Leviticus 1.

1 . The Burnt Offering. .                 Leviticus!

YHWH called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When anyone of you offers an offering to YHWH, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.
3 “‘If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before YHWH!
4 He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
5 He shall kill the bull before YHWH! Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
6 He shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.
7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;
8 and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;
9 but its innards and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to YHWH!
10 “‘If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before YHWH! Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.
12 He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar,
13 but the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to YHWH!
14 “‘If his offering to YHWH is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar;
16 and he shall take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes.
17 He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to YHWH!

Monday - Day 2 before Shabbat - Parasha Vayikra - And He Called.

Leviticus 2,  1 Corinthians 11.

 

Leviticus 2.

1 . The Grain Offering. .

“‘When anyone offers an offering of a meal offering to YHWH, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense on it.
2 He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons, the priests; and he shall take his handful of its fine flour, and of its oil, with all its frankincense; and the priest shall burn its memorial on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to YHWH!
3 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a most holy thing of the offerings of YHWH made by fire.
4 “‘When you offer an offering of a meal offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
5 If your offering is a meal offering of the griddle, it shall be of unleavened fine flour, mixed with oil.
6 You shall cut it in pieces, and pour oil on it. It is a meal offering.
7 If your offering is a meal offering of the pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
8 You shall bring the meal offering that is made of these things to YHWH: and it shall be presented to the priest, and he shall bring it to the altar.
9 The priest shall take from the meal offering its memorial, and shall burn it on the altar, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to YHWH!
10 That which is left of the meal offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. It is a thing most holy of the offerings of YHWH made by fire.
11 “‘No meal offering, which you shall offer to YHWH, shall be made with yeast; for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, as an offering made by fire to YHWH!
12 As an offering of firstfruits you shall offer them to YHWH: but they shall not ascend for a pleasant aroma on the altar.
13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your ELOHIM to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.
14 “‘If you offer a meal offering of first fruits to YHWH, you shall offer for the meal offering of your first fruits grain in the ear parched with fire, bruised grain of the fresh ear.
15 You shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense on it: it is a meal offering.
16 The priest shall burn as its memorial, part of its bruised grain, and part of its oil, along with all its frankincense: it is an offering made by fire to YHWH!

 

1 Corinthians 11.

1 Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Messiah.


2 . Head Coverings. .

Now I praise you, brothers, that you remember me in all things, and hold firm the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is ELOHIM!
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.
5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head. For it is one and the same thing as if she were shaved.
6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of ELOHIM, but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man;
9 for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10 For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in ADONAI.
12 For as woman came from man, so a man also comes through a woman; but all things are from ELOHIM!
13 Judge for yourselves. Is it appropriate that a woman pray to ELOHIM unveiled?
14 Doesn’t even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given to her for a covering.
16 But if any man seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do ELOHIM’s assemblies.


17 . Conduct at YHWH's Supper. .

But in giving you this command, I don’t praise you, that you come together not for the better but for the worse.
18 For first of all, when you come together in the assembly, I hear that divisions exist among you, and I partly believe it.
19 For there also must be factions among you, that those who are approved may be revealed among you.
20 When therefore you assemble yourselves together, it is not ADONAI’s supper that you eat.
21 For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 What, don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in? Or do you despise ELOHIM’s assembly, and put them to shame who don’t have? What shall I tell you? Shall I praise you? In this I don’t praise you.


23 . Institution of YHWH's Supper. .

For I received from ADONAI that which also I delivered to you, that ADONAI YESHUA on the night in which he was betrayed took bread.
24 When he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body, which is broken for you. Do this in memory of me.”
25 In the same way he also took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink, in memory of me.”
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim ADONAI’s death until he comes.


27 . Examine Yourself. .

Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks ADONAI’s cup in a way unworthy of ADONAI will be guilty of the body and the blood of ADONAI.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn’t discern ADONAI’s body.
30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are punished by ADONAI, that we may not be condemned with the world.
33 Therefore, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.
34 But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest your coming together be for judgment. The rest I will set in order whenever I come.

Tuesday - Day 3 before Shabbat - Parasha Vayikra - And He Called.

Leviticus 3,  1 Corinthians 12.

 

Leviticus 3.

1 . The Peace Offering. .

