PARASHA PINCHAH



When we go into details, sometime we see or read things which seems to be inaccurate, so the question is, it is really so, because many destructor of the truth like to point to this seemingly difference trying to nullify the scriptures accuracy?
We will see in our today's "parasha" that in fact it looks that the records are not always the same we will try to reconcile the scriptures and see that יהוה is not a man and has not given us a spirit of confusion.
We read in the last "parasha Balak":
Num 25:9 and those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.
Sha’ul says:
1Co 10:8 Neither should we commit whoring, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell,
Where is the error?
Jamieson, Fausset, Brown have well read and saw that Moshe added the one who died in:
Num 25:5 and Mosheh said to the judges of Yisra’ĕl, “Each one of you slay his men who were joined to Baʽal Peʽor.
They were one thousand who died by the sword, the other twenty three thousand died of the plague (25:8). So there is no more error or confusion!

Righteousness is a matter of the heart. We have already seen many times that righteousness is directly connected to the Torah:
Isa 51:7 “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My Torah: do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their reviling.
Deu 6:25and it is righteousness for us when we guard to do all this command before יהוה our Elohim, as He has commanded us.’
Righteousness: Strong's #H6664 צדק tsedeq tseh'-dek
From H6663; the right (natural, moral or legal); also (abstractly) equity or (figuratively) prosperity: -  X even, (X that which is altogether) just (-ice), ([un-]) right (-eous) (cause, -ly, -ness).
H6663 tsâdaq tsaw-dak'
A primitive root; to be (causatively make) right (in a moral or forensic sense): - cleanse, clear self, (be, do) just (-ice, -ify, -ify self), (be, turn to) righteous (-ness).
The Hebrew word for "righteousess" is the word "Tzedeq" from the word "Tzadaq". We can now see something interesting concerning name and their meaning and how they relate to the person:
Gen 14:18 and MelchizedeqkH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 brought forthH3318 breadH3899 and wine:H3196 and heH1931 was the priestH3548 of the most highH5945 God.H410 
Mechizedek is a compounded name:
Strong's H4442 מלכּי־צדק malkîy-tsedeq mal-kee-tseh'-dek
From H4428 and H6664; king of right; Malki-Tsedek, an early king in Palestine: - Melchizedek.
H4428melek meh'-lek From H4427; a king: - king, royal.
H6664 tsedeq tseh'-dek
From H6663; the right (natural, moral or legal); also (abstractly) equity or (figuratively) prosperity: -  X even, (X that which is altogether) just (-ice), ([un-]) right (-eous) (cause, -ly, -ness).
Who was called King, and just?
First we have seen that Abraham met Melkitezdek and gave him the tenth from his spoil. For those having read the book of Yasher, they know that this Melkitezdek was Shem the son of Noach!
Why did Abraham gave a tenth (not tithe) of all the spoil to Melkitezdek! This was a figure of things to come with Messiah Yeshua who has been made Priest after the order of Melkitezdek been a Yehudin, first born of yoseph and Myriam;
We found again Melkitezdek as a priestly order in the book of Hebrew:
Heb 7:15 and it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melkitezdek there ariseth another priest,
Heb 7:16 who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Heb 7:16 who has become, not according to the Torah of fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,
Heb 7:17 for He does witness, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melkitseḏeq.”
This was the fulfilment of:
Psa 110:1 YHWH said unto my Master, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. (1Co 15:25 for he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet).
 Psa 110:2 YHWH shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Psa 110:3 thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Psa 110:4 YHWH hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Psa 110:5 YHWH at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
Psa 110:6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
Psa 110:7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

