Today’s Parsha

Lev 10 whole chapter

• 1 But Nadav and Avihu, sons of Aharon, each took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and offered unauthorized fire before ADONAI, something he had not ordered them to do. 2 At this, fire came forth from the presence of ADONAI and consumed them, so that they died in the presence of ADONAI.


• 3 Moshe said to Aharon, "This is what ADONAI said: 'Through those who are near me I will be consecrated, and before all the people I will be glorified.'" Aharon kept silent. 4 Moshe called Misha'el and Eltzafan, sons of 'Uzi'el Aharon's uncle, and told them, "Come here, and carry your cousins away from in front of the sanctuary to a place outside the camp."


• 5 They approached and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moshe had said. 6 Then Moshe told Aharon and his sons El'azar and Itamar, "Don't unbind your hair or tear your clothes in mourning, so that you won't die and so that ADONAI won't be angry with the entire community. Rather, let your kinsmen - the whole house of Isra'el -mourn, because of the destruction ADONAI brought about with his fire.


• 7 Moreover, don't leave the entrance to the tent of meeting, or you will die, because ADONAI's anointing oil is on you." 8 ADONAI said to Aharon, 9 "Don't drink any wine or other intoxicating liquor, neither you nor your sons with you, when you enter the tent of meeting, so that you will not die. This is to be a permanent regulation through all your generations,


• 10 so that you will distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean; 11 and so that you will teach the people of Isra'el all the laws ADONAI has told them through Moshe." 12 Moshe said to Aharon and to El'azar and Itamar, his remaining sons, "Take the grain offering left from the offerings for ADONAI made by fire, and eat it without leaven next to the altar, because it is especially holy.


• 13 Eat it in a holy place, because it is your and your sons' share of the offerings for ADONAI made by fire; for this is what I have been ordered. 14 The breast that was waved and the thigh that was raised you are to eat in a clean place - you, your sons and your daughters with you; for these are given as your and your children's share of the sacrifices of the peace offerings presented by the people of Isra'el.


• 15 They are to bring the raised thigh and the waved breast, along with the offerings of fat made by fire, and wave it as a wave offering before ADONAI; then it will belong to you and your descendants with you as your perpetual share, as ADONAI has ordered."


• 16 Then Moshe carefully investigated what had happened to the goat of the sin offering and discovered that it had been burned up. He became angry with El'azar and Itamar, the remaining sons of Aharon, and asked,


• 17 "Why didn't you eat the sin offering in the area of the sanctuary, since it is especially holy? He gave it to you to take away the guilt of the community, to make atonement for them before ADONAI. 18 Look! Its blood wasn't brought into the sanctuary! You should have eaten it there in the sanctuary, as I ordered."


• 19 Aharon answered Moshe, "Even though they offered their sin offering and burnt offering today, things like these have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have pleased ADONAI?" 20 On hearing this reply, Moshe was satisfied.

• END

Ezekiel 45:16 to end of chapter

• 16 'All the people in the land are to present this offering to the prince in Isra'el. 17 The prince's obligation will be to present the burnt offerings, grain offerings and drink offerings at the feasts, on Rosh-Hodesh, and on Shabbat - at all the designated times of the house of Isra'el. He is to prepare the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings and peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Isra'el.'


• 18 "Adonai ELOHIM says this: 'On the first day of the first month you are to take a young bull without defect and purify the sanctuary. 19 The cohen will take some of the blood from the sin offering and put it on the door-frames of the house, on the four corners of the altar's ledge and on the supports of the gate of the inner courtyard.


• 20 You are also to do this on the seventh day of the month for everyone who has sinned inadvertently or through ignorance. Thus you will make atonement for the house. 21 "'On the fourteenth day of the first month you are to have the Pesach, a feast seven days long; matzah will be eaten.


• 22 On that day the prince will provide, for himself and for all the people of the land, a young bull as a sin offering. 23 On the seven days of the feast he is to provide a burnt offering for ADONAI, seven young bulls and seven rams without defect daily for the seven days, and a male goat daily as a sin offering.


• 24 He is to provide as a grain offering a bushel [of grain] for a young bull and a bushel for a ram, and for each bushel [of grain] a gallon of olive oil. 25 "'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, during the feast [of Sukkot] he is to do the same thing for those seven days in regard to the sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings and olive oil.' END

Luke 8:1-15

• 1 After this, Yeshua traveled about from town to town and village to village, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him were the Twelve, 2 and a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and illnesses -- Miryam (called Magdalit), from whom seven demons had gone out; 3 Yochanah the wife of Herod's finance minister Kuza; Shoshanah; and many other women who drew on their own wealth to help him.

