Maquah


Jer 17:13 O Yahuah, the expectation/maquah H4723 of Yisrael, all who forsake You shall be put to shame. those who turn away on earth shall be written down, because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even Yahuah.

Maquah H4723 means a gathering/collection of water. It comes from the root word H6960 ‘quah’ which means to ‘to wait or eagerly for’
Mem in paleography is a picture of waters and the picture is of a ‘spiritual cleansing’ in the waters. The first time the words ‘quah’ and ‘maquah’ are used is in Gen 1:9,10

Yahuah first divided the waters from the waters and then gathered the waters below the expanse in one place

Gen 1:7 And Elohim made the expanse and separated between the waters which were below the expanse and between the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
Gen 1:9 Then Elohim said, Let the waters below the heavens be gathered/quah H6960 into one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so.
Gen1:10 And Elohim called the dry land earth, and the gathering/maquah H4723 of the waters He called seas; and Elohim saw that it was good.




The Torah came with instructions stating any dead swarming/creeping things which fall into earthen vessel, clothing, skins or sack shall be unclean, including anyone touching the dead carcass but the spring or a cistern collecting/maquah water shall be clean.


Lev 11:36 But a spring or a cistern collecting/maquah H4723 water shall be clean, though the one who touches their carcass shall be unclean.

The Yahudites call this ritual cleansing in fresh spring water as ‘miqveh’. The Pool of Siloam בריכת השילוח, Breikhat Hashiloah was a rock-cut pool on the southern slope of the City of Daud, the original site of Yerushalayim, located outside the walls of the Old City to the southeast. The pool was fed by the waters of the Gihon Spring, carried there by two aqueducts.

The Pool of Siloam was first built during the reign of Hezekiah (715–687/6 BCE), to provide a water supply inside the City to protect it from a siege. The pool was fed by the newly constructed Siloam tunnel. Prior to this, the Gihon Spring had emptied in a large open basin at its source, before being conveyed to the City by an aqueduct. This basin is sometimes known as the Upper Pool (2 Kings 18:17Isaiah 7:3).

2Ki 18:17 Then the king of Assyria sent the commander and the chief of the eunuchs and the chief of the cupbearer from Laksh to King ChizeqiYahu with a large army to Yerushalam. So, they went up and came to Yerushalam. And when they went up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the fuller’s field.

Isa7:3 Then Yahuah said to YeshaYahu, go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the fuller’s field,

This aqueduct was very vulnerable to attackers, so, under threat from the Assyrian king Sennacherib, Hezekiah sealed up the old outlet of the Gihon Spring and the Upper Pool, and built the underground Siloam tunnel in place of the aqueduct (2 Chronicles 32:2-4).

2Chr 32:2 And ChizeqiYahu saw that Sanacherib had come and his face was set to battle on Yerushalam,
2Chr 32:3 and he took counsel with his leaders and his warriors to stop the water of the springs which were outside the city, and they helped him.
2Chr 32:4 And many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream which flowed through the midst of the land, saying, why should the kings of Ashshur come and find abundant water?

 During this period the Pool of Siloam was therefore sometimes known as the Lower Pool (Isaiah 22:9).

Isa 22:9 And you saw that the breaches of the city of David were many; and you collected the waters of the lower pool.

 It seems likely that during the Governorship of Nehemiah (from 445 BCE), the pool was also known as the King's Pool (Nehemiah 2:14)

Neh2:14 Then I passed on to the gate of the fountain and to the king’s pool, but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

According to the basarah of Yahuchanan, Yahusha sent "a man blind from birth" in order to complete his healing. As a freshwater reservoir, the pool would have been a major gathering place for Yahudites making religious pilgrimages to the city. Some scholars, influenced by Yahusha commanding the blind man to wash in the pool, suggest that it was probably used as a mikvah (ritual bath).

Joh 5:1 After this there was a festival of the Yehuḏim, and יהושע went up to Yerushalayim.
Joh 5:2 And in Yerushalayim at the Sheep Gate there is a pool, which is called in Heḇrew, Bĕyth Chasda (house of mercy), having five porches.
Joh 5:3 In these were lying a great number of those who were sick, blind, crippled, paralysed, waiting for the stirring of the water.
Joh 5:4 For a messenger was going down at a certain time into the pool and was stirring the water. Whoever stepped in first, then, after the stirring of the water, became well of whatever disease he had.

There was a pool in Beyth Chasda H2617 (בית חסד/חסדא), meaning either house of mercy or house of grace. In Hebrew the word could also mean "shame, disgrace" (H2616 as used in Proverbs 25:10) . This dual meaning may have been thought appropriate, since the location was seen as a place of disgrace due to the presence of invalids, and as a place of grace due to the washing of the sacrificial sheeps pointing to Yahusha the Lamb. Like the pool of Shiloach this pool of Beyth Chasda also was constructed in the eighth century BC during the reign of King Hezekiah, and an upper pool in the area of Beyth Chasda is the one mentioned in the 2 Kings 18:17; Isaiah 36:2. These were a pair of pools (pool of Shiloach and Beyth Chasda), an upper and a lower division of one large pool except that the pool of Shiloach was fed by the Gihon Spring while the water supply at Beyth Chasda was provided by rain. This pool of Beyth Chasda system may have been constructed in order to collect water for the washing of the sacrificial sheep as Yahuchanan mentions Sheep and Nehemiah mentions the rebuilding of the Sheep Gate. The Gate in John 9 was added by the translators to make sense because Nehemiah records of the Sheep Gate being repaired/rebuilt. The association with the washing of the sacrificial sheep could also be the origin of the sheep pool references.

