Was Yehoyakin 18 years or 8 years old when he became king? Is there a contradiction in 2 Kings 24:8 vs 2Chr 36:9

 2 Kings 24:8 & 2 Chr 36:9 taken at face value seems contradiction. Many bible scholars say this is a scribal copyist error and many say this is a contradiction. There is no contradiction in scripture and when we look at the surrounding evidence from scriptures we will see the amazing record Yahuah has made through his nebim for a reason. Let's begin by placing the verses below which in first blush meaning shows a contradiction.

2Ki 24:8  Yehoyaḵin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim three new moons. And his mother’s name was Neḥushta the daughter of Elnathan of Yerushalayim. 

2Ch 36:9  Yehoyaḵin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim three new moons and ten days. And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה.

To understand the mystery surrounding the record we first need to look at his father and the events surrounding his rule.

2Ki 23:36  Yehoyaqim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Zeḇiḏah the daughter of Peḏayah of Rumah. 

2Ki 23:37  And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, according to all that his fathers did. 

To understand this better we need to see that there were 3 sieges of Yerushalayim under the rule of Nebudchanazzer king of Babylon.

1. The first siege:

The first siege was during the rule of Yehoyakin's father Yehoyaqim's rule. We have 2 Kings 24:1 recording the first siege where Yehoyakin's father became a servant of king Nebudchanazzer for 3 years.

2Ki 24:1  In his days Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar sovereign of Baḇel came up, and Yehoyaqim became his servant for three years. And he turned and rebelled against him. 

Dan 1:1  In the third year of the reign of Yehoyaqim, sovereign of Yehuḏah, Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar, sovereign of Baḇel came to Yerushalayim and besieged it. 

Daniel records that this besieging happened in the 3rd year of the reign of Yehoyaqim, the father of Yehoyakin.

2Ki 23:36  Yehoyaqim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Zeḇiḏah the daughter of Peḏayah of Rumah. 

We have 2Kings 23:36 recording that Yehoyaqim ruling for 11 years, which means for 3 years he was under the oppression of king Nebudchanazzer. (2Kings 24:1). We read in 2Kings 24:1 that he was servant to king Nebudchanazzer for 3 years after which he rebelled against king Nebudchanazzer. Hence, 3rd year of his reign when Nebudchanazzer came up to take over his kingdom (Dan 1:1) plus 3 years under subjection under king Nebudchanazzer (2Kings 24:1). With a total reign of 11 years makes it 11 - 6 = 5.

We have YarmeYahu (Jeremiah) recording in the 4th year of Yehoyaqim, it was the 1st year of king Nebudchanazzer.

Jer 25:1  The word that came to Yirmeyahu concerning all the people of Yehuḏah, in the fourth year of Yehoyaqim son of Yoshiyahu, the sovereign of Yehuḏah, which was the first year of Neḇuḵaḏretstsar sovereign of Baḇel, 

Is there a contradiction here when comparing Jer 25:1 vs Daniel 1:1? No its not, as YarmeYahu (Jeremiah) records the word of Yahuah that came to him in the 4th year of Yehoyaqim which was the first year of Nebudchanzzer from a calculation as per kings of Yahudah which actually begins from the new year. This was called the accession year. Under the accession year method, if a king died or was replaced in the middle of a year, the period to the end of that year would be called the "accession year" of the new king, whose Year 1 would begin at the new year.

While Daniel who also is a Yahudite but is in Babylon tracking the time as per Babylonian method being a wise man ruler in Babylon and hence, mentions in the third year of the reign of Yehoyaqim, Nebudchanazzer came and besieged Yerushalayim. Yasharal used this method of calculation.

2. The second siege: 

2Ki 24:6  So Yehoyaqim slept with his fathers. And Yehoyaḵin his son reigned in his place. 

2Ki 24:7  And the sovereign of Mitsrayim did not come out of his land again, for the sovereign of Baḇel had taken all that belonged to the sovereign of Mitsrayim from the wadi of Mitsrayim to the River Euphrates. 

2Ki 24:8  Yehoyaḵin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim three new moons. And his mother’s name was Neḥushta the daughter of Elnathan of Yerushalayim. 

2Ki 24:9  And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה, according to all that his father did. 

2Ki 24:10  At that time the servants of Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar sovereign of Baḇel came up against Yerushalayim, and the city was besieged. 

2Ki 24:11  And Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar sovereign of Baḇel came against the city, as his servants were besieging it. 

2Ki 24:12  And Yehoyaḵin sovereign of Yehuḏah, and his mother, and his servants, and his heads, and his eunuchs went out to the sovereign of Baḇel. And the sovereign of Baḇel, in the eighth year of his reign, took him prisoner. 

We have 2King 24:12 recording that in the 8th year of king Nebudchanazzer, Yehoyakin, his mother and servants went out to surrender to king Nebudchanazzer. So, it's evident that the 3rd year of his father Yehoyaqim's reign corresponds to the 1st year of king Nebudchanazzer's reign in which Yehoyaqim became a servant to king Nebudchanazzer. 

2Kings 24:12 has to be king Nebudchanazzer's rule as Yehoyakin only ruled for 3 months in Yerushalayim. Hence, scripture is precise as 3 + 8 =11 (3rd year from Yehoyaqim rule according to Daniel 1:1 to the 8th year of king Nebudchanazzer's rule makes it 11 years of Yehoyaqim's rule and now he is dead and 3 months have passed when his son Yehoyaqin is ruling which is the 8th year of king Nebudchanazzer's rule).

2 Chron 36:9 shows us the 8th year rule when Yehoyakin ruled when the army of Nebudchanazzer's army was besieging Yerushalayim. This was a second siege and a little longer one as the king of Mitsrayim was helping him resist it. 2Kings 24:7 mentions that the king of Mitsrayim did not come out of his land again, for the sovereign of Baḇel had taken all that belonged to the sovereign of Mitsrayim from the wadi of Mitsrayim to the River Euphrates shows us the assistance provided to Yahudah by the king of Mitsrayim to resist the king of Babylon and his army. 

