The Eternal Torah

The Foundations 

The Absolute Standard

The Torah of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (YaHU’aH) is the Foundation of the Covenant and the Standard of The Way. The Torah is not law—it is life. It is the spoken instruction of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 to His people, the eternal guide for how to walk in righteousness, justice, order, and Consecrated identity. It was never abolished, never replaced, and never meant to be reinterpreted by religion or the nations. It is the heart of Derak—the only path back to the covenant.

We acknowledge that today the chosen ones of Yashar’al remain scattered across the face of the earth, dwelling in the lands of our enemies. The land of our inheritance lies desolate—even as was spoken in the book of 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus), that He will bring the land into desolation so that our enemies who dwell therein will be astonished at it; and He will scatter us among the gentiles, drawing out a sword after us, so that our land becomes a waste and our cities a ruin. Then the land will finally enjoy its Shabbats as long as it lies desolate and we are in our enemies' land; then the land will rest and enjoy its Shabbats (𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:32-34). Because we are not currently gathered in Yarushalayim—the place where 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 placed His Name—there are certain practices and sacrificial requirements that cannot be fulfilled in their fullness. However, the instruction remains our light in the darkness. We guard what can be guarded in our exile as a sign of our return.

𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀔𐀏 (Yahusha) did not destroy the Torah—He fulfilled and lived it (π€Œπ€•π€•π€‰π€„π€… (MatithYAHU-Matthew) 5:17). Every commandment still stands. Every instruction still matters. The Torah reveals what pleases 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, what separates the Consecrated from the profane, and what keeps the remnant of Yashar’al from the snares of deception. This is your return point. This is your inheritance.

Note to reader:

Some passages may appear more than once. This is intentional. Certain commandments are repeated to strengthen clarity, reinforce remembrance, and align directly with the practices being highlighted. These overlaps are not errors, but purposeful emphasis to ensure the instructions are fully seen, understood, and applied without confusion.

The Nature of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄

This category focuses on the absolute Oneness (Echad) of the Creator, the sanctity of His revealed Name, and the requirement for total devotion. It clarifies that 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 is the only source of salvation and power.

Personal Torah Scroll: Now therefore write you this song for you, and teach it to the children of Yasharal: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Yasharalπ€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 31:19

The Unchanging Torah

The Torah is the perfect instruction of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, the everlasting lifestyle designed to remain constant through all generations. This section warns against the human tendency to add traditions or remove "difficult" laws.

The Ten Mitzvot (The Bedrock)

The Ten Mitzvot (Commandments) serve as the unshakeable core of the Everlasting Covenant. They are the primary conditions of the marriage contract (Brit) between 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 and His people, defining the boundaries of love for ALuah (Mighty One) and love for neighbor.

The Ten Mitzvot

Portable Personal Mitzvot (Exile Binding)

These laws are not dependent on the Land or Temple and should be guarded even in the nations of our enemies.

Identity & Group-Specific Requirements

This section defines the distinct roles and physical requirements for those walking in the Covenant. While the Torah is one for all who join themselves to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, He has established specific signs and duties based on gender and heritage to maintain order, headship, and the Consecrated-identity of His people.


Male Specific Requirements

For the male, the covenant is marked by a physical sign and a heavy responsibility of spiritual headship. These requirements are the markers of a man of Yashar’al, distinguishing him in his appearance and his duties before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄.

Female Specific Requirements

For the woman, the covenant is reflected in modesty, the preservation of life, and the Consecrated-cycles of purity. Her role is central to the Consecrated-nature of the home and the raising of the next generation in the Way of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄.

  • Jealousy Law: If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; And the breath of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the breath of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: Then will the man bring his wife unto the Kohan, and he will bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he will pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. And the Kohan will bring her near, and place her before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: And the Kohan will take Consecrated water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the Kohan will take, and put it into the water: And the Kohan will place the woman before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the Kohan will have in his hand the bitter water that causes the curse: And the Kohan will charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of your husband, be you free from this bitter water that causes the curse: But if you have gone aside to another instead of your husband, and if you be defiled, and some man has lain with you beside your husband: Then the Kohan will charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the Kohan will say unto the woman, 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 make you a curse and an oath among your people, when 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell; And this water that causes the curse will go into your bowels, to make your belly to swell, and your thigh to rot: And the woman will say, Ahmayn, Ahmayn. And the Kohan will write these curses in a book, and he will blot them out with the bitter water: And he will cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causes the curse: and the water that causes the curse will enter into her, and become bitter. Then the Kohan will take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and will wave the offering before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and offer it upon the altar: And the Kohan will take a handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward will cause the woman to drink the water. And when he has made her to drink the water, then it will come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly will swell, and her thigh will rot: and the woman will be a curse among her people. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she will be free, and will conceive seed. This is the Torah of jealousies, when a wife goes aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; Or when the breath of jealousy comes upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and will place the woman before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and the Kohan will execute upon her all this Torah. Then will the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman will bear her iniquity π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 5:12–31.
  • Marriage Protection (Rape of Betrothed Woman): If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then you will bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and you will stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife: so you will put away evil from among you. But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her will die: But unto the damsel you will do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and slays him, even so is this matter: For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 22:23–27.
  • Inheritance of Daughters: And you shall speak unto the children of Yashar'al, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then you will cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter. And if he have no daughter, then you will give his inheritance unto his brothers. And if he have no brothers, then you will give his inheritance unto his father's brothers. And if his father have no brothers, then you will give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he will possess it: and it will be unto the children of Yashar'al a statute of judgment, as 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 commanded Moshah π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 27:8–11.
  • Marriage Within the Tribe (Inheritance Protection – Zelophehad’s Daughters): This is the thing which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 does command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father will they marry. So will not the inheritance of the children of Yashar'al remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Yashar'al will keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 36:6–7.

