THE LAW OF MOSES BEGINS_ THE MOST SKIPPED CHAPTERS IN CHRISTIANITY - WAKING UP TO THE TRUTH PT. 34 · truthunedited

0:03
Speaker 1: Okay, so you should be coming from part 33 of
0:05
Speaker 1: the series. These videos are part of an overall series
0:08
Speaker 1: meant to wake you up from lies and bring you
0:10
Speaker 1: into the truth. These videos should be watched from the
0:13
Speaker 1: beginning in order if you're going to understand what is
0:15
Speaker 1: being presented. So please, if you have not watched parts
0:18
Speaker 1: 1 through 33, please make sure at some point you
0:21
Speaker 1: go back from video 1 and watch them consecutively for
0:24
Speaker 1: true context. If you don't, you probably will have questions
0:27
Speaker 1: that were already answered. Okay, so in part 33... That
0:32
Speaker 1: was a special episode where we dealt with the Ten Commandments,
0:34
Speaker 1: in which I dedicated that episode to our children. Now,
0:37
Speaker 1: it has been a while since I've come back to
0:39
Speaker 1: this series. It's all about Yahweh and his timing. I
0:43
Speaker 1: sincerely thank those who had patience and allowed me to
0:45
Speaker 1: do what Yahweh called me to do.
0:47
Speaker 2: You see, where we left at with.
0:49
Speaker 1: The commandments was a little ahead of where we were
0:51
Speaker 1: at in the Torah series. And I was led to
0:53
Speaker 1: catch up in the Torah series, because the next chapters
0:56
Speaker 1: in Exodus, as we go towards the end, they're very
0:58
Speaker 1: much about the Torah, and Yahweh dwelling amongst his people
1:01
Speaker 1: and the specific rules of order that he placed as
1:04
Speaker 1: he established rules for them to live by. And then
1:06
Speaker 1: he established his priest, and then where he would dwell.
1:09
Speaker 1: And I was led to let the Torah series run
1:11
Speaker 1: in connection with these lessons in order for all of
1:14
Speaker 1: this to sink in and be processed. The chapters that
1:17
Speaker 1: we're about to read in Exodus are some of the
1:19
Speaker 1: most skimmed through chapters because of how directly it deals
1:22
Speaker 1: with the way of life that we cannot live today
1:24
Speaker 1: because we're not in the land. And some of the
1:26
Speaker 1: ways are just not easy to understand because of our
1:28
Speaker 1: modern day lifestyles. So when reading this, it's very easy
1:31
Speaker 1: to just gloss over it all and skim through it.
1:34
Speaker 1: But this should not be done. I prayed and waited
1:37
Speaker 1: for Yahweh to guide me to know if I should
1:39
Speaker 1: skip all of it or not. Because this stuff is
1:42
Speaker 1: not the juicy stuff that people like to hear. And
1:44
Speaker 1: it's also a little hard to put together. So I
1:47
Speaker 1: waited for direction. And that's how I received this direction
1:50
Speaker 1: about waiting until we get further in the Torah series.
1:52
Speaker 2: And here we are.
1:54
Speaker 1: These next chapters in Exodus are important chapters. Because as
1:57
Speaker 1: we just read in Exodus 20... Yahuwah just established his
2:01
Speaker 1: commandments with his people, and now he's establishing his judgments
2:04
Speaker 1: for how they should live and conduct themselves in the land.
2:07
Speaker 1: And if you understand these chapters, you will gain more
2:10
Speaker 1: insight and understanding of Yahuwah and his desire for his people.
2:14
Speaker 1: And so this is why I was not allowed to
2:15
Speaker 1: skip over, and I'm happy that I did not. So
2:18
Speaker 1: we're going to continue on in this series, and we're
2:20
Speaker 1: going to understand the law of the land that was
2:22
Speaker 1: established for the children of Yasharel.
2:25
Speaker 2: Let's begin.
2:28
Speaker 1: Okay, so before we get right into chapter 21, I'm
2:31
Speaker 1: going to backtrack just a second and start from where
2:33
Speaker 1: we left off in part 33. Where we ended, Yahweh
2:36
Speaker 1: just gave the commandments and the people had fear in
2:39
Speaker 1: them because of his power. We're going to go back
2:41
Speaker 1: there because it was at this point where he begins
2:43
Speaker 1: the discussion in regards to his commands. We will start
2:46
Speaker 1: back in verse 18 of chapter 20. It says, Now
2:51
Speaker 1: all the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the
2:54
Speaker 1: sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the
2:56
Speaker 1: people saw it, They trembled and stood afar off. Then
3:00
Speaker 1: they said to Moshe, You speak with us, and we
3:03
Speaker 1: will hear. But let not Elohim speak with us, lest
3:06
Speaker 1: we die. And Moshe said to the people, Do not fear,
3:09
Speaker 1: for Elohim has come to test you, and that his
3:12
Speaker 1: fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.
3:16
Speaker 1: So the people stood afar off, but Moshe drew near
3:18
Speaker 1: the thick darkness where Elohim was. Then Yahweh said to Moshe,
3:23
Speaker 1: Thus you shall say to the children of Yashareel, You
3:25
Speaker 1: have seen that I have talked with you from heaven,
3:28
Speaker 1: You shall not make anything to be with me. Gods
3:30
Speaker 1: of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make
3:33
Speaker 1: for yourselves. An altar of earth you shall make for me.
3:36
Speaker 1: And you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and
3:39
Speaker 1: your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen. And every
3:43
Speaker 1: place where I record my name, I will come to
3:44
Speaker 1: you and I will bless you. And if you make
3:47
Speaker 1: me an altar of stone, you shall not build it
3:49
Speaker 1: of hewn stone. For if you use your tool on it,
3:52
Speaker 1: you have profaned it. Nor shall you go up by
3:54
Speaker 1: steps to my altar that your nakedness may not be
3:57
Speaker 1: exposed on it. Exodus chapter 20 verses 18 through 26.
4:02
Speaker 1: So after Yahweh establishes commandments with Yashorel, Moshe drew near
4:06
Speaker 1: to him and Yahweh began to give Moshe more instructions.
4:09
Speaker 2: And what follows is why.
4:11
Speaker 1: We call it the law of Moses, because these are
4:13
Speaker 1: the instructions that Yahweh delivered directly to Yashorel through Moshe.
4:17
Speaker 1: And in these next chapters, Yahweh deals directly with how
4:20
Speaker 1: he wants his people to live and how he wants
4:22
Speaker 1: to be worshiped. And so it starts with discussing the
4:25
Speaker 1: law of the altar. And that's what we just read.
4:29
Speaker 1: As Yahweh says in verse 24, An altar of earth
4:32
Speaker 1: you shall make for me, and you shall sacrifice on
4:35
Speaker 1: it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep
4:38
Speaker 1: and your oxen. In every place where I record my name,
4:41
Speaker 1: I will come to you and I will bless you.
4:44
Speaker 1: Understand what you're hearing here. Yashareel was forbidden to make
4:48
Speaker 1: any altar more elaborate than an altar of earth. An
4:51
Speaker 1: altar of earth is a simple unadorned structure made from
4:55
Speaker 1: unhewn stones. Now, a hewn stone is a natural rock
4:59
Speaker 1: that has been cut. It's been shaped, smooth, using heavy
5:03
Speaker 1: tools like chisels, axes, or saws for building. Yahweh commanded
5:08
Speaker 1: that his altar not be cut or shaped. No tool
5:11
Speaker 1: should be used on it, or you will profane it.
5:14
Speaker 1: As I'm emphasizing in the Torah series, you must understand
5:18
Speaker 1: he is Kodesh, so he does not desire all the
5:21
Speaker 1: extra stuff that people do in religion. He is Kodesh.
