CHAPTER 35
Exodus 35:1-35

Exo 35:1 And Moses assembled 
ta-all of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel, and said to them, These are the Words which hwhy commanded to do them. 2 Six days you shall do work, and in the seventh day shall be to you a Sacred (Holy) Shabbath Shabbathon (Intermittent Shabbath, Intermittent Rest, Intermittent Repose) to hwhy: anyone doing work in him shall die. 3 You shall not kindle (burn, ?feed?) a fire in any of your dwellings on the day of the Shabbath.

4 And Moses spoke to all of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel, to say, This is the Word which 
hwhy commanded, to say, 5 Take from with you ta a Heave Offering (Raise Offering) to hwhy: anyone willing (voluntary) of his heart, and shall bring her a Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of hwhy of gold, and the silver, and copper, 6 and blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and kid goats, 7 and skins of rams with red, and skins of clean animals (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?, ?waterproof animals?, ?waterproof?), and shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)], 8 and oil for the light, and spices for the Oil of the Anointing, and for the Incense of Sweetness (Aroma), 9 and Stones of onyx, and Stones of Fillings (Settings) for the Ephod and for the Pocket (Breast Pocket).

10 And all wise of heart among you, they shall come (arrive), and they shall do (make)
ta all which hwhy commanded; 11 ta-the Tabernacle, ta-his Tent, and ta-his Covering (Concealment), ta-his Buckles (Taches), and ta-his Boards, ta-his Bars, ta-his Pillars, and ta-his Sockets, 12 ta-the Ark, and ta-his Poles, ta-the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat), and ta the Veil of the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain), 13 ta-the Table, and ta-his Poles, and ta-all of his Vessels, and ta the Bread of the Faces, 14 And ta-the Menorah of the Light, and ta-her Vessels, and ta-her Lamps, and ta the Oil of the Light, 15 And ta-the Altar of the Incense, and ta-his Poles, and ta the Oil of the Anointing, and ta the Incense of the Sweetness (Aroma), and ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Entrance for the Enterance of the Tabernacle, 16 ta the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and ta-the Grill Cover (Grate Cover) of Copper which belongs to him, ta-his Poles, and ta-all of his Vessels, ta-the Laver and ta-his Base, 17 ta the Slings (Sling Screens, Screens, Leaves, Valves, Hangings) of the Court, ta-his Pillars, and ta-her Sockets, and ta the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Gate of the Court, 18 ta-the Pins (Pegs) of the Tabernacle, and ta-the Pins (Pegs) of the Court, and ta-their Cords, 19 ta-the Stiched Garments to minister in the Sacred Area, ta-the Sacred (Holy) Garments for Aaron, the Priest, and ta-the Garments of his sons for the Priestship (Priestly Acts).

20 And all of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel, they went out from by the face of Moses. 21 And
they came, every man, which was lifted up (bore up) of him of his heart, and all of his spirit which was willing (voluntary) with him, they brought ta-the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of hwhy for the work of the Tent of Appointment, and for all of his Service, and for the Sacred (Holy) Garments. 22 And they came, the men upon the women, everyone willing (voluntary) of heart, they brought bracelets (pierced rings), and nose rings (ear rings), and signet rings (seal rings), and jewelry, all vessels of gold: and every man which waved a Wave Offering of gold to hwhy. 23 And every man which was found with him blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and kid goats, and skins of rams with red, and skins of clean animals (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?, ?waterproof animals?, ?waterproof?), they brought. 24 All heaving up (raising up) a Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of silver and copper, they brought ta the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of hwhy: and everyone which was found with him shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)] for any work of the Service, they brought.

25 And every women wise of heart, they spun on her hands, and they brought the spun yarn, 
ta-the blue, and ta-the purple, and ta-the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and ta-the linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen). 26 And all the women which lifted up (bore up) the hearts of them in wisdom, they spun ta-the kid goats.

27 And the rulers (leaders), they brought 
ta the Stones of the Onyx and ta Stones of the Fillings (Settings) for the Ephod, and for the Pocket (Breast Pocket); 28 And ta-the Spice, and ta-the Oil for the Light, and for the Oil of the Anointing, and for the Incense of the Sweetness (Aromas). 29 Every man and woman which hearts are willing (voluntary) of them to bring for all of the work which hwhy commanded to be done on the hand of Moses, the Sons of Israel, they brought a Freewill Offering (Voluntary Offering) to hwhy.

30 And Moses said to the Sons of Israel, See, hwhy hath called in name of Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31 And has filled him with the Spirit of Elohim in wisdom, in intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all workmanship; 32 And for the weaving (fabricating,  embroidering, devising, interpenetrating) of fabrication (texture, cunning work, needlework, textile), to do (make) in the gold, and in the silver, and in the copper, 33 and in the carving (cutting) of stones, for fillings (settings), and in the carving (cutting) of trees (wood), to do (make) in all workmanship of fabrication (texture, cunning work, needlework, textile). 34 And was given in his heart to teach, he, and Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, 35 was filled of them wisdom of heart to do every work of the engraver (craftsman, artificer), and a weaver (embroiderer, fabricator, deviser, interpenetrater), and a needler (fabricator, texturer, cunning work) in the blue, and in the purple, in the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and in the linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and a braider (rugger, weaver); doers of every work, and weave (fabricate, embroider, devise, interpenetrate) fabrication (texture, cunning work, needlework, textile).


