The Book of Yasher (Jasher) Parts 83 and 84
Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144Judah! We are now on "The Book of Yasher" (Jasher). This is an apocryphal text, meaning it was taken out of the bible. This book is included in some versions still today. One of the biggest reasons for doing this: it is referenced in three sections in the bible. Why would they take a book out that has been referenced? Well, we know that they did this also to Enoch, and Enoch is a very important book. I tend to find when "official" people don't include something, it means they don't want us to know what's what. And...me, being me, doesn't like that. So, pull up a chair, and put your thinking cap on. Better yet, put your feeling cap on, and let me know what you feel about this! Any questions? Email me at theawakeningtalk@gmail.com.
83 AARON AND SONS TO SERVE YAHWEH
Aaron and his Sons are Placed in charge of YAHWEH's Service. The Sacrifices and Offerings. The Passover is Celebrated. The People lust for Flesh to eat. Their punishment. Mosheh sends Twelve Men to explore the Land of Canaan. Ten of them bring an Evil Report, and the People want to Return to Egypt. For their Lack of Faith that Generation shall not Live to obtain their Possessions.
1 And in the twelfth month, in the twenty-third day of the month, Mosheh took Aaron and his sons, and he dressed them in their garments, and anointed them and did unto them as YAHWEH had commanded him, and Mosheh brought up all the offerings which YAHWEH had on that day commanded him. (Reminds me of the 12 Disciples with Yeshua)
2 Mosheh afterward took Aaron and his sons and said to them, For seven days shall you remain at the door of the tabernacle, for thus am I commanded.
3 And Aaron and his sons did all that YAHWEH had commanded them through Mosheh, and they remained for seven days at the door of the tabernacle.
4 And on the eighth day, being the first day of the first month, in the second year from the Yisraelites' departure from Egypt, Mosheh erected the sanctuary, and Mosheh put up all the furniture of the tabernacle and all the furniture of the sanctuary, and he did all that YAHWEH had commanded him.
5 And Mosheh called to Aaron and his sons, and they brought the burnt offering and the sin offering for themselves and the children of Yisrael, as YAHWEH had commanded Mosheh.
6 On that day the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took strange fire and brought it before YAHWEH who had not commanded them, and a fire went forth from before YAHWEH, and consumed them, and they died before YAHWEH on that day. (Hmmm)
7 Then on the day when Mosheh had completed to erect the sanctuary, the princes of the children of Yisrael began to bring their offerings before YAHWEH for the dedication of the altar.
8 And they brought up their offerings each prince for one day, a prince each day for twelve days.
9 And all the offerings which they brought, each man in his day, one silver charger weighing one hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels after the shekel of the sanctuary, both of them full of fine flour, mingled with oil for a meat offering.
10 One spoon, weighing ten shekels of gold, full of incense.
11 One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of the first year for a burnt offering.
12 And one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
13 And for a sacrifice of peace offering, two oxen, five rams, five he-goats, five lambs of a year old.
14 Thus did the twelve princes of Yisrael day by day, each man in his day.
15 And it was after this, in the thirteenth day of the month, that Mosheh commanded the children of Yisrael to observe the Passover.
16 And the children of Yisrael kept the Passover in its season in the fourteenth day of the month, as YAHWEH had commanded Mosheh, so did the children of Yisrael.
17 And in the second month, on the first day thereof, YAHWEH spoke unto Mosheh, saying,
18 Number the heads of all the males of the children of Yisrael from twenty years old and upward, you and your brother Aaron and the twelve princes of Yisrael.
19 And Mosheh did so, and Aaron came with the twelve princes of Yisrael, and they numbered the children of Yisrael in the wilderness of Sinai.
20 And the numbers of the children of Yisrael by the houses of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty.
21 But the children of Levi were not numbered among their brethren the children of Yisrael.
22 And the number of all the males of the children of Yisrael from one month old and upward, was twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.
23 And the number of the children of Levi from one month old and above, was twenty-two thousand.
24 And Mosheh placed the priests and the Levites each man to his service and to his burden to serve the sanctuary of the tabernacle, as YAHWEH had commanded Mosheh.