The King:
Mat 27:37 And they put up over His head the written charge against Him: THIS IS יהושע, THE KING OF THE YEHUḎIM (Yeshua son of David according to the flesh Rom.1:3)
Rev 19:16 and he hath on his garment and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS AND MASTER of MASTERS.
The Just:
Act 7:52 WhichG5101 of theG3588 prophetsG4396 have notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecuted?G1377 andG2532 they have slainG615 them which shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 theG3588 comingG1660 of theG3588 Just One;G1342 of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderers:G5406 
Just: Strong's #G1342 dikaios dik'-ah-yos
From G1349; equitable (in character or act); by implication innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively): - just, meet, right (-eous).
G1349 Dikē dee'-kay Probably from G1166; right (as self evident), that is, justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution): - judgment, punish, vengeance.
Is it not יהוה the King of Righteousness?
Throughout the scriptures we see Justice been directly connected with the Torah, by opposition all that comes outside the scripture can be called "unjust" or "without righteousness" it is called "lawlesness, iniquity"! Can you see how important is it to look at the word's meaning?
Pinchah another forerunner of Messiah יהושע?
Pinchah son of El'azar, son of Aharon......
Pinehas Strong's #H63732 פּינחס pîynechâs pee-nekh-aws'
Apparently from H6310 and a variation of H5175; mouth of a serpent; Pinechas, the name of three Israelites: - Phinehas.
BDB Definition:
Phinehas = “mouth of brass”
Brown-Driver Briggs give a different interpretation, brass is directly connected with impurity and judgment!
Phinehas was a Levite and to understand why he was so praised of Elohim we must look at his action. Moshe writes:
Num 25:11 Phinehas,H6372 the sonH1121 of Eleazar,H499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priest,H3548 hath turned my wrath awayH7725 (H853) H2534 fromH4480 H5921 the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 while he was zealousH7065 for my sakeH854 H7068 amongH8432 them, that I consumedH3615 notH3808 (H853) the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in my jealousy.H7068 
The English translation do not help to see the meaning of the word "zealous", which is used in another place but first of all let us see the Hebrew word for "zealous"
Strong's: H7065 קנא qânâ' kaw-naw'
A primitive root; to be (causatively make) zealous, that is, (in a bad sense) jealous or envious: -  (be) envy (-ious), be (move to, provoke to) jealous (-y), X very, (be) zeal (-ous)
Now let us look at another verse:
Exo 20:5  Thou shalt notH3808 bow down thyselfH7812 to them, norH3808 serveH5647 them: forH3588 IH595 יהוה H3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 God,H410 visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 uponH5921 the childrenH1121 untoH5921 the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me;
Strong's #H7067 קנּא qannâ' kan-naw' From H7065; jealous: - jealous. Compare H7072.
We see that the root is the word used in our "parsha Pinehas" H7065 "qana".
The Hebrew word “qana, qanna” (jealous) carry the idea of a hen watching over her chicks who are under her wings!
Pinehas was a man whose heart was after יהוה he didn't act on his own but was eager to serve according to what יהוה was expecting from a Levite, namely "Justice".
.........and made atonement for the children of Israel (verse 13).
Pinehas action was considered as "atonement"! Do you remember the Hebrew word for atonement is the word "kaphar" used in the "parsha Noach" when יהוה commanded him to build the Ark and to "pitch", "kaphar" the ark within and without, the first hint to the coming atonement which will be done by our Master יהושע.
Do you know why our brethren from Yehudah do not accept יהושע as "Messiah"?
They cannot see him in the Tanak:
            First they didn’t believe that Yeshua wasElohim’ Son !!
            Secondly they will tell you that יהושע is not revealed in the TaNak. Of course, it is             difficult for anybody to see יהושע in the literal approach; we need to go in the             other levels of interpretation as it is with Yehoshua son of Nun and many other             places like with the life of Yoseph son of Ya’acov, or in many metaphor like Yoseph at the righ hand of Pharaoh or Ya’acov be perfected by the challenges of life and much more in the sod. This explains why many people from the world take the Tanak as a simple book!

