Deu 16:9 “Count/saphar H5608seven/shabah H7650 & H7651 sabbaths/shabat H7620for yourself. Begin to count seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the rising stalk of grain.
Deu 16:10 “And you shall perform the Festival of Shabaout/H7620 to יהוה your Elohim, according to the voluntary offering from your hand, which you give as יהוה your Elohim blesses you.
The spiritual picture in Paleo Hebrew ‘Saphar shabah shabat’ in Deut 16:9 shows ‘Record the oath, the oath of the covenant’
For details please read what is written in the picture above
What was the oath?
Isa 44:1 “But now hear, O Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, and Yasharal whom I have chosen.
Isa 44:2 Thus said יהוה who made you and formed you from the womb, who helps you, ‘Do not fear, O Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, and Yeshurun, whom I have chosen.
Isa 44:3 ‘For I pour water on the thirsty, and floods on the dry ground. I pour My Ruach on your seed, and My blessing on your offspring,
Lu 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Yerushalayim, until you be endued with power from on high.
Acts 1:4 While they ate together, He commanded them not to depart from Yerushalayim, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard from Me
The oath/promise was to pour out his Ruach ha Qodesh.
The Festival of Shabaout:
Lev 23:15 ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf/omer H6016 of the wave offering/tanupah H8573, you shall count/saphar H5608 for yourselves: seven/shaba H7651 completed/tamayam H8549 Sabbaths/H7676.
Lev 23:16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a renewed/chadash H2319 grain offering/manchah H4503 to יהוה.
For details to understand Tanupah please read what is written in the picture above
Omer H6016 is a dry measure. The counting of seven Sabbaths was from the morrow when the first-fruits of the omer/sheaf of firstfruits of the soil were brought in on the morrow of the Sabbath.
In Deuteronomy it is written what this sheaf/omer should be, it was a basket
Deu 26:2 that you shall take some of the first of all the fruits of the soil which you bring from your land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you, and shall put it in a basket/tana H2935 and go to the place where יהוהyour Elohim chooses to make His Name dwell there.
There is another word for sheaf in Hebrew and its ‘alam’ H485 and means ‘something bound’ i.e. a sheaf
The word Lev 23:10 uses is ‘omer’ H6016 which actually means ‘a heap’. A heap cannot be bound, its heaped up on a basket, and Deut 26:2 uses the word ‘tana’ H2935 which means ‘a basket’
Scripture records the first firstfruits were offered by Qayin & Habal
Gen 4:3 So it came about in the kind of/man end/qats of days or season/yamyam that Qayin brought an offering/manchah H4503 to Yahuah of the fruit of the ground.
‘man H4480 qats H7093 yamyam H3117’
Scripture records ‘In the kind of end of days/season’ that Qayin brought a manchah to Yahuah of the fruit of the ground. It’s understood that at the end of the winter when spring came in and ground gave its yield Qayin brought the fruit of the ground. But if you notice it doesn’t mention he brought the firstfruits of the yield. But of Habal its mentioned as follows
Gen 4:4 and Habel brought, he also, from the portions of/man H4480 firstlings/bakaruth H1062 of his flock and of their fat portions/ man H4480. And Yahuah had regard for Habel and for his offering/manchah H4503;
Habal brought from the portions the firstfruits/bakaruth of his flock and of their fat portion. The firstfruits and Shabout offerings were accompanied by manchah offerings, a portion for Yahuah which was for the priests. We are seeing an era before Torah which points to Yahuah’s deliverance rehearsed in appointed times.
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave אתeth-the sheaf before YAHUAH, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Shabbath the priest shall wave it.
Lev 23:12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave/nuph H5130 את eth-the sheaf a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto YAHUAH.
Lev 23:13 Lev 23:13 And the meat offering/manchah H4503 thereof shall betwo tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto YAHUAH for a sweet savour: a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
Lev 23:14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought את eth-an offering unto your ELOHIYM: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
While Qayin and Habal’s offering doesn’t record the details of the offerings, it is understood that before Torah came by word of mouth it came down to the sons from their fathers, in this case Adam would have taught his sons Qayin and Habal what to offer to be acceptable to Yahuah. The way of Qayin is disobedience to Yahuah’s Torah in not offering the firstfruits of the produce and not offering it in the correct way as it was stated that it should be offered along with a he Lamb of the first year without blemish along with the manchah and the drink offerings. The he lamb was to be without blemish and male of the first year, it was waived/tanupah before Yahuah and then offered as a burnt offering along with the manchah of two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil and the drink offering of wine a fourth part of hin. Though the Torah came later with the details, it was already in effect by word of mouth from the father to the son.
