Acharei Mot:

Leviticus 16.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Day of Atonement\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

YHWH spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before YHWH, and died;
2 and YHWH said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother, not to come at all times into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.
3 “Herewith shall Aaron come into the sanctuary: with a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be clothed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on.
5 He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 “Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.
7 He shall take the two goats, and set them before YHWH at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
8 Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for YHWH, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
9 Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for YHWH, and offer him for a sin offering.
10 But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before YHWH, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.
11 “Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.
12 He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before YHWH, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil:
13 and he shall put the incense on the fire before YHWH, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will not die.
14 He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 “Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness.
17 No one shall be in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
18 “He shall go out to the altar that is before YHWH and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar.
19 He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
20 “When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.
21 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.
22 The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in the wilderness.
23 “Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave them there.
24 Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.
25 The fat of the sin offering he shall burn on the altar.
26 “He who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
27 The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried forth outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, their flesh, and their dung with fire.
28 He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
29 “It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no kind of work, the native-born, or the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you:
30 for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before YHWH!
31 It is a Sabbath of solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute forever.
32 The priest, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be priest in his father’s place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even the holy garments.
33 Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.
34 “This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins.” It was done as YHWH commanded Moses.

Philippians 1.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Greeting. . Paul’s Letter to the Philippians! \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

Paul and Timothy, servants of YESHUA the Messiah; To all the holy ones in Messiah YESHUA who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 Grace to you, and peace from ELOHIM, our Father, and ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah.

3 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Thankfulness and Prayer\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

I thank my ELOHIM whenever I remember you,
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of YESHUA the Messiah.
7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 For ELOHIM is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Messiah YESHUA!
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Messiah;
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through YESHUA the Messiah, to the glory and praise of ELOHIM!

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Messiah Is Preached\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Messiah;
14 and that most of the brothers in ADONAI, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of ELOHIM without fear.
15 Some indeed proclaim Messiah even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 The former insincerely proclaim Messiah from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Messiah is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

19 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. To Live Is Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of YESHUA the Messiah,
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Messiah, and to die is gain.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
23 But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Messiah, which is far better.
24 Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 that your rejoicing may abound in Messiah YESHUA in me through my presence with you again.

27 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Striving and Suffering for Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Messiah, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from ELOHIM!
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.

Monday - Day 2 before Shabbat - Parasha AchareiMot-Kodeshim - After the Death - Holy People.

Leviticus 17, Philippians 2.

Acharei Mot (continued):

Leviticus 17.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Sanctity of Blood\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘This is the thing which YHWH has commanded,
3 Whatever man there is of the house of Israel, who kills a bull, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who kills it outside the camp,
4 and hasn’t brought it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to offer it as an offering to YHWH before the tabernacle of YHWH: blood shall be imputed to that man. He has shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people.
5 This is to the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they sacrifice in the open field, that they may bring them to YHWH, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, and sacrifice them for sacrifices of peace offerings to YHWH!
6 The priest shall sprinkle the blood on the altar of YHWH at the door of the Tent of Meeting, and burn the fat for a pleasant aroma to YHWH!
7 They shall no more sacrifice their sacrifices to the goat idols, after which they play the prostitute. This shall be a statute forever to them throughout their generations.’
8 “You shall say to them, ‘Any man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who offers a burnt offering or sacrifice,
9 and doesn’t bring it to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to sacrifice it to YHWH; that man shall be cut off from his people.
10 “‘Any man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who eats any kind of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
12 Therefore I have said to the children of Israel, “No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who lives as a foreigner among you eat blood.”
13 “‘Whatever man there is of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners among them, who takes in hunting any animal or bird that may be eaten; he shall pour out its blood, and cover it with dust.
14 For as to the life of all flesh, its blood is with its life: therefore I said to the children of Israel, “You shall not eat the blood of any kind of flesh; for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.”
15 “‘Every person that eats what dies of itself, or that which is torn by animals, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then he shall be clean.
16 But if he doesn’t wash them, or bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.’”

Philippians 2.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Unity Through Humility\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

If there is therefore any exhortation in Messiah, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
2 make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

5 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Humbled and Exalted Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Have this in your mind, which was also in Messiah YESHUA,
6 who, existing in the form of ELOHIM, didn’t consider equality with ELOHIM a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
9 Therefore ELOHIM also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
10 that at the name of YESHUA every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that YESHUA the Messiah is ADONAI, to the glory of ELOHIM the Father.

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Light Bearers\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is ELOHIM who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputes,
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of ELOHIM without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
16 holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Messiah, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.
18 In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

19 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Timothy Commended\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

But I hope in ADONAI YESHUA to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of YESHUA the Messiah.
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
24 But I trust in ADONAI that I myself also will come shortly.