Neh 3:1 And Elyashiḇ the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests and built the Sheep Gate. They set it apart and set up its doors, even as far as the Tower of Ḥanan’ĕl they set it apart, as far as the Tower of Hanane’ĕl. 

Nehemiah doesn't record of this pool of Beyth Chasda but it surely would have been there as Yahuchanan/John records it

Joh 5:2 And in Yerushalayim at the Sheep Gate there is a pool, which is called in Heḇrew, Bĕyth Chasda, having five porches.

John 5:4 is a disputed verse as many translations like NIV, ESV, RSV etc. omit this verse because they state the oldest Greek manuscripts don't have this verse and also that the angel coming to stir the water was a superstition.  Most of these translations rely on the Wescot-Hort translation where many verses in the NT were removed. Also this verse is missing in the Old Syriac Curetonian Gospels in Aramaic dated to the 4th century AD. But the Khabouris codex which is the handwritten oldest copy of the Aramaic version dated 165 AD is the oldest manuscript of the NT includes this verse. 

The pen of the scribes deleted this verse and put it in the column because of the superstition of an angel coming and stirring the water. There is no OT reference mentioning of any such miraculous healing water. The stirring would have been a superstition as the water would have bubbled when the stream flowed into the pool which the sick lying there who were blind, crippled, paralyzed (John 5:3) held on to the belief that and angel came and stirred the water and that the first one entering would be healed. There is no evidence of anyone who was ever healed in that pool. But nevertheless the verses exists but needs to be looked closely as to why out of hundreds lying there only one would be healed in a certain season?

The man crippled for 38 years came there with hope of being healed and when Yahusha asked him whether he wants to be healed he only stated his facts based on his belief of what he must have heard of the water being stirred by an angel.

Joh 5:7 The sick man answered Him, “Master, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred, but while I am coming, other steps down before me.” 

This pool of Beyth Chasda was not like the Pool of Shiloach because the Pool of Shiloach was fed by the spring water of Gihon and Beyth Chasda was fed by the rain water harvested. None of these waters had any healing power and there is no record of anyone being healed by these waters, these pools stood pointing symbolically to the river of life flowing from the throne of Yahusha in New Yerushalayim. The power to heal was in Yahusha who asked the blind man to wash/rachats in the Pool of Shiloach and he came back seeing and the man 38 years paralyzed was healed without entering into the pool of Beyth Chasda. The superstition of Beyth Chasda was running water/living water/chay would have been because these waters as Pool of Shiloach were used to wash oneself and sheep who came to the temple to worship which fleshly people looked to the physical benefits while the waters stood for a spiritual cleansing, and hence Yahusha's healing had a deep spiritual meaning.

Joh 7:2 And the festival of the Yehuḏim was near, the Festival of Booths/Sukkot. 

John 7:37 Now on the last day, the great day of the Feast, Yahusha stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.”
John 7:38 “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.’”
John 7:39 But this He spoke of the Ruach, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Ruach was not yet given, because Yahusha was not yet glorified. 
The Torah portions also speak of the cleansing in running water of those who were unclean


Lev 14: 4  then the priest shall command, and he shall take for him (LEPER) who is to be cleansed two live and clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
 5  “And the priest shall command, and he shall slay one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
 6  “Let him take the live bird and the cedar wood and the shaniy/scarlet H8144 talah/crimson H8438 and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was slain over the running water.
 7  “And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the live bird loose in the open field.
Num 19:16  ‘Anyone in the open field who touches someone slain by a sword or who has died, or a bone of a man, or a grave, is unclean for seven days.
Num 19:17 ‘And for the unclean being they shall take some of the ashes of the heifer burnt for cleansing from sin and running water shall be put on them in a vessel.

The mikveh became a ritual cleansing for the unclean, the leper, those diseased which the book of Hebrews calls as divers washings
Heb 9:8  the Set-apart Spirit signifying this, that the way into the Most Set-apart Place was not yet made manifest while the first Tent has a standing,
Heb 9:9  which was a parable for the present time in which both gifts and slaughters are offered which are unable to perfect the one serving, as to his conscience,
Heb 9:10 only as to foods and drinks, and different washings, and fleshly regulations imposed until a time of setting matters straight.

Col 1:5 because of the expectation/quah that is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,

Pro 13:14  The Torah of the wise is a fountain/maqor of life/chay, Turning one away from the snares of death.

We read in YarmeYahu 17:13 Yahuah is the expectation/maquah of Yisrael, the maqor chay (fountain of life). He is found in the Torah of life, his wisdom is concealed in the Torah of wisdom and is the maqor chay.

Jer 17:13  O יהוה, the expectation of Yisra’ĕl, all who forsake You are put to shame. “Those who depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken יהוה, the fountain/maqor of living/chay waters.

Hence, Yahusha calling the thirsty to come to Him and drink shows he is the fountain of life i.e. the maqor chay and those who believe in him out of his innermost being will flow rivers of mayim Chayim (waters of life)

Joh 7:2 And the festival of the Yehuḏim was near, the Festival of Booths/Sukkot. 