For details on understanding the manchah offering you may read my study on FB here:
‘In the kind of end of days/man qats yamyam’ is pointing to Yahusha ha Mashiyach who is the firstfruits offered for us
1Pe 1:20 foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for your sakes,
Manchah: 2/ shanay x 10th/asarun deals of fine flour mingled with oil/shemen
The manchah offerings was not just limited to feast day offerings. It was a continuous offering along with the lambs/goat sacrifices sacrificed on the brazen altar. The specifications of 1 x 10th of fine flour, 2 x 10th of fine flour mingled with oil have significance in the measures/numbers
Lev 23:14 says they were not to eat bread before they offered it to Yahuah, so how did they eat unleavened bread on Day 1 and Day 2 of the feast of Pesach & Unleavened Bread? The unleavened bread eaten on Day 1 and Day 2 was made from the previous year harvest. The verse Lev 23:14 means they were not to eat bread or green ears or parched grain of the new harvest until they had offered its firstfruits to Yahuah.
From day 1 until the 8th day no leaven had to be found within their boundaries
Exo 13:7 Matstsah shall be eaten את eth seven days; and there shall no chamets be seen with you, neither shall there be leaven seen with you in all your boundaries.
1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a renewed lump, as ye are matstsah. (unleavened) For even MASHIYACH our Pesach (Passover) is sacrificed for us:
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the Feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the matstsah (unleavened bread) of sincerity and truth.
The daily offerings during the feast of Unleavened bread:
We saw the first fruits offering which was to be offered on the morrow of the Shabbath. During the feast of Unleavened bread, the following were the sacrifices to be offered:
Num 28:16 And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the Pesach (Passover) of YAHUAH.
Num 28:17 Num 28:17 And in the fifteenth day of this month isthe feast: seven days shall matstsah (unleavened bread) be eaten.
Num 28:18 In the first day shall be a set-apart assembly; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:
Num 28:19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto YAHUAH; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
Num 28:20 And their meat offering/manchah shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
Num 28:21 A tenth/asarun tenth/asarun deal shall you offer for every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
Num 28:22 And one goat fora sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
Num 28:23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual אתeth-burnt offering.
Num 28:24 After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the BREAD/lacham of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YAHUAH: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
Num 28:25 And on the seventh day ye shall have a holy assembly; ye shall do no servile work.
The continual burnt offering:
Exo 29:38 “And this is what you prepare on the altar: two lambs, a year old, daily, continually.
Exo 29:39 “Prepare the one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you prepare between the evenings,
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.
Exo 29:41 “And prepare the other lamb between the evenings. And with it prepare the grain offering/manchah H4503 and the drink offering, as in the morning, for a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה –
We see the spiritual significance and the fulfillment of Torah when Yahusha hung on the stake. Aluahym brought darkness over the whole land between the 6th to the 9th hour thus bringing the morning and the evening daily sacrifice of the lamb making it one in Yahusha who is the LAMB who was slain. The wine as the drink offering signifies the renewed covenant in Him as new wine in new wine skins and the manchah offering as the sweet savor of the grain seed offering in a perfect measure along with the shedding of his blood. The manchah offering was always offered with the burnt offering.
Offerings for the 7 days of Unleavened bread along with the sacrificial animals during the chag/feast contd…
Manchah offered as bread mingled with oil/shemen (Numbers 28:24):
3 x 10th of fine flour for one bullock so twice 3 x 10th as two bullocks were offered
2 x 10th of fine flour for the ram
10 x 10th of fine flour for each of the 7 lambs
It is perfectly understood that this bread was without leaven as this offered was during the feast of Unleavened bread. The firstfruits fell on the morrow of the Shabbath during the feast of Unleavened bread. Moreover, all manchah offerings were without leaven.
Lev 2:11 ‘No grain offering/manchah H4503 which you bring to יהוה is made with leaven, for you do not burn any leaven or any honey in an offering to יהוה made by fire.
