the higher gate, which lies toward
the north, and every man a slaughter
weapon in his hand; and one man among
them was clothed with linen, with a
writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went
in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
3 And the glory of the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) was gone up from the
cherub, whereupon he was, to the
threshold of the house. And he called to
the man clothed with linen, which had the
writer's inkhorn by his side;
4 And hwhy said to him, Go through the
midst of the city, through the midst of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and set a
mark4 upon the foreheads of the men that
3 Sun worship came from Babylon and YHWH
hated any form of this practice. Christians today
are duped into worshipping on Sun-day which was
a day dedicated to the sun deity and had nothing
to do with YHWH or His people Israel. YHWH’s
appointed times of fellowship are the Sabbaths
particularly Friday night sundown to Saturday
sundown.

letter of Alef-Tav and has the ancient symbol of a

sigh and that cry for all the abominations
that be done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the others he said in my
hearing, Go you after him through the
city, and smite: let not your eye spare,
neither have you pity:
6 Slay utterly old and young, both
maids, and little children, and women: but
come not near any man upon whom is
the mark; and begin at my sanctuary.
Then they began at the ancient men
which were before the house.
7 And he said to them, Defile the house,
and fill the courts with the slain: go you
forth. And they went forth, and slew in the
city.
8 And it came to pass, while they were
slaying them, and I was left, that I fell
upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah
Master hwhy! Will you destroy all the
remnant of Yah’sar’el (Israel) in your
pouring out of your fury upon
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)?
9 Then said he to me, The iniquity of the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) and Yahudah
(Judah) is exceeding great, and the land
is full of blood, and the city full of
perverseness: for they say, hwhy has
forsaken the earth, and hwhy sees not.
10 And as for me also, my eye shall not
spare, neither will I have pity, but I will
recompense their way upon their head.
11 And, behold, the man clothed with
linen, which had the inkhorn by his side,
reported the matter, saying, I have done
as you have commanded me.
Chapter 10
1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the
firmament that was above the head of the
Cherubims there appeared over them as
it were a sapphire stone, as the
appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 And he spoke to the man clothed with
linen, and said, Go in between the
wheels, even under the cherub, and fill
your hand with coals of fire from between
823
the Cherubims, and scatter them over the
city.1 And he went in my sight.
3 Now the Cherubims stood on the right
side of the house,2 when the man went
in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Then the glory of hwhy went up from
the cherub, and stood over the threshold
of the house; and the house was filled
with the cloud, and the court was full of
the brightness of hwhy's glory.3
5 And the sound of the Cherubims'
wings was heard even to the outer court,
as the voice of the El-Shaddai (Almighty)
when he speaks.
6 And it came to pass, that when he had
commanded the man clothed with linen,
saying, Take fire from between the
wheels, from between the Cherubims;
then he went in, and stood beside the
wheels.
7 And one cherub stretched forth his
hand from between the Cherubims to the
fire that was between the Cherubims, and
took thereof, and put it into the hands of
him that was clothed with linen: who took
it, and went out.
8 And there appeared in the Cherubims
the form of a man's hand under their
wings.
9 And when I looked, behold the four
wheels by the Cherubims, one wheel by
one cherub, and another wheel by
another cherub: and the appearance of
the wheels was as the colour of a beryl
stone.4
10 And as for their appearances, they
four had one likeness, as if a wheel had
been in the midst of a wheel.
11 When they went, they went upon
their four sides; they turned not as they

went, but to the place where the head
looked they followed it; they turned not as
they went.
12 And their whole body, and their
backs, and their hands, and their wings,
and the wheels, were full of eyes round
about, even the wheels that they four
had.
13 As for the wheels, it was cried to
them in my hearing, O wheel.
14 And every one had four faces: the
first face was the face of a cherub, and
the second face was the face of a man,
and the third the face of a lion, and the
fourth the face of an eagle.1
15 And the Cherubims were lifted up.
This is the living creature that I saw by
the river of Khebar.
16 And when the Cherubims went, the
wheels went by them: and when the
Cherubims lifted up their wings to Mount
up from the earth, the same wheels also
turned not from beside them.
17 When they stood, these stood; and
when they were lifted up, these lifted up
themselves also: for the Ruach (Spirit) of
the living creature was in them.
18 Then the glory of hwhy departed
from off the threshold of the house, and
stood over the Cherubims.
19 And the Cherubims lifted up their
wings, and mounted up from the earth in
my sight: when they went out, the wheels
also were beside them, and every one
stood at the door of the east gate of
hwhy's house; and the glory of the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) was over
them above.
20 This is the living creature that I saw
under the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel) by

the river of Khebar; and I knew that they
were the Cherubims.
21 Every one had four faces apiece,
and every one four wings; and the
likeness of the hands of a man was under
their wings.
22 And the likeness of their faces was
the same faces which I saw by the river
of Khebar, their appearances and
themselves: they went every one straight
forward.
Chapter 11
1 Moreover the Ruach (Spirit) lifted me
up, and brought me to the east gate of
hwhy's house, which looks eastward: and
behold at the door of the gate and twenty-
five men; among whom I saw
Yaazanyahu (Jaazaniah) the son of Azur,
and Pelat’yah the son of Bena’yah,
princes of the people.
2 Then said he to me, Son of man,
these are the men that devise mischief,
and give wicked counsel in this city:
3 Which say, It is not near; let us build
houses: this city is the cooking pot, and
we be the flesh.
4 Therefore prophesy against them,
prophesy, O son of man.
5 And the Ruach (Spirit) of hwhy fell
upon me, and said to me, Speak; Thus
says hwhy; Thus have you said, O house
of Yah’sar’el (Israel): for I know the things
that come into your mind, every one of
them.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this
city, and you have filled the streets
thereof with the slain.
7 Therefore thus says Master hwhy;
Your slain that you have laid in the midst
of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the
cooking pot: but I will bring you forth out
of the midst of it.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will
bring a sword upon you, says Master
hwhy.
9 And I will bring you out of the midst
thereof, and deliver you into the hands of
strangers, and will execute judgments
among you.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
10 You shall fall by the sword; I will
judge you in the border of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); and you shall know that I am
hwhy.
11 This city shall not be your cooking
pot, neither shall you be the flesh in the
midst thereof; but I will judge you in the
border of Yah’sar’el (Israel):
12 And you shall know that I am hwhy:
for you have not walked in my statutes,
neither executed my judgments, but have
done after the manners of the nations
that are round about you.
13 And it came to pass, when I
prophesied, that Pelat’yah the son of
Bena’yah died. Then fell I down upon my
face, and cried with a loud voice, and
said, Ah Master hwhy! will you make a
full end of the remnant of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
14 Again the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
15 Son of man, your brethren, even
your brethren, the men of your kindred,
and all the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
wholly, are they to whom the inhabitants
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) have said,
they have gone far away from hwhy: to
us is this land given in possession.
16 Therefore say, Thus says Master
hwhy; Although I have cast them far off
among the nations, and although I have
scattered them among the countries, yet
will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the
countries where they shall come.1
17 Therefore say, Thus says Master
hwhy; I will even gather you from the
people, and assemble you out of the
countries where you have been
scattered, and I will give you the land of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).2
1 Ephraim will make little groups of worship
centers wherever they are and worship YHWH
among the nations and cry to return to Israel.
2 YHWH will bring them back dead or alive that is
His covenant promise. The dead will be raised and
brought back.
18 And they shall come there, and they
shall take away all the detestable things
thereof and all the abominations thereof
from there.
19 And I will give them one heart, and I
will put a new Ruach (Spirit) within you;
and I will take the stony heart out of their
flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh:3
20 That they may walk in my statutes,
and keep my ordinances, and do them:
and they shall be my people, and I will be
their Elohim.
21 But as for them whose heart walks
after the heart of their detestable things
and their abominations, I will recompense
their way upon their own heads, says
Master hwhy.
22 Then did the Cherubims lift up their
wings, and the wheels beside them; and
the glory of the Elohim of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) was over them above.
23 And the glory of hwhy went up from
the midst of the city, and stood upon the
mountain which is on the east side of the
city.
24 Afterwards the Ruach (Spirit) took
me up, and brought me in a vision by the
Ruach (Spirit) of Elohim into Chaldea, to
them of the captivity. So the vision that I
had seen went up from me.
25 Then I spoke to them of the captivity
all the things that hwhy had showed me.
Chapter 12
1 The word of hwhy also came to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, you dwell in the midst of
a rebellious house, which have eyes to
see, and see not; they have ears to hear,
and hear not: for they are a rebellious
house.
3 Therefore, you son of man, prepare
you stuff for removing, and remove by

resurrection in Jerusalem but the process is not yet

millennium.

 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
day in their sight; and you shall remove
from your place to another place in their
sight: it may be they will consider, though
they be a rebellious house.
4 Then shall you bring forth your stuff by
day in their sight, as stuff for removing:
and you shall go forth at even in their
sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and
carry out thereby.
6 In their sight shall you bear it upon
your shoulders, and carry it forth in the
twilight: you shall cover your face, that
you see not the ground: for I have set you
for a sign to the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
7 And I did so as I was commanded: I
brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for
captivity, and in the even I dug through
the wall with my hand; I brought it forth in
the twilight, and I bare it upon my
shoulder in their sight.
8 And in the morning came the word of
hwhy to me, saying,
9 Son of man, has not the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), the rebellious house,
said to you, What are you doing?
10 Say you to them, Thus says the
Master hwhy; This burden concerns the
prince in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
all the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) that are
among them.
11 Say, I am your sign: like as I have
done, so shall it be done to them: they
shall remove and go into captivity.
12 And the prince that is among them
shall bear upon his shoulder in the
twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig
through the wall to carry out thereby: he
shall cover his face, that he sees not the
ground with his eyes.
13 My net also will I spread upon him,
and he shall be taken in my snare: and I
will bring him to Babylon to the land of the
Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though
he shall die there.
14 And I will scatter toward every wind
all that are about him to help him, and all
his bands; and I will draw out the sword
after them.
826
15 And they shall know that I am hwhy,
when I shall scatter them among the
nations, and disperse them in the
countries.
16 But I will leave a few men of them
from the sword, from the famine, and
from the pestilence; that they may
declare all their abominations among the
nations where they come; and they shall
know that I am hwhy.
17 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
18 Son of man, eat your lechem (bread)
with trembling, and drink your mayim
(water) with fear and with anxiety;
19 And say to the people of the land,
Thus says Master hwhy of the inhabitants
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and of the
land of Yah’sar’el (Israel); They shall eat
their lechem (bread) with anxiety, and
drink their mayim (water) with
astonishment, that her land is desolate
from all that is therein, because of the
violence of all them that dwell therein.
20 And the cities that are inhabited shall
be laid waste, and the land shall be
empty; and you shall know that I am
hwhy.
21 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
22 Son of man, what is that proverb that
you have in the land of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
saying, The days are prolonged, and
every vision fails?
23 Tell them therefore, Thus says
Master hwhy; I will make this proverb to
cease, and they shall no more use it as a
proverb in Yah’sar’el (Israel); but say to
them, The days are at hand, and the
effect of every vision.
24 For there shall be no more any vain
vision nor flattering divination within the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
25 For I am hwhy: I will speak, and the
word that I shall speak shall come to
pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in
your days, O rebellious house, will I say
the word, and will perform it, says Master
hwhy.
26 Again the word of hwhy came to me,
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
saying,
27 Son of man, behold, they of the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) say, The
vision that he sees is for many days to
come, and he prophesies of the times
that are far off.
28 Therefore say to them, Thus says
Master hwhy; There shall none of my
words be prolonged any more, but the
word which I have spoken shall be done,
says Master hwhy.
Chapter 13
1 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the
prophets of Yah’sar’el (Israel) that
prophesy, and say you to them that
prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear
you the word of hwhy;
3 Thus says Master hwhy; Woe to the
foolish prophets, that follow their own
ruach (spirit), and have seen nothing!
4 O Yah’sar’el (Israel), your prophets
are like the foxes in the deserts.
5 You have not gone up into the gaps,
neither made up the hedge for the house
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to stand in the battle
in the day of hwhy.
6 They have seen vanity and lying
divination, saying, hwhy says: and hwhy
has not sent them: and they have made
others to hope that they would confirm
the word.
7 Have you not seen a vain vision, and
have you not spoken a lying divination,
whereas you say, hwhy says it; albeit I
have not spoken?
8 Therefore thus says Master hwhy;
Because you have spoken vanity, and
seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against
you, says Master hwhy.
9 And my hand shall be upon the
prophets that see vanity, and that divine
lies: they shall not be in the assembly of
my people, neither shall they be written in
the writing of the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), neither shall they enter into the
land of Yah’sar’el (Israel); and you shall
827
know that I am Master hwhy.1
10 Because, yes they have seduced my
people, saying, Shalom (peace); and
there was no shalom (peace); and one
built up a wall, and, lo, others coat it with
whitewash:
11 Say to them which coat it with
whitewash that it shall fall: there shall be
an overflowing shower; and you, O great
hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind
shall rend it.
12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not
be said to you, Where is the whitewash
wherewith you have coated it?
13 Therefore thus says Master hwhy; I
will even rend it with a stormy wind in my
fury; and there shall be an overflowing
shower in my anger, and great hailstones
in my fury to consume it.
14 So will I break down the wall that you
have coated with whitewash, and bring it
down to the ground, so that the
foundation thereof shall be visible, and it
shall fall, and you shall be consumed in
the midst thereof: and you shall know that
I am hwhy.
15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath
upon the wall, and upon them that have
coated it with whitewash, and will say to
you, The wall is no more, neither they
that coated it;
16 To the prophets of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
which prophesy concerning Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), and which see visions of
shalom (peace) for her, and there is no
shalom (peace), says Master hwhy.
17 Likewise, you son of man, set your
face against the daughters of your
people, which prophesy out of their own
heart; and prophesy you against them,
18 And say, Thus says Master hwhy;
woe to the women who sew cushions for
all joints of the hand, and to those making
veils for the heads of people of every

size, to hunt beings! Will you entrap the
souls of my people, and yet save your
own lives?
19 And will you pollute me among my
people for handfuls of barley and for
pieces of lechem (bread), to slay the
souls that should not die, and to save the
souls alive that should not live, by your
lying to my people that hear your lies?
20 Therefore thus says Master hwhy;
Behold, I am against your cushions, with
which you hunt the souls to make them
fly like birds, and I will tear them from
your arms, and will let the souls go, even
the souls that you hunt to make them fly.
21 Your cushions I will also tear, and
deliver my people out of your hand, and
they shall be no more be hunted in your
hands; and you shall know that I am
hwhy.
22 Because with lies you have made the
heart of the righteous sad, whom I have
not made sad; and strengthened the
hands of the wicked, that he should not
return from his wicked way, by promising
him life:
23 Therefore you shall see no more
vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will
deliver my people out of your hand: and
you shall know that I am hwhy.
Chapter 14
1 Then came certain of the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) to me, and sat before
me.
2 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
3 Son of man, these men have set up
their idols in their heart,1 and put the
stumbling block of their iniquity before
their face: should I be enquired of at all
by them?
4 Therefore speak to them, and say to
them, Thus says Master hwhy; Every

give them attributes of the divine and worship
them. Many do this sin even today.
828
man of the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
that sets up his idols in his heart, and
puts the stumbling block of his iniquity
before his face, and comes to the
prophet; I hwhy will answer him that
comes according to the multitude of his
idols;
5 That I may take the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) in their own heart,
because they are all estranged from me
through their idols.
6 Therefore say to the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Thus says Master
hwhy; Repent, and turn yourselves from
your idols; and turn away your faces from
all your abominations.
7 For everyone of the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), or of the foreigner that
sojourned in Yah’sar’el (Israel), which
separates himself from me, and sets up
his idols in his heart, and puts the
stumbling block of his iniquity before his
face, and comes to a prophet to enquire
of him concerning me; I hwhy will answer
him by myself:
8 And I will set my face against that
man, and will make him a sign and a
proverb, and I will cut him off from the
midst of my people; and you shall know
that I am hwhy.
9 And if the prophet be fooled to speak
a prophetic word, I hwhy have allowed
that prophet to be deceived, and I will
stretch out my hand upon him, and will
destroy him from the midst of my people
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
10 And they shall bear the punishment
of their iniquity: the punishment of the
prophet shall be even as the punishment
of him that seeks to him;
11 That the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
may go no more astray from me, neither
be polluted any more with all their
transgressions; but that they may be my
people, and I may be their Elohim, says
Master hwhy.
12 The word of hwhy came again to
me, saying,
13 Son of man, when the land sins
against me by trespassing grievously,
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
then will I stretch out my hand upon it, you see their ways and their doings: and
and will break the staff of the lechem you shall know that I have not done

upon it. 4 And as for your nativity, in the day you
23 And they shall comfort you, when were born your navel was not cut, neither
were you washed in mayim (water) for
829
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
cleansing; you were not rubbed with
salted, nor wrapped in blankets.
5 None eye pitied you, to do any of
these to you, to have compassion upon
you; but you were cast out in the open
field, to the loathing of your person, in the
day that you were born.
6 And when I passed by you, and saw
you polluted in your own blood, I said to
you when you were in your blood, Live;
yes, I said to you when you were in your
blood, Live.
7 I have caused you to multiply as the
bud of the field, and you have increased
and waxen great, and you are come to
excellent ornaments: your breasts are
fashioned, and your hair is grown,
whereas you were naked and bare.
8 Now when I passed by you, and
looked upon you, behold, your time was
the time of love; and I spread the edge of
my garment over you, and covered your
nakedness:1 yes, I swore to you, and
entered into a covenant with you, says
Master hwhy, and you became mine.
9 Then I washed you with mayim
(water); yes, I thoroughly washed away
your blood from you, and I anointed you
with oil.
10 I clothed you also with embroidered
work, and sandals of leather of antelope,
and I wrapped you in fine linen, and I
covered you with silk.
11 I decked you also with ornaments,
and I put bracelets upon your hands, and
a chain on your neck.
12 And I put a jewel on your forehead,
and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful
crown upon your head.
13 Thus were you decked with gold and
silver; and your clothing was of fine linen,
and silk, and embroidered work; you did
eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and you
were exceeding beautiful, and you did
prosper into a kingdom.
1 With YHWH’s tzitzits to show sign of a covenant
and protection.
830
14 And your fame went forth among the
nations for your beauty: for it was perfect
through my comeliness, which I had put
upon you, says Master hwhy.
15 But you did trust in your own beauty,
and played the harlot because of your
fame, and you offered sexual favours to
everyone that passed by and your beauty
became his.
16 And of your garments you did take,
and decked your high places with various
colours, and played the harlot thereupon:
the like things shall not come, neither
shall it be so.
17 You have also taken your fair jewels
of my gold and of my silver, which I had
given you, and made to yourself images
of men, and did commit whoredom with
them,
18 And took your embroidered
garments, and covered them: and you
have set my oil and my incense before
them.
19 My food also which I gave you, fine
flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed
you, you have even set it before them for
a sweet savour: and thus it was, says
Master hwhy.
20 Moreover you have taken your sons
and your daughters, whom you have
borne to me and these have you
sacrificed to them to be consumed. Is this
of your whoredoms a small matter?
21 That you have slain my children, and
delivered them to cause them to be
burned in the fire?
22 And in all your abominations and
your whoredoms you have not
remembered the days of your youth,
when you were naked and bare, and
were polluted in your blood.
23 And it came to pass after all your
wickedness, woe; woe to you says
Master hwhy;
24 That you have also built to you an
eminent place, and have made you a
high place in every street.
25 You have built your high place at
every head of the way, and have made
your beauty to be despised, and have
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
opened your feet to every one that
passed by, and multiplied your
whoredoms.
26 You have also committed
whoredoms with the Mitzrim (Egyptians)
your neighbours, of great flesh; and have
increased your whoredoms, to provoke
me to anger.
27 Behold, therefore I have stretched
out my hand over you, and have
diminished your ordinary food, and
delivered you to the will of them that hate
you, the daughters of the Plushtim
(Philistines), which are ashamed of your
lewd way.
28 You have played the whore also with
the Assyrians, because you were
insatiable; yes, you have played the
harlot with them, and yet could not be
satisfied.
29 You have moreover multiplied your
fornication in the land of Canaan to
Chaldea; and yet you were not satisfied
herewith.
30 How weak is your heart, says Master
hwhy, seeing you do all these things, the
work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 In that you built your eminent place
in the head of every way, and make your
high place in every street; and have not
been as a harlot, in that you scorn
payment;
32 But as a wife that commits adultery,
which takes strangers instead of her
husband!
33 They give gifts to all whores: but you
give your gifts to all your lovers, and paid
them, that they may come to you on
every side for your whoredom.
34 And the contrary is in you from other
women in your whoredoms, whereas
none follows you to commit whoredoms:
and in that you give a reward, and no
reward is given to you, therefore you are
contrary.
35 Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of
hwhy:
36 Thus says Master hwhy; Because
your filthiness was poured out, and your
nakedness uncovered through your
831
whoredoms with your lovers, and with all
the idols of your abominations, and by the
blood of your children, which you did give
to them;
37 Behold, therefore I will gather all your
lovers, with whom you have taken
pleasure, and all them that you have
loved, with all them that you have hated; I
will even gather them round about
against you, and will uncover your
nakedness to them, that they may see all
your nakedness.
38 And I will judge you, as women that
break wedlock and shed blood are
judged; and I will give you blood in fury
and jealousy.
39 And I will also give you into their
hand, and they shall throw down your
eminent place, and shall break down your
high places: they shall strip you also of
your clothes, and shall take your fair
jewels, and leave you naked and bare.
40 They shall also bring up a company
against you, and they shall stone you with
stones, and thrust you through with their
swords.
41 And they shall burn your houses with
fire, and execute judgments upon you in
the sight of many women: and I will cause
you to cease from playing the harlot, and
you also shall give no payment any more.
42 So will I make my fury toward you to
rest, and my jealousy shall depart from
you, and I will be quiet, and will be no
angrier.
43 Because you have not remembered
the days of your youth, but have troubled
me in all these things; behold, therefore I
also will recompense your way upon your
head, says Master hwhy: and you shall
not commit this lewdness above all your
abominations.
44 Behold, every one that uses
proverbs shall use this proverb against
you, saying, As is the mother, so is her
daughter.
45 You are your mother's daughter, that
hates her husband and her children; and
you are the sister of your sisters, who
hated their husbands and their children:
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
your mother was a Hittite, and your father
an Amorite.
46 And your elder sister is Shomeron
(Samaria), she and her daughters that
dwell at your left hand: and your younger
sister that dwells at your right hand is
Sedom (Sodom) and her daughters.
47 Yet have you not walked after their
ways, nor done after their abominations:
but, as if that were a very little thing, you
were corrupted more than they in all your
ways.
48 As I live, says Master hwhy, Sedom
(Sodom) your sister has not done, she
nor her daughters, as you have done, you
and your daughters.
49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your
sister Sedom (Sodom), pride, fullness of
lechem (bread), and abundance of
idleness was in her and in her daughters,
neither did she strengthen the hand of the
poor and needy. 1 54 That you may bear your own shame,
1 The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were great,
homosexuality was not the only problem. These
people had become wealthy and had built nice
parks and in one particular park they all went with
their wives and daughters and they did wife
swapping and none of them minded sleeping with
the other person’s wife so adultery was openly
being committed and accepted just as today in our
society. This kind of behaviour happened in one
special park with a lake four times a year. If any
stranger came in to sell goods they would take
away his goods and give them to others until none
were left and he would get nothing for them.
When the man would quarrel about his goods they
would gang up on him and drive him out of the
city. The man would leave with a sorrowful heart.
In this place were four judges ruling in the four
cities, Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Menon in
Zeboyim that they were so corrupt that no
foreigners judgment was heard justly. Each city
had a bed laid for each judge where the foreigners
were forced to lay on the bed and then three men
on the side of his head and three on his feet would
stretch this man until he cried with pain. And
when a poor man came to their land they would
give him silver and gold, and cause a proclamation
in the whole city not to give him a morsel of bread
to eat, and if the stranger should remain there
832
50 And they were proud, and committed
abomination before me: therefore I took
them away as I saw good.
51 Neither has Shomeron (Samaria)
committed half of your sins; but you have
multiplied your abominations more than
they, and have justified your sisters in all
your abominations which you have done.
52 You also, which have judged your
sisters, bear your own shame for your
sins that you have committed more
abominable than they: they are more
righteous than you: yes, be you
confounded also, and bear your shame,
in that you have justified your sisters.
53 When I shall bring again their
captivity, the captivity of Sedom (Sodom)
and her daughters, and the captivity of
Shomeron (Samaria) and her daughters,
then will I bring again the captivity of your
captives in the midst of them:
and may be confounded in all that you
have done, in that you are a comfort to
them.
55 When your sisters, Sedom (Sodom)
and her daughters, shall return to their
former estate, and Shomeron (Samaria)
and her daughters shall return to their
former estate, then you and your
daughters shall return to your former
estate.
56 For your sister Sedom (Sodom) was
not mentioned by your mouth in the day
of your pride,
57 Before your wickedness was
some days, and die from hunger, not having been
able to obtain a morsel of bread, then at his death
all the people of the city would come and take
their silver and gold which they had given to him.
One of the evil custom was to hit some traveler in
the head and make him bleed and then ask for
hire to say that they had let the bad blood out.
Even if you went to any of the four judges they
were evil to make the wounded man pay the
wicked men. Such was the wickedness of these
cities. All of this and more can be read in the book
of Yahshar.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
discovered, as at the time of your
reproach of the daughters of Syria, and
all that are round about her, the
daughters of the Plushtim (Philistines),
which despise you round about.
58 You have borne your lewdness and
your abominations, says hwhy.
59 For thus says Master hwhy; I will
even deal with you as you have done,
which have despised the oath in breaking
the covenant.
60 Nevertheless I will remember my
covenant with you in the days of your
youth, and I will establish to you an
everlasting covenant.
61 Then you shall remember your ways,
and be ashamed, when you shall receive
your sisters, your elder and your younger:
and I will give them to you for daughters,
but not by your covenant.
62 And I will establish my covenant with
you; and you shall know that I am hwhy:
63 That you may remember, and be
confounded, and never open your mouth
any more because of your shame, when I
am pacified toward you for all that you
have done, says Master hwhy.
Chapter 17
1 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and
speak a parable to the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel);
3 And say, Thus says Master hwhy; A
great eagle with great wings, long
winged, full of feathers, which had divers
colours, came to Lebanon, and took the
highest branch of the cedar:
4 He cropped off the top of his young
twigs, and carried it into a land of traffic;
he set it in a city of merchants.
5 He took also of the seed of the land,
and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed
it by great waters, and set it as a willow
etz (tree).
6 And it grew, and became a spreading
vine of low stature, whose branches
turned toward him, and the roots thereof
were under him: so it became a vine, and
833
brought forth branches, and shot forth
sprigs.
7 There was also another great eagle
with great wings and many feathers: and,
behold, this vine did bend her roots
toward him, and shot forth her branches
toward him, that he might mayim (water)
it by the furrows of her plantation.
8 It was planted in a good soil by great
waters, that it might bring forth branches,
and that it might bear fruit that it might be
a goodly vine.
9 Say you, Thus says Master hwhy;
Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up the
roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof,
that it wither? It shall wither in all the
leaves of her spring, even without great
power or many people to pluck it up by
the roots thereof.
10 Yes, behold, being planted, shall it
prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when
the east wind touches it? It shall wither in
the furrows where it grew.
11 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
12 Say now to the rebellious house,
Know you not what these things mean?
Tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is
come to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
has taken the king thereof, and the
princes thereof, and led them with him to
Babylon;
13 And has taken of the king's seed,
and made a covenant with him, and has
taken an oath of him: he has also taken
the mighty of the land:
14 That the kingdom might be base, that
it might not lift itself up, but that by
keeping of his covenant it might stand.
15 But he rebelled against him in
sending his ambassadors into Mitzrayim
(Egypt), that they might give him horses
and much people. Shall he prosper?
Shall he escape that does such things?
Or shall he break the covenant, and be
delivered?
16 As I live, says Master hwhy, surely in
the place where the king dwells that
made him king, whose oath he despised,
and whose covenant he broke, even with
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty
army and great company make for him in
the war, by casting up siege mounds, and
building forts, to cut off many persons:
18 Seeing he despised the oath by
breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had
given his hand, and has done all these
things, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore thus says Master hwhy;
As I live, surely my oath that he has
despised, and my covenant that he has
broken, even it will I recompense upon
his own head.
20 And I will spread my net upon him,
and he shall be taken in my snare, and I
will bring him to Babylon, and will plead
with him there for his trespass that he has
trespassed against me.
21 And all his fugitives with all his bands
shall fall by the sword, and they that
remain shall be scattered toward all
winds: and you shall know that I hwhy
have spoken it.
22 Thus says Master hwhy; I will also
take of the highest branch of the high
cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from
the top of his young twigs a tender one,
and will plant it upon a high mountain and
eminent:
23 In the mountain of the height of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) will I plant it: and it
shall bring forth branches, and bear fruit,
and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall
dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow
of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 And all the etzim (trees) of the field
shall know that I hwhy have brought
down the high etz (tree),1 have exalted
the low etz (tree), have dried up the
green etz (tree), and have made the dry
etz (tree) to flourish: I hwhy have spoken
and have done it.
1 The high trees brought low in reference to kings
of the earth.
834
Chapter 18
1 The word of hwhy came to me again,
saying,
2 What do you mean, that you use this
proverb concerning the land of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), saying, The ahvot (fathers) have
eaten sour grapes, and the children's
teeth are set on edge?
3 As I live, says Master hwhy, you shall
not have occasion any more to use this
proverb in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul
of the father, so also the soul of the son is
my: the soul that sins, it shall die.
5 But if a man be righteous, and do that
which is right-ruling,
6 And has not eaten upon the
mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes
to the idols of the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), neither has defiled his
neighbour's wife, neither has come near
to a menstruating woman,2
7 And has not oppressed any, but has
restored to the debtor his pledge, has
spoiled none by violence, has given his
lechem (bread) to the hungry, and has
covered the naked with a garment;
8 He that has not given forth upon
usury, neither has taken any increase,
that has withdrawn his hand from iniquity,
has executed true right-ruling between
man and man,
9 Has walked in my statutes, and has
kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is
righteous, he shall surely live, says
Master hwhy.
10 If he begets a son that is a robber, a
shedder of blood, and that does in the
likeness to any one of these things,
11 And that does not do any of those
duties, but even has eaten upon the
mountains, and defiled his neighbour's
wife,
12 Has oppressed the poor and needy,
has spoiled by violence, has not restored
2 Its sin to have intercourse during a wife’s
menstrual period.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
the pledge, and has lifted up his eyes to
the idols, has committed abomination,
13 If he has lent on interest, and has
taken increase: shall he then live? He
shall not live: he has done all these
abominations; he shall surely die; his
blood shall be upon him.
14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that sees
all his father's sins which he has done,
and considers, and does not do them,
15 That has not eaten upon the
mountains, neither has lifted up his eyes
to the idols of the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), has not defiled his neighbour's
wife,
16 Neither has oppressed any, has not
withheld the pledge, neither has spoiled
by violence, but has given his lechem
(bread) to the hungry, and has covered
the naked with a garment,
17 That has taken off his hand from the
poor that has not received usury nor
increase, has executed my judgments,
has walked in my statutes; he shall not
die for the iniquity of his father, he shall
surely live.
18 As for his father, because he cruelly
oppressed, spoiled his brother by
violence, and did that which is not good
among his people, lo, even he shall die in
his iniquity.
19 Yet you say, why? Does not the son
bear the iniquity of the father? When the
son has done that which is right-ruling
and righteousness, and has kept all my
statutes, and has done them, he shall
surely live.1
20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The
son shall not bear the iniquity of the
father; neither shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son: the righteousness of
the righteous shall be upon him, and the
wickedness of the wicked shall be upon
1 Torah will lead to physical and eternal life no
matter what anyone thinks. YHWH will impute his
righteousness onto that person in mercy within
Israel.
835
him.
21 But if the wicked will turn from all his
sins that he has committed, and keep all
my statutes, and do that which is lawful
and right, he shall surely live, he shall not
die.
22 All his transgressions that he has
committed, they shall not be mentioned to
him: in his righteousness that he has
done he shall live.
23 Have I any pleasure at all that the
wicked should die? Says Master hwhy:
and not that he should return from his
ways, and live?
24 But when the righteous turns away
from his righteousness, and commits
iniquity, and does according to all the
abominations that the wicked man does,
shall he live? All his righteousness that
he has done shall not be mentioned: in
his trespass that he has trespassed, and
in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall
he die.
25 Yet you say, The way of hwhy is not
equal. Hear now, O house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); is not my way equal? Are not
your ways unequal?
26 When a righteous man turns away
from his righteousness, and commits
iniquity, and dies in them; for his iniquity
that he has done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turns
away from his wickedness that he has
committed, and does that which is right-
ruling and righteousness,2 he shall save
his soul alive.
28 Because he considers, and turns
away from all his transgressions that he
has committed, he shall surely live, he
shall not die.
29 Yet says the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), The way of hwhy is not equal. O
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), are not my
ways equal? Are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), every one according
2 This means keeping Torah.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
to his ways, says Master hwhy. Repent,
and turn yourselves from all your
transgressions; so iniquity shall not be
your ruin.
31 Cast away from you all your
transgressions, whereby you have
transgressed; and make yourselves a
new heart and a new ruach (spirit): for
why will you die, O house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death
of him that dies, says Master hwhy:
Therefore turn yourselves, and live you.
Chapter 19
1 Moreover take you up a lamentation
for the princes of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
2 And say, Where is your mother? A
lioness: she lay down among lions; she
nourished her cubs among young lions.
3 And she brought up one of her cubs: it
became a young lion, and it learned to
catch the prey; it devoured men.
4 The nations also heard of him; he was
taken in their pit, and they brought him
with chains to the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt).
5 Now when she saw that she had
waited, and her hope was lost, then she
took another of her cubs, and made him a
young lion.
6 And he went up and down among the
lions, he became a young lion, and
learned to catch the prey, and devoured
men.
7 And he knew their desolate palaces,
and he laid waste their cities; and the
land was desolate, and the fullness
thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
8 Then the nations set against him on
every side from the provinces, and
spread their net over him: he was taken
in their pit.
9 And they put him in a cage in chains,
and brought him to the king of Babylon:
they brought him into strongholds that his
voice should no more be heard upon the
mountains of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
10 Your mother is like a vine in your
blood, planted by the waters: she was
836
fruitful and full of branches by reason of
many waters.
11 And she had strong rods for the
sceptres of them that bare rule, and her
stature was exalted among the thick
branches, and she appeared in her height
with the multitude of her branches.
12 But she was plucked up in fury, she
was cast down to the ground, and the
east wind dried up her fruit: her strong
rods were broken and withered; the fire
consumed them.
13 And now she is planted in the
wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
14 And fire is gone out of a rod of her
branches, which has devoured her fruit,
so that she has no strong rod to be a
sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and
shall be for a lamentation.
Chapter 20
1 And it came to pass in the seventh
year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of
the month, that certain of the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) came to enquire of
hwhy, and sat before me.
2 Then came the word of hwhy to me,
saying,
3 Son of man, speak to the elders of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say to them, Thus
says Master hwhy; Are you come to
enquire of me? As I live, says Master
hwhy, I will not be enquired of by you.
4 Will you judge them, son of man, will
you judge them? Cause them to know the
abominations of their ahvot (fathers):
5 And say to them, Thus says Master
hwhy; In the day when I chose Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and lifted up my hand to the seed
of the house of Ya’acob (Jacob), and
made myself known to them in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), when I lifted up my
hand to them, saying, I am hwhy your
Elohim;
6 In the day that I lifted up my hand to
them, to bring them forth of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) into a land that I had
searched out for them, flowing with milk
and honey, which is the glory of all

lands:1
7 Then said I to them, Cast away every
man the abominations of his eyes, and
defile not yourselves with the idols of
Mitzrayim (Egypt): I am hwhy your
Elohim.
8 But they rebelled against me, and
would not hearken to me: they did not
every man cast away the abominations of
their eyes, neither did they forsake the
idols of Mitzrayim (Egypt): then I said, I
will pour out my fury upon them, to
accomplish my anger against them in the
midst of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
9 But I wrought for my name's sake, that
it should not be polluted before the
nations, among who they were, in whose
sight I made myself known to them, in
bringing them forth out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
10 Therefore I caused them to go forth
out of the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
brought them into the wilderness.
11 And I gave them my statutes, and
showed them my judgments, which if a
man does, he shall even live in them.
12 Moreover also I gave them my
Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and
them that they might know that I am
hwhy that sanctify them.
13 But the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
rebelled against me in the wilderness:
they walked not in my statutes, and they
despised my judgments, which if a man
do, he shall even live in them; and my
Sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I
said, I would pour out my fury upon them
in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 But I wrought for my name's sake,
that it should not be polluted before the
nations, in whose sight I brought them
out.
15 Yet also I lifted up my hand to them
1 Israel’s real estate is the glory of all nations.
2 One of the sins that caused Israel to be exiled
was the Sabbath. Many Christians still need to
learn this truth to leave sun-day practice behind.
Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
in the wilderness, that I would not bring
them into the land which I had given
them, flowing with milk and honey, which
is the glory of all lands;
16 Because they despised my
judgments, and walked not in my
statutes, but polluted my Sabbaths: for
their heart went after their idols.
17 Nevertheless my eye spared them
from destroying them; neither did I make
an end of them in the wilderness.
18 But I said to their children in the
wilderness, Walk you not in the statutes
of your ahvot (fathers), neither observe
their judgments, nor defile yourselves
with their idols:
19 I am hwhy your Elohim; walk in my
statutes, and keep my judgments, and do
them;
20 And set-apart my Sabbaths; and they
shall be a sign between me and you, that
you may know that I am hwhy your
Elohim.
21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled
against me: they walked not in my
statutes, neither kept my judgments to do
them, which if a man do, he shall even
live in them; they polluted my Sabbaths:
then I said, I would pour out my fury upon
them, to accomplish my anger against
them in the wilderness.
22 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand,
and wrought for my name's sake, that it
should not be polluted in the sight of the
nations, in whose sight I brought them
2 forth.
23 I lifted up my hand to them also in
the wilderness, that I would scatter them
among the heathen, and disperse them
through the countries;
24 Because they had not executed my
judgments, but had despised my statutes,
and had polluted my Sabbaths and their
eyes were after their ahvot (fathers)'
idols.
25 Therefore I gave them also statutes
that were not good, and judgments
whereby they should not live;
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts,
in that they caused to pass through the
837
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
fire all that opens the womb that I might
make them desolate, to the end that they
might know that I am hwhy.
27 Therefore, son of man, speak to the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and say to
them, Thus says the Master (Adonai:
Lord) hwhy; Yet in this your ahvot
(fathers) have blasphemed me, in that
they have committed a trespass against
me.
28 For when I had brought them into the
land, for the which I lifted up my hand to
give it to them, then they saw every high
hill, and all the thick etzim (trees), and
they offered there their sacrifices, and
there they presented the provocation of
their offering: there also they made their
sweet savour, and poured out there their
drink offerings.
29 Then I said to them, What is the high
place whereunto you go? And the name
thereof is called Bamah1 to this day.
30 Therefore say to the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Thus says Master
hwhy; Are you polluted after the manner
of your ahvot (fathers)? And commit you
whoredom after their abominations?
31 For when you offer your gifts, when
you make your sons to pass through the
fire, you pollute yourselves with all your
idols, even to this day: and shall I be
enquired of by you, O house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)? As I live, says Master hwhy, I
will not be enquired of by you.
32 And that which comes into your mind
shall not be at all, that you say, We will
be as the nations, as the families of the
countries, to serve wood and stone.
33 As I live, says Master hwhy, surely
with a mighty hand, and with a stretched
out arm, and with fury poured out, will I
rule over you:
34 And I will bring you out from the
people, and will gather you out of the
countries wherein you are scattered, with
a mighty hand, and with a stretched out
1 Bamah means high place.
838
arm, and with fury poured out.
35 And I will bring you into the
wilderness of the people, and there will I
plead with you face to face.
36 Like as I pleaded with your ahvot
(fathers) in the wilderness of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), so will I plead with
you, says Master hwhy.
37 And I will cause you to pass under
the rod, and I will bring you into the bond
of the covenant:2
38 And I will purge out from among you
the rebels,3 and them that transgress
against me: I will bring them forth out of
the country where they sojourn, and they
shall not enter into the land of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): and you shall know that I am
hwhy.
39 As for you, O house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), thus says Master hwhy; Go you,
serve you every one his idols, and
hereafter also, if you will not hearken to
me: but pollute you my Set-Apart name
no more with your gifts, and with your
idols.
40 For in my Set-Apart mountain, in the
mountain of the height of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), says Master hwhy, there shall all
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), all of
them in the land, serve me: there will I
accept them, and there will I require your
offerings, and the first-fruits of your
oblations, with all your Set-Apart things.
41 I will accept you with your sweet
savour, when I bring you out from the
people, and gather you out of the
countries wherein you have been
scattered; and I will be sanctified in you
before the nations.
42 And you shall know that I am hwhy,
when I shall bring you into the land of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), into the country for
which I lifted up my hand to give it to your
ahvot (fathers).
2 Judgment first then covenant reiterated, its all
about the covenant.
3 Those that are rebellious will be removed.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
43 And there shall you remember your
ways, and all your doings, wherein you
have been defiled; and you shall loathe
yourselves in your own sight for all your
evils that you have committed.
44 And you shall know that I am hwhy,
when I have wrought with you for my
name's sake, not according to your
wicked ways, nor according to your
corrupt doings, O you house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), says Master hwhy.
45 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
46 Son of man, set your face toward the
south, and drop your word toward the
south, and prophesy against the forest of
the south field;
47 And say to the forest of the south,
Hear the word of hwhy; Thus says
Master hwhy; Behold, I will kindle a fire in
you, and it shall devour every green etz
(tree) in you, and every dry etz (tree): the
flaming flame shall not be quenched, and
all faces from the south to the north shall
be burned therein.
48 And all flesh shall see that I hwhy
have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
49 Then said I, Ah Master hwhy! They
say of me, does he not speak parables?
Chapter 21
1 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, set your face toward
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and drop your
word toward the Set-Apart places, and
prophesy against the land of Yah’sar’el
(Israel),
3 And say to the land of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), Thus says hwhy; Behold, I am
against you, and will draw forth my sword
out of its sheath, and will cut off from you
the righteous and the wicked.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you
the righteous and the wicked, therefore
shall my sword go forth out of his sheath
against all flesh from the south to the
north:
5 That all flesh may know that I hwhy
have drawn forth my sword out of his
839
sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 Be sad therefore, you son of man,
with the breaking of your loins; and with
bitterness and sadness before their eyes.
7 And it shall be, when they say to you,
why are you sad? That you shall answer,
for the report that comes; because it will
come: and every heart shall melt, and all
hands shall be feeble, and every ruach
(spirit) shall weary, and all knees shall be
weak as mayim (water): behold, it comes,
and shall be brought to pass, says Master
hwhy.
8 Again the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus
says hwhy; Say, A sword, a sword is
sharpened, and also polished:
10 It is sharpened to make a severe
slaughter; it is polished and flashes like
lightening: should we then rejoice in the
scepter of my son? No, it despises the
every etz (tree).
11 And he has given it to be polished,
that it may be handled: this sword is
sharpened, and it is polished, to give it
into the hand of the slayer.
12 Cry and moan, son of man: for it
shall be upon my people, it shall be upon
all the princes of Yah’sar’el (Israel): they
are given over to the sword: therefore
strike your thigh.
13 For it is a trial, and with this the
sword even despises the scepter? Shall it
not be, says Master hwhy.
14 You therefore, son of man, prophesy,
and clap your hands, and let the sword
come down twice and then thrice, the
sword of the slain: it is the sword of great
slaughter, which surrounds them.
15 I have set the point of the sword
against all their gates, that their heart
may weary, and their ruins be multiplied:
ah! It is made bright, it is wrapped up for
the slaughter.
16 Cut sharply on the left, then on the
right hand, or on the left, wherever your
face is appointed to strike.
17 I will also clap my hands together,
and I will cause my fury to rest: I hwhy
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
have said it.
18 The word of hwhy came to me
again, saying,
19 Also, you son of man, appoint two
routes that the sword of the king of
Babylon may come: both of them shall
originate in the single land: and appoint
yourself a place, appoint it at the head of
the way into the city.
20 Appoint a way that the sword may
come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and
to Yahudah (Judah) in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) the fortified.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the
fork of the road, at the route of the two
roads, he uses omens: he shakes his
arrows, he consults his idols, and he
looks at animal livers.
1
22 At his right hand was the divination
for Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), to appoint
commanders, to open the mouth in the
slaughter, to lift up the voice with
shouting, to appoint battering rams
against the gates, to cast a siege, and to
build a siege ramp.
23 And those in Jerusalem will see
these as false omens, they have sworn
oaths: but the king of Babylon will call to
remembrance the sin of Jerusalem, that
they may be seized. 2 you,
24 Therefore thus says Master hwhy;
Because you have made your guilt known
and your sins revealed by your actions, in
that your sins are no longer hidden, so
that in all your actions your sins do
manifest; because, I say, that you have
come to remembrance for judgment, you
shall be taken by force.
1 The right hand signifies judgment in the sefirotic
tree so we can see he chooses right to judge
Jerusalem.
2 Nebuchadnezzar was sent by YHWH as the one
to judge and called His servant so the king reminds
them of the sins they committed, which is why
YHWH allowed him to destroy Jerusalem, while the
lying prophets say this will not happen but it did
happen indeed.
840
25 And you, profane wicked prince of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), whose day is come,
when iniquity shall have an end,
26 Thus says the Master hwhy;
Remove your turban, and take off the
crown: its time for change: the lowly to be
exalted, and the proud to be brought low.
27 I will overthrow, overthrow, overthrow
it: and it shall be no more, until he comes
to whom it rightly belongs; and I will give
it.
28 And you, son of man, prophesy and
say, Thus says the Master hwhy
concerning the Ammonites, and
concerning their humiliation; even say,
The sword, the sword is drawn: for the
slaughter it is a shiny polished sword that
flashes like lightning to consume you:
29 While they see false visions for you,
while they use omens that are a lie
against you, to bring you upon the necks
of them that are slain, of the wicked,
whose day is come, when their iniquity
shall have an end.
30 Shall I cause the sword to return into
his sheath? I will judge you in the place
where you were created, in the land of
your nativity.
31 And I will pour out my wrath upon
I will blow against you in the fire of
my wrath, and deliver you into the hand
of brutal warriors, who are skilful to
destroy.
32 You shall be for fuel to the fire; your
blood shall be in the midst of the land;
you shall be no more remembered: for I
hwhy have spoken it.
Chapter 22
1 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
2 Now, son of man, will you judge, will
you judge the bloody city? Yes, you shall
show her all her abominations.
3 Then say you, Thus says the Master
hwhy, The city sheds blood in the midst
of it, that her time may come, and makes
idols against herself to defile herself.
4 You are become guilty in your blood
that you have shed; and have defiled
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
yourself in your idols which you have
made; and you have caused your days to
draw near, and are come even to your
years: therefore have I made you a
reproach to the nations, and a mocking to
all countries.
5 Those near, and those that be far from
you, shall mock you, unclean defiled is
your name and great confusion.
6 Behold, the princes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), every one were in you to their
power to shed blood.
7 They have despised father and
mother: in the midst of you have they
dealt by oppression with the foreigner: in
you have they vexed the fatherless and
the widow.
8 You have despised my Set-Apart
things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
9 In you are men that carry tales to shed
blood: and in you they eat upon the
mountains: in the midst of you they
commit lewdness.
10 In you have they uncovered their
1
ahvot (fathers) nakedness: in you have
they defiled women during their
menstrual cycle.
11 And one has committed abomination
with his neighbour's wife; and another
has lewdly defiled his daughter in law;
and another in you has defiled his sister,2
his father's daughter.
12 In you have they taken gifts to shed
blood; you have taken usury and charge
interest,3 and you have greedily gained of
your neighbours by extortion, and have
forgotten me, says the Master hwhy.
13 Behold, therefore I have smitten my
hand at your dishonest gain which you
have made, and at your blood which has
1 Men sleeping with step-mothers, or the second
wives of their fathers same as First Corinthians
5:1.
2 Half sisters from the father’s wives are in view.
3 Israelites were not to charge interest to one
another. Christians also are not to charge interest
to other Christians when giving loans!
been in the midst of you.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your
hands be strong, in the days that I shall
deal with you? I hwhy have spoken it,
and will do it.
15 And I will scatter you among the
nations, and disperse you in the
countries, and will consume your
filthiness out of you.
16 And you shall take your inheritance
in yourself in the sight of the nations, and
you shall know that I am hwhy.
17 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
18 Son of man, the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) has become slag to me: all they
are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in
the midst of the furnace; they are even
the slag of silver.
19 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy; Because you are all become slag,
behold, therefore I will gather you into the
midst of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
20 As they gather silver, and brass, and
iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of
the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to
melt it; so will I gather you in my anger
and in my fury, and I will leave you there,
and melt you.
21 Yes, I will gather you, and blow upon
you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall
be melted in the midst thereof.
22 As silver is melted in the midst of the
furnace, so shall you be melted in the
midst thereof; and you shall know that I
hwhy have poured out my fury upon you.
23 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
24 Son of man, say to her, You are the
land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon
in the day of indignation.
25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets
in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion
ravening the prey; they have devoured
souls; they have taken the treasure and
precious things; they have made her
many widows in the midst thereof.
26 Her kohenim (priests) have violated
my Torah, and have profaned my Set-
Apart things: they have put no difference
841
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
between the Set-Apart and profane,
neither have they showed difference
between the unclean and the clean,1 and
have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths,
and I am profaned among them. 2 the daughters of one mother:
27 Her princes in the midst thereof are
like wolves ravening the prey, to shed
blood, and to destroy souls, to get
dishonest gain.3
28 And her prophets have coated them
with whitewash, seeing vanity, and
divining lies to them, saying, Thus says
the Master hwhy, when the hwhy has not
spoken.4
29 The people of the land have used
oppression, and exercised robbery, and
have vexed the poor and needy: yes,
they have oppressed the foreigner
wrongfully.
30 And I sought for a man among them
that should make up the hedge, and
stand in the gap before me for the land,
that I should not destroy it: but I found
none.
31 Therefore have I poured out my
indignation upon them; I have consumed
them with the fire of my wrath: their own
way have I recompensed upon their
heads, says the Master hwhy.
1 Even today the pastors in churches do not know
and do not show any regard for clean or unclean
and quite happily eat and give to eat unclean, they
profane YHWH’s holy days and venerate on a false
day of the sun, ascribed to sun worship in the
past.
2 Indeed, YHWH is profaned as ‘Lord,’ ‘God’ and
other unclean titles. The Saturday Sabbath is
laughed upon and people who practice it are called
legalistic and stuck in the law.
3 The same is happening today in Roman Catholic
and Anglican churches. For dishonest gain truth is
suppressed!
4 Many in Christendom do the same vanity, lying
while YHWH has not spoken to them. They do not
even know the name of YHWH yet call themselves
His prophet, impossibility.
842
Chapter 23
1 The word of hwhy came again to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, there were two women,5
3 And they committed whoredoms in
Mitzrayim (Egypt); they committed
whoredoms in their youth: there their
breasts were handled, and there lovers
fondled their maiden nipples.
4 And the names of them were Aholah
the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and
they were my wives, and they bore sons
and daughters. Thus were their names;
Shomeron (Samaria) is Aholah, and
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) Aholibah.6
5 And Aholah played the harlot when
she was my wife; and she lusted after her
lovers, the Assyrians her neighbours,
6 Which were clothed with blue,
commanders and rulers, all of them
desirable young men, horsemen riding
upon horses.
7 Thus she committed her whoredoms
with them, with all them that were the
chosen men of Assyria, and with all on
whom she lusted: with all their idols she
defiled herself.
8 Neither did she left her whoredoms
when she was brought from Mitzrayim
(Egypt):7 for in her youth they slept with
her, and they fondled her virgin breasts,
and poured their whoredom upon her.
9 Therefore I have delivered her into the
hand of her lovers, into the hand of the
Assyrians, upon whom she lusted.
10 They uncovered her nakedness: they
5 The two wives of YHWH, since YHWH is the
Patriarch and revealer of Patriarchal marriage and
the one who appointed them.
6 In drash (allegory) YHWH declared himself to His
two wives, He was married to them under Mount
Sinai. These are the two houses of Israel.
7 Note the two wives came out, the twelve tribes
and so the marriage was not with a single bride
but with two brides under Mount Sinai. Most shy
away from this reality but this is The Reality.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
took her sons and her daughters, and
slew her with the sword: and she became
famous among women; for they had
pronounced judgment upon her.
11 And when her sister Aholibah saw
this, she was more corrupt in her
inordinate love than she, and in her
whoredoms more than her sister in her
whoredoms.
12 She lusted with the Assyrians her
neighbours, commanders and rulers
clothed most gorgeously, horsemen
riding upon horses, all of them desirable
young men.
13 Then I saw that she was defiled, they
have both taken the same path,
14 And that she increased her
whoredoms: for when she saw men
carved upon the wall, the images of the
Chaldeans carved in red,
15 Girded with girdles upon their loins,
exceeding in dyed attire upon their
heads, all of them princes to look to, after
the manner of the Babylonians of
Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
16 And as soon as she saw them
looking intently, she lusted after them,
and sent messengers to them into
Chaldea.
17 And the Babylonians came to her
into the bed of love, and they defiled her
with their whoredom, and she was defiled
with them, and her mind was turned from
them in disgust.
18 So she uncovered her whoredoms,
and uncovered her nakedness: then my
mind was turned from her in disgust, like
as my mind was turned away from her
sister in disgust.
19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in
calling to remembrance the days of her
youth, wherein she had played the harlot
in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
20 For she lusted even after their
1
temple prostitutes, whose flesh is as the
1 The word here translated ‘lovers’ or paramours in
most translations is in the Hebrew piligesh, which
flesh of donkeys, and whose emission is
like the emission of horses.
21 Thus you will recall the disgusting
practice of your youth when the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) fondled your nipples and
squeezed your maiden breasts.
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus says the
Master hwhy; Behold, I will raise up your
lovers against you, from whom your mind
is disgusted, and I will bring them against
you on every side;
23 The Babylonians, and all the
Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa,
and all the Assyrians with them: all of
them desirable young men, commanders
and rulers, great princes and men of
renown, all of them riding upon horses.
24 And they shall come against you with
chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with
an assembly of people, which shall set
against you buckler and shield and
helmet round about: and I will set
judgment before them, and they shall
judge you according to their judgments.
25 And I will set my jealousy against
you, and they shall deal furiously with
you: they shall take away your nose and
your ears; and your remnant shall fall by
the sword: they shall take your sons and
your daughters; and your residue shall be
devoured by the fire.
26 They shall also strip you out of your
clothes, and take away your fair jewels.
27 Thus will I make your lewdness to
means a ‘concubine.’ It is difficult to say that these
are the Egyptians themselves as the construct of
the sentence and the wording suggest that men
who were in the Egyptian temples are in view
hence why would Ezekiel use the word pilegesh for
a concubine?
Although this proves extremely difficult to translate
but since it is masculine plural so it suggests that
male temple prostitutes in Egypt are in view during
Israel’s stay there, which we know was common in
the nations such as Egypt and Assyria. The whole
text is drash (allegory) to explain Israel the two
brides and how they had gone prostituting. The
temple prostitutes were specially kept men of burly
stock which shows why the next phrase says their
flesh was like donkey’s…
843
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
cease from you, and your whoredom
brought from the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt): so that you shall not lift up your
eyes to them, nor remember Mitzrayim
(Egypt) any more.
28 For thus says the Master hwhy;
Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of
them whom you hate, into the hand of
them from whom your mind is disgusted:
29 And they shall deal with you
hatefully, and shall take away all your
labour, and shall leave you naked and
bare: and the nakedness of your
whoredoms shall be uncovered, both
your lewdness and your whoredoms.
30 I will do these things to you, because
you have gone whoring after the nations,
and because you are polluted with their
idols.
31 You have walked in the way of your
sister; therefore will I give her cup into
your hand.
32 Thus says the Master hwhy; You
shall drink of your sister's cup deep and
large: you shall be laughed to scorn and
be in derision; it contains much.
33 You shall be filled with drunkenness
and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment
and desolation, with the cup of your sister
Shomeron (Samaria).
34 You shall even drink it and drain it
out, and you shall break the shards, and
tear at your breasts: for I have spoken it,
says the Master hwhy.
35 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy; Because you have forgotten me,
and cast me behind your back, therefore
you will also bear your lewdness and your
whoredoms.
36 hwhy said moreover to me; Son of
man, will you judge Aholah and
Aholibah? Yes, declare to them their
abominations;
37 That they have committed adultery,
and blood is in their hands, and with their
idols have they committed adultery, and
have also caused their sons, whom they
bare to me, to pass for them through the
fire, to devour them.
38 Moreover this they have done to me:
844
they have defiled my sanctuary in the
same day, and have profaned my
Sabbaths.
39 For when they had slain their
children to their idols, then they came the
same day into my sanctuary to profane it;
and, lo, thus have they done in the midst
of my house.
40 And furthermore, that you have sent
for men to come from far, to whom a
messenger was sent; and, lo, they came:
for whom you did wash yourself, painted
your eyes, and decked yourself with
jewelry,
41 And sat upon a magnificent couch
and a table prepared before it,
whereupon you have set my incense and
my oil.
42 And a voice of a multitude being at
ease was with her: and with the men of
the common sort were brought Sabeans
from the wilderness, which put bracelets
upon their hands, and beautiful crowns
upon their heads.
43 Then said I to her that was worn out
in adulteries, Will they now commit
whoredoms with her, and she with them?
44 Yet they went in to her, as they go in
to a woman that plays the harlot: so went
they in to Aholah and to Aholibah, the
lewd women.
45 And the righteous men, they shall
judge them after the manner of
adulteresses, and after the manner of
women that shed blood; because they
are adulteresses, and blood is in their
hands.
46 For thus says the Master hwhy; I will
bring up a company upon them, and will
give them to be removed and spoiled.
47 And the company shall stone them
with stones,1 and dispatch them with their
swords; they shall slay their sons and
1 Israel should have been stoned for adultery but
the Messiah took the stoning upon Himself so He
was stoned instead. See http://www.abrahamic-

their daughters, and burn up their houses
with fire.
48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease
out of the land that all women may be
taught not to do after your lewdness.
49 And they shall recompense your
lewdness upon you, and you shall bear
the sins of your idols: and you shall know
that I am the Master hwhy.
Chapter 24
1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth
month, in the tenth day of the month, the
word of hwhy came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, write the name of the
day, even of this same day: the king of
Babylon set himself against Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) this same day.
3 And utter a parable to the rebellious
house, and say to them, Thus says the
Master hwhy; Set on a pot, set it on, and
also pour mayim (water) into it:
4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even
every good piece, the thigh, and the
shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn
also the bones under it, and make it boil
well, and let them cook the bones of it
therein.
6 Therefore thus says the Master hwhy;
Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose
scum is therein, and whose scum is not
gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece;
let no lot fall upon it.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her;
she set it upon the top of a rock; she
poured it not upon the ground, to cover it
with dust;
8 That it might cause fury to come up to
take vengeance; I have set her blood
upon the top of a rock, that it should not
be covered.
9 Therefore thus says the Master hwhy;
Woe to the bloody city! I will even make
the pile for fire great.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire,
consume the flesh, and spice it well, and
let the bones be burned.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals
thereof, that the brass of it may be hot,
845
and may burn, and that the filthiness of it
may be molten in it, that the scum of it
may be consumed.
12 She has wearied herself with lies,
and her great scum went not forth out of
her: her scum shall be in the fire.
13 In your filthiness is lewdness:
because I have purged you, and you
were not purged, you shall not be purged
from your filthiness any more, till I have
caused my fury to rest upon you.
14 I hwhy have spoken it: it shall come
to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back,
neither will I spare, neither will I repent;
according to your ways, and according to
your doings, shall they judge you, says
the Master hwhy.
15 Also the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
16 Son of man, behold, I take away
from you the desire of your eyes with a
stroke:1 yet neither shall you mourn nor
weep, neither shall your tears run down.
17 Forgo to cry, make no mourning for
the dead, bind the turban of your head
upon you, and put on your sandals upon
your feet, and cover not your lips, and eat
not the lechem (bread) of men.
18 So I spoke to the people in the
morning: and at the evening my wife died;
and I did in the morning as I was
commanded.
19 And the people said to me, Will you
not tell us what these things are to us,
that you do so?
20 Then I answered them, The word of
hwhy came to me, saying,
21 Speak to the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), Thus says the Master hwhy;
Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the
excellence of your strength, the desire of
your eyes, and that which your soul
pities; and your sons and your daughters
whom you have left shall fall by the
1 YHWH was taking away Ezekiel’s dear wife. How
difficult a test for the prophet of YHWH not to
weep for his dearly beloved wife.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
sword.
22 And you shall do as I have done: you
shall not cover your lips, nor eat the
lechem (bread) of men.
23 And your turbans shall be upon your
heads, and your sandals upon your feet:
you shall not mourn nor weep; but you
shall pine away for your iniquities, and
mourn one toward another.
24 Thus Ezekiel is to you a sign:
according to all that he has done shall
you do: and when this comes, you shall
know that I am the Master hwhy.
25 Also, you son of man, shall it not be
in the day when I take from them their
strength, the joy of their glory, the desire
of their eyes, and that whereupon they
set their minds, their sons and their
daughters,
26 That he that escapes in that day
shall come to you, to cause you to hear it
with your ears?
27 In that day shall your mouth be
opened to him who is escaped, and you
shall speak, and be no more dumb: and
you shall be a sign to them; and they
shall know that I am hwhy.
Chapter 25
1 The word of hwhy came again to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, set your face against the
Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
3 And say to the Ammonites, Hear the
word of the Master hwhy; Thus says the
Master hwhy; Because you said, Aha,
against my sanctuary, when it was
profaned; and against the land of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), when it was desolate;
and against the house of Yahudah
(Judah), when they went into captivity;
4 Behold, therefore I will deliver you to
the men of the east for a possession, and
they shall set their palaces in you, and
make their dwellings in you: they shall eat
your fruit, and they shall drink your milk.
5 And I will make Rabbah a stable for
camels, and the Ammonites a resting
place for flocks: and you shall know that I
am hwhy.
846
6 For thus says the Master hwhy;
Because you have clapped your hands,
and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in
heart with all your despite against the
land of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
7 Behold, therefore I will stretch out my
hand upon you, and will deliver you for a
spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off
from the people, and I will cause you to
perish out of the countries: I will destroy
you; and you shall know that I am hwhy.
8 Thus says the Master hwhy; Because
that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the
house of Yahudah (Judah) is like to all
the nations;
9 Therefore, behold, I will open the side
of Moab from the cities, from his cities
which are on his frontiers, the glory of the
country, Beyth-Yeshimoth, Baal-meon,
and Qiryathayim,
10 To the men of the east with the
Ammonites, and will give them in
possession, that the Ammonites may not
be remembered among the nations.
11 And I will execute judgments upon
Moab; and they shall know that I am
hwhy.
12 Thus says the Master hwhy;
Because that Edom has dealt against the
house of Yahudah (Judah) by taking
vengeance, and has greatly offended,
and revenged himself upon them;
13 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy; I will also stretch out my hand
upon Edom, and will cut off man and
beast from it; and I will make it desolate
from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall
by the sword.1
14 And I will lay my vengeance upon
Edom by the hand of my people
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and they shall do in
Edom according to my anger and
according to my fury; and they shall know
my vengeance, says the Master hwhy.
15 Thus says the Master hwhy;
1 Destruction of Southern Jordan and Saudi
Arabia.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
Because the Plushtim (Philistines) have
dealt by revenge, and have taken
vengeance with a despiteful heart, to
destroy it for the old hatred;
16 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy; Behold, I will stretch out my hand
upon the Plushtim (Philistines), and I will
cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the
remnant of the sea coast.
17 And I will execute great vengeance
upon them with furious rebukes; and they
shall know that I am hwhy, when I shall
lay my vengeance upon them.
Chapter 26
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh
year, in the first day of the month, that the
word of hwhy came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, because that Tyrus has
said against Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
Aha, she is broken that was the gates of
the people: she is turned to me: I shall be
replenished, now she is laid waste:
3 Therefore thus says the Master hwhy;
Behold, I am against you, O Tyrus, and
will cause many nations to come up
against you, as the sea cause his waves
to come up.
4 And they shall destroy the walls of
Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will
also scrape her dust from her, and make
her like the top of a rock.
5 It shall be a place for the spreading of
nets in the midst of the sea: for I have
spoken it, says the Master hwhy: and it
shall become a spoil to the nations.
6 And her daughters who are in the field
shall be slain by the sword; and they shall
know that I am hwhy.
7 For thus says the Master hwhy;
Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon, a king of
kings, from the north, with horses, and
with chariots, and with horsemen, and
companies, and much people.
8 He shall slay with the sword your
daughters in the field: and he shall make
a siege against you, and cast a siege
ramp against you, and lift up the buckler
against you.
847
9 And he shall set engines of war
against your walls, and with his axes he
shall break down your towers.
10 By reason of the abundance of his
horses their dust shall cover you: your
walls shall shake at the noise of the
horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the
chariots, when he shall enter into your
gates, as men enter into a city wherein is
made a breach.
11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he
tread down all your streets: he shall slay
your people by the sword, and your
strong garrisons shall go down to the
ground.
12 And they shall make a spoil of your
riches, and make a prey of your
merchandise: and they shall break down
your walls, and destroy your pleasant
houses: and they shall lay your stones
and your timber and your dust in the
midst of the mayim (water).
13 And I will cause the noise of your
songs to cease; and the sound of your
harps shall no more be heard.
14 And I will make you like the top of a
rock: you shall be a place to spread nets
upon; you shall be built no more: for I
hwhy have spoken it, says the Master
hwhy.
15 Thus says the Master hwhy to Tyrus;
Shall not the isles shake at the sound of
your fall, when the wounded cry, when
the slaughter is made in the midst of you?
16 Then all the princes of the sea shall
come down from their thrones, and lay
away their robes, and put off their
embroidered garments: they shall clothe
themselves with trembling; they shall sit
upon the ground, and shall tremble at
every moment, and be astonished at you.
17 And they shall take up a lamentation
for you, and say to you, How are you
destroyed, that were inhabited of
seafaring men, the renowned city, which
were strong in the sea, she and her
inhabitants, which cause their terror to be
on all that haunt it!
18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day
of your fall; yes, the isles that are in the
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
sea shall be troubled at your departure.
19 For thus says the Master hwhy;
When I shall make you a desolate city,
like the cities that are not inhabited; when
I shall bring up the deep upon you, and
great waters shall cover you;
20 When I shall bring you down with
them that descend into the pit, with the
people of old time, and shall set you in
the low parts of the earth, in places
desolate of old, with them that go down to
the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I
shall set glory in the land of the living;
21 I will make you a terror, and you shall
be no more: though you be sought for,
yet shall you never be found again, says
the Master hwhy.
Chapter 27
1 The word of hwhy came again to me,
saying,
2 Now, you son of man, take up a
lamentation for Tyrus;
3 And say to Tyrus, O you that are
situate at the entry of the sea, which are
a merchant of the people for many isles,
Thus says the Master hwhy; O Tyrus,
you have said, I am of perfect beauty.
4 Your borders are in the midst of the
seas, your builders have perfected your
beauty.1
5 They have made all your ship boards
of fir etzim (trees) of Senir: they have
taken cedars from Lebanon to make
masts for you.
6 Of the oaks of Bashan have they
made your oars; the company of the
Ashurites have made your benches of
ivory, brought out of the isles of Kittim.
7 Fine linen with embroidered work from
Mitzrayim (Egypt) was that which you
spread forth to be your sail; blue and
purple from the isles of Elishah was that
which covered you.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arwad
1 YHWH is speaking judgment to the Islamic
nations in the future.
848
were your mariners: your wise men, O
Tyrus, that were in you, were your pilots.
9 The elders of Gebal and the wise men
thereof were in you repairing your seams:
all the ships of the sea with their mariners
were in you to occupy your
merchandise.2
10 They of Persia (Iran) and of Lud
(Turkey) and of Phut (Lybia) were in your
army, your men of war: they hanged the
shield and helmet in you; they set forth
your comeliness.
11 The men of Arwad with your army
were upon your walls round about, and
the Gammadites were in your towers:
they hanged their shields upon your walls
round about; they have made your beauty
perfect.
12 Tarshish (Lebanon) was your
merchant by reason of the multitude of all
kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and
lead, they traded in your fairs.3
13 Yavan (Western Turkey), Tubal
(regions of Turkey), and Meshech
(regions of Turkey), they were your
merchants: they traded the persons of
men4 and vessels of brass in your
market.
14 They of the house of Togarmah
(regions of Turkey) traded in your fairs
with horses and horsemen and mules.5
15 The men of Dedan6 were your
merchants; many isles were the
merchandise of your hand: they brought
you for a present horns of ivory and
ebony.
2 Crude oil being shipped from the Gulf coast from
Saudi Arabia.
3 Turkey was a major supplier of these metals long
ago in ancient times. They still have the mines that
once existed.
4 Saudi Arabia purchasing slaves from these
markets, a business still done in Arabia when they
bring their slaves secretly from Sudan.
5 Turkey is famous for its horses.
6 Northern Arabian Peninsula.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
16 Syria was your merchant by reason
of the multitude of the wares of your
making: they occupied in your fairs with
emeralds, purple, and embroidered work,
and fine linen, and coral, and agate.1
17 Yahudah (Judah), and the land of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), they were your
merchants: they traded in your market
wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and
honey, and oil, and balm.
18 Damascus was your merchant in the
multitude of the wares of your making, for
the multitude of all riches; in the wine of
Helbon, and white wool.
19 Dan also and Yavan (Western
Turkey) going to and fro occupied in your
fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus,
were in your market.
20 Dedan was your merchant in
precious clothes for chariots.
21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar,
they occupied with you in lambs, and
rams, and goats: in these were they your
merchants.
22 The merchants of Sheba and
Raamah, they were your merchants: they
occupied in your fairs with chief of all
spices, and with all precious stones, and
gold.
23 Haran, and Canneh, and Ayden
(Eden), the merchants of Sheba, Asshur,
and Chilmad, were your merchants.
24 These were your merchants in all
sorts of things, in blue clothes, and
embroidered work, and in chests of rich
apparel, bound with cords, and made of
cedar, among your merchandise.
25 The ships of Tarshish (Lebanon) did
sing of you in your market: and you were
replenished, and made very glorious in
the midst of the seas.
26 Your rowers have brought you into
great waters: the east wind has broken
you in the midst of the seas.
1 This is still the case Syria and Saudi Arabia. See
how this ties in with Rev 18. See world war III –
Unmasking the End-Times Beast.
27 Your riches, and your fairs, your
merchandise, your mariners, and your
pilots, your repairers of seams, and the
occupiers of your merchandise, and all
your men of war, that are in you, and in
all your company which is in the midst of
you, shall fall into the midst of the seas in
the day of your ruin.
28 The suburbs shall shake at the
sound of the cry of your sailors.
29 And all that handle the oar, the
mariners, and all the sailors of the sea,
shall come down from their ships, they
shall stand upon the land;
30 And shall cause their voice to be
heard against you, and shall cry bitterly,
and shall cast up dust upon their heads,
they shall wallow themselves in the
ashes:2
31 And they shall make themselves
utterly bald for you, and gird them with
sackcloth, and they shall weep for you
with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32 And in their wailing they shall take up
a lamentation for you, and lament over
you, saying, What city is like Tyrus,3 like
the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When your wares went forth out of
the seas, you filled many people; you did
enrich the kings of the earth4 with the
multitude of your riches and of your
merchandise.
34 In the time when you shall be broken
by the seas in the depths of the waters
your merchandise and all your company
in the midst of you shall fall.
35 All the inhabitants of the isles shall
be astonished at you, and their kings
shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled
in their countenance.