John 7:37 Now on the last day, the great day of the Feast, Yahusha stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.”
John 7:38 “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.’”
John 7:39 But this He spoke of the Ruach, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Ruach was not yet given, because Yahusha was not yet glorified. 

He is Yahuah manifested in the flesh, the fountain of life, the expectation/maquah of Yisrael. The various washings in running water, the spring water which cleansed the unclean finds its completion in him. He is our miqveh, he went into the waters and came out representing the expectation that we have in him as the Ruach ha Qodesh descended upon him in the form of a dove.

Psa 36:9 For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.

1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, who according to His great compassion has caused us to be born again to a living expectation/quah through the resurrection of יהושע Messiah from the dead,

1Jn 3:2  Beloved ones, now we are children of Elohim. And it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
1Jn 3:3  And everyone having this expectation/quah in Him cleanses himself, as He is clean.

In Gen 1:10 when Yahuah gathered the waters together and the dry ground to appear he gathered all his elect in being cleansed in himself separating them from the yabash H3004 erets/earth H776 ‘yabash’ means dry and is from the root word H3001 which means shame/confusion/disappointment

The another tongue-Part 1

When we read 1 Corin 14 we tend to get very confused in understanding what this unknown tongue that the emissary is speaking about. The word 'unknown' is in Italics and was added by the translators just as the Aramaic Peshitta translation adds the word 'spiritual' before the word 'Lashana' (Aramaic word for language). The Hebrew word for tongue/langauge is 'lashun'). The translators probably used the word unknown as in YashaYahu 28:11 the word 'achar' is used before the word lashun/language which means 'strange/another/tarry'

1Cor 14:2 For one who speaks in a tongue/ (Hebrew: lashun, Greek: glossa, Aramaic: lashana) does not speak to men but to Elohim, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

The confusion is cleared when we read Shaul quoting YashaYahu 28:11 in comparison with the subject in hand. He quotes the verse in 1Corin 14:21

1Co 14:20  Brothers, do not be children in your thinking, but in evil be babes, and in your thinking be perfect.
1Co 14:21  In the Torah it has been written, “With men of mocking lips and another language I shall speak to this people. And even so, they shall not hear Me, says יהוה.” (Revised translation)

Let's list the verse: YashaYahu 28:11 and see the meaning of the words in the verse in the context of the prophecy

Isa 28:9  Whom would He teach knowledge? And whom would He make to understand the message? Those weaned from milk, those taken from the breasts! 
Isa 28:10  For it is: command upon command, command upon command, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.
Isa 28:11  For with a לָעֵג/laag H3934 סָפָה/sapah H8193 and a אַחֵר/achar H312  לָשׁוֹן/lashun H3956 He speaks to this people, 
Isa 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

The Hebrew word laag/לָעֵג H3934 is the same word H3932 which means 'to deride; by implication (as if imitating a foreigner) to speak unintelligibly: - have in derision, laugh (to scorn), mock (on), stammering'

The Hebrew word sapah/סָפָה H8193 is the same word without vowel points H5595 and means 'properly to scrape (literally to shave; but usually figuratively) together (that is, to accumulate or increase) or away (that is, to scatter, remove or ruin; intransitively to perish): - add, augment, consume, destroy, heap, join, perish, put' The word also means 'lip/shore/edge/brim/border/speak/talk/words/scatter/ruin/perish'


'laag sapah' would mean 'mocking lip/imitating talk/stammering words/scorning heap etc ' and its usage is in the negative sense. Hence, Yahuah says In YashaYahu 28:11 'For with mocking lip and another or strange/achar language He speaks to this people, To whom he said, this is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear'

We also need to see the audience to whom the basharah/gospel came to on the Day of Shavout/Pentecost. They were the scattered of Yisrael who came from the nations as per Torah where they had to present themselves three times a year before Yahuah not without a sacrifice. They all heard the Gentile Galileans speaking in their own native language. Hence, those speaking were Gentiles and the audience were also Gentiles of the nations. These Gentiles were not pagan Gentiles but of the sheep of Yisrael who were scattered to the ends of the world from where they came up to Yerushalayim to offer a sacrifice (as long as the heykal/temple was standing, they (the men) came up atleast 3 times a year as per Torah).

Act 2:5 And there were dwelling at Yerushalayim Yahudiym, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
Act 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
Act 2:7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galiyliym?
Act 2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
Act 2:9 Parthians, and Madai, and Eylamiym, and the dwellers in Aram Naharayim, and in Yahud, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
Act 2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Mitsrayim, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Yahudiym and proselytes,
Act 2:11 Cretes and Araviym, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of YAH.
Act 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What does this mean?
Act 2:13 Others mocking/laagu said, These men are full of new wine.

If we see YashaYahu 28:11 in context the ones who rejected the basarah which came to them were the audience who heard the wonderful works of Yahuah in another/achar language/lashun and to them it was like mocking/laagu as they said ''These men are full of new wine''

Mat 4:13  And leaving Natsareth, He came and dwelt in Kephar Naḥum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zeḇulun and Naphtali,
Mat 4:14  to fill what was spoken by Yeshayahu the prophet, saying,
Mat 4:15  “Land of Zeḇulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Yardĕn, Galil of the Gentiles – 
Mat 4:16  the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and upon those who sat in the land and shadow of death, light arose to them.

