The Book of Yasher (Jasher) Parts 89, 90 and 91 (The End of Yasher)

The Book of Yasher (Jasher) Parts 89 and 90

 

    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. 

  

89 YAHSHUA's SONGS OF PRAISE

Yahshua's Song of Praise. The Wars of Yisrael.

1 Then spoke Yahshua this song, on the day that YAHWEH had given the Amorites into the hand of Yahshua and the children of Yisrael, and he said in the sight of all Yisrael,

2 You have done mighty things, O YAHWEH, you have performed great deeds; who is like unto you? my lips shall sing to your name.

3 My goodness and my fortress, my high tower, I will sing a new song unto you, with thanksgiving will I sing to you, you are the strength of my yeshua. (Salvation)

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, the princes of the world shall sing to you, the children of Yisrael shall rejoice in your yeshua, they shall sing and praise your power.

5 To you, O YAHWEH, did we confide; we said you are our Elohim, for you are our shelter and strong tower against our enemies.

6 To you we cry and are not ashamed, in you we trust and we are delivered; when we cry unto you, you hear our voice, you deliver our souls from the sword, you show unto us your free unmerited love, you give unto us your yeshua, you rejoice our hearts with you strength.

7 You go forth for our yeshua, with thine arm do you redeem your people; you answer us from the heavens of your holiness, you save us from ten thousands of people.

8 The sun and moon stood still in heaven, and you stand in your wrath against our oppressors and command your judgments over them.

9 All the princes of the earth stood up, the kings of the nations had gathered themselves together, they were not moved at your presence, they desired your battles.

10 You did rise against them in thine anger, and bring down you wrath upon them; you destroy them in thine anger, and cut them off in thine heart.

11 Nations have been consumed with your fury, kingdoms have declined because of your wrath, you did wound kings in the day of thine anger.

12 You pour out your fury upon them, your wrathful anger took hold of them; you turn their iniquity upon them, and cut them off in their wickedness.

13 They spread a trap, they fall therein, in the net they hide, their foot is caught.

14 Your hand is ready for all thine enemies who say, Through their sword they possessed the land, through their arm they dwell in the city; you fill their faces with shame, you bring their horns down to the ground, you did terrify them in your wrath, and you destroy them in thine anger.

15 The earth tremble and shakes at the sound of your storm over them, you do not withhold their souls from death, and you bring down their lives to the grave.

16 You did pursue them in your storm, you did consume them in your whirlwind, you did turn their rain into hail, they fell in deep pits so that they could not rise.

17 Their carcasses are like rubbish cast out in the middle of the streets.

18 They are consumed and destroyed in thine anger, you did save your people with your might.

19 Therefore our hearts rejoice in you, our souls exalt in your yeshua.

20 Our tongues shall relate your might, we will sing and praise your wondrous works.

21 For you did save us from our enemies, you did deliver us from those who rose up against us, you did destroy them from before us and depress them beneath our feet.

22 Thus shall all thine enemies perish O YAHWEH, and the wicked shall be like chaff driven by the wind, and your beloved shall be like trees planted by the waters.

23 So Yahshua and all Yisrael with him returned to the camp in Gilgal, after having smitten all the kings, so that not a remnant was left of them.

24 And the five kings fled alone on foot from battle, and hid themselves in a cave, and Yahshua sought for them in the field of battle, and did not find them.

25 And it was afterward told to Yahshua, saying, The kings are found and behold they are hidden in a cave.

26 And Yahshua said, Appoint men to be at the mouth of the cave, to guard them, lest they take themselves away; and the children of Yisrael did so.

27 And Yahshua called to all Yisrael and said to the officers of battle, Place your feet upon the necks of these kings, and Yahshua said, So shall YAHWEH do to all your enemies.

28 And Yahshua commanded afterward that they should slay the kings and cast them into the cave, and to put great stones at the mouth of the cave.

29 And Yahshua went afterward with all the people that were with him on that day to Makkedah, and he smote it with the edge of the sword.

30 And he utterly destroyed the souls and all belonging to the city, and he did to the king and people thereof as he had done to Jericho.

31 And he passed from there to Libnah and he fought against it, and YAHWEH delivered it into his hand, and Yahshua smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls thereof, and he did to it and to the king thereof as he had done to Jericho.

32 And from there he passed on to Lachish to fight against it, and Horam king of Gaza went up to assist the men of Lachish, and Yahshua smote him and his people until there was none left to him.

33 And Yahshua took Lachish and all the people thereof, and he did to it as he had done to Libnah.

34 And Yahshua passed from there to Eglon, and he took that also, and he smote it and all the people thereof with the edge of the sword.

35 And from there he passed to Hebron and fought against it and took it and utterly destroyed it, and he returned from there with all Yisrael to Debir and fought against it and smote it with the edge of the sword.

36 And he destroyed every soul in it, he left none remaining, and he did to it and the king thereof as he had done to Jericho.

37 And Yahshua smote all the kings of the Amorites from Kadesh-barnea to Azah, and he took their country at once, for YAHWEH had fought for Yisrael.

38 And Yahshua with all Yisrael came to the camp to Gilgal.

39 When at that time Jabin king of Chazor heard all that Yahshua had done to the kings of the Amorites, Jabin sent to Jobat king of Midian, and to Laban king of Shimron, to Jephal king of Achshaph, and to all the kings of the Amorites, saying,

40 Come quickly to us and help us, that we may smite the children of Yisrael, before they come upon us and do unto us as they have done to the other kings of the Amorites.

41 And all these kings hearkened to the words of Jabin, king of Chazor, and they went forth with all their camps, seventeen kings, and their people were as numerous as the sand on the sea shore, together with horses and chariots innumerable, and they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, and they were met together to fight against Yisrael.

42 And YAHWEH said to Yahshua, Fear them not, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver them up all slain before you, you shalt hough their horses and burn their chariots with fire.

43 And Yahshua with all the men of war came suddenly upon them and smote them, and they fell into their hands, for YAHWEH had delivered them into the hands of the children of Yisrael.

