Acharei Mot

The twenty-ninth reading from the Torah and sixth reading from Leviticus is named Acharei Mot (אחרי מות), two words that mean "after the death." The title comes from the first words of the first verse of the reading, which say, "Now Yehovah spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron" (Leviticus 16:1). Leviticus 16 describes the Tabernacle ceremony for the holy festival of the Day of Atonement. Leviticus 17 establishes general rules for sacrifice and sanctuary. Leviticus 18 lays down specific laws about permitted and forbidden sexual relationships.

Kedoshim


The thirtieth reading from the Torah and seventh reading from Leviticus is named Kedoshim (קדושים), which mean "holy." The title comes from the words in Leviticus 19:2, which says, "You shall be holy, for I Yehovah your God am holy." Leviticus 19 describes the holy community through a series of specific commandments. Leviticus 20 warns against the snares of sexual immorality and idolatry, mandating a death penalty for certain sins. Except in biblical leap years, Kedoshim is read on the same Sabbath as the previous reading, Acharei Mot.

Today “parasha’ is again divided in two parts, so be patient in study and read to the end. There are a lot of things to discover and see what יהוה our Elohim want us to know. Remember “the entrance of thy words gives light, it gives understanding to the simple” (Psalm 119:130). I discussed with a sister concerning the lack of Torah in many brothers and sisters life. Torah is the core of our life as Elohim’s children. It is the Torah that makes difference in our life. Sha’ul “do not be conformed to this world, but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim” (Romans 12:2). How can we be transformed?
Mind: Strong’s G3563: Greek nous nooce.....Probably from the base of G1097; the intellect, that is, mind (divine or human; in thought, feeling, or will); by implication meaning: - mind, understanding. Compare G5590.G1097 ginōskō ghin-oce'-ko
A prolonged form of a primary verb; to “know” (absolutely), in a great variety of applications and with many implications (as shown at left, with others not thus clearly expressed): - allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) known (-ledge), perceive, be resolved, can speak, be sure, understand.
If you have read others “parasha” I wrote before, you will remember that I explain that the only way to renew our mind, our intellect, it is to remove what it has been put inside in order to replace with something new. The renewing is a simple process of removing something by putting something new instead in order to nullify the old.  We all had a wrong way, in our former life. We must make every effort to attain the new way of life by training ourselves in the Torah. Ya’acov (James) calls it the “Torah of liberty”, and says that we must be doer of the words (Torah or Mitzvot/commandments) and not hearer only (Jam1:22). Action speaks greater than words. Ya’acov is here making the connection with the well known verse of the Torah:
Deu 6:4 Hear (sh’mah), O Israel: YHWH is our Elohim, YHWH is one (echad):
Sh’mah in Hebrew carries the notion of listening and doing what we hear and not only to listen to something!
Jas 1:23 for if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: Jas 1:24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. Jas 1:25 but whoso looketh into the perfect law (Torah) of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Today the “parasha” is called “After death” as it start with a reminder of the death of Aharon’s sons.
The connection between the death of Aharon’s sons and the sacrifice he is called to make is for Yom Kippur, the tenth days of the seventh month.  We know that Yom Kippur is a double sacrifice, fulfilled in Messiah for those who are in Him (Messiah) and still to come, as it belongs to the “Fall Feast” of יהוה.  Yom Kippur is part of the last step of redemption, accomplished by יהושע as we are going to see. יהושע died between the two evening in the fourteen day of Aviv, the first month in the Hebrew calendar, He was the lamb slain for our redemption, to deliver us from our spiritual Egypt. יהושע is also our High Priest......
Heb 3:1 Therefore, set-apart brothers, partakers of the heavenly calling, closely consider the Emissary and High Priest of our confession, Messiah יהושע,  Heb 9:11 But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters…………,
The Anti-Messiah today has blinded the man of many Christians and given them the deceitful doctrine of “osas” (One Save Always Save). I have read also among messianic, those who also believe that our salvation can’t be lost…..
Php 3:11 if somehow I might attain to the resurrection from the dead.  Php 3:12 Not that I have already received, or already been perfected, but I press on, to lay hold of that for which Messiah יהושע has also laid hold of me.  Php 3:13 Brothers, I do not count myself to have laid hold of it yet, but only this: forgetting what is behind and reaching out for what lies ahead,
Php 2:12 So that, my beloved, as you always obeyed – not only in my presence, but now much rather in my absence – work out your own deliverance with fear and trembling,
Work out: Strong’s #G2716 katergazomai kat-er-gad'-zom-ahee....From G2596 and G2038; to work fully, that is, accomplish; by implication to finish, fashion: - cause, do (deed), perform, work (out) ..If it is to “finish” it is not complete yet!
Rev 2:26 “And he who overcomes, and guards My works until the end, to him I shall give authority over the nations,........
“I shall give” not “I give”, this is a future statement meaning, “when I come back I will”!
Aharon could not enter the Most Qadosh place during the year (verse 2) where the ark was, but only at a specific time during the day of Yom Kippur .  Aharon the “earthly High Priest” was foreshadowing יהושע’s work in the future: 
Heb 9:7 but into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for sins of ignorance of the people,.....
The reason is also mentioned in the book of Hebrew:
Heb 9:8 the Set-apart Spirit signifying this, that the way into the Most Set-apart Place was not yet made manifest while the first Tent Tabernacle) has a standing,  Heb 8:4 for if indeed He (Messiah) were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Torah,
Why was it so that Messiah couldn’t have been a priest? Because he was not a Levite, but from the tribe of Yehudah!
Heb 8:5 who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly, as Mosheh was warned when he was about to make the Tent. For He said, “See that you make all according to the pattern showed thee in the mount................
Verse 2: ……..because I appear in the cloud above the lid of atonement.
In the English translation we miss the meaning of “lid of atonement”, also called “mercy seat” in the King James: 
Lid of atonement: Strong’s #H3727 כּפּרת kappôreth kap-po'-reth written; qaf (20), peh (80), resh (200), Tav (400), (700).........From H3722; a lid (used only of the cover of the sacred Ark): - mercy seat.
H3722 kâphar kaw-far'....... A primitive root; to cover (specifically with bitumen see b'reshit/Gen. 6:14 "shall pitch); figuratively to expiate or condone, to placate or cancel: - appease, make (an) atonement, cleanse, disannul, forgive, be merciful, pacify, pardon, to pitch, purge (away), put off, (make) reconcile (-liation).  ....
B’reshit 6:14, speaking during the building of the arch, Noach was to “pitch” the ark outside and inside, meaning to “kaphar”, protect, inside and outside. This was foreshadowing the coming of salvation (see “parasha” Noach)...an I will appear in the cloud above the lid of atonement...Once again we see that יהוה will appear. יהוה is Spirit (Ruach) and therefore his presence is not physical, although real.....
Verses 3-4. Aharon shall enter the Qadoshin after having offer sacrifices, and put on the Set apart (Qadosh) linen, which is the righteousness of the Saints (Rev.19:8).
Remember “saints” is the Hebrew word “Qadosh”. Apostle Sha’ul understood the spiritual signification and explains it in the book of Hebrew (9:6-14).
Heb 9:6 and these having been prepared like this, the priests always went into the first part of the Tent, accomplishing the services.  Heb 9:7 But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for sins of ignorance of the people,1 Footnote: 1Num. 15:15-28. Heb 9:8 the Set-apart Spirit signifying this, that the way into the Most Set-apart Place was not yet made manifest while the first Tent has a standing,  Heb 9:9 which was a parable (shadow) for the present time in which both gifts and slaughters are offered which are unable to perfect the one serving, as to his conscience,  Heb 9:10 only as to foods and drinks, and different washings, and fleshly regulations imposed until a time of setting matters straight.  Heb 9:11 But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters, through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,  Heb 9:12 entered into the Most Set-apart Place once for all, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, having obtained everlasting redemption. Heb 9:13 for if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the defiled, sets apart for the cleansing of the flesh, Heb 9:14 how much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the everlasting Spirit offered Himself unblemished to Elohim, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim?
 To cleanse: (Hebrew 9:14) Strong’s #G2511 katharizo, to cleanse, purify, make clean.......
Conscience: (Heb.9:15) Strong’s #G4894 suneidēsis soon-i'-day-sis ....... From a prolonged form of G4894; co-perception, that is, moral consciousness: - conscience.  G4894; suneidō soon-i'-do From G4862 and G1492; to see completely; used (like its primary) only in two past tenses, respectively meaning to understand or become aware, and to be conscious or (clandestinely) informed of: - consider, know, be privy, be aware of.  We could write for the verse 14: “purify (clean) your perception senses, your moral consciousness to make you understand, and become aware, informed of what He (יהושע) has done”. 
Shaul says that it is יהושע Messiah who cleanses, makes us understand, become aware, inform our inner man, from dead works in order that we can serve the living Elohim (vese14).  This is a very important point to understand only Messiah can make us aware of our “dead works”. We know that “dead works” are those outside the Torah (Chapter 6:1). The blood of goats and calves couldn’t change the conscience of men under the first covenant (see the “midrash” “Walking after the flesh versus walking after the Ruach”). To enter the Set apart place once a year and so every year was a rehearsal until the time will come for the final act through Messiah יהושע).
I have a question: Do we actually realize that year after year we also celebrate the feast of יהוה, why do we do it, is it not a rehearsal, in order to be train in the truth until the day of the real one has come?
Do you think like many do, that all be over when Messiah comes? Do not be deceive, the Haftorah from today shows something different:
Isa 66:22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth* that I make stand before Me,” declares יהוה, “so your seed and your name shall stand. Isa 66:23 “And it shall be that from New Moon to New Moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” declares יהוה.
*Here an explanation need to be done concerning the verse 22: “For as the new heavens and the new earth*”
The Hebrew make a difference as will see. Many think that there will be a “new heaven and a new earth”.