Luke 8:1-15

• 4 After a large crowd had gathered from the people who kept coming to him from town after town, Yeshua told this parable: 5 "A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the path and was stepped on, and the birds flying around ate it up. 6 Some fell on rock; and after it sprouted, it dried up from lack of moisture. 7 Some fell in the midst of thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.

Luke 8:1-15

• 8 But some fell into rich soil, and grew, and produced a hundred times as much as had been sown." After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear with, let him hear!" 9 His talmidim asked him what this parable might mean, 10 and he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the Kingdom of God; but the rest are taught in parables, so that they may look but not see, and listen but not understand.

Luke 8:1-15

• 11 "The parable is this: the seed is God's message. 12 The ones along the path are those who hear, but then the Adversary comes and takes the message out of their hearts, in order to keep them from being saved by trusting it. 13 The ones on rock are those who, when they hear the word, accept it with joy; but these have no root -- they go on trusting for awhile; but when a time of testing comes, they apostatize.

Luke 8:1-15

• 14 As for what fell in the midst of thorns these are the ones who hear; but as they go along, worries and wealth and life's gratifications crowd in and choke them, so that their fruit never matures. 15 But what fell in rich soil -- these are the ones who, when they hear the message, hold onto it with a good, receptive heart; and by persevering, they bring forth a harvest.

• A group of scientists got together and decided they didn’t need G-d any longer because they had found a way to create life.

• So G-d manifested himself to this group and suggested a contest.

• He said, “Let’s have a contest. Whoever can create life the fastest wins. If you win, I’ll admit man has become greater then G-d.”

Today’s Joke

Messianic Judaism 101Class 5

By Rabbi Stanley

• Today we’re going to look at another Commandment.

• Yeaaaaaa!


• I was going to do two commandments today but I don’t think we’ll have time, we’ll do the other one next week

• We’re going to look at the commandment which instructs us to not wear mixed threads.


• Lev. 19• 19 "'Observe my regulations. "'Don't let your

livestock mate with those of another kind, don't sow your field with two different kinds of grain, and don't wear a garment of cloth made with two different kinds of thread.

• The Complete Jewish Bible


• There is a common misconception that no one keeps this Law today.

• That is absolutely incorrect.


• This Law is in force, and we are required to keep it today just as we were required to keep it when the Torah was given.


• Today, just as in the past, all those who desire to keep the Mitzvote of the Torah are careful not to wear shatnez (mixed fibers literally mixed materials strongs # 8162).


• This is almost as widespread among Jews as keeping kosher.

• Jewish men and women all over the world keep this Mitzvah.


• Now, there’s 2 categories of Laws.

• One is called in Hebrew “mishpat”, a law whose reason is explained.


• The other is called Khok and that one is the theological equivalent of when your dad says…“because I said so”.

• In other words the explanation is not very evident.


• You know there’s a good reason for it, but you don’t know what that reason is.

• As Jews we do as G-d says then we try to figure out why later.


שעטנז

• Shatnez falls under this category of Khok.

• In Hebrew Khok is often translated as “decrees” (but not always).


• Just because the Bible doesn’t give us an exact reason why we should or should not do something doesn’t mean we can’t speculate and try to figure out what the reason is.


• Some believe we shouldn’t mix threads because it was something that was done by pagans at that time.

• That’s a possibility, that’s one possible explanation.


• Maimonides, states that the prohibition was a case of the general law against imitating Canaanite customs.


• Maimonides wrote that: "the heathen priests adorned themselves with garments containing vegetable and animal materials, while they held in their hand a seal of mineral. This you will find written in their books"


• That’s a possibility, that’s one possible explanation.

• Some regard such combinations as a defiance of God, because according to them God had given each species individuality


• I could see that too. It’s possible. Why not?


• Some believe we shouldn’t mix threads for practical reasons because in Biblical times the garments would fall apart easier (ie one thread would shrink faster then the other)


• It makes sense to me too.

• Some believe it has to do with keeping things pure. We see some evidence of that in the passage itself…


• Lev. 19• 19 "'Observe my regulations. "'Don't let your

livestock mate with those of another kind, don't sow your field with two different kinds of grain, and don't wear a garment of cloth made with two different kinds of thread.

• Complete Jewish Bible


• So that idea makes sense too.

• There’s quite a bit of evidence that G-d doesn’t like just any and everything mixed.


• Now, there is some disagreement among the Jews concerning which fibers can and can’t be mixed.

