The Way, the Truth and the Life

1Deut.4:39  Understand this today, and keep it in your heart: YHWH is the only Elohim. There is no other in heaven or on earth.

2Deut.7:9  Know that YHWH your Elohim is faithful. He keeps His covenant and shows steadfast love to those who love Him and keep His commandments—for a thousand generations. But those who hate Him will face the consequences. He does not delay in repaying them. So keep the commandments, statutes, and judgments that I give you today, and live by them. If you listen to them, keep them, and obey them, YHWH your Elohim will keep the covenant and steadfast love He swore to your fathers. 

3Deut.13:4  Follow YHWH your Elohim. Honor Him. Keep His commandments. Listen to His voice. Serve Him. Stay close to Him, and never turn away from Him. 

4Deut.6:13  Live with reverence before YHWH your Elohim (follow Him). Serve Him alone. And if you make an oath, make it in His name.

Mtt.4:10  Then Yeshua said to him, "Go away, Satan! It is written: Worship YHWH your Elohim, and serve Him alone."

Lk.12:5  But I will tell you before whom you should live with a serious awareness of who He is (whom to fear): it is the One who has authority even after death—authority over life and eternity, and the right to decide a person's destiny. Live before Him with a clear awareness of who He is (fear Him). Yes, I tell you, live responsibly before Him.

Mtt.10:28  Do not live in fear of those who can kill the body but cannot touch the soul (do not fear them). Live with a serious awareness of the One who has authority over both soul and body—and who decides their destiny in Gehenna (the place of final judgment).

1Pet.1:17  If you call as Father the One who judges everyone's actions fairly, then live your time here with a clear awareness of who He is (live in reverence before Him). Remember that your life on this earth is only temporary.

Act.2:42  They remained faithful to the apostles' teaching, spent time together, broke bread, and prayed. And everyone was filled with a deep and serious reverence (fear of YHWH—a clear awareness of His presence).

2Cor.5:11  Understanding what it means to live before YHWH with a clear awareness of who He is (knowing this reverence), we do our best to help others understand it too and guide them toward Him.

1Tim.5:20  Those who continue to break YHWH's commandments should be corrected openly, in front of everyone. This is so that the others will understand the seriousness of what is happening (and have a healthy reverence).

Phil.2:12  Continue to live out your salvation seriously and carefully (with fear and trembling), always remembering before whom you stand.

Hebr.10:31  To fall into the hands of the living YHWH Elohim is something to take very seriously (it is a fearful thing to fall into His hands). 

6Ex.23:25  Direct your thoughts, your heart, and your actions toward YHWH your Elohim (serve YHWH your Elohim). Then He will bless your bread and your water—He will give you everything you need. And He will remove sickness from among you. 

Josh.24:15  If you do not want to direct your life toward YHWH and follow His commandments (serve Him), then decide today whom you will serve: the gods your fathers served beyond the River (the Euphrates), or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you now live. But as for me and my household, we will serve YHWH (we will direct our lives, our hearts, and our actions toward the Most High).

7Deut.8:2  Remember the whole journey that YHWH your Elohim led you through the wilderness for forty years. He led you this way to teach you humility and to reveal what was in your heart—whether you would keep His commandments or not. When, in the wilderness where there seemed to be nothing to eat, you thought you would be left without food, He gave you manna (bread from heaven that you had never known or even imagined). In this way He showed you that people do not live by bread alone, but by everything that YHWH provides (His living and active word). 

Mtt.4:4  He answered, "It is written: People do not live by bread alone, but by everything that YHWH provides (His living and active Word)."

1Pet.1:7  Gold is tested by fire, and in the same way your faith is being tested. These trials are meant to prove that your faith, which is far more valuable than gold, is genuine. Then, when Yeshua, the Anointed One, is revealed, it will result in praise, glory, and honor.

Jam.1:2  My brothers, when you go through different kinds of trials, receive them with joy. Understand that the testing of your faith makes you stronger (produces endurance). And let that endurance finish its work, so that you may become mature and whole, with no weak spots (complete, lacking nothing).

8Deut.8:5  Understand and keep this in your heart: YHWH your Elohim is raising you the way a father raises his son (teaching you the way a father teaches his own son).

Prov.3:12  YHWH corrects and guides those He loves (raising them with loving discipline), just as a father does with the son he loves.

Hebr.12:6  YHWH trains those He loves, sometimes with firmness (teaching them, sometimes strictly). And every son whom He accepts, He leads through discipline (allowing pain because of his stubbornness and mistakes, in order to help him grow).

Rev.3:19  Those whom I love, I correct directly and train (I correct and teach them).

9Deut.8:10  When you have eaten and are satisfied, do not forget to thank YHWH your Elohim for the good land He has given you (bless YHWH your Elohim).

1Thess.5:18  In every circumstance, remain thankful, because this is YHWH's desire for you—those who live in union with Yeshua, the Anointed One.

Col.3:17  Whatever you do or say, act the way Yeshua would act (in Yeshua's name—in His likeness). And through Him give thanks to YHWH the Father.

Eph.5:20  Always give thanks for everything to YHWH the Father, acting the way Yeshua would act and relying on His name (doing this in the name of Yeshua, the Anointed One).

1Pet.1:14  As obedient children, do not live like the world around you, letting your desires control you (and do not return to your former desires, if they once had a place in your life). Follow the example of the One who called you and who is holy, and live according to YHWH's word, so that your actions reflect His commandments (be holy). For YHWH's word says, "Be holy, because I am holy" (be set apart, because I am set apart).

Mtt.5:48  Strive to become mature and whole, just as your heavenly Father is (be perfect).

Rev.3:2  Wake up! Strengthen what still remains in you and is barely holding on (what is on the verge of death). For I see that your deeds are far from what they should be before YHWH (I have not found your deeds complete).

2Cor.7:1  Dear friends, since we have these promises—that YHWH will be with us and bless us if we live according to His Word—let us cleanse our lives from everything that corrupts our actions and our thoughts (from every defilement of body and spirit), and learn to live in a way that pleases YHWH, sincerely striving to live according to His Word (perfecting holiness in the fear of YHWH).

Col.3:12  Since you are those whom YHWH has chosen, loves, and has set apart for Himself (His chosen, holy, and beloved people), let this be seen in the way you treat others: show mercy and kindness, be humble, gentle, and patient (clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience).

12Deut.18:13  Live honestly and uprightly before YHWH your Elohim (be blameless).

Lk.1:6  Both of them (Zechariah and Elizabeth) lived honestly and rightly before YHWH (they were righteous before YHWH) and did their best to follow all His commandments (they followed all His commandments and instructions blamelessly).

Lk.2:25  There was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He lived honestly before YHWH and took Him seriously (he was righteous and devout), waiting for YHWH to forgive and restore Israel—those who would turn to Him. And the Holy Spirit was upon him.

Lk.23:50  There was a man named Joseph from the Judean town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council. He was a good and honest man (righteous) who was waiting for YHWH to establish His Kingdom (waiting for the Kingdom of YHWH). He did not support the decision of the Jewish leaders when they decided to put Yeshua to death.

13Ex.19:5  Now, if you carefully listen to Me and live by My covenant, you will become My special people among all the nations (My treasured possession, My own special treasure). For the whole earth belongs to Me. You will be a people who serve Me as a royal priesthood (a kingdom of servants) and a people who live by My commandments (a holy nation). This is what you must say to the people of Israel.

1Pet.2:9  But you are those whom He has chosen and set apart for Himself, a royal priesthood, a people who live by His commandments (a holy nation), people who live with Him in covenant and under His protection (His own possession), so that you may speak about His character and His works (proclaim His excellencies)—the One who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.

14Deut.9:4  When YHWH your Elohim drives these nations out before you, do not say in your heart, "It is because I am righteous (because I live according to His ways) that He has given me this land." No. He is driving them out not because you are better, but because they live in evil—they reject His Word, follow their own ways, and refuse to live by His commandments. You are entering this land not because of your righteousness or because your heart is blameless, but because YHWH is fulfilling the promise He made to your fathers—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Understand this clearly: it is not because of your righteousness that He is giving you this good land. You yourself are inclined to stubbornly go your own way (you are stiff-necked).

Rom.11:6  In the same way, there is also a remnant today—those whom He has preserved by His mercy (by grace). And if it is by mercy, then it is not a reward for human effort. Otherwise, it would no longer be mercy, but something earned. So what does this mean? Israel was seeking righteousness—it wanted to be recognized as righteous before YHWH—but not all attained it. Only those who accepted His Word and remained faithful to His covenant were recognized as righteous before Him. The rest became hardened, stopped listening to Him, and turned away from His Word.

1Cor.10:9  Do not doubt the Anointed One (Yeshua) or make Him "prove" Himself, as some of them did—and they were struck down by snakes. And do not complain in rebellion against YHWH, as they complained and were destroyed by the destroyer. All these things happened to them as a warning and were written down for us—those who are living in the closing period of history (upon whom the ends of the ages have come)—so that we would learn from their mistakes. Therefore, if anyone thinks they are standing firm and that everything is fine with them, let them remain watchful and carefully guard their heart, so that they do not stumble (turn away from His way and lose their faithfulness).

Hebr.3:8  Do not harden your hearts—do not close yourselves off inside or stubbornly resist, as happened during the rebellion in the wilderness, on the day they began to doubt Me and put Me to the test. There your fathers tested Me, questioning whether I could be trusted, even though for forty years they had seen My works. Therefore YHWH said, "These people are always going astray in their hearts and do not understand My ways." So in My righteous anger I swore, "They will never enter My rest" (the life I prepared for them—under My guidance and within My promise).

Mtt.6:31  Therefore, do not worry with distrust, constantly asking, "What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?"

Mtt.4:7  Yeshua said to him, "It is also written: Do not doubt YHWH your Elohim or demand that He prove His faithfulness (do not demand proof from Him)."

17Lev.19:12  Do not swear falsely by My Name, and do not dishonor the Name of YHWH your Elohim by associating it with deceit.

18Ex.22:28  Do not speak about YHWH your Elohim with contempt, and do not speak against the head of your family or your community.

Jud.1:8  In the same way, these people live according to their own fantasies. They corrupt themselves, reject the order established by YHWH, and speak with contempt about those who have been given authority. Even Michael the archangel, when he was disputing with the adversary about the body of Moses, did not presume to pronounce a condemning judgment on his own, but said, "May YHWH Elohim rebuke you."

Rom.2:24  Because of the way you live, the Name of YHWH is dishonored among the nations. You call yourselves His people, yet you live in such a way that His Name becomes an object of mockery.

19Lev.22:32  Do not dishonor* My holy Name, so that I may be recognized as holy among the people of Israel. 

20Deut.10:16  Therefore, remove the stubbornness from your hearts (circumcise the foreskin of your hearts) and stop stubbornly insisting on your own way.

Jer.4:4  Begin living wholeheartedly for YHWH your Elohim, and remove the stubbornness from your hearts (circumcise the foreskin of your hearts).

Ezek.44:6  Say to the stubborn house of Israel, "This is what YHWH Elohim says: Enough of all your detestable practices, house of Israel! You bring foreigners with uncircumcised hearts and uncircumcised flesh into My sanctuary, allowing them to enter and so defiling My temple. You offer Me bread, fat (tallow), and blood, and by all your detestable practices you break My covenant."

Rom.2:28  A true Jew is not simply someone who has the outward mark of circumcision on the body from childhood. A true Jew is one whose heart has been circumcised—someone who has begun to live by YHWH's commandments, removing stubbornness and resistance from the heart. This is the work of the Spirit, not (only) of an outward ceremony, but of inward faithfulness. And the praise of such a person comes not from people, but from YHWH.

Col.2:11 In union with Him, you received a circumcision—not the physical circumcision that a person receives from their parents in childhood, but an inward one. You left behind your former life without His commandments (life according to the flesh) and began a new one. With Him, you buried your old life through immersion in water, and with Him, you also began to live a new life.

Acts 7:51  You are stubborn people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears. You continually resist the Holy Spirit. Just as your fathers did, so do you.

The Book of Jubilees Chapter 15  And YHWH said to Abraham:

"Keep My covenant—you and your descendants after you. Circumcise the foreskin, and it will be the sign of My everlasting ordinance between Me and you and your descendants.

On the eighth day every boy must be circumcised throughout your generations—whether he was born in your household or purchased with silver from foreigners. Everyone from your offspring must be circumcised. The one born in your house and the one purchased with silver must be circumcised. My covenant will remain on your body as an everlasting sign.

If any male is not circumcised on the eighth day, he will be cut off from his people because he has broken My covenant."

And YHWH said to Abraham:

"Your wife Sorah will no longer be called Sorah; Sarah will be her name. I will bless her and give you a son through her. I will bless him, and a nation will come from him, and kings of nations will descend from him."

Abraham fell facedown, rejoiced, and said in his heart:

"Will a son really be born to a man who is a hundred years old? And will Sarah give birth at ninety?"

Then Abraham said to YHWH:

"If only Ishmael might remain under Your protection."

But YHWH said:

"Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac. I will establish My everlasting covenant with him and with his descendants after him. I have heard your request concerning Ishmael. I will bless him and make him numerous. Twelve rulers will come from him, and I will make him into a great nation. But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this same time next year."

After YHWH had finished speaking with him, He departed.

Abraham took Ishmael, everyone born in his household, and everyone purchased with silver—all the males in his household—and circumcised them that very day. On that day Abraham was circumcised, and all the men of his household—those born in the house and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised together with him.

This law is for all generations forever. Circumcision must not be delayed—it must take place on the eighth day after birth. This is an everlasting blessing, established and written on the heavenly tablets.

Anyone who is not circumcised on the eighth day does not belong to the sons of the covenant that YHWH made with Abraham. He does not bear the sign of the covenant and has broken YHWH's covenant.

YHWH set Israel apart to be His people. Over the other nations He appointed spiritual beings—angels and spirits. But over Israel He appointed no angel and no spirit. He Himself is their Ruler. He watches over them and leads them. If they keep His commandments, He will bless them, and they will be His sons, and He will be their Father forever.

But the time will come when the people of Israel will turn away from this ordinance. They will stop circumcising their sons on the eighth day. They will abandon the sign of the covenant and become like the nations around them.

Then the anger of YHWH will be great, because they themselves abandoned His covenant and brought its consequences upon themselves.

Lk.2:21  On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, He was given the name Yeshua, just as the angel had said before He was conceived.

Lk.1:59  On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child. They were about to name him Zechariah, after his father, but his mother said, "No, he is to be called Yohanan (John)."

Phil.3:4  If anyone thinks they can rely on their heritage and religious accomplishments, I have even more reason to do so: circumcised on the eighth day, from the people of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Jew born of Jews; as for religious teaching, a Pharisee.

Jam.1:22  Don't be people who only listen to the Word of YHWH—live by it. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves. Anyone who listens but does not act is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror, sees himself, walks away, and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the one who looks carefully into the perfect Law of YHWH—the Law of freedom—and continues to live by it, not merely listening but acting on it, will be blessed in everything he does.

Mtt.7:24  Everyone who listens to My words and lives by them is like a wise man who built his house on solid rock.

Mtt.23:1  Then Yeshua spoke to the crowd and to His disciples:"The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees have taken the place of Moses. So follow what they read to you from the Law of YHWH. But do not live as they do, because they teach you to live by the commandments of YHWH, yet they do not live by them themselves."

3Deut.6:4  Listen, Israel: YHWH our Elohim—YHWH is one*, whole, and indivisible.

1Tim.2:5  There is one YHWH, and one Mediator between Him and humanity: Yeshua—the Word of YHWH, the Anointed One.  

Mk.12:29  Yeshua answered, "The first and greatest commandment is this: Listen, Israel: YHWH our Elohim—YHWH is one."

Mk.12:32  The teacher of the Law replied, "You are right, Teacher. You have spoken the truth: YHWH our Elohim is one, and there is no other besides Him."

1Jn.5:3  This is what it means to love YHWH: to live by His commandments. His commandments are not a heavy burden but the way to life.  

Jn.14:15  If you love Me, live by My commandments.

Jn.14:21  Whoever accepts My commandments and lives by them is the one who loves Me. And whoever loves Me will be loved by My Father.

Jn.15:10  If you remain faithful to My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I remain faithful to My Father's commandments and remain in His love.

Prov.7:1  My son, hold on to My words, and never let go of My commandments.
Live by My commandments, and you will preserve your life.
Guard My teaching as carefully as you guard your eyesight.
Let them shape your life and be written deep within your heart, your thoughts, and your decisions.

Ps.37:30  The righteous speak wisely, and their words are true. The Law of YHWH lives in their heart, so their steps never stray from the path.

Ps.40:8  I delight in doing Your will, YHWH, because Your commandments live in my heart.

Jer.31:33  This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel—the northern and southern kingdoms—after those days," declares YHWH. "I will write My commandments deep within their hearts, so they will shape their thoughts and their decisions. I will be their Elohim, and they will be My people.  

Jer.32:40  I will make an everlasting covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah—the northern and southern kingdoms. I will never turn away from them but will continue to do them good. I will place within their hearts a deep awareness of who I am, so that they will never turn away from Me or from My commandments.

Ezek.36:27  I will put My Spirit within you and enable you to live by My commandments and remain faithful to My statutes—not out of obligation, but from an inner desire.

2Cor.3:3  You yourselves are a living letter from the Anointed One, written not merely with words, but by the Spirit of the living Elohim—not on stone, but on your hearts.

6Deut.6:7  Talk to your children about His commandments again and again until they become a natural part of their lives. Discuss them at home and on the road, before bedtime and when you get up in the morning—make them part of everyday life. 

Josh.1:8  Let the Book of the Law of YHWH (His Word) become part of your life. Read it and meditate on it day and night, so that you may live by everything written in it. Then your life will be successful, and you will act wisely.

1Tim.4:16  Pay close attention to your life and to the commandments of YHWH (the teaching of the Word of YHWH) that you teach others. Persevere in this. By doing so, you will preserve both your own life and the lives of those who listen to you.

Ps.1:1  Happy is the person who does not live by the advice of those who go against the Law of YHWH, does not walk in the path of breaking His commandments (the path of sin), and does not sit among those who mock the truth. He holds fast to the Law of YHWH and meditates on it day and night.

Ps.119:15  I meditate on Your commandments and keep my eyes on Your ways.

Ps.119:97  Your commandments are what I think about continually.

Ps.119:99  I have more understanding than all my teachers, because I meditate on your instruction.

Ps.119:113  I hate double-minded people, but I love your Torah.

Rom.7:22  Deep inside, I delight in the Law of YHWH—I know that it is right, and I want to live by it.

8Deut.6:9  Let His commandments shape life in your home and beyond—in your family and among the people around you.

Prov.7:2  My son, keep My commandments, and you will preserve your life. Guard My teaching as carefully as you guard your eyesight. Let them guide your actions and be written deep within your thoughts and your decisions.