In the verse above from Yeshayahu/Isaiah 66:22, the Hebrew word “HaChadashim” and “HaChadasha” share the same root “chodesh” used to mention the « New Moon » which is not « new » in the sense having never existed prior the time, but rather be simply renewed month after month.
The text from Yeshayahu must be aslo understood in this context of renewing as we can read also in Yrmeyahu 31 :31:

Here we see the same word “HaChadash” which mean to “rebuild”. Nothing new, but renewed or rebuild.
The conclusion is given us in the book of Revelation:
(Rev 21:1 [KJV])
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
 

Zec 14:16  And it shall come to pass (future), that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, YHWH of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zec 14:17  And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, YHWH of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.  Zec 14:18  And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith YHWH will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.  Zec 14:19 this shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
We see here clearly that it has not yet happen until today that all families of the earth or from Egypt has come from year to year to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacle in Yerushlayim!  When will it be?
The blood of goats and calves could only “cover” but not remove sin. Today Christianity proclaims his faith in “Jesus” and seems to have the conscience sealed, because they reject the truth: 
Joh 14:15 IfG1437 ye loveG25 me,G3165 keepG5083 myG1699 commandments.G1785 ....
What is love?: 
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love for Elohim, that we guard His commands,1 and His commands are not heavy Footnote: 1See 5:2, 2 John v. 6, John 14:15.
2Jn 1:6 and this is the love, that we walk according to His commands.1 This is the command, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
Hebrew 10:22 we read: “let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our heart (set apart place) sprinkled from an evil conscience (understanding) of our dead works, and our bodies (Tabernacle, tent, Mishkahn) washed with pure water (Torah).
Vayiqrah. 16:4 He (Aharon) shall put…..
these are Set apart Garments, therefore shall he wash his flesh (tent, tabernacle) in water. In Hebrew 10:22, the water is the Word of the Torah, in Vayyiqra (Lev.) it is the natural or literal water.  In 1st Corint.6:11 we see the spiritual aspect of Messiah’s work in the life of believers:
1Co 6:11 and such were some of you (drunkard, adulterer, swindler, effeminate…). But you were washed (by the Word), but you were set apart, but you were declared right in the Name of the Master יהושע and by the Spirit of our Elohim. 
Verses 5-6. Aharon had to make offering for sin and burnt offering before entering the Set Apart Place. Aharon like Moshe was not without sin. יהושע was perfect in all his way and without sin (2nd Corint. 5:21, 1 Kefa 2:22) Remember sin is “transgression of the Torah” (1st Yochanan 3:4)



