Shabbat Shalom Loved One! (This study is attached for printing/reading and available at the website below)
Remember we are FAMILY! He sets before us life and death- blessings and curses- and then warns us- Choose Life! A willing and obedient attitude and position brings us FAMILY GIFTS! (We must humble ourselves and receive His words/instructions/commands)

(Isa 1:18) “Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isa 1:19) “If you submit and obey (willing and obedient), you shall eat the good of the land; (Isa 1:20) but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of יהוה has spoken.
Loved One, before we look at what YHWH told me to share with you (FAMILY GIFTS); let’s once again remind ourselves why you and I and they are Family and as such you (we) are “Loved Ones”! I consider all “Truth Seekers” family and therefore loved ones. Once again, here’s why; (Matthew 12:46) While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak with him.(Matthew 12:47) Then one said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak with you. (Matthew 12:48) But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is my mother? And who are my brothers? (Matthew 12:49) And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, behold my mother and my brothers! (Matthew 12:50) For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Understand if we are willing to humble ourselves and submit to the will of YHWH and do the Father’s will (His TORAH /Instructions) we are Yahshua’s (Jesus’) family!
Have WE inherited lies? Most Likely!
We should also realize a truth: Jeremiah prophesied that in the DAY OF AFFLICTION (Comment: Hebrew idiom for Jacob’s Trouble or also known as the Great Tribulation in the last days) we would recognize (YHWH reveals truth) and become aware of the fact that we have added to and subtracted from His FEASTS and commands! These are lies that really don’t please Him because they have pagan roots and are manmade (added and subtracted from the WORD) traditions that make the word of YHWH of none effect! (Jeremiah 16:19) O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (Deuteronomy 4:2) “Do not add to the Word which I command you, and do not take away from it1, so as to guard the commands of יהוה your Elohim which I am commanding you. Footnote: 1See also 12:32, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.
Can we even imagine thinking we were serving YHWH our whole lives’ and hear Him tell us we inherited lies and were workers of Lawlessness (Torahlessness)- that He never knew us and to depart from us; that we actually were disobedient following pagan traditions we inherited? This experience would and will cause many to go screaming in horror, weeping and gnashing of teeth, into the flames of hell! Oh Yah- Change us NOW! Reveal your TRUTH to us that we may be pleasing in your sight! Nothing is too hard for you YHWH! You are family (LOVED ONES) if you are humble enough to be a truth searcher. One who desires truth and obedience to your Creator- more than you want acceptance from men and their traditions.
This group would include us who are willing to pick up our burial stake and follow Him. Why do I use burial stake? Because you and I must be willing to decrease as He increases in us. He changes not and that only leaves you and I to do the changing, Yahshua put it like this: (Matthew 16:24) Then said Yahshua to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. (Matthew 16:25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
We must be willing to humble ourselves and accept the engrafted word when we discover truth. This losing our life for Him is not just physical. As we are changed into His image we are losing our old person (ality) and gaining HIM! To the degree we are hungry for Him we will be changed- no more or less. (Matthew 5:6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Let’s get hungry for more of Him and less of us- I suspect we will be most happy not to hear these words from Yahshua!
(Mat 15:7) “Hypocrites! Yeshayahu rightly prophesied about you, saying, (Mat 15:8) ‘This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. (Mat 15:9) ‘But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.’ ”1 Footnote: 1Isa. 29:13, Mk. 7:7, 2 Ki. 17:19.
FAMILY PROTOCOL IS IMPORTANT- (Especially if we expect gifts- hehe) (Mat 15:4) “For Elohim has commanded, saying, ‘Respect (honor) your father and your mother,’ and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ (Eph 6:1) Children, obey your parents in the Master, for this is right. (Eph 6:2) “Respect (honor) your father and mother,” which is the first command with promise, (Eph 6:3) in order that it might be well with you, and you might live long on the earth.” Finally- let’s look at the KJV about renewing our minds in His Scripture promises regarding knowing His will in Romans 12:1-2 (Soul- mind will and intellect) and see: (3Jn 1:2) Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Do we want to be blessed to be a blessing like Isaac was? Let’s give our parents honor and more importantly (possibly setting precedence) our Heavenly Father honor and LIVE UNDER AN OPEN HEAVEN! Do we really understand that obedience brings blessings and disobedience brings curses?