44 So the children of Yisrael pursued all these kings with their camps, and smote them until there was none left of them, and Yahshua did to them as YAHWEH had spoken to him.

45 And Yahshua returned at that time to Chazor and smote it with the sword and destroyed every soul in it and burned it with fire, and from Chazor, Yahshua passed to Shimron and smote it and utterly destroyed it.

46 From there he passed to Achshaph and he did to it as he had done to Shimron.

47 From there he passed to Adulam and he smote all the people in it, and he did to Adulam as he had done to Achshaph and to Shimron.

48 And he passed from them to all the cities of the kings which he had smitten, and he smote all the people that were left of them and he utterly destroyed them.

49 Only their booty and cattle the Yisraelites took to themselves as a prey, but every human being they smote, they suffered not a soul to live.

50 As YAHWEH had commanded Mosheh so did Yahshua and all Yisrael, they failed not in anything.

51 So Yahshua and all the children of Yisrael smote the whole land of Canaan as YAHWEH had commanded them, and smote all their kings, being thirty and one kings, and the children of Yisrael took their whole country.

52 Besides the kingdoms of Sihon and Og which are on the other side Jordan, of which Mosheh had smitten many cities, and Mosheh gave them to the Reubenites and the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh.

53 And Yahshua smote all the kings that were on this side Jordan to the west, and gave them for an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Yisrael.

54 For five years did Yahshua carry on the war with these kings, and he gave their cities to the Yisraelites, and the land became tranquil from battle throughout the cities of the Amorites and the Canaanites.

90 LAND DIVIDED & REST

The Edomites are Smitten by Chittim. The Land is Divided, and the people have Rest. Yahshua being Advanced in Years Exhorts the people to Observe all the Laws of Mosheh, and then Dies.

1 At that time in the fifth year after the children of Yisrael had passed over Jordan, after the children of Yisrael had rested from their war with the Canaanites, at that time great and severe battles arose between Edom and the children of Chittim, and the children of Chittim fought against Edom.

2 And Abianus king of Chittim went forth in that year, that is in the thirty-first year of his reign, and a great force with him of the mighty men of the children of Chittim, and he went to Seir to fight against the children of Esau.

3 And Hadad the king of Edom heard of his report, and he went forth to meet him with a heavy people and strong force, and engaged in battle with him in the field of Edom.

4 And the hand of Chittim prevailed over the children of Esau, and the children of Chittim slew of the children of Esau, two and twenty thousand men, and all the children of Esau fled from before them.

5 And the children of Chittim pursued them and they reached Hadad king of Edom, who was running before them and they caught him alive, and brought him to Abianus king of Chittim.

6 And Abianus ordered him to be slain, and Hadad king of Edom died in the forty-eighth year of his reign.

7 And the children of Chittim continued their pursuit of Edom, and they smote them with a great slaughter and Edom became subject to the children of Chittim.

8 And the children of Chittim ruled over Edom, and Edom became under the hand of the children of Chittim and became one kingdom from that day.

9 And from that time they could no more lift up their heads, and their kingdom became one with the children of Chittim.

10 And Abianus placed officers in Edom and all the children of Edom became subject and tributary to Abianus, and Abianus turned back to his own land, Chittim.

11 And when he returned he renewed his government and built for himself a spacious and fortified palace for a royal residence, and reigned securely over the children of Chittim and over Edom.

12 In those days, after the children of Yisrael had driven away all the Canaanites and the Amorites, Yahshua was old and advanced in years.

13 And YAHWEH said to Yahshua, You are old, advanced in life, and a great part of the land remains to be possessed.

14 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Manasseh, and Yahshua rose up and did as YAHWEH had spoken to him.

15 And he divided the whole land to the tribes of Yisrael as an inheritance according to their divisions.

16 But to the tribe at Levi he gave no inheritance, the offerings of YAHWEH are their inheritance as YAHWEH had spoken of them by the hand of Mosheh.

17 And Yahshua gave Mount Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephuneh, one portion above his brethren, as YAHWEH had spoken through Mosheh. (Tribe of Judah)

18 Therefore Hebron became an inheritance to Caleb and his children unto this day.

19 And Yahshua divided the whole land by lots to all Yisrael for an inheritance, as YAHWEH had commanded him.

20 And the children of Yisrael gave cities to the Levites from their own inheritance, and suburbs for their cattle, and property, as YAHWEH had commanded Mosheh so did the children of Yisrael, and they divided the land by lot whether great or small.

21 And they went to inherit the land according to their boundaries, and the children of Yisrael gave to Yahshua the son of Nun an inheritance among them.

22 By the word of YAHWEH did they give to him the city which he required, Timnath-serach in Mount Ephraim, and he built the city and dwelt therein.

23 These are the inheritances which Elazer the priest and Yahshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers of the tribes portioned out to the children of Yisrael by lot in Shiloh, before YAHWEH, at the door of the tabernacle, and they left off dividing the land.

24 And YAHWEH gave the land to the Yisraelites, and they possessed it as YAHWEH had spoken to them, and as YAHWEH had sworn to their ancestors.

25 And YAHWEH gave to the Yisraelites rest from all their enemies around them, and no man stood up against them, and YAHWEH delivered all their enemies into their hands, and not one thing failed of all the good which YAHWEH had spoken to the children of Yisrael, yea YAHWEH performed every thing.

26 And Yahshua called to all the children of Yisrael and he blessed them, and commanded them to serve YAHWEH, and he afterward sent them away, and they went each man to his city, and each man to his inheritance.

27 And the children of Yisrael served YAHWEH all the days of Yahshua, and YAHWEH gave them rest from all around them, and they dwelt securely in their cities.

28 And it came to pass in those days, that Abianus king of Chittim died, in the thirty-eighth year of his reign, that is the seventh year of his reign over Edom, and they buried him in his place which he had built for himself, and Latinus reigned in his stead fifty years.

29 And during his reign he brought forth an army, and he went and fought against the inhabitants of Britannia and Kernania, the children of Elisha son of Javan, and he prevailed over them and made them tributary.