5 …two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for burnt offering.
Two in Hebrew understanding is the number for division.  We are now in the Yom Kippur sacrifice. There are many opinions and teaching as regarding the two goats. 
Verses: 7-29. The two male goats, the first is for sin offering, the second is called “Azazel” (scapegoat in the King James Version and some others)………
Scapegoat: Strong’s #H5779 עזאזל written ayin (70), zayin (7), aleph (1), zayin (7), lamed (30) (115) ăzâ'zêl az-aw-zale' From H5795 and H235; goat of departure; the scapegoat: - scapegoat.   H5795 ‛êz aze From H5810; a she goat (as strong), but masculine in plural (which also is used elliptically for goats' hair): - (she) goat, kid.  H235 'âzal aw-zal' A primitive root; to go away, hence to disappear: - fail, gad about, go to and fro [but in Eze_27:19 the word is rendered by many “from Uzal,” by others “yarn”], be gone (spent)..............
I want you to see that the word for “scapegoat” , “Azazel” means To go away, to disappear, fail....
I will give here some explanation for other sources in order at the end to compare:  From Keil and Delitzsch defending that Azazel is a picture of Satan:
The lot for Azazel fell alive before Jehovah, עָלָיו לְכַפֵּר, “to expiate it,” i.e., to make it the object of expiation (see at Lev_16:21), to send it (them) into the desert to Azazel. עֲזָאזֵל, which only occurs in this chapter, signifies neither “a remote solitude,” nor any locality in the desert whatever (as Jonathan, Rashi, etc., suppose); nor the “he-goat” (from עֵז goat, and עָזַל to turn off, “the goat departing or sent away,” as Symm., Theodot., the Vulgate, Luther, and others render it); nor “complete removal” (Bähr, Winer, Tholuck, etc.). The words, one lot for Jehovah and one for Azazel, require unconditionally that Azazel should be regarded as a personal being, in opposition to Jehovah. The word is a more intense form of עָזַל removit, dimovit, and comes from עֲזַלְזֵל by absorbing the liquid, like Babel from balbel (Gen_11:9), and Golgotha from gulgalta (Ewald, §158c). The Septuagint rendering is correct, ὁ ἀποπομπαῖος; although in Lev_16:10 the rendering ἀποπομπή is also adopted, i.e., “averruncus, a fiend, or demon whom one drives away” (Ewald). We have not to think, however, of any demon whatever, who seduces men to wickedness in the form of an evil spirit, as the fallen angel Azazel is represented as doing in the Jewish writings (Book of Enoch 8:1; 10:10; 13:1ff.), like the terrible field Shibe, whom the Arabs of the peninsula of Sinai so much dread (Seetzen, i. pp. 273-4), but of the devil himself, the head of the fallen angels, who was afterwards called Satan; for no subordinate evil spirit could have been placed in antithesis to Jehovah as Azazel is here, but only the ruler or head of the kingdom of demons. The desert and desolate places are mentioned elsewhere as the abode of evil spirits (Isa_13:21; Isa_34:14; Mat_12:43; Luk_11:24; Rev_18:2). The desert, regarded as an image of death and desolation, corresponds to the nature of evil spirits, who fell away from the primary source of life, and in their hostility to God devastated the world, which was created good, and brought death and destruction in their train.
Let us compare with the opinion from Nathan Lawrence from Hoshanah Rabba:  The Azazel Goat is the scape goat or goat of departure. Spiritually this represents the entire removal of sin’s defilement from the Tabernacle and camp of Israel out into the wilderness. (Ps. 103:12—YHVH removes our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.) The Azazel goat is not Satan. Lev. 16:10 says that this goat “makes atonement for our sin.” It is blasphemy to say that Satan makes atonement for our sin. Only Yeshua did this, not Satan!
There is some difference of opinion as to the symbolic meaning of the Azazel Goat. Some say it is a picture of Satan who initially tempted man to sin or rebel against Elohim, and has been doing so ever since. Since he was the first sinner and rebel against Elohim and has constantly incited man in this sin and rebellion ever since, he must consequently bear the responsibility for his actions, which he will do when he is bound and thrown into the bottomless pit at the beginning of the millennium. The Azazel Goat being dismissed into the wilderness is a picture of this. On the other side, there are those who teach that the Azazel Goat is a picture of Yeshua who bore our sins upon himself and died alone in our place. Which view is correct? Well, both. Sort of...
The most important key to determining who this goat represents is found in Leviticus 16:10: But the goat, on which the lot fell for Azazel, shall be set alive before YHVH, to make atonement over him, to send him away for Azazel into the wilderness. Note the italicized portion. Who made atonement for our sins? Satan or Yeshua? Scripture does not reveal the devil as the redeemer of mankind. Only Yeshua was our atonement as Scripture reveals: Furthermore, the act of laying on of hands (Lev. 16:21) onto the Azazel Goat symbolizes the transference of sins from the guilty party (the children of Israel) to the innocent Azazel Goat. The innocent becomes the sin-bearer. Of course, who can deny that this is a perfect picture of Yeshua and not Satan!
Spiritually, the Azazel Goat represents the entire removal of sin’s defilement from the camp of Israel into the wilderness. In Psalms 103:12 Elohim removes our sins from us as far as the east is from the west. YHVH does this, not Satan!  In Leviticus 16:22 we read, “And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.” Throughout Scripture there are numerous references to Yeshua bearing our sins.
He “Judaism” say that offering was to be made to Satan, in order to appease him?
There are some questions we can ask which come to complete the view of Nathan Lawrence:
The Goat is a clean animal: Can it represent HaSatan?
There is also one question to ask which has been overlooked: Where is Azazel to be sent is it not into the wilderness?
Were not the children of Israel, during 40 years in the wilderness?   Do you know that the Torah is the shadow of things to come (Hebr. 10:1)?  What the wilderness represent? If you have read my “midrash” “One hundred twenty years”, you will know that the forty years in the wilderness are a picture of the Two thousand years from Messiah first coming until today for those following Yeshoshua HaMoschiach, exactly from the day the children left Ramses, until the day they entered the Promise Land. The wilderness was also a microcosm of the world today.  So now again we can turn back to the question, who is Azazel?  Was not יהושע through the eternal Spirit sent into the all world bringing salvation to those who believe in his Name? Like Azazel we know that יהושע is alive and seat at the right hand of the Father?  Keil and Delitzsch quote from Yeshayahu to explain that Azazel is HaSatan, but we know that before making conclusion we also must see the spiritual meaning of things. In Hebrew understanding animals in particulars reflect human beings’ characters and behaviours (as we read in the last parasha sh’mini with the examples from the Epistle of Barnabas). Clean animals for the children of light, unclean animals for “wicked”.   Azazel seems to be more the sacrifice send into the world (wilderness)to remove the sin of those scattered in the four corners of the earth (wilderness) and proclaim “sin has been removed and has been borne by יהושע”?
1Jn 2:2 and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 
Pe 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His body on (to) the timber (stake), so that we, having died to sins, might live unto righteousness1 – by whose stripes you were healed. Footnote: 1Rom. 6:2, 1 Peter 4:1-2. 
Moshe a shadow of Messiah was sent by Elohim to deliver the children of Israel (carnal man) from Mitzaryim, or Egypt, and so יהושע came to deliver us from our spiritual Mitzaryim, or Egypt (world system). Moshe brought the children of Israel into the wilderness and they spent forty years before entering the Promise Land. יהושע after having redeemed us from slavery brought us also into the wilderness (the world) in order to be refined and make like gold. Both under Moshe and from יהושע’s first coming many died because of rebellion, only a remnant will be saved!  
Isa 1:9 Unless יהוה of hosts had left to us a small remnant, we would have become like Soḏom, we would have been made like Amorah (Gomorrah).  
Isa 10:21 A remnant shall return, the remnant of Yaʽaqoḇ, to the Mighty Ěl.  
Isa 11:16 and there shall be a highway for the remnant of His people, those left from Ashshur, as it was for Yisra’ĕl in the day when he came up from the land of Mitsrayim.   
Isa 46:3 “Listen to Me, O house of Yaʽaqoḇ, and all the remnant of the house of Yisra’ĕl, who are borne from the belly, who are carried from the womb:  
Eze 6:8 “But I shall leave a remnant, in that some of you shall escape the sword among the gentiles (nations), when you are scattered throughout the lands.
Mic 5:7 and the remnant of Yaʽaqoḇ shall be in the midst of many peoples, as dew from יהוה, as showers on the grass, which do not wait for man nor delay for the sons of men. 
Rom 9:27 and Yeshayahu cries out on behalf of Yisra’ĕl, “Though the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved. 
Rev 12:17 and the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.
Verses 18-19……,and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. 19 and shall sprinkle of the blood……seven times; and cleanse it……from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
Heb 9:23 It was necessary, then, that the copies of the heavenly ones should be cleansed with these, but the heavenly ones themselves with better slaughter offerings than these.   Heb 9:24 For Messiah has not entered into a Set-apart Place made by hand – figures of the true – but into the heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of Elohim on our behalf,  Heb 9:25 not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters into the Set-apart Place year by year with blood not his own.  Heb 9:26 for if so, He would have had to suffer often, since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the offering of Himself.  Heb 9:27 and as it awaits men to die once, and after this the judgment,  Heb 9:28 so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to those waiting for Him, unto deliverance.
The earthly sacrifices were made for the remission of sins. Shaul says that it was also necessary to purify the heavenly things (Hebr.9:23). Sin affects the heavenly places and therefore the wrath of Elohim will fall upon the ungodly (Psalm 1:6, 34:21, Rev.14:15-20, Yoel 3:13. 
27…………….is brought outside the camp. And they shall burn their skins, and their flesh, and their dung with fire.  
Compare with:
Heb 13:11 For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the Set-apart Place by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.  Heb 13:12 and so יהושע also suffered outside the gate, to set apart the people with His own blood.  Heb 13:13 Let us, then, go to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
Another point came to my mind while reading again this year 2011; I give it as it come to my mind:
If we read carefully we will see the procedure commanded to Aahron concerning the two goats:
The first Bullock (Vayyiqra 16:14:20) must FIRST be sacrificed in order that the blood may be used for atonement
Lev 16:15  Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
Lev 16:16 and he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
Only after that Aaron the High Priest had made RECONCILIATION he went to take the second Goat to lay his hands on its head:
Lev 16:20 and when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
Lev 16:21  and Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
Now we can compare with Yehoshua work: 
Heb 9:3 and after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;   Heb 9:4  Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid roundabout with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
Heb 9:5 and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.   Heb 9:6 now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service.   Heb 9:7 but into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:  Heb 9:8 The Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:  Heb 9:9  Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;  Heb 9:10 which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.   Heb 9:11  But the Messiah being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;   Heb 9:12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.   Heb 9:13 for if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14  How much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to Elohim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim?

