READINGS FOR OMER COUNT – DAY 17
Behold, I am about to fulfill the affirmative precept of the counting of the Omer, as it is written in the Torah:
“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Shabbath, from the day that ye brought the Omer of the wave-offering, seven complete weeks they shall be; until the morrow of the seventh Shabbath shall ye number fifty days.”
Blessed art Thou YHWH, our Elohym, King of the universe, who hast set us apart by Thy commandments and hast given us command concerning the counting of the Omer.
This is the seventeenth day, making two weeks and three days of the Omer.
May the All Merciful restore the service of the Temple to its place. May it be Thy will, YHWH our Elohym and Elohym of our fathers, that the Temple be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant our portion in Thy Torah. And there we will serve Thee with awe, as in the days of old and as in ancient years.
May Elohym be favorable unto us and bless us. That Thy way may be known upon the earth, Thy salvation among all nations. Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, Elohym; let all the peoples give thanks unto Thee. Let the nations rejoice and exult: for Thou wilt judge the peoples with equity and lead the nations upon the earth. Let the peoples give thanks unto Thee, Elohym; let all the peoples give thanks unto Thee. The earth hath yielded her increase: Elohym, even our Elohym, shall bless us. Elohym shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him.

Rule me rightly, O Elohim, And plead my cause against a nation without mercy. Oh, deliver me from a man of deceit and unrighteousness!
For You are the Elohim of my strength. Why have You rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Send forth Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me, Let them bring me to Your set-apart mountain And to Your dwelling places.
That I might come to the slaughter-place of Elohim, To Ěl, the joy of my delight, And praise You with the lyre, O Elohim, my Elohim.
Why are you depressed, O my being? And why are you restless within me? Wait for Elohim: for I shall yet thank Him, the deliverance of my face, And my Elohim.
READINGS: TEHILLAH 44
O Elohim, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have related to us, The work You did in their days, In the days of old.
You drove out the nations with Your hand, But them You planted. You afflicted peoples, and sent them out.
For not by their own sword did they possess the land, Neither did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand and Your arm, And the light of Your face, Because You delighted in them.
You Yourself are my King, O Elohim; Command deliverances for Ya‛aqoḇ.
Through You we push our enemies; Through Your Name we tread down those who rise up against us.
For I do not trust in my bow, And my sword does not save me.
For You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us.
In Elohim we shall boast all day long, And praise Your Name forever. Selah.
Yet You have rejected us and put us to shame, And You do not go with our armies.
You make us turn back from the adversary, And those who hate us have plundered us.
You do give us as sheep to be eaten, And You have scattered us among the nations.
You sell Your people for no value, And have set no high price on them.
You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a mockery to those round about us.
You make us a proverb among the nations, A shaking of the head among the peoples.
My reproach is always before me, And the shame of my face has covered me, Because of the voice of the slanderer and blasphemer, Because of the enemy and avenger.
All this has come upon us; But we have not forgotten You, Neither have we been false to Your covenant.
Our heart has not turned back, Neither has our step swerved from Your way, Yet You have crushed us in the place of jackals, And covered us with the shadow of death.
If we have forgotten the Name of our Elohim, Or stretched out our hands to a foreign mighty one, Would Elohim not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
But for Your sake we are killed all day long; Reckoned as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake! Why do You sleep, O YHWH? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
Why do You hide Your face, Ignoring our affliction and our oppression?
For our being is bowed down to the dust; Our body cleaves to the earth.
Arise, be our help, And redeem us for Your mercy’ sake.
READINGS: TEHILLAH 45
My heart is overflowing with an excellent word; I address my works to the King; My tongue is the pen of a speedy writer.
You are more handsome than the sons of men; Favor has been poured upon Your lips; Therefore Elohim has blessed You forever.
Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, Your excellency and Your splendor.
And ride prosperously in Your splendor, On the matter of truth and humility, righteousness; And let Your right hand lead You to awesome matters.
Your arrows are sharp In the heart of the King’s enemies – Peoples fall under You.
Your throne, O Elohim, is forever and ever; The sceptre of Your kingdom Is a sceptre of straightness.
You have loved righteousness and hated wrongness; Therefore Elohim, Your Elohim, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
All Your garments are myrrh and aloes, cassia; Out of the palaces of ivory, Stringed instruments have made You glad.
Daughters of kings are among Your precious ones; At Your right hand stands the kingess in gold from Ophir.