Prov.30:6  Do not add anything to His words, or He will correct you and expose you as a liar.

Psalm 119:113 I hate empty human ideas, but I love the Law of YHWH—His commandments

Josh.23:6  Be strong and faithful in living by everything written in the Book of the Law of YHWH—His commandments given through Moses. Do not turn away from them, either to the right or to the left.

Mtt.5:17  Do not think that I came to abolish the Law of YHWH or the words of the Prophets. I did not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them—to reveal them as YHWH intended them to be, without distortion or human additions. I tell you this with all seriousness: as long as heaven and earth remain, not even the smallest letter or the tiniest stroke will disappear from the Law until everything has been completely fulfilled—until the day when there is a new heaven and a new earth (until everything comes to pass).

Tit.1:10  This is important: there are many rebellious people—empty talkers and deceivers, especially among the circumcised, followers of Pharisaic teaching, who insist on adding their own traditions to the Law. They must be stopped and not allowed to speak irresponsibly, because they are tearing whole families apart by teaching things they have no right to teach, and they do it for personal gain.

Tit.1:13  Therefore, rebuke them firmly (the rebellious, the empty talkers, and the deceivers—especially those from the circumcised, followers of Pharisaic false teaching), so that they may return to a sound faith. They must stop clinging to Jewish myths (Judaistic teachings) and man-made rules, and stop listening to those who have turned away from the truth.

Ps.19:10  His commandments are worth more than any amount of money—more valuable than everything people consider wealth and strive to obtain. They bring greater joy than the most desirable things in life. Through them, YHWH watches over you. Living by them protects you from unnecessary pain and brings lasting benefit.

1King.10:4  When the Queen of Sheba saw all of Solomon's wisdom—his palace, the abundance at his table, the order of his household, the discipline and coordination of his servants, their fine clothing, the drinks he served, and the offerings he presented in the house of YHWH—she was overwhelmed.

Ps.119:98  Your commandments give me such wisdom that I become wiser than those who oppose me, because I continually live by them. I understand more than my teachers because I keep thinking about Your words. I have become wiser than my elders because I live by Your commandments.

Ps.19:8  The Law of YHWH works perfectly (is perfect)—it restores your strength and strengthens your life.

Prov.6:23  A commandment is a light in the darkness. The Law of YHWH lights the way, and the instruction that corrects you leads to life.

Prov.2:1  My son, if you accept my words and keep my commandments, if you learn to listen carefully and reflect on them, if you seek understanding and pursue it, if you search for wisdom as eagerly as people chase money or valuable treasures, then you will understand what it means to live with a deep awareness of YHWH, and you will truly come to know Elohim.

2Tim.3:15  From childhood you have known the Scriptures*, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in His Word (Yeshua the Anointed One). All Scripture comes from YHWH and is filled with His breath. That is why it is useful: it teaches the truth, shows you where you are wrong, corrects you, and trains you to live a righteous life. Through it, you learn to examine yourself, find the right direction, and live the right way. His Word teaches, rebukes, corrects, and guides, so that the person who belongs to YHWH may become mature, fully prepared for everything that is needed, and ready for every good work—for everything that is truly right before Him.

3Deut.5:1  These are the statutes and laws that I am giving you today. Learn them well and make every effort to live by them.

Matt. 28:19 Therefore, go to all nations and make them My disciples, immersing them into a life under the authority of the Father, into faithfulness to the Son as His Word, and into the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who reminds and leads. Teach them to live according to everything I have commanded you.

Mtt.23:2  Yeshua said, “The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law have taken the place of those who teach the Law of YHWH. So listen to them when they read and explain the Law, but do not live the way they do. They speak about the Law, but they do not live by it themselves.”

Lk.11:28   Yeshua said, “The people who are truly blessed are those who hear the Word of Elohim and live by it.”

1Jn.3:21  Dear friends, if there is no inner conflict between what the Word says and the way we live, we can come to YHWH with confidence. Whatever we ask, we receive from Him because we live by His commandments and do what is right in His sight.

Jam.1:21  What good is it, my brothers, if someone says they believe the Word of YHWH but ignore it in the way they live? Can that kind of faith save them?

Jam.2:14  What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works (commandments)? Can faith save him?

Lk.1:5  In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah from the priestly division of Abijah. His wife Elizabeth was a descendant of Aaron. Both of them were righteous before YHWH and faithfully lived by all the commandments and statutes of YHWH.

5Deut.5:32  I will give you all the commandments, statutes, and laws. Teach them to the people of YHWH, so that they may live by them in the land I am giving them as their inheritance. Be careful to do exactly what YHWH your Elohim has commanded you. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in the path He has set before you. Then you will live, things will go well for you, and you will firmly establish yourselves in what I am giving you—in your future.

Josh.1:7  Be strong and very courageous. Carefully live by the entire Law of YHWH that Moses, My servant, entrusted to you. Do not turn away from it either to the right or to the left, so that you may act wisely wherever you go.

6Lev.18:4  Live by My laws and keep My statutes—live by My Word. This is how you are to live. I am YHWH your Elohim, the One who established this way for you. Hold firmly to My Word: the person who lives by it will truly live.

Gal.3:12  The Law of YHWH is not based on the idea, “Just believe, and it will all be credited to you.” It says something different: live as it teaches. The problem is not the Law itself, but legalism—when a person thinks they can earn acceptance simply by following rules, without trust and faithfulness to YHWH. But the Scriptures say, “Live by My laws... the person who lives by them will truly live.”

Ps.106:32  At the waters of Meribah they began arguing and complaining again, and because of them even Moses lost control. But they did not stop there. They failed to destroy the nations as YHWH had told them. Instead, they mixed with them and began living the same way they did.

1Pet.4:2  So that for the rest of your life in this body, you no longer live according to desires that go against YHWH, but live according to His will—the commandments He has given.

Eph.5:7  Therefore, do not side with those who stubbornly stand against YHWH. You once lived in darkness, but now you are light in YHWH. Live as people of the light. The light produces goodness, integrity, and truth. Keep testing what is truly pleasing to YHWH. Do not take part in the works of darkness, which produce nothing good. Instead, bring them into the light.

Rom.12:2  Do not conform to the way this world lives. Do not accept its standards as the norm. Let your way of thinking be transformed—keep renewing your mind. Then you will begin to understand the will of YHWH: what is truly good, what is pleasing to Him, and what works as He intended—whole and complete.

Mtt.7:13  Do not go where the majority is going. The broad and comfortable way leads to destruction, and many choose it. But the narrow way, not the path most people choose (the masses), leads to life, and only a few choose it.

8Lev.18:30  Hold firmly to My warning. Do not adopt either the way of life or the customs of the nations who lived here before you, so that you do not defile your own life. I am YHWH your Elohim. You live before Me.

Gal.4:9  Now you have come to know Elohim and have begun living with Him in covenant—and He has acknowledged you as His own. So why are you turning back again to those weak and empty spiritual forces (beggarly and worthless elementary things) that stand behind the ways and customs of the nations? Do you really want to become their slaves again? You have started observing special days, months, seasons, and years once more. I am concerned about you. Was all my work among you in vain?

9Lev.18:24  Do not defile yourselves by adopting the way of life, customs, and practices of the nations in this land. That is exactly how they defiled themselves. Because of this, even the land became defiled, and I held it accountable for their guilt, so that the land "vomited out" its inhabitants.

10Lev.18:26  But you must hold firmly to My statutes and laws. Do not adopt any of these ways of life, customs, or practices—whether you are native-born or a foreigner living among you. These are the very things the nations before you practiced, and because of them the land became defiled. If you begin living the same way, you will bring the land to the same point, and it will reject you just as it rejected those who lived there before you.

Rev.22:14  Blessed are those who keep His commandments. They have the right to the tree of life and will enter the holy city—the New Jerusalem.

Mtt.7:21  Not everyone who says to Me, “We belong to You,” calling Me their Lord, will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who does the will of My heavenly Father. On that day many will say, “Didn't we serve You? Didn't we speak in Your name, drive out demons, and perform miracles?” Then I will tell them plainly, “I never acknowledged you as My own. Depart from Me—you practice lawlessness*; you live without the Law of YHWH.”

1Jn.2:3  If you live by His commandments, it shows that you know Him. The one who says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in them.

2Jn.1:9  Anyone who thinks they can add to or change the teaching of the Anointed One has departed from YHWH. But whoever remains in that teaching lives in a living relationship with both the Father and the Son.

Tit.1:16  They claim to know YHWH, but the way they live says otherwise. Their actions prove it: they live wrongly, refuse to obey, and are incapable of doing what is truly good.

Rev.3:15  I know the way you live. You have no real commitment—neither true faithfulness to Me nor an open rejection of Me. You say that you belong to Me, but you do not walk in My ways. You have chosen the comfortable middle ground. I wish you would make up your mind. But if you remain in this condition, I will reject you!

13Deut.9:7  Remember this, and do not ignore how many times you rebelled against YHWH your Elohim in the wilderness. From the day you left Mitsrayim until you arrived here, you continually resisted Him.

1Cor.10:22  Do you really want to challenge YHWH? Do you think you are stronger than He is?

14Deut.18:21  If a prophet speaks in the name of YHWH and what he says does not happen, then it was not from YHWH. He was speaking on his own. Do not let him intimidate you.

1Jn.4:1  Dear friends, do not trust every spiritual teaching. Test whether it truly comes from YHWH, because many false prophets have gone out into the world—people who present their own words as if they were His.

15Deut.18:20  But if a prophet dares to speak in My name something I have not told him to say, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must be sentenced to death and removed from among the people.

Jer.14:15  Therefore, this is what YHWH says about those prophets: they speak in My name even though I never sent them. They keep saying, “There will be no war or famine in this land.” Yet it is by war and famine that they themselves will perish.

2Pet.2:1  Just as there were false prophets among the people, there will also be false teachers among you. They will promote teachings that lead people away from the truth and destroy their faith. While claiming to follow the Anointed One, they deny Him by the way they live—the One who gave His life for them. In the end, they will bring destruction upon themselves.

1Tim.4:1  The Spirit clearly warns that in the last days some will turn away from the faith and follow deceptive influences and false spiritual teachings.

16Deut.18:15  YHWH your Elohim will appoint for you a prophet from among your own people, one of your brothers, like me. Listen to him. This is what you asked of YHWH your Elohim at Mount Horeb (Sinai) on the day of the assembly, when you said, “We can no longer bear to hear this voice or see this great fire. We are afraid we will die.” Then YHWH said to me, “What they have asked is right. I will raise up for them a prophet from among their own people, one like you. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone refuses to listen to My words that he speaks in My name, that person will answer to Me for that disobedience.”

Is.55:4  I appointed Him to represent Me before the nations—to lead them and to teach them.

Is.51:16  I will put My words in your mouth and keep you under My protection, so that through you I may restore all things and say to Zion, “You are My people.”

Mtt.17:1  Six days later, Yeshua took Peter, Jacob, and his brother John with Him and led them up a high mountain, where they were alone. There He was transformed before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became dazzling white, like light. Suddenly, Enoch and Elijah appeared and began talking with Him.

Peter said to Yeshua, “Master, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, let us put up three shelters here: one for You, one for Enoch, and one for Elijah.”

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. I fully approve of Him. Listen to Him.”

Jn.4:19  The woman said, “It seems to me that You are a prophet.”

Jn.5:39  You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life. And you are right—they point to the One who leads you to the Word of YHWH and to a life lived by His commandments. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life *.

Jn.12:48  The one who rejects Me and does not accept My words has already brought judgment upon himself. The Word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. For I do not speak on My own authority. The Father who sent Me has commanded Me what to say. And I know that His commandment is eternal life. That is why I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.

Act.3:22  (Peter's speech) Moses said to our fathers, “YHWH your Elohim will raise up for you a Prophet from among your own people, like me. Listen to Him in everything He tells you.”

Act.7:37  (Stephen's speech) This is the Moses who said to the people of Israel, “YHWH your Elohim will raise up for you a Prophet from among your own people, like me. Listen to Him.”

1Lev.5:17  If a person breaks a commandment of YHWH and does something that must not be done, even if they did not realize it, they are still guilty. They are responsible for what they did.

Rom.2:12  Those who lived without the Law of YHWH and broke it will still be held accountable, even if they did not know the Law. And those who lived under the Law of YHWH and broke it will be held accountable according to it.

Jn.3:18  Whoever accepts His Word (believes in Him) and lives by it is not under condemnation. But whoever rejects His Word is already under condemnation, because they have rejected the name—the character and authority—of the only Son of YHWH.

2Lev.5:15  If a person mistakenly takes or uses something that has been dedicated to YHWH—for example, food, property, or money set apart for His service—they are still responsible. They must make compensation to YHWH in an amount worth at least two shekels of silver (23 g—about 1 ounce). Whatever they used must be restored in full, with an additional 20% added. All of it goes toward the service of YHWH. After that, their debt is settled, and they can continue living honestly before YHWH. 

Ez.18:20 If a person turns away from all their former wrongdoing and begins to live by the statutes of YHWH, doing what is right and just, they will live and will not perish. None of their former violations will be held against them. Because they have begun to do what is right, they will live. Does YHWH really desire the death of a person who lives wrongly? No. YHWH wants that person to change, turn away from their former way of life, and live

3Num.15:22  If the community unknowingly breaks a commandment of YHWH, the people must make the required compensation: one offering as a sign that the people are changing their course and correcting the mistake, and another offering as compensation for their guilt. YHWH accepts this as restoring what was put out of order: the mistake is acknowledged, the responsibility is settled, and the relationship is restored to its proper state. Then the whole community—both those born among Israel and the foreigners living among them—settles its debt and continues to live honestly before YHWH.   

1 Tim. 1:12 I thank Yeshua for the strength He gave me. He saw that I could be faithful and entrusted me with this service, even though I had previously spoken against Him, persecuted His followers, and harmed them. But I was given an opportunity to change because I had acted in ignorance and did not understand that I was rejecting the truth.

Act.3:14  You rejected this holy, righteous one and instead demanded the release of a murderer. You killed the author of life, but YHWH raised him to life. And we are witnesses of this fact! “The name of Yeshua has healed this man – and you know how lame he was before. Faith in Yeshua’ name has caused this healing before your very eyes. And now, brethren, I know that you acted in ignorance (not aware of what you were doing), as did your leaders also.

Act.17:30  It is time to stop living in ignorance. Now YHWH is calling everyone to change the way they think and begin living differently. He has appointed a day when He will judge the world with justice through His Son. And He gave proof of this by raising Him from the dead. 

4Num.15:27  If one person unknowingly breaks a commandment of YHWH, they must make the required compensation for their mistake. This shows that they acknowledge what they did and take responsibility for it. In this way, the wrongdoing is covered: the responsibility is settled, and the person can continue to live honestly before YHWH. The same rule applies to everyone—both those born among Israel and the foreigners living among you. When a mistake is made unknowingly, the process of restoration is the same for everyone.

1Jn.5:16  If you see your brother breaking a commandment out of weakness or ignorance—and it does not lead to death—pray for him, and YHWH will restore him and preserve his life.

Lk.23:34  Yeshua said, “Father, forgive them—they do not understand what they are doing. Their actions come from blindness, not from fully understanding what they are doing.”

Mtt.5:19  Whoever breaks even one of His commandments and teaches others to do the same will be considered least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever strives to live by His commandments and teaches others to do the same will be valued and honored in the Kingdom of Heaven.

5Num.15:30  If a person knows the commandment but chooses to ignore it and keeps going against it because they simply do not care, this is no longer a mistake. It is open rebellion against YHWH, whether that person is native-born or a foreigner. They reject the Word of YHWH and break His commandment. Such a person will be removed from their people, and they remain responsible for what they have done.

Ezekiel 18:24 If a person was living the right way but then turns away from it and begins to live wrongly, doing the same terrible things as someone who rejects YHWH’s Law, will that person live? No. None of the good they did before will count for them. They will be held responsible for their unfaithfulness and for the commandments they are now breaking, and they will perish.

1Jn.5:16  There is a violation that leads to death—when a person knows the commandment and still chooses to go against it because they simply do not care. I am not saying that you should pray about such a case.

Hebr.10:26  If we knowingly continue breaking YHWH’s commandments after we have come to know the truth, there is no longer a sacrifice (compensation) left for what we are doing. All that remains is the fearful expectation of Judgment and the fire that destroys those who knowingly go against YHWH’s commandments (Isaiah 26:11).

Hebr.10:29  Think how much more serious the punishment will be for someone who has received the truth but still chooses to live against the Law of YHWH, and by doing so tramples on the Son. Such a person no longer takes seriously the blood of the Covenant, through which they received forgiveness and were brought back into a right relationship with YHWH. They reject the work of the Spirit, through whom YHWH reminds us of His commandments and shows mercy to those who are willing to change. We know these are the words of YHWH Himself: “Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay,” and again, “YHWH Elohim will judge His people” (Deuteronomy 32:35–36). It is a fearful thing to come under the judgment of the living YHWH!

Mtt.12:31  That is why I tell you: any violation and any insult can be forgiven. But if a person rejects the work of the Spirit—through whom YHWH shows them where they are wrong and gives them the opportunity to change—they close the way to forgiveness for themselves.

Is.56:2  Blessed is the person who does what is right—who lives by the laws of YHWH, keeps Shabbat, and does not dishonor it.

Is.66:22  “Just as the new heavens and the new earth that I will create will remain before Me forever,” says YHWH, “so will your descendants and your name. From one month to the next and from one Shabbat to the next, all people will come to worship before Me,” says YHWH. “They will go out and see the bodies of those who turned away from Me. Their worm will not die, and their fire will not go out. They will be repulsive to all people.”

Ezek.20:10   I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim and led them into the wilderness. I gave them My commandments and made My statutes known to them—the statutes by which a person will live if he follows them. I also gave them My Shabbats to be a sign between Me and them, so they would know that I am YHWH, who sets them apart. But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My commandments and rejected My statutes—the statutes by which a person will live if he follows them—and they treated My Shabbats with great disrespect.

Hebr.4:9  Therefore, keeping Shabbat remains for the people of YHWH.

Mk.2:27  Yeshua said to them, “Shabbat was made for people, not people for Shabbat. Therefore, the Son of Man is the Master of Shabbat.”

2Lev.23:3  Work may be done for six days, but the seventh day is a Shabbat of complete rest and a holy gathering. Do not do any work. It is a Shabbat to YHWH wherever you live.

Act.15:21  For many generations, there have been people in every city who read the words of Moshe, and these words are read in the synagogues every Shabbat.

Act.13:42  As they were leaving the Jewish synagogue, the people from other nations asked them to speak about these things again on the next Shabbat.

Act.13:44  On the next Shabbat, almost the entire city gathered to hear the Word of YHWH.

Act.16:13  On Shabbat, we went outside the city to a place by the river where people usually gathered for prayer. We sat down and spoke with the women who had gathered there.