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)


This chapter alone has fifty five Aleph-Tavs, the most in any chapter throughout the five books of the Torah.


Verses one through three

THE SHABBATH

1 And Moses assembled ta-all of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel, and said to them, These are the Words which hwhy commanded to do them. 2 Six days you shall do work, and in the seventh day shall be to you a Sacred (Holy) Shabbath Shabbathon (Intermittent Shabbath, Intermittent Rest, Intermittent Repose) to hwhy: anyone doing work in him shall die. 3 You shall not kindle (burn, ?feed?) a fire in any of your dwellings on the day of the Shabbath.

It most likely was noted first to remind the Congregation to not work on the elements for the Tabernacle on the Shabbath, because it is 
hwhy's Shabbath from the creation period, which is noted in the Torah portion of B'reyshith, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 2:1 And the Heavens and the Earth and all of their host (armies), they were finished. 2 And in the seventh day, Elohim finished His work which was done (made), and reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) on the seventh day from all of His work which was done (made). 3 And Elohim blessed ta-the seventh day and sanctified him, for in him had reposed (desisted, rested, relaxed, shabbated) from all of His work, which Elohim created for the doing (making).

It also symbolizes Yeshua is "the Living Shabbath", and are to enter into His Rest.
Yeshua noted this in regards to the Shabbath, which is noted in the Gospel of Mark

Mark 2:27 And He said unto them, the Shabbath was made for man, and not man for the Shabbath:

What Yeshua was saying is that "the Shabbath" is "Yeshua, the Living Shabbath". In other words, hwhy set the date for the Shabbath, the seventh day, for the benefit of mankind, but man does not make the Shabbath in his own way for the benefit of hwhy or for himself, and that means "changing the Shabbath Day", as the Roman Church did in the fourth or fifth century AD by changing the day from Friday sundown through Saturday sundown to midnight Sunday morning through 11:59 PM Sunday night. That would be doing it in works without hwhy, and man would take the credit and acknowledgment away from hwhy., which goes aganist the Third Word (Commandment), which is noted in the Torah portion of Yithro, in the book of Exodus

Exodus 20:7 You shall not lift up (bear, carry) ta-the Name of hwhy, your Elohim, for vanity (falsehood, useless, naught); for hwhy will not leave guiltless (innocent, unpunished) ta which lifts up (bear, carry) ta-His Name for vanity (falsehood, useless, naught).

 The Tabernacle is symbolic of Yeshua, and for the Tabernacle to be constructed during the Shabbath would take away Yeshua as the Living Shabbath.

In verse three of this week's Torah portion passage, the purpose for Moses emphasizing the Shabbath again is to bring the issue regarding kindling a fire. If one kindles a fire, they are "creating" a fire, and 
hwhy did not do any creation on the Shabbath day. If one is to have a fire, they are to have it already active before the Shabbath starts at sunset. If one adds wood to an already existing fire, it is not kindling a fire, but "maintaining" a fire. If one needs to cook on a stove (hopefully an electrical one), one should turn it on and keep it in a position that is just shy of being turned off when not in use, and it would be acceptable. I don't know what to say about a stove that uses gas. I have not experienced with one on the Shabbath. Contact personnel that you know and trust that has gas stoves and consider their counsel. The choice is up to you whether or not you should have a gas stove running while away from it. I use a microwave as long as the electricity is on and the microwave is plugged in to a live outlet, I consider it already kindled. If the microwave is not attached to the outlet, to me as long as the electricity is going through the outlet it is ok, but I suggest you go to your Creator on these matters.

Looking at the word ASSEMBLY

The Hebrew word for assembly is "kah-hahl"- Kuph, Heh, Lamed (
lhq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 6950, and its definition

A primitive root; to convoke: - assemble (selves) (together), gather (selves) (together).

If one looks in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), this word is applied in the Greek

The Greek for assembly is "ehk-k'ley-see-ah" (ekklhsia). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1577, and its definition

From a compound of G1537 and a derivative of G2564; a calling out, that is, (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both): - assembly, church.

This is the same word from the Hebrew word "kahal", because kahal is in "eKHALessia". Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries, and other Messianic/Hebraic Roots teachers noted that it means "called out ones". This Hebrew word is where we get our modern English word "call".

Mark Biltz also noted that this Greek word existed around 132 B.C. before the Greek Brith Khadashah (New Covenant) existed, and that the Greek word meant "assembly" and not "church" as the English translators, especially those for the King James Version, "biasly" translated this Greek word in different variations. He gave an example when Yeshua was talking to Peter regarding the "Rock"
, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the Living Elohim. 17 And Yeshua answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar Jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which is in Heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build  My Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.


Mark noted that the word "church" is not the right word, because there was no "church" during Yeshua's time, when this Greek word came out over 130 years prior. The right word should be "assembly". This is how it should be translated

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build My Assembly; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Saturday, March 5, 2016: He Gathered (Vayakhel)


Mark Biltz



Verses four through nine

4 And Moses spoke to all of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel, to say, This is the Word which hwhy commanded, to say, 5 Take from with you ta a Heave Offering (Raise Offering) to hwhy: anyone willing (voluntary) of his heart, and shall bring her a Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of hwhy of gold, and the silver, and copper, 6 and blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and kid goats, 7 and skins of rams with red, and skins of clean animals (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?, ?waterproof animals?, ?waterproof?), and shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)], 8 and oil for the light, and spices for the Oil of the Anointing, and for the Incense of Sweetness (Aroma), 9 and Stones of onyx, and Stones of Fillings (Settings) for the Ephod and for the Pocket (Breast Pocket).

