Torah
Parashah – Tzav – Give an Order (Command)
Wayiqra
(Leviticus) 6:1 – 8:36 RSTNE p 84
This Torah
Parashah is the ordination of the Levitical priesthood.
The Torah
of how the priests will deal with the
-burnt
offering,
-the grain
offering,
-the
offering of Aharon and his sons,
-the sin
offering,
-the guilt
offering,
-shalom
offering,
-wave
offering,
- The fire
on the altar should be kept burning.
-Moshe was
instructed to wash the priests then
- in how
to dress Aharon and
-in anointing
Aharon,
-and how
to dress Aharon’s sons.
Then MARK the priests’ - right ear, right thumb, and right great toe.
Next
- the anointing of Aharon and his sons with the oil,
-and they
ate
-Then Yah
commanded them to make blood atonement and then to “abide at the door of the
Tabernacle for seven days and nights and guard (shawmer -keep) the charge of
YHUH, that you do not die”
CHARGE =
Strong’s H3941 = mismeret = guard, charge, function, obligation, service,
watch, keeping preserving

Let’s look a bit at Journey 2 Freedom
Two weeks ago we went through
book one’s last parts… the curses and ways to clean up our gifts.
I hope you did that or are
working through that.
This week we start
book 2
“Fatherhood and Generational Blessings”
p 3
We are all created in the image of YHUH.
And let’s have a short rabbit
trail here.
He created us to live
eternally / immortally with Him.
People today have significant
problems with trauma… especially around torture and around death.
And what we have to remember
about this – No wonder it is traumatizing!
We were never meant to see death!
P 4
YHUH’s purpose for man is an
irrevocable calling - meaning Yah never
takes it away!
Calling = klesis =
to be called forth; an invitation
Purpose = chashab = to weave, interpenetrate, to
fabricate.
= chephets = delight,
care good pleasure, precious, what you desire
= prothesis = to set
forth, make a proposal.
= To reveal our
redemptive gift/s.
P 6
Blessing
Amanda
writes:
“The father
declares these words over his family.”
Yes that is
great if he does – but I don’t see YHUH making it just about fathers!
We are a
kingdom of priests and in our home we should putting the Name of YHUH on each
child, and declare their worth and purpose!
On page 7
“The role
of the Father”
1. To bless –
baruch
2. To kneel
down before someone
3. To empower
to prosper
4. To succeed
in important things
5. To have a
pleasant, fulfilling journey
I am not
sure scripturally that these aren’t the role of the mother as well!
P 9. Define
a Father’s Mandate
“The first father was placed on this
earth and given a job.
“The word
‘tend’ in Hebrew is a lavdah! The root
word is avad and means ‘to work’.
P 13
Holy /
Kadosh
1. Totally
dedicated to YHUH’s use and will
2. Clean =
T’hor
3. Set apart
royal priesthood, holy nation
4. Kadosh = having
our fragmented soul made whole, unity, and completeness
5. Focused on
life and peace, perfection and completion.
And let’s add
6. Function / order – all Hebrew words that are positive – go back to function/order!
Common/
unholy/ “Chol”
1. That which
is conceived by man, that which gives man glory
2. Unclean =
tamei
3. Anything
that is manmade, self-effort, pleasing to the flesh.
4. The
explanation of this word defines it as : “Fragmented, incomplete incapable of perfection or completion
5. Fragmented,
turmoil, and destruction
And let’s add:
6. Dysfunction/ dis-order = all Hebrew words that are negative – go back to
dysfunction dis-order.
P 14
“Man, when he introduces his own choice and self into
the Garden, becomes fragmented and broken and in need of being made WHOLE.
They are chol – unholy and tamei unclean. As such they
can no longer be allowed to stay in the Eden sanctuary.”
Recently I read another definition for SHALOM….
We
know it is the complete cutting off of chaos…
But
this also included – wholeness or function.
“Adam failed to guard and allowed
someone whose motives are for self and destruction into the Holy Place.
Messiah Himself teaches that the enemy sows tares
while man sleeps.”
P 17 talks about a father that is not happy with the
mother being pregnant and makes statements according to that dysfunctional
state…
And of course, baby hears and knows.
On page 18 at the bottom, it says “That is an
incredible authority the father carries.
When that new spirit in the womb is assessed as unacceptable to the
father, the message of being unacceptable to God is inadvertently
communicated!!”
But look at the last statement on page 17:
“It is crucial that you communicate to the person’s spirit that God did
not enter into agreement with the statement made by the earthly father.”
This is crucial to understand that YHUH did not agree
with anything negative that has ever been said about you from your whole life!!
~
The top of page 18
Says that “In the New Testament we are all presented as members of the Royal Priesthood – there is no gender differentiation.”
I just want to add here… because there is so much
religion about man and woman.
