In this
study, we will see what scripture says about the ‘tenth’ portion and the
significance of the number ten in redemption and how Mashiyach is concealed in
the measurement brining all those believing on him into his completeness.
The Abary
word for ten is ‘’ashar’’ H6235/H6236 עֲשַׂר
It’s amazing
to see the ayin (eye) which also means ‘see’ is pointing to the ‘shar’ H8269
which means ‘’ruler’’.
It’s also
amazing to see the word ‘ashar’ has the root word ‘ar/aur’ H5783 which means
‘to be made naked/bare’ and same word H5782 means ‘’to awake’’. If you can ‘’see/ayin’’ the ‘’ruler/shar’’
been made ‘’naked/ar’’ then you are ‘’awake/ar’’
Every OT
offering/sacrifice/manna had the ‘tenth’ portion in it.
Exo 16:35 And the children of Yisra’ĕl ate manna forty
years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate manna until they came to
the border of the land of Kenaʽan.
Exo 16:36 And an omer is one-tenth/ ashayray H6224 of
an ĕphah.
The manna was measure
in one tenth of an ephah.
The word ‘ashayray’ has
the root word ‘ashar’ which means ‘ten/tenth’. Ephah was an OT measure used in
OT sacrifices.
‘Ephah’ was OT measure
used for a poor man’s sin offering who couldn’t even afford two turtledoves or
two young pigeons.
H6224 עֲשִׂירִי
Lev 5:11 ‘But if he is unable to bring two turtledoves
or two young pigeons, then he who sinned shall bring for his offering one-tenth/ashayray H6224 of an ĕphah of
fine flour as a sin offering. He puts no oil on it, nor does he put any
frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
Exo 29:38 “And this is what you prepare on the altar:
two lambs, of the first year, daily, continually.
Exo 29:39 “Prepare the one lamb in the morning, and the
other lamb you prepare between the evenings,
Exo 29:40 and one-tenth/
asharun H6241 of an ĕphah of flour
mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine
as a drink offering, with the one lamb.
Exo 29:41 “And prepare the other lamb between the
evenings. And with it prepare the grain offering and the drink offering, as in
the morning, for a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה –
Exo 29:42 a continual burnt offering for your
generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before יהוה, where I shall meet with you to speak with you.
Asharun H6241עִשָּׂרֹן
The
Torah required that two lambs of the first year be offered daily, continually,
one in the morning and one in the evening and it had to be prepared with
‘asharun H6241’ of an ephah of flour mixed with one-fourth of hin of pressed
oil and one-fourth of hin of wine as a drink offering.
The
morning and evening sacrifice was fulfilled by Mashiyach when he hung on the
stake when Alahym brought darkness over the whole land.
Lev 6:19 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 6:20 “This is the offering of Aharon and his sons,
which they bring near to יהוה, beginning on the day when he is anointed: one-tenth/ashayray H6224 of an ĕphah of fine flour as a daily grain
offering, half of it in the morning and half of it at night.
Lev 6:21 “It is made on a griddle with oil. Bring it
in mixed, bring the baked portions of the grain offering near, a sweet
fragrance to יהוה.
The grain offering made
for Aharon and his sons from the day of his anointing as high priest was
one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour half of it in the morning and half of it in
the evening.
Num 18:20 And יהוה said to Aharon, “You are not to have an inheritance in their
land, nor have any portion in their midst. I am your portion and your
inheritance among the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 18:21 “And see, I have given the children of Lĕwi all the tenth/masharah H4643 in
Yisra’ĕl as an inheritance in return for the service which they are serving,
the service of the Tent of Meeting.
Masharah: H4643 מַעַשְׂרָה
Masharah has the root
word ‘ashar/asharah’ H6235/H6236 which
also means ‘ten’.
It’s amazing to see the
word ‘asharah’ has ‘Sarah’ H8283 rooted in it, and the word ‘ashayray’ has got
‘Sarai’ H8297 rooted in it. Sarah was Sarai before but Yahuah named her as
‘Sharah’.
H6185 ‘sarai’ comes from the root word ‘shar’ which
means ruler and ray which means ‘watering’. The picture is of the promise of
the shar/ruler who was promised from above, her name also has the root ‘arayray’
in ‘ashayray’ H6224 which means ‘barren’ 
עֲשִׂירִי H6224
H8282 ‘sharah’ means
‘princess’ and has the root words ‘shar’ which means ‘ruler’ and ‘rah’ means ‘flow’.
