Shabbat Shalom Loved One!
This study is attached for
ease of print and study format. YHWH is restoring all things and that
includes us who were once DRY BONES! Mighty is He whose mercy endures
forever! All who call on His name will be delivered! Why
we are on a
different schedule of the Torah Cycle than the mainstream and the
Orthodox? For
me it is about restoration of all things- explanation is continued at
end of
this week’s study… Loved one, we are traveling to South Africa this week
to see loved ones and minister in a conference there the 28th, 29th,
30th, and 31st- in Johannesburg- we will be getting to see our dear
friends Reg and Lynette--and so many loved ones in South Africa- such a
great family of BELIEVERS there! Please pray a blood of Yahshua
covering- over us and that we may speak His words as He directs.
Loved One, we need to become very aware of our need to blow a
Trumpet and call a solemn assembly with fasting and prayer. You hopefully have
heard the song- THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH where the dry bones are becoming
as flesh- days of famine and darkness and sword—still we are the ones in the
desert…. Crying… declaring the words of the Lord- BEHOLD HE COMES riding on the
clouds…Loved One, in case you haven’t noticed- THESE ARE THE DAYS OF ELIJAH! I
also have links for those who want to become more light and less darkness as
Yahshua dwells in us. Yahshua showed us what we should look like (As Moshe did also) at the
transfiguration – the GLORY should rise upon us, but in reality very few will
draw that near. Who will fast and pray and show Him with their action of faith-
they want intimacy with Him? Not many- most will talk the walk—but few will
show Him by their actions. The decision is ours alone.
Here are links again for study-GAZING INTO GLORY Dr.
Bruce Allen:
A link I also enjoyed- Set your affection on Heavenly
Things Neville Johnson:
Note below how His glory in us reveals we are the LIGHT
of the world- we must become transparent so that His glory will make us shine
like Yahshua shown and like Moshe shown from His presence! His GLORY in us—our
hope! They will come to our light- and we will be a demonstration of the POWER
OF YAHWEH- HIM in us- the hope of GLORY!
Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the GLORY (esteem) of יהוה has
risen upon you. Isaiah
60:2 “For look, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the
peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you.
Isaiah 60:3 “And the gentiles shall come to
your light 1, and sovereigns to the
brightness of your rising. Footnote: 1 Isaiah
60:19, 20, Revelation 21:23, 24 Isaiah 60:4
“Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have
come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the
side. Isaiah 60:5 “Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the
wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the gentiles come to you. His
glory in us!
Colossians 1:21 And you, who once were estranged and enemies
in the mind by wicked works, but now He has completely restored to favor Colossians 1:22
in the body of His flesh through death, to present you set-apart, and
blameless, and unreprovable before Him, Colossians
1:23 if indeed you continue in
the belief (If you believe Hebraically- you do- or you obey
Him- it is Faith in action), founded and steadfast, and are not moved away
from the expectation of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed to
every creature under the heaven, of which I, Sha’ul, became a servant, Colossians 1:24
who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what
is lacking in Messiah’s afflictions, for the sake of His Body, which is the
assembly, Colossians 1:25 of which I became a servant according to the
administration of Elohim which was given to me for you, to fill the word of
Elohim, Colossians 1:26 the secret which has been hidden from ages
and from generations, but now has been revealed to His set-apart ones, Colossians 1:27
to whom Elohim desired to make known what are the riches of the esteem
of this secret among the gentiles: which is Messiah in
you,1 the expectancy of GLORY (esteem), Footnote: 1 See Messiah
in you in the Explanatory Notes. Colossians
1:28 whom we announce, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom,
in order to present every man perfect in Messiah יהושע, Colossians
1:29 for which I also labor, striving according to the working of Him
who works in me in power.
Here
is some great advice- read and study Philippians 4- Keep
Calm and relax- everything will come into the light-- TRUTH will be
revealed!
Great thoughts! There are many exposing the dark deeds of a world and
its politics run by satanic elites. Most of us have known and agree with
the expose because the enemy has
no plans of blessing believers- ever- ha ha but he's not in charge. The
enemy
comes and shows us the hopelessness -the storm- (Likened to what he did to Peter as he walked on water) and wants
us to FOCUS on the storm and IMAGINE AND THINK ON THAT. We are not to be
ignorant of hasatan's devices- but we then should remember the greater one
resides in us--He is the hope of glory! What we imagine becomes our reality.