Now let's see the 2 Chronicles text:

2Ch 36:5 Yehoyaqim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Yerushalayim. And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה his Elohim. 

2Ch 36:6  Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar sovereign of Baḇel came up against him, and bound him in bronze shackles to take him away to Baḇel. 

2Ch 36:7  And Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar brought some of the utensils from the House of יהוה to Baḇel, and put them in his hěḵal at Baḇel. 

Dan 1:2  And יהוה gave Yehoyaqim sovereign of Yehuḏah into his hand, with some of the utensils of the House of Elohim, which he brought to the land of Shin‛ar to the house of his mighty one. And he brought the utensils into the treasure house of his mighty one. 

We have 2Chronicles 36:6 recording that king Nebudchanazzer binding Yehoqaqim in bronze shackles to take him away to Babel, it was only an intention mentioned because actually he had to be killed as prophesied by YarmeYahu dragged and thrown outside the gates of Yerushalayim. Hence, 2Chr 36:7 only records of some of the utensils from the house of Yahuah were carried to Babylon, whereas Yehoyaqim is missing in the text of being brought to Babylon which is an indication he was killed in Yerushalayim. Daniel is not saying Yehoyaqim was brought to Babylon, he is only saying Yahuah gave Yehoyaqim into his hand with some utensils of the house of Aluahym which he brought to the house of his mighty one. There is only mention of the utensils of the house of Yahuah being placed but no record of Yehoyaqim being placed which shows he is missing in the text. Hence, its obvious he was killed in Yerushalayim.

Jer 22:18  Therefore thus said יהוה concerning Yehoyaqim son of Yoshiyahu, sovereign of Yehuḏah, “Let them not lament for him: ‘Alas, my brother!’ or ‘Alas, my sister!’ Let them not lament for him: ‘Alas, master!’ or ‘Alas, his excellency!’ 

Jer 22:19  “He shall be buried – the burial-place of a donkey – dragged and thrown outside the gates of Yerushalayim. 

We have evidence in the 2 Chronicles 36 passages where it says that the king of Mitsrayim made Elyaqim the brother of Yehoahaz as king and changed his name to Yehoyaqim.

2Ch 36:1  And the people of the land took Yeho’aḥaz son of Yoshiyahu, and set him up to reign in his father’s place in Yerushalayim. 

2Ch 36:2  Yeho’aḥaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three new moons in Yerushalayim. 

2Ch 36:3  And the sovereign of Mitsrayim turned him aside in Yerushalayim, and imposed on the land a levy of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 

2Ch 36:4  And the sovereign of Mitsrayim made his brother Elyaqim sovereign over Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim, and changed his name to Yehoyaqim. And Neḵo took Yeho’aḥaz his brother and brought him to Mitsrayim. 

2Ch 36:5  Yehoyaqim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Yerushalayim. And he did evil in the eyes of יהוה his Elohim. 

Yehoyakin's rule was short as it fell during the 2nd siege of Yerushalayim in which his father was killed.

Jer 29:2  (After that Yehoyakin the king, and the queen/gebiyrah H1377, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Yerushalayim;) 

2Ki 24:8  Yehoyaḵin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim three new moons. And his mother’s name was Neḥushta the daughter of Elnathan of Yerushalayim. 

Yehoyachin's mother Nechusta is mentioned as a queen/mistress in YarmeYahu 29:2. This word gebiyrah (feminine)comes from the root word gebiyr H1376 which means 'master/lord'. This shows that she was a coherent ruler of the kingdom with her husband Yehoyaqim & later with her son Yehoyakin. In the resistance Yehoyakin and his mother the queen survived for about 3 months & 10 days in power until they went out to the king of Babylon to surrender.

3. The third siege:

2Ki 24:17  And the sovereign of Baḇel set up Mattanyah, Yehoyaḵin’s uncle, to reign in his place, and changed his name to Tsiḏqiyahu/Zedekiah. 

2Ki 24:18  Tsiḏqiyahu was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Ḥamutal the daughter of Yirmeyahu of Liḇnah. 

2Ki 25:1  And it came to be in the ninth year of his (Zedekiah's) reign, in the tenth new moon, on the tenth of the new moon, that Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar sovereign of Baḇel and all his army came against Yerushalayim and encamped against it, and they built a siege wall against it all around. 

2Ki 25:2  And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of Sovereign Tsiḏqiyahu. 

2Chr 36:13 records that Zedekiah rebelled against king Nebudchanazzer. While scripture is silent on whose help he took to rebel, the Babylonian chronicles state he allied with Pharaoh Hophra of Egypt and revolted against Babylon. How Egypt came back to power out of the hand of king of Babylon is not mentioned in scriptures but in history and this we could do later if time permits.

2Ch 36:13  And he (Zedekiah) also rebelled against Sovereign Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar, who had made him swear by Elohim, but he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ěl. 

2Ki 25:8  And in the fifth new moon, on the seventh of the new moon, which was the nineteenth year of Sovereign Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar sovereign of Baḇel, Neḇuzaraḏan the chief of the guard, a servant of the sovereign of Baḇel, came to Yerushalayim. 

It took 2 years for the besieging and capturing of Yerushalayim as 2Kings 25:1 states in the 9th year of Zedekiah's reign Nebudchanazzer and his army came to besiege it and verse 2 says the city was besieged until the 11th year.

Zedekiah ruled for 11 years (2 Kings 24:18)

Now lets do the maths:

1. 1st siege: In the 3rd year of Yehoyaqim which was the 1st year of king Nebudchanazzer, Yehoyaqim became servant of the king of Babylon for 3 years (Dan 1:1 & 2 Kings 24:1). We won't take the accession year count but the actual one. Yehoyaqim ruled for 11 years (2Kings 23:36). He rebelled against Nebudchanazzer in the 7th year of his reign with the help of king of Mitsrayim who had helped him earlier and had appointed him as king in place of his brother Yehoahaz.

Hence, 3rd year of Yehoyaqim was 1st year of Nebudchanazzer.