Put together ‘The ruler flows through her’
Gen 17:15 And Elohim
said to Aḇraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do
not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name.
Yahuah changed her name
from ‘Sarai’ which shows her ‘barrenness’ and the promise of being watered/ray
with the ruler/shar to ‘Sarah’ which means ‘princess’ which shows the ‘ruler
flowing through her’
The other amazing fact
seen is ‘ashayray H6224’ means ‘’one-tenth’’ being changed to the whole ‘ten’
H6235 ‘asharah’ עֲשָׂרָה which
is a complete number and can be seen in the complete circle of a bracelet H8285
as ‘sharah’ also means ‘bracelet’. An ornament with the complete circle of
Yahusha.
The numbers 10, 100
& 1000 speak of completeness in scripture.
Examples: no 10: Rev
2:10 “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. See, the devil is about
to throw some of you into prison, in order to try you, and you shall have pressure ten days. Be trustworthy until death, and I
shall give you the crown of life.
The assembly of Smurna was
told that they would be thrown into prison and be tried for ten days and then
Mashiyach tells them ..’’Be trustworthy until death…’’ which shows the ten days
was a complete period.
No 100: Luk 15:4 “What
man among you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the
wilderness and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
99+1 =100 which is a
complete number of the sheep in the fold
No 1000: Psa 50:10 “For
every beast of the forest is Mine, The
cattle on a thousand hills.
If every beast of the
forest is his then the ‘thousand hills’ shows all the hills on which the cattle
is, is His.
Coming back to the word
‘tenth/tithe’ masharah H4643 מַעַשְׂרָה
This word has root
words ‘masha’ which is the name of ‘Masha’ which means ‘drawn out’, it has the
root word ‘asharah’ H6235 which means ‘ten’, it has the root word ‘sharah’
which means ‘princess/bracelet’, it has the root word ‘mah’ which means ‘belly’
and the root word ‘marah’ which means ‘bitter’.
The picture is of the
princess who is like a bracelet (a precious ornament) being masha/drawn out of
the mah/belly of marah/bitterness into the asharah/ten which is his
completeness. A journey from the tenth/tithe of the Torah of khat and muth to
the TEN/Completeness of the Torah of life.
Num 18:20 And יהוה said to Aharon, “You are not to have an inheritance in their
land, nor have any portion in their midst. I
am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 18:21 “And see, I
have given the children of Lĕwi all the
tenth/masharah H4643 in Yisra’ĕl as an inheritance in return for the
service which they are serving, the service of the Tent of Meeting.
The Levites living off
the tenth/masharah H4643 in Yasharal shows a portion of the whole. The whole is
Yahuah himself as he tells them ‘’I am your portion and your inheritance among
the children of Yasharal’’ and stood as a promised until fulfilled in the
renewed covenant of the Torah of life.
1Pe 2:9 But you are a
chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a preculiar people; so that you should show forth the praises of
Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1Pe2:10 which in time
past were not a people, but now the
people of Elohim; which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained
mercy.
Abraham paid the ‘masharah’ to Melchizedek:
Heb 7:1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High Al, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
I was always wondering how could there be a high priest of the Most High when there was no Masha’s Mishkan (tabernacle) yet, no temple yet, no sacrifices yet? I was amazed to see some facts from scriptures which show that there were high priests of Aluahym before even the Torah was given and this is what is called Dabar period when the father taught his son to sacrifice to Yahuah to be in a covenant with him.
Gen 14:17 Then after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh that is, the plain of the Kings.
Gen 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of Al Alyon.
Gen 14:19 He blessed him and said, Blessed be Abram of Al Alyon, Possessor of heaven and earth;
Gen 14:20 And blessed be Al Alyon, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. He gave to him a tithe/masharah H4643 of the MAN /Kind of H4480 WHOLE/KAL H3605
Most translations omit
the word ‘man’ H4480 which means ‘kind of/species’ and also means ‘portion’.
