Tsav Command

Leviticus 6:1-8:36 is the source of our study this week.  The Parasha is called Tzav and it come from the first verse on the text in which G-d speaks to Moses and instructs him to Command Aaron and his sons in regards to the burnt offerings.  Although scholars estimate that the altar of this Tabernacle was used for 116 years and the fire burned continuously, the thin copper over-layer never melted and its wooden structure was never burned or even charred! When we walk in obedience to the instruction of the L-rd, everything we use in our worship is sanctified and made indestructible.  In chapter 8 verses 10 through 12, Moses anointed the Tabernacle, every implement in its use, and finally, he anointed Aaron to sanctify them and set them apart for the service of the L-rd. Exodus 30 deals with the blending of the oil used by Moses for this holy purpose.  Verse 29, in talking about anointing the Tabernacle and all of the tools therein tells us "You shall also consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy."  Not only were they made holy, but they were made to impart holiness to everything that touched them.  What a holy G-d we serve; that He can instruct us in the way to blend holy anointing oil; to take what is common as olive oil, and by blending it with certain ingredients, to make it so holy that it imparts holiness to anything that touches what it has touched. Since Y'shua has made every sacrifice that is required, I will not belabor this teaching further.  But, since it is Purim, I do hope you will read the lesson about this important festival celebrated with great joy.  It is, like Passover, a celebration of deliverance from planned extinction of the Jewish people.

Who knows if perhaps you were brought in to the Kingdom for such a time as this??? Rabbi Marty

 

Passover Begins Monday at dark and

he week of unleaven bread begins Tuesday at dark

 

