Ps118:22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.
Ps118:23 This is from Yahuah; it is marvelous in our eyes.
Ps118:24 This is the day which Yahuah has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Ps118:25 O Yahuah, do save now, we beseech You; O Yahuah we beseech You, make prosper now!
Ps118:26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of Yahuah ; we have blessed you from the house of Yahuah.
Ps118:27 Yahuah is El, and He has shined upon us; bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
Psalms 118:27 in silos doesn't make sense unless we understand the context and the fulfillment as it points to Yahusha ha Mashiyach as He is the stone which the builders rejected who became the head of the corner. It was He who came in the name of Yahuah as "Blessed is the One who comes in the name of Yahuah" is in reference to Him. He bears the name as 'Yahusha' means 'Yahuah saves'.
So, what does binding the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar mean? Firstly, there is no word 'sacrifice' in the text and it was added by translators to make sense. I have added it in the text in italics.
Yahuah is El and He has shined upon us is synonymous with binding the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. The logic behind tying the sacrifice to the horns of the altar.
I recommend reader to read Leviticus 16 to understand what the high priest was commanded to do on the Day of Atonement.
How many entrances did the high priest do to enter the Most-Set apart place on the Day of Atonement? If you read Leviticus 16 carefully, the high priest entered behind the veil TWICE.
1. With the incense and with the blood of the bullock, his own sin-offering.
Lev16:11 Then Aharon shall offer the bull of the sin offering which is for himself and make atonement for himself and for his house, and he shall slaughter the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.
Lev16:12 He shall take a firepan full of coals of fire from upon the altar from before Yahuah and his hands full of incense of fragment perfumes beaten small and bring it from inside the veil.
Lev16:13 He shall put the incense on the fire before Yahuah, that the cloud of incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the ark of the testimony, so that he may not die.
Lev16:14 And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat on the east side; also, in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
2. Sin-offering for the people & sanctification of the incense altar
Lev16:15 Then he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering, which is for the people, and bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and in front of the mercy seat.
Lev16:16 He shall make atonement for the Set Apart place, because of the impurities of the sons of Yisra’El and because of their transgressions in regard to all their sins; and thus, he shall do for the tent of appointment which abides with them in the midst of their impurities.
Lev16:17 When he goes in to make atonement in the Set Apart place, not any man shall be in the tent of appointment until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself and for his house and for all the assembly of Yisra’El.
The logical binding:
Firstly, Leviticus 16:17 clearly states that NOT ANY MAN shall be in the tent of appointment until the high priest comes out. No one had to assist him in any of this.
Heb 9:7 and the tabernacle, which is to the front from it, the high priest enters ALONE (Greek: monos G3441 which means by themselves, sole, single) once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people.
If the high priest was unwell or unclean by any means, there had to be a backup termed as the second priest from his sons. That is why we see Annanias and Caiphas two high priests during Yahusha's trial.
Lev 16:32 So the priest whom he shall anoint it, and whose hand he shall consecrates to act as priest in his father’s place shall make atonement: he shall thus put on the linen garments, the holy garments,
But the high priest performing the duty, it goes without a saying that no assistance had to be provided to him even by the second priest.
Luke 3:2 in the days of the high priests of Chanan and Qayapha, the Word of Elohim came to Yahuchanan, the son of ZakarYah, in the wilderness.
John 18:13 First they led Him to Chanan, for he was the father-in-law of Qayapha, who served as high priest that year.
Infact Acts 4:6 records 4 high priests, it was that dreadful for them to serve behind the veil.
Acts 4:6 and Chanan the high priest, and Qayapha and Yahuchanan and Aleksandros, and all who were of the kindred of the high priests.
The sequence of events on Day of Atonement:
High priest would bring the bull & a ram for himself (Lev 16:3) and for his sons.
Lev 16:3 Aharon shall enter the Set apart place with this: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
High priest would bring 2 goats for children of Yasharal & a ram for them as burnt offering.
Lev16:5 He shall take from the congregation of the sons of Yisra’El two hairy goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
Lev16:7 He shall take the two goats and present them before Yahuah at the doorway of the tent of appointment.
Aharon entering the Set apart place is to be understood as him bringing the bull as a sin offering for himself and the two hairy goats for the children of Yasharal at the door of Tent of Appointment. No sacrifice made it into the Set Apart place where the altar of incense, lampstands and shew bread was.
Lev16:8 Aharon shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for Yahuah and the other lot for the scapegoat.
Lev16:9 Then Aharon shall offer the goat on which the lot for Yahuah fell on it,
and make it a sin offering.
Lev16:10 But the goat on which the lot for the scapegoat fell on it shall be presented alive before Yahuah, to make atonement upon it, to send it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
The first entry to the Most Set apart Place:
Lev16:11 Then Aharon shall offer the bull of the sin offering which is for himself and make atonement for himself and for his house, and he shall slaughter the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.
Lev16:12 He shall take a firepan full of coals of fire from upon the altar from before Yahuah and his hands full of incense of fragment perfumes beaten small and bring it from inside the veil.