The Abary word ‘kal’ means ‘’whole/complete/all’’
The ‘masharah’ is the
deliverance of ‘Sarah’ his wife whose name means princess as being masha/drawn
out of the mah/belly of marah/bitterness into the asharah/ten which is his
completeness. Hence ‘masharah’ is a deliverance price of one-tenth of the whole
who is Mashiyach himself who will come through her womb as the ‘shar/ruler’ who
will deliver her barreness into fruitfulness. The Ruach is hidden in the
letter.
Who was Melchizedek?
Yasher 16 which is a historical book identifies Mechizedek to be ‘Shem’ the son
of Noach. While the scriptures are silent on the actual name of Melchizedek a
close look at scriptures show him being Shem. Melchizedek king of Salem
(peace) came out to Abraham with peace offerings bread (symbolizing the shew
bread) and the wine (drink offerings).
Heb 7:4 Now observe how
great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest
spoils.
And Levi who accepts tithe from the people was still in the loins of Abraham spiritually paying the tithe to Melchizedek through Abraham though not being born.
Heb 7:5 And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the office of the priesthood have a commandment in the Torah to collect a tenth/masharat H4643 from the people, that is, from their brethren, although they come out of the loins of Abraham.
Heb 7:6 But he whose genealogy is not counted from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him that had the promises.
Heb 7:7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater (ha Gadal).

Heb 7:7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater (ha Gadal).
The high priest stood in righteousness in
blessing Abraham and passing on his priestly blessing over to him. We then have
scripture confirming Abraham sacrificing for the first time because now he had the
high priestly blessing upon him which was a custom of a father giving his birth
right to his son which began right from Adam.
Gen 15:9 So He said to him, Bring for Me a three year old heifer, and a three year old female goat, and a three year old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
Gen 15:9 So He said to him, Bring for Me a three year old heifer, and a three year old female goat, and a three year old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
While scripture doesn’t
record of Adam sacrificing on the altar, how else would Abel learn to sacrifice
and his sacrifice was acceptable to Yahuah? It was obvious that this high
priestly blessing was passed upon him by Adam.
Gen 4:4 and Abel brought, he also, from the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And Yahuah had regard for Abel and for his offering;
Why would scripture compare Yahusha ha Mashiyach with Abel if Abel would not have been a type of high priest?
Gen 4:4 and Abel brought, he also, from the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And Yahuah had regard for Abel and for his offering;
Why would scripture compare Yahusha ha Mashiyach with Abel if Abel would not have been a type of high priest?
Heb 12:24 and to
Yahusha, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which
speaks better than the blood of Abel.
What did Esau loose? He lost his birthright as he sold this birthright to his brother Yaqoob much before than he lost it and though he sought repentance carefully with tears he did not get it.
Heb 12:16 lest there be any fornicator, or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his own birthright.
Heb 12:17 For you know that afterwards, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

Heb 12:17 For you know that afterwards, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Just after Yaqoob
received the high priestly blessing he saw the ladder going to heaven
Gen 28:16 Then Ya’aqob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Yahuah is in this place, and I did not know it. Gen 28:17 He was afraid and said, How awesome is this place! This is none except the house of Aluahym, and this is the gate of the heavens. Gen28:18 So Ya’aqob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head and placed it as a memorial and poured oil on its top. Gen 28:19 He called the name of that place Beth AL (house of AL); yet, Luz was the name of the city at first.
Didn’t Yahusha say in Yahuchanan 1:51 And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you shall see the heavens opened and the angels of Aluahym ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

Didn’t Yahusha say in Yahuchanan 1:51 And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you shall see the heavens opened and the angels of Aluahym ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
The house of AL is
Yahusha the Kahan ha Gadal and through the high priestly blessing upon him
Yaqoob saw and testified of Mashiyach.
Gen 11:10 These
are the generations of Shem. Shem was
one hundred years old, and fathered Arpachshad two years after the flood; Gen
11:11 and Shem lived five hundred years
after he fathered Arpachshad, and he fathered sons and daughters.
Shem lived 500 years after the flood. He outlived Abraham.
Gen 11:12 Arpachshad lived thirty-five years, and fathered Shelah;----35
Gen 11:14 Shelah lived thirty years, and fathered Eber;-30
Gen 11:16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and fathered Peleg;-34
Gen 11:18 Peleg lived thirty years, and fathered Reu;-30
Gen 11:20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and fathered Serug;-32
Gen 11:22 Serug lived thirty years, and fathered Nahor;-30
Gen 11:24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and fathered Terah;-29
Gen 11:26 Terah lived seventy years, and fathered Abram, Nahor and Haran.-70
35+30+34+30+32+30+29+70 =290
Shem was 390 years when Abraham was born. 100 years upto the flood plus 290 until Abraham. Shem lived 500 years after he begat Arpachshad.
