Exodus: Part 1

 Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144JUDAH! YAY! We are finally to the Exodus. This is one of my favorite books in the bible, and it was driving me crazy to get this far:) 

Now we come to a whole new Egypt, as the leader of this Egypt did not know Joseph. And we learn that the Israelites grew huge and abundant, and the land was filled with them, and they were mighty. The sons of Jacob multiplied throughout the land and were strong. This was about 59 years or so after Joseph's death up to the birth of Moses, who was born into slavery. 

What happened in-between all those years?

Can you think of a time period again after where this same thing has happened? Do you really feel free now? This freedom that we "claim" or should I see the "government claims" we have is not freedom. Everything is controlled by them to make us think that we are free, but we are far from it. After you see some of the things going on in this next part, you will see what I am talking about. 

Found on Revised English Version

The gap years between Joseph’s death and Moses’ birth is estimated to be around 59 years1. Moses was 80 years old at the Exodus1. Since he was born in slavery, the maximum years of slavery (139 years) minus the 80 years of Moses’ life gives us 59 years as the gap years between Joseph’s death and Moses’ birth1. Israel’s slavery started during this gap1. The time between Joseph's death and the Exodus was around 400 years2.

Now this ruler that didn't know Joseph, comes and speaks to his people, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land. Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Ramses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick, (Does this sound familiar? The people doing all of the hard jobs and make hardly any money, while the rich keep getting richer? The Government living off of the middle-class workers that do all of the back-breaking work? And then tax us to death? Giving people that don't do anything our money?) and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour. And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives of which the name of the one was Shiprah, and the name of the other Puah: And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive. And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. And it came to pass because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast in the river, and every daughter shall save alive." Exodus 1:9-22

"And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

The Book of Yasher (Jasher) Parts 79 and 80

 

    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. 

  

79 YAHWEH APPEARS TO MOSHEH

YAHWEH appears to Mosheh and commands him to go down to Egypt to Deliver Yisrael. Aaron meets him. Yisrael on hearing of his Mission greatly rejoices. Mosheh and Aaron go to Pharaoh, who calls all the Magicians to meet Mosheh. They Perform Miracles as well as Mosheh, and thus Deceive the King. Pharaoh, not finding the Name of YAHWEH on any of the Books of Records, says he does not know who He is, and will not let his People go. Mosheh and Aaron teach Pharaoh, but he will not hearken, but causes the labor of the Children of Yisrael to be increased. Mosheh being discouraged is told by YAHWEH that with an outstretched hand and heavy Plagues, Yisrael shall be Delivered.

1 And in those days Mosheh was feeding the flock of Reuel the Midianite his father-in-law, beyond the wilderness of Sin (Wilderness of Sin - Wikipedia), and the stick which he took from his father-in-law was in his hand.

2 And it came to pass one day that a kid of goats strayed from the flock, and Mosheh pursued it and it came to the mountain of YAHWEH to Horeb.

3 And when he came to Horeb, YAHWEH appeared there unto him in the bush, and he found the bush burning with fire, but the fire had no power over the bush to consume it.

4 And Mosheh was greatly astonished at this sight, wherefore the bush was not consumed, and he approached to see this mighty thing, and YAHWEH called unto Mosheh out of the fire and commanded him to go down to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to send the children of Yisrael from his service.

5 And YAHWEH said unto Mosheh, Go, return to Egypt, for all those men who sought your life are dead, and you shalt speak unto Pharaoh to send forth the children of Yisrael from his land.

6 And YAHWEH showed him to do signs and wonders in Egypt before the eyes of Pharaoh and the eyes of his subjects, in order that they might believe that YAHWEH had sent him.

7 And Mosheh hearkened to all that YAHWEH had commanded him, and he returned to his father-in-law and told him the thing, and Reuel said to him, Go in peace.

8 And Mosheh rose up to go to Egypt, and he took his wife and sons with him, and he was at an inn in the road, and an heavenly messenger of YAHWEH came down, and sought an occasion against him. (To find fault or error against)

9 And he wished to kill him on account of his first born son, because he had not circumcised him, and had transgressed the covenant which YAHWEH had made with Abraham.

10 For Mosheh had hearkened to the words of his father-in-law which he had spoken to him, not to circumcise his first born son, therefore he circumcised him not.

11 And Zipporah saw the heavenly messenger of YAHWEH seeking an occasion against Mosheh, and she knew that this thing was owing to his not having circumcised her son Gershom.

12 And Zipporah hastened and took of the sharp rock stones that were there, and she circumcised her son, and delivered her husband and her son from the hand of the heavenly messenger of YAHWEH. (Yikes...)

13 And Aaron the son of Amram, the brother of Mosheh, was in Egypt walking at the river side on that day.

14 And YAHWEH appeared to him in that place, and he said to him, Go now toward Mosheh in the wilderness, and he went and met him in the mountain of YAHWEH, and he kissed him.

