B’re’shiyt teaching - B’re’shiyt 1:11
Torah
Sh’mot (Exodus) 21:1 - 24:18
** **
We
should also note that this weekend in many christian churches ... it is
“Evolution Sunday”.
Some
churches are doing “Creation Sunday” instead.
It’s
just amazing the mess out there and the mess that religion embraces.

Torah
Parashah teaching video by Rabbi Fohrman at Aleph Beta...
**
So
we get to this Torah Portion... right after Moshe has been given the 10
commandments...
all
of a sudden there is a bunch of rules...
Ever
wonder why?
Well
it occurs to me that we need to consider who YHWH is talking to...
Isra’elites... people who have been living as slaves under a
very harsh and inhumane pharaoh...
So
they have no idea what “healthy” is.
Just
like us when we react out of our hurt and lies that we believe...
until
we learn truth and health...
*
---
Hand out
-----
So
they’ve just gotten the 10 Commandments -
also
known as
The
10 Living Words
Then
Torah goes on (in our Parashah) to give a series of laws for the people of
Isra’el.
This
Parashah contains 53 mitzvoth/commandments = 23 imperative commandments and 30
prohibitions.
These
laws include:
-indentured
servant
-penalties
for murder, kidnapping, assault, and theft
-civil
laws pertaining to redress of damages, the granting of loans,
-
the responsibilities of the “Four Guardians”
-
the rules governing the conduct of justice by courts of law
-
laws warning against mistreatment of foreigners
-
the observance of the moeds/ set apart feasts
-
the agricultural gifts that are to be brought to the Temple
-
the prohibition against cooking a baby goat in its mother’s milk
-
the mitzvah of prayer
YHWH
promises to bring the people of Isra’el into the Promised Land,
and
he warns them against taking on the pagan ways of the land’s current
inhabitants.
The
people of Israel proclaim in
Sh’mot
24:3
“All
the words that YHWH has said, we will do.”
Leaving
Aharon and Hur in charge of the camp, Moshe goes up Mt Senai and stays there
for 40 days and 40 nights to receive the BOOK OF THE LAW.
****
Let
me also make a note about a foot note in the Bibles that we use.. RSTNE...
page
64 the foot note for
Sh’mot
21:10 “If he will take himself another wife,”
The
foot note says - “Scriptural plural marriage declared eternally kosher in Torah
-
HLM
disagrees with this footnote. Remember
these footnotes are a man’s opinion - whom we don’t happen to agree with in
this one.
“IF
he will take himself another wife” - is NOT saying it is okay to do or okay to
do forever.
So
i crossed out that foot note.
******
I
find it very interesting....
Sh’mot
23:31-32 p 66
“And
I will set your borders from the Sea of Reeds even to the Sea of the Plishtim,
and from the desert to the river for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land
into your hand; and you shall drive them out from before you. 32 You shall make no brit with them, or with
their elohim.”
--
the foot note says... “All peace accords
with others on the land are forbidden.”
hmmm...
************
It’s also important to note ...
That
according to the Melchizedek teaching we’ve been slowly learning...
Sh’mot
24:12 p 66
is
the start of the Book of the Law
Sh’mot
24:12 p 66
“And YHWH said to Moshe, Come up to Me
into the mount, and be there: and I will give you tablets of stone and a Torah
and mitzvoth that I have written; that you may teach them.”
Now
let’s note that Dr Perry would say that in English that word Torah should be
LAW... but in Hebrew it is Torah.
Also
important to understand is
Sh’mot
24:6-8
p 66
Blood
seals the Covenant of Promise.
It
is sealed - so it can’t be added to.
So
what happens following... what is given after is a different covenant...
==The Covenant of Law.
