There are 76 Aleph-Tavs in this week's Torah portion




NOTE: All of the yous and yours underlined as "you" and "your" indicates that the you and the your are plural. Also any of the words that are in bold pink lettering as "you" refers to the feminine gender, but it is only applied when it does not commonly refer to a woman. This only is applied to this week's Torah portion text at this time.



CHAPTER 11
Deuteronomy 11:26-32

Deu 1:26 See, I have given to your face today a blessing and a despisement (kalal-curse); 27 Aleph-Tav-the blessing which you will listen to the Commandments of YHWH, your Elohim which I am commanding you today: 28 and the despisement if you will not listen to the Commandments of YHWH, your Elohim, and you will turn away (turn aside) from the Way which I am commanding you today, to go after other elohim which you have not known, 29 and shall be, when YHWH, your Elohim, shall have you come to the land which you will go there to possess (occupy) her, and you shall give Aleph-Tav-the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, and Aleph-Tav-the despisement (kalal-curse) upon Mount Ebal, 30 that are they not in over the Jordan, behind the way of the going of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell in the Arabah opposite (at the front of, against) the Gilgal, beside the Oaks of Moreh? 31 For you shall go over Aleph-Tav-the Jordan to come to possess (occupy) Aleph-Tav-the land which YHWH, your Elohim, is giving to you, and you shall possess (occupy) her, and you shall dwell in her. 32 And you shall guard (keep, observe, take heed) to do Aleph-Tav all of the Statutes and the Judgments (Ordinances) which I am givng to your faces the day (today).


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)


Verse twenty six

26 See, I have given to your face today a blessing and a despisement (kalal-curse);

Looking at the word SEE

The Hebrew word for see is "rah'ah"- Resh, Aleph, Heh (har). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7200, and its definition

A primitive root; to see, literally or figuratively (in numerous applications, direct and implied, transitively, intransitively and causatively): - advise self, appear, approve, behold, X certainly, consider, discern, (make to) enjoy, have experience, gaze, take heed, X indeed, X joyfully, lo, look (on, one another, one on another, one upon another, out, up, upon), mark, meet, X be near, perceive, present, provide, regard, (have) respect, (fore-, cause to, let) see (-r, -m, one another), shew (self), X sight of others, (e-) spy, stare, X surely, X think, view, visions.

Abraham used this word when he and Isaac were going to Mount Moriah, which is noted in the Torah portion of Vay-Yeyra, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 22:8 And Abraham said, Elohim will see for Himself the lamb for the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), my son: and the two of them, they went together.... 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Yehowah Yireh: which is said today (the day), shall be seen in the Mountain of YHWH.

The phrase Abraham said from the Hebrew was "'Elohim shall see' (in Hebrew "Elohim yireh") for Himself the lamb for the Elevation Offering my son". Which He did, by seeing for Himself a ram during Abraham's time and fulfilling Abraham's word 1500 years later by providing Yeshua as the Lamb for the sacrifice for Judah, the divorced Ten Northern Tribes scattered around the world, and the world, also known as the mixed multitude.


Looking at the word DESPISEMENT (KALAL-CURSE)

The Hebrew word for despisement (kalal-curse) is "k'lah-lah"- Kuph, Lamed, Lamed, Heh (hllq). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7045, and its definition

From H7043; vilification: - (ac-) curse (-d, -ing).

from 7043 "kah-lahl" (llq), and its definition

A primitive root; to be (causatively make) light, literally (swift, small, sharp, etc.) or figuratively (easy, trifling, vile, etc.): - abate, make bright, bring into contempt, (ac-) curse, despise, (be) ease (-y, -ier), (be a, make, make somewhat, move, seem a, set) light (-en, -er, ly, -ly afflict, -ly esteem, thing), X slight [-ly], be swift (-er), (be, be more, make, re-) vile, whet.



Verse twenty nine

29 and shall be, when YHWH, your Elohim, shall have you come to the land which you will go there to possess (occupy) her, and you shall give Aleph-Tav-the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, and Aleph-Tav-the despisement (kalal-curse) upon Mount Ebal,

Looking at the word GERAZIM

The Hebrew word for Gerazim is "G'ree-zeem"- Gimel, Resh, Zayim, Yod, Mem Sophit (Myzrg). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1630, and its definition

Plural of an unused noun from H1629 (compare H1511), cut up (that is, rocky); Gerizim, a mountain of Palestine: - Gerizim.

from 1629 "gah-rahz" (zrg), and its definition

A primitive root; to cut off: - cut off.

This is the mountain the Israelites would say the blessings. One can say that those who receive the blessings would "cut off" their enemies from the land. Also notice that this word sounds a lot like our modern English word "grazing". A domesticated animal, like a cow, "grazes" on grass. This also means that if the Israelites obey YHWH's Word, they would be blessed with the fruitness of the land, and they would be able to "graze" the land. This also applies to us as believers in the Messiah that if we obey our Heavenly Father, we would be blessed, and we can "spiritually graze" the benefits of His Blessings, whether by missions, congregations, ministries, etc.
 


Joshua set the example of this when the Israelites went into the land, which is noted in the book of Joshua

Joshua 11:21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off Aleph-Tav-the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities. 

Looking at the word EBAL

The Hebrew word for Ebal is "Ey-vahl"- Ayin, Yod, Bet, Lamed (lbye). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5858, and its definition

Perhaps from an unused root probably meaning to be bald; bare; Ebal, a mountain of Palestine: - Ebal.

This is the mountain they were to use for the cursings. This Hebrew word is where we most likely get our modern English word "bald", without the letter d. If the Israelites did not obey the Word of YHWH, their land would be "bald". This also applies to us as believers if we disobey the Heavenly Father's will, then we will not be blessed, and our spiritual fruition will we "bald".

I have commented more of the location of these two mountains in the Torah portion of Lekh L'kha. Click on the link below to get to the webpage.
 

LEKH L'KHA

[will work on that]



Indirectly related, one can also say that those who receive the curses will be "bare", or in another way of saying it, "naked". The prophets prophesied against Israel at times, symbolizing them as a harlot who defiled herself, to be, in many words, cursed by being made naked or "bare". One example is noted by the prophet Ezekiel, in his book

Ezekiel 16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hea the Word of YHWH: 36 Thus saith Adonai YHWH; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all of the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them; 37 Behold, therefore I will gather Aleph-Tav-all of thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and Aleph-Tav all of them that thou hast loved, with all of them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see Aleph-Tav-all of thy nakedness. 38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. 39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.

What was the reason that the blessings and the curses were not spoken together on the same mountain? One could say that it was an act to separate the clean from the unclean. In other words, they made sure the blessings stayed pure by speaking them on one mountain, and made sure the curses stayed pure by saying them on a different mountain, like keeping the clean inside the Israelite Camp, and keeping the unclean outside of the Israelite Camp. It was also saying, in a way, not to mix the Holy with the profane, but in this case, it was not mixing the blessings and the curses. Otherwise it is like saying we mix Sukkoth with Christmas, and Passover with Easter. Also, if they said the blessings and the curses on the same mountain, they will cause chaos.



Verse thirty

30 that are they not in over the Jordan, behind the way of the going of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites that dwell in the Arabah opposite (at the front of, against) the Gilgal, beside the Oaks of Moreh?

Looking at the word MOREH

The Hebrew word for Moreh is "Moh-reh"- Mem, Resh, Heh (hrm). It is from Strong's Concordance number 4176, and its definition

The same as H4175; Moreh, a Canaanite; also a hill (perhaps named from him): - Moreh.

from 4175 "moh-reh" (hrwm), and its definition

From H3384; an archer; also teacher or teaching; also the early rain (see H3138): - (early) rain.

from 3384 "yah-rah" (hry or ary), and its definition

primitive root; properly to flow as water (that is, to rain); transitively to lay or throw (especially an arrow, that is, to shoot); figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger), to teach: -  (+) archer, cast, direct, inform, instruct, lay, shew, shoot, teach (-er, -ing), through.

