Shalom Mishpakha,
The one thing I never anticipated finding in my study of Torah was humility: H6038 – עֲנָוָה – ‛ănâvâh – an-aw-vaw’ – From H6035; condescension, human and subjective (modesty), or divine and objective (clemency): – gentleness, humility, meekness.

I am setting myself up for a big fall if I don’t show you the First and Second Coming of our Messiah in this chapter, which I think I can do but there is even more here as well. When I first started reading this chapter one thing that piqued my curiosity was the phrase בְּהַר סִינַי which is not unusual – bhar Sinai – on Mt. Sinai, which is where they should be for the whole Book of Wayyiqra but, this is the first time it has been reiterated since Chapter 7 verse 38, before Nadab and Abihu’s catastrophe.

This chapter should be named “The consequences of Obedience/Disobedience”. Many times in Scripture we find that we are given a choice, to either obey or rebel. ((Often called the Two Ways in the Didache)) This one chapter lays out the consequences of both in detail. Before getting into a breakdown of the chapter notice two things: first, it does not begin by saying, “And YHVH spoke to Mosheh saying” and the reason for that is that it is a continuation of Chapter 25 and second, it only takes 13 verses to tell how YHVH will bless us if we are obedient. Actually, it only takes 11 but the warning as to the consequences of disobedience begins in verse 14 and verses one and two of 26 are just continuing the thought of 25.
The Parasha begins in verse 3 and is named Behuqqqotai – בְּחֻקֹּתַי – From H2708 – Huqqah – something prescribed, a statute, fixed order. This comes from the root H2710 – huqaq – to engrave, to cut in, to inscribe. In other words He will engrave this upon our stony hearts, to chisel it in.

Once again we find a chapter that has little meaning to the lifestyle of 2020 mankind, or does it really? If we read this Scripture with a cursory understanding of Scripture we could say that this chapter is really a waste of my time. What makes this chapter important to us today?
What is the difference between separating a vow and vowing a vow? Is it important? Deu_13:14 then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. And see if the matter is true and established that this abomination was done in your midst,
Pro_25:2 It is the esteem of Elohim to hide a matter, And the esteem of sovereigns to search out a matter.
Once again, this Scripture is pivotal in deciphering the Book of Daniel. It helps us to understand the B’rit Hadasha better and even brings us into a closer relationship with our Messiah, Yeshua Hamashiach. Wow, I said a lot so it goes without saying I can fall flat on my face. ((With a nose like mine I can do it many times before I have to worry.))
