DEVARIM - DEUTERONOMY - Word DEVARIM - DEUTERONOMY - Word - Dan Stolebarger - Holy Ground Explorations Chapters 1-3:22 INTRODUCTION PARASHAT DEVARIM • Generally speaking, this book represents Moses’ “farewell address” to Israel, where he reviews the history and the laws given to the people and repeatedly warns that obedience will bring blessing while disobedience will bring disaster. The series of personal discourses in this book all have the tone of rebuke and admonition, and indeed some sages say it resembles a sort of “deathbed blessing” not unlike Jacob’s blessing given to his sons. The book opens 37 days before Moses was to die, namely, during the fortieth year since the Exodus from Egypt, on the first day of the eleventh month (i.e., Shevat). The Israelites were in the land of Moab, just east of the Jordan, shortly before they would enter the Promised Land. 1 These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab. To “all Israel” though since there were over 600,000 men over the age of twenty, not including the number of their families, this term most likely meant to the representatives of the nation (i.e., the elders). The places mentioned all emphasized defeat and where the Israelites angered Hashem. Yet there is no description of the incident but merely hints at those failures. In the words of the Sifri ; "In the wilderness”—the time they complained: “If only we would have died in the desert” “In the Aravah (Plain)”—their worship of Baal Peor in the Plains of Moab (Numbers 25). “Opposite Suph”—the complaints and crying out they made at the shores of the Red Sea “Paran”—the sin of the spies, who were dispatched from Paran (Numbers 13 ). “Tophel” and “Laban” (meaning “libel” and “white”)—their libeling the white manna (Numbers 21:5). “Hazeroth”—where Korach’s mutiny against Moses took place. When reflecting on our life journeys ,we remember times of courage ,or fear ,empowerment or weakness. Yet throughout that whole journey we begin to realize that Hashem was there at every step. Otherwise there would not have been another step. 1 2 It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea. 3 Now it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that the Lord had given him as commandments to them, Mount Horeb and Mount Sinai are the same and the Mount Seir is the mountain range in Edom across from Eilat. NINTH of AV Kadesh Barnea Destruction of 1st Temple Destruction of the 2nd Temple Bar Kochba revolt crushed First Crusades - Pope Urban II Expulsion of Jews from England / Spain Deportations from Warsaw Ghetto Opening of Treblinka death camp Disengagement from Gaza This year the 9th of Av falls on the sunset of July 29th 1 6 “The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: ‘You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. 7 Turn and take your journey, and go to the mountains of the Amorites, to all the neighboring places in the plain, in the mountains and in the lowland, in the South and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates. 8 See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to give to them and their descendants after them.’ DAN - What’s wrong with this picture? It was an 11-day journey… but they arrive 40 years later! It startling how a lack of faith can derail one’s spiritual journey! BUT no matter where you (steamin’ ahead or on the side of the ditch) it is time for us to heed that two letter exhortation! It’s time to GO! Let’s move on an take the Land that God has promised! Time for the REVOLUTION to start gaining momentum! Are you with me? All KFIR (young lions) … it’s time to ROAR! Our world needs to hear the ROAR of God’s people! Israel was to begin the conquest from the south, from Kadesh Barnea, not from the east at Jericho. Mentioning the 11 days is meant to contrast the 40 years of wandering that resulted from Israel’s rebellion at Kadesh (Num. 14:34). EDOM Leave them alone I have given this to Esau MOAB Leave them alone I have given this to Lot AMMON Leave them alone I have given this to Lot SIHON OG AMORITES Go to war for I am with you - these lands are given to the Gadites, Reubenites, and half the tribe of Manasseh 2 “Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the Way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we skirted Mount Seir for many days. 2 “And the Lord spoke to me, saying: 3 ‘You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward. I love the wording here … enough is enough - the TIME HAS COME! Let’s get going! I think at this time we need to hear these words and begin a MOVEMENT once again! Time for a REVOLUTION for the Kingdom of Heaven! 2 7 “For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.” ’ Important to know that even in our defeats and struggles God does NOT give up on us! I have found that one of His most precious promises to me is that He will not forsake or abandon me! Even when the shadow of death confronts us! 2 13 “ ‘Now rise and cross over the Valley of the Zered.’ So we crossed over the Valley of the Zered. 14 And the time we took to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, just as the Lord had sworn to them. 15 For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they were consumed. SELAH - The consequences of sin are real - I think about how many of my friends have had their ministries shelved because of sexual sins! 25 This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.’ Only God could do this and I believe He can still do this today! I am calling out all members to KFRI to get your ROAR on! Our Friends, Family and Countries need us to Rise UP! No retreat of cowering in the presence of enemy forces! 3 8 “And at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon 9 (the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir), 10 all the cities of the plain, all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 11 “For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the [b]giants. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in Rabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit. 12 “And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites. 13 The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob, with all Bashan, was called the land of the giants. Seems like God started with the GIANTS - no powderpuff schedule! I can only only envision Caleb finally being unrestrained! :-) 3 21 “And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done to these two kings; so will the Lord do to all the kingdoms through which you pass. 22 You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.’ JOSHUA will continue to be reminded not to FEAR! 10 times Joshua is told to be Strong and NOT Fear. Numerous times Moses reminded the Israelites not to be afraid because God was with them and would fight for them. And after Moses’ death, God made the same commitment to Joshua as he encouraged him to be strong and courageous: Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. – Josh 1:9 From David to Elijah, from Isaiah to Jeremiah, God continuously reminded his people not to fear. When Jesus charged the twelve disciples with their responsibility, He told them not to be afraid of those who would seek to harm them for proclaiming the truth (Matthew 10:26-28). From the women gathering at the empty tomb to the disciples seeing the resurrected Jesus, the message was the same: do not be afraid (Matthew 28:5, Matthew 28:10).