This is same Hebrew root word "yarah" which our Hebrew word "Torah" (hrwt) is derived.

Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries noted that Abraham was at the oaks of Moreh, and made an altar there, which is noted in the Torah portion of Lekh L'kha, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 12:6 And Abram went over in the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the Oak of Moreh, and the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 And YHWH appeared to Abram, and said, I will give Aleph-Tav-this land to your seed: And built there an altar to YHWH that appeared to him,

Indirectly related, Mark also connected this verse regarding the word Moreh, which is noted in the book of the prophet Isaiah

Isaiah 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. 20 And though Adonai give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see Aleph-Tav-thy teachers: 

Mark revealed that the Hebrew word for teachers in verse twenty is "moh-rey-kha" (Kyrwm), from the Hebrew word "yarah" noted above. Also, he noted that the second teachers in this Isaiah passage has an Aleph-Tav before it, and he reveals that this is Yeshua, "the Aleph-Tav Teacher". Thank you Mark.

Moses also gave the Israelites these instructions when they arrive at Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, which is noted in the Torah portion of Ki Thavo, in the book of Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 27:11 And Moses commanded Aleph-Tav-the People on that day, to say, 12 These, they shall stand to bless Aleph-Tav-the People upon Mount Gerizim in your going over Aleph-Tav-the Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 13 and these, they shall stand upon the despisement (curse) on Mount Ebal; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 And the Levites, they shall answer, and they shall say to all of the Men of Israel of a loud (high) voice,

15 Cursed is the man who makes a vessel image (carved image) and a casted image (molten image, poured image), an abomination (abhorrence) of YHWH, the doing (work) of the hands of a craftsman (engraver), and is put in the secrecy. And all of the People, they shall answer, and they shall say, Amen.

16 Cursed is a despiser (viler) of his father and his mother. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

17 Cursed is a retreater (remover) of a border (landmark) of his neighbor. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

18 Cursed is a strayer (deceiver) of the blind in the way. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

19 Cursed is a wrestler (perverter, stretcher) of the judgment of a stranger (sojourner), an orphan (fatherless) and a widow. And all of the people shall say, Amen.

20 Cursed is a layer with the wife of his father; for has exposed (uncovered) the wing (skirt) of his father. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

21 Cursed is a layer with any animal. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

22 Cursed is a layer with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

23 Cursed is a layer with his mother-in-law. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

24 Cursed is a striker of his neighbor in the secrecy. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

25 Cursed is a taker of a bribe (reward) to strike a soul of innocent blood. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

26 Cursed which does not raise all of Aleph-Tav-the Words of this Teaching (Torah) to do them. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

26 Cursed who does not lift up (rises up) all of Aleph-Tav-the Words of this Teaching (Torah) to do them. And all of the People shall say, Amen.

When Joshua and the Israelites arrived at Shechem, after destroying the city of Ai, this is what Joshua did, which is noted in the book of Joshua

Joshua 8:30 Then Joshua built an altar unto YHWH, Elohim of Israel, on Mount Ebal, 31 As Moses, the servant of YHWH, commanded Aleph-Tav-the Sons of Israel, as it is written in the Scroll of the Torah of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon Elevation Offerings unto YHWH, and sacrificed Peace Offerings. 32 And he wrote there upon the stones, Aleph-Tav a copy of the Torah of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the Sons of Israel. 33 And all of Israel, and their Elders, and Officers, and their Judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the Priests, the Levites, which bare the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against Mount Gerizim, and half of them over against Mount Ebal; as Moses, the servant of YHWH, had commanded before, that they should bless Aleph-Tav-the People of Israel. 34 And afterward he read Aleph-Tav-all of the Words of the Torah, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the Scroll of the Torah. 35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all of the Assembly of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.

This act of having six of each of the tribes to stand on each of the two mountains can be compared to the two Onyx Stones on the shoulders of the High Priest bearing six tribal names on each of the Onyx Stones, which is noted in the Torah portion of T'tsavveh, in the book of Exodus

Exodus 28:9 And you shall take Aleph-Tav-two Onyx Stones, and you shall engrave (carve, sculpt) upon (over) them the names of the Sons of Israel: 10 Six with their names shall be upon the one Stone, and Aleph-Tav-the remaining six names shall be upon the second Stone according to their births. 11 Of a doing (work) of an engraver (craftsman, artificer) of stone, like the engraving (carving, sculpting) of a signet (seal ring), you shall engrave (carve, sculpt) Aleph-Tav-the two Stones upon the names of the Sons of Israel: you shall do (make) them Enclosings of Broaches (Brocades, Ouches) of gold. 12 And you shall set (put) Aleph-Tav-the two Stones upon the Upper Arm Corners (Shoulders) of the Ephod for Stones of a Remembrance (Memorial) for the Sons of Israel: and Aaron shall bear (carry, lift up) Aleph-Tav-their names to the Face of YHWH upon his two Upper Arm Corners (Shoulders) for a Remembrance (Memorial). 13 And you shall do (make) Enclosings of Broaches (Brocades, Ouches) of gold;

As I noted earlier, the place where these two mountains are located is in Shechem.

Looking at the word SHECHEM

The Hebrew word for Shechem is "Sh'khehm"- Shin, Kaph, Mem Sophit (Mks). It is from Strong's Concordance number 7928, and its definition

From H7926; Shekem, the name of a Hivite and two Israelites: - Shechem.

from 7926 "sh'khehm", and its definition

From H7925; the neck (between the shoulders) as the place of burdens; figuratively the spur of a hill: - back, X consent, portion, shoulder.

from 1925 "shah-khahm" (Mks), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to incline (the shoulder to a burden); but used only as denominative from H7926; literally to load up (on the back of man or beast), that is, to start early in the morning: - (arise, be up, get [oneself] up, rise up) early (betimes), morning.

It is well established that this place, Shechem, means "shoulders". It is probable that Moses knew this would be a full human view demonstration of the two shoulder pieces on the High Priest. That must have been a sight to see. Bill Cloud of Shoreshim Ministries noted of the T'tsavveh passage that has been under our noses for a long time, but did not see it until he brought this verse out that gave me a "duh" moment, which is noted in the book of the prophet Isaiah

Isaiah 9:6 For a child is birthed to us, a son is given to us: and the government, she shall be upon His Shoulders: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty El, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.

This verse was referring to the future event of Yeshua to become the future Eternal High Priest, which I detailed in another Torah portion, to bear the goverment upon His Shoulders. Thank you Bill.
 


Shechem is the same location that Yeshua met the Samaritan woman at the well, which is noted in the Gospel of John

John 4:5 Then cometh He to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar [Shechem], near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Yeshua therefore, being wearied with His Journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Yeshua saith unto her, Give Me to drink.

Mount Gerizim, facing east, likening it to the shoulder of the High Priest, would be located on the "right shoulder", the same direction which the Tent of Appointment would be facing, which is southward. The right side of the shoulder is the "strong side", and this is the side the blessings are located.

These are images of Mount Gerazim and Mount Ebal, located in Nablus, also known in Biblical times as Shechem

This was the same location that Abraham stopped, and Jacob stopped nearby and settled there for a while. These accounts are noted in the Torah portions of Lekh L'kha and Vay-Yishlakh, in the book of Genesis

Genesis 12:1 And YHWH said to Abram, Go of yourself from your land, and from your birth place (kindred), and from the house of your father, to the land which I will show you: 2 and I will (do) make you for a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great [(engreaten your name)], and shall be a blessing: 3 And I will bless from your blessers [(those blessing you)], and from your despisers [(those despising (cursing) you)] I will curse: and in you, all families of the Ground, they will be blessed. 4 And Abram went as the which YHWH spoke to him; and Lot went out with him: and Abram was a son of five years and seventy years in his going out from Haran, 5 and Abram took Aleph-Tav-Sarai, his woman (wife), and Aleph-Tav-Lot, son of his brother, and Aleph-Tav-all of their goods (substance, property) which they had collected, and Aleph-Tav-the souls which they had done (acquired) in Haran; and they went out to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to the land of Canaan. 6 And Abram went over in the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the Oak of Moreh, and the Canaanite was then in the land.