15 And Aaron lifted up his eyes, and saw Zipporah the wife of Mosheh and her children, and he said unto Mosheh, Who are these unto you?

16 And Mosheh said unto him, They are my wife and sons, which YAHWEH gave to me in Midian; and the thing grieved Aaron on account of the woman and her children.

17 And Aaron said to Mosheh, Send away the woman and her children that they may go to her father's house, and Mosheh hearkened to the words of Aaron, and did so.

18 And Zipporah returned with her children, and they went to the house of Reuel, and remained there until the time arrived when YAHWEH had visited his people, and brought them forth from Egypt from the hand at Pharaoh.

19 And Mosheh and Aaron came to Egypt to the community of the children of Yisrael, and they spoke to them all the words of YAHWEH, and the people rejoiced an exceeding great rejoicing.

20 And Mosheh and Aaron rose up early on the next day, and they went to the house of Pharaoh, and they took in their hands the stick of YAHWEH.

21 And when they came to the king's gate, two young lions were confined there with iron instruments, and no person went out or came in from before them, unless those whom the king ordered to come, when the conjurors came and withdrew the lions by their incantations, and this brought them to the king.

22 And Mosheh hastened and lifted up the stick upon the lions, and he loosed them, and Mosheh and Aaron came into the king's house.

23 The lions also came with them in joy, and they followed them and rejoiced as a dog rejoices over his master when he comes from the field.

24 And when Pharaoh saw this thing he was astonished at it, and he was greatly terrified at the report, for their appearance was like the appearance of the children of Elohim. (The term \"Elohim\" means supreme one or mighty one. It is not only used of the one true God but is also used on occasion to refer to human rulers, judges, and even angels. If you saw one who exhibiting supreme rule and expressed mighty power the word you would use would be Elohim. )

25 And Pharaoh said to Mosheh, What do you require? and they answered him, saying, YAHWEH the Elohim of the Hebrews has sent us to you, to say, Send forth my people that they may serve me.

26 And when Pharaoh heard their words he was greatly terrified before them, and he said to them, Go today and come back to me tomorrow, and they did according to the word of the king.

27 And when they had gone Pharaoh sent for Balaam the magician and to Jannes and Jambres his sons, and to all the magicians and conjurors and counsellors which belonged to the king, and they all came and sat before the king.

28 And the king told them all the words which Mosheh and his brother Aaron had spoken to him, and the magicians said to the king, But how came the men to you, on account of the lions which were confined at the gate?

29 And the king said, Because they lifted up their rod against the lions and loosed them, and came to me, and the lions also rejoiced at them as a dog rejoices to meet his master.

30 And Balaam the son of Beor the magician answered the king, saying, These are none else than magicians like ourselves.

31 Now therefore send for them, and let them come and we will try them, and the king did so.

32 And in the morning Pharaoh sent for Mosheh and Aaron to come before the king, and they took the rod of YAHWEH, and came to the king and spoke to him, saying,

33 Thus said YAHWEH the Elohim of the Hebrews, Send my people that they may serve me.

34 And the king said to them, But who will believe you that you are the messengers of YAHWEH and that you come to me by his order?

35 Now therefore give a wonder or sign in this matter, and then the words which you speak will be believed.

36 And Aaron hastened and threw the rod out of his hand before Pharaoh and before his servants, and the rod turned into a serpent.

37 And the sorcerers saw this and they cast each man his rod upon the ground and they became serpents.

38 And the serpent of Aaron's rod lifted up its head and opened its mouth to swallow the rods of the magicians.

39 And Balaam the magician answered and said, This thing has been from the days of old, that a serpent should swallow its fellow, and that living things devour each other.

40 Now therefore restore it to a rod as it was at first, and we will also restore our rods as they were at first, and if your rod shall swallow our rods, then shall we know that the spirit of YAHWEH is in you, and if not, you are only an artificer like unto ourselves.

41 And Aaron hastened and stretched forth his hand and caught hold of the serpent's tail and it became a rod in his hand, and the sorcerers did the like with their rods, and they got hold, each man of the tail of his serpent, and they became rods as at first.

42 And when they were restored to rods, the rod of Aaron swallowed up their rods.

43 And when the king saw this thing, he ordered the book of records that related to the kings of Egypt, to be brought, and they brought the book of records, the chronicles of the kings of Egypt, in which all the idols of Egypt were inscribed, for they thought of finding therein the name of YAHWEH, but they found it not.

44 And Pharaoh said to Mosheh and Aaron, Behold I have not found the name of YAHWEH your Elohim written in this book, and his name I know not.

45 And the counsellors and wise men answered the king, We have heard that YAHWEH the Elohim of the Hebrews is a son of the wise, the son of ancient kings.

46 And Pharaoh turned to Mosheh and Aaron and said to them, I know not YAHWEH whom you have declared, neither will I send his people.

47 And they answered and said to the king, YAHWEH the Elohim of gods is his name, and he proclaimed his name over us from the days of our ancestors, and sent us, saying, Go to Pharaoh and say unto him, Send my people that they may serve me.