Looking at the word WILLING (VOLUNTARY)

The Hebrew word for willing (voluntary) is "nah-deev"- Nun, Dalet, Yod, Bet (
bydn). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5081, and its definition

From H5068; properly voluntary, that is, generous; hence, magnanimous; as noun, a grandee (sometimes a tyrant): - free, liberal (things), noble, prince, willing ([hearted]).

from 5068 "nah-dahv" (
bdn), and its definition

A primitive root; to impel; hence to volunteer (as a soldier), to present spontaneously: - offer freely, be (give, make, offer self) willing (-ly).

The next time this Hebrew word, "nadeev" (
bydn), is noted again is in verse twenty two of this week's Torah portion chapter, and later in the Torah in Numbers 21:18. This word in its four letter format is only used twenty eight times in the entire Tanakh.



Verses ten through nineteen

10 And all wise of heart among you, they shall come (arrive), and they shall do (make) ta all which hwhy commanded; 11 ta-the Tabernacle, ta-his Tent, and ta-his Covering (Concealment), ta-his Buckles (Taches), and ta-his Boards, ta-his Bars, ta-his Pillars, and ta-his Sockets, 12 ta-the Ark, and ta-his Poles, ta-the Mercy Seat (Atoning Seat), and ta the Veil of the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain), 13 ta-the Table, and ta-his Poles, and ta-all of his Vessels, and ta the Bread of the Faces, 14 And ta-the Menorah of the Light, and ta-her Vessels, and ta-her Lamps, and ta the Oil of the Light, 15 And ta-the Altar of the Incense, and ta-his Poles, and ta the Oil of the Anointing, and ta the Incense of the Sweetness (Aroma), and ta-the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Entrance for the Enterance of the Tabernacle, 16 ta the Altar of the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and ta-the Grill Cover (Grate Cover) of Copper which belongs to him, ta-his Poles, and ta-all of his Vessels, ta-the Laver and ta-his Base, 17 ta the Slings (Sling Screens, Screens, Leaves, Valves, Hangings) of the Court, ta-his Pillars, and ta-her Sockets, and ta the Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) of the Gate of the Court, 18 ta-the Pins (Pegs) of the Tabernacle, and ta-the Pins (Pegs) of the Court, and ta-their Cords, 19 ta-the Stiched Garments to minister in the Sacred Area, ta-the Sacred (Holy) Garments for Aaron, the Priest, and ta-the Garments of his sons for the Priestship (Priestly Acts).

Notice it requires those who are wise of heart to make the Tent of Appointment.

Indirectly related, these following verses relate to incentive acts for those who are wise of heart, which are noted by king Solomon in the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes

Proverbs 11:29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

Proverbs 16:21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

Proverbs 16:23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

Ecclesiastes 7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted that 
hwhy wants us as believers to be willing of heart to do His Will and do His Service in Yeshua.


Looking at the word SLING (SLING SCREEN, SCREEN, LEAVE, VALVE, HANGING)

The Hebrew word for sling (sling screen, screen, leave, valve, hanging) is "keh-lah"- Kuph, Lambed, Ayin (
elq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7050, and its definition

From H7049; a sling; also a (door) screen (as if slung across), or the valve (of the door) itself: - hanging, leaf, sling.

from 7049 "kah-lah" (
elq), and its definition

A primitive root; to sling; also to carve (as if a circular motion, or into light forms): - carve, sling (out).

If one looks at the Hebrew word, it is similar to the Hebrew word "keel-yah"- Kaph, Lamed, Yod, Heh (
hylk), which translates as "kidney". It is possible that the sling is in connection to the kidneys which are accepted as the seat of the emotions.

Verses twenty through twenty four

20 And all of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel, they went out from by the face of Moses. 21 And they came, every man, which was lifted up (bore up) of him of his heart, and all of his spirit which was willing (voluntary) with him, they brought ta-the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of hwhy for the work of the Tent of Appointment, and for all of his Service, and for the Sacred (Holy) Garments. 22 And they came, the men upon the women, everyone willing (voluntary) of heart, they brought bracelets (pierced rings), and nose rings (ear rings), and signet rings (seal rings), and jewelry, all vessels of gold: and every man which waved a Wave Offering of gold to hwhy. 23 And every man which was found with him blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and kid goats, and skins of rams with red, and skins of clean animals (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?, ?waterproof animals?, ?waterproof?), they brought. 24 All heaving up (raising up) a Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of silver and copper, they brought ta the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of hwhy: and everyone which was found with him shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)] for any work of the Service, they brought.

The Tent of Appointment had to be built based on the willing hearts of the People. It was not based on obligation. If evil drug dealers who do not care about People built for you a new house, would you move into it?

This principle was applied in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant)
regarding the difference between a cheerful and a sparingly giver, which the apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the assembly in Corinth

2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for hwhy loveth a cheerful giver.

This is because 
hwhy gave His Son to us, which is noted in the Gospel of John

John 3:16 For hwhy so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. 17 For hwhy sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

Also indirectly related, Yeshua commanded His disciples to minister unto the Lost Ten Northern Tribes of Israel, because the diciples freely received so that they could freely give, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 10:5 These twelve Yeshua sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel [the Ten Northern Tribes]. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

As Yeshua told His disciples to do it freely, or willingly, as Yeshua did, so did the Israelites that gave willingly for the building of the Tent of Appointment.