Genesis 33:18 And Jacob came at Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan in his coming from Padan Aram; and camped at Aleph-Tav-the face of the city. 19 And purchased (bought) Aleph-Tav-a portion of the field which his tent was stretched out there from the hand of the sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, on a hundred ingots. 20 And erected there an altar, and called to him, El Elohei Israel.








CHAPTER 12
Deuteronomy 12:1-32
(12:1-31; 13:1 In the Hebrew)

Deu 12:1 These are the Statutes and the Judgments (Ordinances) which you shall guard (keep, observe, heed) to do in the land, which YHWH, Elohim of your fathers, has given to you to possess (occupy) her all of the days which you live upon the Ground. 2 Perishing, you shall make perish Aleph-Tav-all of the places which the nations, they are serving there which you are dispossessing them, Aleph-Tav-their elohim upon the raised mountains, and upon the hills (hillocks), and under every flourishing (freshy green) tree: 3 and you shall tear down (pull down, cast down) Aleph-Tav-their altars, and you shall shever-break (shever-shatter, crush) Aleph-Tav-their standing pillars (column idols), and you shall burn up their asherahs in the fire; and you shall hew down (cut down) their vessel images (carved images) of their elohim, and you shall have Aleph-Tav-their names perish from that place. 4 You shall not do so to YHWH, your Elohim, 5 for but to the place which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose from all of your tribes to put Aleph-Tav-His Name there, for you shall seek (inquire) His Tabernacling, and you shall go there: 6 and you shall bring there your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and your Sacrifices, and Aleph-Tav your Tithes (Tithe Offerings), and Aleph-Tav Heave Offerings (Raise Offerings) of your hand, and your Vow Offerings, and your Freewill Offerings (Voluntary Offerings), and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock: 7 and you shall eat there to the Face of YHWH, your Elohim, and you shall rejoice in all at your hand with sends out, you, and your households, which YHWH, your Elohim, has blessed you. 8 You shall not do according to [(as)] all which we are doing here today, of every man that is upright in his eyes. 9 for you have not come (arrived) until now to the rest and to the inheritance which YHWH, your Elohim, is giving to you. 10 And you shall go over Aleph-Tav-the Jordan, and you shall dwell in the land which YHWH, your Elohim, is having you with inherit, and shall give to you rest from all of your enemies from all around, and you shall dwell securely (safely); 11 and shall be the place which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose on Him to tabernacle (abode, inhabit) His Name there; you shall bring there Aleph-Tav all which I am commanding you; your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and your Sacrifices, your Tithes (Tithe Offerings), and the Heave Offerings (Raise Offerings) of your hand, and every choice of your Vow Offerings which you vow to YHWH: 12 And you shall rejoice to the Face of YHWH your Elohim, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the Levite which is in your gates; for does not belong to him a portion and an inheritance with you.

13 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take Heed) to yourself, lest (facing) you elevate your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings) in every place which you see: 14 for but in the Place which YHWH shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall elevate your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and there you shall do all which I am commanding you. 15 Only in all of your gates you shall sacrifice in all of the pleasure (desire, lust) of your soul, and you shall eat flesh according to [(as)] the Blessing of YHWH, your Elohim, which was given to you: the unclean and the clean shall eat him, as of the gazelle (roebuck), and as of the hart (stage, deer). 16 Only the blood you shall not eat; you shall shed (spill, gush out) him upon the Land as the water. 17 You are not able to eat from the tithe [(eat the Tithe Offerings)] of your grain in your gates, and your new wine (fresh grape juice), and your pressed oil (glistened oil), and the firstlings of your herd, and your flock, and any of your Vow Offerings which you vow, and your Freewill Offerings (Voluntary Offerings), and the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of your hand: 18 for but you shall eat him to the Face of YHWH, your Elohim, in the Place which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose on Him, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite which is in your gates: and you shall rejoice to the Face of YHWH, your Elohim, in all your hand with sends forth.

19 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take Heed) to yourself lest (facing) you forsake Aleph-Tav-the Levite all of your days upon your Ground, 20 when YHWH, your Elohim, shall broaden (enlarge) Aleph-Tav-your border, as the which had spoken to you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, for your soul, she pleases (desires, lusts) to eat flesh; in all of the pleasure (desire, lust) of your soul, you will eat flesh.

21 When the Place is far from you which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose to put His Name there, and you shall sacrifice from your herd and from your flock, which YHWH has given to you as the which I have commanded you, and you shall eat in your gates according to [(as)] all of the pleasure (desire, lust) of your soul. 22 Surely as the which Aleph-Tav-the gazelle (roebuck) and Aleph-Tav-the hart (stag, deer) shall be eaten, so you shall eat him: the unclean and the clean shall he be alike, shall be eaten him. 23 Only be strong (sure) to fail at eating the blood: for the blood, he is the soul; and you shall not eat the soul with the flesh. 24 You shall not eat him; you shall shed (spill, gush out) him upon the Earth as the water. 25 You shall not eat him; by that, shall be good (well) to you and to your sons after you when you shall do that is upright [(the uprightness)] in the Eyes of YHWH.

26 Only your Sacred Things (Holy Things) which they shall belong to you, and you shall bear (carry, lift up) your Vow Offering, and you shall go to the Place which YHWH shall choose: 27 And you shall do (offer) your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), the flesh, and the blood, upon the Altar of YHWH, your Elohim: and the blood of your Sacrifices shall be shedded (spilled, gushed out) upon the Altar of YHWH, your Elohim, and you shall eat the flesh. 28 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take heed) and you shall listen at Aleph-Tav-all of these Words which I am commanding you, by that, shall be good (well) to you and to your sons after you unto ages, when you do the goodness [(that is good)] and the uprightness [(that is upright)] in the Eyes of YHWH, your Elohim. 29 When YHWH, your Elohim, shall cut off Aleph-Tav-the nations, which you are going there to possess (occupy) them from your face, and you shall dispossess them, and you shall dwell in their land; 30 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take heed) to yourself lest (facing) you will be snared at following them, after destroying (desolating, annihilating) them from your face; and lest (facing) you inquire to their elohim, to say, How did these nations, they served Aleph-Tav-their elohim? And I, also I shall do so. 31 You shall not do so to YHWH, your Elohim: for every abomination (abhorrence) at YHWH, which is hateful, they have done to their elohim; for they have burned up also Aleph-Tav-their sons and Aleph-Tav-their daughters in the fire to their elohim. 32 Aleph-Tav All of the Word which I am commanding you, you shall guard (keep, observe, take heed) to do, you shall not add upon him, and you shall not diminish from him.


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)


Verses one through three

1 These are the Statutes and the Judgments (Ordinances) which you shall guard (keep, observe, heed) to do in the land, which YHWH, Elohim of your fathers, has given to you to possess (occupy) her all of the days which you live upon the Ground. 2 Perishing, you shall make perish Aleph-Tav-all of the places which the nations, they are serving there which you are dispossessing them, Aleph-Tav-their elohim upon the raised mountains, and upon the hills (hillocks), and under every flourishing (freshy green) tree: 3 and you shall tear down (pull down, cast down) Aleph-Tav-their altars, and you shall shever-break (shever-shatter, crush) Aleph-Tav-their standing pillars (column idols), and you shall burn up their asherahs in the fire; and you shall hew down (cut down) their vessel images (carved images) of their elohim, and you shall have Aleph-Tav-their names perish from that place.