The story of Passover and the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt is abundant with wondrous miracles and fascinating happenings. Some of the remarkable, underlying events leading up to the Exodus are not recounted in the Hagada. Following highlights just a few of the alluring and spectacular aspects of the story of the Exodus as contained in the Torah, Midrash and as discussed by the commentators.
Background - Jews Prosper in Egypt
The Book of Exodus opens with a summary of Jacob's family in Egypt. (Jacob, the third of our three patriarchs, is Abraham's grandson and Isaac's son.) Jacob's 12 sons became the 12 Tribes of Israel. Jacob's second youngest son, Joseph, was sold-off by his brothers, and ultimately found himself in an Egyptian prison. Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dreams regarding upcoming seven years of plenty, followed by seven years of famine. Pharaoh rewarded Joseph with the position of viceroy of Egypt, and Joseph ensured that food was stored to weather the famine, saving the Egyptians (and ultimately his own family) from starvation. While Joseph and his siblings were alive, the Egyptians lived in relative peace with the Jews. G d had blessed the Jews, who were multiplying rapidly, often giving birth to 5 and 6 babies at a time (pre-fertility therapy). While in Egypt, Hebrew women gave birth without pain, and to only healthy children. The Jewish people experienced great prosperity and thrived in Egypt. 124 years after Jacob and his family arrived in Egypt, the last of Jacob's sons (Levi) passed away. A new era erupted in Egypt. The Egyptians grew increasingly nervous about Jewish growth and prosperity. Organized anti-semitism intensified. Ironically, during this time the Jews became quite assimilated, with many turning to idol worship. Only the Levites remained truly observant in the laws of Judaism.
Slavery Begins The Jews were too important to the Egyptian economy to be forced out of the country, but too "dangerous" to be allowed to remain as they were, free people. Pharaoh orchestrated a scheme, in the name of state pride, whereby cities would be rebuilt, and a national work force was assembled. The Jews enlisted, except for the tribe of Levi, who were occupied with the study of Torah. (Although not formally given by G d as yet, Torah laws were known and studied by Adam, Noah, the patriarchs, and people in each generation.) The Egyptians slowly departed from the work force, leaving the Jews as the sole workers, eventually becoming slaves. Since the Levites never joined the work force, they never became enslaved, explaining why Moses and his brother Aaron, both from the tribe of Levi, were able to move about freely in Egypt and able to communicate with Pharaoh. The harsh and inhumane treatment endured by the Hebrews is too well known to us all. Jews were forced not only to work in the muddy fields all day, but in the Egyptian homes at night. Men were assigned women's work, and women assigned men's work. Jewish babies were killed at the hands of the Egyptians. A once thriving, affluent community had been forced into a life of hardship, poverty and horror.
Moses is Born Moses' coming was accurately predicted by Pharaoh's astrologers. Fearful of the birth of a Jewish savior, Pharaoh ordered that all babies, Jew and Egyptian, be drowned. Moses was born to Amram and Yocheved (also known as Shifra), who already had two children, Miriam and Aaron. Shifra was 130 years old when Moses was born. Our sages teach that Amram was a true tzadick (righteous person), and one of only four people to never have committed a sin. The Torah speaks of Moses being born perfect, interpreted as his being born circumcised. As we know, Moses was placed in the Nile River, and found by the Pharaoh's daughter, Batya. Interestlgly, Batya had earlier converted to Judaism and was not affected by any of the Plagues. She was permitted to enter Israel after the Exodus, and was one of only nine righteous people to enter Gan Eden - paradise alive. Batya's maids who tried to interfere with her saving and caring for the baby were stricken dead by the angel Gabriel. Some commentators say that Batya was bathing in the Nile to relieve her leprosy, but upon rescuing Moses she was cured.
Baby Moses refused to nurse from an Egyptian woman, so a wet nurse from among the Jews was summoned. Coincidentally, Moses' real mother, Yocheved, was chosen. (Should the mouth that would one day converse with G d drink unclean milk?) G d's sending Yocheved to nurse Moses was her reward for having worked feverishly to save Jewish babies from the Egyptian decree of death to all babies. While nursing her baby, she would inculcate Moses with Jewish beliefs that would stay with him throughout his life. Moses was eventually placed in charge of the palace. Upon learning that he was actually a Hebrew, Moses grew increasingly interested in the Hebrewss plight, and even managed to persuade Pharaoh to give the Jews one day a week off, Shabbat.
One day, Mosses witnessed an Egyptian strike a Hebrew. The Egyptian had actually just defiled the Hebrew's wife. Moses killed this Egyptian, some commentators say by merely whispering a secret name of G-d in the Egyptian's ear. Fearful of being caught, Moses fled to Midian, where he met and married Zipporah, daughter of Jethro.
Moses in Midian Jethro was the high priest of Midian, knowledgeable of all the world's religions. After his daughter's marriage to Moses, Jethro converted to Judaism. The Torah credits him with being the force behind the establishment of a judicial system.
G d appeared to Moses in the wilderness through the famous burning bush, in the voice of Moses' father so as not to startle him. The bush was a thorn bush, chosen over all other plants to show that G d too was suffering with His people. G d told Moses that He will rescue the Jewish people and bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey. Hashem and Moses conversed for seven days. G d urged Moses to approach Pharaoh for permission to take the Hebrews out of Egypt for a three day journey to serve Hashem. G d also foretold Moses that not only would Pharaoh refuse to heed him, but even the Jews would initially not believe him. Given these great challenges, Moses repeatedly rejected this position as G-d's emissary. Moses had a speech impediment and was not an accomplished orator. Also, some commentators speculate that since Moses left Egypt at a young age, he was limited in his command of the Egyptian language. To ease Moseses' worries, Aaron was given the honor of accompanying Moses and speaking for him. (Because of Moseses' initial reluctance, G d made Aaron, and not Moses, the Kohen Gadol, the high priest. Aaron's descendents are today the Kohanim, and Moseses' descendents are the Levium.) After 12 years in Midian (some commentators say 20 years), Moses returned to Egypt. Moses Returns to Egypt
Moses journeyed to the Hebrews in Egypt to explain his new, divine mission. He rode to Egypt from Midian on a renowned donkey. This donkey had been created during the first six days of Creation. Upon it Abraham rode to sacrifice his son Isaac, and upon it the Messiah will eventually ride to redeem the Jewish nation from this exile. In order to facilitate Moseses' ability to convince the Hebrews and the Egyptians of his calling, G d bestowed upon Moses the ability to perform three miracles: (1) he could turn his staff into a snake; (2) his hand could became leprous, like snow, then heal; and (3) he could turn Nile River water to blood by pouring it on the ground. Moseses' staff was not just any staff, but a special sapphire staff, created by G d on the sixth day of Creation, and passed through the generations, from Adam, eventually to Noah and then the patriarchs. When created it actually had the initials of the Ten Plagues inscribed on it.
By the time Moses returned to Egypt, there had been a Jewish presence in Egypt for 210 years (124 years of freedom and 86 years of slavery). It was not long before Moses and Aaron won the allegiance of the Hebrew elders. Time had arrived for the brothers to visit Pharaoh and convey G-d's demand that His people be freed. On the first visit, Moses and Aaron were accompanied by the Hebrew elders. As the entourage neared the palace, the elders, fearful of Pharaoh, withdrew, so that only Moses and Aaron remained. (As punishment for not accompanying Moses and Aaron, the elders were not permitted to receive the Torah with Moses on Sinai. When the Jews would eventually reach the wilderness upon fleeing Egypt, the Hebrew foremen who accepted punishment from the taskmasters on behalf of the rest of the Jews would become the new elders.) Although the palace was guarded by wild animals, with a wave of Moseses' staff, the animals calmed and trotted beside Moses and Aaron. The first conversation among Moses, Aaron and Pharaoh yielded only harsher treatment for the Hebrews. Moses returned to Midian for six months while G d tested the faith of the Hebrews under the now intensified conditions.
The Plagues
Moses and Aaron paid Pharaoh a second visit. Although they warned Pharaoh of the ensuing punishments, and Moses displayed a few miracles to Pharaoh (e.g. the staff turning into a snake), Pharaoh's sorcerers were able to duplicate these miracles, leaving Pharaoh unmoved. Thus begins the Ten Plagues, the first nine of which can be viewed as three sets of three, plus the final one, the Plague of the First Born, the culminating force in the Hebrews' liberation from Egyptian bondage. Of the three sets of Plagues, the first two Plagues were always preceded by warnings, with the last Plague of the set commencing without warning. Each Plague lasted for seven days, except the Plague of darkness, which lasted for six days. (The seventh day of darkness was not omitted, rather it was postponed for the day the Jews fled Egypt, protecting them from the pursuing Egyptians.) During certain Plagues, Pharaoh summoned Moses to ask that he pray to G-d to end to the Plague, but only during those Plagues which he believed would kill him. Each Plague occurred approximately one month apart. Many of the meetings among Moses, Aaron and Pharaoh were not conducted in the palace, but rather by the shore of the Nile. Why? Because Pharaoh proclaimed himself a god, with no need to perform common bodily functions. He would visit the river early in the morning, unwitnessed, to relieve himself, etc. Moses and Aaron would visit Pharaoh at the shore, per G d's command, to show that they were not fooled like the Egyptians.
FIRST PLAGUE: BLOOD Since the Nile saved Moses' life, it was Aaron, not Moses who was told to strike the waters of the Nile with Moseses' staff and turn the water into blood. All waters throughout the world were affected. Only the Jews had fresh drinking water. If an Egyptian took a Jew's water, it turned to blood, unless the Jew was properly paid for the water. The blood stank and the fish died. Blood oozed from the Egyptian idols as well as from their fruit and vegetables. When an Egyptian spat, he spat blood. Since the Egyptians believed that the Nile was a god, this Plague demonstrated that the Egyptian gods were no match for Hashem. Why did Pharaoh not find this Plague persuasive? The Egyptian magicians were able to duplicate this "trick", so leaving Pharaoh unimpressed. SECOND PLAGUE: FROGS For three weeks Moses warned Pharaoh of this Plague, yet Pharaoh refused to heed. G-d told Moses to instruct Aaron to stretch his hands over the Nile. The country became inundated with frogs. Remarkably, the frogs remained so precisely within the Egyptian borders that old border disputes were resolved by the location of the frogs. (Some commentators say that one large frog appeared from the river. As the Egyptians struck this frog to kill it, numerous smaller frogs poured from its mouth.) The frogs were everywhere, and even managed to enter the bodies of the Egyptians. G d performed a miracle whereby the frogs were able to penetrate the stone homes. (Such miracles where softer substances penetrate harder ones have occurred elsewhere in Jewish history, such as young David's rock penetrating Goliath's helmet.) In the kitchens, frogs followed G-d's command and jumped into the ovens and in the baking food. The croaking noise was unbearable, particularly from those frogs which had invaded the Egyptians' bodies. At Pharaoh's request, Moses asked G-d to stop the Plague. The next day the frogs died, except those that risked their lives in the ovens. The dead frogs created an immensely unpleasant odor.
THIRD PLAGUE: LICE As the third Plague in the first set, this Plague came without warning. The land was covered deep with lice for seven days. Pharaoh's magicians were unable to duplicate this Plague, and warned Pharaoh that this was the work of a powerful being. Upon commencement of this plague, the Hebrews had stopped working in the fields, as there was no more soil upon which to work. Interestingly, Jacob prophetically foresaw this Plague and asked not to be buried in Egypt so that his body would not be infested with the lice. FOURTH PLAGUE: WILD BEASTS. Moses told Pharaoh that the Plague would commence the next day so that it would not be construed as coincidence. G d caused lions, bears, snakes, scorpions, mice, flies and sea monsters to appear. The grounds slithered with snakes and other creatures. Miraculously, the beasts would not enter Goshen, where the Jews lived. Domesticated animals became wild. The animals broke into homes and bit and killed Egyptians. They snatched children from cribs and destroyed trees and crops. During this Plague Pharaoh told Moses that the Jews could serve G-d within Egypt, but as the Jews’ service of G-d included sacrificing animals, including sheep - a god to the Egyptians, the Egyptians would revolt against the Jews. When G d ultimately stopped the Plague, He had the animals leave Egypt instead of killing them so the Egyptians would not benefit from their hides or carcasses.
FIFTH PLAGUE: PESTILENCE All animals belonging to the Egyptians died. Those belonging to a Hebrew and Egyptian and those belonging solely to Hebrews were spared. This Plague revealed which animals the Egyptians stole from the Jews, for if an Egyptian animal remained alive, it was obviously stolen. Shepherds and riders were also killed.
SIXTH PLAGUE: BOILS This Plague was caused by a partnership of G-d, Moses and Aaron. G d ordered Moses and Aaron to take furnace soot in both hands, give it all to Moses, and instructed Moses to hurl it towards the sky. All four fistfuls fit into one of Moses' hands. This small amount of soot spread across the entire country. This Plague, which affected every Egyptian, was a combination of 24 different forms of leprosy. The Plague also affected any remaining Egyptian animals. (Some say that domestic animals were not killed in the fifth Plague.) Pharaoh's magicians suffered so badly they were unable to visit the palace. In fact, unlike the rest of the Egyptians, the magicians suffered beyond the seven days of the Plague, they suffered until their deaths. Pharaoh ultimately asked Moses to bring an end to this Plague. Of course, every time Pharaoh requested relief, he promised to let the Jews go, promises which he always withdrew upon G-d's ceasing of the various Plagues.
SEVENTH PLAGUE: HAIL Included in the warnings Moses delivered to Pharaoh in connection with this Plague, he warned Pharaoh that the Egyptian peoples' belongings and animals should be brought inside because the hail will destroy everything. Moses stretched his staff to the heavens and brought about a fiery and icy hail throughout Egypt. When the Plague began and the Egyptians tried to move their herds, ice walls formed preventing any herd movement. When the Egyptians tried to collect the dead animal bodies for meat and hides, giant birds appeared and carried the carcasses away. The blocks of ice and fire falling from the sky made loud, thunderous noises. Miraculously, although fire ordinarily travels upwards, for this Plague it fell from the sky towards the earth, and even mixed harmoniously with ice. Also, although Goshen was spared, any Egyptian in Goshen was hit by the hail. All crops were destroyed, except a few that were to be destroyed by the Plague of locusts. Pharaoh asked for an end to this Plague. Moses raised his hand and the hail stopped in mid air. (The hail remained in the air for 41 years, raining down during the time for Joshua to assist him in battle.) The thunder also made an immediate halt, also to be used at a later date. Why did the thunder stop suddenly? Pharaoh was about to praise G d. Not wanting the praise of a rasha, a wicked person, G d caused a sudden halt to the hail, thereby preempting Pharaoh's lauding.
EIGHTH PLAGUE: LOCUSTS Not inclined to accept Pharaoh's offer that only men be permitted to leave to serve Hashem, Moses raised his hands. An east wind carried with it locusts which covered the surface of the earth and consumed any remaining vegetation not destroyed by the hail. These were unique locusts, with teeth like iron and horns like oxen, wings like eagles and poison for saliva. They devoured the Egyptians' cloths and jewelry. Pharaoh's own servants begged him to finally let the Jews go.
NINTH PLAGUE: DARKNESS This is a particularly intriguing Plague. Not only did this Plague cause a complete absence of light for the Egyptians, extinguishing all flames, but after three days the darkness turned into a thick, murky, physical substance preventing the Egyptians from moving for three additional days. If an Egyptian was siting in a certain position, or perhaps standing when the Plague intensified, he or she was fixed in that position. The Egyptians were able to see one thing, however. They were able to see the Jews in Goshen, unaffected by this Plague, laughing, moving about and enjoying themselves. This Plague also served an important function. Those Jews who were so assimilated that they did not deserve to be freed, that had no hope of returning to the covenant with Israel, did not survive this Plague. A majority (approximately 80%) of the Jews living in Egypt were killed. The darkness hid these deaths, so the Egyptians would not claim that the Jew's were likewise being afflicted with punishment from G-d. Also, the darkness permitted the Jews to enter into the houses of the Egyptians take stock of the Egyptians' valuables, for when they were allowed to depart Egypt, they would ask to take these valuables with them. (Outstanding wages for years of unpaid labor adds up!) Moreover, G d had told Abraham that his descendants would be oppressed, but would leave captivity wealthy. The Jews did not steal a single item from the Egyptians during this Plague. TENTH PLAGUE: DEATH OF THE FIRST BORN. This most serious and grave Plague affected every Egyptian household and family. G d Himself carried out this Plague. The only Egyptian firstborn not affected was Pharaoh (in addition to his daughter Batya), so that he would live to tell the story. Interestingly, the “first born� as it pertains to this Plague is far greater than just the eldest child. If a man had children by more than one woman, as was common, then each eldest child from every such union was a first born. If a household did not have a first born by the broadest definition, then the oldest person in the house would die. Even first born Egyptians out of the country at this time were stricken by this Plague. Idols rotted and melted. Some were in agony for up to three days until their deaths. Pharaoh finally asked Moses to take the Jews out of Egypt. He also asked Moses for his blessing, fearful of himself being stricken by this Plague. Moses had Pharaoh shout for all to hear that the Jews were free. Pharaoh's voice miraculously carried throughout the land. Although Pharaoh wanted them to leave immediately, at night, Moses said he would wait for daylight, and leave proudly. 86 years of slavery was now over! It should be noted that G d had originally informed Abraham that his children would be enslaved in a foreign land for 400 years. This terrible decree was mitigated, so that the 400 years were counted from the birth of Isaac, and thus the Jews were in Egypt for only 210 years, 86 of which they endured harsh slavery. As a side note, thirty years earlier, believing that the pronounced 400 years of slavery had ended, members of the tribe of Ephraim departed Egypt. They were all slaughtered in a bloody massacre. 600,000 adult males, and perhaps twice as many women and children left Egypt. (Some believe that the actual number of males was 599,999 with Hashem being counted as the 600,000th.) The Jewish people prepared for their exodus by collecting wealth from the Egyptians, while Moses retrieved Joseph's coffin for burial in Israel. Joseph’s sons promised their father that he would be buried in Israel. Moses fulfilled this promise. Each Jew left Egypt with 90 donkeys filled with riches. The matzo they made while departing miraculously lasted for 30 days. The angel of G d traveled in front of the Jews, but when the Egyptians approached, the angel traveled behind them for protection. Of course, Pharaoh had a change of heart and soon assembled an immense army to overtake the Jews.
While Moses and Aaron led the men out of Egypt, Miriam, their sister, led the women. The Jews were accompanied by converts from many nations, including Egypt, as well as by Egyptian spies. After three days in the wilderness, these spies warned the Jews to return to Egypt. The Jews resisted. The spies returned, telling Pharaoh where the Jews were. The same two Hebrews who several years earlier told Pharaoh that young Moses had killed an Egyptian now complained to Moses of their fear of the approaching Egyptians, sparking panic among the Jews. Pharaoh's men soon caught up with the Jews, who were protected from the Egyptian arrows by the angel of G d who remained behind them. The Egyptians were further slowed by the imposition of a day of darkness, the remaining day not used during the Plague. The Egyptians continued to advance upon the Jews until the Jews reached the shores of the Red Sea. Water in front of them, Egyptian soldiers behind them. Nowhere to run. Some authorities have the Jews at this point fighting the waves and entering the Red Sea, while others have the leader of the tribe of Judah jumping into the sea. Either way, the sea roared and miraculously split. Not only did the Red Sea split, but it divided into 13 passageways, one for each tribe and another passageway for converts. Water all over the world likewise split, in lakes, rivers and even jars. The water forming the passage ways congealed not only on the sides forming walls, but above them as well. Imprinted on the walls of congealed water were beautiful mosaics. The translucent walls permitted the Jews to see the other tribes crossing through the passageways. The ground beneath their feet was dry. If thirsty while crossing, all one had to do was stretch out his hand, melting the wall and yielding a sweet tasting water. The angel Gabriel stood by the sea, watching the Jews pass, ensuring that the water on the sides and above them would not collapse. The Egyptians caught up with the Jews by the sea and dove in. As the last Egyptian entered the sea, Moses was commanded to lower his arms, thus drowning the Egyptians. It is said that the pain and suffering imposed upon the Egyptians as a result of the drowning is five times as great as the Plagues. The dying Egyptian bodies were deposited on the shore. This proved to the Jews that not only were the Egyptians dead, but that the only ones killed by the water were Egyptians, not their fellow Jews. What happened to Pharaoh? He is said to have survived his army, and to have witnessed the joy and celebration of the Jews. Some believe he too eventually drowned, while others contend he lived his remaining days in exile, proclaiming G-d’s greatness. The story of Passover and the Exodus from Egypt is truly one of the most magnificent historic and biblical stories of all time. We learn of the greatest prophet who ever lived, Moses, and his brother Aaron, also a great prophet, and of the majesty, grandeur and splendor of G-d. We should never forget the suffering endured by our ancestors, or the miracles that paved the way towards their freedom.