In verse twenty two of this week's Torah portion passage, one of the items that was mentioned to bring was a nose ring.

Looking at the word NOSE RING

The Hebrew word for nose ring is "neh-zehm"- Nun Zayin, Mem Sophit (
Mzn). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5141, and its definition

From an unused root of uncertain meaning; a nose ring: - earring, jewel.

This is where we get our modern word "nose" without the Hebrew letter Mem.


Looking at the word BRACELET (PIERCED RING)

The Hebrew word for bracelet (pierced ring) is "khakh"- Khet, Khet (
xx). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2397, and its definition

From the same as H2336; a ring for the nose (or lips): - bracelet, chain, hook.

from 2336 "khoh-akh" (
xwx), and its definition

From an unused root apparently meaning to pierce; a thorn; by analogy a ring for the nose: - bramble, thistle, thorn.



Verses twenty five and twenty six

25 And every women wise of heart, they spun on her hands, and they brought the spun yarn, ta-the blue, and ta-the purple, and ta-the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and ta-the linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen). 26 And all the women which lifted up (bore up) the hearts of them in wisdom, they spun ta-the kid goats.

The interesting part of this passage is that we can vision these women spinning the fabrics together to make yarn. This would make an interesting movie scene.



Verses twenty seven through twenty nine

27 And the rulers (leaders), they brought ta the Stones of the Onyx and ta Stones of the Fillings (Settings) for the Ephod, and for the Pocket (Breast Pocket); 28 And ta-the Spice, and ta-the Oil for the Light, and for the Oil of the Anointing, and for the Incense of the Sweetness (Aromas). 29 Every man and woman which hearts are willing (voluntary) of them to bring for all of the work which hwhy commanded to be done on the hand of Moses, the Sons of Israel, they brought a Freewill Offering (Voluntary Offering) to hwhy.

Why were the rulers the ones that brought the precious stones and not the others? Were there levels of social classes already existing in the Israelite community that the rulers were the only ones possessing the precious stones? I don't have an answer to that at this time.



Verses thirty through thirty five

BEZALEL AND AHOLIAB

30 And Moses said to the Sons of Israel, See, hwhy hath called in name of Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31 And has filled him with the Spirit of Elohim in wisdom, in intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all workmanship; 32 And for the weaving (fabricating,  embroidering, devising, interpenetrating) of fabrication (texture, cunning work, needlework, textile), to do (make) in the gold, and in the silver, and in the copper, 33 and in the carving (cutting) of stones, for fillings (settings), and in the carving (cutting) of trees (wood), to do (make) in all workmanship of fabrication (texture, cunning work, needlework, textile). 34 And was given in his heart to teach, he, and Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, 35 was filled of them wisdom of heart to do every work of the engraver (craftsman, artificer), and a weaver (embroiderer, fabricator, deviser, interpenetrater), and a needler (fabricator, texturer, cunning work) in the blue, and in the purple, in the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and in the linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and a braider (rugger, weaver); doers of every work, and weave (fabricate, embroider, devise, interpenetrate) fabrication (texture, cunning work, needlework, textile).

One thing I did not note in the Torah portion of Ki Thisa, int the book of Exodus, that these two guys were filled with the Spirit of 
hwhy. These were two of the People who were not major leaders in the Tanakh that were filled with the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit).

This is again the definitions of each men with their ancestors' names that create phrases:

BEZALEL/URI/HUR/JUDAH

"In the shadow of El, He shines in praise"


AHOLIAB/AHISAMACH/DAN

"The Tent of the Father is a Brother of support who judges"

Both of these relate to Yeshua, the Messiah.

Indirectly related, the prophet Isaiah prophecied of one who will be filled with gifts of the Ruakh of
hwhy, which is noted in his book

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the Spirit of hwhy shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the Fear of hwhy;

This is Yeshua whom Isaiah prophesied.

The apostle Paul wrote regarding the Spirt of hwhy providing gifts for the body, which is noted in his letter to the assembly in Corinth 

1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of hwhy calleth Yeshua accursed: and that no man can say that Yeshua is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Elohim. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same Elohim which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Messiah. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14  For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath the Lord set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but the Lord hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the Body of Messiah, and members in particular. 28 And hwhy hath set some in the assembly, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

As 
hwhy provided the gifts of the Spirit to different members of the body of the Congregation, so that hwhy gave gifts to Bezaleel and Aholiab for the purpose to build the Tent of Appointment.

There are other examples of those whom were given the Ruakh (Spirit) of 
hwhy, which are noted in the book of the Judges

OTHNIEL, CALEB'S NEPHEW

Judges 3:10 And the Spirit of hwhy came upon him, and he judged ta-Israel, and went out to war: and hwhy delivered ta-Chushan Rishathaim, king of Aram, into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan Rishathaim.

GIDEON

Judges 6:34 But the Spirit of 
hwhy came upon ta-Gideon, and he blew a shofar; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

JEPHTHAH

Judges 11:29 Then the Spirit of 
hwhy came upon Jephthah, and he passed over ta-the Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over ta-Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the sons of Ammon.