I have no problem with national figures that founded our nation like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, etc, because they are our founders of the United States with good causes. History is important, because without it, as Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries noted that we are doomed to repeat it. The problem is that this nation had started receiving major pagan images starting with the German influence with the Christmas trees in the early 1840's. Then it migrated so much into the fabric of this nation throughout time, that it became an official acceptance and a part of the Christmas tradition.

Also the biggest perverse pagan elohim that was accepted in the United States was the Statue of Liberty in 1886. According to Jim Staley formerly of Passion For Truth Ministries, on his teaching series "End of the Age" titled "Islam, The Antichrist and Mystery Babylon", he taught that the Statue of Liberty derived from a castrated, trans-dressed male named Attis, who was the pagan priest, or the main servant to Ishtar, the wife of the sun deity, Baal. That statue off of New York City is a "pagan elohim", and if I had the capability, I would destroy it. There are also other statues of pagan elohim around this nation, including mermaids, neptunes, and now recently, a satanic deity erected in Detroit, Michigan in late July, 2015. These are part of the reasons hwhy has slowly taken away this nation's blessings, and brought the harbingers that Jonathan Cahn noted in his books and videos.

Verse eight

8 You shall not do according to [(as)] all which we are doing here today, of every man that is upright in his eyes.

The means of doing right in one's own eyes is an act of anarchism. An example of this is noted in the book of Judges

Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

King Solomon noted those who do things in their own eyes means, which are noted in the book of Proverbs

Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but hwhy pondereth the hearts.

There are those in this nation today who are doing what is right in their own eyes. They have formed their own anarchy against the Constitution of the United States, as well as the Torah, the rest of the Tanakh, and the Brith Khadasah (the New Covenant).



Verses thirteen and fourteen

13 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take Heed) to yourself, lest (facing) you elevate your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings) in every place which you see: 14 for but in the Place which YHWH shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall elevate your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and there you shall do all which I am commanding you.

The first time that the Temple of YHWH was noted after Moses and Joshua was in 1st Samuel 1:9, and it was located it in Shiloh, in the tribe of Ephraim, somewhere near Samuel's parents' residence in Ramathaim-Zophim in Mount Ephraim. In 1st Samuel chapter four, the Philistines captured the Ark of YHWH after they defeated the Israelites at Shiloh, and they took it to Ashdod where it stayed for seven months. The Philistines later returned it, and it was located in Kiriath-Jearim for twenty years. During King Saul's time, the Ark was in Gibeah in Migron in Mount Ephraim. When David became king, he brought the Ark from Gibeah on a new cart until Uzziah touched it, and it was left to the house of Obed Edom for three months. After three months, David brought it to the City of David in Jerusalem until Solomon built the Temple. The place where the Temple was built and where the Ark of hwhy was established is noted in the book of Kings

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the Sons of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the House of YHWH... 37 In the fourth year was the Foundation of the House of YHWH laid, in the month Zif: 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the House finished throughout all of the Parts thereof, and according to all of the Fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.... 8:1 Then Solomon assembled Aleph-Tav-the Elders of Israel, and Aleph-Tav-all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the Sons of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up Aleph-Tav-the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH out of the City of David, which is Zion. 2 And all of the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. 3 And all the Elders of Israel came, and the Priests took up Aleph-Tav-the Ark. 4 And they brought up Aleph-Tav-the Ark of YHWH, and the Tent of Appointment, and all the Holy Vessels that were in the Tent, even those did the Priests and the Levites bring up. 5 And King Solomon, and all of the Congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the Ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 6 And the Priests brought in Aleph-Tav-the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH unto his place, into the Oracle of the House, to the Holy of the Holies, even under the wings of the cherubims. 7 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the Ark, and the cherubims covered the Ark and the Staves thereof above. 8 And they drew out the Staves, that the ends of the Staves were seen out in the Sanctuary before the Oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day. 9 There was nothing in the Ark save the Two Tablets of Stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when YHWH made a Covenant with the Sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 10 And it came to pass, when the Priests were come out of the Sanctuary, that the cloud filled Aleph-Tav-the House of YHWH,

The place YHWH said that He would put His Name there, took over 400 years since the Israelite Exodus by King Solomon building the Temple for YHWH to reside for the sacrifices to commence. This was also the manifested time when the Israelites rejoiced at the newly built Temple by rejoicing during the Fall High Holy Day of the Feast of Sukkoth. Why did it take so long to put the Temple there in Jerusalem? The key was that the Israelite nation had to be in peace for YHWH to reside, hence it was during King Solomon (in Hebrew, "Shloh-moh", from shalom or peace- hint, hint), and it was during the happiest High Holy Days of the Biblical feast of Sukkoth ("Tabernacles") that it occured, hence the fulfillment of this week's Torah portion passage in verse twelve. This was a key that Yeshua would follow that similar pattern to be born during the "Pax Romana", Latin for "the Peace of Rome", during the Roman empire, and Yeshua was born during the Fall High Holy Day on the first day of the Biblical Feast of Sukkoth. It is emphasized in the Gospel of John

John 1:14 And the Word was made Flesh, and dwelt [tabernacled] among us, (and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

And now, we as believers in the Messiah have become His symbolic "living tabernacles" where He chose to reside when we accepted Him as our Savior and Lord.
 




Verses twenty-one and twenty two

21 When the Place is far from you which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose to put His Name there, and you shall sacrifice from your herd and from your flock, which YHWH has given to you as the which I have commanded you, and you shall eat in your gates according to [(as)] all of the pleasure (desire, lust) of your soul. 22 Surely as the which Aleph-Tav-the gazelle (roebuck) and Aleph-Tav-the hart (stag, deer) shall be eaten, so you shall eat him: the unclean and the clean shall he be alike, shall be eaten him.

Moses gave information to the Israelites regarding sacrificing in their gates for those who are have a long distance away from Jersualem. I have struggled off and on for a long time to understand what Moses meant when he said that "the clean and the unclean" one can eat. One cannot eat an unclean animal. After a while meditating on this phrase and its context, glory to hwhy, He revealed to me what Moses was saying. I was reading it with the wrong perception of clean and unclean. I was looking at it, as if it was saying, that one was clean and one was not clean and which of gazelle and the hart was clean. That is not what it was saying. It did not mean one or the other, but it meant that the gazelle and the hart are BOTH clean AND unclean. They are BOTH "clean" by chewing the cud and having a split hoof, as noted in the Torah portion of Sh'mini, in the book of Leviticus

Leviticus 11:1 And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron to say to them, 2 Speak to the Sons of Israel, to say, This is the living beast which you shall eat from all of the animals which are upon the Earth. 3 All with the dividing of the hoof, and cloven, is cloven the hoofs, with ascending the cud among the animals, you shall eat her.

This is what is says in chapter fourteen in this week's Torah portion

Deuteronomy 14:4 This is the animal which you shall eat: the ox, the lamb (rushing member) of sheep, and the lamb (rushing member) of goats, 5 the hart (stag, deer), and the gazelle (roebuck), and the fallow deer, and the wild goat (chamois), and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. 6 And every animal diving the divided hoof, and cleaves (splits) the cleft of two divided hoofs, ascending the cud, among the animals, her you shall eat.

They are BOTH also "unclean", because they are not eligible for the Tent sacrifices as well as the Temple sacrifices, because they are "wild animals" and NOT domesticated animals, like oxens, heifers, lambs, and goats.
 




Verses twenty three through twenty five

23 Only be strong (sure) to fail at eating the blood: for the blood, he is the soul; and you shall not eat the soul with the flesh. 24 You shall not eat him; you shall shed (spill, gush out) him upon the Earth as the water. 25 You shall not eat him; by that, shall be good (well) to you and to your sons after you when you shall do that is upright [(the uprightness)] in the Eyes of YHWH.