5:24
Speaker 1: You must regard him this way. The altar is the
5:28
Speaker 1: place for worship of Yahuwah. An altar is a raised
5:31
Speaker 1: table or platform used for religious worship, sacred offerings, and
5:35
Speaker 1: spiritual ceremonies. He said the altar was to be used
5:39
Speaker 1: for the burnt offerings and peace offerings. And we read
5:41
Speaker 1: about that in Leviticus. You should know altars were also
5:45
Speaker 1: used in pagan worship as well. Yahuwah is telling his
5:48
Speaker 1: people what he wants in regards to his worship. And
5:51
Speaker 1: as you're reading, you are seeing how Yahuwah is establishing
5:54
Speaker 1: himself as different than the other gods of this world
5:56
Speaker 1: that the pagans worshipped. Just understand, just by his commands
6:00
Speaker 1: about the altar, this is already different than what Yashura
6:03
Speaker 1: would have been seeing.
6:04
Speaker 2: The Egyptians do. It is different than every other culture.
6:08
Speaker 1: They want to make these beautiful, elaborate altars, make all
6:11
Speaker 1: these things to show that they are worshipping God. But
6:14
Speaker 1: if you know Yahuwah, you can know that this is
6:16
Speaker 1: not about him. He does not want the work of
6:19
Speaker 1: man to profane his altar. He created the earth. The
6:22
Speaker 1: stone they chose would be created by him. So this
6:26
Speaker 1: is why he gave these specific instructions. This is a
6:29
Speaker 1: great way of recognizing the Elohim that you know. You
6:33
Speaker 1: know in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in the
6:35
Speaker 1: last scene, the Templar knight gave them the task to
6:38
Speaker 1: pick up the cup that supposedly the Messiah drank from.
6:42
Speaker 1: Those that did not know him thought it would be
6:44
Speaker 1: beautiful and adorned with jewels. But that's only because they
6:47
Speaker 1: did not know him. Use this right here as an
6:50
Speaker 1: understanding for yourself and recognizing the difference between religion and
6:54
Speaker 1: serving Yahuwah. Religion, they want extravagance. They want you to say,
6:58
Speaker 1: look at how big and beautiful we have made this.
7:01
Speaker 1: Like these altars in these Catholic churches. They clearly have
7:04
Speaker 1: ignored Yahuwah and his words. And they are worshiping a
7:07
Speaker 1: different God. If you truly know Yahuwah, you can see
7:10
Speaker 1: this for yourself and you know to avoid this. This
7:13
Speaker 1: comes from knowing scripture and knowing Yahuwah and his standards.
7:18
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing.
7:19
Speaker 1: From the time that we get these instructions in Exodus,
7:22
Speaker 1: we are getting into some direct understanding of Yahuwah and
7:24
Speaker 1: what he's establishing for his people in order for them
7:26
Speaker 1: to know him and worship him and for him to
7:28
Speaker 1: dwell amongst them. As you read these chapters in Exodus,
7:32
Speaker 1: in your first few reads, they sometimes can be confusing
7:35
Speaker 1: and to be honest, a little boring because you may
7:37
Speaker 1: not be clearly understanding what it is that's being discussed.
7:40
Speaker 1: And it's understandable that you just keep reading and just
7:43
Speaker 1: skim over it because you don't want to get caught
7:45
Speaker 1: up or confused. But as I said earlier, these chapters
7:49
Speaker 1: are important Because they are establishing the law that Yahshua
7:53
Speaker 1: lived through. And if you read it, you can understand
7:56
Speaker 1: more of Yahuwah. So it's important that we read through
7:59
Speaker 1: all of it. I again apologize for taking my time
8:01
Speaker 1: to get back to this. But I move as I
8:04
Speaker 1: am led. And Yahuwah led me to work in congruence
8:06
Speaker 1: with the Torah series. So that these things can be
8:08
Speaker 1: expounded on as we get more understanding of the Torah.
8:11
Speaker 1: So let's continue with the next chapters in the book
8:13
Speaker 1: of Exodus. What we will do is separate it by
8:17
Speaker 1: each different law and topic that he speaks on. We'll
8:20
Speaker 1: start with first the law concerning servants. Exodus chapter 21
8:24
Speaker 1: verses 1 through 11. It says, Now these are the
8:28
Speaker 1: judgments which you shall set before them. If you buy
8:31
Speaker 1: a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in
8:34
Speaker 1: the seventh he shall go out free and pay nothing.
8:37
Speaker 1: If he comes in by himself, he shall go out
8:40
Speaker 1: by himself. If he comes in married, then his wife
8:43
Speaker 1: shall go out with him. If his master has given
8:45
Speaker 1: him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters,
8:48
Speaker 1: the wife and her children shall be her masters, and
8:51
Speaker 1: he shall go out by himself. But if the servant
8:53
Speaker 1: plainly says, I love my master, my wife, and my children,
8:57
Speaker 1: I will not go out free, then his master shall
9:00
Speaker 1: bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him
9:03
Speaker 1: to the door or to the doorpost, and his master
9:05
Speaker 1: shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall
9:08
Speaker 1: serve him forever. And if a man sells his daughter
9:10
Speaker 1: to be a female slave, she shall not go out
9:13
Speaker 1: as the male slaves do. If she does not please
9:15
Speaker 1: her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he
9:18
Speaker 1: shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right
9:21
Speaker 1: to sell her to a foreign people, since he has
9:23
Speaker 1: dealt deceitfully with her. And if he has betrothed her
9:27
Speaker 1: to his son, he shall deal with her according to
9:29
Speaker 1: the custom of daughters. If he take another wife, he
9:32
Speaker 1: shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marriage rights.
9:35
Speaker 1: And if he does not do these three for her,
9:37
Speaker 1: then she shall go out free without paying money. Exodus
9:41
Speaker 1: chapter 21 verses 1 through 11. Okay, so we are
9:45
Speaker 1: now moving into understanding the laws that Yashariel will be
9:47
Speaker 1: governed by. He has given clear instructions that his people
9:50
Speaker 1: will know how to govern themselves in the land. It's
9:53
Speaker 1: important to understand that what you're reading cannot be applied
9:56
Speaker 1: today as we are not in the land and we
9:59
Speaker 1: are not able to govern ourselves. in these different lands
10:01
Speaker 1: that are not governed by Yahuwah and they don't care
10:03
Speaker 1: about his sovereign will. So when we're reading this, you're
10:06
Speaker 1: understanding more about Yahuwah and his standards and the order
10:09
Speaker 1: that he has established with his people. When we're going
10:12
Speaker 1: through this, it's important that you review the laws, not
10:14
Speaker 1: in regards to how we are to apply them now
10:17
Speaker 1: because we cannot. But what you want to do is
10:19
Speaker 1: learn what Yahweh wants from us and how he wants
10:22
Speaker 1: us to live and be. And by really understanding the
10:25
Speaker 1: way he establishes people, you can learn to look at
10:27
Speaker 1: his Torah with a circumcised heart.
10:29
Speaker 2: You want to not just.
10:30
Speaker 1: Know what his law is, but understand why he established
10:33
Speaker 1: it so you can have a circumcised heart. Again, we
10:37
Speaker 1: cannot apply these laws in this wicked land, but you
10:39
Speaker 1: can learn the culture of Yahweh and understand what a
10:42
Speaker 1: circumcised heart looks like by living through the principles that
10:45
Speaker 1: he has established. So let's go through this and understand Yahuwah.
