Magillah Saphar

Psa 40:6  Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my ears; Ascending offering and sin offering You did not ask for 

Psa 40:7  Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me. 

Psa 40:8  I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim, And Your Torah is within my heart

Psalms 40 is a song of David handed over to the chief musician.

H5329 Natsach 𐤍𐤑𐤇: musician, set, overseer, excel, oversee, perpetual

Daud/David had appointed some of the Levites to serve before the ark when they brought the ark of the testimony from the house of Obed-Edom

1Ch 16:4  And he appointed some of the Lĕwites to serve before the ark of יהוה, to bring to remembrance, and to thank, and to praise יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl: 

1Ch 16:5  Asaph the chief, and his second Zeḵaryah, Yeʽi’ĕl, and Shemiramoth, and Yeḥi’ĕl, and Mattithyah, and Eliyaḇ, and Benayahu, and Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom, and Yeʽi’ĕl, with harps and lyres, but Asaph was sounding with cymbals;

Asaph was appointed as the chief among the musicians. The Psalms 'la manatsach biN’ginoth miz’mor l’Dawid' and many Psalms which says 'To the chief musician/overseer' were Psalms handed over to Asaph to regulate the singing and melody of it as sung by the appointed musicians and singers.

1Ch 16:7  And on that day Dawiḏ first gave thanks to יהוה by the hand of Asaph and his brothers: 

Asaph was not only the chief overseer but also a prophet which is why Daud may have appointed him as the overseer of all the Levites attending to making music unto Yahuah so much as so that even Daud who was one of the singers and writers of the song dedicated the songs he sung and wrote to the chief overseer.

2Ch 29:30  And Sovereign Ḥizqiyahu and the rulers ordered the Lĕwites to sing praise to יהוה with the words of Dawiḏ and of Asaph the seer/chozeh 𐤇𐤆𐤄 H2374 . And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped. 

Chozeh means a Beholder in vision/ a seer or gazer. Now an overseer is not the recipient of worship just as the overseers in the assemblies in the Brit Chadashah/New Testament were not owners of the assembly but servants of the assembly in guarding the flock against wolves. Similarly, Asaph as an overseer was guarding the ministry of overseeing the melody and praises to Yahuah in the way it was revealed to the singer/musician attending before the ark.

The Overseer and bishop of our souls is Mashiyach who is the Adonay and through his name the psalms, hyms and spiritual songs melody is made.

Eph 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms/tahaluth and hymns/tashbachut and spiritual/ruachnayuth songs/shayaryuth, singing and making melody/zamru with your heart to my Master/Adonay;  
Eph 5:20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Master Yahusha the Mashiyach to Elohim, and our Father; 

The new covenant came written on our hearts and hence Shaul the emissary says to make the melody/zamar with our heart to Yahusha our Adonay. This clearly shows the focus of our worship is Yahusha and through him the tahalayam/Psalms automatically ascends to Alahym in the order as designed.

1Co 1:2  to the assembly of Elohim which is at Corinth, to those who are set-apart in Messiah יהושע, called set-apart ones, with all those calling on the Name of יהושע Messiah our Master/Adoneynu in every place, theirs and ours

Asaph the natsach/overseer stood in a ministry praising Yahusha who is our Yahuah (who alone is the melody and the recipient of our worship)

1Ch 6:31  And these are the men whom Dawiḏ appointed over the service of song in the House of יהוה, after the ark came to rest. 
1Ch 6:32  And they were rendering service in song before the dwelling place of the Tent of Meeting, until Shelomoh had built the House of יהוה in Yerushalayim, and they performed their duties according to their ruling. 
1Ch 6:33  And these are the ones who stood with their sons: Of the sons of the Qehathites were Hĕman the singer, son of Yo’ĕl, son of Shemu’ĕl, .........
........1Ch 6:38  son of Yitshar, son of Qehath, son of Lĕwi, son of Yisra’ĕl. 
1Ch 6:39  And his brother Asaph, who stood at his right hand, was Asaph son of Bereḵyahu, son of Shimʽa,

Asaph stood at the right hand of his brothers the Levites over the service of song in the House of יהוה, after the ark came to rest. 

The name Asaph means ''Gatherer/Collector 𐤀𐤎𐤐''. Please look up Strong's H622. With this background we must see our Savior Yahusha Ha Mashiyach as the gatherer as the Psalms says 

Psa 40:9  I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness, In the great assembly; See, I do not restrain my lips, O יהוה, You know. 

And Shaul the emissary speaking of Mashiyach confirms this in Hebrews 2

Heb 2:12  saying, “I shall announce Your Name to My brothers, in the midst of the congregation I shall sing praise to You.”

Psa 22:22  I make known Your Name to My brothers; In the midst of the assembly I praise You. 

A first blush shallow and a carnal mind would see Yahusha standing before the throne or in an assembly singing praises to Yahuah who is seated on the throne. Its David here who is standing in ministering singing the Psalms, making melody to Yahusha and handing over that melody to the natsach/chief musician to gather the melody for a repurpose/reuse of that song when the assembly gathers on Shabbath/Feast day/worship day. Yahusha is the recipient of the worship as Shaul says Eph 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms/tahaluth and hymns/tashbachut and spiritual/ruachnayuth songs/shayaryuth, singing and making melody/zamru with your heart to my Master/Adonay;  

Who is the Master/Adon? Yahusha.

With this background now lets look at Psalms 40:6-8:

The word of prophecy declares the heart of Yahuah that He did not desire sacrifice and offering but He opened the hearing of as the one being spoken of

Psa 40:6  Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my hearing/H241 𐤀𐤆𐤍𐤉𐤌; Ascending offering and sin offering You did not ask for

Azan is the broad ear for picking up sounds. While the dispute is that Masoretes text uses the word 'azanayam' while the Septuagint uses 'body' which Shaul also mentions in Hebrews 10:5, in either case the utterance is in words of prophecy & pre Torah i.e. before Torah came written.

Heb 10:5  Therefore, coming into the world, He says, “Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me. 
Heb 10:6  “In ascending offerings and offerings for sin You did not delight. 
Heb 10:7  “Then I said, ‘See, I come – in the roll of the scroll it has been written concerning Me – to do Your desire, O Elohim.’ 

Shaul the emissary quoting Psalms 40:6-8 says "Therefore coming into the world, He says..." It doesn't mean that the words were repeated when Yahusha came into the world, what it means is these 'words of prophecy' were in reference of Him coming into the world to find its fulfillment. Hence, understanding 'roll of the scroll' in verse 7 is very important. 

Psa 40:7  Then I said, “See, I have come; In the roll of the scroll it is prescribed for me. 

𐤌𐤂𐤋𐤕 𐤎𐤐𐤓 Magalath saphar: The word 'magalah' 𐤌𐤂𐤋𐤄 H4039 is used 21 times in the OT & is translated as 'roll' and comes from the root word 'galal' 𐤂𐤋𐤋 H1556

This 'roll of the scroll', Ezekiel was told to eat. The word 'scroll' 𐤎𐤐𐤓 saphar H5162, H5608 is a primitive root; properly to score with a mark as a tally or record, that is, (by implication) to inscribe, and also to enumerate; intensively to recount, that is, celebrate: - commune, (ac-) count, declare, number, + penknife, reckon, scribe, shew forth, speak, talk, tell (out), writer.

This word is a root word translated as 'sapphire' 𐤎𐤐𐤉𐤓 H5601 which is a royal blue precious stone & the 5th stone in the kahan ha gadul's/High Priest's breastplate, where number 5 stands for Torah. 

Exo 28:21  “And the stones are according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ěl, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name, for the twelve tribes. 

While the tribe associated with each stone in its order is not mentioned we can get a clue from the appearance of Yahusha to Masha, Aharon & his sons & the 70 elders of Yasharal. The Master sprang forth from Yahudah the tribe which Masha never spoke of priesthood. And in Exo 24 we see Yahusha being present at the covenant meal with Masha, Aharon and his sons & the 70 heads of Yasharal.