48 Now therefore send us, that we may take a journey for three days in the wilderness, and there may sacrifice to him, for from the days of our going down to Egypt, he has not taken from our hands either burnt offering, oblation or sacrifice, and if you wilt not send us, his anger will be kindled against you, and he will smite Egypt either with the plague or with the sword.

49 And Pharaoh said to them, Tell me now his power and his might; and they said to him, He created the heaven and the earth, the seas and all their fishes, he formed the light, created the darkness, caused rain upon the earth and watered it, and made the herbage and grass to sprout, he created man and beast and the animals of the forest, the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and by his mouth they live and die.

50 Surely he created you in your mother's womb, and put into you the breath of life, and reared you and placed you upon the royal throne of Egypt, and he will take your breath and soul from you, and return you to the ground whence you were taken.

51 And the anger of the king was kindled at their words, and he said to them, But who among all the gods of nations can do this? my river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

52 And he drove them from him, and he ordered the labor upon Yisrael to be more severe than it was yesterday and before.

53 And Mosheh and Aaron went out from the king's presence, and they saw the children of Yisrael in an evil condition for the task-masters had made their labor exceedingly heavy.

54 And Mosheh returned to YAHWEH and said, Why have you ill treated your people? for since I came to speak to Pharaoh what you did send me for, he has exceedingly ill used the children of Yisrael.

55 And YAHWEH said to Mosheh, Behold you wilt see that with an outstretched hand and heavy plagues, Pharaoh will send the children of Yisrael from his land.

56 And Mosheh and Aaron dwelt among their brethren the children of Yisrael in Egypt.

57 And as for the children of Yisrael the Egyptians embittered their lives, with the heavy work which they imposed upon them.

80 MOSHEH AND AARON GO TO PHARAOH

After Two Years, Mosheh and Aaron again go to Pharaoh, but Pharaoh will not Hearken. YAHWEH afflicts Egypt with all manner of Plagues and Afflictions. The First-born of all the Egyptians is Slain. Pharaoh sends the Children of Yisrael away, and all the Egyptians rise up to urge their Departure, but they will not go in the Night.

1 And at the end of two years, YAHWEH again sent Mosheh to Pharaoh to bring forth the children of Yisrael, and to send them out of the land of Egypt. (Holy cow...two years!)

2 And Mosheh went and came to the house of Pharaoh, and he spoke to him the words of YAHWEH who had sent him, but Pharaoh would not hearken to the voice of YAHWEH, and YAHWEH roused his might in Egypt upon Pharaoh and his subjects, and YAHWEH smote Pharaoh and his people with very great and sore plagues.

3 And YAHWEH sent by the hand of Aaron and turned all the waters of Egypt into blood, with all their streams and rivers.

4 And when an Egyptian came to drink and draw water, he looked into his pitcher, and behold all the water was turned into blood; and when he came to drink from his cup the water in the cup became blood.

5 And when a woman kneaded her dough and cooked her victuals, their appearance was turned to that of blood.

6 And YAHWEH sent again and caused all their waters to bring forth frogs, and all the frogs came into the houses of the Egyptians.

7 And when the Egyptians drank, their bellies were filled with frogs and they danced in their bellies as they dance when in the river.

8 And all their drinking water and cooking water turned to frogs, also when they lay in their beds their perspiration bred frogs.

9 Notwithstanding all this the anger of YAHWEH did not turn from them, and his hand was stretched out against all the Egyptians to smite them with every heavy plague.

10 And he sent and smote their dust to lice, and the lice became in Egypt to the height of two cubits upon the earth.

11 The lice were also very numerous, in the flesh of man and beast, in all the inhabitants of Egypt, also upon the king and queen YAHWEH sent the lice, and it grieved Egypt exceedingly on account of the lice.

12 Notwithstanding this, the anger of YAHWEH did not turn away, and his hand was still stretched out over Egypt.

13 And YAHWEH sent all kinds of beasts of the field into Egypt, and they came and destroyed all Egypt, man and beast, and trees, and all things that were in Egypt.

14 And YAHWEH sent fiery serpents, scorpions, mice, weasels, toads, together with others creeping in dust.

15 Flies, hornets, fleas, bugs and gnats, each swarm according to its kind.

16 And all reptiles and winged animals according to their kind came to Egypt and grieved the Egyptians exceedingly.

17 And the fleas and flies came into the eyes and ears of the Egyptians.

18 And the hornet came upon them and drove them away, and they removed from it into their inner rooms, and it pursued them.

19 And when the Egyptians hid themselves on account of the swarm of animals, they locked their doors after them, and YAHWEH ordered the Sulanuth which was in the sea, to come up and go into Egypt.

20 And she had long arms, ten cubits in length of the cubit of a man.

21 And she went upon the roofs and uncovered the raftering and flooring and cut them, and stretched forth her arm into the house and removed the lock and the bolt, and opened the houses of Egypt. (Yikes... sounds like a giant squid or something.)