30 He then heard that Edom had revolted from under the hand of Chittim, and Latinus went to them and smote them and subdued them, and placed them under the hand of the children of Chittim, and Edom became one kingdom with the children of Chittim all the days.

31 And for many years there was no king in Edom, and their government was with the children of Chittim and their king.

32 And it was in the twenty-sixth year after the children of Yisrael had passed the Jordan, that is the sixty-sixth year after the children of Yisrael had departed from Egypt, that Yahshua was old, advanced in years, being one hundred and eight years old in those days.

33 And Yahshua called to all Yisrael, to their elders, their judges and officers, after YAHWEH had given to all the Yisraelites rest from all their enemies round about, and Yahshua said to the elders of Yisrael, and to their judges, Behold I am old, advanced in years, and you have seen what YAHWEH has done to all the nations whom he has driven away from before you, for it is YAHWEH who has fought for you.

34 Now therefore strengthen yourselves to keep and to do all the words of the law of Mosheh, not to deviate from it to the right or to the left, and not to come among those nations who are left in the land; neither shall you make mention of the name of their gods, but you shall cleave to YAHWEH your Elohim, as you have done to this day.

35 And Yahshua greatly exhorted the children of Yisrael to serve YAHWEH all their days.

36 And all the Yisraelites said, We will serve YAHWEH our Elohim all our days, we and our children, and our children's children, and our seed for ever.

37 And Yahshua made a covenant with the people on that day, and he sent away the children of Yisrael, and they went each man to his inheritance and to his city.

38 And it was in those days, when the children of Yisrael were dwelling securely in their cities, that they buried the coffins of the tribes of their ancestors, which they had brought up from Egypt, each man in the inheritance of his children, the twelve sons of Yacob did the children of Yisrael bury, each man in the possession of his children.

39 And these are the names of the cities wherein they buried the twelve sons of Yacob, whom the children of Yisrael had brought up from Egypt.

40 And they buried Reuben and Gad on this side Jordan, in Romia, which Mosheh had given to their children.

41 And Simeon and Levi they buried in the city Mauda, which he had given to the children of Simeon, and the suburb of the city was for the children of Levi.

42 And Yahudah they buried in the city of Benjamin opposite Bethlehem.

43 And the bones of Issachar and Zebulun they buried in Zidon, in the portion which fell to their children.

44 And Dan was buried in the city of his children in Eshtael, and Naphtali and Asher they buried in Kadesh-naphtali, each man in his place which he had given to his children.

45 And the bones of Yoseph they buried in Shechem, in the part of the field which Yacob had purchased from Hamor, and which became to Yoseph for an inheritance.

46 And they buried Benjamin in Yerusalem opposite the Jebusite, which was given to the children of Benjamin; the children of Yisrael buried their fathers each man in the city of his children.

47 And at the end of two years, Yahshua the son of Nun died, one hundred and ten years old, and the time which Yahshua judged Yisrael was twenty-eight years, and Yisrael served YAHWEH all the days of his life.

48 And the other affairs of Yahshua and his battles and his reproofs with which he reproved Yisrael, and all which he had commanded them, and the names of the cities which the children of Yisrael possessed in his days, behold they are written in the book of the words of Yahshua to the children of Yisrael, and in the book of the wars of YAHWEH, which Mosheh and Yahshua and the children of Yisrael had written.  (This was also found in the caves... Also notice they weren't in the bible as well)

49 And the children of Yisrael buried Yahshua in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-serach, which was given to him in Mount Ephraim.

50 And Elazer the son of Aaron died in those days, and they buried him in a hill belonging to Phineas his son, which was given him in Mount Ephraim.

91 ELDERS JUDGE YISRAEL

The Elders Judge Yisrael. They drive out all the Canaanites and Inherit the Promised Land.

1 At that time, after the death of Yahshua, the children of the Canaanites were still in the land, and the Yisraelites resolved to drive them out.

2 And the children of Yisrael asked of YAHWEH, saying, Who shall first go up for us to the Canaanites to fight against them? and YAHWEH said, Yahudah shall go up.

3 And the children of Yahudah said to Simeon, Go up with us into our lot, and we will fight against the Canaanites and we likewise will go up with you, in your lot, so the children of Simeon went with the children of Yahudah.

4 And the children of Yahudah went up and fought against the Canaanites, so YAHWEH delivered the Canaanites into the hands of the children of Yahudah, and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.

5 And they fought with Adonibezek in Bezek, and he fled from before them, and they pursued him and caught him, and they took hold of him and cut off his thumbs and great toes. (great toes?) --> In the Bible, the big toe symbolizes stability, foundation, and consecration. It represents crucial themes such as faith, humility, and spiritual growth.

6 And Adonibezek said, Three score and ten kings having their thumbs and great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table, as I have done, so YAHWEH has requited me, and they brought him to Yerusalem and he died there.

7 And the children of Simeon went with the children of Yahudah, and they smote the Canaanites with the edge of the sword.

8 And YAHWEH was with the children of Yahudah, and they possessed the mountain, and the children of Yoseph went up to Bethel, the same is Luz, and YAHWEH was with them.

9 And the children of Yoseph spied out Bethel, and the watchmen saw a man going forth from the city, and they caught him and said unto him, Show us now the entrance of the city and we will show kindness to you.

10 And that man showed them the entrance of the city, and the children of Yoseph came and smote the City with the edge of the sword.

11 And the man with his family they sent away, and he went to the Hittites and he built a city, and he called the name thereof Luz, so all the Yisraelites dwelt in their cities, and the children at Yisrael dwelt in their cities, and the children of Yisrael served YAHWEH all the days of Yahshua, and all the days of the elders, who had lengthened their days after Yahshua, and saw the great work of YAHWEH, which he had performed for Yisrael.

12 And the elders judged Yisrael after the death of Yahshua for seventeen years.

13 And all the elders also fought the battles of Yisrael against the Canaanites and YAHWEH drove the Canaanites from before the children of Yisrael, in order to place the Yisraelites in their land.

