Leviticus 6:8-8:36 (Tzav) Is Our Worship Holy? Or Profane?

In this portion, Aarons and his sons, the priests receive instructions from Yahweh on how to bring the sacrifices before him for the people. It was important for them to follow the instructions so that the Tabernacle remained sacred space and the Presence of Yahweh could remain in the midst of Israel. Leviticus is the instructions given to Yahweh’s people on how to worship a holy God. We too can learn so much from this often neglected book, when we examine our own lives and worship. Do we live in a way that invites and celebrates the Presence of Yahweh in our lives? Or do we live as if His Presence is not important or valued or even worse do we participate in activities or behavior that cause His Presence to leave? There is much to consider in this portion as we enter a season of celebrating the most important event to our faith: the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Yeshua. How do we celebrate and commemorate this? Do we celebrate in a way that is confirmed by scripture? or have we created our own traditions? Yahweh has done everything in His power to close the chasm that separated us from Him in the free gift of salvation through His son, Jesus Christ. Yeshua’s death and resurrection are the fulfillment of His promise back in the Garden. Yahweh thank you for keeping your covenant and for this great salvation in Yeshua. Blessed be your Name Forever and ever. <br /><br /> Resources: Here are links to Torah Portion commentaries written by Julie Parker. I read an excerpt from the commentary for the portion of Tzav that discussed the origins of Easter. She has many commentary articles on the syncretism of Christianity. Her research has shed lots of light on how early church fathers held anti-semtic views that ultimately affected doctrines adopted in early church history. <br /><br /> Sheepfold Gleanings<br /><a href="https://www.sheepfoldgleanings.com/leviticus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.sheepfoldgleanings...</a><br /><br /> I did not have time to record some thoughts I had around Yeshua’s words to the churches in Asian Minor in the book of Revelation. Those churches were cult centers of the time were different deitites were worshipped and if you read through Yeshua’s words, He calls them to repentance because of the way in which they allowed false teachings and doctrines into the church. Just saying… something to ponder…SELAH.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-taste-of-torah--5690880/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-taste-of-torah--5690880/support</a>.

Leviticus 1:1-6:7 (Vayikra) The Korban: Drawing Near

This first portion of Leviticus is all about the instructions given to Moses to give to the people for bringing their offerings to Aaron and his sons, the priests. The Tabernacle is now complete, the glory cloud of Yahweh is in the Tent of Meeting, so now Yahweh explains how the people are to worship Him. In this podcast we share some Hebrew in hopes of helping the listener to gain insight to why the sacrificial system was necessary and how it was a gift from Yahweh to the people. The book of Leviticus gives instructions to Israel how to worship, Yahweh has chosen Aaron and his sons to act as priests and now the people need to know what offerings are acceptable because worship of Yahweh was not going to be like the worship of the pagan gods of the other nations. It would be sacrificial but Yahweh had instructions around it which will be covered in later portions.<br /><br /> **** Correction: I mentioned the worship song Holy Forever and said Matt Redman as the artist/worshipper but the song is by artist/worshipper Chris Tomlin. ****<br /><br /> Here is a link if you want to listen. <br /><a href="https://youtu.be/IkHgxKemCRk?feature=shared" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://youtu.be/IkHgxKemCRk?f...</a><br /><br /> Resources <br /> One New Man Bible by William Morford<br /><a href="https://www.onenewmanbible.com/about-the-bible/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.onenewmanbible.com...</a><br /> Glossary word Korban<br /><br /><br /> Hebrew for Christians Website: Article Link<br /><a href="https://www.hebrew4christians.com/Scripture/Parashah/Summaries/Vayikra/Korban/korban.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hebrew4christians....</a><br /><br /> The Torah Story by Gary Edward Schnittjer<br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Torah-Story-Apprenticeship-Pentateuch/dp/0310248612" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Torah-S...</a><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-taste-of-torah--5690880/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-taste-of-torah--5690880/support</a>.

Exodus 38:21-40:38 (Pekudei) The Mishkan- On Earth As It Is In Heaven

Moses makes an accounting of all the offerings that were given for the building of the mishkan. He was shown the pattern when he went up on Mount Sinai the first time. Remember the LORD chose Bezalel to build the furnishings and the tabernacle used for worship. Bezalel was anointed and especially equipped by God to fulfill his destiny. The tabernacle was constructed according to the exact specification of Yahweh. Moses built ti the first time, anointed all the furnishings and then anointed Aaron and his sons for holy priesthood service. Everything in the tabernacle had to be anointed, set apart and made holy for the LORD’s purpose. The grand finale and final approval from Yahweh was the Shekinah glory that had lead them through the wilderness filling the tabernacle. (Exodus 40:3).<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-taste-of-torah--5690880/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-taste-of-torah--5690880/support</a>.