Exo 24:10  and they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ěl, and under His feet like a paved work of sapphire stone/𐤎𐤐𐤉𐤓 H5601 , and like the bones/etsem 𐤏𐤑𐤌 H6106 of heavens for purifyng/tahar 𐤈𐤄𐤓 H2892. 

etsem 𐤏𐤑𐤌 H6105 also means mighty (-ier), be more, shut, be (-come, make) strong (-er)

Heb 9:22  And, according to the Torah, almost all is cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 

Heb 9:23  It was necessary, then, that the copies of the heavenly ones should be purified/taharu  𐤈𐤄𐤓𐤅 with these, but the heavenly ones themselves be cleansed/taharu 𐤈𐤄𐤓𐤅with better slaughter offerings than these. 

I have touched based in my videos 'Enclosed in the womb' on the purification of the words in the heavens which is denoted by the the 'damyunay' 𐤃𐤌𐤉𐤅𐤍𐤉 where 'dam' means 'blood', 'yunah' means 'dove', 'damay' means 'silent', 'man' means 'portion'

The picture is of Yahuah in Himself held the pattern of purification which came as words uttered in words of prophecy which came later written/kathub on stones and in the heart in the New Covenant about His transition as Yahusha.The word 'Tahar' has deep spiritual meaning.

𐤈 The letter 'Tet' has deep spiritual pictures. Its like a basket 'holding some secret to be unfolded'. Tet is also like a wheel moving forward in time. It also if broken down shows us

𐤏𐤕 Eth: Time

𐤄𐤓 H2022 is a Hill/High place

Hence, 'Tahar' 𐤈𐤄𐤓 shows us the elevation of the wheels.

'Tahar 𐤈𐤄𐤓  also shows us Mount of Olives (a mountain or hill and in Hebrew the word for mountain or hill is 'har 𐤄𐤓' and the letter 'Tet' when opened up in its time 'eth' 𐤏𐤕 will lead the wheels to the mountain top where Mashiyach Yahusha would be impaled to enable us understand why the words of the covenant were given on the mountain 

In my note 'The Imagery of the Cherubims and their Significance' I have touched based on the reflection of the esteem of Yahusha who is Yahuah transitioned, depicting His attributes prophetically as the heavenly pattern concealed in HIM. And we see in Psalms it says Yahuah rode upon a 'cherub' as appeared in the OT.

Psa 18:10  And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind. 

Eze 1:19  And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 

Eze 1:20  Wherever the spirit was to go, they went, because there the spirit went. And the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit/ruach H7307 of the living creatures was in the wheels.

Eze 10:12  And their entire bodies, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were covered with eyes all around. 

Eze 10:13  The wheels were called in my hearing, “Wheel/galgal 𐤂𐤋𐤂𐤋 H1534.” 

The imagery in Ezekiel speaks of Yahuah's esteem ascending up from the physical haykal and seeking a resting place, the wheels move forward to a direction which Ezekiel says were called in his hearing 'galgal'. Where was Yahusha impaled?

Mat 27:32  And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Shim‛on by name – they compelled him to bear His stake. 
Mat 27:33  And when they came to a place called Golgotha/𐤂𐤋𐤂𐤋𐤕𐤀, that is to say, Place of a Skull/𐤂𐤋𐤂𐤋𐤕,

The word 'gal' 𐤂𐤋 we saw rooted in 'magalah' 𐤌𐤂𐤋𐤄 H4039. Gal 𐤂𐤋  is something that is round or a second time around of a time or event. 'Mah' 𐤌𐤄 is a water body and the picture is of the waves rounded for swirling in the ocean of the depths of the deep things of Yahusha.

Galgal is also like the two wheels in an image as letter Tet in Paleo Hebrew is like a basket or vessel holding a mystery in it. Hence, when we decode from the word 'Tahar' and see a repetition of the word gal gal, we immediately see the wheels of the cherub in which was their Spirit/Ruach  𐤈𐤈 moving in a direction of where? TA 𐤕𐤀

GalGalAT: Golgotha/𐤂𐤋𐤂𐤋  𐤕𐤀

9 times in Ezekiel 40 Alauahym uses the word 'TA' 𐤕𐤀 for little chambers and shows the dimensions of it as measured by the Messenger whose appearance was as Bronze. You may read it in Eze 40:7,10,12,13,16,21,29,33,36.

While the Aleph Tau 𐤀𐤕 shows the span of who is marked by distinguishing the natural from the spiritual and cannot be measured the Tau Alaph 𐤕𐤀 shows the bringing back of that marked span into measuring and gathering them back.

𐤂𐤋𐤂𐤋𐤕 galgalath H1538 which means head/skull has the root word ‘galath/galuth 𐤂𐤋𐤅𐤕 H1546’ which means ‘captivity’ and shows us the carrying back/galuth of the captivity of Yasharal who were driven away with a certificate of divorce back in a transition through His New Creation Order as Yahusha. Yahusha was impaled at Galgaltha/𐤂𐤋𐤂𐤋𐤕𐤀 which is called ‘Place of the Skull’ where the price was paid for every head/skull 𐤂𐤋𐤂𐤋𐤕 H1538

The heart is like the little chamber where Messiah seeks to dwell, the desire of the heart shows what is in that little chamber, just as He as the recorder had in His heart the words of the covenant. These words came written on our hearts by the Ruach in the New Covenant which as time passes and it unfolds to us.

2Cor4:6 For Aluahym, who said, Light shall shine out of darkness, is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of Aluahym in the face of the Mashiyach.
2Cor4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power shall be of Aluahym and not from ourselves 

Aleph Tau 𐤀𐤕 is the mark showing the love of the Creator through his eternal purpose of his journey to the stake to be nailed and the Tau Aleph 𐤕𐤀 shows the journey of a response of a heart to that love from the Stake where the Head/Leader is nailed.

That's where in the hearing Ezekiel heard 'galgal' which is translated as 'wheels'. The picto graph we saw for the wheels is 𐤈𐤈 and the letter Tet in depicted in ancient paleo Hebrew as 𐤈 and the letter separated as opened up shows us 𐤏𐤕 which in Hebrew means 'time' and since GalGal is translated as wheels, the wheels in a chariot fashioned would be 𐤈𐤈

Time Times 𐤈𐤈 = Eth Eth 𐤏𐤕 𐤏𐤕 and the dividing of this time is seen in the TA 𐤕𐤀 which is the heart. This is the entire time when the dabar becomes flesh and dwells among us to be the roll of the scroll in our hearts. 

𐤎𐤐𐤓 :  Saph H5592 𐤎𐤐 means a container/vessel like a bason/cup/bowl/threshold of the door

Exo 12:22  “And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin/sap 𐤎𐤐 H5592, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin/sap 𐤎𐤐 H5592, and you, none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 

Masha/Moses dipped the hyssop in the blood and sprinkled the book and the people. The word for basin differs in Exo 24:6 because the elements changed. Remember, the book of Exodus is not written in chronology and the parallel verses in Hebrew 9 shows that this book was the book of the LAW/TORAH which had the Covenant concealed.

Exo 24:6  And Mosheh took half the blood and put it in basins/agan 𐤀𐤂𐤍 H101 , and half the blood he sprinkled on the slaughter-place. 

Exo 24:7  And he took the SCROLL/H5612 Saphar 𐤎𐤐𐤓 of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that יהוה has spoken we shall do, and obey.” 

Exo 24:8  And Mosheh took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “See, the blood of the covenant which יהוה has made with you concerning all these Words.” 

Heb 9:19 For, after all, every commandment had been spoken/saphar 𐤎𐤐𐤓 by Mosheh to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled upon the scroll itself and upon all the people,

Heb 9:20  saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which Elohim commanded you.

Heb 9:21  And in the same way he sprinkled with blood both the Tent and all the vessels of the service. 

The word agan 𐤀𐤂𐤍 H101 translated as 'basin' in Exo 24:6 has the root word 'gan 𐤂𐤍' which means 'garden' 

The word is broken as 'AN 𐤀𐤍’  H575 which means 'where is' as in a search for a place and that place is the 'gan 𐤂𐤍' which means 'garden'. Its pointing to where the garden is in which is the tree of life.

Rev2:7 “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, I shall grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the GARDEN/gan 𐤂𐤍 of Elohim.”

Son 4:16 Awake, O north wind; and come, you southwind; blow upon my garden, that the aromatics may flow out. My darling shall come into his garden/gan 𐤂𐤍 H1588, and he shall eat his fine fruits.

