Introduction to the תַּרְיַ"ג מִצְו۠ת the 613 Mitzvoth
Introduction to the תַּרְיַ"ג מִצְות the 613 Mitzvoth
These are based on the Torah (The first five books of our Scriptures) and comprise 248 positive Mitzvoth and 365 negative Mitzvoth.
מִצְוַת עֲשֵׂה = ‘a positive Mitzvah’ ‘do’
מִצְוַת לא תַעֲשֶׂה = ‘a negative Mitzvah’ ‘do not’.
But please pray (before reading these Mitswoth) for the fulfillment of His promises:
Jer 31:31 “See, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when I shall make a new covenant with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah1, Footnote: 1See Heb. 8:8-12, Heb. 10:16-17.
Jer 31:32 not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Mitsrayim, My covenant which they(Yisra’ĕl-Ephraim, Yudah-Jews) broke, though I was a husband to them,” declares יהוה.
Jer 31:33 “For this is the covenant I shall make with the house of Yisra’ĕl after those days, declares יהוה: I shall put My Torah in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.
Was this the happening when Yeshuah came in your life? Because it is written:
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.
Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with Elohim.
Joh 1:3 All came to be through Him,1 and without Him not even one came to be that came to be. Footnote: 1Eph. 3:9, Col. 1:16, Heb. 1:2, Heb. 11:3, 2 Peter 3:5, Ps. 33:6.
Please read your Bible, and let we ‘lesson.’ And stop with every one to go his ‘own way’. Or without the other, because your wish is that they come after you and giving you the honor. Please let us go all together after Yeshuah Rabbeinu, our Messiah and learn from Him. Giving Him the honor and lifting Him up,
Joh 8:28 So יהושע said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Aḏam, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do none at all of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these words I speak.
Than you lift up The Living Word of Abba YHWH….
‘Moshe said, ‘And Elohim spoke……. ’ you find this 193 times in the Tenach. ‘And Elohim said…….’ you find it 2153 times in the Tenach. Please read what ‘Elohim spoke and said’. And……, are His Words written on your heart?
O Ephraim and Yudah! Read with that knowledge the whole book ‘HaBerithHaChadasha’ (New Testament).
So who is ‘I am He’ …..?
Isa 41:4 “Who has performed and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? ‘I, יהוה, am the first, and with the last I am He.’ ”
Exo 3:14 And Elohim said to Mosheh, “I am that which I am.”1 And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ” Footnote: 1The Heḇrew text reads: ’eyeh ’asher ’eyeh, the word ’eyeh being derived from hayah which means to be, to exist, but the Aramaic text here in v. 14 reads: ayah ashar ayah. This is not His Name, but it is an explanation that leads up to the revelation of His Name in v. 15, namely: יהוה.
Exo 3:15 And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘יהוה Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Aḇraham, the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.’
O Ephraim when Christianity (90% of Christianity is Ephraim) started, it was not based on ‘His Torah in your inward parts’ it was not based on ‘what is written on your heart’. Some of you really think it is ‘replacement’ from what was. Some went so far to say and did complete ‘replacement’ from the Shabbath and Yom-Tovim (even ‘replacement’ of the Jews!!!!!!) that Abba gave us. Yes, you ‘organized’ your own festivals, as a replacement of Abba’s appointed times. And of what Abba says what is right or wrong. Like we did it before, do you remember?
This is what Eddy Gimney wrote about it. I think it is not far from the truth,
‘EPHRAIM (NORTHERN KINGDOM) IS A SPIRITUAL PICTURE OF CHRISTIANITY
Ephraim (Northern Kingdom is a spiritual picture of future Christianity. How is this so?
1. Ephraim was adopted into Jacob’s family. Believers in the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshuah/Jesus are adopted into the family of the G-d of Israel (Romans 8:14-17, 22-23, Galatians 4:4-6).
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are sons of Elohim.
Rom 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of Elohim,
Rom 8:17 and if children, also heirs – truly heirs of Elohim, and co-heirs with Messiah, if indeed we suffer with Him, in order that we also be exalted together.
