Lev 19:35 ‘Do no unrighteousness in right-ruling, in measurement of length, in weight, or in measuring liquids.
Lev 19:36 ‘Have righteous scales, righteous weights, a righteous ĕphah, and a righteous hin. I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Lev 19:37 ‘And you shall guard all My laws and all My right-rulings, and do them. I am יהוה.’ ”
When Yahuah brought Yasharal into the Promised land, the land which he promised the fathers He gave them His right rulings to be kept, a standard of measure that would keep them in fellowship and union with Him and hence , it was a conditional covenant based on Yasharal entering into the blessings and curses, blessings if they kept his right rulings and curses if they broke his right rulings. This Torah of sin and death came unto them when they had made the molded calf, an image of Yahuah when Masha went up on Mount Sinai and tarried for forty days on the mountain. When he came down, he broke the set of the only Torah that was to be in the midst of Yasharal which had the Excellent Voice of Yahuah in it. The Second set was similar to the first set of the tablets but this time to be kept concealed in the chest box/ark (arun) along with the manna (to be kept in front of the ark) and the rod of Masha which budded.
The right ruling commands now given to Yasharal had concealed in them the ruach in the letter which was a school master for them to reach Mashiyach, the Rock that followed them.
In these right rulings came the 7 muaedim (feasts or appointed times) of Yahuah which in Shemitah cycles would roll the chosen unto Mashiyach, just as the tombstone which rolled to witness that Mashiyach is risen and is the just scales, weight, ephah and hin who is Yahuah Himself bringing His people out of the land of Mitsrayim. Hence, the two fold witness of scripture witnesses that we are dead, buried and risen with Mashiyach Yahusha to be transformed from carnal Yerushalayim which is spiritually termed as Mitsrayim (Egypt) to the Promised country from above i.e. Renewed 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,
Yahuah's righteous scales:
Exo 16:33 And Mosheh said to Aharon, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and set it down before יהוה, to keep for your generations.”
Exo 16:34 As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so did Aharon set it down before the Witness, to keep.
Exo 16:35 And the children of Yisra’ĕl ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Kenaʽan.
Exo 16:36 And an omer/amar H6016 is one-tenth of an ĕphah/Ayphah H374.
Rev 2:17 He that has an ear, let him hear את eth what the RUACH says unto the called out assemblies; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it.
As stated the manna was to be concealed in the pot as a witness for the generations and was placed before the ark. This manna was measured as an omer which is 1/10th of an Ayphah.
Today being the feast of the firstfruits its so refreshing to see how this all measures unto Mashiyach.
Lev 23:10 Speak unto the children of Ya shar’el, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap את eth-the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring את eth-a sheaf/omer H6016 of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave את eth-the sheaf before YAHUAH, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Shabbath the priest shall wave it.
I have touched based on this before, when Mashiyach after His resurrection met Miriam, He told her not to Touch him for He has not ascended to the Father and the same evening He showed them his hands and His side
Joh 20:17 YAHUSHA said unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my YAH, and your YAH.
Joh 20:19 Accordingly, it being at even, the first of the Shabbath, when the doors were shut, where the Talmidiym were assembled for fear of the Yahudiym, came YAHUSHA, and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be with you.
Joh 20:20 And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the Talmidiym glad, when they saw את eth-ADONAI.
This is sheer evidence that He was waiting that morning i.e. the morrow after the high Shabbath to ascend in the waive offering of the omer in the haykal/temple and that's why He told Miriam not to touch Him as He has yet to ascend to the Father. The same evening post the waive offering, He asked his talmidiym/disciples to touch his hands and his side.
Omer H6016 from H6014 A primitive root; properly apparently to heap; figuratively to chastise (as if piling blows); specifically (as denominative from H6016) to gather grain: - bind sheaves, make merchandise of.
The barley sheaf which was ripe had to be pure barley grains with no chaff in it, the chaff was separated and the grain was brought in a measure called omer which we saw is 1/10th of an Ayphah. The separation of the chaff from the grain is likened to a chastisement position where the flesh is separated from the ruach, fleshly Yasharal separated from Ruach Yasharal in Mashiyach who went through the process of pain and agony and as prophesied about Him that He would be the reason for the rise and fall of many in Yasharal.
Eze 45:10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just/tsedeq ephah/H374, and a just/tsedeq bath/H1324.