Shaul in his letter to the Corinthian assembly says that this lashun/language was a sign to the unbelieving and not to the believing.

1Cor 14:22 So then tongues/lashonoth are for a sign/aut, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy/nabuah is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe.

The word 'aut' ( alaph uau tau) was a sign pointing to the alaph tau which is the mark of transitioning the unbelieving into believing. The translators added 'is for a sign' in Italics, in 1Cor 14:22 to make sense in English, but nabuah/prophecy is not a sign but the completion of the transition from a mocking lip/strange lip to the Ruach language in Mashiyach. Hence, we see the emissary Shaul upholding nabuah/prophecy above the gift of lashonoth/languages. Many people think by learning the Hebrew language they have attained something, if that was the case all of Yisrael would be saved for it is their mother tongue. They all stumbled because they can never understand the ruach in the language and hence even though the basarah was preached to them in their native tongue they rejected it for it was not mixed with belief.

Heb 4:2  For indeed the Good News/Basarah was brought to us as well as to them, but the word which they heard did not profit them, not having been mixed with belief in those who heard it.

Speaking to the Hebrew audience the emissary says that the basarah was brought to us (referring to those who believed from the Yahudites) as well as to them (referring to those who did not believe from the Yahudites), he goes on to say about the unbelieving audience stating that those who heard the word, it did not profit them because it was not mixed with belief to them. i.e., they lacked the Ruach understanding of the letters/words spoken to them.

We need to distinguish between the Hebrew speaking audience to whom the letter of Hebrew was written and the Galilean Gentiles and Gentiles who were scattered to other nations who spoke and heard the basarah in their native tongues. These Gentile Galileans and Gentiles of other nations were the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael.

The dispersion of confusing the languages happened when men began to build a tower to make a name for themselves. They would have spoken Hebrew for sure because they were a seed from the sons of  Noach. Yahuah dispersed them to the ends of the earth and they became the gentiles of the nations (pagans)

Gen 11:1 AND the whole earth was of one lip/sapah, and of one speech/dabar.
Gen 11:2  And it came to be, as they set out from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinʽar, and they dwelt there.
Gen 11:3  And they said to each other, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
Gen 11:4  And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over all the face of the earth.”
Gen 11:5  Then יהוה came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
Gen 11:6  And יהוה said, “Look, they are one people and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do! And now, they are not going to be withheld from doing whatever they plan to do.
Gen 11:7  “Come, let Us go there and confuse their language, so that they do not understand one another’s speech.”
Gen 11:8  And יהוה scattered them from there, over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
Gen 11:9  That is why its name was called Baḇel, because there יהוה confused the language of all the earth, and from there יהוה scattered them over the face of all the earth.

Gen 10:1  And this is the genealogy of the sons of Noaḥ: Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yepheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.
Gen 10:2  The sons of Yepheth: Gomer, and Maḡoḡ, and Maḏai, and Yawan, and Tuḇal, and Mesheḵ, and Tiras.
Gen 10:3  And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Toḡarmah.
Gen 10:4  And the sons of Yawan: Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim and Doḏanim.
Gen 10:5  From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their clans, into their nations. 

Yahuah distinguished his people from these pagans until a time when he scattered all of them into these nations. He sent Yisrael out with a certificate of divorce for all the harlotry they did and inspite of his warnings they didn't turn from their wicked ways, hence, he got them carried away into captivity by the king of Ashshur.  I covered this in detail in my note study 'The parable of the Good Shomeri/Samaritan' and videos 'Sprinkling of the ashes of the Red Heifer' which is on Facebook. Very few were resettled back by Esharhaddon's son Osnapper back into the places where they were carried captive from and these were called the Gentile Galileans. Most part of Yisrael still remains scattered in the pagan nations for thousands of years, Yahusha came for the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael to gather them from these nations to where they were scattered. The first lot coming into the fold we already saw was on the day of Shavout when they came up to Yerushalayim during the pilgrim festival as commanded by Yahuah in the Torah.

Hence, we see the fulfillment of the mocking/laag lip/sapah as not all those from these were Yisrael but a remnant who heard the wonderful works of Aluahym and turned to him, while the rest mocked/laag and said they are full of wine.

Shaul was chosen as an emissary to go out to the Gentiles to gather the outcasts of Yisrael now called as Gentiles of the nations. Hence, he says that he thanks Aluahym that he speaks in languages more than all those in the Corinthian assembly but in the assembly he chooses to speak five words with his understanding. The number five referring to the Torah of life than ten thousand words in a language, referring to the complete language with infinity words which don't have the ruach understanding in them.

1Co 14:18  I thank my Elohim I speak with tongues more than you all,
1Co 14:19  but in an assembly I wish to speak five words with my understanding that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 

Hence, he who speaks in a language though he claims to speak in mysteries would be speaking to Aluahym as the audience. This would be absurd to take it positively. How can one speak to Aluahym in a language he himself doesn't understand and which was an owth/sign to the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael to bring them back into the fold, into the Ruach understanding of nabuath/prophesying

1Cor 14:2 For one who speaks in a language does not speak to men but to Elohim; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries

Shaul's above statement is the most misunderstood among Churchanity, especially among those who defend the jabbering tongue among Pentecostals and they take it positively. They ignore verse 1 in which Shaul says Pursue love, and earnestly seek the spiritual gifts, but rather that you prophesy/nabau. 

