Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144Judah! "The Book of the Jubilees" which is also known by some as "Lesser Genesis" is a very interesting book as it gives us more background and how the background was given. We learned in part one that Moses received this word on Mount Sinai from an Angel/Malek (Messenger) of the LORD, in the second chapter, we learn about what God created and on which days...and we also learn that God's Chosen People: ISRAEL are to keep the Shabbats. To not do so is to die. Yesterday, we learned that Adam and Eve were cursed for taking from the tree in the middle of the Garden, then we go down the lines until we hit Noah and his family and learn that there were a lot more people born of Adam and Eve then we have heard of in Genesis. After this, Noah gets into the Ark and the waters begin to rise; which brings us to the 6th part of our study!
The Book Of Jubilees Chapter 6
Noah Went Forth From The Ark And Made Atonement
1 And on the new month of the third month he went forth from the ark, and built an altar on that mountain.
2 And he made atonement for the earth, and took a kid and made atonement by its blood for all the guilt of the earth; for everything that had been on it had been destroyed, save those that were in the ark with Noah.
3 And he placed the fat thereof on the altar, and he took an ox, and a goat, and a sheep and kids, and salt, and a turtle-dove, and the young of a dove, and placed a burnt sacrifice on the altar, and poured thereon an offering mingled with oil, and sprinkled wine and strewed frankincense over everything, and caused a goodly savior to arise, acceptable before YAHWEH.
4 And YAHWEH smelt the goodly savior, and He made a covenant with him that there should not be any more a flood to destroy the earth; that all the days of the earth seed-time and harvest should never cease; cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night should not change their order, nor cease forever.
5 'And you, increase you and multiply upon the earth, and become many upon it, and be a blessing upon it. The fear of you and the dread of you I will inspire in everything that is on earth and in the sea.
6 And behold I have given unto you all beasts, and all winged things, and everything that moves on the earth, and the fish in the waters, and all things for food; as the green herbs, I have given you all things to eat.
7 But flesh, with the life thereof, with the blood, you shall not eat; for the life of all flesh is in the blood, lest your blood of your lives be required. At the hand of every man, at the hand of every (beast) will I require the blood of man.
8 Whoso sheds man's blood by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of YAHWEH made He man.
9 And you, increase you, and multiply on the earth.'
10 And Noah and his sons swore that they would not eat any blood that was in any flesh, and he made a covenant before YAHWEH forever throughout all the generations of the earth in this month. (So, it looks like all of you that eat your steak raw need to cook it longer.)
11 On this account He spoke to you that you should make a covenant with the children of Yisrael in this month upon the mountain with an oath, and that you should sprinkle blood upon them because of all the words of the covenant, which YAHWEH made with them forever.
12 And this testimony is written concerning you that you should observe it continually, so that you should not eat on any day any blood of beasts or birds or cattle during all the days of the earth, and the man who eats the blood of beast or of cattle or of birds during all the days of the earth, he and his seed shall be rooted out of the land.
13 And do you command the children of Yisrael to eat no blood, so that their names and their seed may be before YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler continually.
14 And for this Torah there is no limit of days, for it is forever. They shall observe it throughout their generations, so that they may continue supplicating on your behalf with blood before the altar; every day and at the time of morning and evening they shall seek forgiveness on your behalf perpetually before YAHWEH that they may keep it and not be rooted out. (It looks like prayer each morning and each evening)
15 And He gave to Noah and his sons a sign that there should not again be a flood on the earth.
16 He set His bow in the cloud for a sign of the eternal covenant that there should not again be a flood on the earth to destroy it all the days of the earth. (The real reason for the Rainbow)
17 For this reason it is ordained and written on the heavenly tablets, that they should celebrate the "Feast of Weeks" in this month once a year, to renew the covenant every year.
Bing Search:
The Feast of Weeks, also known as Shavuot, holds a significant place in Jewish tradition. Let me share some insights about this special occasion:
Biblical Origins:
1. Shavout is one of the biblically-ordained Three Pilgrimage Festivals.
2. In the Bible, Shavout marked the wheat harvest in ancient Israel.
3. Additionally, rabbinic tradition teaches that this date also commemorates the revelation of the Torah to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
4. According to Orthodox Judaism, this momentous events took place around 1312 BCE.
Counting of the Omer:
Shavuot is intricately linked to Passover.
The Torah mandates a seven-week Counting of the OMer, starting from the second day of Passover and culminating in Shavuot.