KING SAUL

1 Samuel 10:6 And the Spirit of hwhy will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

The Ruakh (Spirit) of hwhy can come on more than one time for the occasions at the moment of need, which is noted in the book of the Judges

SAMSON


Judges 13:25 And the Spirit of 
hwhy began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.

Judges 14:6 And the Spirit of 
hwhy came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother ta what he had done.

Judges 14:19 And the Spirit of 
hwhy came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took ta-their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.

Judges 15:14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of 
hwhy came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.

Four times the Ruakh (Spirit) of 
hwhy came on Samson.

hwhy can also take away the Ruakh (Spirit) of hwhy from one person and give it to another, which is noted in the book of the prophet Samuel

KING SAUL
1 Samuel 16:13 Then Samuel took ta-the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of hwhy came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 14 But the Spirit of hwhy departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from ta hwhy troubled him.

Because Saul rebelled against 
hwhyhwhy took away His Ruakh (Spirit) from him and gave it to David.

The Ruakh 
(Spirit) of hwhy could also transport people, which is noted in the book fo the prophet Ezekiel:

THE PROPHET EZEKIEL

Ezekiel 37:1 The Hand of hwhy was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of hwhy, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

How would you like to be transported to Israel by the
Ruakh (Spirit) of hwhy?

These are just a few examples what the Ruakh 
(Spirit) of hwhy did for these People throughout the Tanakh.

Looking at the word WEAVER

The Hebrew word for weaver is "oh-reyg"- Aleph, Resh, Gimel (
gra). It is from Strong's Concordance number 707 "arag", and its definition

"A primitive root; to plait or weave: - weaver (-r)".

This is where we get our modern English word "rug".







CHAPTER 36
Exodus 36:1-38

Exo 36:1 And was the doing (work) of Bezaleel and Aholiab and every man wise of heart which
hwhy has given wisdom and intelligence in them, to the knowing to the doing of ta-every work of Service of the Sanctuary to all which hwhy commanded. 2 And Moses called to Bezaleel, and to Aholiab, and to every man wise of heart which hwhy had given wisdom in his heart, everyone which had lifted (bore) him his heart to draw near to the work to do her: 3 And they took from of the face of Moses ta all of the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) which the Sons of Israel, they had brought for the work of the Service of the Sanctuary to do (make) of her. And they, they still brought to him Freewill Offerings (Voluntary Offerings) in the breaking period (morning), in the breaking period (morning). 4 And all of the wise men, the ones doing ta every work of the Sanctuary, they came, a man, a man, from his work which they were doing;

5 And they spoke to Moses, to say, The People, they are bringing multiple (more) than enough of the service for the work which 
hwhy commanded to do (make) her. 6 And Moses commanded, and they made go over a sound (voice) in the Camp, to say, A man and a woman, they shall not do (make) anymore work for the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of the Sanctuary. And the People were restrained (restricted, had finished, had ended) from bringing. 7 And their workmanship, she was enough for all of the work to do (make) her, and was a remainder.

8 And every wise of heart among the doers of the work of
ta-the Tabernacle, they did (made) ten Curtains (Hangings) of twisted (fine) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), and blue, and purple, and the crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))]: of Cherubims of a work of a weaver (embroider, fabricater, deviser, interpenetrater), did (made) them. 9 The length of the one Curtain (Hanging) was eight and twenty on the cubit, and the width of the one Curtain (Hanging) was four on the cubit: the one measure for all of the Curtains (Hangings). 10 And ta-five Curtains (Hangings) were joined, one to one: and five Curtains (Hangings) were joined, one to one. 11 And did (made) loops of blue upon the lip (edge) of the one Curtain (Hanging) from the end in the joining: so was done in the lip (edge) of the last Curtain (Hanging) in the joining (juncture) of the second. 12 Fifty loops were made in the one Curtain (Hanging), and the fifty loops were made in the last (end) of the Curtain (Hanging) which was in the joining (juncture) of the second: the loops admitting, one to one. 13 And did (made) fifty Buckles (Taches) of gold, and joined ta-the Curtains (Hangings), one to one, on the Buckles (Taches): and became the Tabernacle one.






















14 And did (made) Curtains
(Hangings) of kid goats for a Tent upon (over) the Tabernacle: made them of tenth ten (tenthteen, eleven) Curtains (Hangings). 15 The length of the one Curtain (Hanging) was thirty on the cubit, and four Cubits was the width of the one Curtain (Hanging): one measure for the tenth ten (tenthteen, eleven) Curtains (Hangings). 16 And he joined ta-the five Curtains (Hangings) by apartness, and ta-the six Curtains (Hangings) by apartness. 17 And fifty loops were done (made) upon (over) the lip (edge) of the last (end) Curtain (Hanging) in the joining (juncture), and the fifty loops were done (made) upon the lip (edge) upon the Curtain (Hanging) that joined the second. 18 And fifty Buckles (Taches) of copper were done (made) to join ta-the Tent to be one.

19 And was done (made) a Cover for the Tent of skins of rams with red, and a Cover of skins of 
clean animals, (kosher animals, antelopes, dugongs, ?badgers?) from by above (upon).

20 And did (made)
ta-the Boards for the Tabernacle of shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)], standing up. 21 The length of the Board was ten cubits, and the width of the one Board was one cubit and the half of the cubit. 22 Two  Hands (Pins) were for the one Board of equal distance (evenly spaced), one to one: so was done for (to) all of the Boards of the Tabernacle.