Looking at the word SOUL

The Hebrew word for soul "neh-phesh"- Nun, Peh, Shin (spn). It is from Strong's Concordance number 5315, and its definition

From H5314; properly a breathing creature, that is, animal or (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental): - any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, X dead (-ly), desire, X [dis-] contented, X fish, ghost, + greedy, he, heart (-y), (hath, X jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortality, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thy-) self, them (your) -selves, + slay, soul, + tablet, they, thing, (X she) will, X would have it.

from 5314 "nah-phash" (spn), and its definition

A primitive root; to breathe; passively, to be breathed upon, that is, (figuratively) refreshed (as if by a current of air): - (be) refresh selves (-ed).

We are not to eat the blood, because the blood is the place for the soul to reside, and we are not to eat the soul with the flesh. Today, people are allowed to donate blood. The blood of a human being is also the place for their soul to dwell. Those that donate their blood donate part of their souls as well.

Indirectly related, if someone donates their organs, the individuals who receive them are receiving a part of that person's soul as well. The soul consists of the mind, the emotions and the will. Years ago Jim Nabors who played Gomer Pyle on the The Andy Williams Show and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. was interviewed on "The Hour of Power" televised service in California hosted by Robert Schuller. Gomer Pyle talked about his liver transplant that was donated by a Mexican, and he mentioned to Dr Schuller that since then, that he was interested more in Mexican food. Another example was a woman receiving a heart transplant from a person that had a violent past, and after the transplant, she started to have nightmares of someone attacking her. This would be similar to one receiving a transfusion of blood. When one recives another person's blood or organ, which consists of the donor's soul, one will receive the issues in that donor's life, or soul.



In this week's Torah portion chapter, there are things that Moses noted twice. These are the duplicate verses:

 

 

5 for but to the place which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose from all of your tribes to put Aleph-Tav-His Name there, for you shall seek (inquire) His Tabernacling, and you shall go there: 6 and you shall bring there your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and your Sacrifices, and Aleph-Tav your Tithes (Tithe Offerings), and Aleph-Tav Heave Offerings (Raise Offerings) of your hand, and your Vow Offerings, and your Freewill Offerings (Voluntary Offerings), and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock: 7 and you shall eat there to the Face of YHWH, your Elohim, and you shall rejoice in all at your hand with sends out, you, and your households, which YHWH, your Elohim, has blessed you. 8 You shall not do according to [(as)] all which we are doing here today, of every man that is upright in his eyes. 9 for you have not come (arrived) until now to the rest and to the inheritance which YHWH, your Elohim, is giving to you. 10 And you shall go over Aleph-Tav-the Jordan, and you shall dwell in the land which YHWH, your Elohim, is having you with inherit, and shall give to you rest from all of your enemies from all around, and you shall dwell securely (safely); 11 and shall be the place which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose on Him to tabernacle (abode, inhabit) His Name there; you shall bring there Aleph-Tav all which I am commanding you; your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and your Sacrifices, your Tithes (Tithe Offerings), and the Heave Offerings (Raise Offerings) of your hand, and every choice of your Vow Offerings which you vow to YHWH: 12 And you shall rejoice to the Face of YHWH your Elohim, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the Levite which is in your gates; for does not belong to him a portion and an inheritance with you.

13 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take Heed) to yourself, lest (facing) you elevate your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings) in every place which you see: 14 for but in the Place which YHWH shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall elevate your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and there you shall do all which I am commanding you. 15 Only in all of your gates you shall sacrifice in all of the pleasure (desire, lust) of your soul, and you shall eat flesh according to [(as)] the Blessing of YHWH, your Elohim, which was given to you: the unclean and the clean shall eat him, as of the gazelle (roebuck), and as of the hart (stage, deer). 16 Only the blood you shall not eat; you shall shed (spill, gush out) him upon the Land as the water. 17 You are not able to eat from the tithe [(eat the Tithe Offerings)] of your grain in your gates, and your new wine (fresh grape juice), and your pressed oil (glistened oil), and the firstlings of your herd, and your flock, and any of your Vow Offerings which you vow, and your Freewill Offerings (Voluntary Offerings), and the Heave Offering (Raise Offering) of your hand: 18 for but you shall eat him to the Face of YHWH, your Elohim, in the Place which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose on Him, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite which is in your gates: and you shall rejoice to the Face of YHWH, your Elohim, in all your hand with sends forth.

19 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take Heed) to yourself lest (facing) you forsake Aleph-Tav-the Levite all of your days upon your Ground, 20 when YHWH, your Elohim, shall broaden (enlarge) Aleph-Tav-your border, as the which had spoken to you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, for your soul, she pleases (desires, lusts) to eat flesh; in all of the pleasure (desire, lust) of your soul, you will eat flesh.

21 When the Place is far from you which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose to put His Name there, and you shall sacrifice from your herd and from your flock, which YHWH has given to you as the which I have commanded you, and you shall eat in your gates according to [(as)] all of the pleasure (desire, lust) of your soul. 22 Surely as the which Aleph-Tav-the gazelle (roebuck) and Aleph-Tav-the hart (stag, deer) shall be eaten, so you shall eat him: the unclean and the clean shall he be alike, shall be eaten him. 23 Only be strong (sure) to fail at eating the blood: for the blood, he is the soul; and you shall not eat the soul with the flesh. 24 You shall not eat him; you shall shed (spill, gush out) him upon the Earth as the water. 25 You shall not eat him; by that, shall be good (well) to you and to your sons after you when you shall do that is upright [(the uprightness)] in the Eyes of YHWH.

26 Only your Sacred Things (Holy Things) which they shall belong to you, and you shall bear (carry, lift up) your Vow Offering, and you shall go to the Place which YHWH shall choose: 27 And you shall do (offer) your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), the flesh, and the blood, upon the Altar of YHWH, your Elohim: and the blood of your Sacrifices shall be shedded (spilled, gushed out) upon the Altar of YHWH, your Elohim, and you shall eat the flesh. 28 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take heed) and you shall listen at Aleph-Tav-all of these Words which I am commanding you, by that, shall be good (well) to you and to your sons after you unto ages, when you do the goodness [(that is good)] and the uprightness [(that is upright)] in the Eyes of YHWH, your Elohim. 29 When YHWH, your Elohim, shall cut off Aleph-Tav-the nations, which you are going there to possess (occupy) them from your face, and you shall dispossess them, and you shall dwell in their land; 30 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take heed) to yourself lest (facing) you will be snared at following them, after destroying (desolating, annihilating) them from your face; and lest (facing) you inquire to their elohim, to say, How did these nations, they served Aleph-Tav-their elohim? And I, also I shall do so. 31 You shall not do so to YHWH, your Elohim: for every abomination (abhorrence) at YHWH, which is hateful, they have done to their elohim; for they have burned up also Aleph-Tav-their sons and Aleph-Tav-their daughters in the fire to their elohim. 32 Aleph-Tav All of the Word which I am commanding you, you shall guard (keep, observe, take heed) to do, you shall not add upon him, and you shall not diminish from him.

 



5 for but to the place which YHWH, your Elohim, shall choose from all of your tribes to put Aleph-Tav-His Name there, for you shall seek (inquire) His Tabernacling, and you shall go there:

14 for but in the Place which YHWH shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall elevate your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and there you shall do all which I am commanding you.

-------------------------------------

6 and you shall bring there your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), and your Sacrifices, and Aleph-Tav your Tithes (Tithe Offerings), and Aleph-Tav Heave Offerings (Raise Offerings) of your hand, and your Vow Offerings, and your Freewill Offerings (Voluntary Offerings), and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock:

27 And you shall do (offer) your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings), the flesh, and the blood, upon the Altar of YHWH, your Elohim: and the blood of your Sacrifices shall be shedded (spilled, gushed out) upon the Altar of YHWH, your Elohim, and you shall eat the flesh.

