Tents of Shem

Mashiyach is calling us to come out of Mystery Babylon and not just an assembly. Mystery Babylon is wickedness and rebellion towards Mashiyach in holding on to abominable doctrines from Hagar which is against Alahym's Torah One may be out of an assembly and may still be part of Mystery Babylon if he or she is not repentant of false doctrine.The call is to come to repentance from dead works. Getting back to the Abary roots, to the spiritual olive tree Yasharal to be engrafted into it. Shalum

Rachel weeping for her children

In this note we will see why Rachel is figuratively said of weeping for her children.

We will see the significance of her journey from Bayt El to Ephrath (which was renamed as Bayt Lacham) and how it depicts the journey of Mashiyach Yahusha who was born in Bayt Lacham.

We will see how Ephrathites the seed of Yoseph came into living in Bayt Lacham and were termed as Ephrathites of Bayt Lacham. We will see how Binyamin stood in clinging to the house of David as the one tribe representing YasharEL to keep David’s rule promise alive and being Yoseph’s younger brother shared his border with children of Yoseph and Yahudah and this tribe was given both Bayt EL formerly known as Luz and Bayt Lacham which previously was known as Ephrath or Ephrathah.

We will see what Rachel’s seed went through in affliction for which she is figuratively said of weeping for her children when Herod ordered to kill all male children two years and under. Read on!!!

Mat 2:16 Then Herodes, having seen that he was fooled by the Magi, was greatly enraged, and he sent forth and slew all the male children in Běyth Leḥem and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learnt from the Magi.

Mat 2:17 Then was filled what was spoken by Yirmeyahu the prophet, saying,

Mat 2:18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and weeping, and great mourning – Raḥěl weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they were no more.” Jer 31:15.

Ramah was given to Binyamin her son as inheritance

Jos 18:21 And the cities for the tribe of the children of Binyamin, for their clans, were Yeriḥo, and Běyth Ḥoḡlah, and Ěmeq Qetsits,
Jos 18:22 and Běyth Araḇah, and Tsemarayim, and Běyth Ěl,
Jos 18:23 and Awwim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
Jos 18:24 and Kephar Ha‛ammoni, and Ophni, and Gaḇa – twelve cities with their villages.
Jos 18:25 Giḇ‛on, and Ramah, and Be’ěroth,

Jos 18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Binyamin came up for their clans, and the border of their lot came out between the children of Yehuḏah and the children of Yosěph.

The border of the lot of Binyamin came out between children of Yahudah and children of Yoseph. Let's keep this in mind & revisit this verse later!

Rachel was given to Yaaqob as wife after he served Laban fourteen years! Laban the Aramean i.e.. Rebekah’s brother deceived Yaaqob and made him serve another week of years (7 years) for Rachel after he deceivingly gave Leah to Yaaqob by making him serve a week of years (7 years ) for Rachel.

Gen 25:20 And Yitsḥaq was forty years old when he took Riḇqah as wife, the daughter of Bethu’ěl the Aramean of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laḇan the Aramean.

Gen 29:25 And in the morning it came to be, that see, it was Lě’ah. So he said to Laḇan, “What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Raḥěl that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?”

Gen 29:26 And Laḇan said, “It is not done this way in our place, to give the younger before the first-born.

Gen 29:27 "Complete/mala מלא H4390 the week/shaba שבע H7620 of this one, then we give you this one too, for the service which you shall serve with me still another seven years.”

Gen 29:28 And Ya‛aqoḇ did so and completed her week. Then he gave him his daughter Raḥěl too, as wife.

The word translated as 'Complete' in Gen 29:27 is mala מלא H4390 which means ‘wholly’ and has the root words mal מל which means ‘word or speak’ and mul מול which means ‘circumcise’. We will look at this word mala מלא H4390 in detail a bit later.

The week/shaba שבע H7620 is week of years which is a Shemitah on foreign soil in captivity as Yaaqob was bound to Laban as his servant for his two daughters for two weeks of years plus another week for his livestock. The same word shaba שבע H7650 means to seven oneself, that is, swear (as if by repeating a declaration seven times): - adjure, charge (by an oath, with an oath), feed to the full [by mistake for H7646], take an oath, X straitly, (cause to, make to) swear.

Gen 31:41 “These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten/asar עסר H6235 times/monim מנים plural of manah מנה H4489.

Gen 31:42 “Unless the Elohim of my father, the Elohim of Aḇraham and the Fear of Yitsḥaq, had been with me, you would now have sent me away empty-handed. Elohim has seen my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rendered judgment last night.”

The word asar עסר H6235 translated as ten means 'teen' (as an accumulation to the extent of the digits): - ten, [fif-, seven-] teen. It is also the same word asar עסר H6237 to tithe, that is, take or give a tenth: - X surely, give (take) the tenth, (have, take) tithe (-ing, -s), X truly.

The word monim מנים is plural of manah מנה H4489 & translated as times is used only twice in scripture related to Yaaqob's wages being changed.

manah מנה H4489 From H4487; properly something weighed out, that is, (figuratively) a portion of time, that is, an instance: - time. It has the root word 'man מנ' H4478 as in manna which was messengers bread which the children of YasharEl ate in the wilderness for forty years.

man מנ' H4478 From H4100; literally a whatness (so to speak), that is, manna (so called from the question about it): - manna

Gen 28:16 And Ya‛aqoḇ awoke from his sleep and said, “Truly, יהוה is in this place, and I did not know it.”

Gen 28:17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of Elohim, and this is the gate of the heavens!”

Gen 28:18 And Ya‛aqoḇ rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a standing column, and poured oil on top of it.

Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that place Běyth Ěl, however, the name of that city had been Luz previously.

Gen 28:20 And Ya‛aqoḇ made a vow, saying, “Seeing Elohim is with me, and has kept me in this way that I am going, and has given me bread to eat and a garment to put on –

Gen 28:21 when I have returned to my father’s house in peace, and יהוה has been my Elohim,

Gen 28:22 then this stone which I have set as a standing column shall be Elohim’s house, and of all that You give me, I shall certainly give a tenth/asar עסר H6237 asar עסר H6237 to You.”

Yaaqob describes to his wife how his wages were changed

Gen 31:7 “Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but Elohim did not allow him to do evil to me.

Gen 31:8 “When he/Laban said this, ‘The speckled are your wages,’ then all the flocks bore speckled. And when he said this, ‘The streaked are your wages,’ then all the flocks bore streaked.

Gen 31:9 “So Elohim has taken away the livestock of your father and given them to me.

The Torah portion which came written later came with instructions that cattle with blemish (spotted or stained) cannot be offered as sacrifices to Yahuah.

Lev 22:17 And Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,

Lev 22:18 Speak unto Aharon, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Yashar’el, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Yashar’el, or of the strangers in Yashar’el, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto Yahuah for an ascending smoke offering;

Lev 22:19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats.

Lev 22:20 But whatsoever has a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

Lev 22:21 And whosoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yahuah to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in cattle or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

The word translated as blemish is the Abary word mum מום or מאום H3971 As if passive participle from an unused root probably meaning to stain; a blemish (physical or moral): - blemish, blot, spot. Though the word is not used in the Gen 31:8 text, it was clear to the fathers of belief that they couldn't offer any sacrifice which had spots or streaks on it. In the New Testament Yahusha is mentioned as a lamb unblemished and without spot/mum מום

1Pe1:19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemish that has no spot/mum מום, in the blood of the Mashiyach,

Coming back to Yaaqob, he had mastered the art of cattle breeding, while scriptures are silent on whether or not he offered the spotted cattle as sacrifices to Yahuah (which he wouldn't have), these spotted and speckled cattle made him a wealthy man.

Gen 30:41 And it came to be, whenever the strong ones of the flock conceived, that Ya‛aqoḇ placed the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, so they would conceive among the rods.

Gen 30:42 But when the flocks were weak, he did not put them in, so the weak ones were Laḇan’s and the strong ones Ya‛aqoḇ’s.

Gen 30:43 Thus the man/Yaaqob increased very much, and had many flocks, and female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

As a wealthy man, he could trade off the spotted cattle monetarily for unblemished cattle which can be offered to Yahuah as burnt offerings. What is important to note is that Yaaqob had given an oath to Yahuah that if He would bring back Yaaqob in peace then he would give a tenth of the ten to Yahuah.

Laban changed his wages affecting his tithe promise (tenth of the ten), remember we saw the word asar עסר H6235 & H6237 & monim מנים plural of manah מנה H4489 which was the portion wrongly allotted to him affecting his promise to Yahuah.

In the 21st year Yahuah released Yaaqob from Laban the Aramean’s captivity.

11 sons were born to Yaaqob through Leah, Zilpah, Rachel and Bilhah in the years of his captivity in Laban’s house and this shows his sons and daughter Dinah were born in dispersion.

Deu 32:9 “For the portion of יהוה is His people, Ya‛aqoḇ His allotted inheritance.

Deu 32:10 “He found him in a wilderness, And in a wasted, howling desert. He encompassed him, He made him understand, He watched over him as the apple of His eye.

It is testified where Yahuah found Yaaqob His allotted inheritance; in the waste howling places of the wilderness. The 12th son Binyamin was born on the way to Eprath.

Gen 35:16 Then they set out from Bĕyth Ěl. And it came to be, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, that Raḥĕl began to give birth, and had great difficulty giving birth.

Gen 35:17 And it came to be, as she was having great difficulty giving birth, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for it is another son for you.”

Gen 35:18 And it came to be, as her life was going out – for she died – that she called his name Ben-Oni. But his father called him Binyamin.

Gen 35:19 So Raḥĕl died and was buried on the way to Ephrath, the same/he (hua הוא or haya היא H1931 means 'he/she/it/the same/this or that/which/who) is Bĕyth Leḥem.

Bayth El means 'House of El', Rachel was on her way from the 'House of El' to the 'House of Bread' i.e. Bayth Lacham which formerly was called Ephrath where 'Ephrath' means 'heap/abundance/fruitful' and she went into labor pain on the way to the 'House of Bread' where there is 'abundance' and having great difficulty in giving birth she named her son as she was dying as 'Ben Oni' which means 'son of sorrow or affliction'. The word 'Ban' H1121 means 'son' and 'Oun' H205 means 'trouble/vanity/affliction/naught/sorrow/unrighteous'.

But his father saw no evil in this and hence renamed him to 'Binyamin' which means 'Son of the right hand'. In this instance his Father Yaaqob perfectly understood that this was designed by Yahuah as 'Binyamin' was the 12th son and the final progenitor of the 12th tribe, spiritually the woman depicting the Heavenly Yerushalam was in birth pangs and delivered the male child who was to rule the nations with a rod of iron. He probably saw the 'basarah' and renamed him 'Binyamin' which means 'Son of the right hand', is it coincidence that Yahusha ha Mashiyach was born in 'Bayth Lacham' which formerly was Ephrath? Which indicates that while the journey of the 12 tribes to the 'House of Bread/Bayth Lacham' of 'Abundance or fruitfulness/Ephrath' failed, the true Son of the right hand i.e. Mashiyach would be the one who would be 'fruitful/abundant/ash heap or blessings' born in the 'House of Bread' as he is the 'Bread who came down from the hashamayam'.

Rev 12:1 And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

Rev 12:2 And being pregnant, she cried out in labour and in pain to give birth.

Rev 12:5 And she bore a male child who was to shepherd all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught away to Elohim and to His throne

The name 'Rachal' (Rachel) means 'ewe/sheep' . The name has a root word 'rach' which means 'travel' and 'chal' H2455 which means 'pain/common'. Her name has hidden in it that when she would travel she would face the pain, experience the pain/common. While her name itself means 'ewe/sheep', the picture is of the flock of sheep experiencing the pain/common (chal) when in a journey or travel/rach to Bayth Lacham which is the House of Bread. It's a beautiful picture of the basarah hidden in the names and in the events surrounding the travel.

