Verse sixteen

16 And you shall consume Aleph-Tav-all of the peoples which YHWH, your Elohim, is giving to you; You shall not pity (spare) your eye upon them: and you shall not serve Aleph-Tav-their elohim; for he shall be a snare to you. 17 For you shall say in your heart, These nations are multiple than I; how shall I be able to dispossess them? 18 You shall not fear from them: remembering, you shall remember Aleph-Tav which YHWH, your Elohim, did to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt; 19 of the Great Temptations [(Great Trials)] which your eyes have seen, and the Signs, and the Miracles (Wonders), and the Strong Hand, and the Outstretched Arm which YHWH, your Elohim, brought you out: so YHWH, your Elohim, shall do to all of the peoples which you are fearing from their face. 20 And also YHWH, your Elohim, shall send Aleph-Tav-the hornets (wasps, leprosy) against them, until the ones remaining and the ones hiding from your face shall perish. 21 You shall not be terrified (harassed, shaken) from their face: for YHWH, your Elohim, a Great and Fearful El, is in your nearness. 22 And YHWH, your Elohim, shall pluck out Aleph-Tav-these nations a little bit, a little bit, from your face: you will not make ability at finishing them hastily, lest (facing) the beasts of the field shall multiply upon you. 23 And YHWH, your Elohim, shall give them up to your face, and shall discomfit (disturb) them with a great discomfiting (disturbance) until they are destroyed (desolated), 24 and shall give their kings in your hand, and you shall make perish Aleph-Tav-their name from under the Heavens: you shall not have a man stand against (among) your face, until you have destroyed (desolated) them. 25 You shall burn up the vessel images (carved images) of their elohim in the fire: you shall not desire (covet) the silver and the gold upon them, and you shall not take for yourself, lest you be snared against him: for he is an abomination of YHWH, your Elohim. 26 And you shall not bring an abomination to your house, and you will be blunted (flattened) like him: abhoring (loathing), you shall abhor (loathe) him, and detesting, you shall detest him; for he is blunted (flattened, a blunted thing, a flattened thing).


The Hebrew word for he is "hoo"- Heh, Vav, Aleph (awh). It is commonly translated in the English version bibles as "it", but Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that there are no "its" but male or female pronouns, like "he", or "her", or "she" (The feminine form of this word is "hee"- Heh, Yod, Aleph (ayh)). This word is translated as "he", and who is the he in this verse? He is "HaSatan". What this week's Torah portion passage is saying is that HaSatan will be a snare to them. I accept Mark Biltz's premise, because there are so many revealing connective things that the English translations fail to show through their interpretation of this word. Thank you Mark.



Verse eighteen

18 You shall not fear from them: remembering, you shall remember Aleph-Tav which YHWH, your Elohim, did to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt;

Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted that Egypt, in Hebrew "Meets-rah-yeem", means "trials and tribulations". We who accepted Yeshua came out from the spiritual Egyptian world from their trials and tribualtions. Thank you Monte.



Verse twenty

20 And also YHWH, your Elohim, shall send Aleph-Tav-the hornets (wasps, leprosy) against them, until the ones remaining and the ones hiding from your face shall perish.

Indirectly related, this week's Torah portion passage could connect to a prophecy in the end times regarding those who do not have YHWH's Name written on their foreheads, which is noted by the apostle John, in the book of Revelation:

THOSE WHO HIDE THEMSELVES

Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And the stars of the heavens fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heavens departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the Throne, and from the Wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the Great Day of His Wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?


THOSE THAT ARE LIKE HORNETS

Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from the heavens unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the Seal of hwhy in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.



Verse twenty two

22 And YHWH, your Elohim, shall pluck out Aleph-Tav-these nations a little bit, a little bit, from your face: you will not make ability at finishing them hastily, lest (facing) the beasts of the field shall multiply upon you.

The reason, because if the enemies were killed in haste, the wild animals that eat flesh would see all of those corpses, and would think that there is plenty of food, and would produce more wild animal offspring to offset the plenty of dead carcasses the people of Israel would slaughter. This is hwhy's act of animal population control.



Verses twenty five and twenty six

25 You shall burn up the vessel images (carved images) of their elohim in the fire: you shall not desire (covet) the silver and the gold upon them, and you shall not take for yourself, lest you be snared against him: for he is an abomination of YHWH, your Elohim. 26 And you shall not bring an abomination to your house, and you will be blunted (flattened) like him: abhoring (loathing), you shall abhor (loathe) him, and detesting, you shall detest him; for he is blunted (flattened, a blunted thing, a flattened thing).