Lev16:13 He shall put the incense on the fire before Yahuah, that the cloud of incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the ark of the testimony, so that he may not die.
Lev16:14 And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat on the east side; also in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
The first entry into the Most Set apart place was made for the offering for himself and for his house. We read a bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering. We also read, he did it all alone. It is evident that the bull and the ram was offered on the brazen altar where only the blood of the bull was taken along with the coals of the fire of the brazen altar (where the bull and the ram were offered as a burnt offering) and incense in his hands. His hands had to be full of the incense so as to create a lot of smoke in the Set Apart place so that he doesnt directly see the mercy seat and die. And Aharon would then take the blood of the bull behind the veil (in the Most Set apart place) and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat seven times. The origin of the fire for the incense altar was to be always from the brazen altar, remember Nadab and Abihu, his sons were killed for the source of the fire they brought was called as strange fire, which means, it was not from the sacrificial altar.
Now we also saw the high priest had to do all this alone. So where were the 2 hairy goats? It's obvious they were tied to the horns of the brazen altar until they were taken to the miphkad altar (made of stones) which was on Mount of Olives as both the hairy goats were sanctified by bringing near to the door of the Tent of appointment.
The altar upon which the Red Heifer/One of the Hairy goats would be burned is called by the rabbis as the Miphkad Altar. The Miphkad Gate was one of the gates into the city which was near the corner of the city near the Sheep Gate.Nehemiah 3:31-32 - “After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith’s son unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the Gate Miphkad מפקד H4663 (muster, commandment, appointed place from H4662), and to the going up of the corner. And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants.”
The Hebrew meaning of Miphkad is ‘appointed’, which is also referenced in Ezekiel 42, which talks of the bullock being burned as the sin offering at the appointed place (Miphkad).
Ezekiel 43:21 - “Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place (Miphkad מפקד H4663) of the house, without the sanctuary.”
Combining the burning of a bullock as the sin offering at an appointed place (Miphkad) which was outside the sanctuary, we can now see combines all the elements of the impaling of Yahusha, who also was impaled as a sin offering for all the sins of the world on the Mount of Olives, without the sanctuary, at an appointed place designated by Yahuah.
Psalms 118:27. ‘El Yahúwah waya’er lanu ‘is’ru-chag ba`abothim`ad-qar’noth hamiz’beach.
El Yahuah and has shined upon us; bind/asaru אסרו H631 the festival/chag חג H2282 with cords to the horns of the altar.
The Hebrew word 'asaru אסרו' H631 also means 'tie or decree.'
The Hebrew word chag חג H2282 is translated as 'festival/sacrifice' and that is why here its translated as 'fesitval sacrifice'
Ex 23:18 You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; nor is the fat of My sacrifice/chag חג H2282 to remain overnight until morning.
Isa 29:1 Woe, O Ari’El, Ari’El the city where Dawid camped! Add year to year, let them kill sacrifices/chag חג H2282.
Horns of the altar:
It is evident that only the high priest presided over the Yom Kippur sacrifice at the mipkhad altar which was outside the sanctuary. While the altar of stones also had horns, but the altar was unmanned and hence, the hairy goats or the red heifers would have been bound with a cord to the brazen altar exposing the goats/red heifers to the horrors of what was sacrificed in it.
The Hebrew word for horn is 'qeren קרן' H7161 and also means 'shine/rays'. Please look up H7160, the same word with the same spelling but pronounced as 'qaran קרן'.
Exo 34:29 And it came to be, when Mosheh came down from Mount Sinai, while the two tablets of the Witness were in Mosheh’s hand when he came down from the mountain, that Mosheh did not know that the skin of his face shone/qaran קרן H7160 since he had spoken with Him.
Yahuah is said to be 'the horn of my deliverance'
Psa 18:1 I love You, O יהוה, My strength.
Psa 18:2 יהוה is my rock and my stronghold and my deliverer; My Ěl is my rock, I take refuge in Him; My shield and the horn/qeren קרן H7161 of my deliverance, my high tower.
This is what Torah says of the horns of the altar. Torah made a provision for killing by mistake, the person could run and grab the horns of the altar seeking justice.
Exo 21:12 He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
Exo 21:13 And if a man lie not in wait, but Alahym deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
Exo 21:14 But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
That is why we see 'AdoniYahu' and Yoab holding the horns of the altar as both were seeking shelter from Shelemoh who sought to have them killed. The life of AdoniYahu (Shelemoh’s brother) was spared by Shelemoh (he later killed him for rebellion: 1 Kin 2:13-25), while the life of Yoab was taken by Shelemoh (while standing at the altar because he had blood of innocent in his hands whom he had murdered during the days of David).
1Ki 1:50 And Aḏoniyahu was afraid of Shelomoh, and rose, and went and took hold of the horns of the altar.
1Ki 2:28 And news came to Yo’aḇ, for Yo’aḇ had turned aside after Aḏoniyah, though he did not turn aside after Aḇshalom. And Yo’aḇ fled to the Tent of יהוה, and took hold of the horns of the altar.