10:50
Speaker 1: As we start with these first verses, understanding the law
10:52
Speaker 1: concerning servants, it's important to understand some important points when
10:55
Speaker 1: applying this. First, understand this is not referring to the
10:58
Speaker 1: slaves from the people of the Canaanites that they later
11:01
Speaker 1: would take possession of as they took back their land. No,
11:05
Speaker 1: this law is a reference to their own people. They
11:07
Speaker 1: called them servants then, but you can apply this today
11:10
Speaker 1: with the modern understanding of an employee.
11:12
Speaker 2: But this is all due to circumstance.
11:15
Speaker 1: For instance, this often happens because of indebtedness or another
11:18
Speaker 1: crisis that might force a person to be in service
11:21
Speaker 1: to someone else. This is what would happen, and there
11:24
Speaker 1: were rules that Yahweh set forth in order to establish.
11:26
Speaker 2: Order amongst this.
11:28
Speaker 1: You can imagine in ruling his people, if rules were
11:30
Speaker 1: not set forth, people could just take advantage and do
11:33
Speaker 1: what they wanted. It's very much how laws are written
11:36
Speaker 1: in our countries today, after certain things happen and then
11:39
Speaker 1: people seek justice. But Yahweh was proactive and established his
11:43
Speaker 1: order before he truly established them. So for those who
11:46
Speaker 1: will be a servant, these are the rules. A servant
11:50
Speaker 1: shall serve six years and in the seventh year, he
11:53
Speaker 1: shall go out and be free and he owes nothing.
11:56
Speaker 1: If you're understanding Yahuwah more, you're seeing more of his
11:59
Speaker 1: order and understanding that he cares about the Sabbath day
12:02
Speaker 1: because you see the same order here. Work six years,
12:06
Speaker 1: free on the seventh. So you cannot be master over
12:09
Speaker 1: any of your people forever just because you deemed it so. Now,
12:13
Speaker 1: if the man comes in service on his own, he
12:15
Speaker 1: leaves the same way whether he's single or married. If
12:18
Speaker 1: the man becomes married during his period of service, the
12:21
Speaker 1: wife and children belong to the master. But if the
12:24
Speaker 1: servant does not want to leave his family behind, he
12:26
Speaker 1: was able to make a commitment of lifelong servitude. The
12:29
Speaker 1: piercing of the ear marks the servant to be under
12:32
Speaker 1: his master forever. Now, it also discussed a female slave.
12:37
Speaker 1: Women also endured this hardship. In ancient times, a family
12:40
Speaker 1: might be reduced to such a desperate state that they
12:43
Speaker 1: would sell a daughter into bondage. Please understand, this is
12:45
Speaker 1: not just something that was with the people of Yashorel.
12:48
Speaker 1: These were different times and people had these laws and customs.
12:51
Speaker 1: It should not be viewed and judged according to our
12:53
Speaker 1: modern perspectives because though many of us are paid today,
12:56
Speaker 1: you don't recognize that many of us are in the
12:58
Speaker 1: form of slaves in the same way. I mean, just
13:01
Speaker 1: because you get a paycheck doesn't mean that you're not
13:03
Speaker 1: a slave.
13:03
Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
13:05
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, just because you see slave or servant written,
13:08
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you can just judge the Bible. This
13:10
Speaker 1: is the mindset taught by the enemy to make us
13:12
Speaker 1: look at the Bible negatively and because we were slaves.
13:15
Speaker 1: What you need to understand is that Yahuwah is establishing
13:17
Speaker 1: rules and order for his people, because unfortunately, these things
13:21
Speaker 1: do happen. So again, this does happen to women. The
13:25
Speaker 1: law given was actually to protect this purchased bride. If
13:28
Speaker 1: she was not acceptable to her new master, he would
13:31
Speaker 1: let her be redeemed, meaning her freedom could be purchased
13:33
Speaker 1: by another person. But in no case was she able
13:36
Speaker 1: to be sold to a foreign people. If she was
13:39
Speaker 1: purchased as a bride for a man's son, she was
13:41
Speaker 1: to be treated as one would treat their own daughter.
13:45
Speaker 1: If the man took another wife later, he was to
13:47
Speaker 1: continue to treat the purchased wife with respect. Her food, clothing,
13:51
Speaker 1: and marriage rights would continue. A husband who refused these
13:54
Speaker 1: necessities was to let the woman go free. And this
13:58
Speaker 1: was the rules of order Yahweh established as the law
14:01
Speaker 1: concerning servants. Let's move on to the next set of laws.
14:05
Speaker 1: We will deal with the law concerning violence. Exodus chapter
14:08
Speaker 1: 21 verses 12 through 27. It says, He who strikes
14:13
Speaker 1: a man so that he dies shall surely be put
14:15
Speaker 1: to death. However, if he did not lie in wait,
14:18
Speaker 1: but Elohim delivered him into his hand, then I will
14:21
Speaker 1: appoint for you a place where he may flee. But
14:24
Speaker 1: if a man acts with premeditation against his neighbor to
14:27
Speaker 1: kill him by treachery, you shall take him from my
14:29
Speaker 1: altar that he may die. And he who strikes his
14:32
Speaker 1: father or his mother shall surely be put to death.
14:35
Speaker 1: He who kidnaps a man and sells him or he
14:38
Speaker 1: is found in his hand shall surely be put to death.
14:41
Speaker 1: and he who curses his father or his mother shall
14:44
Speaker 1: surely be put to death. If men contend with each other,
14:47
Speaker 1: and one strikes the other with a stone or with
14:49
Speaker 1: his fist, and he does not die, but is confined
14:52
Speaker 1: to his bed, if he rises again and walks about
14:55
Speaker 1: outside with his staff, then he who struck him shall
14:58
Speaker 1: be acquitted. He shall only pay for the loss of
15:01
Speaker 1: his time and shall provide for him to be thoroughly healed.
15:04
Speaker 1: And if a man beats his male or female servant
15:06
Speaker 1: with the rod so that he dies under his hand,
15:09
Speaker 1: he shall surely be punished. Notwithstanding, if he remains alive
15:12
Speaker 1: a day or two, he shall not be punished, for
15:15
Speaker 1: he is his property. If men fight and hurt a
15:18
Speaker 1: woman with child so that she gives birth prematurely, yet
15:21
Speaker 1: no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as
15:24
Speaker 1: the woman's husband opposes on him, and he shall pay
15:27
Speaker 1: as the judge is determined. But if any harm follows,
15:30
Speaker 1: then you shall give life for life, eye for eye,
15:33
Speaker 1: tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for.
15:36
Speaker 2: Foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
15:40
Speaker 1: If a man strikes the eye of his male or
15:42
Speaker 1: female servant and destroys it, he shall let him go
15:44
Speaker 1: free for the sake of his eye. And if he
15:47
Speaker 1: knocks out the tooth of his male or female servant,
15:49
Speaker 1: he shall let him go free for the sake of
15:50
Speaker 1: his tooth. Exodus chapter 21 verses 12 through 27. And
15:54
Speaker 1: this is dealing with the law concerning violence. So let's
15:57
Speaker 1: review what it says. It starts with verse 12. It says,
16:00
Speaker 1: He who strikes a man so that he dies shall
16:02
Speaker 1: surely be put to death. And what you're seeing is
16:05
Speaker 1: this is the basic circumstances for capital punishment, meaning the
16:08
Speaker 1: death penalty. But in understanding this, understand there's no difference
16:11
Speaker 1: between today and back then. In evaluating this sentence, cases
16:15
Speaker 1: that would have happened had circumstances that need to be
16:17
Speaker 1: considered while weighing the judgment for death. Also, something that
16:21
Speaker 1: complicated things, the family who lost the person, they often
16:24
Speaker 1: sought retribution. They, of course, sought justice. And you can
16:28
Speaker 1: understand how this will complicate things when there's no order.