shall hiss at you; you shall be a terror,

Chapter 28
1 The word of hwhy came again to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, say to the prince of
Tyrus, Thus says the Master (Adon: Lord)
hwhy; Because your heart is lifted up,
and you have said, I am El, I sit in the
seat of Elohim, in the midst of the seas;
yet you are a man, and not El, though
you set your heart as the heart of El:
3 Behold, you are wiser than Dani’el;
there is no secret that they can hide from
you:
4 With your wisdom and with your
understanding you have gotten you
riches, and have gotten gold and silver
into your treasures:
5 By your great wisdom and by your
trade you have increased your riches,
and your heart is lifted up because of
your riches:
6 Therefore thus says the Master hwhy;
Because you have set your heart as the
heart of Elohim;
7 Behold, therefore I will bring
foreigners upon you, the terrible of the
nations: and they shall draw their swords
against the beauty of your wisdom, and
they shall defile your brightness.1
8 They shall bring you down to the pit,
and you shall die the deaths of them that
are slain in the midst of the seas.
9 Will you yet say before him that slays
you, I am Elohim? But you shall be a
man, and no El, in the hand of him that
slays you.
10 You shall die the deaths of the
uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners:
for I have spoken it, says the Master
hwhy.
11 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation
1 UK and the USA.
850
upon the king of Tyrus,2 and say to him,
Thus says the Master hwhy; You seal up
the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in
beauty.3
13 You have been in Ayden4 (Eden) the
garden of Elohim; every precious stone
was your covering, the sardius, topaz,
and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and
the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and
the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship
of your tambourines and of your flutes
was prepared in you in the day that you
were created.
14 You are the anointed cherub that
covers; and I have set you so: you were
upon the Set-Apart mountain of Elohim;
you have walked up and down in the
midst of the stones of fire.
15 You were perfect in your ways from
the day that you were created, till iniquity
was found in you.
16 By the multitude of your merchandise
2 Allegorical for the present description of the king
of Arabia.
3 Describing Satan but it actually points to the
Islamic nation.
4 The King of Tyre was not in Gan Ayden but this
is in reference to Hallel ben Shachar, who was the
praise leader of heavenly congregation that is
Satan. When we count the stones on the
breastplate (chashan - chet, sheen, nun) of Hallel
ben Shachar (Satan) there are 9 stones and when
we compare it to the breastplate (chashan - chet,
sheen, nun) High Priest in Exo 28: 17, which has
12 stones, we notice that the entire 3rd row is
missing. This is of three tribes which are Issachar,
Asher and Naphtali because each stone
represented the 12 tribes. Interestingly, chashan -
chet, sheen, nun (breastplate) is permutation of
nachash – nun, chet, sheen (serpent). So we see,
that 9 stones of Satan versus the 12 stones of the
High Priest. (9 is the value of TET). The prophetic
reason why the 3rd row of the stones of tribes of
Issachar, Asher and Naphtali is omitted because in
Gen 49:14,19, 20 we see that it says in Ya’akob’s
blessing that Gad will overcome, Asher will
produce royal descendant and Issachar will bear
burden but Satan can never be an over comer,
produce royal seed and bear the burden of
humanity.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
they have filled the midst of you with
violence, and you have sinned: therefore
I will cast you as profane out of the
mountain of Elohim: and I will destroy
you, O covering cherub, from the midst of
the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was lifted up because of
your beauty; you have corrupted your
wisdom by reason of your brightness: I
will cast you to the ground; I will lay you
before kings, that they may behold you.
18 You have defiled your sanctuaries by
the multitude of your iniquities, by the
iniquity of your trade; therefore will I bring
forth a fire from the midst of you, it shall
devour you,1 and I will bring you to ashes
upon the earth in the sight of all them that
behold you.
19 All they that know you among the
people shall be horrified at you: you shall
be a terror, and you shall be no more.
20 Again the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
21 Son of man, set your face against
Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 And say, Thus says the Master
hwhy; Behold, I am against you, O Sidon;
and I will be glorified in the midst of you:
and they shall know that I am hwhy,
when I shall have executed judgments in
her, and shall be set-apart in her.
23 For I will send into her pestilence,
and blood into her streets; and the
wounded shall be judged in the midst of
her by the sword upon her on every side;
and they shall know that I am hwhy.
24 And they shall no more be a pricking
brier to the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
nor any grieving thorn of all that are
round about them, that despised them;
and they shall know that I am the Master
hwhy.
25 Thus says the Master hwhy; When I
shall have gathered the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) from the people among
1 The fire will come from crude oil burning in
explosions.
851
whom they are scattered, and shall be
set-apart in them in the sight of the
nations, then shall they dwell in their land
that I have given to my servant Ya’acob
(Jacob).
26 And they shall dwell safely therein,
and shall rebuild houses, and plant
vineyards; yes, they shall dwell with
confidence, when I have executed
judgments upon all those that despise
them round about them; and they shall
know that I am hwhy their Elohim.
Chapter 29
1 In the tenth year, in the tenth month,
in the twelfth day of the month, the word
of hwhy came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, set your face against
Pharaoh King of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
prophesy against him, and against all
Mitzrayim (Egypt):
3 Speak, and say, Thus says the Master
hwhy; Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh
king of Mitzrayim (Egypt), the great
monster that lies in the midst of his rivers,
which has said, My river is my own, and I
have made it for myself.
4 But I will put hooks in your jaws, and I
will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to
your scales, and I will bring you up out of
the midst of your rivers, and all the fish of
your rivers shall stick to your scales.
5 And I will leave you thrown into the
wilderness, you and all the fish of your
rivers: you shall fall upon the open fields;
you shall not be brought together, nor
gathered: I have given you for food to the
beasts of the field and to the fowls of the
shamayim (heavens).
6 And all the inhabitants of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) shall know that I am hwhy,
because they have been a staff of reed to
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 When they took hold of you by your
hand, you broke, and tore their shoulders:
and when they leaned upon you, you
broke, and made all their loins to shake.
8 Therefore thus says the Master hwhy;
Behold, I will bring a sword upon you, and
cut off man and beast out of you.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
9 And the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt)
shall be desolate and waste; and they
shall know that I am hwhy: because he
has said, The River is mine, and I have
made it.
10 Behold, therefore I am against you,
and against your rivers, and I will make
the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) utterly
waste and desolate, from Migdol (delta
region) to Seweneh (Aswan), as far as
the border of Cush (Sudan).
11 No foot of man shall pass through it,
nor foot of beast shall pass through it,
neither shall it be inhabited forty years. 1
12 And I will make the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) desolate in the midst of the
countries that are desolate, and her cities
among the cities that are laid waste shall
be desolate forty years: and I will scatter
the Mitzrim (Egyptians) among the
nations, and will disperse them through
the countries.
13 Yet thus says the Master hwhy; At
the end of forty years will I gather the
Mitzrim (Egyptians) from the people
where they were scattered:
14 And I will return the captivity of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and will cause them to
return into the land of Pathros, into the
land of their habitation; and they shall be
there a lowly kingdom.
15 It shall be the lowest of the
kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any
more above the nations: for I will diminish
them that they shall no more rule over the
nations.
16 And it shall be no more the
confidence of the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), which brings their iniquity to
remembrance, when they shall look after
them: but they shall know that I am the
Master hwhy.
17 And it came to pass in the twenty-
seventh year, in the first month, in the
first day of the month, the word of hwhy
1 The judgment would last forty years then Egypt
would reconcile with Israel.
852
came to me, saying,
18 Son of man, Nebukadretzar king of
Babylon caused his army to serve a great
service against Tyrus: every head was
shaved, and every shoulder was peeled:
yet had he no wages, nor his army, for
Tyrus, for the service that he had served
against it:
19 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy; Behold, I will give the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) to Nebukadretzar king
of Babylon; and he shall take her
multitude, and take her spoil, and take
her prey; and it shall be the wages for his
army.
20 I have given him the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) for his labour
wherewith he served against it, because
they wrought for me, says the Master
hwhy.
21 In that day will I cause the horn of
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to bud
forth, and I will give you the opening of
the mouth in the midst of them; and they
shall know that I am hwhy.
Chapter 30
1 The word of hwhy came again to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus
says the Master hwhy; Howl you, wail
alas the day is here!
3 For the day is near, even the day of
hwhy is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the
time of the nations.
4 And the sword shall come upon
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and great pain shall be
in Cush (Sudan), when the slain shall fall
in Mitzrayim (Egypt), and they shall take
away her multitude, and her foundations
shall be broken down.
5 Cush (Sudan), and Libya, and Lydia
(Turkey), and all the mingled people, and
Kub, and the sons of the land of the
covenant,2 shall fall with them by the
sword.
2 Israelites in Egypt.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
6 Thus says hwhy; They also that
uphold Mitzrayim (Egypt) shall fall; and
the pride of her power shall come down:
from the tower of Seweneh (Aswan) shall
they fall in it by the sword, says the
Master hwhy.
7 And they shall be desolate in the
midst of the countries that are desolate,
and her cities shall be in the midst of the
cities that are wasted.
8 And they shall know that I am hwhy,
when I have set a fire in Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and when all her helpers shall be
destroyed.
9 In that day shall messengers go forth
from me in ships to make the careless
Cushite (Sudanese) afraid, and great
pain shall come upon them, as in the day
of Mitzrayim (Egypt): for, lo, it comes.
10 Thus says the Master hwhy; I will
also make the multitude of Mitzrayim
(Egypt) to cease by the hand of
Nebukadretzar king of Babylon.
11 He and his people with him, the
terrible of the nations, shall be brought to
destroy the land: and they shall draw their
swords against Mitzrayim (Egypt), and fill
the land with the slain.
12 And I will make the rivers dry, and
sell the land into the hand of the wicked:
and I will make the land waste, and all
that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I
the hwhy have spoken it.
13 Thus says the Master hwhy; I will
also destroy the idols, and I will cause
their images to cease out of Noph; and
there shall be no more a prince of the
land of Mitzrayim (Egypt): and I will put a
fear in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
14 And I will make Pathros desolate,
and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute
judgments in No.
15 And I will pour my fury upon Sin
(Pelusium), the strength of Mitzrayim
(Egypt); and I will cut off the multitude of
No (Thebes).
16 And I will set fire in Mitzrayim
(Egypt): Sin (Pelusium) shall have great
pain, and No (Thebes) shall be torn
asunder, and Noph shall have distresses
853
daily.
17 The young men of Awen and of Pi-
beseth shall fall by the sword: and these
cities shall go into captivity.
18 At Tahapahnehes also the day shall
be darkened, when I shall break there the
yokes of Mitzrayim (Egypt): and the pomp
of her strength shall cease in her: as for
her, a cloud shall cover her, and her
daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Thus will I execute judgments in
Mitzrayim (Egypt): and they shall know
that I am hwhy.
20 And it came to pass in the eleventh
year, in the first month, in the seventh
day of the month, that the word of hwhy
came to me, saying,
21 Son of man, I have broken the arm of
Pharaoh King of Mitzrayim (Egypt); and,
lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed,
to put a bandage to bind it, to make it
strong to hold the sword.
22 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy; Behold, I am against Pharaoh King
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and will break his
arms, the strong, and that which was
broken; and I will cause the sword to fall
out of his hand.
23 And I will scatter the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) among the nations, and will
disperse them through the countries.
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the
king of Babylon, and put my sword in his
hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms,
and he shall groan before him with the
groaning of a deadly wounded man.
25 But I will strengthen the arms of the
king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh
shall fall down; and they shall know that I
am hwhy, when I shall put my sword into
the hand of the king of Babylon, and he
shall stretch it out upon the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
26 And I will scatter the Mitzrim
(Egyptians) among the nations, and
disperse them among the countries; and
they shall know that I am hwhy.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
Chapter 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh
year, in the third month, in the first day of
the month, that the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak to Pharaoh King of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and to his multitude;
whom are you like in your greatness?
1
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in
Lebanon with fair branches, and with a
shadowing shroud, and of a high stature;
and his top was among the thick
branches.
4 The waters made him great, the deep
set him up on high with her rivers running
round about his plants, and sent out her
little rivers to all the etzim (trees) of the
field.
5 Therefore his height was exalted
above all the etzim (trees) of the field,
and his branches were multiplied, and his
branches became long because of the
multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
6 All the fowls of shamayim (heavens)
made their nests in his branches, and
under his branches did all the beasts of
the field bring forth their young, and
under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in
the length of his branches: for his root
was by great waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of Elohim
could not hide him: the fir etzim (trees)
were not like his branches, and the
chestnut etzim (trees) were not like his
branches; nor any etz (tree) in the garden
of Elohim was like to him in his beauty.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude
of his branches: so that all the etzim
(trees) of Ayden (Eden), that were in the
garden of Elohim, envied him.
10 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy; Because you have lifted up
yourself in height, and he has shot up his
top among the thick branches, and his
heart is lifted up in his height;
1 The picture of the anti-Messiah.
854
11 I have therefore delivered him into
the hand of the mighty one of the nations;
he shall surely deal with him: I have
driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the
nations, have cut him off, and have left
him: upon the mountains and in all the
valleys his branches are fallen, and his
branches are broken by all the rivers of
the land; and all the people of the earth
are gone down from his shadow, and
have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the
shamayim (heavens) remain, and all the
beasts of the field shall be upon his
branches:
14 To the end that none of all the etzim
(trees) by the waters exalt themselves for
their height, neither shoot up their top
among the thick branches, neither their
etzim (trees) stand up in their height, all
that drink mayim (water): for they are all
delivered to death, to the depths of the
earth, in the midst of the children of men,
with them that go down to the pit.
15 Thus says the Master hwhy; In the
day when he went down to the She’ol2 I
caused a mourning: I covered the deep
for him, and I restrained the floods
thereof, and the great waters were
stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn
for him, and all the etzim (trees) of the
field fainted for him.3
16 I made the nations to shake at the
sound of his fall, when I cast him down to
hell with them that descend into the pit:
and all the etzim (trees) of Ayden (Eden),
the choice and best of Lebanon, all that
drink mayim (water), shall be comforted
in the depths of the earth.
17 They also went down into She’ol with
him to them that be slain with the sword;
and they that were his arm, that dwelt

18 To who are you thus like in glory and
in greatness among the etzim (trees) of
Ayden (Eden)? Yet shall you be brought
down with the etzim (trees) of Ayden
(Eden) to the depths of the earth: you
shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised
with them that be slain by the sword. This
is Pharaoh1 and all his multitude, says
the Master hwhy.
Chapter 32
1 And it came to pass in the twelfth
year, in the twelfth month, in the first day
of the month, that the word of hwhy came
to me, saying,
2 Son of man, take up a lamentation for
Pharaoh King of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
say to him, You are like a young lion of
the nations, and you are as a monster in
the seas: and you came forth with your
rivers, and troubled the waters with your
feet, and made foul their rivers.
3 Thus says the Master hwhy; I will
therefore spread out my net over you with
a company of many people; and they
shall bring you up in my net.
4 Then will I leave you upon the land, I
will cast you forth upon the open field,
and will cause all the fowls of the
shamayim (heavens) to remain upon you,
and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth
with you.
5 And I will lay your flesh upon the
mountains, and fill the valleys with your
height.
6 I will also water the land with your
blood wherein you swam, even to the
mountains; and the streams shall be full
of you.
7 And when I shall put you out, I will
cover the shamayim (heavens), and
make the stars thereof dark; I will cover
the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall
not give her light.
1 Egyptians also descending to hell to be judged.
8 All the bright lights of shamayim
(heavens) will I make dark over you, and
set darkness upon your land, says the
Master hwhy.
9 I will also vex the hearts of many
people, when I shall bring your
destruction among the nations, into the
countries which you have not known.
10 Yes, I will make many people
amazed at you, and their kings shall be
horribly afraid for you, when I shall
brandish my sword before them; and they
shall tremble at every moment, every
man for his own life, in the day of your
fall.
11 For thus says the Master hwhy; The
sword of the king of Babylon2 shall come
upon you.
12 By the swords of the mighty will I
cause your multitude to fall, the terrible of
the nations, all of them: and they shall
spoil the pomp of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and
all the multitude thereof shall be
destroyed.
13 I will destroy also all the beasts
thereof from beside the great waters;
neither shall the foot of man trouble them
any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble
them.
14 Then will I make their waters deep,
and cause their rivers to run like oil, says
the Master hwhy.
15 When I shall make the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt) desolate, and the
country shall be destitute of that whereof
it was full, when I shall smite all them that
dwell therein, then shall they know that I
am hwhy.
16 This is the lamentation wherewith
they shall lament her: the daughters of
the nations shall lament her: they shall
lament for her, even for Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and for all her multitude, says the
Master (Adon: Lord) hwhy.
17 It came to pass also in the twelfth
2 King of Babylon here is the anti-Messiah and not
Nebuchadnezzar.
855
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
year, in the fifteenth day of the month,
that the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and cast them down,
even her, and the daughters of the
famous nations, to the depths of the
earth, with them that go down into the pit.
19 Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go
down, and be you laid with the
uncircumcised.1
20 They shall fall in the midst of them
that are slain by the sword: she is
delivered to the sword: draw her and all
her multitudes.
21 The strong among the mighty shall
speak to him out of the midst of hell with
them that help him: they are gone down;
they lie uncircumcised, slain by the
sword.
22 Asshur is there and all her company:
his graves are about him: all of them
slain, fallen by the sword:2
23 Whose graves are set in the sides of
the pit, and her company is round about
her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the
sword, which caused terror in the land of
the living.
24 There is Elam (Iran) and all her
multitude round about her grave,3 all of
them slain, fallen by the sword, which are
gone down uncircumcised into the depths
of the earth, which caused their terror in
the land of the living; yet have they borne
their shame with them that go down to
the pit.
25 They have set her a bed in the midst
of the slain with all her multitude: her
graves are round about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain by the sword:
though their terror was caused in the land
of the living, yet have they borne their

shame with them that go down to the pit:
he is put in the midst of them that be
slain.
26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her
multitude:4 her graves are round about
him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by
the sword, though they caused their terror
in the land of the living.
27 And they shall not lie with the mighty
that are fallen of the uncircumcised,
which are gone down to She’ol5 with their
weapons of war: and they have laid their
swords under their heads, but their
iniquities shall be upon their bones,
though they were the terror of the mighty
in the land of the living.
28 Yes, you shall be broken in the midst
of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with
them that are slain with the sword.
29 There is Edom (Central Jordan), her
kings, and all her princes, which with their
might are laid by them that were slain by
the sword: they shall lie with the
uncircumcised, and with them that go
down to the pit.6
30 There be the princes of the north, all
of them, and all the Zidonians,7 which are
gone down with the slain; with their terror
they are ashamed of their might; and they
lie uncircumcised with them that be slain
by the sword, and bear their shame with
them that go down to the pit.
31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be
comforted over all his multitude, even
Pharaoh and all his army slain by the
sword, says the Master hwhy.

land of the living: and he shall be laid in

Master hwhy.
Chapter 33
1 Again the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, speak to the children of
your people, and say to them, when I
bring the sword upon a land, if the people
of the land take a man of their coasts,
and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he sees the sword come upon
the land, he blows the shofar, and warns
the people;
4 Then whosoever hears the sound of
the shofar, and takes not warning; if the
sword come, and take him away, his
blood shall be upon his own head.
5 He heard the sound of the shofar, and
took no warning; his blood shall be upon
him. But he that takes warning shall
deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the sword
come, and blow not the shofar, and the
people be not warned; if the sword come,
and take any person from among them,
he is taken away in his iniquity; but his
blood will I require at the watchman's
hand.
7 So you, O son of man, I have set you
a watchman to the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); therefore you shall hear the word
at my mouth, and warn them from me.
8 When I say to the wicked, O wicked
man, you shall surely die; if you do not
speak to warn the wicked from his way,
that wicked man shall die in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked
of his way to turn from it; if he does not
turn from his way, he shall die in his
iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
10 Therefore, O you son of man, speak
to the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel); Thus
you speak, saying, If our transgressions
and our sins be upon us, and we pine
away in them, how should we then live?
11 Say to them, As I live, says the
Master hwhy, I have no pleasure in the
death of the wicked; but that the wicked
turn from his way and live: turn you, turn
857
you from your evil ways; for why will you
die, O house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
12 Therefore, you son of man, say to
the children of your people, The
righteousness of the righteous shall not
deliver him in the day of his
transgression: as for the wickedness of
the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the
day that he turns from his wickedness;
neither shall the righteous be able to live
for his righteousness in the day that he
sins.
13 When I shall say to the righteous,
that he shall surely live; if he trust to his
own righteousness, and commit iniquity,
all his righteousnesses shall not be
remembered; but for his iniquity that he
has committed, he shall die for it.
14 Again, when I say to the wicked, You
shall surely die; if he turn from his sin,
and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give
again that he had robbed, walk in the
statutes of life, without committing
iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not
die.
16 None of his sins that he has
committed shall be mentioned to him: he
has done that which is right and
righteousness; he shall surely live.
17 Yet the children of your people say,
The way of the Master is not equal: but
as for them, their way is not equal.
18 When the righteous turns from his
righteousness, and commits iniquity, he
shall even die thereby.
19 But if the wicked turn from his
wickedness, and do that which is right
and righteousness, he shall live thereby.
20 Yet you say, The way of hwhy is not
equal. O you house of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
I will judge every one of you after his
ways.
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth
year of our captivity, in the tenth month,
in the fifth day of the month, that one that
had escaped out of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) came to me, saying, The city
has been defeated.
22 Now the hand of hwhy was upon me
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
in the evening, afore he that was escaped
came; and had opened my mouth, until
he came to me in the morning; and my
mouth was opened, and I was no more
unable to speak.
23 Then the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those
wastes of the land of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he
inherited the land: but we are many; the
land is given to us for inheritance.
25 Therefore hwhy says to them, Thus
says the Master hwhy; You eat with the
blood, and lift up your eyes toward your
idols, and shed blood: and will you
possess the land?
26 You stand upon your sword, you
work abomination, and you defile every
one his neighbour's wife: and will you
possess the land?
27 Say you thus to them, Thus says the
Master hwhy; As I live, surely they that
are in the wastes shall fall by the sword,
and him that is in the open field will I give
to the beasts to be devoured, and they
that be in the forts and in the caves shall
die of the pestilence.
28 For I will lay the land most desolate,
and the pomp of her strength shall cease;
and the mountains of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
shall be desolate, that none shall pass
through.
29 Then shall they know that I am
hwhy, when I have laid the land most
desolate because of all their
abominations which they have
committed.
30 Also, you son of man, the children of
your people still are talking against you
by the walls and in the doors of the
houses, and speak one to another, every
one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray,
and hear what is the word that comes
forth from hwhy.
31 And they come to you as the people
come, and they sit before you as my
people, and they hear your words, but
they will not do them: for with their mouth
they show much love, but their heart goes
858
after their covetousness.
32 And, lo, you are to them as a very
lovely song of one that has a pleasant
voice, and can play well on an
instrument: for they hear your words, but
they do them not.
33 And when this comes to pass, (lo, it
will come,) then shall they know that a
prophet has been among them.
Chapter 34
1 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,
2 Son of man, prophesy against the
shepherds of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
prophesy, and say to them, Thus says
the Master hwhy to the shepherds; Woe
be to the shepherds of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
that do feed themselves! Should not the
shepherds feed the flocks?1
3 You eat the fat, and you clothe
yourselves with the wool, you kill them
that are fed: but you do not feed the
flock.2
4 The diseased have you not
strengthened, neither have you healed
that which was sick, neither have you
bound up that which was broken, neither
have you brought again that which was
driven away, neither have you sought that
which was lost; but with force and with
cruelty have you ruled them.3
5 And they were scattered, because
there is no shepherd: and they became
food to all the beasts of the field, when
they were scattered.
6 My sheep wandered through all the
mountains, and upon every high hill: yes,
my flock was scattered upon all the face
of the earth, and none did search or seek

7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the
word of hwhy;
8 As I live, says the Master hwhy,
surely because my flock became a prey,
and my flock became food to every beast
of the field, because there was no
shepherd, neither did my shepherds
search for my flock, but the shepherds
fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 2 pasture shall they feed upon the
9 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the
word of hwhy;
10 Thus says the Master hwhy; Behold,
I am against the shepherds; and I will
require my flock at their hand, and cause
them to cease from feeding the flock;
neither shall the shepherds feed
themselves any more; for I will deliver my
flock from their mouth, that they may not
be food for them.3
11 For thus says the Master hwhy;
Behold, I, even I, will both search my
sheep, and seek them out.4
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in
the day that he is among his sheep that
are scattered; so will I seek out my
sheep, and will deliver them out of all
places where they have been scattered in
the cloudy and dark day.
13 And I will bring them out from the

people, and gather them from the
countries, and will bring them to their own
land, and feed them upon the mountains
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) by the rivers, and in
all the inhabited places of the country.
14 I will feed them in a good pasture,5
and upon the high mountains of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall their fold be: there
shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat
mountains of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause
them to lie down, says the Master hwhy.
16 I will seek that which was lost, and
bring again that which was driven away,
and will bind up that which was broken,
and will strengthen that which was sick:
but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I
will feed them with right-ruling.
17 And as for you, O my flock, thus says
the Master hwhy; Behold, I judge
between cattle and cattle, between the
rams and the he goats.
18 Does it seem a small thing to you to
have eaten up the good pasture, but you
must tread down with your feet the
residue of your pastures? And to have
drunk of the clean waters, but the rest
you muddy with your feet?
19 And as for my flock, they eat that
which you have trampled with your feet;
and they drink that which you have
muddied with your feet.
20 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy to them; Behold, I, even I, will judge
between the fat cattle and between the
lean cattle.
21 Because you have thrust with side
and with shoulder, and pushed all the
diseased with your horns, till you have
scattered them abroad;
22 Therefore will I save my flock, and
they shall no more be a prey; and I will
judge between cattle and cattle.

among them; I hwhy have spoken it.
25 And I will make with them a covenant
of shalom (peace), and will cause the evil
beasts to cease out of the land: and they
shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and
sleep in the forests.

round about my hill a blessing; and I will
cause the shower to come down in his

blessing.
27 And the etz (tree) of the field shall
yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield
her increase, and they shall be safe in
their land, and shall know that I am hwhy,
when I break the bars of their yoke, and
delivered them out of the hand of those
that served themselves of them.
28 And they shall no more be a prey to

safely, and none shall make them afraid.

place of name, and they shall be no more
consumed with hunger in the land,
neither bear the shame of the nations any
more.
30 Thus shall they know that I hwhy
their Elohim am with them, and that they,
even the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), are
my people, says the Master hwhy.

pasture, are Ahdahm,2 and I am your

King David will be resurrected in the millennium
as co-regent king to King Messiah Yahushua.
2 This is linked to John 3:3. The discourse that
Yahushua was having with Nicodemus was about
gathering the flock that is the ten tribes the house
of Israel, described as a man and literally Adam.
This term is for gentiles only and was understood
for non-Jews. We read in the Talmud the
following: Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai said: The
graves of gentiles do not cause ritual impurity in a
Elohim, says the Master hwhy.
Chapter 35
1 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
2 Son of man, set your face against
Mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say to it, Thus says the Master
hwhy; Behold, O Mount Seir, I am
against you, and I will stretch out my
hand against you, and I will make you
dwelling as it says (Ezekiel 34:31) "Now, you
[Israel] are My sheep, the sheep of My pasture,
you are Man (Adam)…" You [Israel, the subject of
the verse] are called Man (Adam) and gentiles are
not called Man (Adam). Talmud Bava Metzia 114b
-> The first passage explains to us what or how
you get ritual purity in a house or tent which the
text is taken from Numbers 19:14. The man who
died in the tent was part of Israel who would make
the others ritually unclean for seven days.
Therefore the term 'man' or 'Adam' is really applied
to the people of Israel. So these Gentiles are not
outsiders but those ones who were part of the
Northern tribes of Israel.
Second ref: One who uses the official anointing oil
[that has been consecrated] to smear on an animal
or vessels is innocent of violating the holiness of
the oil, to smear on gentiles or corpses is innocent.
Certainly an animal and vessels as it say (Exodus
30:32) "It shall not be smeared on flesh of man
(Adam)…" and an animal and vessels are not man.
One who smears on corpses is also innocent since
it is dead it is called corpse and not a man.
However, why is one who smears on gentiles
innocent? They are men! No, as it says (Ezekiel
34:31) "Now, you [Israel] are My sheep, the sheep
of My pasture, you are Man (Adam)…" You [Israel,
the subject of the verse] are called Man (Adam)
and gentiles are not called Man (Adam). Talmud
-> If we read Exodus 30:32 we learn that if a
Jewish person smears oil on Adam or (man) that
he is liable. This explains this oil would only be
poured on Israel meaning only a High Priest, or a
King are worthy of having oil poured upon them. If
it is a High Priest or King or prophet of Israel then
they are from the twelve tribes of Israel meaning
that they are not Gentiles as we would normally
understand. The passages apply to Israel only.

4 Therefore, you mountains of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), hear the word of the
Master hwhy; Thus says the Master
hwhy to the mountains, and to the hills,
to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the
desolate wastes, and to the cities that are
forsaken, which became a prey and
humiliation to the rest of the nations that
are roundabout;
5 Therefore thus says the Master hwhy;
Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I
spoken against the rest of the gentiles,
and against all Idumea, which have
appointed my land into their possession
with the joy of all their heart, with utter
contempt, to cast it out for a prey.

I am hwhy.2
12 Yes, I will cause men to walk upon
you, even my people Yah’sar’el (Israel);
and they shall possess you, and you shall
be their inheritance, and you shall no
more henceforth bereave them of men.
13 Thus says the Master hwhy;
Because they say to you, Your land
devours up men, and have bereaved your
nations;
14 Therefore you shall devour men no
more, neither bereave your nations any
more, says the Master hwhy.
15 Neither will I cause men to hear in
you the shame of the nations any more,
neither shall you bear the reproach of the
people any more, neither shall you cause
your nations to fall any more, says the
Master hwhy.
16 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
17 Son of man, when the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) dwelt in their own land,
they defiled it by their own way and by
their doings: their way was before me as
the uncleanness of a woman in her
menstrual cycle.
18 Therefore I poured my fury upon
them for the blood that they had shed
upon the land, and for their idols
wherewith they had polluted it:
19 And I scattered them among the
nations, and they were dispersed through
the countries: according to their way and
according to their doings I judged them.
20 And when they entered to the
nations, where they went, they profaned
my Set-Apart name, when they said to
them, These are the people of hwhy, and
are gone forth out of his land.
21 But I had pity for my Set-Apart name,
which the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) had
profaned among the nations, where they
went.
22 Therefore say to the house of

hwhy; I do not this for your sakes, O
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), but for my
Set-Apart name's sake, which you have
profaned among the nations, where you
went.1
23 And I will Set-Apart my great name,
which was profaned among the nations,
which you have profaned in the midst of
them; and the nations shall know that I
am hwhy, says the Master hwhy, when I
shall be Set-Apart in you2 before their
eyes.
24 For I will take you from among the
nations, and gather you out of all
countries, and will bring you into your
own land.
25 Then will I sprinkle clean mayim
(water) upon you, and you shall be clean:
from all your filthiness, and from all your
idols, will I cleanse you.3
26 A renewed heart also will I give you,
and a new Ruach (Spirit) will I put within
you: and I will take away the stony heart
out of your flesh, and I will give you a
heart of flesh.4
27 And I will put my Ruach (Holy Spirit)
within you, and cause you to walk in my
statutes, and you shall keep my
judgments, and do them.5

29 I will also save you from all your
uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn,
and will increase it, and lay no famine
upon you.
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the etz
(tree), and the increase of the field, that
you shall receive no more reproach of
famine among the nations.
31 Then shall you remember your own
evil ways, and your doings that were not
good, and shall hate yourselves in your
own sight for your iniquities and for your
abominations.6
32 Not for your sakes I do this, says the
Master hwhy, be it known to you: be
ashamed and confounded for your own
ways, O house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
33 Thus says the Master hwhy; in the
day that I shall have cleansed you from
all your iniquities I will also cause you to
dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be
rebuilt.
34 And the desolate land shall be tilled,
whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all
that passed by.
35 And they shall say, This land that
was desolate is become like the garden
of Ayden (Eden); and the waste and
desolate and ruined cities are become
fenced, and are inhabited.
36 Then the nations that are left round
about you shall know that I hwhy rebuild
the ruined places, and plant that that was
desolate: I hwhy have spoken it, and I will
do it.
37 Thus says the Master hwhy; I will yet

increase them with men like a flock.

1 The hand of hwhy was upon me, and
carried me out in the Ruach (Spirit) of
hwhy, and set me down in the midst of
the valley which was full of bones, 1
2 And caused me to pass by them
roundabout: and, behold, there were very
many in the open valley; and, lo, they
were very dry.2
3 And he said to me, Son of man, can
these bones live? And I answered, O
Master Hwhy, you know. 3 me,

5 Thus says Master hwhy to these
bones; Behold, I will cause breath to

will bring up flesh upon you, and cover

5 Clearly these people who were biological
Israelites died in the scattering and may have even
adopted other religions such as Islam, Hinduism or

into them and then they know who YHWH really is
because they did not know previously. Some of
these could have been born in exiled lands and
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded:
and as I prophesied, there was a noise,
and behold a shaking, and the bones
came together, bone to his bone.

skin covered them above: but there was

However, such is not the case here.
1 They were dead and buried but their souls were
not finished so they were talking in She’ol.
2 YHWH will literally open up their graves and raise
them up in the Millennium.
3 Since this is going to be sight for all nations to
see and call it the greatest exodus ever, therefore,
YHWH is going to open their graves and resurrect
these people back to dear life and what a fantastic
sight that would be. It does not matter where
these people ended up in. Whether in jungles,
forests, and mountains nothing will stop YHWH
from bringing them back.
4 They had no relationship with YHWH when they
died but when they are raised ‘then they will know’
that who is YHWH, the great and merciful Elohim
of Israel. The realisation will happen at that point
in time and not until they are brought back from
the dead knowing that these were not people
living or practicing Torah or righteousness.
5 After being raised they realize who it is that
raised them, it will be YHWH and YHWH alone and
not any false elohim of the nations, where they
had lived and worshipped under. It could not be
any clearer than this.

For Yahudah (Judah), and for the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) his
companions: then take another etz
(stick)9, and write upon it, For Yosef, the
etz (tree) of Ephraim, and for all the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) his
companions:
17 And join them one10 to another into

people shall speak to you, saying, Will
you not show us what you mean by

19 Say to them, Thus says the Master
hwhy; Behold, I will take the etz (tree) of
Yosef, which is in the hand of Ephraim,
and the tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel) his
fellows, and will put them with him, even
with the etz (tree) of Yahudah (Judah),
and make one staff out of them, and they
shall be one in my hand.
8 YHWH will bring them back to their own land
Israel and settle them there and this is the sight
that many nations will see and say what an exodus
so this is why this exodus is greater. The first
exodus was of the living but the second exodus
will be of the dead brought back to life.
9 The Hebrew word is for an etz (tree) and not a
stick or staff. Because different Hebrew words are
used for those things, we know this was an etz
(tree) because Rabbi Paulos tells us this in Romans
11:24. So YHWH is giving Ezekiel two sticks or two
trees one wild and one natural to join together.
10 The Hebrew word here is Akhad meaning to
unite them into one tree. Basically Ezekiel is shown
grafting in the one gentile tree into the other in
drash.
11 The two brides will become united in YHWH’s
hand. Drash allegorically they still remain separate
but they are united now in will and purpose.

the gentiles, where they be gone, and will
gather them on from every side, and
bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in
the land upon the mountains of Yah’sar’el
(Israel); and one king shall be king to
them all: and they shall be no more two
nations, neither shall they be divided into
two kingdoms any more at all:1
23 Neither shall they defile themselves
any more with their idols, nor with their
detestable things,2 nor with any of their
transgressions: but I will save them out of
all their dwelling-places, wherein they
have sinned,3 and will cleanse them: so
shall they be my people, and I will be
their Elohim.4
24 And Dawud (David) my servant shall
be king over them;5 and they all shall
have one shepherd: they shall also walk
in my right-rulings, and observe my
statutes, and do them.6
25 And they shall dwell in the land that I
have given to Ya’acob (Jacob) my
servant, wherein your ahvot (fathers)
have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein,
even they, and their children, and their
children's children forever: and my
servant Dawud (David) shall be their
prince forever.

shalom (peace) with them; it shall be an
everlasting covenant with them: and I will
place them, and multiply them, and will

people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will
be in the latter days that I will bring you against
My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I
am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.''
Note that YHWH addresses Gog as a singular
person “you,” applying it to the individual and also
many other nations with him. But we do know that
it represents a group of nations that are coming up
to attack Israel which are all mentioned in Ezekiel
38:2. This is both an individual name given to the
Anti-Messiah and it also incorporates the
conglomerate nations of the Anti-Messiah’s
beast/Empire. Let us not forget that the bride of
Messiah, singular is used to identify a group of
believers. So how can it be a group of people, as
well as a single bride? The answer is the same.
This is YHWH’s way of describing the body of
believers, His only wife.

shall things come into your mind, and you

While this statement does not conclude which side
Sheba, Dedan, and the Merchants of Tarshish
(Lebanon) are on; it could be obvious that booty
and plunder is an Islamic trait in which these
nations could likely join in. The Bible however
sheds light as to the judgment of the ships of

17 Thus says the Master hwhy; Are you
he of whom I have spoken in old time by
my servants the prophets of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), which prophesied in those days
many years that I would bring you against
them?6
In Ezekiel 38:16 "You will come up against My
people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will
be in the latter days that I will bring you against
My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I
am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.''
Note that YHWH addresses Gog as a singular
person “you,” applying it to the individual and also
many other nations with him. But we do know that
it represents a group of nations that are coming up
to attack Israel which is all mentioned in Ezekiel
38:2. This is both an individual name given to the
Anti-Messiah and it also incorporates the
conglomerate nations of the Anti-Messiah’s
beast/Empire. Let us not forget that the bride of
Messiah, singular is used to identify a group of
believers. So how can it be a group of people, as
well as a single bride? The answer is the same.
This is YHWH’s way of describing the body of
believers, His only wife. End quote.
Note the bride that Messiah came to reconcile is
the Northern House!!! As there are two brides
North and South speaking in drash (allegory).

When did the other prophets speak about him as
“Gog”? However we must understand that
different prophets described the same person of
the Anti-Messiah by different TITLES. So this is not
only a real person, but also a leader as described,
and he has been spoken about by many prophets.
The following are just some of his titles.
-> Gog (Ezekiel 38:2)
->The Assyrian (Micah 5:6)
->The Anti-Messiah (1 John 2:22) - which Messiah?
->Son of Perdition (2 Thessalonians 2:3)
->The Lawless One (2 Thessalonians 2:8)
->Man of Sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3)

->The House of The Wicked (Habakkuk 3:13)

left hand,7 and will cause your arrows to
fall out of your right hand.

troops, and the people that is with you: I
will give you to the ravenous birds of
every sort, and to the beasts of the field
to be devoured.

have spoken it, says the Master hwhy.

has His own plan and will crush this army and only
allow one sixth to be left who will most likely get
saved. Imagine the numbers; one sixth of two
hundred million is 16.6% that is just over 33

pollute my Set-Apart name any more: and
the nations shall know that I am hwhy,
the Set-Apart One in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, says
the Master hwhy; this is the day whereof I
have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the cities of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall go forth, and shall
set on fire and burn the weapons, both
the shields and the bucklers, the bows
and the arrows,1 and the hand staves,
and the spears, and they shall burn them
with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood out
of the field, neither cut down any out of
the forests; for they shall burn the
weapons with fire: and they shall spoil
those that spoiled them, and rob those
that robbed them, says the Master hwhy.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that I will give to Gog a place there of
graves in Yah’sar’el (Israel), the valley of
the passengers on the east of the sea:
and it shall stop the noses of the

call it The valley of Hamon-gog.2

Assemble yourselves, and come; gather
yourselves on every side to my sacrifice
that I do sacrifice for you, even a great
sacrifice upon the mountains of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), that you may eat flesh, and drink
blood.
18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
and drink the blood of the princes of the
earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of

sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

trespassed against me, therefore I hid my

Measurements of the 3rd Temple to be
built in the millennium
Chapter 40
1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity,
in the beginning of the year,4 in the tenth
day of the month, in the fourteenth year
after that the city was struck down, in the
selfsame day the hand of hwhy was upon
me, and brought me there.
2 In the visions of Elohim brought he me
into the land of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and set
me upon a very high mountain, by which
was as the frame of a city on the south.
3 And he brought me there, and,
behold, there was a man, whose
appearance was like the appearance of
brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and
a measuring reed; and he stood in the
gate.
4 And the man said to me, Son of man,
behold with your eyes, and hear with your
ears, and set your heart upon all that I
shall show you; for to the intent that I
might show them to you are you brought
here: declare all that you see to the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 And behold a wall on the outside of
the house round about, and in the man's
hand a measuring reed of six cubits long
by the cubit and a hand breadth: so he
measured the breadth of the building, one
reed; and the height, one reed.
6 Then he came to the gate which
looked toward the east, and went up the
stairs thereof, and measured the
threshold of the gate, which was one reed
broad; and the other threshold of the

well be 10th of Tishri, Yom Kippur. This is the view

Rosh Hashanah, related to the Jewish civil year.

gate, which was one reed broad.
7 And every little chamber was one reed
long, and one reed broad; and between
the little chambers were five cubits; and
the threshold of the gate by the porch of
the gate within was one reed.
8 He measured also the porch of the
gate within, one reed.
9 Then he measured the porch of the
gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof,
two cubits; and the porch of the gate was
inward.
10 And the little chambers of the gate
eastward were three on this side, and
three on that side; they three were of one
measure: and the posts had one measure
on this side and on that side.
11 And he measured the breadth of the
entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the
length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12 The space also before the little
chambers was one cubit on this side, and
the space was one cubit on that side: and
the little chambers were six cubits on this
side, and six cubits on that side.
13 He measured then the gate from the
roof of one little chamber to the roof of
another: the breadth was twenty five
cubits, door against door.
14 He made also posts of sixty cubits,
even to the post of the court round about
the gate.
15 And from the face of the gate of the
entrance to the face of the porch of the
inner gate were fifty cubits.
16 And there were narrow windows to
the little chambers and to their posts
within the gate round about, and likewise
to the arches: and windows were round
about inward: and upon each post were
palm etzim (trees).
17 Then he brought me into the outward
court, and, lo, there were chambers, and
a pavement made for the court round
about: thirty chambers were upon the
pavement.
18 And the pavement by the side of the
gates over against the length of the gates
was the lower pavement.
19 Then he measured the breadth from
872
the forefront of the lower gate to the
forefront of the inner court without, an
hundred cubits eastward and northward.
20 And the gate of the outward court
that looked toward the north, he
measured the length thereof, and the
breadth thereof.
21 And the little chambers thereof were
three on this side and three on that side;
and the posts thereof and the arches
thereof were after the measure of the first
gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits,
and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
22 And their windows, and their arches,
and their palm etzim (trees), were after
the measure of the gate that looks toward
the east; and they went up to it by seven
steps; and the arches thereof were before
them.
23 And the gate of the inner court was
over against the gate toward the north,
and toward the east; and he measured
from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
24 After that he brought me toward the
south, and behold a gate toward the
south: and he measured the posts thereof
and the arches thereof according to these
measures.
25 And there were windows in it and in
the arches thereof round about, like those
windows: the length was fifty cubits, and
the breadth twenty-five cubits.
26 And there were seven steps to go up
to it, and the arches thereof were before
them: and it had palm etzim (trees), one
on this side, and another on that side,
upon the posts thereof.
27 And there was a gate in the inner
court toward the south: and he measured
from gate to gate toward the south a
hundred cubits.
28 And he brought me to the inner court
by the south gate: and he measured the
south gate according to these measures;
29 And the little chambers thereof, and
the posts thereof, and the arches thereof,
according to these measures: and there
were windows in it and in the arches
thereof round about: it was fifty cubits
long, and twenty-five cubits broad.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
30 And the arches round about were
twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits
broad.
31 And the arches thereof were toward
the utter court; and palm etzim (trees)
were upon the posts thereof: and the
going up to it had eight steps.
32 And he brought me into the inner
court toward the east: and he measured
the gate according to these measures.
33 And the little chambers thereof, and
the posts thereof, and the arches thereof,
were according to these measures: and
there were windows therein and in the
arches thereof round about: it was fifty
cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.
34 And the arches thereof were toward
the outward court; and palm etzim (trees)
were upon the posts thereof, on this side,
and on that side: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
35 And he brought me to the north gate,
and measured it according to these
measures;
36 The little chambers thereof, the posts
thereof, and the arches thereof, and the
windows to it round about: the length was
fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five
cubits.
37 And the posts thereof were toward
the utter court; and palm etzim (trees)
were upon the posts thereof, on this side,
and on that side: and the going up to it
had eight steps.
38 And the chambers and the entries
thereof were by the posts of the gates,
where they washed the burnt offering.
39 And in the porch of the gate were
two tables on this side, and two tables on
that side, to slay thereon the burnt
offering and the sin offering and the
trespass offering.
40 And at the side without, as one goes
up to the entry of the north gate, were two
tables; and on the other side, which was
at the porch of the gate, were two tables.
41 Four tables were on this side, and
four tables on that side, by the side of the
gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew
their sacrifices.
873
42 And the four tables were of hewn
stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and
an half long, and a cubit and a half broad,
and one cubit high: whereupon also they
laid the instruments wherewith they slew
the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
43 And within were hooks, a hand
broad, fastened round about: and upon
the tables was the flesh of the offering.
44 And without the inner gate were the
chambers of the singers in the inner
court, which was at the side of the north
gate; and their prospect was toward the
south: one at the side of the east gate
having the prospect toward the north.
45 And he said to me, This chamber,
whose prospect is toward the south, is for
the kohenim (priests), the keepers of the
charge of the house.
46 And the chamber whose prospect is
toward the north is for the kohenim
(priests), the keepers of the charge of the
altar: these are the sons of Tzadok
among the sons of Lewi, which come
near to hwhy to minister to him.
47 So he measured the court, a
hundred cubits long, and a hundred
cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar
that was before the house.
48 And he brought me to the porch of
the house, and measured each post of
the porch, five cubits on this side, and
five cubits on that side: and the breadth
of the gate was three cubits on this side,
and three cubits on that side.
49 The length of the porch was twenty
cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and
he brought me by the steps whereby they
went up to it: and there were pillars by the
posts, one on this side, and another on
that side.
Chapter 41
1 Afterward he brought me to the
Temple, and measured the posts, six
cubits broad on the one side, and six
cubits broad on the other side, which was
the breadth of the tabernacle.
2 And the breadth of the door was ten
cubits; and the sides of the door were five
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
cubits on the one side, and five cubits on
the other side: and he measured the
length thereof, forty cubits: and the
breadth, twenty cubits.
3 Then went he inward, and measured
the post of the door, two cubits; and the
door, six cubits; and the breadth of the
door, seven cubits.
4 So he measured the length thereof,
twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty
cubits, before the temple: and he said to
me, This is the most Set-Apart place.
5 After he measured the wall of the
house, six cubits; and the breadth of
every side chamber, four cubits, round
about the house on every side.
6 And the side chambers were three,
one over another, and thirty in order; and
they entered into the wall which was of
the house for the side chambers round
about, that they might have hold, but they
had not hold in the wall of the house.
7 And there was an enlarging, and a
winding about still upward to the side
chambers: for the winding about of the
house went still upward round about the
house: therefore the breadth of the house
was still upward and so increased from
the lowest chamber to the highest by the
midst.
8 I saw also the height of the house
round about: the foundations of the side
chambers were a full reed of six great
cubits.
9 The thickness of the wall, which was
for the side chamber without, was five
cubits: and that which was left was the
place of the side chambers that were
within.
10 And between the chambers was the
wideness of twenty cubits round about
the house on every side.
11 And the doors of the side chambers
were toward the place that was left, one
door toward the north, and another door
toward the south: and the breadth of the
place that was left was five cubits round
about.
12 Now the building that was before the
separate place at the end toward the
874
west was seventy cubits broad; and the
wall of the building was five cubits thick
round about, and the length ninety cubits.
13 So he measured the house, a
hundred cubits long; and the separate
place, and the building, with the walls
thereof, a hundred cubits long;
14 Also the breadth of the face of the
house, and of the separate place toward
the east, a hundred cubits.
15 And he measured the length of the
building over against the separate place
which was behind it, and the galleries
thereof on the one side and on the other
side, a hundred cubits, with the inner
Temple, and the porches of the court;
16 The door posts, and the narrow
windows, and the galleries round about
on their three stories, over against the
door, paneled with wood round about,
and from the ground up to the windows,
and the windows were covered;
17 To that above the door, even to the
inner house, and without, and by all the
wall round about within and without, by
measure.
18 And it was made with Cherubims and
palm etzim (trees), so that a palm etz
(tree) was between a cherub and a
cherub; and every cherub had two faces;
19 So that the face of a man was toward
the palm etz (tree) on the one side, and
the face of a young lion toward the palm
etz (tree) on the other side: it was made
through all the house round about.
20 From the ground to above the door
were Cherubims and palm etzim (trees)
made, and on the wall of the temple.
21 The posts of the Temple were
squared, and the face of the sanctuary;
the appearance of the one as the
appearance of the other.
22 The altar of wood was three cubits
high, and the length two cubits; and the
corners, and the length, and the walls,
were of wood: and he said to me, This is
the table that is before hwhy.
23 And the Temple and the sanctuary
had two doors.
24 And the doors had two leaves
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for
the one door, and two leaves for the other
door.
25 And there were made on them, on
the doors of the temple, Cherubims and
palm etzim (trees), like as were made
upon the walls; and there were thick
planks upon the face of the porch
outside.
26 And there were narrow windows and
palm etzim (trees) on the one side and on
the other side, on the sides of the porch,
and upon the side chambers of the
house, and thick planks.
Chapter 42
1 Then he brought me forth into the
utter court, the way toward the north: and
he brought me into the chamber that was
over against the separate place, and
which was before the building toward the
north.
2 Before the length of a hundred cubits
was the north door and the breadth was
fifty cubits.
3 Over against the twenty cubits which
were for the inner court, and over against
the pavement which was for the utter
court, was gallery against gallery in three
stories.
4 And before the chambers was a walk
of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one
cubit; and their doors toward the north.
5 Now the upper chambers were
shorter: for the galleries were higher than
these, than the lower, and than the
middlemost of the building.
6 For they were in three stories, but had
not pillars as the pillars of the courts:
therefore the building was straitened
more than the lowest and the middlemost
from the ground.
7 And the wall that was outside over
against the chambers, toward the utter
court on the forepart of the chambers, the
length was fifty cubits.
8 For the length of the chambers that
were in the utter court was fifty cubits:
and, lo, before the Temple were a
hundred cubits.
875
9 And from under these chambers was
the entry on the east side, as one goes
into them from the utter court.
10 The chambers were in the thickness
of the wall of the court toward the east,
over against the separate place, and over
against the building.
11 And the way before them was like
the appearance of the chambers which
were toward the north, as long as they,
and as broad as they: and all their goings
out were both according to their fashions,
and according to their doors.
12 And according to the doors of the
chambers that were toward the south was
a door in the head of the way, even the
way directly before the wall toward the
east, as one enters into them.
13 Then said he to me, The north
chambers and the south chambers, which
are before the separate place, they be
Set-Apart chambers, where the kohenim
(priests) that approach to hwhy shall eat
the most Set-Apart things: there shall
they lay the most Set-Apart things, and
the grain offering, and the sin offering,
and the trespass offering; for the place is
Set-Apart.
14 When the kohenim (priests) enter
inside, then shall they not go out of the
Set-Apart place into the utter court, but
there they shall lay their garments
wherein they minister; for they are Set-
Apart; and shall put on other garments,
and shall approach to those things which
are for the people.
15 Now when he had made an end of
measuring the inner Temple, he brought
me forth toward the gate which faces is
toward the east, and measured it round
about.
16 He measured the east side with the
measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with
the measuring reed round about.
17 He measured the north side, five
hundred reeds, with the measuring reed
round about.
18 He measured the south side, five
hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
19 He turned about to the west side,
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
and measured five hundred reeds with
the measuring reed.
20 He measured it by the four sides: it
had a wall round about, five hundred
reeds long, and five hundred broad, to
make a separation between the
sanctuary and the common place.
Chapter 43
1 Afterward he brought me to the gate,
even the gate that looks toward the east:
2 And, behold, the glory of the Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) came from the way of
the east: and his voice was like a noise of
many waters: and the earth shined with
his glory. 1
3 And it was according to the
appearance of the vision which I saw,
even according to the vision that I saw
when I came to destroy the city: and the
visions were like the vision that I saw by
the river Khebar; and I fell upon my face.
4 And the glory of hwhy came into the
house by the way of the gate whose face
is toward the east.
5 So the Ruach (Spirit) took me up, and
brought me into the inner court; and,
behold, the glory of hwhy filled the
house.
6 And I heard him speaking to me out of
the house; and the man stood by me.
7 And he said to me, Son of man, the
place of my throne, and the place of the
soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the
midst of the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
forever, and my Set-Apart name, shall the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) no more
defile, neither they, nor their kings, by
their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of
their kings in their high places.
8 In their setting of their threshold by my
thresholds, and their post by my posts,
and the wall between me and them, they
have even defiled my Set-Apart name by
1 YHWH, who is known as Yahushua to the people
entered through this side hence why this gate is
sealed.
876
their abominations that they have
committed: Therefore I have consumed
them in my anger.
9 Now let them put away their
whoredom, and the carcasses of their
kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the
midst of them forever.
10 You son of man, show the Temple to
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), that they
may be ashamed of their iniquities: and
let them measure the pattern.
11 And if they be ashamed of all that
they have done, show them the form of
the Temple, and the fashion thereof, and
the goings out thereof, and the comings
in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and
all the ordinances thereof, and all the
forms thereof, and all the Torot thereof:
and write it in their sight, that they may
keep the whole form thereof, and all the
ordinances thereof, and do them.
12 This is the Torah of the Temple;
Upon the top of the mountain the whole
limit thereof round about shall be most
Set-Apart. Behold, this is the Torah of the
Temple.
13 And these are the measures of the
altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit
and a hand breadth; even the bottom
shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit,
and the border thereof by the edge
thereof round about shall be a span: and
this shall be the higher place of the altar.
14 And from the bottom upon the
ground even to the lower settle shall be
two cubits, and the breadth one cubit;
and from the lesser settle even to the
greater settle shall be four cubits, and the
breadth one cubit.
15 So the altar shall be four cubits; and
from the altar and upward shall be four
horns.
16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits
long, twelve broad, square in the four
squares thereof.
17 And the settle shall be fourteen
cubits long and fourteen broad in the four
squares thereof; and the border about it
shall be half a cubit; and the bottom
thereof shall be a cubit about; and his
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
stairs shall look toward the east.
18 And he said to me, Son of man, thus
says the Master hwhy; These are the
ordinances of the altar in the day when
they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings
thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
19 And you shall give to the kohenim
(priests) the Lewites that be of the
descendants of Tzadok, which approach
to me, to minister to me, says the Master
hwhy, a young bullock for a sin offering.1
20 And you shall take the blood, and put
it on the four horns of it, and on the four
corners of the ledge, and upon the border
round about: thus shall you cleanse and
purge it.
21 You shall take the bullock also of the
sin offering, and he shall burn it in the
appointed place of the house, outside the
sanctuary.2
22 And on the second day you shall
offer a kid of the goats without blemish for
a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the
altar, as they did cleanse it with the
bullock.
23 When you have made an end of
cleansing it, you shall offer a young
bullock without blemish, and a ram out of
the flock without blemish.
24 And you shall offer them before

orthodox Jews who never accepted the Christian
Messiah? That is because they already had him,

Note there is sin offering in the Millennium and it is
not an educational offering or remembrance one.
These are being done to cleanse the altar and the
most set-apart things of YHWH plus sin as stated
of those who will be committing sin in the
millennium. Note none of these sacrifices are for
intentional willful deliberate sin, they are for
unintentional sin. Willful deliberate sin is always
forgiven by repentance so that model does not
change in the millennial reign.

there was in Torah, the sin sacrifice system would
recommence in the millennium. Please read the
book of Leviticus to understand the various
offerings.
877
hwhy, and the kohenim (priests) shall
cast salt upon them, and they shall offer
them up for a burnt offering to the hwhy.
25 Seven days shall you prepare every
day a goat for a sin offering: they shall
also prepare a young bullock, and a ram
out of the flock, without blemish.
26 Seven days shall they purge the altar
and purify it; and they shall set-apart
themselves.
27 And when these days are expired, it
shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so
forward, the kohenim (priests) shall make
your burnt offerings upon the altar, and
your shalom (peace) offerings; and I will
accept you, says the Master hwhy.
Chapter 44
1 Then he brought me back the way of
the gate of the outward sanctuary which
looks toward the east; and it was shut.3
2 Then said hwhy to me; This gate shall
be shut, it shall not be opened, and no
man shall enter in by it; because hwhy,
the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel), has
entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3 It is for the Nasi;4 the Nasi, he shall sit
in it to eat lechem (bread) before hwhy;
he shall enter by the way of the porch of
that gate, and shall go out by the way of
the same.
4 Then he brought me the way of the
north gate before the house: and I
looked, and, behold, the glory of hwhy
filled the house of hwhy: and I fell upon
my face.
5 And hwhy said to me, Son of man,
mark well, and behold with your eyes,
and hear with your ears all that I say to
you concerning all the ordinances of the
house of hwhy, and all the Torot thereof;
and mark well the entering in of the

century.
4 This is not the Messiah Yahushua unless you
want to believe that he offers a sin sacrifice for
himself.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
house, with every going forth of the
sanctuary.
6 And you shall say to the rebellious,
even to the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
Thus says the Master hwhy; O you house
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), let it suffice you of
all your abominations,
7 In that you have brought into my
sanctuary foreigners, uncircumcised in
heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in
my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my
Temple, when you offer my lechem
(bread), the fat and the blood, and they
have broken my covenant because of all
your abominations.
8 And you have not kept the charge of
my Set-Apart things: but you have set
keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for
yourselves.
9 Thus says Master Hwhy; No
foreigner,1 uncircumcised in heart,2 and
uncircumcised in flesh,3 shall enter into
my sanctuary, of any foreigner that is
among the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
10 And the Lewites that are gone away
far from me, when Yah’sar’el (Israel) went
astray, which went astray away from me
after their idols; they shall even bear their
iniquity.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my
sanctuary, having charge at the gates of
the house, and ministering to the house:
they shall slay the burnt offering and the

sacrifice for the people, and they shall
stand before them to minister to them.
12 Because they ministered to them
before their idols, and caused the house
of Yah’sar’el (Israel) to fall into iniquity;
therefore have I lifted up my hand against
them, says the Master hwhy, and they
shall bear their iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near to me,
to do the office of a kohen (priest) to me,
nor to come near to any of my Set-Apart
things, in the most Set-Apart place: but
they shall bear their shame, and their
abominations which they have
committed.4
14 But I will make them keepers of the
charge of the house, for all the service
thereof, and for all that shall be done
therein.
15 But the kohenim (priests) the
Lewites, the sons of Tzadok, that kept the
charge of my sanctuary5 when the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) went astray
from me, they shall come near to me to
minister to me, and they shall stand
before me to offer to me the fat and the
blood, says the Master hwhy:6
16 They shall enter into my sanctuary,
and they shall come near to my table, to
minister to me, and they shall keep my
charge.
17 And it shall come to pass, that when
they enter in at the gates of the inner
court, they shall be clothed with linen
garments; and no wool shall come upon
them, while they minister in the gates of
the inner court, and within.
18 They shall have linen turbans upon
their heads, and shall have linen under-
garments upon their loins; they shall not

5 The most holy place.
6 Only the sons of Tzadok will be most close to
YHWH and have special privileges.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
gird themselves with anything that causes
sweat.
19 And when they go forth into the utter
court, even into the utter court to the
people, they shall put off their garments
wherein they ministered, and lay them in
the Set-Apart chambers, and they shall
put on other garments; and they shall not
set-apart the people with their garments.
20 Neither shall they shave their heads,
nor allow their hair to grow long; they
shall only trim their heads.
21 Neither shall any kohen (priest) drink
wine, when they enter into the inner
court.
22 Neither shall they take for their wives
a widow, nor her that is put away: but
they shall take maidens of the seed of the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel), or a widow
that was married to a kohen (priest)
before.
23 And they shall teach my people the
difference between the Set-Apart and
common, and cause them to discern
between the unclean and the clean.
24 And in controversy they shall stand
in right-ruling; and they shall judge it
according to my judgments: and they
shall keep my Torot and my statutes in all
my assemblies; and they shall set-apart
my Sabbaths.1
25 And they shall come at no dead
person to defile themselves: but for
father, or for mother, or for son, or for
daughter, for brother, or for sister that has
had no husband, they may defile
themselves.
26 And after he is cleansed, they shall
reckon to him seven days.
27 And in the day that he goes into the
sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister
in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin
offering, says the Master hwhy.
28 And it shall be to them for an
inheritance: I am their inheritance: and
you shall give them no possession in
1 All the feasts and the regular weekly Sabbaths.
Yah’sar’el (Israel): I am their possession.
29 They shall eat the grain offering, and
the sin offering, and the trespass offering;
and every dedicated thing in Yah’sar’el
(Israel) shall be their's.
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all
things, and every contribution of all, of
every sort of your contributions, shall be
the kohen (priest)'s: you shall also give to
the kohen (priest) the first of your ground
meal, that he may cause the blessing to
rest in your house.
31 The kohenim (priests) shall not eat of
anything that is dead of itself, or torn,
whether it be fowl or beast.2
Chapter 45
1 Moreover, when you shall divide by lot
the land for inheritance, you shall offer a
contribution to the hwhy, and Set-Apart
portion of the land: the length shall be the
length of five and twenty thousand reeds,
and the breadth shall be ten thousand.
This shall be Set-Apart in all the borders
thereof round about.
2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary
five hundred in length, with five hundred
in breadth, square round about; and fifty
cubits round about for the suburbs
thereof.
3 And of this measure shall you
measure the length of twenty-five
thousand, and the breadth of ten
thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary
and the most Set-Apart place.
4 The Set-Apart portion of the land shall
be for the kohenim (priests) the ministers
of the sanctuary, which shall come near
to minister to hwhy: and it shall be a
place for their houses, and a Set-Apart
place for the sanctuary.
5 And the twenty five thousand of
length, and the ten thousand of breadth,
shall also the Lewites, the ministers of the
house, have for themselves, for a
possession for twenty chambers.
2 From clean animals.
879
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
6 And you shall appoint the possession
of the city five thousand broad, and
twenty-five thousand long, over against
the contribution of the Set-Apart portion: it
shall be for the whole house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
7 And a portion shall be for the Nasi on
the one side and on the other side of the
contribution of the Set-Apart portion, and
of the possession of the city, before the
contribution of the Set-Apart portion, and
before the possession of the city, from
the west side westward, and from the
east side eastward: and the length shall
be over against one of the portions, from
the west border to the east border.
8 In the land shall be his possession in
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and my governors
shall no more oppress my people; and
the rest of the land shall they give to the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) according to
their tribes.
9 Thus says the Master hwhy; Let it
suffice you, O governors of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): remove violence and spoil, and
execute right-ruling and justice, take
away your evictions of my people, says
the Master hwhy.
10 You shall have just balances, and a
just ephah, and a just bath.
11 The ephah and the bath shall be of
one measure that the bath may contain
the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah
the tenth part of a homer: the measure
thereof shall be after the homer.
12 And the shekel shall be twenty
gerahs: twenty shekels, twenty-five
shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your
maneh.
13 This is the contribution that you shall
offer; the sixth part of an ephah of a
homer of wheat, and you shall give the
sixth part of an ephah of a homer of
barley:
14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the
bath of oil, you shall offer the tenth part of
a bath out of the kor, which is a homer of
ten baths; for ten baths are a homer:
15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of
two hundred, out of the fat pastures of
880
Yah’sar’el (Israel); for a grain offering,
and for a burnt offering, and for shalom
(peace) offerings, to make reconciliation
for them, says the Master hwhy.
16 All the people of the land shall give
this contribution for the Nasi in Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
17 And it shall be the prince's part to
give burnt offerings, and grain offerings,
and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in
the new moons, and in the Sabbaths, in
all the appointed times of the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): he shall prepare the
sin offering, and the grain offering, and
the burnt offering, and the shalom
(peace) offerings, to make reconciliation
for the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
18 Thus says the Master hwhy; in the
first month, in the first day of the month,
you shall take a young bullock without
blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
19 And the kohen (priest) shall take of
the blood of the sin offering, and put it
upon the posts of the house, and upon
the four corners of the ledge of the altar,
and upon the posts of the gate of the
inner court.
20 And so you shall do the seventh day
of the month for everyone that makes a
mistake, and for him that is foolish: so
shall you reconcile the house.
21 In the first month, in the fourteenth
day of the month, you shall have the
Passover, a feast of seven days;
unleavened lechem (bread) shall be
eaten.
22 And upon that day shall the Nasi
prepare for himself and for all the people
of the land a bullock1 for a sin offering.
23 And seven days of the feast he shall
prepare a burnt offering to hwhy, seven
bullocks and seven rams without blemish
daily the seven days; and a kid of the
goats daily for a sin offering.
24 And he shall prepare a meat offering
1 We now go back to the model of Abraham to
offer a bull instead of a lamb.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah
for a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah.
25 In the seventh month, in the fifteenth
day of the month,1 shall he do the like in
the feast of the seven days, according to
the sin offering, according to the burnt
offering, and according to the grain
offering, and according to the oil.
Chapter 46
1 Thus says the Master hwhy; The gate
of the inner court that looks toward the
east shall be shut the six working days;
but on the Sabbath it shall be opened,
and in the day of the new moon it shall be
opened.
2 And the Nasi shall enter by the way of
the porch of that gate outside, and shall
stand by the post of the gate, and the
kohenim (priests) shall prepare his burnt
offering and his shalom (peace) offerings,
and he shall worship at the threshold of
the gate: then he shall go forth; but the
gate shall not be shut until the evening.
3 Likewise the people of the land shall
worship at the door of this gate before
hwhy in the Sabbaths and in the new
moons.
4 And the burnt offering that the Nasi
shall offer to hwhy in the Sabbath day
shall be six lambs without blemish, and a
ram without blemish.
5 And the grain offering shall be an
ephah for a ram, and the grain offering for
the lambs as he shall be able to give, and
a hin of oil to an ephah.
6 And in the day of the new moon it
shall be a young bullock without blemish,
and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be
without blemish.
7 And he shall prepare a grain offering,
an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for
a ram, and for the lambs according as his
hand shall attain to, and a hin of oil to an
ephah.
8 And when the Nasi shall enter, he
1 The feast of Tabernacles.
881
shall go in by the way of the porch of that
gate, and he shall go forth by the way
thereof.
9 But when the people of the land shall
come before hwhy in the solemn feasts,
he that enters in by the way of the north
gate to worship shall go out by the way of
the south gate; and he that enters by the
way of the south gate shall go forth by the
way of the north gate: he shall not return
by the way of the gate whereby he came
in, but shall go forth over against it.
10 And the Nasi in the midst of them,
when they go in, shall go in; and when
they go forth, shall go forth.
11 And in the feasts and in the
appointed times the grain offering shall
be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah
to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able
to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
12 Now when the Nasi shall prepare a
voluntary burnt offering or shalom
(peace) offerings voluntarily to hwhy, one
shall then open him the gate that looks
toward the east, and he shall prepare his
burnt offering and his shalom (peace)
offerings, as he did on the Sabbath day:
then he shall go forth; and after his going
forth one shall shut the gate.
13 You shall daily prepare a burnt
offering to hwhy of a lamb of the first year
without blemish: you shall prepare it
every morning.
14 And you shall prepare a grain
offering for it every morning, the sixth part
of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of
oil, to temper with the fine flour; a grain
offering continually by a perpetual
ordinance to hwhy.
15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb,
and the grain offering, and the oil, every
morning for a continual burnt offering.
16 Thus says the Master hwhy; if the
Nasi give a gift to any of his sons, the
inheritance thereof shall be his sons; it
shall be their possession by inheritance.
17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance
to one of his servants, then it shall be his
to the year of release; after it shall return
to the Nasi: but his inheritance shall be
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
his sons for them.
18 Moreover the Nasi shall not take of
the people's inheritance by oppression, to
thrust them out of their possession; but
he shall give his sons inheritance out of
his own possession: that my people be
not scattered every man from his
possession.
19 After he brought me through the
entry, which was at the side of the gate,
into the Set-Apart chambers of the
kohenim (priests), which looked toward
the north: and, behold, there was a place
on the two sides westward.
20 Then said he to me, This is the place
where the kohenim (priests) shall boil the
trespass offering and the sin offering,
where they shall bake the grain offering;
that they bear them not out into the utter
court, to set-apart the people.
21 Then he brought me forth into the
outer court, and caused me to pass by
the four corners of the court; and, behold,
in every corner of the court there was a
court.
22 In the four corners of the court there
were courts joined of forty cubits long and
thirty broad: these four corners were of
one measure.
23 And there was a row of building
round about in them, round about them
four, and places for boiling offerings
under the rows round about.
24 Then said he to me, These are the
places of them that boil offerings, where
the ministers of the Temple shall boil the
sacrifice of the people.
Chapter 47
1 Afterward he brought me again to the
door of the house; and, behold, waters
issued out from under the threshold of the
house eastward: for the forefront of the
house stood toward the east, and the
waters came down from under from the
882
right side1 of the house, at the south side
of the altar.
2 Then he brought me out of the way of
the gate northward, and led me about the
way without to the outer gate by the way
that looks eastward; and, behold, there
ran out waters on the right side.
3 And when the man that had the line in
his hand went forth eastward, he
measured a thousand cubits, and he
brought me through the waters; the
waters were to the ankles.
4 Again he measured a thousand, and
brought me through the waters; the
waters were to the knees. Again he
measured a thousand, and brought me
through; the waters were to the loins.
5 Afterward he measured a thousand;
and it was a river that I could not pass
over: for the waters were risen, waters to
swim in, a river that could not be passed
over.
6 And he said to me, Son of man, have
you seen this? Then he brought me, and
caused me to return to the brink of the
river.
7 Now when I had returned, behold, at
the bank of the river were very many
etzim (trees) on the one side and on the
other.
8 Then said he to me, These waters
issue out toward the east country, and go
down into the desert, and go into the sea:
which being brought forth into the sea,
the waters shall be healed.2
9 And it shall come to pass, that every
thing that lives, which moves, wherever
the rivers shall come, shall live: and there
shall be a very great multitude of fish,
because these waters shall come there:
for they shall be healed; and every thing
shall live where the river comes.
10 And it shall come to pass, that the

from the right side the gevurot side of YHWH.
2 The Dead Sea shall live.
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi
even to En-eglaim; they shall be a place
to spread forth nets; their fish shall be
according to their kinds, as the fish of the
great sea, exceeding many.
11 But the muddy places thereof and
the marshes thereof shall not be healed;
they shall be given to salt.
12 And by the river upon the bank
thereof, on this side and on that side,
shall grow all etzim (trees) for food,
whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall
the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall
bring forth new fruit every month,
because their waters they issued out of
the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall
be for food, and the leaf thereof for
medicine.1
13 Thus says the Master hwhy; This
shall be the border, whereby you shall
inherit the land according to the twelve
tribes of Yah’sar’el (Israel): Yosef shall
have two portions.
14 And you shall inherit it, one as well
as another: concerning which I lifted up
my hand to give it to your ahvot (fathers):
and this land shall fall to you for
inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the
land toward the north side, from the great
sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to
Zedad;
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is
between the border of Damascus and the
border of Hamath; Chatsar-hatticon,
which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be
Hatzar-Enan, the border of Damascus,
and the north northward, and the border
of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side you shall measure
from Hauran, and from Damascus, and
from Gilead, and from the land of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) by Yardan (Jordan),
from the border to the east sea. And this

is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from
Tamar even to the waters of strife in
Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And
this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great
sea from the border, till a man come over
against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall you divide this land to you
according to the tribes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
22 And it shall come to pass, that you
shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to
you, and to the strangers that sojourn
among you, which shall beget children
among you: and they shall be to you as
born in the country among the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); they shall have
inheritance with you among the tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
23 And it shall come to pass, that in
whatever tribe the foreigner lives, there
shall you give him his inheritance, says
the Master hwhy.
Inheritance for all the 12 tribes of
Yah’sar’el (Israel)
Chapter 48
1 Now these are the names of the
tribes. From the north end to the coast of
the way of Hethlon, as one goes to
Hamath, Hatzar-Enan, the border of
Damascus northward, to the coast of
Hamath; for these are his sides east and
west; a portion for Dan.
2 And by the border of Dan, from the
east side to the west side, a portion for
Asher.
3 And by the border of Asher, from the
east side even to the west side, a portion
for Naphtali.
4 And by the border of Naphtali, from
the east side to the west side, a portion
for Manashsheh.
5 And by the border of Manashsheh,
from the east side to the west side, a
portion for Ephraim.
6 And by the border of Ephraim, from
the east side even to the west side, a
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
portion for Reuben.
7 And by the border of Reuben, from the
east side to the west side, a portion for
Yahudah (Judah).
8 And by the border of Yahudah
(Judah), from the east side to the west
side, shall be the offering which you shall
offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in
breadth, and in length as one of the other
parts, from the east side to the west side:
and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of
it.
9 The contribution that you shall offer to
hwhy shall be of twenty-five thousand in
length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
10 And for them, even for the kohenim
(priests), shall be this Set-Apart
contribution; toward the north twenty-five
thousand in length, and toward the west
ten thousand in breadth, and toward the
east ten thousand in breadth, and toward
the south twenty-five thousand in length:
and the sanctuary of hwhy shall be in the
midst thereof.
11 It shall be for the kohenim (priests)
that are Set-Apart of the sons of Tzadok;
which have kept my charge, which went
not astray when the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) went astray, as the Lewites went
astray.
12 And this contribution of the land that
is offered shall be to them a thing most
Set-Apart by the border of the Lewites.
13 And over against the border of the
kohenim (priests) the Lewites shall have
twenty-five thousand in length, and ten
thousand in breadth: all the length shall
be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth
ten thousand.
14 And they shall not sell of it, neither
exchange, nor alienate the first-fruits of
the land: for it is Set-Apart to hwhy.
15 And the five thousand, that are left in
the breadth over against the twenty-five
thousand, shall be a profane place for the
city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the
city shall be in the midst thereof.
16 And these shall be the measures
thereof; the north side four thousand and
five hundred, and the south side four
884
thousand and five hundred, and on the
east side four thousand and five hundred,
and the west side four thousand and five
hundred.
17 And the suburbs of the city shall be
toward the north two hundred and fifty,
and toward the south two hundred and
fifty, and toward the east two hundred
and fifty, and toward the west two
hundred and fifty.
18 And the residue in length over
against the contribution of the Set-Apart
portion shall be ten thousand eastward,
and ten thousand westward: and it shall
be over against the contribution of the
Set-Apart portion; and the increase
thereof shall be for food to them that
serve the city.
19 And they that serve the city shall
serve it out of all the tribes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel).
20 All the contribution shall be twenty-
five thousand by five and twenty
thousand: you shall offer the Set-Apart
contribution foursquare, with the
possession of the city.
21 And the rest shall be for the Nasi, on
the one side and on the other of the Set-
Apart contribution, and of the possession
of the city, over against the five and
twenty thousand of the contribution
toward the east border, and westward
over against the twenty-five thousand
toward the west border, over against the
portions for the Nasi: and it shall be the
Set-Apart contribution; and the sanctuary
of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
22 Moreover from the possession of the
Lewites, and from the possession of the
city, being in the midst of that which is the
Nasi's, between the border of Yahudah
(Judah) and the border of Benyamin
(Benjamin), shall be for the Nasi.
23 As for the rest of the tribes, from the
east side to the west side, Benyamin
(Benjamin) shall have a portion.
24 And by the border of Benyamin
(Benjamin), from the east side to the west
side, Shimeon shall have a portion.
25 And by the border of Shimeon, from
 Ye’chez’el (Ezekiel)
the east side to the west side, Yah’sachar
(Issachar) a portion.
26 And by the border of Yah’sachar
(Issachar), from the east side to the west
side, Zebulun a portion.
27 And by the border of Zebulun, from
the east side to the west side, Gawd a
portion.
28 And by the border of Gawd, at the
south side southward, the border shall be
even from Tamar to the waters of strife in
Kadesh, and to the river toward the great
sea.
29 This is the land which you shall
divide by lot to the tribes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) for inheritance, and these are
their portions, says the Master hwhy.
30 And these are the goings out of the
city on the north side, four thousand and
five hundred measures.
31 And the gates of the city shall be
called after the names of the tribes of
885
Yah’sar’el (Israel): three gates northward;
one gate of Reuben, one gate of
Yahudah (Judah), one gate of Lewi.
32 And at the east side four thousand
and five hundred: and three gates; and
one gate of Yosef, one gate of Benyamin
(Benjamin), one gate of Dan.
33 And at the south side four thousand
and five hundred measures: and three
gates; one gate of Shimeon, one gate of
Yah’sachar (Issachar), one gate of
Zebulun.
34 At the west side four thousand and
five hundred, with their three gates; one
gate of Gawd, one gate of Asher, one
gate of Naphtali.
35 It was round about eighteen
thousand measures: and the name of the
city from that day shall be, hwhy is there.