Rom 8:22 For we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
Rom 8:23 And not only so, but even we ourselves who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
Gal 4:4 But when the completion of the time came, Elohim sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under Torah,
Gal 4:5 to redeem those who were under Torah, in order to receive the adoption as sons.
Gal 4:6 And because you are sons, Elohim has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”
2. Ephraim is the Strong’s word 669 and means "double fruit." The G-d of Israel promised Abraham that his descendants would be exceedingly fruitful (Genesis [Bereishit] 17:6
Exo 17:6 “See, I am standing before you there on the rock in Ḥorĕḇ. And you shall smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people shall drink.” And Mosheh did so before the eyes of the elders of Yisra’ĕl.
3. This alludes to the fact that Ephraim (the house of Israel/Christianity) would be numerically greater than the house of Judah (Judaism).
4. Ephraim is the masculine word in Hebrew for the female equivalent Ephratah. Ephratah is another name for Bethlehem and is the place where the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus was born (Micah 5:2
Mic 5:2 “But you, Bĕyth Leḥem Ephrathah, you who are little among the clans of Yehuḏah, out of you shall come forth to Me the One to become Ruler in Yisra’ĕl. And His comings forth1 are of old, from everlasting.” Footnote: 1Or His appearances.
Matthew (Mattityahu) 2:1-6).:
Mat 2:1 And יהושע having been born in Bĕyth Leḥem of Yehuḏah in the days of Herodes the sovereign, see, Magi from the East came to Yerushalayim,
Mat 2:2 saying, “Where is He who has been born Sovereign of the Yehuḏim? For we saw His star in the East and have come to do reverence to Him.”
Mat 2:3 And Herodes the sovereign, having heard, was troubled, and all Yerushalayim with him.
Mat 2:4 And having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.
Mat 2:5 And they said to him, “In Bĕyth Leḥem of Yehuḏah, for thus it has been written by the prophet,
Mat 2:6 ‘But you, Bĕyth Leḥem, in the land of Yehuḏah, you are by no means least among the rulers of Yehuḏah, for out of you shall come a Ruler who shall shepherd My people Yisra’ĕl.’ ”1 Footnote: 1Mic. 5:2.
5. Ephraim is a term for the Northern Kingdom of Israel who forsook the Torah of the G-d of Israel by calling the Torah "a strange thing." So has historical Christianity (Hosea [Hoshea] 8:12).:
Hos 8:12 “I have written for him numerous matters of My Torah – they were regarded as strange.
Ephraim, the Northern Kingdom, instituted a substitute place of worship (Dan and Bethel) rather than Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) (I Kings [Melachim] 12:29,
1Ki 12:29 And he set up one in Bĕyth Ěl, and the other he put in Dan.
Deuteronomy [Devarim] 16:16).
Deu 16:16 “Three times a year all your males appear before יהוה your Elohim in the place which He chooses: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and at the Festival of Weeks, and at the Festival of Booths. And none should appear before יהוה empty-handed,
When Christianity departed from her Jewish roots, she began to worship in a church rather than a synagogue where the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus worshiped (Luke 4:16).
Luk 4:16 And He came to Natsareth, where He had been brought up. And according to His practice, He went into the congregation (the synagogue KJV, sunagwghn - Strongs, G4864 sunagoge soon-ag-o-gay' from (the reduplicated form of) G4863; an assemblage of persons; specially, a Jewish "synagogue" (the meeting or the place); by analogy, a Christian church:--assembly, congregation, synagogue.) on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
6. Ephraim, the Northern Kingdom, instituted substitute holidays (I Kings [Melachim] 12:32-33)
1Ki 12:32 And Yaroḇʽam performed a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival that was in Yehuḏah, and he offered on the altar. So he did at Bĕyth Ěl, slaughtering to the calves that he had made. And at Bĕyth Ěl he appointed the priests of the high places which he had made.