Listen, O daughter, and see, And incline your ear, And forget your own people and your father’s house; And let the King delight in your loveliness; Because He is your Master – bow yourself to Him.
And the daughter of Tsor with a gift, The rich among the people seek your favor.
The daughter of the King Is all esteemed within the palace; Her dress is embroidered with gold.
She is brought to the King in embroidered work; Maidens, her companions following her, Are brought to You.
They are brought with gladness and rejoicing; They enter the King’s palace.
Instead of Your fathers are Your sons, Whom You appoint princes in all the earth.
I cause Your Name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people praise You forever and ever.
READINGS: TEHILLAH 46
Elohim is our refuge and strength, A help in distress, soon found.
Therefore we do not fear, Though the earth reels And mountains topple into the heart of the seas.
Let its waters rage, foam; Let mountains shake with its swelling. Selah.
A river whose streams Make glad the city of Elohim, The set-apart dwelling of the Most High.
Elohim is in her midst, she does not topple; Elohim does help her when morning turns.
The nations shall rage, Kingdoms shall topple; He shall give forth His voice, The earth melts.
YHWH of hosts is with us; The Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ is our refuge. Selah.
Come, see the works of YHWH, The ruins He has wrought on the earth, Causing all fighting to cease, Unto the end of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the chariot with fire.
Be still, and know that I am Elohim; I am exalted among nations, I am exalted in the earth!
YHWH of hosts is with us; The Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ is our refuge. Selah.
READINGS: MISHLE 13:1-12
A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, But a scoffer shall not listen to rebuke.
From the fruit of the mouth a man eats the excellent, But the desire of the treacherous is for violence.
He who watches over his mouth guards his being, But he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
The being of the lazy one craves, but has not; While the being of the hard workers are enriched.
A righteous one hates a lying word, But a wrong man is loathsome and comes to shame.
Righteousness watches over him who is perfect in the way, But wrongness overthrows the sinner.
There is one who makes himself rich, Yet has none at all. And one who makes himself poor, Yet has great riches.
The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, But the poor does not hear rebuke.
The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wrong is put out.
By pride comes only strife, But wisdom is with those who take advice.
Wealth from vanity diminishes, But he who gathers by hand increases.
Expectancy drawn out makes the heart sick, But a longing come true is a tree of life.
READINGS: AVOTH 3:1-2
All Yisrael have a portion in the world to come; as it is said, all thy people shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be esteemed.
Akav’ya ben Mahalal’el said, reflect upon three things, and thou wilt not come within the power of sin: know whence thou camest, whither thou art going; and before Whom thou wilt in future have to give account and reckoning. Whence thou camest; from a putrid drop; whither thou art going; to a place of dust, worms and maggots; and before Whom thou wilt in future have to give account and reckoning-before the Supreme King of kings, Haqadosh, blessed be He.
Rabbi Chanina S’gan Hakohanym said, pray for the welfare of the government, since but for the fear thereof men would swallow each other alive.
[Exodus 20:18-20] All the people perceived the thunderings, the lightnings, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it, they trembled, and stayed at a distance. They said to Moses, “Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but don’t let God speak with us, lest we die.” Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won’t sin.”
[Deuteronomy 30:15-16] Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil. For I command you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it
[Romans 6:23] For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[Romans 7:7] What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
[Romans 7:12] Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
[1 John 3:4] Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
[Matthew 7:23] Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Was the advent of farming due to some judgment rolling through from YHVH? https://thekingdomnetwork.us/2....025/04/30/ancient-fa
The life-force of every creature belongs to God. Misappropriating it is a direct sin against God. The earth is the source of all nephesh (life-force/living flesh). When a creature dies, its nephesh must be returned to the earth. When you slaughter an animal for food, you must drain the blood and let it return to the earth from whence it ultimately came.
Consider this interesting, related idea: When Moses poured the water of the Nile on the ground and God turned it to blood, he was predicting the death of Egypt. It was a picture of returning Egypt's nephesh to the earth.

#leviticus 17
Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood.
#leviticus 17:12 #achareimot
Leviticus 17:10-14 says that none of God's people are allowed to eat blood. Does that mean we can't eat a rare steak?
No, it doesn't. Let me explain...

I waited, waited for YHWH; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction, Out of the muddy clay, And He set my feet upon a rock, He is establishing my steps.
Then He put a new song in my mouth; Praise to our Elohim; Many do see it and fear, And trust in YHWH.
Blessed is that man who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to falsehood.