Nabauth/Prophesying was greater than the gift of languages for prophesying would bring reproof, edification, repentance to the unlearned in the ruach understanding.

1Co 14:23  If then all the assembly comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned or unbelievers, shall they not say that you are mad?
1Co 14:24  But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever/machasur emunah or an unlearned/haydut one comes in, he is reproved by all, he is discerned by all.
1Co 14:25  And so the secrets of his heart are revealed. And so, falling down on his face, he shall worship Elohim, declaring that Elohim is truly among you.

But didn't we read that lashonoth/langauges were a sign for the unbelieving of Yisrael and nabauth/prophesying was for the believing (not a sign though) ?

1Co 14:22  So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers, and prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.

So why is Shaul now saying that when an unbeliever or an unlearned one comes in and hears nabauth/prophesying he is reproved, edified and would bring repentance? Is there a contradiction?

1Co 14:26  What then is it, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all be done for upbuilding. 
1Co 14:27  If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 
1Co 14:28  And if there is no interpreter, let him be silent in an assembly, and let him speak to himself and to Elohim. 

The word translated as unbeliever is the word machasar emunah where machasar H4270 means 'deficient/lacking/poor/poverty/want' and emunah means belief. Hence, machasar emunah is one deficient/lacking of belief. The context defines the usage of the words. The machasaray emunah in 1 Corin 14:22 are the ones outside the camp, those who are deficient of belief in Mashiyach whereas the machasar (singular) emunah or hadyut/unlearned is the one of the congregation who lacks the ruach understanding.

1Co 14:22  So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe/ma’amiyniym but to unbelievers/machasurey ‘emunah, and prophesying is not for unbelievers/machasurey ‘emunah but for those who believe/ma’amiyniym.

1Cor 14:24 But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever/machasur ‘emunah or an idiot/hadyut man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;

מַחְסוֹר machusar H4270 From H2637; deficiency; hence impoverishment: - lack, need, penury, poor, poverty, want.

הדיוט hadyut from where we get our English word 'idiot' is someone who is ignorant/not skilled/void of knowledge

Hence, there is no contradiction in what Shaul is saying when he says that languages are for a sign to unbelievers as these machasurey (plural) emunah (belief) i.e., void/deficient of belief are not Messianics (1 Corn 14:22) but the machasur (singular) emunah (belief) in 1Corin 14:24 are Messianics who are haydut/ignorant or unlearned or idiots in the Torah of life. Notice that Shaul the emissary gives the reader an understanding by defining the 'machasur emunah' in 1 Corin 14:24 as 'hadyut', the Greek uses the word G2399 'idiotes' where the word 'idiot' in English is used abusively these days which actually means 'unlearned'. 

unbeliever/machasur ‘emunah OR (Hebrew: au, Armaic: an, Greek: e) an idiot/hadyut

The priests and the Sadducees looked down on Kepha and Yahuchanan as being hadyut of the Torah who had performed a miracle on the lame man who was lame by birth.

Act 4:13  And seeing the boldness of Kĕpha and Yoḥanan, and perceiving that they were unlearned/hadyut and ordinary men, they marvelled. And they recognised that they had been with יהושע (Yahusha).

There was a problem in the Corinthian assembly, they were speaking the achar/another or strange lashun/language which was a sign/owth for the machasurey emunah (the deficient believer outside the camp) inside the assembly instead of nabuath/prophesying, which was for those within, hence, the assembly was not edified. With the order of keeping silent if there is no interpreter those speaking the pagan jabbering would eventually cease while the true gift of the Ruach would still remain alive as long as the sign existed.

Hence, to keep the true gift alive Shaul says

1Co 14:39  So, then, brothers, earnestly seek to prophesy/nabua, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.

The sign ceased to them when the transition happened i.e. those of the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael came back to their Abary roots now understanding the Ruach language which is concealed to those outside the camp. The question remains, does the sign still remain for those outside the camp? There can't be because the sign transitioned into the ruach of nabua which Shaul urged the Corinthian assembly to uphold.

Rev 19:10  And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “See, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who possess the witness of יהושע. Worship Elohim! For the witness of יהושע is the spirit of prophecy/ruach ha nabuah.” 

We don't go by our senses but by the dabar of Yahuah. The witness of Yahusha now goes as the ruach ha nabuah to both the machasurey emunah (deficient believer of lost sheep of the house of Yisrael) outside the fold as well as within the fold of Yisrael. Every sign/owth points to the alaph tau which is the destination, the completeness in Mashiyach. The Ruach ha Nabuah was never a sign, it existed right from creation and will be in a continuity until Mashiyach comes, when we will be face to face with him. The signs/owth which were the outward form were allowed for a period and held within the sign a spiritual significance which finds its completion in Mashiyach Yahusha who is the life giving Ruach (1 Corin 15:45).

1Co 15:45 And so it has been written, “The first man Aḏam became a living being,” the last Aḏam a life-giving Spirit.