(Or else we would not be judged as adulterers for lusting for another in our
thoughts) As a man thinks- so is he. We must train our thoughts (Take them captive to the Gospel) and
guard our minds and our words. Our words are spirit- and come forth from what's
stored up in our hearts and minds- so we must take our thoughts captive. Our
words will bring us either life or death- that's why we will be held
accountable for ever idle or careless word we speak- for by our WORDS we will
be acquitted (Blessed) or by our
words we will be condemned (Cursed).
He has set before us all life and death- blessings and curses and then warns
us- CHOOSE LIFE!
Yes, loved one, we know whom we have believed and that He
is well able to finish the thing He started! Or many of us would have never ever
bought into what everyone called a scam of the Global Reset! This is
Deuteronomy 8:17-18-19 and 20. Pay close attention to all of those verses! What
they- the elite satanic globalists- HAVE to do to save their control and
tighten their grip on the world and its population; will allow us the wealth
transfer to DO THE GOSPEL even for places of REFUGE worldwide. Where
prayer, praise and provision even angelic protection from the wicked devices
and schemes of hell are unleashed on an unsuspecting and fast asleep world- the
church or body of Messiah must awaken from their slumber now and arise and
shine and become the light of this ever darkening world! We are to pray that we
be made worthy to escape all these things (Not a pre-tribulation rapture IMO)
and STAND at His appearing! If we keep His Feasts (These in Hebrew are APPOINTMENTS or Set Apart Seasons He has with His
people- they are the shadow pictures of the good things to come) it becomes
very clear that if or WHEN we are at the LAST Trump- then the Day of Judgment (Or atonement) comes 9 days later called
You Kippur. Those 7-8 days between Feast of Trumpets and Judgement Day- IMO are
when the bowls of wrath come forth and His wrath is not stored up for His
people) This time comes to test all who are alive on the whole earth to see who
the Bride really is- as He is not coming for a harlot bride and dying again for
her sin, He is coming for a BRIDE who makes herself ready- without spot or
blemish! We really need to grasp that there will be a people group who become
sons and daughters and are alive at the Last Trump- busy doing the Gospel and
about our Father's business- those who will walk like Yahshua walked! The
greater one is in us- we are to produce fruit that remains- He is preparing a
place or places IN THE WILDERNESS for us- and His glory will shine on us as we fear nothing!
Remember when we pray we must believe we have the thing we
ask for and we will have
whatsoever we SAY. Yahweh (As He
told Jeremiah) is watching over His word to perform it! The power of life
and death is in OUR tongues- not hasatan's tongue. Yahshua destroyed his works-
he has no power of his own- but Yahshua did not destroy our tongues- they have
power of life and death. When we believe FACTS are truth- we have agreed with
the god of this world and not the good report.
We must now all grow up spiritually and speak the promise
and words of Yahweh. Not the giants in the land (Problems and plan of hasatan) Do we see how walking according to
the facts is walking in the flesh? We must walk by the spirit or be useless to
Kingdom purposes and fall prey to the enemy's plans and schemes. How do we walk by the spirit and not the flesh? We fight the good fight
of faith (It's the only fight
required of us- Yahshua already won the war) We speak agreement with His
promises- He told us- My words are spirit and life and health and healing to
your flesh. We stand and have patience that after we have done the will of
Yahweh - we may receive His promise- but without standing (Faith with action) it is impossible to please Him- because He
cannot reward us based on need---or there would be no need on the planet- He
rewards those that diligently seek Him and understand that He is a rewarder of
those that trust Him! Thanks loved ones - you all are an awesome
team of believers who---NEVER GIVE UP! HalleluYAH!
Let's remember who we are -
those that OVERCOME. Let's not just know about Him but have intimacy with Him
in relationship! Shalom to your hearts and homes loved ones! Let's use this
time to draw very near to our King- He is worthy of our worship- we should seek
His face and be dancing unashamed as King David danced before Him!
