Congregations of record could also be called congregations of testimony or congregation by witness.

"Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:" Exodus 18:21

Early Israel was a network of congregations bound only by a common purpose which did not allow people to take from others because their "rulers" "hated covetousness".[1]

Those "rulers" were called "sar"[2] in the Hebrew this is the letters Shem and Reish. It is from the verb ShemReishReish[3]

It is not the word mashal [4] which is from the letters MemShemLamed and is also translated "rule" and "ruler" and associated with dominion[5] and the power of a "Pharaoh" and "Egypt".[6]

Another word for "ruler" is nasiy’ [7] which is the letters NunShemAlef. It appears in Exodus 34:31 in refference to the "rulers of the congregation".[8]


We also see phrases like "the ruler of his house" in Genesis 43:16.[9] It is from the word bayith[10] The Hebrew letters for bayith are BietYodTav [תיב]. Biet means house and Yod is the divine spark while the letter Tav is the door of faith.

These words for ruler do not always mean ruler as we might think of ruler to day. Sar Shem Reish is translated prince 208 times, captain 130, chief 33, ruler 33, governor 6, keeper 3, principal 2, general 1, lords 1.

Jesus talked about the apostles as if they were princes when he appointed them a kingdom using a word that is translated both ruler and princes but His instructions limited them. The decree of Christ barred them from exercising authority one over the other like the princes of the other nations.[11]

The apostles and other deacons[12], ministers of ten, like the Levites before them were to serve the people as Benefactors but could only do so by the division of the Freewill offerings of the people which is another way of saying by charity rather than force like the gentiles were doing then.

Any one who would pray to the Fathers of the earth to obtain benefits at the expense of their neighbor, a covetous practice, are not following the instructions of Christ and therefore should not be labeled Christian. Any Church that is not seeking to provide the benefits of society through charity is not His Church.

This Daily ministration by ministers of His Church required that the people came together and contributed regularly to build a network of congregations which strive to live by faith, hope and charity which is the perfect law of liberty.

This also required men of truth[13] Christ was the truth. What he told us to do and seek is His truth. Anyone who tells you that you do not have to seek and strive to be a doer of what Christ said to do to be His follower is not preaching the gospel of Christ.

In order to love your neighbor as yourself you need to devote time and energy to care for his or her true needs. To do this well you must gather together in a network of charity, faith and hope that others will be there for you when you need help. Those who work at this process of social care by charity will develop the trust of love in Christ found amongst the early Christian community.




Exodus 18:25 And Moses chose[14] able men out of all Israel, and made them heads[15] over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.


Deuteronomy 1:15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