O YHWH my Elohim, many are the wonders Which You have done, and Your purposes toward us; There is no one to compare with You; I declare and speak: They are too many to be numbered.
Sacrifice and meal offering You did not desire; You have opened my ears; Ascending offering and sin offering You did not ask for.
Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me.
I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim, And Your Torah is within my heart.”
I have proclaimed the excellent news of righteousness, In the great assembly; See, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You know.
I did not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your trustworthiness and Your deliverance; I did not hide Your mercy and Your truth From the great assembly.
Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O YHWH; Let Your mercy and Your truth always watch over me.
For evils without number have surrounded me; My crookednesses have overtaken me, And I have been unable to see; They became more than the hairs of my head; And my heart has failed me.
Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me; O YHWH, hasten to help me!
Let those who seek to destroy my life Be ashamed and abashed altogether; Let those who are desiring my evil Be driven back and put to shame.
Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” Be appalled at their own shame.
Let all those who seek You Rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your deliverance always say, “YHWH be exalted!”
But I am poor and needy; Let YHWH think upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my Elohim, do not delay!
READINGS: TEHILLAH 41
Blessed is he who considers the poor; YHWH does deliver him in a day of evil.
YHWH does guard him and keep him alive; He is blessed on the earth, And You do not hand him over To the desire of his enemies.
YHWH sustains him on his sickbed; In his weakness on his bed You bring a change.
As for me, I said, “O YHWH, show me favor; Heal me, for I have sinned against You.”
My enemies speak evil of me, “When he dies his name shall perish.”
And when one comes to visit, he speaks falsely; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; He goes out, he speaks of it.
All who hate me whisper together against me; They plot evil to me, saying, “A matter of Beliya‛al is poured out on him, That when he lies down, he would not rise again.”
Even my own friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.
But You, YHWH, show me favor and raise me up, And let me repay them.
By this I know that You did delight in me, Because my enemy does not shout for joy over me.
And I, You uphold me in my integrity, And set me before Your face forever.
Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Yisra’ěl From everlasting to everlasting! Aměn and Aměn.
READINGS: TEHILLAH 42
As a deer longs for the water streams, So my being longs for You, O Elohim.
My being thirsts for Elohim, for the living Ěl. When shall I enter in to appear before Elohim?
My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day, “Where is your Elohim?”
These I remember, and pour out my being within me. For I used to pass along with the throng; I went with them to the House of Elohim, With the voice of joy and praise, A multitude celebrating a festival!
Why are you depressed, O my being? And why are you restless within me? Wait for Elohim: for I shall yet thank Him, For the deliverance of His face!
O my Elohim, my being is depressed within me; Therefore I remember You from the land of the Yarděn, And from the heights of Ḥermon, From Mount Mits‛ar.
Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and breakers passed over me.
By day YHWH commands His mercy, And by night His song is with me; A prayer to the Ěl of my life.
I say to Ěl my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
With murder in my bones, My enemies have reproached me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your Elohim?”
Why are you depressed, O my being? And why are you restless within me? Wait for Elohim: for I shall yet thank Him, the deliverance of my face, And my Elohim.
READINGS: MISHLE 12:15-28
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who listens to advice is wise.
A fool’s wrath is known at once, But a clever one covers shame.
He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.
Rash speaking is like piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is healing.
The lip of truth is established forever, But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, But counsellors of peace have joy.
No harm befalls the righteous, But the wrong shall be filled with evil.
Lying lips are an abomination to YHWH, But those who deal truly are His delight.
A clever man is concealing knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims folly.
The hand of the hard worker rules, But the lazy is put to compulsory labor.
Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But an excellent word makes him glad.
The righteous is a guide to his neighbor, But the way of the wrong leads them astray.
The lazy one has no game to roast, But the hard worker prizes his possessions.
In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.
READINGS: AVOTH 2:20-21
Rabbi Tar’fon said, the day is short, and the work is great, and the laborers are sluggish, and the reward is much, and the Master is urgent.
He used also to say, it is not thy duty to complete the work, but neither art thou free to desist from it; if thou hast studied much Torah, much reward will be given thee, for faithful is thy Employer to pay thee the reward of thy labor; and know that the grant of reward unto the righteous will be in the time to come.
Rabbi Chanan’ya ben Aqash’ya said, Haqadosh, blessed be He, was pleased to make Yisrael worthy; wherefore He gave them a copious Torah and many commandments; as it is said, it pleased YHWH for His righteousness’ sake to magnify the Torah and make it honorable.