I know that in order to study, it takes time and patience, because many details are hidden in words or missed because of the translation into another language (English, French, Tagalog, German) or others...which do not have words to give accurately meaning).
Many quarrels have risen among believers just because of this false translation, one who want to teach other should also know what Ya'acov says:
Jas 3:1 not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.
It's not a question of "playing the teacher" for Ya'acov explain that a greater judgment" is waiting those in this position.
The Greek word is Strong's #G1320 didaskalos did-as'-kal-o From G1321; an instructor (generally or specifically): - doctor, master, teacher.
Mat 23:8 ButG1161 be notG3361 yeG5210 calledG2564 Rabbi:G4461 forG1063 oneG1520 isG2076 yourG5216 Master,G2519 even Messiah;G5547 andG1161 allG3956 yeG5210 areG2075 brethren.G80 
Rabbi is a title “my teacher”  here is another Greek word, Strong's #G2519 kathēgētēs,
meaning "guide" with the idea of “rav” "teacher".
I will now quote some thoughts from Tovia from "Yashanet.com". Pinchas is one of the few "parasha" named after an individual, it makes a point to mention Pinchah's lineage back to Aharon. Pinchah was not a priest although been a Levite the reason is that he was born before the priestly assignment took effect. As he was not "born to be priest" he could not be considered as such one. However Elohim gave Pinchah the "Covenant of peace" and brought him and his descendants into the priesthood forever.
Tovia ask: How does Elohim's action in this case relate to the written Torah?
As I was thinking on this, it came to my mind the first commandment: "I am יהוה!" He alone decides and does. He can change things and we can see also how today the "Qadosh ones" (saints) are called "Priest" although they are not descendants of Levi. Today's priesthood is through Messiah יהושע after the order of Melkitzedek.
Verse 11 it is written that Pinchah turned away the wrath of Elohim from the children of Israel. In Yochanan 2:14-17, we see how יהושע entered the Temple and cleansed it from all these business' makers.
Pinchas was acting after Elohim's heart. David writes in Psalm 69:9:
 Psa 69:9 ForH3588 the zealH7068 of thine houseH1004 hath eaten me up;H398 and the reproachesH2781 of them that reproachedH2778 thee are fallenH5307 uponH5921 me.
It is again Strong's #H7068 zeal: quinah, jealousy which is used.
Yochanan writing in chapter 2:14-17 when יהושע entered the Temple says:
Joh 2:17  AndG1161 hisG846 disciplesG3101 rememberedG3415 thatG3754 it wasG2076 written,G1125 TheG3588 zealG2205 of thineG4675 houseG3624 hath eaten me up.G2719 G3165 
יהוה has always zealous (jealous) people who are bold enough to act in divers actions following יהוה' s heart.
It is interesting to see that Pinchah received the priesthood after this action!
Question: When does יהושע received the priesthood, by birth, inheritance, or by doing what he was called to do?
Php 2:8 and having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.
Php 2:9 Elohim, therefore (because of that), has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name,
Heb 5:8 though being a Son, He learned obedience by what He suffered.
Heb 5:9 and having been perfected, He became the Causer of everlasting deliverance to all those obeying Him,
Heb 5:10 having been designated by Elohim a High Priest “according to the order of Melkitseḏeq,”
The use of the verb "he became" demonstrate that יהושע was proclaimed High Priest due to his obedience and not by birth!
Tovias goes on writing Pinchah was zealous in his action. His intention was solely "for the sake of heaven", he didn't fear to do it in public's view. It would appear that he "judge" the situation correctly, and placed his own spiritual and material welfare by side in order to carry out Elohim's will: His Torah!
Tovia asks: compare Pinchah's judging correctly with יהושע 's teaching from the gospel, who says "by which you judge, you will be judge". Elohim is said to both punish and reward people "measure for measure" in Hebrew called "midah k'neged midah". Pincha's judgment and action result in being given the "covenant of peace" by Elohim. How is this "measure for measure"?
Compare Pincha's action to those of Shimon and Levi when they killed the men of shechem after they sister Dinah had been abused (B'reshit/Genesis 34:1) and were harshly rebuked by their father Ya'acov for their action.
Why is Pinchah praised for killing and Shimon and Levi rebuked?
If we look carefully we see that actions are not always the same. All depends on the intention of the heart. Shimon and Levi were angry, not zealous and didn't take Ya'acov counsel in consideration (the men from Schechem should circumcise) before killing the men they followed their own heart, although their father Ya'acov was looking for peace.
יהוה reward them another way during their blessing in B'reshit 49:
            Shimon could not take the place of the First born removed from Reuben
            Levi share his blessing of the First born with Ephraim
I come back to Tovias who ask: What do the accounts of Pinchah, Shimon, Levi, Korah teach us about examining our motive according to Elohim's Torah? Compare this to the words from the "Brit Chadasha" in Ya'acov (James) 1:25:
Jas 1:25 But he that looked into the perfect Torah, that of freedom,1 and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing of the Torah. Footnote: 1See 2:12.
Once again it is amazing how people from other denomination, Christians (all), Roman Catholics, fight to defend doctrines of demons, proclaiming to be "free from the law".
Does Elohim change because יהושע came? Read Badmidbar (Number) 23:19, Malachi 3:6, Romans 11:29, Ya'acov 1:17.
Tovias explains the Hebrew word "Shalom" is more than the English word "peace", it is derived from the root word "shalem" meaning "whole, complete", to have "wholeness" (i.e. true shalom) that which divide must be removed. Thus peace is an active state and not passive.
Sometime it requires an act of violence to achieve the goal. Compare this entire historical scenario to the judgement found in the book of Revelation, which at the end brings Elohim's great and final Shalom. Following this comparison we read in Revelation 7:9,14:
Rev 7:9 After this I looked and saw a great crowd which no one was able to count, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands,
Rev 7:14 And I said to him, “Master, you know.” And he said to me, “These are those coming out of the great distress, having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
This is very interesting to see the connection with the verses 4-8 from the same chapter, were two tribes are missing, namely, Dan and Ephraim (see my midrash "can we find Dan and Ephraim")

25:14.....Zimri son of Salu........

                "Zimri" Strong's #H2174 זמרי zimrîy zim-ree'

From H2167; musical; Zimri, the name of five Israelites, and of an Arabian tribe: - Zimri.
25:15.And the nameH8034 of the MidianitishH4084 womanH802 that was slainH5221 was Cozbi,H3579 
"Cozbi" Strong's #G3579 כּזבּי kozbîy koz-bee' From H3576; false; Cozbi, a Midianitess: - Cozbi.
H3576kâzab kaw-zab' A primitive root; to lie (that is, deceive), literally or figuratively: - fail, (be found a, make a) liar, lie, lying, be in vain.