If his offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, he shall choose his offering from turtledoves or pigeons. The priest shall bring it to the altar, pinch off its head, and turn it into smoke on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out against the side of the altar. He shall remove its crop with its contents, and cast it into the place of the ashes, at the east side of the altar. The priest shall tear it open by its wings, without severing it, and turn it into smoke on the altar, upon the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to the Lord. When a person presents an offering of meal to the Lord, his offering shall be of choice flour; he shall pour oil upon it, lay frankincense on it, and present it to Aaron's sons, the priests. The priest shall scoop out of it a handful of its choice flour and oil, as well as all of its frankincense; and this token portion he shall turn into smoke on the altar, as an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to the Lord. And the remainder of the meal offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the Lord's offerings by fire. When you present an offering of meal baked in the oven, [it shall be of] choice flour: unleavened cakes with oil mixed in, or unleavened wafers spread with oil. If your offering is a meal offering on a griddle, it shall be of choice flour with oil mixed in, unleavened. 6 Break it into bits and pour oil on it; it is a meal offering. If your offering is a meal offering in a pan, it shall be made of choice flour in oil. When you present to the Lord a meal offering that is made in any of these ways, it shall be brought to the priest who shall take it up to the altar. The priest shall remove the token portion from the meal offering and turn it into smoke on the altar as an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to the Lord. And the remainder of the meal offering shall be for Aaron and his sons, a most holy portion from the Lord's offerings by fire. No meal offering that you offer to the Lord shall be made with leaven, for no leaven or honey may be turned into smoke as an offering by fire to the Lord. You may bring them to the Lord as an offering of choice products; but they shall not be offered up on the altar for a pleasing odor. You shall season your every offering of meal with salt; you shall not omit from your meal offering the salt of your covenant with God; with all your offerings you must offer salt. If you bring a meal offering of first fruits to the Lord, you shall bring new ears parched with fire, grits of the fresh grain, as your meal offering of first fruits. You shall add oil to it and lay frankincense on it; it is a meal offering. And the priest shall turn a token portion of it into smoke: some of the grits and oil, with all of the frankincense, as an offering by fire to the Lord.
If his offering is a sacrifice of well-being-- If he offers of the herd, whether a male or a female, he shall bring before the Lord one without blemish. He shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall dash the blood against all sides of the altar. He shall then present from the sacrifice of well-being, as an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is about the entrails; the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, that is at the loins; and the protuberance on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. Aaron's sons shall turn these into smoke on the altar, with the burnt offering which is upon the wood that is on the fire, as an offering by fire, of pleasing odor to the Lord. And if his offering for a sacrifice of well-being to the Lord is from the flock, whether a male or a female, he shall offer one without blemish. If he presents a sheep as his offering, he shall bring it before the Lord and lay his hand upon the head of his offering. It shall be slaughtered before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron's sons shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar. He shall then present, as an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat from the sacrifice of well-being: the whole broad tail, which shall be removed close to the backbone; the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is about the entrails; the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, that is at the loins; and the protuberance on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. The priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire to the Lord. And if his offering is a goat, he shall bring it before the Lord and lay his hand upon its head. It shall be slaughtered before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron's sons shall dash its blood against all sides of the altar. He shall then present as his offering from it, as an offering by fire to the Lord, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is about the entrails; the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, that is at the loins; and the protuberance on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys. The priest shall turn these into smoke on the altar as food, an offering by fire, of pleasing odor. All fat is the Lord's. It is a law for all time throughout the ages, in all your settlements: you must not eat any fat or any blood. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the Israelite people thus: When a person unwittingly incurs guilt in regard to any of the Lord's commandments about things not to be done, and does one of them--If it is the anointed priest who has incurred guilt, so that blame falls upon the people, he shall offer for the sin of which he is guilty a bull of the herd without blemish as a sin offering to the Lord. He shall bring the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, before the Lord, and lay his hand upon the head of the bull. The bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord, and the anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.