Now let's look at the word mala:

H4392 מָלֵא mala : From H4390; full (literally or figuratively) or filling (literally); also (concretely) fulness; adverbially fully: - X she that was with child, fill (-ed, -ed with), full (-ly), multitude, as is worth.

The name Naomi means “I went out filled'' The English translation seems to say she went out to the fields of Moab in abundance i.e. rich but came back in poverty. The Abary word translated as 'filled' is 'mala מָלֵא' H4392 where the fullness denotes 'she that was with children' when she went out.

Rth 1:21 “I went out filled/mala H4392, and יהוה has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naʽomi, since יהוה has witnessed against me, and the Almighty has done evil to me?”

And we see that Naomi lost her husband and two sons and came back empty with her daughter in law Ruth who was childless. Ruth was later redeemed by Boaz the Yahudite along with the land sold by Elimelech the Ephrathite before they sojourned in the plains of Moab. The son born to them was Obed whose son was Yishai whose son was David who is both a Yahudite as well as Ephrathite

Rth 1:2 And the name of the man was Elimeleḵ, and the name of his wife was Naʽomi, and the names of his two sons were Maḥlon and Kilyon – Ephrathites of Bĕyth Leḥem, Yehuḏah. And they went to the fields of Mo’aḇ and came to be there.

Rth 4:18 And this is the genealogy of Perets: Perets brought forth Ḥetsron.

Rth 4:19 And Ḥetsron brought forth Ram, and Ram brought forth Amminaḏaḇ.

Rth 4:20 And Amminaḏaḇ brought forth Naḥshon, and Naḥshon brought forth Salmon.

Rth 4:21 And Salmon brought forth Bo‛az, and Bo‛az brought forth Oḇěḏ.

Rth 4:22 And Oḇĕḏ brought forth Yishai, and Yishai brought forth Dawiḏ.

1Ch 2:9 And the sons of Ḥetsron who were born to him: Yeraḥme’ĕl, and Ram, and Keluḇai (Kaleb).

1Ch 2:10 Ram brought forth Amminaḏaḇ, and Amminaḏaḇ brought forth Naḥshon, leader of the children of Yehuḏah;

1Ch 2:11 Naḥshon brought forth Salma, and Salma brought forth Boʽaz;

1Ch 2:12 Boʽaz brought forth Oḇĕḏ, and Oḇĕḏ brought forth Yishai;

1Ch 2:13 Yishai brought forth Eliyaḇ his first-born, and Aḇinaḏaḇ the second, and Shimʽa the third,

1Ch 2:14 Nethanĕ’l the fourth, Raddai the fifth,

1Ch 2:15 Otsem the sixth, Dawiḏ the seventh.

Kelubai is a variant spelling of Kaleb (son of Hetsron who married Ephratah of the daughters of Ephrayim the son of Yoseph ) and he was the brother of Ram. Boaz came from the lineage of Hetsron through Ram.

Kaleb the son of Hetsron through marriage to Ephrathah brought forth the Ephrathites who became permanent dwellers in Bayth Lacham which formerly was called 'Ephrath' when the Canaanites dwelt in the land, hence we see Elimelech, Naomi and their two sons called as Ephrathites. They are called in Ruth 1:2 as Ephrathites of Bĕyth Leḥem, Yahuḏah.

Rth 1:2 And the name of the man was Elimeleḵ, and the name of his wife was Na‛omi, and the names of his two sons were Maḥlon and Kilyon – Ephrathites of Běyth Leḥem, Yehuḏah. And they went to the fields of Mo’aḇ and came to be there.

1Ch 2:18 And Kalěḇ son of Ḥetsron brought forth children by Azuḇah, his wife, and by Yeriyoth. Now these were her sons: Yěsher, and Shoḇaḇ, and Ardon.

1Ch 2:19 And Azuḇah died, and Kalěḇ took Ephrath as his wife, who bore him Ḥur.

1Ch 2:20 And Ḥur brought forth Uri, and Uri brought forth Betsal’ěl.

1Ch 2:21 And afterward Ḥetsron went in to the daughter of Maḵir the father of Gil‛aḏ, whom he took when he was sixty years old. And she bore him Seḡuḇ.

1Ch 2:50 These were the descendants of Kalěḇ: The sons of Ḥur, the first-born of Ephrathah: Shoḇal the father of Qiryath Ye‛arim,

1Ch 2:51 Salma the father of Běyth Leḥem, Ḥarěph the father of Běyth Gaḏer.

1Ch 2:52 And Shoḇal the father of Qiryath Ye‛arim had descendants: Haro‛eh, half of the Menuḥothites.

1Ch 2:53 And the clans of Qiryath Ye‛arim: the Yithrites, and the Puthites, and the Shumathites, and the Mishraites. From these came the Tsor‛athites and the Eshta’olites.

1Ch 2:54 The sons of Salma: Běyth Leḥem, the Netophathites, Atroth Běyth Yo’aḇ, and half of the Menaḥtites, and the Tsor‛ites.

1Ch 2:55 And the clans of the scribes who dwelt at Yaḇěts: the Tirathites, the Shim‛athites, the Suḵathites. These were the Qěynites who came from Ḥammath, the father of the house of Rěḵaḇ.

1Ch 4:1 The sons of Yehuḏah: Perets, Ḥetsron, and Karmi, and Ḥur, and Shoḇal.

1Ch 4:1 lists Hur who was the firstborn son of Eprathah & Shobal his son as sons of Yahudah. They were not immediate sons of Yahudah but the verse shows the lineage through Kaleb. We see this when we see 1Chr 2:51-52 vs 1Chr 4:1. 1Chr 2:51 names Hur's son Salma the father of Bayth Lacham while Bayth Lacham existed as 'Ephrath'

"Bethlehem Yahudah" is a more specific way of referring to the biblical city of Bethlehem, essentially indicating that it is located within the territory of Yahudah, distinguishing it from another Bethlehem mentioned in the Bible, which is situated in Zebulun (Joshua 19:15); while "Bethlehem" alone is the common name for the city, "Bethlehem Yahudah" adds the geographical context to specify its location within the tribe of Yahudah.

Gen 48:7 “And I, when I came from Paddan, Raḥěl died beside me in the land of Kena‛an on the way, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, the same is/hua הוא H1931 Běyth Leḥem.”

Here again Bayth Lacham did not exist as a name in the days of Yaaqob but as Ephrath, but Moshe under the inspiration of the Ruach mentions a name change of Ephrath to Bayth Lacham which only happened in the days of the grandson of Kaleb. Remember we saw the word hua הוא which also means 'he is' & should be used as a reference to understand 1 Chr 2:51 where 'he is' Bayth Lacham the son of Salma a descendant of Kaleb.

1Ch 2:50 These were the descendants of Kalěḇ: The sons of Ḥur, the first-born of Ephrathah: Shoḇal the father of Qiryath Ye‛arim,

1Ch 2:51 Salma the father of Běyth Leḥem,....

The Bayth Lacham/Bethlehem summarized is the town (not yet a city; as it became a fortified city with walls in the days of Rehaboam, the grandson of David) in the hills of Yahudah. The name Ephrathah is a former name of Bayth Lacham/Bethlehem.

2Ch 11:5 And Reḥaḇ‛am dwelt in Yerushalayim, and built cities for a defence in Yehuḏah.

2Ch 11:6 And he built Běyth Leḥem, and Ěytam, and Teqowa,....

Mic 5:2 “But you, Bĕyth Leḥem Ephrathah, you who are little among the clans of Yahuḏah, out of you shall come forth to Me the One to become Ruler in Yisra’ĕl. And His comings forth are of old, from everlasting.

The Book of Micah refers to Bethlehem as Bethlehem Ephrathah adding the geographical context to specify its location within the tribe of Yahudah as formerly this city was named as 'Ephrath/Ephrathah'.

Jos 14:13 Yehoshua then blessed him, and gave Ḥeḇron to Kalěḇ son of Yephunneh as an inheritance.

Jos 14:14 So Ḥeḇron became the inheritance of Kalěḇ son of Yephunneh the Qenizzite to this day, because he followed יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ěl completely.

Jos 14:15 Now the name of Ḥeḇron was formerly Qiryath Arba (Arba was the greatest man among the Anaqim). And the land had rest from fighting.

Kaleb was given Hebron, a city in the hill country of Yahudah, by Joshua after the conquest. Salma, Kaleb's grandson, is known as the "father of Bayth Lacham/Bethlehem" and is associated with its founding. 1Chr 2:51.

Since Ram and Kaleb were blood brothers (1 Chr 2;9) Boaz was the relative on her husband's side but there was one more closer than Boaz to Elimelech who has not been named who definitely would be from the lineage of Kaleb the son of Hetsron and he was given the first preference to redeem Naomi's land and take Ruth to be his wife to give the dead man (Machlun) a name in YasharEl, but since he refused, Boaz the Yahudite the next near kinsman redeemed both the land as well as Ruth.

Rth 2:1 And Naʽomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimeleḵ, and his name was Boʽaz.

Hence, 1 Sam 17:12 records David as the son of Yishai of the son of that Ephrathite of Bayth Lacham referring to being in the lineage of both the wife of Kaleb 'Ephrathah' as well as Ruth who became an Ephrathite in marriage to Machlun from earlier being a Reubenite and was redeemed by Boaz in keeping the name of her dead husband alive in YasharEl.

1Sa 17:12 Now Dawiḏ was the son of that Ephrathite of Bĕyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, whose name was Yishai, and he had eight sons, and in the days of Sha’ul the man was old among men.

Rachel was the mother of Yoseph and she had died on the way to Ephrath i.e. Bayth Lacham and this may have influenced Yoseph to name his younger son Ephrayim which is after the name of the city Ephrath where his mother did not reach to give birth to his younger brother Binyamin/Benjamin. Yahuah who works in the hearts of men ordained this to happen according to the good pleasure of his will. Ephrayim the younger son of Yoseph was given the first-born blessing. The Ephrathite tribe partly was assimilated into the tribe of Yahudah through marriage between Kaleb and Ephrathah and hence, Bayth Lacham of Yahudah would have been allotted to both the tribes Ephrayim and Yahudah.

Many say that there is a difference between 'Ephramite' and 'Ephrathite' and that 'Ephrathites' are actually Yahudites only called by the name 'Ephrath' which is Bayth Lacham. Since, we have no lineage mentioned of Ephrathah, no allocation record of Bayth Lacham to a tribe in the book of Yahushua/Joshua we must look at the blessing given by witnesses to Ruth, also we must look at evidence whether Ephramites were called Ephrathites & David's father Yishai is called as 'Ephrathite' in 1Sam 17:12 and we saw the lineage from the book of Ruth right until David.

The kingdom of David (the Ephrathite as well as a Yahudite) who was king over all of YasharEl, Yahudah was divided in the days of his grandson Rehaboam and Binyamin (Benjamin) whose inheritance as we saw was Ramah clung to the house of David which included the Ephrathites of Bayth Lechem (Bethlehem). We saw Ephraim the son of Yoseph received the first born blessing (birthright) and Binyamin was the younger brother of Yoseph (both sons were from Rachel). Figuratively scripture portrays Rachel weeping for her children as Herod killed all the male children from two years and under to eliminate Mashiyach Yahusha who was born in Bayth Lacham.

Jos 18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Binyamin came up for their clans, and the border of their lot came out between the children of Yehuḏah and the children of Yosěph.

Remember, I told to keep Jos 18:11 in mind as Binyamin's inheritance was until the border between the children of Yahudah and the children of Yoseph.