14 And he accomplished all the words which he had spoken to Abraham, Isaac, and Yacob, and the oath which he had sworn, to give to them and to their children, the land of the Canaanites.

15 And YAHWEH gave to the children of Yisrael the whole land of Canaan, as he had sworn to their ancestors, and YAHWEH gave them rest from those around them, and the children of Yisrael dwelt securely in their cities.

16 Blessed be YAHWEH for ever, HalleluYah, and HalleluYah.

17 Strengthen yourselves, and let the hearts of all you that trust in YAHWEH be of good courage.

 

THE END

WOW! So, that is the end of the Book of Yasher! That took quite a long while, and I am so glad that I read it.  I hope you got something out of it.  The parts that I loved about this book were mostly in the beginning that really filled in the Genesis story. I look forward to my next blog which I will be starting this weekend!  

I wonder where we will go next? 

I'll see you Friday!

87 YAHSHUA APPOINTED AS MOSHEH's SUCCESSOR

Mosheh appoints Yahshua his successor. YAHWEH encourages Yahshua. Mosheh teaches the children of Yisrael to Walk in the Way of YAHWEH. He goes up to Mount Abarim and dies there.

1 At that time YAHWEH said to Mosheh, Behold your days are approaching to an end, take now Yahshua the son of Nun your servant and place him in the tabernacle, and I will command him, and Mosheh did so.

2 And YAHWEH appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood at the entrance of the tabernacle.

3 And YAHWEH commanded Yahshua the son of Nun and said unto him, Be strong and courageous, for you shalt bring the children of Yisrael to the land which I swore to give them, and I will be with you.

4 And Mosheh said to Yahshua, Be strong and courageous, for you wilt make the children of Yisrael inherit the land, and YAHWEH will be with you, he will not leave you nor forsake you, be not afraid nor disheartened.

5 And Mosheh called to all the children of Yisrael and said to them, You have seen all the good which YAHWEH your Elohim has done for you in the wilderness.

6 Now therefore observe all the words of this law, and walk in the way of YAHWEH your Elohim, turn not from the way which YAHWEH has commanded you, either to the right or to the left.

7 And Mosheh taught the children of Yisrael statutes and judgments and laws to do in the land as YAHWEH had commanded him.

8 And he taught them the way of YAHWEH and his laws; behold they are written upon the book of the law of YAHWEH which he gave to the children of Yisrael by the hand of Mosheh.

9 And Mosheh finished commanding the children of Yisrael, and YAHWEH said to him, saying, Go up to the Mount Abarim and die there, and be gathered unto your people as Aaron your brother was gathered.

10 And Mosheh went up as YAHWEH had commanded him, and he died there in the land of Moab by the order of YAHWEH, in the fortieth year from the Yisraelites going forth from the land of Egypt.

11 And the children of Yisrael wept for Mosheh in the plains of Moab for thirty days, and the days of weeping and mourning for Mosheh were completed.

88 PASS OVER YARDEN

YAHWEH commands Yahshua to prepare the People to pass over Jordan to possess the Land. Jericho is Besieged, Taken, and Destroyed. Achan brings evil upon the camp by Purloining the cursed thing, and Brings Destruction upon Himself. All is taken and Destroyed. The Gibeonites cunningly save themselves. Five Kings rise up against Yisrael and are destroyed. The Sun and Moon stand still at Yahshua's Command.

1 And it was after the death of Mosheh that YAHWEH said to Yahshua the son of Nun, saying,

2 Rise up and pass the Jordan to the land which I have given to the children of Yisrael, and you shalt make the children of Yisrael inherit the land.

3 Every place upon which the sole of your feet shall tread shall belong to you, from the wilderness of Lebanon unto the great river the river of Perath shall be your boundary.

4 No man shall stand up against you all the days of your life; as I was with Mosheh, so will I be with you, only be strong and of good courage to observe all the law which Mosheh commanded you, turn not from the way either to the right or to the left, in order that you may prosper in all that you do.

5 And Yahshua commanded the officers of Yisrael, saying, Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, Prepare for yourselves provisions, for in three days more you will pass the Jordan to possess the land.

6 And the officers of the children of Yisrael did so, and they commanded the people and they did all that Yahshua had commanded.

7 And Yahshua sent two men to spy out the land of Jericho, and the men went and spied out Jericho.

8 And at the end of seven days they came to Yahshua in the camp and said to him, YAHWEH has delivered the whole land into our hand, and the inhabitants thereof are melted with fear because of us.

9 And it came to pass after that, that Yahshua rose up in the morning and all Yisrael with him, and they journeyed from Shittim, and Yahshua and all Yisrael with him passed the Jordan; and Yahshua was eighty-two years old when he passed the Jordan with Yisrael.

10 And the people went up from Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped in Gilgal at the eastern corner of Jericho.

11 And the children of Yisrael kept the Passover in Gilgal, in the plains of Jericho, on the fourteenth day at the month, as it is written in the law of Mosheh.

12 And the manna ceased at that time on the morrow of the Passover, and there was no more manna for the children of Yisrael, and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan.

13 And Jericho was entirely closed against the children of Yisrael, no one came out or went in.

14 And it was in the second month, on the first day of the month, that YAHWEH said to Yahshua, Rise up, behold I have given Jericho into your hand with all the people thereof; and all your fighting men shall go round the city, once each day, thus shall you do for six days.

15 And the priests shall blow upon trumpets, and when you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall give a great shouting, that the walls of the city shall fall down; all the people shall go up every man against his opponent.

16 And Yahshua did so according to all that YAHWEH had commanded him.

17 And on the seventh day they went round the city seven times, and the priests blew upon trumpets.

18 And at the seventh round, Yahshua said to the people, Shout, for YAHWEH has delivered the whole city into our hands.

19 Only the city and all that it contains shall be accursed to YAHWEH, and keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest you make the camp of Yisrael accursed and trouble it.

20 But all the silver and gold and brass and iron shall be consecrated to YAHWEH, they shall come into the treasury of YAHWEH.