Son 6:2 My darling is gone down into his garden/gan 𐤂𐤍 H1588, to the beds of spices, to graze in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

So, when Masha/Moses put the blood in the basin/Agan 𐤀𐤂𐤍 H101, the blood of bulls and calves could never take away sin and hence the vessel (basin) pointed to Yahusha who alone has the right to give to eat from the tree of life by His One sacrifice. Remember, we read "Sacrifice and Offering You did not desire but a body You have prepared for Me"

Shaul to the Hebrews says Masha/Moses 'spoke/saphar 𐤎𐤐𐤓' the commandments and we saw the word saphar rooted in sapphire which is the royal stone and also depicts the royal law. Actually the words of the covenant he heard were recorded in a SCROLL/Saphar 𐤎𐤐𐤓 but it never reached the people due to the golden calf sin. The commandments he 'saphar/spoke 𐤎𐤐𐤓' was the Torah of Sin and Death which had in it concealed the words of the covenant . While the roll of the scroll went inside the ark of the covenant and the Ruach of prophecy tells us what was inside the ark for no man or even the high priest could peep inside the ark, the Ruach of Messiah also tells us what was written concerning the transition of Yahuah to Yahusha as it says "A Body you have prepared for me"

1Ki8:9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Mosheh put there at Choreb, where Yahuah made a covenant with the sons of Yisra’El, when they came out of the land of Mitsrayim.

So who is witnessing what was inside the ark? The Ruach through the prophecy. Who could peep inside to what was in it? None expect the Ruach of Yahusha who testified beforehand of His sufferings and His esteem. 

Psa 40:6  Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my hearing/azanyam 𐤀𐤆𐤍𐤉𐤌 H241 ; Ascending offering and sin offering You did not ask for.  

Psa 40:7  Then I said, “See, I have come; In the roll of the scroll   𐤌𐤂𐤋𐤄 𐤎𐤐𐤓 (magillah saphar)  it is written about me. 

Psa 40:8  I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim, And Your Torah is within my heart.

Similarly, the 'Magillah Saphar 𐤌𐤂𐤋𐤄 𐤎𐤐𐤓' is in reference to the book of the Covenant which was inside the ark which had plain words written about Yahusha but also came concealed in the elements of the Torah of sin and death (after the golden calf sin) which was a school master to lead one to Mashiyach Yahusha. Hence, Psalms 40:6 says "...You have opened my hearing/azanyam 𐤀𐤆𐤍𐤉𐤌 H241'

" And your Torah is within my heart"  Psalms 40:8 shows that it was in 'THE BODY OF MASHIYACH IN WHOSE HEART IT WAS WITHIN' and He would be the One teaching us the words of the covenant plainly. Hence, Shaul the apostle with the further Ruach understanding writes "A Body you have prepared for Me". This shows us the Recorded version was within the ark and the Recorder who is Yahusha had all those words within His heart which He would teach His chosen people leading them to His body which was the Tent made without hands and from above.

Remember, when He spoke to the crowds, He spoke in parables but privately with His disciples He spoke plainly.

Matt13:10 And the disciples approached Him and said, “Why is it that You speak to them in parables?”

Matt13:11 And He answered and said, “Because to you it is given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not given.”

The only thing concealed from his disciples was His transition and they wouldn't understand it until He was glorified.

John16:25 “I have spoken these things to you in parables, but the hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in parables. Rather, I shall speak to you clearly regarding My Father.”

Rev 11:19  And the Temple of Elohim was opened in the heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His Temple. And there came to be lightnings, and voices/qoloth 𐤒𐤋𐤅𐤕, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. 

While the temple of Alahym was opened in the heaven, and we know that the Tent or Temple is Yahusha's body,  the ark of His covenant was seen in the temple but the words wouldn't be revealed to everyone as there were voices/qoloth 𐤒𐤋𐤅𐤕 and only the remnant will be able to hear the still small voice/qol 𐤒𐤋.

Joh 2:19  יהושע answered and said to them, “Destroy this Temple (physical), and in three days I shall raise it (His Body).” 

Joh 2:20  Then the Yehuḏim said, “It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and You are going to raise it in three days?” 

Joh 2:21  But He spoke about the Temple of His body.

 We return to Masha/Moses when he read out to the people and then sprinkled the blood both the written scroll and the people and the tent and the vessels of the ministry from the basin/agan which had concealed the words leading to the tree of life, we further see evidence in the next verses on the purification of the words in the heavens which is denoted by the word 'damyunay' 𐤃𐤌𐤉𐤅𐤍𐤉 where 'dam 𐤃𐤌' means 'blood', 'yunah 𐤉𐤅𐤍𐤄 ' means 'dove ', 'damay 𐤃𐤌𐤉' means 'silent', 'man 𐤌𐤍' means 'portion' i.e. the picture is of Yahusha in Himself held the pattern of purification which came as words uttered in words of prophecy which came later written/kathub on scroll and written in the heart. We saw the word 'Tahar' in it's deep spiritual meaning. 

Saphar: Saph Phar 

Saph 𐤎𐤐 also means lips

𐤐𐤓 Phar means 'Bull' and is the sacrificial animal in Torah. It is also a root word in Ephraim and Aphar which means 'fruitfulness' 

Hos 14:2  Take words/dabar with you, and return/shub to יהוה. Say to Him, “Take away all crookedness, and accept what is good, and we render the bulls/par 𐤐𐤓 H6499  of our lips/sapah 𐤎𐤐𐤄 H8193.

Heb 13:15  Through Him then, let us continually offer up a slaughter offering of praise to Elohim, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name.

The imagery:

Rev 4:2  And immediately I came to be in the Spirit and saw a throne set in the heaven, and One sat on the throne. 

Rev 4:3  And He who sat there was like a jasper and a ruby stone in appearance. And there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. 

Jasper is the last precious stone in the high priest breastplate and ruby is the first precious stone in the high priest breastplate

Exo 28:17  “And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row is a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald; 

Exo 28:18  and the second row is a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 

Exo 28:19  and the third row is a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 

Exo 28:20  and the fourth row is a beryl, and a shoham, and a jasper. They are set in gold settings. 

Ruby 𐤀𐤃𐤌 same spelling for Adam. 1 Corin 15: 45 And so it has been written, “The first man Aḏam became a living being,” the last Aḏam a life-giving Spirit

Sapphire 𐤎𐤐𐤉𐤓 Yahusha was seen with a paved work of sapphire under his feet, the blue print He Himself would walk. i.e. the royal laws.

Jasper 𐤉𐤔𐤐𐤄 yash 𐤉𐤔 means to 'exist' H3426 as in a substance, shapah 𐤔𐤐𐤄 means to strike, pah H6310 𐤐𐤄  is the mouth.

Adam's blue print/saphiyr to represent him in a substance who was struck, resulting in Adam confessing Him as His Savior from his mouth. It says in Rom 5:14 that Adam was a type of Him i.e. Yahusha who was to come.

This 'magillah spahar' shows us Yahuah in Himself held the pattern of purification in a transition as Yahusha which came as words uttered in words of prophecy which came later written/kathub on scroll and made new in the heart/Ta which is the little chamber & confessed with the mouth/bull of our lips from a grateful heart.

Why was the last stone seen as first and the first as last?

The ruby is red in color and is the color of blood. Hence, the one seated on the throne was described in the Ruach as Jasper and we saw the meaning of Jasper, the being seen in a substance stricken, the same speaker who spoke by His mouth/pah the dabaryam/words nabouth/prophecy and came forth from Him was the blood denoted by the ruby. The Sapphire stood as the blue print, the 5th stone among the 12 tribes as the Torah of Life, supporting the entire pattern.

Yahusaph/Yoseph: 𐤉𐤄𐤅 𐤎𐤐 is translated as 'Yahuah will Add' where 'saph' 𐤎𐤐 is the container in which Yahuah dwells concealed as Yahusha in a transition. Saph 𐤎𐤐 is also the lips, which again shows us the speaker of the words. Didn't Yahusaph tell Yasharal to carry his bones when they leave Mitsrayim?

Gen 50:25  And Yosěph made the children of Yisra’ěl swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit you, and you shall bring up my bones/etsem H6106 𐤏𐤑𐤌 from here.” 

Gen 50:26  And Yosěph died, being one hundred and ten years old. And they embalmed him, and he was placed in a coffin in Mitsrayim. 

Gen 49:22  “Yosěph is an offshoot of a fruit-bearing tree, an offshoot of a fruit-bearing tree by a fountain, his branches run over a wall. 