2. 2nd siege:  In the 8th year of king Nebudchanazzer (2Kings 24:12) which was the 11th year of Yehoyaqim, he is bound to be brought to Babylon but is killed in Yerushalayim as per YarmeYahu's prophecy. His mother the queen and Yehoyakin put up some resistance for 3 months and 10 days until they surrender to the king of Babylon and are carried captive to Babylon.

8th year of Nebudchanazzer corresponded to Yehoyakin's short rule of 3 months and 10 days which 2 Chr 36:9 says Yehoyakin was 8 years son when he began to reign. The English translates 'ben' which in Hebrew means 'son' as 'old'. What the Chronicles writer is showing us that Yehoyakin was an 8 year old son under the Babylonian captivity and not that his age was 8 years old

2Ch 36:9  Yehoyaḵin was eight years old/ben H1121 when he began to reign, and he reigned in Yerushalayim three new moons and ten days. And he did evil in the eyes of Yahuah.

This is how the Hebrew renders:

2Chr 36:9. ben/son -sh’moneh/eight shanim/years Yahuyakin/Jehoachin b’mal’ko/ in the kingdom ush’loshah/and three chadashim/months wa`asereth/and ten yamim/days malak/ruled biY’rushalam/in Yerushalayim waya`as/and he did hara/evil` b’`eyney/in the eyes of Yahúwah/Yahuah. 

Which should be translated correctly as 'Son eight years, Yahuyakin in the kingdom and three months and ten days ruled in Yerushalayim and he did evil in the eyes of Yahuah'

Hence there is no contradiction in 2Kings 24:8 vs 2 Chr 36:9 as 2Kings 24:8 mentions his actual age i.e.. 18 years when he ruled and 2 Chr 36:9 mentions his rule began in the 8th year of the king of Babylon's empire, showing a count and not an age.

3. 3rd siege: Zedekiah the brother of Yehoyaqim and uncle of Yehoyakin is made king instead by king of Babylon and he ruled 11 years in Yerushalayim. (2Kings 24:18) and he rebelled against the king of Babylon in the 19th year of the reign of Nebudchanazzer. (2Kings 25:8).

Nebudchanazzer's rule calculation:  1 (3rd year of Yehoyaqim) + 8 (11th year of Yehoyaqim and 3 months 10 days of Yehoyakin) + 11 (11 years of Zedekiah)  = 19th year of Nebudchanazzer as mentioned in 2Kings 25:8. 

All 3 times the king of Mitsrayim helped the last 3 kings of Yahudah which is why probably the reason when the king of Babylon carried all into captivity and left the poor of the land with a few rulers, these rulers wanted to flee to Mitsrayim (Egypt) and were warned by YarmeYahu by the word of Yahuah not to go up to Mitsrayim but remain in the land lest they die. They saw security in Mitsrayim.

After the Battle of Carchemish in 605 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, besieged Yerushalaym, resulting in tribute being paid by King Yehoyaqim. Yehoyaqim refused to pay tribute in Nebuchadnezzar's fourth year, which led to another siege in Nebuchadnezzar's eighth year, culminating with the death of Yehoyaqim and the exile of king Yehoyakin, his court and many others; Yehoyakin's successor Zedekiah and others were exiled in Nebuchadnezzar's nineteenth year; a later deportation occurred in Nebuchadnezzar's twenty-third year.

2Ki 25:27  And it came to be in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Yehoyaḵin/Yekonyah sovereign of Yehuḏah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, that Ewil-Meroḏaḵ sovereign of Baḇel, in the year that he began to reign, released Yehoyaḵin/Yekonyah sovereign of Yehuḏah from prison, 

2Ki 25:28  and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the sovereigns who were with him in Baḇel, 

2Ki 25:29  and changed his prison garments. And he ate bread continually before the sovereign all the days of his life. 

2Ki 25:30  And as his allowance, a continual allowance was given to him from the sovereign, a quota for each day, all the days of his life. 

Yahuah had pronounced a curse on Yehoyakin that he will die childless. In YarmeYahu he is named as Konyahu.

Jer 22:28  “Is this man Konyahu/Yehoyakin a despised broken pot, or an undesirable vessel? Why are they hurled out, he and his descendants, and cast into a land which they do not know? 

Jer 22:29  “O land, land, land! Hear the word of יהוה! 

Jer 22:30  “Thus said יהוה, ‘Write this man down as childless, a strong man who is not to prosper in his days, for none of his descendants shall prosper, sitting on the throne of Dawiḏ, or rule any more in Yehuḏah.’ ”

1Ch 3:12  Amatsyahu his son, Azaryah/Uzziyah his son, Yotham his son, 

1Ch 3:13  Aḥaz his son, Ḥizqiyahu his son, Menashsheh his son, 

1Ch 3:14  Amon his son, Yoshiyahu his son. 

1Ch 3:15  And the sons of Yoshiyahu: Yoḥanan the first-born, the second Yehoyaqim, the third Tsiḏqiyahu, the fourth Shallum. 

1Ch 3:16  And the sons of Yehoyaqim: Yeḵonyah/Yehoyakin his son and Tsiḏqiyah his son. 

1Ch 3:17  And the sons of Yeḵonyah/Yehoyakin the captive: She’alti’ĕl his son, 

The prophecy was that Yehoyakin would die childless, then why is Shealtiel who was made governor mentioned as his son?

According to Yahuah’s curse on Yehoyakin he would be destitute and none of his descendants sitting on the throne of David would prosper or rule anymore in Yahudah. Hence, this lineage couldn’t bring forth the Mashiyach. In the 2 genealogies listed some of the sons listed there are not immediate sons of their fathers but descendants. I’m listing just the portions of it to make a point

Matthew                       Luke
Yeḵonyah/Yehoyakin	Addi
	Meleḵi
	Neri
She’alti’ĕl	She’alti’ĕl
Zerubbaḇel	Zerubbaḇel

According to 1Chr 3:17 Shealtiel is the son of Yehoyakin, also, Zerubbabel is listed in both Matthew and Luke genealogy as the son of Shealtiel but is listed as the son of Pedayah, the son of Yehoyakin. 