According to Skip Moen’s teaching of Hebrew -
Male = zakar = the one who knows what YHUH says and does it
Female = nequabah = the leader, the teacher, the counselor, and the priest.
Also:
In looking at Genesis 2:18 talking about the ezer
knegdo.
EZER = a name of a priest in Nehemiah 12:42
The ezer is the encourager, protector, spiritual director (priest), to help, protect, provide, nourish, a line of defense for the male
Back to page 18
The role of the priest is to determine the
acceptability of man to Yah.
The example Amanda gives here is of a leper… had to go
outside the camp because unclean.
He
gets healed – then he has to go through all the things the priest says… to be
declared CLEAN.
A priest has “The authority to pass judgment, and the
ability to make a person clean.”
And of course we know that the True Melchizedek High
Priest – Yahusha has the authority to pass judgment.!! J
AND the
authority to say “You are clean. You are
acceptable. You are no longer
alienated. You are included again in the
community.”
~~~~
Look at the bottom of page 18 – Amanda explains that
what we know – when persons aren’t loved by their father – or have lack from
their father … it is difficult for them to relate or even like Abba YHUH.
And this makes sense.
BUT –
I was learning a different technique to counsel this
week… and I was supposed to be imagining that “either God the Father or Messiah
was with me / talking with me.”
And this lady was surprised that I struggled with
seeing “Jesus” beside me…
When all I could think was this is false and I want
Yahusha! So she changed the name she was
using….
And I still couldn’t see Him.
So then she asked about Father…
What I soon figured out is – that I struggled to see
them as separate – not ONE!

The Conflict Between the Greco-Roman understanding of
Blessing and that of the Hebrew Thought Pattern
The first thing Amanda wrote in this section is
“The
modern church has moved quickly to ‘claim’ the blessing of the Covenant. They do so by faith while rejecting the
responsibility of a life of obedience under the guidance of the Ruach haKodesh
to the Torah / Word of YHUH.”
Greco-Roman mindset = the
principle of blessing as a means to a life of provision, wealth/ success. – So it is:
“What can Yah do for me?”
And - “my gifts
and talents are for my use!” “I am
blessed so I can bless Yah’s work!”
Hebrew mindset = (direct opposite) – “I am
blessed so that I can serve YHUH!”
The blessing “isn’t an end goal or result but a means
to achieve Yah’s purposes!”
“I have a mission to fulfill.
So, what is our mission if we have a Hebraic
understanding?
1.
We are to be Son’s of
Yah.
2.
Son’s will always be
faithful to protect/ obey the Father’s House
Hebrews 3:1-6 p 815
“Many believers who think that the Old Testament
(Tanach) is “LAW” will tell us that the Jews failed b/c of the
‘things” of the law!
Hebrews 3:15 p 815. “While it is said, today if you will hear His voice,
harden not your levavot (hearts), as in the rebellion.”
Amanda says “This tells us that the Isra’elites were
never judged because they failed on various points of the Law, but because of a
lack of faith.”
It is important to see that every time Isra’el was
taken into slavery – “it was after time of serious idolatry/rebellion.”
Rebellion =
When “it’s about me.”
And
then I MUST realize that this means my
thinking is = “What will Yah do for me?!!”
- bless me, heal me, make me happy.”
Our
MISSION:
Hebrews 3:1 p 815
“Therefore, kadosh Isra’elite brothers, partakes of
the heavenly calling, consider the Sholiach and Kohen Gadol of our confession,
the Moshiach Yahusha!
Deuteronomy 6:1-3
This
gives us some important things!
1.
Yah directed Moshes to teach the
instructions/commandments
2.
Yah wants us to do
them and be watchful over Yah’s instructions
3.
We must always work
towards a generational legacy (IE blessing)
4.
My focus should be on
the NEXT generations!
5.
We must listen /obey
and observe Yah’s Words and work diligently so that we can increase mightily
(blessings) in the land that Yah gives us.”

Our
Purpose
Greek
1.
I believe in YHUH
2.
I profess faith in
YHUH
3.
I am serving YHUH
Hebrew
1.
I have surrendered to
YHUH’s will and purpose
2.
I do not profess to
understand everything and therefore let His Word do what He wants
3.
I accept the Covenant
– made NEW by the Melchizedek Yahusha haMoshiach who came in flesh (but wasn’t a hybrid) and
showed us how to live, and DIED and went to Sheol and took back the keys to sin
and death, and ROSE – got up out of death and LIVES forever as the True High
Priest of the Covenant of Promise – the covenant of health!! And my mindset
becomes coming out her – (Egypt – the Dragon’s lair) and learning to walk in
Yah’s Covenant of Health and LIFE. – Keeping the moeds and not eating certain
things and certainly not eating blood!
John 15:10 – 12 p 771 “If you keep My mitzvoth, you shall stay in My ahava; even as I have kept My Abba’s mitzvoth, and stay in His ahava.”
