11 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Ransom Money. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to YHWH, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.
13 They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary; (the shekel is twenty gerahs;) half a shekel for an offering to YHWH!
14 Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to YHWH!
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of YHWH, to make atonement for your souls.
16 You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before YHWH, to make atonement for your souls.”

17 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Bronze Laver. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19 Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it.
20 When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to YHWH!
21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”

22 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Holy Anointing Oil. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Moreover YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Also take fine spices: of liquid myrrh, five hundred shekels; and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, even two hundred and fifty; and of fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
24 and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary; and a hin of olive oil.
25 You shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 You shall use_ it to anoint the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony,
27 the table and all its articles, the menorah and its accessories, the altar of incense,
28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its base.
29 You shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
30 You shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office.
31 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.
32 It shall not be poured on man’s flesh, neither shall you make any like it, according to its composition: it is holy. It shall be holy to you.
33 Whoever compounds_ any like it, or whoever puts any of it on a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.’”

34 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Incense. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

YHWH said to Moses, “Take to yourself sweet spices, gum resin, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be an equal weight;
35 and you shall make incense of it, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy:
36 and you shall beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be to you most holy.
37 The incense which you shall make, according to its composition you shall not make for yourselves: it shall be to you holy for YHWH!
38 Whoever shall make any like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.”

Exodus 31.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Artisans for Building the Tabernacle. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of ELOHIM, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
4 to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6 I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
8 the table and its vessels, the pure menorah with all its vessels, the altar of incense,
9 the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,
10 the finely worked garments the holy garments for Aaron the priest the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office,
11 the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Sabbath Teaching and Instruction. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am YHWH who sanctifies you.
14 You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to YHWH! Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
18 He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with ELOHIM’s finger.

Monday. Day 2 before Shabbat - Parasha Ki Tisa - When You Take.

Exodus 32, Romans 13.

KiTisa (continued):

Exodus 32.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Gold Calf. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us idol_gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.”
2 Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4 He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, “These are your idol_gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to YHWH!”
6 They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 YHWH spoke to Moses, “Go, get down; for your people, who you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!
8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your idol_gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
9 YHWH said to Moses, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
11 Moses begged YHWH his ELOHIM, and said, “YHWH, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, ‘He brought them forth for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth?’ Turn from your fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against your people.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
14 YHWH repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.
15 Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
16 The tablets were the work of ELOHIM, and the writing was the writing of ELOHIM, engraved on the tables.
17 When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”
18 He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”
19 It happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
20 He took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
21 Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”
22 Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my master grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
23 For they said to me, ‘Make us idol_gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
24 I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off:’ so they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 When Moses saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies),
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on YHWH’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27 He said to them, “Thus says YHWH, the ELOHIM of Israel, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”
28 The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29 Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to YHWH, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow on you a blessing this day.”
30 It happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to YHWH! Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”
31 Moses returned to YHWH, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves idol_gods of gold.
32 Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”
33 YHWH said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
34 Now go, lead_ the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 YHWH struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

Romans 13.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Submit to Government . .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from ELOHIM, and those who exist are ordained by ELOHIM!
2 Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of ELOHIM; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
4 for he is a servant of ELOHIM to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of ELOHIM, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of ELOHIM’s service, attending continually on this very thing.
7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.

8 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Love Your Neighbor. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Torah (teaching and instruction).
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not give false testimony,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the Torah (teaching and instruction).

11 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Put on Messiah. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
13 Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
14 But put on ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

Tuesday. Day 3 before Shabbat - Parasha Ki Tisa - When You Take.

Exodus 33, .

KiTisa (continued):

Exodus 33.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Command to Leave Sinai. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

YHWH spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your seed.’
2 I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
3 to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you in the way.”
4 When the people heard this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
5 YHWH said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into your midst for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”
6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

7 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Moses Meets with YHWH. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” It happened that everyone who sought YHWH went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
8 It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
9 It happened, when Moses entered into the Tent, that the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.
10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
11 YHWH spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart out of the Tent.

