1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel's Rejection of Messiah. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
I tell the truth in Messiah. I am
not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain
in my heart.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed
from Messiah for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh,
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption,
the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Torah (teaching and instruction),
the service, and the promises;
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is
Messiah as concerning the flesh, who is over all, ELOHIM, blessed forever.
Amen.
6 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel's Rejection and ELOHIM's
Purpose. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
But it is not as though the word
of ELOHIM has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are
they all children. But, “In Isaac will your seed be called.”
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh
who are children of ELOHIM, but the children of the promise are counted as a
seed.
9 For this is a word of promise, “At the
appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by
one, by our father Isaac.
11 For being not yet born, neither having done
anything good or bad, that the purpose of ELOHIM according to election might
stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve
the younger.”
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but
Esau I hated.”
14 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel's Rejection and ELOHIM's
Justice. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
What shall we say then? Is there
unrighteousness with ELOHIM? May it never be!
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on
whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of
him who runs, but of ELOHIM who has mercy.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this
very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power,
and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires,
and he hardens whom he desires.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still
find fault? For who withstands his will?”
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply
against ELOHIM? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make
me like this?”
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay,
from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for
dishonor?
22 What if ELOHIM, willing to show his wrath,
and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made
for destruction,
23 and that he might make known the riches of
his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews
only, but also from the Gentiles?
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were
not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who
was not beloved.”
26 “It will be that in the place where it was
said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
There they will be called ‘children of the living ELOHIM!’”
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are
as the sand of the sea, it is the
remnant who will be saved;
28 for He will finish the work and cut it short
in righteousness, because YHWH will
make a short work upon the earth.”
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless ADONAI of Hosts had left us a
seed, we would have become like
Sodom, and would have been made like
Gomorrah.”
30 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Present Condition of Israel. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
What shall we say then? That the
Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness,
even the righteousness which is of faith;
31 but Israel, following after a Torah
(teaching and instruction) of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the Torah
(teaching and instruction) of righteousness.
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith,
but as it were by works of the Torah (teaching and instruction). They stumbled
over the stumbling stone;
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and
a rock of offense; and no one who
believes in him will be disappointed.”

“Bring Aaron your brother, and his
sons with him, near to you from among the children of Israel, that he may
minister to me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and
Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.
2 You shall make holy garments for Aaron your
brother, for glory and for beauty.
3 You shall speak to all who are wise-hearted,
whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments
to sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
4 These are the garments which they shall make:
a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, a turban,
and a sash: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his
sons, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
5 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Ephod. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
They shall take the gold, and the blue,
and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.
6 “They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue,
and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skillful workman.
7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined to
the two ends of it, that it may be joined together.
8 The skillfully woven band, which is on it,
that is on him, shall be like its work and of the same piece; of gold, of blue,
and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave
on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 six of their names on the one stone, and the
names of the six that remain on the other stone, in the order of their birth.
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like
the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the
names of the children of Israel: you shall make them to be enclosed in settings
of gold.
12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulder
straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and
Aaron shall bear their names before YHWH on his two shoulders for a memorial.
13 You shall make settings of gold,
14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make
them like cords of braided work: and you shall put the braided chains on the
settings.
15 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Breastplate. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
“You shall make a breastplate of
judgment, the work of the skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you
shall make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen,
you shall make it.
16 It shall be square and folded double; a span
shall be its length of it, and a span its breadth.
17 You shall set in it settings of stones, four
rows of stones: a row of ruby, topaz, and beryl shall be the first row;
18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire,
and an emerald;
19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and
an amethyst;
20 and the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx,
and a jasper: they shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.
21 The stones shall be according to the names
of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the
engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, they shall be for the
twelve tribes.
22 You shall make on the breastplate chains
like cords, of braided work of pure gold.
23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings
of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold
in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
25 The other two ends of the two braided chains
you shall put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the
ephod in its forepart.
26 You shall make two rings of gold, and you
shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which is toward
the side of the ephod inward.
27 You shall make two rings of gold, and shall
put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its forepart,
close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings
to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be on the skillfully
woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not swing out from the
ephod.
29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children
of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the
holy place, for a memorial before YHWH continually.