Act.18:4  Every Shabbat, he spoke in the synagogue and tried to persuade both Jews and people from other nations.

Neh. 13:17 You know that your ancestors also treated Shabbat with disrespect. That is why YHWH brought trouble upon us and this city. And now you are doing it again, bringing even greater anger upon Israel by dishonouring the day of Shabbat and treating it like an ordinary day.

Is.56:4  For this is what YHWH says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Shabbats, choose what pleases Me, and hold firmly to My Covenant, I will give within My house and within My walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will never disappear. “And the foreigners who join themselves to YHWH—to serve Him, to love the name of YHWH, and to be His servants—all who keep Shabbat without dishonouring it and hold firmly to My Covenant, I will bring to My holy mountain and give them joy in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar, for My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” This is what YHWH Elohim, who gathers the scattered people of Israel, says: “I will gather still others to those already gathered.”

4Deut.5:15  Remember that you were a slave in the land of Mitsrayim, and YHWH your Elohim brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why YHWH your Elohim commanded you to keep the day of Shabbat.

2Chron.36:20  Nebuchadnezzar took the survivors to Babylon, where they became slaves to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power. This fulfilled the Word of YHWH spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: the land had to make up for its missed years of rest. Throughout the time it lay desolate, it rested until seventy years were completed—so that the land could receive its Shabbat rest, which the people had failed to observe (Lev. 26:34).

5Lev.23:32  Observe your Shabbat from evening to evening (from sunset to sunset).

Neh. 13:19 When the gates of Jerusalem began to grow dark before Shabbat (as shadows began to fall), I ordered the gates to be closed and commanded that they not be opened until Shabbat was over.

Is.58:13  If you refrain from your own activities on Shabbat, My holy day, and call Shabbat a delight, a holy day of YHWH worthy of honour—if you honour it by setting aside your own activities, making no personal plans, and not discussing your own affairs—then you will find joy in YHWH. I will lift you to the heights of the earth and give you the inheritance of Yaakov your father. YHWH Himself has spoken.

Jer.17:21  This is what YHWH says: Be careful and guard your lives—do not bring destruction on yourselves by doing this: do not carry loads or goods through the gates of Jerusalem on Shabbat. Do not carry loads or goods out of your homes on Shabbat, and do not do any work on that day. Make this day special, as I commanded your ancestors.

Book of Jubilees, ch. 2 Make the law concerning this day known to the people of Israel, so that they keep Shabbat and do not forget it because their hearts lead them astray. They must not do any of their work on this day: they must not prepare food or drink, draw water, or carry any load in or out through their gates—all of this must be prepared beforehand in their homes during the six days. They must not carry anything from one house to another, because this day is holy and blessed. YHWH Elohim blessed this day and set it apart for Israel, so that they would eat, drink, and celebrate Shabbat on earth. This law was given to the people of Israel as an everlasting law for all generations.

Book of Jubilees, ch. 50 I have written down for you the commandment concerning Shabbats and all the regulations related to them: do your work for six days, but the seventh day is a Shabbat to YHWH your Elohim. Do not do any work on this day—neither you, nor your sons, nor your male or female servants, nor your livestock, nor the foreigner who lives among you. Anyone who does any work on this day must die. Anyone who dishonours this day—who has sexual relations with his wife (this refers to the laws of ritual purity following the release of semen—see Lev. 15:16–18), discusses or plans a journey, talks about buying and selling, draws water without having prepared it beforehand on the sixth day, or picks up a load to carry it out of his tent or house—breaks Shabbat. Therefore, on Shabbat, do not do any work that was not prepared beforehand on the sixth day. This day is for eating, drinking, and resting, keeping Shabbat and praising YHWH your Elohim, who gave this day as a celebration. It must be a holy day and a day of the holy kingdom for the people of YHWH throughout all generations. This is a great honour that YHWH has given His people: on this day they can eat, drink, and rejoice in peace, resting from their everyday activities. The only exception is service to YHWH—burning incense and presenting gifts and sacrifices before Him on Shabbat. But anyone who works on Shabbat, sets out on a journey, uses livestock for work, lights a fire for work or cooking, rides an animal, travels by sea on a ship, catches an animal, bird, or fish, fasts, or wages war on Shabbat (see Matt. 24:20)—breaks Shabbat. In this way, the people of YHWH must keep Shabbat according to the commandments concerning the Shabbats of the earth, as recorded on the heavenly tablets, which were given to preserve the laws governing time and the order of its days.

Prov.3:9  Honour YHWH with what you have, and set apart the firstfruits of your labour. Then your storehouses will be full, and your winepresses will overflow with new wine.

Nehem.10:35  We decided to set apart the firstfruits of our land and the first fruit from all our trees every year and bring them to YHWH. We also set apart our firstborn sons and the firstborn of our animals, as required by the Law of YHWH. We set aside a portion of our grain, bread, wine, and oil, and bring the firstfruits of everything YHWH blesses us with.

4Ex. 22:28 Do not delay setting apart your firstfruits and the dedicated portion. Dedicate your firstborn son to Me. Do the same with the firstborn of your cattle and flocks.

5Ex.13:2  Dedicate every firstborn to Me—the first to be born: the firstborn son and the firstborn male among your livestock. Everything that is first belongs to Me, says YHWH. 

6Deut. 14:23 Eat a tenth of your bread, wine, and oil before YHWH. Eat the firstborn of your livestock there as well. Do this before YHWH so that you may live each day with an awareness of His holiness.

7Deut. 15:19 Set apart every firstborn male among your livestock for YHWH. Do not use a firstborn bull for work or shear the firstborn of your flock. Each year, eat it with your family before YHWH and rejoice. But if the animal has a defect—for example, if it is lame or blind—do not dedicate it to YHWH. You may eat such an animal in your own town as ordinary meat, just as you would eat gazelle or deer.

8Deut.15:19 Ex. 13:12 (Ex. 34:19) Set apart for YHWH the firstborn of your livestock—every firstborn male. A firstborn donkey is redeemed with a lamb: its owner gives a lamb to YHWH and may then keep the donkey. If no lamb is given, the donkey is put to death. 

9Ex. 22:29 Let the firstborn stay with its mother for seven days. On the eighth day, dedicate it to YHWH. 

10Lev. 27:26 But you must not dedicate a firstborn animal from your livestock to YHWH as a special gift or to fulfil a promise, because it already belongs to Him from birth.

11Ex.13:2 Dedicate every firstborn to Me—the first to be born among the people of Israel: the firstborn son (and the firstborn of your livestock). Everything that is first belongs to Me, says YHWH.

Lk.2:22  When the days of purification required by the Law of YHWH were over, His parents brought Yeshua to Jerusalem to present Him before YHWH, as written in the Law: “Every firstborn boy must be dedicated to YHWH.”

13Ex. 13:14 When your son later asks you, “What does this mean?” tell him: “With a mighty hand, YHWH brought us out of Mitsrayim, where we were slaves. When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, YHWH struck down all the firstborn in Mitsrayim, both people and animals. That is why I dedicate every firstborn male among my livestock to YHWH and make a redemption payment for my firstborn son.”

Book of Jubilees, ch. 13 Avram’s servant brought YHWH a tithe of the firstfruits from Avram’s household and his descendants. Therefore, YHWH established this as a lasting ordinance for all generations: to give a tithe to the priests who serve in His presence. This ordinance is for all generations: to give YHWH a tenth of the grain, wine, and oil, as well as the cattle and sheep. He gave this tithe to His priests so that they could eat from it with joy and drink before Him. Then the king of Sedom came out to meet Avram, bowed before him, and said, “My master Avram, give me the people you have freed, and keep the plunder for yourself.” But Avram said to him, “I raise my hands to YHWH, the Most High: I will not take anything that belongs to you—not even a thread or a sandal strap—so that you cannot say, ‘I made Avram rich.’ The only exceptions are what the young men have eaten and the share belonging to the men who went with me—Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre. Let them have their share.”

Mal.3:8  Would anyone rob YHWH? Yet you are robbing Me. You ask, “How are we robbing You?” By withholding tithes and offerings. You are under a curse because the whole nation is robbing Me. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this, says YHWH of armies, and see whether I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour out more blessings than you have room for. I will stop the devourer from destroying the produce of your land, and the vines in your fields will not lose their fruit, says YHWH of armies. Then all nations will call you blessed, because your land will become a land of blessing, says YHWH of armies.

2Lev.27:31  If someone wants to keep the tithe of their harvest and give money instead, they must add one-fifth (20%) to its value.

3Lev.27:32  A tenth of your herds and flocks must be dedicated to YHWH. When the animals are let out of the pen and counted one by one, every tenth animal belongs to YHWH. The owner must not choose based on the animal’s quality or replace it with another. If the owner does replace it, both animals will belong to YHWH. Such an animal cannot be redeemed.

The Book of Jubilees Chapter 13  His servant brought YHWH a tithe of the firstfruits to make atonement for Avram and his descendants. YHWH then established a lasting ordinance that it (the tithe) should be given to the priests who serve in His presence, so that they could continue to benefit from it forever. This was not a rule for a single day; He established it for all generations: to give YHWH a tenth of the grain, wine, oil, cattle, and sheep. He gave it to His priests so that they could eat from it with joy and drink before Him. Then the king of Sedom came out to meet Avram, fell facedown before him, and said, “My master Avram, give me the people you have freed, and keep the plunder for yourself!” Avram said to him, “I raise my hands to YHWH, the Most High: I will not take anything that belongs to you—not even a thread or a sandal strap—so that you cannot say, ‘I made Avram rich.’ The only exception is what the young men have eaten. And the men who went with me—Aunan, Eshkol, and Mamre—must receive their share.”

5Deut.12:19  Be careful not to leave the Levite without support for as long as you live in your land.

6Deut. 14:22 Set apart a tenth of your field’s entire harvest—everything it produces each year. Eat the tithe of your grain, wine, and olive oil, along with the firstborn of your herds and flocks, before YHWH your Elohim, at the place He chooses for His name to dwell. In this way, you will learn to live each day with an awareness of the holiness of YHWH your Elohim.

7Deut. 12:17 Do not eat the tithe of your bread, wine, and oil, the firstborn of your herds and flocks, anything you have promised in a vow, or your voluntary offerings as ordinary food. Eat these before YHWH your Elohim at the place YHWH your Elohim chooses—you, your son and daughter, your male and female servants, and the Levite who lives among you. And rejoice before YHWH your Elohim in everything your hands have accomplished.

8Deut. 12:5 (Deut. 12:11) Go to the place YHWH your Elohim chooses from among all your tribes for His name to dwell. Bring there your burnt offerings, sacrifices, tithes, offerings, gifts promised in vows, voluntary gifts, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks. There, eat before YHWH your Elohim and rejoice—you and your families—in everything YHWH your Elohim has blessed you with, in everything your hands have accomplished.

Book of Jubilees, ch. 32 Yaakov set apart a tenth of everything and celebrated before YHWH with his sons. In this way, he gave the second tithe to YHWH. It was established as a law that the second tithe should be given and eaten before YHWH at the place He chooses.

9Deut. 14:24 If the journey to the place YHWH your Elohim chooses for His name to dwell is too long, and you cannot carry there everything YHWH your Elohim has blessed you with, exchange it for silver and take the silver with you to the place YHWH your Elohim chooses. There, use it to buy whatever you wish: cattle, sheep or goats, wine or other strong drink—whatever your heart desires. Eat there before YHWH your Elohim and rejoice with your family. And do not forget the Levite who lives among you, because he has no share in the land as you do.

10Deut. 14:28 At the end of every third year, bring out the full tithe of that year’s harvest and store it in your towns (within your gates). Then the Levite—who has no share in the land among you—may come, along with the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow who live in your town. Let them eat until they are satisfied. Then YHWH your Elohim will bless you in all your work.

Matt. 23:23 Be warned, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You carefully set aside a tenth even of your mint, anise, and caraway, yet you have neglected what matters most in the Law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practised these things without neglecting tithing.

11Deut. 26:12 When you have set aside all the tithes from your land’s harvest in the third year—the year of tithing—and given them to the Levite, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow so that they can eat in your town (within your gates) and be satisfied, then declare before YHWH your Elohim: “I have set aside from my household the portion dedicated to You and given it to the Levite, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow, according to all the instructions You gave me. I have not broken Your commandments or forgotten them. I have not eaten any of it while mourning, set it aside while ritually unclean, or given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed YHWH my Elohim and done everything You commanded me. Look down from Your holy dwelling—from heaven—and bless Your people, Israel, and the land You have given us, as You swore to our fathers: a place of abundance and stability, where we can grow, build a home, and live in peace without fearing what tomorrow may bring.”

Tobit 1:6 I often travelled alone to Jerusalem for the festivals, as required of all Israel. I brought the firstfruits of the harvest, tithes of the land’s produce, and the first wool shorn from the sheep, and gave them to the priests, the descendants of Aaron, for the altar. I gave a tenth of all my produce to the Levites serving in Jerusalem. I sold another portion of this tithe and brought the money to Jerusalem each year to spend it there. The third portion I gave to those it was intended for, as Devorah, my father’s mother, had taught me, because I had been left an orphan after my father’s death.

1Ex.20:3  You must have no other gods before Me. 

2Ex. 34:14 Do not worship any other god, because YHWH’s name is Jealous. He is the Most High who demands faithfulness.

Matt.4:10 Then Yeshua said to him, “Go away, Satan. Scripture says: Worship YHWH your Elohim and serve Him alone.”

3Lev. 19:4 Do not turn to other gods or make cast images of gods for yourselves. I am YHWH your Elohim.

4Deut. 27:15 Cursed is anyone who makes a carved image or a cast statue for worship—something detestable to YHWH, made by human hands—and sets it up in secret.

6Deut. 4:23 Be careful not to forget the Covenant of YHWH your Elohim, which He made with you. Do not make for yourselves a statue or an image of anything in the created world, because YHWH your Elohim commanded you not to do this. For YHWH your Elohim is a fire that destroys everything unclean. He requires complete faithfulness

7Ex. 20:23 Do not make gods of silver or gods of gold before Me—do not make such gods for yourselves.

8Deut. 7:26 Do not bring anything connected with idols into your home, or you may come under the same destruction. Completely reject and detest such things, because they are marked for destruction.

Ps. 100:3 I will not put anything wicked before my eyes. I hate lawless ways—they will have no place in my life.

9Deut. 13:17 Do not keep for yourself anything connected with idolatry.

10Deut. 4:15–18 So be very careful, because you saw no form on the day YHWH spoke to you at Horeb from the fire (the people heard His voice, but they saw no form). Do not corrupt yourselves by making a carved image in any form: a man or a woman, any animal on the earth, any bird that flies in the sky, any creature that crawls on the ground, or any fish in the waters below the earth

11Deut. 6:14 Do not follow other gods—the gods of the nations around you

Jer. 7:18 The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the goddess (the queen) of heaven and pour out drink offerings to other gods, provoking Me.

Jer. 44:15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, all the women who were standing there in a large crowd, and all the people living in the land of Mitsrayim, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah:

“We will not listen to the words you have spoken to us in the name of YHWH. We will do whatever we have decided for ourselves. We will burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, just as we, our fathers, our kings, and our leaders did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. Back then we had plenty of food, life was good, and we saw no trouble. But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and are dying by the sword and famine.”

Jubilees, Ch. 12 Abram said to his father Terah, “My father, what help or benefit is there in all these idols you worship? There is no spirit or life in them. They are made by human hands, and you yourselves carry them on your shoulders. They cannot help you at all. They only deceive the hearts of those who make them and honor them.

Honor the Elohim of heaven, who sends rain and dew upon the earth, who does everything on the earth and created everything by His word. All life is before Him.”

His father said to him, “I know this, my son. But what can I do about my relatives? If I tell them the truth, they will kill me, because their hearts have become attached to these idols. Be quiet, my son, so they do not kill you.”

12Deut. 12:5 Go to the place YHWH your Elohim will choose from among all your tribes for His name to dwell there, and come to that place.

13Deut. 12:13 Be careful not to offer your burnt offerings in just any place you choose, but only in the place YHWH chooses among one of your tribes. Offer your burnt offerings there, and there do everything I command you.

John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people should worship is in Jerusalem. Yeshua said to her, “Believe Me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.”

John 4:23 But the time is coming—and is already here—when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, because these are the kind of worshippers the Father is looking for.

14Deut. 11:16 Be careful that your hearts are not deceived, causing you to turn away, serve other gods, and worship them.

Matt. 6:24 No one can serve two masters. You will either love one and reject the other, or be devoted to one and disregard the other. You cannot serve both YHWH and mammon (wealth, money).

1 Tim. 6:10 Love of money is the root of many troubles. Because of it, some have turned away from the faith and brought a great deal of suffering on themselves.

15Ex. 23:13 Do not mention the names of other gods; do not let their names be heard from your lips (do not allow their names to be spoken among you).

Isa. 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who consider darkness light and light darkness; who call bitter sweet and sweet bitter!

1 Cor. 10:21 You cannot drink from the cup of YHWH and the cup of demons. You cannot take part in the table of YHWH and the table of demons.

16Deut. 4:19 Be careful when you look up at the sky and see the sun, the moon, the stars, and all the heavenly bodies, that you are not drawn to them, worship them, or begin to serve them—things that YHWH your Elohim has left for all the nations under heaven.

17Deut. 29:18 Make sure there is no man or woman, family or tribe among you whose heart turns away from YHWH our Elohim to serve the gods of those nations. Let there be no root among you from which evil and destruction grow and spread to others.

Heb. 12:15 Watch carefully so that no one misses the grace of YHWH, and so that no bitter root grows up, harms others, and causes many people to suffer.

Matt. 10:37 Anyone who loves their father or mother more than Me cannot be My disciple. And anyone who loves their son or daughter more than Me cannot be My disciple.

1 Cor. 15:33 Do not be deceived: bad company ruins good habits.

1 Cor. 5:9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. But I did not mean the people of this world who live in sexual immorality, greed, fraud, or idolatry—otherwise, you would have to leave this world altogether.

What I meant was this: if someone calls himself a brother but continues to live in sexual immorality, greed, idolatry, slander, drunkenness, or fraud, do not even sit at the same table with such a person.

Is it my responsibility to judge those outside? YHWH Elohim will judge them. But you must judge those inside. As Scripture says: “Remove the evil person from among you.”

21Deut. 13:1 If a prophet appears among you, or someone who says they received a revelation in a dream, and gives you a sign or miracle, and that sign or miracle actually happens, but then says, “Let us go and serve other gods you have not known,” do not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. Through this, it becomes clear whether you truly love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul.

22Ex. 23:19 (Ex. 34:26 / Deut. 14:21) Do not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

23Deut. 16:21 Do not plant beside the altar of YHWH your Elohim any tree associated with pagan worship.