The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, in front of the curtain of the Shrine. The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of aromatic incense, which is in the Tent of Meeting, before the Lord; and all the rest of the bull's blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. He shall remove all the fat from the bull of sin offering: the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is about the entrails; the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, that is at the loins; and the protuberance on the liver, which he shall remove with the kidneys--just as it is removed from the ox of the sacrifice of well-being. The priest shall turn them into smoke on the altar of burnt offering. But the hide of the bull, and all its flesh, as well as its head and legs, its entrails and its dung--all the rest of the bull--he shall carry to a clean place outside the camp, to the ash heap, and burn it up in a wood fire; it shall be burned on the ash heap.
If it is the whole community of Israel that has erred and the matter escapes the notice of the congregation, so that they do any of the things which by the Lord's commandments ought not to be done, and they realize their guilt--when the sin through which they incurred guilt becomes known, the congregation shall offer a bull of the herd as a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. The elders of the community shall lay their hands upon the head of the bull before the Lord, and the bull shall be slaughtered before the Lord. The anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull into the Tent of Meeting, and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle of it seven times before the Lord, in front of the curtain. Some of the blood he shall put on the horns of the altar which is before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting, and all the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. He shall remove all its fat from it and turn it into smoke on the altar. He shall do with this bull just as is done with the [priest's] bull of sin offering; he shall do the same with it. Thus the priest shall make expiation for them, and they shall be forgiven. He shall carry the bull outside the camp and burn it as he burned the first bull; it is the sin offering of the congregation.

In case it is a chieftain who incurs guilt by doing unwittingly any of the things which by the commandment of the Lord his God ought not to be done, and he realizes his guilt--or the sin of which he is guilty is brought to his knowledge--he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish. He shall lay his hand upon the goat's head, and it shall be slaughtered at the spot where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the Lord; it is a sin offering. The priest shall take with his finger some of the blood of the sin offering and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. All its fat he shall turn into smoke on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of well-being. Thus the priest shall make expiation on his behalf for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.And if his means do not suffice for two turtledoves or two pigeons, he shall bring as his offering for that of which he is guilty a tenth of an ephah of choice flour for a sin offering; he shall not add oil to it or lay frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering. He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall scoop out of it a handful as a token portion of it and turn it into smoke on the altar, with the Lord's offerings by fire; it is a sin offering. Thus the priest shall make expiation on his behalf for whichever of these sins he is guilty, and he shall be forgiven. It shall belong to the priest, like the meal offering.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: When a person commits a trespass, being unwittingly remiss about any of the Lord's sacred things, he shall bring as his penalty to the Lord a ram without blemish from the flock, convertible into payment in silver by the sanctuary weight, as a guilt offering. He shall make restitution for that wherein he was remiss about the sacred things, and he shall add a fifth part to it and give it to the priest. The priest shall make expiation on his behalf with the ram of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven. And when a person, without knowing it, sins in regard to any of the Lord's commandments about things not to be done, and then realizes his guilt, he shall be subject to punishment. He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering. The priest shall make expiation on his behalf for the error that he committed unwittingly, and he shall be forgiven. It is a guilt offering; he has incurred guilt before the Lord. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: When a person sins and commits a trespass against the Lord by dealing deceitfully with his fellow in the matter of a deposit or a pledge, or through robbery, or by defrauding his fellow, or by finding something lost and lying about it; if he swears falsely regarding any one of the various things that one may do and sin thereby--when one has thus sinned and, realizing his guilt, would restore that which he got through robbery or fraud, or the deposit that was entrusted to him, or the lost thing that he found, or anything else about which he swore falsely, he shall repay the principal amount and add a fifth part to it. He shall pay it to its owner when he realizes his guilt. Then he shall bring to the priest, as his penalty to the Lord, a ram without blemish from the flock, or the equivalent, as a guilt offering. The priest shall make expiation on his behalf before the Lord, and he shall be forgiven for whatever he may have done to draw blame thereby.