16:31
Speaker 1: These laws were meant to provide this order. They were
16:33
Speaker 1: meant to place limits on penalties that might be carried out.
16:37
Speaker 1: So here are some of the rules. As verse 13 gives,
16:41
Speaker 1: a person who accidentally killed someone could escape punishment by
16:44
Speaker 1: fleeing to a city of refuge. And this is why
16:46
Speaker 1: when Yahweh divides the land later in Numbers, each of
16:48
Speaker 1: the tribes are given cities of refuge. As Numbers chapter
16:52
Speaker 1: 35 says, Then Yahweh spoke to Moshe, saying, Speak to
16:56
Speaker 1: the children of Yasharel and say to them, When you
16:58
Speaker 1: cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, then you
17:00
Speaker 1: shall appoint cities to be cities of refuge for you,
17:03
Speaker 1: that the manslayer who kills any person accidentally may flee there.
17:07
Speaker 1: They shall be cities of refuge for you from the
17:10
Speaker 1: Avenger that the manslayer may not die until he stands
17:13
Speaker 1: before the congregation in judgment. Numbers chapter 35 verses 9
17:16
Speaker 1: through 12. He had it all worked out. Now verse
17:21
Speaker 1: 14 speaks on acts of premeditation or deliberate acts of murder.
17:25
Speaker 1: And this was absolutely punishable by death. Verse 15. If
17:29
Speaker 1: you struck your mother or your father, that's punishable by death.
17:32
Speaker 1: Verse 16. If you kidnap a man, regardless if you
17:35
Speaker 1: sell him or not, this is punishable by death verse
17:39
Speaker 1: 17 if you curse your mother or your father you
17:42
Speaker 1: shall surely be put to death just so you know
17:45
Speaker 1: to curse your mother or father means to treat them
17:47
Speaker 1: with extreme disrespect speak evil of them or invoke a
17:51
Speaker 1: harmful curse against them remember this was the fifth commandment
17:54
Speaker 1: that yahweh etched in stone yahweh did not tolerate this
17:57
Speaker 1: and it was worthy of death i.
17:59
Speaker 2: Bet these children didn't play around with their parents.
18:02
Speaker 1: I think of today how some culture's literally curse their
18:05
Speaker 1: parents and disrespect them on the regular right in front
18:07
Speaker 1: of them.
18:08
Speaker 2: I never understand it, but I see it often. You're
18:10
Speaker 2: not eating candy now.
18:11
Speaker 1: That's nice, but you're still not eating candy.
18:16
Speaker 2: It's irrelevant, Kayla. You're not eating sugar. Kayla, listen to me.
18:20
Speaker 2: You're not eating sugar now, and that's that. Not right now.
18:39
Speaker 1: These people would not exist in Yashura with that type
18:41
Speaker 1: of behavior. In verses 18 and 19, this ruling allowed
18:46
Speaker 1: the victim of a fight to be compensated for lost
18:48
Speaker 1: time and for treatment of their injury. Verse 20 and 21,
18:53
Speaker 1: these provisions guarded somewhat against the abuse of slaves. Verses
18:56
Speaker 1: 22 and 23, If a woman did not die from
18:59
Speaker 1: being struck, then the offender will be fined. If she
19:02
Speaker 1: were to die, then the penalty was life for life
19:06
Speaker 1: or eye for eye. In verses 23 through 25, this
19:09
Speaker 1: is where we get the understanding of the law of retaliation.
19:12
Speaker 1: Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, wound for wound. Now,
19:16
Speaker 1: when Yahusha comes, he provides more understanding of what Yahuwah
19:19
Speaker 1: truly is looking for as ones with a circumcised heart.
19:24
Speaker 1: But these verses is where that law comes from. Lastly,
19:28
Speaker 1: in 26, 27, if a man strikes his male or
19:30
Speaker 1: female servant and causes injury, the master shall be compelled
19:33
Speaker 1: to let their slave go free. This is the law
19:36
Speaker 1: of the land, the law concerning violence. Let's continue. The
19:41
Speaker 1: animal control laws, Exodus chapter 21, verses 28 through 35.
19:44
Speaker 1: If an ox gores a man or a woman to death.
19:50
Speaker 1: then the ox shall surely be stoned and its flesh
19:52
Speaker 1: shall not be eaten, but the owner of the ox
19:54
Speaker 1: shall be acquitted. But if the ox tended to thrust
19:57
Speaker 1: with his horn in times past and has been made
20:00
Speaker 1: known to his owner and he has not kept it
20:02
Speaker 1: confined so that it has killed a man or woman,
20:04
Speaker 1: the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall
20:07
Speaker 1: be put to death. If there is imposed on him
20:09
Speaker 1: a sum of money, then he shall pay to redeem
20:11
Speaker 1: his life, whatever is imposed on him.
20:14
Speaker 2: Whether it has gored.
20:15
Speaker 1: A son or gored a daughter, according to this judgment
20:17
Speaker 1: it shall be done to him. If the ox gores
20:20
Speaker 1: a male or female servant, he shall give to their
20:22
Speaker 1: master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
20:25
Speaker 1: If a man opens a pit, or if a man
20:27
Speaker 1: digs a pit and does not cover it, and an
20:30
Speaker 1: ox or donkey falls in it, the owner of the
20:32
Speaker 1: pit shall make it good. He shall give money to
20:34
Speaker 1: their owner, but the dead animal shall be his. If
20:37
Speaker 1: one man's ox hurts another's, so that it dies, then
20:41
Speaker 1: they shall sell the live ox and divide the money
20:43
Speaker 1: from it, and the dead ox they shall also divide.
20:47
Speaker 1: Or if it was known that the ox tended to
20:48
Speaker 1: thrust in time past, and its owner has not kept
20:51
Speaker 1: it confined, he shall surely pay ox for ox, and
20:54
Speaker 1: the dead animal shall be his own. Exodus chapter 21
20:58
Speaker 1: verses 28 through 35.
21:00
Speaker 2: This is a judgment concerning animals.
21:02
Speaker 1: The judgment concerning an ox we have seen with many
21:05
Speaker 1: animals today like dogs. This should be very easy to
21:07
Speaker 1: understand actually. An ox that caused a human death, it
21:10
Speaker 1: was to be destroyed. But the owner would not suffer
21:13
Speaker 1: further punishment than this, as this was clearly a punishment,
21:16
Speaker 1: losing an ox.
21:18
Speaker 2: Now, if the ox had a history.
21:19
Speaker 1: Of injuring others and then killed a free person, the
21:22
Speaker 1: owner could be put to death for this. In some cases,
21:25
Speaker 1: a heavy fine might be imposed, but the owner's life spared.
21:29
Speaker 1: An unintended pit that caused the death of an animal
21:31
Speaker 1: would require restitution to the animal's owner because the animals
21:35
Speaker 1: were the livelihood of their owners. If someone's ox killed
21:38
Speaker 1: another man's ox, then they shall sell the live ox
21:41
Speaker 1: and split the money from it. If the owner knows
21:44
Speaker 1: the ox had a tendency to thrust its horn and
21:46
Speaker 1: kill another ox, then he shall.
21:48
Speaker 2: Get the dead ox and give up another ox.
