Num15:15 As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the alien/gar who sojourns/hagar with you, an eternal statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the alien be before Yahuah
Hagar means Flight, forsaken. So what do you see the word Hagar translated as sojourn?
The word used for sojourner elsewhere is tushab which means return. Shab is a verb which means return. As Yahuah told Sarah, I will shub ashub according to the time of life and after this Sarah will bear a son.
The word gar is used in context of someone away from their native country.
Gen 12:10 And a scarcity of food came to be in the land, and Aḇram went down to Mitsrayim to sojourn/gar there, for the scarcity of food was severe in the land.
Gar/geyr is rooted in hagar. Abraham sojourned as stranger in Egypt, away from promised land . He was in a flight away from the promised land.
From this we learn the ones who came as strangers into Yasharal either were immersed into the Torah way of life or some of them accepted the outward form of Torah and became a stumbling block to Yasharal in leading them away from Yahuah. Just like Shelemoh’s foreign wives who led him away from Yahuah.
1Ki 11:1 And Sovereign Shelomoh loved many foreign women in addition to the daughter of Pharaoh: Mo’aḇite, Ammonite, Eḏomite, Tsiḏonian, and Ḥittite women;
1Ki 11:2 from the nations of whom יהוה had said to the children of Yisra’ěl, “You do not go into them, and they do not go into you, for they shall certainly turn away your hearts after their mighty ones.” Shelomoh clung to these in love.
1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And his wives turned away his heart.
1Ki 11:4 And it came to be, when Shelomoh was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other mighty ones. And his heart was not perfect with יהוה his Elohim, as was the heart of his father Dawiḏ.
They were hagar to their native lands. While others in flight accepted the Torah of Yahuah by abiding in it.
When Shaul likened the present Yerushalayim in bondage as Hagar the bond woman with her children, he understood the spiritual in the natural as the native born of Yasharal were strangers/hagar to the Torah of life in Mashiyach Yahusha which is from above. They were in a flight away from truth into being carnal.
Gal 4:22 For it has been written that Aḇraham had two sons, one by a female servant, the other by a free woman.
Gal 4:23 But he who was of the female servant was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise.
Gal 4:24 This is allegorical, for these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar,
Gal 4:25 for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children.
Gal 4:26 But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.
They are like pagan Gentiles who trample the outer court and not measured into the Dwelling Place
Rev 11:1 And a reed like a measuring rod was given to me, and the messenger stood, saying, “Rise and measure the Dwelling Place of Elohim, and the slaughter-place, and those worshipping in it.
Rev 11:2 “But cast out the court which is outside the Dwelling Place, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations, and they shall trample the set-apart city under foot for forty-two months.
Hagar was a Mitsriy(Egyptian)
Gen 16:3 And Sarai, Aḇram’s wife, took Haḡar her female servant, the Mitsrian, and gave her to her husband Aḇram to be his wife, after Aḇram had dwelt ten years in the land of Kena‛an.
When Sarah gave Hagar to be Abraham’s wife and when Hagar conceived, she cursed Sarah in her eyes. While the Hebrew word ‘qalal’ word can mean ‘despise’ and is correctly translated, the word also means ‘curse’
Gen 16:4 And he went in to Haḡar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised/qalal H7043 in her eyes.
The bond woman was cursing Sarah and when Sarah was harsh with her she fled Sarah. Why did the Messenger of Yahuah ask her to return back to Sarah if eventually she had to be put away ?
Gen 16:9 And the Messenger of יהוה said to her, “Return/shub to your mistress, and humble yourself under her hand./yadyah ”
Gen 16:10 And the Messenger of יהוה said to her, “I am going to increase your seed greatly, too numerous to be counted.”
Gen 16:11 And the Messenger of יהוה said to her, “See, you are conceiving and bearing a son, and shall call his name Yishma‛ěl, because יהוה has heard your affliction.
The time of life where the promised seed to come from Sarah was not yet come and hence she was asked to return /shub to her mistress under her Yahuah given authority. The Abaryt word there is ‘yadyah’ where ‘yad’ means hand and ‘Yah’ is the poetic short form for ‘Yahuah’
They translated the word ‘yadyah’ as ‘her hand’ but there is ruach hidden in the letter.
Gen 16:16 And Aḇram was eighty-six years old when Haḡar bore Yishma‛ěl to Aḇram.
Abraham was 86 years old when Yishmael was born to him and 100 years old when Yitshaq was born to him.