21 And the people blew upon trumpets and made a great shouting, and the walls of Jericho fell down, and all the people went up, every man straight before him, and they took the city and utterly destroyed all that was in it, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword. (Why would God want the people all murdered? Especially with "Thou Shall Not Murder..." ? )

22 And they burned the whole city with fire; only the vessels of silver and gold, and brass and iron, they put into the treasury of YAHWEH.

23 And Yahshua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man who builds Jericho; he shall lay the foundation thereof in his first-born, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates thereof.

24 And Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, son of Yahudah, dealt treacherously in the accursed thing, and he took of the accursed thing and hid it in the tent, and the anger of YAHWEH was kindled against Yisrael. (Well that was dumb)

25 And it was after this when the children of Yisrael had returned from burning Jericho, Yahshua sent men to spy out also Ai, and to fight against it. (I find it so weird that this place is called Ai... I really feel like this is a massive omen of things to come)

26 And the men went up and spied out Ai, and they returned and said, Let not all the people go up with you to Ai, only let about three thousand men go up and smite the city, for the men thereof are but few.

27 And Yahshua did so, and there went up with him of the children of Yisrael about three thousand men, and they fought against the men of Ai.

28 And the battle was severe against Yisrael, and the men of Ai smote thirty-six men of Yisrael, and the children of Yisrael fled from before the men of Ai.

29 And when Yahshua saw this thing, he tore his garments and fell upon his face to the ground before YAHWEH, he, with the elders of Yisrael, and they put dust upon their heads.

30 And Yahshua said, Why O YAHWEH did you bring this people over the Jordan? what shall I say after the Yisraelites have turned their backs against their enemies?

31 Now therefore all the Canaanites, inhabitants of the land, will hear this thing, and surround us and cut off our name.

32 And YAHWEH said to Yahshua, Why did you fall upon your face? rise, get you off, for the Yisraelites have sinned, and taken of the accursed thing; I will no more be with them unless they destroy the accursed thing from among them.

33 And Yahshua rose up and assembled the people, and brought the Urim by the order of YAHWEH, and the tribe of Yahudah was taken, and Achan the son of Carmi was taken.

34 And Yahshua said to Achan, Tell me my son, what have you done, and Achan said, I saw among the spoil a goodly garment of Shinar (I wonder if this is Esau's clothes/the Original clothes of Adam and Eve?) and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight; I coveted them and took them, and behold they are all hid in the earth in the midst of the tent.

35 And Yahshua sent men who went and took them from the tent of Achan, and they brought them to Yahshua.

36 And Yahshua took Achan and these utensils, and his sons and daughters and all belonging to him, and they brought them into the valley of Achor.

37 And Yahshua burned them there with fire, and all the Yisraelites stoned Achan with stones, and they raised over him a heap of stones, therefore did he call that place the valley of Achor, so YAHWEH's anger was appeased, and Yahshua afterward came to the city and fought against it. (Why? This makes me wonder if the name Yahweh was put on something else...)

38 And YAHWEH said to Yahshua, Fear not, neither be you dismayed, behold I have given into your hand Ai, her king and her people, and you shalt do unto them as you did to Jericho and her king, only the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall you take for a prey for yourselves; lay an ambush for the city behind it.

39 So Yahshua did according to the word of YAHWEH, and he chose from among the sons of war thirty thousand valiant men, and he sent them, and they lay in ambush for the city.

40 And he commanded them, saying, When you shall see us we will flee before them with cunning, and they will pursue us, you shall then rise out of the ambush and take the city, and they did so.

41 And Yahshua fought, and the men of the city went out toward Yisrael, not knowing that they were lying in ambush for them behind the city.

42 And Yahshua and all the Yisraelites feigned themselves wearied out before them, and they fled by the way of the wilderness with cunning.

43 And the men of Ai gathered all the people who were in the city to pursue the Yisraelites, and they went out and were drawn away from the city, not one remained, and they left the city open and pursued the Yisraelites.

44 And those who were lying in ambush rose up out of their places, and hastened to come to the city and took it and set it on fire, and the men of Ai turned back, and behold the smoke of the city ascended to the skies, and they had no means of retreating either one way or the other.

45 And all the men of Ai were in the midst of Yisrael, some on this side and some on that side, and they smote them so that not one of them remained.

46 And the children of Yisrael took Melosh king of Ai alive, and they brought him to Yahshua, and Yahshua hanged him on a tree and he died.

47 And the children of Yisrael returned to the city after having burned it, and they smote all those that were in it with the edge of the sword.

48 And the number of those that had fallen of the men of Ai, both man and woman, was twelve thousand; only the cattle and the spoil of the city they took to themselves, according to the word of YAHWEH to Yahshua.

49 And all the kings on this side Jordan, all the kings of Canaan, heard of the evil which the children of Yisrael had done to Jericho and to Ai, and they gathered themselves together to fight against Yisrael.

50 Only the inhabitants of Gibeon were greatly afraid of fighting against the Yisraelites lest they should perish, so they acted cunningly, and they came to Yahshua and to all Yisrael, and said unto them, We have come from a distant land, now therefore make a covenant with us.

51 And the inhabitants of Gibeon over-reached the children of Yisrael, and the children of Yisrael made a covenant with them, and they made peace with them, and the princes of the congregation swore unto them, but afterward the children of Yisrael knew that they were neighbors to them and were dwelling among them.

52 But the children of Yisrael slew them not; for they had sworn to them by YAHWEH, and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water.

53 And Yahshua said to them, Why did you deceive me, to do this thing to us? and they answered him, saying, Because it was told to your servants all that you had done to all the kings of the Amorites, and we were greatly afraid of our lives, and we did this thing.

54 And Yahshua appointed them on that day to hew wood and to draw water, and he divided them for slaves to all the tribes of Yisrael.