Gen 11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
Terah lived 135 years (205-70 =135) after Abraham was born while Shem would have been 525 years when Terah died.
Gen 12:4 So Abram
departed, as Yahuah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was
seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Abraham left his father’s house while his father was yet alive and he was 75 years old.
Gen 25:7 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life that he lived, one hundred and seventy-five years.
Gen 25:8 Abraham expired and died in a good old age, aged, and satisfied and he was gathered to his people.
Shem was still alive even after Abraham died at 175. Shem would have been 390+175= 565 years when Abraham died and he lived another 37 years after Abraham to sum up 602 years (100 years unto flood +2 when Arpachshad was born+ 500 years after Arpachshad was born) and died.
Since the Abary lineage was from Shem, it’s quite possible that he was Melchizedek as stated in Yasher 16, a title attributed to him as per dabar.
This is what Yasher 16 records
11 And Adonizedek king of Jerusalem, the same was Shem, went out with his men to meet Abram and his people, with bread and wine, and they remained together in the valley of Melech.12 And Adonizedek blessed Abram, and Abram gave him a tenth from all that he had brought from the spoil of his enemies, for Adonizedek was a priest before God.
Gen 21:5 Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitschaq was born to him.
Abraham was 100 years old when his son Yitschaq was born to him.
Gen 25:20 and Yitschaq was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean to him, to be his wife.
Abraham was 140 years old when Yitschaq took Rebekah to be his wife. So Shem would have been 290+140 = 430 years when Yitschaq got married to Rebekah.
Gen 25:21 Yitschaq prayed to Yahuah on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and Yahuah was entreated for him and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Gen 25:22 But the
children struggled together in her womb; and she said, If it is so, why then am
I this way? So she went to inquire of Yahuah.
Where did Rebekah go to inquire if not to the high priest? There was no Mishkan, no tabernacle yet, no Levitical priesthood, no ephod, no Torah yet. She must have gone to the high priest at Salem to inquire from Yahuah.
When Yitschaq married
Rebekah he was 40 and Shem 430. Shem lived another 70 years to sum up his life
span of 500 years. So Yitschaq would have been 110 years (40 + 70 =110) when
Shem died.
2Pe3:7 But the heavens
and earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto
fire against the day of judgment and destruction of lawless men.
2Pe3:8 But, beloved, be
not ignorant of this one thing, that one
day is with Yahuah as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Not even one from our fathers who were type of high priests crossed the thousand-year mark to complete a day in Yahuah’s eyes but we have our Mashiyach with the power of an endless life.
Gen 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Adam fell short of the 1000 years. The longest one to live was MethuSelah
Gen 5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
After his transgression
Adam built and altar and offered sacrifices to Yahuah. When he died later his
son Seth became high priest in his place and when he died the priesthood went
to Methuselah who lived right until the flood during Noach’s time. Noach
learned the laws of sacrifice clean and unclean from Methuselah his great
grandfather who was still alive when he was born.
Gen 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto Yahuah; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Gen 8:21 And Yahuah smelled a sweet savour; and Yahuah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
Gen 5:26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
Gen 5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Gen 5:28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
Gen 5:29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which Yahuah hath cursed.
Methuselah lived 782 years after Lamech was born. Lamech was 182 years when Noach was born which means Methuselah was 187 years when Lamech was born (969-782=187) and 369 years when Noach was born (187+182=369).
Gen 5:25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
Noach was 500 years old when he begat Shem, Ham and Yapeth.
Gen 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Yapheth
Methuselah would have been 500+369 = 869 years when Shem was born and would have lived another 100 years making his total life span of 969 years. Shem would have been 100 years when Methuselah died and Noach would have been 600 years.
Gen 7:11 In the six
hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the
month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the
windows of heaven were opened.
So the flood came upon the earth just after Methuselah died. Noach found grace in the eyes of Yahuah and the high priestly blessing was transferred to him.