Yoab had committed “premeditated murder” at least 3 times: 2 Sam 3:22-27, 2 Sam 18:1-18, 2 Sam 20:8-13) for which he was not spared.
So, these 4 projections of the altar called horns spoke of shining of the Light of Yahuah as we read Ps118:27 Yahuah is El, and He has shined upon us; bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
2Co 4:6 For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.
Horrors of death:
The festal sacrifice i.e. the red heifer's/hairy goats tied to the altar were witnesses of the bull & ram sacrifices which were offered on the Day of Atonement by the high priest.
We see Yahusha showing us that He is the Festal sacrificed tied to the horns of the altar and showing a need to be strengthened.
Luk 22:40 And coming to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into trial.”
Luk 22:41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and falling on His knees He was praying,
Luk 22:42 saying, “Father, if it be Your counsel, remove this cup from Me. Yet not My desire, but let Yours be done.”
Luk 22:43 And there appeared a messenger from heaven to Him, strengthening Him.
We saw from Torah, if the high priest was unwell or unclean by any means, there had to be a backup termed as the second priest from his sons. That is why we see Annanias and Caiphas two high priests during Yahusha's trial.
Lev 16:32 So the priest whom he shall anoint it, and whose hand he shall consecrates to act as priest in his father’s place shall make atonement: he shall thus put on the linen garments, the holy garments,
But the high priest performing the duty, it goes without a saying that no assistance had to be provided to him even by the second priest and when the second priest stands ministering, no assistance had to be provided to him by the first.
Psa 110:4 יהוה has sworn/shaba שבע H7650 and does not relent/nacham נחם H5162, “You are a priest forever According to the order/dabarah דברה of Malkitseḏeq.”
shaba שבע H7650 which means swear/oath has the root word 'shab שב ' which means 'turn/return'. The word also is the same word for 'seven' H7651 which is a clear indication that Yahusha bears the 'Shemitah' Himself in an Oath/Decree.
nacham נחם H5162 which is translated as 'relent' is also the same word 'comfort/ease/console.
Will not nacham נחם H5162 is an indication that Yahuah will not ease/comfort Himself till He has established the Malkitedeq priesthood.
dabarah דברה H1700 cause, end, estate, order, regard.
The Hebrew reads as : Psa 110:4 נשׁבע יהוה ולא ינחם אתה־כהן לעולם על־דברתי מלכי־צדק׃
4. nish’ba` Yahúwah w’lo’ yinacham ‘atah-kohen l’`olam `al-dib’rathi Mal’ki-tsedeq.
Nun as a prefix before shaba means 'We' . The word is written as 'nashaba נשׁבע'
yod before nacham makes the word 'yinacham ינחם'. The yod prefix means 'He will'
Now lets put the broken pieces of the pottery together.
A clear Hebrew translation: We seven oaths sworn by Yahuah, and He will not be comforted "You a priest forever according to the end estate Malkitsedeq.
The end state/second state of a first order. We saw in YashaYahu 6 in the vision YashaYahu saw Yahuah high and lifted up and the hem/shul of His garments filled the temple. Which shows He was in the first order of which He came in likeness of as in second or far end estate, the priesthood He established to be in the New creation order, replacing the interim Levitical priesthood.
You will say I am spiritualizing Psalms 110:4 to mean 'seven oaths'. So please have a look at this
Gen 21:28 And Aḇraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Gen 21:29 And Aḇimeleḵ asked Aḇraham, “What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?”
Gen 21:30 And he said, “Take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, to be my witness that I have dug this well.”
Gen 21:31 So he called that place Be’ěrsheḇa, because the two of them swore seven oaths there.
Beersheba בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע H884:
בְּאֵר beer H875 means 'well' & shaba/sheba שבע H7651 means 'oath' & also means 'seven'
Also means 'well of seven oaths'. Please look up H7650 where it says to seven oneself, that is, swear (as if by repeating a declaration seven times)
Abimelek asked Abraham “What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?” The 7 ewe lambs were for a 7 times declaration.
Hence, wherever shaba/sheba H7650/H7651 word is used, we must understand that the declaration was for SEVEN TIMES.
Rev 10:2 and having in his hand a little book opened. And he placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
Rev 10:3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. And when he cried out, seven oath/shaba שבע thunders/ramayam רעמים H7481 spoke their sounds.
Rev 10:4 And when the seven oath/shaba שבע thunders/ramayam רעמים H7481 spoke their sounds, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from the heaven saying to me, “Seal up what the seven oath/shaba שבע thunders/ramayam רעמים H7481 spoke, and do not write them.”
Rev 10:5 And the messenger whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the heaven,
Rev 10:6 and swore seven oaths/shaba שבע by Him who lives forever and ever, who created the heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there shall be time (Hebrew shahuth שהות and means 'sojourn/stay/delay, Greek word : chornos G5550 and means 'little season' no longer (Hebrew: oud עןד and means repeat witness, Greek 'eti G2089 and means 'further').