21:51
Speaker 1: All these laws make sense, and as you're reading, I
21:53
Speaker 1: hope that makes you understand more about the culture and
21:55
Speaker 1: the way of life of Yashorel. Let's keep reading. We'll
21:59
Speaker 1: move on to chapter 22. Responsibility for property. Exodus chapter 22,
22:04
Speaker 1: verses 1 through 15. It says, If a man steals
22:09
Speaker 1: an ox or a sheep and slaughters it or sells it,
22:12
Speaker 1: he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four
22:15
Speaker 1: sheep for a sheep. If the thief is found breaking
22:18
Speaker 1: in and he's struck so that he dies, there shall
22:20
Speaker 1: be no guilt for his bloodshed. If the sun has
22:23
Speaker 1: risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed.
22:26
Speaker 1: He shall make full restitution. If he has nothing, then
22:29
Speaker 1: he shall be sold for his theft. If the theft
22:32
Speaker 1: is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is
22:34
Speaker 1: an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double.
22:38
Speaker 1: If a man causes a field or vineyard to be
22:40
Speaker 1: grazed and let loose his animal and it feeds in
22:43
Speaker 1: another man's field, he shall make restitution from the best
22:46
Speaker 1: of his own field and the best of his own vineyard.
22:49
Speaker 1: If fire breaks out and catches in thorns so that
22:52
Speaker 1: stacked grain, standing grain, or field is consumed, he who
22:55
Speaker 1: kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. If a man
22:59
Speaker 1: delivers to his neighbor money or articles to keep and
23:02
Speaker 1: it is stolen out of the man's house, if the
23:04
Speaker 1: thief is found, he shall pay double. If the thief
23:07
Speaker 1: is not found, then the master of the house shall
23:09
Speaker 1: be brought to the judges to see whether he has
23:11
Speaker 1: put his hand into his neighbor's goods. For any kind
23:15
Speaker 1: of trespass, whether it concerns an ox, donkey, a sheep,
23:18
Speaker 1: or clothing, or any kind of lost thing which another
23:21
Speaker 1: claims to be his, the cause of both parties shall
23:24
Speaker 1: come before the judges, and whomever the judges condemn shall
23:28
Speaker 1: pay double to his neighbor. If a man delivers to
23:30
Speaker 1: his neighbor a donkey, an ox, a sheep, or any
23:33
Speaker 1: animal to keep, and it dies, is hurt, or driven away,
23:37
Speaker 1: no one seeing it Then an oath of Yahuwah shall
23:39
Speaker 1: be between them both, that he has not put his
23:42
Speaker 1: hand into his neighbor's goods, and the owner of it
23:44
Speaker 1: shall accept that, and he shall not make it good.
23:47
Speaker 1: But if, in fact, it is stolen from him, he
23:49
Speaker 1: shall make restitution to the owner of it. If it
23:52
Speaker 1: is torn to pieces by a beast, then he shall
23:54
Speaker 1: bring it as evidence, and he shall not make good
23:56
Speaker 1: what was torn. And if a man borrows anything from
23:59
Speaker 1: his neighbor, and it becomes injured or dies, the owner
24:02
Speaker 1: of it being with it, he shall make it good.
24:04
Speaker 1: If its owner was with it, he shall not.
24:06
Speaker 2: Make it good. If it was hired... It came for
24:08
Speaker 2: its hire.
24:10
Speaker 1: Exodus chapter 22 verses 1 through 15.
24:13
Speaker 2: This should also be easily understood.
24:15
Speaker 1: I mean, not too long ago in the days of
24:17
Speaker 1: this American frontier as this country was being built, just
24:20
Speaker 1: stealing a horse during those days was sometimes punished by hanging.
24:24
Speaker 1: Taking someone's horse can be considered a great loss. It's
24:27
Speaker 1: like stealing someone's car that they use for business or
24:29
Speaker 1: to get to work. It's the same mindset that's attached
24:32
Speaker 1: to these laws. As it's written here, stealing an ox
24:36
Speaker 1: or sheep carried heavy penalties. The restitution was greater than
24:39
Speaker 1: the value of the stolen animal. So five oxen for
24:43
Speaker 1: one stolen ox or four sheep for one sheep. If
24:46
Speaker 1: a thief is caught and struck dead for breaking in,
24:49
Speaker 1: there is no guilt for the bloodshed. If he is
24:51
Speaker 1: not caught in the act but later is killed for it,
24:54
Speaker 1: then there is guilt for the bloodshed. If he cannot
24:57
Speaker 1: make full restitution, then they are sold as a servant.
25:01
Speaker 1: If a man lets his animal loose and it feeds
25:03
Speaker 1: in another man's field, the man must make restitution. If
25:07
Speaker 1: someone kills a fire that spreads, they shall make restitution
25:10
Speaker 1: for the damage caused to others. If a man asks
25:13
Speaker 1: his neighbor to hold something for him and is stolen
25:15
Speaker 1: from the neighbor, the thief must pay double. If the
25:19
Speaker 1: thief is not found, the neighbor is brought to the
25:21
Speaker 1: judge to determine if he did wrong. Any matter where
25:24
Speaker 1: someone claims he lost something but someone else says it
25:27
Speaker 1: is his, the matter must come before the judges and
25:29
Speaker 1: the judges decide. If a man delivers his property to
25:33
Speaker 1: his neighbor and it dies but no one saw what happens,
25:35
Speaker 1: he they shall make an oath to Yahweh between them.
25:39
Speaker 1: If a man borrows anything and has become injured or dies,
25:42
Speaker 1: the person must make it good. This was the law
25:45
Speaker 1: concerning property, as it helped govern between the people of Yashareel,
25:49
Speaker 1: and you.
25:49
Speaker 2: Can see that it was fair. Let's continue reading.
25:53
Speaker 1: Moral and Ceremonial Principles, Exodus chapter 22, verses 16 through 31.
25:59
Speaker 1: If a man entices a virgin who is not patrolled
26:02
Speaker 1: and lies with her, he shall surely pay the bride
26:04
Speaker 1: price for her to be his wife. If her father
26:07
Speaker 1: utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay
26:10
Speaker 1: money according to the bride price of virgins. You shall
26:13
Speaker 1: not permit a sorceress to live. Whoever lies with an
26:16
Speaker 1: animal shall surely be put to death. He who sacrifices
26:20
Speaker 1: to any God except to Yahweh only, he shall be
26:22
Speaker 1: utterly destroyed. You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him,
26:27
Speaker 1: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
26:30
Speaker 2: You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.
26:33
Speaker 1: If you afflict them in any way and they cry
26:35
Speaker 1: at all to me, I will surely hear their cry
26:37
Speaker 1: and my wrath will become hot and I will kill
26:40
Speaker 1: you with the sword. Your wives shall be widows and
26:42
Speaker 1: your children fatherless. If you lend money to any of
26:45
Speaker 1: my people who are poor among you, you shall not
26:47
Speaker 1: be like a money lender to him.
26:49
Speaker 2: You shall not charge him interest.
26:51
Speaker 1: If you ever take your neighbor's garment as a pledge,
26:54
Speaker 1: you shall return it to him before the sun goes down.
26:57
Speaker 1: For that is his only covering. It is his garment
26:59
Speaker 1: for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it
27:02
Speaker 1: will be that when he cries to me, I will hear,
27:04
Speaker 1: for I am gracious. You shall not revile Elohim, nor
27:08
Speaker 1: curse a ruler of your people. You shall not delay
27:11
Speaker 1: to offer the first of your right produce and your juices.
27:14
Speaker 1: The firstborn of your sons you shall give to me.
27:17
Speaker 1: Likewise you shall do with your oxen and your sheep.