We could say: the "music" (Zimri) of the Israelite, was "a lie, to deceive" and in "vain" among the children of Israel.
Don't think it is different today, we find those among the assemblies who are "jealous" for יהוה and are called by brethren: "too straight" because like Pinchah they are eager to follow the Torah's instruction!
They keep the Shabbat "Qadosh" (1) not doing their own way,(2) not finding their own pleasure,(3) not speaking their own word, calling the Shabbat a delight! (Yeshayahu 58:13).
This attitude is for many brethren disturbing, because it implies "discipline", not travelling during Shabbat, going from sunset to sunset..... In order to pass by the Torah, many of those returning to the Torah from among the nations, find many excuses, of course which are not Torah based, but come from man's carnal nature:
Rom 8:7 becauseG1360 theG3588 carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 God:G2316 forG1063 it is not subjectG5293 G3756 to theG3588 TorahG3551 of God,G2316 neitherG3761 indeedG1063 canG1410 be.
Rom 8:7 Because the mind of the flesh is enmity towards Elohim, for it does not subject itself1 to the Torah of Elohim2, neither indeed is it able, Footnotes: 1Or does not obey. 2John 15:5, 1 John 4:4, 1 John 3:9, 1 John 5:18
Sha’ul calls those having this kind of attitude "babes":
1Co 3:1 and I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual ones but as to fleshly, as to babes in Messiah.
1Co 3:3 forG1063 ye areG2075 yetG2089 carnal:G4559 forG1063 whereasG3699 there is amongG1722 youG5213 envying,G2205 andG2532 strife,G2054 andG2532 divisions,G1370 areG2075 ye notG3780 carnal,G4559 andG2532 walkG4043 asG2596 men?G444 
What was the particularity of the Medianites, why does יהוה told Moshe to "distress" (vex, harass) the Medianites? (verses 18-19)   
................they have beguiledH5230 you inH5921 the matterH1697 of Peor,H6465
Do you remember what Balaal advice was?
Num 31:16 “Look, they are the ones who caused the children of Yisra’ĕl, through the word of Bilʽam, to trespass against יהוה in the matter of Peʽor, and there was a plague among the congregation of יהוה.
You may be surprise reading this word, but our Master warn believers what will be until his coming back:
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 13:25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel (tare) among the wheat and went away.
Mat 13:26 “And when the blade sprouted and bore fruit, then the darnel also appeared.
Mat 13:27 “And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where then does it have the darnel (tare)?’
Mat 13:28 “And he said to them, ‘A man, an enemy did this.’ And the servants said to him, ‘Do you wish then, that we go and gather them up?’
Mat 13:29 “But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the darnel (tare) you also uproot the wheat with them.
Mat 13:30Let 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 (treasure house).” ’ ”
EXPLANATION:
Mat 13:36 Then, having sent the crowds away, יהושע went into the house. And His taught ones came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel of the field.”
Mat 13:37 And He answering, said to them, He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Aḏam,
Mat 13:38 and the field is the world. And the good seed, these are the sons of the reign, but the darnel (tare) are the sons of the wicked one,
Mat 13:39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. And the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the messengers (not angels).
Mat 13:40 “As the darnel (tare), then, is gathered and burned in the fire, so it shall be at the end of this age.
Mat 13:41 “The Son of Aḏam shall send out His messengers, and they shall gather out of His reign all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness,
Mat 13:42 and shall throw them into the furnace of fire – there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then the righteous1 shall shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! Footnote: 1Ps. 37:29, Ps. 72:7, Ps. 75:10, Ps. 118:19-20, Ps. 146:8, Mal. 3:18, Rev. 22:11.
We can see that the same words come again and again: "righteous, lawless" even called "stumbling block".
Do you realize that brethren who encourage other to go after man carnal nature are called "stumbling block"
Here a comment from Deil and Kelitzsch concerning Pinehas:
Num 25:10-15 
For this act of divine zeal the eternal possession of the priesthood was promised to Phinehas and his posterity as Jehovah's covenant of peace. בְּקַנְאֹו, by displaying my zeal in the midst of them (viz., the Israelites). קִנְאָתִי is not “zeal for me,” but “my zeal,” the zeal of Jehovah with which Phinehas was filled, and impelled to put the daring sinners to death. By doing this he had averted destruction from the Israelites, and restrained the working of Jehovah's zeal, which had manifested itself in the plague. “I gave him my covenant of peace” (the suffix is attached to the governing noun, as in Lev_6:3). בְּרִית נָתַן, as in Gen_17:2, to give, i.e., to fulfil the covenant, to grant what was promised in the covenant. The covenant granted to Phinehas consisted in the fact, that an “eternal priesthood” (i.e., the eternal possession of the priesthood) was secured to him, not for himself alone, but for his descendants also, as a covenant, i.e., in a covenant, or irrevocable form, since God never breaks a covenant that He has made. In accordance with this promise, the high-priesthood which passed from Eleazar to Phinehas (Jdg_20:28) continued in his family, with the exception of a brief interruption in Eli's days (see at 1 Sam 1-3 and 1Sa_14:3), until the time of the last gradual dissolution of the Jewish state through the tyranny of Herod and his successors (see my Archäologie, §38). - In Num_25:14, Num_25:15, the names of the two daring sinners are given. The father of Cozbi, the Midianitish princess, was named Zur, and is described here as “head of the tribes (אֻמֹּות, see at Gen_25:16) of a father's house in Midian,” i.e., as the head of several of the Midianitish tribes that were descended from one tribe-father; in Num_31:8, however, he is described as a king, and classed among the five kings of Midian who were slain by the Israelites.
Have you ever compared Pincha (Pineahs) to Yehsua?
Joh 2:13 and the Passover of the Yehuḏim was near, and יהושע went up to Yerushalayim.
Joh 2:14 and He found in the Set-apart Place those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting.
Joh 2:15 and having made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the Set-apart Place, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the moneychangers’ coins and overturned the tables.
Joh 2:16 and He said to those selling doves, “Take these away! Do not make the house of My Father a house of merchandise!”