“‘If his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings; if he offers it from the herd, whether male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before YHWH!
2 He shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron’s sons, the priests shall sprinkle the blood around on the altar.
3 He shall offer of the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to YHWH; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
4 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.
5 Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt offering, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to YHWH!
6 “‘If his offering for a sacrifice of peace offerings to YHWH is from the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish.
7 If he offers a lamb for his offering, then he shall offer it before YHWH;
8 and he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.
9 He shall offer from the sacrifice of peace offerings an offering made by fire to YHWH; its fat, the entire tail fat, he shall take away close to the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards,
10 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.
11 The priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to YHWH!
12 “‘If his offering is a goat, then he shall offer it before YHWH:
13 and he shall lay his hand on its head, and kill it before the Tent of Meeting; and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.
14 He shall offer from it as his offering, an offering made by fire to YHWH; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
15 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away.
16 The priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma; all the fat is YHWH’s.
17 “‘It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings, that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.’”

 

1 Corinthians 12.

1 . Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity. .

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.
2 You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by ELOHIM’s Spirit says, “YESHUA is accursed.” No one can say, “YESHUA is ADONAI,” but by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 There are various kinds of service, and the same ADONAI.
6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same ELOHIM, who works all things in all.
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
9 to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit;
10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages.
11 But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.


12 . Unity and Diversity in One Body. .

For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Messiah.
13 For in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.
16 If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
18 But now ELOHIM has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 But now they are many members, but one body.
21 The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
23 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;
24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But ELOHIM composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Now you are the body of Messiah, and members individually.
28 ELOHIM has set some in the assembly: first emissaries, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
29 Are all emissaries? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?
31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

Wednesday - Day 4 before Shabbat - Parasha Vayikra - And He Called.

Leviticus 4,  1 Corinthians 13.

 

Leviticus 4.

1 . The Sin Offering. .

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which YHWH has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them:
3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to YHWH for a sin offering.
4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before YHWH; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before YHWH!
5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before YHWH, before the veil of the sanctuary.
7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before YHWH, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all of rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,
10 as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
11 The bull’s skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung,
12 even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
13 “‘If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which YHWH has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.
15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before YHWH; and the bull shall be killed before YHWH!
16 The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting:
17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before YHWH, before the veil.
18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before YHWH, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.
20 Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
21 He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
22 “‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which YHWH his ELOHIM has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;
23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish.
24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before YHWH! It is a sin offering.
25 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.
27 “‘If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which YHWH has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;
28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.
29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
31 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to YHWH; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
32 “‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish.
33 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
35 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of YHWH made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.

 

1 Corinthians 13.

1 . The Greatest Gift. .

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.
3 If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,
5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;
6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part;
10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known.
13 But now faith, hope, and love remain these three. The greatest of these is love.

Thursday - Day 5 before Shabbat - Parasha Vayikra - And He Called.

Leviticus 5.,6:1-7 (JPS=Lev 5:1-26), 1 Corinthians 14, Isaiah 43:21-end,44:1-23.

 

 

Leviticus 5.,6:1-7.  (JPS=Lev 5:1-26).

1 . The Trespass Offering. .

“‘If anyone sins, in that he hears the voice of adjuration, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn’t report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
2 “‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.
3 “‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.
4 “‘Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty of one of these.
5 It shall be, when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned:
6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to YHWH for his sin which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 “‘If he can’t afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to YHWH; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering, and wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely.
9 He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10 He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
11 “‘But if he can’t afford two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his offering for that in which he has sinned, the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, neither shall he put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.
12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of YHWH made by fire. It is a sin offering.
13 The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering.’”


14 . Offerings with Restitution. .

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
15 “If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly, in the holy things of YHWH; then he shall bring his trespass offering to YHWH, a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.
16 He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong in the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.
17 “If anyone sins, and does any of the things which YHWH has commanded not to be done; though he didn’t know it, yet he is guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
18 He shall bring a ram without blemish from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn’t know it, and he will be forgiven.
19 It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before YHWH!”

1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against YHWH, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor,
3 or has found that which was lost, and dealt falsely therein, and swearing to a lie; in any of all these things that a man does, sinning therein;
4 then it shall be, if he has sinned, and is guilty, he shall restore that which he took by robbery, or the thing which he has gotten by oppression, or the deposit which was committed to him, or the lost thing which he found,
5 or any thing about which he has sworn falsely; he shall restore it even in full, and shall add a fifth part more to it. To him to whom it belongs he shall give it, in the day of his being found guilty.
6 He shall bring his trespass offering to YHWH, a ram without blemish from the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest.
7 The priest shall make atonement for him before YHWH, and he will be forgiven concerning whatever he does to become guilty.”