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Promise of ELOHIM's Presence. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Moses said to YHWH, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people:’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’
13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.”
14 He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
15 He said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
16 For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”
17 YHWH said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”
18 He said, “Please show me your glory.”
19 He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of YHWH before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”
20 He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
21 YHWH also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
22 It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
23 then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”

Wednesday. Day 4 before Shabbat - Parasha Ki Tisa - When You Take.

Exodus 34:1-35, .

KiTisa (continued):

Exodus 34:1-35.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Moses Makes New Tablets. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

YHWH said to Moses, “Chisel two stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
2 Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.
3 No one shall come up with you; neither let anyone be seen throughout all the mountain; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mountain.”
4 He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as YHWH had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.
5 YHWH descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of YHWH!
6 YHWH passed by before him, and proclaimed, “YHWH! YHWH, a merciful and gracious ELOHIM, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth,
7 keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”
8 Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.
9 He said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, ADONAI, please let ADONAI go in the midst of us; although this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”

10 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Covenant Renewed. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

He said, “Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you are shall see the work of YHWH; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.
11 Observe that which I command you this day. Behold, I drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare in the midst of you:
13 but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherim;
14 for you shall worship no other idol_god: for YHWH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous ELOHIM!
15 “Don’t make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their idol_gods, and sacrifice to their idol_gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;
16 and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their idol_gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their idol_gods.
17 “You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.
18 “You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
19 “All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow and sheep.
20 The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. No one shall appear before me empty.
21 “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
22 “You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year’s end.
23 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before ADONAI YHWH, the ELOHIM of Israel.
24 For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before YHWH, your ELOHIM, three times in the year.
25 “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover be left to the morning.
26 “You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of YHWH your ELOHIM! “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
27 YHWH said to Moses, “Write you these words: for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
28 He was there with YHWH forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

29 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Shining Face of Moses. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

It happened, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mountain, that Moses didn’t know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.
30 When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.
31 Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.
32 Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all of the commandments that YHWH had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
33 When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
34 But when Moses went in before YHWH to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
35 The children of Israel saw Moses’ face, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Thursday . Day 5 before Shabbat - Parasha Ki Tisa - When You Take.

1 Kings 18:20-39, Romans 14.

KiTisa (continued):

Haftarah:

1 Kings 18:20-39.

20 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Elijah's Mount Carmel Victory. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to Mount Carmel.
21 Elijah came near to all the people, and said, “How long will you waver between the two sides? If YHWH is ELOHIM, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” The people answered him not a word.
22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I, even I only, am left a prophet of YHWH; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred fifty men.
23 Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it.
24 You call on the name of your idol_god, and I will call on the name of YHWH! The ELOHIM who answers by fire, let him be ELOHIM!” All the people answered, “It is well said.”
25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your idol_god, but put no fire under it.”
26 They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any who answered. They leaped about the altar which was made.
27 It happened at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, “Cry aloud; for he is a idol_god. Either he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.”
28 They cried aloud, and cut themselves in their way with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.
29 It was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the offering; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any who regarded.
30 Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me;” and all the people came near to him. He repaired the altar of YHWH that was thrown down.
31 Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of YHWH came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”
32 With the stones he built an altar in the name of YHWH! He made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain two measures of seed.
33 He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood.”
34 He said, “Do it a second time;” and they did it the second time. He said, “Do it a third time;” and they did it the third time.
35 The water ran around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water.
36 It happened at the time of the offering of the offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, “YHWH, the ELOHIM of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are ELOHIM in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.
37 Hear me, YHWH, hear me, that this people may know that you, YHWH, are ELOHIM, and that you have turned their heart back again.”
38 Then the fire of YHWH fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39 When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, “YHWH, he is ELOHIM! YHWH, he is ELOHIM!”

Romans 14.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Teaching and Instruction of Liberty. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.
2 One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.
3 Don’t let him who eats despise him who doesn’t eat. Don’t let him who doesn’t eat judge him who eats, for ELOHIM has accepted him.
4 Who are you who judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Yes, he will be made to stand, for ELOHIM has power to make him stand.
5 One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.
6 He who observes the day, observes it to ADONAI; and he who does not observe the day, to ADONAI he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to ADONAI, for he gives ELOHIM thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to ADONAI he doesn’t eat, and gives ELOHIM thanks.
7 For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
8 For if we live, we live to ADONAI! Or if we die, we die to ADONAI! If therefore we live or die, we are ADONAI’s.
9 For to this end Messiah died, rose, and lived again, that he might be ADONAI of both the dead and the living.
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Messiah.
11 For it is written, “‘As I live,’ says ADONAI, ‘to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to ELOHIM!’”
12 So then each one of us will give account of himself to ELOHIM!
13 Therefore let’s not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother’s way, or an occasion for falling.