1Ki 12:33 And he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bĕyth Ěl on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised in his own heart. And he performed a festival for the children of Yisra’ĕl, and offered on the altar and burned incense.
Rather than observing the dates and times of the Biblical holidays that the G-d of Israel gave to His people in Leviticus (Vayikra) 23. Christianity has adopted the original pagan holidays of Christmas and Easter from Roman Mythraism rather than keeping the Biblical holidays in Leviticus (Vayikra) 23.
7. Ephraim, the Northern Kingdom, instituted a substitute priesthood rather than have priests from the tribe of Levi (I Kings [Melachim] 12:31). Christianity allows pastors and priests to be ministers of the sheep of the G-d of Israel who are not anointed and called by the G-d of Israel into their office or ministry.
8. Ephraim, the Northern Kingdom, mixed paganism with the true worship of the G-d of Israel and called it the true worship of the G-d of Israel. The G-d of Israel called this the golden calf system of worship (I Kings [Melachim] 12:28). Historical Christianity has mixed Roman and Babylonian practices and beliefs with the true worship of the G-d of Israel and calls this mixture true worship of the G-d of Israel.
2Ki 18:9 And it came to be in the fourth year of Sovereign Ḥizqiyahu, which was the seventh year of Hoshĕa son of Ělah, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, that Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur came up against Shomeron and besieged it,
2Ki 18:10 and they captured it at the end of three years. In the sixth year of Ḥizqiyah, that is the ninth year of Hoshĕa sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, Shomeron was captured.
2Ki 18:11 And the sovereign of Ashshur exiled Yisra’ĕl to Ashshur, and placed them in Ḥalaḥ and Ḥaḇor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
2Ki 18:12 because they did not obey the voice of יהוה their Elohim, but transgressed His covenant – all that Mosheh the servant of יהוה had commanded. And they did not obey nor do them.
Abba say clearly, but many forgot it……… . (I like to say, now is this day!)
Jer 31:6 “For there shall be a day when the watchmen cry on Mount Ephrayim, ‘Arise, and let us go up to Tsiyon, to יהוה our Elohim.’ ”
Jer 31:7 For thus said יהוה, “Sing with gladness for Yaaqoḇ, and shout among the chief of the nations. Cry out, give praise, and say, ‘O יהוה, save Your people, the remnant of Yisra’ĕl!’
Jer 31:8 “See, I am bringing them from the land of the north, and shall gather them from the ends of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, those with child and those in labour, together – a great assembly returning here.
Jer 31:9 “With weeping they shall come, and with their prayers I bring them. I shall make them walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they do not stumble. For I shall be a Father to Yisra’ĕl, and Ephrayim – he is My first-born.
Jer 31:10 “Hear the word of יהוה, O gentiles, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered Yisra’ĕl gathers him, and shall guard him as a shepherd his flock.’
Yochanan was right! You don’t think so?
Joh 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
And we (Jews and Ephraim!), ‘build’ up something totally different then where Abba spoke about…..
How can there be really forgiveness? (He says to Jew and Ephraim):
Jer 31:34-40 “And no longer shall they teach, each one his neighbour, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know יהוה,’ for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares יהוה. “For I shall forgive their crookedness, and remember their sin no more.”
How….?
Joh 3:16 “For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 “For Elohim did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 “He who believes in Him is not judged, but he who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only brought-forth Son of Elohim.
Abba YHWH accepts the Corban (offer) of Yeshuah to forgive it all what we did wrong.
To approved it, He showed in your heart that Yeshuah is alive like the Torah is alive in your heart.
Jer 31:35 Thus said יהוה, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the laws of the moon and the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, and its waves roar – יהוה of hosts is His Name:
Jer 31:36 “If these laws vanish from before Me,” declares יהוה, “then the seed of Yisra’ĕl shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.” (There is nobody who can change that!)