Num 25:10 and יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 25:11 “Pineḥas, son of Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Yisra’ĕl, because he was ardent with My ardour in their midst, so that I did not consume the children of Yisra’ĕl in My ardour.
Num 25:12 “Therefore say, ‘See, I am giving him My covenant of peace,
Num 25:13 and it shall be to him and to his seed after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was ardent for his Elohim, and made atonement for the children of Yisra’ĕl.’ ”
Num 25:14 and the name of the Yisra’ĕlite who was killed, who was killed with the Miḏyanite woman, was Zimri, son of Salu, a leader of a father’s house among the Shimʽonites.
Num 25:15 and the name of the Miḏyanite woman who was killed was Kozbi the daughter of Tsur. He was head of the people of a father’s house in Miḏyan.
Num 25:16 and יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 25:17Distress the Miḏyanites! And you shall smite them,
Num 25:18 for they distressed you with their tricks with which they deceived you in the matter of Peʽor and in the matter of Kozbi, the daughter of a leader of Miḏyan, their sister, who was killed in the day of the plague because of Peʽor.”
Chapter 26.
The chapter is based on the counting of the children of Israel (carnal man) from twenty years old and above according to their "heads".
You can read for yourselves and look to the relation between the descendants. As I was reading, knowing that in Hebrew every name has a meaning, I have look at it and will give back as I have listed, you will find some very interesting connection. Is there a hidden truth inside? Today I didn't dig much more, may be the "Ruach" will remove as time comes.
I list the name as they come throughout the chapter, in the same order writing the name of the sons of Ya'acov in fat in order to see their descendants:
Reuben "behold a son"
      Hanoch "dedicated"
      Pallu"distinguished"
                  Eliab "my El is Father", "El is Father"
                  Nemu'el "day of El"
                  Dathan "belonging to a fountain"

Jamiseon, Fausset Brown Dictionary, give us an interesting tablet concerning the census comparing the two different one find in the book of Badmidbar, although the total remain almost the same:

 Total decrease                                                                                  1,820
The Levites are not counted in the census!

I come back to Tovia and his explanation, he explain saying: The Torah shows three aspects to the people's relationship to the land:
1.                                   National: Population, seize, and vocation determining their portion                                     (verses 53-56).
2.                                   Seemingly arbitrary: "Casting lot" (read Acts 1:25-26)
3.                                   Intrinsic (inborn):pre-existence of a connection between the heir and                                     the heritage.
The same aspect can be found in our own life. Things in life happen:
1.                   Due to our rational abilities, choices and actions
2.                   In a seemingly random and arbitrary manner.
3.                   At time that shows us the sum and substance of who and what we are in Elohim's plan.
Through a proper balance of Torah study, prayer, and performing of the "mitzvot" (commandments), we can thus learn that to live means:
1.       To develop and make use of the talents and abilities Elohim gave us.
2.           To recognize and rightly respond to the "mysterious" opportunities that           come our way.
3.           To seek the truth of Elohim regarding His plan for us in this lifetime.