The priesthood of
Melchizedek was not through the law of a carnal commandment but through dabar
as we read in Pslams 110:4
Psa 110:4 יהוה has sworn and does not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order
of Malkitseḏeq.”
Jer 23:5 Behold, the
days come, saith Yahuah that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a
King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the
earth.
Jer 23:6 In his days Yahudah shall be saved, and Yasharal shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, Yahuah Tsadakanu.
Jer 23:6 In his days Yahudah shall be saved, and Yasharal shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, Yahuah Tsadakanu.
Some translations say ‘Adonizedek’
Later on this title became a known title for a ruler/king dwelling in Yarushalam.
Thus Melchizedek’s
priesthood was the doorway to the Son who is the Kahan Gadal who gave himself
for us. While Melchizedek a title for a priesthood through dabar, all the high
priests including Shem died falling short of the complete 1000 years yet this
priesthood lives forever in Mashiyach in an endless life
Heb 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of Aluahym; abideth a priest continually.
It is no coincidence that his name Sham (Shin Mem) means ‘breath’ and also means ‘name’ which speaks of ‘breath of vanity’ and is temporal and passing away. Whereas Mashiyach ‘s breath is the RUAH which he will give his people at his appearing and is immortal.
Thus the
‘masharah/one-tenth’ given to the earthly priest who couldn’t attain the ‘alaph
shanah/ thousand years’ was in hope of the eternal kahan ha gadul/high priest
Yahusha ha Mashiyach the whole portion, the ‘asharah/ten’ in whom is the
wholeness/completeness.
The Torah which came
written later came as a hope of deliverance in the one-tenth/masharah given to
the Levites as a reminder that Yahusha the whole portion i.e. the ‘asharah’
would make his people complete by paying the redemption price himself for his
princess in ending her barrenness through child bearing.
1Ti 2:14 And Aḏam was not deceived, but the woman,
having been deceived, fell into transgression.
1Ti 2:15 But she shall be saved in childbearing if
they continue in belief, and love, and set-apartness, with sensibleness.
Speaking of Sarah and
Hagar as allegory for the heavenly and earthly Yerushalam, Shaul the emissary
said of Sarah quoting YashaYahu 54:1
Gal 4:27 For it has been written, “Rejoice, O barren,
you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who do not have birth pains!
For the deserted one has many more children than she who has a husband.”
Gal 4:28 And we,
brothers, as Yitsḥaq was, are children of promise.
Lev 27:32 ‘And the WHOLE/KAL
H3605 tithe/masharah H643 of the herd and of the flock, the WHOLE/KAL H3605 which
crosses over/abar H5674 under the staff/shabath (shin bet tet) H7626, the tenth/ashayray
H6224 one is set-apart to יהוה.
The whole ‘masharah’
(Sarah masha/drawn out of the mah/belly of mar/bitterness) are the elect who
are the flock of Yahusha who cross over/abar (The word Abary comes from abar
which means crossed over) under the staff, the ashayray (which has Sarai rooted
in it which shows the promise of the end of barrenness) shall be set-apart to
Yahuah.
Those who see ‘tithe’
with their physical senses will never be able to understand the price that our
Master paid for our redemption to make us WHOLE.
Isa 6:8 And I heard the voice of יהוה, saying, “Whom do I send, and who would go for Us?” And I said,
“Here am I! Send me.”
Isa 6:9 And He said, “Go, and you shall say to this
people, ‘Hearing, you hear, but do not understand; and seeing, you see, but do
not know.’
Isa 6:10 “Make the heart of this people fat, and their
ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with
their ears, and understand with their heart, and shall turn and be healed.”
Isa 6:11 Then I said, “יהוה, until when?” And He answered, “Until the cities are laid waste
and without inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land is laid
waste, a ruin,
Isa 6:12 and יהוה has removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in
the midst of the land.
Isa 6:13 Yet there
shall be a tenth/ashayray H6224 in it, and it shall return/shub H7225, and
shall be consumed/bar H1197 as a terebinth/alah H424, and as an oak/alun H437
whose stump/matsabath H4678 is in them, when it is felled/shalakath H7995. The
holy seed is its stump/matsabath H4678.