Jer. 10:3 The customs of the nations are worthless. A tree is cut down from the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with an axe, decorates it with silver and gold, and secures it with nails and hammers so that it will not fall over. They are like scarecrows in a field: they cannot speak or walk. They have to be carried because they cannot move on their own. Do not be afraid of them, because they can do neither harm nor good.

Isa. 14:5 YHWH has broken the staff of the wicked and the rod of rulers, which struck the nations relentlessly in rage and oppressed them in anger without end. Now the whole earth is calm and at peace; it rejoices and celebrates. Even the cypress trees rejoice over your fall, and the cedars of Lebanon say, “Since you have fallen, no woodcutter has come to raise an axe against us.”

24Deut. 16:22 Do not set up for yourself a sacred pillar (obelisk), which YHWH your Elohim hates.

25Lev. 26:1 Do not make statues or images for yourselves. Do not set up sacred stone pillars or carved stones to worship them. I am YHWH your Elohim.

26Lev. 19:27 Do not follow pagan haircut practices: do not shave the hair around the sides of your head or disfigure the edges of your beard.

27Lev. 19:28 Do not make cuts on your body for the dead, and do not put tattooed markings on yourselves. I am YHWH.

1 Thess. 4:13 Brothers, I want you to understand what happens to those who have died, so that you do not grieve like other people who have no hope.

28Lev. 18:3 Do not live as the people do in the land of Mitsrayim, where you lived, and do not live as the people do in the land of Canaan, where I am taking you. Do not follow their customs. Follow My laws and keep My statutes, living by them. I am YHWH your Elohim.

1 Pet. 2:11 Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and strangers in this world, to stay away from fleshly desires that fight against your soul. Live honorably among the nations, so that even those who speak against you will see your good actions and glorify YHWH on the day He visits His people.

29Lev. 20:23 Do not follow the customs of the nation I am driving out before you. They did all these things, and because of this I rejected their ways.

30Deut. 18:9 When you enter the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you, do not learn to live as these nations do.

31Deut. 12:29 When YHWH your Elohim destroys the nations whose land you are entering to take possession of, and you settle there, be careful not to fall into a trap by following their ways. Do not ask about their gods, saying, “How did these nations serve their gods? I will do the same.” Do not worship YHWH your Elohim in this way, because they do for their gods everything YHWH hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire for their gods.

32Num. 33:55 But if you do not drive out the people living in the land, those who remain will become like thorns in your eyes and needles in your sides. They will make life difficult for you and cause you constant trouble in the land where you live. And in the end, I will do to you what I intended to do to them.

Isa. 52:11 Leave, leave, get out of there. Do not touch anything unclean. Come out from among them and cleanse yourselves, you who carry the vessels of YHWH.

Jubilees, Ch. 12 In the sixtieth year of his life, Abram got up during the night and burned down the temple of idols, together with all the idols inside it, without the people knowing what he had done. When the people of the city tried to save their idols from the fire, the flames overtook Haran, and he died in the fire in Ur of the Chaldeans.

2 Cor. 6:17 Therefore, come out from among them and separate yourselves, says YHWH. Do not touch anything unclean, and I will receive you.

2 Thess. 3:6 We command you, brothers, in the name of our Yeshua the Anointed One: keep away from any brother who lives in a disorderly way and does not follow the teaching you received from us.

34Deut. 7:25 Burn the images of their gods with fire. Do not desire the silver or gold on them or take it for yourself, so that it does not become a trap for you and draw you into idolatry. It is detestable to YHWH your Elohim.

Ps. 106:34 They did not destroy the nations as YHWH had commanded them. Instead, they mixed with them and learned their ways. They began serving their idols, and this became a trap for them. They even sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.

35Deut. 20:16 But in the cities of these nations that YHWH your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave anyone alive. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as YHWH your Elohim commanded you, so that they do not teach you to follow the detestable practices they perform for their gods and cause you to break the commandments of YHWH your Elohim.

36Deut. 7:1 When YHWH your Elohim brings you into the land you are entering to take possession of, and drives out many nations before you—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—and when YHWH your Elohim gives them over to you and you defeat them, completely destroy them. Do not make a covenant with them or spare them. Do not form family ties with them. Do not give your daughter to their son or take their daughter for your son, because they will turn your children away from Me and lead them to serve other gods.

37Deut. 20:13 When YHWH your Elohim gives into your hands a city that is far from you, strike down all its men with the edge of the sword. You may take the women, children, livestock, and everything else in the city as plunder and use what YHWH your Elohim gives you from your enemies. This is how you are to deal with all the cities that are far from you and do not belong to the nations of this land.

38Ex. 34:15 Do not make a covenant with the people of that land, so that when they serve their gods and offer sacrifices to them, they do not invite you to join them and you end up eating from their sacrifices.

1 Cor. 10:28 But if someone tells you, “This meat was offered as a sacrifice,” do not eat it—for the sake of the person who told you and for the sake of their conscience, so that their conscience does not justify taking part in an idolatrous sacrifice.

39Ex. 23:32 (Ex. 34:12) Do not make a covenant with the people of this land (the Canaanite nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites; see Deut. 7:1) or with their gods. Do not let them remain in your land, so that they do not lead you into breaking My commandments. If you serve their gods, it will become a trap for you.

2 Cor. 6:15 What agreement can there be between Yeshua the Anointed One and evil? What can a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

40Deut. 23:6 Do not seek their peace or prosperity as long as you live (speaking about the nations of Ammon and Moab—see Deut. 23:3–4).

2 John 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching (obedience to YHWH’s commandments), do not welcome that person into your home or greet them. Anyone who welcomes such a person becomes a participant in their evil actions.

1 Cor. 5:11 But I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but lives in sexual immorality, greed, idolatry, slander, drunkenness, or fraud. Do not even eat with such a person.

Gal. 1:9 As we said before, I say again now: if anyone preaches to you a teaching contrary to the teaching you received (about Yeshua the Anointed One and YHWH’s commandments), that person should be rejected.

1 Cor. 5:4 When you gather together in the name of our Yeshua, and I am with you in spirit, remove this person from your community so that, once outside your community, he may realize the seriousness of breaking YHWH’s commandments and his spirit may be saved on the Day of YHWH Elohim.

41Deut. 18:10 There must be no one among you who burns a son or daughter as a sacrifice, or tries to learn the future through divination, magic, spells, spirits, or the dead. All these practices are detestable to YHWH. Because of such practices, YHWH your Elohim is driving these nations out before you. Remain faithful to YHWH your Elohim.

42Lev. 19:31 Do not seek advice from sorcerers or from those who try to call up the spirits of the dead. Do not seek answers from them, because doing so makes a person unclean. I am YHWH your Elohim.

Gal. 5:20 Idolatry, sorcery, hostility, arguments, jealousy, outbursts of anger, conflicts, divisions, false teachings, hatred, murder, drunkenness, disorderly behavior, and things like these. I warned you before, and I say it again: those who knowingly continue to live this way and refuse to change their lives will not be part of the Kingdom of YHWH.

44Lev. 18:21 Do not give your children as a sacrifice to Molech—do not burn your son or daughter in the fire. Do not dishonor the name of YHWH your Elohim.

45Lev. 20:2 Tell the children of Israel: anyone from the people of Israel or from the foreigners living among you who gives a child to Molech must be sentenced to death. The people must stone that person. I Myself will turn against that person and remove him from among the people because he gave his child to Molech, defiling My sanctuary and dishonoring My name. If the people close their eyes to what that person has done and do not carry out the sentence, then I Myself will turn against him and his family and remove them from among the people—him and everyone who follows him in serving Molech.

Ps. 106:38 They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. In this way, the land was defiled with blood.

Jer. 7:31 They built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of the Sons of Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I never commanded and that never even entered My heart.

1Lev. 23:2 These are YHWH’s appointed days. Announce them as days of sacred assembly—a time when the people gather before YHWH. These are the days YHWH Himself appointed for His people.

2Deut. 16:16 Three times a year, every man must come before YHWH your Elohim at the place He chooses for His name to dwell (the place where the people worship): at the Appointed Day of Unleavened Bread, the Appointed Day of Weeks, and the Appointed Day of Tabernacles. No one should come before YHWH empty-handed. Each person should bring a gift according to the blessing YHWH your Elohim has given him.

3Deut. 16:11 Rejoice before YHWH your Elohim—you, your son and daughter, your male and female debt servants, the Levite living among you, and the foreigner, orphan, and widow among you—at the place YHWH your Elohim chooses for His name to dwell.

1 Cor. 5:7 Our Passover lamb—the Anointed One—was sacrificed.

1 Pet. 1:19 You know that you were bought back from the empty way of life you inherited from your fathers, not with things that perish, such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of the Anointed One—like a pure and spotless lamb.

Rom. 3:23 Everyone broke YHWH’s commandments, turned away from them, strayed from His path, and fell short of His glory. But by His mercy, He freely restores them to a right relationship with Him through the redemption in Yeshua the Anointed One. YHWH presented Him as an atoning sacrifice (a sacrifice through which YHWH gives a person forgiveness and a chance to begin correcting their life) through His blood—for those who believe.

Heb. 2:17 Therefore, He had to become like His brothers in every way, so that He could be a merciful and faithful high priest before YHWH and make atonement (a sacrifice through which YHWH gives a person a chance to correct their life) for the people’s breaking of YHWH’s commandments.

7Deut. 16:1 Watch for the first month—the time of spring and the ripening of the barley—and observe Passover to YHWH your Elohim, because in this month YHWH your Elohim brought you out of Mitsrayim at night*.

8Deut. 16:2 Celebrate Passover to YHWH your Elohim—from the flocks and herds—at the place YHWH chooses for His name to dwell (the place where the people gather before Him). For seven days, do not eat leavened bread with it. Eat only unleavened bread, the bread of suffering, so that you will remember how you lived in Mitsrayim and how you had to leave there in haste.

9Deut. 16:5 Do not celebrate Passover in just any place where you live. Celebrate it only at the place YHWH your Elohim chooses for His name to dwell (the place where the people gather before Him). Celebrate Passover in the evening, at sunset—the time when you came out of Mitsrayim. Prepare it and eat it there, and the next day you may return home.

10Ex. 12:43 This is the rule for Passover: no one from the foreign nations may eat it. If you have a debt servant who was bought with silver and he is circumcised, then he may eat it. A temporary resident or hired worker may not eat it. It must be eaten in one house: do not take any of the meat outside, and do not break any of its bones. The whole community of Israel must celebrate Passover. If a foreigner lives among you and wants to celebrate Passover to YHWH, all the males in his household must be circumcised. Then he may take part and will be treated like someone born in the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it.

2 Chron. 35:13 They prepared the Passover lamb over the fire, as established. The other dedicated offerings were boiled in pots, kettles, and pans and immediately distributed to all the people.

12Num. 9:14 If a foreigner lives among you, that person may also celebrate YHWH’s Passover according to the same rules. There must be one standard for everyone—the same for the foreigner and for someone born in the land.

13Num. 9:10 If any of you or your descendants becomes unclean or is away on a distant journey, that person can still celebrate YHWH’s Passover. Celebrate it in the second month, on the fourteenth day, in the evening.

2 Chron. 30:2 The king, his leaders, and the whole assembly in Jerusalem decided to celebrate Passover in the second month because they had not been able to do it at the appointed time. There were not yet enough priests to prepare everything, and the people had not gathered in Jerusalem.

2 Chron. 30:13 In the second month, a large number of people gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate Unleavened Bread. It was a very large assembly.

16Lev. 23:7 On the first day, hold a sacred assembly (a special Shabbat—a day of rest). Do not do any regular work. For seven days, bring offerings to YHWH.

1 Cor. 5:7 Remove the old leaven (chametz) so that you may become a new, clean batch of dough—one with no leaven in it.

19Lev. 23:10 When you enter the land I am giving you and begin gathering the harvest, bring the first part of your harvest to the priest. He will lift it up before YHWH so that it may be accepted on your behalf. On the day after the first Shabbat (the first weekly Shabbat), he will lift this sheaf before YHWH.

Jubilees, Chs. 17–18 *In the first month, on the twelfth day, it was said in heaven concerning Abraham that he was faithful to YHWH, loved Him, and remained faithful through his trials. Then Mastema said before YHWH: “Abraham loves his son Isaac very much. Tell him to offer his son as an offering, and it will become clear whether he will remain faithful in everything.”

Then YHWH spoke to Abraham, and he answered, “I am listening.” And He said, “Take your son Isaac—the one you love—and go to the mountain I will show you, and offer him there as an offering.”

Abraham got up early in the morning, prepared everything he needed, and set out. He traveled for three days and saw the place from a distance. When he was ready to carry out the command, YHWH stopped him: “Do not raise your hand against the young man or do anything to him. Now I know that you are faithful to Me—you did not hold back even your son for My sake.”

And Mastema was put to shame. Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in the bushes, and he offered it instead of his son. Abraham called that place, “YHWH Will Provide” (...)*

Ps. 89:27 I will make him My firstborn—the highest among the kings of the earth. I will preserve My mercy toward him forever, and My Covenant with him will remain firm. I will continue his descendants for all time, and his throne will remain as long as the heavens.

1 Cor. 15:20 Yeshua rose from the dead—the Firstborn (the first fruit) from among the dead. Death came through a man, and through a man also came the resurrection of the dead. Just as through Adam all die, so through Yeshua the Anointed One (the Word of YHWH) all will be made alive. But each in his own order: the first fruit (the Firstborn)—the Anointed One; then those who belong to him, at the time of his coming.

Col. 1:18 He is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead, so that he may have first place in everything.

James 1:18 By His own will, He gave us new life through the Word of truth, so that we would become the first fruits of everything He created.

20Lev. 23:14 Do not eat any new bread, grain roasted over the fire, or fresh raw grain until the day you bring the offering to YHWH. This is a permanent command for you wherever you live.

24Deut. 16:9 Count* seven weeks for yourself from the day the grain first begins to be cut—from the first fruits of the harvest (barley). Then observe Weeks for YHWH your Elohim, bringing a voluntary gift according to how YHWH your Elohim has blessed you.

25Lev. 23:24 (Num. 29:1) In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, observe a day of rest—a sacred assembly (a time when the people gather before YHWH), a special Shabbat (a day of rest), the Appointed Day of Trumpets. Do not do any regular work, and bring offerings to YHWH.

Zech. 14:6 On that day there will be no ordinary light—the heavenly lights will grow dim. It will be a unique day, known only to YHWH. It will be neither day nor night, but toward evening there will be light. On that day, living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half toward the eastern sea and half toward the western sea, in summer as well as in winter. And YHWH will become King over all the earth. On that day YHWH will be One, and His name One.

Isa. 27:12 On that day YHWH will gather everything from the great river to the stream of Mitsrayim, and you, children of Israel, will be gathered one by one. On that day a great trumpet will sound, and those lost in the land of Assyria and those driven into the land of Mitsrayim will come and worship YHWH on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

Matt. 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven. All the nations of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds with great power and glory. He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His chosen ones from every direction—from one end of heaven to the other.

26Lev. 23:27 (Num. 29:7) On the ninth day (beginning on the evening of the ninth) of the seventh month begins the Day of Cleansing. Hold a sacred assembly. Humble* yourselves—restrain yourselves and set aside your own desires before YHWH—and bring offerings to YHWH.

28Lev. 16:29 This is a permanent command for you: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, humble yourselves and do not do any regular work—whether you are born in the land or are a foreigner living among the people. On this day, cleansing is made for you—to cleanse you from all your mistakes and wrong actions done through lack of knowledge or weakness, so that you may be clean before YHWH. It is a Shabbat of rest for you. Humble yourselves—this is a permanent command.

Heb. 9:11 But Yeshua (the Anointed One) came as High Priest of the good things to come. He entered a greater and more perfect sanctuary—not made by human hands and not belonging to this world. He entered not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood—once—and by this obtained eternal redemption. If the blood of goats and calves and the ashes of a heifer (the red heifer), sprinkled on those who are unclean, make them clean in their bodies, how much more will the blood of the Anointed One—who through the Holy Spirit offered Himself to YHWH pure and without fault—cleanse our conscience from dead works, so that we may serve YHWH, the living and true One.

Zech. 14:16 Everyone who remains from the nations that came against Jerusalem will come year after year to worship the King, YHWH of Hosts, and to celebrate Tabernacles.

32Deut. 16:16 Three times a year, all the men must come before YHWH your Elohim at the place He chooses: at Unleavened Bread, Weeks, and Tabernacles. No one should come before YHWH empty-handed. Each person should bring a gift according to how YHWH your Elohim has blessed him.

John 7:2 Tabernacles was approaching. Yeshua’s brothers said to Him, “Leave this place and go to Judea so that Your disciples there can also see the things You are doing.”

33Lev. 23:40 On the first day, take branches from beautiful trees, palm branches, branches from broad-leaved trees, and willows from the river, and rejoice before YHWH your Elohim for seven days.

Jubilees, Ch. 16 Abraham built an altar to YHWH, who had delivered him, and rejoiced in the land where he was living as a stranger. During this month, he celebrated for seven days at the altar and made shelters for himself and his people. This was the first time this appointed time was celebrated on the earth.

For seven days, he brought offerings to YHWH and rejoiced with all his heart—he and everyone who was with him. He thanked YHWH, who had created him, and understood that righteous descendants would come from him. He called this YHWH’s appointed time and rejoiced in a way that pleased YHWH.

It was established that Israel should observe this appointed time for seven days in the seventh month—with joy, as a permanent command. Abraham took branches and fruit and walked around the altar each day, rejoicing and thanking YHWH for everything.

34Lev. 23:41 Celebrate this appointed time of YHWH for seven days each year. This is a permanent command for all your generations. Celebrate it in the seventh month. Live in shelters* for seven days. Everyone who belongs to the people of Israel must live in shelters so that your generations will know that I had the children of Israel live in shelters when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am YHWH your Elohim.

35Ex. 12:2 This month will be the beginning of the months for you. It will be the first month of the year.

36Lev. 25:8 Count seven Shabbat years for yourself—seven times seven years, for a total of forty-nine years.

38Lev. 25:13 In the Year of Jubilee, everyone must return to their own property. The land returns to those to whom it was originally given, so that no one permanently loses their place and their portion in the land.

Luke 4:18 (Isa. 61:1) The Spirit of YHWH is upon Me. He appointed Me to bring good news to those in need, sent Me to heal those whose hearts are broken, to proclaim freedom to the captives, sight to the blind, to set the oppressed free, and to proclaim the Year of YHWH*—a time of freedom and restoration.

Ezek. 46:3 The people of the land will come and worship before YHWH at the entrance of the gate on Shabbats and new moons.

Ps. 81:3 Sound the trumpet at the new moon, at the appointed time, on the day of celebration.

Jubilees, Ch. 6 The new moons of the first, fourth, seventh, and tenth months are days of remembrance and celebration at the four seasons of the year. They were established as an annual reminder. Noah set them apart for himself as days of celebration for future generations so that the memory of these events would be preserved.