There is no contradiction in scriptures, the scroll of Chronicles only lists the descendants who carried on their father’s name and lineage as per Torah of the dead man’s name to be kept alive or as per the chief ruler to identify the lineage, and many of them listed in Chronicles are not immediate sons. Moreover, Yehoyakin had no sons and this we can know from 2Kings 24:14-15

2Ki 24:14  And he exiled all Yerushalayim, and all the officers and all the mighty brave men – ten thousand exiles – and all the craftsmen and smiths. None remained except the poorest people of the land. 

2Ki 24:15  And he exiled Yehoyaḵin to Baḇel. And the sovereign’s mother, and the sovereign’s wives, and his eunuchs, and the leading men of the land he exiled from Yerushalayim to Baḇel. 

2Ki 24:16  And all the mighty brave men, seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths, one thousand, all who were strong and fit for battle, these the sovereign of Baḇel brought to Baḇel into exile. 

When the king of Babylon carried him away captive, there is no mention of his sons which means that 1Chr 3:17 were not his sons but borrowed sons as per Torah. Shealtiel’s father listed in Luke’s genealogy is mentioned as Neri

Luk 3:27 of Yoḥanan, of Rephayah, of Zerubbaḇel, of She’alti’ĕl, of Neri,

And this lineage is from Nathan, David’s son. A simple chart below would show how. Hence, the count post UzziYahu would be 

1. Yotham

2. Ahaz

3. HizqiYahu

4. Menashsheh

5. Amon

6. Yoshiyahu

7. Yehoyaqim ----->Yeḵoyakin -----> Shealtiel borrowed son from Neri

For details you may visit my blog and read at the note to understand the complete genealogy:

 https://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com/2017/09/understanding-genealogy-of-matthew-and.html

King Tsidqiyahu who was Yehoyakin's uncle, 2Kings 24:17 & YarmeYahu 37:1 (brother of Yehoyaqim) as king but he died childless as Nebudchanazzer killed all his sons and his nobles. Masoretic scrolls have 2 Chr 36:10 mentioning TsidqiYahu the brother of Yehoyakin (as he also had a brother by the same name) which has been corrected by TS2009, Scriptures 1998+ & Septuagint).

Jer 39:7  And he put out the eyes of Tsiḏqiyahu, and bound him with bronze shackles to bring him to Baḇel. 

With this background we can now understand why YashaYahu 6:1 says 

Isa 6:1  In the year that Sovereign Uzziyahu died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Hĕḵal. 

It would be the end of Yahudah's monarchy (end of kings) as they would make way for the King of kings Yahusha who would rule forever. Number 7 after UzziYahu shows us the perfect will of Yahuah to end the monarchy as now He Himself would rule as intended before Yasharal asking Shemuel a king to rule over them. And the King is Yahusha who is our Yahuah.

There is the purpose of Yahuah in everything He does and states in scripture. We as His children should search out the matter in comparing spiritual things with spiritual in understanding that the physical kingdom has to make way for the spiritual. While Babylon is a spiritual kingdom today which has put everyone under its tributary, the fact is Yahusha is the King of kings and we who believe in Him and His Torah of life transition into His kingdom, as some trust in chariots and some in horses (indicating Egypt) but we will trust in the name of our Yahuah who alone delivers.

Eth Chayah - Pala

 Gen18:14 Is anything/𐤃𐤁𐤓 too hard/𐤐𐤋𐤄 for Yahuah? At the appointed time/ 𐤌𐤅𐤏𐤃  I shall return/ 𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤁  to you, at the time 𐤏𐤕  of life 𐤇𐤉𐤄 , and Sarah shall have a son.

Ex34:22 You shall celebrate the Feast of Shabbatot, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 

Time of Life =Shabouth which has the root words shab/turn or return and shabu means 'His return'

Shabouth also has the root word eth which means time.

So when Yahuah told that He would return according to the time of life and Sarah will have a son, it was tied to Shabouth which is the festival of weeks. While book of Jubilees says Yitshaq was born during Shabouth, I don't endorse this book as there were no feasts yet until the Torah was given. But the time of life is related to the weeks.

Lev 23:15 ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths.

Lev 23:16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.

Today most of the Hebrew roots movement celebrates Shabouth/ Pentecost, even the Catholic’s celebrate Pentecost on the same day as per their calendar. But most won’t see that Shabouth/Pentecost is an announcement of an extraction from a jubilee pattern. Let me show you how. For this first let’s understand what comprises of a jubilee

Lev 25:8 ‘And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.

Lev 25:9 ‘You shall then sound a shophar-sound on the tenth day of the seventh new moon, on Yom ha Kippur cause a shophar to sound through all your land. Day of the Coverings or Day of Atonement.

The pattern is similar to 7 x 7 + 1 = 50

Where number 7 ties everything to the Shemitah (Sabbaths of days and years) and multiplied with 7 shows that it’s woven in showing us labor and rest, favour and judgment, beginning and an end.

Shabouth:

From the morrow after the weekly Shabbath of the Unleavened bread, the priest offers the sheaf offering from the new harvest to Yahuah which we call as first fruits. The first fruits is Yahusha ha Mashiyach and we see when he was raised from the dead on Sabbath and while He revealed Himself to Mary Magdalene who came to His grave on the early morning of morrow after the Shabbath, He told her not to touch Him for He has not yet ascended into heaven and the same evening, He told his disciples to touch Him and feel His wounds.

John 20:17 Yahusha said to her, “Do not touch Me, for I have still not ascended to My Father. Please go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My El and your El.’”

John 20:19 And it came to pass on that day, which was the first of the Shabbats, at the time of the evening, when the doors were closed in the house where the disciples were there, for fear of the Yahudim, Yahusha came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

We understand this spiritually as in the same morning the priest in the temple would offer the first fruits and He would symbolically ascend in that wave offering to fulfill Torah. Once fulfilled He could now be touched.

From this day when He revealed Himself to his disciples, as per Torah a count of 7 Shabbaths had to be taken and the morrow after that Shabbath was Shavout/Pentecost where the priest would offer a fresh grain offering which was with leaven to Yahuah.

Yahusha from the day He revealed Himself to His Talmidim remained with them 40 days and then ascended into heaven.