Thanksgiving was our theme last week- trust you got to be with your loved ones! Approaching YHWH and entering His presence! Also realize that if you are in great warfare- enter His gates (Doorway) giving thanks- remember the old song- “Count your blessings, count them one by one, count your many blessings see what YHWH’s done and then PRAISE HIM as demon spirits cannot hang around and get you down when He is present! Hallelu-YAH! (Psalms 22:2) O My Elohim, I call by day, but you do not answer; and by night, but I find no rest. (Psalms 22:3) Yet you are set-apart, Enthroned on the praises of Yisra’ĕl. KJV uses inhabits…
Psalms_100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His Name. Psalms_105:1 Give thanks to יהוה! Call upon His Name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. Psalms_106:1 Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting.
Hey Loved One- just reading these few Scriptures again will bring His presence! Hallelu-YAH!
2Sa_22:50 “Therefore I give thanks to You, O יהוה, among nations, And I sing praise to Your Name. 1Ch_16:8 Give thanks to יהוה, call upon His Name, and make known His deeds among the peoples! 1Ch_16:34 Give thanks to יהוה, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting! Psalms_7:17 I give thanks to יהוה according to His righteousness, and praise the Name of יהוה Most High.
We must review and remind ourselves why we are blessed to be a blessing to others!
Promises guaranteed by the Creator for obeying Him and curses guaranteed for disobeying Him! This applies to many countries including our beloved USA- Note how the correction and punishment highlights are serious in length.
(Lev 26:3) ‘If you walk in my laws and guard my commands, and shall do them, (Lev 26:4) then I shall give you rain in its season, and the land shall yield its crops, and the trees of the field yield their fruit.

(Lev 26:12) ‘And I shall walk in your midst, and shall be your Elohim, and you shall be my people. (Lev 26:13) ‘I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from being their slaves. And I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright. (Lev 26:14) ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not do all these commands, (Lev 26:15) and if you reject My laws, or if your being loathes My right-rulings, so that you do not do all My commands, but break My covenant, (Lev 26:16) I also do this to you: And I shall appoint sudden alarm over you, wasting disease and inflammation, destroying the eyes, and consuming the life. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. (Lev 26:17) ‘And I shall set my face against you, and you shall be smitten before your enemies. And those who hate you shall rule over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you. (Lev 26:18) ‘And after all this, if you do not obey me, then I shall punish you seven times more for your sins. (Lev 26:19) ‘And I shall break the pride of your power, and shall make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze. (Lev 26:20) ‘And your strength shall be spent in vain and your land will not yield its crops, nor do the trees of the land yield their fruit. (Lev 26:21) ‘And if you walk contrary to me, and refuse to obey Me, I shall bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins, (Lev 26:22) and send wild beasts among you, which shall bereave you of your children. And I shall cut off your livestock, and make you few in number, and your highways shall be deserted. (Lev 26:23) ‘And if you are not instructed by me by these, but walk contrary to me, (Lev 26:24) then I also shall walk contrary to you, and I myself shall smite you seven times for your sins. (Lev 26:25) ‘And I shall bring against you a sword executing the vengeance of my covenant, and you shall gather together in your cities, and I shall send pestilence among you, and you shall be given into the hand of the enemy. (Lev 26:26) ‘When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back to you your bread by weight and you shall eat and not be satisfied. (Lev 26:27) ‘And if in spite of this, you do not obey me, but walk contrary to me, (Lev 26:28) then I shall walk contrary to you in wrath. And I myself shall punish you seven times for your sins. (Lev 26:29) ‘And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and eat the flesh of your daughters. (Lev 26:30) ‘And I shall destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols. And my being shall loathe you. (Lev 26:31) ‘And I shall turn your cities into ruins and lay your set-apart places waste, and not smell your sweet fragrances. (Lev 26:32) ‘And I shall lay the land waste, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it. (Lev 26:33) ‘And I shall scatter you among the gentiles and draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be desert and your cities ruins, (Lev 26:34) and the land enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lays waste and you are in your enemies’ land. Then