******************************************************************************************************
The
36th B’re’shiyt teaching from Bradley Scott’s work
B’re’shiyt 1:11
Starts
on page 37 in study guide
B’re’shiyt 1:11
“vay-yo’mer Elohiym tad’she‘ ha’arets deshe’ ‘esav maz’riy’a zera’ ‘etz p’riy ‘oseh p’riy l’miyno ‘asher zar’
o-vo ‘al-ha’aretz vay’hiy ken.”
“And
said, Elohiym, Let bring forth the earth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the
tree fruit yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the
earth: So and it was.”
“And
YHWH said, Let the earth bring forth grass (vegetation), the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in
itself, upon the earth; and it was so.”
RSTNE
= “And Elohiym said, Let the earth bring out grass, the herb yielding zera and
the fruit eytz yielding fruit after its kind, whose zera is in itself, upon the
earth; and it was so.”
We
talked last Shabbat about
Tad’she = let bring forth
and
we also talked about the “saying it twice” = YHWH saying this is really
important.
“let
the grass grass”
“let
the seed seed”
and
talked about a few more words
Then
we got to :
MAZ’RIY’A ZERA
MAZ’RIY’A = Yielding
ZERA = seed
-The
nature of a seed when it is in something - is that it yields.
The
king James translators have translated this as “yielding seed”...
What
it really should be is = “SEEDING SEED”.
Zera = SEED, seeding, to sow
vav -resh-ayin
This
is in agrarian terms...
YHWH
commands the earth - the Zera /Seed - to
bring forth more grass and herbs, trees, and other vegetation ... in which
contain the seed to produce more grass and herbs and trees and other
vegetation.
The
creation, which is plant life, becomes the pattern for the use of seed
throughout Scripture.
When
we see SEED elsewhere in the Scriptures
B’re’shiyt 3:15 p 10
“And I will put enmity between you and
the woman, and between your zera and her Zera; He shall crush your head, and
you shall bruise His heel”
Mattityahu 13:18-33 p 688 - “the parable of the sower”
Galutyah /Galatians
3:16
p 876
“Now to Avraham and his zera were the
promises made. He said not, And to your seeds, as in many; but as of One, And to
your Zera, which is Moshiach.”
- This is talking about Avraham’s seed - not
as many seeds but as ONE seed.
B’re’shiyt 3:15 - two seeds - Man is either one of those 2 seeds..
Man
only has ONE seed in them - gentile and Jew...
If
you do not have chayim in you... then you have the seed of the knowledge of
good and evil in you..
The
principal is set forth here of the use of the word ZERA / SEED...not mixing or
sowing diverse seed...
**
Now,
this is very interesting with what we know about GMO seed today.
YHWH
clearly expects what HE puts in seed to be what comes forth and we know from later in Torah that mixing seed
is NOT okay!
***
There
are many uses of SEED and it will also be used to reference sperm of man.
In
B’re’shiyt 3:15 we have two seeds... the seed of man and the seed of the
serpent
In
the garden of eden there are two seeds that produced 2 trees....
*
We
know that trees start out with seeds...
and
YHWH starts the principal of L’MIYNO which we will get to - the seed after it’s
own kind...
B’re’shyit 4:25 p11
“And Ahdahm knew his wife again; and
she bore a son, and called his name Sheth; For Elohim, she said has appointed
me another zera instead of Hevel, whom Qayin killed.”
Why
is the term “appointed another seed” used here?
This is the beginning of the line of
faith....Hevel was killed by Quain and now the seed of faith - is Seth... in
the image of Adam.. (not the image of YHWH).
-So
technically, believers have 2 seeds in them...
While
non believers only have one seed... they only have the seed of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil so they only can make decisions based upon what is
right in their own eyes... what is “good” in that tree.
Brad
says - “believers have the
seed of the Tree of Chayim in them”...
BUT
- WE know that Christianity lives in the Tree of Tov and Ra!!!
“Believers”
- might be the key word...
Brad
goes on to say
“This
is the battle that takes place within the believer - who still has his old
nature...