30 You shall put in the breastplate of judgment
the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron’s heart, when he goes in
before YHWH: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his
heart before YHWH continually.
31 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Other Priestly Garments. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
“You shall make the robe of the
ephod all of blue.
32 It shall have a hole for the head in its
midst: it shall have a binding of woven work around its hole, as it were the
hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.
33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of
blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, around its hem; and bells of gold between
and around them:
34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden
bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.
35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and its
sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy place before YHWH, and when he
comes out, that he not die.
36 “You shall make a plate of pure gold, and
engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, ‘HOLY TO YHWH!’
37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it
shall be on the sash; on the front of the sash it shall be.
38 It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall
bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall make
holy in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always on his forehead, that they
may be accepted before YHWH!
39 You shall weave the coat in checker work of
fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a
sash, the work of the embroiderer.
40 “You shall make coats for Aaron’s sons, and
you shall make sashes for them and you shall make headbands for them, for glory
and for beauty.
41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother,
and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and
sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
42 You shall make them linen breeches to cover
the flesh of their nakedness; from the waist even to the thighs they shall
reach:
43 They shall be on Aaron, and on his sons,
when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to
minister in the holy place; that they don’t bear iniquity, and die: it shall be
a statute forever to him and to his descendants after him.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Aaron and His Sons Consecrated.
.\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
“This is the thing that you shall
do to them to make them holy, to minister to me in the priest’s office: take
one young bull and two rams without blemish,
2 unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with
oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil: you shall make them of fine wheat
flour.
3 You shall put them into one basket, and bring
them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.
4 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the
door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
5 You shall take the garments, and put on Aaron
the coat, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and clothe him
with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;
6 and you shall set the turban on his head, and
put the holy crown on the turban.
7 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and
pour it on his head, and anoint him.
8 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on
them.
9 You shall clothe them with belts, Aaron and
his sons, and bind headbands on them: and they shall have the priesthood by a
perpetual statute: and you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.
10 “You shall bring the bull before the Tent of
Meeting: and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.
11 You shall kill the bull before YHWH, at the
door of the Tent of Meeting.
12 You shall take of the blood of the bull, and
put it on the horns of the altar with your finger; and you shall pour out all
the blood at the base of the altar.
13 You shall take all the fat that covers the
innards, the cover of the liver, the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them,
and burn them on the altar.
14 But the flesh of the bull, and its skin, and
its dung, you shall burn with fire outside of the camp: it is a sin offering.
15 “You shall also take the one ram; and Aaron
and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
16 You shall kill the ram, and you shall take
its blood, and sprinkle it around on the altar.
17 You shall cut the ram into its pieces, and
wash its innards, and its legs, and put them with its pieces, and with its
head.
18 You shall burn the whole ram on the altar:
it is a burnt offering to YHWH; it is a pleasant aroma, an offering made by
fire to YHWH!
19 “You shall take the other ram; and Aaron and
his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.
20 Then you shall kill the ram, and take some
of its blood, and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the tip
of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the
big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.
21 You shall take of the blood that is on the
altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron, and on his garments,
and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be made
holy, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
22 Also you shall take some of the ram’s fat,
the fat tail, the fat that covers the innards, the cover of the liver, the two
kidneys, the fat that is on them, and the right thigh (for it is a ram of
consecration),
23 and one loaf of bread, one cake of oiled
bread, and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before YHWH!
24 You shall put all of this in Aaron’s hands,
and in his sons’ hands, and shall wave them for a wave offering before YHWH!
25 You shall take them from their hands, and
burn them on the altar on the burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma before YHWH:
it is an offering made by fire to YHWH!
26 “You shall take the breast of Aaron’s ram of
consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before YHWH: and it shall be your
portion.
27 You shall sanctify the breast of the wave
offering, and the thigh of the wave offering, which is waved, and which is
heaved up, of the ram of consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of
that which is for his sons:
28 and it shall be for Aaron and his sons as
their portion forever from the children of Israel; for it is a wave offering:
and it shall be a wave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifices
of their peace offerings, even their wave offering to YHWH!
29 “The holy garments of Aaron shall be for his
sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them.
30 Seven days shall the son who is priest in
his place put them on, when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in
the holy place.
31 “You shall take the ram of consecration, and
boil its flesh in a holy place.
