Current Torah portion & commentary

Torah scroll

It's very important to note at the outset, that when we speak of the Torah we are refering to the first 5 books of Moses (Moshe) and never to the Talmud, Midrash, Kaballah or other Rabbinical or esoteric writings. These books are in the Christian Bible as well as the Hebrew Bible as Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

The Apostle Paul used the term 'the scriptures' in 2 Timothy 3:15 as being synonomous with the Torah of Moses and to explain to us that its the scriptures that are profitable in that they are able to make us wise as to the salvation that comes through faith in Jesus as the Messiah.

Its strange to us that many Christians are still taught that the Torah (the scriptures) are not profitable to the New Testament believer. For years we were told to focus on the New Testament exclusively , we routinely encouraged new believers to focus on the book of John and mature believers to focus on the Epistles, especially Ephesians.

Paul however, saw no conflict between that what had been revealed to him by the Spirit and which is now part of the Apostolic Scriptures and the Torah of Moses. This is why the NT writers quote from the Torah or 'Law', especially Deuteronomy, over 80 times to reinforce their theology!

In Paul's time there was no 'New Testament' - that came some 300 years later.

All Jesus and the Apostles had was the Tenak or Hebrew bible which consists of the the Torah, Writings, the Prophets. The Torah of Moses was widely held as the most important component of the scriptures because any prophet that contradicted it was to be considered a false prophet, even if his prophecy came to pass and especially if he worked signs and wonders to back up his new revelations. (Deut.13v1-11) Its the scriptures (in essence the Torah) that are inspired or God breathed and is profitable for teaching about righteousness or right living and its the scriptures that are able to equip the man of God for every good work. Jesus Himself said that the scriptures cannot be broken even before there was a New Covenent , John 10:35. Therefore we should not expect the Old and the New to contradict each other or that the one should supercede the other. There is a unity and a harmony within all of Adonai's Word that is seldom appreciated today.

Worldwide, all Jewish synagogues, Messianic congregations, study halls and prayer groups use either an annual or 3 yearly cycle of Torah readings. In this way, we all cover roughly the same material each week, along with many believers from all over the globe. There is a sense of being part of something that is bigger than the individual and there is a real sense of being united.

At Grace of Life Fellowship we will advocate that followers of Yeshua read the Torah through once a each year and we also encourage believers in Jesus as the Messiah in addition to read the Apostolic Scriptures through once a year. An excellent bible reading schedule for 2010 that covers the Torah, Writings, the Prophets as well as the New Covenant Scriptures can be accessed courtesy of the Seed of Abraham site, by clicking here.

One may suppose that such an approach is far too stayed or 'static' or that it would in some way impede being Spirit Led in our individual study of scripture. Far from it! In fact we never cease to be amazed at how powerfully relevant these timeless portions are and how Lord uses it to speak freshly to our hearts through it!

Exodus 35:1-40:38

^35:1	Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, "These are the words which the LORD has commanded, that you should do them.
^35:2	'Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD: whoever does any work in it shall be put to death.
^35:3	You shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations on the Sabbath day.'"
^35:4	Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, "This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
^35:5	'Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, the LORD's offering: gold, silver, brass,
^35:6	blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair,
^35:7	rams' skins dyed red, sea cow hides, acacia wood,
^35:8	oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense,
^35:9	onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and for the breastplate.
^35:10	"'Let every wise-hearted man among you come, and make all that the LORD has commanded:
^35:11	the tabernacle, its outer covering, its roof, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
^35:12	the ark, and its poles, the mercy seat, the veil of the screen;
^35:13	the table with its poles and all its vessels, and the show bread;
^35:14	the menorah also for the light, with its vessels, its lamps, and the oil for the light;
^35:15	and the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;
^35:16	the altar of burnt offering, with its grating of brass, it poles, and all its vessels, the basin and its base;
^35:17	the hangings of the court, its pillars, their sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court;
^35:18	the pins of the tabernacle, the pins of the court, and their cords;
^35:19	the finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.'"
^35:20	All the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
^35:21	They came, everyone whose heart stirred him up, and everyone whom his spirit made willing, and brought the LORD's offering, for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all of its service, and for the holy garments.
^35:22	They came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches, earrings, signet rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man who offered an offering of gold to the LORD.
^35:23	Everyone, with whom was found blue, purple, scarlet, fine linen, goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, and sea cow hides, brought them.
^35:24	Everyone who did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering; and everyone, with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, brought it.
^35:25	All the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.
^35:26	All the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun the goats' hair.
^35:27	The rulers brought the onyx stones, and the stones to be set, for the ephod and for the breastplate;
^35:28	and the spice, and the oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
^35:29	The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the LORD; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by Moses.
^35:30	Moses said to the children of Israel, "Behold, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
^35:31	He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship;
^35:32	and to make skillful works, to work in gold, in silver, in brass,
^35:33	in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship.
^35:34	He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
^35:35	He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all kinds of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skillful works.
^36:1	"Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD has commanded."
^36:2	Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:
^36:3	and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.
^36:4	All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.
^36:5	They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make."
^36:6	Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing.
^36:7	For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
^36:8	All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made them.
^36:9	The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
^36:10	He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.
^36:11	He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.
^36:12	He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite one to another.
^36:13	He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.
^36:14	He made curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.
^36:15	The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.
^36:16	He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
^36:17	He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.
^36:18	He made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.
^36:19	He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
^36:20	He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.
^36:21	Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.
^36:22	Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.
^36:23	He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward.
^36:24	He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

^36:26	and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

^36:28	He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

^36:33	He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.
^36:34	He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
^36:35	He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.