Ecclesiastes 6:1-2

There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease

Torah Vayak'hel "And assembled" Exodus 35:1-40:38 Haftarah 1 Kings 7:51-8:21 Brit hadasha Mark 15-16

Moses then convoked the whole Israelite community and said to them: These are the things that the Lord has commanded you to do: On six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death. You shall kindle no fire throughout your settlements on the sabbath day. Moses said further to the whole community of Israelites: This is what the Lord has commanded: Take from among you gifts to the Lord; everyone whose heart so moves him shall bring them--gifts for the Lord: gold, silver, and copper; blue, purple, and crimson yarns, fine linen, and goats' hair; tanned ram skins, dolphin skins, and acacia wood; oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for the aromatic incense; lapis lazuli and other stones for setting, for the ephod and the breastpiece. And let all among you who are skilled come and make all that the Lord has commanded: the Tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its clasps and its planks, its bars, its posts, and its sockets; the ark and its poles, the cover, and the curtain for the screen; the table, and its poles and all its utensils; and the bread of display; the lampstand for lighting, its furnishings and its lamps, and the oil for lighting; the altar of incense and its poles; the anointing oil and the aromatic incense; and the entrance screen for the entrance of the Tabernacle; the altar of burnt offering, its copper grating, its poles, and all its furnishings; the laver and its stand; the hangings of the enclosure, its posts and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court; the pegs for the Tabernacle, the pegs for the enclosure, and their cords; the service vestments for officiating in the sanctuary, the sacral vestments of Aaron the priest and the vestments of his sons for priestly service.

So the whole community of the Israelites left Moses' presence. And everyone who excelled in ability and everyone whose spirit moved him came, bringing to the Lord his offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting and for all its service and for the sacral vestments. Men and women, all whose hearts moved them, all who would make an elevation offering of gold to the Lord, came bringing brooches, earrings, rings, and pendants--gold objects of all kinds. And everyone who had in his possession blue, purple, and crimson yarns, fine linen, goats' hair, tanned ram skins, and dolphin skins, brought them; everyone who would make gifts of silver or copper brought them as gifts for the Lord; and everyone who had in his possession acacia wood for any work of the service brought that. And all the skilled women spun with their own hands, and brought what they had spun, in blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and in fine linen. And all the women who excelled in that skill spun the goats' hair. And the chieftains brought lapis lazuli and other stones for setting, for the ephod and for the breastpiece; and spices and oil for lighting, for the anointing oil, and for the aromatic incense. Thus the Israelites, all the men and women whose hearts moved them to bring anything for the work that the Lord, through Moses, had commanded to be done, brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord.
And Moses said to the Israelites: See, the Lord has singled out by name Bezalel, son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. He has endowed him with a divine spirit of skill, ability, and knowledge in every kind of craft and has inspired him to make designs for work in gold, silver, and copper, to cut stones for setting and to carve wood--to work in every kind of designer's craft--and to give directions. He and Oholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan have been endowed with the skill to do any work--of the carver, the designer, the embroiderer in blue, purple, crimson yarns, and in fine linen, and of the weaver--as workers in all crafts and as makers of designs. Let, then, Bezalel and Oholiab and all the skilled persons whom the Lord has endowed with skill and ability to perform expertly all the tasks connected with the service of the sanctuary carry out all that the Lord has commanded. Moses then called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the Lord had endowed with skill, everyone who excelled in ability, to undertake the task and carry it out. They took over from Moses all the gifts that the Israelites had brought, to carry out the tasks connected with the service of the sanctuary. But when these continued to bring freewill offerings to him morning after morning, all the artisans who were engaged in the tasks of the sanctuary came, each from the task upon which he was engaged, and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than is needed for the tasks entailed in the work that the Lord has commanded to be done." Moses thereupon had this proclamation made throughout the camp: "Let no man or woman make further effort toward gifts for the sanctuary!" So the people stopped bringing: their efforts had been more than enough for all the tasks to be done.Then all the skilled among those engaged in the work made the tabernacle of ten strips of cloth, which they made of fine twisted linen, blue, purple, and crimson yarns; into these they worked a design of cherubim. The length of each cloth was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each cloth was four cubits, all cloths having the same measurements. They joined five of the cloths to one another, and they joined the other five cloths to one another. They made loops of blue wool on the edge of the outermost cloth of the one set, and did the same on the edge of the outermost cloth of the other set: they made fifty loops on the one cloth, and they made fifty loops on the edge of the end cloth of the other set, the loops being opposite one another. And they made fifty gold clasps and coupled the units to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one whole.

They made cloths of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; they made the cloths eleven in number. The length of each cloth was thirty cubits, and the width of each cloth was four cubits, the eleven cloths having the same measurements. They joined five of the cloths by themselves, and the other six cloths by themselves. They made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost cloth of the one set, and they made fifty loops on the edge of the end cloth of the other set. They made fifty copper clasps to couple the tent together so that it might become one whole. And they made a covering of tanned ram skins for the tent, and a covering of dolphin skins above. They made the planks for the Tabernacle of acacia wood, upright. The length of each plank was ten cubits, the width of each plank a cubit and a half. Each plank had two tenons, parallel to each other; they did the same with all the planks of the Tabernacle. Of the planks of the Tabernacle, they made twenty planks for the south side, making forty silver sockets under the twenty planks, two sockets under one plank for its two tenons and two sockets under each following plank for its two tenons; and for the other side wall of the Tabernacle, the north side, twenty planks, with their forty silver sockets, two sockets under one plank and two sockets under each following plank. And for the rear of the Tabernacle, to the west, they made six planks; and they made two planks for the corners of the Tabernacle at the rear. They matched at the bottom, but terminated as one at the top into one ring; they did so with both of them at the two corners. Thus there were eight planks with their sockets of silver: sixteen sockets, two under each plank.

They made bars of acacia wood, five for the planks of the one side wall of the Tabernacle, five bars for the planks of the other side wall of the Tabernacle, and five bars for the planks of the wall of the Tabernacle at the rear, to the west; they made the center bar to run, halfway up the planks, from end to end. They overlaid the planks with gold, and made their rings of gold, as holders for the bars; and they overlaid the bars with gold. They made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, working into it a design of cherubim. They made for it four posts of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and they cast for them four silver sockets. They made the screen for the entrance of the Tent, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, done in embroidery; and five posts for it with their hooks. They overlaid their tops and their bands with gold; but the five sockets were of copper. Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and out; and he made a gold molding for it round about. He cast four gold rings for it, for its four feet: two rings on one of its side walls and two rings on the other. He made poles of acacia wood, overlaid them with gold, and inserted the poles into the rings on the side walls of the ark for carrying the ark.