Deu 16:4 And there shall be no chamets seen with you in all your coast seven days; neither shall there anythingof the flesh, which you sacrificed the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
The drink offering was standard i.e. wine, the fourth part of a hin (though here it’s not mentioned)
The Daily offering had manchah/grain offering of 1 x 10th fine flour. This was made into unleavened cakes/bread
The first fruits had 2 x 10th of manchah of fine flour as unleavened cakes/bread
The 7 days offering of unleavened bread had the 3 x 10, 2 x 10 and 10 x 10 manchah offering as unleavened cakes/bread
The Shavouth offering and the peace offerings were the only offering which had the unleavened manchah 2 x 10th of fine flour baked apart from the chamats which were made into two loaves
Lev 2:4 And if you bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, Lev 2:4 And if you bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be matstsah cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,or matstsah wafers anointed with oil.
Lev 2:5 And if your oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be offine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
Lev 2:6 You shall part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
Lev 2:7 And if your oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
Lev 2:8 And you shall bring אתeth-the meat offering/manchah that is made of these things unto YAHUAH: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
Lev 2:9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering/manchah אתeth-a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it isan offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YAHUAH.
Lev 2:10 And that which is left of the meat offering/manchah shall be Aharon's and his sons': it is a thing most set-apart of the offerings of YAHUAH made by fire.
All offerings had the manchah unleavened/matstsah
What is significant to see are the numbers 1, 2, 3 & 10 of 10thdeals of fine flour in manchah offerings
One- echad x 10
Two- shanay x 10
Three- shalash x 10
Ten- asar x 10
Where the number 10 speaks of completeness
The seven into seven plus the echad/one leading to fifty days unto Shabouth. The seven lambs for each day of Unleavened bread 7 x 7
The one lamb for each of the 7 days of Unleavened bread 1 x 7
The two bullocks for each of the 7 days of Unleavened bread 2 x 7
Where number 7 speaks of Totality/Fullness
The fifty days from morrow of the Shabbath leading to Feast of Weeks/Shavout …5 x 10
Where 5 speaks of Torah and 10 speaks of completeness
The numbers are again seen in the 7-year Shemittah cycle, all fulfilled by and in Mashiyach as he is the sacrifice, he is the sweet smelling manchah. The 1 shows we are achad in Him and being waived/tanupah before Aluahym as a continuous reminder. We saw the words tanupah and terumah which are feminine having the verbs nuph/waive and rum/high which shows the ashah/wife through the ashah/fire offering was brought to remembrance before Yahuah to gather her from the four corners of the earth where she is/will be scattered
The ashah/wife is presented in the aysh/husband
Lev 5:12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, את eth-even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, over or with/al the offerings made by fire/ashah H801 unto YAHUAH: it isa sin offering.
H5921 עַל Properly the same as H5920 used as a preposition (in the singular or plural, often with prefix, or as conjugation with a particle following); above, over, upon, or against (yet always in this last relation with a downward aspect) in a great variety of applications: - above, according to (-ly), after, (as) against, among, and, X as, at, because of, beside (the rest of), between, beyond the time, X both and, by (reason of), X had the charge of, concerning for, in (that), (forth, out) of, (from) (off), (up-) on, over, than, through (-out), to, touching, X with.
The most appropriate prepositions in translating ‘al’ to English here would be above, after, among, over & with which shows the sin offering which was like the manchah offering and vice versa went above or over the burnt offering, it went after the burnt offering, it went among the burnt offering and it went with the burnt offering, not solo.
The poor man who couldn’t offer two turtle doves for a sin offering could offer just the manchah which was offered over/with the burnt offering of the altar clubbing his manchah with the sin/guilt offering of the other who could afford it.
The 7-year Shemittah/Shabbatical tithing:
Deu 26:10 And now, behold, I have brought אתeth-the firstfruits of the land, which you, O YAHUAH, have given me. And you shall set it before YAHUAH ELOHAYKA, and worship before YAHUAH ELOHAYKA:
Deu 26:11 And you shall rejoice in every good thing which YAHUAH ELOHAYKA has given unto you, and unto your house, you, and the Leviyiy, and the stranger that isamong you.
Deu 26:12 When you have made an end of tithing את eth-all the tithes of your increase the third year, which isthe year of tithing, and have given it unto the Leviyiy, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;
Deu 26:13 Then you shall say before YAHUAH ELOHAYKA, I have brought away the hallowed things out of myhouse, and also have given them unto the Leviyiy, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment.