Jos 18:13 And the border (of Binyamin) went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz, that is Běyth Ěl, southward. And the border went down to Ataroth Aḏar, by the hill that lies on the south side of Lower Běyth Ḥoron.

Jos 18:21 And the cities for the tribe of the children of Binyamin, for their clans, were Yeriḥo, and Běyth Ḥoḡlah, and Ěmeq Qetsits,

Jos 18:22 and Běyth Araḇah, and Tsemarayim, and Běyth Ěl,

Gen 28:18 And Ya‛aqoḇ rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a standing column, and poured oil on top of it.

Gen 28:19 And he called the name of that place Běyth Ěl, however, the name of that city had been Luz previously.

If Luz was previous name of Beyth El and named by Yaaqob why does Jos 18:13 say the border of Binyamin was from Bayth Aven (Jos 18:12) towards Luz, to the side of Luz that is Bayth El southward? Moreover, Jos 18:22 states Bayth El was a city allotted to Binyamin. It's further noted in children of Yoseph's inheritance that from Yericho their allotment was through the hill country to Bayth El and from Bayth El to Luz. Again if Luz was renamed as Bayth El, why are they listed as distinguished from each other?

Jos16:1 Then the lot for the sons of Yoseph went from the Yarden at Yericho to the waters of Yericho on the east into the wilderness, going up from Yericho through the hill country to Beyth-El.

Jos16:2 It went from Beyth-El to Luz, and passed on to the border of the Arkites at Ataroth.

In Scripture, "Luz" and "Bethel" are considered the same place, but in Joshua 16:2 & 18:13, the text appears to distinguish between them because "Bethel" refers to the religious sanctuary within the city of Luz, essentially the set apart site was within the city, while "Luz" refers to the city itself; this distinction is made when describing geographical boundaries in the passage. If you read Josh 16:2 & Jos 18:13 the city Luz has a 'ha ה' suffix at the end making it feminine & they have translated it as 'to' as in 'Bayth El to Luz' instead of 'Bayth El within her, that is Luz'

Jos16:2 It went from Beyth-El within (her) Luzah/לוזה, and passed on to the border of the Arkites at Ataroth.

Similarly Jos 18:13 should be correctly translated as 'And the border went over from within her Luzah/לוזה, to the side within her Luzah/לוזה (that is/hua הוא or haya היא H1931, Beyth-El) southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, near the hill which lies on the south side of lower Beth-horon'.

In simple words both children of Yoseph and Binyamin had access to the set apart site within her i.e. the city of Luz which is Beyth El and Josh 18:13 clarifies this as it says 'that is, Bayth El' while the city of Luz renamed as Beyth El was given as a lot to children of Binyamin as stated in Jos 18:22.

Gen 35:16 Then they set out from Běyth Ěl. And it came to be, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, that Raḥěl began to give birth, and had great difficulty giving birth.

Gen 35:19 So Raḥěl died and was buried on the way to Ephrath, he is (hua הוא or haya היא H1931) Běyth Leḥem.

We saw what hua and haya means: hua הוא or haya היא H1931 means 'he/she/it/the same/this or that/which/who)

Just as Luz was renamed as Bethel, Ephrath or Ephrathah was renamed as Bayth Lechem. The only difference is that Bethel has a reference to the ladder that Yaaqob saw in a dream where messengers of Yahuah were ascending and descending on it ( Yahusha claims to be that ladder and Yahuah Himself in John 1:51) & Yaaqob names the place as Bayth El which means 'House of El', whereas Ephrath was renamed as Bayth Lechem after the son of Salma, the descendent of Kaleb. The reference is made to 'him' and not 'this or that'.

1Ch 2:50 These were the descendants of Kalěḇ: The sons of Ḥur, the first-born of Ephrathah: Shoḇal the father of Qiryath Ye‛arim,

1Ch 2:51 Salma the father of Běyth Leḥem, Ḥarěph the father of Běyth Gaḏer.

We saw Ramah was given to Binyamin, Rachel's son as inheritance & their lot came out between the borders of Yahudah and the children of Yoseph (Josh 18:11).

Jos 18:21 And the cities for the tribe of the children of Binyamin, for their clans, were Yeriḥo, and Běyth Ḥoḡlah, and Ěmeq Qetsits,
Jos 18:22 and Běyth Araḇah, and Tsemarayim, and Běyth Ěl,
Jos 18:23 and Awwim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
Jos 18:24 and Kephar Ha‛ammoni, and Ophni, and Gaḇa – twelve cities with their villages.
Jos 18:25 Giḇ‛on, and Ramah, and Be’ěroth,

We also saw Gen 35:18 that Rachel died in the way to Ephrath who is Bayt Lacham/Bethlehem & she died naming her second son as Ben-Oni which means 'son of my sorrow/affliction'. Gen 35:24 says Rachel had sons Yoseph & Binyamin.

Binyamin had become extinct as their evil men raped a Levite's concubine and killed her and the Levite cut her into 12 pieces (you may read this in Judges 19 through 21) and sent her through all of YasharEl (Jud 19:29). The children of YasharEl made war with Binyamin and killed most of them and only a few were left and to keep the tribe alive they gave them women from Yabesh Gilead as wives as the men of Yabesh Gilead didn't come out to battle with them against Binyamin and they themselves had sworn they will not give their daughters to Binyamin in marriage because of the sin that men of Gibeah committed and Binyamin didn't take any action against the grievous sin.

Jdg 20:46 And all who fell of Binyamin that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword, all of these were mighty men.

Jdg 20:47 But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they dwelt at the rock of Rimmon for four new moons.

Jdg 20:48 And the men of Yisra’ěl turned back against the children of Binyamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. And they set fire to all the cities they came to.

Jdg 21:1 And the men of Yisra’ěl had sworn an oath at Mitspah, saying, “Not one of us shall give his daughter to Binyamin as a wife.”

Jdg 21:12 And they found among the inhabitants of Yaḇěsh Gil‛aḏ four hundred young maidens who had not known a man. And they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Kena‛an.

Jdg 21:13 Then all the congregation sent, and spoke to the children of Binyamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.

Jdg 21:14 And Binyamin turned back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Yaḇěsh Gil‛aḏ. But even so there were not enough for them.

Jdg 21:15 And the people were sorry for Binyamin, because יהוה had made a breach in the tribes of Yisra’ěl.

Jdg 21:16 And the elders of the congregation said, “What do we do for wives for those who remain, since the women have been destroyed out of Binyamin?”

Jdg 21:17 And they said, “There is an inheritance for the survivors of Binyamin, and no tribe is to be destroyed from Yisra’ěl.

Jdg 21:18 “But we are unable to give them wives from our daughters, for the children of Yisra’ěl have sworn an oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the one who gives a wife to Binyamin.’ ”

We know what happened to Yoseph, how his brothers sold him to the Yishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver (Gen 37:28) & they sold him in Egypt. We see Yoseph being bound in prison as his masters wife wanted to lie with him but he fled and she falsely accused him. We see how he rose to power as Governor over Egypt and his two sons born to him were in Egypt i.e. Ephraim and Menasheh. Again we see sons being born in dispersion as they too were blessed as tribes by Yaaqob as recorded in Gen 48.

Rachel weeping for her children is figurative of her birth pangs, her sons great affliction. Yoseph in Hebrew means 'He will add' & Binyamin in Hebrew means 'son of the right hand' and both these titles have a reflection of Mashiyach.

1Ki 11:13 “Only, I shall not tear away all the reign *but give one/achad אחד tribe to your son for the sake of my servant Dawiḏ*, and for the sake of Yerushalayim which I have chosen.”

Binyamin was counted with Yahudah in the lot given to him here as one/achad אחד tribe given to David from Yasharal to keep the kingship of his over Yasharal in promise of Mashiyach ruling over both houses forever. And hence One tribe is Binyamin who was absorbed into Yahudahץ

Yoseph was to have the double portion (birth right) and when Binyamin his brother's lineage as a tribe was given to David's house as the One tribe this would bring David on as equal ground with Yoseph in double portion in ruling over all YasharaEl as David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bayth Lacham/Bethlehem and Ephraim was Yoseph's son. And by bringing Boaz (Yahudite) and Ruth (now an Ephrathite) -both houses from where the Shepherd of Yasharal was prophesied was now made possible.
David was now both the seed of Yahudah and Ephraim and had the son of the right hand i.e. Binyamin with him.

Psa 110:1 יהוה said to my ADON, “Sit at My right hand/yamyin ימין H3225, Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”

If we add 'ban בן' before the word yamyin ימין H3225 we have the name 'banyamin'

Gen 45:22 He/Yoseph gave to all of them, to each man, changes of garments, but to Binyamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

Five changes of garments show the completeness of Torah where number 5 refers to the 5 Torah books. What about the three hundred pieces of silver?

Similarly, the 10 tribes who are the lost sheep of the house of YasharEl, for which Yahusha came to seek and save, impaled Him on the stake. The Gentiles spoken of are from the 10 tribes of the house of YasharEl.

Act 4:26 ‘The sovereigns of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against יהוה and against His Messiah.
Act 4:27 “For truly, in this city there were gathered together against Your set-apart Servant יהושע, whom You anointed, both Herodes and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles and the people of Yisra’ĕl.

The restoration for selling Yahusha would also be 10 times as he was valued at 30 pieces of silver and the basarah is hidden in the Yoseph's account with his brothers.

Mariyam took a costly perfume of nard, anointed the feet of יהושע, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. When Yahudah from Qerioth who was to sell Yahusha for 30 pieces of silver along with others in the house of Shimon valued the perfume at 300 pieces of silver, Yahusha told them to leave her alone and said she has done this to anoint My body for the burial.

Mar 14:4 But there were some who were much displeased among themselves, and said, “Why was this perfume wasted?
Mar 14:5 “For it could have been sold for more than three hundred pieces of silver and given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.
Mar 14:6 But יהושע said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.
Mar 14:7 “For you have the poor with you always, and you are able do good to them, whenever you wish. But you do not always have Me.
Mar 14:8 “What she had, she used. She took it beforehand to anoint My body for the burial.

Joh 12:4 Then one of His taught ones, Yehuḏah from Qerioth, son of Shimʽon, who was about to deliver Him up, said,
Joh 12:5 “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred pieces of silver and given to the poor?”
Joh 12:6 And he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and he used to take what was put in it.

Yoseph was sold into slavery by his 10 brothers to the Midyanites who in turn sold him to the Yishmaelites who are non Yahudim for 20 pieces of silver, a value lesser than a slave.

Hence, the sin of his brothers were grievous because:

1. They were never to sell a Hebrew to Non YasharElite.
2. The price valued for a servant was 30 pieces of silver, but His brothers sold him into slavery for 20 pieces of silver, a lesser value.

Exo 21:32 “If the ox/שור H7794 gores a male or female servant, he is to give to their master thirty sheqels of silver, and the ox/שור H7794 is stoned.

The word translated a ox is shur שור H7794 and the same word H7788 also means a 'traveler/merchant'. Same word H7789 means 'spy out/lay in wait for evil'

Yoseph's brothers acted as those lying in wait for evil for their brother and wanted to kill him but then changed their mind and sold him for a lesser value than a slave.

30 shekels was the cost of replacing a slave.

3. Being in slavery to pagans the hope of release after every 7 years or at yobel/jubilee was lost.

Yet, we see Yoseph, Mashiyach likeness restoring the 300 pieces of silver for his 10 brothers who would be the 10 tribes of YasharEl with a correct price restoration but given to the 'Son of the Right Hand' i.e. Binyamin.

The 2 Estates of the Eternal Yahuah

Isa 44:6 Thus says Yahuah the King of Yashar’El, and his Redeemer Yahuah Tsaba’oth; I am the first/rashun 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 H7223, and I am the last/acharun 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 H314; and beside me there is no Elohiym.

Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first/rashun 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 H7223, and I am the last/acharun 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 H314

Rev 1:18 I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore: Amein; and have the keys of She’ol and of death.

Rev 2:8 And unto the angel of the called out assembly in Smyrna write; These things says the first/rashun 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 H7223 and the last/acharun 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 H314, which was dead, and is alive;

We see Yahuah making a claim in many places that He is the First & the Last and the Hebrew words 'rishon acharun' are listed in the verses above. We see the same claim made by Yahusha in the book of Chazun. What amazes me is in YashaYahu 41:4 Yahuah uses the word 'acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌' which is plural and inexpressible in English unless we understand the concept of 'plural one'

Isa 41:4 Who is ordaining and doing it, calling the generations from the beginning? I Yahuah, the first/rashun 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 H7223, and alaph tau/𐤀𐤕 last ones/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 H314; I am/ 'anay 𐤀𐤍𐤉 H589' He/hua 𐤄𐤅𐤀 H1931'.

The 'plural one' concept is also understood by the word 'achad' . When we understand what achad means , will we able to understand the singular and plural (first and second tense) tenses as “Let Us make man”, “I and the Father are One”, “ they may be one in Us” or else one will conclude either a Trinity, Binarism, Unitarisim etc. Hence, when we look at the word 'acharanyom' we see 2 (plural) but one (singular). Its and estate that Yahuah chose to dwell post His transition as Yahusha bodily, to be face to face with His creation forever.

The word 'acharan 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍 H314' is from the root word 'achar' 𐤀𐤇𐤓 H309 & means hinder; generally late or last; specifically (as facing the east) western: - after (-ward), to come, following, hind (-er, -ermost, -most), last, latter, rereward, ut(ter)most.

The 'yom 𐤉𐤌' at the end of 'acharan 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍' makes it plural and means 'last ones' (generally inexpressible in English) because its a staying place/hindermost place/an everlasting state He chose to stay whereas his first estate 'rashun 𐤓𐤔𐤅𐤍 ' is His singular state attributed as the 'FIRST OVER ALL CREATION'.

Usage of acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 in scripture-examples:

2Sam19:11 Then King Dawid sent to Tsadoq and to Ebiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Yahudah, saying, Why are you the last ones/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 to bring the king back to his house, since the word of all Yisra’El has come to the king, even to his house?

2Sam19:12 You are my brothers; you are my bone and you are my flesh. Why then should you be the last ones/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 to bring back the king?

After the death of Absalom, David sent to the priests to question the elders of Yahudah asking them why are they the last ones to bring back the king to his house. The plural acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 referring to the elders is used here in both verses.

Ecc4:15 I have seen all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child who shall stand up instead of him.
Ecc4:16 There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them, also the latter ones/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 shall not rejoice with him, for this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Gen 33:2 He (Yaaqob) put the maids and their children in front, and Leah and her children next/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌, and Rachel and Yoseph last/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌.

The English translation is inexpressible in the plural form unless we see 'Leah and her children' were placed acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 translated as 'next' & 'Rachel and Yoseph' were placed acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 translated as 'last'. There were more than 'One' and hence, the word acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 is used. Binyamin was not yet born but yet 'Rachel and Yoseph' is more than 'one' & yet they formed as one family.

2Sam23:1 Now these my words/dabaray 𐤃𐤁𐤓𐤉 are the last ones/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 of Dawid, the saying of Dawid the son of Yishay (Jesse), the saying of the man raised on high, the anointed of the El of Yaaqob (Jacob), and the sweet psalmist of Yisra’El

1Chr23:27 For by my words/dabaray 𐤃𐤁𐤓𐤉 Dawid the last ones/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 they were the sons of Lewi numbered from twenty years old and upward.

1Chr29:29 And my words/dabaray 𐤃𐤁𐤓𐤉 King Dawid, the first ones/ha rishonim 𐤄𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤍𐤉𐤌 and the last ones/ acharanyom 𐤄𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌, behold, are written in the words of Shamu’El the seer, in the words of Nathan the prophet and in the words of Gad the seer,

In YashaYahu 41:4 Yahuah says " I am/ 'anay 𐤀𐤍𐤉 H589' He/hua 𐤄𐤅𐤀 H1931". This same claim is made by Yahusha

Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am/'anay 𐤀𐤍𐤉 He/hua 𐤄𐤅𐤀 H1931, you shall die in your sins.

Understanding the Lasting ones state:

Exo 33:14 And he said, My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.
Exo 33:15 And he said unto him, If your presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
Exo 33:16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and your people have found grace in your sight? Is it not in that you go with us? So shall we be separated, I and your people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
Exo 33:17 And Yahuah said unto Mosheh, I will do this thing also that you have spoken: for you have found grace in my sight, and I know you by name.
Exo 33:18 And he said, I beseech you, show me your esteem.
Exo 33:19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahuah before you; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
Exo 33:20 And he said, You cannot see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
Exo 33:21 And Yahuah said, Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand upon a rock/tsur 𐤑𐤅𐤓 H6697:

Exo 33:22 “And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft of the rock/tsur 𐤑𐤅𐤓 H6697 and cover/sakak 𐤎𐤊𐤊 H5526 (Sakak is the same word used for booth) you with My hand/kaphay 𐤊𐤐𐤉 H3709 while I pass by.

Exo 33:23 “Then I shall take away My hand/kaphay 𐤊𐤐𐤉 H3709 and you shall see My back/acharay 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤉 H268, but My face/panay 𐤐𐤍𐤉 H6440 shall not be seen.”

They translated achar 𐤀𐤇𐤓 H268 here as back/hinder part. The same word H312 achar 𐤀𐤇𐤓 means another/other/following.

Yahuah told him to stand on the rock/tsur put Masha in the cleft of the rock/tsur and covered the cleft with his palm/kaph. The Rock that followed/went ahead/walked with them them was Mashiyach.

1Co 10:1 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,
1Co 10:2 and all were immersed into Mosheh in the cloud and in the sea,
1Co 10:3 and all ate the same spiritual food,
1Co 10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that walked/Halak 𐤄𐤋𐤊 with them, and the Rock/Tsur 𐤑𐤅𐤓 was Messiah.

Halak 𐤄𐤋𐤊 means walk/journey/travel. A walk/journey/travel of Yahusha as a pillar of cloud ahead of them and pillar of fire at night behind them.

Yahuah dwells in an approachable light whom no man has or will be able to see, hence, Masha saw Mashiyach the another/achar form and not his back part as per the translations presented to us, he saw the one who would walk/journey with them.

Exo 33:21 And יהוה said, “See, there is a place/room H4725 maqom 𐤌𐤒𐤅𐤌 with Me!/atay 𐤀𐤕𐤉 H854 and you shall stand on the rock/tsur 𐤑𐤅𐤓 H6697

Exo 33:22 “And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand while I pass by.

Psa 18:31 For who is Eloah, besides יהוה? And who is a rock/tsur 𐤑𐤅𐤓 H6697, except our Elohim? .

Yahuah is said to be the rock, Yahuah asked Masha to stand on the rock and in the place with Him/by Him H854 which is from H853 AT (Alaph Tau 𐤀𐤕). Yahuah would proclaim/call out His name before Masha. The words Qum 𐤒𐤅𐤌 maqom 𐤌𐤒𐤅𐤌 H4725 is a raised ground/place. The room or place with Yahusha was raised & speaks of His resurrection body.

This was what the Divine response said which has deep hidden mysteries for Masha saw a similitude of Yahuah i.e. Yahusha in the new creation body, but never saw Yahuah Himself as Yahuah had transitioned in the vision.

It is Yahusha the Rock who led them in the wilderness to cross over to the Promised Land and doesn't it say He as the forerunner has entered on behalf of us denoting that the Promised Land is not earthy but Renewed Yerushalayim in the Torah of life, He Himself walked (halak 𐤄𐤋𐤊), and He is the only One to go behind the veil. His body saw a transition to glorification as the Captain of the hosts of heavens and earth in the new creation order (Headship) and we follow Him in through the transition to be His hosts forever. We will attain the renewed creation body He Himself designed for Himself and for us. We are of His flesh and of His bones.

Exo 33:18 Then he said, “Please, show me Your esteem.”

Exo 33:19 And He said, “I shall cause all/kal 𐤊𐤋 My goodness/toby 𐤈𐤅𐤁𐤉 H2898 to cross over/abar 𐤏𐤁𐤓 H5674 before you, and I shall proclaim or call out/qara 𐤒𐤓𐤀 H7121 in the Name/bashem 𐤁𐤔𐤌 H8034 of יהוה before you. And I shall favour/chanan 𐤇𐤍𐤍 H2603 him whom I favour/chanan 𐤇𐤍𐤍 H2603 and shall have compassion/racham 𐤓𐤇𐤌 H7355 on him whom I have compassion/racham 𐤓𐤇𐤌 H7355.”

The calling out in His name before Masha/Moses was because it was a prophecy that Yahuah would come in the name of Yahuah and His name will be called or proclaimed. It is not as carnal men understand that One person comes in another persons name.

Psa 118:26 Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!We shall bless you from the House of יהוה

Mat 23:39 for I say to you, from now on you shall by no means see Me, until you say, ‘Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!’ ”

Mar 11:8 And many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and were spreading them on the way.

Mar 11:9 And those going before and those following cried out, saying, “Hoshia-na! ‘Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!’

Mar 11:10 Blessed is the coming reign of our father Dawiḏ – in the Name of יהוה! Hoshia-na in the highest!”

This is what scriptures testify as to whom Masha saw:

Num 12:8 “I speak with him mouth to mouth, and plainly, and not in riddles. And he sees the likeness/tamanah 𐤕𐤌𐤍𐤄 H8544 of יהוה. So why were you not afraid to speak against My servant Mosheh?”

H8544 tamanah 𐤕𐤌𐤍𐤄 comes from two root words 'tam' 𐤕𐤌 H8535 which means upright/perfect/undefiled and manah 𐤌𐤍𐤄 H4490 which means portion/part/belonged.

Masha saw the upright/perfect portion/part which belonged to Yahusha in the Renewed Creation Order. Yahuah was showing him that He was transitioning Himself as Yahusha.

The word for womb in Hebrew is 'Racham 𐤓𐤇𐤌 H7358 ' which is the same word translated as 'compassion' H7355 and doesn't He say in Exo 33:19 "...and shall have compassion/racham 𐤓𐤇𐤌 H7355 on him whom I have compassion/racham 𐤓𐤇𐤌 H7355.” The compassion Yahusha would have on us whom He calls by name will be the compassion of the womb. The transition path He would take through the womb in saving the woman who by transgression fell. Isn't this amazing!

Exo 33:22 “And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft/neqarah 𐤍𐤒𐤓𐤄 H5366 of the rock and cover/sakak 𐤎𐤊𐤊 H5526 you with My hand/kaph 𐤊𐤐 H3709 while I cross over/abar 𐤏𐤁𐤓 H5674.

23 “Then I shall withdraw/sur 𐤎𐤅𐤓 H5493 My hand/kaphay 𐤊𐤐𐤉 H3709 and you shall see My back/acharay 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤉 H268, but My face/panay 𐤐𐤍𐤉 H6440 shall not be seen.”