Jer 31:37 Thus said יהוה, “If the heavens above could be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I would also cast off all the seed of Yisra’ĕl for all that they have done,” declares יהוה. (And that is a lot Jew and Ephraim alike, but :)
Jer 31:38 “See, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “that the city shall be built for יהוה from the Tower of Ḥanan’ĕl to the Corner Gate.
Jer 31:39 “And the measuring line shall again extend straight ahead to the hill Garĕḇ, then it shall turn toward Goʽah.
Jer 31:40 “And all the valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the wadi Qiḏron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, is to be set-apart to יהוה. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
Do you believe that? Abba is really talking to us about real restoration. That is going on in what we call the Hebraic Root movement….. .
So please:
Let us come together in Prayer (by singing/praying The Song of Moshe and The Song of The Lamb) and Teshuvah in the Love of Yeshuath YHWH. Yehudah (In welcoming Ephraim in the Love of Abba YHWH and taking of Yeshu, in obeying His Voice.), Ephraim (In taking of your jalousie, and coming back to His Torah in real Love to Yudah) and all 'the called out ones',
Yochanan said,
Mat 3:2 and saying, “Repent, for the reign of the heavens has come near!”
Yeshuah said,
Mat 4:17 From that time יהושע began to proclaim and to say, “Repent, for the reign of the heavens has drawn near.”
Mat 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
Mat 5:10 “Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness’1 sake, because theirs is the reign of the heavens. Footnote: 11Pet. 3:14.
1Pe 3:14 But even if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed.1 “And do not fear their threats, neither be troubled.”Footnote: 1Mt. 5:10.
Mat 5:19 “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
Mat 6:10 let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Mat 6:13 ‘And do not lead us into trial,1 but deliver us from the wicked one – because Yours is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amĕn.’ Footnote: 1See 26:41.
Mat 6:33 “But seek first the reign of Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these matters shall be added to you.
Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ shall enter into the reign of the heavens, but he who is doing the desire of My Father in the heavens.
Please read your Bible, and let us come together in the Name of Rabbeinu Yeshuah, our Messiah. Please let us pray,
Until comes in fulfillment,
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David (The whole House of Israel, Jews and Ephraim), and upon the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they (Yudah and Ephraim!) shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourned for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. (Abba’s corban (offer) what really brings us ‘closer’ to Elohim. Brings, real forgiveness from our sins. Read your Bible.)
And, let we learn,
Pro 30:6 Do not add to His Words1, Lest He reprove you, Footnote: 1Dt. 4:2 & 12:32, Rev. 22:18-19. and you be found a liar.
Deu 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:
Deu 12:32 “All the words I am commanding you, guard to do it – do not add to it nor take away from it.1 Footnote: 1See also 4:2, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.
Lev 20:22 ‘And you shall guard all My laws and all My right-rulings, and do them, so that the land where I am bringing you to dwell does not vomit you out.
Rev 22:14 “Blessed are those1 doing His commands,2 so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city. Footnotes: 1See Mt. 19:17. 2Long before the books were compiled to form “The New Testament,” Rev. 22:14 was quoted, as it is here given, by Tertullian (CE 208), and by Cyprian (CE 251) – see the well-known Antenicene Fathers.
Rev 22:15 “But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and do falsehood.1 Footnote: 1See 21:27, 2 Thess. 2:11.
Rev 22:16 “I, יהושע, have sent My messenger to witness to you these matters in the assemblies. I am the Root and the Offspring of Dawiḏ,1 the Bright and Morning Star.” Footnote: 1Isa. 11:1 & 10, Rev. 5:5.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And he who hears, let him say, “Come!” And he who thirsts, come! And he who desires it, take the water of life without paying!
Rev 22:18 For I witness to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, Elohim shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book,
Rev 22:19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Elohim shall take away his part from the Book of Life, and out of the set-apart city, which are written in this Book.
Rev 22:20 He that bears witness of these matters says, “Yes, I am coming speedily.” Amĕn. Yes, come, Master יהושע!
Rev 22:21 The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with the set-apart ones. Amĕn.
Isa 45:22
“Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am Ěl, and there is none else.