22 Afterward came the swarm of animals into the houses of Egypt, and the swarm of animals destroyed the Egyptians, and it grieved them exceedingly.

23 Notwithstanding this the anger of YAHWEH did not turn away from the Egyptians, and his hand was yet stretched forth against them.

24 And YAHWEH sent the pestilence, and the pestilence pervaded Egypt, in the horses and asses, and in the camels, in herds of oxen and sheep and in man.

25 And when the Egyptians rose up early in the morning to take their cattle to pasture they found all their cattle dead.

26 And there remained of the cattle of the Egyptians only one in ten, and of the cattle belonging to Yisrael in Goshen not one died.

27 And YAHWEH sent a burning inflammation in the flesh of the Egyptians, which burst their skins, and it became a severe itch in all the Egyptians from the soles of their feet to the crowns of their heads.

28 And many boils were in their flesh, that their flesh wasted away until they became rotten and putrid.

29 Notwithstanding this the anger of YAHWEH did not turn away, and his hand was still stretched out over all Egypt.

30 And YAHWEH sent a very heavy hail, which smote their vines and broke their fruit trees and dried them up that they fell upon them.

31 Also every green herb became dry and perished, for a mingling fire descended amidst the hail, therefore the hail and the fire consumed all things.

32 Also men and beasts that were found abroad perished of the flames of fire and of the hail, and all the young lions were exhausted.

33 And YAHWEH sent and brought numerous locusts into Egypt, the Chasel, Salom, Chargol, and Chagole, locusts each of its kind, which devoured all that the hail had left remaining.

34 Then the Egyptians rejoiced at the locusts, although they consumed the produce of the field, and they caught them in abundance and salted them for food.

35 And YAHWEH turned a mighty wind of the sea which took away all the locusts, even those that were salted, and thrust them into the Red Sea; not one locust remained within the boundaries of Egypt.

36 And YAHWEH sent darkness upon Egypt, that the whole land of Egypt and Pathros became dark for three days, so that a man could not see his hand when he lifted it to his mouth.

37 At that time died many of the people of Yisrael who had rebelled against YAHWEH and who would not hearken to Mosheh and Aaron, and believed not in them that YAHWEH had sent them.

38 And who had said, We will not go forth from Egypt lest we perish with hunger in a desolate wilderness, and who would not hearken to the voice of Mosheh.

39 And YAHWEH plagued them in the three days of darkness, and the Yisraelites buried them in those days, without the Egyptians knowing of them or rejoicing over them.

40 And the darkness was very great in Egypt for three days, and any person who was standing when the darkness came, remained standing in his place, and he that was sitting remained sitting, and he that was lying continued lying in the same state, and he that was walking remained sitting upon the ground in the same spot; and this thing happened to all the Egyptians, until the darkness had passed away.

41 And the days of darkness passed away, and YAHWEH sent Mosheh and Aaron to the children of Yisrael, saying, Celebrate your feast and make your Passover, for behold I come in the midst of the night among all the Egyptians, and I will smite all their first born, from the first born of a man to the first born of a beast, and when I see your Passover, I will pass over you.

42 And the children of Yisrael did according to all that YAHWEH had commanded Mosheh and Aaron, thus did they in that night.

43 And it came to pass in the middle of the night, that YAHWEH went forth in the midst of Egypt, and smote all the first born of the Egyptians, from the first born of man to the first born of beast.

44 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry throughout Egypt in that night, for there was not a house in which there was not a corpse.

45 Also the likenesses of the first born of Egypt, which were carved in the walls at their houses, were destroyed and fell to the ground.

46 Even the bones of their first born who had died before this and whom they had buried in their houses, were raked up by the dogs of Egypt on that night and dragged before the Egyptians and cast before them.

47 And all the Egyptians saw this evil which had suddenly come upon them, and all the Egyptians cried out with a loud voice.

48 And all the families of Egypt wept upon that night, each man for his son and each man for his daughter, (never mentioned daughters...interesting) being the first born, and the tumult of Egypt was heard at a distance on that night.

49 And Bathia the daughter of Pharaoh went forth with the king on that night to seek Mosheh and Aaron in their houses, and they found them in their houses, eating and drinking and rejoicing with all Yisrael.

50 And Bathia said to Mosheh, Is this the reward for the good which I have done to you, who have reared you and stretched you out, and you have brought this evil upon me and my father's house?

51 And Mosheh said to her, Surely ten plagues did YAHWEH bring upon Egypt; did any evil accrue to you from any of them? did one of them affect you? and she said, No.

52 And Mosheh said to her, Although you are the first born to your mother, you shalt not die, and no evil shall reach you in the midst of Egypt.

53 And she said, What advantage is it to me, when I see the king, my brother, and all his household and subjects in this evil, whose first born perish with all the first born of Egypt?