• The passage is clear that no fibers can be mixed together.


• Anything we wear should be 100 percent.

• Some Jews say it only applies to linen and wool.

• Where does this idea come from?


• It comes from Rashi, a Rabbi who lived in the 1100’s.

• Rashi was the Newman (from the television show, Seinfeld) of the medieval times.

• Sometimes he was right but he always made things difficult.

• He points out another Scripture…


• Deut 22:11 • 11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers

sorts, as of woollen and linen together. KJV• The KJV translates it correctly here using the

word “as” but Rashi says it really means that only linen and wool can’t be mixed together.

• The context however disagrees in the 2 previous verses.


• 9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.

• 10 Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.

• Verse 10 is a reference again to lev 19 'Don't let your livestock mate with those of another kind.

• All these verses are talking about mixing any other kind.


• There are Jews that say it’s ok to mix fibers on their Tzit Tzits including wool and linen. We say no way, Ezekiel knocks that idea out of the park.

• It’s made clear in Ezekiel 44:17• 17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in

at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

• Linen only, nothing mixed with it.


• So, as Messianics we don’t go with the Rabbis if they disagree with what the Scripture itself is telling us.


• In this case even the Rabbis disagree so we have to go with the plain interpretation of Scripture (peshat, plain, literal and simple meaning).


• This is why we as Biblical/Torah Observant Messianics say no mixed fibers whatsoever.

• Now, does 100% stamp or label on clothes mean 100% always?


• No it doesn’t.• Just because a label

says 100%, doesn’t mean it’s really 100%.

• By American law it can contain other fibers.


• These two images said they were 100% wool on their tags and neither of them were.

• They were 50% wool and 50% linen.


• http://www.jerusalemkoshernews.com/wp-content/uploads/11-mar-ca-cotton-outfit.pdf

• These garments were tested at a Shatnez Laboratory


• Labels in America don't have to list EVERYTHING that's in a garment; they usually refer only to the shell.

• So what can we do???


• We do the best that we can.

• If it says 100%... I usually go with it.

• And remember I’m not a “Fiber Fed” (or Kippa Cop, Tzit Tzit Czar, Kosher Control etc) it’s all between you and HaShem.


• So I usually go with the label.

• On the other hand…if it says 100% but I’m pretty sure it isn’t, by the feel of it where it’s made or just a gut feeling, etc… I don’t buy it.


• Do some go so far as to have it sent in to a Shatnez laboratory.

• Yeah, some do, but I don’t think we have to go that far.

• There is a Rabbinical rule called the 80% rule…


• If there’s an 80% chance that it’s correct or is ok then it’s ok.

• For example…


• We’ll look at a food example…

• I go to Denny's and I order hash browns. Is it possible that there was pork cooked on that griddle right before my hash browns were cooked and some pork got on my hash browns?


• Yes, it’s possible. • Does that mean I

should never eat at Denny's?

• No, because there’s probably less then a 20% chance an amount of pork got on my hash browns.


• Now does that mean we should buy something that says 80% wool and 20% linen?

• No, because you know it is mixed.

• We’re talking about a 20% chance not a 20% surety.


• So if you buy a garment that says 100%, it’s good enough.

• If someone wants to go to all the trouble of sending it into a Shatnez laboratory (There’s one in Seattle), no one will condemn you, knock yourself out. We just think it’s unnecessary.


• Now, some may say, “Oh this is sooo legalistic. All these rules and regulations it’s all legalism!”

• The problem with using the word “legalism” like this in such a context is that it makes the word “legalism” of no value.


• When we use it this way it simply means one is keeping more commandments then another.


• Take for example…• One person keeps 9 of

the commandments except the commandment thou shalt not murder.

• He could say to the one who keeps all 10 commandments…


• “Oh, how do you do it, your under such a burden of the Law. All those rules and regulations you’re sooo leagalistic”


• Same thing for one who keeps 7 of the Ten Commandments speaking of one who keeps 8 of the Ten Commandments…


• “Oh you keep 8 of them, that’s soooo leagalistic, what a Judaizer you are, you’re building up the middle wall of partition!”


• Keeping G-d’s Laws is not being legalistic, it’s being smart for one.

• For 2 it shows you want to be as close to G-d as possible.


• G-d wouldn’t tell us to be legalistic.

• Legalism is the belief that one is SAVED by works.

• Nobody here believes we’re Saved by works.


• We’re Saved by grace!

• Then we proceed to keep G-d’s Laws so that we may walk in Holiness according to His Word.

• Shabbat Shalom.