Neqarah 𐤍𐤒𐤓𐤄 H5366 comes from the root word 'naqar 𐤍𐤒𐤓' H5365 which means pierce, put (thrust) out. Through his nail print kaph/palm of the hand in its piercing Masha could see the esteem of Yahuah in another/achar form i.e. Mashiyach Yahusha in transition i.e. in the renewed creation body while he withdrew/turned it aside. Yahuah would cross over/abar to His other/acharath form through which He would once again esteem His name and Masha was covered/sakak 𐤎𐤊𐤊 as in a booth/tent which is a foretaste of the divine renewed creation body as he could only be on the other side to see Yahusha in the New Creation Body as Yahuah had crossed over/abar 𐤏𐤁𐤓 but His face was not shown as remember Yahuchanan/John saw His face in a vision as the sun shining in it's strength and became like a dead man and he was woken up by Yahusha touching him. Here the face was concealed as it was not the time to reveal the identity of Yahusha yet.

Coming back to the YashaYahu passages where Yahuah claims He is the First and the Last in 3 places i.e. Isa 41:4, 44:6 & 48:12, He only places a marker of His singular plurality in YashaYahu 41:4 and here is why

Revised Hebrew translation:

Isa 41:2 “Who raised up the righteous one from the east, called him to His foot, gave the nations before him, and made sovereigns submit to him? He gave them as the dust to his sword, as driven stubble to his bow.
Isa 41:3 “He pursued them, He crossing over/ya abar 𐤉𐤏𐤁𐤓 H5674 in peace/shalum 𐤔𐤋𐤅𐤌 H7965, I will travel/arach 𐤀𐤓𐤇 H734 with his feet /ragalyu 𐤓𐤂𐤋𐤉𐤅 H7272 when He will/ya 𐤉 not yet /𐤋𐤀 fill in or enter/bua 𐤁𐤅𐤀 H935 .

Isa 41:4 “Who is ordaining and doing it, calling the generations from the beginning/rosh 𐤓𐤀𐤔 H7218? ‘I, יהוה, the first/rashun 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 H7223, and alaph tau/𐤀𐤕 last ones/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 H314; I am/ 'anay 𐤀𐤍𐤉 H589' He/hua 𐤄𐤅𐤀 H1931'.

Speaking of YasharEL (Isa 41:8 “But you, Yisra’ěl, are My servant, Ya‛aqoḇ, whom I have chosen, the descendants of Aḇraham who loved Me), Yahuah says He pursued them and crossed over in peace by the travel He had not come with His feet.

Some words to look to understand the revised Hebrew translation

1. ya abar 𐤉𐤏𐤁𐤓 H5674: Yod (𐤉) as a prefix means He will/They will. Abar 𐤏𐤁𐤓 means 'to cross over'.Hence, 'He crossing over' should be the correct approach for a translation.

2. a rach 𐤀𐤓𐤇 H734: Alaph (𐤀) as a prefix means "I will' and 'rach 𐤓𐤇' means 'travel'. Hence, "I will travel". arach 𐤀𐤓𐤇 is one who follows a prescribed path to arrive at a specific destination.

3. ragalyu 𐤓𐤂𐤋𐤉𐤅 H7272: 'ragal 𐤓𐤂𐤋' in Hebrew means 'feet' & the suffix 'yu 𐤉𐤅' means 'His'. Hence, 'His feet'

4. bua 𐤁𐤅𐤀 H935: Means Fill in/Entrance/Come/Go i.e. To come or go into a space is to fill it. A void that desires to be filled.

5. rosh 𐤓𐤀𐤔 H7218: Head: The top of the body. A person in authority or role of leader. The top, beginning or first of something. [Hebrew and Aramaic] [df: syr] [freq. 619] |kjv: head, chief, top, beginning, company, captain, sum, first, principal, chapiters, rulers| {str: 7217, 7218, 7389}

6. Alaph Tau 𐤀𐤕 H853 & H854 The pictograph 𐤀 is a picture of an ox. The t is a picture of two crossed sticks 𐤕 used to make a sign or mark. Combined these pictures represent "an ox moving toward a mark".

7. acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 H314: The word 'acharan 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍 H314' is from the root word 'achar' 𐤀𐤇𐤓 H309 & means hinder; generally late or last; specifically (as facing the east) western: - after (-ward), to come, following, hind (-er, -ermost, -most), last, latter, rereward, ut(ter)most.

In YashaYahu 41:3 Yahuah is saying He in pursuing Yasharal, crossed over in peace and will travel with His feet (referring to His transition form as Yahusha) when He will not yet fill in or enter. Yahuah is identifying Himself to the Messenger who went ahead of YasharEL.

In YashaYahu 41:4 Yahuah is asking a question as to who is ordaining and doing it, calling the generations/dor 𐤃𐤅𐤓 from the beginning/rash 𐤓𐤀𐤔 . Here He is identifying Himself to His first estate as the rash/𐤓𐤀𐤔 who is the head/chief/the first in place, order or rank.

Gen 1:1 IN/Ba 𐤁 the beginning/rashayath 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕 H7225 Elohiym created את the heavens and את the earth.

rashayath 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕 H7225: From the same as H7218 rash 𐤓𐤀𐤔; the first, in place, time, order or rank (specifically a first fruit): - beginning, chief (-est), first (-fruits, part, time), principal thing.

He then summarizes to His identifiable marker of His first estate and His latter staying forever estate " I, Yahuah, the first/rashun 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 H7223, and alaph tau/𐤀𐤕 last ones/acharanyom 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌 H314; I am/ 'anay 𐤀𐤍𐤉 H589' He/hua 𐤄𐤅𐤀 H1931''.

In YashaYahu 44:6 & 48:12 he doesn't use the last estate in plural to show that He alone is the King of YasharEL & He alone is the Deliverer & He alone is the Creator. In YashaYahu 44:6 He calls Himself as 'Yahuah Tsabaouth' which means 'Yahuah of hosts' and the reference to hosts is YasharEL

Isa 44:6 Thus says Yahuah the King of Yashar’El and his Redeemer, Yahuah of hosts: I am the first and I am the last, and there is no Elohim besides Me.

Isa 48:12 Listen to Me, O Yaaqob, and Yashar’El whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last.

In YashaYahu 48:12 He says 'O Yaaqob and YasharEL' in plurality because Yaaqob = YasharEL as He was renamed as YasharEL after wrestling with the Messenger of Yahuah.

Hence, in YashaYahu 44:6 & 48:12 we see the singular Yahuah vs the plural YasharEL. In YashaYahu 41:4 we see Yahuah identifying Himself as the firstborn/chief/head over all creation and the last estate He chooses to dwell/stay forever and hence shows us His transition into it.

The Fading esteem vs the Eternal esteem:

Yahuah revealed Himself in OT as the Angel of His Presence, through reflection of His esteem through the cherubims/seraphims/4 living creatures, imagery etc. in visions. He says Masha saw His similitude

Num 12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude/tamunah 𐤕𐤌𐤅𐤍𐤄 H8544 of Yahuah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

Similitude tamunah 𐤕𐤌𐤅𐤍𐤄 H8544: From H4327; something portioned (that is, fashioned) out, as a shape, that is, (indefinitely) phantom, or (specifically) embodiment, or (figuratively) manifestation (of favor): - image, likeness, similitude.

2Co 3:6 who also made us competent as servants of a renewed covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit, for the letter kills but the Spirit gives life.
2Co 3:7 But if the administering of death in letters, engraved on stones, was esteemed, so that the children of YasharEL were unable to look steadily at the face of Mosheh because of the esteem of his face, which was passing away,
2Co 3:8 how much more esteemed shall the administering of the Spirit not be?
2Co 3:9 For if the administering of condemnation had esteem, the administering of righteousness exceeds much more in esteem.
2Co 3:10 For indeed what was made esteemed had no esteem in this respect, in view of the esteem that excels.
2Co 3:11 For if that which is passing away was esteemed, much more that which remains in esteem

2Co 3:13 And not as Mosheh, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Yashar’el could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remains the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Covenant; which veil is done away in Mashiach.

2Co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Mosheh is read, the veil is upon their heart.

2Co 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the ADON, the veil shall be taken away.

2Co 3:17 Now Yahuah is that Ruach: and where the Ruach Yahuah is, there is liberty.

2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the esteem of Yahuah, are changed into the same image from esteem to esteem, even as by the Ruach Yahuah.

Masha seeing the similitude of Yahuah had the fading esteem which was passing away had to put a veil over his face as his face shone. Shaul the emissary likens this fading esteem to the administration of the letter and says this same veil lies on the hearts of the people when the old covenant is being read, and this veil is taken away in Mashiyach. He goes on to say when one turns to the Adon/Master, the veil is taken away and Yahuah is the Ruach and where the Ruach of Yahuah is, there is freedom. This shows the last estate of Yahuah in the completed transition as the Hebrew word Ruach 𐤓𐤅𐤇 H7307 has the root word 'rach 𐤓𐤇' which means 'travel'. Remember we saw the word arach 𐤀𐤓𐤇 H734 in YashaYahu 41:3 which uses a prefix alaph 𐤀 to 'rach 𐤓𐤇' & shows one who follows a prescribed path to arrive at a specific destination.

The Ruach 𐤓𐤅𐤇 is Yahuah showing us in a mirror His image as Yahusha in whom we are being transformed into the same likeness from esteem (first estate) to esteem (last estate) by Ruach Yahuah.

Yahusha claiming to be the Rishon Ahkaron (First and the Last) in Rev 1:11, 17, Rev 2:8, Rev 22:13 shows that His transition is completed and we in Him are complete.

His claim as Alaph (𐤀) and the Tau (𐤕) in Rev 1:8,11, Rev 21:6 & Rev 22:13 is synonymous with first/rashun 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 H7223, and the last/acharun 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 H314; Alaph is the first letter in Hebrew and Tau is the last letter in Hebrew and Yahusha is claiming to be in the letter as Dabar Yahuah. He is the Ruach Language which gives Life.

Are the Ten Commandments done away with?

There is a group in Australia teaching that since we have transitioned to the New Covenant and so did Yahuah, He has done away with the Old covenant and the entire OT is a historical document and the commands to follow are just 2 i.e. Love Yahuah with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and Love your neighbor as yourself. And that too not to use the name Yahuah or else you are part of the Yahuah only doctrine. Moreover, they also teach that since we are the temple of the Ruach Ha Qodesh, the temple worship is transitioned within us and yet their group member strums the guitar before every dining discussion with carnal songs which are not scripture based and their dining discussions is nothing but an assembly. I will touch base on all the deception they are teaching and trying to lead lone souls to believe lies arising out of this deception. Desiring to be teachers, they being babes have even gotten their women to teach and usurp authority and all their dining discussion and terrace talks are out of a carnal mind and opinion based and not scripture.

Question 1: Is the OT a historical document?

1Jn 2:7 Brethren, I write no renewed commandment unto you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you have heard from the beginning.

Yahuchanan says that he is not writing a renewed commandment unto the assembly but an old commandment which they had from the beginning.

The renewed commandment he is referring to in 1John 2:8-12 is loving the brother as yourself which is a summing up of the old commandment and not a replacement commandment.

1Jn 2:8 Again, a renewed commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shines.
1Jn 2:9 He that says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1Jn 2:10 He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
1Jn 2:11 But he that hates his brother is in darkness, and walks in darkness, and knows not whither he goes, because that darkness has blinded his eyes.
1Jn 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

The danger lies in replacement theology, shunning the commandment itself which is the foundation of the Ruach working through the commandment either leading to life or death as the Ruach is hidden in the letter.

Heb 8:7 For if that first had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he says, Behold, the days come, says Yahuah, when I will cut/karatay 𐤊𐤓𐤕𐤉 a Renewed/chadashah 𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤄 Covenant with the house of Yashar’el and with the house of Yahudah:

Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I cut/karatay 𐤊𐤓𐤕𐤉 with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Mitsrayim; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says Yahuah.

Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I shall cut/akarat 𐤀𐤊𐤓𐤕 with the house of Yashar’el after those days, says Yahuah; I will put my Torah into their mind, and write it in their hearts: and I will be their Elohiym, and they shall be to me a people:

Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahuah: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their Torahless deeds will I remember no more.