Verses 29-31.This is Yom Kippur (verse 29), “you shall afflict (Strong’s #6031 anah) your soul, and do now work at all”.    Fasting is recognized as action tot afflict the soul. On Yom Kippur throughout the world we join ourselves to fast as member of the body of Messiah.........
Psa 35:13 But I, when they were sick, I put on sackcloth; I humbled my being with fastings; and my prayer would return to my own bosom.  
Humbled: Strong’s #H6031 ענה ‛ânâh aw-naw'...........A primitive root (possibly rather identical with H6030 through the idea of looking down or browbeating); to depress literally or figuratively, transitively or intransitively (in various applications). (sing is by mistake for H6030.): - abase self, afflict (-ion, self), answer [by mistake for H6030], chasten self, deal hardly with, defile, exercise, force, gentleness, humble (self), hurt, ravish, sing [by mistake for H6030], speak [by mistake for H6030], submit self, weaken, X in any wise.
Isa 58:3 They say: “Why have we fasted, and you have not seen? Why have we afflicted (String’s #H6031 anah) our beings, and you took no note”?’ “Look, in the day of your fasting you find pleasure, and drive on all your laborers………..
In Yeshayahu 58. יהוה through the mouth of the prophet reject the fast of the people, because it is a fast of Hypocrisy (verse 1), in no case is that the Fast from Yom Kippur as taught by some, nullified by doing good to the poor (verses 6-7).........
Isa 58:4 behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.   The problem has been always been hypocrisy among the children of Israel, later in יהושע’s time we can read:  Mat 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you tithe the mint and the anise and the cumin,1 and have neglected the weightier matters of the Torah: the right-ruling and the compassion and the belief. These need to have been done, without neglecting the others.
Verse 34………this shall be for you a law forever……….
Compare:    Heb 9:26 for if so, He would have had to suffer often, since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the offering of Himself.
Lev 16:1 and יהוה spoke to Mosheh after the death of the two sons of Aharon, as they drew near before יהוה, and died.... Lev 16:34 “And this shall be for you a law forever, to make atonement for the children of Yisra’ĕl, for all their sins, once a year.” And he did as יהוה commanded Mosheh. 


    - Leviticus 17:1 | The Slaughtering of Animals
    - Leviticus 17:10 | Eating Blood Prohibited
Chapter 17: 


The law of the blood.  The slaughtering of a bull or a goat or lamb, must be done outside the camp and after that been brought to the door of the tent of meeting..This law is extended to the stranger (verse 10) that sojourned among the children of Israel, a sign that stranger could be accepted, if they also followed the Torah. It is amazing that today people refuse to join themselves to the Torah keepers seeking always excuse by misinterpreting the scriptures.  If somebody breaks the Torah, they shall be cut off…….
Cut off: Strong’s #H3772 karath; to destroy or consume. The reason is given verse 11……For the life is in the blood……it is the blood that makes atonement for the life ..And the children of Israel and the stranger shall not eat the blood (verse 12). The reason is clear: 
Life is in the blood
Blood is to make atonement.
This is pointing to יהושע who will give is Life by bringing His blood before the heavenly Altar, for the remission of our sins.
Rom 5:9 much more then, having now been declared right by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.  
Mat 26:28 “For this is my blood, that of the renewed covenant, which is shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.  
Eph 1:7 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of His favour,  
Eph 2:13 But now in Messiah יהושע you who once were far off (stranger) have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah.  
Col 1:14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins,   Col 1:20 and through Him to completely restore to favour all unto Himself, whether on earth or in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of His stake.  
It is amazing to see that today in many countries, blood is eaten by many people, they even call it “delicacy” “bloodwurst” (blood sausage), or even as I have seen in Asia, as a kind of soup (“dugo dugo”).  In my country in France bloods consume is popular among people.  The rules of the blood are very important for those turning back to the truth there are four requirements to begin to leave as redeemed people: 
Act 15:20 but that we write to them to abstain from the defilements of idols, and from whoring, and from what is strangled, and from blood.1 Footnote: 1See v.29. 
Act 15:29 that you abstain from what is offered to idols, and blood, and what is strangled, and whoring.1 If you keep yourselves from these, you shall do well. Be strong! Footnote: 1See v. 20.  To understand what Ya’acov (James) was saying in the Halacha (way of interpreting the Torah) coming upon the believers turning back to the truth, we must understand that it was these specifics sins from Ephraim which needed to be forsake in order to reverse the curse:  Hos 4:13 “They slaughter on the mountaintops, and burn incense on the hills, under oak and poplars and terebinth, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters commit whoring(1), and your brides commit adultery.   Hos 4:17 “Ephrayim is joined to idols(2), let him alone.
Hos 9:3 They shall not dwell in the land of יהוה, but Ephrayim shall return to Mitsrayim, and eat unclean food(3) in Ashshur.  
Eze 18:6 if he has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Yisra’ĕl, nor defiled his neighbour’s wife, nor comes near a woman during her uncleanness (4),
There is a very good “midrash” from Eddie Chemney who explains the “Reverse of the curse”.
Lev 17:1  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,...


 - Leviticus 18:1 | Sexual Relations

Verses 1-5. …..and you shall guard my commands and my right ruling which man does and live by them …
Shaul explaining that outside the Torah there is no righteousness quoting the Torah: 
Rom 10:5 For Mosheh writes about the righteousness which is of the Torah, “The man who does these shall live by them.”  
Which is by faith in the blood of Messiah יהושע. Sha’ul when contending with the Galatians concerning the “work of Torah” called “Ma’aseh HaTorah” writes: 
Gal 3:11 and that no one is declared right by Torah (oral Torah of the Pharisee) before Elohim is clear, for “The righteous shall live by belief.”   Gal 3:12 and the Torah is not of belief, but “The man who does them shall live by them.”  Ma’aseh HaTorah were rule called “takanot” established by the rabbis (Pharisee). 
Mat 15:3 But He answering, said to them, “Why do you also transgress the command of Elohim1 because of your tradition (takanot)?  Takanot as explained by Aviv Mordechai from Milenium 7000, are “canonized pharisaic takanot or traditions”........ Verse 5…….which a man does and lives by them. I am יהוה.  Compare with what יהושע answered to the man asking what to do to enter eternal life:
Mat 19:16 and see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good shall I do to have everlasting life?”
Mat 19:17 And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One – Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the commands.”1  It is amazing it seems that to keep the commands brings life?
Pro 6:23 for the command is a lamp, And the Torah a light1, And reproofs of discipline a way of life, Footnote: 1Ps. 119:105.
Verses 6-30…………….There is a list of ordinances given by יהוה to his people, to protect them from been cut off from among Israel.  Today we heard in the TV, news from Germany: “a man married his sister and they had four children, they make appeal to the European court to keep their marriage”. In Austria, a man had sex with his daughter during more then 30 Years and got 6 children from her.  Nobody is shock; people just take mention of it. Women have sex with animals and many enjoy watching such dirty perversion. There are no limits anymore, but יהוה tells His people “be you Qadosh for I am Qadosh”. Qadosh is to be Set apart from all this worldly abominations.  We have to choose either the way of יהוה and get life, following יהושע Messiah, or to follow the way of the world and be destroyed with the ungodly when יהוה will pour out His Wrath upon the nations. 
Verse 28….. ‘So let not the land vomit you out for defiling it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.  The nations that were before you! Do you remember, Kenites, Kenizittes, Hittites, Cana’anites, Perizittes, Jebuzittes, Girgashittes, Kadmonites, Rephaims, Amorites…….
These nations were descendants from Ham, and had many evil practice before יהוה, like, offering child sacrifices, cutting the flesh, whoring to their gods for the women, beside idolatry.  The land vomited out the nations because of defiling. 
Jer 9:19 “For a voice of wailing is heard from Tsiyon, ‘How we are ravaged! We are greatly ashamed, because we have forsaken the land, because we have been thrown out of our dwellings.’ ” ....
The Torah tells us that all this abominations are customs (traditions) among pagans (verse 30)….
Lev 18:30 therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am YHWH your Elohim.  Lev 18:1  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,...

