(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) ShabbathShabbathon(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 2:1And
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), andreposed (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 20:7You 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.

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 youtaa 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) taall which hwhy commanded; 11 ta-the Tabernacle, ta-his Tent,
and ta-his Covering

and ta-his Boards, ta-his Bars, ta-his Pillars,
and ta-his Sockets,

Cover) of Copper
which belongs
to
him, ta-his Poles,

and ta-his Base,
17 tathe Slings (Sling Screens,
Screens, Leaves, Valves, Hangings)

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 tathe 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 tathe 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 tawhat 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 tahwhy troubled
him.
Because Saul rebelled against hwhy, hwhy
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 taevery 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 oneCurtain (Hanging)was
eight and twenty on the cubit, and the width of the oneCurtain (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 oneCurtain (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 oneCurtain (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

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)

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

of gold of
housings for ta-the Bars,
and overlaid (sheeted over) the Bars of gold.

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 taevery 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,

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

gold, and gave ta-the Rings
upon the four mouths (sides)
that are to his

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 beaten (hammered) work did (made) ta-the Menorah;
her Shaft Base (Shaft, Trunk,
Thigh,
Loin, ?Testacle?), and

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

they were all of her
one
beaten work (hammered work) of pure gold.
23 And did (made) her ta-the seven Lamps, and

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 tahis 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 38:24All
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)tathe Sockets
of the Sanctuary
and tathe 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".

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.