Heb 8:13 In that he says, A Renewed Covenant/chadashah 𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤄, he has made the first secondary/yashan 𐤉𐤔𐤍 . Now that which abides long is secondary/noshan 𐤍𐤅𐤔𐤍 from the ancient/𐤌𐤆𐤒𐤉𐤍 is ready to move to an extremity or utmost/𐤒𐤑𐤅.

The fault was found in them and not in the commandment/covenant as the Abrahamic covenant is eternal, the Torah of sin and death was enforced for Yasharal after the flesh because of the golden calf. There are some words we need to understand in the right perspective in Heb 8:7-13

karatay 𐤊𐤓𐤕𐤉: has the root word 'kar 𐤊𐤓' which means to dig out

chadashah 𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤄: chadash 𐤇𐤃𐤔 is a renewed month/crescent moon

yashan 𐤉𐤔𐤍: what was before the second. i.e. now secondary. shan 𐤔𐤍 means 'second/two/twice'

noshan 𐤍𐤅𐤔𐤍: nu 𐤍𐤅 or nuah 𐤍𐤅𐤄 means to abide for long. shan 𐤔𐤍 means 'second/two/twice'. Hence, 'noshan 𐤍𐤅𐤔𐤍' means 'abides long is secondary'

mazaqyan 𐤌𐤆𐤒𐤉𐤍: from the aged/ancient where mem as prefix is 'from'. zaqan 𐤆𐤒𐤍 H2204 & H2205 means to be old: - aged man, be (wax) old (man).

qatsu 𐤒𐤑𐤅: H7093 𐤒𐤑 from H7112 𐤒𐤑𐤅 move to an extremity or utmost/cut in pieces/to chop

Yahuah is letting us know that because He found fault with Yasharal and Yahudah, He will dig out a renewed covenant by writing the Torah on their minds and their hearts & not as the covenant He dug out with the fathers when He led them by His hand out of Egypt. Heb 8:13 should be understood in the correct perspective as it says by the renewal of the covenant, he has made the first secondary. Now that which abided for long as first is now second, moved from the aged/ancient position & is ready to move to an extremity or is broken down in pieces and those pieces have to be joined piece by piece to understand the covenant. If you notice the FIRST is moved as SECONDARY and is moved to the utmost end. The very same thing is stated by Yahuchanan, that he is not writing a renewed covenant but the one which is now made secondary.

Revised Hebrew Translation:

1Joh 2:7 My brother, I do not write a renewed commandment to you, but a secondary/yashanah commandment which you had from the beginning. The secondary/yashanah commandment is the Word which you have heard.

The secondary is the first which has been moved and is ancient as per Shaul in Hebrews 8:13. Yahuchanan says that this secondary commandment which was first is the word which you had and heard from the beginning. This can be complicated unless we understand the seconded voice of Yahuah in the first when He gave the Torah at Sinai.

Ex 20:18 All the people perceived the 𐤀𐤕 voices/qolot 𐤒𐤅𐤋𐤕 and the 𐤀𐤕 lightning flashes and the 𐤀𐤕 sound of the shophar and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood at a distance.

This is confirmed and understood better when we turn to the text of Deuteronomy where Masha/Moses records this as voice.

Deu 5:22 𐤀𐤕-These words YAHUAH spoke unto all your assembly in the Mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a magnificent/gadul voice/qol H6963: and he added no more. And he wrote them on two stones and delivered them unto me.
Deu 5:23 And it came to pass, when you heard 𐤀𐤕-the voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Deu 5:24 And ye said, Behold, YAHUAH ELOHAYNU has showed us 𐤀𐤕-his esteem and 𐤀𐤕-his greatness, and we have heard 𐤀𐤕-his voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that ELOHIYM talks 𐤀𐤕-with man, and he lives.
Deu 5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear 𐤀𐤕-the voice of YAHUAH ELOHAYNU anymore, then we shall die.

Exodus 20:18 uses the word 'qolot 𐤒𐤅𐤋𐤕' which is the plural of 'qol 𐤒𐤅𐤋 ' and means voices whereas the singular 'qol 𐤒𐤅𐤋' is translated as 'voice'.

The detail given by the people in Exodus 20 that He spoke with “voices/qolot,” shows us more than one voice i.e., a literal command seconded by the ruach hidden in the command. His “magnificent voice” was, in fact, the miraculous utterance of multiple voices being emitted from a HIM at once! When He spoke the Ten Commandments, although He alone was speaking, He was supernaturally uttering more than one word at the same time with the Ruach in the letter! This is nothing less than the gift of tongues, a miraculous form of speech, spoken by the Creator of all tongues, Himself! As He poured out His Torah, His Ruach used a speaking method that cannot be explained but HE demonstrated His own power to every single person there!

Hence, when we compare this with 1John 2:7 & Heb 8:13 we see what was below the surface was brought out as the first and the first was placed secondary as a base and the piece by piece of the secondary with the Ruach witness would help in gathering the entire picture of the covenant .

2Co 3:6 Who also has made us able ministers of the Renewed Covenant; not of the letter/aut 𐤀𐤅𐤕, but of the Ruach: for the letter/aut 𐤀𐤅𐤕 kills, but the Ruach gives life.

2Co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was full of esteem, so that the children of Yashar’el could not steadfastly behold the face of Mosheh for the glory of his countenance, which glory was to be done away:

2Co 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the ruach be rather be full of esteem?

The letter/aut 𐤀𐤅𐤕 H226: Is a sign/mark/token pointing to the object i.e. 'alaph tau 𐤀𐤕' H853.

'alaph tau 𐤀𐤕' H853: in the demonstrative sense of entity; properly self & is the object itself.

Hence, when Shaul says the aut 𐤀𐤅𐤕 H226 kills, it is clear that the written or heard commandment/s pointed to what was beneath them i.e. the Ruach which gives life. Carnal man doesn't understand the commandment in the true Ruach intention but appeases his flesh by trying to obey it and fails without realizing it's true intent.

Heb 12:25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from heaven:

Heb 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

Heb 12:27 And this word, yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

The Speaker is the same, He switched positions in a transition and so also the commandment/s. The first was made secondary and the secondary was made first to enable us to hear and understand the commandment/s by the Ruach witness. Hence, the commandment cannot be removed and shunned away by saying its historic.

Heb 4:2 For unto us was the Besorah preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

2. Is Yahuah dead or no more? Has the temple worship transitioned within us?

To understand this we must see the 5 words Shaul chose to speak in the assembly rather than the 10,000 words in an unknown language:

1Co 14:19 Yet in the assembly I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

Yahusha taught us that the Torah and the prophets hang on and are summarized by the two greatest commands:

1. Hear O Yasharal Yahuah our EL, Yahuah is One. You shall love Yahuah your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your knowledge and with all your strength.

2. Love your Neighbour as yourself

Mark 12:29 Yahusha answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Yisra’El! Yahuah our El, Yahuah is one.”

Mark12:30 “And you shall love Yahuah your El with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your knowledge, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment.”

Mark12:31 “Now The second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.

Hence, we must look at the Ten commandments to categorize the 2 sets of commands.

Deut 4:13 So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, that is, the ten/asereth עסרת words/dabarym דברים.; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

Deut 10:4 He wrote on the tablets, like the former writing, the 𐤀𐤕 ten/asereth עסרת words/dabarym דברים which Yahuah had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and Yahuah gave them to me.

Here was Shaul in the Corinthian assembly who by their unknown tongue were displaying they were getting revelations about who Yahusha is without giving an understanding to others. Hence, he upholds that the languages which spoke of the 'the great deeds of Elohim' were to the unbelieving to be incorporated into being a Messianic, while prophesying with understanding is for the believing, unto edification.

Acts 2:11 Krethim and Arabians, behold, we do hear them in our own languages speaking of the great deeds of Elohim.”

Hence, it related to the five commands or five words out of the ten words relating to the revelation of Yahusha (first 5 commands) & he rather in the assembly speak of the five words with understanding to edification rather than speak in ten thousand words in an unknown language. He brings an order of if any such thing happens, there has to be one who interprets. Hence, he breaks it to 5 words as its of the first 5 to the second 5 summed as 2 royal laws.

1Cor14:27 If anyone speaks in a language, let it be spoken two by two or three, and no more and one after another and let one interpret.

The Torah of the ten words is divided into 2 categories 1. Related to Yahuah and & 2. Related to our neighbour. The 5 words Shaul spoke of were the commands related to Yahuah in displaying LOVE which he elaborately spoke of in all his letters showing Yahusha is Yahuah, thus bringing edification to the set-apart ones. Yahusha summarized the ten working words into 2 categories as well showing us that He was and is the SPEAKER. The ten words are eternal and 5 have transitioned into HIM which we need eyes to see just how. The other 5 will be perfected in US when we find ourselves in the transition of the first 5 into HIM. We cannot love our neighbor as ourselves unless we LOVE HIM ABOVE LOVING EVEN OURSELVES AND OUR LOVED ONES.

Hence, lets see the 5 commands related to Yahuah only in this study:

Command 1:

Ex 20:2 I am Yahuah your El, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery.

Ex 20:3 You shall have no other mighty ones before Me.

Command 2:

Ex 20:4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heavens above or what is on the earth beneath or what is in the water under the earth.

Ex 20:5 You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, Yahuah your El, am a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generations of those who hate Me,

Ex 20:6 but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me, and to those who keep My commandments.

Command 3:

Ex 20:7 You shall not take the name of Yahuah your El in vain, for Yahuah shall not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.

Command 4:

Ex20:8 Remember the Shabbat day, to keep it holy.

Ex20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

Ex20:10 but the seventh day is a Shabbat of Yahuah your El; you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male servant or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who is within your gates.

Ex20:11 For in six days Yahuah made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore, Yahuah blessed the Shabbat day and made it holy.

Command 5:

Ex 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which Yahuah your El gives you.

Command 1:

Ex 20:2 I am Yahuah your El, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery.

Ex 20:3 You shall have no other mighty ones before Me.

Rev 11:8 And their carcasses shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Mitsrayim, where also our Yah was impaled.

Mat 2:13 And when they had left, see, a messenger of יהוה appeared to Yosěph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the Child and His mother, and flee to Mitsrayim, and remain there until I bring you word, for Herodes is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”
Mat 2:14 And rising up, he took the Child and His mother by night and departed for Mitsrayim,
Mat 2:15 and remained there until the death of Herodes, to fill what was spoken by יהוה through the prophet, saying, “Out of Mitsrayim I have called My Son.”

Hos 11:1 “When Yashara’ěl was a child, I loved him, and out of Mitsrayim I called My son.

Hos 11:2 “They called to them, so they went from their face. They slaughtered to the Ba‛als, and burned incense to carved images.

Mitsrayim/Egypt is a synonym used for physical Yerushalayim and this can be understood by Rev 11:8. When it was prophesied that Out of Mitsrayim I have called my Son, it is clear that the call is to enter Spiritual Yerushalayim and those occupied in the letter as Hos 11:2 says "They slaughtered to the Baals & burned incense to carved images. A carved image may not necessarily be a literal idol, but a carnal understanding of the commandment. The command 'out of the house of slavery' shows slavery to the Torah of sin and death and the mighty ones served are the principalities and powers of the Levvim priesthood which stood in shadows and types i.e. in mediatorship.

Command 2:

Ex20:4 You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heavens above or what is on the earth beneath or what is in the water under the earth.

Ex20:5 You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, Yahuah your El, am a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generations of those who hate Me,

Ex20:6 but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me, and to those who keep My commandments.

