    Matot/Massei | Erev Shabbat: Tribes/Stages

    Join us for our Erev Shabbat service we will be going through the weekly teachings from Monte Judah. This week's teaching will cover a double portion. First, Matot - This portion, while entitled “Tribes,” explains the law of vows. It then shifts to the subject of tribes when Moses is directed to assemble 1,000 soldiers from each tribe, forming an army of 12,000 to destroy the five Midianite kings who followed the counsel of Baalam. In the end, the 12,000 men return, having destroyed the five Midianite kings and Baalam. Here is the amazing part: none of the 12,000 died. They all returned from the battlefield alive. The portion concludes with Reuben and Gad requesting the grazing lands east of the Jordan for their herds and inheritance. Moses agrees on the condition that they pledge to support the conquest of the promised land for the other tribes. Next, Massei - "Massei" (Stages) begins with a systematic listing of the children of Israel’s journeys ("stages") in the wilderness. There are 42 specific places listed beginning with Sukkot, which was still in Egypt. The sages of Israel have been intrigued with this listing, since God commanded Moses to record them. Of what value are they to us who study Torah? These are not known locations found on a map, but instead they are campsites to which Israel wandered for forty years. Each location name describes an event as opposed to the name of a place. Their true value is yet future, being prophetic stages that tribulation saints will go through. This Torah portion provides instructions for apportioning the promised land. In particular, the land of Israel was to have 42 cities, with six cities of refuge (three on either side of the Jordan river). Following those matters, this portion addresses the issue of the “man-slayer” and the “blood avenger.” Finally, the book of Numbers concludes with issues of inheritance. Scripture Readings from: Numbers 30:(2)1–32:42, Jeremiah 1:1–2:28, Matthew 5:33-37, Numbers 33:1–36:13, Jeremiah 3:4 & 4:1-2, Philippians 3:7-21, James 4:1–12 #shabbat #SabbathService #hebrewrootsteacher https://www.bnaishalom.tv/watch-live https://lionandlambministries.org/ https://lionandlambministries.org/resources/torah-cycle-readings https://llgive.com

    Chukat/Balak | Erev Shabbat: Ordinance of/Balak

    Join us for our Erev Shabbat service we will be going through the weekly teachings from Monte Judah. This week's teaching will cover a double portion. First, Chukat - “Chukat” (Ordinance of) talks of the mysterious rite of the Red Heifer. This particular sacrifice is burned outside the camp. Its ashes are then sprinkled in water to make the “waters of purification.” If a person would become defiled by coming in contact with a dead person or animal, he would have to be cleansed from this defilement by being sprinkled with the waters of purification. Then he would be able to go to the temple again. A large amount of ash was produced by the sacrifice, but it was distributed extensively to all villages for use by the tribes. When a new sacrifice took place, a portion of the original ashes would be used in every new sacrifice, thus every sacrifice and resulting generation would have ash from the original sacrifice of Moses and Aaron. This portion also addresses the issue of Moses striking the Rock instead of teaching the children of Israel to “speak to the Rock.” Consequently, Moses was guilty of not believing the LORD and was kept from entering the promised land himself. Next, Balak - This portion speaks of the Moabite king Balak, who hired the prophet Baalam to curse the children of Israel so that Israel would not conquer his kingdom. Despite his initial resistance, Baalam agreed and came to Balak, setting up three locations to curse Israel. Instead, all he could speak were blessings. These blessings (from an enemy) are some of the most powerful blessings ever spoken upon Israel. In fact, most synagogue services begin with the words “How good and lovely are your tents O Jacob, your tabernacles O Israel...” We learn in a later parashah that Baalam counseled the Moabites and Midianites to send their daughters to Israel to draw them away from the teaching of Moses and invite them to their pagan festivals, with the intent that God would reject Israel and remove His protection of them, causing them to fall prey to their enemies. Scripture Readings from: Numbers 19:1–22:1, Judges 11:1–33, John 3:10–21, Numbers 22:2–25:9, Micah 5:6–6:8, I Corinthians 1:20–31 #shabbat #SabbathService #hebrewrootsteacher https://www.bnaishalom.tv/watch-live https://lionandlambministries.org/ https://lionandlambministries.org/resources/torah-cycle-readings https://llgive.com