-------------------------------------

8 You shall not do according to [(as)] all which we are doing here today, of every man that is upright in his eyes.

13 Guard (Keep, Observe, Take Heed) to yourself, lest (facing) you elevate your Elevation Offerings (Ascension Offerings, Burnt Offerings) in every place which you see:

--------------------------------------

15 Only in all of your gates you shall sacrifice in all of the pleasure (desire, lust) of your soul, and you shall eat flesh according to [(as)] the Blessing of YHWH, your Elohim, which was given to you: the unclean and the clean shall eat him, as of the gazelle (roebuck), and as of the hart (stage, deer).

22 Surely as the which Aleph-Tav-the gazelle (roebuck) and Aleph-Tav-the hart (stag, deer) shall be eaten, so you shall eat him: the unclean and the clean shall he be alike, shall be eaten him.



Verse thirty two

32 Aleph-Tav All of the Word which I am commanding you, you shall guard (keep, observe, take heed) to do, you shall not add upon him, and you shall not diminish from him.

The first part of this week's Torah portion passage is usually translated as "All of these things", but in the Hebrew text it is "singular", and it should be actually "word". Also notice that it says to add or diminish "him". This him relates to the word, singular, and it refers to "Him", who is Yeshua, "the Living Word" manifested in the Flesh, which is noted in the Gospel of John

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. 2 The Same was in the beginning with Elohim.... 14  And the Word was made Flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of Grace and Truth.

The reason they were not to add or diminish those words, because the Word was, and is, and is to be "perfect" which is the same yesterday, today and forever. The reason is that Yeshua was "the Word" manifested in the flesh, who was, and is and is to come, as Yeshua noted in the book of Revelation

Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha [in Hebrew, Aleph] and Omega [in Hebrew, Tav], the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, Who Is, and Who Was, and Who Is to Come, the Almighty.

Yeshua, the Living Word, is the same "Word" yesterday, today and forever, as based in apostle Paul's letter in the book of the Hebrews

Hebrews 13:8 Yeshua the Messiah the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

If they, or even us as believers in the Messiah, added or deleted any of the Word, they, or we, would be adding and deleting "Yeshua" the Living Word made Flesh. It would be like adding and taking away body parts and organs of Yeshua's body that are not supposed to be, like Frankenstein, and doing this would be nothing more than creating a "GMO/GEI/GM (in general "Genetically Modified") human being". Those who have done this will be judged for this, We are not immuned to this, because if we in the Messiah did the same thing, we would also be judged for it. This would also be an indirect attack against hwhy and Yeshua by adding and deleting His Words.








CHAPTER 13
Deuteronomy 13:1-18
(13:2-19 In the Hebrew)

Deu 13:1 When a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams shall arise in your nearness, and gives to you a sign or a wonder (miracle), 2 And the sign and the wonder (miracle) comes which was spoken to to you, to say, We will go after other elohim, which you have not known, and we will serve them; 3 You shall not listen to words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams: for YHWH, your Elohim, is testing (trying, proving) you, to know that exists of you ones loving Aleph-Tav-YHWH, your Elohim, in all of your heart, and in all of your soul. 4 You shall walk after YHWH, your Elohim, and you shall revere (give awe, fear) Him, and you shall guard (keep, observe, heed) Aleph-Tav-His Commandments, and and you shall hear His Voice, and you shall serve Him, and you shall cling on Him. 5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall die; for has spoken apostasy (turning away, a plucking away) upon YHWH, your Elohim, that brought you out from the land of Egypt, and that redeemed you from the house of slavery (bondage), to push you away [(thrust you away)] from the way which YHWH, your Elohim, commanded you to walk in her. And you shall kindle away (fuel away) the evil from your nearness.

6 When your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the woman (wife) of your bosom, or your neighbor, which is as your soul, persuades (entices, seduces) you in the secrecy, to say, We will go and we will serve other elohim which you have not known, you, and your fathers; 7 from the elohim of the peoples which are all around you that are near to you, or that are far from you, from the end of the Earth and unto the end of the Earth; 8 you shall not consent (will) to him, and you shall not listen to him; and you shall not pity your eye upon him, and you shall not spare, and you shall not conceal (cover) upon him: 9 for killing, you shall kill him; your hand, she shall be against (on) him among the first to his death, and on the hand of all of the People among (in) the afterward. 10 And you shall skullstone (skullcast, stone) him on the stones, and shall die; for has sought to push you away [(thrust you away)] from upon YHWH, your Elohim, that brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery (bondage). 11 And all Israel, they shall hear, and they shall revere (give awe, fear), and they shall not add to do as this evil word in your nearness.

12 When you shall hear in one of your cities which YHWH, your Elohim, is giving to you to dwell there, to say, 13 The sons of Belial, they have gone out from your nearness, and they have pushed away (thrust away) Aleph-Tav-the dwellers of their city, to say, We will go and we will serve other elohim which you have not known; 14 And you shall investigate (question, make inquisition, inquire), and you shall examine, and shall ask goodly (well); and behold, the truth of the word was established, this abomination (abhorrence) was done of her in your nearness; 15 that striking, you shall strike Aleph-Tav-the dwellers of that city by the mouth of the sword, flattening (blunting) her, and Aleph-Tav-all which belongs in her, and Aleph-Tav-her animals, by the mouth of the sword. 16 And you shall collect Aleph-Tav-all of her spoil to the midst of her broad area, and you shall burn up Aleph-Tav-the city in the fire, and Aleph-Tav-all of her spoil wholly [(?shall be a Whole Burnt Offering?)] to YHWH, your Elohim: and she shall be a Heap of Ages; she shall not be built anymore. 17 And on your hand shall not cling from anything from the flattened (blunted) thing: by that, YHWH may turn back from the glowness of His Anger, and shall give mercies to you, and shall be compassionate (mercifiul) at you, and shall multiply you, as the which was sworn to your fathers; 18 when you listen in the Voice of YHWH, your Elohim, to guard (keep, observe, heed) Aleph-Tav-all of His Commandments which I am commanding you today, to do that is upright in the Eyes of YHWH, your Elohim.


(NOTE: Not all verses will have comments)


Verses one through five

1 When a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams shall arise in your nearness, and gives to you a sign or a wonder (miracle), 2 And the sign and the wonder (miracle) comes which was spoken to to you, to say, We will go after other elohim, which you have not known, and we will serve them; 3 You shall not listen to words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams: for YHWH, your Elohim, is testing (trying, proving) you, to know that exists of you ones loving Aleph-Tav-YHWH, your Elohim, in all of your heart, and in all of your soul. 4 You shall walk after YHWH, your Elohim, and you shall revere (give awe, fear) Him, and you shall guard (keep, observe, heed) Aleph-Tav-His Commandments, and and you shall hear His Voice, and you shall serve Him, and you shall cling on Him. 5 And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall die; for has spoken apostasy (turning away, a plucking away) upon YHWH, your Elohim, that brought you out from the land of Egypt, and that redeemed you from the house of slavery (bondage), to push you away [(thrust you away)] from the way which YHWH, your Elohim, commanded you to walk in her. And you shall kindle away (fuel away) the evil from your nearness.

The Israelites were told to not to listen to false prophets and dreamer of dreams, and to kill them if they say to follow after other elohim.

In the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), Yeshua was in a generation that was seeking a sign, because of their wickedness and their perverseness, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a Sign from Thee. 39 But He answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a Sign; and there shall no Sign be given to it, but the Sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Matthew 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired Him that He would shew them a Sign from the heavens. 2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a Sign; and there shall no Sign be given unto it, but the Sign of the prophet Jonas. And He left them, and departed.