32 Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of
the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the door of the Tent of
Meeting.
33 They shall eat those things with which
atonement was made, to consecrate and sanctify them: but a stranger shall not
eat of it, because they are holy.
34 If anything of the flesh of the
consecration, or of the bread, remains to the morning, then you shall burn the
remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
35 “You shall do so to Aaron, and to his sons,
according to all that I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them seven
days.
36 Every day you shall offer the bull of sin
offering for atonement: and you shall cleanse the altar, when you make
atonement for it; and you shall anoint it, to sanctify it.
37 Seven days you shall make atonement for the
altar, and sanctify it: and the altar shall be most holy; whatever touches the
altar shall be holy.
38 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Daily Offerings. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
“Now this is that which you shall
offer on the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually.
39 The one lamb you shall offer in the morning;
and the other lamb you shall offer at evening:
40 and with the one lamb a tenth part of an
efah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the
fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.
41 The other lamb you shall offer at evening,
and shall do to it according to the meal offering of the morning, and according
to its drink offering, for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to YHWH!
42 It shall be a continual burnt offering
throughout your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before YHWH,
where I will meet with you, to speak there to you.
43 There I will meet with the children of
Israel; and the place shall be sanctified by my glory.
44 I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the
altar: Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify, to minister to me in the
priest’s office.
45 I will dwell among the children of Israel,
and will be their ELOHIM!
46 They shall know that I am YHWH their ELOHIM,
who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them:
I am YHWH their ELOHIM!
Romans
10.
1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel Needs the Good News. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
Brothers, my heart’s desire and my
prayer to ELOHIM is for Israel, that they may be saved.
2 For I testify about them that they have a
zeal for ELOHIM, but not according to knowledge.
3 For being ignorant of ELOHIM’s righteousness,
and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject_
themselves to the righteousness of ELOHIM!
4 For Messiah is the fulfillment of the Torah
(teaching and instruction) for righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 For Moses writes about the righteousness of
the Torah (teaching and instruction), “The one who does them will live by
them.”
6 But the righteousness which is of faith says
this, “Don’t say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to
bring Messiah down);
7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that
is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)”
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you,
in your mouth, and in your heart;” that is, the word of faith, which we
proclaim:
9 that if you will confess with your mouth that
YESHUA is ADONAI, and believe in your heart that ELOHIM raised him from the
dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart, one believes unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in
him will not be disappointed.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and
Greek; for the same ADONAI is ADONAI of all, and is rich to all who call on
him.
13 For, “Whoever will call on the name of
ADONAI will be saved.”
14 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel Rejects the Good News. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
How then will they call on him in
whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not
heard? How will they hear without a proclaimer?
15 And how will they proclaim unless they are
sent? As it is written: “How beautiful
are the feet of those who proclaim the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 But they didn’t all listen to the glad news.
For Isaiah says, “ADONAI, who has believed our report?”
17 So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by
the word of ELOHIM!
18 But I say, didn’t they hear? Yes, most
certainly, “Their sound went out into
all the earth, their words to the ends
of the world.”
19 But I ask, didn’t Israel know? First Moses
says, “I will provoke you to jealousy
with that which is no nation, with a
nation void of understanding I will make you angry.”
20 Isaiah is very bold, and says, “I was found by those who didn’t seek
me. I was revealed to those who didn’t
ask for me.”
21 But as to Israel he says, “All day long I stretched
out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”

Friday. Day 6 before Shabbat - Parasha Tetzaveh -
You Shall Command.
Ezekiel 43:10-27, Romans 11.
Haftarah:
Ezekiel
43:10-27.
10 You, son of man, show the house
to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let
them measure the pattern.
11 If they be ashamed of all that they have
done, make known to them the form of the house, and its fashion, and its exits,
and its entrances, and all its forms, and all its ordinances, and all its
forms, and all its Torah (teachings and instructions); and write it in their
sight; that they may keep the whole form of it, and all its ordinances, and do
them.
12 This is the Torah-instruction of the house:
on the top of the mountain the whole limit around it shall be most holy.
Behold, this is the Torah-instruction of the house.
13 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Dimensions of the Altar. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
These are the measures of the
altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a
cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and its border around its edge a span; and this
shall be the base of the altar.