 

 

1 Corinthians 14.

1 . Prophecy and Tongues. .

Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
2 For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to ELOHIM; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
3 But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.
4 He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.
5 Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.


6 . Tongues Must Be Interpreted. .

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
7 Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
8 For if the shofar gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
9 So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without meaning.
11 If then I don’t know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
12 So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.
13 Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
14 For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16 Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?
17 For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
18 I thank my ELOHIM, I speak with other languages more than you all.
19 However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.


20 . Tongues a Sign to Unbelievers. .

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
21 In the Torah (teaching and instruction) it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says ADONAI.”
22 Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
23 If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?
24 But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
25 And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship ELOHIM, declaring that ELOHIM is among you indeed.


26 . Order in Assembly Meetings. .

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
27 If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to ELOHIM!
29 Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
30 But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
31 For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.
32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
33 for ELOHIM is not an ELOHIM of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the holy ones,
34 let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the Torah also says.
35 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.
36 What? Was it from you that the word of ELOHIM went out? Or did it come to you alone?
37 If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of ADONAI.
38 But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

21 the people which I formed for myself,  that they might set forth my praise.

\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Pleading with Unfaithful Israel. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Yet you have not called on me, Jacob;  but you have been weary of me, Israel.
23 You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings;  neither have you honored me with your sacrifices.  I have not burdened you with offerings,  nor wearied you with frankincense.
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money,  nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices;  but you have burdened me with your sins.  You have wearied me with your iniquities.
25 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake;  and I will not remember your sins.
26 Put me in remembrance.  Let us plead together.  Set forth your case,  that you may be justified.
27 Your first father sinned,  and your teachers have transgressed against me.
28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary;  and I will make Jacob a curse,  and Israel an insult
_.”

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. ELOHIM's Blessing on Israel. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Yet listen now, Jacob my servant,  and Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 This is what YHWH who made you,  and formed you from the womb,  who will help you says:  “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant;  and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty,  and streams on the dry ground.  I will pour my Spirit on your seed,  and my blessing on your offspring:
4 and they will spring up among the grass,  as willows by the watercourses.
5 One will say, ‘I am YHWH’s;’  and another will be called by the name of Jacob;  and another will write with his hand ‘to YHWH,’  and honor the name of Israel.”


6
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. There Is No Other ELOHIM. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

This is what YHWH, the King of Israel,  and his Redeemer, YHWH of Hosts, says:  “I am the first, and I am the last;  and besides me there is no ELOHIM!
7 Who is like me?  Who will call,  and will declare it,  and set it in order for me,  since I established the ancient people?  Let them declare the things that are coming,  and that will happen.
8 Don’t fear,  neither be afraid.  Haven’t I declared it to you long ago,  and shown it?  You are my witnesses.  Is there an ELOHIM besides me?  Indeed, there is not.  I don’t know any other Rock.”


9
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Idolatry Is Foolishness. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Everyone who makes an engraved image is vain.  The things that they delight in will not profit.  Their own witnesses don’t see, nor know, that they may be disappointed.
10 Who has fashioned a false-god,  or molds an image that is profitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all his fellows will be disappointed;  and the workmen are mere men.  Let them all be gathered together.  Let them stand up.  They will fear.  They will be put to shame together.
12 The blacksmith takes an axe,  works in the coals,  fashions it with hammers,  and works it with his strong arm.  He is hungry,  and his strength fails;  he drinks no water,  and is faint.
13 The carpenter stretches out a line.  He marks it out with a pencil.  He shapes it with planes.  He marks it out with compasses,  and shapes it like the figure of a man,  with the beauty of a man,  to reside in a house.
14 He cuts down cedars for himself,  and takes the cypress and the oak,  and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest.  He plants a fir tree,  and the rain nourishes it.
15 Then it will be for a man to burn;  and he takes some of it, and warms himself.  Yes, he burns it, and bakes bread.  Yes, he makes a false-god, and worships it;  he makes it an engraved image, and falls down to it.
16 He burns part of it in the fire.  With part of it, he eats meat.  He roasts a roast, and is satisfied.  Yes, he warms himself,  and says, “Aha! I am warm. I have seen the fire.”
17 The rest of it he makes into a false-god,  even his engraved image.  He bows down to it and worships,  and prays to it, and says, “Deliver me; for you are my false-god!”
18 They don’t know, neither do they consider:  for he has shut their eyes, that they can’t see;  and their hearts, that they can’t understand.
19 No one thinks,  neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say,  “I have burned part of it in the fire.  Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals.  I have roasted meat and eaten it.  Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination?  Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”
20 He feeds on ashes.  A deceived heart has turned him aside;  and he can’t deliver his soul,  nor say, “Isn’t there a lie in my right hand?”