Gen 49:23  “And the archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him. 

Gen 49:24  “But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Ya‛aqoḇ – from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Yisra’ěl.

1Ch 5:1  As for the sons of Re’uḇěn the first-born of Yisra’ěl – he was the first-born, but because he profaned his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosěph, son of Yisra’ěl, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright, 

1Ch 5:2  for Yehuḏah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Yosěph’s 

 

Remeber, there is no tribes in order mentioned which should be inscribed on the stones of the high priest's breastplate. Many have carnally placed the names on the stones by looking at Genesis 49 order of names. But we never have the tribal names in chronological order as Rev 7 gives names in a different chronology. But we can identify 3 stones in their spiritual significance i.e. the ruby was actually Yahusaph, as Reuben though being the firstborn lost his birthright to him and placed last in rank. Yahudah prevailed over his brothers and from him came the ruler Yahusha ha Mashiyach the one and only who walked the blue print, He came from the tribe with a priesthood Masha/Moses never spoke about, hence Yahudah was the sapphire. Remember in Exodus 24:10 we read under Yahuah's feet was a paved work of sapphire.

Also, YahuDah is spelled as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤃𐤄 where the dalet is the doorway through which Yahuah came as Yahusha. The doorway represents the 'blue print pattern' which are the royal laws.

Yahusaph was persecuted by his brothers and sold as a slave to the Yishmalites and his clothes his brothers stained with blood and showed it to their father and lied saying a wild beast tore him apart. 

That leaves us with Reuben chronologically placed as the last son. And his name means 'See a son' 

𐤓𐤀𐤅𐤁𐤍 : RA mans 'See/Behold' & Ban means 'Son'

Reuben went up to his fathers bed in adultery and hence the burden was to be carried by the Son of the Most high. Hence, Reuben is denoted by being struck in taking away His birthright denoted by the stone Jasper/Yashpah. The elder son takes on the fathers heritage in guiding the younger brothers in the path, but he lost it to Yahusaph and Yahusha in Yahusaph which means 'Yahuah will add' gives His birthright to all His brethren. 

Rev 5:1  And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, having been sealed with seven seals.

Rev 5:2  And I saw a strong messenger proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loosen its seals?” 

Rev 5:3  And no one in the heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. 

Rev 5:4  And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. 

Rev 5:5  And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. See, the Lion of the tribe of Yehuḏah, the Root of Dawiḏ, overcame to open the scroll and to loosen its seven seals.” 

Rev 5:6  And I looked and saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing, as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim sent out into all the earth. 

Rev 5:7  And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne. 

Rev 5:8  And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the set-apart ones. 

Rev 5:9  And they sang a renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to Elohim by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,c Footnote: cThis fact is given in 6 other texts in the Book of Revelation. 

Rev 5:10  and made us sovereigns and priests to our Elohim, and we shall reign upon the earth.

We saw the one seated on the throne identified as Yahusha ha Mashiyach in the stones Jasper and Ruby.  Now the imagery moves forward to show us there was a scroll sealed with seven seals in the hands of Him who no one in heaven or earth was worthy to open and having seen this Yahuchanan wept. But the Lamb was worthy to take the scroll and open the seals thereof. Remember we read in 1Chr 5:2 for Yahuḏah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler. The Malchitsedek priest sprang from Yahudah, the root and offspring of David, the one who wrote the psalms for Yahusha and handed it to the natsach/overseer. The overseer recited the melody to the Adon in worship whom Shaul identifies as Yahusha ha Mashiyach to whom we make melody in our hearts.

The seven seals in the saphar/scroll 𐤎𐤐𐤓 is the cycles of Shemitah which has the words which are sweet and bitter. Remember we saw 𐤈𐤈 the wheels being lifted up/har 𐤄𐤓 denoting the decoding in time & times 𐤏𐤕 𐤏𐤕 the galgal 𐤂𐤋𐤂𐤋

The scroll which Ezekiel and Yahuchanan were told to eat, and it was sweet in the mouth but made the belly bitter. While Ezekiel doesn't mention his belly was made bitter, the written scroll has the lamentations, mourning and woe. Yahuchanan specifies both.

Eze 2:8  “And you, son of man, hear what I am speaking to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house, open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.” 
Eze 2:9  And I looked and saw a hand stretched out to me. And see, a 'roll of a scroll' 𐤌𐤂𐤋𐤕 𐤎𐤐𐤓 was in it, 

Eze 2:10  and He spread it before me, and it was written on the inside and on the outside. And written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe. 

Eze 3:1  Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll/magalah 𐤌𐤂𐤋𐤄 H4039, and go speak unto the house of Israel. 

Eze 3:2  So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll. 

Eze 3:3  And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. 

Rev 10:8  And the voice which I heard out of the heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is opened in the hand of the messenger standing on the sea and on the earth.” 
Rev 10:9  And I went to the messenger and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it, and it shall make your stomach bitter, but it shall be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”  
Rev 10:10  And I took the little book out of the messenger’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my belly/batan 𐤁𐤈𐤍 was made bitter. 
Rev 10:11  And he said to me, “You have to prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and sovereigns.”

Both the prophets experienced (though Ezekiel doesn't mention bitter) bitterness in their belly. The other word for womb is 'batan' with the same spelling

And the root words show 'bath' 𐤁𐤈 which means 'desolate', ban 𐤁𐤍 which means son & in reverse order shows 'nab' 𐤍𐤁 which means prophecy & 'tab' 𐤈𐤁 which means 'good'

The journey from the mouth (in prophecy)  to the womb is 'sweet & bitter', 'blessings & judgements', 'life & death' denoting the path Yahuah would take to cleanse the womb in transition. Remember both Ezekiel and Yahuchanan were prophets and figuratively the womb of prophecy held the pathway, the blue print through words of prophecy as we also saw the Recorder testified of the words which were in the 'roll of the scroll' which was inside the heart.

Luke24:44 Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moshe and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

The words were written in the front/paniym and back/acharath on the scroll (Eze 2:10) and only Yahusha is worthy to unroll it and reveal the contents of the words of the covenant & we the elect respond to it from our little chambers/hearts through our mouth/pah.

Hence, Psalms 40:6-8 should be understood through as an unsaid secret utternance in Yahuah's own counsel, where His esteem through the cherubs led Him as heard by Ezekiel in hearing 'GalGal' translated as 'Wheels' and there He died for us in the person of Yahusha showing us His transition. The one who uttered through the prophets in a repeated witness as a song, psalm, prophecy, lamentation etc but His appearing concealed in the shemitah wheels of time to be unfolded as Shaul said "Therefore, coming into the world, He says...."

Heb 10:5  Therefore, coming into the world, He says, “Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me. 
Heb 10:6  “In ascending offerings and offerings for sin You did not delight. 
Heb 10:7  “Then I said, ‘See, I come – in the roll of the book it has been written concerning Me – to do Your desire, O Elohim.’ ” 

How He said? Through the words of David who gave the Psalms to Asaph the seer to recite it in the shemitah until its true purpose was accomplished for whom it was intended for i.e. Mashiyach.

May Yahusha open our eyes to see these truths. Shalum!

The Tree of knowledge of good and evil

 Gen 2:9  And out of the ground יהוה Elohim made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 

Tree of life: ets hachayim 𐤏𐤑 𐤄𐤇𐤉𐤉𐤌

Tree of knowledge of good and evil: ets hadath tub ura 𐤏𐤑 𐤄𐤃𐤏𐤕 𐤈𐤅𐤁 𐤅𐤓𐤏

While its easy to tie up the tree of life to Yahusha ha Mashiyach as its mentioned in several places in scripture & uniquely as He Himself says in Rev 2:7  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I shall give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Elohim.

Hence, this tree of life represented the eternal life in Him which is why Yahuah Aluahym placed cherubims and a flaming sword to guard the way to the tree of life. I have touched based this before the cherubims as a pattern were seen all over the haykal's carvings & most importantly on the ark of the covenant, over the mercy seat. And access to the Most Set Apart was forbidden for common man & even the priestly class. Only the kahan ha gadul once a year could enter behind the veil to sprinkle the blood of the red heifer on the mercy seat and he too couldn't see anything because of the much incense he had to offer before entering behind the veil. The smoke of the incense blinded him from seeing anything behind the veil.

