Deuteronomy 5:1 Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, “Israel, listen to the prescriptions and rules I am proclaiming as you hear them today. Learn and watch them carefully.
Deuteronomy 5:2 Yahveh our God established a covenant with us at Horeb.
Deuteronomy 5:3 Yahveh did not establish this covenant with our fathers, but with all of us who are alive here today.
Deuteronomy 5:4 Yahveh spoke to you face to face from the fire on the mountain.
Deuteronomy 5:5 At that time, I was standing between Yahveh and you to report the word of Yahveh to you because you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain. And this is what he said:
Deuteronomy 5:6 I am Yahveh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery.
Deuteronomy 5:7 Do not have other gods besides me.
Deuteronomy 5:8 Do not make an idol for yourself in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the land below or in the water under the land.
Deuteronomy 5:9 Do not bow in worship to them and do not serve them, because I, Yahveh your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers’ violation[1] to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me,
Deuteronomy 5:10 but showing faithful care to a thousand generations of those who care about me and watch my commands.
Deuteronomy 5:11 Do not misuse the name of Yahveh your God, because Yahveh will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses his name.
Deuteronomy 5:12 Be careful to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it sacred[2] like Yahveh, your God has commanded you.
Deuteronomy 5:13 You are to labor six days and do all your work,
Deuteronomy 5:14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahveh your God. Do not do any work– you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your ox or donkey, any of your livestock, or the guest who lives within your city gates, so that your male and female slaves may rest as you do.
Deuteronomy 5:15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Yahveh, your God, brought you out of there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. That is why Yahveh, your God, has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
Deuteronomy 5:16 Honor your father and your mother, as Yahveh your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and so that you may prosper in the land Yahveh your God is giving you.
Deuteronomy 5:17 You will not murder.
Deuteronomy 5:18 You will not commit adultery.
Deuteronomy 5:19 You will not steal.
Deuteronomy 5:20 You will not give dishonest testimony against your neighbor.
Deuteronomy 5:21 You will not crave[3] your neighbor’s wife or your neighbor’s house, his field, his male or female slave, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
Deuteronomy 5:22 “Yahveh spoke these commands in a loud voice to your entire collected assembly from the fire, cloud, and total darkness on the mountain; he added nothing to them. He wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.
Deuteronomy 5:23 All of you approached me with your tribal leaders and elders when you heard the voice from the darkness and while the mountain was blazing with fire.
Deuteronomy 5:24 You said, ‘Notice,[4] Yahveh, our God, has shown us his impressive appearance[5] and greatness, and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that God can speak with a human, and he stays alive.
Deuteronomy 5:25 But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of Yahveh, our God, any longer.
Deuteronomy 5:26 For who out of everyone in the flesh[6] has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the fire, as we have, and stayed alive?
Deuteronomy 5:27 Go near and listen to everything Yahveh our God says. Then you can tell us everything Yahveh our God tells you; we will listen and obey.’
Deuteronomy 5:28 “Yahveh heard your words when you spoke to me. He said to me, ‘I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. Everything they have said is right.
Deuteronomy 5:29 If only they had such a heart to fear me and watch all my commands always, so that they and their children would permanently[7] prosper.
Deuteronomy 5:30 Go and tell them: Return to your tents.
Deuteronomy 5:31 But you stand here with me, and I will tell you every command – the prescriptions and rules – you are to teach them, so that they may follow them in the land I am giving them to take possession of.’
Deuteronomy 5:32 “Be careful to do as Yahveh your God has commanded you; you are not to turn aside to the right or the left.
Deuteronomy 5:33 Follow the whole instruction Yahveh your God has commanded you, so that you may stay alive, prosper, and have a long life in the land you will possess.
“But in mediating the law, Moses applied it to the contemporary situation, and his repetition of the Decalog and laws in the verses and chapters that follow in Deuteronomy differs at a number of points from the initial presentation of the law in the book of Exodus.”
Craigie Peter C. The Book of Deuteronomy. Eerdmans 1976. p. 148.
“The laws of Deuteronomy are like a straight and well-marked ‘path’ or road, without any detours. Therefore, it was imperative for Israel to follow the Lord in all the way that he had commanded (repeated in vv. 32–33). Placed here, these verses are not seen as an intrusion on the assumption that the law had already been given, but may be perceived as anticipating the full complement of laws to follow.”