23 And did (made)
ta-the Boards for the Tabernacle; twenty Boards for the negev (south) mouth (side) rightward (southward): 24 And forty Sockets of silver were done (made) under the twenty Boards; two sockets under the one Board for his two Hands (Pins), and two Sockets under the one Board for his two Hands (Pins).

25 And for the second rib (side) of the Tabernacle, for the hidden (north) mouth (end), made twenty Boards, 26 And their forty Sockets of silver; two Sockets under the one Board, and two Sockets under the one Board. 27 And six Boards were made for the rear sides (thighs, testacles) of the Tabernacle seaward (westward).

 28 And two Boards were done (made) for the Angles (Corners) of the Tabernacle in their 
rear sides (thighs, testacles). 29 And they were completed (twinned) from below (beneath), and together they were complete (twinned) to his Head (Chapiter) to the one Ring: so were done to both of them for the two Angles (Corners). 30 And they were eight Boards; and their Sockets were six ten (sixteen) Sockets of silver, two Sockets, two Sockets under the one board.

31 And did (made) Bars of 
shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)]; five for the Boards to the one rib (side) of the Tabernacle, 32 And the five Bars for the Boards for the second rib (side) of the Tabernacle, and the five Bars for the boards of the Tabernacle for the rear sides (thighs, testacles) seaward (westward). 33 And did (made) ta-the Middle (Center) Bar to shoot through (bolt through, bore through) in the midst of the Boards from the end to the end. 34 And overlaid (sheeted over) ta-the Boards of gold, and did (made) ta-their Rings of gold of housings for ta-the Bars, and overlaid (sheeted over) the Bars of gold.

35 And did (made)
ta-the Veil of blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen): a doing (work) of a weaver weave (embroider, fabricator, plaiter, deviser, interpenetrater) made her of Cherubims. 36 And did made (did) for her four Pillars of shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)], and overlaid (sheeted over) them of gold: their Nails of gold; and mold (cast, molten, pour out) four Sockets of silver for them.

37 And did (made) a 
Screen Cover (Screen Curtain) for the Entrance of the Tent of blue, and purple, and crimson (red) worm [(worm of the crimson (red))], and twisted (twined) linen (six stringed linen, six bleached linen, bleached linen, white linen), a doer (work) of a fabricator (texturer, cunning work, needler); 38 And ta-his five Pillars, and ta-their Nails: and overlaid (sheeted over) their Heads (Chapiters) and their Nails of gold: and their five Sockets were of copper.


(Note: not all verses will have comments)


Notice that this week's Torah portion chapter is about putting together the housing of the Tent of Appointment first. When one builds a house, one doesn't put in the furniture first and then build the house afterwards.

First, it started with the top Curtain attached by the ten Curtains- symbol of the Ten Words (Commandments). This is the first item put together. This is also the first thing that we as believers in Yeshua start in our walk is the Ten Words (Commandments) by first restoring the practice of the Shabbath, the Fourth Word (Commandment) and understanding that the First Word (Commandment) is to "believe"
hwhy for who He is and for delievering us from the land of Egypt (symbolic of the world), from the house of slavery (the enslaved wordly lifestyle). Then it goes from the heart of the Tabernacle, starting with the Holy of Holies (the symbol of our hearts). This is the same order noted in the Torah portions of T'rumah and T'tsavveh.

Afterward, the process generally goes from the inside to the outside. That is how
hwhy works in us as believers from the inside of our hearts to the outside of our souls and bodies. Even Yeshua got after the Pharisees for looking clean from the outside but being corrupt and dead inside, which is noted in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke

Matthew 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Luke 11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

Yeshua was telling the Pharisees that the inside of them was full of wickedness and evil and of the doctrines of men, and commanded them to cleanse themselves inside with righteousness, so that the outside will be cleansed as well.
 


There is really not much to talk about in this chapter, because as I noted, they were commented in the Torah portions of T'rumah and T'savveh. But I will bring up a couple of things.



Verses three through seven

3 And they took from of the face of Moses ta all to the Heave Offering which the Sons of Israel, they had brought for the work of the Service of the Sanctuary to do (make) of her. And they, they still brought to him Freewill Offerings in the breaking period (morning), in the breaking period (morning). 4 And all of the wise men the ones doing ta every work of the Sanctuary, they came, a man, a man, from his work which they were doing; 5 And they spoke to Moses, to say, The People, they are bringing much (more) than enough of the service for the work which hwhy commanded to do (make) her. 6 And Moses commanded, and they made go over a sound (voice) in the Camp, to say, A man and a woman shall not do (make) anymore work for the Heave Offering of the Sanctuary. And the People were restrained (restricted, had finished, had ended) from bringing. 7 And their workmanship, she was enough for all of the work to do her, and was a remainder.

How many organizations would we like hear in saying "We have enough funds. Don't give us anymore"? These organizations should follow this lead in Torah week's  Torah portion passage.

Yeshua could have based this Torah portion passage in His teaching, which is noted in the Gosepl of Luke

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.



Looking at the following words in this week's Torah portion chapter:

BOARD

The Hebrew word for board is "keh-resh"- Kuph, Resh, Shin (
srq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7175, and its definition

From an unused root meaning to split off; a slab or plank; by implication a deck of a ship: - bench, board.

This is where we get our modern English word "crash", as in crashing boards.