He commanded them to tarry in Yerushalayim for the Promise of the Ruach Ha Qodesh and they waited for another 10 days and hence, on the 50th day the Ruach Ha Qodesh descended upon the Talmidim.

Act 2:1 And when the Day of the Festival of Shaḇuʽoth had fully come, they were all with one mind in one place.

Act 1:3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for forty days, speaking concerning the reign of Elohim.

Act 1:4 And meeting with them, He commanded them not to leave Yerushalayim, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which you have heard from Me.

Lev 23:16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.

Lev 23:17 ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ěphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to יהוה.

The leaven here represents the Ruach who would make the Talmidim rise within as a witness to the risen Mashiyach Yahusha with boldness.

It’s also represents us as kind of first fruits unto Yahuah preserved in the body of sin and death until we are completely redeemed and transformed into the image and likeness of our Saviour Yahusha ha Mashiyach.

Jas 1:18 Having purposed it, He brought us forth by the Word of truth, for us to be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures.

Rom 8:23 And not only so, but even we ourselves who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

In a jubilee there were 7 Sabbatical years where 6 years sowing and reaping was allowed but the 7th year was a year of rest for the land and everyone had to eat from what grew of itself. The poor of the land, slave, free, stranger sojourning in the land etc, all had the same law of the land.

The 50th year was a release of all bond servants, lands, deeds etc as it was a jubilee.

Lev 25:11 ‘The fiftieth year is a Yoḇel to you. Do not sow, nor reap what grows of its own, nor gather from its unpruned vine.

Lev 25:12 ‘It is a Yoḇel, it is set-apart to you. Eat from the field its crops.

Lev 25:13 ‘In the Year of this Yoḇel let each one of you return to his possession.

It’s interesting to see just as Shabouth on the 50th day was a High Shabbath, the yobel/jubilee was a high Shabbath year.

A 2 days period of rest in Shavout vs a 2 years rest in Jubilee i.e. the 49th year was the 7th Shabbath year which was a Shabbath rest so no sowing and reaping plus the 50th year which was jubilee where again sowing and reaping was not allowed.

Gen 6:3 And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever in his going astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

There are a total of 120 jubilee years from Adam until Mashiyach second coming. For details on how you may read my note here:

https://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com/.../the-120-years...

Hence, we understand that each yobel had 8 Shabbaths where sowing and reaping was not allowed and all ate from what grew of itself. (49th and 50th year, just as Shabouth has the 49th day which is a Shabbath and morrow after the Shabbath the first fruits i.e. the 50th day.

7 x 7 + 1

Hence, if there are 120 jubilees, there are 8 Shabbaths in each of the jubilee and number 8 in Hebrew is ‘shemen/shamun שמונ ’ which also means’oil’ H8081, H9082 and H8083.

𐤔𐤌𐤍

The same pattern we see in Shabouth, 7 Sabbaths + 1 (50th year).

Hence, Shabouth is a woven time piece in a jubilee pattern.

120 jubilees would contain 8 Sabbath of years x 120.

There were 120 Talmidim in the upper room anointed with the shemen of the Ruach ha Qodesh on Shabouth.

Act 1:15 And in those days Kěpha, standing up in the midst of the taught ones – and there was a gathering of about a hundred and twenty – said,

Time of life: 𐤏𐤕 𐤇𐤉𐤄

Exo 19:1 In the third new moon after the children of Yisra’ěl had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, on this day they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.

Exo 19:2 For they set out from Rephiḏim, and had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Yisra’ěl camped there before the mountain.

The Ten words were given at Mt Sinai during Shabouth when actually the feast instructions were not given yet. It came later when Yasharal sinned against Yahuah by making His representation as a golden calf and worshiped. Hence, the book of the covenant came concealed in patterns which now needed to be decoded by Yasharal through the Ruach of Mashiyach who was in the prophets prophesying to them. The Ruach came hidden in the letter and tied Yasharal into a Shemitah cycle of 7’s in which the moeadim/ appointed times were woven.

When Yahuah told Abraham that He would turn and return according to the time of life, He was reiterating the time of life for mankind i.e. the 120 years in which He would be born to transition Yasharal into Himself.

While all eyes are on Yitshaq as the promised seed, Shaul says in Gal 3:16 the promised Seed was Mashiyach as singular and not seeds.

The seeds are kind of first fruits but Mashiyach is the first fruits as first born over all creation and first born from the dead and is pre-eminent in all things.

He is the Rishon Ahkaron (First and the Last) , Alaph and the Tau, Beginning and the End.

The time of life is the appointed time we look for Him and not ourselves.

He was born during Sukkoth. You may read the note here:

https://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com/.../unto-us-savior-is...

Succoth speaks of the body/Tent and Mashiyach’s body was heavenly and we will be transformed into His image and likeness.

2Co 5:2 For indeed in this we groan, longing to put on our dwelling which is from heaven,

2Co 5:3 so that, having put it on, we shall not be found naked.

2Co 5:4 For indeed, we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we wish to put it off, but to put on the other, so that what is to die might be swallowed up by life.

2Co 5:5 Now He who has prepared us for this same purpose is Elohim, who has given us the Spirit as a pledge of what is to come.

The Ruach is given to us as a pledge of what is to come. What is to come? The Transformation into the image and likeness of Mashiyach.

Yahusha spoke in parable showing us the fruitfulness of the seed in the TIME OF LIFE:

The parable of the sower had 3 seeds fallen on good soil giving a fruitful yield, thirty, sixty and hundred fold.

Mat 13:8  “And others fell on good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 

 

Mar 4:8  “And other fell on good soil and yielded a crop that came up, grew and yielded a crop, some thirtyfold, and some sixty, and some a hundred.” 

 

Luk 8:8  “And other fell on the good soil, and grew up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.” Having said this He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” 

 

Mark records the order of fruitfulness as thirty, sixty & hundredfold, while Matthew records the reverse order hundredfold, sixty & thirty. Luke records only hundredfold. There is a mystery in understanding this number. We can only understand if we see the usage of the seed in scripture indicating whose seed this is. The promise came to Abraham that his seed will be multiplied as the stars in the sky and sand on the seashore. Without tying this to Abraham, we will never be able to conclude the usage of the numbers 100, 60 & 30 anywhere else in Torah, Nebim, Kethubim and the Renewed Covenant. Let’s see how.