1
Hoshea, the son of Beeri, in the days of
Uzzi’yah, Yahutham, Achaz, and
Chizqiyahu (Hezekiah), kings of Yahudah
(Judah), and in the days of Yarob’am the
son of Yoash, king of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 The beginning of the word of hwhy by
Hoshea. And hwhy said to Hoshea, Go,
take yourself a wife of whoring and
children of whoring: for the land has
committed great harlotry, departing from
hwhy.
3 So he went and took Gomer the
daughter of Diblaim; which conceived,
and bare him a son.
4 And hwhy said to him, Call his name
Yizre’el (Jezreel); for yet a little while, and
I will avenge the blood of Yizre’el
(Jezreel) upon the house of Yehu (Jehu),
and will cause to cease the kingdom of
the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
5 And it shall come to pass at that day,
that I will break the bow of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) in the valley of Yizre’el (Jezreel).
6 And she conceived again, and gave
birth to a daughter. And Elohim said to
him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will
no more have mercy upon the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); but I will utterly take
them away.
7 But I will have mercy upon the house
of Yahudah (Judah), and will save them
by hwhy their Elohim, and will not save
them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle,
by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 Now when she had weaned Lo-
ruhamah, she conceived, and gave birth
to a son.
9 Then said Elohim, Call his name Lo-

will not be your Elohim.
10 Yet the number of the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall be as the sand of
the sea, which cannot be measured nor
numbered;2 and it shall come to pass,
that in the place where it was said to
them, You are not my people, there it
shall be said to them, You are the sons of
the living El (Power).3
11 Then shall the children of Yahudah
(Judah) and the children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) be gathered together, and appoint
themselves one head, and they shall
come up out of the land: for great shall be
the day of Yizre’el (Jezreel).
Chapter 2
1 Say you to your brethren, Ammi; and
to your sisters, Ruhamah.
2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she
is not my wife, neither am I her husband:
let her therefore put away her whoring out
of her sight, and her adulteries from
between her breasts;4
3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as
in the day that she was born, and make
her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry
land, and slay her with thirst.
4 And I will not have mercy upon her
children; for they are the children of
whoring.
5 For their mother has played the harlot:
she that conceived them has done
shamefully: for she said, I will go after my
lovers, that give me my lechem (bread)
and my mayim (water), my wool and my
flax, my oil and my drink.

7 And she shall follow after her lovers,
but she shall not overtake them; and she
shall seek them, but shall not find them:
then shall she say, I will go and return to
1
my first husband; for then was it better
with me than now.2
8 For she did not know that I gave her
corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her
silver and gold, which they prepared for
Baal.
9 Therefore will I return, and take away
my grain in the time thereof, and my wine
in the season thereof, and will recover my
wool and my linen given to cover her
nakedness.
10 And now will I uncover her lewdness
in the sight of her lovers, and none shall
deliver her out of my hand.
11 I will also cause all her rejoicing, her
festivals, her new moons, and her
Sabbaths, and all her appointed times to
cease.
12 And I will destroy her vines and her
fig etzim (trees), whereof she has said,
These are my rewards that my lovers
have given me: and I will make them a
forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat
them.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of
Baalim, wherein she burned incense to
them, and she decked herself with her
earrings and her jewelry, and she went
after her lovers, and forgot me, says
hwhy.

and bring her into the wilderness, and
speak comfortably to her.

15 And I will give her, her vineyards
from there, and the valley of Akhor for a
door of hope: and she shall sing there, as
in the days of her youth, and as in the
day when she came up out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
16 And it shall be at that day, says
hwhy that you shall call me Ishi; and shall
no more call me Baali.3
17 For I will take away the names of
Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall
no more be remembered by their name.4
18 And in that day will I make a
covenant for them with the beasts of the
field, and with the fowls of shamayim
(heavens), and with the crawling things of
the ground: and I will break the bow and
the sword and the battle out of the earth,
and will make them to lie down safely.5

yes, I will betroth you to me in
righteousness, and in right-ruling, and in
loving-kindness, and in compassion.6
20 I will even betroth you to me in
faithfulness: and you shall know hwhy.7
21 And it shall come to pass in that day,

answer the earth;

false deities will be removed from the believers

knew they would be using these polluted names in
their exile and is not oblivious to them.
4 Then all believers will use the endeared title for
husband such as My Lord, which is Ishi in Hebrew.
5There is yet a future covenant that YHWH will
make with the twelve tribes.
6 YHWH will retake His Northern bride the House
of Israel.
7 Many Christians do not know YHWH because
they claim to know Jesus but do not really know
who He is.

shall answer Yizre’el (Jezreel).1
23 And I will sow her to me in the earth;
and I will have mercy upon her that had
not obtained mercy; and I will say to them
which were not my people, You are my
people; and they shall say, You are my
Elohim.
Chapter 3
1 Then said hwhy to me, Go yet, love a
woman beloved of her friend, yet an
adulteress, according to the love of hwhy
toward the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
who look to other mighty ones, and love
to offer raisin cakes to their idols.
2 So I bought her to me for fifteen
pieces of silver, and for a homer of
barley, and a half homer of barley:
3 And I said to her, You shall abide for
me many days; you shall not play the
whore, and you shall not be for another
man: so will I also be for you.
4 For the children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
shall abide many days without a king, and
without a prince, and without a sacrifice,
and without a sacred pillar, and without
an ephod, and without idols:2
5 Afterward shall the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) return, and seek hwhy

every one that dwells therein shall
languish, with the beasts of the field, and
with the fowls of shamayim (heavens);
yes, the fishes of the sea also shall be

4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove
another: for your people are as they that
strive with the kohen (priest).
5 Therefore shall you fall in the day, and
the prophet also shall fall with you in the
night, and I will destroy your mother.
6 My people have perished for lack of
knowledge: because you have rejected
knowledge, I will also reject you, from
being a kohen (priest) to me: seeing you
have forgotten the Torah3 of your Elohim,
I will also forget your sons.
7 As they were increased, so they
sinned against me: therefore will I change
their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and
they set their heart on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, like people, like

their ways, and reward them their doings.

enough: they shall commit whoring, and
shall not increase: because they have
stopped obeying hwhy.

13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the
mountains, and burn incense upon the
hills, under oaks and poplars and
terebinth, because the shadow under it is
good: your daughters shall commit
whoring, and your spouses shall commit
adultery.
14 I will not punish your daughters when
they commit whoring, nor your spouses
when they commit adultery: for
themselves are separated with whores,
and they sacrifice with temple prostitutes:
therefore the people that does not
understand shall fall.
15 Though you, Yah’sar’el (Israel), play
the harlot, yet let not Yahudah (Judah)
offend; and come not to Gilgal, neither go

you up to Beyth-Awen, nor swear, hwhy
lives.
16 For Yah’sar’el (Israel) has rebelled
as a stubborn heifer: would hwhy will now
feed them as a lamb in a broad place?
17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him
alone.
18 Their drink is sour: they have
committed temple whoring: her rulers do
love shame.
19 The wind has bound her up in her
wings, and they shall be ashamed
because of their sacrifices.
Chapter 5
1 Hear this, O kohenim (priests); and
hearken, you house of Yah’sar’el (Israel);
and give ear, O house of the king; for
right-ruling is toward you, because you
have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net
spread upon Tabor.
2 And the revolters are profound to
make slaughter, though I have rebuked
them all.
3 I know Ephraim and Yah’sar’el (Israel)
is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim,
1 House of wickedness.
2 The broad place is Torah and YHWH will not feed
them as they have rebelled!
you commit whoring and Yah’sar’el
(Israel) is defiled.
4 They will not frame their doings to turn
to their Elohim: for the ruach (spirit) of
whoring is in the midst of them, and they
have not known hwhy.
5 And the pride of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
does testify to his face: therefore shall
Yah’sar’el (Israel) and Ephraim fall in
their iniquity; Yahudah (Judah) also shall
fall with them.
6 They shall go with their flocks and with
their herds to seek hwhy; but they shall
not find him; he has withdrawn himself
from them.
7 They have dealt treacherously against
hwhy: for they have begotten strange
children: now shall a new moon devour
them with their portions.
8 Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah, and
the shofar in Ramah: cry aloud at Beyth-
Awen, after you, O Benyamin (Benjamin).

of rebuke: among the tribes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) have I made known that which
shall surely be.
10 The princes of Yahudah (Judah)
were like them that remove the border:
therefore I will pour out my wrath upon
them like mayim (water).
11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in
judgment, because he willingly walked
after Tsaw, the worthless idol.
12 Therefore will I be to Ephraim as a
moth, and to the house of Yahudah
(Judah) as rottenness.
13 When Ephraim saw his sickness,
and Yahudah (Judah) saw his wound,
then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and
sent to king Yareb: yet could he not heal
you, nor cure you of your wound.
14 For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and
as a young lion to the house of Yahudah
(Judah): I, even I, will tear and go away; I
will carry them off, and none shall rescue
him.
15 I will go and return to my place, till
they acknowledge their offence, and seek
my face: in their affliction they will seek

he has torn, and he will heal us; he has
struck us, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the
third day he will raise us up, and we shall
live in his sight.3
3 Then shall we know if we follow on to
know hwhy: his going forth is prepared as
the morning; and he shall come to us as
the rain, as the latter and former rain to
the earth.
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O
Yahudah (Judah), what shall I do to you?
For your goodness is as a morning cloud,
and as the early dew it goes away.
5 Therefore have I hewed them by the
prophets; I have slain them by the words
of my mouth: and your judgments are as
the light that goes forth.
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice;
and the knowledge of Elohim more than
burnt offerings.4

for they commit lewdness.
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel): there is the
whoring of Ephraim, Yah’sar’el (Israel) is
defiled.
11 Also, O Yahudah (Judah), he has
appointed a harvest for you, when I return
the captivity of my people.
Chapter 7
1 When I would have healed Yah’sar’el
(Israel), then the iniquity of Ephraim was
uncovered, and the wickedness of
Shomeron (Samaria): for they commit
falsehood; and the thief comes in, and
the band of robbers raid in the streets.
2 And they consider not in their hearts
that I remember all their wickedness: now
their own doings have beset them about;
they are before my face.
3 They make the king glad with their
wickedness, and the princes with their
lies.
4 They are all adulterers, as an oven
heated by the baker, who ceases from
raising after he has kneaded the dough,
until it be leavened.
5 In the day of our king the princes have
made him sick with bottles of wine; he
stretched out his hand with scorners.
6 For they have made ready their heart
like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their
baker sleeps all the night; in the morning
it burns as a flaming fire.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and have
devoured their judges; all their kings are
fallen: there is none among them that
calls to me.
8 Ephraim, he has mixed himself among
the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength,
and he knows it not: yes, gray hairs are
here and there upon him, yet he knows
not.
10 And the pride of Yah’sar’el (Israel)
testifies to his face: and they do not
return to hwhy their Elohim, nor seek him
for all this.

the fowls of the shamayim (heavens); I
will chastise them, as their congregation
has heard.
13 Woe to them! For they have fled from
me: destruction to them! Because they
have transgressed against me: though I
have redeemed them, yet they have
spoken lies against me.
14 And they have not cried to me with
their heart, when they wailed upon their
beds: they assemble themselves for grain
and new wine, and they rebel against me.
15 Though I have bound and
strengthened their arms, yet do they
imagine mischief against me.
16 They return, but not to the most
High: they are like a deceitful bow: their
princes shall fall by the sword for the rage
of their tongue: this shall be their derision
in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
Chapter 8
1 Set the shofar to your mouth. He shall
come as an eagle against the house of
hwhy, because they have transgressed
my covenant, and trespassed against my
Torah.
2 Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall cry to me, My
Elohim, we know you.
3 Yah’sar’el (Israel) has cast off the
thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue
him.
4 They have set up kings, but not by
me: they have made princes, and I knew
it not: of their silver and their gold have
they made them idols that they may be
cut off.
5 Your calf, O Shomeron (Samaria), has
cast you off; my anger is kindled against
them: how long will they attain to
innocence?
6 For from Yah’sar’el (Israel) was it also:
the workman made it; therefore it is not
Elohim: but the calf of Shomeron
(Samaria) shall be broken in pieces.
891
7 For they have sown the wind, and
they shall reap the whirlwind: it has no
stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be
it yielding, the strangers shall swallow it
up.
8 Yah’sar’el (Israel) is swallowed up:
now shall they be among the nations as a
vessel wherein is no pleasure.
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild
donkey alone by himself: Ephraim has
hired lovers.
10 Yes, though they have hired among
the nations, now will I gather them, and
they shall sorrow a little for the burden of
the king of princes.
11 Because Ephraim has made many
altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.1
12 I have written to him the great things
of my Torah, but they were counted as a
strange thing.
13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices
of my offerings, and eat it; but hwhy
accepts them not; now will he remember
their iniquity, and visit their sins: they
shall return to Mitzrayim (Egypt).
14 For Yah’sar’el (Israel) has forgotten
his Maker, and builds palaces; and
Yahudah (Judah) has multiplied fenced
cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities,
and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Chapter 9
1 Rejoice not, O Yah’sar’el (Israel), for
joy, as other people: for you have gone
whoring from your Elohim, you have
loved a wages upon every threshing floor.
2 The floor and the winepress shall not
feed them, and the new wine shall fail in
her.
3 They shall not dwell in hwhy's land;
but Ephraim shall return to Mitzrayim
(Egypt), and they shall eat unclean things
in Assyria.2
1 Two of their altars of sin are Christmas and
Easter pagan feasts.
2 Where is Ephraim?
 Hoshea (Hosea)
4 They shall not offer wine offerings to
hwhy, neither shall they be pleasing to
him: their sacrifices shall be to them as
the lechem (bread) of mourners; all that
eat thereof shall be polluted: for their
lechem (bread) for their soul shall not
come into the house of hwhy.
5 What will you do in the appointed day,
and in the day of the feast of hwhy?
6 For, lo, they are gone because of
destruction: Mitzrayim (Egypt) shall
gather them up, Memphis shall bury
them: the pleasant places for their silver,
nettles shall possess them: thorns
bushes shall occupy their homes.
7 The days of visitation are come, the
days of recompense are come; Yah’sar’el
(Israel) shall know it: the prophet is a fool,
the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude
of your iniquity, and the great hatred.
8 The watchman of Ephraim was with
my Elohim: but the prophet is a snare of a
fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the
house of his Elohim.
9 They have deeply corrupted
themselves, as in the days of Gibeah:

million in Pakistan from the other Ten northern
tribes who do not know their roots since they lost
their identity.
There are possibly sixty to seventy million blood

recently. Then you have Burma, China, Syria, Iran,
Iraq, Turkey and many other nations. What about

therefore he will remember their iniquity,
he will visit their sins.
10 I found Yah’sar’el (Israel) like grapes
in the wilderness; I saw your ahvot
(fathers) as the first ripe in the fig etz
(tree) at her first time: but they went to
Baal-peor, and separated themselves to
that shame; and their abominations were
according as they loved.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly
away like a bird, from the birth, and from
the womb, and from the conception.
12 Though they bring up their children,
yet will I bereave them, that there shall
not be a man left: yes, woe also to them
when I depart from them!
13 I see Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is
planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim
shall bring forth his children to the
murderer.
14 Give them, O hwhy: what will you
give? Give them a miscarrying womb and
dry breasts.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for
there I hated them: for the wickedness of
their doings I will drive them out of my
house, I will love them no more: all their
princes are revolters.
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried
up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though
they bring forth, yet will I slay even the
beloved fruit of their womb.
17 My Elohim will cast them away,
because they did not hearken to him: and
they shall be wanderers among the
nations.
Chapter 10

12 Ephraim surrounds me about with

with deceit: but Yahudah (Judah) yet
rules with El (Power),1 and is faithful with
the Israelite kedoshim (saints).

after the east wind: he daily increases lies

covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is

Chapter 14
1 O Yah’sar’el (Israel), return to hwhy
your Elohim; for you have fallen by your
idols with which you committed sin.3
2 Take with you words, and turn to
hwhy: say to him, Take away all our
perversions, and receive us graciously:
so will we render repentance of our lips
rather than the offering of sacrificial
bulls.4
3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not
ride upon horses: neither will we say any
more to the work of our hands, You are
our mighty ones: for in you the fatherless
finds mercy.
4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love
them freely: for my anger is turned away
from him.
5 I will be as the dew to Yah’sar’el
(Israel): he shall grow as the lily, and cast
forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 His branches shall spread, and his
beauty shall be as the olive etz (tree),
and his smell as Lebanon.
7 They that dwell under his shadow
shall return; they shall revive as the grain,
and grow as the vine: the scent thereof
shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do
any more with idols? I have heard him,
and observed him: I am like a green fir
etz (tree). From me is your fruit found.
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand
3 The Hebrew word here is not just for sin but a
particular type of grievous sin by bowing down to
idols.
4 This verse is usually misinterpreted in many
bibles by obscuring the facts. YHWH is very clear
that He will accept repentance by our lips alone
rather than bulls and goats. So this applies to the
House of Israel because the context applies to
them and others also. What do you do when there
is no Temple then this is the solution offered. To
obey Torah and to repent with our lips is akin to
for believers to enter into eternity clothed with
righteousness supplied by the Abbah YHWH in
heaven.

3 4 types of locust are described
Chewing locust gazam to mean “devourer”
Swarming Locust - arbah
Crawling locust - Yalek (Young locust)
Consuming locust - Khaseel
The Palestinian/Muslims described as the
“devourer” this is the root meaning of the word for
the first locust especially these Arbeh (locusts) are
desert roaming creature who send their young
“Yalek” to mean young locust to “feed” akal to eat
and they are living on blood like a drip feed by
killing the people in the land of Israel via suicide

to show they multiply very quickly they have a lot

4 The Hebrew word for Wake is “koots” from
where we also get the word acoustics, the idea
here is to wake up from the sleep that the church
is in their stupor, the call to the leaders who have
been preaching New Testament only faith, wake
up you fools you drunk in your foolish doctrines.
The “wine” and “new wine” is the poetic way of
describing the doctrines that have been created in
the present day churches such as New Testament
only and Torah only for Jews etc which is untrue
and an error of many generations.
Here the metaphor of “wine” the drash is perfectly
to New Testament preachers. They are still arguing
whether the wine is with alcohol or without in
other words their preaching has been sadly wrong
all along.
It is the midnight hour and there is no time left to
argue grape juice or wine.
5 This great army has fire before them. The
Hebrew word is Aysh for fire, the strong and might
one with the sharp sword. Lehebah or Lehebeth,
for the teeth of a lion.
Generally speaking a lion has 30 teeth then this
shows us that the fighting Muslim countries will
divide in a block of seven from what the book or
Revelation 13:1 describes as the seven heads. This
means there needs to be at least 30 Islamic
nations behind the action which would give us the
block of 7. The immediate leaders are ten
according to Rev 13:2 and Daniel 7:7, the ten
horns or leaders after whom the 11th horn leader
will come who we is the Anti-Messiah also referred
to as the Gog of the land of Magog mentioned in

hwhy,
15 Alas for the day! For the day of hwhy
is at hand and as destruction from El-
Shaddai shall it come.3
16 Is not the food cut off before our
eyes, yes, joy and gladness from the
house of our Elohim?
17 The seed is rotten under their clods,
the garners are laid desolate, the barns
are broken down; for the grain has
withered.
18 How do the beasts groan! The herds
have no pasture; yes, the flocks of sheep
also perish.4
19 O hwhy, to you will I cry: for the fire
has devoured the pastures of the
wilderness, and the flame has burned all
the etzim (trees) of the field.
20 The beasts of the field cry also to
you: for the rivers of waters are dried up,
and the fire has devoured the pastures of
the wilderness.
Chapter 2
1 Blow you the shofar in Tsiyon, and
sound an alarm in my Set-Apart
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the
land tremble: for the Day of hwhy comes,
for it is near at hand;5
3 All the elders, pastors, priests alike are called to
fast for this judgment is severe and it is called the
Day of YHWH or YOM YHWH, on a Sabbath not
Sunday. YHWH’s day is always Sabbath
mentioned numerous times in the Torah.

The animals moan and are hungry because of
“your” punishment, your wrong doings and your
sins. Drash allegoric also of lack of the true words
of Elohim, the words of YHWH through which we
feed replacing the foolish words which are not
food.
5 Why blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the
alarm in My Holy Mountain?
 Yo’el (Joel)
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess,
a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as
the morning spread upon the mountains:
a great people and a strong; there has
not been ever like, neither shall be any
more after it, even to the years of many
generations.
3 A fire devours before them; and
behind them a flame burns: the land is as
the garden of Ayden (Eden) before them,
and behind them a desolate wilderness;1
yes and nothing shall escape them.2
4 The appearance of them is as the
appearance of horses; and as
horsemen,3 so shall they run.
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops
of mountains shall they leap, like the
noise of a flame of fire that devours the
stubble, as a strong people set in battle
Zion is all the community of believers in the world,
His Excellency, His government on earth and His
holy mountain is Jerusalem, the place of His
habitation in Israel plus the one Qahal in the
world. The Day of YHWH is a feast day and a high
holy Sabbath day.
1 House of Esau shall be destroyed see Obad’yah
1:18 i.e., the Islamic armies that come up while
Islam will not be fully destroyed yet. The House of
Joseph shall be a flame in other words those that
accepted King Messiah because Joseph is the type
of Messiah in Egypt and all likewise Yahushua is
the Messiah, which the Jewish people do not
recognize today because they see someone like
Joseph’s brothers who is Egyptian in other words
the Messiah looks like a European to His own
brothers so they do not recognize Him. He looks
Egyptian, acts Egyptian as in the case of Joseph
but then Joseph did reveal himself to his brothers
and wept. Here Judah weeps once they recognize
their long lost brother.
2 Esav; This is a strong army of believers in Israel.
A great army is raised this is the ARMY OF
YHWH not Satan as most had believed. These are
YHWH’s set-apart ones. The “fire” is the drash for
the House of Jacob (12 tribes), the flame is the
House of Joseph, the believers in Messiah
Yahushua.

horses in other words they are strong and it
describes them as ‘war’ horses, paw rawsh.

6 Before their face the people shall be
much pained: all faces shall gather
blackness.
7 They shall run like mighty men; they
shall climb the wall like men of war; and
they shall march every one on his ways,
and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they
shall walk every one in his path: and
when they fall upon the sword, they shall
not be wounded.5
9 They shall run to and fro in the city;
they shall run upon the wall, they shall
climb up upon the houses; they shall
enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 The earth shall quake before them;
the heavens shall tremble: the sun and
the moon shall be dark, and the stars
shall withdraw their shining:6
11 And hwhy shall utter his voice before
his army: for his camp is very great: for
he is strong that executes his word: for
the day of hwhy is great and very terrible;
and who can abide it?7
12 Therefore also now, says hwhy,
repent even to me with all your heart, and
with fasting, and with weeping, and with
mourning:
13 And tear your heart, and not your
garments, and return to hwhy your
Elohim with repentance: for he is
gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and
of great kindness, and relents from
bringing disaster.

congregation, assemble the elders,
gather the children, and those that nurse
the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of
his chamber, and the bride out of her
chupah (bridal-chamber).2
17 Let the kohenim (priests), the
ministers of hwhy, weep between the
porch and the altar, and let them say,
Spare your people, O hwhy, and give not
your heritage3 to reproach, that the
nations should rule over them: Therefore
should they say among the people,
Where is their Elohim?
18 Then will hwhy be jealous for his
land, and pity his people.
19 Yes, hwhy will answer and say to his
people, Behold, I will send you grain, and
wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied
therewith: and I will no more make you a
reproach among the nations:
20 But I will remove far off from you the
northern army, and will drive him into a
1 The fast is the reference to the Day of
atonement and this is in the future so those who
teach that these things are only for the Jewish
nation should rethink as none of these things are
abrogated and still stand.
2 The pre-tribulation teachers use this to say see
the Bride had been taken out and now is brought
back after the rapture, nothing could be further
from the truth. The word for the “bridal-chamber”
or “closet” is “chupah.” In other words that is not
where the marriage was consummated but that is
where the marriage vows were taken affirming her
loyalty to the husband. This has nothing to do with
a pretribulation rapture.
3 The only heritage that YHWH has is Israel, so
either you are part of Israel and with it or you
have no part with Israel and you are outside of it,
which would mean you have no part in the
covenants and thousand year reign in Jerusalem to
come which is only for Israel.

toward the Dead Sea, and his rear part
toward the Mediterranean Sea, and his
stink shall come up, and his ill savour

great things.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and
rejoice: for hwhy will do great things.
22 Be not afraid, you beasts of the field:
for the pastures of the wilderness do
spring, for the etz (tree) bears her fruit,
the fig etz (tree) and the vine do yield
their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Tsiyon,
and rejoice in hwhy your Elohim: for he
has given you the former rain moderately,
and he will cause to come down for you
the rain, the former rain, and the latter
rain in the first month.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat,
and the vats overflow with fresh wine and
olive oil.
25 And I will restore to you the years
that the locust has eaten, the
cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the
palmerworm, my great army which I sent
among you.
26 And you shall eat in plenty, and be
satisfied, and praise the name of hwhy
your Elohim that has dealt wondrously
with you: and my people shall never be
ashamed.4
27 And you shall know that I am in the
midst of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and that I am
hwhy your Elohim, and none else: and
my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out my Ruach (Spirit) upon
all flesh; and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, your old men
shall dream dreams, your young men
shall see visions:5

upon the handmaids in those days will I

and in the earth, blood, and fire, and
pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood,
before the great and the terrible day of
hwhy come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that

hwhy shall be delivered: for in Mount
Tsiyon and in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)

time, when I shall bring again the captivity
of Yahudah (Judah) and Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem),

bring them down into the valley of
Yahushafat, and will plead with them
there for my people and for my heritage

scattered among the nations, and divided
my land.2

and have given a boy for a harlot, and
sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

5 Because you have taken my silver
and my gold, and have carried into your
heathen temples my goodly pleasant
things:
6 The children also of Yahudah (Judah)
and the children of Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) have you sold to the
Yavanim (Western Turks),5 that you
might remove them far from their border.
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the
place where you have sold them, and will
return your repayment upon your own
head:
8 And I will sell your sons and your
daughters into the hand of the children of
Yahudah (Judah), and they shall sell
them to the Sabeans, to a people far off:
for hwhy has spoken it.
9 Proclaim you this among the nations;
Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let
all the men of war draw near; let them
come up:
10 Beat your plowshares into swords,
and your pruning hooks into spears: let
the weak say, I am strong.
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all
you nations, and gather yourselves
together roundabout: there cause your

12 Let the nations be wakened, and
come up to the valley of Yahushafat: for
there will I sit to judge all the nations
roundabout.

ripe: come, get down; for the press is full,

hope of his people and the strength of the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel).

Apart mountain: then shall Yerushalayim

wine, and the hills shall flow with milk,

shall come forth of the house of hwhy,

1 The words of Ahmos, who was
among the herdsmen of Tekowa, which
he saw concerning Yah’sar’el (Israel) in
the days of Uzzi’yah king of Yahudah
(Judah), and in the days of Yarob’am the
son of Yoash king of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
two years before the earthquake.
2 And he said, hwhy will roar from
Tsiyon, and utter his voice from
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem); and the
habitations of the shepherds shall mourn,
and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Thus says hwhy; for three
transgressions of Damascus, and for
four, I will not turn away the punishment
thereof; because they have threshed
Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 But I will send a fire into the house of
Khaza’el, which shall devour the palaces
of Ben-hadad.2
5 I will break also the bar of Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of
Awen, and him that holds the sceptre
from the house of Ayden (Eden): and the
people of Syria shall go into captivity to
Kir, says hwhy.
6 Thus says hwhy; For three
transgressions of Azzah (Gaza), and for
four, I will not turn away the punishment
thereof; because they carried away
captive the whole captivity, to deliver
them up to Edom:
7 But I will send a fire on the wall of
Azzah (Gaza), which shall devour the
palaces there:
1 Amos was prophet to northern kingdom, Tekowa
is six miles south of Bethlehem in the wilderness of
Judea.
2 The destruction of the Assyrian empire, which is
all occupied by Muslims today.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from
Ashdod, and him that holds the sceptre
from Ashkelon,3 and I will turn my hand
against Ekron: and the remnant of the
Plushtim (Philistines) shall perish, says
the Master hwhy.
9 Thus says hwhy; For three
transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I
will not turn away the punishment there;
because they delivered up the whole
captivity to Edom, and remembered not
the brotherly covenant:4
10 But I will send a fire on the wall of
Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces
thereof.
11 Thus says hwhy; For three
transgressions of Edom, and for four, I
will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because he did pursue his brother with
the sword, and did cast off all pity, and
his anger did tear perpetually, and he
kept his wrath forever:
12 But I will send a fire upon Teman,
which shall devour the palaces of
Bozrah.5
13 Thus says hwhy; For three
transgressions of the children of Ammon,
and for four, I will not turn away the
punishment thereof; because they have
ripped up the women with child of Gilead,
that they might enlarge their border:
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of
Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces
there, with shouting in the day of battle,
with a strong gale in the day of the
whirlwind:
15 And their king shall go into captivity,
he and his princes together, says hwhy.
3 This is future so here it shows that Palestinians
leaders will be killed.

1 Thus says hwhy; For three
transgressions of Moab, and for four, I
will not turn away the punishment there;
because he burned the bones of the king
of Edom into lime:
2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it
shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and
Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting,
and with the sound of the shofar:
3 And I will cut off the judge from the
midst there, and will slay all the princes
there with him, says hwhy.
4 Thus says hwhy; For three
transgressions of Yahudah (Judah), and
for four, I will not turn away the
punishment there; because they have
despised the Torah of hwhy, and have
not kept his commandments, and their
lies caused them to err, after which their
ahvot (fathers) have walked:
5 But I will send a fire upon Yahudah
(Judah), and it shall devour the palaces
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
6 Thus says hwhy; For three
transgressions of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
for four, I will not turn away the
punishment thereof; because they sold
the righteous for silver, and the poor for a
pair of shoes;
7 That pants after the dust of the earth
on the head of the poor, and turn aside
the way of the meek: and a man and his
father will go in to the same maid, to
profane my Set-Apart name:1
8 And they lay themselves down upon
clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and
they drink the wine of the condemned in
the house of their mighty ones.2
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before
them, whose height was like the height of

10 Also I brought you up from the land
of Mitzrayim (Egypt), and led you forty
years through the wilderness, to possess
the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up of your sons for
prophets, and of your young men for
Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O you
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel)? Says
hwhy.
12 But you gave the Nazarites wine to
drink; and commanded the prophets,
saying, prophesy not.
13 Behold, I am weighed down by you,
as a cart is weighted down that is full of
sheaves.
14 Therefore the flight shall perish from
the swift, and the strong shall not
strengthen his force, neither shall the
mighty deliver himself:
15 Neither shall he stand that handles
the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall
not deliver himself: neither shall he that
rides the horse deliver himself.
16 And he that is courageous among
the mighty shall flee away naked in that
day, says hwhy.

1 Hear this word that hwhy has spoken
against you, O children of Yah’sar’el

and the people not be afraid? Shall there
be evil in a city, and hwhy has not done

nothing, but he reveals his secret to his
servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared, who will not fear?
The Master hwhy has spoken, who can
but prophesy?

and in the palaces in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and say, Assemble
yourselves upon the mountains of
Shomeron (Samaria), and behold the
great tumults in the midst thereof, and the
oppressed in the midst thereof.
10 For they know not to do right, says
hwhy, who store up violence and robbery
in their palaces.
11 Therefore thus says the Master
hwhy; An adversary there shall be even
round about the land; and he shall bring
down your strength from you, and your
palaces shall be spoiled.
12 Thus says hwhy; As the shepherd
takes out of the mouth of the lion two
legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the
children of Yah’sar’el (Israel) be taken out
that dwell in Shomeron (Samaria) in the
corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a
couch.

Ya’acob (Jacob), says the Master hwhy,
the Elohim of hosts,
14 That in the day that I shall visit the
transgressions of Yah’sar’el (Israel) upon
him I will also visit the altars of Beyth’el:
and the horns of the altar shall be cut off,
and fall to the ground.1

1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan
that are in the mountain of Shomeron
(Samaria), which oppress the poor, which
crush the needy, which say to their
masters, Bring, and let us drink.
2 The Master hwhy has sworn by his
set-apartness, that, lo, the days shall
come upon you, that he will take you
away with hooks, and your posterity with
fishhooks.
3 And you shall go out at the gaps in the
walls, every cow at that which is before
her; and you shall cast them into the
palace, says hwhy.
4 Come to Beyth’el, and transgress; at
Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring
your sacrifices every morning, and your
tithes after three years:
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving
with leaven, and proclaim and proclaim
the free offerings: for you have loved this,
O you children of Yah’sar’el (Israel), says
the Master hwhy.
6 And I also gave you no food to eat
and lack of lechem (bread) in all your
places: yet you have not returned to me,
says hwhy.
7 And also I have withheld the rain from
you, when there were yet three months to
the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon
one city, and caused it not to rain upon
another city: one piece was rained upon,
and the piece whereupon it rained not
withered.
8 So two or three cities wandered to one
city, to drink mayim (water); but they were
not satisfied: yet have you not returned to
me, says hwhy.
9 I have smitten you with drought and
disease: when your orchards and your
vineyards and your fig etzim (trees) and
your olive etzim (trees) increased, the
locust devoured them: yet you have not
returned to me, says hwhy.
10 I have sent among you the
 Amos (Ahmos)
pestilence after the manner of Mitzrayim
(Egypt): your young men have I slain with
the sword and have taken away your
horses; and I have made the stink of your
camps to come up to your nostrils: yet
you have not returned to me, says hwhy.
11 I have overthrown some of you, as
Elohim overthrew Sedom (Sodom) and
Amorah (Gomorrah), and you were as a
firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet
you have not returned to me, says hwhy.
12 Therefore thus will I do to you, O
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and because I will do
this to you, prepare to meet your Elohim,
O Yah’sar’el (Israel).
13 For, lo, he that forms the mountains,
and creates the wind, and declares to
man what is his thought, that makes the
morning darkness, and treads upon the
high places of the earth, hwhy, The
Elohim of hosts, is his name.
Chapter 5
1 Hear this word which I take up against
you, even a lamentation, O house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 The virgin of Yah’sar’el (Israel) is
fallen; and not get up again: she is
forsaken upon her land; there is none to
raise her up.
3 For thus says the Master hwhy; The
city that went out by a thousand shall
leave a hundred, and that which went
forth by a hundred shall leave ten, to the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
4 For thus says hwhy to the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), Seek me, and you
shall have life:
5 But seek not Beyth’el, nor enter into
Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for
Gilgal shall surely go into captivity and
Beyth’el shall come to naught.
6 Seek hwhy, and you shall have life;
lest he break out like fire in the house of
Yosef, and devour it, and there be none
to quench it in Beyth’el.
7 You who turn right-ruling to
wormwood, and they throw justice and
righteousness to the ground,
8 Seek him that makes the seven stars
907
and Orion,1 and turns the shadow of
death into the morning, and makes the
day dark with night: that calls for the
waters of the sea, and pours them out
upon the face of the earth: hwhy is his
name:
9 That strengthens the spoiled against
the strong, so that the spoiled shall come
against the fortress.
10 They hate him that rebukes in the
gate, and they abhor him that speaks
uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your
treading is upon the poor, and you make
him pay tax of on his wheat crop: you
have built houses of chiseled stone, but
you shall not dwell in them; you have
planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall
not drink wine of them.
12 For I know your manifold
transgressions and your mighty sins: they
afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they
turn aside the poor in the gate from their
right.
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep
silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
14 Seek good, and not evil, that you
may live: and so hwhy, the Elohim of
hosts, shall be with you, as you have
spoken.
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and
establish right-ruling in the gate: it may be
that hwhy Elohim of hosts will be
gracious to the remnant of Yosef.
16 Therefore hwhy, the Elohim of hosts,
the Master, says thus; Wailing shall be in
all streets; and they shall say in all the
highways, alas! Alas! And they shall call
the husbandman to mourning, and such

of hwhy is darkness, and not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a
bear met him; or went into the house, and
leaned his hand on the wall, and a
serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the day of hwhy be
darkness, and not light? Even very dark,
and no brightness in it?
21 I have hated, and I despise your
festivals, and I have no pleasure in your
solemn assemblies.1
22 Though you offer me burnt offerings
and your grain offerings, I will not accept
them: neither will I regard the shalom
(peace) offerings of your fatted calves.
23 Take away from me the noise of your
songs; for I will not hear the melody of
your stringed instruments.
24 But let right-ruling run down as
waters, and righteousness as a mighty
stream.
25 Have you offered to me sacrifices
and offerings in the wilderness forty
years, O house of Yah’sar’el (Israel)?
26 But you have taken up Sikkuth your
king and the idols of Kiyyun,2 you astral
elohim, which you made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into
captivity beyond Damascus, says hwhy,

1 YHWH is projecting into the future and talking
about Christendom and its solemn days such as
Sunday and other days they hold dear. YHWH is
declaring he has no pleasure on their worship on
Sunday or on Christendom’s appointed festivals
since they have left off YHWH’s feasts behind.

Chapter 6
1 Woe to them that are at ease in
Tsiyon, and trust in the mountain of
Shomeron (Samaria), which are named
chief of the nations, to whom the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) comes!3
2 Pass you to Calneh, and see; and
from there go to Hamath the great: then
go down to Gath of the Plushtim
(Philistines): be they better than these
kingdoms? Or is their border greater than
your border?
3 You that put far away the evil day, and
cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 That lies upon beds of ivory, and
stretch themselves upon their couches,
and eat the lambs out of the flock, and
the calves out of the midst of the stall;
5 That chant to the sound of the
stringed instruments, and invent to
themselves instruments of music, like
Dawud (David);
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint
themselves with the chief ointments: but
they are not grieved for the affliction of
Yosef.
7 Therefore now shall they go captive
with the first that go captive, and the
banquet of them that stretched
themselves shall be removed.
8 The Master hwhy has sworn by
himself, says hwhy the Elohim of hosts, I
abhor the excellence of Ya’acob (Jacob),
and hate his palaces: therefore will I
deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there
remain ten men in one house that they
shall die.
10 And a man's uncle shall take him up,
and he that burns him, to bring out the
bones out of the corpses, and shall say to
him that is by the sides of the house, Is
there yet anyone with you? And he shall
say, No. Then he shall say, Hold your
tongue: for we may not make mention of
the name of hwhy.
3 Nations of the world on which Israel trusts.
 Amos (Ahmos)
11 For, behold, hwhy commands, and
he will smite the large house into bits,
and the small house into pieces.
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? Will
one plow there with oxen? For you have
turned right-ruling into gall, and the fruit of
righteousness into hemlock:
13 You who rejoice in a thing of naught,
which say, Have we not taken to us horns
by our own strength?
14 But, behold, I will raise up against
you a nation, O house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), says hwhy the Elohim of hosts;
and they shall afflict you from the entry of
Lebo-Hemath to the wadi of Arabah.
Chapter 7
1 Thus has the Master hwhy showed to
me; and, behold, he formed locusts 1 Beyth’el
swarms in the beginning of the shooting
up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the
latter growth after the royal harvest.
2 And it came to pass, that when they
had made an end of eating the grass of
the land, then I said, O Master hwhy,
forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall
Ya’acob (Jacob) arise? For he is small.
3 hwhy relented from doing this: It shall
not happen, says hwhy.
4 Thus has the Master hwhy showed to
me: and, behold, the Master hwhy called
to contend by fire, and it devoured the
great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O Master hwhy, cease, I
beseech you: by whom shall Ya’acob
1 The Septuagint translates the verse this way;
The Lord hath shown me, and, Behold, a swarm of
locusts were coming, and behold, one of the young
devastating locusts was Gog the King. Amos 7:1
(LXX)And Pro 30: 27 says Locusts have no king
over them Also, Revelation 9:3, 11 says And they
had a king over them. Interestingly, Amos
identifies GOG as a spiritual Power and leader, not
a human leader. This fits with the fact that
although Gog is a human being but behind him the
spiritual power that empowers him is of Satan,
which fits our thesis of the Anti-Messiah coming
out of Islam but powered by Satan to fight the
people of Elohim.

(Jacob) arise? For he is small.
6 hwhy relented for this: This also shall
not happen, says the Master hwhy.
7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the
Master stood upon a wall made by a
plumb-line, with a plumbline in his hand.
8 And hwhy said to me, Ahmos, what
do you see? And I said, A plumbline.
Then said the Master, Behold, I will set a
plumb-line in the midst of my people
Yah’sar’el (Israel): I will no more overlook
their sin:
9 And the high places of Yahsac (Isaac)
shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall be laid waste; and
I will rise against the house of Yarob’am
with the sword.
10 Then Amazi’yah the kohen (priest) of
sent to Yarob’am king of
Yah’sar’el (Israel), saying, Ahmos has
conspired against you in the midst of the
house of Yah’sar’el (Israel): the land is
not able to bear all his words.
11 For thus Ahmos says, Yarob’am
shall die by the sword, and Yah’sar’el
(Israel) shall surely be led away captive
out of their own land.
12 Also Amazi’yah said to Ahmos, O
you seer, go, flee you away into the land
of Yahudah (Judah), and there eat
lechem (bread), and prophesy there:
13 But prophesy not again any more at
Beyth’el: for it is the king's chapel, and it
is the king's court.
14 Then answered Ahmos, and said to
Amazi’yah, I was no prophet, neither was
I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman,
who also took care of sycamore fig etzim
(trees):
15 And hwhy took me as I followed the
flock, and hwhy said to me, Go, prophesy
to my people Yah’sar’el (Israel).
16 Now therefore hear the word of the
hwhy: You say, Prophesy not against
Yah’sar’el (Israel), and drop not your
word against the house of Yahsac
(Isaac).
17 Therefore thus says hwhy; Your wife
shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons
and your daughters shall fall by the
 Amos (Ahmos)
sword, and your land shall be divided by
line; and you shall die in a polluted land:
and Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall surely go into
captivity forth of his land.
Chapter 8
1 Thus has the Master hwhy showed to
me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Ahmos, what do you
see? And I said A basket of summer fruit.
Then said hwhy to me, The end is come
upon my people of Yah’sar’el (Israel); I
will no more overlook their sin.
3 And the songs of the Temple shall be
wailing in that day, says the Master
hwhy: there shall be many dead bodies
in every place; they shall cast them forth
everywhere. Be silence.
4 Hear this, O you that swallow up the
needy, even to make the poor of the land
to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be
gone, that we may sell grain? And the
Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat,
making the ephah small, and the shekel
great, and falsifying the scales by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals; yes,
and sell the chaff of the wheat?
7 hwhy has sworn by the excellence of
Ya’acob (Jacob), Surely I will never forget
any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this and
every one mourn that dwells therein? And
it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it
shall be cast out and drowned, as by the
flood of Mitzrayim (Egypt).
9 And it shall come to pass in that day,
says the Master hwhy, that I will cause
the sun to go down at noon, and I will
darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into
mourning and all your songs into
lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth
upon all loins, and baldness upon every
head; and I will make it as the mourning
of an only son, and the end thereof as a
bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, says Master
hwhy, that I will send a famine in the
910
land, not a famine of lechem (bread),1 nor
a thirst for mayim (water), but of hearing
the words of hwhy:2
12 And they shall wander from sea to
sea, and from the north even to the east,
they shall run to and fro to seek the word
of hwhy, and shall not find it.3
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and
young men weary for thirst.
14 They that swear by the sin of
Shomeron (Samaria), and say, Your
Elohim, O Dan, lives; and, The manner of
Beersheba lives; even they shall fall, and
never rise up again.
Chapter 9
1 I saw the Master standing upon the
altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the
door, that the posts may shake: and cut
them in the head, all of them; and I will
slay the last of them with the sword: he
that flees of them shall not flee away, and
he that escapes of them shall not be
delivered.
2 Though they dig into hell, there shall
my hand take them; though they climb up
to shamayim (heavens), there will I bring
1 The Hebrew word for “bee” is - ‫ דבורה‬d’vorah, or
“deborah.” The root of this word is ‫ דבר‬d’var, the
literal meaning of which is “word.” To put it
context, physical bees are a picture of the Word of
YHWH. Interestingly, large number of Bee colonies
are vanishing and declining worldwide. No one is
really sure why the bees are disappearing or where
they are going which poses a threat to food
supplies. So, if the vanishing bees are an indication
of an approaching famine, what is their connection
to the spiritual famine? It hints to us that people
will not hear the true unadulterated Word of
YHWH, as famine is not for food (word) but for
hearing of the word of Adonai.
2 Churches are full of words but they are not the
words of YHWH and the famine continues in our
lands to this day.
3 People desperately want to hear truth and enroll
in seminaries from across the world to go overseas
but even seminaries are not teaching the words of
YHWH but man made church doctrines that have
no foundation in the Torah.

3 And though they hide themselves in
the top of Carmel, I will search and take
them out there; and though they be hid
from my sight in the bottom of the sea,
there will I command the serpent, and he
shall bite them:
4 And though they go into captivity
before their enemies, there will I
command the sword, and it shall slay
them: and I will set my eyes upon them
for evil, and not for good.
5 And the Master hwhy of hosts is he
that touches the land, and it shall melt,
and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and
it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and
shall be drowned, as by the flood of
Mitzrayim (Egypt).
6 It is he that builds his stories in the
shamayim (heavens), and has founded
his troop in the earth; he that calls for the
waters of the sea, and pours them out
upon the face of the earth: hwhy is his
name.
7 Are you not as children of the Cush
(Sudan) to me, O children of Yah’sar’el
(Israel)? says hwhy. Have not I brought
up Yah’sar’el (Israel) out of the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt)? And the Plushtim
(Philistines) from Caphtor, and the
Assyrians from Kir?
8 Behold, the eyes of the Master hwhy
are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will
destroy it from off the face of the earth;
saving that I will not utterly destroy the
house of Ya’acob (Jacob), says hwhy.

the house of Yah’sar’el (Israel) among all

11 In that day will I raise up the
tabernacle of Dawud (David)3 that is
fallen, and repair the breeches thereof;
and I will raise up his ruins, and I will
rebuild it as in the days of old:4
12 That they may possess the remnant
of Edom, and of all the nations, which are
called by my name, says hwhy that does
this.
13 Behold, the days come, says hwhy,
that the plowman shall overtake the
reaper, and the treader of grapes him that
sows seed; and the mountains shall drop
sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14 And I will bring again the captivity of
my people of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and they
shall rebuild the waste cities, and inhabit
them; and they shall plant vineyards, and
drink the wine there; they shall also make
orchards, and eat the fruit of them.
15 And I will plant them upon their land,
and they shall no more be pulled up out
of their land which I have given them,

2 The ones who continue to sin in foreign lands
will die or be killed because of their sin and no
protection will be offered to them.
3 The specialty of the tabernacle of David, (Second
Sam 6:17-19) was that both Jews and strangers
(Gentiles) were allowed to come freely and
worship YHWH and even today in the same
manner Elohim is restoring the breach between
the two Houses of Israel (North and South), which
has been from centuries to make them ONE new
man in Messiah Yahushua who is the restorer of
ALL things.

these are the End-Time armies that are encamped

have yet to see when YHWH calls forth and Gog
(Turkey) will come into action and then start
leading the Islamic world towards this goal of the
great battle. Right now Turkey and Iran have
made inroads to distance themselves from Israel
which shows us that prophecy is going along
smoothly just as in scripture that these two nations
will distance themselves from Arabia and in the
end will attack it also to bring about the
destruction of the harlot of Babylon though they
are not necessarily the ones to destroy her but
others Muslim nations will take part in that where
the US and the UK and other allied forces will be

that prophet Obadiah does not speak about the

specially about the Islamic End-Times Empire that
is going to do extreme
violence against Israel. God is going to judge it for
its pride, arrogance and

behaved themselves ill in their doings.
5 Thus says hwhy concerning the

6 Therefore night shall be to you that

the sun shall go down over the prophets,
and the day shall be dark over them.

8 But truly I am full of power by the

Migdal Eder was not "the watchtower for the
ordinary flocks that pastured on the barren sheep
ground beyond Bethlehem, but it lay close to the
town, on the road to Jerusalem." A passage from
the Mishnah leads to the conclusion that 'the
flocks, which pastured there were destined for
Temple sacrifices..." (Shekelim 7:4) In addition,
Migdal Eder is also mentioned by the Targums.
Thus, Targum Yonatan, cited by Rabbi Munk,
paraphrases Genesis 35:23 and Micah 4:8, "He
spread his tent beyond Migdal Eder, the place
where King Messiah will reveal Himself at the end
of days."
Migdal Eder was the watchtower that guarded the
Temple flocks those who were being raised to
serve as sacrificial animals in the Temple. These
were not just any flock and herd. The shepherds
who kept them were men who were specifically
trained for this royal task. They were educated in
what an animal that was to be sacrificed had to be
and it was their job to make sure that none of the
animals were hurt, damaged, or blemished.

Chapter 1
1 The burden which Chabaqquk the
prophet did see.
2 O hwhy, how long shall I cry, and you
will not listen! I cry out to you violence,
and you do not deliver!
3 Why do you show me iniquity, and
cause me to behold grievance? For
plundering and violence are before me:
and there are that raise up strife and
contention.
4 Therefore the Torah ceases, and
right-ruling never goes forth: for the
wicked surrounds the righteous; therefore
wrong-ruling proceeds.
5 Behold yourself among the nations,
and regard, and wonder marvellously: for
I will work a work in your days, which you
will not believe, though it be told you.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that
bitter and hasty nation, which shall march
through the breadth of the land, to
possess the dwelling places that are not
their's.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their
judgment and their dignity shall proceed
of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the
leopards, and are more fierce than the
evening wolves: and their horsemen shall
spread themselves, and their horsemen
shall come from far; they shall fly as the
eagle that hurry to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their
faces shall sup up as the east wind, and
they shall gather the captivity as the
sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and
the princes shall be a scorn to them: they
shall deride every stronghold; for they
shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he

power to his mighty one.
12 Are you not from everlasting, O
hwhy my Elohim, my Set-Apart One? We
shall not die. O hwhy, you have ordained
them for judgment; and, O mighty Elohim,
you have established them for correction.
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold
evil, and cannot look on iniquity: Why do
you look upon them that deal
treacherously, and hold your tongue
when the wicked devours the man that is
more righteous than he?
14 And make men as the fishes of the
sea, as the crawling things, that have no
ruler over them?
15 They take up all of them with the
hook, they catch them in their net, and
gather them in their dragnet: therefore
they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net,
and burn incense to their dragnet;
because by them their portion is fat, and
their meat plenteous.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net,
and not spare continually to slay the
nations?

3 I will consume man and beast; I will
consume the fowls of the shamayim

the stumbling-blocks with the wicked; and
I will cut off man from off the land, says
hwhy.
4 I will also stretch out my hand upon
Yahudah (Judah), and upon all the
inhabitants of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem);
and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from
this place, and the name of the
Chemarims with the kohenim (priests);

housetops; and them that worship and
that swear by hwhy, and that swear by

7 Hold your shalom (peace) at the
presence of the Master hwhy: for the day
of hwhy is at hand: for hwhy has
prepared a sacrifice, he has invited his

8 And it shall come to pass in the day of
hwhy's sacrifice that I will punish the
princes, and the king's children, and all
such as are clothed with strange apparel.
9 In the same day also will I punish all
those that leap on the threshold, which fill
their masters' houses with violence and
deceit.

10 And it shall come to pass in that day,

of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling

11 Howl, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for
all the merchant people are cut down; all

That's remarkable! Zephaniah talks about Hebrew

3 The people of Israel who have started to speak
Hebrew since 1948, Hebrew is the pure language
but it will be further refined and more people in

hunger and a thirst among the Christians who
want to learn Hebrew. (Barar safah-pure

with the 5 final forms are embedded in this verse,
which is a confirmation from Abbah YHWH as in

language Hebrew, which started happening after
the state of Israel came into existence in 1948.

1 In the second year of Dareyawesh
(Darius) the king, in the sixth month, in
the first day of the month, came the word
of hwhy by Chaggai1 (Haggai) the
prophet to Zerubbab’el the son of
Shealti’el, governor of Yahudah (Judah),
and to Yahushua (Joshua) the son of
Yehotzadaq, the Kohen Ha Gadol (High
Priest), saying,
2 Thus speaks hwhy of hosts, saying,
This people say, The time is not come,
the time that hwhy's house should be
built.
3 Then came the word of hwhy by
Chaggai (Haggai) the prophet, saying,
4 Is it time for you, O you, to dwell in
your panelled houses, and this house lie
waste?
5 Now therefore thus says hwhy of
hosts; consider your ways.
6 You have sown much, and bring in
little; you eat, but you have not enough;
you drink, but you are not filled with drink;
you clothe yourselves, but there is no
warmth; and he that earns wages earns
wages to put it into a bag with holes.2
1 The time period of Haggai, was when the Jews
were returning after captivity of 70 years from
Babylon but only 25% of people came back and
they were busy in building their own houses and
did not care for the rebuilding of the Temple.
2 Even today since people do not care about
Jerusalem or YHWH’s work or His house they only
live a vanity life to work for themselves and they
get nowhere. All believers should desire to build on
YHWH’s work and help those Torah teachers who
are trying to work for the kingdom without division
because that is YHWH’s desire, which will lead to
restoration of the whole of Israel and rebuilding of
the 3rd Temple with the return of Messiah.
936
7 Thus says hwhy of hosts; consider
your ways.
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring
wood, and build the Temple; and I will
take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,
says hwhy.
9 You looked for much, and, lo, it came
to little; and when you brought it home, I
did blow upon it. Why? Says hwhy of
hosts. Because of my Temple lays waste
and you run every man to his own
house.3
10 Therefore the shamayim (heavens)
over you has held back her dew, and the
earth from her fruit.
11 And I called for a drought upon the
land, and upon the mountains, and upon
the grain, and upon the new wine, and
upon the oil, and upon that which the
ground brings forth, and upon men, and
upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the
hands.4
12 Then Zerubbab’el the son of
Shealti’el, and Yahushua (Joshua) the
son of Yehotzadaq, the Kohen Ha Gadol
(High Priest), with all the remnant of the
people, obeyed the voice of hwhy their
Elohim, and the words of Chaggai
(Haggai) the prophet, as hwhy their
Elohim had sent him, and the people did
fear hwhy.
13 Then spoke Chaggai (Haggai)
hwhy's messenger in hwhy's message to
the people, saying, I am with you, says
hwhy.
14 And hwhy stirred up the Ruach
(Spirit) of Zerubbab’el the son of
Shealti’el, governor of Yahudah (Judah),
and the Ruach (Spirit) of Yahushua
(Joshua) the son of Yehotzadaq, the
Kohen Ha Gadol (High Priest), and the
3 People worried about self then YHWH’s house.
4 Nine is the number for judgment and here we
see there are 9 judgment pronounced on the
people for their disobedience.
 Chaggai (Haggai)
Ruach (Spirit) of all the remnant of the
people; and they came and did work in
the Temple of hwhy of hosts, their
Elohim,
15 In the twentieth four day of the sixth
month, in the second year of Dareyawesh
(Darius) the king.
Chapter 2
1 In the twenty-first day of the seventh
month, came the word of hwhy by the
prophet Chaggai (Haggai), saying,
2 Speak now to Zerubbab’el the son of
Shealti’el, governor of Yahudah (Judah),
and to Yahushua (Joshua) the son of
Yehotzadaq, the Kohen Ha Gadol (High
Priest), and to the remnant of the people,
saying,
3 Who is left among you that saw this
Temple in her first glory? And how do you
see it now? Is it not in your eyes in
comparison of it as nothing?
4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbab’el,
says hwhy; and be strong, O Yahushua
(Joshua), son of Yehotzadaq, the Kohen
Ha Gadol (High Priest); and be strong, all
you people of the land, says hwhy, and
work: for I am with you, says hwhy of
hosts:
5 The word that I covenanted with you
when you came out of Mitzrayim (Egypt),
so my Ruach (Spirit) remains1 among
you: do not fear.
6 For thus says hwhy of hosts; Yet
once, it is a little while, and I will shake
the heavens, and the earth, and the sea,
and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the
precious ones2 of all nations shall come:
1 Even today the Spirit of YHWH is with Judah this
is a future message to get ready to build the 3rd
Temple.
2 The ten tribes will return to Israel that is why we
see shaking of the nations these are all gentile
countries.
and I will receive honour due to me from
this Temple, says hwhy of hosts.3
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is
mine, says hwhy of hosts.
9 The glory of this latter house4 shall be
greater than the former, says hwhy of
hosts: and in this place will I give shalom
(peace), says hwhy of hosts.5
10 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth
month, in the second year of Dareyawesh
(Darius), came the word of hwhy by
Chaggai (Haggai) the prophet, saying,
11 Thus says hwhy of hosts; Ask now
the kohenim (priests) concerning the
Torah, saying,
12 If one bear Set-Apart food in the
corner of his garment, and with his corner
do touch lechem (bread), or stew, or
wine, or oil, or any food, shall it be Set-
Apart? And the kohenim (priests)
answered and said, No.
13 Then said Chaggai (Haggai), if one
that is unclean by a dead body touch any
of these, shall it be unclean? And the
kohenim (priests) answered and said, it
shall be unclean.
14 Then answered Chaggai (Haggai),
and said, So is this people, and so is this
nation before me, says hwhy; and so is
every work of their hands; and that which
they offer there is unclean.
15 And now, I pray you, consider from
this day and upward, from before a stone
was laid upon a stone in the Temple of
hwhy:
16 Since those days were, when one
came to a twenty ephahs, there were but
ten: when one came to the wine press to
3 YHWH’s long awaited desire will be fulfilled
which is to receive honour from all the people the
twelve tribes so they obey Torah and serve YHWH.

5 The 3rd Temple will be glorious with Messiah

draw out fifty baths, there were but
twenty.
17 I smote you with drought and with
disease and with hail in all the labours of
your hands; yet you turned not to me,
says hwhy.
18 Consider now from this day and
upward, from the twenty-fourth day of the
ninth month, even from the day that the
foundation of hwhy's Temple was laid,
consider it.
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, as
yet the vine, and the fig etz (tree), and the
pomegranate, and the olive etz (tree),
has not brought forth: from this day will I
bless you.
20 And again the word of hwhy came to
Chaggai (Haggai) in the twenty-fourth day
of the month, saying,
21 Speak to Zerubbab’el, governor of
Yahudah (Judah), saying; I will shake the
heavens and the earth;
22 And I will overthrow the throne of and by their own brothers. The reference to “in
kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength that day,” is none other than the “Day of the

Chapter 1
1 In the eighth month, in the second
year of Dareyawesh (Darius), came the
word of hwhy to Zechar’yah, the son of
Berekyahu, the son of Iddo the prophet,
saying,
2 hwhy has been sore displeased with
your ahvot (fathers).
3 Therefore say you to them, Thus says
hwhy of hosts; Turn to me, says hwhy of
hosts, and I will turn to you, says hwhy of
hosts.
4 Be you not as your ahvot (fathers), to
whom the former prophets have cried,
saying, Thus says hwhy of hosts; Turn
now from your evil ways, and from your
evil doings: but they did not hear, nor
hearken to me, says hwhy.
5 Your ahvot (fathers), where are they?
And the prophets, do they live forever?
6 But my words and my statutes, which
I commanded my servants the prophets,
did they not take hold of your ahvot
(fathers)? And they returned and said,
Like as hwhy of hosts thought to do to
us, according to our ways, and according
to our doings, so has he dealt with us.
7 Upon the twenty-fourth day of the
eleventh month, which is the month
Shebat, in the second year of
Dareyawesh (Darius), came the word of
hwhy to Zechar’yah, the son of
Berekyahu, the son of Iddo the prophet,
saying,
8 I saw by night, and behold a man
riding upon a red horse, and he stood
among the myrtle etzim (trees) that were
in the bottom; and behind him were red
horses, speckled, and white.
9 Then said I, O my master, what are
these? And the angel that talked with me
said to me, I will show you what these be.
939
10 And the man that stood among the
myrtle etzim (trees) answered and said,
These are they whom hwhy has sent to
walk to and fro through the earth.
11 And they answered the angel of
hwhy that stood among the myrtle etzim
(trees), and said, We have walked to and
fro through the earth, and, behold, all the
earth sits still, and is at rest.
12 Then the angel of hwhy answered
and said, O hwhy of hosts, how long will
you not have mercy on Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) and on the cities of Yahudah
(Judah), against which you have had
indignation these seventy years?
13 And hwhy answered the angel that
talked with me with good words and
comfortable words.
14 So the angel that communed with
me said to me, call out, saying, Thus
says hwhy of hosts; I am jealous for1
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) and for Tsiyon
with a great jealousy.
15 And I am very sore displeased with
the nations that are at ease: for I was but
a little displeased, and they helped
increase their sorrow.2
16 Therefore thus says hwhy; I will
return to Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) with
mercies: my house shall be built in it,
says hwhy of hosts, and a line shall be
stretched forth upon Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
17 Call yet, saying, Thus says hwhy of
hosts; My cities through prosperity shall
yet be spread abroad; and hwhy shall yet
comfort Tsiyon, and shall yet choose

Jerusalem, He can hide His face for a moment but
He will be always there for Israel.

Islamic nations and the Western nations dealt with
Israel.

Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).1
18 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw,
and behold four powers.
19 And I said to the angel that talked
with me, Who are these? And he
answered me, These are the powers
which have scattered Yahudah (Judah),
2Yah’sar’el (Israel), and Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem).
20 And hwhy showed me four
craftsmen.
21 Then I said, What do these come to
make? And he spoke, saying, These are
those powers which have scattered
Yahudah (Judah), so that no man did lift
up his head: but these are come to
trouble them, to cast out the powers of
gentiles, which lifted up their power over
the land of Yahudah (Judah) to scatter it.3
Chapter 2
1 I lifted up my eyes again, and looked,
and behold a man with a measuring line
in his hand.
2 Then said I, Where go you? And he
said to me, To measure Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem), to see what is the breadth
thereof, and what is the length thereof.
3 And, behold, the angel that talked with
me went forth, and another angel went
out to meet him,
1 YHWH will indeed comfort and choose Jerusalem
as His name is there forever.
2The ones that scattered Jewish Israel are
Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia and Rome.
3 The first four powers that came to throw and
cast out Judah were all middle-eastern but
presently these four powers are centered in all
Islamic nations around about Israel, loosely today
not widely Babylon (Iraq), Medo-Persia (Iran and
Kurdistan), Grecian (Turkey, Syria and Lebanon)
and Rome (Ten toe nations all Islamic). The next
four powers that come have come to throw these
out and help reestablish Israel, these next four
powers are UK, USA, France and Australia.
4 And said to him, Run, speak to this
young man, saying, Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) shall be inhabited as towns
without walls for the multitude of men and
cattle therein:
5 For I, says the hwhy, will be to her a
wall of fire round about, and will be the
glory in the midst of her.
6 Woe, woe, come forth, and flee from
the land of the north, says hwhy: for I
have spread you abroad as the four
winds of the shamayim (heavens), says
hwhy.
7 Deliver yourself, O Tsiyon, that dwell
with the daughter of Babylon.
8 For thus says hwhy of hosts; After the
glory has he sent me to the nations which
spoiled you: for he that toucheth you
toucheth the apple of his eye.
9 For, behold, I will shake my hand
upon them, and they shall be a spoil to
their servants: and you shall know that
hwhy of hosts has sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of
Tsiyon:4 for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in
the midst of you,5 says hwhy.
11 And many nations6 shall be joined to
hwhy in that day,7 and shall be my
people: and I will dwell in the midst of
you, and you shall know that hwhy of
hosts has sent me to you.

1 And he showed me Yahushua
(Joshua) the Kohen Ha Gadol (High
Priest) standing before Malakh (Angel) of
hwhy, and Shaitan (Satan) standing at
his right hand2 to resist him.3
2 And hwhy said to Shaitan (Satan),
hwhy rebuke you, O Shaitan (Satan);
even hwhy that has chosen
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) rebuke you: is
this not a burning stick plucked out of the
fire?
3 Now Yahushua (Joshua) was clothed
with filthy garments, and stood before the
Malakh (angel).
4 And he answered and spoke to those
that stood before him, saying, Take away
the filthy garments from him. And to him
1 YHWH will choose Jerusalem again and the tribe
of His people Israel who are called Judah, they
were marked for salvation while YHWH will expel
all the Islamic soldiers who want to acquire the
land. Those that get saved at that time e.g.,
Muslims will join Israel. This is also a death blow to
those who live in replacement theology that is the
church because no such church will be allowed to
stand and no denomination will stand in that day
as it will only be Israel the one nation, one King
Messiah in Akhad unity.
2 Satan using all his strength on the right.
3 Right side is reserved for YHWH, (this is the
reason why Zechariah gets afraid when angel
Gabriel appears at the right side of the golden
altar Luke 1:11). Satan counterparts YHWH and is
able to accuse at the golden altar because
Yahushua the High Priest’s garments were dirty,
because priestly garments were not to be thrown
but were buried in the ground and after 70 years
of captivity when the priests returned they used
the same garment which gave Satan the chance to
caste accusation against Yahushua, the High
Priest.
he said, Behold, I have caused your
iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe
you with change of clothing.4
5 And I said, Let them set a clean
turban upon his head. So they set a clean
turban upon his head, and clothed him
with garments. And the Malakh (angel) of
hwhy stood by.
6 And the Malakh (angel) of hwhy
protested to Yahushua (Joshua), saying,
7 Thus says hwhy of hosts; if you will
walk in my ways, and if you will keep my
charge, then you shall also judge my
house, and shall also keep my courts,
and I will give you places to walk among
these that stand by.
8 Hear now, O Yahushua (Joshua) the
Kohen Ha Gadol (High Priest), both you,
and your fellows that sit before you: for
they are men of symbol: for, behold, I will
bring forth my servant the BRANCH.5

1 And the angel that talked with me
came again, and waked me, as a man
that is wakened out of his sleep,
2 And said to me, What do you see?
And I said, I have looked, and behold a
menorah all of gold, with a bowl upon the
top of it, and its seven lamps thereon,
and seven pipes to the seven lamps,
which are upon the top thereof:4
3 And two olive etzim (trees) by it, one
upon the right side of the bowl, and the
other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel
that talked with me, saying, What are
these, my master?
5 Then the angel that talked with me
answered and said to me, Know you not
what these be? And I said, No, my
master.
6 Then he answered and spoke to me,
saying, This is the word of hwhy to
and earth later hence why our forefathers
were allowed to live this lifestyle because it is
kadosh and of above. Also Seven eyes as there are
the seven continents of the world, YHWH’s eye
(Spirit) watches each and every continent.

will return to learn and obey Torah.
3 The fig etz is national Israel all learning and
studying Torah.
4 The menorah with seven branches at top and
three divisions below making Ten which shows
why YHWH works in tens, the ten tests, the ten
plagues, the ten commandments etc.
Zerubbab’el, saying, Not by might, nor by
power, but by my Ruach (Spirit), says
hwhy of hosts.
7 Who are you, O great mountain?
Before Zerubbab’el you shall become a
plain: and he shall bring forth the
headstone thereof with shouting, crying,
favour, favour to it.5
8 Moreover the word of hwhy came to
me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbab’el have laid
the foundation of this house; his hands
shall also finish it; and you shall know
that hwhy of hosts has sent me to you.6
10 For who has despised the day of
small things? For they shall rejoice, and
shall see the plummet in the hand of
Zerubbab’el with those seven; they are
the eyes of hwhy, which run to and fro
through the whole earth.7
11 Then answered I, and said to him,
5 World War III - Unmasking the End-Times Beast
page 346
Note these things: Zerubbabel laid the foundation
of the Temple and he shall finish it. He says “who
are you O Great Mountain,” this reference is to the
Islamic Empire, or the beast/kingdom to tell them
that they have no control over us. The Mountain
(kingdom) still stands and is not destroyed. This
prophecy has had only a partial fulfillment and in
proper order it will only be fully fulfilled in the
latter days. The Master tells us that these two olive
trees are the witnesses of the Master. The clincher
two olive trees and the two lamp stands standing
before the Elohim YHWH of the earth. The same is
repeated earlier in Zechariah 4:14 where YHWH
said, "These are the two anointed ones, who stand
beside the Master of the whole earth.'' Moreover,
Haggai gives us a tremendous prophecy about
Zerubbabel and the end times.
6 Zerubbabel is one of the returning witnesses of
the book of Revelation 11:3.
7 See footnote Zec 3:9.
942
 Zechar’yah (Zechariah)
What are these two olive etzim1 (trees)
upon the right side of the candlestick and
upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said to
him, What be these two olive branches
which through the two golden pipes
empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said,
Know you not what these be? And I said,
No, my master.
14 Then said he, These are the two
anointed ones that stand by the Master of
the whole earth. 2
1 The two olive trees represent the House of
Judah and the house of Ephraim/Israel and in the
end of days they will became akhad.
2 The immediate context is Yahushua the High
Priest and Zerubbabel; these two are personified
and depicted as two witnesses. The allegory fits
the two individuals spoken about in Revelation
11:3 because the passage speaks about finishing
the Temple or more correctly the 3rd Temple so
these are the two identified as Elijah and
Zerubbabel. One from the House of Ephraim and
the other from Judah. Note these both are
messiahs. Do not be confused as scripture
identifies two Messiahs one from the line of Aaron
and the other from the line of David. We need to
understand that the Messiah does not fit both and
cannot be fitting into both offices, this unfortunate
confusion comes when one forgets that at all times
in Israel’s history we have the eternal King YHWH
and the human king in Israel, we never had one
single King ruling all the time from the heaven.
Also this helps us to see that when the King
Messiah returns who we agree is Yahushua, He will
rule and reign as the supreme King but king David
will also be raised and he will reign as the prince
under the supreme king so there again we will see
a picture of two messiahs both anointed as is
being shown in this passage. The two offices
sometimes converge but they show us separation
too. We need to understand that the Messiah
needs to fill the office of the High Priest well then
that would be Aaron’s line and also the office of
the House of David then that would be the Davidic
line but the priesthood there is not Aaronic or
levitical but Melechzedek. It would be a gross
contradiction to say that YHWH decided to fill the
Chapter 5
1 Then I turned, and lifted up my eyes,
and looked, and behold a flying scroll.3
2 And he said to me, What do you see?
And I answered, I see a flying scroll; the
length is thirty feet by fifteen feet wide.
3 Then said he to me, This is the curse
that goes forth over the face of the whole
earth: for every one that steals shall be
cut off as on this side according to it; and
every one that swears shall be cut off as
on that side according to it.4
4 I will bring it forth, says hwhy of hosts,
and it shall enter into the house of the
thief, and into the house of him that
swears falsely by my name: and it shall
remain in the midst of his house, and
shall consume it with the timber thereof
and the stones there.5
role of the High Priest of Aaron a line of Levi and
decided to replace it with Judah but knowing that
the Messiah Yahushua also has a bloodline of Levi
helps us understand there is no contradiction.
3 A Torah scroll. The word of YHWH travels as it
has been since the last 4000 years all across the
nations.
4 This mentions the Islamic nations with curses on
both sides of the Torah affecting them.
5 IBID page 211
All those that swear falsely by the Torah shall be
killed, or cut off by it. All those that falsely claim
Israel as their own land, shall suffer and bring a
curse upon themselves and their children, as seen
in Zechariah 5:3. The text “remain in their house,”
is a reference to a generational curse. Have you
not noticed how though Arab Muslim nations are
rich and wealthy; they still cannot prosper in real
practical terms for the man on the street. Why is
this? The reason is given above, that these are the
ones who make the false claims on the land of
Israel. The curse that they brought upon
themselves is a generational curse. No ones
children can ever escape Islam without the blood
of Yahushua liberating them and breaking the
curse. The only way to break this curse is through
the Messiah Yahushua by repentance and by
acknowledging the promises of the Elohim of Israel
to His chosen people Israel.

