FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION - YITHRO:
The scriptures are a love story. They are a tale of a special people whom the Master of the universes chooses and calls out for Himself as a bride. It is written in the Prophets:
“Therefore, see, I am alluring her and shall lead her into the wilderness and shall speak to her heart and give to her the vineyards from there and the valley of Akor as a door of hope. And there she shall respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from the land of Mitzrayim. And it shall be in that day, declares YHWH, that you shall call Me Ishi (my husband) and no longer call Me Ba’aliy (my lord)...”
The 10 commands which are given is this week’s Torah portion are the “Kethuvah,” the wedding contract between YHWH and His bride Yisrael. Scripture says this kethuvah was made not only with those who were standing there that day and near, but also those of Yisrael who were not standing there that day and afar off. Such is the great love between YHWH and His bride that she accepted it before she even heard it in its entirety, saying, “All that YHWH has spoken, we will do.”
What about you? Do you accept YHWH’s Torah upon yourself in its entirety and agree to obey the wedding contract of your Maker – your Husband-to-be? If you do, He has this to say to you:
...and I will betroth thee unto Me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and judgment, and in lovingkindness and in mercy; and I will betroth thee unto Me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know YHWH.”
FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – YITHRO:
“And Elohim spoke all these Words, saying, ‘I am YHWH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery.
You have no other mighty ones against My face.
You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, YHWH your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.
You do not bring the Name of YHWH your Elohim to naught, for YHWH does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to naught.
Remember the Sabbath day, to set it apart. Six days you labor, and shall do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of YHWH your Elohim. You do not do any work – you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore, YHWH blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.
Respect your father and your mother, so that your days are prolonged upon the soil which YHWH your Elohim is giving you.
You do not murder.
You do not commit adultery.
You do not steal.
You do not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You do not covet your neighbor’s house, you do not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor.’”
FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – YITHRO:
“And it came to be, on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain. And the voice of a shophar was very strong, and all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moshe brought the people out of the camp to meet with Elohim, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.”
It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word in this passage, translated into English as “at the foot of,” is tachat. Normally, this word is translated as “under,” or “underneath.” Some scholars suppose that this encounter between YHWH and His people was something of a ‘shotgun wedding,’ and that YHWH was holding the mountain over the people’s heads as He awaited their answer to His proposal of marriage. That answer was then quite predictable:
“And Moshe came and called for the elders of the people and set before them all these words which YHWH commanded him. And all the people answered together and said, ‘All that YHWH has spoken we shall do.’”

The Traplamp, a bulky flashlight shape of scratched turqoise plastic with surprisingly no more than a single clunky switch. From the front, a smudged transparent bulge swelled like a bulb about to fall from its socket. Inside this swelling the arcane mechanics of the device could be glimpsed by a youthful eye.
Switched on, cast networks like the light reflected from tremulous water, but frozen in form, multiple layers of different colour, sliding past each other in different directions: red, violet, brown, patina, combed intermittantly by a 'radar' beam of thin eye-burn style light in lightning form.
Traplight, a light which, supposedly, no preternatural entity could conceal itself from.

Proverbs 12:20, “Deceit is in the hearts of those who devise evil, but the counselors of peace have joy.” Carefully planned deception is evil. However we do sometimes misunderstand also which is another reason we are warned often not to be deceived. Only through careful study are we able to know the difference between a carefully devised evil plan to deceive and our own misunderstanding.