On the new moon of the first month, he was told to make the ark. On this day, the land became dry, and he opened the ark and saw the land. On the new moon of the fourth month, the fountains of the deep were closed. On the new moon of the seventh month, all the fountains of the deep opened, and the waters began to flow down into them. On the new moon of the tenth month, the tops of the mountains appeared, and Noah rejoiced. For this reason, he established these days as appointed times of remembrance—and they were established forever.

Col. 2:16 Do not let anyone judge you because of food or drink, or because of an appointed day, a new moon, or Shabbat (because you observe these appointed times). These are a shadow of what is still to come, and the reality is in Yeshua the Anointed One.

2Deut. 14:3 Do not eat anything that was not intended for food.

Isa. 66:15 YHWH is coming to judge and punish people with fire and the sword. Those who try to “purify” themselves for their rituals in the gardens and follow foreign customs, while eating pork, rats, and other things not intended for food—all of them will be destroyed, says YHWH.

Isa. 65:2 YHWH says that He continually reached out to a rebellious people who follow their own way and live according to their own desires. They offend Him: they offer sacrifices in groves, burn incense wherever they choose, take part in strange rituals, and eat pork and other things not intended for food (detestable food in their vessels).

3Deut. 12:23 Be very careful about this: do not eat blood, because the life is in the blood. Do not eat the life together with the meat.

4Lev. 7:26 Do not consume blood as food wherever you live—neither the blood of birds nor the blood of animals. Anyone who eats blood will be removed from the people.

5Lev. 17:10 If anyone from Israel or any foreigner living among you eats blood, YHWH will turn against that person and remove him from the people. For the life is in the blood, and I have appointed it on the altar to cover the debt for life: it is the blood, which contains life, that covers the debt. This is why I told the people of Israel: none of you, and no foreigner living among you, may eat blood.

6Deut. 12:24 Do not eat blood. Pour it out on the ground like water. Do not eat it, so that things may go well for you and your children after you, because in doing this you are doing what is right before YHWH.

8Lev. 17:13 If anyone from the people of Israel or any foreigner living among you catches an animal or bird while hunting that is fit for food, he must drain its blood and cover it with earth. For the life of every living creature is in its blood. This is why YHWH told the people of Israel: do not eat the blood of any living creature, because the blood is its life, and anyone who eats it will be removed from the people.

9Lev. 3:17 This is a permanent rule for all generations, wherever you live: do not eat blood or internal fat (tuk).

11Lev. 7:24 The fat of an animal that has died or was sick may be used for other purposes, but it must not be eaten.

12Ex. 22:31 Do not eat the meat of an animal that was torn apart by a wild animal in the field. Throw it to the dogs.

13Deut. 14:21 Do not eat any animal that has died on its own (carrion). You may give it to a foreigner living among you to eat if he wants, or you may sell it to him, because you are the people of YHWH your Elohim.

14Deut. 12:20 When YHWH your Elohim expands your territory, as He promised you, and you want to eat meat because you desire it, you may eat as much meat as you want.

15Deut. 12:15 You may slaughter animals and eat as much meat as you want, according to the blessing YHWH your Elohim has given you, wherever you live. Both a person who is considered unclean at the time and one who is clean may eat it—just as people eat deer or gazelle (in other words, ordinary meat not connected with a sacrifice). But do not eat the blood. Pour it out on the ground like water.

16Deut. 12:21 If the place YHWH your Elohim chooses for His name to dwell is far from you, then slaughter from the cattle or flocks YHWH has given you, as I commanded you, and eat it in your own homes whenever you desire it. Eat it just as you would eat gazelle or deer (in other words, without the special rules that apply to sacred food). Both the clean and the unclean may eat it.

18Lev. 11:26 Any animal whose hooves are divided, but not completely, and that does not chew the cud is not fit for food. Anyone who touches it becomes unclean.

19Deut. 14:7 (Lev. 11:4) But there are animals you must not eat even though they have one of these characteristics: the camel, hare, and hyrax chew the cud, but they do not have fully divided hooves, so they are not fit for food. And the pig: although it has divided hooves, it does not chew the cud, so it is also not fit for food. Do not eat their meat or touch their dead bodies.

20Lev. 11:27 Any four-legged animal that walks on paws is not fit for food. Anyone who touches it becomes unclean until evening.

21Lev. 11:9 (Deut. 14:9) Of everything that lives in the water, those that have fins and scales—whether in the seas or rivers—are fit for food and may be eaten.

22Lev. 11:10 (Deut. 14:10) Everything in the seas or rivers that does not have fins and scales, among all living creatures in the water, is not fit for food. Do not eat their meat or touch their dead bodies—they are not intended for food.

23Deut. 14:11 Any bird that is fit for food may be eaten.

24Deut. 14:12 (Lev. 11:13) These are the birds that are not fit for food: the eagle, vulture, sea eagle, carrion vulture, falcon, every kind of kite, every kind of raven, ostrich, owl, seagull, every kind of hawk, little owl, ibis, eagle owl, pelican, griffon vulture, cormorant, stork, every kind of heron, hoopoe, and bat.

25Lev. 11:20 (Deut. 14:19) Every flying insect that moves on four legs is not fit for food.

Matt. 3:4 Yochanan wore clothing made of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

26Lev. 11:21 But these flying insects that move on four legs may be eaten: those that have special jointed legs above their feet for jumping on the ground. These include different kinds of locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers. All other flying insects with four legs are not fit for food. Anyone who touches their dead body becomes unclean until evening.

27Lev. 11:29 These are the animals that crawl or move along the ground and are not fit for food: the mole, mouse, different kinds of lizards, monitor lizard, chameleon, snail, and others like them. All of these are not fit for food. Anyone who touches their dead body becomes unclean until evening.

28Lev. 11:41 Everything that crawls on the ground is not fit for food—do not eat it. Anything among these creatures that moves on its belly, walks on four legs, or has many legs—do not eat it, because these creatures are not intended for food.

29Lev. 11:43 Do not make yourselves unclean through animals that crawl on the ground, and do not defile yourselves with them. I am YHWH your Elohim: live set apart and according to what is right, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean through any animal that crawls on the ground.

1Deut. 22:5 A woman must not wear clothing intended for men, and a man must not wear clothing intended for women. This is detestable to YHWH your Elohim.

2Num. 15:38 Tell the children of Israel that throughout all their generations they are to make tassels* on the edges of their clothing and weave a blue thread into them. These tassels will remind you of all YHWH’s commandments so that you will obey them and not follow your own desires or whatever attracts your eyes. In this way, you will remember and obey all the commandments and live as YHWH’s set-apart people.

3Deut. 22:12 Make tassels* on the four corners of the covering you use to cover yourself.

1Lev. 19:19a Do not breed your domestic animals with animals of another kind.

2Lev. 19:19b Do not sow your field with different kinds of seed.

3Deut. 22:9 Do not sow grain in your vineyard, or both the grapes and the entire harvest will become unusable.

4Deut. 22:10 Do not yoke an ox and a donkey together to work in the same harness.

5Lev. 19:23 When you enter the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you and plant a fruit tree, do not eat its fruit during the first three years—consider it forbidden for yourselves. In the fourth year, set apart all its fruit for YHWH—for celebration. Beginning in the fifth year, you may eat its fruit and gather the harvest.

Jubilees, Ch. 7 Noah planted a vineyard after the Flood, and it produced fruit only in the fourth year. He set that fruit aside and used it only in the fifth year. This established the order: during the first three years, the fruit is not eaten; in the fourth year, it is set apart for YHWH; and beginning in the fifth year, it may be used. Then order and increase follow.

6Ex. 23:10 For six years, sow your land and gather its harvest, but in the seventh year, let the land rest. During that time, let the poor among your people eat from it, and whatever remains, let the wild animals eat. Do the same with your vineyard and olive trees.

8Lev. 25:20 If you ask, “What will we eat during the seventh year if we do not sow or gather a harvest?” YHWH says: I will send My blessing in the sixth year, and it will produce enough for three years. You will sow in the eighth year, but you will still be eating from the previous harvest until the ninth year, when the new harvest comes in.

9Deut. 22:6 If you come across a bird’s nest along the way—whether in a tree or on the ground—with young birds or eggs, and the mother is sitting on them, do not take the mother together with her young. Let the mother go, but you may take the young birds or the eggs for yourself. Then things will go well for you, and your days will be prolonged.

10Lev. 22:27 When a calf, lamb, or young goat is born, let it remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day onward, it may be brought to YHWH as an offering. Do not slaughter a cow or sheep on the same day as its young.

11Deut. 25:4 Do not prevent an ox from eating grain while it is working.

Prov. 12:10 A righteous person cares for his animals and understands their needs, but the heart of the wicked is cruel.

1 Tim. 5:17 Leaders who lead well should be respected and supported, especially those who work in teaching the Word. For Scripture says: “Do not prevent an ox from eating grain while it is working” (Deut. 25:4) and “The worker deserves his reward” (Luke 10:7).

1Deut. 23:9 When you go out against your enemies, keep yourself in order and do not cross the boundaries of what is right (do not allow yourself to do wrong).

Eph. 5:15 Pay close attention to how you live. Act thoughtfully, not as the unwise, but as the wise.

1 Pet. 5:8 Stay focused and remain alert. Your enemy walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

1 Thess. 5:6 So let us not sleep as others do, but stay awake and remain clear-minded.

1 Cor. 10:12 Anyone who thinks he is standing firmly should be careful not to fall.

2Deut. 23:10 If a man has a nighttime discharge (an ejaculation during sleep), he must go outside the camp and remain outside it. Toward evening, he must wash himself with water, and after sunset he may return to the camp.

4Deut. 20:1 When you go out against an enemy and see that their forces are greater than yours—with more horses, chariots, and people—do not be afraid. YHWH your Elohim is with you, the One who brought you out of Mitsrayim.

Isa. 35:3 (Heb. 12:12) Support those whose hands have dropped and strengthen those who can barely stand. Say to those who are afraid, “Be strong. Do not fear. YHWH will come—He will restore justice and save you.”

5Deut. 20:2 When you approach the battle, the priest must come forward and say to the people: “Listen, Israel! Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not lose courage. Do not be afraid, do not panic, and do not break down inside. YHWH your Elohim is going with you—He will fight for you and save you.”

Ps. 118:6 YHWH is with me—I am not afraid. What can a person do to me?

Rom. 8:31 If YHWH is for us, who can be against us?

6Num. 10:2 Make two silver trumpets. They are to be used to gather the people and to signal when it is time to move. When both trumpets are sounded, the whole community gathers at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. If only one is sounded, the leaders—the heads of the thousands of Israel—gather. When a broken trumpet signal is sounded, the camps set out according to their positions—first one group, then another, following the established order.

7Num. 10:9 When you are at war in your land against an enemy who oppresses you, sound the broken trumpet signal. Then YHWH your Elohim will remember you and save you from your enemies.

9Deut. 20:10 When you approach a city to take it, first offer peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people will pay tribute to you and serve* you. But if they refuse and begin to fight, lay siege to the city. And when YHWH your Elohim gives it into your hands, strike the men with its sword**—those who are fighting against you.

1 Pet. 3:11 Seek peace and hold on to it.

10Deut. 20:19 If you keep a city under siege for a long time, do not destroy trees that provide food. Do not ruin the land around it—the tree is not your enemy and cannot run away from you. Only trees that do not produce food may be cut down and used to build defenses against the city until you take it.

11Deut. 20:14 Take for yourself the women, children, livestock, and everything in the city—all the plunder—and use what YHWH your Elohim has given you. This is how you are to deal with cities that are far from you and do not belong to these nations: the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

12Deut. 20:16 In the cities of those nations that are near you and that YHWH your Elohim is giving you as a place to live, do not leave anyone alive. Completely destroy the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—as YHWH your Elohim commanded—so that they do not teach you their practices, causing you to do the same and break YHWH’s commandments.

13Num. 31:22 Gold, silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin—everything that can be purified by fire—must be passed through fire and then through the cleansing water. Anything that cannot pass through fire must be cleansed with water. Wash your clothing on the seventh day. After that, you will be clean and may return to the camp.

14Deut. 20:5 Anyone who is engaged but has not yet begun living with his wife should return home, so that he does not die in battle and another man takes his place. Anyone who has built a house but has not yet begun living in it should return home, so that he does not die in battle and another person lives in it. Anyone who has planted a vineyard but has not yet begun enjoying its fruit should return home, so that he does not die in battle and another person enjoys it.

15Deut. 24:5 If a man has recently married, he must not go to war or be given any other duties. He should remain at home for one year and bring joy to his wife.

16Deut. 20:8 Anyone who is afraid and lacks confidence should return home, so that he does not spread his fear to others.

1Deut. 23:23 Whatever you promise with your own mouth, carry it out. If you voluntarily promise a gift to YHWH your Elohim, be sure to fulfill it.

Eccl. 5:5 It is better not to make a promise than to make one and not fulfill it.

2Num. 30:3 If a person makes a promise to YHWH or takes an oath that binds him by his word, he must not break it. He must do everything he said with his own mouth.

Prov. 20:25 It is dangerous to make a promise too quickly and then reconsider it afterward.

3Deut. 23:21 If you make a promise to YHWH your Elohim, do not delay—fulfill it. Otherwise, it will be counted as your guilt.

4Deut. 23:22 If you did not make a promise, you are not guilty.

Matt. 5:34 (James 5:12) Do not swear at all—by heaven, by the earth, by Jerusalem, or by your own head. You cannot change even one hair. Let your “yes” simply be “yes,” and your “no” simply be “no.”

5Lev. 5:4 A person may carelessly promise to do something—whether good or bad. But when he realizes what he has said, he becomes guilty if he does not fulfill it. He must admit his mistake and bring YHWH the required compensation (a sacrifice) for his wrongdoing. In this way, his guilt is covered.

James 1:26 If a person thinks he is living rightly but does not control his tongue, he is deceiving himself—his faith is empty.

1 Pet. 3:10 Whoever wants to enjoy life and see good days should keep his tongue from evil and not speak deceitfully.

6Deut. 23:18 Do not bring into the house of YHWH your Elohim money received through sexual immorality or other unclean income, even if it was promised. This is unacceptable before YHWH.

Matt. 27:5 Judas threw the money into the Temple and left. The priests said, “It is not permitted to put this money into the Temple treasury because it is money connected with blood.”

7Lev. 27:2 If a person makes a promise to YHWH and says that he is dedicating himself or another person, a set value is assigned. For a man from twenty to sixty years old, the value is fifty shekels of silver (≈ 570 g, ≈ 20.1 oz); for a woman, thirty shekels (≈ 342 g, ≈ 12.1 oz).

8Lev. 27:5 If a person makes a promise and dedicates someone from five to twenty years old, a set value is assigned: for a young man, twenty shekels of silver (≈ 228 g, ≈ 8.0 oz); for a young woman, ten shekels (≈ 114 g, ≈ 4.0 oz).

9Lev. 27:6 If a person makes a promise and dedicates someone from one month to five years old, a set value is assigned: for a boy, five shekels of silver (≈ 57 g, ≈ 2.0 oz); for a girl, three shekels (≈ 34 g, ≈ 1.2 oz).

10Lev. 27:7 If a person makes a promise and dedicates someone sixty years old or older, a set value is assigned: for a man, fifteen shekels of silver (≈ 171 g, ≈ 6.0 oz); for a woman, ten shekels (≈ 114 g, ≈ 4.0 oz).

11Lev. 27:8 If a person is too poor to pay the assigned value, he must come before the priest, and the priest will set the amount according to what the person can afford.

12Lev. 27:9 If a person promises to give YHWH an animal from the livestock that may be brought as an offering to Him, from that moment it is no longer his—it becomes dedicated to YHWH.

13Lev. 27:10 You may not exchange or replace what you have promised to YHWH—neither a better animal for a worse one nor a worse animal for a better one. If you do replace one animal with another, both animals will be considered dedicated to YHWH.

14Lev. 27:11 If a person promises YHWH an animal that is considered unclean (for example, a donkey), he must bring it to the priest. The priest will evaluate it, whether it is in good or poor condition, and the amount will be set according to that valuation.

15Lev. 27:13 If a person wants to redeem what he promised to YHWH, he must pay the assigned value and add one-fifth (20%) to it.

16Lev. 27:14 If a person dedicates his house to YHWH, the priest must evaluate it according to its condition. The amount will be set according to that valuation.

17Lev. 27:15 If a person wants to redeem the house he promised to YHWH, he must pay the assigned value and add one-fifth (20%). Then the house will belong to him again.

18Lev. 27:16 If a person dedicates to YHWH a field from his own property, its value must be determined according to the amount of seed needed for it: land requiring one omer of barley seed is valued at fifty shekels of silver.

19Lev. 27:17 If a person dedicates his field immediately after the Jubilee Year, the full established value applies.

20Lev. 27:18 If a person dedicates his field sometime after the Jubilee, its value must be calculated according to the number of years remaining until the next Jubilee, and the valuation must be reduced accordingly.

21Lev. 27:19 If a person wants to redeem the field he dedicated, he must add one-fifth (20%) to its assessed value, and the field will remain his.

22Lev. 27:20 If a person does not redeem the field he dedicated to YHWH, or if the field passes to someone else, he will no longer be able to redeem it. When the Jubilee Year comes, the field becomes completely dedicated to YHWH and will no longer return to its former owner.

23Lev. 27:22 If a person dedicates to YHWH a field that he purchased and that is not part of his inherited property, its value must be calculated according to the years remaining until the Jubilee Year, and he must pay that amount on that day as something dedicated to YHWH. In the Jubilee Year, the field returns to the person from whom it was purchased—the one to whom the land originally belongs.

24Lev. 27:25 Every valuation must be made according to the established shekel: one shekel of silver equals twenty gerahs (≈ 11.4 g, ≈ 0.40 oz).

25Lev. 27:27 If a person dedicates to YHWH an animal from livestock considered unclean (which cannot be brought directly as an offering), it may be redeemed for its assigned value plus one-fifth (20%). If it is not redeemed, it must be sold for its assessed value.

26Lev. 27:28 Anything a person completely dedicates to YHWH from his own property—a person, livestock, or a field from his own inheritance—may neither be sold nor redeemed. Anything dedicated in this way belongs completely to YHWH.

27Num. 6:2 If a man or woman decides to make a special vow—to become a Nazirite* (a person who completely dedicates himself or herself to YHWH for a period of time)—that person accepts a restriction: not to consume anything connected with grapes. A Nazirite does not drink wine or strong drink, not even vinegar made from them, does not drink any beverage made from grapes, and does not eat fresh or dried grapes. Throughout the time of the vow, the Nazirite completely abstains from everything that comes from grapes—from the seeds to the skins.

28Num. 6:5 Throughout the time of the Nazirite vow, no razor may touch his head. Until the days for which he dedicated himself to YHWH are completed, he remains set apart and lets the hair on his head grow.

