Qarban

Mark 7:10 “For Moshe said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, is to be put to death’”;

Mark 7:11 “but you say, ‘If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Qarban (that is to say, given to Elohim),’”

Mark 7:12 “you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother”;

Mark 7:13 thus invalidating the word of the Elohim by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.

Yahusha quoted ‘Torah’’ from Ex 20:12; 21:17; Le 20:9; De 5:16; Pr 20:20 where it says that whosoever curseth his father and mother shall surely put to death. While the Pharisees and scribes taught the literal commandments from Torah they by their oral tradition made up their own laws adding to Torah that whatever gift a son desires to give to his father and mother but changes his mind on it saying it’s qarban he is free from his duty towards his father and mother for he is offering it to Alahym.

What is Qarban?

H7133 Qarban has 82 occurrences in the OT and means something brought near the altar, that is, a sacrificial present: - oblation that is offered, offering.

Qarban comes from the root word ‘qarab’ H7126, H7127 & H7138 which means ‘offer, come near, approach, be near’

Qarab:

The word ‘Qarab’ has the root words ‘qar’ which means ‘call’ and ‘rab’ which means ‘master’

Rab: Master

Gen 12:11 And it came to be, when he was come near/qarab H7126 to entering Mitsrayim, that he said to Sarai his wife, “See, I know that you are a fair woman to look at.

Ezr 6:10 so that they offer/qarab H7127 pleasing offerings to the Elah of heaven, and pray for the life of the sovereign and his sons.

Exo 12:4 ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to/qarab H7138 his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb.

The word ‘qarban’ root words ‘qar’ which means ‘call’ and ‘ban’ which means ‘son’. Put together it’s the call of the Son.

Qar:

Ban:

Lev 1:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When anyone of you brings an offering/qarban H7133 to יהוה, you bring your offering/qarban H7133 of the livestock, of the herd or of the flock.

The word ‘qarban’ is used 16 times in the Brit Chadashah/Renewed Testament.

Matt 8:4 And Yahusha said to him, See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present/qarabat the offering/qarban that Moshe commanded, as a testimony to them.

Matt 15:5 “But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, offering/qarban I have that would help you has been given to Elohim,’”

Matt 23:16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.’”

Matt 23:17 “You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?”

Matt 23:18 “And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering/qarban on it, he is obligated.’”

Matt 23:19 “You blind men, which is more important, the offering/qarban, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?”

Matt 23:20 “Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.”

Matt 23:21 “And whoever swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells within it.”

Speaking of the ‘qarban’ which draws one near to Aluahym Yahusha rebuked the so called Torah keepers of their oral tradition which states that whoever swears by the temple it’s ok to break the promise but whoever swears by the gold he is obliged to keep the promise, similarly whoever swears by the altar it’s ok to break the promise but whoever swears by the ‘qarban’ he is obligated to keep the promise. In his rebuke Yahusha tells them what is more important the temple or the gold in it, the altar or the qarban which sanctifies it?

It’s important to understand that in the Renewed Testament Yahusha is the temple, he is the altar, he is the sacrifice, everything in the temple finds it’s fulfillment in him. While Torah stood in the letter it’s important that we also see the ruach in the letter. While the literal command stood of honoring the father and the mother and whosoever curses his father or mother would be put to death, and that the ‘qarban’ to the father and mother should not be mixed with the ‘qarban’, we must see who the father and mother is spiritually.

Gen 2:23 And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one is called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of man.”

Gen 2:24 For this cause a man shall leave/azab H5800 his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Azab: Leave/neglect/forsake/refuse

Eph 5:30 Because we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.

Eph 5:31 “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

Eph 5:32 This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Messiah and the assembly.

Speaking of the mystery of leaving his father and mother and be joined to his wife as one flesh Shaul says he is speaking concerning Mashiyach and the assembly who are of his flesh and of his bones. This shows that Mashiyach left/forsook/neglected his fatherhood and mother Yerushalam to be one flesh with us his wife/ashah. The only ‘qarban’ which is two way i.e. an offering for us and an offering to enjoin us to the AhB/father and the Am/mother. Did Yahusha break Torah? No he fulfilled it because being in the flesh he was mindful of being obedient to his Father being enjoined to his wife at the same time.

This is what he replied when his earthly mother and father told him

Luke 2:48 When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, Son, why have You treated us this way? Behold, Your father and I have sought you with the sorrow in heart.

Luke 2:49 And He said to them, “Why is it that you sought for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s business?”

John 6:38 “For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”

John 6:39 “This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.”

He is the perfect ‘qarban’ who laid down his life for us and through him enjoins us to the father and mother making us a ‘qarban’ in him.

The word for wife is ‘’ashah’’ which also means ‘an offering made by fire’

Ashah: wife/offering made by fire

Ash/Aysh means fire and Aysh means ‘man/husband’

The ‘ashah’ was taken from the ‘aysh/man’ and was of his bones and of his flesh. She becomes one in his offering/qarban to the father in fulfilling perfect obedience by honoring the father and mother and also is an offering/qarban set apart for us in calling us to enjoin with him. We learnt the word ‘qarban’ has the root words ‘qar/call ban/son’. The Son is calling us to enjoin with him to be an offering to the Father Aluahym and Mother Yerushalam.

Heb 10:10 By this will we have been sanctified through the coming near/qarabath offering/qarban of the body of Yahusha the Mashiyach once for all

Heb_10:10 וברצון הזה מקדשים אנחנו על־ידי הקרבת קרבן גופו של־ישוע המשיח בפעם אחת׃

They did not translate the word ‘qarban’ here in the scripture above but in the Abary we see the words ‘qarabath qarban’ which show the two way offering of Mashiyach in fulfilling Torah.

The call of the master/qarab to his daughters/bath to measure up/bath (an OT measure equivalent to ephah) to the call of the Son/qarban

Eph 5:2 and walk in love, just as the Mashiyach also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering/qarban and a sacrifice to Elohim as a fragrant aroma.

Rom 12:1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of Elohim, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice/qarban, acceptable to Elohim, which is your reasonable worship.

Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I shall make with them after those days, says Yahuah: I shall put My laws upon their heart, and on their mind I shall write them,

Heb 10:17 And their sins and their iniquities I shall remember no more.

Heb 10:18 Now where there is forgiveness of sins, there is no more offering/qarban for sin.

Heb 10:19 Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence into the entrance of the holy place by the blood of Yahusha,

Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,

Speaking of the end of the physical sacrifices for sin offering Shaul in Heb 10:16-20 quotes OT prophecy where Yahuah says he will make a renewed covenant with the house of Yasharal and of Yahudah and that he would put his laws upon their hearts and minds by writing them and will remember their sins no more and NOW when there is forgiveness of sins there is no more qarban for sin because the perfect qarban through the VEIL OF HIS FLESH has given us an entrance into the Most Set apart by his blood by a new and living way. HalalUYah.

While the literal commandment stood in shadows and types we see our Master after healing the sick, the leper etc told them to go and make the ‘qarban’ as a repeat witness/aduth to them

Matt 8:3 Yahusha stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, I am able; be cleansed. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Matt 8:4 And Yahusha said to him, See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the alaph tau qarban/offering that Moshe commanded, as a testimony/aduth to them.

Thus we see one of the ten commandments ‘Honor your father and your mother that your days maybe prolonged in the land Yahuah your Aluahym is giving you Ex 20:12’ is fulfilled by Mashiyach and has a deep spiritual meaning in the literal commandment.