Loved
One, my prayer for you and I today is that we have faith increased to match our
obedience and a willingness to humble ourselves to submit our tongues to the
Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide us into all truth and teach us of things to
come! That our prayers are given thanks for instead of continually asking- that
we show actions that indicate we believe the promises of Yahshua regardless of
the current storms and circumstances! HalleluYAH- that all our loved ones come
into the Kingdom forever! May they taste and see the LORD (YHWH) is good and
His mercy endures forever!
We must learn to seek YHWH for His love and compassion to download
to us; for others in our lives. Sometimes we only understand after returning
many times. We can read the Scriptures over and over and then out of nowhere it
seems, YHWH reveals new Truth to us! I can remember telling Yahshua once that
the job description of the angelic beings(Seraphim) flying around
the Throne Room in Heaven and saying holy, holy is YHWH might get boring after
a few thousand years. (Isaiah
6:1) In the year that
Sovereign Uzziyah (Uzziyah’s life at his
end was one filled with PRIDE; so we can see the hint Isaiah was showing- a
mystery- was that when pride dies we only then can see Yahweh- high and lifted
up! Same requirement will apply for us) died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted
up, and the train of His robe filled the Hĕḵal. (Temple) (Isaiah 6:2) Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six wings: with two he
covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. (Isaiah 6:3) And one cried to another and said, “Set-apart, set-apart,
set-apart is יהוה of hosts; all the earth is filled with His esteem!” (Comment:
Many versions declare holy, holy is YHWH) (Isaiah 6:4) And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him
who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. (Isaiah 6:5) And I said, “Woe to me, for I am undone! Because I am a man
of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips – for my
eyes have seen the sovereign, יהוה of hosts.” Then our loving King dropped in my
spirit that He reveals more of His glory to them every cycle around Him. (Comment:
glory according to Moses’ report was a revealing of more of His goodness and
mercy) This creates an instant surge of joy and enthusiasm in these angelic
beings! In like manner He reveals to us as more of Himself as we seek Him with
all our hearts. Why is this so important? Obviously in fiery trials and
testing’s we sometimes feel abandoned and at our end. Some even become
hope-less. We must join ourselves to Him by getting in His presence
and being restored- regularly!
(Romans 5:1) Therefore, having
been justified by faith, we have peace with YHWH through our Master Yahshua
Messiah, (Romans 5:2) through whom also we have obtained our
introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope
of the glory of YHWH. (Romans
5:3) And not only this, but
we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about
perseverance; (Romans 5:4) and perseverance, proven character; and
proven character, hope; (Romans
5:5) and hope does not
disappoint, because the love of YHWH has been poured out within our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Romans 5:6) While we were still helpless, (Hopeless also?) at
the right time Messiah died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:7) For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps
for the good man someone would dare even to die. (Romans 5:8) But YHWH demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we
were yet transgressors of Torah (sinners), Messiah died for
us. (Romans 5:9) Much more then, having now been justified
by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of YHWH through Him.
Yahshua
is, will be, and has always been the Word (Torah) even at Mt. Sinai!
(John 1:1) In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word
was Elohim. (John 1:2) He was in the beginning with
Elohim. (John 1:3) All came to be through Him, 1 and without Him not even one came to be that came to
be. Footnote: 1 Ephesians
3:9, Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 1:2, Hebrews 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Psalms
33:6. (John 1:4) In Him was life, and the life was the
light of men. (John 1:5) And the light shines in the darkness, and
the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:6) There was a man
sent from Elohim, whose name was Yoḥanan. (John 1:7) This one came for
a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all might believe through
him. (John 1:8) He was not that Light, but that he might
bear witness of that Light. (Yah Chanan or John- his name in Hebrew explains
what he was sent for- to teach repentance; as his name means Yah’s
Mercy) and you only
can receive it one way Loved One’- by REPENTING!
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) Oh 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: 1 See also 12:32, Proverbs 30:6, Revelation
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- 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!
Here is the TRUTH once again. You are family 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. Remember,
we are family IF we do the will of the Father as Yahshua said. 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 יהושע said to His taught ones, “If
anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his stake,
and follow Me. Matthew 16:25 “For whoever
wishes to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake
shall find it. Matthew 16:26 “For what is a man
profited if he gains all the world, and loses his own life? Or what shall a man
give in exchange for his life? 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.