the land would rest and enjoy its Sabbaths. (Lev 26:35) ‘As long as it lays waste it rests, for the time it did not rest on your Sabbaths when you dwelt in it. (Lev 26:36) ‘And as for those of you who are left, I shall send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee. And they shall flee as though retreating from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues. (Lev 26:37) ‘And they shall stumble over one another, as from before a sword, when no one pursues. And you shall be unable to stand before your enemies. (Lev 26:38) ‘And you shall perish among the gentiles, (Heathen) and the land of your enemies shall eat you up, (Lev 26:39) and those of you who are left rot away in their crookedness in your enemies’ lands, and also in their fathers’ crookednesses rot away with them. (Lev 26:40) ‘But if they confess their crookedness and the crookedness of their fathers, with their trespass in which they trespassed against me, and that they also have walked contrary to me, (Lev 26:41) and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies – if their uncircumcised heart is then humbled, and they accept the punishment of their crookedness, (Lev 26:42) then I shall remember my covenant with Yaʽaqoḇ, and also my covenant with Yitsḥaq, and also remember my covenant with Aḇraham, and remember the land. (Lev 26:43) ‘For the land was abandoned by them, and enjoying its Sabbaths while lying waste without them, and they were paying for their crookedness, because they rejected my right-rulings and because their being loathed my laws. (Lev 26:44) ‘And yet for all this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I shall not reject them, nor shall I loathe them so as to destroy them and break my covenant with them. I am יהוה their Elohim. (Lev 26:45) ‘Then I shall remember for their sake the covenant of the ancestors whom I brought out of the land of Mitsrayim before the eyes of the nations to be their Elohim. I am יהוה.’ (Lev 26:46) These are the laws and the right-rulings and the Torot1 which יהוה made between Himself and the children of Yisra’ĕl on Mount Sinai by the hand of Mosheh. Footnote: 1Torot - plural of Torah, teaching.
(Isa 49:24) Is prey taken from the mighty, and the captives of the righteous delivered? (Isa 49:25) Yes- said יהוה, “Even the captives of the mighty are taken away; and the prey of the ruthless is delivered. I strive with him who strives with you, and I save your children. Hey now that’s FAMILY BENEFITS! He contends with our enemies and delivers and saves our children!
Receiving our last (New Covenant) Torah portion this week will help us to walk in His miracle gifts in these days ahead known as Jacob’s Troubles, so let’s be open- study and receive so we can be used to produce fruit that remains!. With thankful hearts- which are counting our blessings one by one- let’s turn our hearts and minds to this week’s Torah portion Loved Ones!

Here are this Week’s Torah Scriptures: Bamidbar “In the Wilderness”
Numbers 1:1-4:20; Hosea 2:1-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12-20
Numbering Israel and Assigning their Portion and Place of Service-
(Numbers 1:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, saying, (Numbers 1:2) “Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, by their clans, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male, head by head, (Numbers 1:3) from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army in Yisra’ĕl. Number them by their divisions, you and Aharon. (Numbers 1:4) “And a man from every tribe should be with you, each one the head of his father’s house.

Set Apart- Levites
(Numbers 1:47) But the Lĕwites were not registered among them by their fathers’ tribe, (Numbers 1:48) because יהוה had spoken to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 1:49) “Only the tribe of Lĕwi you do not register, nor take a census of them among the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 1:50) “Instead, appoint the Lĕwites over the Dwelling Place of the Witness, over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They bear the Dwelling Place and all its furnishings, and they attend to it, and camp around the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 1:51) “And when the Dwelling Place is to go forward, the Lĕwites take it down. And when the Dwelling Place is to be set up, the Lĕwites set it up. And the stranger who comes near is put to death. (Numbers 1:52) “And the children of Yisra’ĕl shall pitch their tents, everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own banner, according to their divisions, (Numbers 1:53) but let the Lĕwites camp around the Dwelling Place of the Witness, so that there be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Lĕwites shall guard the duty of the Dwelling Place of the Witness.” (Numbers 1:54) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to all that יהוה commanded Mosheh, so they did.
YHWH has ORDER in the camp!