In our generation today, we have been seeing natural signs, like the tetrad four blood moons, all of them occuring around the Biblical feasts of Passover and Sukkoth (Tabernacles) in 2014 and 2015, thanks to Mark Biltz of El Shaddai Ministries who discovered them in 2008. In this case in our generation, YHWH is giving the signs to the world, but the world is brushing them off saying it is nothing. Mark Biltz in 2017 noted the solar eclipse that occurred on August 21st, crossing the United States for the first time since World War I in 1918, and on September 23rd, there will be a constellation formation called "the Revelation 12 Constellation" which consists of the constellation of Virgo, the virgin, and Leo the Lion's nine stars, along with three planets, Mercury, Mars and Venus, forming the twelve stars. This latter constellation sign occurred around the time of Yom Teruah in 2017.
 


We need to note that during Biblical times, there wasn't any magnification ability to differentiate between planets and stars.

Mark Biltz spoke at a conference in Alabama in August of 2017 regarding the signs. They took off the video, but this is a similar teaching at that year by Mark Biltz. Click on the image to get to the webpage.

USA Solar Eclipse 2017 - SIGN OF JONAH! Mark Biltz Decodes
 



This is my understanding of the end times. This worldly generation is a wicked and an adulterous generation, becuase, in my opinion, since the "GI Bill" which was signed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, it changed the society from being a dominant agricultural society to a dominant technological society today. Brad Scott of Wildbranch Ministry said that the Torah is a Bible based on the Agricultural structure. So how can a "Techno Cultural Society" today understand an "Agricultural Bible" if we don't have a dominant agricultural society? This is one of the "signs" of the times that we "are" the last generation.

YHWH tells the prophet Jeremiah regarding the false prophets in Judah who were not sent by hwhy making false prophecies, which is noted in the book of the prophet Jeremiah

Jeremiah 14:11 Then said YHWH unto me, Pray not for this People for their good. 12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they elevate an Elevation Offering and a Food Offering, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. 13 Then said I, Ah, Adonai YHWH! Behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. 14 Then YHWH said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in My Name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 15 Therefore thus saith YHWH concerning the prophets that prophesy in My Name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. 16 And the People to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour Aleph-Tav-their evil upon them.

Indirectly related, a false prophet prophecied positive results wheras Jeremiah gave warnings to them, and also gave judgment to the false prophet, which is noted in the book of the prophet Jeremiah

Jeremiah 28:1 And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah, son of Azur, the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the House of YHWH, in the presence of the Priests and of all of the People, saying, 2 Thus speaketh YHWH of Armies, the Elohim of Israel, saying, I have broken Aleph-Tav-the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place Aleph-Tav-all the Vessels of hwhy's House, that Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: 4 And I will bring again to this place Aleph-Tav-Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim, King of Judah, with Aleph-Tav-all of the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith YHWH: for I will break Aleph-Tav-the yoke of the king of Babylon. 5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the Priests, and in the presence of all of the People that stood in the House of YHWH, 6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: YHWH do so: YHWH perform Aleph-Tav-thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the Vessels of YHWH's House, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place. 7 Nevertheless hear thou now this Word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all of the People; 8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many lands, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that YHWH hath truly sent him. 10 Then Hananiah, the prophet, Aleph-Tav-took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. 11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all of the People, saying, Thus saith YHWH; Even so will I break Aleph-Tav-the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. 12 Then the Word of hwhy came unto Jeremiah, the prophet, after that Hananiah, the prophet, had broken Aleph-Tav-the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith YHWH; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 14 For thus saith YHWH of Armies, the Elohim of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all of these nations, that they may serve Aleph-Tav-Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him Aleph-Tav-the beasts of the field also. 15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; hwhy hath not sent thee; but thou makest Aleph-Tav-this People to trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus saith YHWH; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against YHWH. 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Hananiah the prophet made a proper first prophecy, because Jeremiah agreed with him. But it was Hananiah's second prophecy and his act of breaking off the yoke of Jeremiah, which YHWH commanded Jeremiah to wear, that caused the prophet Hananiah's death.

In the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), Yeshua warned in the end times that there will be false Messiahs and false prophets, which are noted in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark

Matthew 24:4 And Yeshua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Messiah; and shall deceive many.

Mark 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Messiah; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22 For false messiahs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
 
This also applies to us as believers in the Messiah in our generation today.

On a positive note, Yeshua and the disciples/apostles were doing miracles and wonders, and they were following the Torah. Yeshua is the "Only One" we are to follow.

Looking at the word DREAM

The Hebrew word for dream is "khah-lohm"- Khet, Lamed, Vav, Mem Sophit (Mwlx). It is from Strong's Concordance number 2472, and its definition

From H2492; a dream: - dream (-er).

from 2492 "khah-lahm" (Mlx), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to bind firmly, that is, (by implication) to be (causatively to make) plump; also (through the figurative sense of dumbness) to dream: - (cause to) dream (-er), be in good liking, recover.

 This is where we get our modern English word "calm", as in a calm dream.


Looking at verse three of this week's Torah portion passage again

3 You shall not listen to words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams: for YHWH, your Elohim, is testing (trying, proving) you, to know that exists of you ones loving Aleph-Tav-YHWH, your Elohim, in all of your heart, and in all of your soul.

The question is, does hwhy still do this to us as believers in Yeshua today? The answer is yes, He still does. Everyone has their own story.

This is how the King James Version translates verse three:

(KJV) Deuteronomy 13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

A word the King James translators tranlated is "whether". Other translators use the same definition, but looking at the phrase "the existence by you", looking in the Hebrew text, the Hebrew word is "hai-yeesh-khehm" (Mksyh). Researching this Hebrew word, this is what is says:

Looking at the word WHETHER

The Hebrew word for whether is "yeysh"- Yod, Shin (sy). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3426, and its definition

Perhaps from an unused root meaning to stand out, or exist; entity; used adverbially or as a copula for the substantive verb (H1961); there is or are (or any other form of the verb to be, as may suit the connection): - (there) are, (he, it, shall, there, there may, there shall, there should) be, thou do, had, hast, (which) hath, (I, shalt, that) have, (he, it, there) is, substance, it (there) was, (there) were, ye will, thou wilt, wouldest.

a copula for 1961 "hah-yah"- Heh, Yod, Heh (hyh), and its definiton

A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): - beacon, X altogether, be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), continue, do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use.

To me, this is pretty cool, because if we take the actual Hebrew word and Anglicized it, and substitute the English word, this is what the verse says applied to my translation:

3 You shall not listen to words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams: for YHWH, your Elohim, is testing (trying, proving) you, to know that "Yeysh" of you ones loving Aleph-Tav-YHWH, your Elohim, in all of your heart, and in all of your soul.

This is a saying that those who love YHWH have "Yeysh" in them. And if one notices this, Yeysh can be applied as the Abbreviated Name, or Nicname, for "Yeshua", like Moshe, or Moses, is a shortened name, or nicname, for "Mashiakah", or "Messiah". What YHWH was doing was to test them to see if "Yeshua "the Living Word" was existing in them, and if they did, it would prove that they were loving YHWH their Elohim in al of thier hearts and souls.
 


Indirectly related, in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), the apostle Paul had concern that an assembly will be led astray with a different gospel because of the assembly's ability to see things by sight or presence, because Paul cannot be present with them all the time, which is noted in his letter to the assembly in Corinth

2 Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to One Husband, that I may present you as a Chaste Virgin to the Messiah. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Yeshua, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Like Moses' concerns with Israel being led away from a physical being presently acting as a prophet or a dreamer of dreams from following hwhy, the Apostle Paul had his concerns as well from someone physically present talking of another gospel the Paul did not teach.



