Torah
Parashah - Wayiqra (starting Wayiqra) 1:1- 6:7 p 82
B’re’shiyt
Recap to 1:22!!! :) - Based on Brad
Scott’s “B’re’shiyt” study
Torah
Parashah
Reminder:
The
Book of the Covenant ended in Sh’mot (Exodus) 24:11 and
the
Book of the Law started in the next verse Sh’mot 24:12
So
we keep instructions that are mentioned before that point
And
some of those have MORE instructions in Book of Law ...
But
we do not keep the Levitical priesthood instructions = the Levitical
ADMINISTRATION -
Because
we have a new priest - THE High Priest - The Melchizedek - Yahusha
haMoshiach! :)
Just
Briefly - We keep The Book of the Covenant instructions... and do not get
involved in things regarding the ADMINISTRATION of the Levitical instructions of Book of Law.
But IN the Book of the Law more instruction/information is given that we can glean from... only we are not running around
doing sacrifices.
What
instructions do we keep?
1. Sanctification - Holiness
Codes. (Nader rules)
Exodus 19:14 What is holy and what is
profane
more in Leviticus 15 and 20.
2.
Spoken Statutes and relayed judgments between
man and man and
between man and YHUH.
Exodus 21- 24:11.... and expanded on in
the B of L
3.
Tattoos /Pagan Worship
Genesis 1:27
Exodus 20:25
I Corinthians 6:19
Expanded on in Leviticus 19:28
= No tattoos, no cutting of the flesh
- about reverence for the
“temple”
4.
Defining sin
-Genesis 9 - Noahide Laws
-Exodus 19:4
-Noahide Laws
A.
Idolatry
is forbidden - Do not deny YHUH
B.
Incestuous,
homosexual and adulterous relations forbidden
C.
Murder
is forbidden
D.
Cursing
the name of YHUH (speech must be sanctified)
E.
Don’t steal
F.
Eating
the flesh of a living animal is forbidden and no blood. (No animal cruelty)
G. Establish courts
of justice
-
All
but the last one comes from B’re’shiyt.
5.
Need a school master to understand blessing
and cursing
Galatians 3:24-25
6.
No
Divorce under Yahusha Mark 10:5
7.
Keeping Shabbat
- Genesis 2:3, Ex 20:8
8.
Keeping Feasts - Exodus 23 with 3 pilgrimage feasts
9.
Diet - Genesis 1,6,9, and expanded upon in Book
of Law
Genesis 6:21 “all food EATEN is food.”
10.
How then do we live? - Rightly divide
Torah under Melchizedek
Administration. Genesis 49:10, Hebrews 7:11-12
And
while we are defining sin...
Yochanan
Aleph (I John) 3:4
p 832
“Anyone
who commits sin violates Torah, for sin is the transgression of the Torah.”
So that little reminder as we start the book of Wayiqra (Leviticus)
Okay
so remember - that YHUH gave the Book of the Covenant - in the Covenant He made
with Avrahm .... and man broke it.
But
the Book of the Law - was imposed on man....
So
that said... let’s go to the Torah Parashah ...
Wayiqra
1: starts with information about offerings.
But
what I want to focus on is:
The
Trespass Oath ...
Wayiqra
(Leviticus) 5:1
p 83
“And
if a being sins, and hears the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he has seen, or
known of it; if he does not reveal it,
then he shall bear his iniquity.”
Pesach
is coming up and it is important to review this....
Mattityahu
26:63
(Matthew) p 703
{What
is going on - Yahusha is on trial before high priest Kaiaphis }
“But
Yahusha kept His silence. And the Kohen
HaGadol (High Priest) answered and said to Him, I put You under oath before the
Living God, that You tell us whether You are The Moshiach, the Son of the
Almighty.”
So
what were the (false) “witnesses” against Yahusha saying....that Yahusha was
saying He was God and that he wasn’t God.
So
here’s the big deal :
Yahusha
couldn’t lie - because a lie would be a sin and he would have no longer been
“sinless” AND if He told the Truth and
said He was YHUH.... then that would be grounds to kill him.
When
the priest put Yahusha under the Trespass Oath - Yahusha had to tell the
truth...
They knew Who He was... but if he
didn’t answer - it was a sin - and he had to be sinless.
And if he did answer - it was a “sin” and he had to be sinless and
if He did they had the “grounds” to kill him.
(Wayiqra 5:1).
Okay
so that is the Torah Gem for today. :)
*****
Yesterday I read a very disturbing article on
“Biotech'sDark Promise: Involuntary Cannibalism for All”
by Sayer Ji.
This
article talks about the things happening with aborted HUMAN fetal cells.
“... the cloning of human embryos for 'therapeutic purposes' was
made legal in the UK in January, 2001 through an amendment to the Human
Embryology Act.[i] Not long after, in August 2004, the Human Fertilisation
and Embryology Authority (HFEA) approved the first license for cloning
human embryos in the UK. Media reports at the time alleged the legal
changes would result in the use of cloned human embryos to create "spare
body parts."