He made a cover of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work, at the two ends of the cover: one cherub at one end and the other cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at its two ends. The cherubim had their wings spread out above, shielding the cover with their wings. They faced each other; the faces of the cherubim were turned toward the cover. He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high; he overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold molding around it. He made a rim of a hand's breadth around it and made a gold molding for its rim round about. He cast four gold rings for it and attached the rings to the four corners at its four legs. The rings were next to the rim, as holders for the poles to carry the table. He made the poles of acacia wood for carrying the table, and overlaid them with gold. The utensils that were to be upon the table--its bowls, ladles, jugs, and jars with which to offer libations--he made of pure gold. He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand--its base and its shaft--of hammered work; its cups, calyxes, and petals were of one piece with it. Six branches issued from its sides: three branches from one side of the lampstand, and three branches from the other side of the lampstand. There were three cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on one branch; and there were three cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals, on the next branch; so for all six branches issuing from the lampstand. On the lampstand itself there were four cups shaped like almond-blossoms, each with calyx and petals: a calyx, of one piece with it, under a pair of branches; and a calyx, of one piece with it, under the second pair of branches; and a calyx, of one piece with it, under the last pair of branches; so for all six branches issuing from it. Their calyxes and their stems were of one piece with it, the whole of it a single hammered piece of pure gold. He made its seven lamps, its tongs, and its fire pans of pure gold. He made it and all its furnishings out of a talent of pure gold.

He made the incense altar of acacia wood, a cubit long and a cubit wide--square--and two cubits high; its horns were of one piece with it. He overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides round about, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it round about. He made two gold rings for it under its molding, on its two walls--on opposite sides--as holders for the poles with which to carry it. He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. He prepared the sacred anointing oil and the pure aromatic incense, expertly blended. He made the altar for burnt offering of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide--square--and three cubits high. He made horns for it on its four corners, the horns being of one piece with it; and he overlaid it with copper. He made all the utensils of the altar--the pails, the scrapers, the basins, the flesh hooks, and the fire pans; he made all these utensils of copper. He made for the altar a grating of meshwork in copper, extending below, under its ledge, to its middle. He cast four rings, at the four corners of the copper grating, as holders for the poles. He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with copper; and he inserted the poles into the rings on the sidewalls of the altar, to carry it by them. He made it hollow, of boards. He made the laver of copper and its stand of copper, from the mirrors of the women who performed tasks at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. He made the enclosure: On the south side, a hundred cubits of hangings of fine twisted linen for the enclosure--with their twenty posts and their twenty sockets of copper, the hooks and bands of the posts being silver. On the north side, a hundred cubits--with their twenty posts and their twenty sockets of copper, the hooks and bands of the posts being silver. On the west side, fifty cubits of hangings--with their ten posts and their ten sockets, the hooks and bands of the posts being silver. And on the front side, to the east, fifty cubits: fifteen cubits of hangings on the one flank, with their three posts and their three sockets, and fifteen cubits of hangings on the other flank--on each side of the gate of the enclosure--with their three posts and their three sockets.

All the hangings around the enclosure were of fine twisted linen. The sockets for the posts were of copper, the hooks and bands of the posts were of silver, the overlay of their tops was of silver; all the posts of the enclosure were banded with silver. The screen of the gate of the enclosure, done in embroidery, was of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen. It was twenty cubits long. Its height--or width--was five cubits, like that of the hangings of the enclosure. The posts were four; their four sockets were of copper, their hooks of silver; and the overlay of their tops was of silver, as were also their bands. All the pegs of the Tabernacle and of the enclosure round about were of copper.These are the records of the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of the Pact, which were drawn up at Moses' bidding--the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. Now Bezalel, son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, had made all that the Lord had commanded Moses; at his side was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, carver and designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and crimson yarns and in fine linen. All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary--the elevation offering of gold--came to 29 talents and 730 shekels by the sanctuary weight. The silver of those of the community who were recorded came to 100 talents and 1,775 shekels by the sanctuary weight: a half-shekel a head, half a shekel by the sanctuary weight, for each one who was entered in the records, from the age of twenty years up, 603,550 men. The 100 talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets for the curtain, 100 sockets to the 100 talents, a talent a socket and of the 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the posts, overlay for their tops, and bands around them.

The copper from the elevation offering came to 70 talents and 2,400 shekels. Of it he made the sockets for the entrance of the Tent of Meeting; the copper altar and its copper grating and all the utensils of the altar; the sockets of the enclosure round about and the sockets of the gate of the enclosure; and all the pegs of the Tabernacle and all the pegs of the enclosure round about. Of the blue, purple, and crimson yarns they also made the service vestments for officiating in the sanctuary; they made Aaron's sacral vestments--as the Lord had commanded Moses.The ephod was made of gold, blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen. They hammered out sheets of gold and cut threads to be worked into designs among the blue, the purple, and the crimson yarns, and the fine linen. They made for it attaching shoulder-pieces; they were attached at its two Ends. The decorated band that was upon it was made like it, of one piece with it; of gold, blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen--as the Lord had commanded Moses. They bordered the lazuli stones with frames of gold, engraved with seal engravings of the names of the sons of Israel. They were set on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the Israelites--as the Lord had commanded Moses.

The breastpiece was made in the style of the ephod: of gold, blue, purple, an crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen. It was square; they made the breastpiece doubled--a span in length and a span in width, doubled. They set in it four rows of stones. The first row was a row of carnelian, chrysolite, and emerald; the second row: a turquoise, a sapphire, and an amethyst; the third row: a jacinth, an agate, and a crystal; and the fourth row: a beryl, a lapis lazuli, and a jasper. They were encircled in their mountings with frames of gold. The stones corresponded [in number] to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve, corresponding to their names; engraved like seals, each with its name, for the twelve tribes. On the breastpiece they made braided chains of corded work in pure gold. They made two frames of gold and two rings of gold, and fastened the two rings at the two ends of the breastpiece, attaching the two golden cords to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece. They then fastened the two ends of the cords to the two frames, attaching them to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at the front. They made two rings of gold and attached them to the two ends of the breastpiece, at its inner edge, which faced the ephod. They made two other rings of gold and fastened them on the front of the ephod, low on the two shoulder-pieces, close to its seam above the decorated band. The breastpiece was held in place by a cord of blue from its rings to the rings of the ephod, so that the breastpiece rested on the decorated band and did not come loose from the ephod--as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The robe for the ephod was made of woven work, of pure blue. The opening of the robe, in the middle of it, was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around the opening, so that it would not tear. On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, twisted. They also made bells of pure gold, and attached the bells between the pomegranates, all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates: a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the them of the robe for officiating in--as the Lord had commanded Moses.They made the tunics of fine linen, of woven work, for Aaron and his sons; and the headdress of fine linen, and the decorated turbans of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twisted linen; and sashes of fine twisted linen, blue, purple, and crimson yarns, done in embroidery--as the Lord had commanded Moses they made the frontlet for the holy diadem of pure gold, and incised upon it the seal inscription: "Holy to the Lord." They attached to it a cord of blue to fix it upon the headdress above--as the Lord had commanded Moses. Thus was completed all the work of the Tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting. The Israelites did so, just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so they did.
Then they brought the Tabernacle to Moses, with the Tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its planks, its bars, its posts, and its sockets; the covering of tanned ram skins, the covering of dolphin skins, and the curtain for the screen; the Ark of the Pact and its poles, and the cover; the table and all its utensils, and the bread of display; the pure lampstand, its lamps--lamps in due order--and all its fittings, and the oil for lighting; the altar of gold, the oil for anointing, the aromatic incense, and the screen for the entrance of the Tent; the copper altar with its copper grating, its poles and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand; the hangings of the enclosure, its posts and its sockets, the screen for the gate of the enclosure, its cords and its pegs--all the furnishings for the service of the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting; the service vestments for officiating in the sanctuary, the sacral vestments of Aaron the priest, and the vestments of his sons for priestly service. Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the Israelites had done all the work. And when Moses saw that they had performed all the tasks--as the Lord had commanded, so they had done--Moses blessed them. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: On the first day of the first month you shall set up the Tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting. Place there the Ark of the Pact, and screen off the ark with the curtain. Bring in the table and lay out its due setting; bring in the lampstand and light its lamps; and place the gold altar of incense before the Ark of the Pact. Then put up the screen for the entrance of the Tabernacle.