(Numbers 2:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 2:2) “The children of Yisra’ĕl are to camp, each one by his own banner, beside the sign of his father’s house. Let them camp around the Tent of Meeting at a distance.” (Numbers 2:3) And on the east side, towards sunrise: those of the banner of the camp of Yehuḏah camp according to their divisions. And the leader of the children of Yehuḏah: Naḥshon, son of Amminaḏaḇ. (Numbers 2:4) And his army with their registered ones: seventy-four thousand six hundred. (Numbers 2:5) Those camping next to him are the tribe of Yissasḵar, and the leader of the children of Yissasḵar: Nethanĕ’l, son of Tsuʽar. (Numbers 2:6) and his army with its registered ones: fifty-four thousand four hundred. (Numbers 2:7) Then the tribe of Zeḇulun, and the leader of the children of Zeḇulun: Eliyaḇ, son of Ḥĕlon. (Numbers 2:8) And his army with its registered ones: fifty-seven thousand four hundred. (Numbers 2:9) All the registered ones of the camp of Yehuḏah, according to their divisions: one hundred and eighty-six thousand four hundred. These depart first. (Numbers 2:10) On the south side: the banner of the camp of Re’uḇĕn according to their divisions, and the leader of the children of Re’uḇĕn: Elitsur, son of Sheḏĕy’ur. (Numbers 2:11) And his army with its registered ones: forty-six thousand five hundred. (Numbers 2:12) And those who camp next to him: the tribe of Shimʽon, and the leader of the children of Shimʽon: Shelumi’ĕl, son of Tsurishaddai.

(Numbers 2:16) All the registered ones of the camp of Re’uḇĕn, according to their divisions: one hundred and fifty-one thousand four hundred and fifty. And they are the second to depart. (Numbers 2:17) And the Tent of Meeting, the camp of the Lĕwites, shall move out in the middle of the camps. As they camp, so they move out, everyone in his place, by their banners. (Numbers 2:18) On the west side: the banner of the camp of Ephrayim according to their divisions, and the leader of the children of Ephrayim: Elishama, son of Ammihuḏ. (Numbers 2:19) And his army with their registered ones: forty thousand five hundred. (Numbers 2:20) And next to him the tribe of Menashsheh, and the leader of the children of Menashsheh: Gamli’ĕl, son of Peḏahtsur.

(Numbers 2:24) All the registered ones of the camp of Ephrayim, according to their divisions: one hundred and eight thousand one hundred. And they are the third to depart. (Numbers 2:25) On the north side: the banner of the camp of Dan, according to their divisions, and the leader of the children of Dan: Aḥiʽezer, son of Ammishaddai. (Numbers 2:26) And his army with their registered ones: sixty-two thousand seven hundred. (Numbers 2:27) And those who camp next to him: the tribe of Ashĕr, and the leader of the children of Ashĕr: Paḡʽi’ĕl, son of Oḵran. (Numbers 2:28) And his army with their registered ones: forty-one thousand five hundred. (Numbers 2:29) Then the tribe of Naphtali, and the leader of the children of Naphtali: Aḥira, son of Ěnan. (Numbers 2:30) And his army with their registered ones: fifty-three thousand four hundred. (Numbers 2:31) All the registered ones of the camp of Dan: one hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They depart last, with their banners. (Numbers 2:32) These were registered ones of the children of Yisra’ĕl by their fathers’ houses. All who were registered according to their divisions of the camps: six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. (Numbers 2:33) But the Lĕwites were not registered among the children of Yisra’ĕl, as יהוה commanded Mosheh. (Numbers 2:34) And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to all that יהוה commanded Mosheh. So they camped by their banners and so they departed, each one by his clan, according to their fathers’ houses.
Protocol and the Set Apart
(Numbers 3:1) And these are the generations of Aharon and Mosheh when יהוה spoke with Mosheh on Mount Sinai. (Numbers 3:2) And these are the names of the sons of Aharon: Naḏaḇ, the first-born, and Aḇihu, Elʽazar, and Ithamar. (Numbers 3:3) These are the names of the sons of Aharon, the anointed priests, whom he ordained to act as priests. (Numbers 3:4) And Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu had died before יהוה when they brought strange fire before יהוה in the Wilderness of Sinai. And they had no children. So Elʽazar and Ithamar acted as priests in the presence of Aharon their father. (Numbers 3:5) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, Numbers 3:6) “Bring the tribe of Lĕwi near, and set them before Aharon the priest, and they shall serve him, (Numbers 3:7) and shall guard his duty and the duty of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:8) “And they shall guard all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the children of Yisra’ĕl, to do the service of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:9) “And