 

Gen 21:5  And Aḇraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitsḥaq was born to him. 

 

Gen 25:26  And afterward his brother came out, with his hand holding on to Ěsaw’s heel, so his name was called Ya‛aqoḇ. And Yitsḥaq was sixty years old when she bore them. 

 

Yitshaq’s son Yaaqob had 12 sons and the one chosen for priesthood was Levi whose seed was chosen at age thirty

 

Num 4:1  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying, 

Num 4:2  “Take a census of the sons of Qehath from among the children of Lěwi, by their clans, by their fathers’ house, 

Num 4:3  from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the Tent of Appointment. 

Num 4:4  “This is the service of the sons of Qehath in the Tent of Appointment, the most set-apart matters: 

 

The Levitical priesthood was to see a sunset when Mashiyach would come with the Malchitsedek priesthood, and the ADON would spring up from the tribe of Yahudah, a tribe never mentioned by Masha for priesthood.

 

Heb 7:14  For it is perfectly clear that our Master arose from Yehuḏah, a tribe about which Mosheh never spoke of concerning priesthood, 

 

The Malchitsedek priest Yahusha fulfilled Torah qualification of a kohen to be 30 years and above and He was that fruitful seed which emissary Shaul spoke of.

 

Luk 3:23  And when יהושע Himself began, He was about thirty years of age, being, as reckoned by law, son of Yosěph, of Ěli, 

 

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

 

Hence, we get our 100, 60 & 30 from here as stated by Matthew. Matthew shows the descent while Mark shows the progressive growth of the seed into the fullness of being the promised seed of Abraham 30, 60 & 100. Luke shows the fullness in Abraham through Mashiyach and hence, says hundredfold. 

This can also be seen in the birth of Yahuchanan the Baptist who was a descent from the Tsadok priesthood (Levi) who came preparing the way of Yahuah in the wilderness denoted by 30 as required for sons of Levi to serve from 30 years and above. He was born during Pesach. Thirty fold fruitful seed.

When Yaaqob whose name was changed to Yasharal was born, Yitshaq who was the promised seed in the SEED Mashiyach was 60 years old. Yaaqob was also born during Shabouth as Yitshaq was as we see in Gen 18:14 promise and in the word Shabouth.

Heb 11:9  By belief, he (Abraham) 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, 

Abraham was 100 years old when Yitshaq was born, whose promises were actually made for the SEED i.e. Mashiyach and we see Mashiyach was born during Succoth. The 100 years show the fullness of time and the fullness of time we saw comes during the yobel announcement during Day of Atonement. The Galatians passages shows us clearly that we are no longer slaves but a son and heir of Aluahym through Mashiyach. The yobel releases the slaves from their masters slavery.

Gal 4:4  But when the completion of the time came, Elohim sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under Torah,  Gal 4:5  to redeem those who were under Torah, in order to receive the adoption as sons.  Gal 4:6  And because you are sons, Elohim has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”  Gal 4:7  So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir of Elohim through Messiah. 

And Shabouth is time of life and all about being filled with the Ruach who within us groans for the redemption of our bodies and Succoth is being in the fullness of time being clothed from the booth from above i.e. the body of Mashiyach, in His COMPLETENESS.

Rom 8:23  And not only so, but even we ourselves who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.  Rom 8:24  For in this expectation we were saved, but expectation that is seen is not expectation, for when anyone sees, does he expect it?  Rom 8:25  And if we expect what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance.  Rom 8:26  And in the same way the Spirit does help in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray, but the Spirit Himself pleads our case for us with groanings unutterable. 

I listened to a video from a brother and it is also in a short note form where he says our 66 books don’t have the dates when the covenant were given and was reading from book of jubilees on birth of Yitshaq on 15th day of the 3rd month and his circumcision on the 22nd of the 3rd month ie. The eighth day, he shared the same for Yaaqob, then Yahudah and then came to Messiah quoting Luke 1:26 . He was saying it all happened at Shabuoth/ Pentecost just as the Torah was given to Masha on the same day. While I agree that Yitshaq and Yaaqob were born during Shabouth but the actual time of life was birth of Mashiyach as HE is the SEED and Yitshaq and Yaaqob were heirs of the same promise as firstfruits in His death and resurrection.

Luk 1:26 And in the sixth month the messenger Gaḇri’ěl was sent by Elohim to a city of Galil named Natsareth,

I had made a study on the time of birth of Mashiyach and revisited the scriptures and shared in love with him, he straight away deleted my comment and unfriended me. He now has posted on his page that he doesn’t enforce his beliefs on anyone and whether right or wrong unless Ruach guides him, he won’t change his view. This is what I see everywhere that people claiming to be Yasharal are stiff necked and won’t look up or accept correction. Let’s be honest, if someone shares his belief on a matter , he won’t even discuss an objection when shown from scriptures? This is the state i see among everyone today. Here is what I wrote to him when he said Messiah was born 3/15 and circumcised 3/22 based on Luke 1:26:

Luk 1:23 And it came to be, as soon as the days of his service were completed, he went away to his house.

Luk 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisheḇa conceived. And she hid herself five months, saying,

Luk 1:25 “יהוה has done this for me, in the days when He looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.”

ZacharYah was from the 8th division of AbiYah, and the announcement of Yahuchanan the immerser came to him when he stood in his division during Shabuoth/Pentecost in the haykal/temple. Each division is one one week ie. Sabbath to Sabbath. A simple maths would show his 8th division fell in the third month.

The 8th division falls exactly one week before Shabouth but he couldn't change his priestly division yet as during Shabuoth all priests have to be serving in the temple irrespective of their lots/ranks/divisions allotted to them because it was a Pilgrim feast and thousands of Yahudites would arrive at Yerushalayim with their offerings from all over the world (as Torah said 3 times a year every male should appear before Me).