Gal 5
the
spirit is constantly battling against the flesh / the seed of adamic nature...
that is what the battle is all about ...
...What
seed within me ???
What
do i bow to??
B’re’shity 12:7 p 16
“And
YHWH appeared to Avram,and said, To your zera will I give this land; and
there he built an altar to YHWH who appeared to him.”
There’s
the physical seed...going down through Avraham... through YIsra’el.
We
know that there is a spiritual seed - the seed of the woman that flows through
Avraham as well - to believers...
Galatians
3 tells us that we are of the Seed of Avraham through faith and through
preaching/teaching and receiving of God’s word.
Let’s
look at... this is important....
Luke
8:11 p 734
“Now the parable is this: The zera is
the word of YHWH.”
This is the parable of the sower
And
it says right here that the SEED is the WORD of YHWH.
That
is the true seed - the seed that Yah is trying to express to us through the
term “Avraham’s Seed”
In
B’re’shiyt 21:12 p 22
“And
Elohiym said to Avraham, Let it not be severe in your sight because of the lad,
and because of your bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her
voice; for in Yitzchak shall your zera be called.”
Sh’mot 32:13 p 73
“...I will multiply your zera as the
cochavim of the shamayim, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give
to your zera, and they shall inherit it le-olam-va-ed.”
There
is the continuation of the seed being planted in one generation after another.
D’varim 22:9 p 154
“You
shall not sow your vineyard with different zera; lest the fruit of your zera
that you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard, be DEFILED and forfeited.”
*** Important note.. in RSTNE - it says
kadosh - and this is a typo - it should be DEFILED. ****
This is a principal
about mixing seed...
When you mix seed --
the good will be destroyed.
**
D’varim 30:19 p 162 “I call the shamayim and the earth to
record this yom against you, that i have set before you chayim and death, and
blessing and cursing; therefore choose chayim, that both you and your zera may
live;”
Yeshayahu 54:3 p 337
“For you shall break forth on the
right hand and on the left; and Your zera shall inherit the nations, and make
the desolate cities to be inhabited.”
We
still have ONE seed.
Malachi 2:15 p 495
“And did not He make them echad? And
the rest of the ruachim are His also.
And why echad? That he might seek
a zera from Elohiym. Therefore take heed
to your ruach, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.”
Searching
continuously for a Godly seed
Mizmor /Psalm 25:13 p 504
“His being shall dwell at ease; and
his zera shall inherit the earth”
Mizmor 37:25-28 p 508
“I have been young, and now am old;
yet have I not seen the tzadikim forsaken, or his zera begging lechem. 26 He is always full of rachamim, and lends;
and his zera is blessed. 27 Depart from
evil, and do tov; and dwell le-olam-va-ed.
28 For YHWH loves mishpat, and forsakes not His
kidushim; they are preserved le-olam-va-ed but the zera of the wicked shall be
cut off.”
In
the Greek - Sparo = seed, where sperm comes from
Mattityahu 13:24- The parable of the
Seed / Sower / ground in which the seed is sowed.
Brad
says - “One of the biggest mistake modern theologians make is to identify the
SEED as the Messiah.”
He
goes on to say....”But Y’shua gives the interpretation of the parable, by
saying that the SEED is the Word of YHWH.”
BUT what I discovered - in Mattityahu
13:38 “The field is the olam hazeh; the tov zera are the children of
the malchut;”
AND... in
Luke 8:11 p 734
“Now the parable is this: The zera is the WORD of YHWH.”
... and that is what is sown - the
WORD OF YHWH.
According
to
Mark 4:13 p 710
“And He said to them, Don’t you know
this parable/ And how then will you know all other parables?
He
says understanding the focus and nature of this parable will enable you to understand the meaning
behind all parables.
In
Mattityahu 13:18-23 p 688
- Y’shua gives us the understanding of
the parable..
In
13: 20 “with simcha receives
it”
= excited, celebrating - received with joy...