This is a barrel of liquid that goes forth.
He said moreover, This is their
resemblance through all the earth.
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a
talent of lead: and this is a woman that
sits in the midst of the barrel of liquid.2
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And
he cast it into the midst of the barrel of
liquid; and he cast the weight of lead
upon the mouth thereof.3
1 IBID page 211
Now the Master is really identifying these people.
The word “ephah” can be used for either gallons of
liquid, or dry things, but here liquid is in view and
we are talking about barrels, what barrels? Barrels
of oil my friends. YHWH is identifying a people
with “gallons of oil” an economical wealth that
affects the whole earth and the people identified
are in the Middle East, confirmed by other
references in the Bible such as Psalm 83, Ezekiel
35, and Obadiah 1.
2 IBID page 211
This woman (city or a range of location) sits in the
middle of the oil! The talent is presented as the
city that is controlling the economic cycles of the
nations. And who do you think this could be? The
nations who control the economic cycles are the
Arab nations with their oil. This woman, symbolic
for a city is in the midst of this entire black liquid
(oil). Note the talent Hebrew word “kikkar” also
describes a round about area near Jordan. Now we
may understand the symbols in this passage.
3 IBID page 212
The Master describes this city as wickedness
reserved for judgment with the lead weight i.e. its
sins being very heavy and not cast out. Casting the
lead weight is also symbolic of war and guess what
we already have? War going on in Iraq. When the
Fallujah Muslims attacked some US civilians during
the end of March 2004, they killed four Americans
with grenades and burned their bodies. Then they
were beating the charred bodies with metal bars,
later hanging the pieces of the charred corpses on
9 Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked,
and, behold, there came out two women,
and the wind was in their wings; for they
had wings like the wings of a stork: and
they lifted up the barrel of liquid between
the earth and the shamayim (heavens).4
10 Then said I to the angel that talked
with me, Where do these bear the barrel
of liquid?
11 And he said to me, To build a house
in the land of Shinar:5 and it shall be
established, and set there upon her own
base.
a bridge. Is this not wickedness? Saddam Hussain
tortured his victims to death, some by burning and
others by cutting hands and feet, breaking of
bones, and the ripping of skin off of the body. This
is what sort of atrocities took place in the Iraqi
cities. This is the sort of wickedness that is in view
here also.
4 IBID page 212
First there was one woman (city) now there are
two women (two cities). These women
(propagating false faith) are spreading false
religion through their political clout i.e. through the
barrel of oil, and the petrodollar. They have a lot
of economical power to move nations. The picture
of the stork is an unclean animal that spreads
something foul. This is why the wings indicate
spreading abroad through the wind. Have we seen
a revival of Islam since 9/11? I would say
absolutely “yes,” as we are strangely finding more
people becoming Muslims rather then less.
Basically we are told this is the revival of Islam,
and the two cities in view are Babylon in Iraq and
Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Remember the TV stations
continually telling people about the holy city of
Najjaf, where there is the shrine of Imam Ali, the
first martyr of Islam? It is correct to say this is the
revival of the old into the new, or the old Islam
into the new Islam. Just as the old was
fundamentalist, so the new must be
fundamentalist also.

Chapter 6
1 And I turned, and lifted up my eyes,
and looked, and, behold, there came four
chariots out from between two mountains;
and the mountains were mountains of
bronze. 1
2 In the first chariot were red horses;
and in the second chariot black horses;
3 And in the third chariot white horses;
and in the fourth chariot grizzled and bay
horses.
4 Then I answered and said to the angel
that talked with me, What are these, my
master?
5 And the angel answered and said to
me, These are the four spirits of the
heavens, which go forth from standing
before the Master of all the earth.
6 The black horses which are therein go
forth into the north country; and the white
go forth after them; and the grizzled go
forth toward the south country.
7 And the bay went forth, and sought to
go that they might walk to and fro through
the earth: and he said, Get you hence,
walk to and fro through the earth. So they
walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Then cried he upon me, and spoke to
me, saying, Behold, these that go toward
the north country have quieted my Ruach
(Spirit) in the north country.2
9 And the word of hwhy came to me,
saying,

Heldai, of Tobi’yah, and of Yeda’yah
(Jedaiah), which are come from Babylon,
and come you the same day, and go into

into the new so now we have radical Muslims
trying to establish Islam same as the first. The

crowns, and set them upon the head of
Yahushua (Joshua) the son of

Priest);

speaks hwhy of hosts, saying, Behold the
man whose name is The BRANCH; and
he shall grow up out of his place, and he
shall build the Temple of hwhy:3
13 Even he shall build the Temple of
hwhy; and he shall bear the glory, and
shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he
shall be a Kohen (Priest)4 upon his
throne: and the counsel of shalom
(peace) shall be between them both.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem,
and to Tobi’yah, and to Yeda’yah
(Jedaiah), and to Hen the son of
Tsephan’yah, for a memorial in the
temple of hwhy.
15 And they that are far off5 shall come
and build in the Temple of hwhy, and you
shall know that hwhy of hosts has sent
me to you. And this shall come to pass, if
you will diligently obey the voice of hwhy
your Elohim.

anyone should not try to build this now while it’s
not yet time but preparations can be made and
there is nothing wrong with that.
4He carries both priesthoods the one of
Melechzedek and the High Priest.
5 The expression ‘far off’ is idiomatic for the
Northern House of Israel known as Ephraim. They
will come and help in the construction of the 3rd
Temple but since there is the issue of uncleanness
that would have been dealt with in the millennium
so the Ephramites are not unclean and also Torah
obedient.

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year
of king Dareyawesh (Darius), that the
word of hwhy came to Zechar’yah in the

Kislew;

Elohim Sheretzer1 and Regem-melech,

which were in the house of hwhy of

2 The Jewish people keep the fast in the month of
Av for the destruction of the Temple and the many
other calamities that fell on the Jewish people
during Av. The destruction of the first and second
Temple, the sin of the spies that Moses sent out,
the death of Aaron the High Priest and the Jewish
people were expelled from Israel and not allowed
to return until another four hundred years.
3 Tish B’AV (9th of AV) has been the timeframe
when the enemy attacks. The following happened
on 9 AV since 70 CE.: This day falls in July or
August of our Gregorian calendar.
a) The return of the 12 spies sent by Moses into
Israel ten of which bought an evil report.
b) .Both Temples destroyed on the same date.
c) The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE.
d) Bar Kochba Rebellion defeated (135CE).

and compassions every man to his
brother:
10 And oppress not the widow, nor the
fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor;
and let none of you imagine evil against
his brother in your heart.5
11 But they refused to listen, and pulled
away the shoulder, and stopped their
ears that they should not hear.
12 Yes, they made their hearts as an
adamant stone, lest they should hear the
Torah and the words which hwhy of

Germany declared war on Russia.

deportation began of Jews from the Warsaw

(m) On the day after Tisha B'Av in 2005, Israel
began the expulsion of Gush Katif residents in the
Gaza Strip. The expulsion was pushed back by a

wrath from hwhy of hosts.
13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as
he cried, and they would not hear; so
they cried, and I would not hear, says
hwhy of hosts:
14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind
among all the nations whom they knew
not. Thus the land was desolate after
them that no man passed through nor
returned: for they laid the pleasant land
desolate.
Chapter 8
1 Again the word of hwhy of hosts
came to me, saying,
2 Thus says hwhy of hosts; I was
jealous for Tsiyon with great jealousy,
and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3 Thus says hwhy; I have returned to
Tsiyon, and will dwell in the midst of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): and
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) shall be called
a city of truth; and the mountain of hwhy
of hosts the Set-Apart mountain.
4 Thus says hwhy of hosts; There shall
yet old men and old women dwell in the
streets of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and
every man with his staff in his hand
because of great age.
5 And the streets of the city shall be full
of boys and girls playing in the streets
thereof.

be marvellous in my eyes? Says hwhy of
hosts.

people, and I will be their Elohim, in truth
and in righteousness.
9 Thus says hwhy of hosts; Let your
hands be strong, you that hear in these
days these words by the mouth of the
prophets, which were in the day that the
foundation of the house of hwhy of hosts
was laid, that the Temple might be built.
10 For before these days there was no
hire for man, nor any hire for beast;
neither was there any shalom (peace) to
him that went out or came in because of
the affliction: for I set all men every one
against his neighbour.
11 But now I will not be to the remnant
of this people as in the former days, says
hwhy of hosts.
12 For the seed shall be prosperous;
the vine shall give her fruit, and the
ground shall give her increase, and the
heavens shall give their dew; and I will
cause the remnant of this people to
possess all these things.
13 And it shall come to pass, that as
you were a curse among the nations, O
house of Yahudah (Judah), and house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); so will I save you, and
you shall be a blessing: fear not, but let
your hands be strong.2
14 For thus says hwhy of hosts; As I
thought to punish you, when your ahvot
(fathers) provoked me to wrath, says
hwhy of hosts, and I did not relent:
15 So again have I thought in these
days to do well to Yerushalayim

your hearts against his neighbour; and
love no false oaths: for all these are

to me, saying,

gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore
love the truth and shalom (peace).

come to pass, that there shall come
people, and the inhabitants of many
cities:

go to another, saying, Let us go speedily
to pray before hwhy, and to seek hwhy

We are also told that Turkic nations will form part
of the attack on Israel. In Zechariah 9:13 we are
told in no uncertain terms that the battle is with
the Grecians. In Hebrew the word is Yavan, Turkic,
not modern Greece. Daniel gives it away by saying
the Anti-Messiah comes out of the historical
divisions, and the “little horn” is from the Seleucid
kingdom, or the quarter north of Israel, the same
place that Antiochus Epiphanes came from. See
Daniel 8:9. The Macmillan Bible Atlas, Oxford Bible
Atlas, The Moody Atlas of Bible Lands, and others,

fire may devour your cedars.2
2 Howl, you cypress etz (tree); for the
cedar is fallen; because the mighty are
spoiled: howl, O you oaks of Bashan; for
the impenetrable forest has come down.
3 There is a voice of the howling of the
shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a
voice of the roaring of young lions; for the
pride of Yardan (Jordan) is spoiled.
4 Thus says hwhy my Elohim; Feed the
flock of the slaughter;
5 Whose possessors slay them, and
hold themselves not guilty: and they that
sell them say, Blessed be hwhy; for I am

not.

every one the flesh of another.
10 And I took my staff, even
Pleasantness, and cut it asunder, that I
might break my covenant which I had
made with all the people.
11 And it was broken in that day: and so
the poor of the flock that waited upon me
knew that it was the word of hwhy.
12 And I said to them, If you think well,
give me my price; and if not, forbear. So
they weighed for my price thirty pieces of
silver.

potter: a goodly price that I was prized at
of them. And I took the thirty pieces of
silver, and cast them to the potter in the
house of hwhy.5
14 Then I cut asunder my other staff,
even Unity, that I might break the
brotherhood between Yahudah (Judah)

yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in

be cut off, neither shall seek the young
one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed
that that stands still: but he shall eat the
flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in

This verse and others like it also destroys the
credibility of the ones who propagate the alleged
“one-world government” theory, which is why they
will never mention Zechariah 12:2. It makes it
abundantly clear that “ALL” the surrounding
nations are ALL Islamic nations/heathens when
THEY (the Muslims) lay the SIEGE against
Jerusalem. Is it not incredible that people do not
pay attention to this text, even though it spells it
out for us? In this book I have explained the
meaning of the term “all” in order to get rid of the
confusion. All does not mean the “whole world,” as
explained earlier. It needs to be qualified and we
can see that Zechariah 12:2 does qualify this ALL
for us, as it is ALL the ‘surrounding nations’.
Qualified with Zechariah 14:4, Joel 3:12 and
Ezekiel 38:2.

is quite interesting, it actually gives a clear hint of
YHWH revealing Himself openly to Judah,

Islamic nations will go up to Jerusalem that is
where Judah predominantly is situated and the
radicals will succeed in invading and taking half of
Jerusalem the eastern end but will not succeed in
capturing the whole of Jerusalem nor Israel but
will taste a fitting defeat by the King of glory. This
is the event that will lead to the return of the
Messiah and not worldwide evangelism. See

This verse contains the Alef and Tav which are
not translated in the Hebrew text, pointing to both
the Father in heaven and Yahushua His Son. This

revealed to the House of Judah as Yahushua and
not as Jesus of the Western churches which they
consider to be a lawless Messiah.
4 It is quite common in the Hebrew Scriptures to
do a first person to a third person switch such as
in Jude 13:16. This is no other but the Messiah
who was thrust through and killed. Note the spikes
were thrust through Him to hang Him on the tree.
Now is the time for Judah to recognize the
Messiah. The majority of Judah is not meant to
recognize the Messiah and will not do so until this
time which is the time of the Messianic age.

5 Four people are mentioned in this prophecy, King
four singled out? This is how it may work out,
David was a king so is a representative of the
leadership role. A king cannot be without prophets
to guide his kingdom nor the priest of the Most
High so we have Nathan the prophet from King
David’s time Second Samuel 12:1-15 and we also
have the everlasting priesthood of Lewi with his
sons such as Shim’i the son of Gershon technically
the son of Lewi as Lewi is the grandfather. This
prophecy shows us the three major offices of king,
prophet and priest. All three are also fulfilled in the
Messiah Yahushua, King, priest and prophet.
In the messianic reign these offices are about to
play a major part such as King David will be co-
king under Messiah, he will also have prophets and
the priesthood of Lewi will be fully functional. This
shows us the ending of the curse upon Jerusalem
and judgment which has already been achieved by
the Messiah but yet to be enacted.

3 Unfortunately many Christians not
knowledgeable in Hebrew make the mistake of
taking a verse out of context and this is one such
scenario. This verse does not talk about the
Christian Jesus or Hebrew Messiah. This kind of
underhanded scholarship is quite common in
Christendom. If Christian scholars want to insist
that this is about Jesus then so be it and therefore
by their own admission he is a false prophet and
not the Messiah of Israel. This verse is talking
about all the false unclean prophets that would be
thrown out of Jerusalem and killed or wounded for
their sins. This is also one such person. Read the
full story from Zec 1:1-6. Do not make the mistake
of tearing a verse out of context.

threatened to put them to death if they spoke a
word more. Immediately the earth trembled, and
the roof of the temple opened, through which a
beam of the sun darted full upon the face of the
king, who from that instant became a leper. This
prodigy was followed by another: near a certain
place before the city, named Eroge, the one half of
a mountain that looked westward was torn from
the other half, and rolled for the space of four
furlongs, till it stopped to the eastward of it, by
which means the road was blocked up, and the
king's gardens covered with rubbish."

1 From the Aramaic, this shows us the seven
subordinate Spirits of YHWH, which are also
mentioned in Proverbs 9:3. All seven spirits were
trying to bring the Son Yahushua in the world. The
Father in heaven is the original patriarch and that
is why we see this pattern in the world also ending
at the end of days in Isaiah 4:1 which shows seven
wives to one man.
2 The same principle applies to the Father in
heaven who brought forth a righteous ‘seed’
Yahushua.
3 No serial monogamy divorce situation. Israel was
always allowed plural marriage so why divorce the
wife then run after another when one could with
the kadosh covenant marry another wife and
support the first as did our forefathers who YHWH
loved.
4 YHWH hates people who divorce and nullify their
marriage covenant which is for life, the same
applies to women who also divorce their husbands
who are grafted into Israel. The sin will have to be
answered for.
5 This is Christendom’s model of 70% of divorce
rate and still saying He loves us. They have no
care or concern of divorcing their spouses, while
YHWH hates it because it destroys families and
ruins children.

commandment to give at 3 appointed feasts-
Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot (Deut 16: 16). Many
Christians do not tithe because they are not taught
therefore they do not reap the blessings either.
This accusation of YHWH is not to the lay people
but to the Priests such as Pastors today who are
not tithing themselves and not teaching others to
do so.
4 The leaders and teachers have robbed YHWH by
taking the tithes and pocketing the money but not
used it on right-ruling, for widows, orphans to
further YHWH’s set-apart work. Most of these
leaders are driving in $100,000 cars and five
million dollar planes and living for their own
luxuries deceiving the common people.

between him that serves Elohim and him
that serves him not.6

Tehillim (Psalms)
‫תהלימ‬
For the nation of Yah’sar’el (Israel)1
Psalm 1
1 Happy2 is the man that does not walk
in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands
in the halacha (way) of sinners, nor sits in
the seat of the scornful.3
2 But his delight is in the Torah of
hwhy; and in his Torah does he meditate
day and night.
3 And he shall be like an etz (tree)
planted by the rivers of mayim (water),
that brings forth his fruit in its season; and
whose leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he does shall prosper.
4 The wicked are not so: but are like the
chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand
in the judgment, nor sinners in the
congregation of the righteous.
6 For hwhy knows the halacha (way) of
the righteous: but the halacha (way) of
the wicked shall perish.
1 The book of Tehillim is divided into 5 books
corresponding to the 5 books of the Torah:
Genesis About Man 1 - 41
Exodus Deliverance 42 - 72
Leviticus Sanctuary 73 - 89
Numbers Unrest; Wandering 90 - 106
Deuteronomy Word of YHWH 107 -154
2 The Hebrew word Asher H835 more accurately
means happy. Having the Elohim of Israel as your
head will make you happy and happiness will bring
good health and blessings will follow from being
obedient to Torah.
3 He is happy because the Torah will bring him
blessings and honour but sitting between scoffers
will only bring dishonour and shame.

Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations rage, and the
people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against hwhy, and against his anointed,4
saying,
3 Let us break their bonds5 asunder,
and cast away their ropes from us.
4 He that sits in the heavens shall
laugh: the Master shall have them in
derision.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his
anger, and terrify them in his sore
displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my Set-
Apart Mountain of Tsiyon.
7 I will declare the decree: hwhy has
said to me, You are my Son; this day
have I brought you forth.6
8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the
nations for your inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for your
possession.
4 The word here is Masheku for the King that
Abbah Father has installed in Jerusalem. The
immediate prophecy was to King David but the
later was to His eternal Son that we know is
Messiah Yahushua. The word masheku can be
used for just an ordinary human king like King
David, usually the pointing in the Hebrew helps us
to know if it is mashiach or masheku, one is the
anointed and the other both anointed and
anointer. The Messiah Yahushua is both anointed
and anointer.
5 Ps 2:3 let us break their bonds. The word
'bonds' here is the Hebrew word musar. This
word means instructions, traditions, and
corrections, i.e. something handed down. Cast
away their ropes (The Hebrew word for ropes is
aboth, which is cognate word of ahvot which
means fathers. When we see in context Psalm 2:1-
2, we see that these Kings of earth (nations) are
against YHWH and want to break the traditions
(Law) of YHWH by disobeying it. (Deut 32: 7)
6 Abbah YHWH brought forth His Son from His
bosom John 1:18.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
9 You shall break them with a rod of
iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a
potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O you kings:
be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve hwhy with fear, and with
trembling bow down in homage.
12 Kiss the Son,1 lest he be angry, and
you perish from the way, when his wrath
is kindled but a little. How happy are all
they that put their trust in him.
Psalm 3
A Psalm of Dawud (David), when he fled
from Abshalom his son.
1 hwhy, how are they increased that
trouble me! Many are they that rise up
against me.
2 Many there be which say of my soul,
There is no help for him in Elohim.
1 The only other place where the Aramaic word
‘bar’ is used is in Proverbs 31:2 where it is also
translated as son even in the JPS which translates
this here as 'purity' but does an about turn in Prov
31:2 and translates that as son. We believe the
word here which is the Aramaic ‘bar’ is accurately
depicted as the 'Son' and this applies to both the
anointer and anointed Messiah established by
Abba YHWH. Scholars such as David Kimchi (13th
c.), Isaac Leeser (19th c.) and Ibn Ezra from the
12th century all agreed that this was to be
translated as the term Son and not purity as the
JPS Bible does. Is it any wonder that the Father
knew that the returnees from Babylon would speak
fluent Aramaic and many would not be speaking
Hebrew, any wonder why this is bar since the
Jewish people themselves say ‘bar’ mitzvah and
not ben mitzvah the argument falls apart since the
Aramaic and Hebrew are sister languages. This is
indeed the Messiah Yahushua who many Christians
know as Jesus but they forget that He preached
Torah and asked us to obey His word and He did
not lead us astray to another false elohim but led
us right back to Abbah YHWH another false
argument against miracles of Yahushua.

persecute me, and deliver me:

rending it in pieces, while there is none to
deliver.

this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

at shalom (peace) with me; or if I have
plundered my enemy without cause:

take it; yes, let him tread down my life
upon the earth, and lay my honour in the
dust. Selah.

his sword; he has bent his bow, and
made it ready.

instruments of death; he appoints his
arrows against the persecutors.

and fraud: under his tongue is mischief
and vanity.

in the hidden places he murders the
innocent victim: his eyes are set against
unsuspecting victims.
9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his
den: he lies in wait to catch the
oppressed: he does catch the oppressed,
when he draws him into his net.

helpless may fall by his strong ones.

wind of rage: this shall be the portion of

Spirit, another face of YHWH is the Son Yahushua,

vindicated me.

hwhy brings back the captivity of his
people, Ya’acob (Jacob) shall rejoice,
and Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall be glad.
2 Many Greek philosophers and scholars, such as
Miletus in 700 BC said that the universe was
created by waters; Anex Mender in 650 BC said
that the world was made by Molecule atom;
Harculateus said that the world was made by fire
and Anex Mines said the world was made by air
and others say that the universe is in existence
because of engineering and was created by
numbers. And they have prestigious names in
universities but wisdom of world is foolishness
unto YHWH. (First Cor 3:19-20; Rom 1:19-20), But
the word declares Elohim created the heavens and
the earth by the word of his mouth (Ps 33: 6).

Psalm 15
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 hwhy, who shall abide in your
tabernacle? Who shall dwell in your Set-
Apart Mountain?1
2 He that walks uprightly, and works
righteousness, and speaks the truth in his
heart.2
3 He that does not slander with his
tongue, nor does evil to his neighbour,
nor takes up a reproach against his
friend.3
4 In whose eyes a vile person is
despised; but he honours them that fear
hwhy. He that swears to his own hurt,
and changes not.
1
Who will dwell or reside in YHWH’s holy
Temple in Jerusalem this is about the 3rd Temple
and the future millennial reign.
2
The only way to walk uprightly is to obey and
guard the Torah commandments and to avoid sin.
Have you obeyed the Torah and told the truth or
call it only for the Jews not for me?
3 He that does not slander? Stop check. So if you
have gone around the houses slandering those
who were trying to live with their two wives in a
Torah fashion you are going to be thrown out of
the kingdom. Go and read Psalm 15:1 again.
It maybe that the person you slandered did not
have two wives but you slandered him anyway, be
prepared to be ousted, the Messiah’s blood will not
save you on the Day of wrath.
Now your only recourse before you die is to go to
that person you slandered and apologise and then
ask forgiveness from YHWH then you will surely be
allowed to dwell in His house. It does not matter if
you are President of the US or Chancellor of the
exchequer you slander a torah believer on
polygamy then you are already seen as expelled
from the kingdom.

Psalm 16
Michtam of Dawud (David).
1 Preserve me, O El: for in you do I put
my trust.
2 O my soul, you have said to hwhy,
You are my Master: beside you no good
will come to me;
3 But to the Israelite kedoshim (saints)
that are in the earth, and to the excellent,
in who is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that
speak the names of other elohim: their
drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor
take up these false names into my lips.4
5 hwhy is the portion of my inheritance
and of my cup: you maintain my lot.
6 The lines are fallen to me in pleasant
places; yes, I have indeed a good
inheritance.
7 I will bless hwhy, who has given me
counsel: my kidneys also instruct me in
the night seasons.
8 I have set hwhy always before me:
because he is at my right hand, I shall not
be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in
hope.
10 For you will not leave my soul in
She’ol; neither will you suffer your Set-
Apart One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life: in
your presence is fullness of joy; at your
right hand there are pleasures
4 Those that take any other name other than the
Elohim of Israel live under sorrow and curses,
while King David makes it plain that he will not use
those foolish names. One such foolish name that
the Christians need to drop from their vocabulary
is Allah because He is not the Elohim of Israel.

Psalm 17
A Prayer of Dawud (David).
1 Hear the right, O hwhy, attend to my
cry, give ear to my prayer, from lips
without deceit.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your
presence; let your eyes behold the things
that are equal.
3 You have tried my heart; you have
visited me in the night; you have tried me,
and shall find nothing; I have determined
that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the
word of your lips I have guarded my
paths of the destroyer.
5 Hold up my goings in your paths, that
my foot does not slip.
6 I have called upon you, for you will
hear me, O El: incline your ear to me, and
hear my speech.
7 Show your marvellous loving-
kindness, O you that delivered by your
right hand those which put their trust in
you from them that rise up against them.
8 Guard me as the pupil of your eye;
hide me under the shadow of your
wings,1
9 From the wicked that oppresses me,
from my deadly enemies, who surround
me.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat:
with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 They have now surrounded us in our
steps: they have set their eyes bowing
down to the earth;
12 Like a lion that is ready to tear his
prey, and as it were a young lion
crouching in a secret place.
1 David longed to be in the shadow of the wings of
cherubim on Ark of the Covenant where the
presence of YHWH dwelt. Here wings can also be
in reference to Tallit/prayer shawl (YHWH covers
us in his own Tallit/wings).

13 Arise, O hwhy, disappoint him, cast
him down: deliver my soul from the
wicked, which is your sword:
14 From men which are at your hand, O
hwhy, from men of the world, which have
their portion in this life, and whose bellies
you fill with the treasure of this world:
they have many children, and leave the
wealth to their children.
15 As for me, I will behold your face in
righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I
awake, with your likeness.2
Psalm 18
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David), the servant of hwhy, who spoke
to hwhy the words of this song in the day
that hwhy delivered him from the hand of
all his enemies, and from the hand of
Sha’ul: And he said,
1 I will love you, O hwhy, my strength.
2 hwhy is my rock, and my fortress, and
my deliverer; my El is my rock, in whom I
will trust? My protector, and with the
power to deliver,3 and my high tower.
3 I will call upon hwhy, who is worthy to
be praised: so shall I be delivered from
my enemies.
4 The sorrows of death surrounded me,
and the floods of wicked men made me
afraid.
5 The sorrows of She’ol surrounded me
about: the snares of death were all
around me.

and cried to my Elohim: he heard my

voice out of his Temple,1 and my cry
came before him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled;
the foundations also of the hills moved
and were shaken, because he was angry.
8 There went up a smoke out of his
nostrils, and fire out of his mouth
devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the shamayim (heavens)
also, and came down: and darkness was
under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did
fly: yes, he did glide upon the wings of
the wind.2
11 He made darkness3 his secret place;
his pavilions round about him were dark
waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before
him his thick clouds passed, hail stones
and coals of fire.
13 hwhy also thundered in the
shamayim (heavens), and the Highest
gave his voice; hail stones and coals of
fire.4
14 Yes, he sent out his arrows, and
scattered them; and he shot out lightning
bolts, and routed them.
15 Then the channels of waters were
seen, and the foundations of the world
were discovered at your rebuke, O hwhy,
at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he
drew me out of many waters.
1 The original Temple in heaven.
2 YHWH rides on heavenly chariots (merkaba) on
the wings of cheruvim to deliver His anointed
ones.
3 He made darkness his secret place (Why
darkness because YHWH dwells in invisible light
where no man can enter, First Tim 6:16).
4 When YHWH came on Mount Sinai; it was
covered with smoke because he descended on it in
fire; it was just like smoke from the furnace. (Exo
19:18)
971
17 He delivered me from my strong
enemy, and from them which hated me:
for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my
calamity: but hwhy was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large
place;5 he delivered me, because he
delighted in me.
20 hwhy rewarded me according to my
righteousness; because my hands are
pure so he repays me.
21 For I have kept the ways of hwhy,
and have not wickedly departed from my
Elohim.
22 For all his judgments were before
me, and I did not put away his statutes
from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I
kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Therefore has hwhy recompensed
me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands
in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful you will show
yourself merciful; with an upright man you
will show yourself upright;
26 With the pure you will show yourself
pure; and with the crooked you will show
yourself twisted.
27 For you will save the afflicted people;
but will bring down proud looks.
28 For you will light my candle: hwhy
my Elohim will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by you I have charged through
an army; and by my Elohim I have leaped
over a wall.
30 The El, his way is perfect: the word
of hwhy is tried: he is a protector to all
those that trust in him.
31 For who is Elohim save hwhy? Or
who is a rock save our Elohim?
32 It is El that girds me with strength,
and makes my way perfect.

and sets me upon my high places.

a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
35 You have also given me the shield of
your deliverance: and your right hand has
held me up, and your gentleness has
made me great.
36 You have enlarged my steps under
me that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued my enemies, and
overtaken them: neither did I turn again
till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were
not able to rise: they are fallen under my
feet.
39 For you have girded me with
strength to the battle: you have subdued
under me those that rose up against me.
40 You have also given me the necks of
my enemies; that I might destroy them
that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to
deliver them: even to hwhy, but he
answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the
dust before the wind: I did cast them out
as the dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the
strivings of the people; and you have
made me the head of the nations: a
people whom I have not known shall
serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they
shall obey me: the strangers shall submit
themselves to me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and
be afraid out of their close places.
46 hwhy lives; and blessed be my rock;
and let the Elohim of my deliverance be
exalted.
47 The El that avenges me, and
subdues the people under me.
48 He delivers me from my enemies:
yes, you lift me up above those that rise
up against me: you have delivered me
from the man of violence.

49 Therefore will I give thanks to you, O
hwhy, among the nations, and sing
praises to your name.

Psalm 19
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David).
1 The shamayim (heavens) declare the
glory of El; and the firmament shows his
handiwork.1
2 Day to day utters speech, and night to
night shows knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.2
4 Their line is gone out through all the
earth and their words to the end of the
world. In them has he set a tabernacle for
the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out
of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong
man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the
shamayim (heavens), and his circuit to
the ends of it: and there is nothing hid
from the heat thereof.
7 The Torah of hwhy is perfect,
1 Heavens indeed declare the glory of Elohim, as it
was by the heavenly bodies that Elohim taught
Ahdahm, Seth, Noach etc the appointed times and
seasons (Gen 1:14). Moreover, the gospel story is
found hidden in the 12 major constellations
(zodiac/matzorot) from Virgo the virgin to Leo the
lion; which was corrupted by Ha Satan. For
example: In the circuit of constellations Leo the
lion (which was the banner/emblem of Judah) has
Scorpio under its feet, treading on it; showing us
the picture of Yahushua the lion of Judah
triumphing upon the serpent. (The word zodiac is
phonetically traced to the Hebrew word tzadak,
commonly translated as 'righteous' or 'just').

from deliverance, and from the words of

you hear not; and in the night season,
and am not silent.
3 But you are Set-Apart, O you that
inhabits the praises of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
4 Our ahvot (fathers) trusted in you:
they trusted, and you did deliver them.
5 They cried to you, and were delivered:
they trusted in you, and were not
confounded.

reproach of men, and despised of the
people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to

scorn: they shoot out the lip; they shake
the head, saying,
8 He trusted on hwhy that he would
deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he
delighted in him.2
9 But you are he that took me out of the
womb: you did make me hope when I
nursed upon my mother's breasts.
10 I was cast upon you from the womb:
you are my El from my mother's belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is
near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have surrounded me:
strong bulls of Bashan have beset me
round.3
13 They gaped upon me with their
mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like mayim (water),
and all my bones are out of joint: my
heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst
of my inward parts.
15 My strength is dried up like a
potsherd;4 and my tongue cleaves to my
2 The people standing around Yahushua at the
time of the impalement did mock him and say
these words.
3 Bulls of Bashan – There were no animals (bulls)
at the crucifixion site but this is in reference to the
demonic powers of Ha-Satan which were at work
even when Yahushua was on the tree. Bashan is
not near Jerusalem but in the North of Israel in the
Golan Heights area, which is known for its cattle
and bulls. Bashan is where Og king of the giants
Rephaim (Deut 3:11) lived and there were 3000
dolmens (graves) of these giants in that area of
Golan heights.
There was a teaching among Rabbis, 200 years
before Yahushua was born that when giants died
there spirits become demons. And so therefore,
crucifixion was more than a physical (bodily)
torture but Yahushua was also attacked by the
ancient spiritual demons of these giants who were
defeated on the tree (Col 2:15) and Yahushua
triumphed over them, fulfilling Gen 3:15.
4 The Pesikta Rabbati, Piska 36:1-2 affirms that
Psalm 22 was viewed as a messianic prophecy:

jaws; and you have brought me into the
dust of death.
16 For dogs1 have surrounded me: an
assembly of evil-doers has struck me:2
like a lion my hands and my feet are
thrust3 through.4
"(At the time of the Messiah's creation) the Holy
One, blessed be He, will tell Him (Messiah) in
detail what will befall Him: There are souls that
have been put under My throne, and it is their sins
which will bend Thee under a yoke of iron and
make thee like a calf whose eyes grow dim with
suffering... During the seven year period preceding
the coming of the Son of David, iron beams will be
brought and loaded upon His neck until Messiah's
body is bent low... It was the ordeal of the Son of
David that David wept, saying, 'My strength is
dried up like a potsherd.'”
1 Dogs are an idiomatic expression for gentiles.
2 Why does the Holy One of Israel switch from
first ‘attacking hunting dogs’ which are perfect
descriptions of gentile people to a particular “lion?”
The reason is obvious if one can see it. In fact it is
interesting that the description of ‘lions’ in Psalm 7
describe the Israelites and in the Torah the Law of
the Holy One, this was almost always used for the
tribe of Judah and the coming Messiah or even
Israel as a whole. Therefore, we find our
translation consistent here both in Psalm 7 and
Psalm 17 where the word “lion” is mentioned and
most certainly with our orthodox Jewish brothers.
The mention of Israel as a nation described as a
lion in the Torah can be found in Numbers 23:24.
I want to point out for obvious reasons that here
in Psalm 22:16 though the term is particularly to
King Messiah but in affect it shows the picture of
Judah, which is also the picture of the lion
throughout the ages being persecuted by gentiles.
The gentile or nations like a pack of dogs who
hunted them down across the world. Just see the
many pogroms, expulsions, beatings and finally
the holocaust. Can anyone truly deny the horror of
these things and what the world did?
3 which is the habitation of the demonic world and
Ancient Hebrew meaning Ka’aru: To lead into the
house by the staff of the king or the Mighty One.
4 If we look at the Jewish Publication Society
translation we find they translate the word ka-ari
as 'like a lion'. However when we examine the
975
17 I count all my bones: they look and
stare upon me.5
18 They part my garments among them,
and cast lots upon my vesture.6
19 But be not you far from me, O hwhy:
O my strength, hurry to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my
only life from the power of the dog.
21 Deliver me from the lion's mouth:
and from the power of the wild ox.7 You
Septuagint or the Aramaic Peshitta text including
the Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1947 we see that
the Hebrew word is not Ka-ari but kaaru with a
spelling difference of the end letter being a Wav
and not a yud. This is critical for our examination
of the ancient Hebrew Wav being an oo sound.
This gives us an interesting take on the word,
which is a lion no doubt (The Lion of Judah) but
also shows us the Wav being the ancient picture of
a hook or tent peg, used here to show a thrusting
with a spike. This illustrates that at least 275 years
before the birth of the Messiah the meaning of ‘to
dig’ was ascribed to the word kaaru when the
Septuagint was first written. Also, in the sod
hidden mystery of the Wav it stands for a man,
meaning it has to be a man to be pierced or at
least someone in human likeness, which Yahushua
was and fulfilled this later by having his hands and
feet thrust through. This is what one of the
foremost scholars on the Dead Sea scrolls had to
say:
"It is clearly a verb, not a noun and means they
have bored or they have dug or they have
pierced." (The Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls,
VanderKam, James & Flint, Peter, pg. 124; cf. also
Flint, Peter W., The Dead Sea Psalm Scrolls and
the Book of Psalms).
5No bones were broken as per scripture of the
Messiah, the same as the Passover lamb.
6 Matthew 27:35-36 sees the fulfillment of this
verse.
7 Wild Ox or Wild bull is drash of the demons,
since Yahushua was about to descend into She’ol
the souls of the unrighteous dead. This is
Yahushua’s humanity speaking not His divinity
since demons had no authority over Him but if we
as humans die we are afraid of death due to the
unseen demonic forces out there.

4 The Hebrew word for “rest” here is translated
“still” waters (Menokhot). It actually is a word
between a husband and a wife of “restive
marriage” and has much more deeper meaning
than what is translated in most Bibles. Menukhot
Y’nha-lenei. The root word is Nakhal. But it
actually has the Hebrew word for Nakhal which is
related to a stream of water or a brook of water.
Why did King David mention a stream and not just
any plain water? The reason is that the Garden of
Eden had a river which split into four heads. He
was really referring to a future prophecy and a
past one. He is showing us many gentiles (Ten
Tribes) shall be saved in future and become
engrafted in Israel. See Isaiah 66:12.

is the living stream and that is where the Psalmist

away from sin and leads me to walk in the cycles
of righteousness (Feasts and the Sabbaths of
YHWH) for the sake of His Name (YHWH).

9 It is believed that this was penned at the time
when King David was running away from his son
Abshalom, who wanted to kill him and going
through the valley of Kidron (which is described as
a valley of the shadow of death), ascending to the
Mount of Olives to plant the Rod from the Almond
tree that was passed down through Ahdahm,
Yosef, Moses and Ahron. The Rod here is the Rod

presence of my enemies: you anoint my
head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and grace shall
follow me all the days of my life: and I will
dwell1 in the house of hwhy forever.
Psalm 24
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 The earth is hwhy's, and the fullness
of it; the world, and they that dwell
therein.2
2 For he has founded it upon the seas,
and established it upon the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the Mountain of
hwhy? Or who shall stand in his Set-
Apart place?
4 He that has clean hands, and a pure
heart; who has not lifted up his soul to
vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from
hwhy, and righteousness from the Elohim
of his deliverance.
6 This is the generation of them that
seek him that seek your face, O Ya’acob
(Jacob). Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; and
be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and
the King of glory3 shall come in.

planted on the Mount of Olives and it became the
Tree of Almonds where Yahushua was impaled.
There is no mention of this rod after this episode.
1 Mercy only follows those who follow YHWH, in
other words He may be merciful to you but for Him
to continuously act His kindness you need to show
obedience. His dwelling (Yashab) is showing
repentant heart which allows Him to dwell in
YHWH’s house.

belongs to YHWH and not to Satan as erroneously

Psalm 25
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 To you, O hwhy, do I lift up my soul.
2 O my Elohim, I trust in you: let me not
be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph
over me.
3 Yes, let none that wait on you be
ashamed: let them be ashamed which
transgress without cause.
4 Show me your ways, O hwhy; teach
me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth, and teach me:
for you are the Elohim of my deliverance
(Yahshuah: Deliverance); on you do I
wait all the day.
6 Remember, O hwhy, your tender
mercies and your loving kindnesses; for
they are from everlasting.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth,
nor my transgressions: according to your
mercy remember you me for your
goodness' sake, O hwhy.
8 Good and upright is hwhy: therefore
will he teach sinners in the way.
9 The meek ones will he guide in right-
ruling: and the meek ones will he teach
his way.
10 All the paths of hwhy are mercy and
truth to such as keep his covenant and
his testimonies.4
11 For your name's sake, O hwhy,
pardon my iniquity; for it is great.
12 What man is he that fears hwhy? He
shall teach him in the way that he shall
choose.
13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his

and obeying Torah.

14 The secret1 of hwhy is with them
that fear him; and he will show them his
covenant.
15 My eyes are ever toward hwhy; for
he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Return to me, and have mercy upon
me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are
enlarged: O bring me out of my
distresses.
18 Look upon my affliction and my pain;
and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies; for they are
many; and they hate me with cruel
hatred.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let
me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in
you.
21 Let integrity and uprightness
preserve me; for I wait on you.
22 Ransom Yah’sar’el (Israel), O
Elohim, out of all his troubles.
Psalm 26
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 Judge me, O hwhy; for I have walked
in my integrity: I have trusted also in
hwhy; therefore I shall not slide.
2 Examine me, O hwhy, and prove me;
try my kidneys and my heart.
3 For your loving-kindness is before my
eyes: and I have walked in your truth.2
4 I have not sat with men of falsehood;
neither will I go in with men of pretense.
5 I have hated the congregation of evil
doers; and will not sit with the wicked
ones.
6 I will wash my hands in innocence: so
will I surround your altar, O hwhy:
7 That I may proclaim with the voice of
1 The word for secret here is sod which is deepest
and mysterious level of wisdom.

thanksgiving, and tell of all your
wondrous works.
8 hwhy, I have loved the habitation of
your house, and the place where your
honour dwells.
9 Do not gather my soul with sinners,
nor my life with bloody men:
10 In whose hands is mischief, and their
right hand is full of bribes.
11 But as for me, I will walk in my
integrity: ransom3 me, and be merciful to
me.
12 My foot stands in a straight place: in
the congregations will I bless hwhy.
Psalm 27
A Psalm of Dawud (David).4
1 hwhy is my light and my deliverance;
whom shall I fear? hwhy is the strength
of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies
and my foes, came upon me to eat up my
flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though armies should encamp
against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this
will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of hwhy, that
will I seek after; that I may dwell in the
house of hwhy all the days of my life, to
behold the beauty of hwhy, and to
enquire in his Temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide
me in the covering of his tent, in the
secret of his tabernacle5 he shall hide
me; he shall set me up upon an
inaccessible rock.
3 The idea here is for Israel to be Pidya ha ben,
the firstborn son to be ransomed which YHWH did
ransom.
4 This Psalm is read on Rosh Ha Shanah (Jewish
civil New year in September).
5 David pitched a tabernacle where he kept the
Ark of the Covenant (1 Chron 15: 1).
 Tehillim (Psalms)
6 And now shall my head be lifted up
above my enemies round about me:
therefore will I offer in his tabernacle
sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing
praises to hwhy.
7 Hear, O hwhy, when I cry with my
voice: have mercy also upon me, and
answer me.
8 When you said, Seek my face; my
heart said to you, Your face, hwhy, will I
seek.
9 Hide not your face far from me; put
not your servant away in anger: you have
been my help; do not leave me, neither
abandon me, O Elohim of my deliverance
(Yahshuah: Deliverance).
10 When my father and my mother
abandoned me, then hwhy will take me
up.
11 Teach me your way, O hwhy, and
lead me in a plain path, because of my
enemies.
12 Deliver me not over to the will of my
enemies: for false witnesses are risen up
against me, and they breathe out cruelty
to me.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed
to see the goodness of hwhy in the land
of the living.
14 Wait on hwhy: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I
say, on hwhy.
Psalm 28
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 To you will I cry, O hwhy my rock; be
not silent to me: lest, if you be silent to
me, I become like them that go down into
the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications,
when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands
toward your Set-Apart speaking place.
3 Draw me not away with the wicked,
and with the workers of iniquity, which
speak shalom (peace) to their
neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds,
979
and according to the wickedness of their
endeavors: give them after the work of
their hands; render to them their desert.
5 Because they regard not the works of
hwhy, nor the way he works, he shall
destroy them, and not build them up.
6 Blessed be hwhy, because he has
heard the voice of my supplications.
7 hwhy is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusted in him, and I am helped:
therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and
with my song will I praise him.
8 hwhy is their strength, and he is the
saving strength of his anointed.
9 Save your people, and bless your
inheritance: feed them also, and lift them
up forever.
Psalm 29
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 Give to hwhy, O you mighty, give to
hwhy glory and strength.
2 Give to hwhy the glory due to his
name; worship hwhy in the beauty of set-
apartness.
3 The voice of hwhy is upon the waters:
the El of glory thunders: hwhy is upon
many waters.
4 The voice of hwhy is powerful; the
voice of hwhy is full of majesty.
5 The voice of hwhy breaks the cedars;
yes, hwhy breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes them also to skip like a calf;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of hwhy divides the flames
of fire.
8 The voice of hwhy shakes the
wilderness; hwhy shakes the wilderness
of Kadesh.
9 The voice of hwhy makes the deer
give birth, and uncovers the forests: and
in his Temple does every one speak of
his glory.
10 hwhy sits enthroned upon the flood;
yes, hwhy sits as King forever.
11 hwhy will give strength to his people;
hwhy will bless his people with shalom

Psalm 30
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of
the house of Dawud (David).
1 I will extol you, O hwhy; for you have
lifted me up, and have not made my foes
to rejoice over me.
2 O hwhy my Elohim, I cried to you, and
you have healed me.
3 O hwhy, you have brought up my soul
from She’ol: you have kept me alive, that
I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing to hwhy, O you Israelite
kedoshim (saints) of his, and give thanks
at the remembrance of his set-apartness.
5 For his anger endures but a moment;
in his favour is life: weeping may endure
for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall
never be moved.
7 hwhy, by your favour you have made
my mountain to stand strong: you did
hide your face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to you, O hwhy; and to the
hwhy I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when
I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise
you? Shall it declare your truth?
10 Hear, O hwhy, and have mercy upon
me: hwhy, be you my helper.
11 You have turned for me my
mourning into dancing: you have put off
my sackcloth, and girded me with
gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing
praise to you, and not be silent. O hwhy
my Elohim, I will give thanks to you
forever.
Psalm 31
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David).
1 In you, O hwhy, do I put my trust; let
me never be ashamed: deliver me in your
righteousness.
2 Bow down your ear to me; deliver me
980
speedily: be my strong rock, for a house
of defence to save me.
3 For you are my rock and my fortress;
therefore for your name's sake lead me,
and guide me.
4 Pull me out of the net that they have
hid for me: for you are my strength.
5 Into your hand I commit my ruach
(spirit): you have ransomed1 me, O hwhy
El of truth.
6 I have hated them that regard
worthless idols: but I trust in hwhy.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your
mercy: for you have considered my
trouble; you have known my soul in
adversities;
8 And have not shut me up into the
hand of the enemy: you have set my feet
in a large place.2
9 Have mercy upon me, O hwhy, for I
am in trouble: my eye is consumed with
grief, yes, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and
my years with sighing: my strength fails
because of my iniquity, and my bones are
consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all my
enemies, but especially among my
neighbours, and a fear to my
acquaintance: they that did see me
outside fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of
mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of
many: fear was on every side: while they
took counsel together against me, they
devised to take away my life.3

You are my Elohim.
15 My times are in your hand: deliver
me from the hand of my enemies, and
from them that persecute me.
16 Make your face to shine upon your
servant: save me for your mercies' sake.
17 Let me not be ashamed, O hwhy; for
I have called upon you: let the wicked be
ashamed, and let them be silent in the
She’ol.1
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;
which speak grievous things proudly and
contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how great is your goodness,
which you have laid up for them that fear
you; which you have wrought for them
that trust in you before the sons of men!
20 You shall hide them in the secret of
your presence from the pride of man: you
shall shelter them in a sukkah (tent) from
the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be hwhy: for he has showed
me his marvellous kindness in a strong
city.
22 For I said in my haste, I am cut off
from before your eyes: nevertheless you
heard the voice of my supplications when
I cried to you.
23 O love hwhy, all you his Israelite
kedoshim (saints): for hwhy preserves
the faithful, and pays back in full the one
who is prideful.

judgment for this sin and have to answer for it and
lose their rewards as a result of this kind of action.
Jacob tells us in James 1:26 that one who cannot
control his tongue his faith is worthless!
1 There is a special place reserved for slanderers
in the pit of hell, it does not matter what they call

A Psalm of Dawud (David), Maschil.
1 Blessed is he whose transgression is
forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom hwhy
imputes no iniquity, and in whose ruach
(spirit) there is no deceit.
3 When I refused to repent of my sin,
my body wasted away through my
groaning all the day long.2
4 For day and night you tormented me:3
I felt my destruction in the intense heat of
summer. Selah.4
5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and my
iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will
confess my transgressions to the hwhy;
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Selah.5
6 For this shall every one that your
faithful follower will pray to you in a time
when you may be found: surely in the
floods of great waters they shall not come
near to him.
7 You are my hiding place; you shall
preserve me from trouble; you shall
surround me about with songs of
deliverance. Selah.
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the
way which you shall go: I will guide you
with my eye.
2 When a person does not repent of his sin, it will
affect him in his/her daily life and they will feel the
guilt and burden until they repent then will YHWH
forgive them and remove the burden that weighs a
ton.
3 If a righteous man turns to sin then YHWH sends
the evil spirits to torment him we know this from
the Brit Chadasha in Luke 12:48.

this world so the person can seek repentance,
which we see happening in the next verse.

torment stopped!

surround him about.

multitude of an armies: a mighty man is
not delivered by much strength.

within my heart, that there is no fear of
Elohim before his eyes.

worthless idolatry will be found to be
hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity
and deceit: he has ceased to be wise,
and to do good.
4 He devises mischief upon his bed; he
sets himself in a way that is not good; he
does not despise evil.

faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the great
mountains; your judgments are a great
deep: O hwhy, you preserve man and
beast.
7 How excellent is your loving-kindness,
O Elohim! And the sons of men put their
trust under the shadow of your wings.

with the fatness of your house; and you
shall make them drink of the river of your

1 Do not fret because of evildoers,
neither be envious against the workers of
iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like
the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in hwhy, and do good; so shall
you dwell in the land, and verily you shall
be fed.
4 Delight yourself also in the hwhy; and
he shall give you the desires of your
heart.
5 Commit your way to hwhy; trust also
in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth your
righteousness as the light, and judgment
as the noonday.
7 Rest in hwhy, and wait patiently for
him: do not fret because of him who
prospers in his way, because of the man
who brings wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
fret not yourself in any wise do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but
those that wait upon hwhy, they shall
inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked
shall not be: yes, you shall diligently
consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth;
and shall delight themselves in the
abundance of shalom (peace).
12 The wicked plots against the
985
righteous, and gnashes upon him with his
teeth.
13 The Adonai (Master: Lord) shall
laugh at him: for he sees that his day is
coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the
sword, and have bent their bow, to cast
down the poor and needy, and to slay
such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own
heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man has is
better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be
broken: but hwhy upholds the righteous.
18 hwhy knows the days of the upright:
and their inheritance shall be forever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the
evil time: and in the days of famine they
shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the
enemies of hwhy shall be as the fat of
lambs: they shall consume; into smoke
shall they consume away.1
21 The wicked borrows, and pays not
his debt: but the righteous shows mercy,
and gives.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall
inherit the earth; and they that be cursed
of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are
ordered by hwhy: and he delights in his
way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly
cast down: for hwhy upholds him with his
hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old;
but I have not seen the righteous
forsaken, nor his descendants begging
for food.
26 He is ever merciful, and lends; and
his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and
dwell forevermore.
1 Completely annihilated.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
28 For hwhy loves right-ruling, and
forsakes not his Israelite kedoshim
(saints); they are preserved forever: but
the descendants of the wicked shall be
cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
and dwell therein forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks
wisdom, and his tongue talks of right-
ruling.
31 The Torah of his Elohim is in his
heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watches the righteous,
and seeks to slay him.
33 hwhy will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.1
34 Wait on hwhy, and keep his way,
and he shall exalt you to inherit the land:
when the wicked are cut off, you shall see
it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great
power, and spreading himself like a
native green etz (tree).
36 Yet he passed away and lo he was
not: yes, I sought him but he could not be
found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold
the upright: for the end of that man is
shalom (peace).
38 But the transgressors shall be
destroyed together:2 the end of the
wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the deliverance of the righteous
is of hwhy: he is their strength in the time
of trouble.
40 And hwhy shall help them, and
deliver them: he shall deliver them from
the wicked, and save them, because they
trust in him.
1 The Jewish people who are orthodox and Torah
keeping will not be condemned.
2 Destroyed completely. No eternal torture forever.
See footnote Mark 9:48. See Mal 4:1 when all the
wicked will burn up to a stubble, it means nothing
will be left. They will cease to exist.

Psalm 38
A Psalm of Dawud (David), to bring to
remembrance.
1 O hwhy, rebuke me not in your wrath:
neither chasten me in your hot
displeasure.
2 For your arrows have pierced me and
your hand presses me down.
3 There is no soundness in my flesh
because of your anger; neither is there
any rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities are gone over my
head: as a heavy burden they are too
heavy for me.3
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt
because of my foolishness.
6 I am troubled; I am humiliated greatly;
I go mourning all the day long.4
7 For my loins are filled with a burning:5
and there is no soundness in my flesh.
8 I am feeble and greatly crushed: I
groan loudly by reason of the anxiety in
my heart.
9 Master, all my desire is before you;
and my groaning is not hid from you.
10 My heart pants, my strength fails me:
as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone
from me.6
11 My loved ones and my friends stand
away from my wounds;7 and my brothers
stand afar off.
12 They also that seek after my life lay
traps for me: and they that seek my hurt
speak mischievous things, and imagine

4 This sin weighs down upon him before he
repents and is free of the guilt.

constant thought of it.

He became blind because of the stoning.

this Psalm reflects that reality.

deceits all day long.
13 But I, as one deaf, do not hear; and
as a dumb one who does not open his
mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that does not
hear, and incapable of arguing his
defense.
15 For in you, O hwhy, do I hope: you
will hear, O Master my Elohim.
16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise
they should rejoice over me: when my
foot slips, they magnify themselves
against me.
17 For I am ready to stumble, and my
sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare my iniquity; I am
sorry for my sin.
19 But my enemies are alive, and they
are strong: and they that hate me falsely
are many.
20 And those who repay evil for good
are my adversaries; because I follow that
which is good.
21 Forsake me not, O hwhy: O my
Elohim, be not far from me.
22 Make haste to help me, O Master my
deliverance.
Psalm 39
To The Chief Musician, even to
Yeduthun, A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 I said, I will take heed to my ways,
that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep
my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked
is before me.
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my
shalom (peace), even from good; and my
sorrow was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me, while I
was musing the fire burned: then I spoke
with my tongue,
4 hwhy, make me to know my end, and
the measure of my days, what it is; that I
may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, you have made my days as a
handbreadth; and my age is as nothing
before you: verily every man at his best
987
state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walks in life as a
mere shadow: surely they busy
themselves in vain: he heaps up riches,
and knows not who shall gather them.
7 And now, Master, what do I wait for?
My hope is in you.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions:
make me not the reproach of the foolish.
9 I was dumb; I opened not my mouth;
because you did it.
10 Remove your stroke away from me: I
am consumed by the blow of your hand.
11 When you corrected man with
rebukes for iniquity, you make his beauty
to consume away like a moth: surely
every man is vanity. Selah.
12 Hear my prayer, O hwhy, and give
ear to my cry; hold not your shalom
(peace) at my tears: for I am a foreigner
with you, and a sojourner, as all my ahvot
(fathers) were.
13 O spare me, that I may recover
strength, before I go hence, and be no
more.
Psalm 40
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David).
1 I waited patiently for hwhy; and he
inclined to me, and heard my cry.
2 He brought me up also out of a
horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set
my feet upon a rock, and established my
goings.
3 And he has put a new song in my
mouth, even praise to our Elohim: many
shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in
hwhy.
4 Blessed is that man that makes hwhy
his trust, and respects not the proud, nor
such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O hwhy my Elohim, are your
wonderful works which you have done,
and your thoughts which are towards us:
they cannot be reckoned up in order to
you: if I would declare and speak of them,
 Tehillim (Psalms)
they are more than can be numbered.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not
desire;1 but a body you have prepared for
me:2 burnt offering and sin offering have
1
Sacrifice is not the least important. If we
generalize all this says in sacrifice if given with a
bad or evil heart but in actual fact sacrifice was the
only way one could expiate all kinds of sins during
the Day of Atonement so it must be taken in
proper context. Unfortunately modern Judaism
teaches that sacrifice is least important but this is
not true because if it is least important which we
understand a reaction to Yahushua as the Messiah
then why would Elohim required a Day in the year
for all Israel to present themselves. It would make
no sense to have a Day of Atonement!
This is why we as believers can receive our
atonement today through Yahushua otherwise we
would have to go to Jerusalem but we have a big
problem when there is no Temple so the only way
we can be assured of our salvation is through the
sacrifice of Yahushua which has atoned for all our
rebellion. This includes deliberate willful sins. This
can be looked at in the past just like the first goat
which was slaughtered and the scapegoat that was
led outside the camp to carry Israel’s sins away
commanded in Lev 16:21. All transgression
included rebellious ones were expiated back then.
According to the oral Torah intentional sins could
sometimes be turned into unintentional and Elohim
would accept an asam offering for it.
2 The LXX has ‘a body you have prepared.’ Which
matches with Hebrews 10:5 as the author of
Hebrews obviously took the reading from the
Septuagint. The reading in the later masoretic text
is ‘my ears you have opened’. The context of ears
being opened or bored here makes no sense and
also the debate is whether the word here is kaa’ri
or Kaa’ru. We feel that Kaa’ru is more accurate as
it was penned in the Septuagint. It’s possible that
the masorets did this because of either variant
spellings or it was just a knee jerk reaction from
Christianity so they did not want to make this a
Christological passage as the believers of Messiah
saw it. The word Ka’aru is the form of Karah and
Kur to dig, bore and even pierce. The same word
Ka’aru is found in the LXX, Peshitta and five other
Hebrew manuscripts. If we believe that the LXX
was corrupted for a minute by the early believers
which is impossible since they were not scribes
988
you not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume
of the scroll it is written of me,3
8 I delight to do your will, O my Elohim:
yes, your Torah is within my heart.
9 I have preached righteousness in the
great congregation: lo, I have not
refrained my lips, O hwhy, you know.
who had the influence to do such a thing or born
two hundred years earlier and then carefully hide
the evidence. One would have to be extremely
foolish to believe that someone was indeed clever
to also corrupt the Peshitta and the five other
manuscripts that have nothing to do with the early
Nazarenes. If we consider that some of these
scrolls were one hundred years before the birth of
Yahushua. Also please note that some versions of
the Masoretic text also have the word Ka’aru and
not Ka’ari but you may not know this if you do not
know Jewish tradition or if you do not read the
Hebrew letters. There is no doubt this prophecy is
of the Lion of Judah indeed, who is no other but
Yahushua, who was pierced, killed and rose again.
For Hebrews 10:5 please see also footnote in
Exodus 24:10 as the second corroborating witness.
Opening or boring of the ears is an act rooted in
the Torah in Exodus 21:6. In reality unless the
Master of heaven and earth opens our ears to His
Torah we remain dead to sins. Clearly in this
particular psalm King David expresses waiting
patiently, which means his ears were already
opened meaning he was Torah keeping and did
not need to have his ear opened twice. The ears
opening could be for a man who knows no Torah
and then Elohim opens his ears to hear the divine
truth but can one really say King David did not
know divine truth and have to have his ears
opened? When one considers that his father was
one of the prominent Torah judges of his time
then such foolishness simply vanishes.
3 The Torah confirms the coming of Messiah but it
was veiled and many could not see this. This is
why the Messiah said in John 5:39 "You search the
Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal
life; and these are they which testify of Me.” How
can they testify of the king Messiah? This is easy
to understand when you see hidden symbols of the
Messiah throughout the Torah and the rest of the
Jewish bible commonly and inaccurately referred
to as the Old Testament.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
10 I have not hid your righteousness
within my heart; I have declared your
faithfulness and your deliverance: I have
not concealed your loving-kindness and
your truth from the great congregation.
11 Withhold not you your tender
mercies from me, O hwhy: let your
loving-kindness and your truth continually
preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have
surrounded me about: my iniquities have
taken hold upon me, so that I am not able
to look up; they are more than the hairs of
my head: therefore my heart fails me.
13 Be pleased, O hwhy, to deliver me:
O hwhy, make haste to help me.
14 Let them be ashamed and
confounded together that seek after my
soul to destroy it; let them be driven
backward and put to shame that wish me
evil.
15 Let them be desolate for a reward of
their shame that say to me, Aha, aha.
16 Let all those that seek you rejoice
and be glad in you: let such as love your
deliverance say continually, hwhy be
magnified.
17 But I am poor and needy; yet the
Master thinks upon me: you are my help
and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my
Elohim.
Psalm 41
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David).
1 Blessed is he that considers the poor:
hwhy will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 hwhy will preserve him, and keep him
alive; and he shall be blessed upon the
earth: and you will not deliver him to the
will of his enemies.
3 hwhy will strengthen him upon the
bed of languishing: you will make all his
bed in his sickness.
4 I said, hwhy, be merciful to me: heal
my soul; for I have sinned against you.
5 My enemies speak evil of me, When
989
shall he die, and his name perishes?
6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks
vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself;
when he goes abroad, he told it.
7 All that hate me whisper together
against me: against me do they devise
my hurt.
8 An evil disease, say they, cleaves fast
to him: and now that he lies he shall rise
up no more.
9 Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I
trusted, which did eat of my lechem
(bread), has lifted up his heel against
me.1
10 But you, O hwhy, be merciful to me,
and raise me up, that I may repay them.
11 By this I know that you favoured me,
because my enemy does not triumph
over me.
12 And as for me, you uphold me in my
integrity, and set me before your face
forever.
13 Blessed be hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) from everlasting, and to
everlasting. Amein, and Amein.

praise, with a multitude that kept the

5 Why are you depressed, O my soul?
And why are you restless in me? Hope in
Elohim: for I shall yet praise him for the
help of his countenance.
6 O my Elohim, my soul is depressed
within me: therefore will I remember you
from the land of Yardan (Jordan), and
from the heights of Hermon, and mount
Mitzar.
7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of
your waterspouts: all your waves and
your billows are gone over me.
8 Yet hwhy will command his loving-
kindness in the daytime, and in the night
his song shall be with me, and my prayer
to the El of my life.
9 I will say to El my rock, Why have you
forgotten me? Why do I go mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, my
enemies reproach me; while they say
daily to me, Where is your Elohim?
11 Why are you depressed, O my soul?
And why are you restless within me?
Hope in Elohim: for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance, and
my Elohim.
Psalm 43
1 Judge me, O Elohim, and plead my
cause against a wicked nation: O deliver
me from the deceitful and unjust man.

mourning because of the oppression of
the enemy?
3 O send out your light and your truth:
let them lead me; let them bring me to
your Set-Apart mountain, and to your
tabernacles.
4 Then will I go to the altar of Elohim, to
El my exceeding joy: yes, upon the harp
will I praise you, O Elohim my Elohim.

And why are you restless within me?

Psalm 44
To the chief Musician for the sons of
Korah, Maschil.
1 We have heard with our ears, O
Elohim, our ahvot (fathers) have told us,
what work you did in their days, in the
times of old.
2 How you did drive out the nations with
your hand, and planted them; how you
did afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land in
possession by their own sword, neither
did their own arm save them: but your
right hand, and your arm, and the light of
your countenance, because you have a
favour to them.
4 You are my King, O Elohim: command
deliverances for Ya’acob (Jacob).
5 Through you will we push down our
enemies: through your name will we tread
them under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither
shall my sword save me.
7 But you have saved us from our
enemies, and have put them to shame
that hated us.
8 In Elohim we boast all the day long,
and praise your name forever. Selah.
9 But you have cast off, and put us to
shame; and go not forth with our armies.
10 You make us to turn back from the
enemy: and they which hate us spoil for
themselves.
11 You have given us like sheep
appointed for food; and have scattered us
among the nations.
12 You sell your people for nothing, and
do not increase your wealth by their price.
13 You make us a reproach to our
neighbours, a scorn and derision to them
that are round about us.
14 You make us a byword among the
nations, a shaking of the head among the
people.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
15 My confusion is continually before
me, and the shame of my face has
covered me,
16 For the voice of him that reproaches
and blasphemes; by reason of the enemy
and avenger.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we
not forgotten you, neither have we dealt
falsely in your covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither
have our steps declined from your way;
19 Though you have sore broken us in
the place of jackals, and covered us with
the shadow of death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our
Elohim, or stretched out our hands to a
strange el (power);
21 Shall not Elohim search this out? For
he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Yes, for your sake are we killed all
the day long; we are counted as sheep
for the slaughter.
23 Awake, why do you sleep, O
Master? Arise, cast us not off forever.
24 Therefore you hide your face, and
forget our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the
dust: our belly cleaves to the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for
your mercies' sake.

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim,

word: I speak of the things which I have
made touching the king: my tongue is the
pen of a ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the children of
men: favour is poured into your lips:
therefore Elohim has blessed you forever.
3 Gird your sword upon your thigh, O
most mighty, with your glory and your
majesty.
4 And in your majesty ride prosperously
because of truth and meekness and

righteousness; and your right hand shall
teach you terrible things.
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of
the king's enemies; whereby the people
fall under you.
6 Your throne, O Elohim, is forever and
ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a
right sceptre.
7 You love righteousness, and hate
wickedness: therefore Elohim, your
Elohim, has anointed you with the oil of
gladness above your fellows.
8 All your garments smell of myrrh, and
aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory
palaces, whereby they have made you
glad.
9 Kings' daughters were among your
honorable women: upon your right hand
did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider,
and incline your ear; forget also your own
people, and your father's house;
11 So shall the king greatly desire your
beauty: for he is your Master; and
worship you him.
12 And the daughter of Tsor (Tyre) shall
be there with a gift; even the rich among
the people shall seek your favour.
13 The princess is all glorious within:
her brocade is trimmed with gold.
14 She shall be brought to the king in
an embroidered robe: the virgins her
companions that follow her shall be
brought to you.
15 With gladness and rejoicing shall
they be brought: they shall enter into the
king's palace.
16 Instead of your ahvot (fathers) shall
be your children, whom you may make
princes in all the earth.

remembered in all generations: therefore
shall the people praise you forever and
ever.

about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 Consider her defenses, pass through
her fortresses; that you may tell it to the
generation following.
14 For this Elohim is our Elohim forever
and ever: he will be our guide even to
death.
Psalm 49
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the
sons of Korah.
1 Hear this, all you people; pay
attention, all you inhabitants of the world:
2 Both sons of mankind, rich and poor,
together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and
the meditation of my heart shall be of
understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable: I will
expound my riddle upon the lyre.
5 Therefore should I fear in the days of
evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall
surround me?