In a 7-year Shabbat cycle there were 5 types of tithing Yasharal had to bring to Yahuah:
1) The Terumah/Heave Offering H8641: Terumah is a feminine noun and means ‘Lifting up’ and comes from the verb stem ‘rum’ which means ‘high/lift up/height’
Tenupah is also a feminine noun and means ‘waive offering’ and comes form the verb stem ‘nuph’ which means ‘sawing/sift/waive’
Exodus 29:27 And you shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering (tenupah) which is waved (verb nuph), and the shoulder of the "raised offering" (terumah) which is raised up (verb rum), of the ram of the consecration, even that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons
The Terumah offering was one out of the whole in grain offerings and the right shoulder/leg portion in the peace offerings. The Terumah offering/heave offering had to be eaten besides the altar by the priests when in a ritual clean state. The Terumah/Heave offering of the right shoulder/thigh (Numbers 18:18)
Num 18:18 And the flesh of them shall be yours, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are yours.
Lev 7:32 And את eth-the right/yamiyin H3225 shoulder/shuq H7785 shall ye give unto the priest for a heave offering/terumah H8641 of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
Lev 7:33 He among the sons of Aharon, that offers את eth-the blood of the peace offerings, and את eth-the fat, shall have the right/yamiyin H3225 shoulder/shuq H7785 for his part.
Lev 7:34 For את eth-the wave/tanupah 8573 breast/chazeh H2373 and את eth-the heave/ terumah H8641 shoulder/ shuq H7785 have I taken of the children of Yashar’el from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings and have given them unto Aharon the priest and unto his sons by a statute forever from among the children of Yashar’el.
The alpha tau tanupah chazeh and the alaph tau terumah shuq from the peace/shalom offerings were given to the priests and his sons by a statute forever.
Chazeh H2373 from H2372 also means ‘specifically to have a vision of: - behold, look, prophesy, provide, see’.
We saw what Tanupah spiritually stands for ‘the basarah going forth to the 4 ends of the earth and the basarah has the praise, celebration, lamentation & rehearsal. The tanupah chazeh/chazah was a vision/looking forward to Mashiyach who would be face to face with creation and we transformed into his image and likeness. Just below his breast Yahusha ha Mashiyach was pierced where blood and water flowed. Also, his hands and his legs were pierced (being impaled) for our transgressions where the right hand shows that he stands for his people
Psa 121:5 YAHUAH is your guard: YAHUAH is your shade/tsal H6738 upon your right hand.
The Abary word ‘tsal’ H6738 is a root word in the word ‘tsala’ H6763 which means ‘ribs’. That’s where Chauah came from and was a type of the assembly/bride of Mashiyach and we are that bride.
The terumah chazeh and the terumah shuq shows us the completion in Mashiyach who was offered in being impaled.
Lev 7:12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving matstsah (unleavened) cakes mingled with oil, and matstsah wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
Lev 7:13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering chamets (leavened bread) with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
Lev 7:14 And of it he shall offer And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for a heave offering/terumah H8641 unto YAHUAH, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkles את eth-the blood of the peace offerings.
Lev 10:12 And Mosheh spoke unto El-Aharon, and unto El`azar and unto Iythamar, his sons that were left, Take אתאת eth-the meat offering/manchah that remains of the offerings of YAHUAH made by fire/ashah, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most set-apart:
Lev 10:13 And ye shall eat it in the set apart place, because it is your due, and your sons' due, of the sacrifices of YAHUAH made by fire: for so I am commanded.
Lev 10:14 And את eth-the wave breast and את eth-the heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they be your due, and your sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Yashar’el.
Lev 10:15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before YAHUAH; and it shall be yours, and your sons' with you, by a statute forever; as YAHUAH has commanded.
Lev 22:6 The soul which has touched any such shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the set-apart things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
The Tanupah and the Terumah went hand in hand as the portion was waived in four corners by lifting it up which shows the basarah going forth from the borders/tar or tur as the rising/rum waters/mah and the basarah has praise, lamentation, celebration & rehearsal. It was a rehearsal as a reminder to Yahuah of his promise to gather scattered Yasharal from the four corners of the earth. The Terumah also shows the boundaries/tar which Yahuah made for the exalted/rum waters/mah that they do not cross over.
Job 38:11 And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves be stayed?
Yahusha ha Mashiyach said when I am lifted up I will draw all men unto Me
Joh 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
He was lifted up in shame, in affliction, in humility and in his lifting up the proud waves of the exaltation of man will be stayed within the boundaries. He is the only one who has ascended far above all heavens and fills all things. Being highly exalted.
