Thought for Today: Tuesday April 19 Omer Counting Day 3:
May YHVH Himself surround you with His Tender Mercies and Grace today. May He heal your soul so you can live by faith. Where you once reacted out of insecurities, may you respond in faith knowing you possess all in Moshiach. Where you once struggled with your worries, may you release every care to Him and lift your hands in praise. You are not made for this world. You are only passing through. Live as the divinely loved and called soul you are!
#readmethebiblegarth now includes a new recording of 1 Chronicles 1 in 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.
We hope you’re having a blessed Chag, ladies ??? Below is a chavura that House of Sarah Facebook sisters and I did for seven Sabbaths during Chag Matzah. Entitled “The Count -The Bride”.

The Passover lamb (or goat) isn't a sacrifice in the sense that word is usually used. Your English translations of Exodus, etc., may talk about "offering the Passover sacrifice", but the Hebrew really just says "kill the Passover". Moreover, no part of the Passover, including the blood, ever touches the altar.
Although the Passover must be killed at Jerusalem, it doesn't have to be done at the Temple or by a Levitical priest. According to 2 Chronicles 30:17, the pre-exilic, ancient Israelites believed that the Passover could be killed by any ritually clean person, and I don't see anything in Torah to contradict them.
"The letter to the Galatians is one of the most misunderstood of Paul’s writings. In this video, [G. Steven Simons] captures the true Hebraic context of the times and discover that Paul is not anti-Torah, he is against teaching the nations that they must convert to Judaism, receive the mark of conversion (circumcision) and keep the oral traditions to be saved."
While re-researching the Pesach last week, Ex 12:42 came to my attention. (I don't know how I haven't "seen" it before.) It reads "It is a night of watching to be observed for the Lord for having brought them out of the land of Egypt; this night is for the Lord, to be observed and celebrated by all the Israelites throughout their generations."
So, we kept our first night watch after our Pesach meal. Each person in my house had a slot to keep watch.
Do you keep watch/vigil as part of your Pesach?