HAFTORAH
       Amos 9:7-15, Yechezk’el 22:1-19, 
     1st Corint.6:9-17, Hebr.9:11-28

יהוה is contending with His people and compare them to the people of Kush, descendants from Ham the son of Noach who were immoral and idolaters. “All the sinners of my people are going to dye by the sword” (verse 10).
There exists a very common saying that put the blame on other when Yehovah’s people are punished by breaking the Torah. Do you think it is different today?  If we make enquiry, in the last 150 Years, millions upon millions of people have died of wars and plagues. One of the greatest plague happened with Justinian in the 6th century and run throughout the seventh and eighth centuries. It is said that this plague killed more than one hundred millions people (100 millions), alone in Constantinople 5000 people died daily! People call it “fatality”, what do you think is not יהוה our Elohim Omni potent and Omni present? Why then so many people die, if not because of what יהוה foretold? There are many verses spoken of the prophets who tell us that many will die and only a remnant will be saved. Today many people do not know the “fear of יהוה”, they boast about “been free from the law”, even among those pretending to have accepted the Torah, I have seen some who keep “half Shabbat” only some few hours during the Shabbat, although Shabbat is said to be from sunset to sunset. One day last twenty four hours, in Hebrew understanding the day start at sunset. Shabbat is the foundation or the First of our demonstration of Torah acceptance. If we break this first commands, how can we accept others?
Amos 9:12 …….all the gentiles (Goyim/nations) on whom my name is called……
Compare with:
Act 15:17 so that the remnant of mankind shall seek יהוה, even all the gentiles (nations) on whom My Name has been called, says יהוה who is doing all this,’
The Apostles were aware of the prophecies concerning returning Ephraim, today again people begin to see what יהוה is doing and some, the remnant on whom the Name of יהוה is, are turning back to the Torah.
Jas 1:1 Ya’acov, a servant of YHWH and of the Master Yehoshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 
Actually the word “gentile” is in Greek the word “ethnos” meaning “tribe, nation, and heathen, pagan). My question is: Are we pagan? Or are we Israelites? The answer is obvious that we are no more pagans, so please do not let any man call you “gentile” rather Israelite! 
Eph 2:12  That at that time (in the past) ye were without the Messiah, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without Elohim in the world:Eph 2:13 but now in the Messiah יהושע ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of the Messiah.Eph 2:14  For he (Messiah) is our peace, who hath made both one (Yehudah and Ephraim), and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;Eph 2:15  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances (takanot); for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.Eph 2:16 and that he might reconcile both unto YHWH in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Eph 2:17 and came and preached peace to you which were afar off (strangers, Ephraim), and to them that were nigh (Yehudin).
Eph 2:18 for through him (Messiah) we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph 2:19 Now therefore (because of what Messiah did) ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of YHWH;
1Pe 1:1 Kepha, an apostle of Yehuoshua the Messiah, to the strangers (see Eph;2:12) scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
יהוה through the prophet Yechezk’el is proclaiming the punishment on the House of Israel for all evil done.
Shaul follow, explaining the believers in Corinth that there is no change and that all evil doers will be also cut off, will not enter the Kingdom of Elohim.  Can you imagine, if you go to Christianity, today, nobody make any difference, a homosexual or effeminate can go in a congregation, pastors will not rebuke him, sin is rampant among Christians, because of the lack of Torah knowledge.
Amo 9:7 “Are you not like the people of Kush to Me, O children of Yisra’ĕl?” declares יהוה. “Did I not bring up Yisra’ĕl from the land of Mitsrayim, and the Philistines from Kaphtor, and Aram from Qir? Amo 9:8 “Look, the eyes of the Master יהוה are on the sinful reign1, and I shall destroy it from the face of the earth, except that, I do not completely destroy the house of Yaʽaqoḇ,” declares יהוה. Footnote: 1Isa. 34:2, Jer. 30:11, Jer. 46:28, Dan. 2:44, Zeph. 3:8, Hag. 2:22, Lk. 4:5-6.
Amo 9:9 “For look, I am commanding, and I shall sift the house of Yisra’ĕl among all the nations, as one sifts1 with a sieve, yet not a grain falls to the ground. Footnote: 1Or Shake - shakes. Amo 9:10 “All the sinners of My people are going to die by the sword, those who are saying, ‘Evil does not overtake us nor meet us.’
Amo 9:11 “In that day I shall raise up the booth of Dawiḏ which has fallen down. And I shall repair its breaches and raise up its ruins. And I shall build it as in the days of old (as it was under David’s reign),
Amo 9:12 so that they possess the remnant of Eḏom1(Adam), and all the goyim (nations) on whom My Name is called2,” declares יהוה who does this. Footnotes: 1The vowels which the Massoretes added later on makes this read Eḏom, but it was probably a mistake. It should be Aḏam, meaning mankind. 2Acts 15:16-17.
Amo 9:13 “Look, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “that the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed. And the mountains shall drip new wine, and all the hills melt.
Amo 9:14 “And I shall turn back the captivity of My people Yisra’ĕl. And they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them. And they shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them, and shall make gardens and eat their fruit.  Amo 9:15 “And I shall plant them on their own soil, and not uproot them any more from their own soil I have given them,” said יהוה your Elohim!  ……………
Eze 22:1 and the word of יהוה came to me, saying, ...
Eze 22:19 “Therefore thus said the Master יהוה, ‘Because all of you have become dross, therefore see, I am gathering you into the midst of Yerushalayim.  …………………………..
1Co 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the reign of Elohim? Do not be deceived. Neither those who whore, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,(Sha’ul making references to Vayyiqra/Lev.18-20)
1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor greedy of gain, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers shall inherit the reign of Elohim.1 Footnote: 1Gal. 5:19-21, Eph. 5:3-5.1

Co 6:11 and such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were set apart, but you were declared right in the Name of the Master יהושע and by the Spirit of our Elohim...1Co 6:17 and he who is joined to the Master is one spirit.  ……………..
Heb 9:11 But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters, through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,...
19:3.To fears his mother and Father is together with keeping the Shabbat. Here the sense of fear is reverence to mother and father. It seems that both mitzvoth (commands) work together, the one who fear his mother and father, that is who respect them, has them in high esteem will also keep the Shabbat!  In the deeper meaning of the “fear of the Mother and the Father” is directly connected with Sh’mot:Ex.20:12 a commandment with promise and with another verse which is very mystical: b’reshit/Gen. 1:26:
 Gen 1:26 and Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…………..