29Num. 6:6 During all the days in which he has dedicated himself to YHWH as a Nazirite, he must not go near a dead body. Even if his father, mother, brother, or sister dies, he must not touch them and become unclean, because YHWH’s dedication is upon him.

Matt. 8:21 Another disciple said to Him, “Let me first go and bury my father.” But Yeshua said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

30Num. 6:8 Throughout all the days of his Nazirite vow, he is dedicated to YHWH.

33Num. 6:18 When his vow is completed, the Nazirite shaves his head at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, takes the hair, and places it on the fire beneath the peace offering. Then the priest takes the cooked shoulder of the ram, one unleavened loaf, and one unleavened cake from the basket and places them in the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his head.

34Num. 6:20 The priest lifts these before YHWH as a special offering. This portion becomes set apart for the priest, in addition to the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the lifted offering. After this, the Nazirite may drink wine again.

35Num. 6:21 This is the law of the Nazirite: he makes a vow and brings the established offering to YHWH for his Nazirite vow. But if he is able, he may bring more. Whatever vow he has made, he must fulfill it, in addition to what is required by the law of the Nazirite.

Josh. 8:35 There was not a single word of everything Moses had commanded that Yeshua son of Nun did not read before the whole community of Israel—the men, women, children, and foreigners living among them.

Ezek. 47:21 Divide this land among the tribes of Israel, so that each has its own portion. Divide it not only among yourselves, but also among the foreigners who live among you and whose children were born there. Treat them as residents of the land just like the native-born Israelites. They too must receive their portion together with you among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe a foreigner lives, give him his land there, says YHWH.

Eph. 2:11 Remember: in the past you lived as pagan nations, without knowing the ways of YHWH. You were called “uncircumcised” by those who took pride in their outward circumcision, performed by human hands. At that time, you were without Yeshua the Anointed One. You were separated from the life of the people of Israel and did not share in YHWH’s Covenants and promises. You had no firm hope and lived in the world without knowing the Most High. But now, you who were once far away have been brought near through Yeshua the Anointed One.

Gal. 3:28 There is no longer a division between Jew and Gentile*, no distinction between a debt servant and a free person, and no distinction between man and woman before YHWH, because you are all one in Yeshua the Anointed One—one chosen people living according to the Word of YHWH, which is the same for everyone.

2Deut. 23:24 If you enter your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you want until you are satisfied, but do not take any with you (do not gather anything into your bag).

3Deut. 23:25 If you enter your neighbor’s field, you may pick a few heads of grain and eat them, but do not use a sickle or begin harvesting his crop.

4Deut. 22:1 If you see that your neighbor’s ox or sheep has wandered away, do not ignore it—return the animal to him. If he lives far away or you do not know whose animal it is, take it home and keep it until its owner comes looking for it, and then return it. Do the same with his donkey, his clothing, or anything else he has lost that you find. You have no right to pretend that it is none of your concern.

5Deut. 22:4 If you see your neighbor’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it—help him get the animal back on its feet.

Gal. 6:2 Help one another through difficulties and support each other when life is hard. In this way, you fulfill YHWH’s commandments, because this is what they are about. Yeshua did not add something new—He showed this through His own life.

John 15:12 This is My command: love one another as I have loved you.

6Ex. 23:4 If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey that has wandered away, return it to him. If you see your enemy’s donkey fallen under a heavy load, do not walk past it—help him remove the load and get the animal back on its feet.

Matt. 5:44 And I tell you: act with love even toward those who are against you—continue to follow YHWH’s commandments in how you treat them. Speak good to those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat and persecute you. In this way, you will be true sons of your Father in Heaven, because He makes the sun shine on both the evil and the good and sends rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Matt. 5:39 And I tell you: do not respond to evil with evil. If someone strikes you on the cheek, do not take revenge. If someone wants to take you to court and take your shirt, be ready to give up even your outer garment.

Rom. 12:21 Do not allow evil to control you and push you into doing the same kind of evil. Instead, respond with good.

Rom. 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Instead, try to do what is right and good before everyone.

Luke 6:35 But you—love your enemies, help them, and lend without expecting anything in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will become children of the Most High!

7Deut. 24:19 When you gather the harvest from your field and leave behind a bundle of grain, do not go back for it. Leave it for the foreigner (someone who has come to live among you), the orphan, and the widow, so that YHWH your Elohim may bless everything you do.

Prov. 11:24 One person gives generously—and ends up with more. Another holds everything back, afraid to give—and in the end becomes poor.

8Deut. 24:20 When you gather olives from your tree, do not take everything. Leave some for the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.

9Deut. 24:21 When you gather grapes from your vineyard, do not go back and collect everything left behind. Leave it for the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.

10Lev. 19:9 When you gather the harvest from your land, do not harvest all the way to the edges of the field, and do not pick up what is left behind. In your vineyard, do not strip everything bare or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner.

2 Cor. 8:14 Right now, you have more than you need and can help those who are in need. If one day you are the ones facing hardship, their abundance can support you. This is how balance and mutual support work. As Scripture says: “The one who gathered more had nothing left over, and the one who gathered less had no shortage.”

11Lev. 25:35 If your brother becomes poor and finds himself in a difficult situation among you, support him—whether he is a foreigner or a temporary resident—so that he can continue to live and manage.

1 John 3:17 If a person has enough but sees that his brother is in need and closes his heart, refusing to help, how can the love of YHWH remain in him?

1 Cor. 6:7 The fact that you have lawsuits and disputes with one another is already a failure. Why not endure injustice instead? Why not accept the loss? But you yourselves act unjustly and take from others—and you do this to your own brothers. Do you not know that those who live unrighteously will not inherit the Kingdom of YHWH?

13Ex. 20:15 Do not take what belongs to someone else (do not steal).

14Ex. 20:17 (Deut. 5:21) Do not allow your heart to compare yourself with your neighbor and desire what belongs to him—his home, his family, his possessions, or anything else that has been given to him.

15Lev. 19:14 Do not speak evil of a deaf person, taking advantage of the fact that he cannot hear you, and do not put an obstacle in front of a blind person, taking advantage of the fact that he cannot see it. Remember your responsibility before YHWH your Elohim (fear YHWH your Elohim).

Rom. 14:13 Stop judging one another. Instead, pay attention to your own actions so that you do not lead your brother into making a mistake or put him in a situation where it becomes difficult for him to do what is right.

Rom. 14:21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine—or do anything else—that may cause your brother to stray from the path or weaken his faithfulness.

1 Cor. 8:13 Therefore, if what I eat may cause my brother to stray from the path, I would rather give up meat completely than push him into doing something he himself has decided not to do.

16Lev. 19:16 Do not go around among people spreading gossip and carrying other people’s words from one person to another (a “carrier”*).

Prov. 11:13 A person who spreads gossip reveals other people’s secrets, but a faithful person knows how to keep what has been entrusted to him confidential.

Prov. 20:19 A person who spreads gossip reveals other people’s secrets. Do not associate with someone who talks too much and cannot keep his mouth shut.

Prov. 6:16 These are things that are detestable to YHWH: when a person looks down on others; knowingly speaks lies; harms an innocent person; plans in advance how to do evil; rushes to take part in wrongdoing; gives false testimony; and deliberately turns people against one another and destroys their relationships.

1 Tim. 5:13 When a person becomes accustomed to doing nothing, he begins going from house to house, wasting time, talking too much, interfering in other people’s affairs, and saying things that should not be said.

17Lev. 19:17 Do not hold hatred in your heart toward your brother. If he is doing something wrong, speak to him directly and honestly, so that you do not end up doing wrong yourself by holding resentment inside.

Matt. 5:23 If you come before YHWH with a gift and remember there that you have hurt your brother, leave your gift there. First go and make peace with him; then come back and bring your gift.

Rom. 12:18 If it depends on you, do everything you can on your part to live in peace with everyone.

Matt. 18:15 If your brother does wrong against you, do not discuss it with others. Go to him yourself and speak with him privately. Calmly explain what he did wrong. If he listens to you and accepts it, you have preserved your brother.

Luke 17:3 Watch yourselves. If your brother hurts you or does something wrong against you, tell him directly. If he admits his wrongdoing and repents, forgive him.

18Lev. 19:18 Do not take revenge or hold resentment in your heart against others. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Prov. 20:22 Do not say, “I will repay this evil.” Leave it to YHWH—He Himself will stand up for you and protect you.

Matt. 5:39 But I tell you: do not respond to evil with evil. If someone strikes you on the cheek, do not strike back—be prepared to endure even a second blow.

Matt. 6:12 Forgive us our wrongs, just as we forgive those who have wronged us.

Matt. 6:14 If you forgive people for the wrong they have done against you, your Father in Heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive the wrong you have done.

Matt. 5:22 Anyone who allows himself to remain angry with his brother without first understanding the situation and without serious reason is accountable to the local court. Anyone who attacks his brother as a person (through insults, bullying, or mockery) is accountable to the Supreme Council. And anyone who degrades him as a human being, stripping away his human dignity, places himself under the judgment of YHWH, which leads to final condemnation.

1 Pet. 3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. Instead, speak good and wish good for others—this is what you are called to do, so that you may live under YHWH’s blessing.

1 Thess. 5:15 Make sure that no one repays evil with evil. Always seek to do good—to one another and to everyone.

Rom. 12:19 Do not take revenge for yourselves. Leave room for YHWH’s anger—He Himself will deal with it. For it is written: “Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay,” says YHWH.

Eph. 4:26 If you become angry, do not let your anger control what you do. Do not go to sleep while still holding on to your anger.

20Num. 35:33 Do not make the land where you live unclean. Blood that has been shed defiles the land, and the guilt for it does not disappear on its own. It is removed only when the person who shed that blood is held accountable.

Luke 11:50 This generation will be held accountable for the blood of all the prophets killed since the beginning of the world—from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held accountable for all of it.

Heb. 9:22 According to the Law, almost everything is cleansed through blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

Rev. 6:9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw near the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the Word of YHWH and because of the testimony they had held to. They cried out loudly: “Holy and True Ruler, how much longer will You wait? When will You judge those living on the earth and hold them accountable for our blood?” Each of them was given a white garment and told to rest a little longer, until the full number of their brothers and those serving YHWH with them was reached—those who were also going to be killed as they had been.

Rev. 16:5 I heard the angel of the waters say: “YHWH, You are righteous and holy; You always were and You are. You have judged this way because they shed the blood of the set-apart people and the prophets—now they must face the consequences.” Then I heard a voice from the altar: “Yes, YHWH Almighty, Your judgments are true and just.”

21Ex. 22:22 Do not mistreat a widow or an orphan. If you cause them pain and they call to Me for help, I will hear them. Then My anger will rise against you, and you will answer with your lives—your wives will become widows and your children orphans.

James 1:27 A true and clean life before YHWH our Father means caring for orphans and widows in their difficulties and keeping yourself from the destructive influence of this world.

22Lev. 19:16 Do not remain indifferent when your neighbor’s life is in danger. I am YHWH your Elohim. You live before Me.

Luke 10:30 Yeshua answered this way: A man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers. They beat him, stripped off his clothing, and left him barely alive. By chance, a Temple servant was traveling along that road. He saw the man and passed by. Then a Levite came along. He also approached, looked at him, and passed by.

Prov. 19:17 Whoever helps the poor is like someone lending to YHWH Himself—and He will surely repay him for the good he has done.

Luke 6:38 Give, and you will also receive. You will be given generously, overflowing with more than you expect. For the measure you use with others will also be used for you.

24Deut. 15:10 Lend to your brother and do not give with a heavy heart. Do not sigh and think, “Here we go again...” Help calmly and with kindness. Because you give without complaining or holding resentment inside, YHWH your Elohim will bless you in all your work and in everything you do with your hands.

2 Cor. 9:7 Let each person give as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly and not because someone forced him. YHWH loves a person who gives willingly and with joy.

25Ex. 20:16 Do not speak falsely* about your neighbor or make claims against him that are not true.

26Lev. 19:11 Do not lie to one another or mislead one another. Do not distort the facts for your own benefit or take advantage of another person’s trust.

Ps. 101:7 There will be no place in My house for anyone who acts deceitfully or dishonestly. Anyone who speaks lies will not stand before My eyes.

Col. 3:9 Do not lie to one another. Do not distort the facts or pretend to be someone you are not.

Rev. 21:8 But those who live in fear and refuse to trust the Word of YHWH and His commandments, those who choose an unclean life, who murder, commit sexual immorality, practice sorcery, worship idols, and live in lies—their path leads to the lake of fire. This is the second death.

27Lev. 19:35 Do not act dishonestly, whether in judgment or in measurements. Do not distort the facts or cheat in weight, size, or calculations.

Prov. 11:1 Dishonest scales are detestable to YHWH, but accurate and honest weight is pleasing to Him.

28Deut. 25:13 Do not keep different weights—one heavier and another lighter—to manipulate the numbers in your favor. Do not keep different measures in your house—one for buying and another for selling. Let your weights and measures be accurate and honest. Then you will live long in the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you, because every kind of dishonesty in this is detestable to Him.

Prov. 20:10 Inaccurate and manipulated weights and dishonest measures—all of these are detestable to YHWH.

Mark 4:24 He said to them: Listen carefully. The measure you use with others will also be used for you—and more will be given to those who hear this commandment and live by it.

29Lev. 19:36 Let your measurements be accurate: baskets of the correct volume, containers holding the honest amount, and scales showing the true weight.

Prov. 16:11 Honest scales and accurate balances are from YHWH. All correct measures come from Him.

30Ex. 23:1 Do not spread false rumors. Do not take the side of someone who is doing wrong and become a false witness yourself.

Eph. 4:25 Therefore, stop living in lies and speak truth to one another. We are connected to one another and each of us is part of the whole.

31Ex. 23:7 Stay far away from lies and anything that distorts the truth. Do not become responsible for the death of an innocent person or someone who is doing what is right. Do not expect YHWH to accept your excuses when you act against His commandments.

Ps. 1:1 A person who does not live by the advice of those who ignore YHWH, does not follow the path of those who continually break His commandments, and does not remain among those who mock what is right before Him lives a truly happy life.

1 Cor. 15:33 Do not deceive yourselves: bad company can ruin even good character.

32Deut. 19:14 Do not move your neighbor’s property boundary that was established earlier and marks his inheritance in the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you to possess.

Prov. 22:28 Do not move an ancient boundary established by your fathers, taking someone else’s land and what does not belong to you.

33Deut. 16:20 Pursue justice (what is right*)—pursue it again and again—so that you may live and keep the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you.

Phil. 4:8 Finally, keep your thoughts on what is true, honest, right, pure, worthy of respect, and admirable. Keep your mind on what is truly valuable and worthy of approval.

1 Thess. 5:21 Test everything. Do not accept something without thinking it through. Hold on to what is truly good, and stay away from every form of evil.

Matt. 6:33 Seek first the Kingdom of YHWH and live according to what is right before Him, and everything else will come to you in its proper time.

34Deut. 6:18 Do what is honest and right in the eyes of YHWH, and then things will go well for you.

35Deut. 23:7 Do not treat an Edomite* as detestable or unworthy—he is your brother. Do not treat a person from Mitsrayim that way either, because you once lived as foreigners in his land.

Mark 3:7 Yeshua withdrew to the sea with His disciples, and a large crowd followed Him from Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. People also came from the regions around Tyre and Sidon because they had heard about what He was doing.

36Deut. 15:1 In every Seventh Year*, forgive debts. If you have lent something to your neighbor or brother, do not demand it back—release the debt. This is done for YHWH. You may collect what is owed to you from people of other nations, but release the debts of those among your own people.

37Deut. 15:9 Be careful not to let this thought enter your heart: “The Seventh Year, the year of debt release, is approaching,” causing you to become hard toward your poor brother and refuse to help him. If he cries out to YHWH because of you, you will be held responsible.

Luke 6:34 If you lend only to those from whom you expect to be repaid, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that—they lend to others expecting to receive the same amount back. But you—love your enemies, help them, and lend without expecting anything in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will become children of the Most High.

Rom. 12:13 Share what you have with others who live according to the way of YHWH, and welcome guests with an open heart.

Heb. 13:2 Do not neglect hospitality, because through it some people have welcomed angels without realizing it.

1 Pet. 4:9 Show hospitality to one another without complaining.

39Deut. 10:19 Love the foreigner who lives among you, because you yourselves once lived as foreigners in the land of Mitsrayim.

40Lev. 19:32 Show respect for an elderly person: stand up in his presence, treat him with honor, listen to him, and value him.

1 Tim. 5:1 Do not speak harshly to an older person (an elder) or raise your voice at him. Speak to him respectfully, as you would to a father. Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with complete purity in your thoughts and actions.

41Lev. 25:15 When buying land from your neighbor after the Jubilee Year (the special year when the land returns to its former owners), think of it as temporary use: you are not paying to own the land forever, but for the number of harvests you will be able to receive from it until the next Jubilee. The more years remain until the next Jubilee, the higher the price; the fewer years remain, the lower the price. Do not take advantage of one another, and live with an awareness of YHWH, for I am YHWH, your Almighty.

42Lev. 25:23 The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is Mine. You are only temporary residents on it, using what belongs to Me.

43Lev. 25:24 All the land you use must be able to be redeemed. If someone sells a piece of land, he or his family may recover it by paying a fair price based on the number of years and harvests remaining until the next Jubilee. This rule applies throughout the land so that no one permanently loses his property.

44Lev. 25:25 If someone in your community becomes poor and sells part of his land, a close relative should redeem it. If there is no one to redeem it, but the original owner later becomes able to gather the necessary amount, he should calculate the value according to the number of years remaining until the next Jubilee, repay the buyer the appropriate amount, and receive his land back. If he cannot afford to redeem it, the land remains with the buyer until the Jubilee Year, and in that special year it returns to its former owner.

45Lev. 25:29 If someone sells his home in a city (meaning a city surrounded by a protective wall), the former owner may redeem it only within one year. If he does not do so, the house remains with the buyer permanently. Houses in villages and settlements without a protective wall may be redeemed at any time, and in the Jubilee they return to their former owners.

1Ex. 21:2 If your brother has come to work for you because of a debt (a debt servant), let him work for six years. In the seventh year, he must go free, and you must not require any payment for his release. If he came alone, he leaves alone. If he was married, his wife leaves with him.

2Ex. 21:4 If the master gave him (the debt servant) a wife from his own household, and she gave birth to sons or daughters, the wife and children remain* in the master’s household, while he may leave on his own.

4Deut. 15:12 If your brother—whether a man or a woman—comes into debt service with you, let that person serve you for six years* as a debt servant, and in the Seventh Year set that person free. When you release them, do not send them away empty-handed. Give generously from what YHWH has blessed you with.

5Deut. 15:18 Do not consider it a loss when you set a debt servant free. During six years of service, he has worked for you twice as much as a hired worker, and YHWH your Elohim will bless you in everything you do.