You shall place the altar of burnt offering before the entrance of the Tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting. Place the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it. Set up the enclosure round about, and put in place the screen for the gate of the enclosure. You shall take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle and all that is in it to consecrate it and all its furnishings, so that it shall be holy. Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils to consecrate the altar, so that the altar shall be most holy. And anoint the laver and its stand to consecrate it. You shall bring Aaron and his sons forward to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and wash them with the water. Put the sacral vestments on Aaron, and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve Me as priest. Then bring his sons forward, put tunics on them, and anoint them as you have anointed their father, that they may serve Me as priests. This their anointing shall serve them for everlasting priesthood throughout the ages. This Moses did; just as the Lord had commanded him, so he did.
In the first month of the second year, on the first of the month, the Tabernacle was set up. Moses set up the Tabernacle, placing its sockets, setting up its planks, inserting its bars, and erecting its posts. He spread the tent over the Tabernacle, placing the covering of the tent on top of it--just as the Lord had commanded Moses. He took the Pact and placed it in the ark; he fixed the poles to the ark, placed the cover on top of the ark, and brought the ark inside the Tabernacle. Then he put up the curtain for screening, and screened off the Ark of the Pact--just as the Lord had commanded Moses. He placed the table in the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain, on the north side of the Tabernacle. Upon it he laid out the setting of bread before the Lord--as the Lord had commanded Moses. He placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table, on the south side of the Tabernacle. And he lit the lamps before the Lord--as the Lord had commanded Moses. He placed the altar of gold in the Tent of Meeting, before the curtain. On it he burned aromatic incense--as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then he put up the screen for the entrance of the Tabernacle. At the entrance of the Tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting he placed the altar of burnt offering. On it he offered up the burnt offering and the meal offering--as the Lord had commanded Moses. He placed the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing. From it Moses and Aaron and his sons would wash their hands and feet; they washed when they entered the Tent of Meeting and when they approached the altar--as the Lord had commanded Moses. And he set up the enclosure around the Tabernacle and the altar, and put up the screen for the gate of the enclosure. When Moses had finished the work, the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the Presence of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud had settled upon it and the Presence of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. When the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the Israelites would set out, on their various journeys; but if the cloud did not lift, they would not set out until such time as it did lift. For over the Tabernacle a cloud of the Lord rested by day, and fire would appear in it by night, in the view of all the house of Israel throughout their journeys.

Prison weekly Adar 20 5770




SHALOM

 This Parsha is for Shabbath 20 Adar, 5770

This Weeks Torah Parsha is Ki Tisa "When you Take" Exodus 30:11-34:35

Haftarah 1 Kings 18:1-39 Gospel 1Corinthians 8:4-13

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: When you take a census of the Israelite people according to their enrollment, each shall pay the Lord a ransom for himself on being enrolled, that no plague may come upon them through their being enrolled. This is what everyone who is entered in the records shall pay: a half-shekel by the sanctuary weight--twenty gerahs to the shekel--a half-shekel as an offering to the Lord. Everyone who is entered in the records, from the age of twenty years up, shall give the Lord's offering: the rich shall not pay more and the poor shall not pay less than half a shekel when giving the Lord's offering as expiation for your persons. You shall take the expiation money from the Israelites and assign it to the service of the Tent of Meeting; it shall serve the Israelites as a reminder before the Lord, as expiation for your persons. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Make a laver of copper and a stand of copper for it, for washing; and place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar. Put water in it, and let Aaron and his sons wash their hands and feet [in water drawn] from it. When they enter the Tent of Meeting they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they approach the altar to serve, to turn into smoke an offering by fire to the Lord, they shall wash their hands and feet, that they may not die. It shall be a law for all time for them--for him and his offspring--throughout the ages. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Next take choice spices: five hundred weight of solidified myrrh, half as much--two hundred and fifty--of fragrant cinnamon, two hundred and fifty of aromatic cane, five hundred--by the sanctuary weight--of cassia, and a hin of olive oil. Make of this a sacred anointing oil, a compound of ingredients expertly blended, to serve as sacred anointing oil. With it anoint the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Pact, the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and all its fittings, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand. Thus you shall consecrate them so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be consecrated. You shall also anoint Aaron and his sons, consecrating them to serve Me as priests. And speak to the Israelite people, as follows: This shall be an anointing oil sacred to Me throughout the ages. It must not be rubbed on any person's body, and you must not make anything like it in the same proportions; it is sacred, to be held sacred by you. Whoever compounds its like, or puts any of it on a layman, shall be cut off from his kin.

And the Lord said to Moses: Take the herbs stacte, onycha, and galbanum--these herbs together with pure frankincense; let there be an equal part of each. Make them into incense, a compound expertly blended, refined, pure, sacred. Beat some of it into powder, and put some before the Pact in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you. But when you make this incense, you must not make any in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be held by you sacred to the Lord. Whoever makes any like it, to smell of it, shall be cut off from his kin. The Lord spoke to Moses: See, I have singled out by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have endowed him with a divine spirit of skill, ability, and knowledge in every kind of craft; to make designs for work in gold, silver, and copper, to cut stones for setting and to carve wood--to work in every kind of craft. Moreover, I have assigned to him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have also granted skill to all who are skillful, that they may make everything that I have commanded you: the Tent of Meeting, the Ark for the Pact and the cover upon it, and all the furnishings of the Tent; the table and its utensils, the pure lampstand and all its fittings, and the altar of incense; the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand; the service vestments, the sacral vestments of Aaron the priest and the vestments of his sons, for their service as priests; as well as the anointing oil and the aromatic incense for the sanctuary. Just as I have commanded you, they shall do. And the Lord said to Moses: Speak to the Israelite people and say: Nevertheless, you must keep My sabbaths, for this is a sign between Me and you throughout the ages, that you may know that I the Lord have consecrated you. You shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy for you. He who profanes it shall be put to death: whoever does work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his kin. Six days may work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does work on the sabbath day shall be put to death. The Israelite people shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath throughout the ages as a covenant for all time: it shall be a sign for all time between Me and the people of Israel. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and was refreshed.