Num 26:53The land is to be divided to these as an inheritance, according to the number of names.
Num 26:54 “To the large one you give a larger inheritance, and to the small one you give a smaller inheritance. Each shall be given its inheritance according to their registered ones.
Num 26:55 “But the land is divided by lot, they inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.
Num 26:56 “According to the lot their inheritance is divided between the larger and the smaller.”
Num 26:57 and these are the registered ones of the Lĕwites according to their clans: of Gĕreshon, the clan of the Gĕreshonites; of Qehath, the clan of the Qehathites; of Merari, the clan of the Merarites.
Num 26:58 These are the clans of the Lĕwites: the clan of the Liḇnites, the clan of the Ḥeḇronites, the clan of the Maḥlites, the clan of the Mushites, and the clan of the Qorḥites. And Qehath brought forth Amram.
Num 26:59 and the name of Amram’s wife was Yoḵeḇeḏ the daughter of Lĕwi, who was born to Lĕwi in Mitsrayim. And to Amram she bore Aharon and Mosheh and their sister Miryam.
Num 26:60 And to Aharon were born Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, Elʽazar and Ithamar.
Num 26:61 and Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu died when they brought strange fire before יהוה.
Num 26:62 and their registered ones were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above. For they were not registered among the other children of Yisra’ĕl, because there was no inheritance given to them among the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 26:63 These are the ones registered by Mosheh and Elʽazar the priest, who registered the sons of Yisra’ĕl in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ by the Yardĕn of Yeriḥo.
Num 26:64 But among these there was not a man of those registered by Mosheh and Aharon the priest when they registered the sons of Yisra’ĕl in the Wilderness of Sinai.
Num 26:65 for יהוה had said of them, “They shall certainly die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Kalĕḇ son of Yephunneh, and Yehoshua son of Nun.
Chapter 27.
The inheritance is claimed by the daughter. This has been granted by Elohim after Moshe ask Him what to do. (verses 6-7). Verses 8-11, יהוה gives Moshe the way to divide the inheritance in case the dead has no son. It is very interesting that until today, we have similar rules in our country (France) in the inheritance of the death. The sons share with the daughter and if there is no son or daughter, the inheritance goes to the next relatives.
12-23.
Moshe can go up to the Mount Abarim to see the land which Yehowah has given to the Children of Israel (carnal man).
The Hebrew word "Abarim" is Strong's #H56582 עברים ăbârîym
BDB Definition: Abarim = “regions beyond”
Moshe ask יהוה to give the Children of Israel a man to lead them, who can go in before them and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the congregation of יהוה be not "as sheep which have no shepherd ".
All the wording here is important as we can later read what Yehoshua say:
Mat 9:35 And יהושע went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their congregations, and proclaiming the Good News of the reign, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
Mat 9:36 And having seen the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, as sheep having no shepherd.
יהוה tell Moshe to set Yehoshua (son of Nun)has "shepherd" and lay his hands upon him. Yehoshua is synonym to Yehoshua. In the book of Nehemiah which is partly written in Aramaic we read concerning Yeshua son of Nun:
Neh 8:17 And the entire assembly of those who had come back from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths, for since the days of Yeshua son of Nun until that day the children of Yisra’ĕl had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing.
This is one of the reason many call Yehoshua by the name "Yeshua", but they are other semantic problems which is expounded in a midrash from Gérard Gertoux the Name of Yehowah"
When reading the book of Yehoshua, we should have in mind that it is a shadow of those entering the promise land at Yehoshua Second Advent.
יהוה tell Moshe to set Yehoshua before El’azar the priest and before the all congregation to give him the charge in their sight.
El’azar was the descendant of Aharon:
Luk 1:5 There was in the days of Herodes, the sovereign of Yehuḏah, a certain priest named Zeḵaryah, of the division of Aḇiyah. And his wife was of the daughters of Aharon, and her name was Elisheḇa.
Yehoshua Son of Nun will be the shepherd who will lead the Children of Israel to enter the promise land:
Joh 10:14 “I am the good shepher.1 and I know Mine, and Mine know Me, Footnote: 1Ezek. 34:11-12, Heb. 13:20, 1 Peter 2:25, 1 Peter 5:4.
Joh 10:15 even as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father and I lay down My life for the sheep.
Joh 10:16And other sheep I have which are not of this fold – I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.1 Footnote: 1Ezek. 34:23, Ezek. 37:24.
Who are those sheep which are not of this fold, are they not the "Lost sheep from the House of Israel, Ephraim"?
1Pe 2:25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your soul.

