When Dr. Nehemia Gordon explains that Yisra’ĕl wants to keep sinning, you can easily insert Christians want to keep sinning. I shared this study back in 2022. It's one of my favorites studies.
In this brand-new episode #29 of Hebrew Gospel Pearls, Amazing Grace, Nehemia and Keith explain the meaning of the Hebrew word “korban”, recount the time Nehemia “evangelized” Keith, and reveal the testimonies of God’s mercy and the power of true repentance in TaNaKh. 📖 🎯
Korban means sacrifice. Presenting something, bringing it close to G-d. That's a sacrifice.
Thanksgiving offering and Attonement sacrifice.
Numbers 15:22 unintentional sin.
Numbers 15:25-27.
Numbers 15:30-31.
Deuteronomy 4:25-31.
Shuv, turn back, return, repent.
Teshuvah (תְּשׁוּבָה), repentance.
Exodus 34:6.
Jeremiah 7:25, 26.
Ezekiel 18:21, 22.
1 Sam 15:22.
Genesis 4:7.
Overcome your desire to sin, your desire to gossip, your desire to be jealous, your desire to covet.
Acts 21:15-26 Sha’ul.
Quf, Resh, Beit קרב qarab - to be near, close.
Qorban קָרְבָּן, qorbān - to sacrifice.
Presenting something, bringing it close to G-d. That's a sacrifice.
Just a thought tonight
Yeshua said: "Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. (Matthew 5) And this made me think:
A lamp without oil will not burn. Oil without a lamp spill everywhere. The same is true with our faith: Trying to follow the Word of YHVH without Ruach haKodesh is like a lamp without oil. Trying to follow the Ruach without following the Word of YHVH, is like having the oil without the lamp. Neither one can burn brightly.

Now when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
Acts 8:25 ESV
Peter and John had apparently accepted the Samaritans as Israelites since they were willing to preach the gospel to them before God had revealed to Peter that believing gentiles were made acceptable by God because of their faith.
Exodus 4:16 So he [Aharon] will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as elohim, 'god.'
v17 You shall take this staff in your hand, with which you shall do the signs."
It is not a Torah violation when YeHoVaH sends His Prophet to speak on His behalf
(Deut 18:15-18 Yeshua was thee Prophet; Philippians 2:5-13; Yohanan 10:34-39 Scripture cannot be broken; Psalm 82:6).
The word Elohim itself conveys a sense of power, majesty, and authority (usage Gen 1:1).
Yeshua was crucified for blasphemy, for saying he was the Son of Elohim (YeHoVaH the Father) (John 12:28-30; 19:7, 19:21, 9:35,37), which is not a violation of Torah.
Jeremiah 3:19 “But I said, ‘How would I put you among the children and give you a pleasant land, a splendid inheritance of the hosts of the nations?’ “And I said, ‘Call Me, “My Father,” and do not turn away from Me.’
It is not a torah violation to call the Prophet elohim whom YeHoVaH has sent.
It is a Torah violation to say that YeHoVaH was killed by human hands, that is blasphemy.
Exo 19 - Time, Torah, Tetragrammaton Exodus 20.
Everyone in context is giving their testimonies that Yeshua the Nazarene is the Son was crucified, his dead body was laying in the tomb, and he rose from the dead after 3 days and 3 nights, and is alive.
Matthew 28 Yeshua. v2 And Behold [LOOK, SEE], there was a great earthquake [YHVH testimony], for an angel of YeHoVaH descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone [revealed va'yagel ha'even] from the door and sat on it. v3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. v4 For fear of him, the guards shook, and became like dead men. v5 But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know you that you seek Yeshua, who has been crucified. v6 He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord [Master, Adoni] was lying.
v7 Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him' Behold, I have told you."
v8 so they left the tomb quickly, frightened yet filled with joy; and they ran to give the news to his talmidim (taught ones, students).
v9 Suddenly Yeshua met them and said, “YeHoVaH yoshiachen!” [Hebrew Mattithyahu Breslau Ms YeHoVaH saves you feminine plural ending] They came up and took hold of his feet as they fell down in front of him.
v10 Then Yeshua said to them, “Do not be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to go the Galil, and they will see me there.”
v16 But eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Yeshua had sent them. v17 When they saw him, they worshiped him, but some doubted [hesitated]. v18 And Yeshua came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
v19 Go and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Son [manuscript has singular, Acts 2:38. Eccl 12:13]
v20 teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you.
Behold, I will be with you [TOKEN Ehyeh imcha] always [forever le'olam], even to the end of age." Amein
The same rule would apply to thee Prophet Yeshua.
The Prophet Mosheh was given the TOKEN in
Exodus 3:12 He [YeHoVaH] said, “Certainly, Ehyeh “I will be with you.”
This will be the TOKEN to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve G-d on this mountain.
In Exodus 3:14 Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, He refers to Himself as Ehyeh, we call Him YeHoVaH.
Yeshua the perfect Lamb of YeHoVaH (John.1:36, 1:45, 1:49,) The Pesah is a Ceremonial Meal.
One year old Lamb for the House of YeHoVaH, forever (le'olam).
Time, Torah, Tetragrammaton! You have the appointed Son and anointed Mashiach Yeshua, appointed times (Pesah, Feast of Unleavened Bread 7 days, the perfect number of completion, Shabbat, Torah, oath - vow, third day consecrate, sanctify,
Chag Shavuot, Holy Convocations, first-fruits of your works or deeds).
Mattithyahu 27:45 NJV Bible
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. v46 About the ninth hour Yeshua cried with a loud voice, saying,
"ELI, ELI, LAMA AZAVTANI?
v50 Yeshua cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
Yoḥanan 19v19, With Hebrew letters we get:
“ישוע הנוצרי ומלך היהודים”.
Remember the reading from right to left. These letters are equivalent to our
“Yshu Hnotsri Vmlk Hyhudim” vocalized “Yeshua Hanotsri Vemelek Hayehudim.”
The Greek version of the initialism reads: ΙΝΒΙ, representing Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὁ βασιλεύς τῶν Ἰουδαίων (Iēsoûs ho Nazōraîos ho basileús tôn Ioudaíō
In getting the Latin Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum “INRI.” The acronym for the Hebrew you get “יהוה”, “YHVH.”
They see the Tetragrammaton and see Yeshua (the living embodiment of the Torah nailed to the stake).
v20 Therefore many of the Judeans [religious leaders, the accusers] read this title, for the place where Yeshua was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.
v21 The chief Kohanim of the Judeans therefore said to Pilate,
"Do not write, "The King of the Jews,' but, he said,
"I am King of the Jews." (Remember, Yeshua made himself on no reputation, they wanted the false charge for Blasphemy to be written for the record) v22 Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
v30 "It is finished,"
And Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.”
Acts 8:24 ESV
Peter told Simon Magus to repent and pray for forgiveness (notice the order), but Simon responded "Pray for me." He think he still didn't get it. Certainly a man of God has the power to intercede with God on behalf of those under his authority, but no man can ask God's forgiveness on your behalf. You have to repent and ask forgiveness of your own volition and in your own voice.
Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Proverbs 30:5 ESV
This is the essence of what it means to "Believe in the name of God": To believe that every word of his is true and to take refuge in him.
It's not enough to believe that God can forgive your sins by the blood of Yeshua. It's not enough to believe that Yeshua really came in the flesh and died for our sins. You have to believe IN him, which means you trust that every word he tells you is true, including the parts you don't want to hear.
Psalms 7:11-13 ESV
God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day.
If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow;
He has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.