27:20
Speaker 1: It shall be with his mother seven days. On the
27:22
Speaker 1: eighth day you shall give it to me. It shall
27:24
Speaker 1: be holy men to me. You shall not eat meat
27:27
Speaker 1: torn by beasts in the field. You shall throw it
27:29
Speaker 1: to the dogs. Exodus chapter 22 says, verses 16-31. Okay,
27:35
Speaker 1: so these are the moral principles that were attached to
27:37
Speaker 1: the people. The violation of a young woman was regarded
27:41
Speaker 1: as a serious offense. You see, if a man takes
27:44
Speaker 1: a virgin who is not formally engaged or promised to
27:46
Speaker 1: be married to someone, and he lies with her, he
27:49
Speaker 1: must pay the bride price for her. If the father
27:52
Speaker 1: refuses to give her to him, he must pay the
27:54
Speaker 1: bride price for virgins. According to Deuteronomy 22, verses 28-29,
27:57
Speaker 1: the price of this was 50 shekels. The payment of
28:03
Speaker 1: the bride price, what that was, that was the payment
28:06
Speaker 1: of money, property, or labor given by a groom to
28:09
Speaker 1: the bride's father to secure a marriage. For example, if
28:12
Speaker 1: you can remember what Jacob was required to do to
28:14
Speaker 1: marry Rachel. If you remember, Levon made him work. You
28:18
Speaker 1: might be able to see that this is where the
28:20
Speaker 1: custom of a man speaking to the father of his
28:22
Speaker 1: woman comes from.
28:23
Speaker 2: If he took her virginity, he.
28:25
Speaker 1: Would have to pay the father twice, and he would
28:27
Speaker 1: have to take the woman as his wife. This was
28:29
Speaker 1: a steep fine, and it was meant to discourage young
28:31
Speaker 1: men from reckless behavior. I mean, you could see if
28:34
Speaker 1: there were actual laws and order in our families today
28:37
Speaker 1: like this, if our men had respect, things would not
28:40
Speaker 1: be like they are today. I mean, if a young
28:43
Speaker 1: man knew that the woman he took her virginity, that
28:45
Speaker 1: he had to marry and pay double for her, then
28:47
Speaker 1: he's going to think long and hard before he plays
28:49
Speaker 1: those type of games.
28:50
Speaker 2: I don't care how fine she was.
28:52
Speaker 1: It's also stated that any witch or sorceress must be
28:55
Speaker 1: put to death. Also, if you lie with an animal,
28:58
Speaker 1: you must be put to death. If you sacrifice to
29:01
Speaker 1: any god other than Yahuwah, then you are to be destroyed.
29:04
Speaker 1: It's written that you cannot mistreat a stranger or oppress them.
29:08
Speaker 1: So those not native born of Yashorel who were amongst them,
29:11
Speaker 1: that did not mean that they were authorized to mistreat
29:13
Speaker 1: or oppress them. You shall not afflict any widow or
29:16
Speaker 1: fatherless child. Basically, just because there's no man to guard
29:20
Speaker 1: this family does not give you the right to take
29:21
Speaker 1: advantage of them. If that family cries to Yahuwah about this,
29:25
Speaker 1: then Yahuwah will bring his wrath upon this person and
29:27
Speaker 1: kill them. It's written that you should not lend money
29:30
Speaker 1: to the poor among you and charge interest. If you
29:34
Speaker 1: borrow your neighbor's garment, return it to them before the
29:36
Speaker 1: day ends so that they can live properly. You should
29:40
Speaker 1: not revile any ruler of your people. Yahuwah is the
29:43
Speaker 1: ultimate sovereign and disrespecting whom he appoints is disrespecting him.
29:48
Speaker 1: Promptness was commanded in offering the first fruits and the
29:50
Speaker 1: presentation of one's son. This reminded the children of Yashorel
29:54
Speaker 1: that all that they had was a gift from Yahuwah.
29:57
Speaker 1: Yashorel was to be set apart from other nations And
30:00
Speaker 1: so he told them that they should not eat meat
30:02
Speaker 1: torn by beasts of the field. They cannot do what
30:04
Speaker 1: the other nations did. These were the moral and ceremonial
30:08
Speaker 1: principles of the land. They all make sense to me.
30:11
Speaker 1: We will go on to one more chapter, chapter 23,
30:14
Speaker 1: and we will review. Justice for all. Exodus chapter 23,
30:20
Speaker 1: verses 1 through 9. You shall not circulate a false report.
30:25
Speaker 1: Do not put your hand with the wicked to be
30:26
Speaker 1: an unrighteous witness. You shall not follow a crowd to
30:29
Speaker 1: do evil. Nor shall you testify in a dispute so
30:32
Speaker 1: as to turn aside at the many to pervert justice.
30:35
Speaker 1: You shall not show partiality to a poor man in
30:38
Speaker 1: a dispute. If you meet your enemy's ox or his
30:41
Speaker 1: donkey going astray, you shall surely be bringing back to
30:43
Speaker 1: him again. If you see the donkey of one who
30:46
Speaker 1: hates you lying under its burden and you would refrain
30:49
Speaker 1: from helping it, you shall surely help him with it.
30:52
Speaker 1: You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in
30:54
Speaker 1: his dispute. Keep yourself far from a false matter. Do
30:58
Speaker 1: not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not
31:02
Speaker 1: justify the wicked and you shall take no bribe for
31:05
Speaker 1: a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of
31:07
Speaker 1: the righteous. Also, you shall not oppress a stranger for
31:11
Speaker 1: you know the heart of a stranger because you were
31:13
Speaker 1: strangers in the.
31:14
Speaker 2: Land of Egypt.
31:16
Speaker 1: Exodus chapter 23 verses one through nine. This is more
31:20
Speaker 1: about the conduct of those living in Yashar El. As
31:23
Speaker 1: it's written, you should not be out there lying, giving
31:26
Speaker 1: false reports about people. Malicious talk is condemned everywhere in
31:29
Speaker 1: scripture like we read in James chapter 3. Just because
31:33
Speaker 1: it's the culture today online doesn't mean that it was accepted.
31:37
Speaker 1: Don't follow a crowd to do evil. I mean, goodness,
31:39
Speaker 1: this is so important if you understand this, especially today,
31:42
Speaker 1: because this is how society got so bad, by just
31:45
Speaker 1: following the crowd. Do not falsely testify in order to
31:48
Speaker 1: pervert justice just because you don't want to see someone
31:51
Speaker 1: you care about get judged. When it's written, not showing
31:54
Speaker 1: partiality to a poor man in his dispute, This is
31:57
Speaker 1: about justice. Yahweh's support of the poor did not overrule
32:00
Speaker 1: his justice. This was made because Yahweh anticipated that some
32:04
Speaker 1: would use poverty as an excuse for greedy, even criminal activity.
32:09
Speaker 1: If you see your enemy's property going astray, just because
32:11
Speaker 1: you're at odds with them, you still should not let
32:14
Speaker 1: it happen. You have evil in your heart if that's
32:16
Speaker 1: the case. This is again going back to having a
32:18
Speaker 1: circumcised heart. In verse 5, when referencing the donkey lying
32:23
Speaker 1: under its burden, What this is speaking about is an
32:25
Speaker 1: animal that has collapsed or crouched to the ground because.
32:27
Speaker 2: Its load is too heavy.
32:29
Speaker 1: Just because you see the donkey of your enemy burdened
32:32
Speaker 1: and you don't move with spite in your heart, you
32:34
Speaker 1: need to help the man move the stuff yourself. Stay
32:37
Speaker 1: far away from a false matter. Basically, when you see
32:40
Speaker 1: people lying and playing games, stay far away from it.