6 They that trust in their wealth, and
boast themselves in the multitude of their
riches;
7 None of them can by any means
redeem his brother, nor give to Elohim a
ransom for him:
8 For the redemption of their soul is
precious and it ceases forever:
9 That he should still live forever, and
not see corruption.
10 For he sees that wise men die,
likewise the fool and the stupid person
perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their
houses shall continue forever, and their
dwelling places to all generations; they
call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour
abides not: he is like the beasts that
perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their
posterity approves their sayings. Selah.
14 Like sheep they are laid in She’ol;
death shall feed on them; and the upright
shall have dominion over them in the
morning; and their beauty shall consume
in She’ol from their dwelling.
15 But Elohim will redeem my soul from
the power of She’ol: for he shall receive
me. Selah.1
16 Be you not afraid when one is made
rich, when the glory of his house is
increased;
17 For when he dies he shall carry
nothing away: his glory shall not descend
after him.2
18 Though while he lived he blessed his
soul: and men will praise you, when you
1 Abbah YHWH has done that for all of Israel
through His Son Yahushua.
2 All the people descend upon their deaths both
the righteous into paradise and unrighteous into
the portions reserved for them in She’ol. This is
consistent both in the Tanach and Renewed
Covenant writings.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
do well to yourself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his
ahvot (fathers); they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honour, and
understands not, is like the beasts that
perish.
Psalm 50
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 The mighty El, even hwhy, has
spoken, and called the earth from the
rising of the sun to the going down of it.
2 Out of Tsiyon, the perfection of
beauty, Elohim has shined.
3 Our Elohim shall come, and shall not
keep silence: a fire shall devour before
him, and it shall be very tempestuous
surrounding him.
4 He shall call to the shamayim
(heavens) from above, and to the earth,
that he may judge his people.
5 Gather my Israelite kedoshim (saints)
together to me; those that have made a
covenant with me by sacrifice.
6 And the shamayim (heavens) shall
declare his righteousness: for Elohim is
judge himself. Selah.
7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Yah’sar’el (Israel) and I will testify
against you: I am Elohim, even your
Elohim.
8 I will not reprove you for your
sacrifices or your burnt offerings, to have
been continually before me.
9 I will take no bullock out of your
house, nor he goats out of your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 I know all the fowls of the mountains:
and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you:
for the world is mine, and the fullness of
994
it.1
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink
the blood of goats?
14 Offer to Elohim thanksgiving; and
pay your vows to the most High:
15 And call upon me in the day of
trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall
glorify me.
16 But to the wicked Elohim says, What
have you to do to declare my statutes, or
that you should take my covenant in your
mouth?
17 Seeing you hate instruction, and cast
my words behind you.
18 When you saw a thief, then you
consented with him, and have been
partaker with adulterers.
19 You give your mouth to evil, and
your tongue frames deceit.2
20 You sit and speak against your
brother; you slander your own mother's
son.
21 These things have you done, and I
kept silence; you thought that I was
altogether such a one as yourself: but I
will reprove you, and set them in order
before your eyes.
22 Now consider this, you that forget
Elohim, lest I tear you in pieces, and
there be none to deliver.
23 Whoso offers praise glorifies me:
and to him that orders his conversation
aright will I show the deliverance of
Elohim.
Psalm 51
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David), when Nathan the prophet came
to him, after he had gone in to Batsheba
(Bathsheba).
1 Have mercy upon me, O Elohim,
1 The earth belongs to YHWH and not to the
deceiver Satan.
2 Slandering is a big sin in scripture yet many do
this willingly. See our footnote in James 3:8.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
according to your loving-kindness:
according to the multitude of your tender
mercies blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned,
and done this evil in your sight: that you
might be justified when you speak, and
be clear when you judge.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity;
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward
parts: and in the hidden part you shall
make me to know wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop,1 and I shall be
clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter
than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;
that the bones which you have broken
may rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot
out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O
Elohim; and renew a right ruach (spirit)
within me.
11 Cast me not away from your
presence; and take not your Set-Apart
Ruach (Spirit) from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your
deliverance; and uphold me with your
noble Ruach (Spirit).
13 Then will I teach transgressors your
ways; and sinners shall be converted to
you.
14 Deliver me from blood-guilt, O
Elohim, you are Elohim of my
1 Hyssop was used in ritual services prescribed for
cleansing (Lev 14:4), it was also used to apply the
blood of the Lamb to the doorposts just before the
Exodus of Egypt for the Passover. It was also used
to give Yahushua sour vinegar on the tree just
before He died (John 19:29). The Talmud also
prescribes Hyssop for indigestion. It has slightly
bitter and mint taste.

deliverance: and my tongue shall sing
aloud of your righteousness.
15 O Master, open you my lips; and my
mouth shall show forth your praise.
16 For you desire not sacrifice; else
would I give it: you delight not in burnt
offering.
17 The sacrifices of Elohim are a
broken ruach (spirit): a broken and a
contrite heart, O Elohim, you will not
despise.
18 Do good in your good pleasure to
Tsiyon: build you the walls of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
19 Then shall you be pleased with the
sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt
offering and whole burnt offering: then
shall they offer bullocks upon your altar.
Psalm 52
To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm
of Dawud (David), when Doeg the
Edomite came and told Sha’ul, and said
to him, Dawud (David) is come to the
house of Akhimelech.
1 Why do you boast in your mischief, O
mighty man? The goodness of El endures
continually.
2 Your tongue devises mischiefs; like a
sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good; and
lying rather than to speak righteousness.
Selah.
4 You love all devouring words, O you
deceitful tongue.
5 El shall likewise destroy you forever,
he shall take you away, and pluck you out
of your dwelling place, and root you out of
the land of the living. Selah.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear,
and shall laugh at him:
7 Lo, this is the man that did not make
Elohim his strength; but trusted in the
abundance of his riches, and
 Tehillim (Psalms)
strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8 But I am like a green olive etz (tree)1
in the house of Elohim:2 I trust in the
mercy of Elohim forever and ever.
9 I will praise you forever, because you
have done it: and I will wait on your
name; for it is good before your Israelite
kedoshim (saints).
Psalm 53
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath,
Maschil, A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 The fool has said in his heart, There is
no Elohim. They are corrupt, and have
done abominable iniquity: there is none
that does good.
2 Elohim looked down from shamayim
(heaven) upon the children of men, to see
if there were any that did understand, that
did seek Elohim.
3 Every one of them is gone back: they
are altogether become filthy; there is
none that does good, no, not one.3
4 Have the workers of iniquity no
knowledge? Who eat up my people as
they eat lechem (bread): they have not
called upon Elohim.
5 There were they in great fear, where
1 Olive etz is the symbol for the nation of Israel; it
takes 7 years for an olive tree to grow and
produce fruit and 14 years to become fully mature.
(We see this in story of Ya’acob who served his
uncle Laban for 14 years to get his 2 wives)
Olive trees are very robust, drought, disease and
fire-resistant. Just like Israel that has survived for
many millennia Olive trees can survive for
centuries. There are Olive trees in Israel that are
over 2000 years old in the Garden of Gethsemane
and trees in Galil that are over 3000 years old that
still give fruit.
2 Israel is in the House of Elohim, the Temple
while the nations are outside it. They have a need
to enter but before they enter they must remove
their pagan idolatries.
3 Rabbi Paulos repeated this in Romans 3:23.
996
no fear was: for Elohim has scattered the
bones of him that encamps against you:
you have put them to shame, because
Elohim has despised them.
6 Oh that the deliverance of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) were come out of Tsiyon! When
Elohim brings back the captivity of his
people, Ya’acob (Jacob) shall rejoice,
and Yah’sar’el (Israel) shall be glad.
Psalm 54
To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
Maschil, A Psalm of Dawud (David),
when the Ziphims came and said to
Sha’ul, Does not Dawud (David) hide
himself with us?
1 Save me, O Elohim, by your name,
and judge me by your strength.
2 Hear my prayer, O Elohim; give ear to
the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers are risen up against me,
and oppressors seek after my soul: they
have not set Elohim before them. Selah.
4 Behold, Elohim is my helper: the
Master is with them that uphold my soul.
5 He shall reward evil to my enemies:
cut them off in your truth.
6 I will freely sacrifice to you: I will
praise your name, O hwhy; for it is good.
7 For he has delivered me out of all
trouble: and my eye has seen his desire
upon my enemies.
Psalm 55
To the chief Musician on Neginoth,
Maschil, A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 Give ear to my prayer, O Elohim; and
hide not yourself from my supplication.
2 Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in
my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked:
for they cast iniquity upon me, and in
wrath they hate me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me:
and the terrors of death are fallen upon
me.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come
upon me, and horror has overwhelmed
me.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a
dove! For then would I fly away, and be at
rest.
7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and
remain in the wilderness. Selah.
8 I would hasten my escape from the
windy storm and tempest.
9 Destroy, O Master, and divide their
tongues: for I have seen violence and
strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon
the walls thereof: mischief also and
sorrow is in the midst of it.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof:
deceit and guile depart not from her
streets.
12 For it was not an enemy that
reproached me; then I could have borne
it: neither was it he that hated me that did
magnify himself against me; then I would
have hid myself from him:
13 But it was you, a man my equal, my
guide, and my acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and
walked to the house of Elohim in
company.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let
them go down quick into She’ol: for
wickedness is in their dwellings, and
among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon Elohim;
and hwhy shall save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon,
will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall
hear my voice.1
18 He has delivered my soul in shalom
(peace) from the battle that was against
me: for there were many with me.
19 El shall hear, and afflict them, even

saints of the Most High and also times of sacrifice
in the Temple.

he that abides of old. Selah. Because
they have no changes, therefore they fear
not Elohim.
20 He has put forth his hands against
such as be at shalom (peace) with him:
he has broken his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were
smoother than butter, but war was in his
heart: his words were softer than oil, yet
were they drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden upon hwhy, and
he shall sustain you: he shall never allow
the righteous to be shaken.
23 But you, O Elohim, shall bring them
down into the pit of destruction: bloody
and deceitful men shall not live out half
their days;2 but I will trust in you.
Psalm 56
To the chief Musician upon Yonath-elem-
rechokim, Michtam of Dawud (David),
when the Plushtim (Philistines) took him
in Gath.
1 Be merciful to me, O Elohim: for man
would swallow me up; fighting daily he
oppresses me.
2 My enemies would daily swallow me
up: for they be many that fight against
me, O most High.
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in
you.
4 In Elohim I will praise his word, in
Elohim I have put my trust; I will not fear
what can flesh do to me.
5 Every day they twist my words: all
their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They gather themselves together,
they hide themselves, they mark my
steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In your
2 Evil men will die in half their age so if someone
was going to live to be 50 then they would die at
25 or if at 100 then they would die at 50. YHWH

they can pursue.

anger cast down the people, O Elohim.
8 You keep track of my wanderings: put
my tears into your container: are they not
in your scroll?
9 When I cry to you, then shall my
enemies turn back: this I know; for Elohim
is for me.
10 In Elohim will I praise his word: in
hwhy will I praise his word.
11 In Elohim have I put my trust: I will
not be afraid what can man do to me.
12 Your vows are upon me, O Elohim: I
will render praises to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from
death: will you not deliver my feet from
falling, that I may walk before Elohim in
the light of the living?
Psalm 57
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith,
Michtam of Dawud (David), when he fled
from Sha’ul in the cave.
1 Be merciful to me, O Elohim, be
merciful to me: for my soul trusts in you:
yes, in the shadow of your wings1 will I
make my refuge, until these calamities be
past.
2 I will cry to Elohim most high; to El
that performs all things for me.
3 He shall send from shamayim
(heavens), and save me from the
reproach of him that would swallow me
up. Selah. Elohim shall send forth his
mercy and his truth.
4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even
among them that are set on fire, even the
sons of men, whose teeth are spears and
arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

above all the earth.
6 They have prepared a net for my
steps; my soul is discouraged: they have
dug a pit before me, they will fall
themselves into it. Selah.
7 My heart is fixed, O Elohim, my heart
is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, harp and
lyre: I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise you, O Master, among the
people: I will sing to you among the
nations.
10 For your mercy is great to the
shamayim (heavens), and your truth to
the clouds.
11 Be you exalted, O Elohim, above the
shamayim (heavens): let your glory be
above all the earth.
Psalm 58
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith,
Michtam of Dawud (David).
1 Do you indeed speak righteousness,
O congregation? Do you judge uprightly,
O you sons of men?
2 Yes, in heart you work wickedness;
you weigh the violence of your hands in
the earth.
3 The wicked are estranged from the
womb: they go astray as soon as they be
born, speaking lies.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a
serpent: they are like the deaf serpent
that does not hear;
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of
magicians, or to a skilled charmer.
6 Break their teeth, O Elohim, in their
mouth: break out the great teeth of the
young lions, O hwhy.
7 Let them melt away as mayim
(waters) which run continually: when he
bends his bow to shoot his arrows, let
them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melts, let every one
of them pass away: like the untimely birth
of a woman, that they may not see the
 Tehillim (Psalms)
sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,
he shall take them away as with a
whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he
sees the vengeance: he shall wash his
feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Verily there
is a reward for the righteous: verily he is
the Elohim that judges in the earth.
Psalm 59
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith,
Michtam of Dawud (David); when Sha’ul
sent, and they watched the house to kill
him.
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my
Elohim: defend me from them that rise up
against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of
iniquity,1 and save me from bloody men.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the
mighty are gathered against me; not for
my transgression, nor for my sin, O
hwhy.
4 They run and prepare themselves
without my fault: awake to help me, and
behold.
5 You therefore, O hwhy Elohim of
hosts, the Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel),
awake to visit all the nations: be not
merciful to any wicked transgressors.
Selah.
6 They return at evening: they howl like
a dog, and go around the city.
7 Behold, they belch out with their
mouth: swords are in their lips: for who,
does hear?
1 All righteous blood washed Israelites need to
stay away from Torahless people those who shun
the law of God even if they call themselves
Christians we must not have anything to do with
their lawless deeds because Yahushua will tell
them in the future And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye
that work iniquity (Matt 7:23).

8 But you, O hwhy, shall laugh at them;
you shall have all the nations in derision.
9 Because of his strength will I wait
upon you: for Elohim is my defence.
10 The Elohim of my mercy shall
prevent me: Elohim shall let me see my
desire upon my enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget:
scatter them by your power; and bring
them down, O Master our shield.
12 For the sin of their mouth and the
words of their lips let them even be taken
in their pride: and for cursing and lying
which they speak.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume
them, that they may not be: and let them
know that Elohim rules in Ya’acob
(Jacob) to the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And at evening let them return; and
let them make a noise like a dog, and go
around the city.
15 Let them wander up and down for
food, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your power; yes, I
will sing aloud of your mercy in the
morning: for you have been my defence
and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 To you, O my strength, will I sing: for
Elohim is my defence, and the Elohim of
my mercy.

teach; when he strove with Aram-
naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when
Yoab returned, and smote of Edom in the
valley of salt twelve thousand.

have scattered us, you have been
displeased; O return to us again.

mine; Ephraim also is the strength of my

Note Yahudah is the lawgiver in the present
tense so YHWH has sent him as the lawgiver and
therefore he is already saved in YHWH’s hand. He
will enact many decrees which he did. Since YHWH
has established him as the lawgiver it is incumbent
upon people to accept Yahudah as the lawgiver
and not try to forcefully convert him into
Christianity to corrupt the tribal lineage which is
not allowed.

and sealed in YHWH who throws his shoe
according to the law of throwing of shoe for
inheritance (Deut 25:9) which is established in the
Torah that he gives the land back to his people.
Isa 34:6 details how Elohim has a sacrifice in
Bozrah described as the land of Idumea, Southern
Jordan and this includes Saudi Arabia. Because
they wanted to take away YHWH’s inheritance the

and a strong tower from the enemy.

not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set
not your heart upon them.

as I have seen you in the sanctuary.

10 They shall fall by the sword: they
shall be eaten by the jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in Elohim;
every one that swears by him shall glory:
but the mouth of them that speak lies
shall be stopped.
Psalm 64
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David).
1 Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my
prayer: preserve my life from fear of the
enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of
the wicked; from the insurrection of the
workers of iniquity:
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a
sword, and bend their bows to shoot their
arrows, even bitter words:
4 That they may shoot in secret at the
perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him,
and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil
matter: they talk of hiding snares; they
say, Who shall see them?
6 They search out iniquities; they
accomplish a diligent search: both the
inward thought of every one of them, and
the heart, is deep.
7 But Elohim shall shoot at them with an

arrow; suddenly they shall be wounded.
8 So they shall make their own tongue
to fall upon themselves: all that see them
shall flee away.
9 And all men shall fear, and shall
declare the work of Elohim; for they shall
wisely consider of his doing.
10 The righteous shall be glad in hwhy,
and shall trust in him; and all the upright
in heart shall glory.
Psalm 65
To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song
of Dawud (David).
1 Praise waits for you, O Elohim, in
Tsiyon: and to you shall the vow be
performed.
2 O you that hear prayer, to you shall all
flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for
our transgressions, you shall purge them
away.
4 Blessed is the man whom you
choose, and cause to approach to you,
that he may dwell in your courts: we shall
be satisfied with the goodness of your
house, even of your Set-Apart Temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness will
you answer us, O Elohim of our
deliverance; who are the confidence of all
the ends of the earth, and of them that
are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by his strength sets fast the
mountains; being girded with power:
7 Which stills the noise of the seas, the
noise of their waves, and the tumult of the
people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost
parts are afraid at your tokens: you make
the outgoings of the morning and evening
to rejoice.
9 You visit the earth, and water it: you
greatly enrich it with the river of Elohim,
which is full of mayim (water): you
prepare them grain, when you have so
provided for it.
10 You water the ridges abundantly:
1002
you settle the furrows: you make it soft
with showers: you blessed its growth.
11 You crown the year with your
goodness; and your paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the
wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on
every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks;
the valleys also are covered over with
grain; they shout for joy, they also sing.
Psalm 66
To the chief Musician, A Song or Psalm.
1 Make a joyful noise to Elohim, all you
lands:
2 Sing forth the honour of his name:
make his praise glorious.
3 Say to Elohim, How terrible are you in
your works! Through the greatness of
your power shall your enemies submit
themselves to you.
4 All the earth shall worship you, and
shall sing to you; they shall sing to your
name. Selah.
5 Come and see the works of Elohim:
he is terrible in his doing toward the
children of men.
6 He turned the sea into dry land: they
went through the flood on foot: there we
rejoiced in him.
7 He rules by his power forever; his
eyes behold the nations: let not the
rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
8 O bless our Elohim, you people, and
make the voice of his praise to be heard:
9 Which holds our soul in life, and does
not allow our feet to be moved.
10 For you, O Elohim, have proved us:
you have tried us, as silver is tried.
11 You brought us into the net; you laid
affliction upon our loins.
12 You have caused men to ride over
our heads; we went through fire and
through mayim (water): but you brought
us out into a wealthy place.
13 I will go into your house with burnt
offerings: I will pay you my vows,
 Tehillim (Psalms)
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my
mouth has spoken, when I was in trouble.
15 I will offer to you burnt sacrifices of
fatlings, with the incense of rams; I will
offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
16 Come and hear, all you that fear
Elohim, and I will declare what he has
done for my soul.
17 I cried to him with my mouth, and he
was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I had harbored sin in my heart,
hwhy will not hear me:1
19 But verily Elohim has heard me; he
has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be Elohim, which has not
turned away my prayer, nor his mercy
from me.
Psalm 67
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A
Psalm or Song.2
1 Elohim be merciful to us, and bless
us; and cause his face to shine upon us;
Selah.
2 That your way may be known upon
earth, your saving health among all
nations.
3 Let the people praise you, O Elohim;
let all the people praise you.
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for
joy: for you shall judge the people
righteously, and govern the nations upon
earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise you, O Elohim;
let all the people praise you.
6 Then shall the earth yield her
increase; and Elohim, even our own
Elohim, shall bless us.
7 Elohim shall bless us; and all the ends
of the earth shall fear him.
1 If you live in a sinful state and do not turn away
from it then YHWH would not hear your prayers.

Psalm 68
To the chief Musician, A Psalm or Song
of Dawud (David).
1 Let Elohim arise, let his enemies be
scattered: let them also that hate him flee
before him.
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive
them away: as wax melts before the fire,
so let the wicked perish at the presence
of Elohim.
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them
rejoice before Elohim: yes, let them
rejoice exceedingly.
4 Sing to Elohim, sing praises to his
name: extol him that rides upon the
shamayim (heavens) by his name hy
(YAH), and rejoice before him.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge
of the widows, is Elohim in his Set-Apart
habitation.
6 Elohim makes a home for those who
have been deserted by their families: he
frees prisoners and prospers them: but
the sinful rebellious one dwell in a
parched desert.
7 O Elohim, when you went forth before
your people, when you did march through
the wilderness; Selah:
8 The earth shook, the shamayim
(heavens) also dropped at the presence
of Elohim: even Sini’yah (Sinai) itself was
moved at the presence of Elohim, the
Elohim of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
9 You, O Elohim, did send a plentiful
rain, whereby you did confirm your
inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Your congregation has dwelt therein:
you, O Elohim, have prepared of your
goodness for the poor.
11 The Master gave the word: great
was the company of those that published
it.
12 Kings of hosts did flee apace: and
she that waited at home divided the spoil.
13 Though you lie among the pots, yet
shall you be as the wings of a dove
covered with silver, and her feathers with
 Tehillim (Psalms)
yellow gold.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in
it, it was white as snow in Tzalmon.
15 The mountain of Elohim is as the
mountain of Bashan; a high mountain as
the mountain of Bashan.1
16 Why do you leap, O’ high
mountains? This is the Mountain which
Elohim desires to dwell in; yes, hwhy will
dwell in it forever.
17 The chariots of Elohim are twenty
thousand, even thousands of heavenly
messengers: the Master is among them,
as in Sini’yah (Sinai), in the Set-Apart
place.
18 You have ascended on high, you
have led captivity captive: you have
received gifts for men;2 yes, for the
rebellious also, that hwhy Elohim might
dwell among them.
19 Blessed be the Master, who day by
day carries our burdens, even the El of
our deliverance. Selah.
20 He that is our El is the El of
deliverance; and to hwhy the Master
belong the issues from death.
21 But Elohim shall wound the head of
his enemies and the hairy scalp of such a
one as goes on still in his trespasses.
1
The comparison of the Mountain of Elohim is to
His congregation of both Jews and gentiles called
Israel. It is very fruitful just like it uses for
comparison the Mountain of Bashan, which was a
very fertile region and very fruitful to bring up
livestock. The highest peak in Israel is in the
North, Mount Herman while the Mount Tsiyon in
the south is not really much to look at
topographically but since Elohim made it His
habitation there then it is now of great
significance. The Yebusites were driven out of the
south by King David Second Sam 5:6-8 and after
this became the place where YHWH has
established His name forever.
2 This is what Rabbi Paulos quoted in Eph 4:8,
where Messiah declares His glory and kingship in
She’ol.
1004
22 The Master said, I will bring again
from Bashan, I will bring my people again
from the depths of the sea:
23 That your foot may be dipped in the
blood of your enemies, and the tongue of
your dogs in the same.
24 They have seen your goings, O
Elohim; even the goings of my El, my
King, in the sanctuary.
25 The singers went before, the players
on instruments followed after; among
them were the damsels playing with
timbrels.
26 Bless you Elohim in the
congregations, even the Master, from the
fountain of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
27 There is little Benyamin (Benjamin)
with their ruler, the princes of Yahudah
(Judah) and their council, the princes of
Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Your Elohim has commanded your
strength: strengthen, O Elohim, that
which you have wrought for us.
29 Because of your temple at
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) shall kings
bring presents to you.
30 Rebuke the company of spearmen,
the multitude of the bulls, with the calves
of the people, till every one submits
himself with pieces of silver: scatter you
the people that delight in war.
31 Princes shall come out of Mitzrayim
(Egypt); Ethiopia shall soon stretch out
her hands to Elohim.
32 Sing to Elohim, you kingdoms of the
earth; O sing praises to the Master;
Selah:
33 To him that rides upon the shamayim
(heavens) of shamayim (heavens), which
were of old; lo, he does send out his
voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Ascribe you strength to Elohim: his
excellence is over Yah’sar’el (Israel) and
his strength is in the clouds.
35 O Elohim, you are terrible out of your
Set-Apart places: the El (Power) of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) is he that gives
 Tehillim (Psalms)
strength and power to his people.
Blessed be Elohim.
Psalm 69
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim,
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 Save me, O Elohim; for the waters are
come in to my soul.
2 I sink in deep mud, where there is no
standing: I am come into deep waters,
where the floods overflow me.
3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is
dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my
Elohim.1
4 They that hate me without a cause are
more than the hairs of my head: they that
would destroy me, being my enemies
wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored
that which I took not away.
5 O Elohim, you know my foolishness;
and my sins are not hid from you.
6 Let not them that wait on you, O
Master hwhy of hosts, be ashamed for
my sake: let not those that seek you be
confounded for my sake, O Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
7 Because for your sake I have borne
reproach; shame has covered my face.
8 I have become a foreigner to my
brethren, and an alien to my mother's
children.2
9 For the zeal of your house has eaten
me up; and the reproaches of them that
reproached you are fallen upon me.3
1 This anguish was of King David as a child when
he was rejected by his dad and brothers and he
cried as he received no love from his father, he
thought King David was Illegitimate.
2 This was the period of twenty-eight years before
he became king. He was born to a wealthy man.
Yishai (Jesse) who was one of the Torah scholars
who sat in the gate and had a prominent position
in the Sanhedrin.
3 Remember the nearest prophecy is to King David
first and then the type or shadow to the King
1005
10 When I wept, and chastened my soul
with fasting,4 that was to my reproach.
11 I made sackcloth also my garment;
and I became a proverb to them.5
12 They that sit in the gate speak
against me; and I was the song of the
drunkards.6
13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O
hwhy, in an acceptable time: O Elohim, in
the multitude of your mercy hear me, in
the truth of your deliverance.
14 Deliver me out of the muddy clay,
and let me not sink: let me be delivered
from them that hate me, and out of the
deep waters.
15 Let not the flood overflow me, neither
let the deep swallow me up, and let not
the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Hear me, O hwhy; for your loving-
kindness is good: turn towards me
according to the multitude of your tender
Messiah. David’s brothers hated him thinking he is
born out of adultery of their mother but she never
committed adultery, it was a mistake. His mother’s
name was Nitzevet the daughter of Adel.
4 King David fasted and YHWH did at last deliver
him from this predicament. Sometimes we end up
in a painful sorrowful position and we have to fast
and pray. The key is to persevere and do not give
up. Look it took King David 28 years while it took
Abraham 25 years to receive a son and when
Abimelech had taken Sarah from Abraham she did
not return instantly but it took two years of
prayers for her to return so we really need to learn
patience, meditation upon YHWH’s words written
in scripture and then things may head in the right
direction.
5 His brothers treated him like a servant and made
him a shepherd. He was isolated by his brothers so
that one day a wild animal would kill him. What an
incredible sad existence King David had to go
through. He was not allowed to eat with the rest of
his family but had to eat alone, imagine the grief
of his mother, who had to endure this?
6 King David’s father was an important man and
he sat with important men, some of these
including his brothers made fun of King David.

mercies.
17 And hide not your face from your
servant; for I am in trouble: hear me
speedily.
18 Draw near to my soul, and redeem it:
deliver me because of my enemies.
19 You have known my reproach, and
my shame, and my dishonour: my
adversaries are all before you.1
1 Yishai's plan, suggesting a bold counter plan. "Let
http://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_c
do/aid/280331/jewish/Nitzevet-Mother-of-
David.htm Boaz and the sages understood this
law--as per the classic interpretation transmitted in
the "Oral Torah"--as forbidding the conversion of
male Moabites (who were the ones responsible for
the cruel conduct) while exempting female Moabite
converts. With his marriage to Ruth, Boaz hoped
to clarify and publicize this Torah law, which was
still unknown to the masses. Boaz died the night
after his marriage with Ruth. Ruth had conceived
and subsequently gave birth to their son, Oved,
the father of Yishai. Some rabble-rousers at the
time claimed that Boaz's death verified that his
marriage to Ruth the Moabite had indeed been
forbidden. Time would prove differently. Once
Oved (called so because he was a true oved,
servant of G-d), and later Yishai and his offspring
were born, their righteous conduct and prestigious
positions proved the legitimacy of their ancestry. It
was unquestionable that men of such caliber could
have descended from a forbidden union.
However, later in his life, doubt gripped at Yishai's
heart, gnawing away at the very foundation of his
existence. Being the sincere individual that he was,
his integrity compelled him to action. If Yishai's
status was questionable, he was not permitted to
remain married to his wife, a veritable Israelite.
Disregarding the personal sacrifice, Yishai decided
the only solution would be to separate from her,
by no longer engaging in marital relations. Yishai's
children were aware of this separation. After a
number of years had passed, Yishai longed for an
offspring whose ancestry would be
unquestionable. His plan was to engage in
relations with his Canaanite maidservant. He said
to her: "I will be freeing you, conditionally. If my
status as a Jew is legitimate, then you are freed as
a proper Jewish convert to marry me. If my status,
1006
however, is blemished and I have the legal status
of a Moabite convert forbidden to marry an
Israelite, I am not giving you your freedom, but as
a Shifchah Canaanit, a Canaanite maidservant, you
may marry a Moabite convert."
The maidservant was aware of the anguish of her
mistress, Nitzevet. She understood her pain in
being separated from her husband for so many
years. She knew, as well, of Nitzevet's longing for
more children. The empathetic maidservant
secretly approached Nitzevet and informed her of
us learn from your ancestress and replicate their
actions. Switch places with me tonight, just as
Leah did with Rachel," she advised.
With a prayer on her lips that her plan succeeds,
Nitzevet took the place of her maidservant. That
night Nitzevet conceived. Yishai remained unaware
of the switch. After three months, Nitzevet's
pregnancy became obvious. Incensed, her sons
wished to kill their apparently adulterous mother
and the illegitimate fetus that she carried.
Nitzevet, for her part, would not embarrass her
husband by revealing the truth of what had
occurred. Like her ancestress Tamar, who was
prepared to be burned alive rather than embarrass
Judah, Nitzevet chose a vow of silence. And like
Tamar, Nitzevet would be rewarded for her silence
with a child of greatness who would be the
forebear of Moshiach.
Unaware of the truth behind his wife's pregnancy,
but having compassion on her, Yishai ordered his
sons not to touch her. "Do not kill her! Instead, let
the child that will be born be treated as a lowly
and despised servant. In this way, everyone will
realize that his status is questionable and, as an
illegitimate child, he will not marry an Israelite."
From the time of his birth onwards, Nitzevet's son
was treated by his brothers as an abominable
outcast. Noting the conduct of his brothers, the
rest of the community assumed that this youth
was a treacherous sinner full of unspeakable guilt.
On the infrequent occasions that Nitzevet's son
would return from the pastures to his home in Beit
Lechem (Bethlehem), he was shunned by the
townspeople. If something was lost or stolen, he
was accused as the natural culprit and ordered in
the words of the Psalm, to "repay what I have not
stolen." Eventually, the entire lineage of Yishai was
 Tehillim (Psalms)
20 Reproach has broken my heart; and
I am full of heaviness: and I looked for
some to take pity, but there was none;
and for comforters, but I found none.1
21 They gave me also gall for my food;
and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to
drink.2
22 Let their table become a snare
before them: and that which should have
been for their welfare, let it become a
trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they
see not; and make their loins continually
to shake.
24 Pour out your indignation upon them,
and let your wrathful anger take hold of
them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and
let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom you
have smitten; and they talk to the grief of
those whom you have wounded.
27 Add iniquity to their iniquity: and let
them not come into your righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the scroll
of the living, and not be written with the
righteous.3
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let your
Deliverance (Yahshuah: Deliverance), O
Elohim, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of Elohim with
questioned, as well as the basis of the original law
of the Moabite convert. People claimed that all the
positive qualities from Boaz became manifest in
Yishai and his illustrious seven sons, while all the
negative character traits from Ruth the Moabite
clung to this despicable youngest son.

to be there to assist and people come with bad
remarks, remember patience, perseverance and

Elohim.
33 For hwhy hears the poor, and

34 Let the shamayim (heavens) and
earth praise him, the seas, and every
thing that moves there.
35 For Elohim will save Tsiyon, and will
build the cities of Yahudah (Judah): that
they may dwell there, and have it in
possession.

inherit it: and they that love his name
shall dwell therein.
Psalm 70
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David), to bring to remembrance.
1 Make haste, O Elohim, to deliver me;
make haste to help me, O hwhy.
2 Let them be ashamed and
confounded that seek after my soul: let
them be turned backward, and put to
confusion, that desire my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward
of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4 Let all those that seek you rejoice and
be glad in you: and let such as love your
deliverance say continually, Let Elohim
be magnified.
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste
to me, O Elohim: you are my help and my
deliverer; O hwhy, make no tarrying.
Psalm 71
1 In you, O hwhy, do I put my trust: let
me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and
cause me to escape: incline your ear to
me, and save me.
3 Be my strong habitation, I may
 Tehillim (Psalms)
continually resort upon you: you have
given commandment to save me; for you
are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my Elohim, out of the
hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the
unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For you are my hope, O Master hwhy:
you are my trust from my youth.
6 By you have I been held up from the
womb: you are he that took me out of my
mother's bowels: my praise shall be
continually of you.
7 I am as a wonder to many; but you
are my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with your
praise and with your honour all the day.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies speak against me;
and they that lay wait for my soul take
counsel together,
11 Saying, Elohim has forsaken him:
persecute and take him; for there is none
to deliver him.
12 O Elohim, be not far from me: O my
Elohim, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be confounded and
consumed that are adversaries to my
soul; let them be covered with reproach
and dishonour that seek my hurt.
14 But I will hope continually, and will
yet praise you more and more.
15 My mouth shall show forth your
righteousness and your deliverance all
the day; for I know not the numbers
thereof.
16 I will go in the strength of the Master
hwhy: I will make mention of your
righteousness, even of your only.
17 O Elohim, you have taught me from
my youth: and I have declared your
wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and gray
headed, O Elohim, forsake me not; until I
have showed your strength to this
generation, and your power to every one
that is to come.
1008
19 Your righteousness also, O Elohim,
is very high, who have done great things:
O Elohim, who is like to you!
20 You, which have showed me great
and sore troubles, shall quicken me
again, and shall bring me up again from
the depths of the earth.
21 You shall increase my greatness,
and comfort me on every side.
22 I will also praise you with the lyre,
even your truth, O my Elohim: to you will I
sing with the lyre, O you Set-Apart One of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I
sing to you; and my soul, which you have
redeemed.
24 My tongue also shall talk of your
righteousness all the day long: for they
are confounded, for they are brought to
shame, that seek my hurt.
Psalm 72
A Psalm for Sul’ahmon (Solomon).
1 Give the king your judgments, O
Elohim, and your righteousness to the
king's son.
2 He shall judge your people with
righteousness, and your poor with right-
ruling.
3 The mountains shall bring shalom
(peace) to the people, and the little hills,
by righteousness.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people,
he shall save the children of the needy,
and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear you as long as the sun
and moon endure, throughout all
generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the
mown grass: as showers that mayim
(water) the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish;
and abundance of shalom (peace) so
long as the moon endures.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea
to sea, and from the river to the ends of
the earth.

bow before him; and his enemies shall
lick the dust.

of the isles shall bring presents: the kings
of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.1
11 Yes, all kings shall fall down before
him: all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the needy when
he cries; the poor also, and him that has
no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy,
and shall save the souls of the needy.
14 He shall redeem their soul from
deceit and violence: and precious shall
their blood be in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be
given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also
shall be made for him continually; and
daily shall he be praised.
16 There shall be a handful of grain in
the earth upon the top of the mountains;
the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon:
and they of the city shall flourish like
grass of the earth.
17 His name shall endure forever: his
name shall continue before the sun: and
men shall be blessed in him: all nations
shall call him blessed.
18 Blessed be hwhy Elohim, the Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), who only does
wondrous things.

forever: and let the whole earth be filled
with his glory; Amein, and Amein.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost
gone; my steps had well near slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when
I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death:
but their strength is firm.

neither are they plagued like other men.

as a chain; violence covers them as a
garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness:
they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly
concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the
shamayim (heavens), and their tongue
walks through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return here:
and waters of a full cup are wrung out to
them.
11 And they say, How does the El
(Power) know? And is there knowledge in
the Most High?
12 Behold, these are the wicked, who
prosper in the world; they increase in
riches.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in
vain, and washed my hands in
innocence.
14 For all the day long have I been
plagued and chastened every morning.
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I
should offend against the generation of
your children.
16 When I thought to know this, it was
too painful for me;
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of the
El (Power); then understood I their end.
18 Surely you did set them in slippery
places: you cast them down into
destruction.
19 How are they brought into
desolation, as in a moment! They are
utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when one awakes; so, O
Master, when you awake, you shall
 Tehillim (Psalms)
despise their image.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I
was pricked in my reins.
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was
as a beast before you.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with
you: you have held me by my right hand.
24 You shall guide me with your
counsel, and afterward receive me to
glory.
25 Who have I in shamayim (heavens)
but you? And there is none upon earth
that I desire beside you.
26 My flesh and my heart fails: but
Elohim is the strength of my heart, and
my portion forever.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you
shall perish: you have destroyed all them
that go a whoring from you.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to
Elohim: I have put my trust in the Master
hwhy, that I may declare all your works.
Psalm 74
Maschil of Asaph.
1 O Elohim, why have you cast us off
forever? Why does your anger smoke
against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Remember your congregation, which
you have purchased of old; the rod of
your inheritance, which you have
redeemed; this Mount Tsiyon, wherein
you have dwelt.
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual
desolations; even all that the enemy has
done wickedly in the sanctuary.1
4 Your enemies roar in the midst of your
congregations; they set up their own
signs for signs.2
5 The ones you know who come as with
1 Muslims occupying the Temple mount.
2 Muslims put up their own Arabic writings wooing
people to Allah and ignore or even berate Jewish
synagogues of worship.

axes to cut the strong etzim (trees).3
6 But now they break down the carved
work thereof at once with axes and
hammers.
7 They have cast fire into your
sanctuary, they have defiled by casting
down the dwelling place of your name to
the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us
destroy them together: they have burned
up all the synagogues of El in the land.4
9 We see not our signs: there is no
more any prophet: neither is there among
us any that knows how long.
10 O Elohim, how long shall the
adversary reproach? Shall the enemy
blaspheme your name forever?5
11 Why do you withdraw your hand,
even your right hand? Pluck it out of your
bosom.
12 For Elohim is my King of old, working
deliverance in the midst of the earth.
13 You did divide the sea by your
strength: you broke the heads of the sea-
serpents in the waters.
14 You broke the heads of leviathan in
pieces, and gave him to be food to the
people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 You did cleave the fountain and the
flood: you dried up mighty rivers.
16 The day is your, the night also is
your: you have prepared the light and the
sun.
17 You have set all the borders of the
earth: you have made summer and
winter.
3 The ones who come are radical Muslims who
come to kill or murder people, the strong trees are
not literal trees but Jewish people, the righteous
ones Satan wants to murder.
4 This is indeed true; all synagogues in Judea were
burned down by Muslims in the past.
5 The name YHWH is blasphemed daily at the
Temple mount where prayers go up in the name of
Allah.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
18 Remember this, that the enemy has
reproached, O hwhy, and that the foolish
people have blasphemed your name.
19 O deliver not the soul of your
turtledove to the multitude of the wicked:
forget not the congregation of your poor
forever.
20 Have respect to the covenant: for the
dark places of the earth are full of the
habitations of cruelty.1
21 O let not the oppressed return
ashamed: let the poor and needy praise
your name.
22 Arise, O Elohim, plead your own
cause: remember how the foolish man
reproach you daily.
23 Forget not the voice of your
enemies: the tumult of those that rise up
against you increase continually.
Psalm 75
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A
Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1 To you, O Elohim, do we give thanks,
to you do we give thanks: for that your
name is near your wondrous works
declare.
2 When I shall receive the congregation
I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants there
are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it.
Selah.
4 I said to the fools, Deal not foolishly:
and to the wicked, Lift not up your
power:2
5 Lift not up your power on high: speak
not in arrogance.
6 For exaltation comes neither from the
east, nor from the west, nor from the

now, who despised YHWH and laughed at his
inheritance.

south.3
7 But Elohim is the judge: he puts down
one, and sets up another.
8 For in the hand of hwhy there is a
cup, and the wine is red; it is full of
mixture; and he pours out of the same:
including the dregs, all the wicked of the
earth shall drink it out, to the very last
drop of it.
9 But I will declare forever; I will sing
praises to the Elohim of Ya’acob (Jacob).
10 All the power of the wicked will I cut
off; but the righteous shall be exalted in
power.
Psalm 76
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A
Psalm or Song of Asaph.
1 In Yahudah (Judah) is Elohim known:
his name is great in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
2 In Shalom4 also is his tabernacle, and
his dwelling place in Tsiyon.
3 There he broke the arrows of the bow,
the shield, and the sword, and the battle-
axe. Selah.
4 You are more glorious and excellent
than the mountains of prey.
5 The brave-hearted were plundered,
they fell asleep: and the mighty warriors
became helpless.
6 At your rebuke, O Elohim of Ya’acob
(Jacob), both the chariot and horse are
cast into a dead sleep.
7 You, even you, are to be feared: and
who may stand in your sight when you
are angry?
8 You did cause right-ruling to be heard
from shamayim (heaven); the earth
feared, and was still,
9 When Elohim arose to right-ruling, to
save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
3 The heaven is in the North and that is what is
being said that when a person is exalted his
exaltation comes from the North, the place of
YHWH’s dwelling.
4 Ancient name for Jerusalem.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise
you: the remainder of wrath shall you
restrain.
11 Vow, and pay to the hwhy your
Elohim: let all that be around him bring
presents to him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the ruach (spirit) of
princes: he is terrible to the kings of the
earth.
Psalm 77
To the chief Musician, to Yeduthun, A
Psalm of Asaph.
1 I cried to Elohim with my voice, even
to Elohim with my voice; and he gave ear
to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the
Master: my sore ran in the night, and
ceased not: my soul refused to be
comforted.
3 I remembered Elohim, and was
troubled: I complained, and my Ruach
(Spirit) was overwhelmed. Selah.
4 You held my eyes awake: I am so
troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old, the
years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the
night: I commune with my own heart: and
my ruach (spirit) made diligent search.
7 Will the Master cast off forever? And
will he be favorable no more?
8 Is his mercy clean gone forever?
Does his promise fail forevermore?
9 Has the El (Power) forgotten to be
gracious? Has he in anger shut up his
tender mercies? Selah.
10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I
will remember the years of the right hand
of the most High.
11 I will remember the works of hwhy:
surely I will remember your wonders of
ancient times.
12 I will meditate also of all your work,
and talk of your doings.
13 Your way, O Elohim, is in the
sanctuary: who is the Great El (Power) as
1012
our Elohim?
14 You are the El (Power) that do
wonders: you have declared your
strength among the people.
15 You have with your arm redeemed
your people, the sons of Ya’acob (Jacob)
and Yosef. Selah.
16 The waters1 saw you, O Elohim, the
waters saw you; they were afraid: the
depths also were troubled.
17 The clouds poured out mayim
(water): the skies sent out a sound: your
arrows also went abroad.
18 The voice of your thunder was in the
shamayim (heavens): the lightnings
lightened the world: the earth trembled
and shook.
19 Your way is in the sea, and your path
in the great waters, and your footsteps
are not known.
20 You led your people like a flock by
the hand of Musa (Moses) and Aharon.
Psalm 78
Maschil of Asaph.
1 Give ear, O my people, to my Torah:
incline your ears to the words of my
mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I
will utter dark sayings of old:2
3 Which we have heard and known, and
our ahvot (fathers) have told us.
4 We will not hide them from their
children, showing to the generation to
come to the praises of hwhy, and his
strength, and his wonderful works that he
has done.
5 For he established a testimony in
Ya’acob (Jacob), and appointed a Torah
in Yah’sar’el (Israel), which he
commanded our ahvot (fathers), that they
should make them known to their
1 Waters here is drash for nations.
2 Yahushua spoke in parables (Matt 13: 35).
 Tehillim (Psalms)
children:
6 That the generation to come might
know them, even the children which
should be born; who should arise and
declare them to their children:
7 That they might set their hope in
Elohim, and not forget the works of the El
(Power), but keep his commandments:
8 And might not be as their ahvot
(fathers), a stubborn and rebellious
generation; a generation that set not their
heart aright, and whose ruach (spirit) was
not steadfast with El.
9 The children of Ephraim, being armed
and carrying bows, turned back in the day
of battle.
10 They kept not the covenant of
Elohim, and refused to walk in his Torah;
11 And forgot his works, and his
wonders that he had showed them.
12 Marvellous things did he in the sight
of their ahvot (fathers), in the land of
Mitzrayim (Egypt), in the field of Zoan.
13 He divided the sea, and caused
them to pass through; and he made the
waters to stand as a heap.
14 In the daytime also he led them with
a cloud, and all the night with a light of
fire.
15 He split1 open the rocks2 in the
wilderness, and gave them drink as out of
the great depths.
16 He brought streams also out of the
rock, and caused waters to run down like
rivers.
17 And they sinned yet more against
him by provoking the Supreme One in the
wilderness.
1 The Hebrew word for split is Baca which means
to divide and it is the same word which is used in
Zech 14 when Yahushua’s feet touches Mount of
Olives and it splits into two.
2 This incident happened in Saudi Arabia when
water was given to Israel in the dry parched
desert. Exo chapter 17.
1013
18 And they tempted El (The Power) in
their heart by asking food for their lust.
19 Yes, they spoke against Elohim; they
said, Can El (The Power) furnish a table
in the wilderness?
20 Behold, he struck the rock, that the
waters gushed out, and the streams
overflowed; can he give lechem (bread)
also? Can he provide flesh for his
people?
21 Therefore hwhy heard this, and was
angry: so a fire was kindled against
Ya’acob (Jacob), and anger also came up
against Yah’sar’el (Israel);
22 Because they believed not in Elohim,
and trusted not in his deliverance:
23 Though he had commanded the
clouds from above, and opened the doors
of shamayim (heavens),
24 And had rained down manna3 upon
them to eat, and had given them of the
grain of shamayim (heaven).
25 Man did eat heavenly messenger’s
food: he sent them food to make them
full.
26 He caused an east wind to blow in
the shamayim (heaven): and by his
power he brought in the south wind.
27 He rained flesh also upon them as
dust, and winged birds like the sand of
the sea:
28 And he let it fall in the midst of their
camp, surrounding their dwellings.
29 So they did eat, and were well filled:
for he gave them their own desire;
30 They were not estranged from their
lust. But while their meat was yet in their
mouths,
31 The wrath of Elohim came upon
them, and slew the fattest of them, and
smote down the chosen men of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
32 For all this they still sinned, and
3 Manna was like coriander seeds which fell from
heaven.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
believed not for his wondrous works.
33 Therefore their days did he consume
in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34 When he slew them, then they
sought him: and they returned and
enquired early after El (The Power).
35 And they remembered that Elohim
was their rock, and the high El (Power)
their redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with
their mouth, and they lied to him with their
tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with him,
neither were they steadfast in his
covenant.
38 But he, being full of compassion,
forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them
not: yes, many a time turned he his anger
away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 For he remembered that they were
but flesh; a wind that passes away, and
does not return.
40 How often did they provoke him in
the wilderness, and grieve him in the
desert!
41 Yes, they turned back and tempted
El (The Power), and limited the Set-Apart
One of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
42 They remembered not his hand, nor
the day when he delivered them from the
enemy.
43 How he had wrought his signs in
Mitzrayim (Egypt), and his wonders in the
field of Zoan:
44 And had turned their rivers into
blood; and their floods, that they could
not drink.
45 He sent various sorts of flies among
them, which devoured them; and frogs,
which destroyed them.
46 He gave also their crops to the
caterpillar, and their labour to the locust.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail,
and their sycamore etzim (trees) with
frost.
48 He gave up their cattle also to the
hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
1014
49 He cast upon them the fierceness of
his anger, wrath, and indignation, and
trouble, by sending a detachment of
destroying heavenly messengers among
them.
50 He made a way to his anger; he
spared not their soul from death, but gave
their life over to the pestilence;
51 And smote all the firstborn in
Mitzrayim (Egypt); the chief of their
strength in the tabernacles of Cham
(Ham):
52 But made his own people to go forth
like sheep, and guided them in the
wilderness like a flock.
53 And he led them on safely, so that
they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed
their enemies.
54 And he brought them to the border of
his sanctuary, even to this mountain,
which his right hand had purchased.
55 He cast out the nations also before
them, and divided them an inheritance by
line, and made the tribes of Yah’sar’el
(Israel) to dwell in their tents.
56 Yet they tempted and provoked the
most high Elohim, and kept not his
testimonies:
57 But turned back, and dealt
unfaithfully like their ahvot (fathers): they
were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
58 For they provoked him to anger with
their high places, and moved him to
jealousy with their carved images.
59 When Elohim heard this, he was
provoked to anger, and greatly despised
Yah’sar’el (Israel):
60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of
Shiloh, the tent which he placed among
men;
61 And delivered his strength into
captivity, and his glory into the enemy's
hand.
62 He gave his people over also to the
sword; and was provoked to anger with
his inheritance.
63 The fire consumed their young men;
 Tehillim (Psalms)
and their maidens were not given to
marriage.
64 Their kohenim (priests) fell by the
sword; and their widows made no
lamentation.
65 Then the Master awaked as one out
of sleep, and like a mighty man that
shouts by reason of wine.
66 And he smote his enemies in the
hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual
reproach.
67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle
of Yosef,1 and chose not the tribe of
Ephraim:2
68 But chose the tribe of Yahudah
(Judah), the Mount Tsiyon which he
loved.3
69 And he built his sanctuary like high
palaces, like the earth which he has
established forever.
70 He chose Dawud (David) also his
servant, and took him from the
sheepfolds:
71 From following the ewes great with
young he brought him to feed Ya’acob
(Jacob) his people, and Yah’sar’el (Israel)
his inheritance.
72 So he fed them according to the
integrity of his heart; and guided them by
the skillfulness of his hands.
Psalm 79
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 O Elohim, the nations are come into
your inheritance; your Set-Apart Temple
have they defiled; they have laid
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) on heaps.
2 The dead bodies of your servants
1 Master.
Yosef is not allowed to have separate Temple
and say the Messiah will come to us.
2 The Ten tribes were not chosen to run the
Temple or run YHWH’s governance but Judah was
as that is who held the sceptre, see Gen 49:10.
3 He loved Judah and kept them as His lawgiver.
1015
have they given to be food to the birds of
the shamayim (heavens), the flesh of
your Israelite kedoshim (saints) to the
beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood have they shed like
mayim (water) surrounding Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem); and there was none to bury
them.
4 We have become a reproach to our
neighbours, a scorn and derision to them
that are round about us.4
5 How long, hwhy? Will you be angry
forever? Shall your jealousy burn like
fire?
6 Pour out your wrath upon the nations
that have not known you, and upon the
kingdoms that have not called upon your
name.
7 For they have devoured Ya’acob
(Jacob), and laid waste his dwelling
place.
8 O remember not against us former
iniquities: let your tender mercies
speedily prevent us: for we are brought
very low.
9 Help us, O Elohim of our deliverance,
for the glory of your name: and deliver us,
and purge away our sins, for your name's
sake.
10 Therefore should the nations say,
Where is their Elohim? Let him be known
among the nations in our sight by the
revenging of the blood of your servants
which is shed.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come
before you; according to the greatness of
your power preserve those that are
appointed to die;
12 And render to our neighbours
sevenfold into their bosom their reproach,
wherewith they have reproached you, O
13 So we your people and sheep of
your pasture will give you thanks forever:

we will show forth your praise to all
generations.
Psalm 80
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim-
Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Yah’sar’el
(Israel), you that lead Yosef like a flock;
you that dwell between the Cherubims,
shine forth.
2 Before Ephraim and Benyamin
(Benjamin) and Manashsheh stir up your
strength, and come and save us.
3 Return to us again, O Elohim, and
cause your face to shine; and we shall be
delivered.
4 O hwhy Elohim of hosts, how long will
you be angry against the prayer of your
people?
5 You feed them with the lechem
(bread) of tears; and give them tears to
drink in great measure.
6 You make us a strife to our
neighbours: and our enemies laugh
among themselves.
7 Return to us again, O Elohim of hosts,
and cause your face to shine; and we
shall be delivered.
8 You have brought a vine out of
Mitzrayim (Egypt): you have cast out the
nations, and planted it.
9 You prepared room before it, and did
cause it to take deep root, and it filled the
land.
10 The hills were covered with the
shadow of it, and the branches were like
the strong cedars.
11 She sent out her branches to the
sea, and her branches to the river.
12 Why have you then broken down her
hedges, so that all they which pass by the
way do pluck her?
13 The swine out of the forest does
ravage it, and the wild beast of the field
devours it.
14 Return, we beseech you, O Elohim
of hosts: look down from shamayim
1016
(heavens), and behold, and visit this vine;
15 And the vineyard1 which your right
hand has planted, and the branch that
you made strong for yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down:
they perish at the rebuke of your
countenance.
17 Let your hand be upon the man of
your right hand, upon the son of man
whom you made strong for yourself.
18 So will not we go back from you:
revive us, and we will call upon your
name.
19 Return to us again, O hwhy Elohim
of hosts, cause your face to shine; and
we shall be delivered.

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A
Psalm of Asaph.
1 Sing aloud to Elohim our strength:
make a joyful noise to the Elohim of
Ya’acob (Jacob).
2 Take a psalm, and bring here the
timbrel, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3 Blow the shofar in the new moon, in

4 For this is a statute for Yah’sar’el
(Israel), and a Torah of the Elohim of
Ya’acob (Jacob).

burden: his hands were delivered from

7 You called in trouble, and I delivered
you; I answered you in the secret place of
thunder:2 I proved you at the waters of
Meribah. Selah.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to
you: O Yah’sar’el (Israel), if you will
hearken to me;
9 There shall no strange el (false
power) be in you; neither shall you
worship any strange el (false power).
10 I am hwhy your Elohim, which
brought you out of the land of Mitzrayim
(Egypt): open your mouth wide, and I will
fill it.
11 But my people would not hearken to
my voice; and Yah’sar’el (Israel) would
have none of me.
12 So I gave them up to their own
hearts' lust: and they walked in their own
counsels.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened to
me, and Yah’sar’el (Israel) had walked in
my ways!
14 I should soon have subdued their
enemies, and turned my hand against
their adversaries.

submission to him: but their time should

these languages and then he could speak with

among the el (false powers).

accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and orphans: do
justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them
out of the hand of the wicked.

understand; they walk on in darkness: all

and all of you are children of the most

resurrected back after the Diaspora. For 1,878
years we did not see a land that the Jews could
call home (Israel). Also we did not see the Muslim
nations come into existence until Muhammad
proclaimed the religion of Islam as supreme in the
7th century AD. So this prophecy cannot apply to
the Roman Empire, or revived Roman Empire, or
the USA theory, but only applies to the beast
mentioned in Revelation 13. This beast is distinct
from the others and is a coalition of these three
Empires, Lion (Babylon), Bear (Persia) and
Leopard (Grecian), which are all Islamic regions
today.
3 IBID page 158 - What happened at Brook
Kishon? Let us investigate and understand this
matter.
1 Kings 18:40 And Elijah said to them, “Seize the
prophets of Baal!” Do not let one of them
escape! So they seized them; and Elijah brought
them down to the Brook Kishon and executed
them there. The prophets of Baal were killed here;
1018
10 Which perished at Endor: they
became as dung for the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like
Zeeb: yes, all their princes as Zebah, and
as Zalmunna:
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves
the houses of Elohim in possession.
13 O my Elohim, make them like a
wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 As the fire burns a wood, and as the
flame sets the mountains on fire;
15 So persecute them with your
tempest, and make them afraid with your
storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they
may seek your name, O hwhy.4
17 Let them be confounded and
troubled forever; yes, let them be put to
shame, and perish:
so the prophets of [Allah who is Baal or Ba’il] will
also be destroyed in the same way. This area has
major prophetic significance for the future. Brook
Kishon is the area between Mount Tabor and
Mount Gilboa and flows westward through the
plains of Esdraelon and the Jezreel Valley and it
was here that the encounter of Elijah took place.
Mount Tabor is also the place where Yahweh
routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army
before Barak (Judges 4:13-15). The Jordan
Valley marks the joint of a great tectonic-plate
fault awaiting a massive earthquake.
Geologists know about this region and study it. It
runs straight up through the Red Sea, through the
entire land of Israel under the Jordan River, and
beyond. This is where the huge earthquake that
Zechariah, Ezekiel and Revelation describe will
take place, that will split the Mount of Olives
making a valley for the Jews to escape and drown
the armies of the Anti-Messiah completely
Daniel 9:26 …the end of it shall be with a
flood. Not one of these will escape just like
with Sisera. Judges 4:16 …and all the army of
Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not a man
was left.
4 It is quite obvious that they would only SEEK
THE NAME of YHWH because Muslims
do not worship the true Elohim, but worship a
false deity called Allah, who originated in
Babylon (Iraq).

you have turned yourself from the

lowest parts of She’ol.3
14 O Elohim, the proud are risen
against me, and the assemblies of violent
men have sought after my soul; and have
not set you before them.
15 But you, O Master, are the El (The

longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy

Why do you hide your face from me?

am distracted.

and the fullness there in, you have
founded them.

chosen out of the people.

anointed him:

40 You have broken down all his
hedges; you have brought his
strongholds to ruin.

they are as a sleep: in the morning they
are like grass which grows up.
6 In the morning it flourishes, and grows
up; in the evening it is cut down, and
withers.
7 For we are consumed by your anger,
and by your wrath are we troubled.
8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your
countenance.1
9 For all our days are passed away in
your wrath: we spend our years as a tale
that is told.
10 The days of our years are seventy
years; and if by reason of strength they
be eighty years, yet is their strength
labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off,
and we fly away.

anger? Even according to your fear, so is
your wrath.

through your work: I will triumph in the
works of your hands.
5 O hwhy, how great are your works!
And your thoughts are very deep.
6 A senseless man does not know this;
neither does a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass,
and when all the workers of iniquity do
flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed
forever:

forevermore.
9 For, lo, your enemies, O hwhy, for, lo,
your enemies shall perish; all the workers

my enemies, and my ears shall hear my
desire of the wicked that rise up against
me.

hear? He that formed the eye, shall he
not see?
10 He that chastises the nations, shall
not he correct? He that teaches man
knowledge, shall not he know?
11 hwhy knows the thoughts of man,
that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom you
chasten, O hwhy, and teaches him out of
your Torah;
13 That you may give him rest from the
days of adversity, until the pit be dug for
the wicked.
14 For hwhy will not cast off his people,
neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But right-ruling shall return to
righteousness: and all the upright in heart
shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the
evildoers? Or who will stand up for me
against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless hwhy had been my help, my
soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slips; your
mercy, O hwhy, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts
within me your comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have
fellowship with you, which frames
1026
destruction by a decree?
21 They gather themselves together
against the soul of the righteous, and
condemn the innocent blood.
22 But hwhy is my defence; and my
Elohim is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their
own iniquity, and shall cut them off in
their own wickedness; yes, hwhy our
Elohim shall cut them off.
Psalm 95

down: let us kneel before hwhy our

provocation, and as in the day of
temptation in the wilderness:

me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 I was grieved with this generation for
Forty years, and said, it is a people that
do err in their heart, and they have not
known my ways:
11 To whom I swore in my wrath that
they should not enter into my rest.1
1 This ties in with Hebrew 4:8, where the people
who came from Israel though saved but could not
enter the land, this was the type of millennial rest.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
Psalm 96
1 O sing to hwhy a new song: sing to
hwhy, all the earth.
2 Sing to hwhy, bless his name; show
forth his deliverance from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his wonders among all people.
4 For hwhy is great, and greatly to be
praised: he is to be feared above all
elohim (powers).
5 For all the elohim (powers) of the
nations are idols: but hwhy made the
shamayim (heavens).
6 Honour and majesty are before him:
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give to hwhy, O you kindreds of the
people, give to hwhy glory and strength.
8 Give to hwhy the glory due to his
name: bring an offering, and come into
his courts.
9 O worship hwhy in the beauty of set-
apartness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations that hwhy
reigns: the world also shall be established
that it shall not be moved: he shall judge
the people righteously.
11 Let the shamayim (heavens) rejoice,
and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar,
and the fullness of it.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is
therein: then shall all the etzim (trees) of
the wood rejoice
13 Before hwhy: for he comes, for he
comes to judge the earth: he shall judge
the world with righteousness and the
people with his truth.1
Psalm 97
1 hwhy reigns; let the earth rejoice; let
the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Dark clouds surround him:
righteousness and justice are the
habitation of his throne.
1 The ‘Truth’ is an idiomatic expression for Torah.
1027
3 A fire goes before him, and burns up
his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings enlightened the world:
the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the
presence of hwhy, at the presence of the
Master of the whole earth.
6 The shamayim (heavens) declare his
righteousness, and all the people see his
glory.
7 All that serve graven images shall be
confounded, that boast themselves of
idols: bow down to him, all you mighty
ones (powers).2
8 Tsiyon heard, and was glad; and the
daughters of Yahudah (Judah) rejoiced
because of your judgments, O hwhy.
9 For you, hwhy, are high above all the
earth: you are exalted far above all
elohim (false powers).
10 You that love hwhy hate evil: he
preserves the souls of his Yah’sar’elite
kedoshim (saints); he delivers them out of
the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and
gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in hwhy, you righteous; and
give thanks at the remembrance of his
set-apartness.
Psalm 98
1 O sing to hwhy a new song; for he
has done marvellous things: his right
hand, and his Set-Apart arm, has gotten
him the victory.
2 hwhy has made known his
deliverance: his righteousness has he
openly showed in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his mercy and
his truth toward the house of Yah’sar’el
(Israel): all the ends of the earth have
seen the deliverance of our Elohim.
2 All the leaders of this earth and their so called
elohim, which are nothing but statutes shall one
day be bowed low to YHWH.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
4 Make a joyful noise to hwhy, all the
earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice,
and sing praise.
5 Sing to hwhy with the lyre; with the
lyre, and the voice of a psalm.
6 With shofars and sound of a horn
make a joyful noise before hwhy, the
King.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness
thereof; the world, and they that dwell
therein.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands: let the
mountains be joyful together. 1
9 Before hwhy; for he comes to judge
the earth: with righteousness shall he
judge the world, and the people with
equity.
Psalm 99
1 hwhy reigns; let the people tremble:
he sits between the Cherubims;2 let the
earth be moved.
2 hwhy is great in Tsiyon; and he is
high above all the people.
3 Let them praise your great and terrible
name; for it is Set-Apart.
4 The king's strength also loves right-
ruling; you establish equity, you execute
right-ruling and righteousness in Ya’acob
(Jacob).
5 Exalt hwhy our Elohim, and worship
at his footstool; for he is Set-Apart.
6 Musa (Moses) and Aharon among his
kohenim (priests), and Shemu’el
(Samuel) among them that call upon his
name; they called upon hwhy, and he
answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the column of
cloud: they guarded his testimonies, and
the statutes that he gave them.
1 The Rivers and Mountains are the drash for
nations.
2 Cherubims are special ranking angels, which
were on the Ark of the Covenant representing 2
houses of Israel.
1028
8 You answer them, O hwhy our
Elohim: you were the El (Power) that
forgave them, though you took
vengeance of their inventions.
9 Exalt hwhy our Elohim, and worship
at his Set-Apart hill; for hwhy our Elohim
is Set-Apart.
Psalm 100
1 Make a joyful noise to hwhy, all you
lands.
2 Serve hwhy with gladness: come
before his presence with singing.
3 Know that hwhy he is Elohim: it is he
that has made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his
pasture.
4 Enter into his gates3 with
thanksgiving, and into his courts with
praise: be thankful to him, and bless his
name.
5 For hwhy is good; his mercy is
everlasting; and his truth endures to all
generations.
Psalm 101
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 I will sing of mercy and right-ruling: to
you, O hwhy, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect
way. O when will you come to me? I will
walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no wicked thing before my
eyes: I hate the work of them that turn
aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from
me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 Whoso secretly slanders his
3 The entrance into the Tabernacle of Musa and
The Temple was from the East where Judah
camped, whose name means praise. This is why
Judah has to be in the land of Israel first to make
ready for Temple preparations so all the world can

 Tehillim (Psalms)
neighbour,1 I will cut him off: the one that
has a proud look and a proud heart I will
not permit.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of
the land, which they may dwell with me:
he that walks in a perfect way, he shall
serve me.
7 He that works deceit shall not dwell
within my house: he that told lies shall not
stay in my sight.
8 Each morning will I destroy all the
wicked of the land; that I may cut off all
wicked doers from the city of hwhy.
Psalm 102
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is
overwhelmed, and pours out his
complaint before hwhy.
1 Hear my prayer, O hwhy, and let my
cry come to you.
2 Hide not your face from me in the day
when I am in trouble; incline your ear to
me: in the day when I call answer me
speedily.
3 For my days are consumed like
smoke, and my bones are burned as a
hearth.
4 My heart is smitten, and withered like
grass; so that I forget to eat my lechem
(bread).
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning
my bones cleave to my skin.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I
am like an owl of the desert.
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone
upon the house top.
8 My enemies reproach me all the day;
and they that are mad against me are
sworn against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like lechem
(bread), and mingled my drink with

you off, means killed and sent to judgment so

1029
weeping,
10 Because of your indignation and
your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and
cast me down.
11 My days are like a shadow that
declines; and I am withered like grass.
12 But you, O hwhy, shall endure
forever; and your remembrance to all
generations.
13 You shall arise, and have mercy
upon Tsiyon: for the time to favour her,
yes, the set time, has come.
14 For your servants take pleasure in
her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
15 So the nations shall fear the name of
hwhy, and all the kings of the earth your
glory.
16 When hwhy shall rebuild Tsiyon, he
shall appear in his glory.2
17 He will regard the prayer of the
destitute, and not despise their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the
generation to come: and the people who
shall be created shall praise hwhy.3
19 For he has looked down from the
height of his sanctuary; from shamayim
(heavens) did hwhy behold the earth;
20 To hear the crying of those held
captive; to loosen those that are the sons
of death;4
21 To declare the name of hwhy in
Tsiyon, and his praise in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem);
22 When the people are gathered
together, and the kingdoms, to serve
hwhy.
2 This began on May 15, 1948 and is being fulfilled
in our days, which is a compulsory requirement for
the Messiah to return back to the earth (Acts
3:21).
3 This is in reference to the final generation.
4 Please see our footnotes in Ezek 37 to illustrate
how the House of Israel will be brought out of
She’ol.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
23 He weakened my strength in the
way; he shortened my days.
24 I said, O my El (Power), take me not
away in the midst of my days: your years
are throughout all generations.
25 Of old have you laid the foundation
of the earth: and the shamayim (heavens)
are the work of your hands.
26 They shall perish, but you shall
endure: yes, all of them shall wax old like
a garment; as a vesture shall you change
them, and they shall be changed:
27 But you are the same, and your
years shall have no end.
28 The children of your servants shall
continue, and their seed shall be
established before you.
Psalm 103
A Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 Bless hwhy, O my soul: and all that is
within me, bless his Set-Apart name.
2 Bless hwhy, O my soul, and forget not
all his benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities; who
heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeems your life from
destruction; who crowns you with loving-
kindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good
things; so that your youth is renewed like
the eagle's.
6 hwhy executes righteousness and
right-ruling for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Musa
(Moses), his acts to the children of
Yah’sar’el (Israel).
8 hwhy is merciful and gracious, slow to
anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always accuse: neither will
he keep his anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us after our
sins; nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities.
11 For as the shamayim (heavens) is
high above the earth, so great is his
mercy toward them that fear him.
1030
12 As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions
from us.1
13 Like as a father pities his children, so
hwhy pities them that fear him.
14 For he knows what we are made of;
he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as
a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is
gone; and the place thereof shall know it
no more.
17 But the mercy of hwhy is from
everlasting to everlasting upon them that
fear him, and his righteousness to
children's children;
18 To those that guard his covenant,
and to those that remember his
commandments to do them.2
19 hwhy has prepared his throne in the
shamayim (heavens); and his kingdom
rules over all.
20 Bless hwhy, his heavenly
messengers that excel in strength, that
do his commandments, hearkening to the
voice of his word.
21 Bless hwhy, all you his armies; you
messengers of his that do his pleasure.
22 Bless hwhy, all his works in all
places of his dominion: bless hwhy, O my
soul.
Psalm 104

shamayim (heavens) like a curtain:1
3 Who lays the beams of his chambers
in the waters: who makes the clouds his
chariot:2 who walks upon the wings of the
wind:
4 Who makes his heavenly messengers
the winds; his heavenly messengers a
flaming fire:3
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth,
that it should not be removed forever.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a
garment: the waters stood above the
mountains.
7 At your rebuke they fled; at the voice
of your thunder they hasted away.
8 They go up by the mountains; they go
down by the valleys to the place which
you have founded for them.
9 You have set a bound that they may
not pass over; that they turn not again to
cover the earth.
10 He sends the springs into the
valleys, which run among the hills.
11 They give drink to every beast of the
field: the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 By them shall the fowls of the
shamayim (heavens) have their
habitation, which sing among the
branches.
13 He waters the hills from his
chambers: the earth is satisfied with the

for cloud is Ab but spelt ayin and bet while the
word for father is Alef plus bet. This hints at
establishing His judgment through the fathers of

allegorically speaking vehicles to reveal His ways
and His laws.

fruit of your works.
14 He cause the grass to grow for the
cattle, and herb for the service of man:
that he may bring forth food out of the
earth;
15 And wine that makes glad the heart
of man, and oil to make his face to shine,
and lechem (bread) which strengthens
man's heart.
16 The etzim (trees) of hwhy are full of
sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has
planted;
17 Where the birds make their nests: as
for the stork, the fir etzim (trees) are her
house.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the
wild goats; and the rock badgers find
safety in the cliffs.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons:
the sun knows his going down.
20 You make darkness, and it is night:
when all the beasts of the forest do prowl
around.
21 The young lions roar after their prey,
and seek their food from El (The Power).
22 The sun arises, they gather
themselves together, and lay them down
in their dens.
23 Man goes forth to his work and to his
labour until the evening.
24 O hwhy, how manifold are your
works! In wisdom have you made them
all: the earth is full of your riches.
25 So is this great and wide sea, where
teems of innumerable creatures swim,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships: there is that
leviathan, which you have made to play
therein.4
27 These wait all upon you; that you
may give them their food in due season.

troubled: you took away their breath; they
die, and return to their dust.
30 You send forth your Ruach (Spirit),
they are created: and you renew the face
of the earth.
31 The glory of hwhy shall endure
forever: hwhy shall rejoice in his works.
32 He looks on the earth, and it
trembles: he touches the mountains, and
they smoke.
33 I will sing to hwhy as long as I live: I
will sing praise to my Elohim while I have
my being.
34 My meditation of him shall be sweet:
I will be glad in hwhy.

the earth, and let the wicked be no more.
Bless you the hwhy, O my soul. Praise
you hwhy.
Psalm 105
1 O give thanks to hwhy; call upon his
name: make known his deeds among the
people.
2 Sing to him, sing psalms to him: talk
of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory in his Set-Apart name: let the
heart of them rejoice that seek hwhy.
4 Seek hwhy and his strength: seek his
face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that
he has done; his wonders, and the
judgments of his mouth;
6 O you seed of Abraham his servant,
you children of Ya’acob (Jacob) his
chosen.
7 He is hwhy our Elohim: his judgments
are in all the earth.
8 He has remembered his covenant
forever, the word which he commanded
to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with
Abraham and his oath to Yahsac (Isaac);
10 And confirmed the same to Ya’acob
(Jacob) for a law, and to Yah’sar’el
1032
(Israel) for an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, to you will I give the land of
Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in
number; yes, very few, and strangers in
it.
13 When they went from one nation to
another, from one kingdom to another
people;
14 He permitted no man to do them
wrong: yes, he reproved kings for their
sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not my anointed, and
do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine
upon the land: he broke the whole staff of
lechem (bread).
17 He sent a man before them, even
Yosef, who was sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with chains: he
was laid in iron:
19 Until the time that his word came: the
word of hwhy tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even
the ruler of the people, and let him go
free.
21 He made him master of his house,
and ruler of all his substance:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure;
and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Yah’sar’el (Israel) also came into
Mitzrayim (Egypt); and Ya’acob (Jacob)
sojourned in the land of Cham (Ham).
24 And he increased his people greatly;
and made them stronger than their
enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his
people, to deal subtly with his servants.
26 He sent Musa (Moses) his servant;
and Aharon whom he had chosen.
27 They showed his signs among them,
and wonders in the land of Cham (Ham).
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
and they did not rebel against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood,
and slew their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in
 Tehillim (Psalms)
abundance, in the chambers of their
kings.
31 He spoke, and there came swarms
of flies, and Gnats in all their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and
flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their
fig etzim (trees); and broke the etzim
(trees) of their coasts.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and
caterpillars and that without number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their
land, and devoured the fruit of their
ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in
their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with
silver and gold: and there was not one
feeble person among their tribes.1
38 Mitzrayim (Egypt) was glad when
they departed: for the fear of them fell
upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering;
and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought
quails, and satisfied them with the lechem
(bread) of shamayim (heavens).
41 He opened the rock, and the waters
gushed out; they ran in the dry places like
a river.
42 For he remembered his Set-Apart
promise, and Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with
joy, and his chosen with gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the
nations: and they inherited the labour of
the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes,
and keep his Torot. Praise you hwhy.

used to built the tabernacle furniture and no one
got sick in the 40 years journey.

Psalm 106
1 Praise you hwhy. O give thanks to
hwhy; for he is good: for his mercy
endures forever.
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of
hwhy? Who can show forth all his
praise?
3 Blessed are they that keep right-
ruling, and he that does righteousness at
all times.
4 Remember me, O hwhy, with the
favour that you bear to your people: O
visit me with your deliverance;
5 That I may see the good of your
chosen that I may rejoice in the gladness
of your nation that I may glory with your
inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our ahvot
(fathers), we have committed iniquity, and
we have done wickedly.
7 Our ahvot (fathers) understood not
your wonders in Mitzrayim (Egypt); they
remembered not the multitude of your
mercies; but provoked him at the sea,
even at the Sea of Reeds.2
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his
name's sake, that he might make his
mighty power to be known.
9 He rebuked the Sea of Reeds also,
and it was dried up: so he led them
through the depths, as through the
wilderness.
10 And he saved them from the hand of
him that hated them, and redeemed them
from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the waters covered their
enemies: there was not one of them left.
12 Then believed they his words; they
2 The Hebrew word used is not Red Sea but Yam
Suph, which means Sea of Reeds or a large body
of salted water. We can reconcile this usage with
Moses’s account of Num 14:25 and Deut 1:40 of
the Sea of Reeds. The two places suggested are
Gulf of Suez or the Gulf of Aqaba. We will suggest
Jabal Al Musa as the mountain of Elohim and Gulf
of Aqaba as the crossing point.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
sang his praise.
13 They soon forgot his works; they
waited not for his counsel:
14 But lusted exceedingly in the
wilderness, and tempted El (The Power)
in the desert.
15 And he gave them their request; but
then sent a plague into the camp.
16 They envied Musa (Moses) also in
the camp, and Aharon the Yah’sar’elite
Kedoshim saint of hwhy.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up
Dathan, and covered the company of
Abiram.1
18 And a fire was kindled in their
company; the flame burned up the
wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and
worshipped the molten image.
20 Thus they changed their glory into
the similitude of an ox that eats grass.
21 They forgat El (The Power) their
saviour, which had done great things in
Mitzrayim (Egypt);
22 Wondrous works in the land of Cham
(Ham), and terrible things by the Sea of
Reeds.
23 Therefore he said that he would
destroy them, had not Musa (Moses) his
chosen stood before him in the breach, to
turn away his wrath, lest he should
destroy them.
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant
land, they believed not his word:
25 But murmured in their tents, and
hearkened not to the voice of hwhy.
26 Therefore he lifted up his hand
against them, to overthrow them in the
wilderness:
27 To overthrow their seed also among
the nations, and to scatter them in the
lands.
1 This is described in Num 16:30, these rebelled
against Moses and the Torah that he brought from
YHWH.
1034
28 They joined themselves also to Baal-
peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger
with their inventions: and the plague
broke in upon them.
30 Then Phinehas stood up, and
executed right-ruling: and so the plague
was stopped.
31 And that was counted to him for
righteousness to all generations
forevermore.
32 They angered him also at the waters
of strife, so that it went ill with Musa
(Moses) for their sakes:
33 Because they provoked his Ruach
(Spirit), so that he spoke rashly with his
lips.
34 They did not destroy the nations,
concerning whom hwhy commanded
them:
35 But were mingled among the
nations, and learned their works.
36 And they served their idols: which
were a snare to them.
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and
their daughters to demons,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the
blood of their sons and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of
Canaan: and the land was polluted with
blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own
works, and went whoring with their own
inventions.
40 Therefore was the wrath of hwhy
kindled against his people, insomuch that
he despised his own inheritance.
41 And he gave them into the hand of
the nations; and they that hated them
ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection
under their hand.
43 Many times did he deliver them; but
they provoked him with their counsel, and
were brought low for their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless he regarded their
 Tehillim (Psalms)
affliction, when he heard their cry:
45 And he remembered for them his
covenant, and relented according to the
multitude of his mercies.
46 He made them also to be pitied of all
those that carried them captives.
47 Save us, O hwhy our Elohim, and
gather us from among the nations, to give
thanks to your Set-Apart name, and to
triumph in your praise.
48 Blessed be hwhy Elohim of
Yah’sar’el (Israel) from everlasting to
everlasting: and let all the people say,
Amein. Praise you hwhy.
Psalm 107
1 O give thanks to hwhy, for he is good:
for his mercy endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of hwhy say so,
whom he has redeemed from the hand of
the enemy;
3 And gathered them out of the lands,
from the east, and from the west, from
the north, and from the south.1
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a
solitary way; they found no city to dwell
in.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted
in them.
6 Then they cried to hwhy in their
trouble, and he delivered them out of their
distresses.
7 And he led them forth by the right way
that they might go to a city of habitation.
1 Interestingly, the word used for South (min-nay
yam) in Hebrew is for Seas not south. We need to
understand in those days nobody knew the earth is
formed as it is that the Southern hemisphere was
mostly water and that most of the land masses are
North of the equator; only YHWH could have
known the Southern hemisphere is water. East,
West and North are the Northern hemisphere
whereas Sea is the South because that’s where the
major oceans are. So we have picture of the entire
sphere of the earth. This proves that the author of
the Scripures is Elohim Himself.