Hos 7:11  “And Ephrayim has become a simple dove without heart, they have called on Mitsrayim, they have gone to Ashshur. 
Hos 7:12  “When they go I spread My net over them, I bring them down like the birds of the heavens, I chastise them as their congregation has heard.
Hos 7:13  “Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, because they have transgressed against Me! And I Myself have ransomed them, yet they have spoken falsehoods against Me,
Hos 7:14  and did not cry out to Me with their heart when they wailed upon their beds. For grain and new wine they assemble themselves; they turn away from Me.
Hos 7:15  “And I instructed, I strengthened their arms, but they plot evil against Me.
Hos 7:16  “They return, but not to the Most High. They have been like a slack bow. Their rulers fall by the sword for the cursings of their tongue/lashun H3956. This is their mocking/laag H3933 in the land of Mitsrayim. 

Speaking of Ephrayim who represents Yisrael in dispersion/captivity Yahuah says their rulers fall by the sword for the cursings of their tongue. This is their mocking in the land of Mitsrayim. Mitsrayim is spiritually and figuratively standing for carnal Yerushalayim.

Rev 11:8 and their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Seḏom and Mitsrayim, where also our Master was impaled,

The gift of languages was given as a sign to unbelieving Yisrael in dispersion through which Yahuah brought his elect back to the Abary roots, into the ruach understanding concealed in the Abary language while the rest just mocked/laag and stood outside in carnal Yahudism, even in dispersion. Those who crossed over understand perfectly their transition into the ruach ha nabua (spirit of prophecy) and they love not their lives unto death i.e. the death of Mashiyach.

Everything done has to be for the edification/building (Hebrew: bunah) of others and not edification/building of self.

1Co 14:3 But he who is prophesying speaks to sons/banay of men/adam upbuilding/banutham and encouragement and comfort. 
1Co 14:4 He who is speaking in a tongue builds up alaph tau himself, but he who is prophesying builds up the assembly. 

The message was clear ''Let all be done for upbuilding/bunah.'' for he who edifies his brethren fulfills the royal law of Loving his neighbour as himself. He is not self-centered.

Some facts of the sign of languages which in a spiritual comparison is seen as a fulfillment:

We saw the emissary Shaul saying in 1 Corin 14:19 that in the assembly he would rather speak five words with understanding, the number five referring to the Torah of life than ten thousand words in a language, referring to the complete language with infinity words which don't have the ruach understanding in them.

It was the 50th day from the firstfruits i.e. the resurrection of Yahusha ha Mashiyach and they were tarrying 10 days from the day he was taken up into heaven in a cloud for the Master had asked them to tarry until they be endued with power from on high.

Act 1:3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of YAHUAH:

Luk 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
Luk 24:49 And, behold, I send את eth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Yerushalayim, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Luk 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
Luk 24:51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Luk 24:52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Yerushalayim with great joy:
Luk 24:53 And were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing YAH. Aman.

This was a significant event as the Ten Commandments were given to Masha in the third month which marks as a memorial of the feast of Shavout, a counting of 50 days from the time the first sheaf is brought in. The number fifty is 5 x 10 where the number 5 represents the 5 books of Torah x 10 i.e., its completeness, the very 5 words the emissary said that he would rather speak in the assembly than ten thousand words in a language.

Exo 19:1 IN the third month, when the children of Yashar’el were gone forth out of the land of Mitsrayim, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
Exo 19:2 For they were departed from Rephiydiym, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Yashar’el camped before the Mount.
Exo 19:3 And Mosheh went up unto ELOHIYM, and YAHUAH called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shall you say to the house of Ya`aqov, and tell the children of Yashar’el;

Exo 20:18 And all the people saw/raah את eth-the thunderings/qol H6963, and את eth-the lightnings, and את eth-the noise of the shofar, and את eth-the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
Exo 20:19 And they said unto Mosheh, Speak with us, and we will hear: but let not ELOHIYM speak with us, lest we die.
Exo 20:20 And Mosheh said unto the people, Fear not: for ELOHIYM is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
Exo 20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Mosheh drew near unto the thick darkness where ELOHIYM was.

What is interesting to see is the word H6963 'qol' which is translated as 'thundering' instead of voice. The translators translated it as thundering to make sense here because of the previous word 'raah' which means 'to see/saw'. One can hear a voice not see it and hence they translated it as 'thundering' But they failed to note that only lightning can be seen and thundering can only be heard. Hence, the word 'qol' H6963 should be correctly translated as 'voice' because the verse is synonymous in letting us know that the people saw and stood far off and told Masha that he should speak with them but let not Aluahym speak with us lest we die.

Acts 2:2 And there came a noise/qol raash from heaven suddenly like a voice/qol rushing wind/ruach, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  

The voice came as a gift to them as they spoke the wonderful works of Yahuah in another language as the Ruach gave them the ability. Just as the children of Yisrael heard the voice at Sinai.

Exo 20:18 should correctly read And all the people perceived the alpah tau voices/qolot, and the alaph tau torches/lappidym, and the alaph tau voice/qol of the ram’s horn/shophar, and the alaph tau mountain/ har smoke/ashan. And the people saw, and they moved, and stood far off.

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

Deu 5:22 את eth-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 sapphire stones, and delivered them unto me.
Deu 5:23 And it came to pass, when ye heard את eth-the voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye 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 את eth-his glory and את eth-his greatness, and we have heard את eth-his voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that ELOHIYM talks את eth-with man, and he lives.
Deu 5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear את eth-the voice of YAHUAH ELOHAYNU anymore, then we shall die.