BAR

The Hebrew word for bar is "b'ree-akh"- Bet, Resh, Yod, Khet (
xyrb). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1280, and its definition

From H1272; a bolt: - bar, fugitive.

from 1272 "bah-rakh" (
xrb), and its definition

A primitive root; to bolt, that is, figuratively to flee suddenly: - chase (away); drive away, fain, flee (away), put to flight, make haste, reach, run away, shoot.

This is where we get the modern English word "break".


SHOOT THROUGH

The Hebrew word for shoot through in verse thirty three is "bah-rakh", the same Hebrew mentioned above for the bar. This is an act to "break" through.


SOCKET

The Hebrew word for socket is "ey-dehn"- Aleph, Dalet, Nun Sophit (
Nda). It is from Strong's Concordance number 134, and its definition

From the same as H113 (in the sense of strength); a basis (of a building, a column, etc.): - foundation, socket.

 from 113 "ah-dohn"
(Nda), and its definition

From an unused root (meaning to rule); sovereign, that is, controller (human or divine): - lord, master, owner. Compare also names beginning with “Adoni-”.

This is the same word for "Adonai"- "lord".







CHAPTER 37
Exodus 37:1-29

Exo 37:1 And Bezaleel did (made)
ta-the Ark of shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)]: two cubits and the half was his length, and a cubit and the half was his width, and a cubit and the half was his height: 2 And overlaid (sheeted over) him of pure gold, from the housing (inside) and from the outside, and did (made) for him a Crown (Wreath) of gold all around. 3 And four Rings of gold were molded (casted, moltened, poured out) for him upon (over) his four Steps (Impellers, Agitators); and two Rings upon (over) his one rib (side), and two Rings upon (over) his second rib (side). 4 And did (made) Poles of shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)], and overlaid (sheeted over) them of gold. 5 And entered ta-the Poles in the Rings upon (over) the ribs (sides) of the Ark, to carry (lift up, bear) ta-the Ark.

6 And did (made) the Mercy Seat of pure gold: two cubits and the half was her length, and a cubit and the half was her width.

7 And did (made) two Cherubims of gold, did (made) them of beaten work (hammered work) from the two ends of the Mercy Seat; 8 One Cherub from the end from this, and one Cherub from the end from this: from the Mercy Seat did (made)
ta-the Cherubims from his two ends. 9 And the Cherubims, they were spreading out their wings by from above, coverings (screenings, hedges, protections, defendings) on their wings upon (over) the Mercy Seat, and their faces a man to his brother; they were the faces of the Cherubims to the Mercy Seat.

10 And did (made)
ta-the Table of shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)]: two cubits was his length, and a cubit was his width, and a cubit and the half was his height: 11 And overlaid (sheeted over) him of pure gold, and did (made) to him a Crown (Wreath) of gold all around. 12 Also was done (made) to him a enclosement (border) of a hand width all around; and made (did) a Crown (Wreath) of gold for his enclosement (border, margin) all around. 13 And molded (casted, moltened, poured out) for him four Rings of gold, and gave ta-the Rings upon the four mouths (sides) that are to his four Feet; 14 by associating (being beside, societizing, huddling together) the enclosement (border, margin) were the Rings of the housings for the Poles to carry (bear) ta-the Table. 15 And did (made) ta-the Poles of shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)], and overlaid (sheeted over) them of gold to carry (lift up, bear) ta-the Table. 16 And did (made) ta-the Vessels which were upon (over) the Table, ta-his Plates (Dishes), and ta-his Bowls (Spoons), and ta his Basins, and ta-the Cups (Covers) which is poured (libated) on them of pure gold.

17 And he did (made)
ta-the Menorah of pure gold: of beaten (hammered) work did (made) ta-the Menorah; her Shaft Base (Shaft, Trunk, Thigh, Loin, ?Testacle?), and her Branches, her Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds), they were from her: 18 And six Branches going out from her sides; three Branches of the Menorah from her one side, and three Branches of the Menorah from her second side: 19 Three Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes) were in her one Branch [(the one Branch of her)], a Knob (?Wreath?) and a Flower (Bloom, Blossom, Bud); and three Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes) were in her one Branch [(the one Branch of her)], a Knob (?Wreath?) and a Flower (Bloom, Blossom, Bud): so for the six Branches going out from the Menorah. 20 And in the Menorah were four Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds): 21 And a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, to the six Branches that were going out from her. 22 Their Knobs (?Wreaths?) and their Branches from her: they were all of her one beaten work (hammered work) of pure gold.

23 And did (made) her
ta-the seven Lamps, and her Tongs (Tweezers), and her Firepans (Snuff Dishes) of pure gold. 24 Of a talent of pure gold did (made) her and ta all of her vessels.

25 And did (made)
ta-the Altar of the Incense of shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)]: a cubit was his length, and a cubit was his width; square; and two cubits was his height; of him they were his Horns. 26 And overlaid (sheeted over) him of pure gold, ta-his top, and ta-his walls (sides) all around, and ta-his Horns: also did (made) to him a Crown (Wreath) of gold all around. 27 And did (made) two Rings of gold for him under his Crown (Wreath), upon his two ribs (corners), upon his two sides, for housings for the Poles to carry (lift up, bear) him on them. 28 And did (made) ta-the Poles of shittim (acacia) trees (wood) [(shittim trees, shittim wood, acacia trees, acacia wood)], and overlaid (sheeted over) them of gold.