8 Oh that men would praise hwhy for
his goodness, and for his wonderful
works to the children of men!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and
fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10 Such as sit in darkness and in the
shadow of death, being bound in affliction
and iron;
11 Because they rebelled against the
words of El (The Power), and rebelled
against the counsel of the most High:
12 Therefore he brought down their
heart with labour; they fell down, and
there was none to help.
13 Then they cried to hwhy in their
trouble, and he saved them out of their
distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness
and the shadow of death, and tore of their
shackles.
15 Oh that men would praise hwhy for
his goodness, and for his wonderful
works to the children of men!
16 For he has broken the gates of
brass, and cut the bars of iron in two.
17 Fools because of their transgression,
and because of their iniquities, are
afflicted.
18 Their soul abhors all manner of food;
and they draw near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cry to hwhy in their
trouble, and he saves them out of their
distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their
destructions.2
21 Oh that men would praise hwhy for
his goodness, and for his wonderful
works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices
of thanksgiving, and declare his works
with rejoicing.

ships, that do business in great waters;1
24 These see the works of hwhy, and
his wonders in the deep.
25 For he commands, and raises the
stormy wind, which lifts up the waves
thereof.
26 They Mount up to the shamayim
(heavens), they go down again to the
depths: their soul is melted because of
trouble.
27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like
a drunk man, and are at their wits' end.
28 Then they cry to hwhy in their
trouble, and he brings them out of their
distresses.
29 He clams the storm, so that the
waves are still.2
30 Then are they glad because they be
quiet; so he brings them to their desired
haven.
31 Oh that men would praise hwhy for
his goodness, and for his wonderful
works to the children of men!
32 Let them exalt him also in the
congregation of the people, and praise
him in the assembly of the elders.
33 He turns rivers into a wilderness, and
the springs into dry ground;
34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the
wickedness of them that dwell there.
35 He turns the wilderness into a
standing mayim (water), and dry ground
into springs.
36 And there he makes the hungry to
dwell, that they may prepare a city for
habitation;

vineyards, which may yield fruits of

increase.
38 He blesses them also, so that they
are multiplied greatly; and permits not
their cattle to decrease.
39 When they are diminished and
brought low through oppression, affliction,
and sorrow.
40 He pours contempt upon princes,
and causes them to wander in the
wilderness, where there is no way.
41 Yet sets he the poor on high from
affliction, and makes him families like a
flock.
42 The righteous shall see it, and
rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her
mouth.
43 Whoever is wise, and will observe
these things, even they shall understand
the loving-kindness of hwhy.
Psalm 108
A Song or Psalm of Dawud (David).
1 O Elohim, my heart is fixed; I will sing
and give praise, even with my glory.
2 Awake, harp and lyre: I myself will
awake early.
3 I will praise you, O hwhy, among the
people: and I will sing praises to you
among the nations.
4 For your mercy is great above the
shamayim (heavens): and your truth
reaches to the clouds.
5 Be you exalted, O Elohim, above the
shamayim (heavens): and your glory
above all the earth;
6 That your beloved may be delivered:
save with your right hand, and answer
me.
7 Elohim has spoken in his set-
apartness; I will rejoice, I will divide
Shechem, and mete out the valley of
Succoth.

cast us off? And will not you, O Elohim,
go forth with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is
the help of man.
13 Through Elohim we shall do
valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down
our enemies.
Psalm 109
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David).2
1 Hold not your shalom (peace), O
Elohim of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the
mouth of the deceitful are opened against
me: they have spoken against me with a
lying tongue.
3 They surrounded me with words of
hatred; and fought against me without a
cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries:
but I give myself to prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for
good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set a wicked man over him: and let
Shaitan (Satan) stand at his right hand.3
7 When he shall be judged, let him be
condemned: and let his prayer become
sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another
take his office.

10 Let his children be continually
vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their
lechem (bread) also out of their desolate
places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he
has; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to
him: neither let there be any to favour his
fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the
generation following let their name be
blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his ahvot (fathers)
be remembered with hwhy; and let not
the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before hwhy continually,
that he may cut off the memory of them
from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to
show mercy, but persecuted the poor and
needy man, that he might even slay the
broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to
him: as he delighted not in blessing, so
let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing
like as with his garment, so let it come
into his bowels like mayim (water), and
like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him as the garment which
covers him, and for a girdle wherewith he
is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of my
adversaries from hwhy, and of them that
speak evil against my soul.
21 But you, O Master Hwhy, for your
name's sake deliver me: because your
mercy is good.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my
heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it
declines: I am tossed up and down as the
locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting;
and my flesh fails of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach to them:
 Tehillim (Psalms)
when they looked upon me they shake
their heads.
26 Help me, O hwhy my Elohim: O save
me according to your mercy:
27 That they may know that this is your
hand; that you, hwhy, have done it.
28 Let them curse, but you bless: when
they arise, let them be ashamed; but let
your servant rejoice.
29 Let my adversaries be clothed with
shame, and let them cover themselves
with their own confusion, as with a
mantle.
30 I will greatly praise hwhy with my
mouth; yes, I will praise him among the
multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand
of the poor, to save him from those that
condemn his soul.

1 Praise you hwhy. I will praise the
hwhy with my whole heart, in the
assembly of the upright, and in the
congregation.
2 The works of hwhy are great, sought
out of all them that have pleasure in
them.
3 His work is honourable and glorious:
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made his wonderful works to
be remembered: hwhy is gracious and
full of compassion.
5 He has given food to them that fear
him: he will ever be mindful of his
covenant.4
6 He has showed his people the power
of his works, that he may give them the
heritage of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are truth and
right-ruling; all his commandments are
sure.
8 They stand fast forever and ever, and
are done in truth and uprightness.

has commanded his covenant forever:

blessed.

house: and his righteousness endures
forever.
4 To the upright there arises light in the
darkness: he is gracious, and full of
compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man shows favour, and lends:
he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved forever:
the righteous shall be in everlasting
remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings:
his heart is fixed, trusting in hwhy.
8 His heart is established, he shall not
be afraid, until he see his desire upon his
enemies.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the
poor; his righteousness endures forever;
his shall be exalted in authority with
honour.

grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth,

5 Who is like to hwhy our Elohim, who
dwells on high,
6 Who humbles himself to behold the
things that are in shamayim (heaven),
and in the earth!
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust,
and lifts the needy out of the dung hill;
8 That he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people.
9 He makes the barren woman to keep
house, and to be a joyful mother of
children. Praise you hwhy.
Psalm 114

Mitzrayim (Egypt), the house of Ya’acob
(Jacob) from a people of strange
language;

one,3 and Yah’sar’el (Israel) his
dominions.4
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Yardan
(Jordan) was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and
the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed you, O you sea, that you
fled? You Yardan (Jordan), that you were
driven back?

rams; and you little hills, like lambs?

your name give glory, for your mercy, and
for your truth's sake.
2 Therefore should the nations say,
Where is now their Elohim?
3 But our Elohim is in the shamayim
(heaven): he has done whatsoever he
has pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the
work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak
not: they have eyes, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not:
they have noses, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not:
they have feet, but they walk not: neither
speaks they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like to them;
so is every one that trusts in them.
9 O Yah’sar’el (Israel), trust in hwhy: he
is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aharon, trust in the
hwhy: he is their help and their shield.
11 You that fear hwhy, trust in the
hwhy: he is their help and their shield.
12 hwhy has been mindful of us: he will
bless us; he will bless the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel); he will bless the house
of Aharon.
13 He will bless them that fear hwhy,
both small and great.
14 hwhy shall increase you more and
more, you and your children.
15 You are blessed of hwhy, which
made shamayim (heaven) and earth.
16 The shamayim (heavens), even the
shamayim (heavens), are the hwhy's: but
the earth has he given to the children of
men.

forth and forevermore. Praise hwhy.

my voice and my supplications.

me, therefore will I call upon him as long
as I live.
3 The sorrows of death surround me,
and the pains of She’ol got hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.

O hwhy, I beseech you, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is hwhy, and righteous; yes,
our Elohim is merciful.
6 hwhy preserves the simple: I was
brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul; for
hwhy has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For you have delivered my soul from
death, my eyes from tears, and my feet
from falling.
9 I will walk before hwhy in the land of
the living.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I
was greatly afflicted:

alphabet that is Alef to Tav, which depicts the
Messiah as he is the Alef and the Tav. 22 sections

56 This I had, because I kept your
precepts.
Kheth
57 You are my portion, O hwhy: I have
said that I would keep your words.
58 I seek your favour with my whole
heart: be merciful to me according to your
word.
59 I thought on my ways, and turned my
feet to your testimonies.
60 I made haste, and delayed not to
keep your commandments.
61 The bands of the wicked have
robbed me: but I have not forgotten your
law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks
to you because of your righteous
judgments.
63 I am a companion of all them that
fear you, and of them that keep your
precepts.
64 The earth, O hwhy, is full of your
mercy: teach me your statutes.
Tet
65 You have dealt well with your
servant, O hwhy, according to your word.
66 Teach me good right-ruling and
knowledge: for I have believed your
commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray:
but now have I kept your word.
68 You are good, and do good; teach
me your statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against
me: but I will keep your precepts with my
whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I
delight in your Torah.
71 It is good for me that I have been
1044
afflicted; that I might learn your statutes.
72 The Torah of your mouth is better to
me than thousands of gold and silver.
Yud
73 Your hands has made me and
fashioned me: give me understanding,
that I may learn your commandments.
74 They that fear you will be glad when
they see me; because I have hoped in
your word.
75 I know, O hwhy, that your judgments
are right, and that you in faithfulness
have afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray you, your merciful
kindness be for my comfort, according to
your word to your servant.
77 Let your tender mercies come to me,
that I may live: for your Torah is my
delight.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they
dealt perversely with me without a cause:
but I will meditate in your precepts.
79 Let those that fear you turn to me,
and those that have known your
testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in your
statutes; that I be not ashamed.
Kaph
81 My soul faints for your deliverance:
but I hope in your word.
82 My eyes fail for your word, saying,
When will you comfort me?
83 For I am become like a bottle in the
smoke; yet I do not forget your statutes.
84 How many are the days of your
servant? When will you execute judgment
on them that persecute me?
85 The proud have dug pits for me,
which are not after your Torah.
86 All your commandments are faithful:
they persecute me wrongfully; help you
me.
87 They had almost consumed me upon
earth; but I forsook not your precepts.

88 Quicken me after your loving-
kindness; so shall I keep the testimony of
your mouth.

settled in shamayim (heavens).1
90 Your faithfulness is to all
generations: you have established the
earth, and it abides.
91 They continue this day according to
your ordinances: for all are your servants.
92 Unless your Torah had been my
delight, I should then have perished in my
affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts: for
with them you have revived me.
94 I am your, save me; for I have
sought your precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to
destroy me: but I will consider your
testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection:
but your commandment is exceeding
broad.
Mem
97 O how love I your Torah! It is my
meditation all the day.2
98 You through your commandments
have made me wiser than my enemies:
for they are ever with me.

my teachers: for your testimonies are my
meditation.3

101 I have refrained my feet from every
evil way, that I might keep your word.
102 I have not departed from your
judgments: for you have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my
taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my
mouth!
104 Through your precepts I get
understanding: therefore I hate every
false way.
Nun
105 Your word4 is a lamp to my feet,
and a light to my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep your righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much: revive me,
O hwhy, according to your word.
108 Accept, I beseech you, the freewill
offerings of my mouth, O hwhy, and
teach me your judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand:
yet do I not forget your law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for
me: yet I erred not from your precepts.
111 Your testimonies have I taken as a
heritage forever: for they are the rejoicing
of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform
your statutes always, even to the end.

Elohim.

117 Hold me up, and I shall be safe:
and I will have respect to your statutes
continually.
118 You have trodden down all them
that err from your statutes: for their deceit
is falsehood.
119 You put away all the wicked of the
earth like dross: therefore I love your
testimonies.
120 My flesh trembles for fear of you;
and I am afraid of your judgments.
Ayin
121 I have done right-ruling and justice:
leave me not to my oppressors.
122 Be surety for your servant for good:
let not the proud oppress me.
123 My eyes fail for your deliverance,
and for the word of your righteousness.
124 Deal with your servant according to
your mercy, and teach me your statutes.
125 I am your servant; give me
understanding, that I may know your
testimonies.
126 It is time for you, hwhy, to work: for
they have made void your Torah.1
127 Therefore I love your
commandments above gold; yes, above
fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem all your
precepts concerning all things to be right;
and I hate every false way.
Peh
129 Your testimonies are wonderful:
therefore does my soul keep them.
130 The entrance of your words gives
light; it gives understanding to the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for
I longed for your commandments.
1 Christendom has to make amends not to void
the Torah as many have done else their end will
be more bitter than their beginning.

132 Look upon me, and be merciful to
me, as you used to do to those that love
your name.
133 Order my steps in your word: and
let not any iniquity have dominion over
me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of
man: so will I keep your precepts.
135 Make your face to shine upon your
servant; and teach me your statutes.
136 Rivers of waters run down my eyes,
because they keep not your Torah.
Tzaddi
137 Righteous are you, O hwhy, and
upright are your judgments.
138 Your testimonies that you have
commanded are righteous and very
faithful.
139 My zeal has consumed me,
because my enemies have forgotten your
words.
140 Your word is very pure: therefore
your servant loves it.
141 I am small and despised: yet I do
not forget your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is an
everlasting righteousness, and your
Torah is the truth.
143 Trouble and anguish have taken
hold of me: yet your commandments are
my delight.
144 The righteousness of your
testimonies is everlasting: give me
understanding, and I shall live.

lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
1 Psalms 120-134 are called ‘The Songs of
Degrees’ (On 15 Steps of the Temple by Hezekiah,
Wrote many psalms and proverbs Isaiah 38:10-20)
He restored the Temple worship(Second Chronicles
29, 2 Kings 18:5, 6). The addition of 15 years to
his life as confirmed by Ahaz’s sun-dial. There
were 15 degrees; there are 15 “songs of degrees”
arranged by Hezekiah in 5 groups of 3 each. Which
were sung while going to temple on 14 steps.
 Tehillim (Psalms)
3 What shall be given to you? Or what
shall be done to you, you false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals
of juniper.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6 My soul has long dwelt with him that
hates shalom (peace).
7 I am for shalom (peace): but when I
speak, they are for war.
Psalm 121
A Song of degrees.
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from
where does my help come from.1
2 My help comes from hwhy, which
made shamayim (heaven) and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be
moved: he that keeps you will not
slumber.
4 Behold, he that keeps Yah’sar’el
(Israel) shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 hwhy is your keeper: hwhy is your
shade upon your right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 hwhy shall preserve you from all evil:
he shall preserve your soul.
8 hwhy shall preserve your going out
and your coming in from this time forth,
and even forevermore.
Psalm 122
A Song of degrees of Dawud (David).

ruling, the thrones of the house of Dawud

Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): they shall
prosper that love you.2
7 Shalom (peace) be within your walls,
and prosperity within your palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions'
sakes, I will now say, Shalom (peace) be
within you.
9 Because of the house of hwhy our
Elohim I will seek your good.
Psalm 123
A Song of degrees.
1 To you lift I up my eyes, O you that
dwell in the shamayim (heavens).
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look
to the hand of their masters, and as the
eyes of a female servant are to the hand
of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon
hwhy our Elohim, until he shows favour
to us.
3 Have favour upon us, O hwhy, have
favour upon us: for we are exceedingly
filled with humiliation.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled with the
scorning of those that are at ease, and
with the contempt of the proud.
2 Pray for shalom of Yerushalayim means more
than to pray but also support and assist financially
(Romans 9: 27). Christians should be doing more
of the support as well and not be arguing to give
the land of Israel to the Palestinians which is a sin
while according to the Qur’an Allah gave the land
of Israel to the Jewish nation then why would he
be asking Muslims to then later take the land away
according to Islamic theology would be false. Look
at Sura 17:100-104.

Psalm 124
A Song of degrees of Dawud (David).
1 If it had not been hwhy who was on
our side, now may Yah’sar’el (Israel) say;
2 If it had not been hwhy who was on
our side, when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick,
when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us,
the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over
our soul.
6 Blessed be hwhy, who has not given
us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul escaped as a bird out of the
snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken,
and we escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of hwhy, who
made shamayim (heaven) and earth.

1 They that trust in hwhy shall be as
Mount Tsiyon, which cannot be removed,
but abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), so hwhy is
around his people from henceforth even
forever.
3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest
upon the lot of the righteous; lest the
righteous put forth their hands to iniquity.
4 Do good, O hwhy, to those that be
good, and to them that are upright in their
hearts.
5 As for such as turn aside to their
crooked ways, hwhy shall lead them forth
with the workers of iniquity: but shalom
(peace) shall be upon Yah’sar’el (Israel).
Psalm 126
A Song of degrees.
1 When hwhy turned back the captivity
of Tsiyon, we were like them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with
laughter, and our tongue with singing:
then they said among the nations, hwhy

has done great things for them.
3 hwhy has done great things for us; in
which we are glad.
4 Turn back our captivity, O hwhy, as
the streams in the south.
5 Those that sow in tears shall reap in
joy.
6 He that goes forth and weeps, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless come
again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves
with him.
Psalm 127
A Song of degrees for Sul’ahmon
(Solomon).
1 If hwhy does not build the house, its
builders labour in vain: if hwhy does not
guard the city, the watchman has stayed
awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit
up late, to eat the lechem (bread) of
sorrows: for so he gives his beloved
sleep.
3 Lo, children are a heritage of hwhy:
and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

full of them:1 they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the enemies in

Psalm 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat
down, yes, we wept, when we
remembered Tsiyon.
2 We hung our lyres upon the willows in
the midst thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away
captive asked us to sing a song; and they
that plundered us for rejoicing, saying,

cross over.

Edom in the day of Yerushalayim

Psalm 139
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Dawud
(David).
1 O hwhy, you have searched me, and
known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my
rising up, you understand my thoughts
even from afar off.
3 You observe my path and my lying
down, and are acquainted with all my
ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue,
but, lo, O hwhy, you know it altogether.
5 You have closed me in behind and
before, and laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for
me; it is high, I cannot attain to it.
7 Where shall I go from your Ruach
(Spirit)? Or where shall I flee from your
face?
8 If I ascend up into shamayim
(heavens), you are there: if I make my
bed in She’ol, behold, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and
dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

and your right hand shall hold me.

cover me; even the night shall be light
about me.
12 Yes, the darkness does not hide

from you; but the night shines as the day:
the darkness and the light are both alike
to you.
13 For you have possessed my reins:
you have covered me in my mother's
womb.
14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made: marvellous are
your works; and that my soul knows right
well.
15 My substance was not hid from you,
when I was made in secret, and curiously
knit together1 in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw me inside the womb,
and all the days ordained for me were
written in your scroll before they even
began.2
17 How precious also are your thoughts
to me, O El (Power)! How great is the
sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more
in number than the sand: when I awake, I
am still with you.
19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O
Elohim: depart from me therefore, you
bloody men.
20 For they speak against you wickedly,
and your enemies take your name in
vain.
21 Do I not hate them, O hwhy, that
hate you? And am not I grieved with
those that rise up against you?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I
count them my enemies.

together for war.

cords; they have spread a net by the

4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing,
to practice wicked works with men that
work iniquity: and let me not eat of their
delicacies.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be
a kindness: and let him reprove me; it
shall be an excellent oil, which shall not
break my head: for yet my prayer also

should walk; for I lift up my soul to you.

enemies: I flee to you to hide me.

Solomon wrote 3,000 (1 Kings 4:32) and

Wisdom and instructions are idioms for receiving
the Torah. We find this correlates here in the
Torah of Moses. Proverbs 1:3 reveals hidden
wisdom because it gives us three drash
(allegorical) and the remez (hint) interpretations
for the Akhad unity of Elohim.
The term “instruction of wisdom” is related to
receiving Torah, if you don’t receive Torah then
you don’t receive Elohim. Let us explain further, if
you reject the Sabbath on Friday sundown to
Saturday sundown then you have rejected the
Father because the commandment was issued by
Him through the Son. By rejecting one you have
rejected the other.
The hidden symbols in Proverbs 1:3
Justice - The Father
Judgment - The Son upon His return
Wisdom - Ruach Ha Kodesh (The Holy Spirit)
When the Son Yahushua returns He will judge the
whole world and the book used to judge everyone
would be “The Torah of Moses and it will be 100%
justice meaning the character of the Father
because His throne is set upon Righteousness and
Justice. Yahuweh is not going to judge people

wisdom, and apply your heart to
understanding;

lift up your voice for understanding;
4 If you seek her as silver, and search
for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shall you understand the fear of
hwhy, and find the knowledge of Elohim.
6 For hwhy gives wisdom: out of his
mouth comes knowledge and

7 He lays up sound wisdom for the
righteous: he is a buckler to them that
walk uprightly.
8 He guards the paths of right-ruling,
and preserves the way of his Yah’sar’elite

the perversities of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked, and they

16 To deliver you from the strange
woman, even from the foreigner which
flatters with her words;
17 Which forsakes the guide of her

death, and her paths to the dead.

heart.

abide not in her house:

streets, and lies in wait at every corner.

and with an impudent face said to him,

diligently to seek your face, and I have
found you.

eyes of him that has it: wherever it turns,
it prospers.
9 He that covers a transgression seeks
love; but he that repeats a matter
separates close friends.
10 A reproof enters more into a wise
man than a hundred stripes into a fool.
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion:
therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent
against him.3
12 Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a

22 A merry heart does good like a

the bones.
23 A wicked man takes a gift out of the
bosom to pervert the ways of right-ruling.
24 Wisdom is before him that has
understanding; but the eyes of a fool are
in the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father,
and bitterness to her that bare him.
26 Also to punish the righteous is not
good, nor to strike princes for equity.
27 He that has knowledge spares his
words: and a man of understanding is of
an excellent ruach (spirit).
28 Even a fool, when he holds his
shalom (peace), is counted wise: and he
that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of

Chapter 18

reproach.
4 The words of a man's mouth are as
deep waters, and the wellspring of

14 The ruach (spirit) of a man will
sustain his infirmity; but a wounded ruach

knowledge, it is not good; and he that
hastens with his feet sins.
3 The foolishness of man perverts his
way: and his heart frets against hwhy.
4 Wealth makes many friends; but the
poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not be
unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall
not escape.2
6 Many will entreat the favour of the
prince: and every man is a friend to him
that gives gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poor do hate
him: how much more do his friends go far
from him? He pursues promises, yet they
are gone.
8 He that gets wisdom loves his own
soul: he that guards understanding shall
find good.
9 A false witness shall not be
1 Certainly having a good wife is a real favour from
YHWH, while having a bad wife may not be a
disfavor but to teach the man of Adonai a lesson.
Pray for a good wife and seek Him for the one you
should marry including women seeking good
husband’s also.
2 Even if a believer lies against another believer
YHWH will indeed punish him in the kingdom to
come, he shall not escape. The punishment can be
in many forms, stripes, losing rewards and for
severe disobedience can even be losing the first
resurrection to be given the second resurrection
instead.

unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall
perish.3
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much
less for a servant to have rule over
princes.
11 The man’s prudence defers his
anger; and it is his glory to overlook an
offense.
12 The king's wrath is as the roaring of
a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the
grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his
father: and the contentions of a wife are a
continual dropping.4
14 House and riches are the inheritance
of ahvot (fathers): and a prudent wife is
from hwhy.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep;
and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He that guards the commandment
guards his own soul; but he that despises
his ways shall die.
17 He that has pity upon the poor lends
to hwhy; and that which he has given will
he pay him again.5
18 Chasten your son while there is
hope, and let not your soul spare for his
crying.
19 A man of great anger shall suffer
penalty: for if you deliver him, yet you
must do it again.
20 Hear counsel, and receive
instruction, that you may be wise in your
latter end.
3 In the case of a believer the Holy One can take
his earthly life and kill him though he does not lose
his salvation. If you have done this then its time
for you to repent!
4 We need to learn to deal with a rebellious wife in
love, it may be better to separate for a time
because otherwise it will be a continual dripping
and that will destroy the peace in the home.
5 To give to the poor is a real blessing but do not
be judgmental to look at what religion he is first.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
21 There are many devices in a man's
heart; nevertheless the counsel of hwhy
that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness:
and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of hwhy tends to life: and
he that has it shall abide satisfied; he
shall not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hides his hand in his
bosom, and will not so much as bring it to
his mouth again.
25 Smite a scorner and the simple will
beware: and reprove one that has
understanding, and he will understand
knowledge.
26 He that wastes his father, and
chases away his mother, is a son that
causes shame, and brings reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear the
instruction that cause to err from the
words of knowledge.
28 A witness of Beliyaal scorns right-
ruling: and the mouth of the wicked
devours iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners
and stripes for the back of fools.
Chapter 20
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a
brawler: and whosoever goes astray by
them is not wise.1
2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of
a lion: whoso provokes him to anger sins
against his own soul.
3 It is an honour for a man to cease
from strife: but every fool quarrels.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason
of the cold; therefore shall he beg in
harvest, and have nothing.
1 Although both wine and strong drinks such as
whiskey are allowed but if you drink excessively
without due diligence then you will likely become a
brawler and a mocker so caution must be
exercised when drinking.
1081
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like
deep mayim (water); but a man of
understanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaim every one his
own goodness: but who can find a faithful
man?
7 The righteous man walks in his
integrity: his children are blessed after
him.
8 A king that sits in the throne of right-
ruling scatters away all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, I have made my heart
clean, I am pure from my sin?
10 Different weights, and different
measures,2 both of them alike
abomination to hwhy.
11 Even a child is known by his doings,
whether his work is pure, and whether it
is right.
12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye,
hwhy has made even both of them.
13 Love not sleep, lest you come to
poverty; open your eyes, and you shall be
satisfied with lechem (bread).
14 It is worthless, it is worthless, says
the buyer: but when he is gone his way,
then he boasts.3
15 There is gold, and a multitude of
rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a
precious jewel.
16 Take his garment that is surety for a
foreigner: and take a pledge of him for a
strange woman.
17 Lechem (bread) of deceit is sweet to
a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be
filled with gravel.
18 Every purpose is established by
counsel: and with good advice make war.
2 This means to measure something unjustly.
3 When a person purchases something he says it is
not worth what the seller is selling for but when
the buyer purchases the product and goes away
then he boasts about how good a bargain he got
by reducing the price.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
19 He that goes about as a talebearer
reveals secrets: therefore meddle not
with him that flatters with his lips.1
20 Whoso curses his father or his
mother, his lamp shall be put out in pitch
darkness.2
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily
at the beginning; but the end thereof shall
not be blessed.
22 Do not say, I will recompense evil;
but wait on hwhy, and he shall save you.
23 Different weights are an abomination
to hwhy; and a false scale is not good.
24 Man's goings are of hwhy; how can
a man then understand his own way?
25 It is a snare to the man who devours
that which is Set-Apart, and after vows to
make enquiry.
26 A wise king scatters the wicked, and
brings the wheel over them.
27 The ruach (spirit) of man is the
candle of hwhy, searching all the inward
parts of the belly.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king:
and his throne is upheld by mercy.
29 The glory of young men is their
strength: and the beauty of old men is the
gray head.
30 The blueness of a wound cleanses
away evil: so do stripes the inward parts
of the belly.
Chapter 21
1 The king's heart is in the hand of
hwhy, as the rivers of mayim (water): he
turns it wherever he will.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own
eyes: but hwhy ponders the hearts.
1 Stay away from these types of people.
2 The one who curses his parents and there are
various ways this can be done, his life is in the
hand of the Holy One of Israel reserved in the pits
of She’ol in solitary confinement. He will cry and
no one will hear him.
1082
3 To do justice and right-ruling is more
acceptable to hwhy than sacrifice.3
4 A proud look, and a proud heart, and
the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only
to plenteousness; but of every one that is
hasty only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying
tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of
them that seek death.
7 The robbery of the wicked shall
destroy them; because they refuse to do
right-ruling.
8 The way of man is perverse and
strange: but as for the pure, his work is
right.
9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the
housetop, than with a brawling woman in
a wide house.
10 The soul of the wicked desires evil:
his neighbour finds no favour in his eyes.
11 When the scorner is punished, the
simple is made wise: and when the wise
is instructed, he receives knowledge.
12 The righteous man wisely considers
the house of the wicked: but Elohim
overthrows the wicked for their
wickedness.
13 Whoso stops his ears at the cry of
the poor, he also shall cry himself, but
shall not be heard.
14 A gift in secret pacifies anger: and a
bribe in the secret strong wrath.
15 It is joy to the just to do right-ruling:
but destruction shall be to the workers of
iniquity.
16 The man that wanders out of the way
of understanding shall remain in the
congregation of the dead.4
3 Judgment and justice of individuals is what we
should strive for to show kindness and mercy to all
people.
4 There are believers like this even amongst the so
called true names camp.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
17 He that loves pleasure shall be a
poor man: he that loves wine and oil shall
not be rich.
18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the
righteous, and the transgressor for the
upright.
19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness,
than with a contentious and an angry
woman.
20 There is treasure to be desired and
oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a
foolish man spends it up.
21 He that follows after righteousness
and mercy finds life, righteousness, and
honour.
22 A wise man scales the city of the
mighty, and casts down the stronghold in
which they trust.
23 Whoso guards his mouth and his
tongue guards his soul from troubles.
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his
name, who deals in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful kills him; for
his hands refuse to labour.
26 He covets greedily all the day long:
but the righteous gives and spares not.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is
abomination: how much more, when he
brings it with a wicked mind?
28 A false witness shall perish: but the
man that reports accurately speaks
constantly.
29 A wicked man hardens his face: but
as for the upright, he directs his way.
30 There is no wisdom nor
understanding nor counsel against hwhy.
31 The horse is prepared against the
day of battle: but safety is of hwhy.
1083
Chapter 22
1 A good name1 is rather to be chosen
than great riches, and loving favour rather
than silver and gold.
2 The rich and poor meet together:
hwhy is the maker of them all.
3 A prudent man foresees the evil, and
hides himself: but the simple pass on,
and are punished.
4 By humility and the fear of the hwhy
are riches, and honour, and life.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of
the perverse: he that guards his soul shall
be far from them.
6 Train up a child in the way he should
go: and when he is old, he will not depart
from it.
7 The rich rules over the poor and the
borrower is servant to the lender.
8 He that sows iniquity shall reap vanity:
and the rod of his anger shall fail.
9 He that has a bountiful eye shall be
blessed; for he gives of his lechem
(bread) to the poor.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention
shall go out; yes, strife and reproach shall
cease.
11 He that loves pureness of heart, for
the grace of his lips the king shall be his
friend.
12 The eyes of hwhy preserve
knowledge, and he overthrows the words
of the transgressor.
13 The slothful man says, There is a
lion outside, I shall be slain in the streets.
14 The mouth of strange women is a
deep pit: he that is despised of hwhy
shall fall therein.
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of
a child; but the rod of correction shall
drive it far from him.
16 He that oppresses the poor to
1 Rabbinically, among the 4 crowns, the crown of
a good name is superior to all. (Avot 4: 17).
 Mishle (Proverbs)
increase his riches, and he that gives to
the rich, shall surely come to want.
17 Bow down your ear, and hear the
words of the wise, and apply your heart to
my knowledge.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep
them within you; they shall be fitted in
your lips.
19 That your trust may be in hwhy, I
have made known to you this day, even
to you.
20 Have not I written to you excellent
things in counsels and knowledge,
21 That I might make you know the
certainty of the words of truth; that you
might answer the words of truth to them
that send to you?
22 Rob not the poor, because he is
poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the
gate:
23 For hwhy will plead their cause, and
spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24 Make no friendship with an angry
man; and with a furious man you shall not
go:
25 Lest you learn his ways, and get a
snare to your soul.
26 Be not you one of them that strike
hands, or puts up security for debts.
27 If you have nothing to pay, why
should he take away your bed from under
you?
28 Remove not the ancient landmark,
which your ahvot (fathers) have set.1
29 Do you see a man skilled in his
business? He shall stand before kings; he
shall not stand before mean men.
1 YHWH wants his people to return to the ancient
ways (Deut 32: 7). The ancient land markers are
our reference points for our forefathers on how to
obey and guard Torah commandments.
1084
Chapter 23
1 When you sits to eat with a ruler,
consider diligently what is before you:
2 And put a knife to your throat, if you
be a man given to appetite.
3 Be not desire his delicacies: for they
are deceitful food.2
4 Do not wear yourself out to be rich: be
wise to restrain yourself.
5 Will you set your eyes upon that
which is not? For riches certainly make
themselves wings; they fly away as an
eagle toward shamayim (heavens).
6 Eat not the lechem (bread) of him that
is stingy,3 neither desire his delicacies:
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he:
Eat and drink, says he to you; but his
heart is not with you.
8 The morsel which you have eaten
shall you vomit up, and lose your sweet
words.
9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he
will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Remove not the old landmark; and
enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11 For their redeemer is mighty; he shall
plead their cause with you.
12 Apply your heart to instruction, and
your ears to the words of knowledge.
13 Withhold not correction from the
child: for if you beat him with the rod, he
shall not die.
14 You shall beat him with the rod, and
shall deliver his soul from She’ol.
15 My son, if your heart be wise, my
heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16 Yes, my reins shall rejoice, when
your lips speak right things.
17 Let not your heart envy sinners: but
be in the fear of hwhy all the day long.
2 Daniel and his friends had this discernment.
3 The term ‘evil eye’ here means to be stingy.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
18 For surely there is an end; and your
expectation shall not be cut off.
19 Hear, my son, and be wise, and
guide your heart in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers; among
riotous eaters of flesh:
21 For the drunk and the glutton shall
come to poverty: and drowsiness shall
clothe a man with rags.
22 Hearken to your father that begat
you, and despise not your mother when
she is old.
23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also
wisdom, and instruction, and
understanding.1
24 The father of the righteous shall
greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise
child shall have joy of him.
25 Your father and your mother shall be
glad, and she that bares you shall rejoice.
26 My son, give me your heart, and let
your eyes observe my ways.
27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a
strange woman is a narrow pit.
28 She also lies in wait as for a prey,
and increases the transgressors among
men.
29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions? Who has
babbling? Who has wounds without
cause? Who has redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they
that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not upon the wine when it is
red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it
moves itself down smoothly.
32 At the last it bites like a serpent, and
stings like a cobra.2
33 Your eyes shall behold strange
women, and your heart shall utter
1 This means to sit with good Torah teachers to
learns the words of Elohim.
2 Restriction on excess of wine.
1085
perverse things.
34 Yes, you shall be as he that lies
down in the midst of the sea, or as he
that lies upon the top of a mast.
35 They have stricken me, shall you
say, and I was not sick; they have beaten
me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I
will seek it yet again.
Chapter 24
1 Be not you envious against evil men,
neither desire to be with them.
2 For their heart studies destruction and
their lips talk of mischief.
3 Through wisdom is a house built; and
by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers
be filled with all precious and pleasant
riches.
5 A wise man is strong; yes, a man of
knowledge increases strength.
6 For by wise counsel you shall make
your war: and in multitude of counsellors
there is safety.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he
opens not his mouth in the gate.
8 He that devises to do evil shall be
called a mischievous person.
9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and
the scorner is an abomination to men.
10 If you weary in the day of adversity,
your strength is small.
11 If you forbear to deliver them that are
drawn to death, and those that are ready
to be slain;
12 If you say, Behold, we knew it not;
does not he that ponders the heart
consider it? And he that guards your soul,
does not he know it? And shall not he
render to every man according to his
works?
13 My son, eat honey, because it is
good; and the honeycomb, which is
sweet to your taste:
14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be
to your soul: when you have found it, then
 Mishle (Proverbs)
there shall be a reward, and your
expectation shall not be cut off.
15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against
the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his
resting place:
16 For a righteous man falls seven
times, and rises up again: but the wicked
shall fall into mischief.
17 Rejoice not when your enemy falls,
and let not your heart be glad when he
stumbles:
18 Lest hwhy see it, and it displease
him, and he turn away his wrath from
him.
19 Fret not yourself because of evil
men, neither be envious at the wicked;
20 For there shall be no reward to the
evil man; the candle of the wicked shall
be put out.
21 My son, fear hwhy and the king: and
meddle not with them that are given to
change:
22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly;
and who knows the ruin of them both?
23 These things also belong to the wise.
It is not good to have respect of persons
in right-ruling.
24 He that says to the wicked, You are
righteous; him shall the people curse,
nations shall abhor him:
25 But to them that rebuke him shall be
delight, and a good blessing shall come
upon them.
26 Every man shall kiss his lips that
gives a right answer.
27 Prepare your work outside, and
make it fit for yourself in the field; and
afterwards build your house.
28 Be not a witness against your
neighbour without cause; and deceive not
with your lips.
29 Say not, I will do so to him as he has
done to me: I will render to the man
1086
according to his work.1
30 I went by the field of the slothful, and
by the vineyard of the man void of
understanding;
31 And, lo, it was all grown over with
thorns, and nettles had covered the face,
and the stone wall was broken down.
32 Then I saw, and considered it well: I
looked upon it, and received instruction.
33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a
little folding of the hands to sleep:
34 So shall your poverty come as a
bandit; and your need as an armed
robber.
Chapter 25
1 These are also proverbs of Sul’ahmon
(Solomon), which the men of Chizqiyahu
(Hezekiah) king of Yahudah (Judah)
copied out.
2 It is the glory of Elohim to conceal a
thing: but the honour of kings is to search
out a matter.2
3 The shamayim (heavens) for height,
and the earth for depth, and the heart of
kings is unsearchable.
4 Take away the dross from the silver,
and there shall come forth a vessel for
the finer.
5 Take away the wicked from before the
king, and his throne shall be established
in righteousness.
6 Put not forth yourself in the presence
of the king, and stand not in the place of
great men:
7 For better it is that it be said to you,
1 Do not repay evil with evil.
2 YHWH hides much truth and wisdom in
scriptures but it is for us to search them out as
kings and priests. D’abar ‫ דבר‬is the Hebrew word
used for both thing and matter which means
Word, that is YHWH conceals (sattar) his Word in
scriptures and if we diligently find it we will be
rewarded with treasures.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
Come up here; than that you should be
put lower in the presence of the prince
whom your eyes have seen.
8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest you
know not what to do in the end thereof,
when your neighbour has put you to
shame.
9 Debate your cause with your
neighbour himself; and discover not a
secret to another:
10 Lest he that hears it put you to
shame, and your infamy turn not away.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of
gold in pictures of silver.
12 As an earring of gold, and an
ornament of fine gold, so is a wise
reprover upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of
harvest, so is a faithful messenger to
them that send him: for he refreshes the
soul of his masters.
14 Whoso boasts himself of a false gift
is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long forbearing is a prince
persuaded, and a soft tongue breaks the
bone.
16 Have you found honey? Eat as much
as is sufficient for you, lest you be filled
therewith, and vomit it.
17 Withdraw your foot from your
neighbour's house; lest he be weary of
you, and so hate you.
18 A man that bears false witness
against his neighbour is like a club, and a
sword, and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in
time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and
a foot out of joint.
20 As he that takes away a garment in
cold weather, and as vinegar on soda, so
is he that sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy be hungry, give him
lechem (bread) to eat; and if he be thirsty,
give him mayim (water) to drink:
22 For you shall heap coals of fire upon
his head, and hwhy shall reward you.
1087
23 The north wind drives away rain: so
does an angry countenance a backbiting
tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of
the housetop, than with a brawling
woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is
good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before
the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and
a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so
for men to search their own glory is not
glory.
28 He that has no rule over his own
ruach (spirit) is like a city that is broken
down, and without walls.
Chapter 26
1 As snow in summer, and as rain in
harvest, so honour is not seemly for a
fool.
2 As the bird by wandering, as the
swallow by flying, so the causeless curse
shall not come to rest.1
3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the
donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.
4 Answer not a fool according to his
folly, lest you also be like to him.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6 He that sends a message by the hand
of a fool cuts off the feet, and drinks
damage.
7 The legs of the lame are not equal: so
is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8 As he that binds a stone in a sling, so
is he that gives honour to a fool.
9 As a thorn goes up into the hand of a
drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of
1 When someone puts a curse upon you and it is
not right to do so because you are innocent then
that curse will not enter your house and will stay in
the house of the one who puts it and can backfire.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
fools.
10 The great Elohim that formed all
things both rewards the fool, and rewards
transgressors.
11 As a dog returns to his vomit, so a
fool returns to his folly.
12 See a man wise in his own conceit?
There is more hope of a fool than of him.
13 The slothful man says, There is a
lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14 As the door turns upon his hinges,
so does the slothful upon his bed.
15 The slothful hides his hand in his
bosom; it grieves him to bring it again to
his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own
conceit than seven men that can render a
reason.
17 He that passes by, and meddles with
strife belonging not to him, is like one that
takes a dog by the ears.
18 As a mad man who casts firebrands,
arrows, and death,
19 So is the man that deceives his
neighbour, and says, Am I not in sport?
20 Where no wood is, there the fire
goes out: so where there is no talebearer,
the strife ceases.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and
wood to fire; so is a contentious man to
kindle strife.
22 The words of a talebearer are as
wounds, and they go down into the
innermost parts of the belly.
23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are
like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24 He that hates dissembles with his
lips, and lays up deceit within him;
25 When he speaks fair, believe him
not: for there are seven abominations in
his heart.
26 Whose hatred is covered by deceit,
his wickedness shall be showed before
the whole congregation.
27 Whoso digs a pit shall fall therein:
and he that rolls a stone, it will return
1088
upon him.
28 A lying tongue hates those that are
afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth
works ruin.
Chapter 27
1 Boast not yourself of tomorrow; for
you know not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise you, and not
your own mouth; a foreigner, and not
your own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand
weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than
them both.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is
outrageous; but who is able to stand
before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret
love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but
the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 The full soul loathes a honeycomb;
but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is
sweet.
8 As a bird that wanders from her nest,
so is a man that wanders from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the
heart: so does the sweetness of a man's
friend by hearty counsel.
10 Your own friend, and your father's
friend, forsake not; neither go into your
brother's house in the day of your
calamity: for better is a neighbour that is
near than a brother far off.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart
glad, that I may answer him that
reproaches me.
12 A prudent man foresees the evil, and
hides himself; but the simple pass on,
and are punished.
13 Take his garment that has given
security for a foreigner, and take a pledge
of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesses his friend with a loud
voice, rising early in the morning, it shall
be counted a curse to him.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
15 A continual dripping in a very rainy
day and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever represses her represses
the wind, or grasps oil with the right hand.
17 Iron sharpens iron; so a man
sharpens the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso guards the fig etz (tree) shall
eat the fruit: so he that waits on his
master shall be honoured.
19 As in mayim (water) face answers to
face, so the heart of man to man.
20 She’ol and destruction are never full;
so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 As the refining pot for silver, and the
furnace for gold; so is a man proved by
his praise.
22 Though you should bray a fool in a
mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet
will not his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be you diligent to know the state of
your flocks, and look well to your herds.
24 For riches are not forever: and does
the crown endure to every generation?
25 The hay appears, and the tender
grass shows itself, and herbs of the
mountains are gathered.
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and
the goats are the price of the field.
27 And you shall have goats' milk
enough for your food, for the food of your
household, and for the maintenance for
your maidens.
Chapter 28
1 The wicked flee when no man
pursues: but the righteous are bold as a
lion.
2 For the transgression of a land many
are the princes: but by a man of
understanding and knowledge the state
shall be prolonged.
3 A poor man that oppresses the poor is
like a sweeping rain which leaves no
food.
4 They that forsake the Torah praise the
wicked: but such as keep the Torah
1089
contend with them.
5 Evil men do not understand right-
ruling: but they that seek hwhy
understand all things.
6 Better is the poor that walks in his
uprightness, than he that is perverse in
his ways, though he is rich.
7 Whoso guards the Torah is a wise
son: but he that is a companion of riotous
men shames his father.
8 He that by usury and unjust gain
increases his substance, he shall gather
it for him that will pity the poor.
9 He that turns away his ear from
hearing the Torah,1 even his prayer shall
be abomination.
10 Whoso causes the righteous to go
astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself
into his own pit: but the upright shall have
good things in possession.
11 The rich man is wise in his own
conceit; but the poor that has
understanding searches him out.
12 When righteous men do rejoice,
there is great glory: but when the wicked
rise, a man is hidden.
13 He that covers his sins shall not
prosper: but whoso confesses and
forsakes them shall have mercy.2
14 Happy is the man that fears always:
but he that hardens his heart shall fall into
misery.3
15 As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear;
so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
1 YHWH wants us hear and obey (Shma) his Torah
the Law of Elohim. The prayers of those who do
not regard the law of Elohim are not heard and are
disregarded.
2 All sins should be confessed and repentance
brings forth relief from Elohim.
3 The man or woman that does not fear the
Elohim of Israel is like a white washed tomb,
worthless in this world and worthless in the next,
they have no reward or eternity.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
16 The prince that wants understanding
is also a great oppressor: but he that
hates covetousness shall prolong his
days.
17 A man that does violence to the
blood of any person shall flee to the pit;
let no man support him.
18 Whoso walks uprightly shall be
saved: but he that is perverse in his ways
shall fall at once.
19 He that tills his land shall have plenty
of lechem (bread): but he that follows
after vain persons shall have poverty
enough.
20 A faithful man shall abound with
blessings: but he that makes haste to be
rich shall not be innocent.
21 To show partiality of persons is not
good: for a piece of lechem (bread) that
man will transgress.
22 The stingy man runs after riches, and
considers not that poverty shall come
upon him.1
23 He that rebukes a man afterwards
shall find more favour than he that flatters
with the tongue.
24 Whoso robs his father or his mother,
and says it is no transgression; the same
is the companion of a destroyer.
25 He that is of a proud heart stirs up
strife: but he that puts his trust in hwhy
shall prosper.
26 He that trusts in his own heart is a
fool: but whoso walks wisely, he shall be
delivered.
27 He that gives to the poor shall not
lack: but he that hides his eyes shall have
many a curse.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide
themselves: but when they perish, the

business and becoming wealthy as long as you are
serving the YHWH Elohim.

righteous increase.
Chapter 29
1 He, that being often reproved hardens
his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed,
and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous are in authority,
the people rejoice: but when the wicked
bears rule, the people mourn.
3 Whoso loves wisdom rejoices his
father: but he that keeps company with
whores destroys his wealth.
4 The king by right-ruling established
the land: but he that receives gifts
overthrows it.
5 A man that flatters his neighbour
spreads a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an evil man
there is a snare: but the righteous does
sing and rejoice.
7 The righteous considers the cause of
the poor: but the wicked regards not to
know it.
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare:
but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contends with a foolish
man, whether he rage or laugh, there is
no rest.
10 The blood thirsty hate the upright:
but the just seek his soul.
11 A fool utters his entire mind: but a
wise man guards it in till afterwards.
12 If a ruler hearkens to lies, all his
servants are wicked.
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet
together: hwhy lightens both their eyes.
14 The king that faithfully judges the
poor, his throne shall be established
forever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom:
but a child left to himself brings his
mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied,
transgression increases: but the
righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct your son and he shall give
 Mishle (Proverbs)
you rest; yes, he shall give delight to your
soul.
18 Where there is no vision, the people
perish: but he that guards the Torah,
happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by
words: for though he understands he will
not answer.
20 See a man that is hasty in his
words? There is more hope of a fool than
for him.
21 He that delicately brings up his
servant from a child shall have him
become his son at the length.
22 An angry man stirs up strife, and a
furious man abounds in transgression.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold the humble in
ruach (spirit).
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hates
his own soul: he hears an oath, and does
not report.
25 The fear of man brings a snare: but
whoso puts his trust in hwhy shall be
safe.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but
every man's right-ruling comes from
hwhy.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to
the righteous: and he that is upright in the
way is abomination to the wicked.
Chapter 30
1 The words of Agur the son of Yakeh,
even the prophecy: the man spoke to
Ithi’el, even to Ithi’el and Ukal,
2 Surely I am more stupid than any
man, and have not the understanding of a
man.
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the
knowledge of the Set-Apart One.
4 Who has ascended up into shamayim
(heavens), or descended? Who has
gathered the wind in his fists? Who has
bound the waters in a garment? Who has
established all the ends of the earth?
1091
What is his name, and what is his son's
name, if you can tell?1
5 Every word of Elohim is pure: he is a
shield to them that put their trust in him.
6 Add not to his words, lest he reprove
you, and you be found a liar.2
7 Two things I ask of you; deny them
not to me before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies:
1 Both the Abbah and His Son carry the same
name, which is YHWH. Yahushua who many call as
Jesus is also the Word and the middle-pillar known
as the Tzadik in Judaism but they do not recognize
Him as Yahushua yet.
2 This term is misunderstood by many people. Add
words does not mean that we cannot make
additional comments or customs to understand
what is already given as Judaism has done but we
need to be careful to what this means. Adding
words here to the effect setting new divine
sanction such as we say that unless you do this
and this you will go to hell would become
problematic and many groups have done just that
including Christendom while Judaism does no such
thing. For instance Christendom made a Trinity in
scripture then put a command around it that if you
do not believe in the man made Trinity you will go
to hell. No such thing is true. This then becomes
divine sanction so the thrust here is not about
whether we should put customs to understand
how to celebrate a feast such as Passover or
Tabernacles but more to do to the point that not
to say something from our mouths that we are
taking the place of the Holy One of Israel and
substituting words already given such as Torah.
The text here needs to be taken with the line
previous which says that Elohim’s words are pure.
This would also mean this that if we set a new
divine sanction saying unless you join our church
you are condemned to the lake of fire that would
be adding words to divine sanction. Many did do
this in the past such as the Catholic Church, the
Mormons, the Jehovah witnesses etc. If you
added customs to the Passover feast like Judah did
that is not adding words nor is it deceiving
because the Passover is real and a feast for us to
celebrate so the context is words in the order of
divine sanction to deceive or condemn people.
 Mishle (Proverbs)
give me neither poverty nor riches; feed
me with food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny you, and say,
Who is hwhy? Or lest I be poor, and
steal, and take the name of my Elohim in
vain.
10 Accuse not a servant to his master,
lest he curse you, and you be found
guilty.
11 There is a generation that curses
their father, and does not bless their
mother.
12 There is a generation that is pure in
its own eyes, and yet is not washed from
their filthiness.
13 There is a generation, O how lofty
are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted
up.1
14 There is a generation, whose teeth
are as swords, and their jaw teeth as
knives, to devour the poor from off the
earth, and the needy from among men.
15 The leach has two daughters, crying,
give, give. There are three things that are
never satisfied, yes; four things say not, it
is enough:
16 She’ol; and the barren womb; the
earth that is not filled with mayim (water);
and the fire that says not, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocks at his father, and
despises to obey his mother, the ravens
of the valley shall pick it out, and the
young eagles shall eat it.
18 There are three things which are too
wonderful for me, yes, four which I know
not:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the
way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of
a ship in the midst of the sea; and the
way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous
woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth,
and says, I have done no wickedness.
1 We are in this generation now.
1092
21 For three things the earth is
trembles, and for four which it cannot
bear:
22 For a servant when he reigns; and a
fool when he is filled with food;
23 For an unloved woman when she is
married; and a handmaid that is heir to
her mistress.
24 There are four things which are little
upon the earth, but they are exceedingly
wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet
they prepare their food in the summer;
26 The rock badgers are a feeble folk,
yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet they go
forth all of them by ranks;
28 The spider takes hold with two
hands, and is in kings' palaces.
29 There are three things which go well,
yes, four are good in walking:
30 A lion which is strongest among
beasts, and turns not away from any;
31 A greyhound; a male goat also; and
a king, against whom there is no rising
up.
32 If you have done foolishly in lifting up
yourself, or if you have thought evil, lay
your hand upon your mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk brings
forth butter, and the wringing of the nose
brings forth blood: so the forcing of wrath
brings forth strife.
Chapter 31
1 The words of King Lemu’el, the
prophecy that his mother taught him.2
2 What, my son? And what, the son of
my womb? And what, the son of my
vows?

This shows us that after her marriage she became

 Mishle (Proverbs)
your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemu’el, it is not
for kings to drink wine; nor for princes to
desire strong drink:
5 Lest they drink, and forget the Torah,
and pervert the right-ruling of any of the
afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him that is
perishing, and wine to those that be of
bitterness of hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the dumb in the
cause of all such as are appointed to
destruction.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and
needy.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For
her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband does
safely trust in her, so that he shall have
no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all
the days of her life.1
13 She seeks wool, and flax, and works
willingly with her hands.2
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she
brings her food from afar.
15 She rises also while it is yet night,
and gives food to her household, and a
portion to her maidens.3
1 A good wife will never want to hurt or harm her
husband even if he has not lived up to her
expectations but a woman who goes out to
destroy her husband, may she be pitied and has
acted against the Holy One’s Torah of showing no
compassion to the one she claimed to love.
2 This is a woman who conducts business and is
an entrepreneur.
3 This is a polygamous household where she is the
head wife and also looks after the second or third
wives of the husband. Biblical polygamy was
common in ancient Israel.
1093
16 She considers a field, and buys it:
with the fruit of her hands she plants a
vineyard.
17 She girds her loins with strength, and
strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise
is good: her candle goes not out by night.
19 She lays her hands to the spindle,
and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretches out her hand to the
poor; yes, she reaches forth her hands to
the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her
household: for all her household are
clothed with scarlet.4
22 She makes herself coverings of
tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
when he sits among the elders of the
land.5
24 She makes fine linen, and sells it;
and delivers girdles to the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her
clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to
come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom;
and in her tongue is the Torah of
kindness.
27 She looks well to the ways of her
household, and eats not the lechem
(bread) of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her
blessed; her husband also, and he
praises her. 6
4 This is a rich household, no wonder the husband
can afford more than one wife.
5 Her husband is an important man perhaps a
politician or an elder in society.

Iyob (Job)
‫איוב‬
The scroll of Iyob (Job)
Chapter 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz,
whose name was Iyob (Job)1; and that
man was perfect and upright, and one that
feared Elohim, and turned away from evil.
2 And there were born to him seven sons
and three daughters.
3 His substance also was seven
thousand sheep, and three thousand
camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen,
and five hundred female donkeys, and a
very great household; so that this man was
the greatest of all the men of the east.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their
houses, every one his day; and sent and
called for their three sisters to eat and to
drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days of their
feasting were gone about, that Iyob (Job)
sent and sanctified them, and rose up early
in the morning, and offered burnt offerings
according to the number of them all: for
Iyob (Job) said, It may be that my sons
have sinned, and cursed Elohim in their
hearts. This did Iyob (Job) continually.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of
1 Iyob was the same man that was advising the
pharaoh of Egypt to kill all the children of Israel and
that is when Moses was born and cast into the
waters while Iyob’s advice was taken up by the King
of Egypt but later Iyob through various trials became
a believer. His story can be read in the book of
Yahshar. This is why he has his friend Eliphaz who
was the son of Esav. Iyob had spent a lot of time in
the company of these men and also with Balaam the
magician and seer. This gives us hope that even
while we were sinners but the Messiah died for our
sins and we can through repentance have a
complete turn around and
Elohim came to present themselves before
hwhy, and Shaitan (Satan)2 came also
among them.
7 And hwhy said to Shaitan (Satan),
where do you come from? Then Shaitan
(Satan) answered hwhy, and said, from
going to and fro in the earth, and from
walking up and down in it.
8 And hwhy said to Shaitan (Satan),
Have you considered my servant Iyob
(Job), that there is none like him in the
earth, a perfect and an upright man,3 one
that fears Elohim, and turns away from
evil?
9 Then Shaitan (Satan) answered hwhy,
and said, Does Iyob (Job) fear Elohim for
nothing?
10 Have you not made a hedge around
him, and around his house, and around all
that he has on every side? you have
blessed the work of his hands, and his
substance is increased in the land.4
11 But put forth your hand now, and
touch all that he has, and he will curse you
to your face.
12 And hwhy said to Shaitan (Satan),
Behold, all that he has is in your power;
only upon himself put not your hand. So
Shaitan (Satan) went forth from the
presence of hwhy.
13 And there was a day when his sons
and his daughters were eating and drinking
wine in their eldest brother's house:
14 And there came a messenger to Iyob
(Job), and said, The oxen were plowing,
and the donkeys feeding beside them:
2 Ha Satan comes from root SAT which means to go
to and fro AND sons of Elohim (Bene Elohim) are
angels.
3 Yahshar-straightforward man He was not always

4 All upright believers have a hedge around them
they have angels guarding them appointed for them
and recording all their deeds both good and bad.