14 From the bottom on the ground to the lower
ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge
to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
15 The upper altar shall be four cubits; and
from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns.
16 The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long
by twelve broad, square in the four sides of it.
17 The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by
fourteen broad in the four sides of it; and the border about it shall be half a
cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward
the east.
18 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Consecrating the Altar. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
He said to me, Son of man, thus
says ADONAI YHWH: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they
shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
19 You shall give to the priests the Levites
who are of the seed of Zadok, who are near to me, to minister to me, says
ADONAI YHWH, a young bull for a sin offering.
20 You shall take of its blood, and put it on
the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border
all around: thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.
21 You shall also take the bull of the sin
offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, outside of
the sanctuary.
22 On the second day you shall offer a male
goat without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as
they cleansed it with the bull.
23 When you have finished cleansing it, you
shall offer a young bull without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without
blemish.
24 You shall bring them near to YHWH, and the
priests shall cast salt on them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt
offering to YHWH!
25 Seven days you shall prepare every day a
goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bull, and a ram out of
the flock, without blemish.
26 Seven days shall they make atonement for the
altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.
27 When they have accomplished the days, it
shall be that on the eighth day, and forward, the priests shall make your burnt
offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, says
ADONAI YHWH!
Romans
11.
1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel's Rejection Not Total . .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
I ask then, did ELOHIM reject his
people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,
of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 ELOHIM didn’t reject his people, which he
foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads
with ELOHIM against Israel:
3 “ADONAI, they have killed your prophets, they
have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
4 But how does ELOHIM answer him? “I have
reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Even so then at this present time also there
is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of
works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no
longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that
he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
8 According as it is written, “ELOHIM gave them
a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should
not hear, to this very day.”
9 David says,
“Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may
not see. Bow down their back always.”
11 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel's Rejection Not Final. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
I ask then, did they stumble that
they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the
Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the
world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since
then as I am an emissary to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy
those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 For if the rejection of them is the
reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the
dead?
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump.
If the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if some of the branches were broken off,
and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker
with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree;
18 don’t boast over the branches. But if you
boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken
off, that I might be grafted in.”
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken
off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
21 for if ELOHIM didn’t spare the natural
branches, neither will he spare you.
22 See then the goodness and severity of
ELOHIM! Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you
continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their
unbelief, will be grafted in, for ELOHIM is able to graft them in again.
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by
nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive
tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into
their own olive tree?
25 For I don’t desire you to be ignorant,
brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that
a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles
has come in,
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it
is written, “There will come out of
Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn
away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins.”
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies
for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’
sake.
29 For the gifts and the calling of ELOHIM are
irrevocable.
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to
ELOHIM, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
31 even so these also have now been
disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
32 For ELOHIM has shut up all to disobedience,
that he might have mercy on all.
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the
wisdom and the knowledge of ELOHIM! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his
ways past tracing out!
34 “For who has known the mind of ADONAI? Or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are
all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

Saturday; Shabbat - Parasha Tetzaveh - You Shall
Command.
Romans 12.
Tetzaveh
(continued):
Romans
12.
1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Living Sacrifices to ELOHIM. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
Therefore I urge you, brothers, by
the mercies of ELOHIM, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to ELOHIM, which is your spiritual service.
2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the
good, well-pleasing, and perfect_ will of ELOHIM!
3 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Serve ELOHIM with Spiritual
Gifts. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
For I say, through the grace that
was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more
highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as ELOHIM has
apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
4 For even as we have many members in one body,
and all the members don’t have the same function,
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Messiah,
and individually members one of another.
6 Having gifts differing according to the grace
that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion
of our faith;
7 or service, let us give ourselves to service;
or he who teaches, to his teaching;
8 or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who
gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who
shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Behave Like a Netzarene. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.
Let love be without hypocrisy.
Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 In love of the brothers be tenderly
affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another;
11 not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit;
serving ADONAI;
12 rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles;
continuing steadfastly in prayer;
13 contributing to the needs of the holy ones;
given to hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and
don’t curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with
those who weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another.
Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate_ with the humble. Don’t be wise in
your own conceits.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is
honorable in the sight of all men.
18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to
you, be at peace with all men.
19 Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but
give place to ELOHIM’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I
will repay, says ADONAI.”
20 Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil
with good.