Gen 3:24  and He drove the man out. And He placed keruḇim at the east of the garden of Ěḏen, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life. 

Hence, we won't get into details of how the pattern was guarded as there is a study on my blog which can be read: https://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-imagery-of-cherubims-and-their.html in which I have touch based that the living creatures/cherubims/seraphims are reflection of the esteem of Yahusha who is Yahuah, depicting His attributes prophetically as the heavenly pattern concealed in HIM as seen by the nebim in visions.

Our prime focus in this study is the 'tree of knowledge of good and evil' because after Adam & Chauah eating from this tree Yahuah Aluahym said

Gen 3:22  And יהוה Elohim said, “See, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...” 

Many assume Trinity or Binary being here just because Yahuah Aluahym said "See, the man has become like ONE OF US"....

The Hebrew word translated as Us is H4480 which in its singular form is 'man' 𐤌𐤍 which means 'kind of/species/portion/part of. The plural 𐤌𐤍𐤅 shows a species/kind of more than one. Hence, they translated it as ''US'' 

The plural form of 'mi menu' translated as 'Of Us' in Gen 3:22 is translated elsewhere for tree of knowledge of good and evil in Gen 2:17 as...

Gen 2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat from/mi it/menu (𐤌𐤌𐤍𐤅), for in the day that you eat from/mi it/menu  (𐤌𐤌𐤍𐤅), muth tamuth 𐤌𐤅𐤕 𐤕𐤌𐤅𐤕 death you shall die.

Hence, the tree of knowledge of good and evil was itself symbolic of a category/species whose specimen we will examine in a spiritual understanding & interestingly Yahuah identifies Himself as being part of this category (in plurality) which is why we must see this clearly as the first blush meaning seems to be complicated. The 'Us' translation is misleading, its a plural of a category/kind.

Firstly, we must understand that Yahuah Aluahym is identifying Adam/man to be like one of the 'category' which He already is part of. While Yahuah is extremely Qadash/Set Apart, He is speaking from a dual realm perspective i.e. the heavenly & the earthly where He stands part of/menu 𐤌𐤍𐤅 which is the mystery unfolding the pattern. In fact twice in Gen 2:17 Yahuah Aluahym refers the category as 'mi menu'

The English translation uses the words 'surely die' for muth tamuth which again is a dilution of the text. 'Muth' in Hebrew means 'death' and is used twice in the verse and is a tying up to the twice 'mi menu'.

The serpent came deceiving Chauah by saying "You shall not certainly die" which again the English translation dilutes the Hebrew text. I have rearranged the Hebrew to bring out the correct English translation

Gen 3:4  And the naḥash said to the woman, “You shall/ta 𐤕 not 𐤋𐤀 die/muth 𐤌𐤅𐤕 the death/mathun 𐤌𐤕𐤅𐤍. 
Gen 3:5  “For Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.” 

Did the adversary lie? Yes by speaking half truth he lied. What he said and recorded in Gen 3:4 was a lie. He told them that they would not die the death Yahuah told them. Gen 3:5 is truth placed in a lie. While they would become part of the category which is truth as Yahuah Aluahym Himself acknowledges which we saw in Gen 3:22, the temptation was that they would be like Elohim which is a lie.

Gen 3:22  And יהוה Elohim said, “See, the man has become like one of a kind to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever...”  

Hence, we must see what this category means? And this is beautifully brought out by Shaul the emissary to the Romans who was a Hebrew congregation

Rom 7:9  And I was alive apart from the Torah once, but when the command came, the sin revived, and I died. 
Rom 7:10  And the command which was to result in life, this I found to result in death. 
Rom 7:11  For sin, having taken the occasion through the command, deceived me, and through it killed me.

Shaul begins by telling that the Torah rules over a man as long as he lives. He is misunderstood because carnal mind doesn't understand he is speaking of the Torah of sin and death and the tree of knowledge of good and evil stood as a category of this.

Coming back to what Shaul is saying, he says the married woman is bound by Torah to her husband as long as her husband is alive. But when the husband dies, she is freed from the Torah of her husband and is free and not an adulteress if she marries another man. So also he says we were put to death to the Torah of the husband by the body of Mashiyach for us to become another's, the One who was raised from the dead.

Shaul shows his former estate as Adam and Chauah from verses 7 to 11 in Romans 7 that he was alive apart from Torah once but when the commandment came, sin revived and he died i.e. his eyes were opened to understand that he was part of/mimenu of the Torah of sin and death all along without realizing it. The realization came when the command came and the body designed was earthy which had its trigger and inclination to death. While the command was pure and qadash but the sin in its dormant state became alive to disobey the command.

Adam and Chauah were told that their eyes will be opened, were their eyes opened? Yes they were, they realized they were part of the 'Torah of sin and death' which is signified by 'nakedness'

Rev 16:15  “See, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who is staying awake and guarding his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” 

Now coming back to Yahuah Aluahym saying "See, the man has become like one of a kind, to know good and evil"... We must not come to a conclusion that Yahuah Aluahym was like the man with sin dormant within Him. But what it means is Yahuah Aluahym became part of the category of Torah of sin and death with a body which was not made from dust, it had no sin in it. The realization of sin came denoted by 'good and evil, when he was on the stake half naked, when all of our sins were placed on Him. From the principle 'The last shall be first', the Last Adam i.e. Mashiyach was the 'beginning of all creation', the 'Rishon Akharon (First and the Last), hence, when Yahuah Aluahym said man is become one of a kind which He was part of, this principle has to be kept in mind.

 Yahuah Aluahym the Torah giver became part of the category as both the heavenly and earthy. The earthy was a reflection of the heavenly pattern. He became part of the earthy pattern/category to redeem us.

Gal 4:4  But when the completion of the time came, Elohim sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under Torah, 

Yahuah Aluahym the giver of the Torah already made a way of escape as He said "BEHOLD/HEN 𐤄𐤍 the man has become like one kind of/mimenu 𐤌𐤌𐤍𐤅, (which He Himself was part of for man's deliverance). I will show all of this in Paleo pictographs in a bit which will make sense as we go through it togther. He was not saying man became like Him as the adversary lied to them but part of what He designed.

Firstly, in Gen 1, we see in everything Yahuah created, He saw everything was exceedingly good.

Gen 1:31  And Elohim saw all that He had made, and see, it was very/𐤌𐤀𐤅𐤃  good 𐤈𐤅𐤁 . And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the sixth day. 

Zec 3:2  And יהוה said to Satan, “יהוה rebuke you, Satan! יהוה who has chosen Yerushalayim rebuke you! Is this not a charcoal/H181 𐤀𐤅𐤃  plucked from the fire?” 

Amo 4:11  “I have overthrown some of you, as Elohim overthrew Seḏom and Amorah, and you were like a charcoal/H181 𐤀𐤅𐤃 plucked from the burning. But you did not turn back to Me,” declares יהוה. 
Amo 4:12  “Therefore I am doing this to you, O Yisra’ěl. And because I do this to you, prepare to meet your Elohim, O Yisra’ěl!” 

The coal was part of the sacrificial burning, plucked out and cast into the fire of Yahuah's wrath. The charcoal was once part of the fire of Yahuah's pattern. Isn't that amazing!

The Mem/𐤌 stands for water and blood, and the mem before 𐤀𐤅𐤃 charcoal shows everything Yahuah Aluahym made was in perspective of the sacrificial coal burning in His redemption plan for man.

Lets examine the the word TUB/𐤈𐤅𐤁 in word pictures

If we break up the letter Tet we see the word eth H6256 which is the word for time. When we break up the letter 'Beyt' we see the letter 'Resh' which shows us the amazing eye of Yahuah looking through the corridors of time to enter into creation.

Hence, the whole creation is groaning in pain for redemption as Yahuah Aluahym subjected it in vanity with a hope of deliverance.

Rom 8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of Elohiym. 

Rom 8:20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope, 

Rom 8:21  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of Elohiym. 

Rom 8:22  For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. 

The blood stained charcoal/ 𐤌𐤀𐤅𐤃 which is part of the sacrificial fire continues to burn for redemption which will be accomplished in the completion of time when the Resh Mashiyach would enter creation and pay the price, which is accomplished. I was amazed to see these word pictures. While some will continue in belief, the others will be as the charcoal plucked out of the sacrifical fire to burn in the fire of Yahuah's wrath. 

