19 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Teaching and Instruction Concerning Firstborn Animals. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and of your flock you shall sanctify to YHWH your ELOHIM: you shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
20 You shall eat it before YHWH your ELOHIM year by year in the place which YHWH shall choose, you and your household.
21 If it has any blemish, is lame or blind, or has any defect whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to YHWH your ELOHIM!
22 You shall eat it within your gates: the unclean and the clean shall eat it alike, as the gazelle, and as the hart.
23 Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground as water.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Passover Reviewed. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to YHWH your ELOHIM; for in the month of Abib YHWH your ELOHIM brought you forth out of Egypt by night.
2 You shall sacrifice the Passover to YHWH your ELOHIM, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
4 No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, which YHWH your ELOHIM gives you;
6 but at the place which YHWH your ELOHIM shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.
7 You shall roast and eat it in the place which YHWH your ELOHIM shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.
8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH your ELOHIM; you shall do no work.

9 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Feast of Weeks Reviewed. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

You shall count for yourselves seven weeks: from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to number seven weeks.
10 You shall keep the feast of weeks to YHWH your ELOHIM with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as YHWH your ELOHIM blesses you:
11 and you shall rejoice before YHWH your ELOHIM, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which YHWH your ELOHIM shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.
12 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.

13 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Feast of Tabernacles Reviewed. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

You shall keep the feast of booths seven days, after that you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your winepress:
14 and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates.
15 You shall keep a feast to YHWH your ELOHIM seven days in the place which YHWH shall choose; because YHWH your ELOHIM will bless you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.
16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before YHWH your ELOHIM in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they shall not appear before YHWH empty:
17 every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH your ELOHIM which he has given you.

Numbers 28:26-31.

26 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Offerings at the Feast of Weeks. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

“‘Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to YHWH in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work;
27 but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to YHWH: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;
28 and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for each bull, two tenth parts for the one ram,
29 a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs;
30 one male goat, to make atonement for you.
31 Besides the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, you shall offer them (they shall be to you without blemish), and their drink offerings.

Habakkuk 3:1-19.

1 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. The Prophet's Prayer. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
2 YHWH, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, YHWH! Renew your work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
3 ELOHIM came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.
4 His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
5 Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.
6 He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
8 Was YHWH displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?
9 You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky, at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
12 You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.
13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. Selah.
14 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
15 You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.
16 I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

17 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. A Hymn of Faith. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

For though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food; the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls:
18 yet I will rejoice in YHWH! I will be joyful in the ELOHIM of my salvation!
19 YHWH, ADONAI, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

Galatians 5:16-26.

16 \Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnestLOW”\. Walking in the Spirit. .\Vce=Speaker=“LeslieEarnest”\

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Torah (teaching and instruction).
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of ELOHIM!
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24 Those who belong to Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
26 Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

Shavuot / שבועות

The festival of Shavuot (or Shavuos, in Ashkenazi usage; Shabhuʿoth in Classical and Mizrahi Hebrew Hebrew: שבועות, lit. "Weeks") is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan (late May or early June). Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire Israelite nation assembled at Mount Sinai, although the association between the giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and Shavuot is not explicit in the Biblical text. The holiday is one of the Shalosh Regalim, the three Biblical pilgrimage festivals. It marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer.