you shall give the Lĕwites to Aharon and his sons. They are the given ones, given to him from among the children of Yisra’ĕl. (Numbers 3:10) “And appoint Aharon and his sons, and they shall guard their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.” (Numbers 3:11) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 3:12) “Now look, I myself have taken the Lĕwites from among the children of Yisra’ĕl instead of every first-born who opens the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Lĕwites shall be mine, (Numbers 3:13) because all the first-born are Mine. On the day that I struck all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, I set apart to myself all the first-born in Yisra’ĕl, both man and beast. They are Mine, I am יהוה.” (Numbers 3:14) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying, (Numbers 3:15) “Register the children of Lĕwi by their fathers’ houses, by their clans. Register every male from a month old and above.” (Numbers 3:16) So Mosheh registered them according to the word of יהוה, as he had been commanded. (Numbers 3:17) And these were the sons of Lĕwi by their names: Gĕreshon, and Qehath, and Merari. (Numbers 3:18) And these are the names of the sons of Gĕreshon by their clans: Liḇni and Shimʽi. (Numbers 3:19) and the sons of Qehath by their clans: Amram and Yitshar, Ḥeḇron and Uzzi’ĕl. (Numbers 3:20) And the sons of Merari by their clans: Maḥli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Lĕwites by their fathers’ houses. (Numbers 3:21) From Gĕreshon came the clan of the Liḇnites and the clan of the Shimʽites. These were the clans of the Gĕreshonites. (Numbers 3:22) Their registered ones, according to the number of all the males from a month old and above, their registered ones were seven thousand five hundred. (Numbers 3:23) The clans of the Gĕreshonites were to camp westward, behind the Dwelling Place, (Numbers 3:24) and the leader of the fathers’ house of the Gĕreshonites: Elyasaph, son of La’ĕl. (Numbers 3:25) And the duty of the children of Gĕreshon in the Tent of Meeting was the Dwelling Place, and the tent with its covering, and the covering of the door of the Tent of Meeting, (Numbers 3:26) and the screens of the courtyard and the covering of the door of the courtyard, which is around the Dwelling Place and the altar, and their cords, according to all its service. (Numbers 3:27) And from Qehath came the clan of the Amramites, and the clan of the Yitsharites, and the clan of the Ḥeḇronites, and the clan of the Uzzi’ĕlites. These were the clans of the Qehathites. (Numbers 3:28) In number, all the males, from a month old and above, were eight thousand six hundred, guarding the duty of the set-apart place. (Numbers 3:29) The clans of the children of Qehath were to camp on the south side of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:30) The leader of the fathers’ house of the clans of the Qehathites; was Elitsaphan, son of Uzzi’ĕl. (Numbers 3:31) And their duty was the ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and the altars, and the utensils of the set-apart place used in the service, and the covering, and all its service. (Numbers 3:32) And Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, was to be chief over the leaders of the Lĕwites, with oversight of those who guard the duty of the set-apart place. (Numbers 3:33) From Merari came the clan of the Maḥlites and the clan of the Mushites. These were the clans of Merari. (Numbers 3:34) The number of their registered ones; all the males from a month old and above, were six thousand two hundred. (Numbers 3:35) The leader of the fathers’ house of the clans of Merari; was Tsuri’ĕl, son of Aḇiḥayil. These were to camp on the north side of the Dwelling Place. (Numbers 3:36) And the appointed duty of the children of Merari was the boards of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its columns, and its sockets, and its utensils, and all its service, (Numbers 3:37) and the columns of the courtyard all around, with their sockets, and their pegs, and their cords. (Numbers 3:38) And those who were to camp before the Dwelling Place on the east, before the Tent of Meeting, were Mosheh and Aharon, and his sons, guarding the duty of the set-apart place, and the duty of the children of Yisra’ĕl. But the stranger who came near was to be put to death. (Numbers 3:39) All the registered ones of the Lĕwites, whom Mosheh and Aharon registered at the command of יהוה, by their clans, all the males from a month old and above, were twenty-two thousand. (Numbers 3:40) And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Register all the first-born males of the children of Yisra’ĕl from a month old and above, and take the number of their names. (Numbers 3:41) “And you shall take the Lĕwites for Me – I am יהוה – instead of all the