The layers of lessons in the beginning harvest rehearsal and the week of unleavened bread remind us of the abundant provision and blessings from our Creator. Leviticus 23;6, “And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.” Although ישוע (Jesus) compared leaven to sin, the flat uninviting matzah reminds us that since sin entered the world just after creation, the earth is now an uninviting and often seemingly broken place. Many consider the 7 days to represent the 7,000 years from creation to the end of the millennial reign when heaven and earth will be destroyed and made new. Our desire is that our actions and effort are sufficient to be accepted into the new Jerusalem. Our hope is in the promise of our Creator, when we hear His voice and obey His instructions, we (although not worthy) are acceptable.

FIRST-FRUITS
First-fruits are the first of something, such as the first child born into a family, or the year’s first calf, or the first corn or beans to grow in a garden that season. The Hebrews saw the first-fruits as holy. Why? Because the first-fruits were a taste of what was to come. Dedicating those first-fruits to YHVH was a way of thanking Him for providing them. It was also a sign of trust that YHVH would take care of His children. First-fruit offerings included produce in both natural and processed states [e.g., dough, bread, wine, olive oil, and wool]. The firstborn son and the firstborn of one’s animals were to be treated as belonging to YHVH. Firstborn children and the firstborn of unclean animals were redeemed [paid for] with money by the offerer, and the firstborn of the cows, sheep, and goats were offered in sacrifice to YHVH -- Numbers 18:14-17. First-fruits of any kind were reserved for people YHVH designated, namely, the priests. The Old Testament uses the term [the first of the first-fruits.] This may be a reference to the first ripened of the first-fruits, or it may refer to the choicest of them. These offerings were especially designated for the priests and could be eaten by any of them who was ritually clean -- Numbers 18:12-13. For other references to the first-fruits, see: -- Exodus 23:15-19; 34:22, 26; Leviticus 2:14; 23:10-17. The first-fruits were presented to YHVH by bringing the offering to the priest at the tabernacle and, in later times, at the temple -- Deuteronomy 26:2. The priest took the offering, and on the first day of the week, with arms outstretched, waved it before Elohim. On the same day, the person presenting the first-fruits offered a male lamb as a burnt offering to YHVH, a grain offering of fine flour mixed with olive oil, and a drink offering of wine. Fifty days later another grain offering was made. Each family was to give two loaves of bread to Adonai as a special gift. These were also given with appropriate animal, grain, and drink offerings -- Leviticus 23:9-22. In the New Testament the apostle Paul referred to Yeshua Moshiach’s resurrection as the first-fruits of the resurrection of believers that will occur at Yeshua’s return -- 1 Corinthians 15:20, 23. Ruach HaKodesh, who dwells in all believers -- Romans 8:9, is also said to be the first-fruits of the full redemption that is yet to come. [First-fruits] is sometimes used of the first believers in a geographical area -- Romans 16:5; 1 Corinthians 16:15. They were a kind of promise of a spiritual harvest to follow in that particular locality. Believers are said to be first-fruits, referring to their status as a unique and sacred possession of YHVH out of all He has created -- James 1:18. Similarly, in the book of Revelation, the 144,000 are said to have been redeemed from humanity as first-fruits belonging to YHVH and to the Lamb, Yeshua Moshiach -- Revelation 14:4.
#readmethebiblegarth now includes a new recording of Deuteronomy 1-22 n Hebrew with translation, and in the Lawful Literal Version, here: https://youtube.com/playlist?l....ist=PLvpqSEOjm625MyT
The Hebrew for 2022 recordings demonstrate the Grenache tonal reading method for the Hebrew text which brings out the meaningful divisions of verses, according to semantic meaning of the cantillation marks found in the Masoretic text.
Thought for Today: Monday April 18:
There are some scholars that think Job may be the oldest book in the Bible. Whether that is true or not, it certainly deals with one of humanity’s oldest questions: Why does YHVH allow suffering…? After all, how could a loving and gracious Elohim allow suffering …? The key is to understand the Character of YHVH. That is what Job discovered. No, YHVH never gave him a logical, complete answer for his suffering. But through his experience he came to realize that YHVH could be trusted, because He is Merciful and Loving. And you can trust Him too -- not because He always give us all the answers, but simply because He is Elohim!
In the last congregation I attended the Feast of Unleavened Bread was also known as "The Week of Mexican food". #unleavendbread #passover