Verses six through eleven

6 When your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the woman (wife) of your bosom, or your neighbor, which is as your soul, persuades (entices, seduces) you in the secrecy, to say, We will go and we will serve other elohim which you have not known, you, and your fathers; 7 from the elohim of the peoples which are all around you that are near to you, or that are far from you, from the end of the Earth and unto the end of the Earth; 8 you shall not consent (will) to him, and you shall not listen to him; and you shall not pity your eye upon him, and you shall not spare, and you shall not conceal (cover) upon him: 9 for killing, you shall kill him; your hand, she shall be against (on) him among the first to his death, and on the hand of all of the People among (in) the afterward. 10 And you shall skullstone (skullcast, stone) him on the stones, and shall die; for has sought to push you away [(thrust you away)] from upon YHWH, your Elohim, that brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery (bondage). 11 And all Israel, they shall hear, and they shall revere (give awe, fear), and they shall not add to do as this evil word in your nearness.

In this week's Torah portion passage, hwhy noted to do the same thing with one's family member who tries to lead another family member to serve other elohim, by killing them and not to have one's eye have pity on them. This could be the basis that the Jews used during the time of  Yeshua and His followers, in their day by not following Yeshua forty years before the destruction of the second Temple around 70 AD. 

Indirectly related to this week's Torah passage, any Israelite family member that does not do the Will of hwhy they are not their brethren. Yeshua noted an account of this, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 12:46 While He yet talked to the People, behold, His mother and His brethren stood without, desiring to speak with Him. 47 Then one said unto Him, Behold, Thy mother and Thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with Thee. 48 But He answered and said unto him that told him, Who is My mother? and who are My brethren? 49 And He stretched forth His Hand toward His disciples, and said, Behold My mother and My brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do the Will of My Father who is in the heavens, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother.

This could also connect to the reason the real brothers, sisters, and mothers who do the Father's Will, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in the heavens. 33 But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in the heavens. 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My Sake shall find it.

Because one's love for them above Yeshua could also lead one astray by following a false Messiah and another gospel.



Verses twelve through eighteen

12 When you shall hear in one of your cities which YHWH, your Elohim, is giving to you to dwell there, to say, 13 The sons of Belial, they have gone out from your nearness, and they have pushed away (thrust away) Aleph-Tav-the dwellers of their city, to say, We will go and we will serve other elohim which you have not known; 14 And you shall investigate (question, make inquisition, inquire), and you shall examine, and shall ask goodly (well); and behold, the truth of the word was established, this abomination (abhorrence) was done of her in your nearness; 15 that striking, you shall strike Aleph-Tav-the dwellers of that city by the mouth of the sword, flattening (blunting) her, and Aleph-Tav-all which belongs in her, and Aleph-Tav-her animals, by the mouth of the sword. 16 And you shall collect Aleph-Tav-all of her spoil to the midst of her broad area, and you shall burn up Aleph-Tav-the city in the fire, and Aleph-Tav-all of her spoil wholly [(?shall be a Whole Burnt Offering?)] to YHWH, your Elohim: and she shall be a Heap of Ages; she shall not be built anymore. 17 And on your hand shall not cling from anything from the flattened (blunted) thing: by that, YHWH may turn back from the glowness of His Anger, and shall give mercies to you, and shall be compassionate (mercifiul) at you, and shall multiply you, as the which was sworn to your fathers; 18 when you listen in the Voice of YHWH, your Elohim, to guard (keep, observe, heed) Aleph-Tav-all of His Commandments which I am commanding you today, to do that is upright in the Eyes of YHWH, your Elohim.

Men of Belial, or men of worthlessness, make the people of a city go out to serve other elohim.

Looking at the word BELIAL

The Hebrew word for Belial is B'lee-ah-ahl"- Bet, Lamed, Yod, Ayin, Lamed (leylb). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1100, and its definition

From H1097 and H3276; without profit, worthlessness; by extension destruction, wickedness (often in connection with H376, H802, H1121, etc.): - Belial, evil, naughty, ungodly (men), wicked.

Beli

from 1097 "b'lee" (ylb), and its definition

From H1086; properly failure, that is, nothing or destruction; usually (with preposition) without, not yet, because not, as long as, etc.: - corruption, ig[norantly], for lack of, where no . . . is, so that no, none, not, un[awares], without.

from 1086 "bah-lah" (hlb), and its definition

A primitive root; to fail; by implication to wear out, decay (causatively consume, spend): - consume, enjoy long, become (make, wax) old, spend, waste.

Al

from 3276 "yah-ahl" (ley), and its definition

A primitive root; properly to ascend; figuratively to be valuable (objective useful, subjective benefited): -    X at all, set forward, can do good, (be, have) profit (-able).

These two part words together would define this word as  "Worthless Value", but it can also be interpretly defined as "A Worthless Ascender". This worthless ascender would be no other than HaSatan, the ultimate false prophet, and the ultimate deceiver, who will ascend from the abyss in the latter days and will deceive many, which is noted in the apostle John's book of Revelation

Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

HaSatan tried to ascend himself above YHWH one time, which is noted in the book of the prophet Isaiah

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of El: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 

Looking at the word LUCIFER

The Hebrew word for Lucifer is "Hey-leyl"- Heh, Yod, Lamed, Lamed (llyh). It is from Strong's Concordance number 1966, and its definition

From H1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning star: - lucifer.

from 1984 "hah-lahl" (llh), and its defintion

A primitive root; to be clear (originally of sound, but usually of color); to shine; hence to make a show; to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causatively to celebrate; also to stultify: - (make) boast (self), celebrate, commend, (deal, make), fool (-ish, -ly), glory, give [light], be (make, feign self) mad (against), give in marriage, [sing, be worthy of] praise, rage, renowned, shine.

This is where we get our modern English word "hell". Hell was named after the name of HaSatan himself. Resaying the first Isaiah verse with the correct name it says:

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Heyleyl, son of the morning!

According to this week's Torah portion passage, the Israelites were to search out to see if the word that was mentioned of that city was true, and were told to do it carefully, and if it was so, the Israelties were commanded to destroy everything in the city, from the People, to their animals, to their possessions, and the city itself. The Israelites were to curse the city by not having it rebuilt. This can be compared to what Joshua commanded regarding Jericho, and probably was the basis for Joshua to make this commandment, which is noted in the book of Joshua

Joshua 6:26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man to the Face of YHWH, that riseth up and buildeth Aleph-Tav-this city Aleph-Tav-Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

This curse was fulfilled to one person, which is noted in the book of the Kings

1 Kings 16:34 In his days did Hiel, the Bethelite, build Aleph-Tav-Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the Word of YHWH, which he spake by Joshua, son of Nun.


Looking at the word GOOD (WELL)

The Hebrew word for good (well) is "yah-tahv"- Yod, Tet, Bet (bjy). It is from Strong's Concordance number 3190, and its defintion

A primitive root; to be (causatively) make well, literally (sound, beautiful) or figuratively (happy, successful, right): - be accepted, amend, use aright, benefit, be (make) better, seem best, make cheerful, be comely, + be content, diligent (-ly), dress, earnestly, find favour, give, be glad, do (be, make) good ([-ness]), be (make) merry, please (+ well), shew more [kindness], skilfully, X very small, surely, make sweet, thoroughly, tire, trim, very, be (can, deal, entreat, go, have) well [said, seen ].

The Israelites were to search out the matter with good intentions, and not with ulterior motives, so that their research would be just and sound, without error, like detectives who search for clues in a case to get to the truth of what happened at the scene of a crime.

Also, regarding verse fourteen of this week's Torah portion passage, it was probably the basis that Yeshua noted this, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew

Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

This is what we are to do as believers by searching out a matter, which is noted in the book of Proverbs

Proverbs 25:2 It is the Glory of Elohim to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Ending this chapter I will say ask, seek, knock to YHWH, and get the truth.