55 And when Adonizedek king of Yerusalem heard all that the children of Yisrael had done to Jericho and to Ai, he sent to Hoham king of Hebron and to Piram king at Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish and to Deber king of Eglon, saying,

56 Come up to me and help me, that we may smite the children of Yisrael and the inhabitants of Gibeon who have made peace with the children of Yisrael.

57 And they gathered themselves together and the five kings of the Amorites went up with all their camps, a mighty people numerous as the sand of the sea shore.

58 And all these kings came and encamped before Gibeon, and they began to fight against the inhabitants of Gibeon, and all the men of Gibeon sent to Yahshua, saying, Come up quickly to us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites have gathered together to fight against us.

59 And Yahshua and all the fighting people went up from Gilgal, and Yahshua came suddenly to them, and smote these five kings with a great slaughter.

60 And YAHWEH confounded them before the children at Yisrael, who smote them with a terrible slaughter in Gibeon, and pursued them along the way that goes up to Beth Horon unto Makkedah, and they fled from before the children of Yisrael.

61 And while they were fleeing, YAHWEH sent upon them hailstones from heaven, and more of them died by the hailstones, than by the slaughter of the children of Yisrael.

62 And the children of Yisrael pursued them, and they still smote them in the road, going on and smiting them.

63 And when they were smiting, the day was declining toward evening, and Yahshua said in the sight of all the people, Sun, stand you still upon Gibeon, and you moon in the valley of Ajalon, until the nation shall have revenged itself upon its enemies.

64 And YAHWEH hearkened to the voice of Yahshua, and the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and it stood still six and thirty moments, and the moon also stood still and hastened not to go down a whole day. (Wow...so clearly Yahshua had faith bigger than a mustard seed.)

65 And there was no day like that, before it or after it, that YAHWEH hearkened to the voice of a man, for YAHWEH fought for Yisrael.

The Book of Yasher (Jasher) Parts 67 and 68

 

The Book of Yasher (Jasher) Parts 67 and 68

 

    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. 

67 AARON IS BORN

Aaron is Born. On Account of Pharaoh's decree, many of the Sons of Yisrael live apart from their Wives. The King's counsellors devise another plan to lessen the number of Yisrael by drowning them. YAHWEH finds a means of preserving the Male Children.

1 There was a man in the land of Egypt of the seed of Levi, whose name was Amram, the son of Kehath, the son of Levi, the son of Yisrael.

2 And this man went and took a wife, namely Jochebed the daughter of Levi his father's sister, and she was one hundred and twenty-six years old, and he came unto her. (This always messes me up. lol But I will say, they got together with people in their own bloodline and in their own tribe... There are many reasons for that as you will see in further books of the bible. It is all about the blood.)

3 And the woman conceived and bare a daughter, and she called her name Miriam, because in those days the Egyptians had embittered the lives of the children of Yisrael. (Name: The name Miriam has Hebrew origin and can mean:

• "Drop of the sea"
• "Bitter"
• "Beloved"
• "Star of the sea"
• "Wished-for child"
• "Rebellion"  This will all make sense after you read the next few sections...)

4 And she conceived again and bare a son and she called his name Aaron, for in the days of her conception, Pharaoh began to spill the blood of the male children of Yisrael. (Name meaning: Aaron- mountain of strength)

5 In those days died Zepho the son of Eliphaz, son of Esau, king of Chittim, and Janeas reigned in his stead.

6 And the time that Zepho reigned over the children of Chittim was fifty years, and he died and was buried in the city of Nabna in the land of Chittim.

7 And Janeas, one of the mighty men of the children of Chittim, reigned after him and he reigned fifty years.

8 And it was after the death of the king of Chittim that Balaam the son of Beor fled from the land of Chittim, and he went and came to Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9 And Pharaoh received him with great honor, for he had heard of his wisdom, and he gave him presents and made him for a counsellor, and aggrandized him.

10 And Balaam dwelt in Egypt, in honor with all the nobles of the king, and the nobles exalted him, because they all coveted to learn his wisdom.

11 And in the hundred and thirtieth year of Yisrael's going down to Egypt, Pharaoh dreamed that he was sitting upon his kingly throne, and lifted up his eyes and saw an old man standing before him, and there were scales in the hands of the old man, such scales as are used by merchants.

12 And the old man took the scales and hung them before Pharaoh.

13 And the old man took all the elders of Egypt and all its nobles and great men, and he tied them together and put them in one scale.

14 And he took a milk kid and put it into the other scale, and the kid preponderated (Overpower by weight or by stronger influence or moral power.) over all.

15 And Pharaoh was astonished at this dreadful vision, why the kid should preponderate over all, and Pharaoh awoke and behold it was a dream.

16 And Pharaoh rose up early in the morning and called all his servants and related to them the dream, and the men were greatly afraid.

17 And the king said to all his wise men, Interpret I pray you the dream which I dreamed, that I may know it.

18 And Balaam the son of Beor answered the king and said unto him, This means nothing else but a great evil that will spring up against Egypt in the latter days.

19 For a son will be born to Yisrael who will destroy all Egypt and its inhabitants, and bring forth the Yisraelites from Egypt with a mighty hand.

20 Now therefore, O king, take counsel upon this matter, that you may destroy the hope of the children of Yisrael and their expectation, before this evil arise against Egypt. (I love it when people tell me that cycles don't exist... this is yet another cycle. So, what happened to Abraham? Remember Abraham's father was given a prophecy from one of Nimrod's people?  That there would be a child born that would be favored and take down the kingdom and then now of course this prophecy of Moses, and then later on the prophecies of Yeshua (Jesus)... all of these were said and all were told to kill the children. Interesting... And now we have abortions all over the place... What do you think about that?)

21 And the king said unto Balaam, And what shall we do unto Yisrael? surely after a certain manner did we at first counsel against them and could not prevail over them.

22 Now therefore give you also advice against them by which we may prevail over them.

23 And Balaam answered the king, saying, Send now and call your two counsellors, and we will see what their advice is upon this matter and afterward your servant will speak.

24 And the king sent and called his two counsellors Reuel (Jethro)  (VERY INTERESTING!  JETHRO is Moses father n law!) the Midianite and Job the Uzite, and they came and sat before the king.