54 And Mosheh said to her, Surely your brother and his household, and subjects, the families of Egypt, would not hearken to the words of YAHWEH, therefore did this evil come upon them.

55 And Pharaoh king of Egypt approached Mosheh and Aaron, and some of the children of Yisrael who were with them in that place, and he prayed to them, saying,

56 Rise up and take your brethren, all the children of Yisrael who are in the land, with their sheep and oxen, and all belonging to them, they shall leave nothing remaining, only pray for me to YAHWEH your Elohim.

57 And Mosheh said to Pharaoh, Behold though you are your mother's first born, yet fear not, for you wilt not die, for YAHWEH has commanded that you shalt live, in order to show you his great might and strong stretched out arm.

58 And Pharaoh ordered the children of Yisrael to be sent away, and all the Egyptians strengthened themselves to send them, for they said, We are all perishing.

59 And all the Egyptians sent the Yisraelites forth, with great riches, sheep and oxen and precious things, according to the oath of YAHWEH between him and our Father Abraham.

60 And the children of Yisrael delayed going forth at night, and when the Egyptians came to them to bring them out, they said to them, Are we thieves, that we should go forth at night?

61 And the children of Yisrael asked of the Egyptians, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and the children of Yisrael stripped the Egyptians.

62 And Mosheh hastened and rose up and went to the river of Egypt, and brought up from thence the coffin of Yoseph and took it with him. (Super important here!)

63 The children of Yisrael also brought up, each man his father's coffin with him, and each man the coffins of his tribe. (Awesome!  I'm glad this came up here. This was all foretold when Joseph stated that his bones shall leave when his people go to the promise land. What do you think? Interesting, huh?)

The Book of Jubilees: Chapters 48 and 49 (Lesser Genesis)

