#readmethebiblegarth now has the whole book of Ezekiel 1-48 in Hebrew with translation, & the Lawful Literal Version, here: https://youtube.com/playlist?l....ist=PLvpqSEOjm625MyT
The Ezekiel 44 Hebrew for 2022 recording gives the reasons for (& results of) scribal errors, and why it is better to consider ALL the manuscripts -the many preservations of Scripture- & seek the original reading that best explains all variants, rather than to choose a manuscript to be 'God's Word' for us.
The Ezekiel 45 Hebrew for 2022 recording includes a note about future animal sacrifices in the coming temple of YHWH. The law of sacrifices is not done away with, though it be not effectuated at the present time, and though it be not required to enter the heavenly holy of holies by the blood of Yeshua's New Covenant.
Does doing YHWH commands mean 'trusting ones own righteousness'?! Not at all! The Ezekiel 33 LLV132 for 2022 recording explains what it means to 'trust ones own righteousness' rather than to walk by faith/faithfulness -which has always saved people: the faithfulness that keeps hearing & keeps doing what He has commanded and commands, to the end.
Covering cherub?! The 'Ezekiel 28 Hebrew for 2022' reading explains the differences between the Masoretic & (the earlier) Greek witnesses to the early Hebrew text in Ezekiel 28:12-19, a passage which many Christians assume is a history of a 'Lucifer' they think Isaiah 14:12 refers to. The uncertain foundations of this 'Lucifer the Covering Cherub' myth are exposed. The passages denounce human kings. Ezekiel 28:12-19 denounces the king of Tyre, who is therein likened to the priest-like Adam cast out of the set-apart place of God's garden in Eden.
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.

Jeremiah 7:24
But they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.
Psalm 103:1-4
Praise YHVH, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy Name. Praise YHVH, my soul, and forget not all His benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion.
Isaiah 43:18-19
Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I Am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
Hebrews 12:28
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship YHVH acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "YHVH is a consuming fire."
How many times have your prayers gone up to YHVH Elohim and while He fulfilled your request you are morbid in the way it is done, because your thoughts were different? YHVH does things differently because He knows what we need, how it should be done and when it should be. We don't always see results immediately and things does not materialise with suddenly unless it is in the plan of YHVH. A seed is like a prayer we insert into the ground. The more we pray, we nurture it and prepare the ground. It needs water to help it grow, that is love and appreciation. When the seed is stubborn it will take a long time to grow. All seeds are dead and life grow from it as a miracle. This season is the season of planting. While YHVH sends His provision of rain, the seed forms into life. It starts growing because we show appreciation, to all things YHVH provides for.
YHVH is our provider. YHVH YIREH
In the right season your harvest will grow. Nurture it with thankfulness and love. Give thanks in every way to YHVH.
Our Heavenly Father, we come before Thee this day with renewed Spirit of righteousness and give thanks for all the blessings You bestowed upon us. We Thank You for life, for the rain in it's right season and the harvest fields You prepare for us. We thank You for the gifts in our daily life and abilities we have. Please renew our minds, heart and spirit to always stand in joy and Thanksgiving. Guard our minds from evil thoughts and guard us from all that is not from You. We give thanks for every provision and the sparing of life. We give thanks for Your Amazing Grace and Mercy. We give thanks for being Yours. Thank You for Your faithfulness and giving us reason to believe in Your will for us. Forgive us our sins and trespasses against Thee and others. Help us to see the goodness of Your Holy presence. Fill us today with love for You and others. Thank you Yeshua HaMashiach for being the perfection of love, putting your life down so we may live a life free from sin. Let Thy Kingdom come and will be done on earth as in heaven. Amein
Be blessed and stay blessed ?

(Things I Never Knew)
?I was today years old when I learned of chiastic structures in the Bible.?
A chiasm (also called a chiasmus or chiastic) is a literary device in which a sequence of ideas is presented and then repeated in reverse order. The result is a “mirror” effect as the ideas are “reflected” back in a passage. Each idea is connected to its “reflection” by a repeated word, often in a related form. The center point of the chiasm is the main idea or hingepoint. The term chiasm comes from the Greek letter chi, which looks like our letter X.
A chiastic can be as short as a verse such as Mark 2:27:
➡️The Sabbath was made
➡️➡️for man
➡️➡️Not man
➡️For the Sabbath
Or
As in the Hebrew of Genesis 9:6:
➡️Whoever sheds
➡️➡️the blood
➡️➡️➡️of man
➡️➡️➡️by man
➡️➡️shall his blood
➡️be shed
A chiasm may span several verses as in John 4:23-24:
➡️the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:
➡️➡️for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
➡️➡️➡️God is a Spirit:
➡️➡️and they that worship him
➡️must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Remember the center point is the main idea or hingepoint. Chi. X. As in 'X marks the spot."
Some chiastics cover many verses and even entire chapters of the Bible.
Go find this one in your Bible..
Joel 3:17-21
➡️God dwells in Zion (verse 17a)
➡️➡️Jerusalem is holy (verse 17b)
➡️➡️➡️Foreign invaders are banished (verse 17c)
➡️➡️➡️➡️The blessings of the Kingdom (verse 18)
➡️➡️➡️Foreign enemies are destroyed (verse 19)
➡️➡️Jerusalem and Judah are preserved (verses 20–21a)
➡️God dwells in Zion (verse 21b)
The entire chapter of Revelation 12 is one big chiasm. The creation account is a chiasm. The menorah itself is a chiasm (future post)
When you are reading scripture and notice the repetition of words, you may have stumbled upon a chiastic structure. In Western culture, we are used to the the main idea being presented up front. We were all trained to create our thesis statement in our introductory paragraph. Not so in God's Word.
"It's the glory of God to conceal a matter and the honor (glory, abundance, riches) of kings to search it out." Proverbs 25:2
"Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! "
Romans 11:33
