Check out the new Torah Portion reading for this week.
Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they encamped there by the water.
#exodus 15:27 #bshalach
12 wells watering 70 trees. I think these are a metaphor of Israel generally and the twelve Apostles specifically (12) bringing #torah and God's Spirit to the nations (70) or else the of the 70 elders of Israel springing up from the twelve tribes. Maybe both.
Another thought: In Numbers 11, Moses calls the 70 elders to him at the Tent. Sixty-eight go to him and prophesy there. Two, Eldad and Medad, remain in the camp and prophesy there instead. This reminds me of the 70 disciples that Yeshua sent out in pairs (like Eldad and Medad) to preach the Gospel in all of the Jewish towns (the camp).
Reading the "et Cepher" Bible is like eating fecal swirl ice cream. If that's what you're into, ok, but keep it to yourself. You'd be better off with almost any other translation, including the NIV.

#biblepatterns #bshalach
In Matthew 9:5, Yeshua says it's easier to say "Your sins are forgiven" than to say "Rise and walk". Anyone can say "You're forgiven" because evidence is elusive. However, the public, physical healing of someone that everyone knows has been a paralytic for many years is impossible to fake or deny.
(Unlike the anonymous faith healings of prosperity Gospel preachers on TV and the Internet. Those are trivially easy to fake.)