In an article published in 2000 titled, "Biotech
Cannabalism,"[ii] C. Ben Mitchell, PhD reflects on the pro-cloning movement by
quoting a proponent's justification: "If you could use tissue from human
embryos to save hundreds of lives, there must be a moral imperative to do
it." Mitchell disagrees, countering: "[C]reating a human being for
the purposes of killing that person for another human being's health, sounds an
awfully lot like cannibalism, only worse."
Probably the most 'taken for granted' example of this is the use
of live, aborted fetus cell lines from induced abortions to produce vaccines.
Known as diploid cell vaccines (diploid cells have two
(di-) sets of chromosomes inherited from human mother and father), they are
non-continuous (unlike cancer cells), and therefore must be continually
replaced, i.e. new aborted, live fetal tissue must be harvested
periodically. A good portion of the CDC's immunization schedule requires the
use of these human fetus-originated vaccines, and these include: rubella,
measles, mumps, rabies, polio, smallpox, hepatitis A, chickenpox, and herpes
zoster. Additionally, so-called "abortion tainted vaccines" cultivated
on transformed fetal cells (293, PER.C6) are in the developmental pipeline,
including: "flu, Respiratory Syncytial and parainfluenza viruses, HIV,
West Nile virus, Ebola, Marburg and Lassa, hepatitis B and C, foot and mouth
disease, Japanese encephalitis, dengue, tuberculosis, anthrax, plague, tetanus
and malaria." [iii]
Another way in which the dark specter of cannibalism is
resurfacing in our lives is through biotech's intense investment in biopharming
technologies. Also known as molecular farming, biopharming
involves creating "drug-producing" GMOs by inserting a gene that code
for useful pharmaceuticals or biological products (e.g. antibodies,
lactoferrin) into host plants, insects or animals that do not naturally express
those genes.
Concerns over the unintended, adverse effects of this technology
are growing, primarily because once the genes are inserted into laboratory- or
field-trialed organisms, their escape into the biosphere is not just possible,
but a statistical inevitability.
There is intense work being done today to create biopharmed
"edible vaccines," which
contain deadly viral or bacterial vectors. Obviously, the
biopollution created by inserting these genes into plants traditionally used
for human consumption and which could find their way into the human food supply
could cause life-threatening health problems. But edible vaccines are
only a subset of biopharmed products in the developmental pipeline. There are a
broad range of human proteins being 'pharmed' using genetically modified
animals expressing human genes as 'bioreactors.'
Below is a small sample of biopharmed organisms in development
that could at some point in the future result in the inadvertent ingestion of
human proteins (technically, cannibalism):
•
GMO Bulls expressing human lactoferrin in their tissues,
intended for human consumption.[iv]
•
GMO Mice expressing a human granulocyte-macrophage colony
stimulating factor under control of a goat gene (goat alpha-S1-casein
gene).[v]
•
GMO Cattle milk expressing the human breastmilk proteins
human α-lactalbumin (TC-LA), lactoferrin (TC-LF) or lysozyme (TC-LZ).[vi]
•
GMO Pigs designed to express human α-galactosidase.[vii]
•
GMO Chickens designed to express human urokinase-type
plasminogen activator.[viii]
•
GMO Chickens designed to express human parathormone.[ix]
•
GMO Flies expressing human taste receptor genes.[x]
•
GMO Silkworm cells expressing human glycoproteins.[xi]
•
GMO Tomatoes expressing a human brain protein (humanβ-secretase).[xii]
•
GMO Tobacco expressing human erythropoietin intended to
be used to treat tissue injury.[xiii]
•
GMO Tobacco expressing human interferon alpha intended
for medical use.[xiv]
•
GMO Yeast expressing human Apolipoprotein A-II intended
for study.[xv]
•
GMO Lettuce and chicory expressing human interferon alpha
intended for medical use.[xvi]
•
GMO Rapeseed expressing human interferon alpha intended
for medical use.[xvii]
•
GMO Rice expressing human serum albumin (blood protein)
intended for medical purposes.[xviii]
•
GMO Rice expressing human lactoferrin intended for
medical use.[xix]
•
GMO Rice expressing human CYP1A1 enzyme (found in
placenta and liver) intended to help remediate pesticides in soil.[xx]
•
GMO Rice expressing human amyloidβ-peptide 'Alzheimer's
brain protein' intended as an oral vaccine producing plant.[xxi]
If
you think that sounds like a mess - you are right!
It
is!!!! And we could get all lost in the
fear of it if you want to...
BUT-
I
read that ... and again just was so grateful to YHUH for allowing us to learn
about SEED and MIXED....
and
so with that...
I
want to Review what we have done in B’re’shiyt....
with
Brad Scott’s B’re’shiyt study....
B’re’shiyt
1:1
“B’re’shiyt
bara Alohiym ET (Aleph -Tov) hashamayim
v’et ha’aretz.
In
the beginning Alohyim ET created the heaven and the earth.
So
out of the Bet - the house, comes all the Word.
Remember
these 7 words fit the Menorah.
With
one side about YHUH and the other about creation... with the shemesh - the middle
being the ET! :)
And
if we were drawing this verse - we would draw the Menorah
AND
We
would draw a house, a piece of land and a family.