Eze 45:11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
Since, bath and ayphah are of one measure, an omer is 1/10th of both the bath and ayphah (verse 11 of Eze 45)
Its interesting to see that the word bath H1324 is similar to the word bath H1323 which means daughter
And the word Ayphah comes from 2 root words '' Ay H335 '' which means ''where'' and ''pah H6311 '' which means '' here''. Its like asking ''Where? here?'' and it indicates 'where the daughter/bath is''
ZacharYah's vision:
ZacharYah saw the vision of the ayphah measure being carried to the land of Shinar i.e. Babylon and a woman/ishah was sitting in the midst of the ayphah measure and this woman was called 'Wrongness'
Zec 5:6 And I said, “What is it?” And he said, “It is an ĕphah-measure that is going forth.” Again he said, “This is their appearance throughout the earth:
Zec 5:7 “And see, a lead cover lifted up, and this: a woman sitting inside the ĕphah-measure!”
Zec 5:8 And he said, “This is Wrongness!” And he threw her down into the ĕphah-measure, and threw the lead weight over its mouth.
Zec 5:9 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked and saw two women, coming with the wind in their wings. And they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ĕphah-measure between earth and the heavens.
Zec 5:10 Then I said to the messenger who was speaking to me, “Where are they taking the ĕphah-measure?”
Zec 5:11 And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinʽar. And it shall be established and set there on its own base.”
When Yahuah's just measures/right rulings are not kept measuring unto Mashiyach, then we see Mystery Babylon the mother of all harlots. No wonder many have gone to the beggarly elements of carnal keeping of seder, copying Jewish carnal things, killing passover lamb etc when everything transitions to Mashiyach as He is the goal of the Torah. There are many seen on Facebook indulging in Mystery Babylon, the Wrongness in the midst of the ayphah.
Those born from above (Mother Yerushalayim) show the Ruach work in their hearts in obeying Yahuah identifying with the man child whom the woman travailing in birth pangs brought forth (Rev 12), whom the dragon tried to sweep away but the man child was caught up to the throne and the woman nourished in the wilderness away from the face of the dragon
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness/midbar, where she has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
This is where the woman or daughter is (ay: where? pah: here?), in the wilderness where we ought to be. We are not in the land but in the wilderness. Being in the pagan lands we weep and mourn for the Bridegroom to come and take us to be in His full measure.
The se'ah or seah (Hebrew סאה sə’āh), plural se'im, is a Unit of dry measure of ancient origin found in the scriptures which equals one third of an aypah or bath. While omer, ayphah and seah are units of dry measure, bath is a unit of wet measureWe saw the ancient measure of ephah (dry measure) was equal to the bath (unit of wet measure) and hence ayphah was equivalent to 22 liters, and omer equivalent to (2.2 liters, as omer is 1/10th of an ephah).
Hin H1969 a hin or liquid measure: - hin.hin (hin): A liquid measure containing 12 logs i.e. 3.66 litres
The Daily 2 lamb offerings:
Exo 29:38 Now this is that which you shall offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
Exo 29:39 את eth-The one lamb you shall offer in the morning; and את eth-the other lamb you shall offer at evening:
Exo 29:40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
Exo 29:41 And את eth the other lamb you shall offer at evening, and shall do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH.
Exo 29:42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the Tabernacle of the assembly before YAHUAH: where I will meet you, to speak there unto you.
There were according to Torah 2 lamb offerings which needed to be offered daily and Yahusha ha Mashiyach fulfilled these both lamb offerings when he stood hung on the stake from morning 9am to 3pm where the first lamb was offered at 9am and the 2nd at 3pm daily. The 9am and 3pm is portrayed in scripture as the third hour (9am) and the ninth hour (3pm) where the live coals from the brazen altar were taken into the Set Apart place for the incense offering. This can be understood from the scriptures pertaining to the Day of Atonement (Lev 16), the only Day where in his hands much incense was to be carried so that there is a lot of smoke and Aharon doesn't directly look to the mercy seat so as to be killed when he sprinkles the red heifer blood on it
Lev 16:12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before YAHUAH, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:
Lev 16:13 And he shall put את eth-the incense upon the fire before YAHUAH, that the cloud of the incense may cover את eth-the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
For the daily offering the incense offering fire was from the same coals on which the daily morning and evening lambs were offered. The source of the fire was to be from the brazen altar. No strange fire.
Exo 30:1 AND you shall make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittiym wood shall you make it.
Exo 30:2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
Exo 30:3 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, את eth-the top thereof, and את eth-the sides thereof round about, and את eth-the horns thereof; and you shall make unto it a crown of gold round about.