32:45
Speaker 1: Take no bribes as this blinds justice and perverts the
32:48
Speaker 1: words of the righteous. Your loyalty should never be for sale. Again,
32:52
Speaker 1: he speaks against oppressing a stranger, one who is not
32:55
Speaker 1: native born of Yashorel. This is a known understanding that
32:59
Speaker 1: they lived through. Yahuwah requires justice for all. If you
33:03
Speaker 1: understand his ways and his judgments, it can help you
33:05
Speaker 1: live with a more circumcised heart. These group of scriptures
33:09
Speaker 1: are definitely areas where the children of Yashorel dropped the ball.
33:12
Speaker 1: Let's continue on. The law of the Sabbath. Exodus chapter
33:17
Speaker 1: 23 verses 10 through 13. Six years you shall sow
33:22
Speaker 1: your land and gather in its produce, but the seventh
33:24
Speaker 1: year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that
33:27
Speaker 1: the poor of your people may eat, and what they
33:29
Speaker 1: leave the beasts of the field may eat. In like
33:32
Speaker 1: manner you shall do with your vineyard and your olive grove.
33:35
Speaker 1: Six days you shall do your work, and on the
33:37
Speaker 1: seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your
33:40
Speaker 1: donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant
33:42
Speaker 1: and the stranger may be refreshed. And in all that
33:45
Speaker 1: I have said to you, be circumspect and make no
33:48
Speaker 1: mention of the name of other gods nor let it
33:50
Speaker 1: be heard from your mouth. Exodus chapter 23 verses 10
33:53
Speaker 1: through 13. So in addition to the weekly Sabbath, Yahshua
33:58
Speaker 1: also practiced a Sabbath year after arriving in the land.
34:01
Speaker 1: Letting the land rest means the land should be left
34:04
Speaker 1: unplanted every seventh year. When it says, let it rest
34:07
Speaker 1: and lie fallow, this means unplanted. This allows the soil
34:11
Speaker 1: to rebuild the lost nutrients and it rests and it
34:15
Speaker 1: helps provide for the poor. Any crops that grow naturally
34:18
Speaker 1: during that seventh year are meant to be eaten by
34:20
Speaker 1: the poor and local wild animals. By let the land rest,
34:24
Speaker 1: it gave the land time to rejuvenate for greater productivity
34:26
Speaker 1: in the years to follow. This is a measure of
34:29
Speaker 1: faith that was required for Yashorel. This is Yahuwah's way
34:32
Speaker 1: of saying to his people, trust me, I will bless
34:35
Speaker 1: your fields as you worked them for six years. On
34:38
Speaker 1: the seventh year, let the land rest and I will
34:40
Speaker 1: take care of you even in the rest. It required
34:44
Speaker 1: faith from Yashorel and dependence on Yahuwah. If you don't
34:47
Speaker 1: understand the Sabbath, you would never understand this. It wasn't
34:50
Speaker 1: just about the people, but he did it for the
34:52
Speaker 1: land as well. I think the creator of the world
34:55
Speaker 1: knows what's best for the land. You have to understand
34:57
Speaker 1: there would be no other people in this world that
35:00
Speaker 1: would ever do this on their own.
35:01
Speaker 2: This was only for his set apart people. He guided them.
35:06
Speaker 1: Also, it says six days you shall work and rest
35:09
Speaker 1: on the seventh. It is a cycle that never changes.
35:12
Speaker 1: Work six, rest on the seventh.
35:14
Speaker 2: Repeat.
35:15
Speaker 1: This goes for you, your family, all your servants, and
35:18
Speaker 1: all your animals. And as he says, the people will
35:20
Speaker 1: be refreshed because of it. Now, in the command to
35:24
Speaker 1: not make mention of the name of other gods, as
35:26
Speaker 1: they were in the land and under the covering of Yahuwah,
35:28
Speaker 1: as the strangers of the other lands introduced their false gods,
35:31
Speaker 1: the children of Yasharot were basically to act as if
35:33
Speaker 1: they did not exist. They were to pay no mind
35:36
Speaker 1: to their other gods, do not bring them up, do
35:38
Speaker 1: not mention them. The gods of the other nations had
35:41
Speaker 1: nothing to do with them. Okay, so let's continue. In
35:45
Speaker 1: the next part, he deals with the three annual feasts.
35:48
Speaker 1: Exodus chapter 23, verses 14 through 19. Three times you
35:52
Speaker 1: shall keep a feast to me in the year. You
35:55
Speaker 1: shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. You shall eat
35:57
Speaker 1: unleavened bread seven days as I commanded you at the
36:00
Speaker 1: time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it
36:02
Speaker 1: you came out of Egypt.
36:04
Speaker 2: None shall appear before me empty.
36:06
Speaker 1: And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labor,
36:09
Speaker 1: which you have sown in the field and the feast
36:11
Speaker 1: of ingathering at the end of the year. When you
36:13
Speaker 1: have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.
36:16
Speaker 1: Three times in the year all your males shall appear
36:19
Speaker 1: before Yahuwah Elohim. You shall not offer the blood of
36:21
Speaker 1: my sacrifice with leavened bread nor shall the fat of
36:24
Speaker 1: my sacrifice remain until morning. The first of the first
36:27
Speaker 1: fruits of your land you shall bring into the house
36:29
Speaker 1: of Yahuwah your Elohim. You shall not boil a young
36:32
Speaker 1: goat in its mother's milk. And so here he's talking
36:35
Speaker 1: about the feast. Now I've covered this in these two videos.
36:38
Speaker 1: He speaks of the feast of unleavened bread. The Feast
36:41
Speaker 1: of Harvest, also known as the Feast of Weeks, or
36:43
Speaker 1: what's most properly known as Pentecost. And the Feast of Ingathering,
36:47
Speaker 1: or Feast of Tabernacles, is also known as Sukkot. These
36:51
Speaker 1: three times in the year, all the males of Yashorel
36:53
Speaker 1: should appear before Yahuwah. Now during this time, Yahuwah was
36:56
Speaker 1: in a tabernacle of meeting. But now that we have
36:59
Speaker 1: been given the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh, he dwells
37:02
Speaker 1: amongst each of us. So if we acknowledge him and
37:04
Speaker 1: remember him and give him his worship, he will receive
37:07
Speaker 1: it wherever we are.
37:09
Speaker 2: So remember him. Keep his feast. The last command in
37:13
Speaker 2: this is verse 19.
37:13
Speaker 1: It says, you should not boil a young goat in
37:16
Speaker 1: his mother's milk. There's a lot of confusion on this
37:19
Speaker 1: today because of the influence of the Rep 2 Nines.
37:22
Speaker 1: People use this like you can't have cheese on your burger,
37:24
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Please do not apply it this way.
37:28
Speaker 1: This was a command that forbade the Israelites to imitate
37:30
Speaker 1: the cruel sacrifices of their pagan neighbors. There are many
37:33
Speaker 1: claims that the pagan neighbors of the Israelites, they did
37:36
Speaker 1: this practice and they boiled the baby's goat in his
37:38
Speaker 1: mother's milk. They supposedly used the mixture or the ritual
37:41
Speaker 1: as a magic fertility rite to sprinkle on the fields
37:44
Speaker 1: and the crops to increase harvest yields. They did it
37:47
Speaker 1: to increase their productivity. The reason why this command is
37:50
Speaker 1: written here is because of the mention of first fruits.
37:53
Speaker 1: The children of Yashura did not need to engage in
37:55
Speaker 1: these pagan activities. If they depended upon Yahuwah and did
37:58
Speaker 1: according to his commands, he would provide the harvest. They
38:02
Speaker 1: did not need to worry and do like the pagan
38:04
Speaker 1: nations did. Please, do not apply what the Rev. 2-9s
38:07
Speaker 1: have said to this. You can eat cheese with your hamburger.
38:10
Speaker 1: They just really pervert everything to just really provide confusion.