  • VAYISHLACH (And He Sent)
    VAYISHLACH (And He Sent) GENESIS (B‟RESHIYT 32:3 – 36:43) INTRODUCTION: 1. Jacob‟s flight from Esau now comes full circle. a. He had left to flee Esau‟s anger and vengeful plan to kill him. b. As Jacob approached Canaan, Esau approached him with a 400 man army. c. However, Isaac was still alive at this time. “And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, „The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.” – Genesis 27:41 2. It seems inevitable that Jacob was going to have to confront Esau in order to enter land. a. Prophetically: Israel under Moses/Joshua had to confront Esau as well as giants. b. To possess the Land (fulfill purpose) requires confronting the obstacles. 3. Also see how and when Jacob became Israel. a. From “hand on heel” to “prince of God.” 4. Some rabbinic writers consider this even to have been a prophetic vision. a. Many see it as symbolic – each person has to struggle with God to become whole. b. In face of crisis, Jacob was left alone with God. 5. Yet, in the haftarah it says: “In the womb he took his brother by the heel [literally occurred], and in his manhood he strove with God. He strove with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought his favor. He met God at Bethel [literally occurred], and there God spoke with us.” – Hosea 12:3-4 6. Jacob had struggled with men and overcome through persistency, morality and wit.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

Entered, according to the Act of Congress, in Ihe year 1845, Bv Isaac Leeser, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. ; PREFACE. In presenting this edition of the Pentateuch to the Jewish public, it is not my intention to make a long preface, respecting the motives which induced me to undertake so great and difficult a task. It has always appeared to me that such a labour ought to be accomplished in this country, and I could not resist the incli- nation to commence it, under the hope that divine blessing would not be withheld in the accomplishment of the voluntarily assumed task. But with all this it cost me many anxious thoughts before I finally resolved on commencing a work which, having been announced full seven years ago, had notwithstanding its great importance, attracted so little attention, that the aid promised would not pay one-third of the necessary outlay. Still I con- ceived that the project might not for this reason prove a failure and thus the first volume is with this presented to my Jewish friends. I speak of my Jewish friends in particular, for however much a revised translation may be desired by all believers in the Word of God, there is no probability that the gentiles will en- courage any publication of this nature, emanating from a Jewish writer.

If they came unitedly, there is a possibility that they were united in the desert and in Egypt. If their invasions were separated by wide intervals of time, there is no probability that they were united in their earlier history. Our estimate of the Patriarchal and the Mosaic traditions is thus conditioned upon the answer that we give to this question.

  • Isaiah Is Called "The Book of Salvation."
    The Book of Isaiah Introduction: Isaiah is called "The Book of Salvation." The name Isaiah means "Yahweh is salvation" or “Yahweh is the source of salvation.” Isaiah, who is called the Prince of Prophets, shines above all the other writers and prophets of Scripture. His mastery of the language, his rich and vast vocabulary, and his poetic skill have earned him the title, "Shakespeare of the Bible." He was educated, distinguished, and privileged, yet remained a deeply spiritual man. He was committed to obedience over the long haul of his 55-60 year ministry as a prophet of God. He was a true patriot who loved his country and his people. Strong tradition suggests that he died a martyr’s death under the reign of King Manasseh by being placed within the hollow of a tree trunk and sawed in two. He was a contemporary of Amos, Hosea and Micah. As might be expected, salvation is the overarching theme in the book of Isaiah. Other themes include judgment, holiness, punishment, captivity, the fall of the nation, comfort, hope and salvation through the coming Messiah. The first 39 books of Isaiah contain very strong messages of judgment against Judah and a call to repentance and holiness. The people exhibited an outward form of godliness, but their hearts had become corrupted. God warned them through Isaiah, to come clean and purify themselves, but they ignored his message. Isaiah predicted the demise and captivity of Judah, yet comforted them with this hope: God has promised to provide a Redeemer. The last 27 chapters contain God's message of forgiveness, consolation and hope, as God speaks through Isaiah, revealing his plan of blessing and salvation through the coming Messiah.

    Jephthah The Vow Man And The Rest Series #4 02-18-2018 Hebrews 11:32 “And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah…” (NIV) *Jephthah is commended as a man of faith! Judges 10:6-8 6Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines. And because the Israelites forsook the Lord and no longer served him, 7he became angry with them. He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites, 8who that year shattered and crushed them. For eighteen years they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites. (NIV) *The Israelites had rebelled against God and were again subject to oppression. *They were in need of a godly leader. Judges 11:1-7 1Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior. His father was Gilead; his mother was a prostitute. 2Gilead’s wife also bore him sons, and when they were grown up, they drove Jephthah away. “You are not going to get any inheritance in our family,” they said, “because you are the son of another woman.” 3So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob, where a gang of scoundrels gathered around him and followed him. 4Some time later, when the Ammonites were fighting against Israel, 5the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.