This symbolizes anticipation and desire for the giving of the Torah.
On Passover, the Israelites were freed from slavery; on Shavuot, they received the Torah and became a nation devoted to serving God.
Not the same as Christian Pentecost:
Although Shavuot is sometimes referred to as Pentecost, it is distinct from the Christian Pentecost.
Shavuot occurs fifty days after Passover, while Christian Pentecost follows Easter by fifty days.
The term "Pentecost" itself means "fiftieth" in Greek.
Celebration:
Shavuot is traditionally celebrated in Israel for on day (a public holiday) and for two days in the diaspora.
It is a time to reflect on the gift of Torah and the covenant between God and the Jewish people.
In summary, Shavuot, the Festival of Weeks, marks both the agricultural bounty and the spiritual revelation--a beautiful blend of tradition, history, and gratitude.
21 For it is the "Feast of Weeks" and the "Feast of First Fruits:" this feast is twofold and of a double nature: according to what is written and engraved concerning it, celebrate it. (So, mark your calendar for either April 24 or April 28, and celebrate the significance of First Fruits! 🌾🍇🌿)
22 For I have written in the book of the first Torah, in that which I have written for you, that you should celebrate it in its season, one day in the year, and I explained to you its sacrifices that the children of Yisrael should remember and should celebrate it throughout their generations in this month, one day in every year. (So, this is pretty clear on the fact that we should be celebrating this day even today.)
23 And on the new month of the first month, and on the new month of the fourth month, and on the new month of the seventh month, and on the new month of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained as a testimony forever. (These are 4 other days...which are separated by seasons... I'm thinking the solstices and equinoxes)
24 And Noah ordained them for himself as feasts for the generations forever, so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him.
25 And on the new month of the first month he was bidden to make for himself an ark, and on that (day) the earth became dry and he opened (the ark) and saw the earth. (These are all done on the sighting of the new moon which denotes the first day of the new month)
26 And on the new month of the fourth month the mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed. And on the new month of the seventh month all the mouths of the abysses of the earth were opened, and the waters began to descend into them.
27 And on the new month of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen, and Noah was glad.
28 And on this account he ordained them for himself as feasts for a memorial forever, and thus are they ordained.
29 And they placed them on the heavenly tablets, each had thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the third to the fourth.
30 And all the days of the commandment will be fifty two weeks of days, and (these will make) the entire year complete. Thus it is engraved and ordained on the heavenly tablets.
31 And there is no neglecting (this commandment) for a single year or from year to year.
32 And command you the children of Yisrael that they observe the years according to this reckoning- three hundred and sixty-four days, and (these) will constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their testimony, and they will not leave out any day nor disturb any feasts.
33 But if they do neglect and do not observe them according to His commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and the years will be dislodged from this (order), [and they will disturb the seasons and the years will be dislodged] and they will neglect their ordinances. (Well, we do have a rather messed up calendar. We no longer go by a biblical calendar, and we have days added and the months and the new year is all changed around. I guess this is one of satan's "big deceptions"...)
34 And all the children of Yisrael will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new months, and seasons, and Shabbats and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years. (Totally true)
35 For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto you, and it is not of my own devising; for the book is written before me, and on the heavenly tablets the division of days is ordained, lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk according to the feasts of the Gentiles after their error and after their ignorance.
36 For there will be those who will assuredly make observations of the moon -how it disturbs the seasons and comes in from year to year ten days too soon. (Yes!)
37 For this reason the years will come upon them when they will disturb (the order), and make an abominable (day) the day of testimony, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will confound all the days, the kodesh with the unclean, and the unclean day with the kodesh; for they will go wrong as to the months and Shabbats and feasts and jubilees. (We are completely off from this. The Sabbath is now observed on Sunday, and it isn't anything like the observation back in biblical times. Also, there really isn't a clear explanation as to why. Some think that since Yeshua rose on Sunday that this makes it for a new fulfillment of the covenant. So the old law and observations are changed...)
38 For this reason I command and testify to you that you may testify to them; for after your death your children will disturb them, so that they will not make the year three hundred and sixty-four days only, and for this reason they will go wrong as to the new months and seasons and Shabbats and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.
So, we have completely messed up again. And, it didn't take too long either. You would think since Noah's family was on the actual Ark that they would take heed to what God had to say. But... nope. What do you think? Let me know @ theawakeningtalk@gmail.com