                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; and the world completely changes and we are given our calendar. 13 weeks between each change of the season. 4 Divisions. Each start at the Observance of the New Moon. 364 Day calendar! As Noah commands his son about the observances and of what he sees of his own children and how they have been fighting and their children aren't doing what they are supposed to, Noah tells them that he worries that they will be taken care of by God...and not in a good way, which leads us to the sons of Noah dividing their inheritance (the earth) by using lots. We learn of the land which they decided upon, and Noah is overjoyed because of a prophecy that he had spoken about Shem and The Almighty God blessing him. Who are Shem's people -- eventually? The Sons of Jacob...The Twelve Tribes... ISRAEL. And in the 9th Chapter, Noah has his son's swear an oath that when they divide their land to their sons, that none of them will try to take any of their brothers' land. What happens if they do? Cursed... which brings us to Canaan and how he stole from Shem's lot... which makes a lot more sense as to why Canaan is The Land of Milk and Honey and how it is The Promised Land of God's Chosen People through Shem's line. Then we come to Babel, and the son's language have now been confounded...and the people who once spoke Hebrew are no longer. Things are far away from The Most High God now, and the land has now gone from being divided between Noah's son's sons to Ham's son Canaan, taking Shem's land. So...we now are seeing the line that leads us down into Abram (Abraham) who we learn loves God and has learned basically what not to do from his father's example. And the coolest part? God speaks to him and Abraham listens! God chooses him because Abraham chose God and God reveals to him the language of Hebrew, and now Abraham has been given his fathers' books... what books you say? Oh, just the ones that Noah scribed... And guess what? Nobody has been able to read the language for many years. So, this all fits with the other book that I have been reading "The Book of Formation" Serif Yetzirah... After favoring and blessing Abraham, God shows him everything that he can see and tells him that this land and all of it is his and his people's. He is the Father of All Nations! So, now we learn that Lot, his nephew, has been taken, and Abraham leaves to go get him. Which brings us to Abram having a vision and a promise that he will father a child, that he will have many. God shows him that his people will be strangers in a strange land for 400 years...which brings us to the circumcision and the importance of it and what it means to get it and not get it. This is the torah...We see in 16 that Abraham will not pass away until after he sees all of his children born (6 more sons) after Isaac. We also learn that all of those children of Abraham will be gentiles....all but Isaac. In Isaac is the Holy Kodesh...seed... At the end of 17, the demon prince wants Yahweh to ask Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to see if he will do it or not... This is a whole Job situation here...and now we have made it to the 18th and 19th chapter where Jacob and Esau are born and Isaac loves Esau the best and Rebecca loves Jacob the best, but Abraham's blessing is going to go to Jacob... He tells Rebecca to take care of Jacob because he is special. And now we come to 20 and 21 where Abraham is on his death bed and gives instructions on what to do and what not to do... One is no fornicating, and the other no marrying anyone from Canaan... The people from Canaan will be rooted out... In 22 and 23 we learn that Abraham has died with Jacob in his arms -- after blessing him greatly. We also learn why we die so early and the upcoming tribulation, and then there is Esau and Jacob...Esau gives his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup out of red pottery, he is then known as Edom... Esau also is with two women from Canaan! Remember what Abraham said about Canaan? DON'T GO THERE! Esau went...now his people will be rooted out in the end... Which leads us to Palestine...I mean Luz, I mean Bethel, the place where God has blessed and where Jacob had his vision of the "ladder from heaven to earth"...Surely this is GOD'S Land! And what about "The Heap of Witness" conforming from what it used to be called "The Land of The Rephaim (Giants)"? And then we have Jacob, and his twelve sons...and one daughter. His daughter is defiled, and two of his sons execute judgment on the entire town that defiled her! So, Yahweh, blesses them and curses anyone who curses ISRAEL. And guess what? The Shechemites cursed Dinah, so Yahweh gave Levi Righteous Judgment... All in the house of Shechem that were males were executed. Then we see Jacob make it back to his mother and father, just as Yahweh has promised! So, Jacob set up a pillar in Bethel (the one that he set up before) and went with his two sons, Levi and Judah, to get his parents to bring them there and offer up the sacrifice to Yahweh as a blessing, but Isaac was too weak, so he took mother and her cousin Deborah, but not before Isaac blessed Levi and Judah! Then we learn something that shocked me to my core...the reason why Canaan was cursed! Ham slept with his own MOTHER... He uncovered his father's nakedness... we find this out by the wording of the same act with Reuben and Bilah... Reuben defiled her, and committed a sin against his father. And Rebecca is on her death bed, has Isaac promise to talk to Esau about not killing Jacob, and Isaac admits that even though Esau was his favorite son, he knows that is no longer the case because Esau is evil. Then we come to Esau and Jacob fighting... Jacob ends up killing him, and many of his people are taken down by Jacob's sons who end up getting Esau's children to bow to them. Finally we are back to Joseph. He is 17 now, and he is a prisoner in Pharaoh's prison because Pharoh's wife lied, but God's got Joseph. He is favoured, and ends up basically being in charge of the prison. He meets two of Pharoh's workers that Pharoh put there, and they both had a dream on the same night. Joseph interpreted the dreams as one died and the other would get out, and eventually...Joseph would too.  And now we head back to Jacob's sons' sons... First we find out that Judah married a Canaanite (What in the world are these men doing?) and she and Judah had three sons, Er, Onan and Shelah. Judah didn't want his sons to marry a woman from Canaan (I'm guessing he finally listened) so he set Er up with Tamar. Well, Er didn't want her, he wanted a woman from his mother's lineage, so God killed him. Then Tamar, seeing as she was promised a husband, was then promised to Onan (per tradition), well, Onan didn't want his seed to be his brother's kid, (weird way of thinking of it,) so he spilled it on the ground, and...God killed him. So, now, Shelah was up next to get Tamar, but Judah's wife didn't want Shelah to have her, so Judah tarried on that, and after his wife died, he was out and about and Tamar tricked him into being with her, which wasn't a good thing. He ended up getting her pregnant, and she had twins. And since he repented of his sin of showing his son's nakedness (the whole thing with being with his son's wife) God allowed his seed to not be uprooted, and in that is the line that goes directly to Yeshua! After all this, we are back on Joseph... So, Joseph's family is basically starving, and Jacob (Israel) finds out that Egypt has some food stored up so he sends his kids out to get some. When they do, the pharaoh (Joseph) asks why there is someone missing from their group, and they tell them that one brother stayed at home in case they got in trouble, and he said that he doesn't believe them so he would keep one brother, until they bring the other one back as an insurance policy... (Obviously, I'm paraphrasing.) So, they go back to their father, they have their money, too, which doesn't look good, and they explain the situation, and Reuben offers to go and take Benjamin, and get Simeon back, but Jacob says no. Then Judah offers, and offers him up as a tribute basically to get Simeon and he said that he would take care of Benjamin. After a while of not having food, Jacob finally agrees. They go, and Joseph tricks them and puts a cup of his own in Benjamin's bag (So he can keep his brother as a slave) but Judah pleads with him and explains the situation. Joseph's heart opens and he said that it all worked out (the selling of him) because God used him in order to save everyone. All is well now, and they head back with all sorts of corn and asses to give to Jacob in order to bring him to Joseph to show him that he is indeed alive. After they bring him into Goshen, Egypt's best land, Jacob lives for another 17 years. He tells his sons of his vision, and gives Levi the books of his fathers, which leads us into Joseph's eventual death and the death of his brothers. The sons of Israel all being buried in Canaan--except for Joseph who was buried in Egypt. Then Israel (the people) being tricked into slavery by the Egyptians.... because they were getting way too big and the Pharaoh, whom didn't know Joseph, wouldn't be able to contain them. 

Once again, my commentary on this is in BOLD. :) Enjoy!  This is copied from online sources as it is FREE for all. This book was taken out by almost all mainstream bibles. I use the KJV and it was removed by the Nicean Council. More on that later.