29 And did (made)
ta-the Oil of the Sacred (Holy) Anointing, and ta-the Pure Incense of the Sweetnes (Aromas), a work of a perfumer (apothecary, compounder).


(Note: not all verses will have comments)


Also, as noted earlier, these were thoroughly commented in the Torah portions of T'rumah and T'tsavveh, in the book of Exodus, but here are a couple of brief commentaries.

Verse sixteen

16 And did (made) ta-the Vessels which were upon (over) the Table, ta-his Plates (Dishes), and ta-his Bowls (Spoons), and ta his Basins, and ta-the Cups (Covers) which is poured (libated) on them of pure gold.

The word "them" in the Hebrew text ends in the Hebrew suffix of Vav and Nun Sophit (
Nw), which tells us that the Vessels are feminine.



Verses seventeen through twenty four

17 And he did (made) ta-the Menorah of pure gold: of beaten (hammered) work did (made) ta-the Menorah; her Shaft Base (Shaft, Trunk, Thigh, Loin, ?Testacle?), and her Branches, her Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds), they were from her: 18 And six Branches going out from her sides; three Branches of the Menorah from her one side, and three Branches of the Menorah from her second side: 19 Three Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes) were in her one Branch [(the one Branch of her)], a Knob (?Wreath?) and a Flower (Bloom, Blossom, Bud); and three Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes) were in her one Branch [(the one Branch of her)], a Knob (?Wreath?) and a Flower (Bloom, Blossom, Bud): so for the six Branches going out from the Menorah. 20 And in the Menorah were four Bowls (Calyxes, Goblets) with Almond-Like Bowls (Almond-Like Shapes), her Knobs (?Wreaths?), and her Flowers (Blooms, Blossoms, Buds): 21 And a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, and a Knob (?Wreath?) under the two Branches from her, to the six Branches that were going out from her. 22 Their Knobs (?Wreaths?) and their Branches from her: they were all of her one beaten work (hammered work) of pure gold. 23 And did (made) her ta-the seven Lamps, and her Tongs (Tweezers), and her Firepans (Snuff Dishes) of pure gold. 24 Of a talent of pure gold did (made) her and ta all of her vessels.

In verse twenty four of this week's Torah portion passage. It took a talent worth of gold to make the Menorah, the Lamps and the Vessels for the Lamps. It details the calculation of the talent of pure gold, which is noted in the Torah portion of P'kudey, in the book of Exodus

Exodus 38:24 All of the gold that was used for the work in all of the Work of the Sanctuary, and the gold of the Wave Offering was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels on the Shekel of the Sanctuary. 25 And the silver that was counted of the Congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and the five and seventy shekels on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sanctuary: 26 A bekah for a head (skull) was from the half shekel on the Shekel (Scale) of the Sanctuary, for all that had gone over upon the numbering, from a son of twenty years and the upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and the five hundred and the fifty. 27 And was the hundred talents of the silver for molding (casting, moltening, pouring out) ta the Sockets of the Sanctuary and ta the Sockets of the Veil; a hundred Sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a Socket. 28 And ta-the thousand and the seven hundred and the five and seventy shekels was made of Nails for the Pillars, and overlaid (sheeted over) their Pillars, and attached (clinged, delighted) them. 29 And the copper of the Wave Offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

Question: "How much is a talent?". Caclulating from this P'kudey Torah portion passage, there were 603,550 men who were twenty years and upward. Each gave 1/2 shekel.

This is the calculation:

603,550 x .5 (1/2 in decimal) = 301,775

Take the 1,775 shekels from 301,775 we get 300,000. This is the total for the 100 talents. So we divide:

300,000 / 100 = 3,000 shekels

This tells us that one talent equals 3,000 shekels.


It also shows us that 6,000 men gave one talent's total. In one perception, 3,000 shekels is the same number of the 3,000 men that were killed by the Levites for worshiping the golden calf in the Torah portion of Ki Thisa, in the book of Exodus. Another perception is that the 3,000 men who died would have given only 1,500 shekels- that would be a half a talent. One could joke that the reason hwhy killed the 3,000 men was because they were "half talented" :)

Also, it is probable that the Menorah was about an average human height, which would be a type of the manifestation of Yeshua coming down in "human height".







CHAPTER 38

(Note: not all verses will have comments)


Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that this week's Torah portion chapter occurred on Yom Kippur, and when they built the Tent of Appointment, this happened on the Feast of Sukkoth, or the Feast of "Tabernacles". Based on the timeline of events in the past Torah portion chapters leading up to this week's Torah portion, it is strongly possible that Mark Biltz is right, and I am strongly agreeing with him as of this date. It makes sense that the Tabernacle would be made during this Feast. I will add this on my teaching "When Was Yeshua Born? Evidence Based On Scriptural Facts". This would also connect to the account that king Solomon's Temple was finished and 
hwhy entered into it on the Biblical Feast of Sukkoth. Thank you Mark.

Indirectly related, Mark also noted
that during the millenial reign, hwhy's Tabernacle will dwell on earth, which is noted in the apostle John's book of Revelation

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new Heavens and a new Earth: for the first Heavens and the first Earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down from hwhy out of the Heavens, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of the Heavens saying, Behold, the Tabernacle of hwhy is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His People, and hwhy Himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim.

I can't wait for that to happen.