𐤈𐤅𐤁 Tet is the basket which holds the mystery which will unfold what will be seen, the beyt is the body and resh is its head...all pointing to Mashiyach.

Tree of knowledge of good and evil: ets hadath tub ura 𐤏𐤑 𐤄𐤃𐤏𐤕 𐤈𐤅𐤁 𐤅𐤓𐤏

For word pictures for Tree of knowledge of good and evil I will use the Proto Canaanite word pictures.

Tree: ets H6086. The letter 'tsady' when rearranged becomes the letter nun. Yahuah with His eyes saw the seed which is concealed within the dust (which our eyes cannot see the sprout until it shoots out of the dust as a plant to a tree)

Knowledge: H1847 Dath 𐤃𐤏𐤕 shows a knowledge which unfolds in time

Good: Tub H2896 We already saw what Tub means in Paleo Hebrew.

Evil: Ra H7451 translated as evil. But the word has several meanings as adversity, grief, bad, sorrow etc.

Yahuah Aluahym saw the seed in affliction being made of dust (see pictograph of ets: tree), He caused Adam and Chauah to know in time (see pictograph of dath: knowledge), the time of the Resh's coming (See pictograph of Tub) by which the Resh will remove their distress/sorrow denoted by the evil eye (see pictograph of Ra: bad/adversity/distress/grief).

The pictograph of Ra H7451 can be seen in what Mashiyach meant in Matthew 5:29. Those believing on Him will have a fresh perspective of the Torah and they will not occupy in the Torah of sin and death which is a carnal command but will transition to the spiritual command which is the Torah of life. He enables helping remove the eye & hand which causes one to go into grief/sorrow/adversity.

Mat 5:29  “And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into GěHinnom. 

Mat 5:30  “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into GěHinnom. 

Remember, Adam and Chauah's eyes were opened, and they realized their nakedness. Their new journey began in anticipation of deliverance from their state of vanity & depravity, fulfilled by Yahuah in the person of Yahusha ha Mashiyach who came as the nun/seed (remember we saw the letter 'tsady' rearranged is the letter 'nun' which is the seed, to deliver mankind from the body of dust, transitioning it into His heavenly body.

The heavenly pattern was purified by His offering once and for all.

Heb 9:22  And, according to the Torah, almost all is cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. 

Heb 9:23  It was necessary, then, that the copies of the heavenly ones should be cleansed with these, but the heavenly ones themselves with better slaughter offerings than these. 

Masha was told to make all things according to the pattern shown to him on the mount. He was obedient in making it, for the pattern had concealed in it the 'time of life' when the Resh will come as the seed in a body not from dust (but likeness of sinful flesh) and deliver creation from the vanity/depravity as He alone has the right to give to eat from the Tree of life. If you are still occupied in the Torah of sin and death, the pattern is concealed as the way to the tree of life is guarded with a flaming sword moving in all directions (the Sword of the Ruach) and the Cherubims. You just can't enter in without willing to transition to Yahusha ha Mashiyach who alone is the Deliverer. 

Tree of life: ets hachayim 𐤏𐤑 𐤄𐤇𐤉𐤉𐤌 While everywhere else where the tree of life is mentioned, its singular, but in Gen 2:9 the plural is used which should be translated as 'lives/living.'

The tree representing the life of Mashiyach & we in Him will get our eternal lives in Him is the picture we see in Gen 2:9.

Yam 𐤉𐤌 H3220 means 'a sea/a large body of water' & represents peoples. Hence, Chay/Life 𐤇𐤉 given to many people is the picture here.

Lastly how did ha Shatan know to tell Chauah that their eyes will be opened?

Gen 3:5  “For Elohim knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be like Elohim, knowing good and evil.” 

It is evident that the Oral Torah was in the declaration in the heavenly when Yahuah made everything in perspective of being very good. And he was in the garden as the separated charcoal/aud 

As we saw in the below verses:

Gen 1:31  And Elohim saw all that He had made, and see, it was very/𐤌𐤀𐤅𐤃  good 𐤈𐤅𐤁 . And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the sixth day. 

Gen 2:17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat from/mi it/menu (𐤌𐤌𐤍𐤅), for in the day that you eat from/mi it/menu  (𐤌𐤌𐤍𐤅), muth tamuth 𐤌𐤅𐤕 𐤕𐤌𐤅𐤕 death you shall die.

Hence, ha Shatan used the same command tying to the Torah of sin and death, blessings and curses to tempt Chauah to bring her into the transgression of it. He didn’t know that what he did fell into the perfect plan of Yahuah to separate the not chosen as the charcoal from the fire into Yahuah’s wrath just as he himself was, while the elect would continue burning in the sacrifice of Yahusha to be saved.

The Son became part of the creation to deliver creation from vanity/depravity into the glorious liberty to become the sons of Aluahym in Him. He opened our eyes through the commandment which was pure and qadash by letting us know our nakedness with a desire to be clothed from above i.e. His body to be able to partake of the tree of life. May Yahuah barakh you and help you see these word pictures and unwind you from all that is tying you to the Torah of sin and death in which is concealed the Ruach, as Shaul the emissary says that the letter kills but the Ruach gives life. Shalum In Mashiyach Yahusha!

Wisdom personified as a woman in Proverbs?

When reading Proverbs 1:20-33 & 8:1 to 9:12 passages we see wisdom is personified as a 'she' and is a poetic narration of Yahuah's internal inherent attribute externalized relating to Himself as a woman who is filled in His fulness. Let me quote a few passages from Proverbs 8.

Pro 8:22 “יהוה (Yahuah) possessed me, The beginning of His way, As the first of His works of old.

Pro 8:23 “I was set up ages ago, at the first, Before the earth ever was.
Pro 8:24 “When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs heavy with water.

Pro 8:25 “Before mountains were sunk, Before the hills, I was brought forth,

Pro 8:26 “Before He had made the earth and the fields, Or the first dust of the world.

Pro 8:27  “When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep, 

Pro 8:28  “When He set the clouds above, When He made the fountains of the deep strong, 

Pro 8:29  “When He gave to the sea its law, So that the waters would not transgress His mouth, When He inscribed the foundations of the earth,

What is the mystery of the Wisdom who is personified as a Woman/She?

Pro 1:20 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the broad places.

There are 2 words used interchangeably in scripture for Wisdom.

1. chakmoth/chokmoth H2454 𐤇𐤊𐤌𐤅𐤕

H2454 has the root word chak H2441 חכ 𐤇𐤊 which means 'palate/roof of the mouth'. Hence, Chak/Palate is the roof of the mouth over which the tongue rolls and words are uttered and formed. The other root word is 'muth' מות 𐤌𐤅𐤕 H4191 which means 'death'

2.chakmah H2451 𐤇𐤊𐤌𐤄

H2451 Chakmah חכמה/Wisdom has the root word chak H2441 חכ 𐤇𐤊 which means 'palate/roof of the mouth'. Hence, Chak/Palate is the roof of the mouth over which the tongue rolls and words are uttered and formed.

Another root word in Chakamah/Wisdom is 'kam כמ 𐤊𐤌' which means desire.

The word chakmoth/chokmoth H2454 𐤇𐤊𐤌𐤅𐤕 is used only 5 times in the OT and lets examine the usage of this word in a spiritual understanding 

Psa 49:3  My mouth/peh 𐤐𐤄 H6310 speaks wisdom/chokmoth H2454 𐤇𐤊𐤌𐤅𐤕, And the meditation of my heart brings understanding/tabunah 𐤕𐤁𐤅𐤍𐤄 H8394. 
Psa 49:4  I incline my ear to a parable; I expound my dark saying/chaydah 𐤇𐤉𐤃𐤄 H2420 on the lyre. 