The Book Of Jubilees Chapter 48

Mosheh returns from Midian to Egypt

1 And in the sixth year of the third week of the forty-ninth jubilee you did depart and dwell (in [2372 A.M.] the land of Midian, five weeks and one year. And you did return into Egypt in the second week in the second year in the fiftieth jubilee. (So, I don't know if you remember or not about the significance of what is being said here. A jubilee is seven years. 49 years makes it a Shmita. On the fiftieth year- that is a year of abundance. Of a debt being cancelled. This is major. So, Moses is going into Egypt to get his people all in time for their debt to be cancelled. We are just now into our 50th year now in present time. This is 2023, and in Hebrew time it is the year 5784...The year of the OPEN DOOR... This is a year for debt cancellation, and it started in September during the Feast of Trumpets. What do you think will happen?!)

2 And you yourself know what He spoke to you on [2410 A.M.] Mount Sinai, and what prince Mastema desired to do with you when you were returning into Egypt. (I am not liking Mastema... obviously. It is super annoying that Mastema is even allowed in our lives.)

3 Did he not with all his power seek to slay you and deliver the Egyptians out of your hand when he saw that you were sent to execute judgment and vengeance on the Egyptians?

4 And I delivered you out of his hand, and you didst perform the signs and wonders which you were sent to perform in Egypt against Pharaoh, and against all his house, and against his servants and his people.

5 And YAHWEH executed a great vengeance on them for Yisrael's sake, and smote them through (the plagues of) blood and frogs, lice and dog-flies, and malignant boils breaking forth in blains; and their cattle by death; and by hail-stones, thereby He destroyed everything that grew for them; and by locusts which devoured the residue which had been left by the hail, and by darkness; and (by the death) of the first-born of men and animals, and on all their idols YAHWEH took vengeance and burned them with fire.

6 And everything was sent through your hand, that you should declare (these things) before they were done, and you did speak with the king of Egypt before all his servants and before his people.

7 And everything took place according to your words; ten great and terrible judgments came on the land of Egypt that you might execute vengeance on it for Yisrael.

8 And YAHWEH did everything for Yisrael's sake, and according to His covenant, which he had ordained with Abraham that He would take vengeance on them as they had brought them by force into bondage.

9 And the prince Mastema stood up against you, and sought to cast you into the hands of Pharaoh, and he helped the Egyptian sorcerers,

10 And they stood up and wrought before you the evils indeed we permitted them to work, but the remedies we did not allow to be wrought by their hands. (So funny... so this, once again, proves that people can be influenced by evil entities. This is a fourth dimensional spirit and it is influencing the Egyptian sorcerers. God tells us to "Test the spirit"...This is super important! Especially for today!)

11 And YAHWEH smote them with malignant ulcers, and they were not able to stand, for we destroyed them so that they could not perform a single sign.

12 And notwithstanding all (these) signs and wonders the prince Mastema was not put to shame because he took courage and cried to the Egyptians to pursue after you with all the powers of the Egyptians, with their chariots, and with their horses, and with all the hosts of the peoples of Egypt.

13 And I stood between the Egyptians and Yisrael, and we delivered Yisrael out of his hand, and out of the hand of his people, and YAHWEH brought them through the midst of the sea as if it were dry land. (GO YAHWEH!)

14 And all the peoples whom he brought to pursue after Yisrael, YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler cast them into the midst of the sea, into the depths of the abyss beneath the children of Yisrael, even as the people of Egypt had cast their children into the river He took vengeance on 1,000,000 of them, and one thousand strong and energetic men were destroyed on account of one suckling of the children of your people which they had thrown into the river.

15 And on the fourteenth day and on the fifteenth and on the sixteenth and on the seventeenth and on the eighteenth the prince Mastema was bound and imprisoned behind the children of Yisrael that he might not accuse them.

16 And on the nineteenth we let them loose that they might help the Egyptians and pursue the children of Yisrael.

17 And he hardened their hearts and made them stubborn, and the device was devised by YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler that He might smite the Egyptians and cast them into the sea.

18 And on the fourteenth we bound him that he might not accuse the children of Yisrael on the day when they asked the Egyptians for vessels and garments, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze, in order to despoil the Egyptians in return for the bondage in which they had forced them to serve.

19 And we did not lead forth the children of Yisrael from Egypt empty handed.

 NOW that is the way to do things! 

The Book Of Jubilees Chapter 49

Remember the commandment of the Passover

1 Remember the commandment which YAHWEH commanded you concerning the Passover, that you should celebrate it in its season on the fourteenth of the first month, that you should kill it before it is evening, and that they should eat it by night on the evening of the fifteenth from the time of the setting of the sun.

2 For on this night -the beginning of the festival and the beginning of the joy- you were eating the Passover in Egypt, when all the powers of Mastema had been let loose to slay all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh to the first-born of the captive maid-servant in the mill, and to the cattle.

3 And this is the sign which YAHWEH gave them: Into every house on the lintels of which they saw the blood of a lamb of the first year, into that house they should not enter to slay, but should pass by it, that all those should be saved that were in the house because the sign of the blood was on its lintels.