^37:1	Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits, and its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height.

^37:9	The cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
^37:10	He made the table of acacia wood. Its length was two cubits, and its breadth was a cubit, and its height was a cubit and a half.

^37:12	He made a border of a handbreadth around it, and made a golden molding on its border around it.

^37:14	The rings were close by the border, the places for the poles to carry the table.
^37:15	He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.
^37:16	He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, its spoons, its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out, of pure gold.
^37:17	He made the menorah of pure gold. He made the menorah of beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were of one piece with it.
^37:18	There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the menorah out of its one side, and three branches of the menorah out of its other side:
^37:19	three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the menorah.

^37:26	He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns. He made a gold molding around it.

^38:4	He made for the altar a grating of a network of brass, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up.
^38:5	He cast four rings for the four ends of brass grating, to be places for the poles.
^38:6	He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass.
^38:7	He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.
^38:8	He made the basin of brass, and its base of brass, out of the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
^38:9	He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred cubits;
^38:10	their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
^38:11	For the north side one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver.
^38:12	For the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver.

^38:18	The screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. Twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, like to the hangings of the court.
^38:19	Their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver.
^38:20	All the pins of the tabernacle, and around the court, were of brass.
^38:21	This is the amount of material used for the tabernacle, even the Tabernacle of the Testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
^38:22	Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
^38:23	With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen.
^38:24	All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
^38:25	The silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was one hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
^38:26	a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men.
^38:27	The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets for the one hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
^38:28	Of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them.
^38:29	The brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand four hundred shekels.
^38:30	With this he made the sockets to the door of the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, all the vessels of the altar,
^38:31	the sockets around the court, the sockets of the gate of the court, all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins around the court.
^39:1	Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
^39:2	He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
^39:3	They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.
^39:4	They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. At the two ends it was joined together.
^39:5	The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
^39:6	They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.
^39:7	He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^39:8	He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
^39:9	It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its breadth a span, being double.
^39:10	They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;
^39:11	and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
^39:12	and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
^39:13	and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings.
^39:14	The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
^39:15	They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.
^39:16	They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
^39:17	They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
^39:18	The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in its front.
^39:19	They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.
^39:20	They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
^39:21	They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^39:22	He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
^39:23	The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.
^39:24	They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.
^39:25	They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates;
^39:26	a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^39:27	They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
^39:28	and the turban of fine linen, and the linen headbands of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,
^39:29	and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^39:30	They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: "HOLY TO THE LORD."
^39:31	They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^39:32	Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished. The children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they did.
^39:33	They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, with all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
^39:34	the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow hides, the veil of the screen,
^39:35	the ark of the testimony with its poles, the mercy seat,
^39:36	the table, all its vessels, the show bread,
^39:37	the pure menorah, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the light,
^39:38	the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door of the Tent,
^39:39	the bronze altar, its grating of brass, its poles, all of its vessels, the basin and its base,
^39:40	the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins, all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of Meeting,
^39:41	the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
^39:42	According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.
^39:43	Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
^40:1	The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
^40:2	"On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
^40:3	You shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
^40:4	You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the menorah, and light its lamps.
^40:5	You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
^40:6	"You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
^40:7	You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.
^40:8	You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
^40:9	"You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture: and it will be holy.
^40:10	You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar will be most holy.
^40:11	You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.
^40:12	"You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
^40:13	You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.
^40:14	You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.
^40:15	You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."
^40:16	Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.
^40:17	It happened in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.
^40:18	Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
^40:19	He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^40:20	He took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.
^40:21	He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^40:22	He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside of the veil.
^40:23	He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^40:24	He put the menorah in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
^40:25	He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^40:26	He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;
^40:27	and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^40:28	He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
^40:29	He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^40:30	He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.
^40:31	Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
^40:32	When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.
^40:33	He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
^40:34	Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
^40:35	Moses wasn't able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD's glory filled the tabernacle.
^40:36	When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
^40:37	but if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they didn't travel until the day that it was taken up.
^40:38	For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

^45:17	It shall be the prince's part to give the burnt offerings, and the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meal offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.

^46:8	When the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by its way.
^46:9	But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.
^46:10	The prince, when they go in, shall go in with of them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

^46:14	You shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an efah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to the LORD continually by a perpetual ordinance.
^46:15	Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.
^46:16	Thus says the Lord GOD: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
