My first custom model and 8th overall build. I have named this model 'Zamar'. A transliterated Hebrew word that means 'worship with a stringed instrument'. I have built 2 of these and starting on the 3rd. I'll be sharing build progress posts with y'all.

To me, this account shows a couple of things. The first being related to what this series is pointing out: that the Law written down by Moses was in place long before Moses. If you have been following this series, this is now the 7th instance of a law being mentioned/performed before the Law was given. At some point it has to stop being a coincidence or "this and this culture thing" and we have to let the Bible interpret the Bible. If this was any other book, ANY OTHER BOOK, and while reading something in later chapters that explained something in the previous chapters; we would have that "mind-click" moment and be like "AHHH, that is what that was." Why do we not do this with the Bible? Why do we read it in bubbles and think the text is only relevant to just the immediate surrounding chapters? Why do we then go to the original languages and break down words to make them fit our bubble narrative?

The second thing I think it shows is when we read about "the nations" or people in sin, we think of the world around us right now. People that have no regard for God and aren't doing anything godly. We see here, and from when we first meet Laban in Genesis 24, that he seems to be following God, in part at least. In between these two accounts did he backslide and start worshipping false gods? Did he make idols to worship God with? The text doesn't tell us the details, but we can see from these accounts that he was trying to live right in some things at least.

i generally ask people a question related to this. that question is “Why can’t YHWH tell a lie?” the answers that i get are all over the place. of all the people that i’ve asked, only one has answered it correctly. here’s the answer. YHWH’S Authority is so absolute that anything and everything that he says will become reality even if it wasn’t prior to him saying it. Y’SHUA gave us an example in Matthew 3:9.
.
Matthew 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
.
or to put it another way, YHWH’S Authority is so absolute that even the things that didn’t exist had to obey HIS command and came into existence.

Malachi 2; 8—9, “ But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts. Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.” Everyone who chooses their own path and ignores or rejects the Creator leaves His “way” and usually find themselves stumbling through a life meant to be lived with direction, meaning and purpose. Replacing the way our Creator designed us to live with our own way is in fact, rejecting Him.

#aviv #barley #roshhashana #firstfruits

If you want to determine the beginning of the year according to the ripeness of the barley, then you must first establish a firm understanding from the scripture and decide whether ONE omer/sheaf of barley is to be brought to the priest:

A) on behalf of all the people of Israel

OR

B) individually by each farmer


Here are some pertinent scriptures:

“take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground,
which you harvest …
put it in a basket, and you shall go to the place that YHVH your Elohim will choose, …

go to the priest who is in office at that time and
say to him,
‘I declare today to YHVH your Elohim that I have come into the land that YHVH swore to our fathers to give us.’

Then the priest shall take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of YHVH your Elohim.

And you shall make response before YHVH your Elohim, …
“I bring the first of the fruit of the ground,
which you, O YHVH, have given me.’

And you shall set it down before YHVH your Elohim and worship before YHVH your Elohim.

11 And you shall rejoice in all the good that YHVH your Elohim has given to you and to your house …

Deut 26:2-5+11

“You shall not delay to offer the first of your ripe produce” Ex 22:29

“you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest” Lev 23:10


The key in all these verses is the “basket”.

A basket is only needed if the barley is ripe and prone to fall out.
For an Omer/Sheaf of AVIV barley - NO basket is needed.

Who is actually responsible to bring that Omer of barley to the priest?

The basket is the strongest hint that the first fruits are expected from the individual farmer.

The farmer who’s barley and oats are ripe earlier than everybody elses needs to put the grain in a basket to prevent the grains ? from dropping on his way to Jerusalem.


I believe B) to be the most scriptuaral approach when it comes to determening the biginning of the year based on the Aviv-barley.

Who is actually responsible to bring that Omer of barley to the priest?

Scripture seems to expect every farmer to bring His fristfruit to the priest who is in office at that time and to rejoice in all the good that YHVH Elohim has given to him and his house.

Abba Father wants YOU personally and individually to rejoice and not someone else in your place.
How do YOU want to respond to this?

Here is a verse that is clearly supporting the understanding that EVERYBODY is expected to “take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground” (Deut 26:2):

“When you enter your neighbor’s grainfield, you may pluck the heads of grain with your hand, but you must not put a sickle to your neighbor’s grain.” Deut. 23:25

.
“Three times a year all your males

shall appear before YHVH your Elohim

at the place that he will choose:

at the Feast of Unleavened Bread,
at the Feast of Weeks, and
at the Feast of Booths.

They shall NOT appear before YHVH

empty-handed. ??

Every man shall give as he is able,

according to the blessing of YHVH your Elohim
that he has given you.” Deut 16:16-17