Gen 21:5 And Aḇraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitsḥaq was born to him.
The 14 years were significant tied to the Shemittah cycle as Yahuah told Abraham that He would shub ashub/ turn return according to the time of life and Sarah his wife is to have a son
Gen 18:10 And He said, “I shall turn/shub return/ashub to you according to the time of life, and see, Sarah your wife is to have a son!” And Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.
Each Shemittah cycle was of 7 years and the end of 2 more Shemittah cycles would bring forth the promised seed. Before the end of the second Shemittah Yahuah appeared to him and gave him the sign of circumcision in his flesh when he was 99 years old.
Gen 17:1 And it came to be when Aḇram was ninety-nine years old, that יהוה appeared to Aḇram and said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai – walk before Me and be perfect.
We see Shaul says, the promise was not to seeds as of many but as of ONE and that SEED was Mashiyach.
Gal 3:16 But the promises were spoken to Aḇraham, and to his Seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,”who is Messiah.
That’s why Shaul the emissary says we were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands in putting off the body of sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Mashiyach.
Col 2:11 In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Messiah,
Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in immersion, in which you also were raised with Him through the belief in the working of Elohim, who raised Him from the dead.
Once Yitshaq was born Yishmael persecuted him and that’s when Sarah told Abraham to cast the bond woman and her son out.
Gal 4:28 And we, brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise.
Gal 4:29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him born according to the Spirit, so also now.
Gal 4:30 But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the female servant and her son, for the son of the female servant shall by no means be heir with the son of the free woman.”
Gal 4:31 Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the female servant but of the free woman.
Gen 21:9 And Sarah saw the son of Haḡar the Mitsrian, whom she had borne to Aḇraham, mocking/tsachaq.
Gen 21:10 So she said to Aḇraham, “Drive out this female servant and her son, for the son of this female servant shall not inherit with my son, with Yitsḥaq.
While tsachaq has several meanings as laugh/mock , it also means sport or play.
Exo 32:6 And they rose early on the next day, and offered ascending offerings, and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play/tsachaq H6711
The same word is used when Yasharal made a golden calf and rose up to sport as pagans do. The picture is of making loud noises and laughing in deep idolatry, just as the prophets of Baal cut themselves with stones and shouted out loud to Baal and AlaYahu(Elijah) mocked them. While scripture is silent on how Yishmael persecuted Yitshaq, Sarah was extremely displeased and wanted the bond woman and her son cast out and Yahuah had planned it this way.
Gen 21:11 And the matter was very evil in the eyes of Aḇraham because of his son.
Gen 21:12 But Elohim said to Aḇraham, “Let it not be evil in your eyes because of the boy and because of your female servant. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice, for in Yitsḥaq your seed is called.
Numbers 15:15 the last part of the verse says “As you are, so is the stranger/gar before יהוה”
1Pe 1:1 Kěpha, an emissary of יהושע Messiah, to the chosen, strangers/tushab of the dispersion in Pontos, Galatia, Kappadokia, Asia, and Bithunia,
The Hebrew translation for 1Peter 1:1 uses the word tushab for strangers and we saw the word tushab means to return, tau is the letter which stands for covenant and shub is a verb which means ‘return’
The dispersed Messianic Yahudim have a promise to return to the promised land, not the present Yerushalayim which is in flight /hagar being in bondage with her children. Anyone buying her oil to keep their lamps burning are actually in spiritual Babylon, being carnally attached to her. The true sojourners look for the heavenly country just as our father Abraham did. He walked the promised land but he looked at the promise to be spiritual
Heb 11:8 By belief, Aḇraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he was about to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
Heb 11:9 By belief, he sojourned/gar in the land of promise dwelling in tents with Yitsḥaq and Ya‛aqoḇ, the heirs with him of the same promise,
Heb 11:10 for he was looking for the city having foundations, whose builder and maker is Elohim.
He sojourned in the land of promise as being in a flight. He didn’t see Canaan as the promised land but the Heavenly Yerushalayim as the promised land.
It’s interesting to see that before Abraham was called out of his fathers house, he had no identity or ethnicity ie. he was not known as a Hebrew. It was only when he crossed over, he was called an Abary/Hebrew
Gen 14:13 And one who had escaped came and informed Aḇram the Hebrew, for he dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamrě the Amorite, brother of Eshkol and brother of Aněr, and they had a covenant with Aḇram.