25 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Epaphroditus Praised\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your emissary and servant of my need;
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.
27 For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but ELOHIM had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in ADONAI with all joy, and hold such in honor,
30 because for the work of Messiah he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Teaching and Instructions of Sexual Morality\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

YHWH said to Moses,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘I am YHWH your ELOHIM!
3 You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived: and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you; neither shall you walk in their statutes.
4 You shall do my ordinances, and you shall keep my statutes, and walk in them: I am YHWH your ELOHIM!
5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances; which if a man does, he shall live in them: I am YHWH!
6 “‘None of you shall approach anyone who are his close relatives, to uncover their nakedness: I am YHWH!
7 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, nor the nakedness of your mother: she is your mother. You shall not uncover her nakedness.
8 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife: it is your father’s nakedness.
9 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home, or born abroad.
10 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your son’s daughter, or of your daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness: for theirs is your own nakedness.
11 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, conceived by your father, since she is your sister.

13 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister: for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.
14 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother, you shall not approach his wife: she is your aunt.

16 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife: it is your brother’s nakedness.
17 “‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter. You shall not take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are near kinswomen: it is wickedness.

19 “‘You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is impure by her uncleanness.
20 “‘You shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, and defile yourself with her.
21 “‘You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Molech; neither shall you profane the name of your ELOHIM: I am YHWH!
22 “‘You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestable.
23 “‘You shall not lie with any animal to defile yourself with it; neither shall any woman give herself to an animal, to lie down with it: it is a perversion.
24 “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
25 The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.
26 You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;
27 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled);
28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.
30 Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them: I am YHWH your ELOHIM!’”

Wednesday -Day 4 before Shabbat - Parasha AchareiMot-Kodeshim - After the Death - Holy People.

Ezekiel 22:1-19, Philippians 3, 4.

Acharei Mot (continued):

Ezekiel 22:1-19.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Sins of Jerusalem\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Moreover the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
2 You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 You shall say, Thus says ADONAI YHWH: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!
4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one and full of tumult.
6 Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
7 In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
9 Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.
10 In you have they uncovered their fathers’ nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
11 One has committed abomination with his neighbor’s wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
12 In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says ADONAI YHWH!
13 Behold, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
14 Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, YHWH, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
16 You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am YHWH!

17 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel in the Furnace\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
18 Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
19 Therefore thus says ADONAI YHWH: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

Philippians 3.,4:1-23.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. All for Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in ADONAI. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship ELOHIM in the Spirit, and rejoice in Messiah YESHUA, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the Torah (teaching and instruction), a Pharisee;
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the Torah (teaching and instruction), found blameless.
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Messiah.
8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Messiah YESHUA, my ADONAI, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Messiah
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the Torah (teaching and instruction), but that which is through faith in Messiah, the righteousness which is from ELOHIM by faith;
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Pressing Toward the Goal\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Messiah YESHUA!
13 Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of ELOHIM in Messiah YESHUA!
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, ELOHIM will also reveal that to you.
16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind.

17 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Our Citizenship in Heaven\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Messiah,
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah;
21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

1 Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in ADONAI, my beloved.

2 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Be United, Joyful, and in Prayer\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in ADONAI.
3 Yes, I beg you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in ADONAI always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. ADONAI is at hand.
6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to ELOHIM!
7 And the peace of ELOHIM, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Messiah YESHUA!

8 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Meditate on These Things\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.
9 The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the ELOHIM of peace will be with you.

10 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Philippian Generosity\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

But I rejoice in ADONAI greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
12 I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
13 I can do all things through Messiah, who strengthens me.
14 However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
15 You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
17 Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
18 But I have all things, and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to ELOHIM!
19 My ELOHIM will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Messiah YESHUA!
20 Now to our ELOHIM and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

21 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Greeting and Blessing\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Greet every holy one in Messiah YESHUA! The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 All the holy ones greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;
8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of YHWH, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am YHWH your ELOHIM!

17 “‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
18 “‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am YHWH!

23 “‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years shall they be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.

32 “‘You shall rise up before the gray head, and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your ELOHIM! I am YHWH!
33 “‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
34 The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am YHWH your ELOHIM!
35 “‘You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.

YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, ‘Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who live as foreigners in Israel, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.
3 I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and don’t put him to death;
5 then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with Molech, from among their people.
6 “‘The person that turns to those who are mediums, and to the wizards, to play the prostitute after them, I will even set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 “‘Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am YHWH your ELOHIM!
8 You shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am YHWH who sanctifies you.
9 “‘For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 “‘The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 “‘The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
12 “‘If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have committed a perversion; their blood shall be upon them.

17 “‘If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

22 “‘You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may not vomit you out.
23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am YHWH your ELOHIM, who has separated you from the peoples.
25 “‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you.
26 You shall be holy to me: for I, YHWH, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.
27 “‘A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.’”

Colossians 1.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Greeting. . Paul’s Letter to the Colossians! \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

Paul, an emissary of Messiah YESHUA through the will of ELOHIM, and Timothy our brother,
2 to the holy ones and faithful brothers in Messiah at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from ELOHIM our Father, and ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah.