25 And on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was taken away from the tabernacle of testimony.
26 At that time the children of Yisrael continued their journey from the wilderness of Sinai, and they took a journey of three days, and the cloud rested upon the wilderness of Paran; there the anger of YAHWEH was kindled against Yisrael, for they had provoked YAHWEH in asking him for meat, that they might eat.
27 And YAHWEH hearkened to their voice, and gave them meat which they ate for one month.
28 But after this the anger of YAHWEH was kindled against them, and he smote them with a great slaughter, and they were buried there in that place.
29 And the children of Yisrael called that place Kebroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted flesh.
30 And they departed from Kebroth Hattaavah and pitched in Hazeroth, which is in the wilderness of Paran.
31 And while the children of Yisrael were in Hazeroth, the anger of YAHWEH was kindled against Miriam on account of Mosheh, and she became leprous, white as snow. (She was aflicted because she had been speaking about Moses' marriage to a Cushite woman - This is also in Numbers 12:1-10)
32 And she was confined without the camp for seven days, until she had been received again after her leprosy.
33 The children of Yisrael afterward departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the end of the wilderness of Paran.
34 At that time, YAHWEH spoke to Mosheh to send twelve men from the children of Yisrael, one man to a tribe, to go and explore the land of Canaan.
35 And Mosheh sent the twelve men, and they came to the land of Canaan to search and examine it, and they explored the whole land from the wilderness of Sin to Rechob as you come to Chamoth.
36 And at the end of forty days they came to Mosheh and Aaron, and they brought him word as it was in their hearts, and ten of the men brought up an evil report to the children of Yisrael, of the land which they had explored, saying, It is better for us to return to Egypt than to go to this land, a land that consumes its inhabitants.
37 But Yahshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephuneh, who were of those that explored the land, said, The land is exceedingly good. (Good thing Yahshua (Joshua) wasn't an idiot. lol)
38 If YAHWEH delight in us, then he will bring us to this land and give it to us, for it is a land flowing with milk and honey.
39 But the children of Yisrael would not hearken to them, and they hearkened to the words of the ten men who had brought up an evil report of the land.
40 And YAHWEH heard the murmurings of the children of Yisrael and he was angry and swore, saying,
41 Surely not one man of this wicked generation shall see the land from twenty years old and upward excepting Caleb the son of Jephuneh and Yahshua the son of Nun.
42 But surely this wicked generation shall perish in this wilderness, and their children shall come to the land and they shall possess it; so the anger of YAHWEH was kindled against Yisrael, and he made them wander in the wilderness for forty years until the end of that wicked generation, because they did not follow YAHWEH.
43 And the people dwelt in the wilderness of Paran a long time, and they afterward proceeded to the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea. (What a mess... Nothing like a bunch of people that are ungrateful and couldn't see what was in front of them. What is hard for me to believe is that Moses did all of those things with Yahweh, and the people didn't believe... The Red Sea moment, the plagues... all of it, and when Moses says he is going to bring them to the land of milk and honey the people are like, No... we'd rather go back to Egypt. WHAT?! Crazy. )
84 EARTH SWALLOWS UP THE REBELLIOUS
The Earth Swallows up the Rebellious. The Children of Yisrael commanded not to War with the Children of Esau, or Moab. The Edomites will not let Yisrael pass through their Land.
1 At that time Korah the son of Jetzer the son of Kehath the son of Levi, took many men of the children of Yisrael, and they rose up and quarreled with Mosheh and Aaron and the whole congregation.
2 And YAHWEH was angry with them, and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, with their houses and all belonging to them, and all the men belonging to Korah.
3 And after this YAHWEH made the people go round by the way of Mount Seir for a long time.
4 At that time YAHWEH said unto Mosheh, Provoke not a war against the children of Esau, for I will not give to you of any thing belonging to them, as much as the sole of the foot could tread upon, for I have given Mount Seir for an inheritance to Esau.
5 Therefore did the children of Esau fight against the children of Seir in former times, and YAHWEH had delivered the children of Seir into the hands of the children of Esau, and destroyed them from before them, and the children of Esau dwelt in their stead unto this day.
6 Therefore YAHWEH said to the children of Yisrael, Fight not against the children of Esau your brethren, for nothing in their land belongs to you, but you may buy food of them for money and eat it, and you may buy water of them for money and drink it.