6Ex. 21:7 If, during a difficult time, a man places his daughter in another household in debt service with the intention of securing her future within that family, then if she is released, her situation is not handled in the same way as that of other debt servants. If the master who accepted her with the intention of taking her as his wife decides not to marry her*, he must give her the opportunity to be redeemed**. He has no right to transfer her for payment to a foreign people, because he has taken responsibility for her.

7Lev. 25:47 If a foreigner living among you becomes wealthy, while your brother, because of debt and financial ruin, loses his land and is forced to enter debt service with that foreigner or with someone from his family, he still has the right to be redeemed. His brother, uncle, cousin, or any close relative may redeem him. If he later has enough money himself, he may redeem himself.

8Deut. 23:15 If a debt servant runs away from his master and comes to you seeking protection, do not return him. Let him live among you wherever he chooses, in the place where life is good for him. Do not oppress him.

9Lev. 19:20 If a man has sexual relations with a woman who is a debt servant and has already been promised to another man, this is adultery. Under YHWH’s Law, adultery carries the death sentence for both. But in this case, she has not yet been released and remains in debt service, so the highest penalty does not apply to them. They will be punished, but their lives will be spared.

10Lev. 25:39 If your brother becomes poor and loses his land, and because of this has to work for you, do not treat him as a debt servant. Let him stay with you as a hired worker*, like a temporary resident—working alongside you. Until the Jubilee Year, when people receive their land back, you are responsible for him and must not leave him without support. In that year, he and his children return home and take possession of their land again.

11Lev. 25:42 Do not treat a poor brother who works for you as a hired worker like a debt servant who may be transferred to another person for payment. Do not rule over him harshly. You are accountable to YHWH for how you treat him.

12Lev. 25:44 You may take debt servants from the nations around you, as well as from the residents living among you and from their children born in your land. Their service may continue within your household from generation to generation. Do not rule harshly over one another—for you are YHWH’s people.

13Ex. 21:20 If a person who has a male or female debt servant strikes that servant with an object and the servant dies immediately from the blow, the punishment established by law for causing death will apply. But if the servant survives for a day or two (that is, does not die immediately or remains alive), the case is treated differently—as causing serious injury. The master already suffers the consequences by losing the servant’s work and taking the financial loss.

14Ex. 21:26 If a person who has a male or female debt servant damages the servant’s eye by striking him, he must set the servant free because of the eye. If he knocks out the servant’s tooth, he must also set the servant free because of the tooth.

15Ex. 21:32 If someone’s ox kills another person’s male or female debt servant, the owner of the ox must pay the servant’s master thirty shekels of silver (approximately 350 grams, about 11–12 ounces of silver) as compensation for the loss of the servant. At the same time, responsibility for the death itself still remains (see Ex. 21:28–29). The ox must also be put to death.

1Ex. 21:24 Be careful in what you do—you will be held responsible by the same measure: eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, injury for injury.

Matt. 5:29 If something is pushing you toward wrong thoughts or actions, resist it—do not look at it or take part in it, so that you do not begin doing what is wrong and become trapped in it. Get rid of harmful habits before they begin controlling you—it is safer for your whole being (so that your soul does not perish).

2Ex. 21:18 If two people get into a fight and one strikes the other with a stone or his fist, causing an injury so that the person falls and cannot get up but remains alive, it is not considered murder. However, the person who caused the injury must pay for the time the injured person was unable to work and for his medical treatment.

3Ex. 21:22 If an argument turns into a fight and someone accidentally strikes a pregnant woman, causing her to lose her child, but she herself is otherwise unharmed, the person responsible must pay a fine—the amount is determined by the court or by the woman’s husband. But if serious injury or death occurs, the penalty must be proportional—nothing more and nothing less (life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, injury for injury).

4Lev. 24:18 If someone kills another person’s animal, he must compensate for it with an animal of equal value.

5Deut. 25:11 If two men get into a fight and the wife of one of them steps in to protect her husband and strikes the other man below the waist, she will be held accountable for doing this.

6Ex. 22:7 If you give someone money or property for safekeeping and it is stolen from his house, the situation is handled this way: if the thief is found, he must repay twice what was stolen. If the thief is not found, the person who was keeping the property must come before the court and formally confirm that he did not take or use what belonged to someone else. If he is telling the truth, nothing is required from him.

7Ex. 22:10 If you leave your animal with someone for safekeeping and it dies, is injured, or disappears—and there are no witnesses and no way to prove what happened—the following procedure applies: the person who was keeping the animal must confirm before the court, with an oath before YHWH, that he did not harm the animal or take what belonged to someone else. The owner accepts his word, and no payment is required.

8Ex. 22:14 If you borrow someone’s animal or any other property for temporary use, and it is damaged or completely ruined while you are using it, and the owner is not there, you must compensate for the loss. But if the owner is there and is present while it is being used, you do not have to pay. If you rented it for payment, then the rental payment covers the risk, and no additional payment is required for damage or loss.

9Ex. 22:2 If a thief secretly breaks into a house at night, is caught in the act, and the owner, while defending himself and his home, takes the thief’s life, the owner is not guilty. But if this happens during the day, when it is possible to clearly see what is happening and there is no immediate threat, then the person who takes the thief’s life will be held accountable.

11Ex. 22:3 A person who steals must fully repay what was stolen. If he has no way to pay, he must repay the loss through his own work—he works off the debt, and his labor is temporarily placed at another person’s disposal until the amount of the loss has been covered.

12Ex. 22:1 If a person steals an animal and then kills or sells it, he must repay much more: for one large animal, five times its value; for one animal from the flock, four times its value.

2 Sam. 12:6 He must repay four times for that lamb—because he acted cruelly and showed no compassion!

Luke 19:8 Then Zacchaeus stood up and said to Yeshua: “I will give half of what I own to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone or caused someone a loss, I will repay it four times over.” Yeshua said to him: “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham (he is returning to the Covenant).”

13Ex. 22:4 If the stolen animal is found alive in the thief’s possession, he must return it to its owner and additionally pay an amount equal to its value. In other words, the total repayment is twice the value of the animal.

14Ex. 22:9 If two people argue over something—an animal, clothing, or any other item that is in one person’s possession—and each says, “It belongs to me,” the case must be brought to court. The court examines the situation and determines who is not telling the truth. The person found guilty must pay the other person twice the value of the item.

Matt. 5:25 Try to make peace with the person you are in conflict with while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may bring the case before the judge, the judge will make a decision, and you may be found guilty. Then you will have to pay everything you owe—down to the very last amount (according to the law, including the penalty).

15Lev. 6:2 If a person deliberately deceives his neighbor—denies that something was given to him for safekeeping or temporary use, keeps something he found, or confirms his lie with an oath—he is accountable for it before YHWH. If he later recognizes his guilt and admits what he has done, he must return everything in full—whatever he kept or took. In addition to returning it, he must add another one-fifth, twenty percent (20%), and give it to the owner on the day he admits his wrongdoing.

16Num. 5:6 If a man or woman acts dishonestly and in doing so sins against YHWH—causing someone a loss, taking what belongs to another person, or deceiving someone—they must admit their guilt. They must repay the loss in full, add another one-fifth—twenty percent—and give it to the person they wronged.

Prov. 28:13 Whoever hides his wrongdoing will not move forward or find a way out. But whoever honestly admits it and stops doing it will receive mercy.

17Ex. 21:28 If an animal suddenly gores a man or woman to death, the animal must be put to death, and its meat must not be used. In this case, the owner is not guilty. But if the animal was known to be dangerous before, the owner had been warned, and he still failed to take precautions or keep it under control, and it then killed someone, the animal must be put to death and the owner is held responsible for what happened—even to the point of the death penalty. If the parties agree on a payment instead of the death sentence, the owner must pay the required amount as a ransom for his life. The same rule applies if a child is killed—the responsibility remains the same.

18Ex. 21:35 If someone’s animal gores and kills a neighbor’s animal, the living animal must be sold and the money divided equally between them. The dead animal is also divided between the two parties. But if the animal was already known to be dangerous and its owner knew this but failed to take precautions, he must fully compensate for the loss by giving his neighbor an animal of equal value. The dead animal then belongs to the owner of the animal that caused the damage.

19Lev. 5:1 If a person is a witness—he saw or heard something that can establish the truth—and is called to testify but remains silent, he is guilty before YHWH because he knew the truth and did not speak.

20Deut. 22:8 If you build a new house, be sure to put a protective barrier around the edge of the roof. Then you will not be responsible if someone falls from it.

21Ex. 21:33 If a person opens a well or digs a pit and does not cover it, and another person’s animal falls into it, the person who left the pit open is responsible. He must fully compensate the owner for the value of the animal. The dead animal then belongs to the person responsible for the pit.

22Ex. 22:5 If a person allows his livestock onto someone else’s field or vineyard and damages the crop, he must compensate for the loss. The compensation is determined by the amount of damage. If the field is completely destroyed, he must compensate with the best from his own field and the best from his own vineyard.

23Ex. 22:6 If a person starts a fire and it gets out of control—spreading through dry grass and burning his neighbor’s bundles of grain, crops, or entire field—the person who allowed the fire to spread must compensate for the damage.

24Ex. 22:25 If you lend money to a poor person among My people, do not put pressure on him or charge him interest.

Matt. 18:23 The Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. When the accounting began, a servant was brought to him who owed an enormous amount. He could not pay, so the master ordered that he, his wife, his children, and all his property be sold to cover the debt.

25Deut. 23:19 If your brother is in need and you support him with a loan, do not charge him interest—whether on money, food, or anything else. You may charge interest to a foreigner. In this way, you will not profit from the need of your own people, and YHWH your Elohim will bless everything you do in the land you are entering to live in.

26Lev. 25:36 If your brother is in need, do not charge him interest or profit from his situation. Live seriously before YHWH, so that your brother can survive and continue living among you. Do not lend him money at interest or demand a profit even from food.

Ps. 15:5 Whoever does not profit from another person’s hardship or accept a bribe to condemn the innocent will stand firm and not lose his footing.

27Deut. 24:6 Do not take as collateral anything a person needs in order to work and provide for himself. Doing so would be like taking away his means of making a living.

28Deut. 24:10 If you lend something to a person and he must leave something as collateral, do not enter his house to choose the item yourself. Wait outside, and let him bring out what he is willing to leave.

29Deut. 24:12 If you lend to someone and he leaves his outer garment with you as collateral, do not keep it overnight. Return it to him before sunset. It is his only covering—what will he sleep in? If you do not return it and the poor person cries out to Me, I will intervene, because I am merciful.

30Deut. 24:17 (Ex. 22:26) Do not judge the foreigner or orphan unfairly. Do not take a widow’s clothing as collateral. Remember that you were a servant in Mitsrayim and YHWH brought you out from there—therefore, act justly.

31Lev. 19:13 Do not deceive or oppress anyone. If someone has worked for you for pay, give him what he earned on the same day you agreed to pay him—before sunset (do not hold his wages until morning).

32Deut. 24:14 Do not treat a hired worker unjustly, especially if he is poor—whether he is your brother or a foreigner living among you. Give him what he earned on the same day, before sunset. He depends on this money and is waiting for it in order to live. Do not cause him to cry out to YHWH because of your injustice—otherwise, you will be held responsible.

2Deut. 16:18 In every city YHWH your Elohim gives you, appoint judges and responsible leaders among your tribes. They must handle the cases of the people honestly and fairly.

Titus 1:5 I left you on the island of Crete so that you could put in order what was still unfinished and appoint responsible elders in every city, as I instructed you.

3Deut. 25:1 If a dispute arises between people, they are brought before the court. The judges examine the case: the one who is right is declared right, and the one who is guilty is declared guilty.

4Ex. 23:2 Do not follow the majority when they are doing wrong. In court, do not distort the truth just because the crowd thinks differently.

5Deut. 19:15 One witness is not enough to accuse a person in any case—whether of wrongdoing, a crime, or a violation. A case may be established only by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Matt. 18:16 If your brother does not listen to you, take one or two other trustworthy people from the community with you, so that the conversation takes place before two or three witnesses and every word can be confirmed.

1 Tim. 5:19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless there are two or three witnesses.

6Ex. 23:8 Do not accept a bribe. Money or gifts can blind a person, influence his decision, lead to an unjust judgment, and distort the truth.

7Deut. 16:19 Do not distort a court decision. Do not be influenced by a person’s position, and do not accept gifts. Gifts can blind even the wise and cause them to distort what is right.

8Lev. 19:15 Make a fair decision. Do not take the side of either a poor person or an influential person. When judging your neighbor’s case, be honest and impartial.

9Ex. 23:6 Do not distort the decision in the case of a poor person. His poverty is no reason either to accuse him without evidence or to clear him without grounds.

10Ex. 23:3 Do not rule in favor of a poor person in a court case simply because of his situation.

11Deut. 17:8 If a case is too difficult for the local court—a case involving loss of life, serious injury, or a major dispute—it must be taken to a higher court, to those appointed to handle such matters. They will examine the case and give the final decision. That decision must be followed exactly, without changing anything.

Acts 15:2 When a serious disagreement and dispute arose, it was decided to send Paul, Barnabas, and several others to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders so that they could examine the matter.

12Deut. 19:16 If someone brings an accusation against another person and it turns out that he gave false testimony, both must appear before the court. The judges must investigate the matter carefully. If the witness lied and intended to harm his brother through the accusation, he must receive what he intended to bring upon the other person. In this way, evil is removed from among the people. When others hear about it, they will be careful and will not do such a thing again.

13Num. 35:11 Choose cities where a person who has taken another person’s life without intent to kill can find refuge. He remains there until his case is heard in court, so that no one takes revenge on him before a judgment is made.

14Num. 35:13 Six cities are set apart as cities of refuge: three on one side of the Jordan and three in the land of Canaan. They are spread throughout the land so that they can be reached quickly from different places. These cities are for the children of Israel, for the foreigner, and for anyone living among you. Anyone who has taken a life without intent to kill may flee there until the case is heard in court.

15Deut. 19:4 This is when a person may find refuge and remain alive: if he took his neighbor’s life without intent and had not been his enemy before. For example, a man may go with his neighbor into the forest to cut wood, and while he is working, the iron head may fly off the axe and strike the other person, causing his death. The man may flee to one of the cities of refuge and be safe there.

16Num. 35:26 If a person whom the court has found to have taken a life without intent to kill goes outside the boundaries of the city of refuge, and a relative of the person who died finds him outside the city and takes his life, that relative will not be guilty. The person must remain within the boundaries of the city.

17Num. 35:28 A person whom the court has found to have taken a life without intent to kill must live in the city of refuge until the death of the high priest. This is the established period of restriction. After the high priest’s death, he may return to his own land. This rule applies throughout all generations.

18Num. 35:32 Do not accept payment to release a person living in a city of refuge and allow him to return home before the established time—before the death of the high priest.

19Deut. 19:11 But if a person was his neighbor’s enemy, waited for him, attacked him, and took his life, and then fled to a city of refuge, the elders of his city must bring him back from there and hand him over to the relative of the person who was killed so that the death sentence can be carried out. Do not show pity in such a case. In this way, the guilt for innocent blood is removed from Israel, and the life of the people will remain in order.

20Deut. 25:2 If the court finds a person guilty and determines that physical punishment is required, the judge decides the number of blows according to the seriousness of the violation and orders the punishment to be carried out.

21Deut. 25:3 Up to forty blows may be given, but no more. This limit must not be exceeded, so that the person is not humiliated before others.

2 Cor. 11:24 Five times I received the prescribed punishment—thirty-nine blows, one less than forty.

23Deut. 17:12 If a person refuses to obey the judge or priest who is serving YHWH your Elohim at that time, and in doing so rejects the decision that was given, that person is subject to the death penalty by the decision of the court. In this way, evil is removed from Israel. When the people hear about it, they will stop trying to destroy the established order.

Titus 3:1 Remind the people to respect the established order, to obey the authorities as guardians of the law, and to be ready to do good. They should not slander others or stir up arguments, but should behave peacefully and respectfully.

Rom. 13:1 Every person should live in obedience to authority that operates within the established order. Authority has its foundation in YHWH; existing authority is established by Him. Therefore, whoever resists such order resists the established system and brings judgment upon himself. Rulers are not meant to frighten those who do good, but to restrain evil. If you do what is right, you have nothing to fear. Authority serves YHWH when it punishes evil. But if you do evil, be afraid: it has the right to carry out punishment. Therefore, the established order should be respected not only because of fear of punishment, but also because of conscience. Pay taxes, because those who govern are occupied with this service.

1 Pet. 2:13 Live in obedience to human systems of order for YHWH’s sake—whether to a king or to rulers appointed to punish lawlessness and support what is right. This is YHWH’s will: by doing what is right, you take away the basis for accusations made by foolish people.

24Num. 35:31 Do not accept payment in exchange for the life of a murderer who has been found guilty by the court of intentionally taking another person’s life. Such a person is subject to the death penalty by the decision of the court.

25Ex. 21:14 If a person plans a murder in advance and carries it out deceitfully, he cannot use a sacred place or religious practice as protection from responsibility. Intentional murder is subject to the death penalty by the decision of the court.

26Deut. 24:16 Fathers must not be put to death for the crimes of their children, and children must not be put to death for the crimes of their fathers. Each person is responsible for his own crime and personally bears the punishment.

27Deut. 21:22 If a person commits a crime for which the court gives the death sentence, and the sentence is carried out, his body may be hung on a tree as a sign of the judgment that has been carried out. But the body must not remain there overnight—it must be buried that same day, so that the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you to live in is not defiled.

Josh. 8:29 Yeshua hung the king of the city of Ai on a tree as a sign of the judgment that had been carried out, until evening. When the sun went down, at his command the body was taken down from the tree, thrown near the city gate, and covered with a large pile of stones.

Josh. 10:26 Then Yeshua struck them and put them to death. Their bodies were hung on five trees as a sign of the judgment that had been carried out, and they remained there until evening. At sunset, Yeshua ordered the bodies to be taken down, thrown into the cave where they had been hiding, and the entrance closed with large stones, which remained there for a long time.

1 Pet. 2:24 “He Himself carried our sins in His body on the tree... by His wounds you were healed” (Isa. 53:5).

Gal. 3:13 “The Anointed One redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.’”

28Deut. 21:1 If a person is found murdered in the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you to live in, and no one knows who killed him, the elders and judges must determine which city is closest to the place of the crime. The elders of that city must take a young cow that has never been used for work and carry out the established act of cleansing—as compensation for the blood that was shed when the murderer is unknown and judgment against the guilty person is impossible.

1Deut. 17:14 When you enter the land YHWH your Elohim is giving you, take possession of it, and settle there, you may say, “I will establish a governing authority (a king) over us, like the nations around us.” Then appoint the king whom YHWH your Elohim chooses.