Exodus 20:18 uses the word 'qolot' which is the plural of 'qol' and means voices. 


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! 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 His Torah into them, His Ruach used a speaking method that cannot be explained but HE demonstrated His own power to every single person there! 




The Talmud, Shevuot 20b, records their reference to this unique speaking ability of the Most High. The rabbis believed, due to these precise evidences from the text, that He spoke one magnificent utterance at Sinai on Shavuot, yet more than one utterance was heard by the people. He conveyed more information than was naturally possible by using a miraculous form of speech. The general view of this event in Yahudism is that He actually gave all ten of the commandments in just one miraculous utterance, and the reference to this dual speech is not to be limited to just these two words! Again, the Talmud, in Shevuot 20b, preserves the fact that this detail was known and taught in ancient Yahudism.

Hence this is why probably Shaul the emissary was letting the Corinthian assembly know that when the gift was poured out to the talmidyim on Shavout they spoke in more than one utterance as the Ruach gave them the ability to speak in the magnificent voices i.e., multiple languages in one go with the ruach ha nabua concealed in it. Hence the audience should be men and not Aluahym even though he claims he speaks mysteries.

1Co 14:2  For he who is speaking in a tongue does not speak to men but to Elohim, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks secrets. 

Psa 62:11 ELOHIYM has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto ELOHIYM.

Job 33:14 For EL speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.

The ruach ha nabua was concealed in what was spoken in one go in a magnificent/gadul voice/qol as stated in Deuteronomy 5 and 'voices/qolot' as stated in Exodus 20. Hence those who heard and were able to perceive transitioned into the ruach ha nabua of the witness of Yahusha ha Mashiyach. The second witness concealed in the scripture which Yahusha spoke about of the Ahba which gave witness of Him in the scriptures.

Heb 12:18 For ye are not come unto the Mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
Heb 12:19 And the sound of a shofar, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them anymore:
Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure את eth that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
Heb 12:21 And so terrible was the sight, that Mosheh said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) (Shemoth 19:18)
Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto Mount Tsiyon, and unto the city of the living YAH, the heavenly El-Yerushalayim, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the general and called out assembly of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to YAHUAH the Judge of all, and to the ruachoth (spirits) of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to YAHUSHA the mediator of the Renewed Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of H’avel.
Heb 12:25 See that ye 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.
Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve YAHUAH acceptably with reverence and in the fear of YAHUAH:
Heb 12:29 For our YAH is a consuming fire.

Two voices and yet one who spoke in one go by his magnificent voice

Rom 8:26 Likewise the RUACH also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the RUACH itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Rom 8:27 And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the RUACH, because he makes intercession for the qodeshiym (Saints. Those who are set apart.) according to the will of YAH.

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

The dabar of Mashiyach dwelling in us richly in all wisdom comes forth in forms as teaching, admonishing one another in psalms, hyms and spiritual songs just as the Psalms says 

Psa 4:1 To the chief Musician on Nagyanah, A Psalm of Daud

Nagyanah which modern Hebrew says as NIGGUN and means diversity displayed in such form of tongues, for it begins with a brief vocalic introduction of just wordless sounds, then moves into the same with musical accompaniment for almost the entirety of the NIGGUN. Nagyanah is translated as a song, instrument or music but when we break the word we see the brokeness. Nag/nagah means 'morning/shine' Yanah means to oppress/thrust Nagyanah put together prophetically shows his soul in 'oppression from morning' crying out to Yahuah in groanings that cannot be uttered but is a sweet melody as the ruach ha nabua goes forth from the heart in pslams, hymns and spiritual songs.

Daud who wrote down and sung many of these melodies in prophetic utterances was called a man after Yahuah's own heart.

Act 13:22 “And having removed him, He raised up for them Dawiḏ as sovereign, to whom also He gave witness and said, ‘I have found Dawiḏ the son of Yishai, a man after My own heart, who shall do all My desires.’ 
Act 13:23 “From this one’s seed, according to the promise, Elohim raised up for Yisra’ĕl a Saviour, יהושע, 

1Sa 16:16 “Please, let our master command your servants who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skilled player on the lyre. And it shall be that when the evil spirit from Elohim is upon you, that he shall play with his hand, and you be well.” 1Sa 16:17 And Sha’ul said to his servants, “Please get me a man that plays well, and bring him to me.” 1Sa 16:18 And one of the servants answered and said, “Look, I have seen a son of Yishai the Bĕyth Leḥemite, who knows how to play, a brave one, and a man of battle, and skilled in words, and a handsome man. And יהוה is with him.” 1Sa 16:19 So Sha’ul sent messengers to Yishai, and said, “Send me your son Dawiḏ, who is with the sheep.”



The letters of the Abary have in them the ruach of nabua and many a times the small still voice comes to us in the form of a letter or a word which when looked deeply into gives us all the missing connections to the dots. The letters forming the words, the words forming the sentences and the sentences forming the language...the Ruach Language which is brought forth in an exposition for the edification of all.

The magnificent voice still speaks to us in a second witness bringing alive to us the scriptures.


Eph 5:18  And do not be drunk with wine, in which is loose behaviour, but be filled with the Spirit, 

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

This is what Shaul meant when he said for he saw the Nagyanah/Niggun in a spiritual fulfillment in prophesying in bringing forth the five words of understanding into the assembly and not a unfruitful self building.