The Psalmist speaks of what was revealed to him. The whole Psalm 49 is about man who builds houses and calls them by their own name, thinks their houses will endure for all generations, accumulates wealth but death feeds on them. When looking at the verses closely he says MY MOUTH speaks and we saw chokmoth has the root words chak which means 'roof of the mouth/palate' and muth means 'death'

chaydah 𐤇𐤉𐤃𐤄 H2420 is a proverb/riddle/puzzle. The roots words are chay 𐤇𐤉 which means life & yadah 𐤉𐤃𐤄 H3034 which means praising/confessing/thank/throwing hands in the air

It's the prophecy unfolding from an utterance, the tongue in his palate gave an utterance of death where in the next verse he says it's a dark saying/riddle (which is a beholder seeing this and throwing his hands in the air as the puzzle unfolds) and his heart brought forth the understanding. The word for understanding here is 'tabunah 𐤕𐤁𐤅𐤍𐤄 H8394' which has the root words 'taban 𐤕𐤁𐤍' & 'banah 𐤁𐤍𐤄' where taban means 'straw' and 'banah' means 'build'. It's like a pattern revealed. Just like Yahuah told Mosheh that he ensures that everything is made as per the pattern/tabniyth revealed to him.

Exo 25:40  “So see, and do according to the pattern/H8403 𐤕𐤁𐤍𐤉𐤕 tabniyth which was shown to you on the mountain. 

The straw is used to make bricks, the bricks are used in building the structure as per the pattern. Hence, when we relate 'chokmoth' to Yahuah we see Yahuah divinely uttering in a bodily form by rolling His tongue over His palate in speaking of His death which is a dark saying/hidden and relates creation back to Him in His death as Yahusha. The Pslamist was prophesying that Yahuah's creation thinks they live as though they would live forever but everything comes to an end in death and this is the pattern which is built.

Pro 1:20  Wisdom/chokmoth 𐤇𐤊𐤌𐤅𐤕 cries (a rejoicing cry)/ranan 𐤓𐤍𐤍 H7442 outside; She gives her voice/qol 𐤒𐤅𐤋 H6963 in the broad places/rachab 𐤓𐤇𐤁 H7339. 

Pro 8:1  Does not wisdom/chokmah 𐤇𐤊𐤌𐤄 call/qara 𐤒𐤓𐤀, And understanding/tabunah 𐤕𐤁𐤅𐤍𐤄 H8394 give her voice/qol 𐤒𐤅𐤋 H6963 ? 

Placing the 2 verses together, the riddle unfolds when we understand that wisdom is personified as one with a rejoicing cry and another with a call. The rejoicing cry defines the desire/kam through prophecy of the deliverance of creation from the pangs of death through a divine utterance (chokmoth) in broad places. The word for broad places is 'rachab 𐤓𐤇𐤁 H7339' and is the same word for 'Rachab' the inn keeper (not a whore as incorrectly translated) who hid the spies who came to spy the land with Yericho before Yasharal could take it over. No whore can be in the lineage of Mashiyach. 

Mat 1:3 And Yehuḏah brought forth Perets and Zeraḥ by Tamar, and Perets brought forth Ḥetsron, and Ḥetsron brought forth Ram. 
Mat 1:4 And Ram brought forth Amminaḏaḇ, and Amminaḏaḇ brought forth Naḥshon, and Naḥshon brought forth Salmon. 

Mat 1:5 And Salmon brought forth Bo‛az by Racḥaḇ, and Bo‛az brought forth Oḇěḏ by Ruth, and Oḇěḏ brought forth Yishai.

Who was Rachab?

The Hebrew text identifies Rahab as a zônāh, a prostitute. whereas actually an innkeeper, since the "consonants that make up the word ‘prostitute' in Hebrew (znh (זנה 𐤆𐤍𐤄) are identical to the consonants of the Hebrew word for a female person who gives food and provisions (zunah 𐤆𐤅𐤍𐤄)." Moreover, the Yahudite historian Josephus wrote that Rahab kept an inn (katagōgion in Greek).

H2109 & H2110 -the root word means to feed. It turns out that Rahab was a Hotel Owner. The one who fed people with food at her inn.

Jos 2:1 And Yehoshua son of Nun secretly sent out two men from Shittim to spy, saying, “Go, see the land, and Yeriḥo.” And they went, and came to the house of a woman, a whore/zunah 𐤆𐤅𐤍𐤄 H2181 (zayin uau nun hey), and her name was Raḥaḇ, and they lodged/shakab 𐤔𐤊𐤁 H7901 there. 

Jos 2:2 But it was reported to the sovereign of Yeriḥo, saying, “See, men from the children of Yisra’ĕl have come here tonight to search out the land.” 

The word here is zunah (female inn keeper) and not zanah (a harlot), the hey at the end makes the word feminine. The translators got it wrong. Moreover, it's clear with the word shakab which means to lodge/take rest/lie down

She hid the spies on her roof top with the stalks of flax , what were stalks of flax doing on her roof top if not to feed those in her hotel/inn? 

Jos 2:6 But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid out on the roof. 

When she was saved on the day of Yericho's fall, she was saved along with her father, mother and her brothers and all that she had, which harlot does harlotry with her father, mother and brothers being in the house.

Jos 6:23 And the young men, the spies, went in and brought out Raḥaḇ, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had. So, they brought out all her relatives and set them outside the camp of Yisra’ĕl. 

Jos 6:24 And they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the House of יהוה. 

Jos 6:25 However, Yehoshua kept alive Racḥaḇ the INN KEEPER/zunah 𐤆𐤅𐤍𐤄, and her father’s household, and all that she had. And she dwelt in the midst of Yisra’ĕl to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Yehoshua sent to spy out Yeriḥo. 

Jas 2:25 In the same way, was not Racḥaḇ the inn keeper also declared right by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 

Heb 11:31 By belief, Racḥaḇ the inn keeper did not perish with those who did not believe, having received the spies with peace. 

H7342.  bxr  rachab,  raw-khawb' 

 

from 7337; make room/broad place, in any (or every) direction, literally or figuratively:--broad, large, at liberty, proud, wide. 

Rachab is a riddle of a broad place who hid the Yasharalite spies when they came to spy out the Promised land. She is a picture of a room in the midst of dispersion where the elect are refreshed & hidden in Mashiyach.

In the death of Mashiyach Yahusha we will be brought to the promised land. His intense desire and love for us drew Him to come to pay the price for us. Proverbs 1:20 is declaration whilst Proverbs 8:1 is a question asked. The word chokmah is 'feminine' and creation is asked doesn't the utterance in a desire call you and is in a pattern (we saw the word tabunah) give her voice?

One is a declaration, and one is a call, both personified by 'female' who is within the 'male' and brought forth outside of him to reveal his thoughts and desire for his woman. This is depicted by Yahuah putting Adam to deep sleep/tardamah and out of his side he split open his side and from the mud he formed the woman and filled up the flesh for Adam and the woman for the other side. We saw this in my study in a note form which can be read here: https://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com/2022/12/rib-or-side-of-adam.html

The deep sleep/tardamah has the root words 'tar 𐤕𐤓' which means 'border' and 'damah 𐤃𐤌𐤄' which means 'silence as in death' It's like drawing in the mud the portion which is cut out and creating out of that clay while the other half remained silenced in a deep sleep equivalent to death. 

When the Yahudim were accusing the woman caught in adultery, Yahusha was writing something on the ground. While scripture is silent as to what He wrote, the Yahudim were immediately guilty when He told them to cast the stone to her who has not sinned.

Joh 8:4  they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 
Joh 8:5  “And in the Torah Mosheh commanded us that such should be stoned. What then do You say?” 
Joh 8:6 And this they said, trying Him, so that they might accuse Him. But יהושע, bending down, wrote on the ground with the finger, as though He did not hear. 
Joh 8:7 But as they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” 

We should note that because Alahym had created man “out of the dust” and since He had come to “write the law on people’s hearts” it is likely that when he wrote on the ground that day in the presence of the scribes and Pharisees, He had in a sense, written the supreme call to mercy.

Coming back to the word 'tardamah' when Yahuah made a covenant with Abraham and asked him to cut the pieces of the animals into two and a flaming torch passed through them when Abraham was put into a deep sleep/tardamah. This was to tell Abraham that his seed would see affliction for 400 years in Egypt and this slavery was as painful as death, but He would deliver them. The third usage is when Yahusha on the stake was put to deep sleep and when His side was pierced water and blood gushed forth, 'the water and blood' indicating that He who came by water and blood would wash us His bride from all our sins into re-marrying us whom He had divorced due to our whoredom. Twice in the book of Ayob it says deep sleep falls on men at night. There was darkness over the whole land when Yahusha was put to deep sleep. 

Mat 27:45  And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour. 