Num 27:1  Then came the daughters of Tselophḥaḏ, son of Ḥĕpher, son of Gilʽaḏ, son of Maḵir, son of Menashsheh, from the clans of Menashsheh, son of Yosĕph. And these were the names of his daughters: Maḥlah, Noʽah, and Ḥoḡlah, and Milkah, and Tirtsah.
Num 27:2 and they stood before Mosheh, and before Elʽazar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Num 27:3 “Our father died in the wilderness, yet he was not in the company of those who were met together against יהוה, in company with Qoraḥ, but he died in his own sin. And he had no sons.
Num 27:4 “Why should the name of our father be removed from among his clan because he had no son? Give us a possession among the brothers of our father.”
Num 27:5 Mosheh then brought their case before יהוה.
Num 27:6 and יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 27:7 “The daughters of Tselophḥaḏ speak what is right. You should certainly give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.
Num 27:8 “And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘When a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.
Num 27:9 ‘And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
Num 27:10 ‘And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.
Num 27:11 ‘And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest relative in his clan, and he shall possess it.’ ” And it shall be to the children of Yisra’ĕl a law of right-ruling, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.
Num 27:12 and יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go up into this Mount Aḇarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 27:13 “And when you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people as Aharon your brother was gathered,
Num 27:14 because you rebelled against My mouth in the Wilderness of Tsin, in the strife of the congregation, to set Me apart at the waters before their eyes.” These were the waters of Meriḇah, at Qaḏĕsh in the Wilderness of Tsin.
Num 27:15 and Mosheh spoke to יהוה, saying,
Num 27:16 “Let יהוה, the Elohim of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,
Num 27:17 who goes out before them and comes in before them, who leads them out and brings them in, so that the congregation of יהוה be not like sheep without a shepherd.”
Num 27:18 and יהוה said to Mosheh, “Take Yehoshua son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the Spirit. And you shall lay your hand on him,
Num 27:19 and shall set him before Elʽazar the priest and before all the congregation, and give him charge before their eyes,
Num 27:20 and shall put some of your esteem upon him, so that all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl obey him.
Num 27:21 “And he is to stand before Elʽazar the priest, who shall inquire before יהוה for him by the right-ruling of the Urim. At his word they go out, and at his word they come in, both he and all the children of Yisra’ĕl with him, all the congregation.”
Num 27:22 and Mosheh did as יהוה commanded him, and took Yehoshua and set him before Elʽazar the priest and before all the congregation,
Num 27:23 and laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as יהוה commanded by the hand of Mosheh.
Chapter 28-29. The Feast of יהוה
In these chapters, יהוה bring again the feast and add more details.
28:2...........Take heed to bring My offering, My food for My offerings made by fire as a sweet fragrance to Me, at their appointed time.
The Hebrew word for "bread" is "lechem" Strong's #H3899 לחם Lechem,  lekh'-em
From H3898; food (for man or beast), especially bread, or grain (for making it): - ([shew-]) bread, X eat, food, fruit, loaf, meat, victuals. See also H1036.
Now we can look the place of birth of Yehoshua:
Joh 7:42 “Did not the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from the seed of Dawiḏ and from the village of Bĕyth Leḥem, where Dawiḏ was?”
We see now the connection, the name where Yehoshua is born "Beth Lechem" (House of bread): The bread, Yehoshua, the House (Beth) and the sacrifice as a sweet savour!
Verse 2.......ye shall observe........
The word "observe" in Hebrew is "shamar" to hedge about, to protect or preserve.
5......and a tenth part of an Ephah of flour for a grain offering.
An "omer"is the tenth part of an Ephah and represent a single person, it was valued as a half shekel, the price the Children of Israel had to pay for their "redemption".(Sh'mot/Exodus 30:13). An Ephah represent the all congregation. The pure Oil represent the "Ruach HaQodesh" (Set apart Spirit) who keep the congregation together
1Co 10:17 Because there is one bread, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.
11.and in the beginning of our month, ye shall offer a burnt offering......
The beginning of the Month in Hebrew "Rosh Chodesh"was celebrate with an offering, once again pointing to Messiah Yehoshua who is the Head "Rosh" of the Body!
Nowadays, believers follower of the Torah have started to celebrate "Rosh Chodesh",to mark the beginning of the month, not with an offering but with prayer and thanks giving.
The new month is declared when at least two witness in Yerushalayim have sighted the moon and proclaim it. Today we receive confirmation through Internet and the new of the "Rosh Chodesh" spray throughout the world in a very short time from the East to the West, from the North to the South.
Some believers celebrate according to the New Moon in their land. Everything will be settle when Mashiach Yehoshua comes back.
Num 28:1 and יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 28:2 “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘Take heed to bring My offering, My food for My offerings made by fire as a sweet fragrance to Me, at their appointed time.’
Num 28:3 “And you shall say to them, ‘This is the offering made by fire which you bring to יהוה: two male lambs a year old, perfect ones, daily, a continual burnt offering.
Num 28:4The one lamb you prepare in the morning, and the other lamb you prepare between the evenings,
Num 28:5 with one-tenth of an ĕphah of fine flour as a grain offering mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil,
Num 28:6 a continual burnt offering which was offered at Mount Sinai for a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to יהוה,
Num 28:7 and its drink offering, one-fourth of a hin for each lamb. Pour out the drink to יהוה as an offering in the set-apart place.
Num 28:8 ‘And the other lamb you prepare between the evenings. As the morning grain offering and its drink offering, you prepare it as an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
Num 28:9 ‘And on the Sabbath day two lambs a year old, perfect ones, and two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with oil, with its drink offering,
Num 28:10 the burnt offering for every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering with its drink offering.

Chapter 29.
This chapter is consecrated to the "fall Feast" on the seventh month.
Seven represent the divine perfection on earth, and will be marked by the reign of Messiah on earth.
Verse 1......in the seventh month, on the first day of the month............. is a day of blowing the trumpets..
This is Yom Teruah,. This day has been proclaimed after the New Moon has been sighted in Yerushalayim by two witness at least. This day herald a serial of Feasts which will culminate in the "Feast of Succoth" with the Last Great day".
This feast announces the coronation of Messiah Yehoshua when he will establish יהוה Kingdom and judge the nations in righteousness.
In 1st Thessalonians 5:1-2, Sha’ul speaks of the coming back of Yehoshua and says:
1Th 5:1  Now, brothers, as to the times and the seasons, you do not need to be written to.
1Th 5:2 For you yourselves know very well that the day of יהוה comes as a thief in the night.
Yehoshua in Mattityahu 24:36, doesn't say that we don't know the season, but the day and hour!
In fact Yom Teruah is the only Feast to start with the "New Moon", "Rosh Chodesh", only then can the trumpet be blown. This is when the dead will raise as Sha’ul explains:
1Co 15:51 See, I speak a secret to you: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
There are three trumpets that have significant purpose, each with a specific day during the year.
Ø  The First trump associated with "Yom Habikkurim", The feast of Shavuot, Pentecost
Ø  The Last Trump as spoken by Shaul associated with Yom Teruah and the resurection of the dead;
Ø  The Great Trump associated with Yom Kippur, the day of Judgement for some and redemption for the other (Matt. 24:31)
Ø  CHANGE: Here I want to put a mark, in fact in a new study we have come to a NEW conclusion concerning “the day and hour” which I will expound in a new midrash concerning the “timing of return of Moschiach during Shavuot”.