Numbers 29:40 So Moses told the people of Israel everything just as Yahveh had commanded Moses.
Numbers 29 quotes:
“The lawgiver now passes in the most logical method, to define the limits of the land which Israel should regard as its inheritance, so that it should not seek to go out beyond these limits and found a world empire (2 Sam. xxiv. ), nor rest within these boundaries until it has acquired and occupied all the territory within them.”
Lange, Johann Peter, and Samuel T. Lowrie. Numbers: Or, the Fourth Book of Moses. New York: C. Scribner, 1899. p. 181.
“an assembly. The Heb . word ‘azereth contains nothing which implies that the assembly was of a specially solemn character. Before the exile an ‘azereth was held on the seventh day of the Feast of Unleavened Cakes (Dt. xvi. 8 ); and see Is. i . 13 (R.V. solemn meeting ‘), Am . v. 21. After the exile it was used , as here, of an assembly on the additional eighth dayof the Feast of Booths (Lev. xxiii . 36 , Neh . viii . 18 ) , and on a special fast day ( Joel i . 14, ii. 15) ; and the Chronicler relates that such an assembly was held as the climax of rejoicing on the eighth day ( contrast i K. viii. 66) at the dedication of Solomon’s temple (2 Ch . vii. 9) .”

Numbers 9:1 And Yahveh spoke to Moses in the open country of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, and this is what he said.
Numbers 9:2 “Let the people of Israel keep the Passover at its appointed time.
Numbers 9:3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you will keep it at its appointed time; according to all its prescriptions and all its rules, you will keep it.”
Numbers 9:4 So Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the Passover.
Numbers 9:5 And they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, in the open country of Sinai; according to all that Yahveh commanded Moses, so the people of Israel did.
Numbers 9:6 Certain men had been contaminated because they had touched a dead throat, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came in the sight of Moses and Aaron on that day.
Numbers 9:7 And those men said to him, “We are contaminated because we have touched a dead throat. Why are we kept from bringing Yahveh’s offering at its appointed time among the people of Israel?”
Numbers 9:8 And Moses said to them, “Wait, that I may hear what Yahveh will command concerning you.”
Numbers 9:9 Yahveh spoke to Moses, and this is what he said,
Numbers 9:10 “Speak to the people of Israel, and this is what you should say: If any one of you or your descendants is contaminated because he has touched a dead throat, or is on a long journey, he will still keep the Passover to Yahveh.
Numbers 9:11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day at twilight, they will keep it. They will eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Numbers 9:12 They will leave none of it until the morning, nor break any of its bones; according to all the prescriptions for the Passover, they will keep it.
Numbers 9:13 But if anyone who is pure and is not on a journey fails to keep the Passover, that throat will be eliminated from his people because he did not bring Yahveh’s offering at its appointed time; that man will pay for his failure.
Numbers 9:14 And if a foreign guest[1] sojourns among you and wants to keep the Passover to Yahveh, according to the prescription of the Passover and according to its rule, so will he do. You will have one prescription, both for the foreign guest and for the native.”
Numbers 9:15 On the day that the Tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the Tabernacle, the tent of the reminder. And in the evening, it was over the Tabernacle like the appearance of fire until morning.
Numbers 9:16 So it was always: the cloud covered it by day and the appearance of fire by night.
Numbers 9:17 And whenever the cloud lifted from over the tent, after that, the people of Israel set out, and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the people of Israel camped.
Numbers 9:18 At the command of Yahveh, the people of Israel set out, and at the command of Yahveh, they camped. As long as the cloud rested over the tabernacle, they remained in camp.
Numbers 9:19 Even when the cloud continued over the Tabernacle for many days, the people of Israel kept the charge of Yahweh and did not set out.
Numbers 9:20 Sometimes, the cloud stayed a few days over the Tabernacle, and according to Yahveh’s command, they remained in camp; then, according to Yahveh’s command, they set out.
Numbers 9:21 And sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning. And when the cloud lifted in the morning, they set out, or if it continued for a day and a night, when the cloud lifted, they set out.
Numbers 9:22 Whether it was two days, or a month, or a longer time, that the cloud continued over the tabernacle, staying there, the people of Israel remained in camp and did not set out, but when it lifted, they set out.
Numbers 9:23 At the command of Yahveh, they camped, and at the command of Yahveh, they set out. They kept the charge of Yahveh at the command of Yahveh Moses.
“The rise and fall of Passover observance is seen throughout Israel’s history as one sure test for diagnosing the nation’s spiritual health. What is true for the group is also true for the individual. Here, for perhaps the first time, the sin of omission is cited as being as heinous as the sin of commission. Namely, it is as bad not to partake when clean, as it is to partake when unclean (v. 13). The threat of “cutting off” is the same threat levied against the long list of ritual violations in Leviticus 20.”
Boyce Richard Nelson. Leviticus and Numbers. 1st ed. Westminster John Knox Press 2008. p. 132
“Hudson Taylor reminded his missionary colleagues that the Christian’s response to daunting situations was best expressed in a terse phrase: ‘Impossible? Difficult. Done!’ Those words eloquently describe the Israelite people’s experience of liberation. Humanly speaking, it was Feo impossible. As God began to work on the hardened Egyptian ruler, the situation became unquestionably difficult, but because the Lord was omnipotently at work it was miraculously done. Passover assured these pilgrims that the Lord who brought them out of one country could certainly bring them into another.”
Brown Raymond. The Message of Numbers : Journey to the Promised Land. InterVarsity Press 2002. p. 72.
“When the children of Israel had been brought out of Egypt by the goodness and power of God, Moses told them what God wanted them to do to make sure they would remember Him. He didn’t want His acts to become ordinary to them. At the Red Sea Israel had been delivered from the power of Egypt, so that they were free to journey to Canaan. But they were not so free that they could direct their own steps. The almighty God led Moses to guide them by establishing certain times in their calendar when they would remember God especially. God would always be their refuge and their stronghold, but they needed to remember this in a special way.”
Gutzke, Manford George. Plain Talk on Leviticus and Numbers. Zondervan Pub. House., 1981. p. 79.
“The Lord responded to Moses’ inquiry by allowing those Israelites to celebrate the feast on the following month. The intervening month probably allowed the defiled individuals time to observe ritual cleansing. In one final perilous reminder, the Lord warned the community to observe the feast without excuse. Failure to do so would result in death. Foreigners could observe the feast at the regular time.”
Martin, Glen, and Max E. Anders. Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers. Broadman & Holman, 2002. p. 294.
“The real and visible presence of God among his people was his response to their obedience in building the tabernacle (15). But this section is placed immediately after the account of the celebration of the second passover. The cloud of God’s presence first appeared after the first passover (Exod. 13:21–22). The tabernacle could be built only once, but the festivals of redemption were to be celebrated regularly. This narrative, therefore, looks beyond the wilderness situation, in which Israel could follow God’s leading in an immediate way, to a time when its faithfulness to the LORD would be demonstrated by their keeping of the festivals.”