first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl, and the livestock of the Lĕwites instead of all the first-born among the livestock of the children of Yisra’ĕl.” (Numbers 3:42) And Mosheh registered all the first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl as יהוה had commanded him. (Numbers 3:43) And all the first-born males, by the number of names, from one month old and above of their registered ones, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three. (Numbers 3:44) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Numbers 3:45) “Take the Lĕwites instead of all the first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl, and the livestock of the Lĕwites instead of their livestock. And the Lĕwites shall be Mine, I am יהוה. (Numbers 3:46) “And for the ransom of the two hundred and seventy-three of the first-born of the children of Yisra’ĕl, who are more than the number of the Lĕwites, (Numbers 3:47) you shall take five sheqels for each one, head by head – take it by the sheqel of the set-apart place, the sheqel of twenty gĕrahs. (Numbers 3:48) “And you shall give the silver, the ransom of those who are in excess among them, to Aharon and his sons.” (Numbers 3:49) And Mosheh took the ransom silver from those who were over and above those who were ransomed by the Lĕwites. (Numbers 3:50) From the first-born of the children of Yisra’ĕl he took the silver, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five pieces, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place. (Numbers 3:51) And Mosheh gave their ransom silver to Aharon, and to his sons, according to the word of יהוה, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

(Numbers 4:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 4:2) “Take a census of the sons of Qehath from among the children of Lĕwi, by their clans, by their fathers’ house, (Numbers 4:3) from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:4) “This is the service of the sons of Qehath in the Tent of Meeting, the most set-apart matters: (Numbers 4:5) “At the breaking of camp, Aharon and his sons shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of the Witness with it, (Numbers 4:6) and shall put on it a covering of fine leather, and spread over that an all-blue wrapper, and shall insert its poles. (Numbers 4:7) “And on the table of showbread they shall spread a blue wrapper, and shall put on it the dishes, and the ladles, and the bowls, and the jars for pouring, and the showbread on it. (Numbers 4:8) “And they shall spread over them a scarlet wrapper, and cover the same with a covering of fine leather, and shall insert its poles, (Numbers 4:9) and shall take a blue wrapper and cover the lampstand of the light, with its lamps, and its snuffers, and its trays, and all its oil vessels, by which they serve it. (Numbers 4:10) “And they shall put it with all its utensils in a covering of fine leather, and put it on a bar. (Numbers 4:11) “And over the golden altar they shall spread a blue wrapper, and cover it with a covering of fine leather, and shall insert its poles, (Numbers 4:12) and shall take all the utensils of service with which they serve in the set-apart place, and shall put them in a blue wrapper, cover them with a covering of fine leather, and put them on a bar, (Numbers 4:13) and shall remove the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple wrapper over it, (Numbers 4:14) and shall put on it all its utensils by which they serve there: the fire holders, the forks, and the shovels, and the basins, and all the utensils of the altar, and shall spread on it a covering of fine leather, and insert its poles. (Numbers 4:15) “And when Aharon and his sons have finished covering the set-apart objects and all the furnishings of the Set-apart Place at the breaking of camp, then the sons of Qehath shall come to lift them, but let them not touch that which is set-apart, lest they die. These matters are the burden of the sons of Qehath in the Tent of Meeting. (Numbers 4:16) “And the oversight of Elʽazar, son of Aharon the priest, is the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the Dwelling Place and all that is in it, with the set-apart place and its furnishings.” (Numbers 4:17) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, and to Aharon, saying, (Numbers 4:18) “Do not cut off the tribe of the clans of the Qehathites from among the Lĕwites, (Numbers 4:19) but do this to them, and they shall live and not die when they approach the most set-apart objects: Aharon and his sons shall go in and appoint each of them to his service and his burden. (Numbers 4:20) “They are not, however, to go in to watch while the set-apart objects are being covered, lest they die.”
Put away whorings which is adultery is idolatry to YHWH. He removes them “In That Day” a Hebrew Idiom for the Day of YHWH’s vengeance- Jacob’s Trouble- The Day of the Lord!