14 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Teaching and Instruction of Love. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I know, and am persuaded in ADONAI YESHUA, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Messiah died.
16 Then don’t let your good be slandered,
17 for the Kingdom of ELOHIM is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 For he who serves Messiah in these things is acceptable to ELOHIM and approved by men.
19 So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.
20 Don’t overthrow ELOHIM’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.
21 It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.
22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before ELOHIM! Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.
23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

Friday. Day 6 before Shabbat - Parasha Ki Tisa - When You Take.

Romans 15, .

KiTisa (continued):

Romans 15.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Bearing Others' Burdens. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
3 For even Messiah didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5 Now the ELOHIM of patience and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Messiah YESHUA,
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the ELOHIM and Father of our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah.

7 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Glorify ELOHIM Together. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Therefore accept one another, even as Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of ELOHIM!
8 Now I say that Messiah has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of ELOHIM, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify ELOHIM for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore will I give praise to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.”
10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11 Again, “Praise ADONAI, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
12 Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
13 Now may the ELOHIM of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. From Jerusalem to Illyricum. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
15 But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by ELOHIM,
16 that I should be a servant of Messiah YESHUA to the Gentiles, serving as a priest the Good News of ELOHIM, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 I have therefore my boasting in Messiah YESHUA in things pertaining to ELOHIM!
18 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Messiah worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of ELOHIM’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Messiah;
20 yes, making it my aim to proclaim the Good News, not where Messiah was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”

22 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Plan to Visit Rome. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
24 whenever I journey to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the holy ones.
26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the holy ones who are at Jerusalem.
27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in fleshly things.
28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
29 I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Messiah.
30 Now I beg you, brothers, by our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah, and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to ELOHIM for me,
31 that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the holy ones;
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of ELOHIM, and together with you, find rest.
33 Now the ELOHIM of peace be with you all. Amen.

Saturday; Shabbat - Parasha Ki Tisa - When You Take.

Romans 16, .

KiTisa (continued):

Romans 16.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Sister Phoebe Commended. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a shammash of the assembly that is at Cenchreae,
2 that you receive her in ADONAI, in a way worthy of the holy ones, and that you assist her in whatever matter she may need from you, for she herself also has been a helper of many, and of my own self.

3 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Greeting Roman Holy Persons. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Messiah YESHUA,
4 who for my life, laid down their own necks; to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the Gentiles.
5 Greet the assembly that is in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the first fruits of Achaia to Messiah.
6 Greet Mary, who labored much for us.
7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the emissaries, who also were in Messiah before me.
8 Greet Amplias, my beloved in ADONAI!
9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Messiah, and Stachys, my beloved.
10 Greet Apelles, the approved in Messiah. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.
11 Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet them of the household of Narcissus, who are in ADONAI!
12 Greet Tryphaena and Tryphosa, who labor in ADONAI! Greet Persis, the beloved, who labored much in ADONAI!
13 Greet Rufus, the chosen in ADONAI, and his mother and mine.
14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.
15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy ones who are with them.
16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. The assemblies of Messiah greet you.

17 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Avoid Divisive Persons. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.
18 For those who are such don’t serve our ADONAI, YESHUA the Messiah, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
19 For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.
20 And the ELOHIM of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah be with you.

21 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Greetings from Paul's Friends. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.
22 I, Tertius, who write the letter, greet you in ADONAI!
23 Gaius, my host and host of the whole assembly, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, as does Quartus, the brother.
24 The grace of our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah be with you all! Amen.

25 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Benediction. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Now to him who is able to establish you according to my Good News and the proclaiming of YESHUA the Messiah, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret through long ages,
26 but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal ELOHIM, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations;
27 to the only wise ELOHIM, through YESHUA the Messiah, to whom be the glory forever! Amen.