Numbers 7:1 On the day when Moses had finished setting up the Tabernacle and had anointed and consecrated it with all its furnishings and had anointed and consecrated the altar with all its utensils,
Numbers 7:2 the leaders of Israel, heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the leaders of the tribes, who were over those who were listed, approached
Numbers 7:3 and brought their offerings in the sight of Yahveh, six wagons and twelve oxen, a wagon for every two of the leaders, and for each one an ox. They brought them to the face of the tabernacle.
Numbers 7:4 Then Yahveh said to Moses,
Numbers 7:5 “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the service of the conference tent, and give them to the Levites, to each man according to his service.”
Numbers 7:6 So Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

Numbers 7:10 And the leaders offered offerings for the dedication of the altar on the day it was anointed, and the leaders offered their offering in the sight of the altar.
Numbers 7:11 And Yahveh said to Moses, “They will offer their offerings, one leader each day, for the dedication of the altar.”

Numbers 7:89 And when Moses went into the conference tent to speak with Yahveh, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the reminder, from between the two cherubim; and it spoke to him.
Numbers 7 quotes:
“As the time for departure draws very close, a peculiar procession of wagons and oxen forms in the midst of Israel’s camp. Once they are in place, a twelve-day series of presentations takes place at the central tent of meeting. What is this? An advance party gathering to move out as forerunners for the people? A preparatory deposition of supplies in the central store? No. Before beginning their perilous journey through the wilderness, and as a finishing touch on the worship of the tabernacle that will travel in their midst, God’s people willingly offer up some of the prize pieces in their inventory: twelve silver plates, twelve golden dishes, six covered wagons, twelve loadcarrying oxen, and so on and on. What a crazy approach to survival!”

“Numbers 7, which is the longest chapter in the Bible apart from Psalm 119, describes a unique event in the history of Israel. During a twelve-day festival, gifts were brought to be used in the work at the Tent of Meeting (4). Each day a different tribe’s gifts were presented by its designated leader; there was no variation whatever either in the gifts they offered or in the literary formula used to describe their offerings. Those who brought such gifts for the dedication of the altar (11) were the same men who had been responsible for the census (1:5-16; cf. 2:3-31). A list of all the gifts is provided (7:84-88), and a concluding verse focuses on the place where Moses met with God (89).”