Exo 30:4 And two golden rings shall you make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shall you make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
Exo 30:5 And you shall make את eth-the staves of shittiym wood, and overlay them with gold.
Exo 30:6 And you shall put it before the veil that is by the Ark of the Testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Exo 30:7 And Aharon shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresses את eth-the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
Exo 30:8 And when Aharon lights את eth-the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before YAHUAH throughout your generations.
Exo 30:9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
Exo 30:10 And Aharon shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto YAHUAH.
Remember Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aharon were killed for offering strange fire. They disobeyed Yahuah as the source of their incense offering fire was not from the brazen altar.
Lev 10:1 And Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, the sons of Aharon, each took his fire holder and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and brought strange fire before יהוה, which He had not commanded them.
Lev 10:2 And fire came out from יהוה and consumed them, and they died before יהוה.
Ninth hour: 3pm
It was a custom in the Yahudites to gather for prayer at the third and ninth hour which was called the hour of prayer which actually was the hour of incense. We have evidence from scriptures. Examples Kepha and Yahuchanan went up to the Set-Part place at the ninth hour termed as the hour of prayer. Cornelius was not in Yerushalayim but being reformed in heart to follow the Torah of Yahuah, he was praying at the same hour when incense was being offered
Act 3:1 And Kĕpha and Yoḥanan were going up to the Set-apart Place at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
Act 10:1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a captain of what was called the Italian Regiment,
Act 10:2 dedicated, and fearing Elohim with all his household, doing many kind deeds to the people, and praying to Elohim always.
Act 10:3 He clearly saw in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of Elohim coming to him, and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
ZecharYah received a vision of the appearance of the Messenger on the right side of the altar of incense at the incense hour
Luk 1:8 And it came to be, that while he was serving as priest before Elohim in the order of his division,
Luk 1:9 according to the institute of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to burn incense when he went into the Dwelling Place of יהוה.
Luk 1:10 And the entire crowd of people was praying outside at the hour of incense.
Luk 1:11 And a messenger of יהוה appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense
Hence, its significant to understand the fulfillment by Yahusha ha Mashiyach as He was impaled at the third hour and cried out with a loud voice at the ninth hour and that's when the vail of the Most Set Apart place ripped apart
Mar 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they impaled Him.
Mar 15:26 And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE SOVEREIGN OF THE YEHUḎIM.
Mat 27:45 And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour.
Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour יהושע cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”
Mat 27:47 Some of those standing there, having heard, said, “This One calls Ěliyahu!”
Mat 27:48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave it to Him to drink.
Now lets see the fulfillment of Torah:
Exo 29:40 and one-tenth of an ĕphah of flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering, with the one lamb.
We saw that an omer is one tenth of an ayphah of flour where ayphah is a dry measure and we saw the meaning of ayphah : where? here?. We saw that ayphah and bath were of same measure but ayphah was a dry measure and bath a wet measure. We saw bath also means daughter. Look at what Yahusha told the Daughters of Yerushalayim who were following Him and mourning for Him.
Luk 23:27 And a great number of the people were following Him, and women who also were mourning and lamenting Him.
Luk 23:28 But יהושע, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Yerushalayim, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
Luk 23:29 “For look, days are coming in which they shall say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nursed!’
We saw the ancient measure of ephah (dry measure) was equal to the bath (unit of wet measure) and hence ayphah was equivalent to 22 liters, and omer equivalent to (2.2 liters, as omer is 1/10th of an ephah).
Hence, with the one lamb went 1/10 of an ephah of flour which is equivalent of 2.2 liters of a wet measure.
There are 22 letters in Hebrew and the letters form the words and the words the sentence which is the language of Yahuah from a pure lip. 1/10th of ayphah of fine flour (equivalent to 2.2 liters) shows the 10th letter which is the 'YOD' i.e. the hand of Yahuah in His sacrifice. The hand points to the ayphah : where? here!!!!!
one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering:
Hin H1969 a hin or liquid measure: - hin.hin (hin): A liquid measure containing 12 logs i.e. 3.66 litres
In modern times as per US measure its 5.67 liters.
One fourth of a hin of pressed oil and wine as drink offering would be approx 0.91 liters
Where were the drink offerings poured? A parallel passage shows the drink offerings to be poured as an offering in the Set Apart place
The drink offerings were poured out near the altar on the Temple Mount, where they fell down into a subterraneous cavern (Hebrew: שִׁית), in fulfillment of the Scripture (Numbers 28:7): "In the Qodesh/Set Apart Place you shall pour out a drink offering.