When He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the Pact, stone tablets inscribed with the finger of God. When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered against Aaron and said to him, "Come, make us a god who shall go before us, for that man Moses, who brought us from the land of Egypt--we do not know what has happened to him." Aaron said to them, "Take off the gold rings that are on the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." And all the people took off the gold rings that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. This he took from them and cast in a mold, and made it into a molten calf. And they exclaimed, "This is your god, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!" When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron announced: "Tomorrow shall be a festival of the Lord!" Early next day, the people offered up burnt offerings and brought sacrifices of well-being; they sat down to eat and drink, and then rose to dance. The Lord spoke to Moses, "Hurry down, for your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, have acted basely. They have been quick to turn aside from the way that I enjoined upon them. They have made themselves a molten calf and bowed low to it and sacrificed to it, saying: 'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!'" The Lord further said to Moses, "I see that this is a stiffnecked people. Now, let Me be, that My anger may blaze forth against them and that I may destroy them, and make of you a great nation." But Moses implored the Lord his God, saying, "Let not Your anger, O Lord, blaze forth against Your people, whom You delivered from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand. Let not the Egyptians say, 'It was with evil intent that He delivered them, only to kill them off in the mountains and annihilate them from the face of the earth.' Turn from Your blazing anger, and renounce the plan to punish Your people. Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, how You swore to them by Your Self and said to them: I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven, and I will give to your offspring this whole land of which I spoke, to possess forever." And the Lord renounced the punishment He had planned to bring upon His people. Thereupon Moses turned and went down from the mountain bearing the two tablets of the Pact, tablets inscribed on both their surfaces: they were inscribed on the one side and on the other. The tablets were God's work, and the writing was God's writing, incised upon the tablets. When Joshua heard the sound of the people in its boisterousness, he said to Moses, "There is a cry of war in the camp." But he answered, "It is not the sound of the tune of triumph, Or the sound of the tune of defeat; It is the sound of song that I hear!" As soon as Moses came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he became enraged; and he hurled the tablets from his hands and shattered them at the foot of the mountain. He took the calf that they had made and burned it; he ground it to powder and strewed it upon the water and so made the Israelites drink it. Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought such great sin upon them?" Aaron said, "Let not my lord be enraged. You know that this people is bent on evil. They said to me, 'Make us a god to lead us; for that man Moses, who brought us from the land of Egypt--we do not know what has happened to him.' So I said to them, 'Whoever has gold, take it off!' They gave it to me and I hurled it into the fire and out came this calf!"

Moses saw that the people were out of control--since Aaron had let them get out of control--so that they were a menace to any who might oppose them. Moses stood up in the gate of the camp and said, "Whoever is for the Lord, come here!" And all the Levites rallied to him. He said to them, "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Each of you put sword on thigh, go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay brother, neighbor, and kin." The Levites did as Moses had bidden; and some three thousand of the people fell that day. And Moses said, "Dedicate yourselves to the Lord this day--for each of you has been against son and brother--that He may bestow a blessing upon you today." The next day Moses said to the people, "You have been guilty of a great sin. Yet I will now go up to the Lord; perhaps I may win forgiveness for your sin." Moses went back to the Lord and said, "Alas, this people is guilty of a great sin in making for themselves a god of gold. Now, if You will forgive their sin [well and good]; but if not, erase me from the record which You have written!" But the Lord said to Moses, "He who has sinned against Me, him only will I erase from My record. Go now, lead the people where I told you. See, My angel shall go before you. But when I make an accounting, I will bring them to account for their sins." Then the Lord sent a plague upon the people, for what they did with the calf that Aaron made.

Then the Lord said to Moses, "Set out from here, you and the people that you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'To your offspring will I give it'--I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites--a land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go in your midst, since you are a stiffnecked people, lest I destroy you on the way." When the people heard this harsh word, they went into mourning, and none put on his finery. The Lord said to Moses, "Say to the Israelite people, 'You are a stiffnecked people. If I were to go in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now, then, leave off your finery, and I will consider what to do to you.'" So the Israelites remained stripped of the finery from Mount Horeb on. Now Moses would take the Tent and pitch it outside the camp, at some distance from the camp. It was called the Tent of Meeting, and whoever sought the Lord would go out to the Tent of Meeting that was outside the camp. Whenever Moses went out to the Tent, all the people would rise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he had entered the Tent. And when Moses entered the Tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the Tent, while He spoke with Moses. When all the people saw the pillar of cloud poised at the entrance of the Tent, all the people would rise and bow low, each at the entrance of his tent. The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one man speaks to another. And he would then return to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua son of Nun, a youth, would not stir out of the Tent. Moses said to the Lord, "See, You say to me, 'Lead this people forward,' but You have not made known to me whom You will send with me. Further, You have said, 'I have singled you out by name, and you have, indeed, gained My favor.' Now, if I have truly gained Your favor, pray let me know Your ways, that I may know You and continue in Your favor. Consider, too, that this nation is Your people." And He said, "I will go in the lead and will lighten your burden." And he said to Him, "Unless You go in the lead, do not make us leave this place. For how shall it be known that Your people have gained Your favor unless You go with us, so that we may be distinguished, Your people and I, from every people on the face of the earth?"

And the Lord said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have asked; for you have truly gained My favor and I have singled you out by name." He said, "Oh, let me behold Your Presence!" And He answered, "I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim before you the name Lord, and the grace that I grant and the compassion that I show. But," He said, "you cannot see My face, for man may not see Me and live." And the Lord said, "See, there is a place near Me. Station yourself on the rock and, as My Presence passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and shield you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will take My hand away and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen." The Lord said to Moses: "Carve two tablets of stone like the first, and I will inscribe upon the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you shattered. Be ready by morning, and in the morning come up to Mount Sinai and present yourself there to Me, on the top of the mountain. No one else shall come up with you, and no one else shall be seen anywhere on the mountain; neither shall the flocks and the herds graze at the foot of this mountain." So Moses carved two tablets of stone, like the first, and early in the morning he went up on Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, taking the two stone tablets with him. The Lord came down in a cloud; He stood with him there, and proclaimed the name Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed: "The Lord! the Lord! a God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in kindness and faithfulness, extending kindness to the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin; yet He does not remit all punishment, but visits the iniquity of parents upon children and children's children, upon the third and fourth generations." Moses hastened to bow low to the ground in homage, and said, "If I have gained Your favor, O Lord, pray, let the Lord go in our midst, even though this is a stiffnecked people. Pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for Your own!"

He said: I hereby make a covenant. Before all your people I will work such wonders as have not been wrought on all the earth or in any nation; and all the people who are with you shall see how awesome are the Lord's deeds which I will perform for you. Mark well what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Beware of making a covenant with the inhabitants of the land against which you are advancing, lest they be a snare in your midst. No, you must tear down their altars, smash their pillars, and cut down their sacred posts; for you must not worship any other god, because the Lord, whose name is Impassioned, is an impassioned God. You must not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for they will lust after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and invite you, and you will eat of their sacrifices. And when you take wives from among their daughters for your sons, their daughters will lust after their gods and will cause your sons to lust after their gods. You shall not make molten gods for yourselves. You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread--eating unleavened bread for seven days, as I have commanded you--at the set time of the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you went forth from Egypt. Every first issue of the womb is Mine, from all your livestock that drop a male as firstling, whether cattle or sheep. But the firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a sheep; if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. And you must redeem every first-born among your sons. None shall appear before Me empty-handed. Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor; you shall cease from labor even at plowing time and harvest time. You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the first fruits of the wheat harvest; and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. I will drive out nations from your path and enlarge your territory; no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times a year. You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with anything leavened; and the sacrifice of the Feast of Passover shall not be left lying until morning. The choice first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. And the Lord said to Moses: Write down these commandments, for in accordance with these commandments I make a covenant with you and with Israel. And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread and drank no water; and he wrote down on the tablets the terms of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. So Moses came down from Mount Sinai. And as Moses came down from the mountain bearing the two tablets of the Pact, Moses was not aware that the skin of his face was radiant, since he had spoken with Him. Aaron and all the Israelites saw that the skin of Moses' face was radiant; and they shrank from coming near him. But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the chieftains in the assembly returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he instructed them concerning all that the Lord had imparted to him on Mount Sinai. And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. Whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would leave the veil off until he came out; and when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, the Israelites would see how radiant the skin of Moses' face was. Moses would then put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with Him.