Gen 1:27 so Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and female created he them. ….It is not obvious in the literal text to see but in the sod the mystery of the Torah we can see it!  Eloim is a Father and He is also a Mother, we shouldn’t forget that unlike the belief in Christianity, Ruach (Spirit) is feminine in Hebrew! Knowing this should raise questions in our heart!  The teaching of Torah’s commands was upon the parents and therefore the reward was to the mother and father when their children kept the Shabbat:  Deu 6:6 “And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart, Deu 6:7 and you (both parents) shall impress (teach) them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up,
Verse 6 It is eaten the same day you slaughter it, and on the next day. And that which is left on the third day is burned with fire….Here we have a beautiful truth hidden behind the “p’shat” or literal level. First the peace offering was a “shelem” made of a clean animal according to the Torah (Vayyiqra chapter 3: 1-17). The animal had to be without blemish.  This animal pointed to יהושע who himself told us to be partaker of “eating his flesh” (Yochanan 6:53-56). Now you will ask, “yes I know that but why then eating on the same day and on the next day, but on the third day it become abominable and shall not be accepted”.
The answer should come to your mind, as we know that “one day is like thousand years” (2nd kefa 3:8, Psalm 90:4). This “shelem” or peace offering was to be eaten the same day, that is when Messiah came to be partaker of His life, then remain the “shelem” is still valid during the second day, that is the year two thousand, but on the third day, it is too late and those who think they will be accepted when already Messiah comes on the third day, it will not be acceptable. Can you see the meaning behind the letter?  The verse 8 tells us that those doing that shall be cut off from among the people. Can you see the consequences of “profaning the Set apart peace offering (shelem)? 
Verse 10……..do not glean your vineyard or gather every grape of your vineyard, leave them for the poor….May be it is not common to you in your country, but in France when I was around 15 in the 60ies, it was common practice to left grapes and others fruits or grain which were not harvested. After the regular harvest time, strangers or neighbors were allowed to go into the field and the vineyard to collect what was not harvested (a remaining from Torah tradition??). If you in historical records, you will learn that the Yehudin had a great influence in France, especially South-France where they were in high position during centuries and let the people a legacy!  Today with the mechanical harvest, nothing is left over and no man goes into the vineyard or into the field to collect the left over.  One of the consequences we can see is that since the time of mechanical harvest, fertilizer has been used more then before! This is amazing to me as we know that he who gives to the poor, יהוה will repay him! 
Pro 19:17 He who shows favour to the poor lends to יהוה, and He repays his deed.
This is why some do not worry to be generous because they know that the one that give reward is Elohim.
Verse 12. Do not swear falsely by my Name and so profane the Name of your Elohim.
To swear is the Hebrew word: Strong’s H7650 שׁבע shâba‛ shaw-bah'..........A primitive root; properly to be complete, but used only as a denominative from H7651; to seven oneself, that is, swear (as if by repeating a declaration seven times): - adjure, charge (by an oath, with an oath), feed to the full [by mistake for H7646], take an oath, X straitly, (cause to, make to) swear. 
Profane is the Hebrew word: Strong’s #H2490 חלל châlal khaw-lal'...........A primitive root (compare H2470); properly to bore, that is, (by implication) to wound, to dissolve; figuratively to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one’s word), to begin (as if by an opening-wedge); denominatively (from H2485) to play (the flute): - begin (X men began), defile, X break, defile, X eat (as common things), X first, X gather the grape thereof, X take inheritance, pipe, player on instruments, pollute, (cast as) profane (self), prostitute, slay (slain), sorrow, stain, wound.  From the verse one to verse 18, it is called: to love your neighbour as yourselves!  This mitzvoth or commands should be taught in congregations today, I have seen how children of Yehovah are hurt and feel hatred, against brethren because of the lack of understanding, and they don’t know that breaking this “mitzvoth” is “sin”!
Do not oppress your neighbour, ; Do not rob him pay him his wage the same day of his work,
Do not put a stumbling block before the blind,   Do not be partial to the poor or show favour to the rich,
Do not go slandering among your people,  Do not hate your brother in your heart, reprove your neighbour for certain and bear no sin because of him, Do not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people.  Seven commandments follow on another!  This is a long list of things pertaining to “love your neighbour as yourselves”.  It is easy to understand that to rob his neighbour is breaking the eighth commandment.  Do not lie (verse 11), do not deceive one another.
Today many people don’t even distinct between the truth and lie, because they don’t know what is the truth. If you look around you will see people lying with a nice smile in their face, just to look good they will use lie. Have you ever tried and ask יהוה to make it know to you when you lie, you may be surprised. We must accept correction of the Ruach HaQodesh and work for purity. This is possible when we earnestly put our love in serving יהוה in Spirit and in Truth. 


Slandering; Strong’s #H7400 רכיל râkîyl raw-keel'...........From H7402; a scandal monger (as travelling about): - slander, carry tales, talebearer.
Slandering goes with “gossip”. People love to carry stories from houses to houses. It seems that they don’t know that by doing this, they destroy love and bring suffering among those who are not strong to stand.  King David write: 
Psa 41:9 Even my own friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.......
This should not be, but unfortunately, even when people today are taught in the Torah, they still like to “gossip” and been “talebearers”. I hope and pray that יהוה will have mercy on us and bring restoration of the truth.  Reprove your neighbour and do not bear sin because of him!  How it is that people today, even among believers have no courage to speak to brethren when it is needed, how comes that leaders in the Assembly are not able to reproof those who do wrong, and so bring sin upon the all Assembly. They wilfully ignore the sin of their members and let the “system” go bringing strife and offending many. The command is to reproof our neighbour, and it is directly connected with the fact that if we don’t do that, we will bear his sin. We will be partaker of his sin.
Reproof is strong’s #H3198 יכח yâkach yaw-kakh'
A primitive root; to be right (that is, correct); reciprocally to argue; causatively to decide, justify or convict: - appoint, argue, chasten, convince, correct (-ion), days man, dispute, judge, maintain, plead, reason (together), rebuke, reprove (-r), surely, in any wise........

Do you know what יהושע says concerning rebuking his brother?
Mat 5:39 but I say to you, do not resist the wicked. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also...................
Christianity and Roman Catholic teach that if somebody gives you a “blow” on one side you shall be so generous as to present your other side to him!  Do you think it is the right meaning?  In Hebrew thoughts it has nothing to do with beating somebody, but with correcting somebody when one is doing wrong. The reaction of the one who is corrected is to be ready to receive another correction.
Pro 24:28 do not witness against your neighbour without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.  Pro 24:29 Do not say, “Let me do to him as he did to me; I repay each according to his work.”.
You can see it is with “lips” and not with hands or else.  Right story or false story, this does not change the fact of gossiping: 
Pro 18:8 The wordsH1697 of a talebearerH5372 are as wounds,H3859 and theyH1992 go downH3381 into the innermost partsH2315 of the belly.H990
Pro 20:19 He that goeth aboutH1980 as a talebearerH7400 revealethH1540 secrets:H5475 therefore meddleH6148 notH3808 with him that flatterethH6601 with his lips.H8193
Pro 26:20 Where noH657 woodH6086 is, there the fireH784 goeth out:H3518 so where there is noH369 talebearer,H5372 the strifeH4066 ceaseth.H8367
Pro 26:22 The wordsH1697 of a talebearerH5372 are as wounds,H3859 and theyH1992 go downH3381 into the innermost partsH2315 of the belly.H990
I have been in many places, unfortunately, many times it is to meet talebearers. Myself I was also confronted with this evil sin, until יהוה corrected me, and make me stop.  Brethren let us stop and think of the damage we can bring in the body of Messiah.
Eph 4:31 Let allG3956 bitterness,G4088 andG2532 wrath,G2372 andG2532 anger,G3709 andG2532 clamour,G2906 andG2532 evil speaking,G988 be put awayG142 fromG575 you,G5216 withG4862 allG3956 malice:G2549