Rev 2:14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Bil`am, who taught Balaq to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Yashar’el, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

When Balaq called Bilaam to curse the people of Yasharal, this was Yahuah's response to Bilaam

Num 22:9 And Elohim came to Bil‛am and said, “Who are these men with you?”
Num 22:10 And Bil‛am said to Elohim, “Balaq, son of Tsippor, sovereign of Mo’aḇ, has sent to me, saying,
Num 22:11 See, a people has come out of Mitsrayim and cover the surface of the land. Come now, curse them for me. It might be that I am able to fight against them and drive them out.’ ”
Num 22:12 And Elohim said to Bil‛am, “Do not go with them. You do not curse the people, for they are blessed.”

The children of Yasharel couldn't be cursed but them sinning against Yahuah could bring a curse on themselves. The counsel of Bilaam was to tempt them through the women of Midian, and behold, these caused the children of Yasharal to commit trespass against Yahuah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of Yahuah.

Num 31:15 And Mosheh said to them, “Have you kept all the women alive?

Num 31:16 “Look, they are the ones who caused the children of Yashar’ěl, through the word of Bil‛am, to trespass against יהוה in the matter of Pe‛or, and there was a plague among the congregation of יהוה.

Num 31:17 “And now, kill every male among the little ones. And every woman who has known a man by lying with a man you shall kill.

The word 'stumbling-block H4383 𐤌𐤊𐤔𐤅𐤋 makashul' properly means anything over which one falls or stumbles, and then anything over which anyone may fall into sin, or which becomes the occasion of one's falling into sin, thus weakening them. The meaning here is, that it was through the instructions of Bilaam that Balaq learned the way by which the Yasharalites might be led into sin and might thus bring upon themselves the plague. In the Pergamos assembly they held on to the doctrine of Bilaam and the doctrine is evident that they were allowed to mingle with unbelievers or take an unbelieving wife/husband, causing a stumbling block in fornication through idolatry thus violating Yahuah's command not to make for yourself an idol.

2Co 6:14 Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?

2Co 6:15 And what concord has Yahusha Ha’Mashiach with Beliya`al? Or what part has he that believes with an infidel?

2Co 6:16 And what agreement has the Temple of Elohiym with idols? For you are the Temple of the living Elohiym; as Elohiym has said, I will dwell in them and walk in them; and I will be their Elohiym, and they shall be my people.

2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be you separate, says Yahuah, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says Yahuah Tsaba’oth.

Rev 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you suffer that woman Iyzebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit fornication with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the called-out assemblies shall know that I am he which searches the minds and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

The name Iyzebel comes from 2 root words 1. Iy 𐤀𐤉 H335 which means 'where/whence' & 2. zabal 𐤆𐤁𐤋 H2082 'to dwell with/reside'. The assembly at Thyatiera had a woman/women teachers indicated by the phrase 'which calls herself a prophetess' causing fornication and idolatry in Baal/lord worship, i.e. through a false representation of who Yahuah is.

1Co 14:34 Let your women she be/𐤕 silent/ shatqanah 𐤔𐤕𐤒𐤍𐤄 in the assemblies, for they are not allowed to speak, but let them subject themselves, as the Torah also says

Where does the Torah tells us the women to be silent in the assemblies? The entire Torah doesn't have a direct quote asking the women to be silent in the assemblies but this can be understood in the order Yahuah ordained for her.

Gen 3:16 To the woman He said, “I greatly increase your sorrow and your conception – bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your husband, and he does rule over you.”

The Hebrew word for silent used is 'shatqanah 𐤔𐤕𐤒𐤍𐤄' where 'shath 𐤔𐤕' means 'sit', 'taqanah 𐤕𐤒𐤍𐤄' means 'order' & 'qanah 𐤒𐤍𐤄' means 'keep'.

Shaul the emissary was referring to the order that the woman has to keep her estate and he also refers to this order in 1Tim 2:11-15

1Ti 2:11 Let a woman learn in silence/dumam 𐤃𐤅𐤌𐤌 H1826, in all subjection.

1Ti 2:12 But I do not give permission /rashuth 𐤓𐤔𐤅𐤕 to a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, rather, to be in silence/dum 𐤃𐤅𐤌 H1826.

1Ti 2:13 Because Aḏam was formed first, then Ḥawwah.

1Ti 2:14 And Aḏam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, fell into transgression.

1Ti 2:15 But she shall be saved in bearing/ladathah 𐤋𐤃𐤕𐤄 of sons/banayam 𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤌 if they continue in belief, and love, and set-apartness, with sensibleness.

The word 'rash 𐤓𐤔' means 'head' & 'shath 𐤔𐤕' means 'sit' and hence 'rashuth 𐤓𐤔𐤅𐤕' means 'sit on the head'. To make sense the translators translated it as 'permission' as 'rashayun 𐤓𐤔𐤉𐤅𐤍' in Hebrew means 'grant/permit'. The woman fell in transgression being deceived and lost her first estate and shall be saved in 'bearing of sons ' (referring to Mashiyach likeness subjection to the Father & sons of ruach). She has to follow the order given to her.

A background of the Omri dynasty:

1Ki 16:29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa sovereign of Yahuḏah, Aḥaḇ son of Omri became sovereign over Yashar’ěl. And Aḥaḇ son of Omri reigned over Yashar’ěl in Shomeron twenty-two years.

1Ki 16:30 And Aḥaḇ son of Omri did evil in the eyes of יהוה, more than all those before him.

1Ki 16:31 And it came to be, as though it had been a light matter for him to walk in the sins of Yaroḇ‛am son of Neḇat, that he/Ahab took as wife Iyzeḇel the daughter of Ethba‛al, sovereign of the Tsiḏonians. And he went and served Ba‛al and bowed himself to it,

1Ki 16:32 and raised up a slaughter-place for Ba‛al in the house of Ba‛al, which he had built in Shomeron.

Who was Amri/Omri?

Jeroham/Yahuram king of Yahudah married the granddaughter of Omri/Amri the king of Yasharel. Ahaziah/AchazYahu was a produce of that integrated marriage. In both the texts 2Kings 8:26 & 2 Chr22:2 we read 'And his mother’s name was AthalYahu, the daughter of Amri/Omri'. She was not the direct daughter of Omri/Amri but his granddaughter. She was the direct daughter of Ahab/Achab.

2Ki 8:26 Two and twenty years old was Achazyahu when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Yerushalayim. And his mother's name was Athalyahu, the daughter of Omriy king of Yashar’el.

2Ch 22:2 Forty and two years old was Achazyahu when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Yerushalayim. His mother's name also was Athalyahu the daughter of Omriy.

2Chr21:6 And he (Yahuram/Jehoram) walked in the way of the kings of Yashar’ěl, just as the house of Achab/Ahab did: for Achab’s/Ahab's daughter was the wife to him, and he did evil in the sight of Yahuah.

Omri/Amri whose genealogy is not mentioned (he was the commander of the army) became king of Yasharel & Ahab/Achab was his direct son, which means if Yahuram/Jehoram king and son of Yahushapat/Jehoshapat the king of Yahudah married Ahab/Achab's daughter, Ahaziah/AchazYahu was both son from lineage from Omri from his mother as well as from the lineage of David from his father. While lineage is attributed to the father's lineage only, it's important to understand the perspective of the writer of 2 Chronicles as he was pointing out to a non set apart dynasty. Ahaziah/AchazYahu also walked in the way of the house of Ahab/Achab and did evil in the eyes of Yahuah.

1Ki 21:25 Indeed, there never was anyone like Aḥaḇ who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of יהוה, because Iyzeḇel his wife stirred him up.

1Ki 21:26 And he acted very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom יהוה dispossessed from before the children of Yashar’ěl.

2 Kings 8:27 And he (Ahaziah/AchazYahu ) walked in the way of the house of Ahab/Achab, and did evil in the sight of the Yahuah, as did the house of Ahab/Achab: for he was the son by law of the house of Ahab/Achab.

While in our culture we would call Yahuram/Jehoram as son in law of Ahab/Achab as he married Ahab's/Achab's daughter, here in 2 Kings 8:27 mentions Ahaziah/AchazYahu as the son in/by law of the house of Ahab/Achab and its a clear indication that he is tied up also to the lineage of Omri/Amri dynasty.

Iyzebel's influence was seen in the entire dynasty in seducing everyone into Baal worship and extreme wickedness, the influence was so strong that it carried over to Yahudah and Yahuah executed judgment on the house of Ahab through Jehu/Yahu.

You may refer to my note covered in detail here: Tents of Shem: Was Ahaziah/AchazYahu king of Yahudah 22 years old (2 Kings 8:26) or 42 years old (2 Chr 22:2)?

A misrepresentation of who Yahuah is, is Baal worship and idolatry. Yahuah says "visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generations of those who hate Me" & we can see Yahuah visiting Omri's dynastry in eliminating them

Omri (commander whose genealogy is not mentioned), Ahab (son of Omri), Yahuram king of Yashar’ěl (son of Ahab), AtalYah (married to Yahuram son of Yahushapat of Yahudah) & AchazYahu (son of Yahuram king of Yahudah & AtalYah). Hence, we see Yahuah in the commandment showing that He visits the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the 3rd and 4th generation and we see this in the Omri dynasty.

Command 3:

Ex 20:7 You shall not take the name of Yahuah your El in ruin/shua 𐤔𐤅𐤀 H7723, for Yahuah shall not leave him unpunished who takes His name in ruin/shua 𐤔𐤅𐤀 H7723.

Jer 23:25 I have heard 𐤀𐤕 what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Jer 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? Yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Jer 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Ba`al.

These are the roots of Mystery Babylon. Changing Elohim's name is forbidden in scripture. And Jeremiah 23:26-27 is very clear on this. Giving Elohim a name which is not VALIDATED by him, is taking his name in VAIN. It's a direct violation of the 10 commandments.

Pr 30:4 Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? who has gathered the wind (ruach) in his fists? who has bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

Who was the one who descended and ascended into heaven as stated in Proverbs 30:4

Eph 4:10 He (Messiah) that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things).

Joh 12:28 Father, bring esteem to your name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both esteemed it, and will esteem it again.

Yahusha prayed that Elohim esteem His name. Elohim speaks of esteeming his name TWICE. So, let's look at when did Elohim reveal to Masha/Moses that his name was 'YAHUAH' and what does the name mean?

Yahuah comes from the root word 'hayah 𐤄𐤉𐤄' (H1961) which means 'to be/become'. In what context Elohim reveals to Masha/Moses his name can be understood when we read Exo 6:1

Ex 6:1 ¶ Then the YAHUAH said unto Masha, Now shall you see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

With a mighty hand Elohim would deliver his people from the hand of Pharaoh and Elohim fulfilled this when he cast the horse and the rider in the depths of the sea.

Ex 15:4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host has he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

6 Thy right hand, O YAHUAH, is become esteemed in power: your right hand, O YAHUAH, has dashed in pieces the enemy.

Isa 53:1 ¶ Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the YAHUAH revealed?

Joh 12:37 ¶ But though He (Messiah) had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

38 That the saying of YashaYahu the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Adonay, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of Yahuah been revealed?

Yahuah is a Ruach and his 'ARM' is an act of him 'BECOMING' (H1961 'hayah 𐤄𐤉𐤄') which we see fulfilled in Messiah who is the Right hand of Elohim which is become esteemed in power as stated in Exo 15:6 because by it he dashed in pieces the enemy.

Re 19:15 And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty

Re 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers (Greek suntribo G4937: to shatter): even as I received of my Father.

In the context of John 12:28 when we compare scriptures with scriptures, we see that Elohim glorified his name 'YAHUAH' the first time when he delivered Yashar’ěl out of Egypt by his mighty hand and the second time by the name 'YAHUSHA' which is rooted and come from 'YAHUAH' and means 'YAHUAH HAS BECOME MY SALVATION'

Php 2:9 Wherefore Elohim also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of 'Yahusha' every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Yahuah is Yahusha Ha’Mashiach, to the esteem of Elohiym the Father.