Job 4:13  Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep/tardamah falls on men, 

Job 33:15  in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep/tardamah falls upon men, while slumbering on a bed, 

We are related to his body as His flesh and His bones

Eph 5:30  Because we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 

The woman within the man Yahusha is personified. I have shared this before but here it is again. When Yahuah created everything, He related everything back to Himself , he was in a bodily form (as seen as Messenger of Yahuah by many in the OT). Being in the bodily form and relating everything back to Him, His divine utterance involved the rolling of his tongue in his palate creating everything from what proceeded from his mouth, the five elements...throat, palate, tongue, teeth and lips. The letters, words and sentences formed in that rolling of the tongue is 'Chokmah' and what was internal externalized as a female because the entire creation is feminine and relates to him because he is the male/ish/husband. This is the imagery...the 22 Hebrew letters forming the words, the words the sentences and the sentences, the language of creation.

1Co 1:21  For since, in the wisdom/chokmoth of Elohim, the world through wisdom/chokmah did not know Elohim, it pleased Elohim through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.  1Co 1:22  And since Yehuḏim ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,  1Co 1:23  yet we proclaim Messiah impaled, to the Yehuḏim a stumbling-block and to the Greeks foolishness,  1Co 1:24  but to those who are called – both Yehuḏim and Greeks – Messiah the power of Elohim and the wisdom/chokmoth of Elohim. 

The Hebrew translation uses the same word 'chokmoth' which shows that Mashiyach is visible representation of Yahuah in bodily form and is stated as the wisdom/chokmoth of Aluahym whereas the externalized world wisdom is 'chokmah' the feminine.

This is a deep mystery as we now know in part and prophesy in part but when perfection will come, the part will be done away with. The woman will be perfected in His wisdom. The 'muth/death' was in His utterance, concealed in a riddle as a pattern/tabunah. Only through the wisdom of Yahuah one is able to relate and understand the unfolding of prophecy.

1Co 13:9  For we know in part and we prophesy in part.  1Co 13:10  But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part shall be inactive. 

The woman was never perfect but portrayed in Proverbs 8 as being perfect and within Yahuah as a 'one brought up’ as the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Yahuah when he tells Ayob/Job on whether he was there when he made the worlds, the answer is No. But then Yahuah says in verse 7 when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of Aluahym shouted for joy, was he there? Again, the answer is No. Because physically nothing was there apart from Yahuah being alone. But then the metaphorical language of the morning stars and sons of Aluahym being there singing together when he laid the foundation of the world shows 'We were there', where? Within Him. Some teach that Yahuah was creating, and the morning stars were the angels who were rejoicing. Angels were not created when Yahuah laid the foundation, they were part of the creation, not part of the Creator. He gives us the esteem of being part of Himself as 'flesh of His flesh and bones of His bones'.

Job 38:1 Then יהוה answered Iyoḇ out of the whirlwind, and said, 

Job 38:2 “Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 

Job 38:3 Now gird up your loins like a man, and I ask you, and you answer Me. 

Job 38:4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. 

Job 38:5 Who set its measurements, if you know? Or who stretched the line upon it? 

Job 38:6 Upon what were its foundations sunk. Or who laid its cornerstone, 

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohim shouted for joy? 

When Yahuah told Abraham "I have made you father of many nations", He spoke in the past tense. But was Yitshaq born yet? Abraham and Sarah were beyond age and bodily they couldn't have a son. Moreover, were children of Yasharal born yet? 

Rev2:28 “and I shall give him the morning star.”

Rev22:16 I, `Yahusha, have sent My messenger to testify to you these things before the assemblies. I am the root and Dawid and his descendant, the bright morning star. 

Yet He spoke as though they were there by telling Abraham "I have made you father of many nations"

Gen 17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 

Heb 4:3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest, as He has said, “As I swore in My wrath, if they shall enter into My rest...” Psa_95:11 And yet His works have come into being from the foundation of the world. 

Rom 4:17 as it has been written, “I have made you a father of many nations” Gen_17:5 – in the presence of Him whom he believed, even Elohim, who gives life to the dead and calls that which does not exist as existing, 

Shaul elaborates by saying what Yahuah meant when He spoke in the past tense "...even Elohim, who gives life to the dead and calls that which does not exist as existing''

The name Yahuah:

Why is the tetragrammation interpretation into a pronounced name so much in dispute among the Messianic circles?

Yod Hay Waw/Uau Hay is translated as Yahuah but because the 'ah' on the end makes the name feminine, they changed it to 'eh' trying to say its masculine. Hence, they derived as 'Yahuweh, Yahweh'. This is because they do not understand the mystery of the woman within the man who was taken out. The woman taken out has an inclination towards her ish/husband and the husband has also the element that attaches him or attracts him towards his woman.

1Co 11:8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 

1Co 11:9 For man also was not created for the woman, but woman for the man. 

1Co 11:11 However, man is not independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Master. 

1Co 11:12 For as the woman was from the man, even so the man also is through the woman. But all are from Elohim. 

Some state Shaul is contradicting himself in the 1 Corin 11 passages. First, he says man is not from woman but woman from man, then in verse 12 he says as the woman was from the man, even so the man also is through the woman.

There is no contradiction here. In my previous note in the link below I showed that the promise was that the woman would be delivered in childbearing (1Tim 2:15). She was to keep her former estate with her inclination towards her husband/ish and the husband would change His position from Father who was the husband to Son the same husband to be deliver her in childbearing.

'https://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com/2023/07/who-and-why-has-woman-to-cover-her-head.html' 

So, in the spiritual sense, the woman was within the man Yahusha who was Yahuah in bodily form. He spoke her in existence as being one enjoined with him and separated, one brought up.

Proverbs 8:30 “Then I was enjoined with/atsel 𐤀𐤑𐤋 H681 Him, one brought up/amon 𐤀𐤌𐤅𐤍 H525 from H539, And I was His delight, day by day Rejoicing before His face all the time, 

The word atsel 𐤀𐤑𐤋 H681 has the root word 'tsal 𐤑𐤋' which means shadow. The word itself means 'side'. The 'aleph 𐤀' before the word 'tsal 𐤑𐤋' shows its the aleph's side.

Gen 2:22 And the side/tsala 𐤑𐤋𐤏 which יהוה Elohim had taken from the man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 

The same root 'tsal 𐤑𐤋' is in the word translated as 'side' in Gen 2:22. 

Proverbs 8:30 shows that the woman was beside Him as His shadow as one brought up (from within) and she was His rejoicing before His face (face is part of the head in His headship).

The word translated as ‘one brought up’ is amun which means ‘So be it’ usually used at the end of prayer as Aman/amen/amun. It’s an affirmation of something invisible or intangible yet.

once (in Isa_30:21; by interchange for H541) to go to the right hand

Isa 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand/aman 𐤀𐤌𐤍 H541 , and when ye turn to the left.

Coming back to 1Corin 11, the woman was brought forth from the man and he said "This is flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones" and the man who brought forth the woman is also born from the woman which he states in 1Corin 11:12.  Was Yahusha not born from the woman into this word? I touch based on this in Rev 12 on the man child born from the woman in my note ' Who and why has the woman to cover her head & to keep silence in the assembly mean?'.

The mystery unfolds as we see the woman holds the elements of her husband within and as it says the whole creation groans in pain for redemption, this is the inclination she has towards Him as she is inherent to Him.  Similarly, her element is in Him which causes Him to be compassionate towards her to deliver her and bring her to Himself.

Gen 3:16....And your desire is for your husband, and he does rule over you.” 

Also, no Father will send His Son to marry His bride. She was brought forth from Him and He will perfect her in Himself. She is personified as she is speaking being with Him right before anything was made relating to His death as seen in the root word 'muth' in 'chokmoth' where He confesses His love towards her in rolling His tongue in the palate of his mouth/chak & kam that He will buy her back in His death/muth to perfect her in Himself. There is no contradiction in scripture, it has to be seen in a spiritual perspective.

The woman in 'chokmah' confesses/chak her love back to Him in realization of His love in her desire/kam. And Shaul says in 1Corin 11:12 "...But all are from Aluahym" showing that the elements of 'male and female' were within Him, revealed in His name Yahuah where Yah means "I exist" and "huah" means "will be/become". 

The writing in Proverbs personifying wisdom as a woman is called encomium (a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly). Do we deserve any praise? I don’t think so, but He has arrayed us in His beauty.