21
\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel Is Not Forgotten. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\.

Remember these things, Jacob and Israel;  for you are my servant.  I have formed you.  You are my servant.  Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions,  and, as a cloud, your sins.  Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
23 Sing, you heavens, for YHWH has done it!  Shout, you lower parts of the earth!  Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees,  for YHWH has redeemed Jacob,  and will glorify himself in Israel.

Friday - Day 6 before Shabbat - Parasha Vayikra - And He Called.

1 Corinthians 15.

 

1 Corinthians 15.

1 . The Risen Messiah, Faith's Reality. .

Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand,
2 by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you unless you believed in vain.
3 For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and that he appeared to Kefa, then to the twelve.
6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep.
7 Then he appeared to Jacob, then to all the emissaries,
8 and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
9 For I am the least of the emissaries, who is not worthy to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the assembly of ELOHIM!
10 But by the grace of ELOHIM I am what I am. His grace which was bestowed on me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of ELOHIM which was with me.
11 Whether then it is I or they, so we proclaim, and so you believed.


12 . The Risen Messiah, Our Hope. .

Now if Messiah is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Messiah been raised.
14 If Messiah has not been raised, then our proclaiming is in vain, and your faith also is in vain.
15 Yes, we are found false witnesses of ELOHIM, because we testified about ELOHIM that he raised up Messiah, whom he didn’t raise up, if it is so that the dead are not raised.
16 For if the dead aren’t raised, neither has Messiah been raised.
17 If Messiah has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.
18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Messiah have perished.
19 If we have only hoped in Messiah in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.


20 . The Last Enemy Destroyed. .

But now Messiah has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
21 For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man.
22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Messiah all will be made alive.
23 But each in his own order: Messiah the first fruits, then those who are Messiah’s, at his coming.
24 Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to ELOHIM, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death.
27 For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him.
28 When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that ELOHIM may be all in all.


29 . Effects of Denying the Resurrection. .

Or else what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead aren’t raised at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?
30 Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?
31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Messiah YESHUA our ADONAI, I die daily.
32 If I fought with animals at Ephesus for human purposes, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, then “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”
34 Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of ELOHIM! I say this to your shame.


35 . A Glorious Body. .

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”
36 You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
38 But ELOHIM gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
45 So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 However that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is ADONAI from heaven.
48 As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.


50 . Our Final Victory. .

Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit the Kingdom of ELOHIM; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last shofar. For the shofar will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 But when this corruptible will have put on incorruption, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
55 “Death, where is your sting?  Sheol, where is your victory?”
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Torah (teaching and instruction).
57 But thanks be to ELOHIM, who gives us the victory through our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah.
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in ADONAI’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in ADONAI.

Saturday -  Shabbat - Parasha Vayikra - And He Called.

1 Corinthians 16.

 

1 Corinthians 16.

1 . Collection for the Holy Persons. .

Now concerning the collection for the holy ones, as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.
2 On the first day of the week, let each one of you save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come.
3 When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.


5 . Personal Plans. .

But I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
6 But with you it may be that I will stay, or even winter, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
7 For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if ADONAI permits.
8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Shavu`ot,
9 for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
10 Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of ADONAI, as I also do.
11 Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
12 Now concerning Apollos, the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers; and it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.


13 . Final Exhortations. .

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
15 Now I beg you, brothers (you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the holy ones),
16 that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
18 For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.


19 . Greetings and a Solemn Farewell. .

The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in ADONAI, together with the assembly that is in their house.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21 This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
22 If any man doesn’t love ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah, let him be accursed. Come, ADONAI!
23 The grace of ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah be with you.
24 My love to all of you in Messiah YESHUA! Amen.