“When a believer comes into the church service he may think he is just one of hundreds. But this is not the way God thinks. The worshiper is one of one to God, regardless of who he is. The Lord personally receives service from each individual. There is one obvious lesson here: the leaders are to offer, but each individual is to do his part. And in verses 84 to 88 we have a careful record of what was offered for the dedication of the altar. When we think about the altar in the tabernacle, it should remind us of Calvary’s cross. The altar is where the sacrifice was made by the priest; the cross is where the sacrifice was made by the Lord. Because of this, the center of all worship is the altar forever.”

“Each of the twelve tribes of Israel present God with certain things, and exactly the same list of presents is given twelve times over. But God s ways are not as our ways even in writing a book; and whereas a human writer might have condensed this account into a few lines, as one has observed, “there is no hasty promiscuous jumbling of names and offerings when God records the gifts of His children.” He prizes even the smallest gift or slightest service, and carefully records all.”

“Describing the organization of the camp and the tasks of the Levites in Numbers 1 – 6 before recording the gifts of the princes and the appointment of the Levites (Num. 7 – 8) enables the reader to appreciate the significance of these events.

Leviticus 17:1 And Yahveh spoke to Moses, and this is what he said,
Leviticus 17:2 “Speak to Aaron and his sons and to all the people of Israel and say to them, this is the thing that Yahveh has commanded when he said,
Leviticus 17:3 that if any one from the house of Israel kills an ox or a lamb or a goat in the camp, or kills it outside the camp,
Leviticus 17:4 and does not bring it to the entrance of the conference tent to offer it as a gift to Yahveh in the face of the tabernacle of Yahveh, that man will be recognized as guilty of bloodshed. He has shed blood, and that man will be eliminated from among his people.
Leviticus 17:5 This is so that the people of Israel may bring their sacrifices that they sacrifice in the face of the field, that they may bring them to Yahveh, to the priest at the entrance of the conference tent, and sacrifice them as sacrifices for healthy relationships to Yahveh.
Leviticus 17:6 And the priest will throw the blood on the altar of Yahveh at the entrance of the conference tent and burn the fat for a pacifying aroma to Yahveh.
Leviticus 17:7 So they will no more sacrifice their sacrifices to goat demons, after whom they lust. This will be a permanent prescription for them throughout their generations.
Leviticus 17:8 “And you will say to them, any one from the house of Israel, or from the foreign guests who are temporary residents among them, who offers an ascending offering or sacrifice
Leviticus 17:9 and does not bring it to the entrance of the conference tent to offer it to Yahveh, that man will be eliminated from his people.
Leviticus 17:10 “If any one from the house of Israel or from the foreign guests who are temporary residents among them eats any blood, I will set my face against that throat who eats blood and will eliminate him from among his people.
Leviticus 17:11 Because the throat within the skin is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to provide reconciliation for your throats, because it is the blood that provides reconciliation for the throat.
Leviticus 17:12 Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, no throat among you will eat blood, neither will any foreign guest who is a temporary resident among you eat blood.
Leviticus 17:13 “Any one also from the people of Israel, or from the foreign guests who are temporary residents among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten will pour out its blood and cover it with land.
Leviticus 17:14 Because the throat within everyone’s skin is its blood: its blood is its throat. Therefore, I have said to the people of Israel, you will not eat the blood of any creature, because the throat within everyone’s skin is its blood. Whoever eats it will be eliminated.
Leviticus 17:15 And every throat who eats what dies of itself or what is torn by beasts, whether he is a native or a temporary resident, will wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be contaminated until the evening; then he will be clean.
Leviticus 17:16 But if he does not wash them or bathe his body, he will be responsible for his violation.”
Leviticus 17 quotes:
“Leviticus 17—20 deals with four special areas of life that must be respected and kept holy: the sanctity of blood, or life (chap. 17); the sanctity of sex (chap. 18); the sanctity of the law (chap. 19); and the sanctity of judgment (chap. 20).”

“We really. don’t want to know about such things, “TMI” (too much information) is probably the response of many. Blood, however, is important; for blood and life are intimately connected. In ancient Israel, blood was considered the_ source of power for animals, including humans.”
March, W. Eugene. Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers. Abingdon Press, 2012. p. 60.
“Leviticus 17:1-9 reminded Israel that the central sanctuary is the only place where sacrifices were to be brought. Those who sacrificed elsewhere were to be cut off from the people (17:3-4). Israel had been sacrificing in open fields (17:5). Some of the people had been bringing offerings to idols (17:7). Such actions had to stop (17:8-9).”
House, Paul R. Leviticus/Numbers. Broadman & Holman, 1999. p. 37