38:13
Speaker 1: Do not follow them. Okay, so let's just finish this
38:18
Speaker 1: up by finishing the chapter. We will understand the angel
38:21
Speaker 1: of Yahuwah and the promises. That's Exodus chapter 23, verses
38:25
Speaker 1: 20 through 33. As it's written, Behold, I send an
38:30
Speaker 1: angel before you to keep you in the way and
38:32
Speaker 1: to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
38:35
Speaker 1: Beware of him and obey his voice. Do not provoke him,
38:38
Speaker 1: for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name.
38:41
Speaker 2: Is in him.
38:43
Speaker 1: But if you indeed obey his voice and do all
38:45
Speaker 1: that I speak, then I will be an enemy to
38:47
Speaker 1: your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. For my
38:51
Speaker 1: angel will go before you and bring you in to
38:54
Speaker 1: the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the
38:56
Speaker 1: Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, and I will
39:00
Speaker 1: cut them off. You shall not bow down to their
39:02
Speaker 1: gods nor serve them, nor do according to their works.
39:05
Speaker 1: but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down
39:08
Speaker 1: their sacred pillars. So you shall serve Yahweh your Elohim
39:12
Speaker 1: and he will bless your bread and your water. And
39:15
Speaker 1: I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
39:17
Speaker 1: No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land.
39:21
Speaker 1: I will fulfill the number of your days. I will
39:23
Speaker 1: send my fear before you. I will cause confusion among
39:26
Speaker 1: all the people to whom you come it will make
39:29
Speaker 1: all your enemies turn their backs to you and i
39:31
Speaker 1: will send hornets before you which i'll drive out.
39:34
Speaker 2: The hivite the canaanite and the hittite.
39:36
Speaker 1: From before you i will not drive them out from
39:39
Speaker 1: before you in one year lest the land become desolate
39:41
Speaker 1: and the beasts of the field become too numerous for
39:43
Speaker 1: you little by little i will drive them out from
39:46
Speaker 1: before you until you have increased and you inherit the
39:48
Speaker 1: land and I will set your bounds from the Red
39:51
Speaker 1: Sea to the sea, Philistia and from the.
39:53
Speaker 2: Desert to the river.
39:54
Speaker 1: For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into
39:57
Speaker 1: your hand, and you shall drive them out from before you.
40:00
Speaker 1: You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
40:03
Speaker 1: They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make
40:05
Speaker 1: you sin against me. For if you serve their gods,
40:08
Speaker 1: it will surely be a snare to you. Exodus chapter 23,
40:12
Speaker 1: verses 20 through 33. You see, after he set forth
40:16
Speaker 1: his judgments for them, and explain how they were to
40:18
Speaker 1: conduct themselves, Yahweh promised that he was going to send
40:21
Speaker 1: an angel before them to keep them in the way
40:23
Speaker 1: and to bring them to the place that he has
40:25
Speaker 1: prepared for them. They were to be aware of him
40:28
Speaker 1: and obey his voice and not provoke him. The promise
40:31
Speaker 1: was that if Yahshua obeyed his voice and did what
40:34
Speaker 1: Yahweh spoke, then he would be their guardian and their protector.
40:38
Speaker 1: He would be an enemy to their enemies and an
40:40
Speaker 1: adversary to their adversaries. They would literally be the most
40:43
Speaker 1: powerful nation on the earth because the creator of all
40:46
Speaker 1: was guarding them. He promised that he would take sickness
40:50
Speaker 1: away from them. He promised that no one would suffer
40:52
Speaker 1: a miscarriage or be barren in the land. He will
40:55
Speaker 1: send his fear before them and strike it into the
40:57
Speaker 1: hearts of the other nations around them. He even gave
41:00
Speaker 1: them conditions on why he wasn't even driving out the
41:03
Speaker 1: other nations too quickly because he wanted the land to
41:05
Speaker 1: be ready for them. He was going to completely be
41:08
Speaker 1: there for them as long as they obeyed him and
41:10
Speaker 1: did not serve the other nations.
41:12
Speaker 2: And you know what?
41:13
Speaker 1: They messed that up completely. So much so that they
41:16
Speaker 1: wound up murdering his sons the one he anointed and
41:19
Speaker 1: sent to us. And they wound up receiving the curses
41:22
Speaker 1: that he declared for them.
41:23
Speaker 2: But you know what?
41:25
Speaker 1: All of what he promised, we are promised that after
41:28
Speaker 1: our punishments, he will bring us back to him and
41:31
Speaker 1: we can live in these promises and be what he
41:33
Speaker 1: intended his children to be. He humbled us tremendously, but
41:37
Speaker 1: the time is coming for us to be a part
41:39
Speaker 1: of those promises. So you must let him know, Yahuwah,
41:42
Speaker 1: we want to serve you and we are waiting for you.
41:45
Speaker 2: We love you.
41:46
Speaker 1: We must let him know this And make ourselves ready
41:49
Speaker 1: for him to serve him so that we do not
41:51
Speaker 1: repeat the mistakes of our ancestors. And we also, we
41:54
Speaker 1: must not tolerate that mindset from the others around us.
41:57
Speaker 1: I completely reject anyone who wants to bring that nastiness
42:00
Speaker 1: into the kingdom. Not around me it will happen. I
42:03
Speaker 1: reject it completely. We have no more tolerance for the rebellion.
42:07
Speaker 1: We just want to do what's right and be what
42:09
Speaker 1: Yahweh has always desired. And so when we read the
42:12
Speaker 1: abundance that he has promised, yeah, it's right to see
42:14
Speaker 1: that they blew it. But it's also very encouraging to
42:17
Speaker 1: know that he has promised us these same promises and
42:20
Speaker 1: it's up to us individually to choose if we're going
42:22
Speaker 1: to be a part of it or not. So I
42:24
Speaker 1: hope you make the right choice and prepare yourself for
42:26
Speaker 1: him and his promises. But look, that's the rundown of
42:31
Speaker 1: the law of the land that Yahweh laid before his people.
42:33
Speaker 1: He had everything laid out properly and it all made sense.
42:37
Speaker 1: It was not hard to keep and it was fair.
42:39
Speaker 1: There was justice and fairness And if you understand his rules,
42:42
Speaker 1: you will understand truly what a circumcised heart looks like.
42:45
Speaker 1: And you will understand the type of person that you
42:47
Speaker 1: need to be. Because as I said in the beginning,
42:50
Speaker 1: though we are not in the land, it still does
42:52
Speaker 1: not stop you from being the type of person that
42:53
Speaker 1: he was molding.
42:55
Speaker 2: He had rules and expectations.
42:57
Speaker 1: And if you understand his Torah, then you can better
42:59
Speaker 1: understand how he wants you to be. This is what
43:02
Speaker 1: he desires. Listen, I know it's very easy to just
43:05
Speaker 1: gloss over these scriptures. But this is what it means
43:08
Speaker 1: to study to show yourselves approved. If we just read
43:11
Speaker 1: and study, you can grow more in understanding what we
43:14
Speaker 1: are to be and why. And that's why I did
43:17
Speaker 1: not skip over this. We have more to go over
43:20
Speaker 1: because he's going to establish his worship and how he
43:22
Speaker 1: will dwell amongst them.
43:23
Speaker 2: So we're going to talk about that next.
43:26
Speaker 1: So please, go to part 35 of this playlist and
43:29
Speaker 1: continue to grow in knowledge and truth. Live your life
43:32
Speaker 1: in the truth and stay out of the lies. Because
43:37
Speaker 1: the kingdom of Yahuwah is truly at hand.
43:41
Speaker 2: Be ready for it. And be blessed. Hallelujah. Praise Yah. Okay.
