Numbers 15

Comments
The people of Israel and the Levites who were called out as the Church in the wilderness. The Book of Numbers is an accounting of the people beginning this process of becoming a peculiar people as they organize themselves in patterns of Tens as Christ commanded His disciples to require of the people for the practice of Pure Religion which may set the captive free according to the perfect law of liberty. In the early day they lived in tents or tabernacles^[1] but what they were learning is a timeless skill that comes with the seeking of the kingdom of God and His righteousness.




What is the Fringe, the Tzitzit (תציצ)? Is it tassels on a piece of cloth or is it the blossoming of the Spirit in the daily life God grants us? Is it about blue threads or is it about the threads of righteousness and faith which leads to perfection? In the imagination of men has it become about self-righteous rituals unmoored from their meaning through the prideful Sophistry of the foolish? What does the Husband of the Bride desire? What has the Lord, King, Creator, Father instructed us to do in the torah to have eternal life, peace, wholeness, blessings, health, etc.? Have we unmoored the metaphor from its meaning? Have we formed an allegiance to an idolatrous interpretation of an allegory and remained blind to the "hidden meaning" and "moral" it offers? Are we doing the righteous will of the Father or gleaning self-righteousness from the rituals of our imagination?

The Pharisees would have you think or even believe that Moses and God took the people out of the cruel bondage of Egypt where people had to give 20% of their families' labor to the government and set them up in a system where they were to love their neighbor as themselves, provide all social welfare through freewill offerings and then they created a system where the community bludgeon people to death in a brutal and bloody tortuously macabre manner.
Many probably also think the Altars were piles of unhewn stone that people burned up sheep on just to make God pleased and happy.
None of that is true. Leaven is not about yeast. Sabbath is not about a day. Altars of stone were not about the mindless burning up of dead animals. And stoning was not about hitting people in the head with rocks until they die. That view of the Pentateuch is from the men who did not know Moses were wrong and through [[Sophistry] have deceived many. The people have to be willing to repent! Think differently and see the light.
They have unmoored the metaphors of Moses and the Hebrew language.
If people insist upon seeing the Old Testament through the eyes of the people who got it wrong they will go under a strong delusion, return to the bondage of Egypt, curse children as a surety for trillions of dollars in debt, and will again become entangled in system Corban that makes the word of God to none effect. https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Stoning
Questions
What did it mean " gathered (məqōšêš מְקֹשֵׁ֥שׁ)^[2] sticks (êṣîm; עֵצִ֑ים)^[2]? The normal word for wood or sticks is עֵץ. If you add a Beit ‎06087 עָצַב‎ ‘atsab or 06088 עֲצַב‎ ‘atsab or 06089 עֶצֶב‎ ‘etseb ‎it become hurt or pain or sorrow, and then there is 06090 עֹצֶב‎ ‘otseb which can mean wicked, sorrow or even idol (עָצְבִּ֣י). The word עצם‎ ‘atsum 06105 without the Yod is said to mean increase or even shut the eyes. But with the Strong's number 06106 עֶצֶם‎ ‘etsem it could mean bones, substance or even limbs. or the word 06108 עֹצֶם‎ ‘otsem it can mean power.

Laws About Sacrifices

1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

3 And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:

4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.

5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.

7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice^[3] in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:

9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.

10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.

12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.

13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,

19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.

20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.

21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.

Laws About Unintentional Sins

22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,

23 Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;

24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.

25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:

26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.

27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.

28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.

30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

A Sabbathbreaker Executed

32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered (məqōšêš מְקֹשֵׁ֥שׁ)^[2] sticks^[2] upon the sabbath day.

33 And they that found him gathering(məqōšêš מְקֹשֵׁ֥שׁ)^[2] sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone<בָֽאֲבָנִים֙ BeitAlefBeitNunYod Mem>^[4] him with stones without the camp.

36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Tassels on Garments

37 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe [Tzitzit (תציצ)] of the borders^[5] a ribband of blue:

39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

41 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