 Job (Iyob)
15 And the Sabeans1 attacked them, and
took them away; yes, they have slain the
servants with the edge of the sword; and I
alone have escaped to tell you.
16 While he was yet speaking, there
came also another, and said, The fire of
Elohim fell from shamayim (heaven), and
has burned up the sheep, and the
servants, and consumed them; and I alone
have escaped to tell you.
17 While he was yet speaking, there
came also another, and said, The
Chaldeans made out three bands, and
attacked the camels, and have carried
them away, yes, and slain the servants
with the edge of the sword; and I alone
have escaped to tell you.
18 While he was yet speaking, there
came also another, and said, Your sons
and your daughters were eating and
drinking wine in their eldest brother's
house:
19 And, behold, there came a great wind
from the wilderness, and smote the four
corners of the house, and it fell upon the
young men, and they are dead; and I alone
have escaped to tell you.
20 Then Iyob (Job) arose, and tore his
mantle, and shaved his head, and fell
down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21 And said, Naked I came out of my
mother's womb, and naked shall I return
there: hwhy gave, and hwhy has taken
away; blessed be the name of hwhy.
22 In all this Iyob (Job) sinned not, nor
charged Elohim foolishly.
Chapter 2
1 Again there was a day when the sons
of Elohim came to present themselves
before hwhy, and Shaitan (Satan) came
also among them to present himself before
hwhy.
2 And hwhy said to Shaitan (Satan),
1 These were the dwellers of Yemen.
1096
From where do you come from? And
Shaitan (Satan) answered hwhy, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth, and
from walking up and down in it.
3 And hwhy said to Shaitan (Satan),
Have you considered my servant Iyob
(Job), that there is none like him in the
earth, a perfect and an upright man, one
that fears Elohim, and turns away from
evil? And still he holds fast his integrity,
although you moved me against him, to
destroy him without cause.
4 And Shaitan (Satan) answered hwhy,
and said, Skin for skin, yes, all that a man
has will he give for his life.
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch
his bone and his flesh, and he will curse
you to your face.
6 And hwhy said to Shaitan (Satan),
Behold, he is in your hand; but save his
life.
7 So Shaitan (Satan) went forth from the
presence of hwhy, and smote Iyob (Job)
with sore boils from the sole of his foot to
the crown of his head.
8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape
himself with it; and he sat down among the
ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, Do you still
retain your integrity? Curse Elohim, and
die.
10 But he said to her, You speak as a
woman without Elohim.2 Shall we receive
good at the hand of Elohim, and shall we
not receive evil? In all this Iyob (Job) did
not sin with his lips.
11 Now when Iyob (Job)'s three friends
heard of all this evil that was come upon
him, they came every one from his own
place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad
the Shuhite, and Tsophar the Naamathite:
for they had made an appointment together
to come to mourn with him and to comfort
2The Hebrew term ‘foolishness’ is to do with one
who is an atheist or does not believe in Elohim.
 Job (Iyob)
him.
12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar
off, and did not recognize him, they lifted
up their voice, and wept; and they tore
every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust
upon their heads toward shamayim
(heaven).
13 So they sat down with him upon the
ground seven days and seven nights, and
none spoke a word to him: for they saw
that his grief was very great.
Chapter 3
1 After this opened Iyob (Job) his mouth,
and cursed his day.
2 And Iyob (Job) spoke, and said,
3 Let the day perish when I was born,
and the night in which it was said, There is
a male child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not Elohim
regard it from above, neither let the light
shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death
stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the
blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness seize
upon it; let it not be joined to the days of
the year, let it not come into the number of
the months.
7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful
voice come from it.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day,
who are ready to raise up their mourning.
9 Let the stars of the twilight there be
dark; let it look for light, but have none;
neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10 Because it shut not up the doors of my
mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from my
eyes.
11 Why did I not die from the womb?
Why did I not give up the ghost when I
came out of the belly?
12 Why did the knees receive me? Or
why the breasts that nursed me?
13 For now should I have lain still and
been quiet, I should have slept: then I
would have been at rest,
1097
14 With kings and counsellors of the
earth, which built desolate places for
themselves;
15 Or with princes that had gold, who
filled their houses with silver:
16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not
been; as infants which never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from
troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together; they
hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there; and the
servant is free from his master.
20 Therefore is light given to him that is in
misery, and life to the bitter in soul;
21 Which long for death, but it comes not;
and dig for it more than for hidden
treasures;
22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are
glad, when they can find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose
way is hid, and whom Elohim has hedged
in?
24 For my sighing comes before I eat,
and my roarings are poured out like the
waters.
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is
come upon me, and that which I was afraid
of is come to me.
26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest,
neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
Chapter 4
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered
and said,
2 If one tries a word with you, will you
become impatient? But who can withhold
himself from speaking?
3 Behold, you have instructed many, and
you have strengthened the weak hands.
4 Your words have upheld him that was
falling, and you have strengthened the
feeble knees.
5 But now it is come upon you, and you
faint; it touches you, and you are troubled.
6 Is this not your fear, your confidence,
your hope, and the uprightness of your
 Job (Iyob)
ways?
7 Remember, I pray you, who ever
perished, being innocent? Or where were
the righteous ever cut off?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow
iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the
same.
9 By the breath of Elohim they perish,
and by the breath of his nostrils are they
consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice
of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the
young lions, are broken.
11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey,
and the lioness' cubs are scattered.
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to
me, and my ear received a little of it.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the
night, when deep sleep falls on men,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling,
which made all my bones to shake.
15 Then a Ruach (Spirit) passed before
my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the
form thereof: an image was before my
eyes, there was silence, and I heard a
voice, saying,
17 Shall mortal man be more righteous
than Elohim? Shall a man be more pure
than his maker?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants;
and his heavenly messengers he charged
with folly:
19 How much less in them that dwell in
houses of clay, whose foundation is in the
dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20 They are destroyed from morning to
evening: they perish forever without any
regarding it.
21 Does not their excellence which is in
them go away? They die, even without
wisdom.
Chapter 5
1 Call now, if there be any that will
answer you; and to which of the
Yah’sar’elite kedoshim (saints) will you
1098
turn?
2 For wrath kills the foolish man and envy
slays the silly one.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but
suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and
they are crushed in the gate, neither is
there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and
takes it even out of the thorns and the
robber swallows up their substance.
6 Although affliction comes not forth of
the dust, neither does trouble spring out of
the ground;
7 Yet man is born to trouble, as the
sparks fly upward.
8 I would seek to the El (Power), and to
Elohim would I commit my cause:
9 Which does great things and
unsearchable; marvellous things without
number:
10 Who gives rain upon the earth, and
sends waters upon the fields:
11 To set up on high those that be low;
that those which mourn may be exalted to
safety.
12 He disappoints the devices of the
crafty, so that their hands cannot perform
their enterprise.
13 He takes the wise in their own
craftiness: and the counsel of the perverse
is carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness in the
daytime, and grope in the noonday as in
the night.
15 But he saves the poor from the sword,
from their mouth, and from the hand of the
mighty.
16 So the poor has hope, and iniquity
stops her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom
Elohim corrects: therefore despise not the
chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he makes sore, and binds up: he
wounds, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver you in six troubles:
yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you.
 Job (Iyob)
20 In famine he shall redeem you from
death: and in war from the power of the
sword.
21 You shall be hid from the scourge of
the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of
destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall
laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the
beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in league with the
stones of the field: and the beasts of the
field shall be at shalom (peace) with you.
24 And you shall know that your
tabernacle shall be in shalom (peace); and
you shall visit your habitation, and shall not
sin.
25 You shall know also that your seed
shall be great, and your offspring as the
grass of the earth.
26 You shall come to your grave in a full
age, like as a stacking of grain comes in its
season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is;
hear it, and know you it for your good.
Chapter 6
1 But Iyob (Job) answered and said,
2 Oh that my grief was thoroughly
weighed, and my calamity laid in the
balances together!
3 For now it would be heavier than the
sand of the sea: therefore my words are
swallowed up.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are
within me, the poison whereof drinks up my
ruach (spirit): the terrors of Eloah do set
themselves in array against me.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has
grass? Or the ox lows over its fodder?
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten
without salt? Or is there any taste in the
white of an egg?
7 The things that my soul refused to
touch are as my sorrowful food.
8 Oh that I might have my request; and
that Elohim would grant me the thing that I
long for!
1099
9 Even that it would please Elohim to
destroy me; that he would let loose his
hand, and cut me off!
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yes, I
would harden myself in sorrow: let him not
spare; for I have not concealed the words
of the Set-Apart One.
11 What is my strength that I should
hope? And what is my end, that I should
prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh of brass?
13 Is not my help in me? And is wisdom
driven quite from me?
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be
showed from his friend; but he forsakes the
fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a
brook, and as the stream of brooks they
pass away;
16 Which are blackish by reason of the
ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
17 What time they wax warm, they
vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed
out of their place.
18 The paths of their way are turned
aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19 The troops of Tema looked, the
companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 They were confounded because they
had hoped; they came there, and were
ashamed.
21 For now you are nothing; you see my
casting down, and are afraid.
22 Did I say, bring to me? Or, give a
reward for me of your substance?
23 Or, deliver me from the enemy's
hand? Or, redeem me from the hand of the
oppressors?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue:
and cause me to understand wherein I
have erred.
25 How forcible are right words! But what
does your arguing reprove?
26 Do you imagine to reprove words, and
the speeches of one that is desperate,
which are as wind?
 Job (Iyob)
27 Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless,
and you dig a pit for your friend.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon
me; for it is evident to you if I lie.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity;
yes, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? Cannot
my taste discern perverse things?
Chapter 7
1 Is there not an appointed time to man
upon earth? Are not his days also like the
days of a hireling?
2 As a servant earnestly desires the
shadow, and as a hireling looks for the
reward of his work:
3 So am I made to possess months of
vanity, and wearisome nights are
appointed to me.
4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I
arise, and the night be gone? And I am full
of tossing to and fro to the dawning of the
day.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and
clods of dust; my skin is broken, and
become loathsome.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver's
shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 O remember that my life is wind: my
eye shall no more see good.
8 The eye of him that has seen me shall
see me no more: your eyes are upon me,
and I am not.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes
away: so he that goes down to the grave
shall come up no more.
10 He shall return no more to his house;
neither shall his place know him any more.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I
will speak in the anguish of my ruach
(spirit); I will complain in the bitterness of
my soul.
12 Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that
you set a watch over me?
13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me,
my couch shall ease my complaint;
14 Then you scare me with dreams, and
1100
terrify me visions:
15 So that my soul chooses strangling,
and death rather than my life.
16 I loathe it; I would not live always: let
me alone; for my days are vanity.
17 What is man, that you should magnify
him? And that you should set your heart
upon him?
18 And that you should visit him every
morning, and try him every moment?
19 How long will you not depart from me,
nor let me alone till I swallow down my
spittle?
20 I have sinned; what shall I do to you,
O you preserver of men? Why have you
set me as a mark against you, so that I am
a burden to myself?
21 And why do you not pardon my
transgression, and take away my iniquity?
For now shall I sleep in the dust; and you
shall seek me in the morning, but I shall
not be.
Chapter 8
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and
said,
2 How long will you speak these things?
And how long shall the words of your
mouth be like a strong wind?
3 Does the El (Power) pervert right-
ruling? Or does the Almighty pervert
justice?
4 If your children have sinned against
him, and he have cast them away for their
transgression;
5 If you would seek the El (Power) at
betimes, and make your supplication to the
Almighty;
6 If you were pure and upright; surely
now he would awake for you, and make
the habitation of your righteousness
prosperous.
7 Though your beginning was small, yet
your latter end should greatly increase.
8 For enquire, I pray you, of the former
age, and prepare yourself to the search of
their ahvot (fathers):
 Job (Iyob)
9 For we are but of yesterday, and know
nothing, because our days upon earth are
a shadow:
10 Shall not they teach you, and tell you,
and utter words out of their heart?
11 Can the papyrus plant grow up without
a marsh? Can reeds flourish without
mayim (water)?
12 Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and
not cut down, it withers before any other
herb.
13 So are the paths of all that forget El
(The Power); and the hypocrite's hope
shall perish:
14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and
whose trust shall be a spider's web.
15 He shall lean upon his house, but it
shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it
shall not endure.
16 He is green before the sun, and his
branch shoots forth in his garden.
17 His roots are wrapped about the heap,
and sees the place of stones.
18 If he destroys him from his place, then
it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen
you.
19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and
out of the earth shall others grow.
20 Behold, El (The Power) will not cast
away a perfect man, neither will he help
the evil doers:
21 Till he fill your mouth with laughing,
and your lips with rejoicing.
22 They that hate you shall be clothed
with shame; and the dwelling place of the
wicked shall come to naught.
Chapter 9
1 Then Iyob (Job) answered and said,
2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should
man be just with El (The Power)?
3 If he will contend with him, he cannot
answer him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in
strength: who has hardened himself
against him, and has prospered?
5 Which removes the mountains, and
1101
they know not: which overturns them in his
anger?
6 Which shakes the earth out of her
place, and the pillars of it tremble?
7 Which commands the sun, and it rises
not; and seals up the stars?
8 Which alone spreads out the shamayim
(heavens), and treads upon the waves of
the sea.
9 Which makes Bear, Orion, and
Pleiades,1 and the chambers of the
southern sky.
10 Which does great things past finding
out; yes, and wonders without number?
11 Lo, he goes by me, and I see him not:
he passes on also, but I perceive him not.
12 Behold, he takes away, who can
hinder him? Who dares say to him, What
are you doing?
13 If Elohim will not withdraw his anger,
the proud helpers do stoop under him.
14 How much less shall I answer him,
and choose out my words to reason with
him?
15 Whom, though I was righteous, yet
would I not answer, but I would make
supplication to my judge.
16 If I had called, and he had answered
me; yet would I not believe that he had
hearkened to my voice?
17 For he breaks me with a tempest, and
multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 He will not suffer me to take my
breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong:
and if of right-ruling, who shall set me a
time to plead?
20 If I justify myself, my own mouth shall
condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall
also prove me perverse.
21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not
know my soul: I would despise my life.
22 This is one thing, therefore I said it,
1 The ancient people were aware of the 48
constellations in heaven.
 Job (Iyob)
and He destroys the perfect and the
wicked.
23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will
laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the
wicked: he covers the faces of the judges
thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
25 Now my days are swifter than a post:
they flee away, they see no good.
26 They are passed away as the swift
ships: as the eagle that hurries to the prey.
27 If I say, I will forget my complaint; I will
leave off my heaviness, and comfort
myself:
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows; I know
that you will not hold me innocent.
29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in
vain?
30 If I wash myself with snow water, and
make my hands never so clean;
31 Yet shall you plunge myself in the
ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I
should answer him, and we should come
together in right-ruling.
33 Neither is there any mediator between
us, which might lay his hand upon us both.
34 Let him take his rod away from me,
and let not his fear terrify me:
35 Then would I speak, and not fear him;
but it is not so with me.
Chapter 10
1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave
my complaint upon myself; I will speak in
the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to Elohim, Do not condemn
me; show me therefore you contend with
me.
3 Is it good to you that you should
oppress, that you should despise the work
of your hands, and shine upon the counsel
of the wicked?
4 Have you eyes of flesh? Or do you see
as man sees?
5 Are your days as the days of man? Are
your years as man's days?
1102
6 That you enquire after my iniquity, and
search after my sin?
7 You know that I am not wicked; and
there is none that can deliver out of your
hand.
8 Your hands have made me and
fashioned me together round about; yet
you destroy me.
9 Remember, I beseech you, that you
have made me as the clay; and will you
bring me into dust again?
10 Have you not poured me out as milk,
and curdled me like cheese?
11 You have clothed me with skin and
flesh, and have fenced me with bones and
sinews.
12 You have granted me life and favour,
and your visitation has preserved my ruach
(spirit).
13 And these things have you hid in your
heart: I know that this is with you.
14 If I sin, then you mark me, and you will
not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be
righteous, yet will I not lift up my head? I
am full of confusion; therefore you see my
affliction;
16 For it increases. You hunt me as a
fierce lion: and again you show yourself
marvellous upon me.
17 You renew your witnesses against me,
and increase your indignation upon me;
changes and war are against me.
18 Therefore why then have you brought
me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had
given up the ghost, and no eye had seen
me!
19 I should have been as though I had
not been; I should have been carried from
the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? Cease then,
and let me alone, that I may take comfort a
little,
21 Before I go where I shall not return,
even to the land of darkness and the
shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself;
 Job (Iyob)
and of the shadow of death, without any
order, and where the light is as darkness.
Chapter 11
1 Then answered Tsophar the
Naamathite, and said,
2 Should not the multitude of words be
answered? And should a man full of talk be
justified?
3 Should your lies make men hold their
shalom (peace)? And when you mock,
shall no man make you ashamed?
4 For you have said, My teaching is pure,
and I am clean in your eyes.
5 But oh that Elohim would speak, and
open his lips against you;
6 And that he would show you the secrets
of wisdom, which they are double to that
which is! Know therefore that Elohim
exacts of you less than your iniquity
deserves.
7 Can you by searching find out Eloah?
Can you find out the Almighty to
perfection?
8 It is as high as shamayim (heavens);
what can you do? Deeper than She’ol;
what can you know?
9 The measure thereof is longer than the
earth, and broader than the sea.
10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather
together, then who can hinder him?
11 For he knows vain men: he sees
wickedness also; will he not then consider
it?
12 For vain man would be wise, though
man be born like a wild donkey's colt.
13 If you prepare your heart, and stretch
out your hands toward him;
14 If iniquity be in your hand, put it far
away, and let not wickedness dwell in your
tabernacles.
15 For then shall you lift up your face
without spot; yes, you shall be steadfast,
and shall not fear:
16 Because you shall forget your misery,
and remember it as waters that pass away:
17 And your age shall be clearer than the
1103
noonday; you shall shine forth, you shall be
as the morning.
18 And you shall be secure, because
there is hope; yes, you shall dig about you,
and you shall take your rest in safety.
19 Also you shall lie down, and none
shall make you afraid; yes, many shall
make suit to you.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
and they shall not escape, and their hope
shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Chapter 12
1 And Iyob (Job) answered and said,
2 No doubt but you are the people, and
wisdom shall die with you.
3 But I have understanding as well as
you; I am not inferior to you: yes, who
knows not such things as these?
4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour,
who calls upon Eloah, and he answers
him: the just upright man is laughed to
scorn.
5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is
as a lamp despised in the thought of him
that is at ease.
6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper,
and they that provoke El (The Power) are
secure; into whose hand Eloah brings
abundantly.
7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall
teach you; and the fowls of the air, and
they shall tell you:
8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach
you: and the fishes of the sea shall declare
to you.
9 Who knows not in all these that the
hand of hwhy has wrought this?
10 In whose hand is the soul of every
living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
11 Does not the ear try words? And the
mouth tastes his food?
12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in
length of days understanding.
13 With him is wisdom and strength, he
has counsel and understanding.
14 Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot
 Job (Iyob)
be built again: he shuts up a man, and
there can be no opening.
15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and
they dry up: also he sends them out, and
they overturn the earth.
16 With him is strength and wisdom: the
deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 He leads counsellors away spoiled,
and makes the judges fools.
18 He looses the bond of kings, and girds
their loins with a girdle.
19 He leads princes away spoiled, and
overthrows the mighty.
20 He removes away the speech of the
trusty, and takes away the understanding
of the aged.
21 He pours contempt upon princes, and
weakens the strength of the mighty.
22 He uncovers deep things out of
darkness, and brings out to light the
shadow of death.
23 He increases the nations, and
destroys them: he enlarges the nations,
and leads them again.
24 He takes away the heart of the chief of
the people of the earth, and causes them
to wander in a wilderness where there is
no way.
25 They grope in the dark without light,
and he makes them to stagger like a
drunken man.
Chapter 13
1 Lo, my eye has seen all this; my ear
has heard and understood it.
2 What you know, the same do I know
also: I am not inferior to you.
3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty,
and I desire to reason with El (The Power).
4 But you are forgers of lies, you are all
physicians of no value.
5 O that you would altogether hold your
shalom (peace)! And it should be your
wisdom.
6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken
to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will you speak wickedly for El (The
1104
Power)? And talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will you accept his person? Will you
contend for El (The Power)?
9 Is it good that he should search you
out? Or as one man mocks another, do
you so mock him?
10 He will surely reprove you, if you do
secretly accept persons.
11 Shall not his excellence make you
afraid? And his dread falls upon you?
12 Your remembrances are like to ashes,
your bodies to bodies of clay.
13 Hold your shalom (peace), let me
alone, that I may speak, and let whatever
come upon me.
14 Therefore do I take my flesh in my
teeth, and put my life in my hand?
15 Though he slays me, yet will I trust in
him: but I will maintain my own ways
before him.
16 He also shall be my deliverance: for a
hypocrite shall not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my speech, and my
declaration with your ears.
18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause;
I know that I shall be justified.
19 Who is he that will plead with me? For
now, if I hold my tongue, then shall I die.
20 Only do not two things to me: then will
I not hide myself from you.
21 Withdraw your hand far from me: and
let not your dread make me afraid.
22 Then you call, and I will answer: or let
me speak, and answer me.
23 How many are my iniquities and sins?
Make me to know my transgression and
my sin.
24 Therefore hide your face, and hold me
for your enemy?
25 Will you break a leaf driven to and fro?
And will you pursue the dry stubble?
26 For you write bitter things against me,
and make me to possess the iniquities of
my youth.
27 You put my feet also in the stocks,
and look narrowly to all my paths; you set a
print upon the heels of my feet.
 Job (Iyob)
28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumes,
as a garment that is moth eaten.
Chapter 14
1 Man that is born of a woman is of few
days, and full of trouble.
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut
down: he flees like a shadow, and does not
continue.
3 And do you open your eyes upon such
a one, and bring me into right-ruling with
you?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an
unclean? No one.
5 Seeing his days are determined, the
number of his months are with you, you
have appointed his bounds that he cannot
pass;
6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he
shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7 For there is hope of an etz (tree), if it be
cut down, that it will sprout again, and that
the tender branch of it will not cease.
8 Though the root of it wax old in the
earth, and the stock thereof die in the
ground;
9 Yet through the scent of mayim (water)
it will bud, and bring forth branches like a
plant.
10 But man dies, and wastes away: yes,
man dies, and where is he?
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and
the flood decays and dries up:
12 So man lies down, and rises not: till
the shamayim (heavens) be no more, they
shall not awake, nor be raised out of their
sleep.
13 O that you would hide me in the grave,
that you would keep me secret, until your
wrath be past, that you would appoint me a
set time, and remember me!
14 If a man dies, shall he live again? All
the days of my appointed time will I wait, till
my change come.
15 You shall call, and I will answer you:
you will have a desire to the work of your
hands.
1105
16 For now you number my steps: do you
not watch over my sin?
17 My transgression is sealed up in a
bag, and you sew up my iniquity.
18 And surely the mountain falling comes
to naught, and the rock is removed out of
his place.
19 The waters wear the stones: you wash
away the things which grow out of the dust
of the earth; and you destroy the hope of
man.
20 You prevail forever against him, and
he passes: you change his countenance,
and send him away.
21 His sons come to honour, and he
knows it not; and they are brought low, but
he perceives it not of them.
22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain,
and his soul within him shall mourn.
Chapter 15
1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite,
and said,
2 Should a wise man utter vain
knowledge, and fill his belly with the east
wind?
3 Should he reason with unprofitable
talk? Or with speeches wherewith he can
do no good?
4 Yes, you cast off fear, and restrain
prayer before El (The Power).
5 For your mouth utters your iniquity, and
you choose the tongue of the crafty.
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and
not I: yes, your own lips testify against you.
7 Are you the first man that was born? Or
were you made before the hills?
8 Have you heard the secret of Elohim?
And do you restrain wisdom to yourself?
9 What do you know that we know not?
What do you understand, which is not in
us?
10 With us are both the gray headed and
very aged men, much elder than your
father.
11 Are the consolations of El (The Power)
small with you? Is there any secret thing
 Job (Iyob)
with you?
12 Why does your heart carry you away?
And what do your eyes wink at,
13 That you turn your ruach (spirit)
against El (The Power), and let such words
go out of your mouth?
14 What is man, that he should be clean?
And he which is born of a woman, that he
should be righteous?
15 Behold, he puts no trust in his
Yah’sar’elite kedoshim (saints); yes, the
shamayim (heavens) are not clean in his
sight.
16 How much more abominable and filthy
is man, which drinks iniquity like mayim
(water)?
17 I will show you, hear me; and that
which I have seen I will declare;
18 Which wise men have told from their
ahvot (fathers), and have not hid it:
19 To whom alone the earth was given,
and no foreigner passed among them.
20 The wicked man suffers torment all his
days, and the number of years is hidden to
the oppressor.
21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in
prosperity the destroyer shall come upon
him.
22 He believes not that he shall return out
of darkness, and he is waited for of the
sword.
23 He wanders abroad for lechem
(bread), saying, Where is it? He knows that
the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 Trouble and anguish shall make him
afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a
king ready to the battle.
25 For he stretches out his hand against
El (The Power), and strengthens himself
against the Almighty.
26 He runs upon him, even on his neck,
upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27 Because he covers his face with his
fatness, and has put layers of fat on his
loins.
28 And he dwells in desolate cities, and
in houses which no man inhabits, which
1106
are ready to become heaps.
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his
substance continue, neither shall he
prolong the perfection of it upon the earth.
30 He shall not depart out of darkness;
the flame shall dry up his branches, and by
the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
31 Let him not that is deceived trust in
vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
32 It shall be accomplished before his
time, and his branch shall not be green.
33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as
the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the
olive.
34 For the congregation of hypocrites
shall be desolate, and fire shall consume
the tabernacles of bribery.
35 They conceive mischief, and bring
forth vanity, and their belly prepares deceit.
Chapter 16
1 Then Iyob (Job) answered and said,
2 I have heard many such things:
miserable comforters are you all.
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what
emboldens you that you answer?
4 I also could speak as you do: if your
soul were in my soul's place, I could heap
up words against you, and shake my head
at you.
5 But I would strengthen you with my
mouth, and the moving of my lips should
bring relief.
6 Though I speak, my grief is not
relieved: and though I forbear, am I eased?
7 But now he has made me weary: you
have made desolate all my company.
8 And you have filled me with wrinkles,
which are a witness against me: and my
leanness rising up in me bears witness to
my face.
9 He tears me in his wrath, who hates
me: he gnashes upon me with his teeth;
my enemy sharpens his eyes upon me.
10 They have gaped upon me with their
mouth; they have smitten me upon the
cheek reproachfully; they have gathered
 Job (Iyob)
themselves together against me.
11 El (The Power) has delivered me to
the wicked, and turned me over into the
hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but he has broken me:
he has also taken me by my neck, and
shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his
mark.
13 His archers surround me, he splits my
kidneys in two, and does not spare; he
pours out my gall upon the ground.
14 He breaks me with breach upon
breach, he runs upon me like a giant.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin,
and buried my horn in the dust.
16 My face is foul with weeping, and on
my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17 Not for any injustice in my hands: also
my prayer is pure.
18 O earth, cover not you my blood, and
let my cry have no place.
19 Also now, behold, my witness is in
shamayim (heavens), and my record is on
high.
20 My friends scorn me: but my eye
pours out tears to Eloah.
21 O that one might plead for a man with
Eloah, as a man pleads for his neighbour!
22 When a few years are come, then I
shall go the way where I shall not return.
Chapter 17
1 My breath is corrupt, my days are
extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2 Are there not mockers with me? And
does not my eye continue in their
provocation?
3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with
you; who is he that will strike hands with
me?
4 For you have hid their heart from
understanding: therefore shall you not exalt
them.
5 He that speaks flattery to his friends,
even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 He has made me also a byword to the
people; and in my face do they spit.
1107
7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow,
and all my form is as a shadow.
8 Upright men shall be astonished at this,
and the innocent shall stir up himself
against the hypocrite.
9 The righteous also shall hold on his
way, and he that has clean hands shall be
stronger and stronger.
10 But as for you all, do you return, and
come now: for I cannot find one wise man
among you.
11 My days are past, my purposes are
broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day: the
light is short because of darkness.
13 If I wait, the grave is my house: I have
made my bed in the darkness.
14 I have said to corruption, You are my
father: to the worm, You are my mother,
and my sister.
15 And where is now my hope? As for my
hope, who shall see it?
16 They shall go down to the gates1 of
She’ol, when our rest together is in the
dust.
Chapter 18
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and
said,
2 How long will it be that you make an
end of words? Mark, and afterwards we will
speak.
3 Therefore are we counted as beasts,
and reputed vile in your sight?
4 He tears himself in his anger: shall the
earth be forsaken for you? And shall the
rock be removed out of his place?
5 Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put
out, and the spark of his fire shall not
shine.
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle,
and his candle shall be put out with him.
1 In the most ancient Hebrew the Hebrew word bad
would mean a house with a gate. She’ol is a huge
place with an entrance therefore a gate is in view.
 Job (Iyob)
7 The steps of his strength shall be
straitened, and his own counsel shall cast
him down.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
and he walks upon a snare.
9 The snare shall take him by the heel,
and the robber shall prevail against him.
10 The snare is laid for him in the ground
and a trap for him in the way.
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every
side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 His strength shall be starved,1 and
destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 It shall devour the strength of his skin:
even the firstborn of death shall devour his
strength.
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of
his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the
king of terrors.
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle,
because it is none of his: brimstone shall
be scattered upon his habitation.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath,
and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 His remembrance shall perish from
the earth, and he shall have no name in
the street.
18 He shall be driven from light into
darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 He shall neither have son nor nephew
among his people, nor any remaining in his
dwellings.
20 They that come after him shall be
astonished at his day, as they that went
before were affrighted.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the
wicked, and this is the place of him that
knows not El (The Power).
Chapter 19
1 Then Iyob (Job) answered and said,
2 How long will you vex my soul, and
break me in pieces with words?
3 These ten times have you reproached
1 In She’ol there is no strength.
1108
me: you are not ashamed that you make
yourselves strange to me.
4 And be it indeed that I have erred, my
error remains with myself.
5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves
against me, and plead against me my
reproach:
6 Know now that Eloah has overthrown
me, and has surrounded me with his net.
7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not
heard: I cry aloud, but there is no right-
ruling.
8 He has fenced up my way that I cannot
pass, and he has set darkness in my
paths.
9 He has stripped me of my glory, and
taken the crown from my head.
10 He has destroyed me on every side,
and I am gone: and my hope has he
removed like an etz (tree).
11 He has also kindled his wrath against
me, and he counts me to him as one of his
enemies.
12 His troops come together, and raise
up their way against me, and encamp
round about my tabernacle.
13 He has put my brethren far from me,
and my acquaintance are verily estranged
from me.
14 My family has failed me, and my
friends have forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in my house, and my
maids, count me for a foreigner: I am an
alien in their sight.
16 I called my servant, and he gave me
no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife,
though I begged2 her for the children's
sake.
18 Yes, young children despised me; I
2 The Hebrew word here Channan is for grace and
beauty but it also illustrates that all grace and
beauty had left Iyob and even his wife wanted
nothing to do with him. So the meaning here is to
beg or to implore.
 Job (Iyob)
arose, and they spoke against me.
19 All my close friends despised me: and
they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaves to my skin and to my
flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my
teeth.
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon
me, O you my friends; for the hand of
Eloah has touched me.
22 Why do you persecute me as El (The
Power), and are not satisfied with my
flesh?
23 Oh that my words were now written!
Oh that they were printed in a scroll!
24 That they were graven with an iron
pen and lead in the rock forever!
25 For I know that my redeemer lives,
and that he shall stand at the End of Days
upon the earth.1
26 And though after my skin worms
destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I
see Eloah:2
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my
eyes shall behold, and not another; though
my kidneys be consumed within me.
28 But you should say, Why persecute
we him, seeing the root of the matter is
found in me?
29 Be you afraid of the sword: for wrath
brings the punishments of the sword, that
you may know there is a right-ruling.
1 Even Iyob knew that the Messiah Yahushua will
stand upon the earth one day, he shows us two
comings of Messiah because he speaks about end of
days, which is the second return.
2 Rambam (Moses ben Maimondes) and Rashi
taught this verse in the pashat level. Hundreds of
years before microscope/telescope were invented
they saw one day man will look inside his body and
see the creator that is how the design of cellular
structure is made i.e. Torah is written on human
DNA. The word for flesh is Basar and the 3 letter
root is also used for Good News/Gospel so it can be
also read as- ‘In Gospel I will see YHWH’
1109
Chapter 20
1 Then answered Tsophar the
Naamathite, and said,
2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to
answer, and for this I make haste.
3 I have heard the insult of my honour,
and the ruach (spirit) of my understanding
cause me to answer.
4 Know you not this of old, since man
was placed upon earth,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is
short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a
moment?
6 Though his excellence Mount up to the
shamayim (heavens) and his head reach to
the clouds;
7 Yet he shall perish forever like his own
dung: they which have seen him shall say
Where is he?
8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall
not be found: yes, he shall be chased away
as a vision of the night.
9 The eye also which saw him shall see
him no more; neither shall his place any
more behold him.
10 His children shall seek to please the
poor, and his hands shall restore their
goods.
11 His bones are full of the sin of his
youth, which shall lie down with him in the
dust.
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his
mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13 Though he spares it, and forsakes it
not; but keep it still within his mouth:
14 Yet his food in his bowels is turned, it
is the bitterness of cobras is within him.
15 He has swallowed down riches, and
he shall vomit them up again: El (The
Power) shall cast them out of his belly.
16 He shall suck the poison of cobras:
the viper's tongue shall slay him.
17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods,
the brooks of honey and butter.
18 That which he laboured for shall he
restore, and shall not swallow it down:
according to his substance shall the
 Job (Iyob)
restitution be, and he shall not rejoice
therein.
19 Because he has oppressed and has
forsaken the poor; because he has
violently taken away a house which he
build not;
20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in
his belly, he shall not save of that which he
desired.
21 There shall none of his food be left;
therefore shall no man look for his goods.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he
shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked
shall come upon him.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, Eloah
shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him,
and shall rain it upon him while he is
eating.
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon,
and the bow of steel shall strike him
through.
25 It is drawn, and comes out of the
body; yes, the glittering sword comes out
of his gall: terrors are upon him.
26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret
places: a fire not blown shall consume him;
it shall go ill with him that is left in his
tabernacle.
27 The shamayim (heavens) shall reveal
his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up
against him.
28 The increase of his house shall
depart, and his goods shall flow away in
the day of his wrath.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man
from Elohim, and the heritage appointed to
him by El (The Power).
Chapter 21
1 But Iyob (Job) answered and said,
2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this
be your consolations.
3 Allow me to speak; and after that I have
spoken, mock on.
4 As for me, is my complaint to man? And
if it were so, why should not my ruach
(spirit) be troubled?
1110
5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay
your hand upon your mouth.
6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and
trembling takes hold on my flesh.
7 Therefore do the wicked live, become
old, yes, and are mighty in power?
8 Their descendants do well in their sight,
and their offspring before their eyes.
9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither
is the rod of Eloah upon them.
10 Their bulls breed without fail, their cow
calves, and do not miscarry.
11 They send forth their little ones like a
flock, and their children dance.
12 They take the timbrel and harp, and
rejoice at the sound of the flute.
13 They spend their days in wealth, and
in a moment go down to the She’ol.
14 Therefore they say to El (The Power),
Depart from us; for we desire not the
knowledge of your ways.1
15 Who is the Almighty that we should
serve him? And what profit should we
have, if we pray to him?2
16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the
counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 How often is the candle of the wicked
put out! And how often comes their
destruction upon them! Elohim distributes
sorrows in his anger.
18 They are as stubble before the wind
and as chaff that the storm carries away.
19 You say, ‘Eloah lays up his iniquity for
his children:’ let him reward him, so that he
knows it.
20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and
he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what pleasure has he in his house
after him, when the number of his months
is cut off in the midst?
22 Shall any teach El (The Power)
1 These wicked ones do not care about YHWH or His
Torah.
2 Nothing has changed from Iyob’s time to now, the
world says the same thing today.
 Job (Iyob)
knowledge? Seeing he judges those that
are exalted.
23 One dies in his full strength, being at
ease and quiet.
24 His breasts are full of milk, and his
bones are moistened with marrow.
25 And another dies in the bitterness of
his soul, and never eats with pleasure.
26 They shall lie down alike in the dust,
and the worms shall cover them.
27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the
devices which you wrongfully imagine
against me.
28 For you say, Where is the house of
the nobleman? And where are the dwelling
places of the wicked?
29 Have you not asked them that go by
the way? And do you know not their signs,
30 That the wicked is reserved to the day
of destruction? They shall be brought forth
to the day of wrath.
31 Who shall declare his way to his face?
And who shall repay him what he has
done?
32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave,
and shall remain in the tomb.
33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet
to him, and every man shall draw after him,
as there are innumerable before him.
34 How then you comfort me in vain,
seeing in your answers there remains
falsehood?
Chapter 22
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered
and said,
2 Can a man be profitable to El (The
Power), as he that is wise may be
profitable to himself?
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that
you are righteous? Or is it gain to him, that
you make your ways perfect?
4 Will he reprove you for fear of you? Will
he enter with you into right-ruling?
5 Is not your wickedness great? And your
iniquities infinite?
6 For you have taken a pledge from your
1111
brother for nothing, and stripped the naked
of their clothing.
7 You have not given mayim (water) to
the weary to drink, and you have withheld
lechem (bread) from the hungry.
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the
earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty,
and the arms of the fatherless have been
broken.1
10 Therefore snares are round about you,
and sudden fear troubles you;
11 Or darkness, that you cannot see; and
abundance of waters cover you.
12 Is not Eloah in the height of shamayim
(heavens)? And behold the height of the
stars, how high they are!
13 And you say, How does El (The
Power) know? Can he judge through the
dark cloud?
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him,
that he sees not; and he walks in the circuit
of shamayim (heavens).
15 Have you marked the old way which
wicked men have trodden?
16 Which were cut down out of time,
whose foundation was over flown with a
flood:
17 Which said to El (The Power), Depart
from us: and what can the Almighty do for
them?
18 Yet he filled their houses with good
things: but the counsel of the wicked is far
from me.
19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and
the innocent laugh them to scorn.
20 Whereas our substance is not cut
down, but the remnant of them the fire
consumes.
21 Acquaint now yourself with him, and
be at shalom (peace): thereby good shall
come to you.
22 Receive, I pray you, the Torah from
1 Iyob is being slandered for a wrong he did not do
by his own friend.
 Job (Iyob)
his mouth, and lay up his words in your
heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you shall
be built up, you shall put away iniquity far
from your tabernacles.
24 Then shall you lay up gold as dust,
and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the
brooks.
25 Yes, the Almighty shall be your
defence, and you shall have plenty of
silver.
26 For then shall you have your delight in
the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to
Eloah.
27 You shall make your prayer to him,
and he shall hear you, and you shall pay
your vows.
28 You shall also decree a thing, and it
shall be established to you: and the light
shall shine upon your ways.
29 When men are cast down, then you
shall say, There is lifting up; and he shall
save the humble person.
30 He shall deliver the island of the
innocent: and it is delivered by the
pureness of your hands.
Chapter 23
1 Then Iyob (Job) answered and said,
2 Even today is my complaint bitter: my
stroke is heavier than my groaning.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him!
That I might come even to his seat!
4 I would present my case before him,
and fill my mouth with proofs.
5 I would know the words which he would
answer me, and understand what he would
say to me.
6 Will he plead against me with his great
power? No; but he would put strength in
me.
7 There the righteous might dispute with
him; so should I be delivered forever from
my judge.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not
there; and backward, but I cannot perceive
him:
1112
9 On the left hand, where he does work,
but I cannot behold him: he hides himself
on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10 But he knows the way that I take:
when he has tried me, I shall come forth as
gold.1
11 My foot has held his steps, his way
have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither have I gone back from the
commandment of his lips; I have esteemed
the words of his mouth more than my
necessary food.2
13 But he is in one mind, and who can
turn him? And what his soul desires, even
that he does.
14 For he performs the thing that is
appointed for me: and many such things
are with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his
presence: when I consider, I am afraid of
him.
16 For El (The Power) makes my heart
soft, and the Almighty troubles me:
17 Because I was not cut off before the
darkness, neither has he covered the
darkness from my face.
Chapter 24
1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from
the Almighty, do they that know him not
see his days?
2 Some remove the landmarks; they
violently take away flocks, and feed them.
3 They drive away the donkey of the
fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a
pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the
1 Iyob is talking about his left and right sides applied
to YHWH would be judgment and mercy in which
Iyob is sure that through Iyob’s Torah works he
would be like Gold. This is because Iyob cannot find
a reason for his punishment.
2 Iyob kept Torah when he was saved unlike
Christians who love to tell Iyob’s story but fail to act
in his way.
 Job (Iyob)
poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,
go they forth to their work; rising betimes
for a prey: the wilderness yields food for
them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his grain in the
field: and they glean the vineyard of the
wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without
clothing, that they have no covering in the
cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the
mountains, and embrace the rock for want
of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the
breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without
clothing, and they take away the sheaf
from the hungry;
11 Which make oil within their walls, and
tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and
the soul of the wounded cries out: yet
Eloah lays not folly to them.
13 They are of those that rebel against
the light; they know not the ways thereof,
nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light kills
the poor and needy, and in the night is as a
thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for
the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me:
and disguises his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses,
which they had marked for themselves in
the daytime: they know not the light.
17 For the morning is to them even as the
shadow of death: if one knows them, they
are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion
is cursed in the earth: he beholds not the
way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow
waters: so does She’ol those which have
sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him; the worm
shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no
1113
more remembered; and wickedness shall
be broken as an etz (tree).
21 He evil entreats the barren that bears
not: and does not good to the widow.
22 He draws also the mighty with his
power: he rises up, and no man is sure of
life.
23 Though it is given him to be in safety,
whereon he rests; yet his eyes are upon
their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while, but
are gone and brought low; they are taken
out of the way as all other, and cut off as
the heads of grain.
25 And if it be not so now, who will make
me a liar, and make my speech nothing
worth?
Chapter 25
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and
said,
2 Dominion and fear are with him, he
makes shalom (peace) in his high places.
3 Is there any number of his armies? And
upon whom does not his light arise?
4 How then can man be justified with El
(The Power)? Or how can he be clean that
is born of a woman?
5 Behold even to the moon and it shines
not; yes, the stars are not pure in his sight.
6 How much less man, that is a worm?
And the son of man, which is a worm?
Chapter 26
1 But Iyob (Job) answered and said,
2 How have you helped him that is
without power? How did you save the one
that has no strength?
3 How have you counselled him that has
no wisdom? And how have you plentifully
declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom have you uttered words? And
whose ruach (spirit) did you come from?
5 Dead things are formed from under the
waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 She’ol is naked before him, and
destruction has no covering.
 Job (Iyob)
7 He stretches out the north over the
empty place, and hangs the earth upon
nothing.1
8 He binds up the waters in his thick
clouds; and the cloud is not torn under
them.
9 He holds back the face of his throne,
and spreads his cloud upon it.
10 He has surrounded the waters with
bounds, until the day and night come to an
end.
11 The pillars of shamayim (heavens)
tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and
by his understanding he cut through
Rachab the great sea monster.
13 By his Ruach (Spirit) he has garnished
the shamayim (heavens); his hand has
whirled the fleeing serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but
how little a portion is heard of him? But the
thunder of his power who can understand?
Chapter 27
1 Moreover Iyob (Job) continued his
parable, and said,
2 As El (The Power) lives, who has taken
away my right-ruling; and the Almighty,
who has vexed my soul;
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the
Ruach (Spirit) of Elohim is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor
my tongue utter deceit.
5 Elohim forbid that I should justify you:
till I die I will not remove my integrity from
me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will
not let it go: my heart shall not reproach
me so long as I live.
7 Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he
that rises up against me as the
unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
1 The north is where the heaven is, the dwelling
place of YHWH or the throne room.
1114
though he has gained, when Eloah takes
away his soul?
9 Will El (The Power) hear his cry when
trouble comes upon him?
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call upon Eloah?
11 I will teach you by the hand of El (The
Power): that which is with the Almighty will
I not conceal.
12 Behold, all you yourselves have seen
it; why then are you thus altogether vain?
13 This is the portion of a wicked man
with El (The Power), and the heritage of
oppressors, which they shall receive of the
Almighty.
14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the
sword: and his offspring shall not be
satisfied with lechem (bread).
15 Those that remain of him shall be
buried in death: and his widows shall not
weep.
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust,
and prepare raiment as the clay;
17 He may prepare it, but the righteous
shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide
the silver.
18 He builds his house as a moth, and as
a booth that the keeper makes.
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he
shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes,
and he is not.
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a
tempest steals him away in the night.
21 The east wind carries him away, and
he departs: and as a storm hurls him out of
his place.
22 For Elohim shall cast upon him, and
not spare: he swiftly flees from his power.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and
shall hiss him out of his place.
 Job (Iyob)
Chapter 28
1 Surely there is a mine for silver, and a
place for gold where they refine it.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass
is molten out of the stone.
3 He sets an end to darkness, and
searches out all perfection: the stones of
darkness, and the shadow of death.
4 Far from the inhabitants, he sinks a
shaft; even the places travelers have long
forgotten: far from others, he dangles and
sways.
5 As for the earth, out of it comes lechem
(bread): and under it is turned up as it were
fire.
6 The stones of it are the place of
sapphires: and it has dust of gold.
7 There is a path which no fowl knows,
and which the vulture's eye has not seen:
8 The lioness' cubs have not trodden it,
nor the fierce lion passed by it.
9 He puts forth his hand upon the rock;
he overturns the mountains by the roots.
10 He cuts out rivers among the rocks;
and his eye sees every precious thing.
11 He binds the rivers from overflowing;
and the thing that is hid brings he forth to
light.
12 But where shall wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
13 Man knows not the price of it; neither
is it found in the land of the living.
14 The depth says it is not in me: and the
sea says, it is not with me.
15 It cannot be acquired with gold,
neither shall silver be weighed for the price
of it.
16 It cannot be valued with the gold of
Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the
sapphire.
17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal
it: and the exchange of it shall not be for
jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral, or
of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above
rubies.
19 The topaz of Cush (Sudan) shall not
1115
equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure
gold.
20 Where then wisdom comes from? And
where is the place of understanding?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all
living, and kept close from the fowls of the
air.
22 Destruction and death say, We have
heard the fame of it with our ears.
23 Elohim understands its way, and he
knows the place of it.
24 For he looks to the ends of the earth,
and sees under the whole shamayim
(heavens);
25 To make the weight for the winds; and
he weighs the waters by measure.
26 When he made a decree for the rain,
and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he
prepared it, yes, and searched it out.
28 And to man he said, Behold, the fear
of the Master, that is wisdom; and to depart
from evil is understanding.1
Chapter 29
1 Moreover Iyob (Job) continued his
parable, and said,
2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in
the days when Eloah preserved me;
3 When his candle shined upon my head,
and when by his light I walked through
darkness;
4 As I was in the days of my youth, when
the secret of Eloah was upon my
tabernacle;
5 When the Almighty was yet with me,
when my children were with me;
6 When I washed my steps with butter,
and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
7 When I went out to the gate through the
city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
8 The young men saw me, and hid
themselves: and the aged arose, and stood
up.
1 Describing the hidden depths of Torah.
 Job (Iyob)
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid
their hand on their mouth.
10 The nobles held their shalom (peace),
and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their
mouth.
11 When the ear heard me, then it
blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it
gave witness to me:
12 Because I delivered the poor that
cried, and the fatherless, and him that had
none to help him.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to
perish came upon me: and I caused the
widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed
me: my right-ruling was as a robe and a
crown.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the
lame.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the
cause which I knew not I searched out.
17 And I broke the jaws of the wicked,
and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and
I shall multiply my days as the sand.
19 My root was spread out by the waters,
and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow
was renewed in my hand.
21 To me men gave ear, and waited, and
kept silence at my counsel.
22 After my words they spoke not again;
and my speech dropped upon them.
23 And they waited for me as for the rain;
and they opened their mouth wide as for
the latter rain.
24 If I laughed on them, they believed it
not; and the light of my countenance they
cast not down.
25 I chose out their way, and sat chief,
and dwelt as a king in the army, as one
that comforts the mourners.
Chapter 30
1 But now they that are younger than I
have me in derision, whose ahvot (fathers)
I would have disdained to have set with the
1116
dogs of my flock.
2 Yes, whereto might the strength of their
hands profit me, in whom old age was
perished?
3 For want and famine they were solitary;
fleeing into the wilderness in former time
desolate and waste.
4 Who cut up mallows by the salt
marshes, and juniper roots for their food?
5 They were driven forth from among
men, they cried after them as after a thief;
6 To dwell in the clefts of the valleys, in
caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
7 Among the bushes they brayed; under
the nettles they were gathered together.
8 They were children of fools, yes,
children of base men: they were viler than
the earth.
9 And now am I their song, yes, I am their
byword.
10 They abhor me; they flee far from me,
and spare not to spit in my face.
11 Because he has loosed my cord, and
afflicted me, they have also let loose the
bridle before me.
12 Upon my right hand rise the youth;
they push away my feet, and they raise up
against me the ways of their destruction.
13 They mar my path, they set forward
my calamity, and they have no helper.
14 They came upon me as a wide
breaking in of waters: in the desolation
they rolled themselves upon me.
15 Terrors are turned upon me: they
pursue my soul as the wind: and my
welfare passes away as a cloud.
16 And now my soul is poured out upon
me; the days of affliction have taken hold
upon me.
17 My bones are pierced in me in the
night season: and my sinews take no rest.
18 By the great force of my disease is my
garment changed: it binds me about as the
collar of my coat.
19 He has cast me into the mire, and I
am become like dust and ashes.
20 I cry to you, and you do not hear me: I
 Job (Iyob)
stand up, and you regard me not.
21 You have become cruel to me: with
your strong hand you oppose yourself
against me.
22 You lift me up to the wind; you cause
me to ride upon it, and dissolve my
substance.
23 For I know that you will bring me to
death, and to the house appointed for all
living.
24 Yet not one stretch out his hand in a
heap of ruins, though they cry in his
destruction.
25 Did not I weep for him that was in
trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the
poor?
26 When I looked for good, then evil
came to me: and when I waited for light,
there came darkness.
27 My inward parts boiled, and rested
not: the days of affliction went before me.
28 I went mourning without the sun: I
stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
29 I am a brother to jackals, and a
companion to Ostriches.
30 My skin is black upon me, and my
bones are burned with heat.
31 My lyre also is turned to mourning,
and my flute into the voice of them that
weep.
Chapter 31
1 I made a covenant with my eyes; how
then can I look upon a maid?
2 For what portion of Eloah is there from
above? And what inheritance of the
Almighty from on high?
3 Is not destruction to the wicked? And a
strange punishment to the workers of
iniquity?
4 Does not he see my ways, and count all
my steps?
5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot
has hasted to deceit;
6 Let me be weighed in an even balance,
that Eloah may know my integrity.
7 If my step has turned out of the way,
1117
and my heart walked after my eyes, and if
any spot has cleaved to my hands;
8 Then let me sow, and let another eat;
yes, let my offspring be rooted out.
9 If my heart have been deceived by a
woman, or if I have lain wait at my
neighbour's door;
10 Then let my wife grind to another, and
let others bow down upon her.
11 For this is a heinous crime; yes, it is
an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12 For it is a fire that consumes to
destruction, and would root out all my
increase.
13 If I did despise the cause of my
manservant or of my maidservant, when
they contended with me;
14 What then shall I do when El (The
Power) rises up? And when he visits, what
shall I answer him?
15 Did not he that made me in the womb
make him? And did not one fashion us in
the womb?
16 If I have withheld the poor from their
desire, or have caused the eyes of the
widow to fail;
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself
alone, and the fatherless has not eaten
thereof;
18 For from my youth he was brought up
with me, as with a father, and I have
guided her from my mother's womb;
19 If I have seen any perish for want of
clothing, or any poor without covering;
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if
he were not warmed with the fleece of my
sheep;
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the
fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder
blade and my arm be broken from the
bone.
23 For destruction from El (The Power)
was a terror to me, and by reason of his
highness I could not endure.
24 If I have made gold my hope, or have
said to the fine gold, You are my
 Job (Iyob)
confidence;
25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was
great, and because my hand had gotten
much;
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or
the moon walking in brightness;
27 And my heart has been secretly
enticed, or my mouth has kissed my hand:
28 This also was an iniquity to be
punished by the judge: for I should have
denied the El (The Power) that is above.
29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him
that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil
found him:
30 Neither have I permitted my mouth to
sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31 If the men of my tabernacle said not,
Oh that we had of his flesh! We cannot be
satisfied.
32 The foreigner did not lodge in the
street: but I opened my doors to the
traveler.
33 If I covered my transgressions as
Ahdahm, by hiding my iniquity in my
bosom:
34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the
contempt of families terrify me, that I kept
silence, and went not out of the door?
35 Oh that one would hear me! Behold,
my desire is, that the Almighty would
answer me, and that my adversary had
written a scroll.
36 Surely I would take it upon my
shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
37 I would declare to him the number of
my steps; as a prince would I go near to
him.
38 If my land cry against me, or that the
furrows likewise complain;
39 If I have eaten the fruits without
money, or have caused the owners to lose
their life:
40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and
cockle instead of barley. The words of Iyob
(Job) are ended.
1118
Chapter 32
1 So these three men ceased to answer
Iyob (Job), because he was righteous in
his own eyes.
2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the
son of Brach’el the Buzy, of the family of
Ram: against Iyob (Job) was his wrath
kindled, because he justified himself rather
than Elohim.
3 Also against his three friends was his
wrath kindled, because they had found no
answer, and yet had condemned Iyob
(Job).
4 Now Elihu had waited till Iyob (Job) had
spoken, because they were older than him.
5 When Elihu saw that there was no
answer in the mouth of these three men,
then his wrath was kindled.
6 And Elihu the son of Brach’el the Buzy
answered and said, I am young, and you
are elders; Therefore I was afraid, and
dared not show you my opinion.
7 I said, Days should speak, and
multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 But there is a ruach (spirit) in man: and
the inspiration of the Almighty gives them
understanding.
9 Great men are not always wise: neither
do the elderly understand right-ruling.
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also
will share my opinion.
11 Behold, I waited for your words; I
listened to your reasons, whilst you
searched out what to say.
12 Yes, I attended to you, and, behold,
there was none of you that convinced Iyob
(Job), or that answered his words:
13 Lest you should say, We have found
out wisdom: El (The Power) thrusts him
down, not man.
14 Now he has not directed his words
against me: neither will I answer him with
your speeches.
15 They were amazed, they answered no
more: they left off speaking.
16 When I had waited, for they spoke not,
but stood still and answered no more;
 Job (Iyob)
17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also
will show my opinion.
18 For I am full of matter, the ruach
(spirit) within me constrains me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which has
no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I
will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any
man's person, neither let me give flattering
titles to man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles;
in so doing my maker would soon take me
away.
Chapter 33
1 Therefore, Iyob (Job), I pray you, hear
my speech, and hearken to all my words.
2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth,
my tongue has spoken in my mouth.
3 My words shall be of the uprightness of
my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge
clearly.
4 The Ruach (Spirit) of El (The Power)
has made me, and the breath of the
Almighty has given me life.
5 If you can answer me, set your words in
order before me, stand up.
6 Behold, I am according to your wish in
El's (The Power’s) place: I also am formed
out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make you
afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy
upon you.
8 Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
and I have heard the voice of your words,
saying,
9 I am clean without transgression, I am
innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Behold, he finds occasions against
me, he counts me for his enemy,
11 He puts my feet in the stocks, he
marks all my paths.
12 Behold, in this you have not been
righteous: I will answer you, that Eloah is
greater than man.
13 Why do you strive against him? For he
1119
gives not account of any of his matters.
14 For El (The Power) speaks once, yes
twice, yet man perceives it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls upon men, in
slumbering upon the bed;
16 Then he opens the ears of men, and
seals their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his
purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keeps back his soul from the pit,
and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon
his bed, and the multitude of his bones with
strong pain:
20 So that his life hates lechem (bread),
and his soul desirable food.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it
cannot be seen; and his bones that were
not seen stick out.
22 Yes, his soul draws near to the pit,
and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger with him, an
interpreter, one among a thousand, to
show to man his uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious to him, and says,
deliver him from going down to the pit: I
have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a
child's: he shall return to the days of his
youth:
26 He shall pray to Elohim, and he will be
favorable to him: and he shall see his face
with joy: for he will render to man his
righteousness.
27 He looks upon men, and if any say, I
have sinned, and perverted that which was
right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into
the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29 Lo, all these things works El (The
Power) often times with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to
be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Mark well, O Iyob (Job), hearken to
me: hold your shalom (peace), and I will
speak.
 Job (Iyob)
32 If you have any thing to say, answer
me: speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, hearken to me: hold your
shalom (peace), and I shall teach you
wisdom.
Chapter 34
1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
2 Hear my words, O you wise men; and
give ear to me, you that have knowledge.
3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth
tastes food.
4 Let us choose to us right-ruling: let us
know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Iyob (Job) has said, I am righteous:
and El (The Power) has taken away my
right-ruling.
6 Should I lie against my right? My wound
is incurable without transgression.
7 What man is like Iyob (Job), who drinks
up scorning like mayim (water)?
8 Which goes in company with the
workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked
men.
9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing
that he should delight himself with Elohim.
10 Therefore hearken to me, you men of
understanding: far be it from El (The
Power), that he should do wickedness; and
from the Almighty, that he should commit
iniquity.
11 For the work of a man shall he render
to him, and cause every man to find
according to his ways.
12 Yes, surely El (The Power) will not do
wickedly; neither will the Almighty pervert
right-ruling.
13 Who has given him a charge over the
earth? Or who has disposed the whole
world?
14 If he set his heart upon man, if he
gather to himself his ruach (spirit) and his
breath;
15 All flesh shall perish together, and
man shall turn again to dust.
16 If now you have understanding, hear
this: hearken to the voice of my words.
1120
17 Shall even he that hates right govern?
And will you condemn him that is most
righteous?
18 Is it fit to say to a king, You are
wicked? And to princes, You are wicked?
19 How much less to him that accepts not
the persons of princes, nor regards the rich
more than the poor? For they all are the
work of his hands.
20 In a moment they shall die, and the
people shall be troubled at midnight, and
pass away: and the mighty shall be taken
away without hand.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of
man, and he sees all his goings.
22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of
death, where the workers of iniquity may
hide themselves.
23 For he will not lay upon man more
than right; that he should enter into right-
ruling with El (The Power).
24 He shall break in pieces mighty men
without number, and set others in their
place.
25 Therefore he knows their works, and
he overturns them in the night, so that they
are destroyed.
26 He strikes them as wicked men in the
open sight of others;
27 Because they turned back from him,
and would not consider any of his ways:
28 So that they cause the cry of the poor
to come to him, and he hears the cry of the
afflicted.
29 When he gives quietness, which then
can make trouble? And when he hides his
face, who then can behold him? Whether it
is done against a nation or against a man
only:
30 That the hypocrite reigns not, lest the
people be ensnared.
31 Surely it is right to be said to El (The
Power), I have borne chastisement, and I
will not offend any more:
32 That which I see not teaches you me:
if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
33 Should it be according to your mind?
 Job (Iyob)
He will recompense it, whether you refuse,
or whether you choose; and not I: therefore
speak what you know.
34 Let men of understanding tell me, and
let a wise man hearken to me.
35 Iyob (Job) has spoken without
knowledge, and his words were without
wisdom.
36 My desire is that Iyob (Job) may be
tried to the end because of his answers for
wicked men.
37 For he adds rebellion to his sin, he
claps his hands among us, and multiplies
his words against El (The Power).
Chapter 35
1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,
2 Do you think this to be right, that you
said, My righteousness is more than El's
(The Power’s)?
3 For you said, What advantage will it be
to you? And, What profit shall I have, if I be
cleansed from my sin?
4 I will answer you, and your companions
with you.
5 Look to the shamayim (heavens), and
see; and behold the clouds which are
higher than you.
6 If you sin, what do you do against him?
Or if your transgressions be multiplied,
what do you do to him?
7 If you be righteous, what do you give
him? Or what does he receive from your
hand?
8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as
you are; and your righteousness may profit
the son of man.
9 By reason of the multitude of
oppressions they make the oppressed to
cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of
the mighty.
10 But none says, Where is Eloah my
maker, who gives songs in the night;
11 Who teaches us more than the beasts
of the earth, and makes us wiser than the
fowls of shamayim (heaven)?
12 There they cry, but none gives
1121
answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely El (The Power) will not hear
vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
14 Although you say you shall not see
him, yet right-ruling is before him; therefore
trust in him.
15 But now, because it is not so, he has
visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in
great extremity:
16 Therefore does Iyob (Job) open his
mouth in vain; he multiplies words without
knowledge.
Chapter 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
2 Allow me a little, and I will show you
that I have yet to speak on Elohim's behalf.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and
will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4 For truly my words shall not be false: he
that is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5 Behold, El (The Power) is mighty, and
despises not any: he is mighty in strength
and wisdom.
6 He preserves not the life of the wicked:
but gives right to the poor.
7 He withdraws not his eyes from the
righteous: but with kings are they on the
throne; yes, he does establish them
forever, and they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be
held in cords of affliction;
9 Then he shows them their work, and
their transgressions that they have
exceeded.
10 He opens also their ear to discipline,
and commands that they return from
iniquity.
11 If they obey and serve him, they shall
spend their days in prosperity, and their
years in pleasures.
12 But if they obey not, they shall perish
by the sword, and they shall die without
knowledge.
13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up
wrath: they cry not when he binds them.
14 They die in youth, and their life is
 Job (Iyob)
among the unclean.
15 He delivers the poor in his affliction,
and opens their ears in oppression.
16 Even so would he have removed you
out of distress into a broad place, where
there is no distress; and that which should
be set on your table should be full of
fatness.
17 But you have fulfilled the right-ruling of
the wicked: right-ruling and justice take
hold on you.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest
he take you away with his stroke: then a
great ransom cannot deliver you.
19 Will he esteem your riches? No, not
gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20 Desire not the night, when people are
cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this
have you chosen rather than affliction.
22 Behold, El (The Power) exalts by his
power: who teaches like him?
23 Who has enjoined him his way? Or
who can say, You have wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that you magnify his work,
which men behold.
25 Every man may see it; man may
behold it afar off.
26 Behold, El (The Power) is great, and
we know him not, neither can the number
of his years be searched out.
27 For he makes small the drops of
mayim (water): they pour down rain
according to the clouds:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil
upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the
spreading of the clouds, or the noise of his
tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreads his light upon it,
and covers the bottom of the sea.
31 For by them judges he the people; he
gives food in abundance.
32 With clouds he covers the light; and
commands it not to shine by the cloud that
comes betwixt.
33 The noise there shows concerning it,
1122
the cattle also concerning what is coming
up.
Chapter 37
1 At this also my heart trembles, and is
moved out of his place.
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice,
and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 He directs it under the whole shamayim
(heavens), and his lightning to the ends of
the earth.
4 After it a voice roars: he thunders with
the voice of his excellence; and he will not
hold them back when his voice is heard.
5 El (The Power) thunders marvellously
with his voice; great things he does, which
we cannot comprehend.
6 For he says to the snow, Be on the
earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the
great rain of his strength.
7 He seals up the hand of every man;
that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and
remain in their places.
9 Out of the south comes the whirlwind:
and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath of El (The Power) frost
is given: and the breadth of the waters is
straitened.
11 He loads the thick cloud also with
moisture: he scatters his bright cloud:
12 And it is turned round about by his
counsels: that they may do whatsoever he
commands them upon the face of the world
in the earth.
13 He cause it to come, whether for
correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 Hearken to this, O Iyob (Job): stand
still, and consider the wondrous works of El
(The Power).
15 Do you know when Eloah disposed
them, and caused the light of his cloud to
shine?
16 Do you know the balancing of the
clouds, the wondrous works of him which is
perfect in knowledge?
17 How your garments are warm, when
 Job (Iyob)
he quiets the earth by the south wind?
18 Have you with him spread out the sky,
which is strong, and as a molten looking
glass?
19 Teach us what we shall say to him; for
we cannot order our speech by reason of
darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? If a
man speaks, surely he shall be swallowed
up.
21 And now men see not the bright light
which is in the clouds: but the wind passes,
and cleanses them.
22 Fair weather comes out of the north:
with Eloah is terrible majesty.
23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find
him out: he is excellent in power, and in
right-ruling, and in plenty of justice: he will
not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he
respects not any that are wise of heart.
Chapter 38
1 Then hwhy answered Iyob (Job) out of
the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkens counsel by
words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now your loins like a man; for I
will demand of you, and you answer me.
4 Where were you when I laid the
foundations of the earth? Declare, if you
have understanding.
5 Who has laid the measures of it, if you
know? Or who has stretched the line upon
it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations of it
fastened? Or who laid the corner stone of
it;
7 When the morning stars sang together,
and all the sons of Elohim shouted for
joy? 1
1 The angels sang, it is also believed that in the
distant past planets also made sounds, it maybe that
the sound could possibly be measured by some
modern instruments today if they still do this.
1123
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors,
when it broke forth, as if it had issued out
of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud the garment
and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
10 And broke up for it my decreed place,
and set bars and doors,
11 And said, This far shall you come, but
no further: and here shall your proud
waves remain?
12 Have you commanded the morning
since your days; and caused the dayspring
to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of
the earth, that the wicked might be shaken
out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and
they stand as a garment.
15 And from the wicked their light is
withheld, and the high arm shall be broken.
16 Have you entered into the springs of
the sea? Or have you walked in the search
of the depth?
17 Have the gates of death been
revealed to you? Or have you seen the
gates of the shadow of death?
18 Have you perceived the breadth of the
earth? Declare it if you know it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwells?
And as for darkness, where is the place of
it,
20 That you should take it to the bound of
it, and that you should know the paths to
the house of it?
21 Do you know it, because you were
then born? Or because the number of your
days is great?
22 Have you entered into the treasures of
the snow? Or have you seen the treasures
of the hail,
23 Which I have reserved against the
time of trouble, against the day of battle
and war?
24 By what way is the light parted, which
scatters the east wind upon the earth?
25 Who has divided a watercourse for the
overflowing of waters, or a way for the
 Job (Iyob)
lightning of thunder?
26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where
no man is; on the wilderness, wherein
there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste
ground; and to cause the bud of the tender
herb to spring forth?
28 Has the rain a father? Or who has
brought forth the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice?
And the hoary frost of shamayim
(heavens), who has gendered it?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen.
31 Can you bind the sweet influences of
the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?1
32 Can you bring forth constellations in
its season? Or can you lead Bear with its
sons?
33 Do you know the ordinances of the
shamayim (heaven)? Can you set the
dominion of it in the earth?
34 Can you lift up your voice to the
clouds, that abundance of waters may
cover you?
35 Can you send lightnings, that they
may go, and say to you, Here we are?
36 Who has put wisdom in the inward
parts? Or who has given understanding to
the heart?
37 Who can number the clouds in
wisdom? Or who can tip over the bottles of
shamayim (heaven),
38 When the dust sticks together into
clumps, and the clods cleave fast
together?
39 Will you hunt the prey for the lion? Or
fill the appetite of the young lions,
40 When they couch in their dens, and
wait in ambush to lie in wait?
41 Who provides for the raven his food?
When his young ones cry to El (The
Power), they wander for lack of food.
1 These are the only visible eye constellations in
direct gravitational bondage.
1124
Chapter 39
1 Do you know the time when the wild
mountain goats bear young? Or can you
mark when the deers calve?
2 Can you number the months that they
fulfill? Or you know the time when they
give birth?
3 They bow themselves, they bring forth
their young ones, and they cast out their
sorrows.
4 Their young ones are in good liking,
they grow up with grain; they go forth, and
return not to them.
5 Who has sent out the wild donkey free?
Or who has loosed the bands of the wild
donkey?
6 Whose house I have made the
wilderness and the barren land his
dwellings.
7 He scorns the multitude of the city,
neither regards he the crying of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his
pasture, and he searches after every green
thing.
9 Will the wild ox be willing to serve you,
or abide by your crib?
10 Can you bind the wild ox with his band
in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys
after you?
11 Will you trust him, because his
strength is great? Or will you leave your
labour to him?
12 Will you believe him that he will bring
home your seed, and gather it into your
barn?
13 The wings of the ostrich flap with joy
but they are not the pinions and plumage
of a stork.
14 For she leaves her eggs in the earth,
and warms them in the dust,
15 And forgets that the foot may crush
them, or that the wild beast may break
them.
16 She is hardened against her young
ones, as though they were not hers: her
labour is in vain without fear;
17 Because Eloah has deprived her of
 Job (Iyob)
wisdom, neither has he imparted to her
understanding.
18 What time she lifts up herself on high,
she scorns the horse and his rider.
19 Have you given the war horse
strength? Have you clothed his neck with
thunder?
20 Can you make him afraid as a locust?
The glory of his nostrils is terrible.
21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in
his strength: he goes on to meet the armed
men.
22 He mocks at fear, and is not afraid;
neither turns he back from the sword.
23 The quiver rattles against him, the
glittering spear and the shield.
24 He swallows the ground with
fierceness and rage: neither believes he
that it is the sound of the shofar.
25 He says among the shofarim, Ha, ha;
and he smells the battle afar off, the
thunder of the commanders, and the
shouting.
26 Does the hawk fly by your wisdom,
and stretch her wings toward the south?
27 Does the eagle Mount up at your
command, and make her nest on high?
28 She dwells and abides on the rock,
upon the crag of the rock, and the strong
place.
29 From there she seeks the prey, and
her eyes behold afar off.
30 Her young ones also suck up blood:
and where the slain are, there is she.
Chapter 40
1 Moreover hwhy answered Iyob (Job),
and said,
2 Shall he that contends with the
Almighty instruct him? He that reproves
Eloah let him answer it.
3 Then Iyob (Job) answered hwhy, and
said,
4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer
you? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 Once have I spoken; but I will not
answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no
1125
further.
6 Then answered hwhy to Iyob (Job) out
of the whirlwind, and said,
7 Gird up your loins now like a man: I will
demand of you, and declare you to me.
8 Will you also disannul my judgment?
Will you condemn me, that you may be
righteous?
9 Have you an arm like El (The Power)?
Or can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Deck yourself now with majesty and
excellence; and array yourself with glory
and beauty.
11 Cast abroad the rage of your wrath:
and behold every one that is proud, and
abase him.
12 Look on every one that is proud, and
bring him low; and tread down the wicked
in their place.
13 Hide them in the dust together; and
bind their faces in secret.
14 Then will I also confess to you that
your own right hand can save you.
15 Behold now behemoth,1 which I made
with you; he eats grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and
his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 He moves his tail like a cedar: the
sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 His bones are as strong pieces of
brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 He is the chief of the ways of El (The
Power): he that made him can make his
sword to approach to him.
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth
food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lies under the shady etzim (trees),
in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady etzim (trees) cover him
with their shadow; the willows of the brook
surround him.
23 Behold, he drinks up a river, and
hurries not: he trusts that he can draw up
Yardan (Jordan) into his mouth.

 Job (Iyob)
understood not; things too wonderful for
me, which I knew not.
4 Hear, I beseech you, and I will speak: I
will demand of you, and declare you to me.
5 I have heard of you by the hearing of
the ear: but now my eye sees you.
6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in
dust and ashes.
7 And it was so, that after hwhy had
spoken these words to Iyob (Job), hwhy
said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is
kindled against you,1 and against your two
friends: for you have not spoken of me the
thing that is right, as my servant Iyob (Job)
has.
8 Therefore take to yourselves now
seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to
my servant Iyob (Job), and offer up for
yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant
Iyob (Job) shall pray for you: for him will I
accept: lest I deal with you after your folly,
in that you have not spoken of me the thing
which is right, like my servant Iyob (Job).
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the
Shuhite and Tsophar the Naamathite went,
and did according to as hwhy had
commanded them: hwhy also accepted
Iyob (Job).
10 And hwhy turned the captivity of Iyob
(Job), when he prayed for his friends: also
hwhy gave Iyob (Job) twice as much as he
had before.
1 And it was so, that after YHVH had spoken these
words unto Job, YHWH said to Eliphaz the Temanite,
Eliphaz was one of Job’s friend who put doubts in
Job’s life. Amalek was the illegitimate son of Eliphaz,
and the grandson of Esav. The Islamists are directly
related to these people and also put doubts in
believers minds to remove them from YHWH. And
the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and
Gatam, and Kenaz. And Timna was concubine to
Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek:
these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife. (Gen 36:
11-12)
Midrash Rabbah - Genesis Lxxxii:14 And Timna Was
Concubine To Eliphaz Esau's Son (Xxxvi, 14).
11 Then came there to him all his
brethren, and all his sisters, and all they
that had been of his acquaintance before,
and did eat lechem (bread) with him in his
house: and they sympathised with him, and
comforted him over all the disaster that
hwhy had brought upon him: every man
also gave him a piece of silver coin, and an
earring of gold.
12 So hwhy blessed the latter end of Iyob
(Job) more than his beginning: for he had
fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand
camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and
a thousand female donkeys.2
13 He had also seven sons and three
daughters.
14 And he called the name of the first,
Yemima; and the name of the second,
Ketzia; and the name of the third, Keren-
happuch.
15 And in all the land were no women
found as fair as the daughters of Iyob
(Job): and their father gave them
inheritance among their brethren.
16 After this lived Iyob (Job) a hundred
and forty years, and saw his sons, and his
grandsons, even four generations.
17 So Iyob (Job) died, being old and full
of days. ‫ת‬

Sul’ahmon (Solomon)'s.
2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his
mouth: for your love is better than wine.
3 Because of the savour of your good
ointments your name is as an ointment
poured forth, therefore do the virgins love
you.
4 Draw me, we will run after you: the
king has brought me into his chambers:
we will be glad and rejoice in you, we will
remember your love more than wine: the
upright love you.2
5 I am black,3 but comely, O you
daughters of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
as the tents of Kedar,4 as the curtains of
Sul’ahmon (Solomon).
6 Look not upon me, because I am
black, because the sun has looked upon
me: my mother's children were angry with
me; they made me the keeper of the
vineyards; but my own vineyard have I

(47 of which appear only in this book), Jewish
tradition (the Mishnah, the Talmud, and the

of the love of YHWH for Israel.
2 The allegory behind this letter is of Yahushua
and the assembly, while with Solomon the Pashat
reading is the love of his wife.
3 It may be shocking for some but black is a
beautiful color, ever seen a black stallion? King
Solomon was black and born from his mother who
was also jet black, the beautiful Bathsheba.

7 Tell me, O you whom my soul loves,
where you feed, where you make your
flock to rest at noon: for why should I be
as one that turns aside by the flocks of
your companions?
8 If you know not, O you fairest among
women, go your way forth by the
footsteps of the flock, and feed your kids
beside the shepherds' tents.
9 I have compared you, O my love, to a
company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Your cheeks are comely with rows of
jewels, your neck with chains of gold.
11 We will make you borders of gold
with studs of silver.
12 While the king sits at his table, my
spikenard sends forth the smell of it.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my well beloved
to me; he shall lie all night between my
breasts.
14 My beloved is to me as a cluster of
camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
15 Behold, you are fair, my love; behold,
you are fair; you have doves' eyes.
16 Behold, you are fair, my beloved,
yes, pleasant: also our bed is green.
17 The beams of our house are cedar,
and our rafters of fir.

1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of
the valleys.
2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love
among the daughters.
3 As the apple etz (tree) among the
etzim (trees) of the wood, so is my
beloved among the sons. I sat down
under his shadow with great delight, and
his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting
house, and his banner over me was love.
5 Strengthen me with raisin cakes,
comfort me with apples: for I am sick of
love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and
his right hand does embrace me.
 Song of Songs (Shir HaShirim)
7 I put you under oath, O you daughters
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), by the
gazelles, and by the female deers of the
field, that you stir not up, nor awake my
love, till he please.
8 The voice of my beloved! Behold, he
comes leaping upon the mountains,
skipping upon the hills.
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a
young stag: behold, he stands behind our
wall, he looks forth at the windows,
showing himself through the opening.
10 My beloved spoke, and said to me,
Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come
away.
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is
over and gone;
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the
time of the singing of birds is come, and
the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
13 The fig etz (tree) puts forth her green
figs, and the vines with the tender grape
give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair
one, and come away.
14 O my dove, that are in the clefts of
the rock, in the secret places of the stairs,
let me see your countenance, let me hear
your voice; for sweet is your voice, and
your countenance is comely.
15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes that
spoil the vines: for our vines have tender
grapes.
16 My beloved is my, and I am his: he
feeds among the lilies.
17 Until the day break and the shadows
flee away, turn, my beloved, and be you
like a gazelle or a young stag upon the
mountains of Bether.
Chapter 3
1 By night on my bed I sought him
whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I
found him not.
2 I will rise now, and go about the city in
the streets, and in the broad ways I will
seek him whom my soul loves: I sought
him, but I found him not.
1129
3 The watchmen that go about the city
found me: to whom I said, Did you see
him whom my soul loves?
4 It was but a little that I passed from
them, but I found him whom my soul
loves: I held him, and would not let him
go, until I had brought him into my
mother's house, and into the chamber of
her that conceived me.
5 I put you under an oath, O you
daughters of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
by the gazelles, and by the female deers
of the field, that you stir not up, nor
awake my love, till he please.
6 Who is this that comes out of the
wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed
with myrrh and frankincense, with all
powders of the merchant?
7 Behold his bed, which is Sul’ahmon
(Solomon)'s; sixty valiant men are around
it, of the valiant of Yah’sar’el (Israel).
8 They all hold swords, being expert in
war: every man has his sword upon his
thigh because of fear in the night.
9 King Sul’ahmon (Solomon) made
himself a chariot of the forest of Lebanon.
10 He made the pillars of silver, the
bottom of gold, the covering of it of
purple, the midst thereof being paved
with love, for the daughters of
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
11 Go forth, O you daughters of Tsiyon,
and behold King Sul’ahmon (Solomon)
with the crown wherewith his mother
crowned him in the day of his espousals,
and in the day of the gladness of his
heart.

you are fair; you eyes behind your veil
are like doves: your hair is as a flock of

Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
that are even shorn, which came up from
the washing; whereof every one bear
 Song of Songs (Shir HaShirim)
twins, and none is barren among them.
3 Your lips are like a thread of scarlet,
and your speech is comely: your cheeks
behind your veil are like a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of Dawud
(David) built for an armoury, whereon
there hang a thousand shields, all shields
of mighty men.
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns
that are twins of a gazelle, which graze
among the lilies.
6 Until the day break and the shadows
flee away, I will get me to the mountain of
myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7 You are all fair, my love; there is no
spot in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my
bride, with me from Lebanon: look from
the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir
and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from
the mountains of the leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister,
my bride; you have stolen my heart with
one glance of your eyes, with one bead of
your neck chain.
10 How fair is your love, my sister, my
bride! How much better is your love than
wine! And the smell of your ointments
than all spices!
11 Your lips, O my bride, drop as the
honeycomb: honey and milk are under
your tongue; and the smell of your
garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12 A garden locked is my sister, my
bride; a spring shut up, a fountain locked.
13 Your plants are an orchard of
pomegranates, with pleasant fruits;
camphire, with spikenard,
14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and
cinnamon, with all etzim (trees) of
frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all
the chief spices:
15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living
waters, and streams from Lebanon.

south; blow upon my garden that the
spices thereof may flow out. Let my

dew, and my locks with the drops of the

it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I
defile them?
4 My beloved put in his hand by the
hole of the door, and my feelings were
deeply moved for him.
5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and
my hands dropped with myrrh, and my
fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon
the handles of the lock.
6 I opened to my beloved; but my
beloved had withdrawn himself, and was
gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I
sought him, but I could not find him; I
called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 The watchmen that went about the
city found me, they smote me, they
wounded me; the keepers of the walls
took away my veil from me.
8 I put you under an oath, O daughters
of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), if you find
my beloved, that you tell him, that I am
faint with love.
9 What is your beloved more than
another beloved, O you fairest among
women? What is your beloved more than
another beloved, that you have put us
under oath?
 Song of Songs (Shir HaShirim)
10 My beloved is dazzling1and ruddy,
the chiefest among ten thousand.
11 His head is as the most pure gold,
his locks2 are curly, and black as a raven.
12 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by
the rivers of waters, washed with milk,
and fitly set.
13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices,
as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies,
dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14 His hands are as gold rings set with
the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory
overlaid with sapphires.
15 His legs are as pillars of marble, set
upon sockets of fine gold: his
countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as

altogether lovely. This is my beloved,3

praised her.

1 How beautiful are your feet with
sandals, O prince's daughter! The curves
of your thighs are like jewels, the work of
the hands of an expert craftsman.
2 Your navel is like a rounded bowl, let it
lack not mixed wine: your belly is like a
heap of wheat hedged about with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two young
fawns that are twins of gazelles.
4 Your neck is as a tower of ivory; your
eyes like the pools in Heshbon, by the

tower of Lebanon which looks toward
Damascus.
5 Your head upon you is like Carmel,
and the hair of your head like purple; the
king is held in the galleries.

love, for delights!
7 This your stature is like a palm etz

grapes.
8 I said I will go up to the palm etz

thereof: now also your breasts shall be as
clusters of the vine, and the smell of your
nose like apples;

best wine for my beloved, that goes down
sweetly, causing the lips of those that are
asleep to speak.
10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is
toward me.

into the field; let us lodge in the villages.

let us see if the vine flourish, whether the
tender grape appear, and the
pomegranates bud forth: there will I give
you my loves.

which nursed the breasts of my mother!2
When I should find you without, I would
kiss you; yes, I should not be despised.

my mother's house, who would instruct
me: I would cause you to drink of spiced

wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I

there she brought you forth that bare you.

a seal upon your arm: for love is strong
as death; jealousy is cruel as She’ol: the

a most vehement flame.3

neither can the floods drown it: if a man

1 Now it came to pass in the days when
the judges ruled,1 that there was a famine
in the land. And a certain man of Beyth-
lechem (Bethlehem) of Yahudah went to
sojourn in the country of Moab,2 he, and
his wife, and his two sons.

Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of
Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem) of Yahudah.
And they came into the country of Moab,
and continued there.

and she was left, and her two sons.
4 And they took them wives of the
women of Moab; the name of the one
was Orpah,4 and the name of the other

Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten
1 The story of Ruth takes place during the time of
the Judges. It was a time of confusion and turmoil
in Israel, with only temporary periods of peace and
prosperity.
2 These were the areas that the twelve tribes had
concquiered during Moses and Joshua’s time. The
two tribes Gawd and Reuben had settled there.
3 The name meanings of Mahlon – Sickly,
Unhealthy; to blot out and Chilion - Pining Away,
to perish and Elimaelk - El is my King’, Naomi -
pleasant and Moab Desirable land’.
4
Orpah means "The back of one’s Neck" or "One
who turns back". According to Jewish tradition
Orpah was mother of the giants.
5 Ruth means Friend and Comrade. Ruth is
read at Shavuot which is also called in Hebrew
Atzaret Pesach. Historically, this feast was
observed as an agricultural feast. It represented
years.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also
both of them; and the woman was left of
her two sons and her husband.
6 Then she arose with her daughters in
law that she might return from the country
of Moab: for she had heard in the country
of Moab how that hwhy had visited his
people in giving them lechem (bread).
7 Therefore she went forth out of the
place where she was, and her two
daughters in law with her; and they went
on the way to return to the land of
Yahudah (Judah).
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters
in law, Go, return each to her mother's
house: hwhy deal kindly with you, as you
have dealt with the dead, and with me.6
9 hwhy grant you that you may find rest,
the beginning of the wheat harvest, just as
Passover represented the beginning of the barley
harvest.
There is one opinion of the orthodox Rabbis that
that Ruth was a genetic Moabitess and she
converted into Judaism according to the oral
Torah. We do not agree with the oral Torah’s
opinion that she was a genetic Moabitess. We
believe that she was of an Israelite heritage and
not gentile at all. They were living in the portions
of Jordan which were areas occupied at one time
by the Israelite tribes which they had fully
conquered, read Deuteronomy 2:32-34. When King
Sihon was defeated and his people utterly wiped
out both men and women so how could Ruth end
up living there from a foreign nation that was wiped
out? Judges 11:12-26 tells us that these lands
belonged to and were occupied by the Israelites
even two hundred years later so how could Ruth
ever be a foreigner and the Messiah’s line cannot
be corrupted with hybrids. She was from an
Israelite origin that is how the Messiah’s line is
pure. In the author’s opinion Naomi and her
husband would not marry their children into
gentiles especially those forbidden to join the
congregation of Adonai.
6 This custom is still practiced in the East where
the widows if they do not have support return back
to their father’s house. They were told to go back
to their Israelite family.
1134
 Ruth (Root)
each of you in the house of her husband.
Then she kissed them; and they lifted up
their voice, and wept.
10 And they said to her, Surely we will
return with you to your people.1
11 And Naomi said, Return, my
daughters: why will you go with me? Are
there yet any more sons in my womb,
that they may be your husbands?
12 Return, my daughters, go your way;
for I am too old to have a husband. If I
should say, I have hope, if I should have
a husband also tonight, and should also
bear sons;
13 Would you wait for them till they
were grown? Would you stay for them
from having husbands? No, my
daughters; for it grieves me much for your
sakes that the hand of hwhy is gone out
against me.
14 And they lifted up their voice, and
1 Ruth was brought up in the area of the Moabites
which were gentile. According to the second
opinion she was part of Israel already and without
conversion because she belonged to Israelite
families living in Jordan. It is like a Jewish man
born and brought up in England, he will be called
British and not Israeli and if he returned to Israel
they will see him as an immigrant returning to the
land of his forefathers.
There was a strict injunction against the Moabites
not to join the congregation of Elohim at least for
ten generations, Deut 23:3. If we calculate 70
years for a generation then that makes 700 years.
If we minus that from 1380 BC when the Torah
was completed we go past the time of King
Solomon. If we make the generation shorter to 40
years even then we deduct 400 years from 1380
then we arrive at the birth time of King David,
either way this is a serious error to call Ruth a
gentile because there is no way she cold join as a
gentile to the congregation of YHWH. The
genealogy of the Messiah is actually pure of any
gentile inference whatsoever and needs to remain
pure. The way the Jewish people get around this
problem is by believing that women can convert to
Judaism and men cannot.
wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother
in law; but Ruth clave to her.
15 And she said, Behold, your sister in
law is gone back to her people, and to
her mighty ones: return after your sister in
law.
16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to
leave you, or to return from following after
you: for where you go, I will go; and
where you lodge, I will lodge: your people
are my people, and your High Power is
my High Power:2
17 Where you die, will I die, and there
will I be buried: hwhy do so to me, and
more also, if ought but death part you and
me.
18 When she saw that she was
steadfastly minded to go with her, then
she left speaking to her.
19 So they two went until they came to
Beyth-lechem (Bethlehem). And it came
to pass, when they were come to Beyth-
lechem (Bethlehem), that all the city was
moved about them, and they said, is this
Naomi?
2 Merely confirming what is already in the text that
her Adonai was YHWH and not some other
heathen deity. What many do not realize here is
that in the ancient times each area had a heathen
deity assigned to it so deities or gods were local to
places. Ruth affirms in the positive that her Elohim
is indeed the same as Naomi; by this she affirms
affinity to Naomi. Ruth is not from the line of Lot
as wrongly assumed. Israel’s kings could not come
from a corrupted line there is valid evidence that
the Messiah had a pure line. The text to search out
in the Torah that says to preserve the line is in
Deut 17:15 where this line was to be preserved for
kings. Some bible translations add the word here
‘your God shall be my God.” The word ‘shall’ is
supplied and does not exist in the Hebrew text.
Also those who reason that Rachab the harlot was
also in the line of Messiah are mistaken, she was
not. There are two Rachab’s and she was not the
one in His lineage. Christians mistakenly corrupt
the lineage of Messiah by introducing an incestual
genealogy into the Messiah namely of Lot’s
daughters, this can never stand!