During the Feast of Tabernacle (Succoth) starting on the fifteen of the seventh month, every day sacrifices were made during seven days. The Rams, Lambs, and others offering were equals during these days, only "the Bullocks" started with 13 (the number of rebellion) on the first day (29:13), to end with "seven Bulocks", on the seventh day. Seven again mark the divine perfection on earth.
Interesting is that the first sacrifice start with the number 13, which is the number for rebellion
B'reshit/Gen. 14: 4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
In order to understand the sacrifice, we need to count the bullocks and find out that during the seven days, "seventy bullocks" were offered. We can count 10x 7=70; Ten been the number for the sum of all number and the earthly perfection which a man can attain (i.e. Ten commandments).
Seventy symbolize both, the seventy people in the clan of Ya'acov at his arrival in Egypt, and also the seventy nations listed in B'reshit/Genesis 10, descendants of Noach who replenished the earth. We also see how Yehoshua used this number, sending seventy disciples to preach the Gospel:
Luk 10:1  And after this the Master appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of Him into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

HAFTORAH



1Ki 18:46 And the hand of יהוה was on Ěliyahu. And he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Aḥaḇ to the entrance of Yizreʽĕl.

1Ki 19:2 Izeḇel sent a messenger to Ěliyahu, saying, “So let the mighty ones do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.”
1Ki 19:3 and he feared, and rose up and ran for his life, and went to Be’ĕrsheḇa, which belongs to Yehuḏah, and left his servant there.
1Ki 19:4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree, and prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, יהוה, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”
1Ki 19:5 and he lay and slept under a broom tree, and see, a messenger touched him, and said to him, “Rise, eat.”
1Ki 19:6 and he looked and saw by his head a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and turned and lay down.
1Ki 19:7 and the messenger of יהוה came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Rise, eat, for the journey is too much for you.”
1Ki 19:8 And he rose up and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Ḥorĕḇ, the mountain of Elohim.
1Ki 19:9 and there he went into a cave and spent the night there. And see, the word of יהוה came to him, and said to him, “What are you doing here, Ěliyahu?”
1Ki 19:10 and he said, “I have been very jealous for יהוה Elohim of hosts, for the children of Yisra’ĕl have forsaken Your covenant. They have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets with the sword, and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it.”
1Ki 19:11 And He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before יהוה.” And see, יהוה passed by, and a great and strong wind tearing the mountains and breaking the rocks in pieces before יהוה – יהוה was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake – יהוה was not in the earthquake,
1Ki 19:12 and after the earthquake a fire – יהוה was not in the fire, and after the fire a still small voice.
1Ki 19:13 and it came to be, when Ěliyahu heard it, that he wrapped his face in his robe and went out and stood at the cave opening. And see, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Ěliyahu?”
1Ki 19:14 and he said, “I have been very jealous for יהוה Elohim of hosts, for the children of Yisra’ĕl have forsaken Your covenant. They have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets with the sword, and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it.”
1Ki 19:15 and יהוה said to him, “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus. And you shall go in and anoint Ḥaza’ĕl as sovereign over Aram.
1Ki 19:16 “And anoint Yĕhu son of Nimshi as sovereign over Yisra’ĕl. And anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Aḇĕl Meḥolah as prophet in your place.
1Ki 19:17 “And it shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Ḥaza’ĕl, Yĕhu does kill. And whoever escapes from the sword of Yĕhu, Elisha does kill.
1Ki 19:18 “And I shall leave seven thousand in Yisra’ĕl, all whose knees have not bowed to Baʽal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
1Ki 19:19 and he went from there, and found Elisha son of Shaphat, who was ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. And Ěliyahu passed by him and threw his robe on him.
1Ki 19:20 and he left the oxen and ran after Ěliyahu, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I follow you.” And he said to him, “Go, turn back, for what have I done to you?”
1Ki 19:21 and he turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and cooked their flesh, using the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he rose up and followed Ěliyahu, and became his servant.


Joh 2:13 and the Passover of the Yehuḏim was near, and יהושע went up to Yerushalayim.
Joh 2:14 and He found in the Set-apart Place those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers sitting.
Joh 2:15 And having made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the Set-apart Place, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the moneychangers’ coins and overturned the tables.
Joh 2:16 and He said to those selling doves, “Take these away! Do not make the house of My Father a house of merchandise!”
Joh 2:17 And His taught ones remembered that it was written, “The ardour for Your house has eaten Me up.”
Joh 2:18 and the Yehuḏim answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You are doing these?”
Joh 2:19 יהושע answered and said to them, “Destroy this Dwelling Place, and in three days I shall raise it.”
Joh 2:20 Then the Yehuḏim said, “It took forty-six years to build this Dwelling Place, and You are going to raise it in three days?”
Joh 2:21 But He spoke about the Dwelling Place of His body.
Joh 2:22 So, when He was raised from the dead, His taught ones remembered that He said this to them. And they believed the Scripture and the word which יהושע had said.
May YHWH bless you and keep you as you keep the way, following the step of our Master Yehoshua HaMoschiach.