(Hos 2:1) “Say to your brothers, ‘O my people,’ and to your sisters, ‘O, compassioned one.’ (Hos 2:2) “Strive with your mother, strive, for she is not my wife, nor am I her Husband! Let her put away her whorings from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts, (Hos 2:3) lest I strip her naked, and shall set her up as on the day she was born, and shall make her like a wilderness, and shall set her like a dry land, and shall put her to death with thirst. (Hos 2:4) “And I shall not have compassion on her children, for they are the children of whorings. (Hos 2:5) “For their mother has whored, she who conceived them has acted shamelessly. For she said, ‘I go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink. Hos 2:6) “Therefore, see, I am hedging up your way with thorns, and I shall wall her in, so that she does not find her paths. (Hos 2:7) “And she shall pursue her lovers but not overtake them, and shall seek them but not find them. Then she shall say, ‘Let me go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’ (Hos 2:8) “And she did not acknowledge that I gave her grain, and new wine, and oil, and increased her silver and gold which they prepared for Baʽal. (Hos 2:9) “Therefore I shall turn back and shall take my grain in its time and My new wine in its season, and I shall take away My wool and My linen covering her nakedness. (Hos 2:10) “And now I shall uncover her shame before the eyes of her lovers, and no one shall deliver her from my hand. (Hos 2:11) “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her festivals, her New Moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to cease, (Hos 2:12) and lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, ‘these are my rewards that my lovers have given me.’ And I shall make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. (Hos 2:13) “And I shall punish her for the days of the Baʽals to which she burned incense and adorned herself with her rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, and forgot Me,” declares יהוה. (Hos 2:14) “Therefore, see, I am alluring her, and shall lead her into the wilderness, and shall speak to her heart, (Hos 2:15) and give to her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Aḵor as a door of expectation. And there she shall respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from the land of Mitsrayim. (Hos 2:16) “And it shall be, in that day,” declares יהוה, “that you call Me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘My Baʽal.’ (Hos 2:17) “And I shall remove the names of the Baʽals from her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. (Hos 2:18) “And in that day I shall make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping creatures of the ground, when bow, and sword, and battle I break from the earth. And I shall make them lie down in safety. (Hos 2:19) “And I shall take you as a bride unto me forever, and take you as a bride unto me in righteousness, and in right-ruling, and kindness and compassion. (Hos 2:20) “And I shall take you as a bride unto me in trustworthiness, and you shall know יהוה. (Hos 2:21) “And it shall be in that day that I answer,” Declares יהוה, “that I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth, (Hos 2:22) and the earth answer the grain and the new wine and the oil, and they answer Yizreʽĕl. (Hos 2:23) “And I shall sow her for myself in the earth, and I shall have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion. And I shall say to those who were not my people, ‘You are my people,’ while they say, ‘My Elohim!’ ”
FAMILY GIFTS are for the benefit of others- let’s receive them and walk in these!
YHWH does NOT want us ignorant concerning spiritual gifts—let’s not remain ignorant- but study and show ourselves approved- rightly dividing the Word of Truth! Yahshua has given us His power to trample on snakes and scorpions (All the demonic realm opposing us with stormy facts) and OVERCOME all the power of the enemy! So let’s read and receive power! Honestly, the more we read and believe and DO- the more we will be trusted and trust Him that we may DO His works on the earth. These are given (NOT for self-exaltation or our own benefit) for the benefit of others as the Holy Spirit wills and intends. Nine gifts! Let’s consider carefully who we ascribe these gifts to. To assign the works of the Ruach to works of hasatan is called “Blaspheming the Set Apart-Ruach” and will NOT be forgiven- in this age OR in the age to come! No one can make us receive these- YOU AND I MUST BE OPEN TO BE USED AND HUNGRY FOR TRUTH!
(1Co 12:1) And concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not wish you to be ignorant. (1Co 12:2) You know that you were gentiles, 1 led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led. Footnote: 1Eph. 2:11, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3, 1 Thess. 4:5. (1Co 12:3) Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of Elohim says יהושע is a curse, and no one is able to say that יהושע is Master except by the Set-apart Spirit. (1Co 12:4) And there are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. (1Co 12:5) There are different kinds of services, but the same Master. (1Co 12:6) And there are different kinds of workings, but it is the same Elohim who is working all in all. (1Co 12:7) And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, (1Co 12:8) for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, (1Co 12:9) and to another belief-faith- trust by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, (1Co 12:10) and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another kinds of unknown tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. (1Co 12:11) But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends. (1Co 12:12) For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is the Messiah. (1Co 12:13) For indeed by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Yehuḏim or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink into one Spirit. (1Co 12:14) For indeed the body is not one member but many. (1Co 12:15) If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? (1Co 12:16) And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” does it therefore not belong to the body? (1Co 12:17) If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all the body hearing, where would be the smelling? (1Co 12:18) But now Elohim has set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He pleased. (1Co 12:19) And if they all had been one member, where would the body be? (1Co 12:20) And now, there are indeed many members, but one body.
Loved One, my prayer for you is that you humble yourself by your own free will and hunger and thirst for His power to help you help others in the days ahead- which I believe are soon to be upon us called “Jacob’s Trouble”. I pray that you do exploits in His name and FEAR NOT! Hallelu-Yah!
Shalom to your home Loved One,