3 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Their Faith in Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

We give thanks to ELOHIM the Father of our ADONAI YESHUA the Messiah, praying always for you,
4 having heard of your faith in Messiah YESHUA, and of the love which you have toward all the holy ones,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News,
6 which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of ELOHIM in truth;
7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Messiah on our behalf,
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

9 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Preeminence of Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
10 that you may walk worthily of ADONAI, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of ELOHIM;
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy;
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the holy ones in light;
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love;
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins;
15 who is the image of the invisible ELOHIM, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

19 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Reconciled in Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works,
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and blameless before him,
23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

24 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Sacrificial Service for Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Messiah in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly;
25 of which I was made a servant, according to the stewardship of ELOHIM which was given me toward you, to fulfill the word of ELOHIM,
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his holy ones,
27 to whom ELOHIM was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory;
28 whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Messiah YESHUA;
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

Friday - Day 6 before Shabbat - Parasha AchareiMot-Kodeshim - After the Death - Holy People.

Ezekiel 20:2-20, Colossians 2.

Kedoshim (continued):

Ezekiel 20:2-20.

2 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
3 Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and tell them, Thus says ADONAI YHWH: Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says ADONAI YHWH, I will not be inquired of by you.
4 Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know the abominations of their fathers;
5 and tell them, Thus says ADONAI YHWH: In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, I am YHWH your ELOHIM;
6 in that day I swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands.
7 I said to them, Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and don’t defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am YHWH your ELOHIM!
8 But they rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn’t throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
9 But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
10 So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
11 I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them.
12 Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am YHWH who sanctifies them.
13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn’t walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
14 But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.
15 Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
16 because they rejected my ordinances, and didn’t walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
17 Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.
18 I said to their children in the wilderness, Don’t walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.
19 I am YHWH your ELOHIM: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;
20 and make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am YHWH your ELOHIM!

Colossians 2.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Not Philosophy but Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

For I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you, and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
2 that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and gaining all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of ELOHIM, both of the Father and of Messiah,
3 in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.
4 Now this I say that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech.
5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Messiah.
6 As therefore you received Messiah YESHUA, ADONAI, walk in him,
7 rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, even as you were taught, abounding in it in thanksgiving.
8 Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Messiah.
9 For in him all the fullness of the ELOHIM-HEAD dwells bodily,
10 and in him you are made full, who is the head of all principality and power;

11 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Not Legalism but Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

in whom you were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh, in the circumcision of Messiah;
12 having been buried with him in immersion, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of ELOHIM, who raised him from the dead.
13 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
14 wiping out the handwriting in ordinances which was against us; and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;
15 having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no one therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day,
17 which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Messiah’s.
18 Let no one rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 and not holding firmly to the Head, from whom all the body, being supplied and knit together through the joints and ligaments, grows with ELOHIM’s growth.
20 If you died with Messiah from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances,
21 “Don’t handle, nor taste, nor touch”
22 (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men?
23 Which things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imposed worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but aren’t of any value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Amos 9:7-15, Colossians 3, 4.

AchareiMot-Kedoshim (continued):

Amos 9:7-15.

7 Are you not like the children of the Ethiopians to me, children of Israel?” says YHWH! “Haven’t I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
8 Behold, the eyes of ADONAI YHWH are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the surface of the earth; except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” says YHWH!
9 “For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil won’t overtake nor meet us.’

11 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Israel Will Be Restored\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;
12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by my name,” says YHWH who does this.
13 “Behold, the days come,” says YHWH, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills.
14 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.
15 I will plant them on their land, and they will no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them,” says YHWH your ELOHIM!

Colossians 3.,4:1-18.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Not Carnality but Messiah\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

If then you were raised together with Messiah, seek the things that are above, where Messiah is, seated on the right hand of ELOHIM!
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Messiah in ELOHIM!
4 When Messiah, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
6 for which things’ sake the wrath of ELOHIM comes on the children of disobedience.
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
8 but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Messiah is all, and in all.

12 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Character of the New Man\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Put on therefore, as ELOHIM’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Messiah forgave you, so you also do.
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
15 And let the peace of ELOHIM rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
16 Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to ADONAI.
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of ADONAI YESHUA, giving thanks to ELOHIM the Father, through him.

18 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Messiahian Home\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in ADONAI.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases ADONAI.
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing ELOHIM!
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for ADONAI, and not for men,
24 knowing that from ADONAI you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve ADONAI Messiah.
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

1 Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.

2 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Messiahian Graces\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein with thanksgiving;
3 praying together for us also, that ELOHIM may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Messiah, for which I am also in bonds;
4 that I may reveal it as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

7 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Final Greetings\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

All my affairs will be made known to you by Tychicus, the beloved brother, faithful servant, and fellow bondservant in ADONAI.
8 I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,
9 together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you everything that is going on here.
10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you received commandments, “if he comes to you, receive him”),
11 and YESHUA who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the Kingdom of ELOHIM who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Messiah, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of ELOHIM!
13 For I testify about him, that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.
15 Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the assembly that is in his house.

16 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Closing Exhortations and Blessing\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\. .

When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans; and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.
17 Tell Archippus, “Take heed to the ministry which you have received in ADONAI, that you fulfill it.”
18 The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand: remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