How
do we hunger and thirst for righteousness?
(James 4:7) So then subject
(submit/humble) yourselves to Elohim. Resist the devil 1 and he shall flee from you. Footnote: 1 Or adversary. (James 4:8) Draw near to Elohim and He shall draw near to you. Cleanse
hands, sinners. And cleanse the hearts, you double-minded! (James 4:9) Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to
mourning and your joy to dejection. (James 4:10) Humble yourselves in the sight of
the Master, and He shall lift you up. You and I must change and receive
the engrafted word of LIFE, (HUMBLE OURSELVES) turn in repentance and OBEY HIM.
We can no longer say we love Him and not do what He says! (Luke 6:46) And why do
you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Do WE call Him Lord and Master
but not obey Him? Are we of those that think His LAW (Commentary:
Law was translated that but it is Torah-Instructions in Hebrew) is
done away with and ALL fulfilled? Hopefully, we will rethink that
position! Is Messiah reigning in Jerusalem? The Spring Feasts alone are fulfilled.
Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot were fulfilled
down to the day, hour and minute! He was the Passover Lamb, 3 days later the
High Priest was still in seclusion as was prescribed of the High Priest prior
to offering the thanksgiving for the first fruits of the Earth, when He
said “Don’t touch me
Mary, I have not yet ascended to My Father.” He is and was the High Priest! Seven
sevens (weeks) later He sent the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)
on Shavuot, the anniversary of giving the Torah (Law) at Mt. Sinai. He came the
first time to be Messiah Ben Joseph, the suffering
servant to be the Lamb of YHWH (God) sacrifice.
You know by now He is coming a second time very soon as Messiah
Ben David, the Reigning King! He will rule His Kingdom from
Jerusalem! Is He now ruling? NO. It is not all fulfilled! Let’s look at
what Yahshua said about the Law being done away with and WHEN
this will occur! (Matthew 5:17) Think not that I am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. (Matthew 5:18) For verily I say unto you, until heaven
and earth pass,
one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, until all be
fulfilled. (Matthew 5:19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven. (Comment- do you see it? Pasto , teacher and evangelist MISTER
OR MISS LEAST in the Kingdom who teach the Law or Instructions-Law is done away
with)
Even
to us casual observers, heaven and earth have not passed!
Let’s acknowledge that fact as a truth and return to Him as we study this
week’s portion and allow Him to restore ALL things- especially us!
(Jeremiah 30:3)
'For behold, days are coming,' declares YHWH, 'when I will
restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah.'
(Comment: this means you and I who are grafted into Israel by grace by faith
in Yahshua and are heirs now of Abraham according to the promise) YHWH
says, 'I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers
and they shall possess it.'" (Jeremiah 30:16) 'Therefore
all who devour you will be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of
them, will go into captivity; and those who plunder you will be for plunder, and
all who prey upon you I will give for prey. (Jeremiah 30:17) 'For I
will restore you to health and I will heal you of your wounds,' declares
YHWH, 'because they have called you an outcast, saying: "It is Zion; no
one cares for her."' (Jeremiah
30:18) "Thus says YHWH,
'Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob and
have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city will be rebuilt on its
ruin, and the palace will stand on its rightful place. (Jeremiah 30:19) 'From them will proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those
who celebrate; and I will multiply them and they will not be diminished; I will
also honor them and they will not be insignificant. (Jeremiah 30:20) 'Their children also will be as formerly, and their
congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all their
oppressors. (Jeremiah 30:21) 'Their leader shall be one of them, and
their ruler shall come forth from their midst; and I will bring him near and he
shall approach me; for who would dare to risk his life to approach me?'
declares YHWH. (Jeremiah 30:22) 'You shall be my people, and I will
be your Elohim.'"
WE
are the ones addressed below by James- (Ya’Akov- in Hebrew does NOT mean deceiver- it means grabber of the
heal- which he did as a baby to keep Esau from smashing his head) who are dispersed for accepting the pagan worship we
inherited- scattered all over the world- we repent to be RESTORED!