....but the seed did not take root...
Brad
said - “some people when they start to get a Hebrew Torah understanding they
get excited....but it doesn’t take root....and pretty soon the joy goes away...
Pressure
from others begins to take over and they walk away and go back to old ways...
when persecution comes along ... condemning them...they say - “Its “too hard” , “It’s to contrary to culture i live in.”.....
and they drop away
In
13: 22 - 3rd seed... cares of
the world... becomes unfruitful...
Many
times you find that the things of this culture are contrary to the Word of YHWH
and pretty soon you will find....that the cares of this world become more
important that keeping YHWH’s Instruction...
It’s
easy to do Valentine’s Day....
13:23
The
last seed.. the good ground... the SEED
Is the Word... we know it was manifest in Y’shua... Y’shua is the rock of our
salvation but rocks are still rocks. He
is the bread of life but you still need
bread to eat. He is the fountain of
living water but you still need water in order to survive
b/c
he is an expression of those things, does not change those things.
Those
who truly receive the seed are the ones that bare fruit - some 100 some 60 and
some 30 fold
So
the point of the parable of the sower and the seed ...
.....
as it relates to the maz’riy’a
zera
is....
right here in the beginning B’re’shiyt 1:11....
is
that YHWH has used the ZERA /SEED as
an example of his ever continuing faith that comes by hearing the Word and the Word being PLANTED
in you.
SO...
SINCE LIKE CAN ONLY PRODUCE AFTER LIKE...
The
WORD has to be in the one who speaks the Word to you... b/c it only reproduces
after itself.
This
is a big deal... it makes it very important - who you read, who you listen to
... whose words you will give up your time and pay attention to....
Another
way to say this is - “You can’t give what you don’t have.”
If
the truth is not in you - it can’t come out of you.
or
anyone else for that matter!
**
Let’s
look at the Parable of the Sower in Mark a bit....
Mark 4:4 p 709
“And it came to pass, as he sowed,
some fell by the wayside, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.”
The
Word being snatched away - by SAtan -
-who
doesn’t want you to have the Word -
BECAUSE
-- if the WORD is planted in you and it
germinates --
--then
someone else will hear it and that same Word will be planted in them!! ...
...and
that will reproduce!!!...
....
and this is how the Kingdom of YHWH grows and hasatan doesn’t want that to
happen.
Yochanan 8:37-39 p 763
“I
know that you are Avraham’s zera; but you seek to kill Me, because My word has
no place in you. 38 I speak that which i have seen with My Abba;
and you do that which you have seen with your abba. 39
They answered and said to Him, Avraham is our abba. Y'shua said to them, If you were Avraham’s
children, you would do the works of Avraham.”
--Y’shua
is saying to these people that the true seed of the woman is the Word of YHWH.
He’s
pointing out to them... you can’t give what you don’t have and clearly you
don’t have it... b/c what you are speaking is not of the WORD.
Y’shua
said to them... “If you were Avraham’s children, then you would do the works of
Avraham.” -
--
in other words - the seed of FAITH...
This
takes us back to the “doubling of words”... the - saying it twice... b/c it is
very important!
grass
reproduces grass...
peaches
reproduce peaches
IF
you are a true believer in YHWH then you would do what YHWH says.
BECAUSE
like kind produces like kind.
Can
also go to
Galutyah (Galatians)
3:16,19
p 876
16
“Now to Avraham and his zera were the promises made. He said not, And to your seeds, as in many;
but as One, And to your Zera, which is Moshiach.
19
What purpose then does the Torah (book of the law) serve: it was added because
of transgressions, until the Zera should come to whom the promise was made; and
heavenly malchim through the hands of a Mediator ordained it.”
I Kefa 1:23 p 825
“Having been born again, not of
corruptible zera but incorruptible, through the word of YHWH which lives and
abides le-olam-va-ed”
Gilyahna (Revelation)
12:17
p 919
“And the dragon was angry with the
woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her zera, that shomer the
mitzvoth ofYHWH, and have the testimony of Y’shua haMoshiach.”