4 And the powers of YAHWEH did everything according as YAHWEH commanded them, and they passed by all the children of Yisrael, and the plague came not upon them to destroy from amongst them any soul either of cattle, or man, or dog.

5 And the plague was very grievous in Egypt, and there was no house in Egypt where there was not one dead, and weeping and lamentation.

6 And all Yisrael was eating the flesh of the paschal lamb, and drinking the wine, and was lauding, and blessing, and giving thanks to YAHWEH ALMIGHTY of their fathers, and was ready to go forth from under the yoke of Egypt, and from the evil bondage.

7 And remember you this day all the days of your life, and observe it from year to year all the days of your life, once a year, on its day, according to all the Torah thereof, and do not adjourn it from day to day, or from month to month.

8 For it is an eternal ordinance, and engraved on the heavenly tablets regarding all the children of Yisrael that they should observe it every year on its day once a year, throughout all their generations; and there is no limit of days, for this is ordained forever.

9 And the man who is free from uncleanness, and does not come to observe it on occasion of its day, so as to bring an acceptable offering before YAHWEH, and to eat and to drink before YAHWEH on the day of its festival, that man who is clean and close at hand shall be cut off: because he offered not the oblation of YAHWEH in its appointed season, he shall take the guilt upon himself.

10 Let the children of Yisrael come and observe the Passover on the day of its fixed time, on the fourteenth day of the first month, between the evenings, from the third part of the day to the third part of the night, for two portions of the day are given to the light, and a third part to the evening.

11 This is that which YAHWEH commanded you that you should observe it between the evenings.

12 And it is not permissible to slay it during any period of the light, but during the period bordering on the evening, and let them eat it at the time of the evening, until the third part of the night, and whatever is left over of all its flesh from the third part of the night and onwards, let them burn it with fire.

13 And they shall not cook it with water, nor shall they eat it raw, but roast on the fire: they shall eat it with diligence, its head with the inwards thereof and its feet they shall roast with fire, and not break any bone thereof; for of the children of Yisrael no bone shall be crushed.

14 For this reason YAHWEH commanded the children of Yisrael to observe the Passover on the day of its fixed time, and they shall not break a bone thereof; for it is a festival day, and a day commanded, and there may be no passing over from day to day, and month to month, but on the day of its festival let it be observed.

15 And do you command the children of Yisrael to observe the Passover throughout their days, every year, once a year on the day of its fixed time, and it shall come for a memorial well pleasing before YAHWEH, and no plague shall come upon them to slay or to smite in that year in which they celebrate the Passover in its season in every respect according to His command.

16 And they shall not eat it outside the sanctuary of YAHWEH, but before the sanctuary of YAHWEH, and all the people of the congregation of Yisrael shall celebrate it in its appointed season.

17 And every man who has come upon its day shall eat it in the sanctuary of your ALMIGHTY before YAHWEH from twenty years old and upward; for thus is it written and ordained that they should eat it in the sanctuary of YAHWEH. (Twenty years old and upward...Interesting...is this when they are considered an adult?)

18 And when the children of Yisrael come into the land which they are to possess, into the land of Canaan, and set up the tabernacle of YAHWEH in the midst of the land in one of their tribes until the sanctuary of YAHWEH has been built in the land, let them come and celebrate the Passover in the midst of the tabernacle of YAHWEH, and let them slay it before YAHWEH from year to year.

19 And in the days when the house has been built in the NAME of YAHWEH in the land of their inheritance, they shall go there and slay the Passover in the evening, at sunset, at the third part of the day.

20 And they shall offer its blood on the threshold of the altar, and shall place its fat on the fire which is upon the altar, and they shall eat its flesh roasted with fire in the court of the house which has been sanctified in the NAME of YAHWEH.

21 And they may not celebrate the Passover in their cities, nor in any place save before the tabernacle of YAHWEH, or before His house where His NAME has dwelt; and they shall not go astray from YAHWEH.

22 And do you, Mosheh, command the children of Yisrael to observe the ordinances of the Passover, as it was commanded to you; declare you unto them every year and the day of its days, and the festival of unleavened bread, that they should eat unleavened bread seven days, and that they should observe its festival, and that they bring an oblation(an offering to God) every day during those seven days of joy before YAHWEH on the altar of YAHWEH your ALMIGHTY.

23 For you celebrated this festival with haste when you went forth from Egypt till you entered into the wilderness of Shur; for on the shore of the sea you completed it.

I really like this book. When you read Exodus and really get into how Moses received his information, you don't get a backstory like this. You basically just get that he received this word from Mount Sinai. I can't imagine the stress that Moses had to have to get all of this stuff off the ground. He had a ton of people with him, and he was now their teacher. The stress of it all would have driven me crazy. I can't imagine the responsibility that was on his shoulders to get these people out of "slave" mentality and to stop worshipping other gods...let alone to get the feasts right.