2Deut. 17:15 Appoint over yourself a governing authority (a king) from among your own brothers. Do not appoint a foreigner who is not your brother to govern over you.

3Deut. 17:16 But this king must not multiply horses for himself—building up military power and royal wealth—or send the people back to Mitsrayim to obtain even more horses and chariots, because YHWH has told you: “You must not return that way again.”

4Deut. 17:17 The king must not multiply wives for himself, so that his heart does not turn away, and he must not accumulate excessive amounts of silver and gold.

1 Tim. 3:2 An overseer (a person responsible for the community) must live in such a way that people have no reason to accuse him. He must be the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, and able to teach. He must not misuse wine, be aggressive, or get into fights, but must be gentle, peaceful, and not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, so that his children live with respect and order. After all, if a person does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the community?

1 Tim. 3:12 A deacon must be the husband of one wife and manage his children and his household well.

Titus 1:5 I left you in Crete so that you could complete what had not yet been put in order and appoint elders in every city, as I instructed you: a man must be blameless, the husband of one wife, with children who live properly and are not accused of wild living or disobedience.

5Deut. 17:18 When the king sits on the throne of his kingdom, he must make his own copy of YHWH’s Law from the book kept by the Levites. He must keep this copy with him and read it throughout his life, so that he learns to live with an awareness of the holiness of YHWH his Elohim and carefully obey all the words of YHWH’s Law and these regulations. Then his heart will not rise above his brothers, and he will not turn away from YHWH’s Law either to the right or to the left. In this way, he and his sons may continue to govern among Israel for a long time.

6Ex. 30:12 Count the people of Israel so that you know how many there are. When you take a census of the children of Israel, each person must give YHWH a payment for his life when he is counted, so that no disaster comes upon them during the census.

Luke 2:1 In those days, Caesar Augustus issued an order to take a census throughout the land. This was the first census during the time when Quirinius governed Syria. Everyone went to register, each to his own city. Joseph also went from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David—Bethlehem—because he was from the house and family line of David. He went to register together with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was pregnant.

Acts 5:37 After him, during the time of the census, Judas the Galilean appeared. He drew many people after him, but he was killed, and all those who followed him were scattered.

Luke 12:6 Are not five small birds sold for two assaria? Yet not one of them is forgotten by YHWH. Even the hairs on your head are all counted. So do not be afraid—you are worth more than many small birds.

7Ex. 30:13 Everyone who is counted in the census must give half a shekel according to the sanctuary weight (approximately 5–6 g of silver, about 0.18 oz). This is an offering to YHWH.

8Ex. 30:14 Every man who is counted in the census and is twenty years old or older must give an offering to YHWH.

9Ex. 30:15 The rich must not give more, and the poor must not give less than half a shekel (approximately 5–6 g of silver, about 0.18 oz). Everyone gives the same offering to YHWH.

Eph. 6:9 YHWH is in heaven over both you and them, and He shows no favoritism.

Acts 10:34 Then Peter said: Now I clearly understand that YHWH shows no favoritism. In every nation, He accepts the person who lives with an awareness of His holiness and does what is right.

Col. 3:25 Anyone who does wrong will receive according to what he has done. YHWH shows no favoritism.

Rom. 2:11 YHWH shows no favoritism.

10Ex. 30:16 Take this silver from the children of Israel and use it for the Tent of Meeting (for the service). It will serve as a reminder before YHWH concerning His people.

12Deut. 23:1 A man who has lost the ability to continue his family line because of severe damage to his reproductive organs cannot enter the genealogical community of the tribes of Israel.

Isa. 56:3 Let the foreigner who has joined himself to YHWH not say, “YHWH has separated me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “I am a dry tree” (a person without descendants). For this is what YHWH says: To the eunuchs who keep My Shabbats, choose what pleases Me, and hold firmly to My Covenant, I will give a place and a name in My house and among My people that will be remembered—better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not disappear, even though they have no descendants.

13Deut. 23:2 A person born outside an established family union cannot enter the genealogical community of the tribes of Israel; neither can his descendants.

14Deut. 23:3 An Ammonite or Moabite man cannot enter the genealogical community of the tribes of Israel; their descendants also cannot enter it throughout their generations. This was established because they did not come to meet you with bread and water when you were coming out of Mitsrayim, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Mesopotamia to curse you.

Neh. 13:1 On that day, the Book of Moses (Scripture) was read to the people, and they found it written that an Ammonite or Moabite could not enter the community of YHWH, because they had not come to meet Israel with bread and water when the people were coming out of Mitsrayim, and because the king of Moab had hired Balaam to pronounce a curse against Israel. But YHWH turned the curse into a blessing.

15Deut. 23:9 Children born to Edomites and people from Mitsrayim may enter the community of YHWH only in the third generation.

Isa. 56:6 And the sons of foreigners who join themselves to YHWH, to serve Him and to love the name of YHWH—all who keep the Shabbat and hold firmly to My Covenant—I will bring to My holy mountain and give them joy in My house of prayer (the house of worship of YHWH)... for My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.

1Ex. 20:12 Treat your father and mother with respect and take them seriously. Do not neglect them—through them I gave you life and placed them in your life to guide you in My way, so that your life may be strong in the land I am giving you.

Prov. 28:24 Whoever takes what belongs to his father or mother and uses them for his own benefit, saying, “There is nothing wrong with this,” is no different from a robber.

Eph. 6:1 Children, obey your parents while remaining faithful to Yeshua—this is right. “Treat your father and mother with respect and take them seriously”—this is the first commandment with a promise: so that things may go well for you and your life may be strong in the land.

Col. 3:20 Children, obey your parents in everything while remaining faithful to Yeshua—this is right before YHWH.

1 Tim. 5:8 If a person does not care for his own, especially his family, he has rejected his faithfulness to YHWH—and is worse than someone who does not know Him.

Matt. 15:5 But you teach that if a person says to his parents, “I should have used this money to help you, but I promised it to YHWH,” he is released from his responsibility to care for them. In this way, you cancel His true commandment by your own rules!

2Lev. 20:9 Do not humiliate your father or mother with your words. Do not curse them or make them an object of ridicule—either to their face or in front of others.

3Lev. 19:3 Treat your mother and father with respect and take them seriously.

Prov. 1:8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not reject your mother’s teaching—it will add honor to your life and give you dignity.

Prov. 23:22 Listen to your father—he gave you life. And do not neglect your mother when she becomes weaker with age.

4Ex. 21:15 Anyone who strikes his father or mother is subject to the death penalty.

Matt. 15:4 YHWH commanded: “Treat your father and mother with respect and take them seriously.” And also: “Anyone who humiliates or curses his father or mother is subject to the death penalty.”

6Gen. 2:24 Therefore, a man will leave his father and mother, join himself to his wife, take responsibility for her, and become one with her.

7Ex. 22:16 If a man and a young woman who is not engaged have sexual relations before they are engaged, he must pay the required bride-price and take responsibility for her as his wife. If the young woman’s father refuses to give her to him, the man must still pay the required amount.

8Deut. 22:25 If a man meets a young woman who is engaged in the field, seizes her, and rapes her, the established penalty is death for the man. Do nothing to the young woman—she is not guilty of anything deserving death. This is the same as attacking someone and killing that person. He found her in the field; she may have cried out, but there was no one there to come to her help.

9Deut. 22:28 If a man meets a young woman who is not engaged and takes her and has sexual relations with her, and they are discovered, he must pay her father fifty shekels of silver (about 575 g or 20.3 oz). He must take her as his wife because he took her virginity, and he loses the right to divorce her for the rest of his life.

Prov. 4:1 Listen, children, to a father’s instruction and try to understand, so that you may become wise. I have passed on to you the Word of YHWH—do not abandon my commandments. I too was a son to my father—a beloved child to my mother. He taught me and said: let your heart hold on to my words. Keep my commandments—and you will live.

Prov. 13:24 Whoever spares the rod from his son does not love him. But whoever loves him disciplines him from childhood.

Prov. 19:18 Discipline your son while there is still hope, but do not go as far as cruelty.

Prov. 23:13 Do not leave a young person without discipline. If you discipline him with the rod, he will not die.

Prov. 23:14 You will discipline the young person with the rod and save his life from destruction.

Prov. 22:15 Foolishness becomes attached to the heart of a young person, but the rod of discipline will drive it away from him.

Prov. 29:15 The rod and correction make a person wise, but a child without discipline brings shame to his mother.

Prov. 29:17 Teach and discipline your son, and he will give you peace and bring joy to your heart.

Ps. 71:17 O Most High, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I tell others about Your works.

Eph. 6:4 Fathers, do not drive your children to bitterness, but raise them with discipline and instruction according to YHWH’s commandments.

Heb. 12:6 YHWH disciplines those He loves and firmly corrects everyone He receives as a son. If you endure correction, YHWH is treating you as His children. What son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are left without the correction that everyone receives, then you are not being treated as children of the family, but as outsiders.

11Deut. 21:18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who refuses to listen to either his father or his mother and remains disobedient even after being disciplined, his father and mother must bring him to the elders of the city, to the city gate—the place of judgment—and say: “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He refuses to listen to us, lives a reckless life, and drinks.”

12Deut. 6:20 If, later on, your son asks you, “What do these rules and laws that YHWH your Elohim gave you mean?” tell him: “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Mitsrayim. YHWH stepped in and brought us out of there. We saw for ourselves how He broke the power of Mitsrayim: the water turned to blood, disasters struck the land, livestock died, there was darkness, and Pharaoh could do nothing to stop it.

13Ex. 12:24 Keep this as an established order for yourselves and your children throughout all generations. When you enter the land YHWH gives you, as He promised, continue to observe this service—the Passover. And when your children ask, “What does this mean?” tell them: “This is YHWH’s Passover. That night He struck Mitsrayim, but He did not touch our homes. He protected us and saved us from destruction.”

14Deut. 24:1 If a man takes a woman as his wife and begins living with her, but later discovers in her some shameful sexual indecency, he must put the divorce in writing and send her away from his house. After that, she is free and may marry another man. If the second husband also gives her a certificate of divorce or dies, the first husband no longer has the right to take her back as his wife, because he himself ended that union. This is unacceptable before YHWH. Do not act in a way that will cause you to reap the consequences of your actions in the land.

Matt. 1:19 Joseph, her future husband, was a man faithful to YHWH’s Law. He did not want to expose her to public shame, so he decided to quietly end the engagement and give her a certificate of divorce.

Matt. 5:31 It was said: “Whoever sends his wife away must give her a certificate of divorce.” And I tell you: if a man sends his wife away without a reason recognized by the Law—a shameful sexual violation—he puts her in a situation that leads to adultery. And whoever marries a woman who was sent away in this way commits adultery.

15Deut. 22:13 If a man takes a young woman as his wife, has sexual relations with her, and then turns against her and begins making accusations, saying, “I took this woman, was with her, and did not find evidence of her virginity,” then the young woman’s father and mother must present evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city. The case is examined at the city gate and decided by the court. If the accusation is found to be false, the elders punish the man, fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give the money to the young woman’s father because the man brought a false accusation against a young woman of Israel. She remains his wife, and he loses the right to divorce her for the rest of his life. But if the accusation is confirmed and it is found that the young woman had sexual relations before entering the family union while still living in her father’s house, she is brought to the door of her father’s house, and by the decision of the court the death sentence is carried out by stoning. The reason is deliberate deception when entering the family union and violation of the order established by YHWH. In this way, evil is removed from among the people

16Deut. 7:3 Do not form family unions with the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, or Jebusites: do not give your daughter to their son, and do not take their daughter as a wife for your son—do not give your own to them or bring theirs into your family through marriage. Even if their daughter is a virgin, taking her as a wife is forbidden. For they will turn your sons away from YHWH and lead them to serve other gods. Then YHWH’s anger will be kindled, and the consequences for the people will be severe.

2 Cor. 6:14 Do not join your life with those who do not live by YHWH’s commandments. You cannot build one life with someone who lives against His Law. What does righteousness have in common with lawlessness? What does light have in common with darkness? What agreement is there between Yeshua the Anointed One and Belial? What does a faithful person have in common with one who is unfaithful?

17Deut. 21:10 When you go to war against your enemies and YHWH your Elohim gives them into your hands, and among the captives you see a woman you are attracted to and want to take as your wife, she must shave the hair from her head, take care of her nails, remove the clothing she wore as a captive, and live in your house for one month while mourning her father and mother. Only after that may you take her as your wife and live with her as your wife. But if you no longer want to take her as your wife, you must let her go free and have no right to sell her or turn her into property.

18Lev. 18:18 Do not take your wife’s sister as another wife while your wife is still alive, making her a rival to your wife.

19Deut. 25:5 If several brothers belong to the same family and one of them dies without leaving a son, the dead man’s wife must not marry outside that household, because a firstborn son born in another union would not be able to continue the name of the man who died. The dead man’s brother must take her as his wife in order to restore his brother’s name in Israel, and the firstborn son she bears will be considered the continuation of the dead man’s name, so that his name does not disappear from the family line. If the brother does not want to take her as his wife, the woman may go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother does not want to restore his brother’s name in Israel.” The elders will speak with him. If he still refuses, the woman may make a public sign of his refusal before the elders: she will remove the sandal from his foot and say, “This is what is done to a man who does not want to restore his brother’s household.” This will become a sign that he refused to continue his brother’s family line.

20Num. 27:8 If a man dies without leaving a son, his land passes to his daughter. If he has no daughter, the land passes to his brothers. If he has no brothers, it goes to his father’s brothers. If there are none, the land passes to the closest relative from his family line, so that it remains within the family.

21Deut. 21:15 If a man has two wives—one he loves more and the other less—and both have given him sons, and the firstborn is the son of the wife he loves less, then when he divides his property, he has no right to take away that son’s firstborn status because of his personal feelings. He cannot give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves more if that son was born later. He must recognize the son of the first wife as the firstborn and give him a double share of everything he owns. He is the first son, and the right of the firstborn belongs to him.

22Num. 30:4 If a young woman living in her father’s house makes a promise to YHWH and takes an obligation upon herself, and her father hears about it and says nothing, her promise remains in effect. But if her father hears about it and does not allow it, her obligation will not remain in effect, and YHWH will release her from it because her father stopped it.

23Num. 30:11 If a woman, while living in her husband’s household, makes a promise to YHWH or binds herself by an oath, and her husband hears about it and does not object, her promise remains in effect. But if her husband hears about it and cancels it, her oath does not remain in effect. Her husband cancels her obligation, and YHWH releases her from responsibility.

1 Cor. 14:34 In the community gathering, wives should remain quiet. They are not permitted to speak before the whole community, but should respect the established order of the family, as YHWH’s Law teaches. If they want to learn something or ask for clarification, they should ask their husbands at home, so that peace and order are maintained in the community.

24Num. 30:10 If a widow or divorced woman makes a promise to YHWH and takes an obligation upon herself, her decision remains in effect.

25Num. 30:14 Any promise or oath by which a woman has bound herself may be confirmed or canceled by her husband. If he hears about it and remains silent day after day, his silence is considered agreement and confirms her obligation. But if he cancels it after he has heard about it, then he himself bears responsibility for it.

1 Cor. 11:3 I want you to understand the established order: the head of every man is Yeshua the Anointed One, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of the Anointed One is YHWH.

1 Cor. 11:5 If a woman prays or speaks a prophecy with her head uncovered, she dishonors her head.

26Num. 5:12 When adultery is suspected within a family, but there are no witnesses and no evidence, the matter is not settled by force. The husband has no right to accuse and punish his wife on his own. The matter is brought before YHWH through the established procedure.The husband brings his wife to the priest and brings a special offering. This is an offering of jealousy—a sign that the matter has been handed over for examination. It is called a reminder offering because it brings the question of possible guilt before YHWH, so that what is hidden may be revealed.The priest explains the conditions to the woman: if she has not broken the family union or had sexual relations with another man, the water will not harm her. But if adultery has taken place, the consequences will appear. The woman agrees to go through this examination.The priest writes down the words of the possible judgment and combines them with the water of testing—the water of possible bitterness. The woman holds the offering of jealousy as a sign that the matter has been handed over. The priest receives it, brings it to the altar, and separates a portion as a reminder of the case being examined.Then the woman drinks the water. If she knowingly broke the family union and concealed it, the water will become bitter for her. The consequences will appear in her body: her abdomen will swell, and she will lose the ability to have children. Her fate will become a bitter example among the people. But if there was no adultery and she is innocent, the water will not harm her. She will remain unharmed and will be able to have children. This is the law concerning jealousy. When suspicion arises, the matter is submitted to the established examination before YHWH. The husband who follows this procedure remains free from guilt. He is not held responsible simply for having the suspicion or for bringing the matter forward to be examined. But if adultery did take place, the woman bears responsibility for her violation.

Mark 4:22 What is hidden will come out into the open. Secrets do not remain hidden forever.

She must not touch anything holy or enter the sanctuary until these days are completed.”

The priest declares him unclean because the condition is on his head.

8Lev. 13:29 If a man or woman develops a condition on the head or in the beard, that person is brought to a priest for examination. He examines it: if the affected area appears deeper than the skin and the hair in it becomes yellowish and thin, the person is declared unclean—it is a condition of the head or beard.But if the affected area does not appear deeper than the skin and there is no dark hair in it, the person is isolated for seven days. On the seventh day, the person is examined again. If the condition has not spread, there is no yellowish hair, and it does not appear deeper than the skin, the person’s hair is cut, but the affected area itself is left untouched, and the person is isolated for another seven days.After the second examination, if the condition has not spread and does not appear deeper than the skin, the person is declared clean—he must wash his clothes, and he is clean. But if the condition begins to spread after that, the priest declares the person unclean. If the condition remains unchanged and dark hair begins to grow in it, this means that it has healed—the person is clean.

11Lev. 13:45 If, after examination, a person is declared unclean because of a contagious skin disease, he must cover his mouth and nose and warn those around him: “I am unclean.” As long as the disease remains on him, he is considered unclean and must live separately, isolated from the others, so that he does not put them at risk.

12Lev. 14:2 This is the law for cleansing a person from such a condition. The person is brought to the priest, and the priest goes out to him outside the camp*. If the person has been healed, a cleansing sacrifice is offered, after which the priest declares him clean. Then the person washes his clothes**, shaves his hair, and washes himself with water. After this, he may return to the camp, but for another seven days he does not return to his normal life (he remains separate) ***. On the seventh day, he again shaves all his hair, washes his clothes, and washes himself with water—after this, the cleansing is considered complete.

Mark 1:40 (Matt. 8:2) A man with this disease came to Yeshua, fell on his knees before Him, and said, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” Yeshua had compassion on him, reached out His hand, touched him, and said, “I am willing. Be clean.” The disease immediately left him, and he became clean. Yeshua then sent him away and firmly told him: “Do not tell anyone about this yet. First go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the cleansing sacrifice that YHWH commanded through Moses. This will be a testimony to them.”