Nothing is more annoying than when someone calls you by a name that is not your name. It would be insulting if it had repeatedly been made clear what your name was. But after they had been warned not to call you by any other name, especially a derogatory name you would be furious.

I am YAHUAH, that is My name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images. (Isaiah 42:8).

Man is carnal and doesn't understand the things of Elohim. Man doesn't understand why Elohim gave us a name. Messiah bears the name of YAHUAH and came in his NAME.

Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

These are the very words of Messiah. You will not see (Greek word G3708 horao: which means discern clearly/behold) me unless you confess that I am come in the name of 'YAHUAH'. Those who can't see/discern this/behold this are under the influence of Mystery Babylon because the name change from 'Yahusha' to 'Iseous' was done by Rome.

Mt 23:39 For I say unto you, You shall not see (Greek: G3708 horao) me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of Yahuah.

Ps 118:26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of YAHUAH, we have blessed you out of the house of YAHUAH.

Eze 36:20 And when they entered unto the heathen, where they went, they profaned/chalal 𐤇𐤋𐤋 H2490 my set-apart name, when they said to them, these are the people of Yahuah, and are gone forth out of his land.

Eze 36:21 But I had pity for my set-apart name, which the house of Yashar’el had profaned among the heathen, where they went.

Eze 36:22 Therefore say unto the house of Yashar’el, thus says Adonai Yahuah; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Yashar’el, but for my set-apart name's sake, which you have profaned/chalal 𐤇𐤋𐤋 H2490 among the heathen, where you went.

Eze 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned/chalal 𐤇𐤋𐤋 H2490 among the heathen, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am Yahuah, says Adonai Yahuah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

While changing the name of Yahuah is evident among Christianity & Hebrew roots movement, it's evident that Ezekiel uses the word translated in English as 'profaned' in Hebrew as 'chalal 𐤇𐤋𐤋 H2490'

chalal 𐤇𐤋𐤋 H2490: to bore a hole, to wound, to dissolve or dilute, stain, to play the flute or pipe, player on instruments.

1Ki 1:39 And Tsadoq the priest took a horn of oil out of the Tabernacle, and anointed Shelomoh. And they blew the shofar; and all the people said, Elohiym save King Shelomoh.

1Ki 1:40 And all the people came up after him, and the people piped/chalal 𐤇𐤋𐤋 H2490 with pipes/chalyal 𐤇𐤋𐤉𐤋 H2485, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.

Psa 87:6 Yahuah shall count, when he writes up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

Psa 87:7 As well the singers as the players on instruments/ chalal 𐤇𐤋𐤋 H2490 shall be there: all my springs are in you.

The phrase to the chief musician in Hebrew at the beginning of many Psalms is ‘la ma natsach’ 𐤋𐤌𐤍𐤑𐤇 and Asaph was the chief musician who recorded as Dawid gave the Psalms he wrote to him, thus Asaph the seer became the custodian of the Psalm for a repurpose in worship.

1Ch 16:7 And on that day Dawiḏ first gave thanks to יהוה by the hand of Asaph and his brothers: But Asaph which in Hebrew means ‘gatherer 𐤀𐤎𐤐’ H623 Was not the receiver of worship, it was Yahusha concealed who was at the receiving end until that Psalm became a melody in our hearts to worship the Adon as Shaul says singing Pslams, hymns and spiritual songs making melody in your heart to the Adon.

Asaph 𐤀𐤎𐤐 H623 means collector/gatherer. The word sap 𐤎𐤐 /lip also means ‘gather’, it’s interesting to see when the ‘alaph’ is added to it, it shows a wonderful picture of a collector/gatherer. That which was fallen away was gathered/aspah in Mashiyach. The man Asaph who was the chief musician who collected the psalms written by Daud and other singers was in the office of Mashiyach in whom we sing and make melody in our hearts unto Yahuah. The melody is gathered in our hearts as we lift up the praises to Yahuah

Eph 5:19 speaking to each other in psalms and songs of praise and spiritual songs, singing and striking the strings in your heart to YAHUAH,

Eph 5:20 giving thanks always for all to Elohim the Father, in the Name of our Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 Messiah,

So just as Yahuah was in a transition to be manifest in a body prepared, until then the Levvim who were appointed were the gatherers to sing. Dawid aligned the divisions of these priests once the ark of the covenant came to rest. He made divisions of them as to who would be in the sacrificing positions, gatekeepers, musicians, ministers over grains and bread offerings etc. These melodies written would find the intended focus of worship i.e. Yahusha in the HEART.

Col 3:16 Let the word/dabar of the Mashiyach richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with pleasure in your hearts to Yahuah.

The booth/sukkah of Daud which was fallen down is raised up in Mashiyach

Acts 15:16 After these things I shall return, and I shall rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen, and I shall rebuild its ruins, and I shall restore it,

Acts 15:17 so that the rest of mankind may seek Yahuah, and all the Gentiles upon whom My name is called on them, said Yahuah, who does all these things

That which was balal sapah (confused lips/gathering) now is asaph/gathered in Mashiyach. Indeed the worship is in the Ruach and is not PHYSICAL MUSIC/MELODY where Yasharel in dispersion is profaning/diluting (chalal 𐤇𐤋𐤋) his set-apart name through a carnal form of worship in repetitive chorus, strumming to carnal tunes with carnal words, using His incorrect name & titles in a song, rock band etc. True form of worship is the word of Mashiyach richly dwelling within us and sharing that wisdom with one another.

The Temple worship lacked this and was in an outward form and so have the Christian & Hebrew circles picked up the flesh appeasement.

Command 4:

Ex20:8 Remember/zakar 𐤆𐤊𐤓 H2142 the Shabbat day, to keep it set-apart.

Ex20:9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

Ex20:11 For in six days Yahuah made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore, Yahuah blessed the Shabbat day and made it holy.

The Hebrew word 'zakar 𐤆𐤊𐤓 H2142 ' translated as 'Remember' is also the same word for 'Male' H2415 referring to Yahusha who is the Bright and Morning star, the Day star who rises in our hearts, the Sun of Righteousness who rises with healing in His wings. The 7th Day Rest is in him. Speaking of Joshua, the writer of Hebrews says If Joshua would have given them Rest, there wouldn't be another day spoken of rest. Hence, the Day Star Yahusha is that Day, He is the Male/zakar that we must remember and not look up to the sun, moon & stars calendars to determine the Day.

Heb4 :8 For if Yahushua (Joshua) had given them rest,
He would not have spoken about another day after that
Heb 4:9 Therefore, there remains a record or call/aud 𐤏𐤅𐤃 H5749 of Shabbat rest for the people of Elohim.

In the new creation order in New Yershalayim, the Lamb is the LIGHT and there is no night there and we shall see His face. He is the One who ushers us into the Day of Yahuah in a rest that we cannot get especially being in pagan lands.

The command came with who is to observe the literal Shabbath 'who is within your gates'

The Shabbat, feasts were tied to the Shemitah? The Shemitah of the land had the 7th day rest, 6 years sowing and 7th year rest for the land where everyone eats what grows of itself. Every 7 x 7 + 1 = 50 was year of jubilee announced during Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) and this was also a sequential Shabbath rest for the land as the 49th and 50th year no sowing and reaping and all lands sold in distress returned to their owners, slaves returned to their homes etc. All this can be read in Leviticus 25.

When Yahudah was carried into captivity here is what scripture records:

2Ch 36:20 And those who escaped from the sword he exiled to Baḇel, where they became servants to him and his sons until the reign of the reign of Persia,
2Ch 36:21 in order to fill the word of יהוה by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were completed.

It all ceased as the poor of the land who were left behind ate what grew of itself.

Hos 2:11 “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her festivals, her New moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to cease,

Psa 137:1 By the rivers of Baḇel, There we sat down and we wept As we remembered Tsiyon.
Psa 137:2 We hung our lyres Upon the willows in the midst of it.
Psa 137:3 For there our captors Asked us for the words of a song, And our plunderers for rejoicing, saying, “Sing to us a song of Tsiyon!”
Psa 137:4 How could we sing the song of יהוה On foreign soil?

How could we sing the song of Yahuah on foreign soil?

The Shemitah ceased. What does Yahuchanan say in Revelation?

Rev 18:23 “And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you any more at all. And the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you any more at all. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery all the nations were led astray.

Shaul likens the present Yerushalayim of his time as Hagar in bondage with her children and says we are born from Yerushalayim from above.

Gal 4:25 for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children.
Gal 4:26 But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.

If anyone is in Mashiyach Yahusha is a new creation, old things are passed away and behold all things become new. The new creation order is tied to New Yerushalayim not as the old covenant tied to the physical Shemitah.The physical day progressed to find the fulfilment in Mashiyach, the Day star, the Sun of righteousness, Bright and Morning Star as He is called. The very word Zakar the Shabbath day is Remembering Him with groaning to be clothed from above. Yahuah didn’t want us to be in His wrath for disobedience, so He drove our fathers away from the Shemitah which tied them to these laws which were hard to bear. There were so many laws that tied to it like a woman in her mensuration, or a discharge from male or female defiled them to not observe the physical day.

Yahuchanan saw Mashiyach among 7 lamp stands which shows the Shemitah is in Him. The sign of the sun, moon stars darkening is Yasharal in deep darkness who have gone back to the letter imitating Judaism and not understanding the dispersion. Please look up Yoseph s dream where he saw the sun, moon and 11 stars bowing down to him (he himself was the 12th star)

Has the command ceased? No as there remains a record or call of Shabbat rest for us. The literal command was made secondary as He made His people through dispersion beyond the reach of the enforcement of the commandment, and the Ruach in the command was made known (as the first) to see what we need to look at.

Heb 4:9 Therefore, there remains a record or call/aud 𐤏𐤅𐤃 H5749 of Shabbat rest for the people of Elohim.

Command 5:

Ex 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which Yahuah your El gives you.

Honor your father and mother that your days may be prolonged in the land is understood when the Psalmist says in Psalms 137:5-6

If I forget you, O Yerushalayim, let my right hand forget its skill. If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I prefer not Yerushalayim above my chief joy.

Shaul calls the Yerushalayim from above as 'mother of us all'.

Gal 4:26 But Yerushalayim which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Also, the command in Gen 2:24 " Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh" shows us Yahusha leaving His Fatherhood and Heavenly Yerushalayim and coming in the tent fashioned as us to cleave unto us because of His deep love for us, He expects us to respond to Him in the same love. This mystery Shaul the emissary speaks about in Eph 5:30-32 points to Mashiyach. The life-giving commandment is concealed in the letter and is made first. It's also noteworthy that in Yahuah's order in the first 5 commands its Yahuah who comes first, and then the rest. Only Yahuah can supersede His commands as He denied Himself to cling to us. Hence in response to that love, Yahusha says "Unless you love ME above your father, mother, wife, brother and sister more than Me does not deserve me.

Matt10:37 “the one loves his father, or his mother more than Me does not deserve Me, and the one loves his son, or his daughter more than Me does not deserve Me.”

Luke14:26 “If someone comes to Me and does not hate his father and his mother and his wife and his children and his brothers and his sisters, yes, and even his own life, he is not able to be My disciple.”

Rev 2:4 “But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”

Doesn't it clearly again show that Yahuah = Yahusha as the object of our love above all else is Yahusha?

Act 7:38 “This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the Messenger who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received the living/chayim Oracles/dabaryam to give to us,

Stephen testifies that the assembly in the wilderness received the LIVING ORACLES to give TO US. Not a historic document but living oracles. The Hebrew renders it as chayim dabaryam and means life giving words.