In the peace offerings along with the matstsah cakes of chamets/leavened bread was also to be offered. Chamets with the burnt offering was a reminder that He made him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be the righteousness of Aluahym in him 2 Corin 5:21
Lev 7:12 If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving matstsah (unleavened) cakes mingled with oil, and matstsah wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
Lev 7:13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering chamets (leavened bread) with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
1) The first tithe/rishon maaser: mashar/maaser H4683 which means ‘from/mem ashar/ten H6235’
They received from "all Yasharal" a tithe of food or livestock for support, and in turn would set aside a tenth portion of that tithe (known as the Terumat hamaaser) for the Aaronic priests which we will see a little later
Num 18:21 And, behold, I have given the children of Leviy all the tenth/mashar in Yashar’el for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even את eth-the service of the Tabernacle of the assembly.
Mem is the water and the blood and the number 10 stands for completeness
2) The second tithe/shanay maaser: Also called the festival tithe
The second tithe involved the setting aside of one tenth of specific agricultural produce during the first, second, fourth and fifth years of each seven-year cycle.
Unlike other offerings which were restricted to consumption within the tabernacle, the second tithe could be consumed anywhere within the Walls of Yerushalayim. Aluahym commanded the Children of Yasharal to take a second tithe that was to be brought to the place of the Dwelling of the Temple (Deuteronomy 14:22-27)
How do we know that this tithe was collected in first, second, fourth & fifth year?
Deut 14:22 says they had to bring the tithe from the increase year by year. In comparison Deut 26:12 says when you have made an end of tithing all the tithes of your increase the third year. Hence, one, two, no shanay maser/second tithe in the third year as the anay maaser/poor man’s tithe was to be collected in the third year. Then again, the shanay maser/second tithe would resume in the fourth and fifth year (one, two) and would stop as in the sixth year (which is the third) the poor man’s/anay tithe/maser would be collected
Deu 26:12 When you have made an end of tithing את eth-all the tithes of your increase the third year, the year of tithing, and have given it unto the Leviyiy, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;
Deu 14:22 You shall truly tithe אתeth all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year.
Deu 14:23 And you shall eat before YAHUAH ELOHAYKA, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks; that you may learn to fear את eth-YAHUAH ELOHAYKA always.
Deu 14:24 And if the way be too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from you, which YAHUAH ELOHAYKA shall choose to set his name there, when YAHUAH ELOHAYKA has blessed you:
Deu 14:25 Then shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go unto the place which YAHUAH ELOHAYKA shall choose:
Deu 14:26 And you shall bestow that money for whatsoever your soul lusts after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before YAHUAH ELOHAYKA, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,
Deu 14:27 And the Leviyiy that is within your gates; you shall not forsake him; for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
3) The poor man’s tithe/maser anay: In years three and six of the Shemittah-cycle/Sabbatical year cycle the Yasharalites set aside another tithe as the poor tithe, and it was given to the Levites, strangers, orphans, and widows.
Deu 26:12 When you have made an end of tithing אתאת eth-all the tithes of your increase the third year, which isthe year of tithing, and have given it unto the Leviyiy, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled;
Deu 26:13 Then you shall say before YAHUAH ELOHAYKA, I have brought away the hallowed things out of myhouse, and also have given them unto the Leviyiy, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment
4) Terumat Mashar/maaser: Tithe of the Tithe
The Levite priests would offer these tithes of the tithes to the kahan ha gadul and his sons serving in the office of the chief priests
Num 18:26 Thus speak unto the Leviyiym, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Yashar’el את eth-the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a Num 18:26 Thus speak unto the Leviyiym, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Yashar’el את eth-the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave offering/terumah H8641 of it for YAHUAH, even a tithe/maaser of the tithe/maaser.
Num 18:27 And thisyour heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the grain of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
Num 18:28 Thus ye also shall offer a heave offering unto YAHUAH of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Yashar’el; and ye shall give thereof YAHUAH’S את eth-heave offering/terumah H8641 to Aharon the priest.
Summary of tithing:
5 types of tithes
1) Terumah/Lifting up: The daily, eaten in the Set-Part place by the priests
2) The first/rishon tithe/maaser: one tenth of all the produce year by year for the priests as they didn’t have an inheritance in Yasharal
3) The second/shanay tithe/maaser: the festival tithe which could also be converted into money and spent within the walls of Yerushalayim feasting. The tithe collected in one, two, fourth and fifth years of the shemittah cycle.