25 And the king said to them, Behold you have both heard the dream which I have dreamed, and the interpretation thereof; now therefore give counsel and know and see what is to be done to the children of Yisrael, whereby we may prevail over them, before their evil shall spring up against us.

26 And Reuel (FRIEND OF GOD)(Jethro) the Midianite answered the king and said, May the king live, may the king live forever.

27 If it seem good to the king, let him desist from the Hebrews and leave them, and let him not stretch forth his hand against them.

28 For these are they whom YAHWEH chose in days of old, and took as the lot of his inheritance from among all the nations of the earth and the kings of the earth; and who is there that stretched his hand against them with impunity, of whom YAHWEH their Elohim was not avenged?

29 Surely you know that when Abraham went down to Egypt, Pharaoh, the former king of Egypt, saw Sarah his wife, and took her for a wife, because Abraham said, She is my sister, for he was afraid, lest the men of Egypt should slay him on account of his wife.

30 And when the king of Egypt had taken Sarah then YAHWEH smote him and his household with heavy plagues, until he restored unto Abraham his wife Sarah, then was he healed.

31 And Abimelech the Gerarite, king of the Philistines, YAHWEH punished on account of Sarah wife of Abraham, in stopping up every womb from man to beast.

32 When YAHWEH their Elohim came to Abimelech in the dream of night and terrified him in order that he might restore to Abraham Sarah whom he had taken, and afterward all the people of Gerar were punished on account of Sarah, and Abraham prayed to YAHWEH for them, and he was entreated of him, and he healed them.

33 And Abimelech feared all this evil that came upon him and his people, and he returned to Abraham his wife Sarah, and gave him with her many gifts.

34 He did so also to Isaac when he had driven him from Gerar, and YAHWEH had done wonderful things to him, that all the water courses of Gerar were dried up, and their productive trees did not bring forth.

35 Until Abimelech of Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Pichol the captain of his host, went to him and they bent and bowed down before him to the ground.

36 And they requested of him to supplicate for them, and he prayed to YAHWEH for them, and YAHWEH was entreated of him and he healed them.

37 Yacob also, the plain man, was delivered through his integrity from the hand of his brother Esau, and the hand of Laban the Syrian his mother's brother, who had sought his life; likewise from the hand of all the kings of Canaan who had come together against him and his children to destroy them, and YAHWEH delivered them out of their hands, that they turned upon them and smote them, for who had ever stretched forth his hand against them with impunity?

38 Surely Pharaoh the former, your father's father, raised Yoseph the son of Yacob above all the princes of the land of Egypt, when he saw his wisdom, for through his wisdom he rescued all the inhabitants of the land from the famine.

39 After which he ordered Yacob and his children to come down to Egypt, in order that through their virtue, the land of Egypt and the land of Goshen might be delivered from the famine.

40 Now therefore if it seem good in thine eyes, cease from destroying the children of Yisrael, but if it be not your will that they shall dwell in Egypt, send them forth from here, that they may go to the land of Canaan, the land where their ancestors sojourned.

41 And when Pharaoh heard the words of Jethro he was very angry with him, so that he rose with shame from the king's presence, and went to Midian, his land, and took Yoseph's stick with him. (HA! I was wondering when this would all come in play! So, the stick... or wand...or ROD! Whatever you want to call it, this is when Jethro got it. He took it. So, Joseph had the Rod, that was from the Ark. I assume that he got it from Jacob at some point, who would have gotten it from either Isaac or Abraham, whom had it when he used it with the PLOW... Do you remember now? This is all very exciting to me. This was something that was in The Garden of Eden. If you don't remember any of this, please see some of my first blogs from Genesis and The Lost Books of Adam and Eve or secret book.)

42 And the king said to Job the Uzite, What say you Job, and what is your advice respecting the Hebrews?

43 So Job said to the king, Behold all the inhabitants of the land are in your power, let the king do as it seems good in his eyes.

44 And the king said unto Balaam, What did you say, Balaam, speak your word that we may hear it.

45 And Balaam said to the king, Of all that the king has counselled against the Hebrews will they be delivered, and the king will not be able to prevail over them with any counsel.

46 For if you think to lessen them by the flaming fire, you can not prevail over them, for surely YAHWEH their Elohim delivered Abraham their father from Ur of the Chaldeans; and if you think to destroy them with a sword, surely Isaac their father was delivered from it, and a ram was placed in his stead.

47 And if with hard and rigorous labor you think to lessen them, you wilt not prevail even in this, for their father Yacob served Laban in all manner of hard work, and prospered.

48 Now therefore, O King, hear my words, for this is the counsel which is counselled against them, by which you wilt prevail over them, and from which you should not depart.

49 If it please the king let him order all their children which shall be born from this day forward, to be thrown into the water, for by this can you wipe away their name, for none of them, nor of their fathers, were tried in this manner. (VERY INTERESTING!)

50 And the king heard the words of Balaam, and the thing pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Balaam.

51 And the king ordered a proclamation to be issued and a law to be made throughout the land of Egypt, saying, Every male child born to the Hebrews from this day forward shall be thrown into the water.

52 And Pharaoh called unto all his servants, saying, Go now and seek throughout the land of Goshen where the children of Yisrael are, and see that every son born to the Hebrews shall be cast into the river, but every daughter you shall let live.

53 And when the children of Yisrael heard this thing which Pharaoh had commanded, to cast their male children into the river, some of the people separated from their wives and others adhered to them.

54 And from that day forward, when the time of delivery arrived to those women of Yisrael who had remained with their husbands, they went to the field to bring forth there, and they brought forth in the field, and left their children upon the field and returned home.

55 And YAHWEH who had sworn to their ancestors to multiply them, sent one of his ministering heavenly messengers which are in heaven to wash each child in water, to anoint and swathe it and to put into its hands two smooth stones from one of which it sucked milk and from the other honey, and he caused its hair to grow to its knees, by which it might cover itself; to comfort it and to cleave to it, through his compassion for it.