This Set Apart place is not to be mistaken the incense altar which was in the Set Apart place
Exo 30:9 “Do not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and do not pour a drink offering on it.
Num 28:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 28:2 “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘Take heed to bring My offering, My food for My offerings made by fire as a sweet fragrance to Me, at their appointed time.’
Num 28:3 “And you shall say to them, ‘This is the offering made by fire which you bring to יהוה: two male lambs a year old, perfect ones, daily, a continual burnt offering.
Num 28:4 ‘The one lamb you prepare in the morning, and the other lamb you prepare between the evenings,
Num 28:5 with one-tenth of an ĕphah of fine flour as a grain offering mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil,
Num 28:6 a continual burnt offering which was offered at Mount Sinai for a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה,
Num 28:7 and its drink offering, one-fourth of a hin for each lamb. Pour out the drink to יהוה as an offering in the set-apart place.
Coming back to the Hin measure. 1 Hin equals to 12 logs/3.66 liters. Hence, fourth of a hin would be 12/4 = 3 logs or 0.916 liters
This is where the Jews on Pesach drink 4 cups of wine, each cup of approx 8 ounces of wine which is equivalent to the 0.92 liters. The 5th cup they do not drink and keep it for Elijah as they believe Elijah has to come first. While this tradition doesn't hold any value and is fleshly
While the measure of wine as a drink offering is a mystery we do see the type and fulfillment when Yahusha hung on the stake
Mr 15:23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
Mat 27:34 they gave Him wine mixed with bile to drink. And after tasting, He would not drink it.
Joh 19:28 After this, יהושע, knowing that all had been accomplished, in order that the Scripture might be accomplished, said, “I thirst!”
Joh 19:29 A bowl of sour wine stood there, and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and held it to His mouth.
Joh 19:30 So when יהושע took the sour wine He said, “It has been accomplished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
Vinegar is an incorrect translation. Psalms 69:21 uses the word chamets which means fermented drink
Psa 69:21 And they gave me rush/low rank H7219 for my food, And for my thirst they gave me fermented drink/chamets H2558 to drink.
H2558 from H2557 which means leaven/ferment
The word 'rush' H7219 comes from the word H7218 which means 'chief/rank/head'. The word here is negatively used as in the head bowed down
While at first glance the scriptures may seem to be contradictory where Matthew and Mark record that he was given sour wine mixed with myrrh but he wouldn't drink it but Yahuchanan records that he received it.
We must look closely to understand this account. While Matthew and Mark record Yahusha refusing to drink the sour wine, why does Yahuchanan mention he received it?
Joh 19:28 After this, YAHUSHA knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.
Joh 19:29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with sour wine, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
Lev 19:35 ‘Do no unrighteousness in right-ruling, in measurement of length, in weight, or in measuring liquids.
Lev 19:36 ‘Have righteous scales, righteous weights, a righteous ĕphah, and a righteous hin. I am/aniy H590 יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Lev 19:37 ‘And you shall guard all My laws and all My right-rulings, and do them. I am/aniy H590 יהוה.’ ”
Yahuah states clearly here stating to guard ''My laws, All my right-rulings and to them, I am Yahuah''go H590 as a ship searches through the sea for a distant shore. Yahuah here is tying Himself to the tsadaq measures He would fulfill in HIMSELF
Pro 11:1 A false scale is an abomination to יהוה, But a perfect weight is His delight.
bath H1324 Probably from the same as H1327; a bath or Hebrew measure (as a means of division) of liquids: - bath.- also means daughter
We saw the ancient measure of ephah (dry measure) was equal to the bath (unit of wet measure) and hence ayphah was equivalent to 22 liters, and omer equivalent to (2.2 liters, as omer is 1/10th of an ephah).
The 22 liters represent the 22 letters of pure language where 1/10th of ayphah is 2.2 where 'yod' is the 10th letter which shows Yahuah is doing all this by His own arm. The where here is the daughter who was caught in adultery and her Husband Yahusha drank the bitter water of jealously she was to drink, the sour wine which is represented by fourth of a hin where number 4 speaks of 4 corners of the earth where his chosen ones are gathered from
Hin H1969 a hin or liquid measure: - hin.hin (hin): A liquid measure containing 12 logs i.e. 3.66 litres
12 logs/4 = 3 logs -Water, Blood and the Ruach poured out from Yahusha Ha Mashiyach in whom we enter into a full measure
