15 Bo – Day 5
Sh’moth 12:21-28
And Mosheh called for all the elders of Yisra’ěl and said to them, “Go out and take lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and slay the Pěsaḥ.
“And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin, and you, none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.
“And YHWH shall pass on to smite the Mitsrites, and shall see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and YHWH shall pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you.
“And you shall guard this word as a law for you and your sons, forever.
“And it shall be, when you come to the land which YHWH gives you, as He promised, that you shall guard this service.
“And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’
then you shall say, ‘It is the Pěsaḥ sacrifice of YHWH, who passed over the houses of the children of Yisra’ěl in Mitsrayim when He smote the Mitsrites and delivered our households.’” And the people bowed their heads and did obeisance.
And the children of Yisra’ěl went away and did so – as YHWH had commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did.

Tehillah 81 - Day 5 (Yom Chamishy)
Shout for joy to Elohim our strength; Raise a shout to the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ.
Lift up a song and beat the tambourine, The pleasant lyre and with the harp.
Blow a shophar in the New moon, in the covering for the day of our festival.
For this is a law for Yisra’ěl, And a judgment of the Elohim of Ya‛aqoḇ.
He appointed it in Yehosěph for a witness, When He went throughout the land of Mitsrayim; I heard a language that I did not know.
He says, “I removed his shoulder from the burden; His hands were freed from the baskets.
“You called in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you in the covering of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meriḇah. Selah.
“Hear, O My people, and let Me warn you, O Yisra’ěl, if you would listen to Me!
“Let there be no strange mighty one among you, And do not bow down to a foreign mighty one.
“I am YHWH your Elohim, Who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim; Open your mouth wide, and I fill it.
“But My people did not listen to My voice, And Yisra’ěl would not submit to Me.
“So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels.
“O, if My people had listened to Me, Yisra’ěl would walk in My ways, I would subdue their enemies at once, And turn My hand against their adversaries!
“Those who hate YHWH would cringe before Him; And their time of punishment be forever.
“He would feed them with the finest of wheat; And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”

I mean, you could read Torah and it explains the times with the seasons. Abib is in spring; the true beginning of a year and the sprout of life. In the middle of a season that kills everything doesn’t make sense now that I think of it. When compared to spring where the plants come to life. Harvest is a certain amount of days away from first fruits. The beginning of winter is just after Sukkot for me. There are no feasts in the winter. Like Yahuah knew when humanity should hunker down and when it’s best for humanity to get out and produce. Yahuah knew and knows it all and He laid out the perfect path for us to follow, not “just because”, but because it is to our utmost benefit to follow Yahuah’s Torah. Humanity only has excuses for not standing in accord for Him. Trust me, I know all about excuses.