(James 1:1) Yaʽaqoḇ, a
servant of Elohim and of the Master יהושע Messiah, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion:
Greetings. (James 1:2) My brothers, count it all joy
when you fall into various trials, (James 1:3) knowing that the proving
of your belief (faith-trust) works endurance. (James 1:4) And let endurance have a perfect work, so that you be
perfect and complete, lacking in naught. (James 1:5) If any of you
lacks wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, who gives to all generously and without
reproach, and it shall be given to him. (James 1:6) But he should ask
in belief (faith-trust), not doubting, for he who doubts is like a
wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (James 1:7) For that man should not think that he shall receive whatever
from the Master – (James 1:8) he is a double-minded man, unstable in all
his ways. (James 1:9) And let the lowly brother boast in his
exaltation, (James 1:10) but the rich in his humiliation, because
as a flower of the field he shall pass away. (James 1:11) For the sun rose with burning heat, and withered the grass,
and its flower fell, and its pretty appearance perished. So also the rich man
shall fade away in his ways. (James 1:12) Blessed is the man
who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown
of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:13) Let no one say when he is enticed, “I am enticed by Elohim,”
for Elohim is not enticed by evil matters, and He entices no
one. (James 1:14) But each one is enticed when he is drawn
away by his own desires and trapped. (James 1:15) Then, when desire
has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished,
brings forth death. (James 1:16) Do not go astray, my beloved
brothers. (James 1:17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is
from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no
change, nor shadow of turning.1 Footnote: 1 See Malachi 3:6. (James 1:18) Having purposed it, He brought us forth by the Word of
truth, for us to be a kind of first-fruits of His creatures. (James 1:19) So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to
hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, (James 1:20) for the wrath of
man does not work the righteousness of Elohim. (James 1:21) Therefore put away all filthiness and overflow of evil, and
receive with meekness the implanted Word,1 which is able to
save your lives. Footnote: 1 See
Matthew 13:4-23. (James 1:22) And become doers of the Word, and not hearers only, 1 deceiving you. Footnote: 1 See Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 6:46-49, Luke
8:21, Romans 2:13, Hebrews 4:11, Revelation 22:14. (James 1:2) If anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like
a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, (James 1:24) for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately
forgets what he was like. (James
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: 1 See 2:12. (James 1:26) If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does
not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is
worthless. (VAIN) (James 1:27) Clean and undefiled religion
before the Elohim and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their
affliction and to keep ourselves unstained(unpolluted) from the world.
Understanding
our WORDS AND ACTIONS must agree with His from for our witness to be usable and
continue- OUR RESTORATION- let’s turn our hearts to this week’s Torah Cycle:
This
week’s Torah Scriptures:
Beshalach “When he sent/let go”
Exodus 13:17-17:16;
Judges 4:4-5:31; John 6:22-40
More
shadow picture of The Book of Revelation- (HalleluYAH- our Deliverer is coming!)
(Exodus 13:17) And
it came to be, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim did not lead
them by way of the land of the Philistines, though that was nearer, for Elohim
said, “Lest the people regret when they see fighting, and return to
Mitsrayim.” (Exodus 13:18) So Elohim led the people around by way of
the wilderness of the Sea of Reeds. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up armed
from the land of Mitsrayim. (Exodus 13:19) And
Mosheh took the bones of Yosĕph with him, for he certainly made the children of
Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit you, and you shall bring
my bones from here with you.” (Exodus 13:20) And
they departed from Sukkoth and camped in Ětham at the edge of the
wilderness. (Exodus 13:21) And יהוה went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead the
way, and by night in a column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day
and night. (Exodus 13:22) The column of cloud
did not cease by day or the column of fire by night, before the people.
We
will also be led by ways which seem strange and defenseless- our goal is to
Hear and Obey!
(Exodus 14:1) And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, (Exodus 14:2) “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they turn and
camp before Pi Haḥiroth, between Miḡdol and the sea, opposite Baʽal Tsephon –
camp before it by the sea. (Exodus 14:3) “For Pharaoh
shall say of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘they are entangled in the land, the
wilderness has closed them in.’ (Exodus 14:4) “And I shall
harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he shall pursue them. But I am to be esteemed
through Pharaoh and over all his army, and the Mitsrites shall know that I
am יהוה.” And they did so. (Exodus 14:5) And it was reported to the