This is another example of "he" and "him" being "HaSatan" as noted in verse sixteen of this week's Torah portion chapter, which in this case was the application of idols. Tying these three verses of this week's Torah portion passage together, we get the negative and evil aspects relating to the First and Second Words (Commandments). Verse sixteen of this week's Torah portion passage is the basis of the First Word (Commandment), becuase if one pities the person, it is an indirect act of believing the person through the sparing of that person's life.

The prophet Samuel rebuked King Saul for pitying King Agag and not killing him, hence breaking the First Word (Commandment) to believe in YHWH's Word through the prophet Samuel to kill King Agag. By sparing King Agag, King Saul shifted his belief in YHWH to believing in his own reasoning and believing in the people and allowing King Agag to be spared, ultimately breaking his relationship with YHWH and Samuel, which resulted in losing his kingship in the end. This is what happened some time after Samuel was told he would lose the kingship and would be given to another, which is noted in the book of the prophet Samuel

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

An evil spirit came onto King Saul, becuase of his unbelief.
 
Continuing, the issue of the Second Word (Commandment) was the issue of the Canaanite idols that were made of gold and silver. At that time, idols were taken verious seriously and were a big deal in the nations. Though they were only metal, the people worshipped them, but because they did, it caused evil spirits to exist in those idols. Those idols will lead them to believe in HaSatan.

Indirectly related, one person affected the people of Israel causing from getting favor from YHWH by taking the gold and silver when he was told not to take them, which is noted in the book of Joshua

Joshua 7:1 And the Sons of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the Anger of YHWH was kindled against the Sons of Israel. 2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view Aleph-Tav-the land. And the men went up and viewed Aleph-Tav-Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the People go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Aleph-Tav-Ai; and make not Aleph-Tav-all of the people to labour thither; for they are but few. 4 So there went up thither of the People about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the People melted, and became as water. 6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the Ark of YHWH until the mixing period (evening), he and the Elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. 7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Adonai YHWH, wherefore hast Thou at all brought Aleph-Tav-this People over Aleph-Tav-Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would to Him we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan! 8 O Adonai, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off Aleph-Tav-our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto Thy Great Name? 10 And YHWH said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed Aleph-Tav-My Covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the Sons of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. 13 Up, sanctify Aleph-Tav-the People, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith YHWH, Elohim of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. 14 In the breaking period (morning) therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which YHWH taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which YHWH shall take shall come by households; and the household which YHWH shall take shall come man by man. 15 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and Aleph-Tav-all that he hath: because he hath transgressed Aleph-Tav-the Covenant of YHWH, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel. 16 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Aleph-Tav-Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: 17 And he brought Aleph-Tav-the family of Judah; and he took Aleph-Tav-the family of the Zarhites: and he brought Aleph-Tav-the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken: 18 And he brought Aleph-Tav-his household man by man; and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give now Glory to YHWH, Elohim of Israel, and make confession unto Him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. 20 And Achan answered Aleph-Tav-Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against YHWH, Elohim of Israel, and as thus, and as thus, have I done: 21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. 22 And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. 23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the Sons of Israel, and laid them out towards the Face of YHWH. 24 And Joshua, and all of Israel with him, took Aleph-Tav-Achan, son of Zerah, and Aleph-Tav-the silver, and Aleph-Tav-the garment, and Aleph-Tav-the wedge of gold, and Aleph-Tav-his sons, and Aleph-Tav-his daughters, and Aleph-Tav-his oxen, and Aleph-Tav-his asses, and Aleph-Tav-his sheep, and Aleph-Tav-his tent, and Aleph-Tav-all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? YHWH shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. 26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. And YHWH turned from the fierceness of His Anger. Upon thus the name of that place, he was called the Valley of Achor, unto this day.

What Achor did caused YHWH to turn His blessing and protection away from Israel, and after Achor and all of his household was killed, YHWH's Anger turned away. This is just one example. Question: "Why wasn't Aachor's wife not mentioned on the list to be killed"? I don't have an answer to this at this time. In today's society, there are satanic elements and items which look innocent that are involved by HaSatan and his demons. One of the most popular examples is the Ouiji board. Another subtile example is the popular practice of Yoga, which is a perverse pagan religious activity, but it is an ancient Middle East ritual, which one is to connect without YHWH/Yeshua involved, which is Anti-Messiah.