Luk 1:5 There was in the days of Herodes, the sovereign of Yehuḏah, a certain priest named Zaḵaryah, of the division of Aḇiyah. And his wife was of the daughters of Aharon, and her name was Elisheḇa.

Elisheba hid herself five months and in the sixth month of her pregnancy the angel Gabriel was sent to Miryam, a virgin espoused to Yoseph.

Luk 1:26 And in the sixth month the messenger Gaḇri’ĕl was sent by Elohim to a city of Galil named Natsareth,

Luk 1:27 to a maiden engaged to a man whose name was Yosĕph, of the house of Dawiḏ. And the maiden’s name was Miryam.

Zackaryah went back home completing his division in third week of Sivan and considering Elizabeth conceived late in Sivan i.e., the third month, we count six months from there we arrive at Tevet i.e., the month December in our Solar calendar when the angel Gabriel was sent to Miriyam to announce the birth of the Son of the Most high Aluahym.

Luk 1:36 “And see, Elizabeth your relative, she has also conceived a son in her old age. And this is now the sixth month to her who was called barren,

He teaches that Yahusha was born in the 3rd month and 15th day based on Luke 1:26 taken in isolation which says 'And it came to pass in the sixth month'. He interprets the 6th month to mean 6th month from Abib and hence says Yahusha was born during Shabouth/Pentecost as the 9th month falls exactly during Shabouth, and that's when Yahuah gave Torah to Yasharal at Mt. Sinai.

Luke1:26 And it came to pass in the sixth month Elohim sent the messenger Gabri’El to the Galil, to a certain city named Netsareth,

While Yahuah did give the Torah in the 3rd month at Shabouth/Pentecost (when the feast was actually not started), taking the verse out of context when it pertains to birth of Yahusha is incorrect exegesis. We need to read the entire passages.

Luke1:24 And it came to pass after these days Elisheba his wife conceived and she kept herself hidden for five months (until Kislev; November) and she said,

Luke1:25 “Thus Yahuah has dealt with me in the days that He took note of me, to gather up my disgrace from the sons of men.”

Luke1:26 And it came to pass in the sixth month (Tevet: December (6th month from Elizabeth's pregnancy) Elohim sent the messenger Gabri’El to the Galil, to a certain city named Netsareth,

Luke 1:36 “And behold, your relative Elisheba, whom she was called barren, she is also conceived to give a son in her old age. This is the sixth month with her.”

Kindly re-read Luk 1:36 to see the tie up to verse 26 of Luke 1

ZacharYah's AbiYah division ended with the feast of Shabouth/Pentecost & Elizabeth hid herself 5 months i.e., until November which is Kislev and the angel Gabriel was sent to Miriam in the 6th month of Elizabeth's pregnancy and not the 6th month from Abib. He was sent in Tevet i.e., December.

Miriam went in haste it says which shows, her visit to Elizabeth was imminent. Moreover, the angel told her that this was the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy. Hence, the sixth month has to be understood from Elizabeth's pregnancy and not from Abib the first month.

Luke1:39 And Miryam stood up in these days and went with haste to the hill country, to a city of Yahudah.

Luke1:40 and she entered the house of ZakarYah and blessed Elisheba.

Luke1:41 And it came to pass when Elisheba heard Miryam’s blessing, the baby leaped in her womb and Elisheba was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Now it's easy to determine the birth of Yahuchanan as well as Yahusha ha Mashiyach. Counting 9 months from late Sivan we arrive at 1 Abib/Nisan the month when Yahuchanan was born around Passover and counting 9th months from Tevet i.e., December we come to the birth of Yahusha ha Mashiyach during Succoth in the month Tisheri which corresponds to September/October.

The fact that Yahuchanan the Immerser had to be a Natsari (Nazarene) from his birth ties up to being born during the feast of Passover & Unleavened Bread where all leaven is removed from the houses. And Yahusha was accused of eating and drinking.

Matt 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”

Sukkot is a feast of rejoicing, eating and drinking. See how this all ties up

There was no inn where they could find because again this was a Pilgrim feast with all Yahudites coming to Yerushalayim as commanded.

The 30-60-100 seed progression shows progression from Levitical priesthood-Yaaqob- Mashiyach:

Mar 4:8  “And other fell on good soil and yielded a crop that came up, grew and yielded a crop, some thirtyfold, and some sixty, and some a hundred.” 

The Transition to the fullness of Mashiyach:

Levi-Yahuchanan the Immerser (age 30 when Levi to start the service but now not in the Yahudite temple, which was an indication of transition of priesthood to Malchitsedek) to Yaaqob who was a type of Malchitsedek priest (Yaaqob was born when Yitshaq was 60 years old during Shabouth as he was a heir of the same promise) to Yitshaq when Abraham was 100 years old who also was born during Shabouth. While the promises made seemed to be to Yitshaq but it was actually Mashiyach by decree, the Promised SEED who would descend in the Heavenly succoth (body).

The 100-60-30 by Matthew shows a fulfillment i.e. Mashiyach-Yaaqob- Levi:

Mat 13:8  “And others fell on good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 

He would come as a High priest being in fullness of time denoted by 100 through the lineage of Abraham (who was 100 years when Yitshaq was born) through Yasharal (Yaaqob's changed name which means AL prevails) who was born when Yitshaq was 60 years old) and a High Priest Malchitsedek being 30 years of age to bring the radical change of transitioning all those who believe in Him to the Malchitsedek priesthood and will end the Levitical priesthood.  

Coming back to the Shemitah pattern. The jubilee was announced on the 10th day of the 7th month in the 49th year during the feast of Atonement.

Lev 25:9 ‘You shall then sound a shophar-sound on the tenth day of the seventh new moon, on Yom ha Kippur cause a shophar to sound through all your land.

Lev 25:10 ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Yobel for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.

The Day of Atonement marks the atonement made for Yasharal at the mikhpad altar, the exact same place where Yahusha died. He is the Adam Parah ( Red heifer)

Num 19:2 “This is a law of the Torah which יהוה has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Yisra’ěl, that they bring you a red (Adam H122) heifer (parah H6510) אדם ףרה, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish and on which a yoke has never come.