Brad
says...
“ZERA
/ Seed - YHWH chooses to use this term - “ZERA/ “seed” - to talk about
faith.
The
same word that is used to multiply life, is the same word that is used to
multiply eternal life inYHWH.”
So
in order for us to understand the spiritual , we must first understand the
physical.
In
order for us to understand what the WORD of YHWH does....
we
must understand how a seed produces... after itself...
It
can only produce what is in it.
*
That
is one of the reasons Y’shua bawled Nikidomon out in
Yochanan 3 p 756....
b/c Nik was’t even understanding the
physical...
and Y’shua was using physical things to
understand the spiritual.
That
is why Y’shua turned to Nik and HE said... “If i told you earthly things and
you do not believe, then how will you understand if i tell you spiritual
things?”
YHWH
gives the physical to be a picture of the spiritual.
so
that is why knowledge of how reproduction / seed works... helps us understand
how the spiritual works.
46
chromosomes = have to have to have life in that cell.
when
you look at sperm of man and egg of woman - you will see 23 chromosomes in
each.
Egg
and sperm meet...
-In
order to have life - two things must become ONE.
-The
sperm and the egg - individually can not produce life.
Hebrew
uses the word “to know” in reference of a man and a woman having sexual
relations.
“Adam
knew Chava” means they had sexual relations...
“to
know” is not about two people making love... but it is only used (“to know”)
when reproducing a child.
“To
know” = Two things become one = reproduction
“To
know” also refers to eternal life
Yochanan 17:3 p 772
“And this is eternal chayim, that they
might know You, the only emet
and Y’shua haMoshiach, whomYou have sent.”
Mattityahu 7:22-23 p 682
“ A great many will say to Me in that
yom, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in your Name? and in your Name have
cast out shedim? And in your name done many wonderful mitzvoth and nisim? 23 And then will I profess to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you
what work Torah-less-ness.”
“knew”
= yada
In
other words...
“I
never had an intimate relationship with you in which two things became one and
now reproduce”
that
is the meaning behind “know”
I
don’t know about you - but i do NOT want Y’shua to say to me...
....
“I never had an intimate relationship with you in which two things became one
and produced fruit through you.” !!!
Yochanan 1:12 p 754
“But as many as received Him, to them
gave He power to become the sons of YHWH, even to them that believe on His
Name:
Here
- receiving is in context with being born again...
== to receive seed.
the
word of Yah is sown and if it is received... IT PRODUCES FRUIT!!!
- LIKE KIND OF YHWH’S
WORD!
....Otherwise
the seed /Word of YHWH is just words on paper --
--
unless they are received ...they do nothing/ produce no fruit.
-- and if they are received - a oneness takes
place and life can be reproduced!!
-
The word of YHWH is the sperm and mankind is the egg.
Parable
of Sower..
most
modern christians see seed as the Messiah and speaking of those with and
without eternal life.
This
parable is speaking of 4 diff reactions to the Word of YHWH.
If
that commandment that gives - is not obeyed - then it is not received and it
can not reproduce
Yochanan 17:3 p 772
Yochanan17:8 p772
“For i have given to them the words
which You gave Me and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from You, and they have believed You
did send Me.”
one
reproducing after itself. the law of
multiplying is based on the concept of the seed.
this
is important to see - theological reasons but also to rebut evolution.
ZERA / SEED in
scripture totally contradicts evolutionary thinking....
When
i read the Word it tells me YHWH created the animals and the grass and the
trees... and like kind produces after like kind.
When
i look out my window - i see the things of the WORD.
So
when i consider the spiritual ... i know that Zera/ Seed is the WORD of YHWH
and .... those who have that Zera will bear HIS FRUIT.
What
kind of fruit are we bearing?

AMEIN.