7 And the children of Yisrael did according to the word of YAHWEH.
8 And the children of Yisrael went about the wilderness, going round by the way of Mount Sinai for a long time, and touched not the children of Esau, and they continued in that district for nineteen years.
9 At that time died Latinus king of the children of Chittim, in the forty-fifth year of his reign, which is the fourteenth year of the children of Yisrael's departure from Egypt.
10 And they buried him in his place which he had built for himself in the land of Chittim, and Abimnas reigned in his place for thirty-eight years.
11 And the children of Yisrael passed the boundary of the children of Esau in those days, at the end of nineteen years, and they came and passed the road of the wilderness of Moab.
12 And YAHWEH said to Mosheh, besiege not Moab, and do not fight against them, for I will give you nothing of their land.
13 And the children of Yisrael passed the road of the wilderness of Moab for nineteen years, and they did not fight against them.
14 And in the thirty-sixth year of the children of Yisrael's departing from Egypt YAHWEH smote the heart of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and he waged war, and went forth to fight against the children of Moab.
15 And Sihon sent messengers to Beor the son of Janeas, the son of Balaam, counsellor to the king of Egypt, and to Balaam his son, to curse Moab, in order that it might be delivered into the hand of Sihon.
16 And the messengers went and brought Beor the son of Janeas, and Balaam his son, from Pethor in Mesopotamia, so Beor and Balaam his son came to the city of Sihon and they cursed Moab and their king in the presence of Sihon king of the Amorites.
17 So Sihon went out with his whole army, and he went to Moab and fought against them, and he subdued them, and YAHWEH delivered them into his hands, and Sihon slew the king of Moab.
18 And Sihon took all the cities of Moab in the battle; he also took Heshbon from them, for Heshbon was one of the cities of Moab, and Sihon placed his princes and his nobles in Heshbon, and Heshbon belonged to Sihon in those days.
19 Therefore the parable speakers Beor and Balaam his son uttered these words, saying, Come unto Heshbon, the city of Sihon will be built and established.
20 Woe unto you Moab! you are lost, O people of Kemosh! behold it is written upon the book of the law of YAHWEH.
21 And when Sihon had conquered Moab, he placed guards in the cities which he had taken from Moab, and a considerable number of the children of Moab fell in battle into the hand of Sihon, and he made a great capture of them, sons and daughters, and he slew their king; so Sihon turned back to his own land.
22 And Sihon gave numerous presents of silver and gold to Beor and Balaam his son, and he dismissed them, and they went to Mesopotamia to their home and country.
23 At that time all the children of Yisrael passed from the road of the wilderness of Moab, and returned and surrounded the wilderness of Edom.
24 So the whole congregation came to the wilderness of Sin in the first month of the fortieth year from their departure from Egypt, and the children of Yisrael dwelt there in Kadesh, of the wilderness of Sin, and Miriam died there and she was buried there.
25 At that time Mosheh sent messengers to Hadad king of Edom, saying, Thus says your brother Yisrael, Let me pass I pray you through your land, we will not pass through field or vineyard, we will not drink the water of the well; we will walk in the king's road.
26 And Edom said to him, You shalt not pass through my country, and Edom went forth to meet the children of Yisrael with a mighty people. (A MIGHTY PEOPLE)
27 And the children of Esau refused to let the children of Yisrael pass through their land, so the Yisraelites removed from them and fought not against them.
28 For before this YAHWEH had commanded the children of Yisrael, saying, You shall not fight against the children of Esau, therefore the Yisraelites removed from them and did not fight against them.
29 So the children of Yisrael departed from Kadesh, and all the people came to Mount Hor.
30 At that time YAHWEH said to Mosheh, Tell your brother Aaron that he shall die there, for he shall not come to the land which I have given to the children of Yisrael.
31 And Aaron went up, at the command of YAHWEH, to Mount Hor, in the fortieth year, in the fifth month, in the first day of the month.
32 And Aaron was one hundred and twenty-three years old when he died in Mount Hor.
What do you think? 123 years old and Aaron dies in Mount Hor... How much does it stink that they went that entire time and didn't get to see the Promise Land?