𐤀𐤃𐤌 𐤐𐤓𐤄

The word parah also means to be fruitful. He is the Adam fruitful denoted as the 100 fold Seed and 1Corn 15:45 he is termed as last Adam a life giving Ruach.

The 10th day of the 7th month is a preparation to enter into His rest by being transformed into His body through the Torah of life.

And Succoth is five days from the day of Atonement/ Yom Kippur as the jubilee is announced on the Day of Atonement in the year of release and 5 days which is related to Torah completion. The announcement that the bridegroom is coming to the virgins is related to the announcement of the jubilee. The 8th Sabbatical year which ushers the talmidim to eternity as the shemen which is the Ruach filling is in consummation of the covenant.

Hence, that is the time of life we need to look towards and we have received the earnest of the Ruach and groan to be clothed from above. While there are those who teach that Yitshaq, Yaaqob, Yahudah were born on day of Shabouth based on book of Jubilees and the time of life is interpreted as Shabouth which is true but we needn't go into other non cannonical books to see this, we see evidence from scriptures itself that we received earnest of the Ruach at Shabouth, the ten words came written on our hearts to groan to be transformed into His image. He is the one to consummate the covenant.

The words of the covenant received at Shabouth came with the gadul qol(magnificent voice) of Yahuah among the qolot/ voices, it’s important we hear that voice/qol as the journey towards the promised land (Heavenly Yerushalayim) becomes more earnest as we desire to be clothed from above. There remains a rest for the people of Yahuah.

We are in the extract of a cycle from a completed cycle as scriptures say, the works were finished from the foundation of this world. Yahuah already rested on the 7th day. The Shemitah in His purpose is COMPLETE in Mashiyach, a body He took and is glorified, He has given us that earnest to be transitioned and transformed into His body.

I ask you folks doing the literal feasts a question: When an extract is from a completed cycle, why are you in a rotating cycle of a repeat witness and not transitioning into Mashiyach? The rotation cycle is related to the land while a completed cycle is related to Yahusha ha Mashiyach Himself.

Are you in the land? This Shabouth what did you offer Yahuah. Isn’t Shabouth a pilgrim or a sojourners festival which shows Yahuah is waiting for us in New Yersushalayim where we are to appear?

Heb 11:13 In belief all these died, not having received the promises, but seeing them from a distance, welcomed and embraced them, and confessed that they were aliens and strangers on the earth.

Heb 11:14 For those who speak this way make it clear that they seek a fatherland.

Heb 11:15 And yet, if they had indeed kept remembering that place from which they had come out, they would have had the chance to return.

Heb 11:16 But now they long for a better place, that is, a heavenly. Therefore Elohim is not ashamed to be called their Elohim, for He has prepared a city for them.

Pala: 𐤐𐤋𐤀

Pala in the mirror effect is the ALAPH H502 & 503 which means bring forth thousands

Dabar: 𐤃𐤁𐤓

Dabar in mirror effect is 'rabad' H7234 which means 'spread out' just as the sower threw the seeds i.e. they were spread out to bring forth the 30,60 & 100 fold in order into the fullness of Mashiyach.

and when Yahuah told Abraham "Is Dabar: 𐤃𐤁𐤓 Pala: 𐤐𐤋𐤀 too amazing to Yahuah?" He was indicating nothing is impossible for Him but what He is going to do is amazing in our eyes just as He did to Manoah and his wife

Jdg 13:16  And the Messenger of יהוה said to Manowaḥ, “Though you detain Me, I do not eat your food. But if you offer an ascending offering, offer it to יהוה.” For Manowaḥ did not know He was a Messenger of יהוה.  Jdg 13:17  Then Manowaḥ said to the Messenger of יהוה, “What is Your name? When Your words come true, then we shall esteem You.”  Jdg 13:18  And the Messenger of יהוה said to him, “Why do you ask My name, since it is wondrous/palay 𐤐𐤋𐤀𐤉?”  Jdg 13:19  And Manowaḥ took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to יהוה. And He did wondrously/pala 𐤐𐤋𐤀 H6381 while Manowaḥ and his wife looked on. 

Jdg 13:20  And it came to be, as the flame went up toward the heavens from the slaughter-place, that the Messenger of יהוה went up in the flame of the slaughter-place. And Manowaḥ and his wife were watching, and they fell on their faces to the ground. 

The Messenger of Yahuah said His name is wondrous/palay and pala with a suffix yod means "My wonder" . He showed the wonder/pala in ascending in the fire of the slaughter and the grain offering. The announcement of Shimshon H8123 which means sunlight, a Nazarene by birth with no strong drink or leaven to consume ties up with Yahuchanan the Immerser with a similar Nazarene vow to be observed. One a Danite and Dan means 'Judge' and one a 'Levi' which means 'Enjoin' both fulfilled by Yahusha who is Yahuah our Deliverer.

Psa 118:22  The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief corner-stone. Psa 118:23  This was from יהוה, It is marvellous/pala 𐤐𐤋𐤀 H6381 in our eyes. 

Psa 118:24  This is the day יהוה has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it. 

Mat 21:42  יהושע said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner-stone. This was from יהוה, and it is marvellous in our eyes’? Psa_118:22-23.  Mat 21:43  “Because of this I say to you: the reign of Elohim shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it. 

At the appointed time/ 𐤌𐤅𐤏𐤃  I shall return/ 𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤁  to you, at the time 𐤏𐤕  of life 𐤇𐤉𐤄 , and Sarah shall have a son.

Sarah H8283 means princess. Remember her name was Sarai and Abraham's Abram. When Abraham was given the covenant of circumcision Yahuah changed Sarai's name to Sarah (gave her a Ha) and Abram to Abraham (gave him a Ha) and by the hand/yod and cutting tool/uau which is His name Yod Ha Uau Ha to bring forth the Promised Seed post the circumcision made without hands. The appointed time/moed is the same word used for the appointed times in Leviticus 23. 

Shalum to all those in the ancient path, Shalum returns back to me for those who don’t see Yahusha as their destination and He is Yahuah Himself who sojourns with us by His Ruach who dwells within us.