Speaking of the remnant
whom Yahuah would keep close to him, the promise is seen again in the word
‘ashayray’ which has the promise of the end of barrenness as a terebinth/alah,
it’s interesting to see the word ‘alah’ which has the ‘AL’ in it which is the
short form for Alahym and also ‘alah’ means ‘swear/oath’, it also means power (The
power or might of one who rules or teaches. One who yokes with another)
The oak again has ‘AL’
the short form for ‘Alahym’ and the ‘un’ shows the ‘strength’
The word translated as
‘stump’ is the word ‘matsabath’ has the root words ‘mats’ which means ‘squeeze’
and is the root word in ‘matsah’ H4682 which means ‘unleavened bread’. The word
‘matsabath’ also has the word ‘bet’ which means ‘house/tent/body’. The word
‘matsabath’ is also translated as ‘pillar’. The word for felled is ‘shalakath’
which has root words ‘shal’ which means ‘draw out’ and ‘kat’ which means ‘crush’
(Draw out and crush). And the Qodesh/Holy seed is the ‘matsabath’. The Ruach is
hidden in the letter and we see the beautiful picture of the ‘Barren Sarai/ ashayray returning/shub and
being consumed/bar with the oath/alah made to her as ‘Al-strong’ whose
unleavened bread body is in her, when it is drawn out/shal and crushed/kat. The
qodesh seed is it’s unleavened bread body’.
It’s an amazing picture
of Mashiyach as the consummation of the oath made to end her barrenness as he
would spring forth from her womb in delivering her in child bearing whose body
in her when it is drawn out and crushed for her and her seed’s sins.
Eze 45:10 “Have right scales, and a right ĕphah, and a
right bath.
Eze 45:11 “Let the
ĕphah and the bath be of the one/ahkad H259 measure/takan H8506, so that the
bath contains one-tenth/masharah H4643 of a ḥomer/khamar H2563, and the ĕphah
one-tenth/ashayray H6224 of a ḥomer/khamar H2563. Let their measure/matakanath
H4971 be according to the ḥomer/khamar H2563.
Exo 16:36 And an omer/amar
H6016 is one-tenth/ashayray H6224 of an ĕphah H374.
The ephah and bath were
OT measures and Yahuah says to have a righteous measure/takan. The word takan
is the same word used in Ezekiel 28 where it says of Shatan that he seals up
the sum/takan.
‘takan’ H8505 which
means ‘to measure/weigh/estimate/sum’. Takan: Tau/Covenant Kan/Base: ‘Covenant
base’
It’s interesting to see
Exodus 16:36 using the word ‘amar’ H6016 which also means ‘sheaf’ and is used
in reference to Yahusha being the firstfruits/bakar and is pre-eminent as he is
the firstborn over all creation and firstborn from the dead.
Lev 23:10 “Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land
which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf/amar H6016 of the first-fruits of
your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11 ‘And he shall wave the sheaf/amar H6016 before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the
priest waves it.
Exo 16:36 shows the
manna was measured in a sheaf/amar which was one tenth/ashayray (in hope of end
of barrenness) of an ephah. The manna is also in the word which we saw H4480
which also means ‘portion’. The manna came in portions and not WHOLE and stood
for the true bread who would come down from heaven i.e. Mashiyach.
The word used in
Ezekiel 45:11 is khamar (homer) as they pronounce it and means ‘Clay/Mortar’
and it speaks of mankind who is mud/clay. The ephah and bath (bath also means ‘house/tent/body)
were to be of AHKAD/ONE MEASURE/TAKAN.
The bath (which also
means house/tent/body) was to be one-tenth/masharah /Sarah drawn out/mash of
the belly/mah of bitterness/mar &
The ephah one-tenth
/ashayray/Sarai in a promise of deliverance of barrenness of clay/khamar.
The measure of ephah
and bath were made one in Mashiyach who is the true measure, the TEN and the
promise of making the portion one-tenth/masharah or ashayray WHOLE/KAL in him.
Rev 11:13 And in that
hour there was a great earthquake, and a
tenth/asharayat of the city fell, and
in the earthquake were killed names of men seven thousand and the rest were
terrified and gave glory to the El of heaven.
The ‘ashayray’ went
through a shaking/earthquake which killed seven thousand (figurative of those
in the carnal city Yerushalam i.e. the seed of Hagar who are in bondage), while
the remnant who saw the promise of the deliverance of Sarai from her barrenness
through Mashiyach were terrified and gave glory to the AL of heaven while the
carnal seed who couldn’t see fell away.