4) The poor man’s tithe/anay maaser: In the third and sixth year of the Shemittah/Sabbatical year cycle given to the Levites, strangers, orphans, and widows.
5) Terumat maser: Tithe of the tithe given by Levites to the kahan ha gadul and his sons serving from all portions
Lev 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Shabbath, from the day that ye brought אתeth-the sheaf of the wave offering/tanupah; seven Shabbathoth (Sabbaths) shall be complete:
Lev 23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh Shabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a renewed/chadash manchah/grain offering unto YAHUAH.
In a Shemittah/Sabbatical cycle of 7 years the 50th year was a jubilee when every bondman/bondwoman, servant, captive, slave etc. would return back to his inheritance. In each 7 shemittah cycle there were 5 types of tithes where number 5 speaks of Torah and number 10 completeness. i.e. 5 x 10.
The two fish and five loaves feeding the five thousand just before Pesach:
Joh 6:4 And the Pesach, a Feast of YAHUAH which the Yahudiym observed, was nigh.
Joh 6:5 When YAHUSHA then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he said unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Joh 6:6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Joh 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may take a little.
Joh 6:8 One of his Talmidiym, Andrai, Shim`on Kepha's brother, said unto him,
Joh 6:9 There is a lad here, which has five barley loaves, and two small fish: but what are they among so many?
Joh 6:10 And YAHUSHA said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Joh 6:11 And YAHUSHA took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the Talmi diym, and the Talmidiym to them that were set down; and likewise of the fish as much as they would.
Joh 6:12 When they were filled, he said unto his Talmidiym, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
Joh 6:13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
The left overs were carried over in heaps in 12 baskets where 12 baskets represent the 12 tribes, the five barley loaves unleavened show us the Torah of life concealed in the bread and the bread itself spiritually represents Yahusha as later on in the same chapter we see him calling Himself as the bread who came down from heaven. The two small fish represents the two-fold witness as He would make us fishers of men. The five thousand men that were fed represents the 5 x 1000 where 5 shows Torah and 1000 the completeness.
The leavened loaves:
Lev 23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh Shabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a renewed grain offering/manchah unto YAHUAH.
Lev 23:17 You shall bring in from your dwelling places two/shatayam or shanayam loaves/lacham for a wave offering/tanupah, made of two/shanay-tenths/asaran of fine flour/soleth; baked with leaven/chamats as first fruits to Yahuah
On the 50th day i.e. the day of Shabouth a renewed manchah was to be offered. This is understood as per Lev 7:13 that this was besides the unleavened manchah offered to Yahuah. The two loaves of leaven were to be made from two tenths of fine flour.
The unleavened bread represents Yahusha the firstfruits over all creation and the firstfruits from the dead. The two loaves made from chamats/leaven represents us as two/shanay who were leavened where shanay also means scarlet which is red in color as blood, reserved for redemption, and we were tanupah/waived as a reminder to gather us from the four corners of the earth, we being offered with the fire offerings/ashah we become unleavened in Mashiyach who is the firstfruits offered on the same altar. We are impaled with Mashiyach
Act 2:1 AND when the day of Shavu’oth was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
‘And when the day of Shabuoth was fully come’ is an indication of being the 50th day a completion of the promise that carnal Torah stood in types, the promise of the Ruach ha Qodesh being poured out, the promise was to the children’s children and to all that are afar off (scattered to the 4 corners of the earth where the tanupah/waive offering was a continuous reminder to Yahuah) as many as Yahuah Alahaynu would call.
Act 2:38 Then Kepha said unto them, Repent, and be immersed every one of you in the name of YAHUAH-YAHUSHA for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the RUACH HA’QODESH.
Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as YAHUAH ELOHAYNU shall call.
Gal 3:13 MASHIACH has redeemed us from the curse of the Torah, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree: (Devariym 21:23)
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Avraham might come on the other nations through YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH; that we might receive the promise of the RUACH through belief.
The heave, burnt, thanksgiving, peace, manchah offerings, tithes etc, in a shemittah cycle was a continuous reminder (as a tanupah) of the completion of the Torah of life (5 x 10) concealed in the written Torah, which is the jubilee in Machiyach. If the Son sets you free you are free indeed.