 Ruth (Root)
20 And she said to them, Call me not
Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty
has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 I went out full, and hwhy has brought
me home again empty: why then you call
me Naomi, seeing hwhy has testified
against me, and the Almighty has afflicted
me?
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the
Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her,
which returned out of the country of
Moab: and they came to Beyth-lechem
(Bethlehem) in the beginning of barley
harvest.1
Chapter 2
1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her
husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the
clan of Elimelech; and his name was
Boaz.2
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to
Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and
3
glean heads of grain after him in whose
sight I shall find favour. And she said to
her, Go, my daughter.
3 And she went, and came, and
gleaned in the field after the harvesters:
and she ended up in a part of the field
belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of
Elimelech.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Beyth-
lechem (Bethlehem), and said to the
harvesters, hwhy be with you. And they
1 During the time of Passover season.
2 Boaz name meaning is ‘In Him there is strength’
The rabbis teach that Boaz was the judge of his
time, and connect him to Ibzan (Judges).
3 The bibles translating this as corn are incorrect,
it was wheat and not corn because that is what
follows the barley crop in Israel, also look at the
passage in Ruth 2:23 to confirm this detail.
answered him, hwhy bless you.4
5 Then said Boaz to his servant that
was set over the harvesters, to who does
this young woman belongs?
6 And the servant that was set over the
harvesters answered and said, it is the
Moabitish young woman that came back
with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean
and gather after the harvesters among
the sheaves: so she came, and has
continued even from the morning until
now, that she waited a little in the house.
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, Listen
carefully, my daughter?5 Go not to glean
in another field, neither go from here, but
stay here fast by my female workers:
9 Let your eyes be on the field that they
do reap, and go after them: have I not
commanded the young men that they
shall not touch you? And when you are
thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that
which the young men have drawn.
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed
herself to the ground, and said to him,
Why have I found favour in your eyes,
that you should take knowledge of me,
seeing I am a foreigner?
11 And Boaz answered and said to her,
it has fully been showed me, all that you
have done to your mother in law since the
death of your husband: and how you
have left your father and your mother,
and the land of your nativity,6 and have
come to a people which you knew not
previously.
4 In Boaz’ time it was very common to use the
sacred name as a blessing when going out or
coming in.
5Calling someone daughter in the ancient times
was a respectful form of greeting and it in no way
made the woman the daughter of the man.
Remember Boaz was much older than Ruth.
6A former Israelite returning to her own land even
Boaz understood this fact.
1136
 Ruth (Root)
12 hwhy recompense your work, and a
full reward be given you of hwhy Elohim
of Yah’sar’el (Israel), under whose wings
you have come to trust.
13 Then she said, Let me find favour in
your sight, my master; for that you have
comforted me, and for that you have
spoken friendly to your handmaid, though
I be not like one of your handmaidens.
14 And Boaz said to her, at mealtime
come here, and eat of the lechem
(bread), and dip your morsel in the
vinegar. And she sat beside the
harvesters: and he passed her roasted
grain, and she ate, and was filled, and
then left.
15 And when she was risen up to glean,
Boaz commanded his young men,
saying, Let her glean even among the
bundles, and reproach her not:
16 And drop some ears of grain
deliberately, and leave them, that she
may pick them up, and do not rebuke her.
17 So she gleaned in the field until the
evening, and beat out that she had
gleaned: and it was about an ephah of
barley.
18 And she took it up, and went into the
city: and her mother in law saw what she
had gleaned: and she brought forth, and
gave to her that she had reserved after
she was full.
19 And her mother in law said to her,
Where have you gleaned today? And
where did you work? Blessed be he that
took notice of you. And she showed her
mother in law with whom she had
worked, and said, The man's name with
whom I worked today is Boaz.
20 And Naomi said to her daughter in
law, Blessed be he of hwhy, who has not
left off his kindness to the living and to
the dead. And Naomi said to her, The
man is near of kin to us, one of our next
kinsmen.
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He
said to me also, You shall keep fast by
1137
my young men, until they have ended all
my harvest.
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter
in law, It is good, my daughter, that you
go out with his maidens, that they meet
you not in any other field.
23 So she kept fast by the maidens of
Boaz to glean to the end of barley harvest
and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her
mother in law.
Chapter 3
1 Then Naomi her mother in law said to
her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for
you, that it may be well with you?
2 And now is not Boaz of our clan, with
whose maidens you were? Behold, he
winnows barley tonight in the threshing
floor.
3 Wash yourself therefore, and anoint
yourself with fragrance, and put nice
clothes on, and get down to the floor: but
make not yourself known to the man, until
he shall have done with eating and
drinking.
4 And it shall be, when he lies down,
that you shall mark the place where he
shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover
his feet, and lay down beside him;1 and
he will tell you what you shall do.
5 And she said to her, All that you say to
me I will do.
6 And she went down to the floor, and
did according to all that her mother in law
told her.
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk,
and his heart was merry, he went to lie
down at the end of the heap of grain: and
she came softly, and uncovered his feet,
and laid herself down.
8 And it came to pass at midnight, that
the man was afraid, and turned himself:
1 To lay down like this was to ask your hand to be
taken in marriage so what Ruth was asking by
doing this was Boaz take me as your wife.
 Ruth (Root)
and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 And he said, Who are you? And she
answered, I am Ruth your handmaid:
spread therefore your skirt over your
handmaid; for you are a near kinsman.1
10 And he said, Blessed are you of
hwhy, my daughter: for you have showed
more kindness in the latter end than at
the beginning, inasmuch as you followed
not young men, whether poor or rich.2
11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I will
do to you all that you require: for all the
city of my people do know that you are a
virtuous woman.
12 And now it is true that I am your near
3
kinsman: but there is a kinsman nearer
than I.4
13 Stay this night, and it shall be in the
morning, that if he will perform to you the
part of a kinsman, well; let him do the
kinsman's part: but if he will not do the
part of a kinsman to you, then will I do the
part of a kinsman to you, as hwhy lives:
1Here in the Hebrew words Ruth is asking for
marriage and Boaz understood what she asked.
2 Since Ruth was still young and asking for
betrothal and not chasing after young men that is
why Boaz is so impressed and he was a lot older
than Ruth.
3 Yahushua is our nearest kinsman redeemer, as
Israel/Ephraim was divorced (Jer 3: 8) and sent to
exile so only the kinsman redeemer who is from
Judah can bring her back. Therefore, in Rev 5 we
see only Yahushua is able to open the 7 sealed
books because there no one other than the
kinsman redeemer is worthy under heaven and
earth because He has brought His bride (Ephraim)
by His precious blood back into the covenants of
Abraham, Yahsac and Ya’akob.
4 Since Ruth was asking for a levirate marriage it
is quite clear to us that Ruth was a pure Israelite
and not a gentile in anyway or shape as explained
earlier.
lie down until the morning.5
14 And she lay at his feet until the
morning: and she rose up before one
could know another. And he said, Let it
not be known that a woman came into the
floor.
15 Also he said, Bring the veil that you
have upon you, and hold it. And when
she held it, he measured six measures of
barley, and laid it on her: and she went
into the city.
16 And when she came to her mother in
law, she said, how did things turn out my
daughter? And she told her all that the
man had done to her.
17 And she said, These six measures of
barley he gave me; for he said to me, Go
not empty to your mother in law.
18 Then she said, Sit still, my daughter,
until you know how the matter will fall: for
the man will not be in rest, until he has
finished the thing this day.
Chapter 4
1 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and
sat him down there: and, behold, the
kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by;
to whom he said, turn aside, such a one,
sit down here. And he turned aside, and
sat down.
2 And he took ten men6 of the elders of
the city, and said, Sit down here. And
they sat down.
3 And he said to the kinsman, Naomi
that has returned out of the country of
Moab, sells a parcel of land, which was
our brother Elimelech's:
4 And I thought to ask you, saying, Buy
it before the inhabitants, and before the

man who was also able to conduct the levirate
marriage but it was not meant to be as YHWH

elders of my people. If you will redeem it,
redeem it: but if you will not redeem it,
then tell me, that I may know: for there is
none to redeem it beside you; and I am
after you. And he said, I will redeem it.
5 Then said Boaz, on the day you buy
the field at the hand of Naomi, you must
buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife
of the dead, to raise up the name of the
dead upon his inheritance.1
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot
redeem it for myself, lest I ruin my own
inheritance: redeem my right to yourself;
for I cannot redeem it.
7 Now this was formerly done in
Yah’sar’el (Israel) concerning redeeming
and concerning changing, for to confirm
all things; a man plucked off his sandal,
and gave it to his neighbour: and this was
a testimony in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
8 Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz,
Buy it for you. So he drew off his sandal.
9 And Boaz said to the elders, and to all
the people, You are witnesses this day,
that I have bought all that was
Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and
Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.
10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the
wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be
my wife, to raise up the name of the dead
upon his inheritance, that the name of the
dead be not cut off from among his
brethren,2 and from the gate of his place:

2 Boaz would not marry a gentile convert knowing
that the Torah forbids such a relationship.
Nowhere is Ruth called a gentile yet most of the
Christian world is teaching this error. She is called
a Moabitess just as the author is called a Pakistani
from Pakistan but living in England, he would be
called British and not Pakistani. She was an
Israelite who was dwelling in Moab hence called a
Moabitess. All her family line was Israelites.
gate, and the elders, said, We are
witnesses. hwhy make the woman that is
come into your house like Rachel and like
Leah, which two did build the house of
Yah’sar’el (Israel): and do you worthily in
Ephratah, and be famous in Beyth-
lechem (Bethlehem):
12 And let your house be like the house
of Perez, whom Tamar bare to Yahudah
(Judah),3 of the seed which hwhy shall
give you of this young woman.
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his
wife: and when he went in to her, hwhy
gave her conception, and she bare a
son.4
14 And the women said to Naomi,
Blessed be hwhy, which has not left you
this day without a kinsman, that his name
may be famous in Yah’sar’el (Israel).
15 And he shall be to you a restorer of
your life, and a nourisher of your old age:
for your daughter in law, which loves you,
which is better to you than seven sons,
has born him.
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it
in her bosom, and became nurse to it.
17 And the women her neighbours gave
it a name, saying, There is a son born to
Naomi; and they called his name Obed:
he is the father of Yishai (Jesse), the
father of Dawud (David).
18 Now these are the generations of
Perez: Perez begat Hetzron,5
3 The Messianic line is thru Judah.
4 Boaz married Ruth and died after one night
according to Jewish traditions, she conceived as
per the plan of YHWH and Obed was born the
grandfather of King David. According to the Zohar
Boaz came into the world for this one night to give
seed for the coming Messiah.
5 The Hebrew word for generations is ‘Toledoth’
which is always written in the Bible without the
letter Vav, a letter signifying number 6 and the
Hebrew picture of the nail to connect things
together. In Genesis 2:4 and Ruth 4:18, however

19 And Hetzron begat Ram, and Ram
begat Amminadab,
20 And Amminadab begat Nachshon,
and Nachshon begat Salmon,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz
begat Obed,
22 And Obed begat Yishai (Jesse), and
Yishai (Jesse) begat Dawud (David).‫ת‬

the letter Vav occurs in toledoth meaning the

connecting Messiah. After fall of Adam subsequent
to Genesis 2:4, Adam lost Vav i.e. six things; his
glorious sheen (Job 14: 20); life (Gen 3:19); his
stature (Gen: 8); the fruit of the ground and trees
(Gen:3:17); and the heavenly lights. In Gen 2:4,
the Vav is still there in the toledoth (but in Gen 5:
one Vav is missing) because Adam still possesses
six gifts and the letter reappears in Ruth 4:18
because these 6 things are to be restored to man
by the son of ‘Perez’ ultimately thru whom
Yahushua comes.

Chapter 1

1 Chapter 1 of Lamentations has 22 verses, the
same as the number of letters in the Hebrew
alphabet. The chapter is an acrostic, and therefore
each verse starts with the next letter of the
Hebrew alphabet in turn. Thus, the first verse
starts with the Hebrew letter Alef, the next verse
starts with the Hebrew letter Bet, the next verse
starts with Gimel and so on, until finally verse 22
starts with the Hebrew letter Tav.
Chapter 2 of Lamentations repeats this same
acrostic pattern, with each of the 22 verses
starting with the next letter of the Hebrew
alphabet. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T

If you note that the acrostic in chapter two though
contains 22 verses but there is a difference in
order of the P and Q where there are reversed. In
the Hebrew the U and P are reversed. This is
drawing us towards the fact that there is possibly
an imbalance a kind of reversal or tragic
circumstances that surround Judah and Jerusalem.
In chapter 3 of Lamentations, the pattern of the
acrostic changes. The verses are in groups of
three, with each group starting with the same
Hebrew letter, going through each of the letters of
the Hebrew alphabet in turn. This is similar to
Psalm 119, but in groups of three verses rather
than groups of eight.
In chapter 4 of Lamentations, the pattern of the
acrostic again reverts to that of the first two
chapters, where each verse starts with the next
letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
Finally, in chapter 5 of Lamentations, there are 22
verses. However, despite having 22 verses, there
is no acrostic in this chapter. Why is this? Possibly,
if an acrostic represents order, beauty and
elegance, it means that by the end of
Lamentations, when Jerusalem has been captured

full of people! How is she become as a
widow! She that was great among the
nations, and princess among the
provinces, how is she become a slave!
2 She weeps sore in the night, and her
tears are on her cheeks: among all her
lovers she has none to comfort her: all
her friends have dealt treacherously with
her, they have become her enemies.
3 Yahudah (Judah) is gone into captivity
because of affliction, and because of
great servitude: she dwells among the
nations, she finds no rest: all her
persecutors overtook her between the
straits.
4 The ways of Tsiyon do mourn,
because none come to the Moe’dim
(solemn feasts): all her gates are
desolate: her kohenim (priests) sigh, her
virgins are afflicted, and she is in
bitterness.
5 Her adversaries are the chief; her
enemies prosper; for hwhy has afflicted
her for the multitude of her
transgressions: her children are gone into
captivity before the enemy.
6 And from the daughter of Tsiyon all
her beauty is departed: her princes are
become like deers that find no pasture,
and they are gone without strength before
the pursuer.
7 Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
remembered in the days of her affliction
and of her miseries all her pleasant things
that she had in ancient times, when her
people fell into the hand of the enemy,
and none did help her: the adversaries
saw her, and did mock at her Sabbaths.
8 Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) has
grievously sinned; therefore she is
and the city spoiled, there is no longer any order
or beauty. The city is filled with chaos, destruction
and bloodshed.

removed:1 all that honoured her despise
her, because they have seen her
nakedness: yes, she sighs, and turns
backward.
9 Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she
remembers not her last end; therefore
she came down wonderfully: she had no
comforter. O hwhy, behold my affliction:
for the enemy has magnified himself.
10 The adversary has spread out his
hand upon all her pleasant things: for she
has seen that the nations entered into her
sanctuary, whom you did command that
they should not enter into your
congregation.
11 All her people sigh, they seek
lechem (bread); they have given their
pleasant things for food to relieve the
soul: see, O hwhy, and consider; for I am
become vile.
12 Is it nothing to you, all you that pass
by? Behold, and see if there be any
sorrow like to my sorrow, which is done to
me, wherewith hwhy has afflicted me in
the day of his fierce anger.
13 From above has he sent fire into my
bones, and it overpowered them: he has
spread a net for my feet, he has turned
me back: he has made me desolate and
weary all the day.
14 My sins are bound around my neck
like a yoke by his hands: he has made
my strength to fall, Adonai (My Master:
My Lord) has delivered me into their
hands, from whom I am not able to rise

desolate and if because of disobedience 7 times
more (7x70=490 years or 10x7=70years). Since
the Israelite did not give the land its proper rest
Elohim had to act to make sure that this did
happen. YHWH commanded the rest of the land in
Lev 25:4 and 26:18 but the Hebrews just did not
care and therefore had to pay the penalty with
interest added on top. Christians who also do not
obey YHWH will have to face the consequences of
their sin one day with Adonai.

up.
15 Adonai (The Master: The Lord) has
trodden under foot all my mighty men in
the midst of me: he has called an
assembly against me to crush my young
men: Adonai (My Master: My Lord) has
trodden the virgin, the daughter of
Yahudah (Judah), as in a winepress.
16 For these things I weep; my eye, my
eye runs down with mayim (water),
because the comforter that should relieve
my soul is far from me: my children are
desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
17 Tsiyon spreads forth her hands, and
there is none to comfort her: hwhy has
commanded concerning Ya’acob (Jacob),
that his adversaries should be round
about him: Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) is
as a menstruating woman among them.
18 hwhy is righteous; for I have rebelled
against his commandment: hear, I pray
you, all people, and behold my sorrow:
my virgins and my young men are gone
into captivity.
19 I called for my lovers, but they
deceived me: my kohenim (priests) and
my elders breathed their last in the city,
while they sought their food to relieve
their souls.
20 Behold, O hwhy; for I am in distress:
my bowels are troubled; my heart is
turned within me; for I have grievously
rebelled: abroad the sword bereaves, at
home there is as death.
21 They have heard that I sigh: there is
none to comfort me: all my enemies have
heard of my trouble; they are glad that
you have done it: you will bring the day
that you have called, and they shall be
like to me.
22 Let all their wickedness come before
you; and do to them, as you have done to
me for all my transgressions: for my sighs
are many, and my heart is weary.

Chapter 2
1 How has Adonai (The Master: The
Lord) covered the daughter of Tsiyon with
a cloud in his anger, and cast down from
shamayim (heavens) to the earth the
beauty of Yah’sar’el (Israel), and
remembered not his footstool in the day
of his anger!
2 Adonai (The Master: The Lord) has
swallowed up all the habitations of
Ya’acob (Jacob), and has not pitied: he
has thrown down in his wrath the
strongholds of the daughter of Yahudah
(Judah); he has brought them down to
the ground: he has polluted the kingdom
and the princes of it.
3 He has cut off in his fierce anger all
the power of Yah’sar’el (Israel): he has
drawn back his right hand from before the
enemy, and he burned against Ya’acob
(Jacob) like a flaming fire, which devours
round about.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy:
he stood with his right hand1 as an
adversary, and slew all that were
pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of
the daughter of Tsiyon: he poured out his
fury like fire.
5 Adonai (The Master: The Lord) was as
an enemy: he has swallowed up
Yah’sar’el (Israel), he has swallowed up
all her palaces: he has destroyed her
strongholds, and has increased in the
daughter of Yahudah (Judah) mourning
and lamentation.
6 And he has destroyed his Temple,2 as
if it were of a vineyard:3 he has destroyed
1 The right hand is to judge which happened here
to Jerusalem.
2The relationship of the Hebrew word Sukkah is
more to the Temple than just a tent.
3 The relationship of the Hebrew word ka gan
translated in other bibles as ‘like a garden’ is more
to a vineyard as ke-gefen because YHWH sees
Israel as His vineyard than just an English orchard.
his places of the assembly: hwhy has
caused the Moe’dim (Solemn feasts) and
Sabbaths to be forgotten in Tsiyon, and
has despised in the indignation of his
anger the king and the Kohen (priest).
7 Adonai (The Master: The Lord)4 has
cast off his altar, he has despised his
sanctuary, he has given up into the hand
of the enemy the walls of her palaces;
they have made a noise in the house of
hwhy, as in the day of a solemn feast.
8 hwhy has purposed to destroy the
wall of the daughter of Tsiyon: he has
stretched out a line; he has not withdrawn
his hand from destroying: therefore he
made the rampart and the wall to lament;
they languished together.
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground;
he has destroyed and broken her bars:
her king and her princes are among the
Gentiles: the Torah is no more; her
prophets also find no vision from hwhy.
10 The elders of the daughter of Tsiyon
sit upon the ground, and keep silent: they
have cast up dust upon their heads; they
have girded themselves with sackcloth:
the virgins of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)
hang down their heads to the ground.
11 My eyes fail with tears, my bowels
are troubled, my liver is poured upon the
earth, for the destruction of the daughter
of my people; because the children and
the sucklings swoon in the streets of the
city.
12 They say to their mothers, Where is
the grain and wine? When they swooned
as the wounded in the streets of the city,
when their soul was poured out into their
mothers' bosom.
13 What thing shall I take to witness for
you? What thing shall I liken to you, O

 Lamentations (Echah)
daughter of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem)?
What shall I equal to you, that I may
comfort you, O virgin daughter of Tsiyon?
For your breach is great like the sea: who
can heal you?
14 Your prophets have seen falsehood
for you: and they failed to expose your
iniquity, to turn away your captivity; but
have seen for you worthless visions
which are false and misleading.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at
you; they hiss and shook their head at the
daughter of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
saying, is this the city that men call The
perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole
earth?
16 All your enemies have opened their
mouth against you: they hiss and gnash
the teeth: they say, We have swallowed
her up: certainly this is the day that we
looked for; we have found, we have seen
it.
17 hwhy has done that which he had
devised; he has fulfilled his word that he
had commanded in the ancient times: he
has thrown down, and has not pitied: and
he has caused your enemy to rejoice
over you, he has exalted the power of
your adversaries.
18 Their heart cried to Adonai (The
Master: The Lord), O wall of the daughter
of Tsiyon, let tears run down like a river
day and night: give yourself no rest; let
not the apple of your eye cease.
19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the
beginning of the watches pour out your
heart like mayim (water) before the face
of Adonai (My Master: My Lord): lift up
your hands toward him for the life of your
young children, that weary for hunger in
the top of every street.
20 Behold, O hwhy, and consider to
whom you have done this. Should the
women eat their offspring, and their
healthy infants? Shall the Kohen (priest)
and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary
of Adonai (The Master: The Lord)?
1144
21 The young and the old lie on the
ground in the streets: my virgins and my
young men are fallen by the sword; you
have slain them in the day of your anger;
you have killed, and not pitied.
22 You have called as in a solemn day
my terrors round about, so that in the day
of hwhy's anger none escaped nor
remained: those healthy infants that I
bore and brought up has my enemy
consumed.
Chapter 3
1 I am the man that has seen affliction
by the rod of his wrath.
2 He has led me, and brought me into
darkness, but not into light.
3 Surely against me is he turned; he
turns his hand against me all the day.
4 My flesh and my skin has he made
old; he has broken my bones.
5 He has besieged, and surrounded
against me with bitterness and hardship.
6 He has set me in dark places, as they
that be dead of old.
7 He has hedged me about, that I
cannot get out: he has made my chain
heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shuts
out my prayer.
9 He has enclosed my ways with hewn
stone, he has made my paths crooked.
10 He was to me as a bear lying in wait,
and as a lion in ambush.
11 He has turned aside my ways, and
pulled me in pieces: he has made me
desolate.
12 He has bent his bow, and set me as
a mark for the arrow.
13 He has caused the arrows of his
quiver to pierce my kidneys.
14 I was a mockery to all my people;
and their song all the day.
15 He has filled me with bitterness, he
has made me drunk with wormwood.
16 He has also broken my teeth with
gravel stones, he has covered me with
 Lamentations (Echah)
ashes.
17 And you have removed my soul far
off from shalom (peace): I forgot
prosperity.
18 And I said, My strength and my hope
is perished from hwhy:
19 Remembering my affliction and my
misery, the wormwood and the bitterness.
20 My soul has them still in
remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore
have I hope.
22 It is of hwhy's mercies that we are
not consumed, because his compassions
fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is
your faithfulness.
24 hwhy is my portion, says my soul;
therefore will I hope in him.
25 hwhy is good to them that wait for
him, to the soul that seeks him.
26 It is good that a man should both
hope and quietly wait for the deliverance
of hwhy.
27 It is good for a man that he bears the
yoke in his youth.
28 He sits alone and keeps silence,
because he has borne it upon him.
29 He puts his mouth in the dust; if so
be there may be hope.
30 He gives his cheek to him that smites
him: he is filled full with reproach.
31 For Adonai (The Master: The Lord)
will not cast off forever:
32 But though he causes grief, yet will
he have compassion according to the
multitude of his mercies.
33 For he does not afflict willingly nor
grieve the children of men.
34 To crush under his feet all the
prisoners of the land of Israel,1
35 To turn aside the right of a man
1 In view is the land of Israel only and not the
whole world as this particular judgment is only
upon Israel for her sins.
1145
before the face of the most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the
Adonai (Master: Lord) approves not.
37 Who is he that says, and it comes to
pass, when Adonai (The Master: The
Lord) commands it not?
38 Out of the mouth of the most High
proceeds not evil and good?
39 Therefore does a living man
complain, a man for the punishment of
his sins?
40 Let us search and try our ways, and
turn again to hwhy.
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands
to El (The Power) in the shamayim
(heavens).
42 We have transgressed and have
rebelled: you have not pardoned.
43 You have covered with anger, and
persecuted us: you have slain, you have
not pitied.
44 You have covered yourself with a
cloud that our prayer should not pass
through.
45 You have made us as the
offscouring and refuse in the midst of the
people.
46 All our enemies have opened their
mouths against us.
47 Fear and a snare is come upon us,
desolation and destruction.
48 My eye runs down with rivers of
mayim (water) for the destruction of the
daughter of my people.
49 My eye trickles down, and ceases
not, without any intermission,
50 Till hwhy look down, and behold
from shamayim (heavens).
51 My eye affects my heart because of
all the daughters of my city.
52 My enemies chased me sore, like a
bird, without cause.
53 They have cut off my life in the
dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
54 Waters flowed over my head; then I
said, I am cut off.
55 I called upon your name, O hwhy,
 Lamentations (Echah)
out of the low dungeon.
56 You have heard my voice: hide not
your ear at my breathing, at my cry.
57 You drew near in the day that I
called upon you: you said, Fear not.
58 O Adonai (Master: Lord), you have
pleaded the causes of my soul; you have
redeemed my life.
59 O hwhy, you have seen my wrong:
judge you my cause.
60 You have seen all their vengeance
and all their imaginations against me.
61 You have heard their reproach, O
hwhy, and all their imaginations against
me;
62 The lips of those that rose up against
me, and their device against me all the
day.
63 Behold their sitting down, and their
rising up; I am their music.
64 Render to them recompense, O
hwhy, according to the work of their
hands.
65 Give them sorrow of heart, your
curse to them.
66 Persecute and destroy them in anger
from under the shamayim (heaven) of
hwhy.
Chapter 4
1 How is the gold become dim! How is
the most fine gold changed! The stones
of the sanctuary are poured out in the top
of every street.
2 The precious sons of Tsiyon,
comparable to fine gold, how are they
esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work
of the hands of the potter!
3 Even the sea monsters draw out the
breast, they nurse their young ones: the
daughter of my people is become cruel,
like the ostriches in the desert.
4 The tongue of the sucking child
cleaves to the roof of his mouth for thirst:
the young children ask lechem (bread),
and no man breaks it to them.
5 They that did feed delicately are
1146
desolate in the streets: they that were
brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6 For the punishment of the sin of the
daughter of my people is greater than the
punishment of the sin of Sedom (Sodom),
that was overthrown as in a moment, and
no hands stayed on her.
7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow,
they were whiter than milk, they were
more ruddy in body than rubies, their
polishing was of sapphire:
8 Their visage is blacker than a coal;
they are not known in the streets: their
skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered,
it is become like a stick.
9 They that be slain with the sword are
better than they that be slain with hunger:
for these pine away, stricken through for
want of the fruits of the field.
10 The hands of the tender-hearted
women have cooked their own children:
for their food in the destruction of the
daughter of my people.1
11 hwhy has accomplished his fury; he
has poured out his fierce anger, and has
kindled a fire in Tsiyon, and it has
devoured the foundations thereof.2
12 The kings of the earth, and all the
inhabitants of the world, would not have
believed that the adversary and the
enemy should have entered into the
gates of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem).
13 For the sins of her prophets, and the
iniquities of her kohenim (priests), that
have shed the blood of the just in the
midst of her,
1 Women did cook their own children for food in
the destruction of Israel. This was the fulfillment of
the Torah prophecy in Deut 28:56, a punishment
meted out. This happened during the Roman siege
to a fuller extent.
2 The Romans burned the Temple down then they
dug its foundations to bring the gold out. The
prophecy of Messiah was fulfilled here spoken off
in Matthew 24:2.

14 They have wandered as blind men in
the streets, they have polluted
themselves with blood, so that men could
not touch their garments.
15 They cried to them, Depart; it is
unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when
they fled away and wandered, they said
among the nations, They shall no more
sojourn there.
16 The anger of hwhy has divided
them; he will no more regard them: they
respected not the persons of the kohenim
(priests), they favoured not the elders.
17 As for us, our eyes as yet failed for
our vain help: in our watching we have
watched for a nation that could not save
us.
18 They hunt our steps that we cannot
go in our streets: our end is near, our
days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
19 Our persecutors are swifter than the
eagles of the shamayim (heavens): they
pursued us upon the mountains, they laid
wait for us in the wilderness.
20 The breath of our nostrils, the
anointed of hwhy, was taken in their pits,
of whom we said, Under his shadow we
shall live among the nations.
21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of
Edom, which dwells in the land of Uz; the
cup also shall pass through to you: you
shall be drunk, and shall make yourself
naked.

accomplished, O daughter of Tsiyon; he
will no more carry you away into captivity:
he will visit your iniquity, O daughter of
Edom; he will uncover your sins.

1 Remember, O hwhy, what is come
upon us: consider, and behold our
reproach.
2 Our inheritance is turned to strangers,
our houses to foreigners.
3 We are orphans and fatherless, our
mothers are as widows.
1147
4 We have drunk our mayim (water) for
money; our wood is sold to us.
5 Our necks are under persecution: we
labour, and have no rest.
6 We have given the hand to the Mitzrim
(Egyptians), and to the Assyrians, to be
satisfied with lechem (bread).
7 Our ahvot (fathers) have sinned, and
are not; and we have borne their
iniquities.
8 Servants have ruled over us: there is
none that does deliver us out of their
hand.
9 We gat our lechem (bread) with the
peril of our lives because of the sword of
the wilderness.
10 Our skin was black like an oven
because of the terrible famine.
11 They ravished the women in Tsiyon,
and the maids in the cities of Yahudah
(Judah).
12 Princes are hanged up by their hand:
the faces of elders were not honoured.
13 They took the young men to labour,
and the boys stagger under hard labour.
14 The elders have ceased from the
gate, the young men from their music.
15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our
dance is turned into mourning.
16 The crown is fallen from our head:
woe to us that we have sinned!
17 For this our heart is weary; for these
things our eyes are dim.
18 Because of the mountain of Tsiyon,
which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
19 You, O hwhy, remain forever; your
throne from generation to generation.
20 Therefore do you forget us forever,
and forsake us so long time?

repent; renew our days as of ancient
times.

12 I the Koheleth was king over
4 I made me great works; I built myself
Yah’sar’el (Israel) in Yerushalayim
houses; I planted vineyards:
5 I made myself gardens and orchards,
and I planted etzim (trees) in them of all
kind of fruits:
1 This is a reference to King Solomon.
1148
 Koheleth (Ecclesiastes)
6 I made myself pools of mayim (water),
to irrigate the groves of flourishing etzim
(trees):
7 I got me servants and maidens, and
had servants born in my house; also I
had great possessions of great and small
cattle above all that were in Yerushalayim
(Jerusalem) before me:
8 I gathered also silver and gold, and
the valuable treasure of kings and of the
provinces: I had male and female singers,
and the delights of the sons of men, as
musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
9 So I was great, and increased more
than all that were before me in
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem): also my
wisdom remained with me.
10 And whatsoever my eyes desired I
kept not from them, I withheld not my
heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced
in all my labour: and this was my portion
of all my labour.
11 Then I looked on all the works that
my hands had wrought, and on the labour
that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all
was vanity and chasing the wind, and
there was no profit under the sun.
12 And I turned myself to behold
wisdom, and foolish behavior: for what
can the man do that comes after the
king? Even that which has been already
done.
13 Then I saw that wisdom excels
foolish behavior, as far as light excels
darkness.
14 The wise man's eyes are in his head;
but the fool walks in darkness: and I
myself perceived also that one event
happens to them all.
15 Then I said in my heart, As it
happens to the fool, so it happens even
to me; and what did I gain by becoming
more wise? Then I said in my heart, that
this also is vanity.
16 For there is no remembrance of the
wise more than of the fool forever; seeing
that which now is in the days to come
1149
shall all be forgotten. Alas, the wise man
dies just as the fool.
17 Therefore I hated life; because the
work that is wrought under the sun is
grievous to me: for all is vanity and
chasing the wind.
18 Yes, I hated all my labour which I
had taken under the sun: because I
should leave it to the man that shall be
after me.
19 And who knows whether he shall be
a wise man or a fool? Yet shall he have
rule over all my labour wherein I have
laboured, and wherein I have showed
myself wise under the sun. This is also
vanity.
20 Therefore I went about to cause my
heart to despair of all the labour which I
took under the sun.
21 For there is a man whose labour is in
wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity;
yet to a man that has not laboured therein
shall he leave it for his portion. This also
is vanity and a great evil.
22 For what has man of all his labour,
and of the vexation of his heart, wherein
he has laboured under the sun?
23 For all his days are sorrows, and his
travail grief; yes, his heart takes not rest
in the night. This is also vanity.
24 There is nothing better for a man,
than that he should eat and drink, and
that he should make his life enjoy good in
his labour. This also I saw, that it was
from the hand of Elohim.
25 For no one can eat, or drink or
experience joy apart from him?
26 For Elohim gives to a man that is
good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge,
and joy: but to the sinner he gives travail,
to gather and to heap up, that he may
give to him that is good before Elohim.
This also is vanity and chasing the wind.
 Koheleth (Ecclesiastes)
Chapter 3
1 To every thing there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under the
shamayim (heavens):
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a
time to plant, and a time to pluck up that
which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a
time to break down, and a time to build
up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a
time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a
time to gather stones together; a time to
embrace, and a time to refrain from
embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a
time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a
time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a
time of war, and a time of shalom
(peace).
9 What profit has he that works in that
wherein he labours?
10 I have seen the travail, which Elohim
has given to the sons of men to be
exercised in it.
11 He has made everything beautiful in
his time: also he has set the world in their
heart, so that no man can find out the
work that Elohim makes from the
beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them,
but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in
his life.
13 And also that every man should eat
and drink, and enjoy the good of all his
labour, it is the gift of Elohim.
14 I know that, whatsoever Elohim
does, it shall be forever: nothing can be
put to it, nor anything taken from it: and
Elohim does it, that men should fear
before him.
15 That which has been is now; and
1150
that which is to be has already been; and
Elohim requires that which is past.1
16 And moreover I saw under the sun
the place of right-ruling, that wickedness
was there; and the place of
righteousness, that iniquity was there.
17 I said in my heart, Elohim shall judge
the righteous and the wicked: for there is
a time there for every purpose and for
every work.
18 I said in my heart concerning the
estate of the sons of men, that Elohim
might manifest them, and that they might
see that they themselves are beasts.
19 For that which befalls the sons of
men befalls beasts; even one thing
befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the
other; yes, they have all one breath; so
that a man has no preeminence above a
beast: for all is vanity.
20 All go to one place; all are of the
dust, and all turn to dust again.
21 Who really knows if the ruach (spirit)
of man goes upward, and the ruach
(spirit) of the beast goes downward to the
earth?
22 Therefore I perceive that there is
nothing better, than that a man should
rejoice in his own works; for that is his
portion: for who shall bring him to see
what shall be after him?
Chapter 4
1 So I returned, and considered all the
oppressions that was done under the
sun: and behold the tears of such as
were oppressed, and they had no
comforter; and on the side of their
oppressors there was power; but they
had no comforter.
2 Therefore I praised the dead which
are already dead more than the living
1 YHWH teaches us in cycles (Ps 23:6) i.e. history
repeats itself and we need to understand the
scriptures cyclically not linearly.
 Koheleth (Ecclesiastes)
which are yet alive.
3 Yes, better is he than both they, which
has not yet been, who has not seen the
evil work that is done under the sun.
4 Again, I considered all travail, and
every right work, that for this a man is
envied of his neighbour. This is also
vanity and chasing the wind.
5 The fool folds his hands together, and
eats his own flesh.
6 Better is a handful with quietness,
than both the hands full and chasing the
wind.
7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity
under the sun.
8 There is one alone, and there is not a
second; yes, he has neither child nor
brother: yet is there no end of all his
labour; neither is his eye satisfied with
riches; neither says he, For whom do I
labour, and bereave my soul of good?
This is also vanity, yes, it is a sore travail.
9 Two are better than one; because
they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his
fellow: but woe to him that is alone when
he falls; for he has not another to help
him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they
have heat: but how can one be warm
alone?
12 And if one prevails against him, two
shall withstand him; and a threefold cord
is not quickly broken.
13 Better is a poor and a wise child than
an old and foolish king, who will no more
be admonished.
14 For out of prison he comes to reign;
whereas also he that is born in his
kingdom becomes poor.
15 I considered all the living which walk
under the sun, with the second child that
1 Represents the two houses of Israel; Yahushua
also sends his 12 sholiach (Apostles) in two by two
(Luke 10:1).
1151
shall stand up in his place.
16 There is no end of all the people,
even of all that have been before them:
they also that come after shall not rejoice
in him. Surely this also is vanity and
chasing the wind.
Chapter 5
1 Keep your foot when you go to the
house of Elohim, and be more ready to
hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools:
for they consider not that they do evil.
2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let
not your heart be hasty to utter anything
before Elohim: for Elohim is in shamayim
(heavens) and you upon earth: therefore
let your words be few.
3 For a dream comes through the
multitude of business; and a fool's voice
is known by multitude of words.
4 When you make an oath to Elohim,
defer not to pay it; for he has no pleasure
in fools: pay that which you have vowed.
1 5 Better is it that you should not vow,
than that you should vow and not pay.
6 Suffer not your mouth to cause your
flesh to sin; neither say you before the
heavenly messenger, that it was an error:
Therefore should Elohim be angry at your
voice, and destroy the work of your
hands?
7 For in the multitude of dreams and
many words there is futility: but fear
Elohim.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor,
and perversion of judgment and justice in
a province, marvel not at the matter: for
he that is higher than the highest regards;
and there be higher than they.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for
all: the king himself is served by the field.
10 He that loves silver shall not be
satisfied with silver; nor he that loves
abundance with increase: this is also
vanity.
11 When goods increase, they are
increased that eat them: and what good
 Koheleth (Ecclesiastes)
is there to the owners thereof, saving the
beholding of them with their eyes?
12 The sleep of a labouring man is
sweet, whether he eats little or much: but
the abundance of the rich will not suffer
him to sleep.
13 There is a sore evil which I have
seen under the sun, namely, riches kept
for the owners thereof to their hurt.
14 But those riches perish by evil
travail: and he begets a son, and there is
nothing in his hand.
15 As he came forth of his mother's
womb, naked shall he return to go as he
came, and shall take nothing of his
labour, which he may carry away in his
hand.
16 And this also is a sore evil, that in all
points as he came, so shall he go: and
what profit has he that has laboured for
the wind?
17 All his days also he eats in darkness,
and he has much sorrow and wrath with
his sickness.
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is
good and comely for one to eat and to
drink, and to enjoy the good of all his
labour that he takes under the sun all the
days of his life, which Elohim gives him:
for it is his portion.
19 Every man also to whom Elohim has
given riches and wealth, and has given
him power to eat thereof, and to take his
portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is
the gift of Elohim.
20 For he shall not much remember the
days of his life; because Elohim answers
him in the joy of his heart.
Chapter 6
1 There is an evil which I have seen
under the sun, and it is common among
men:
2 A man to whom Elohim has given
riches, wealth, and honour, so that he
needs nothing for his soul of all that he
desires, yet Elohim gives him no power to
1152
eat of it, but a foreigner eats it: this is
vanity, and it is grave misfortune.
3 If a man beget a hundred children,
and live many years, so that the days of
his years be many, and his soul be not
filled with good, and also that he is
stillborn; I say, that an stillborn child is
better than he.
4 For he comes in with vanity, and
departs in darkness, and his name shall
be covered with darkness.
5 Moreover he has not seen the sun,
nor known any thing: this has more rest
than the other.
6 Yes, though he lives a thousand years
twice, yet has he seen no good: do not all
go to one place?
7 All the labour of man is for his mouth,
and yet the appetite is not filled.
8 For what has the wise more than the
fool? What has the poor that knows to
walk before the living?
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the
wandering of the desire: this is also vanity
and chasing the wind.
10 That which has been is named
already, and it is known that it is man:
neither may he contend with him that is
mightier than he.
11 Seeing the more one argues with
words the less he would accomplish, How
is that better?
12 For who knows what is good for man
in this life, all the days of his vain life
which he spends as a shadow? For who
can tell a man what shall be after him
under the sun?

Chapter 8
1 Who is as the wise man? And who
knows the interpretation of a thing? A
man's wisdom makes his face to shine,
and the boldness of his face shall be
changed.
2 I counsel you to keep the king's
commandment, and that in regard of the
oath of Elohim.
3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight:
stand not in an evil thing; for he does
whatsoever pleases him.
4 Where the word of a king is, there is
power: and who may say to him, What do
you do?
5 Whoso Keeps the commandment
shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's
heart discerns both time and right-ruling.
6 Because to every purpose there is
time and right-ruling, therefore the misery
of man is great upon him.
7 For he knows not that which shall be:
for who can tell him when it shall be?
8 There is no man that has power over
the ruach (spirit) to retain the ruach
(spirit); neither has he power in the day of
death: and there is no discharge in that
war; neither shall wickedness deliver
those that are given to it.
9 All this have I seen, and applied my
1154
heart to every work that is done under the
sun: there is a time wherein one man
rules over another to his own hurt.
10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who
had come and gone from the place of the
set-apart, and they were forgotten in the
city where they had so done: this is also
vanity.
11 Because sentence against an evil
work is not executed speedily, therefore
the heart of the sons of men is fully set in
them to do evil.
12 Though a sinner do evil a hundred
times, and his days be prolonged, yet
surely I know that it shall be well with
them that fear Elohim, which fear before
him:
13 But it shall not be well with the
wicked, neither shall he prolong his days,
which are as a shadow; because he fears
not before Elohim.
14 There is a vanity which is done upon
the earth; that there be just men, to whom
it happens according to the work of the
wicked; again, there be wicked men, to
whom it happens according to the work of
the righteous: I said that this also is
vanity.
15 Then I commended mirth, because a
man has no better thing under the sun,
than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry:
for that shall abide with him of his labour
the days of his life, which Elohim gives
him under the sun.
16 When I applied my heart to know
wisdom, and to see the business that is
done upon the earth: for also there is that
neither day nor night sees sleep with his
eyes:
17 Then I beheld all the work of Elohim
that a man cannot find out the work that
is done under the sun: because though a
man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not
find it; yes further; though a wise man
thinks to know it, yet shall he not be able
to find it.
 Koheleth (Ecclesiastes)
Chapter 9
1 For all this I considered in my heart
even to declare all this that the righteous,
and the wise, and their works, are in the
hand of Elohim: no man knows either
love or hatred by all that is before them.
2 All things come alike to all: there is
one event to the righteous, and to the
wicked; to the good and to the clean, and
to the unclean; to him that sacrifices, and
to him that sacrifices not: as is the good,
so is the sinner; and he that swears, as
he that fears an oath.
3 This is an evil among all things that
are done under the sun, that there is one
event to all: yes, also the heart of the
sons of men is full of evil, and foolishness
is in their heart while they live, and after
that they go to the dead.
4 For to him that is joined to all the living
there is hope: for a living dog is better
than a dead lion.
5 For the living know that they shall die:
but the dead know not anything, neither
have they any more a reward; for the
memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and
their envy, is now perished; neither have
they any more a portion forever in any
thing that is done under the sun.
7 Go your way, eat your lechem (bread)
with joy, and drink your wine with a merry
heart; for Elohim now accepts your
works.
8 Let your garments be always white;
and let your head lack no ointment.
9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you
love all the days of the life of your vanity,
which he has given you under the sun, all
the days of your vanity: for that is your
portion in this life, and in your labour
which you took under the sun.
10 Whatsoever your hand finds to do,
do it with your might; for there is no work,
nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom,
in the grave, where you go.
11 I returned, and saw under the sun,
1155
that the race is not to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong, neither yet lechem
(bread) to the wise, nor yet riches to men
of understanding, nor yet favour to men
of skill; but time and chance happens to
them all.
12 For man also knows not his time: as
the fishes that are taken in an evil net,
and as the birds that are caught in the
snare; so are the sons of men snared in
an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon
them.
13 This wisdom have I seen also under
the sun, and it seemed great to me:
14 There was a little city and few men
within it; and there came a great king
against it and besieged it, and built strong
siege works against it:
15 Now there was found in it a poor
wise man, and he by his wisdom he
delivered the city; yet no man
remembered that same poor man.
16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than
strength: nevertheless the poor man's
wisdom is despised, and his words are
not heard.
17 The words of wise men are heard in
quiet more than the cry of him that rules
among fools.
18 Wisdom is better than weapons of
war: but one sinner destroys much good.
Chapter 10
1 Dead flies make the perfumer’s
ointment to stink: so does a little folly him
that is in reputation for wisdom and
honour.
2 A wise man's heart is at his right
hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
3 Yes also, when he that is a fool walks
by the way, his wisdom fails him, and he
says to every one that he is a fool.
4 If the ruach (spirit) of the ruler rise up
against you, leave not your place; for
yielding pacifies great offences.
5 There is an evil which I have seen
under the sun, as an error which
 Koheleth (Ecclesiastes)
proceeds from the ruler:
6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the
rich sit in low place.
7 I have seen servants upon horses,
and princes walking as servants upon the
earth.
8 He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and
whoso breaks a hedge,1 a serpent shall
bite him.
9 Whoso removes stones shall be hurt
therewith; and he that cleaves wood shall
be endangered thereby.
10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not
whet the edge, then must he put to more
strength: but wisdom is profitable to
direct.
11 Surely the serpent will bite without
enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
12 The words of a wise man's mouth
are gracious; but the lips of a fool will
swallow up himself.
13 The beginning of the words of his
mouth is foolishness: and the end of his
talk is wicked madness.
14 A fool also is full of words: a man
cannot tell what shall be; and what shall
be after him, who can tell him?
15 The labour of the foolish wears every
one of them, because he knows not how
to go to the city.
16 Woe to you, O land, when your king
is a child, and your princes eat in the
morning!
17 Blessed are you, O land, when your
king is the son of nobles, and your
princes eat in due season, for strength,
and not for drunkenness!

hands the house drops through.
19 A feast is made for laughter, and
wine makes merry: but money answers
all things.
20 Curse not the king, no not in your
thought; and curse not the rich while in
your bedroom: for a bird of the air might
report, and that which has wings shall tell
the matter.

4 He that observes the wind shall not
sow; and he that regards the clouds shall
not reap.
5 As you know not what is the way of
the ruach (spirit), nor how the bones do
grow in the womb of her that is with child:
even so you know not the works of
Elohim who makes all.
6 In the morning sow your seed, and in
the evening withhold not your hand: for
you know not whether shall prosper,
either this or that, or whether they both
shall be alike good.
7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant
thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
8 But if a man live many years, and
rejoice in them all; yet let him remember
the days of darkness; for they shall be
many. All that comes is vanity.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in your youth;
and let your heart cheer you in the days
2 The seed we sow today will protect and bless our
future generations.
 Koheleth (Ecclesiastes)
of your youth, and walk in the ways of
your heart, and in the sight of your eyes:
but know you that for all these things
Elohim will bring you into judgment.
10 Therefore remove sorrow from your
heart, and put away evil from your flesh:
for childhood and youth are vanity.
Chapter 12
1 Remember now your Creators in the1
days of your youth, while the evil days
come not, nor the years draw near, when
you shall say, I have no pleasure in them;
2 While the sun, or the light, or the
moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor
the clouds return after the rain:
3 In the day when the guards of the
house tremble, and the strong men shall
bow themselves, and the grinders cease
because they are few, and those that look
out of the windows be darkened,
4 And the doors shall be shut in the
streets, when the sound of the grinding is
low, and he shall rise up at the voice of
the bird, and all the daughters of music
shall be brought low;
5 Also when they shall be afraid of that
which is high, and fears shall be in the
way, and the almond etz (tree) shall
flourish, and the locust shall be a burden,
and desire shall fail: because man goes
to his long home, and the mourners go
about the streets:
6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or
the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher
be broken at the fountain, or the wheel
broken at the cistern.
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth
as it was: and the Ruach (Spirit) shall
return to Elohim who gave it.
8 Vanity of vanities, says the Koheleth;
1 The word in Hebrew is plural for ‘creators’ Eth
Borkeha. Considering that there is the Father, Son
and the Holy Spirit it makes sense that this is that
all three were involved in the creation.
all is vanity.
9 And moreover, because the Koheleth
was wise, he still taught the people
knowledge; yes, he gave good heed, and
sought out, and set in order many
proverbs.
10 The Koheleth sought to find out
acceptable words: and that which were
written were upright, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are as goads,
and as nails fastened by the masters of
assemblies, which are given from one
shepherd.
12 And further, by these, my son, be
warned, there is no end to the making of
many books; and much study is
weariness to the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the
2
whole matter: Fear Elohim, and keep his
commandments: for this is the whole duty
of man.3
14 For Elohim shall bring every work
into judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
‫ת‬
2 The word conclusion or end is sof (samech, vav,
peh/feh) it begins with samech. Thus, the true
‘end of matter’ commitment to YHWH’s word is not
an ending but beginning. Where the world and its
vanities reach an end (sof), it is the beginning of
service to our soul, which can be obtained through
commitment to YHWH’s statues.
3 This is the bottom line to obey Torah. We will be
accountable for all our acts on the day of
judgment; as Yahushua said in Matt 12:36 and
also Rabbi Paulos in Second Cor 5: 10.

Chapter 1
1 Now it came to pass in the days of
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus), this is
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) which
reigned, from India even to Cush
(Sudan), over a hundred and twenty
seven provinces:
2 That in those days, when the king
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) sat on the
throne of his kingdom, which was in
Shushan (Iran) the palace,
3 In the third year of his reign, he made
a feast to all his princes and his servants;
the power of Persia and Media, the
nobles and princes of the provinces,
being before him:
4 When he showed the riches of his
glorious kingdom and the honour of his
excellent majesty many days, even a
hundred and eighty days.
5 And when these days were expired,
the king made a feast to all the people
that were present in Shushan the palace,
both to great and small, seven days, in
the court of the garden of the king's
palace;
6 Where were white, green, and blue,
hangings, fastened with cords of fine
linen and purple to silver rings and pillars
of marble: the beds were of gold and
silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue,
and white, and black, marble.
7 And they gave them drink in vessels
of gold,1 the vessels being diverse one
from another, and royal wine in
abundance, according to the state of the
king.
8 And the drinking was according to the
1 These were the vessels which Nebuchadnezzar
had brought.
1158
law; none did compel: for so the king had
appointed to all the officers of his house
that they should do according to every
man's pleasure.
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast
for the women in the royal house which
belonged to king Khashayarsha
(Ahasuerus).
10 On the seventh day, when the heart
of the king was merry with wine, he
commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona,
Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas,
the seven chamberlains that served in the
presence of Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus)
the king,
11 To bring Vashti the queen before the
king with the crown royal, to show the
people and the princes her beauty: for
she was fair to look on.2
12 But the queen Vashti refused to
come at the king's commandment by his
chamberlains: therefore was the king very
wroth, and his anger burned in him.3
13 Then the king said to the wise men,
which knew the times, for so was the
king's manner toward all that knew law
and judgment:
2 Vashti was asked to appear before the king
naked on a Sabbath, which was a punishment by
YHWH for making Jewish girls to be forced to be
naked and made to work on the Sabbath day on
Friday sunset to Saturday sunset by her. The
queen was beheaded on the advice of one of the
king's advisors known as Memucan who is
identified as Haman in the Talmud. (Talmud
Megillah 12b)
3 Vashti was the daughter of King Belshazzar of
Babylon and the great-granddaughter of King
Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. Vashti's father was
murdered after Dani'el the prophet predicted the
fall and she was unaware. There was much looting
and bloodshed in Babylon at that time and Darius
took hold of Vashti and protected her and gave her
as wife to the his son the king known as
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus). Darius was a
compassionate man and dealt with Vashti with
mercy and kindness.
 Esther (Hadasah)
14 And the next to him was Carshena,
Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres,
Marsena, and Memukan, the seven
princes of Persia and Media, which saw
the king's face, and which sat the first in
the kingdom;
15 What shall we do to the queen
Vashti according to law, because she has
not performed the commandment of the
king Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) by the
chamberlains?
16 And Memukan answered before the
king and the princes, Vashti the queen
has not done wrong to the king only, but
also to all the princes, and to all the
people that are in all the provinces of the
king Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus).
17 For this deed of the queen shall
come outside to all women, so that they
shall despise their husbands in their
eyes, when it shall be reported, The king
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) commanded
Vashti the queen to be brought in before
him, but she came not.
18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia
and Media say this day to all the king's
princes, which have heard of the deed of
the queen. Thus shall there arise too
much contempt and wrath.
19 If it please the king, let there go a
royal commandment from him, and let it
be written among the laws of the
Persians and the Medes, that it be not
altered, That Vashti come no more before
king Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus); and let
the king give her royal estate to another
that is better than she.
20 And when the king's decree which he
shall make shall be published throughout
all his empire, (for it is great) all the wives
shall give to their husbands’ honour, both
to great and small.
21 And the saying pleased the king and
the princes; and the king did according to
the word of Memukan:
22 For he sent letters into all the king's
provinces, into every province according
1159
to the writing, and to every people after
their language, that every man should
bear rule in his own house, and that it
should be published according to the
language of every people.
Chapter 2
1 After these things, when the wrath of
king Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) was
appeased, he remembered Vashti, and
what she had done, and what was
decreed against her.
2 Then said the king's servants that
ministered to him, Let there be fair young
virgins sought for the king:
3 And let the king appoint officers in all
the provinces of his kingdom, that they
may gather together all the fair young
virgins to Shushan the palace, to the
house of the women, to the custody of
Hege the king's officer, keeper of the
women; and let their things for purification
be given them:
4 And let the maiden which pleases the
king be queen instead of Vashti. And the
thing pleased the king; and he did so.
5 Now in Shushan the palace there was
a certain Yahudim (Jewish man), whose
name was Mordecai, the son of Yair, the
son of Shim’i,1 the son of Kish, a
Benjamite;
6 Who had been carried away from
Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) with the
captivity which had been carried away
with Yekon’yah (Jeconiah) king of
Yahudah (Judah), whom Nebukadnetzar
the king of Babylon had carried away.
7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is,
Esther,2 his uncle's daughter: for she had
1 Shimei’s life was spared by David (Second Sam
16:5-13; 19:16-23). Mordecai was a descendant of
Shimei, of the House, of Kish who was the father
of King Sha’ul.
2 Esther from the name of false goddess Ishtar,
root word sattar means to conceal and
 Esther (Hadasah)
neither father nor mother, and the maid
was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai,
when her father and mother were dead,
took for his own daughter.
8 So it came to pass, when the king's
commandment and his decree was
heard, and when many maidens were
gathered together to Shushan the palace,
to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was
brought also to the king's house, to the
custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9 And the maiden pleased him, and she
obtained kindness of him; and he
speedily gave her the things for
purification, with such things as belonged
to her, and seven maidens, which were
meet to be given her, out of the king's
house: and he preferred her and her
maids to the best place of the house of
the women.
10 Esther had not revealed her people
nor her clan: for Mordecai had charged
her that she should not show it.
11 And Mordecai walked every day
before the court of the women's house, to
know how Esther did, and what should
become of her.
12 Now when every maid's turn was
come to go in to king Khashayarsha
(Ahasuerus), after that she had been
twelve months, according to the manner
of the women, for so were the days of
their purifications accomplished, six
months with oil of myrrh, and six months
with sweet fragrances, and with other
things for the purifying of the women;
13 Then thus came every maiden to the
king; whatsoever she desired was given
her to go with her out of the house of the
women to the king's house.
14 In the evening she went, and on the
day after she returned into the second
house of the women, to the custody of
Shaashgaz, the king's officer, which kept
Hadassa means myrtle. She was concealed and
brought out at the time of need.
1160
the concubines: she came in to the king
no more, except the king delighted in her,
and that she were called by name.
15 Now when the turn of Esther, the
daughter of Abichayil the uncle of
Mordecai, who had taken her for his
daughter, was come to go in to the king,
she required nothing but what Hegai the
king's officer, the keeper of the women,
appointed. And Esther obtained favour in
the sight of all them that looked upon her.
16 So Esther was taken to king
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) into his
house royal in the tenth month, which is
the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of
his reign.
17 And the king loved Esther above all
the women, and she obtained grace and
favour in his sight more than all the
virgins; so that he set the royal crown
upon her head, and made her queen
instead of Vashti.
18 Then the king made a great feast to
all his princes and his servants, even
Esther's feast; and he made a release to
the provinces, and gave gifts, according
to the state of the king.
19 And when the virgins were gathered
together the second time, then Mordecai
sat in the king's gate.
20 Esther had not yet revealed her clan
nor her people; as Mordecai had charged
her: for Esther did the commandment of
Mordecai, like as when she was brought
up with him.
21 In those days, while Mordecai sat in
the king's gate, two of the king's officers,
Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept
the door, were wroth, and sought to lay
hand on the king Khashayarsha
(Ahasuerus).
22 And the conspiracy was known by
Mordecai, who told it to Esther the queen;
and Esther reported it to the king on
behalf of Mordecai's.
23 And when inquisition was made of
the matter, it was found out; therefore
 Esther (Hadasah)
they were both hanged on an etz (tree):
and it was written in the scroll of the
chronicles before the king.
Chapter 3
1 After these things did king
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) promote
Haman the son of Hammedatha the
Agagite, and advanced him, and set his
seat above all the princes that were with
him.
2 And all the king's servants, that were
in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced
Haman: for the king had so commanded
concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not,
nor did him reverence.1
3 Then the king's servants, which were
in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why
transgress you the king's commandment?
4 Now it came to pass, when they
spoke daily to him, and he hearkened not
to them, that they told Haman, to see
whether Mordecai's matters would stand:
for he had told them that he was a
Yahudim (Jewish man).
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai
bowed not, nor did him reverence, then
Haman was full of wrath.
6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on
Mordecai alone; for they had showed him
the people of Mordecai: Therefore
Haman sought to destroy all the Yahudim
(Jewish people) that were throughout the
whole kingdom of Khashayarsha
(Ahasuerus), even the people of
Mordecai.
7 In the first month that is the month
1 Mordecai who was from the tribe of Benjamin
did not bow to Haman (Amalek), which parallels to
Ya’kob’s son Benjamin who was not yet born and
did not bow to Esav,(Gen 33:7) showing that only
the true Elohim YHWH of Israel deserves worship.
Yalkut Shimoni 1:264 “according to the tradition,
Esav Would fall by the hands of Rachel.” (King
Sha’ul who was also from tribe of Benjamin failed
to do this)
Nisan, in the twelfth year of king
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus), they cast Pur
that is the lot before Haman from day to
day and from month to month to the
twelfth month that is the month Adar.
8 And Haman2 said to king
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus), There is a
certain people scattered abroad and
dispersed among the people in all the
provinces of your kingdom; and their laws
are diverse from all people; neither keep
they the king's laws: therefore it is not for
the king's profit to allow them.
9 If it pleases the king, let it be written
that they may be destroyed: and I will pay
ten thousand talents of silver to the hands
of those that have the charge of the
business, to bring it into the king's
treasuries.
10 And the king took his ring from his
hand, and gave it to Haman the son of
Hammedatha the Agagite,3 the
Yahudim’s (Jewish people’s) enemy.
2 Haman made two decrees. The first was to
destroy the entire Jewish People. The second was
that everyone should be ready and prepared for
something special on the 13th of Adar. The decree
that the Jews should be killed was secret. The
Vilna Gaon (commentary to Megillat Esther)
explains that the reason that Haman kept the first
decree secret was in order to prevent the Jews
from escaping in any way. (Esther 3:13-14)
3 Agag =Gog, according to the Septuagint, is
'Agag,'(Num 24:7) a generic term used for kings of
Amalek. Any war against the Children of Israel,
meant to annihilate them, has to involve Amalek.
Haman the Agagite; how was Agag alive if Samuel
killed him? Amalek was the illegitimate son of
Eliphaz, and the grandson of Esav Gen 36:12.
(Amalek’s mother was the illegitimate daughter of
Amalek’s father).The progeny of Amalek were the
archetypal enemy of the Jewish People. Their very
existence is diametrically opposed to the Torah
because Amalek fought with Israel at Rephidim (Ex
17:8-16); The Sages describe the people of
Amalek as being the essence of all the evil in the
world.
1161
 Esther (Hadasah)
11 And the king said to Haman, The
silver is given to you, the people also, to
do with them as it seems good to you.
12 Then were the king's scribes called
on the thirteenth day of the first month,
1and there was written according to all
that Haman had commanded to the king's
lieutenants, and to the governors that
were over every province, and to the
rulers of every people of every province
according to the writing, and to every
people after their language; in the name
of king Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) was it
written, and sealed with the king's ring.
13 And the letters were sent by posts
into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to
kill, and to cause to perish, all Yahudim
(Jewish people), both young and old, little
children and women, in one day, even
upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth
month, which is the month Adar, and to 2 received it not.
take the spoil of them for a prey.
14 The copy of the writing for a
commandment to be given in every
province was published to all people, that
they should be ready against that day.
15 The posts went out, being hastened
by the king's commandment, and the
decree was given in Shushan the palace.
And the king and Haman sat down to
drink; but the city Shushan was
perplexed.
1 It’s interesting that it was written on the 13th day
of the first month of Nissan. YHWH allowed the
Passover to be done on the 14th showing us a
national deliverance of Israel and here once again
Haman is the type of anti-Messiah that Elohim had
delivered the Jewish people from.
2 The dice fell to Agag’s name but flip side was
David and secondly Adar was the month Musa died
but it was also the month when he was born;
deliverer.
1162
Chapter 4
1 When Mordecai perceived all that was
done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put
on sackcloth with ashes, and went out
into the midst of the city, and cried with a
loud and a bitter cry;
2 And came even before the king's gate:
for none might enter into the king's gate
clothed with sackcloth.
3 And in every province, wherever the
king's commandment and his decree
came, there was great mourning among
the Yahudim (Jewish people), and
fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and
many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 So Esther's maids and her officers
came and told it to her. Then was the
queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent
raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take
away his sackcloth from him: but he
5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of
the king's officers, whom he had
appointed to attend upon her, and gave
him a commandment to Mordecai, to
know what it was, and why it was.
6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai to
the street of the city, which was before
the king's gate.
7 And Mordecai told him of all that had
happened to him, and of the sum of the
money that Haman had promised to pay
to the king's treasuries for the Yahudim
(Jewish people), to destroy them.
8 Also he gave him the copy of the
writing of the decree that was given at
Shushan to destroy them, to show it to
Esther, and to declare it to her, and to
charge her that she should go in to the
king, to make supplication to him, and to
make request before him for her people.
9 And Hatach came and told Esther the
words of Mordecai.
10 Again Esther spoke to Hatach, and
gave him commandment to Mordecai;
11 All the king's servants, and the
people of the king's provinces, do know,
 Esther (Hadasah)
that whosoever, whether man or woman,
shall come to the king into the inner court,
who is not called, there is one law of his
to put him to death, except such to whom
the king shall hold out the golden sceptre,
that he may live: but I have not been
called to come in to the king these thirty
days.
12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's
words.
13 Then Mordecai commanded to
answer Esther, Think not with yourself
that you shall escape in the king's house,
more than all the Yahudim (Jewish
people).1
14 For if you altogether hold your
shalom (peace) at this time, then shall
there enlargement and deliverance arise
to the Yahudim (Jewish people) from
another place; but you and your father's
house shall be destroyed: and who
knows whether you are come to the
kingdom for such a time as this?2
15 Then Esther bade them return
Mordecai this answer,
16 Go, gather together all the Yahudim
(Jewish people) that are present in
Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat
nor drink three days, night or day: I also
and my maidens will fast likewise; and so
will I go in to the king, which is not
according to the law: and if I perish, I
perish.
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did
according to all that Esther had
commanded him.
1 In difficult circumstance we need to fast and
weep.
2 We all have come for such a time as this for the
restoration of the two houses and not be silent but
to be like watchman on the wall, Isa 62:1,
Esther 5:1. The 3rd day - things get restored
Hosea 6:1.
Chapter 5
1 Now it came to pass on the third day
that Esther put on her royal apparel, and
stood in the inner court of the king's
house, over against the king's house: and
the king sat upon his royal throne in the
royal house, over against the gate of the
house.
2 And it was so, when the king saw
Esther the queen standing in the court,
that she obtained favour in his sight: and
the king held out to Esther the golden
sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther
drew near, and touched the top of the
sceptre.
3 Then said the king to her, What do
you desire, queen Esther? And what is
your request? It shall be even given you
to the half of the kingdom.
4 And Esther answered, if it seems
good to the king; let the king and Haman
come this day to the banquet that I have
prepared for him.3
3 In fact, God's name does appear in the Scroll of
Esther. In Hebrew, YHWH occurs as an acrostic in
Chapter 5, when Esther is speaking. See the verse
below:
Esther 5:4 And Esther answered, if it seems good
to the king; let the king and Haman come this day
to the banquet that I have prepared for him.
YHWH Forward: YHWH was ruling and causing
Esther to act.
In the phrase highlighted in red in this verse, there
is an acrostic of YHWH in the Hebrew. The Hebrew
letters Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh are shown in large
letters. This shows that YHWH is always there,
guiding the Jewish people, preserving them from
harm. The king and Haman coming to Esther's
banquet was the event that sealed Haman's fate,
showing YHWH's hand at work.
Just as remarkably, in the opposite event in the
Scroll of Esther, when Vashti's fate is sealed and
1163
 Esther (Hadasah)
5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to
make haste that he may do as Esther has
said. So the king and Haman came to the
banquet that Esther had prepared.
6 And the king said to Esther at the
banquet of wine, What is your petition?
And it shall be granted you: and what is
your request? Even to the half of the
kingdom it shall be performed.
7 Then answered Esther, and said, My
petition and my request is;
8 If I have found favour in the sight of
the king, and if it please the king to grant
my petition, and to perform my request,
let the king and Haman come to the
banquet that I shall prepare for them, and
I will do tomorrow as the king has said.
9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful
and with a glad heart: but when Haman
saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he
stood not up, nor moved for him, he was
full of indignation against Mordecai.
10 Nevertheless Haman refrained
himself: and when he came home, he
sent and called for his friends, and
she is deposed, there is also an acrostic of YHWH
in Hebrew, but in reverse. This is shown below:
Esther 1:20 And when the king's decree which he
shall make shall be published throughout all his
empire, (for it is great) all the wives shall give to
their husbands’ honour, both to great and small.
You can see that the Hebrew letters which make
up YHWH (Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh) are shown in large
letters, but in reverse.
Thus, with fundamental events when a non-Jew is
speaking (Vashti), YHWH is there, but His name is
a reverse acrostic in Hebrew. By contrast, when a
Jewess (Esther) is speaking, YHWH is still there,
but His name is openly declared in a regular
acrostic in Hebrew.

Zeresh his wife.
11 And Haman told them of the glory of
his riches, and the multitude of his
children, and all the things wherein the
king had promoted him, and how he had
advanced him above the princes and
servants of the king.
12 Haman said moreover, Yes, Esther
the queen did let no man come in with the
king to the banquet that she had
prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am
invited to her also with the king.
13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long
as I see Mordecai the Yahudim (Jewish
man) sitting at the king's gate.
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his
friends to him, Let a gallows be made of
seventy five feet high, and tomorrow
speak to the king that Mordecai may be
hanged there: then go in merrily with the
king to the banquet. And the thing
pleased Haman; and he caused the
gallows to be made.
Chapter 6
1 On that night the king could not sleep,
and he commanded to bring the scroll of
records of the chronicles; and they were
read before the king.
2 And it was found written, that
Mordecai had told of Bigthana and
Teresh, two of the king's officers, the
keepers of the door, who sought to lay
hand on the king Khashayarsha
(Ahasuerus).
3 And the king said, What honour and
dignity has been done to Mordecai for
this? Then said the king's servants that
ministered to him, There is nothing done
for him.
4 And the king said, Who is in the
court? Now Haman had come into the
outward court of the king's house, to
speak to the king to hang Mordecai on
the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 And the king's servants said to him,
Behold, Haman stands in the court. And
 Esther (Hadasah)
the king said, Let him come in.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said
to him, What shall be done to the man
whom the king delights to honour? Now
Haman thought in his heart, To whom
would the king delight to do honour more
than to myself?
7 And Haman answered the king, For
the man whom the king delights to
honour,
8 Let the royal apparel be brought which
the king uses to wear, and the horse that
the king rides upon, and the crown royal
which is set upon his head:
9 And let this apparel and horse be
delivered to the hand of one of the king's
most noble princes, that they may array
the man with whom the king delights to
honour, and bring him on horseback
through the street of the city, and
proclaim before him, Thus shall it be
done to the man whom the king delights
to honour.
10 Then the king said to Haman, Make
haste, and take the apparel and the
horse, as you have said, and do even so
to Mordecai the Yahudim (Jewish man),
that sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail
of all that you have spoken.
11 Then Haman took the apparel and
the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and
brought him on horseback through the
street of the city, and proclaimed before
him, Thus shall it be done to the man
whom the king delights to honour.
12 And Mordecai came again to the
king's gate. But Haman hasted to his
house mourning, and having his head
covered.
13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and
all his friends everything that had befallen
him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh
his wife to him, If Mordecai be of the seed
of the Yahudim (Jewish people), before
whom you have begun to fall, you shall
not prevail against him, but shall surely
fall before him.
1165
14 And while they were yet talking with
him, came the king's officers, and hasted
to bring Haman to the banquet that
Esther had prepared.
Chapter 7
1 So the king and Haman came to
banquet with Esther the queen.
2 And the king said again to Esther on
the second day at the banquet of wine,
What is your petition, queen Esther? And
it shall be granted you: and what is your
request? And it shall be performed, even
to the half of the kingdom.
3 Then Esther the queen answered and
said, if I have found favour in your sight,
O king, and if it pleases the king, let my
life be given me at my petition, and my
people at my request:
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to
be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish.
But if we had been sold for male and
female slaves, I would have held my
tongue, although the enemy could not
countervail the king's damage.
5 Then the king Khashayarsha
(Ahasuerus) answered and said to Esther
the queen, Who is he, and where is he,
that dares presume in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and
enemy is this wicked Haman. Then
Haman was afraid before the king and
the queen.
7 And the king arising from the banquet
of wine in his wrath went into the palace
garden: and Haman stood up to make
request for his life to Esther the queen;
for he saw that there was evil determined
against him by the king.
8 Then the king returned out of the
palace garden into the place of the
banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen
upon the couch where Esther was.1 Then
1 Ancient Jewish wisdom teaches that Haman
(Amalek) was falling on the couch which indicates
 Esther (Hadasah)
said the king, Will he attempt to rape the
queen also while I am in the house? As
the word went out of the king's mouth,
they covered Haman's face.
9 And Harbonah, one of the officers,
said before the king, Behold also, the
gallows seventy five feet high, which
Haman had made for Mordecai, who had
spoken good for the king, stands in the
house of Haman. Then the king said,
Hang him there.
10 So they hanged Haman on the
gallows that he had prepared for
Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath
pacified.
Chapter 8
1 On that day did the king
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus) give the
house of Haman the Yahudim’ (Jewish
peoples) enemy to Esther the queen. And
Mordecai came before the king; for
Esther had told what he was to her.
2 And the king took off his ring, which
he had taken from Haman, and gave it to
Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over
the house of Haman.
3 And Esther spoke yet again before the
king, and fell down at his feet, and
besought him with tears to put away the
mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his
device that he had devised against the
Yahudim (Jewish people).
4 Then the king held out the golden
sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose,
and stood before the king,
5 And said, If it please the king, and if I
have found favour in his sight, and the
thing seem right before the king, and I be
pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to
reverse the letters devised by Haman the
son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which
he wrote to destroy the Yahudim (Jewish
people) which are in all the king's
he wanted to have illicit relation with Esther before
his death.

provinces:
6 For how can I endure to see the evil
that shall come to my people? Or how
can I endure to see the destruction of my
clan?
7 Then the king Khashayarsha
(Ahasuerus) said to Esther the queen and
to Mordecai the Yahudim (Jewish man),
Behold, I have given Esther the house of
Haman, and him they have hanged upon
the gallows, because he laid his hand
upon the Yahudim (Jewish people).
8 Write you also for the Yahudim
(Jewish people), as you like, in the king's
name, and seal it with the king's ring: for
the writing which is written in the king's
name, and sealed with the king's ring,
may no man reverse.
9 Then were the king's scribes called at
that time in the third month, that is, the
month Sivan, on the twenty third day; and
it was written according to all that
Mordecai commanded to the Yahudim
(Jewish people), and to the lieutenants,
and the deputies and rulers of the
provinces which are from India to Cush
(Sudan), a hundred twenty seven
provinces, to every province according to
the decree, and to every people after
their language, and to the Yahudim
(Jewish people) according to their writing,
and according to their language.
10 And he wrote in the king
Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus)' name, and
sealed it with the king's ring, and sent
letters by posts on horseback, and riders
on mules, camels, and young
dromedaries:
11 Wherein the king granted the
Yahudim (Jewish people) which were in
every city to gather themselves together,
and to stand for their life, to destroy, to
slay, and to cause to perish, all the power
of the people and province that would
assault them, both little ones and women,
and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
12 Upon one day in all the provinces of
 Esther (Hadasah)
king Khashayarsha (Ahasuerus), namely,
upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth
month, which is the month Adar.
13 The copy of the writing for a
commandment to be given in every
province was published to all people, and
that the Yahudim (Jewish people) should
be ready against that day to avenge
themselves on their enemies.
14 So the posts that rode upon mules
and camels went out, being hastened and
pressed on by the king's commandment.
And the decree was given at Shushan the
palace.
15 And Mordecai went out from the
presence of the king in royal apparel of
blue and white, and with a great crown of
gold, and with a garment of fine linen and
purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced
and was glad.
16 The Jews had light, and gladness,
and joy, and honour.
17 And in every province, and in every
city, wherever the king's commandment
and his decree came, the Yahudim
(Jewish people) had joy and gladness, a
feast and a good day. And many of the
people of the land became Yahudim by
conversion; for the fear of the Yahudim
them fell upon all people.
3 And all the rulers of the provinces,
and the lieutenants, and the deputies,
and officers of the king, helped the
Yahudim (Jewish people); because the
fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king's
house, and his fame went out throughout
all the provinces: for this man Mordecai
waxed greater and greater.
5 Thus the Yahudim (Jewish people)
smote all their enemies with the stroke of
the sword, and slaughter, and
destruction, and did what they would to
those that hated them.
6 And in Shushan the palace the
Yahudim (Jewish people) slew and
destroyed five hundred men.1

Aspatha,

sources. Recently, however, it has been discovered
that these letters, which occur in the section
describing the