BARA
= is a completed work done by ONE person.
So
1:1 is a completed work. And since our
Alohiym is a God of order... it was FINISHED/completed.
But
then we come to
B’re’shiyt
1:2
We
learn that it hay’tah = came into being
- tohu (confused chaos)
and
vavohu = astonished, amazed, confused, empty , V’CHOSHEK = DARK AND CONFUSED
So
it came to be SHOCKINGLY/ASTONISHINGLY
CONFUSED DARKNESS.
AND
THERE WAS T’HOM = A GREAT NOISE AND THE SPIRIT OF YHUH MOVED ON (VIBRATED ON)
THE FACE OF THE WATERS...
1:3
And
YHUH said let there be light... vay’hiy’or... and light became.
1:4
And
YHUH saw the light (THE ALEPH-TAV) and it was good.
And
He VAYYAV’DEL = PUT A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN (=BEYN), SEPARATED, DIVIDED
1:5
AND
YAH WAYIQ’RA (called, invited, named)
Yom (day) and lay’lah (night) and EREV = TO MIX, MINGLE, distinguishing
morning BOQER.
~~~~~~~
Also
this is where we begin to understand what a day is.
He
did a bunch of stuff...and the evening and the morning were the first day.
So
there is creating going on... and then the EREV (the mixed) comes...and there
must be night... and when we get back to the morning... that is a day!
(based
on LIGHT - NOT the sun!!!)
~~~~~~~~~
1:6
And
Yah said - let there be a firmament (“DOME OF THE SKY” in Mizmor/ Proverbs 19:1
in CJB) stretched forth (POUNDED, BEATEN OR CRUSHED OR TO FLATTEN) in the midst (TO CENTER, TO MAKE EQUIDISTANT,
IN THE MIDDLE) of the waters and let it
divide between waters from waters
1:7
And
Yah made the firmament, and divided between the waters which were under
(MIT-TACHAT = INSTEAD OF / AN UNDERSTUDY)
the firmament and above (ME’AL = ABOVE, OVER, BEYOND, OH HIGH) the
firmament.
1:8 And Alohiym called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning was the
second day.
{Again
he was busy creating... and the mixed EREV / evening came and then it was night
and then morning and that ended day 2.}
1:9
And
YHUH said let the waters be gathered together under heaven, into one place, and
let dry land appear... and it was so.
(This
is the Mikvah / Baptism / cleansing of the land that got astonishingly confused
in B’re’shiyt 1:2!)
1:10
And
YHUH called the dry land Earth, and the gathered waters (YAM-MIYM = TO ROAR,
SEA, WEST, MASS OF HUMANITY) and saw that it was good.
1:11
And
Alohiym said, let the earth grass (= TAD’SHE’ = TO SPROUT TO INCREASE, BRING
FORHT, GRASS) and the herb yielding seed(ZERA), and the fruit tree yielding
fruit after after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth. So it was.
1:12
And
the earth bore vegetation (= deshe’) herb seeding seed after its kind and the
tree producing fruit which is it in it after its kind and saw it was
good.
1:13
And
the erev (mixed, evening) and the morning (= boqer) the 3rd day.
1:14
And
Alohiym said let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide
between the day and between the night, and let them be for signs and for season
= (UL’MO’DIM = appointments, betrothal, set feasts) )=and for days and for years.
1:15
And
let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth and it was so.
1:16
And
Alohiym made 2 great lights to rule the day and the lesser to rule the night;
he made the stars also.
1:17
And
Alohiym set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.
1:18
And
to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the
darkness God saw it was good.
1:19
(Now
hear comes that “day” definition again!)
And
the evening (MIXED) AND THE MORNING were
the 4th day.
So
there was creation happening... and then it was evening... and then it was
night and then it was morning when the next day begins.
1:20
And
Alohiym said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that
hath life, and the fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of
heaven.
1:21
“And
Alohiym created great whales (SEA MONSTERS), and every living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly , after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind; and God saw that it was good.”
1:22
“And
Alohiym blessed the, saying. Be fruitful
and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas and let fowl multiply in the
earth.”
Vay’y’varek
(and blessed) = “and blessed”
“and
multiply” -ur’vu = multiply, increase,
authority, much exceedingly plenteous
“And
the evening and the morning day is the fifth (= armed, prepared, ready, fifth,
five).”
~~
Page
59 in Study guide talks about the #5.... what stands out to you??
~~
1:24
And
Alohiym said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind,
cattle, and creeping things, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was
so.
“cattle”
= B’hemah = subordinate, cattle, beast
1:25
And
Alohiym made the beast of the earth after its kind and cattle after their kind,
and everything that crept upon the earth after its kind and Yah saw that it as
good.
ha’damah
= “of the ground” = adam, man, reddish, healthy, earth , ground , land.
The
difference between the eretz (earth) and the adamah (also earth) is that
the adamah refers directly to the land mass and dirt.
Eretz
seems to generally speak of the planet and all that comes with it, ADAMAH
did not come from the seas, trees rocks and other animals.