When people speak evil or go as talebearer it is because of their heart. They are of the evil one. We should read what יהושע says in this parable: 
Mat 13:24 another parable He put before them, saying, “The reign of the heavens has become like a man who sowed good seed in his field, ...
Mat 13:30 ‘Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I shall say to the reapers, “First gather the darnel and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my granary.” ’ ”
To understand this parable, we must know what a “darnel” or “tare” looks like. The tare or darnel is an evil grass growing wild in the field. They look like wheat and in the beginning you cannot make a difference between darnel or tare and wheat. Only at the Harvest time you can discern the head of the wheat full of corn while the darnel or the tare looks “fake”.  If we understand this parable we will understand that until the harvest, that is the time when Messiah יהושע will come to establish יהוה’s Kingdom, there will be darnel or tare among wheat, in other words, there will be “fake brethren” among us. .... If we have been talebearer as I said I did before, it is not too late, it takes repentance, if possible to acknowledge to the one we did wrong and ask for forgiveness and train ourselves to be a doer of the word.
14. …….putting a stumbling block before a blind……
Deu 27:18 ‘Cursed is he who misleads the blind in the way.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amĕn!’
Who is the blind?
Luk 4:18 “The Spirit of יהוה is upon Me,1 because He has anointed Me to bring the Good News to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send away crushed ones with a release, Footnote: 1Isa. 61:1-3……
Here it is not a question of healing, it is written “recovery to the blind”!
Luk 6:39 and He spoke a parable to them, “Is a blind able to lead a blind? Shall they not both fall into a pit?
Joh 9:40 and those of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind, too?” Joh 9:41 יהושע said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, ‘We see,’ therefore your sin remains. …………….
Again we see that the blindness here refers to the attitude of the heart .  …..
Rom 2:17 See, you are called a Yehuḏite, and rest on the Torah, and make your boast in Elohim, ; Rom 2:18 and know the desire of Elohim, and approve what is superior, being instructed out of the Torah,Rom 2:19 and are trusting that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, .................
To put stumbling block happen today with all these false pastors who give doctrines of demons to the sheep leading them in the way of unrighteousness, following the anti-messiah. 
You shall not hate. There is need of repentance bad attitudes come from the heart........:
Verse 19. Do not let your livestock mate with another kind. Do not sow your field with mixed seed. And do not put a garment woven of two sorts of thread upon you.
This verse needs explanation. Once again it is literal for spiritual. I know at this time and even today it is practiced, but the deeper meaning in the “sod” is more than what we read. Shaul gives us the understanding: 
1Co 15:33 Do not be led astray, “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 2Co 6:14 Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness?
The Torah give a natural command with livestock from other kind, mixed seed in the field and garments woven of mixed thread, to point to the spiritual relationship between believers and unbelievers. A yoke forced animals to walk together and so it should be understood with unbelievers, to agree with them in their manners of life and not after the Torah! 
23-25. When you come into the land…..and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall reckon their fruit as uncircumcised. For three years…..in the fourth year all its fruit is set-apart – praises to יהוה; in the fifth year you eat its fruit,
I have seen in France also the planting of trees which have not been harvested during the first years. I think this came from all “Jews” living among us in France. Fruits in the first years have no good taste and the trees do not produce so much fruits. If they are left after three years they begin to multiply and the quality of the fruits become more and more appreciated. In the fifth year, you may think how was it possible?  