That is the reason Shaul the emissary gives several examples on Abraham being justified by belief and not works of Torah
Gen 15:5 And He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens, and count the stars if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So are your seed.”
Gen 15:6 And he believed in יהוה, and He reckoned it to him for righteousness.
1. Abraham was circumcised in the heart before being circumcised in the flesh
Rom 4:9 Is this blessing then upon the circumcised only, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we affirm: Belief was reckoned unto Aḇraham for righteousness.
Rom 4:10 How then was it reckoned? Being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
2. The promise made to Abraham was “In you all the gentiles will be blessed “ The gentiles as him have the work of Torah written on their hearts.
Rom 2:14 For when gentiles, who do not have the Torah, by nature do what is in the Torah, although not having the Torah, they are a torah to themselves,
Rom 2:15 who show the work of the Torah written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or even excusing,
3. Abraham had nothing to boast about before Aluahym because he was not justified by works but by unmerited favor
Rom 4:1 What, then, shall we say Aḇraham our father, to have found, according to the flesh?
Rom 4:2 For if Aḇraham was declared right by works, he has ground for boasting, but not before Elohim.
4. The promise made to Abraham was not to seeds as of many but the SEED ie. Mashiyach
Gal 3:16 But the promises were spoken to Aḇraham, and to his Seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,”who is Messiah.
5. Abraham lived as a sojourner with the heirs of the same promise , living in tents
Heb 11:9 By belief, he sojourned in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in tents with Yitsḥaq and Ya‛aqoḇ, the heirs with him of the same promise,
These are the words of David
1Ch 29:15 “For we are sojourners/tushab and pilgrims/gar before You, as were all our fathers; our days on earth are as a shadow, and without permanence.
Here David uses both the words to show that just as our fathers of belief were he was also both in flight/gar as well as tushab/ in a covenant return. When David wanted to build a house for Yahuah when the ark rested, this was Yahuah’s response to him
2Sa 7:5 “Go and say to My servant Dawiḏ, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Would you build a house for Me to dwell in?
2Sa 7:6 “For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought the children of Yisra’ěl up from Mitsrayim, even to this day, but have moved about in a Tent and in a Dwelling Place.
Num 10:33 So they set out from the mountain of יהוה on a journey of three days. And the ark of the covenant of יהוה went before them for the three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them.
Num 10:34 And the cloud of יהוה was above them by day when they went out from the camp.
Num 10:35 And it came to be, whenever the ark set out, that Mosheh said, “Rise up, O יהוה! And let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You.”
Num 10:36 And when it rested, he said, “Return, O יהוה, to the countless thousands of Yisra’ěl.”
Isa 66:1 Thus said יהוה, “The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool. Where is this house that you build for Me? And where is this place of My rest?
Isa 66:2 “And all these My hand has made, and all these that exist,” declares יהוה. “Yet to such a one I look: on him who is poor and bruised of spirit, and who trembles at My Word
Where was Yahusha the King of kings born? In a stable. He said “Foxes have holes, birds of the air have nests but the Son of Adam has no place to rest”
Mat 8:20 And יהושע said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the heaven nests, but the Son of Aḏam has nowhere to lay His head.”
Yahusha said my kingdom is not of the world. When our Creator is in sojourning, how can we be complacent in a strange and foreign land without the Torah of life as all our fathers were. Being away from the promised land from above we are both in gar as well as tushab and there is no Shalum here on foreign soil, but we are not part of Hagar ie. The present Yerushalayim
There is Echad/One Torah for the native born and stranger
The Abary word for native born is Azrach
Azrach has root words ‘zarach’ which means dawn/rise ‘Azar’ which means ‘gird’ and ‘rach’ which means ‘travel’
‘Rise, gird yourself and travel’ No stopping until you reach the rest is the picture
Isa 62:1 For Tsiyon’s sake I am not silent, and for Yerushalayim’s sake I do not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her deliverance as a lamp that burns.
Isa 62:2 And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all sovereigns your esteem. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of יהוה designates.
Isa 62:3 And you shall be a crown of comeliness in the hand of יהוה, and a royal head-dress in the hand of your Elohim.
Isa 62:4 No longer are you called “Forsaken,” and no longer is your land called “Deserted.” But you shall be called “Ḥephtsiḇah,” and your land “Married,” for יהוה shall delight in you, and your land be married.
Exo 12:49 “There is one Torah for the native-born /AZAR and for the stranger/GAR who sojourns/HAGAR among you.”