1Co 14:14  For if I am praying in a tongue, my spirit is praying, but my understanding is without fruit. 
1Co 14:15  What then is it? I shall pray with the spirit, and I shall also pray with the understanding. I shall sing with the spirit, and I shall also sing with the understanding. 

Psa 29:7 qol-Yahúah chotseb lahaboth ‘esh.

The voice of YAHUAH divides the flames of fire.

Acts 2:3 And there appeared to them languages/lashonoth divided like as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them.  

Languages/Lashonoth is in plural, and we see a fulfillment here because the voice/s (qol/qolot) they refused to hear for fear of death at Mt Sinai came into the talmidyim to witness to the lost sheep of Yisrael the wonderful works of Yahuah through Torah in the native tongues of the hearers. While the remnant chosen for salvation transitioned, to the remaining it was just a mocking/laag lip/sapah.
Rev 14:1 And I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice/qol from heaven, like the voice/qol of many waters and like the voice/qol of maginficient/gadul thunder/raam, and the voice/qol which I heard was like the voice/qol of harpists playing on their harps.
Rev 14:3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth.

The Ruach of prophecy being distributed in Psalms, Hymns & Spiritual songs. Making melody in the heart unto Yahuah, No one can learn the song except the 12 x 12 x 1000.

Job 38:25 mi/Who-palag/divides lasheteph/the flood talah/he will ascend w’derek /and way lachaziz/for lightning qoloth/voices.

' Who divides the flood he will ascend and way for lightning voices.'

The word 'talah' (tau alah: means He will (tau as prefix) and alah (ascend)
The word is a root word in tahallym which means ''praises'
These are the words of Yahuah himself to Ayob and his words show a deep ruach understanding of Him dividing the people/nations (floods) and will make a way for voices like lightning. This can also be seen in Psalms 29:3

Ps 29:3 The voice of Yahuah is upon the waters; the El of esteem thunders, Yahuah is over many waters.

Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices/qoloth: and there were seven menoroth (seven branched candlestick) of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven RUACHOTH (Spirits) of YAHUAH.

Psa 68:18 You have ascended/alah on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that YAH ELOHIYM might dwell among them.

Eph 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of MASHIACH.
Eph 4:8 Wherefore he says, when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Qol/Voice to qoloth/voices.....multiplying....the gift of the dividing flames of fire...a Ruach language which brings forth life through Yahusha himself who is Yahuah. The same 'talah' as a gift remains in our heart as 'tahallyam' praises....singing and making melody in the heart unto Yahuah ....this is the speaking mysteries which Shaul spoke of and not the jabbering mocking lip, this is what Shaul stated in 1 Corin 14:2

1Co 14:2 For he that speaks in a language speaks not unto men, but unto YAHUAH: for no man understands him; howbeit in the ruach (spirit) he speaks mysteries.

No one knows the song except the 12 x 12 x 1000 = 144000. The jabbering tongue came as a judgment to confuse and disperse....and Yahuah used the same jabber to bring his elect back to the fold. Out of the throne came the lightning, thunder & voices/qoloth ....judgment and barakath...to gather and to disperse...to bring in and the scatter. The arrangement or order is also called 'dabar'....those not elected will never see order but just chaos.

Psa 110:4 YAHUAH has sworn, and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order/dabar of Malkiy-Tsedeq.

1Ki 19:11 So He said, Go forth and stand on the mountain before Yahuah.
*And behold,Yahuah was passing by! And a great/gadul and strong/chazaq wind/ruach
was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks/sala before Yahuah;*
but Yahuah was not in the wind/ruach. And after the wind/ruach an earthquake/raash,
but Yahuah was not in the earthquake/raash.

1Ki 19:12 After the earthquake/raash a fire/esh, but Yahuah was not in the fire/esh;
and after the fire/esh came a still/damamah, small/daqah sound/qol

Yahuah was passing by and a great ruach broke in pieces the rocks/sala of the mountains. Yahuah was not in the ruach. Sala is a root word in Salah and notation in Psalms which means 'Pause and Ponder'. Yahuah was passing by and then came an earthquake/raash H7494 (raash also means commotion, confused noise, rattling, shaking) but Yahuah was not in the raash/commotion, confused noise, rattling, shaking. After the shaking/rattling/commotion a fire/esh but Yahuah was not in it. The fire represents the burnt/fire offerings.
After the fire a still/damamah small/daqah voice/qol ...though the text doesn't say that Yahuah was in the 'damamah daqah qol', the absence of saying it shows that He was in it. How do we know, because everywhere else it says he was not in it, if it's not mentioned here means 'HE WAS IN IT'.

damamah is feminine of damam, dam is the blood and damam is the water and the blood.
daqah is the feminine of daq H1851 which also means 'crushed, lean, thin, very little.'
qol is voice.
Yahuah was in the water and blood, in being crushed and a voice that speaks better things than that of Habal/Abel.

Heb 12:24 And to YAHUSHA the mediator of the Renewed Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Habal.

The witness of Yahusha is the ruach of prophecy...the qol/voice which is water and blood oozing through being crushed for our wrong measures.

Heb 12:26 Whose voice/qol shook/raash the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, yet once more I shall shake/raash not only the earth, but also the heaven.
Heb 12:27 And this word, Yet once more, denotes the removing of those things which are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