Josephus in his book “Antiquities of the Jews” explain: 
Book IV Chapter 8, 19. He that plants a piece of land, the trees of which produce fruits before the fourth year, is not to bring thence any first-fruits to God, nor is he to make use of that fruit himself, for it is not produced in its proper season; for when nature has a force put upon her at an unseasonable time, the fruit is not proper for God, nor for the master's use; but let the owner gather all that is grown on the fourth car, for then it is in its proper season. And let him that has gathered it carry it to the holy city, and spend that, together with the tithe of his other fruits, in feasting with his friends, with the orphans, and the widows. But on the fifth year the fruit is his own, and he may use it as he pleases.
Where is here the spiritual aspect?
Questions: How long where the disciple following Messiah, was it not three years and the half of the fourth?  Is it not in during the fourth year that the fruits become Set apart, and in the fifth that the fruits are eaten? Is not a tree recognized by its fruits?  Can you see that it was the time needed for the disciple to become mature and acceptable to Aba יהוה! How it is with you, how long are you planted in the courtyard of Elohim, are you now in the fourth year and Set apart, or even in the fifth and bring fruits which are pleasing?........
26 Horoscope. יהוה do not want his children to be like pagans who search the stars to know what is going on in their life, but as it is written: “the just shall live by his faith, his trust in his Elohim”.
Do not eat meat with the blood Do not practise divination or magic. Here we see the difference, Keil and Delitzch stretch out that it is not a mere repetition, but to make also clear that meat is to be eaten without blood. If you came to France, people like to go in restaurants to eat meat called “blue” this mean almost not cocked, red with blood in it, especially when it is bull or cow meat or even unclean horse meat.
Divination and Magic are pagans practice known in many countries all around the world. This is the world of darkness, where demons play with people.  Keil and Delitzsch go on explaining these practices:
They were also “to practise no kind of incantations.” נִחֵשׁ: from נָחַשׁ to whisper (see Gen_44:5), or, according to some, a denom. verb from נָחָשׁ a serpent; literally, to prophesy from observing snakes, then to prophesy from auguries generally, augurari. עֹונֵן a denom. verb, not from עָנָן a cloud, with the signification to prophesy from the motion of the clouds, of which there is not the slightest historical trace in Hebrew; but, as the Rabbins maintain, from עַיִן an eye, literally, to ogle, then to bewitch with an evil eye
Lev 19:27 ‘Do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of your beard.  Lev_19:27 from Keil and Delitzsch.  “Ye shall not round the border of your head:” i.e., not cut the hair in a circle from one temple to the other, as some of the Arab tribes did, according to Herodotus (3, 8), in honour of their god Ὀροτάλ, whom he identifies with the Dionysos of the Greeks. In Jer_9:25; Jer_25:23; Jer_49:32, the persons who did this are called פֵאָה קְצוּצֵי, round-cropped, from their peculiar tonsure. “Neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard,” sc., by cutting it off (cf. Lev_21:5), which Pliny reports some of the Arabs to have done, barba abraditur, praeterquam in superiore labro, aliis et haec intonsa, whereas the modern Arabs either wear a short moustache, or shave off the beard altogether (Niebuhr, Arab. p. 68)......
28. do not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor put tattoo marks on you. I am יהוה.   Once again these were pagan traditions from Babylon and are still seen in some countries today when people cut their own flesh at the dead of their relatives.  Keil and Delitzsch give us more details:  The first refers to passionate outbursts of mourning, common among the excitable nations of the East, particularly in the southern parts, and to the custom of scratching the arms, hands, and face (Deu_14:1), which is said to have prevailed among the Babylonians and Armenians (Cyrop. iii. 1, 13, iii. 3, 67), the Scythians (Herod. 4, 71), and even the ancient Romans (cf. M. Geier de Ebraeor. luctu, c. 10), and to be still practised by the Arabs (Arvieux Beduinen, p. 153), the Persians (Iran) (Morier Zweite Reise, p. 189), and the Abyssinians of the present day, and which apparently held its ground among the Israelites notwithstanding the prohibition (cf. Jer_16:6; Jer_41:5; Jer_47:5), - as well as to the custom,  29. Do not profane your daughter by making her a whore,........
The Hebrew word “zanah” indicate the falling to adultery remember that Balam will teach Balak how to make the children of Israel to fall.  31. Do not turn to mediums, and do not seek after spiritist…….
Here it is about necromancy (i.e.spirit of the glass, turning table, reading in the ashes……), to search contact with the dead and invocations of spirits. Today it is rampant in modern countries, if you open a news paper you will found advertising from many people, saying that they can come in contact with the dead and tell the future. This is by work of darkness and יהוה forbid His children to practice it because it defiles the one who do it.
Act 16:16 And it came to be, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of Puthon, did meet us, who brought her masters much profit by foretelling.   Act 16:17 Having followed Sha’ul and us, she cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High Elohim, who proclaim to us the way of deliverance.” Act 16:18 and she was doing this for many days. But Sha’ul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the Name of יהושע Messiah to come out of her.” And it came out that same hour. And so the woman lost her power!........
32. ‘Rise up before the grey-headed……..
Today it is in vain that people will move to make place for an older man in the bus or the train, young generation do not care anymore. I remember when I was a young boy, my father taught us how to behave with elder people, and no bad report was to be heard in our house. Today it is sad to see that seldom young people will show respect for elder people. 
1Ti 5:1 RebukeG1969 notG3361 an elder,G4245 butG235 intreatG3870 him asG5613 a father;G3962 and the younger menG3501 asG5613 brethren;G80 .......
34. ‘Let the stranger who dwells among you be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself………….
The stranger were living among the Children of Israel were to be considered like native. Stranger is the Hebrew word “ger”, a foreigner, an alien. Unfortunately, even today, when Israelites or Jews are confronted with “ger” they keep distance from others and so cannot fulfil what was expected from Elohim: To be light unto others. How it is with us are we light to other and are we loving those strangers who come to us? 
35-36. Read:  Pro 11:1 A falseH4820 balanceH3976 is abominationH8441 to  יהוה:H3068 but a justH8003 weightH68 is his delight.H7522
Deu 25:13 “You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. 
And in the Brit Chadasha it was explain of Ya’acov: 
Jas 2:2 for if there should come into your meeting a man with gold rings, in a splendid robe, and there should also come in a poor one dressed in rags, Jas 2:3 and you pay attention to the one wearing the splendid robe and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor one, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here by my feet,”
Jas 2:4 have you not discriminated among yourselves, and become judges with wicked thoughts?
In this chapter we find seven times “I am YHWH your Elohim” and seven times ‘I am YHWH”. This is after יהוה say to Moshe verse 2 “speak unto the children of Israel and say to them , you shall be Qadosh (set apart) for I YHWH  your Elohim am Qadosh.  This is a very strong command from יהוה who teach His people how to be Qadosh. We should take this chapter to our heart and pray over it again and again, to become what our heavenly Father wants us to be, read what Shaul write the Corinthians: 
1Co 9:24 Do you not know that those who run in a race indeed all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to obtain it (the price). 1Co 9:25 and everyone who competes controls himself in every way. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we for an incorruptible crown.
1Co 9:26 Therefore I run accordingly, not with uncertainty. Thus I fight, not as one who beats the air.
1Co 9:27 But I treat my body severely and make it my slave, so that when I have proclaimed to others, I myself might be rejected. .............
This is a very serious matter, so my brothers and sisters let us be like Shaul running the race in order to obtain the prize..............
Lev 19:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,.... Lev 19:37 ‘And you shall guard all My laws and all My right-rulings, and do them. I am יהוה.’ ”
Chapter 20.: 1-7.Here we find the Hebrew mind for adultery, to offer offspring to moloch, a concept often misunderstood. The fact to go to other “g-ds” is also adultery this will bring יהוה to give a bill of divorce to the House of Israel (Yrmeyahu 3:8).
It is amazing how people look only to the literal adultery of a man with a woman, while they follow their own way, being adulterer having rejected the Covenant of יהוה which is the Torah.  To turn to medium and to spiritists is also spiritual adultery for it is to rely on the power of what is forbidden by Elohim.  9.To curse Mother and Father is sin that bring death to somebody.  We have in this chapter sins with heavy consequences: to commit adultery with a married woman brought death, a man who lies with the woman of His Father
Keil and Delitzsch write:  The cursing of parents was a capital crime (see at Lev_17:4, and for the plural דָּמָיו Exo_22:1 and Gen_4:10), which was to return upon the doer of it, according to Gen_9:6. The same punishment was to be inflicted upon adultery (Lev_20:10, cf. Lev_18:20), carnal intercourse with a father's wife (Lev_20:11, cf. Lev_18:7-8) or with a daughter-in-law (Lev_20:12, cf. Lev_18:17), sodomy (Lev_20:13, cf. Lev_18:22), sexual intercourse with a mother and her daughter, in which case the punishment was to be heightened by the burning of the criminals when put to death (Lev_20:14, cf. Lev_18:17), lying with a beast (Lev_20:15, Lev_20:16, cf. Lev_18:23), sexual intercourse with a half-sister (Lev_20:17, cf. Lev_18:9 and Lev_18:11), and lying with a menstruous woman (Lev_20:18, cf. Lev_18:19). The punishment of death, which was to be inflicted in all these cases upon both the criminals, and also upon the beast that had been abused (Lev_20:15, Lev_20:16), was to be by stoning, according to Lev_20:2, Lev_20:27, and Deu_22:21.; and by the burning (Lev_20:14) we are not to understand death by fire, or burning alive, but, as we may clearly see from Jos_7:15 and Jos_7:25, burning the corpse after death. This was also the case in Lev_21:9 and Gen_38:24.
Sodomy verse 13. It is here spoken of homosexual. It is now rampant in the all world and even promoted in the US and other western countries (including France since 2014). It goes so far that some school teaches how to behave when two boys have intercourse. The wrath of Elohim will come soon over the nations. 
11-22. יהוה gives again statutes and judgments to His children, verse 23 יהוה explain why He will give the Land. 24 The Land that flows with milk and honey (sweetness), that is the Torah and the benefit of it (Milk):
Psa 19:10 More desirable than gold (that is the Torah), Than much fine gold; And sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
Isa 28:9 whom would He teach knowledge? And whom would He make to understand the message? Those weaned from milk (Torah), those taken from the breasts!
1Pe 2:2 as newborn babes, desire the unadulterated milk (Torah) of the Word, in order that you grow by it,
Heb 5:12 for indeed, although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first elements of the Words (Torah) of Elohim. And you have become such as need milk and not solid food.
Pro 24:13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, And the honeycomb, sweet to your taste;
25. The law of clean and unclean makes the difference between יהוה’s people and the nations. The spiritual approach is seen in the behaviour of those eating everything. They cannot discern, even Christians their mind is blinded by the “g-d” of this world. We shall pray for those who are still in bondage, that יהוה open their eye to the truth (Torah). 

Lev 20:1  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,... Lev 20:27 ‘And a man or a woman in whom there is a medium, or who are spiritists, shall certainly be put to death, they are to stone them with stones. Their blood is upon them.’ ” 

HAFTORAH
Yesha’Yahu 66:1-24,  Yechezk’el 20:2-20                             1st Kefa 1:13-16     

The Haftorah teaches us by the mouth of the prophet, יהוה’s intention toward His people. Yeshayahu brings the greatness of יהוה in front and His mercy “I look on him who is poor and bruised of spirit and who tremble at my word”.  יהוה has a promise for those who fear His name and keep His Torah, the day will come when He will punish the evil doer and give reward to those who are walking in the Torah.  The process is long but it will come to pass, so far that because of sin, יהוה will make the earth new, he will renew heaven and earth because of the love He has for His people.  

Isa 66:1 Thus said יהוה, “The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool. Where is this house that you build for Me? And where is this place of My rest?.... 
Isa 66:24 “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me1. For their worm shall not die, and their fire not be quenched. And they shall be repulsive to all flesh!” Footnote: 1See 24:6, 34:2-3, Ps. 110:6, Jer. 25:33.
Eze 20:2 And the word of יהוה came to me, saying,...Eze 20:20 ‘And set apart My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, to know that I am יהוה your Elohim.’
1Pe 1:13 Therefore, having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, set your expectation perfectly upon the favour that is to be brought to you at the revelation of יהושע Messiah, 1Pe 1:14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance, 1Pe 1:15 instead, as the One who called you is set-apart, so you also should become set-apart in all behaviour, 1Pe 1:16 because it has been written, “Be set-apart, for I am set-apart.”…..
May יהוה bless you and keep you through Messiah יהושע as you keep the way of the Torah!