56 And when YAHWEH had compassion over them and had desired to multiply them upon the face of the land, he ordered his earth to receive them to be preserved therein till the time of their growing up, after which the earth opened its mouth and vomited them forth and they sprouted forth from the city like the herb of the earth, and the grass of the forest, and they returned each to his family and to his father's house, and they remained with them. (Weird... first thing I thought of was bigfoot.) 

57 And the babes of the children of Yisrael were upon the earth like the herb of the field, through YAHWEH's free unmerited love and favor to them.

58 And when all the Egyptians saw this thing, they went forth, each to his field with his yoke of oxen and his ploughshare, and they ploughed it up as one ploughs the earth at seed time.

59 And when they ploughed they were unable to hurt the infants of the children of Yisrael, so the people increased and waxed exceedingly.

60 And Pharaoh ordered his officers daily to go to Goshen to seek for the babes of the children of Yisrael.

61 And when they had sought and found one, they took it from its mother's bosom by force, and threw it into the river, but the female child they left with its mother; thus did the Egyptians do to the Yisraelites all the days.

68 MOSHEH IS BORN

Mosheh, a Child of Promise, is born. The Egyptian Women acting as Spies. Mosheh is discovered, and placed by his Mother in an Ark of Bulrushes. Is Found and Adopted by the Daughter of Pharaoh, and grows up among the King's Children.

1 And it was at that time the spirit of YAHWEH was upon Miriam the daughter of Amram the sister of Aaron, and she went forth and prophesied about the house, saying, Behold a son will be born unto us from my father and mother this time, and he will save Yisrael from the hands of Egypt. (This isn't talked about at all.. nothing about Miriam being prophetic...Doesn't surprise me though.)

2 And when Amram heard the words of his daughter, he went and took his wife back to the house, after he had driven her away at the time when Pharaoh ordered every male child of the house of Yacob to be thrown into the water.

3 So Amram took Jochebed his wife, three years after he had driven her away, and he came to her and she conceived.

4 And at the end of seven months from her conception she brought forth a son, and the whole house was filled with great light as of the light of the sun and moon at the time of their shining.

5 And when the woman saw the child that it was good and pleasing to the sight, she hid it for three months in an inner room.

6 In those days the Egyptians conspired to destroy all the Hebrews there.

7 And the Egyptian women went to Goshen where the children of Yisrael were, and they carried their young ones upon their shoulders, their babes who could not yet speak.

8 And in those days, when the women of the children of Yisrael brought forth, each woman had hidden her son from before the Egyptians, that the Egyptians might not know of their bringing forth, and might not destroy them from the land.

9 And the Egyptian women came to Goshen and their children who could not speak were upon their shoulders, and when an Egyptian woman came into the house of a Hebrew woman her babe began to cry.

10 And when it cried the child that was in the inner room answered it, so the Egyptian women went and told it at the house of Pharaoh.

11 And Pharaoh sent his officers to take the children and slay them; thus did the Egyptians to the Hebrew women all the days.

12 And it was at that time, about three months from Jochebed's concealment of her son, that the thing was known in Pharaoh's house.

13 And the woman hastened to take away her son before the officers came, and she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein, and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. (Exodus 2:3)

14 And his sister Miriam stood afar off to know what would be done to him, and what would become of her words.

15 And YAHWEH sent forth at that time a terrible heat in the land of Egypt, which burned up the flesh of man like the sun in his circuit, and it greatly oppressed the Egyptians.

16 And all the Egyptians went down to bathe in the river, on account of the consuming heat which burned up their flesh.

17 And Bathia (Interestingly enough... the name meaning of Bathia is Daughter of Yahweh), the daughter of Pharaoh, went also to bathe in the river, owing to the consuming heat, and her maidens walked at the river side, and all the women of Egypt as well.

18 And Bathia lifted up her eyes to the river, and she saw the ark upon the water, and sent her maid to fetch it.

19 And she opened it and saw the child, and behold the babe wept, and she had compassion on him, and she said, This is one of the Hebrew children.

20 And all the women of Egypt walking on the river side desired to give him suck, but he would not suck, for this thing was from YAHWEH, in order to restore him to his mother's breast.

21 And Miriam his sister was at that time among the Egyptian women at the river side, and she saw this thing and she said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and fetch a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?

22 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go, and the young woman went and called the child's mother.

23 And Pharaoh's daughter said to Jochebed, Take this child away and suckle it for me, and I will pay you your wages, two bits of silver daily; and the woman took the child and nursed it.

24 And at the end of two years, when the child grew up, she brought him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he was unto her as a son, and she called his name Mosheh (In case you didn't know... Moses), for she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

25 And Amram his father called his name Chabar (Name Meaning: To join, unite and to bind together.), for he said, It was for him that he associated with his wife whom he had turned away.

26 And Jochebed his mother called his name Jekuthiel (Name meaning: Hope or congregation of the Lord.), Because, she said, I have hoped for him to the Almighty, and YAHWEH restored him unto me.

27 And Miriam his sister called him Jered (Name meaning: descended), for she descended after him to the river to know what his end would be.

28 And Aaron his brother called his name Abi Zanuch, saying, My father left my mother and returned to her on his account.

29 And Kehath the father of Amram called his name Abigdor, because on his account did YAHWEH repair the breach of the house of Yacob, that they could no longer throw their male children into the water.

30 And their nurse called him Abi Socho, saying, In his tabernacle was he hidden for three months, on account of the children of Ham. (NICE! The Children of Ham...the Egyptians.)

31 And all Yisrael called his name Shemaiah, son of Nethanel, for they said, In his days has YAHWEH heard their cries and rescued them from their oppressors.

32 And Mosheh was in Pharaoh's house, and was unto Bathia, Pharaoh's daughter, as a son, and Mosheh grew up among the king's children.

(Dang!  This is one heck of a better story telling than we get in Exodus. I love this. All of the different names for who Moses is/was. How cool is that? What do you think? Are you pumped up to learn more, to fill in the blanks? I know I am!)