This is the Torah for her that has born a male or a female. And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she will bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the Kohan will make an atonement for her, and she will be clean 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 12:6–8.
  • Authority Over Vows: If a woman vow a vow unto 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth; And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she has bound her soul, and her father will hold his peace at her: then all her vows will stand, and every bond wherewith she has bound her soul will stand. But if her father disallow her in the day that he hears; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she has bound her soul, will stand: and 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 will forgive her, because her father disallowed her π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 30:4–5.

  • Unlawful Relations (Boundaries): None of you will approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄.

  • Prohibition of Harlotry: Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 19:29.
  • Woman’s Cycle: And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she will be in her separation seven days: and whoever touches her will be unclean until the evening. And every thing that she lies upon in her separation will be unclean: every thing also that she sits upon will be unclean. And whoever touches her bed will wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. And whoever touches any thing that she sat upon will wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sits, when he touches it, he will be unclean until the evening. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he will be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lies will be unclean 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 15:19–24](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+15%3A19-24).
  • Seduction of an Unbetrothed Virgin: And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he will surely endow her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he will pay money according to the dowry of virgins π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 22:16–17.

  • False Accusation—No Divorce Allowed: And the Zaqanim of that city will take that man and chastise him; And they will amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he has brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Yashar'al: and she will be his wife; he may not put her away all his days π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 22:18–19.
  • No Return to First Husband: And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: and you will not cause the land to sin, which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah gives you for an inheritance π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 24:3–4.
  • Midwives Feared 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: And the king of Mitsrayim spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: And he said, When you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then you will kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she will live. But the midwives feared 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and did not as the king of Mitsrayim commanded them, but saved the men children alive. And the king of Mitsrayim called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have you done this thing, and have saved the men children alive? And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Mitsriy women; for they are lively, and are delivered before the midwives come in unto them. Therefore 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. And it came to pass, because the midwives feared 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, that He made them houses π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 1:15–21.
  • Widow Protection: You will not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

  • Daughter Sold as Servant—Protection: And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she will not go out as the menservants do. If she please not her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then will he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he will have no power, seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her. And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he will deal with her after the manner of daughters. If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, will he not diminish. And if he do not these three unto her, then she will go out free without money π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 21:7–11.

The Native-Born (Yasharal)

The native-born descendants of the twelve tribes carry the inheritance of the land and the duty of the Kohanim. While all are equal in the covenant, the administration of the land and the service of the Tabernacle are reserved for specific tribal lineages as an everlasting statute.

The Sojourner & Stranger

The Torah is clear that there is no "dual standard." Any person from the nations who joins themselves to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 and guards His covenant is grafted into the house of Yashar’al and is subject to the same requirements and blessings as the native-born.

Sacred Time & The Divine Calendar

This section outlines the timing of the Covenant. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has not left His people to follow the calendars of the nations or the cycles of the false sun-mighty ones. He has established His own rhythm of rest and meeting—from the weekly Shabbat to the annual Appointed Times—as a sign between Him and those who walk in The Way.


The Shabbat

The Shabbat is the first and most frequent sign of the Covenant. It is a day of complete cessation from worldly labor and a return to the rest of ALuah (Mighty One). It serves as a weekly reminder that 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 is the Creator and we are His people.

The Shabbat

  • Remember Shabbat: Remember the Shabbat day, to keep it Consecrated. Six days you will labor, and do all your work: But the seventh day is the Shabbat of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah: in it you will not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 20:8-10.
  • Prohibition of Fire: You will kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the Shabbat day π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 35:3.
  • The Delight of the Shabbat: If you turn away your foot from the Shabbat, from doing your pleasure on My Consecrated day; and call the Shabbat a delight, the Consecrated of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, honorable; and will honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: Then will you delight yourself in 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Ya'aqob your father: for the mouth of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has spoken it 𐀉𐀔𐀏𐀉𐀄𐀅 (YashaYAHU-Isaiah) 58:13-14.
  • Cessation of Travel: "See, for that 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has given you the Shabbat, therefore He gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day." — π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 16:29.
  • Shabbat as a Covenant Sign: You will keep the Shabbat therefore; for it is Consecrated unto you: every one that defiles it will surely be put to death: for whoever does any work therein, that soul will be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Shabbat of rest, Consecrated to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: whoever does any work in the Shabbat day, he will surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Yasharal will keep the Shabbat, to observe the Shabbat throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Yasharal for ever: for in six days 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 31:14-17.
  • Shabbat Breaking Judgment: And while the children of Yasharal were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Shabbat day. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moshah and Aharon, and unto all the congregation. And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 said unto Moshah, The man will be surely put to death: all the congregation will stone him with stones without the camp.

  • Preparation Day: And he said unto them, This is that which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has said, Tomorrow is the rest of the Consecrated Shabbat unto 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: bake that which you will bake today, and seethe that you will seethe; and that which remains over lay up for you to be kept until the morning π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 16:23.
  • Holy Assembly: Six days will work be done: but the seventh day is the Shabbat of rest, an Consecrated convocation; you will do no work therein: it is the Shabbat of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 in all your dwellings 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 23:3.
  • No Buying or Selling: And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the Shabbat day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the Shabbat, or on the Consecrated day π€π€„π€Œπ€‰π€„ (NehemiYAH-Nehemiah) 10:31.
  • No Burdens Carried: Thus says 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Shabbat day, nor bring it in by the gates of Yarushalayim; Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Shabbat day, neither do any work, but hallow you the Shabbat day, as I commanded your fathers π€‰π€“π€Œπ€‰π€„π€… (YarmiYAHU-Jeremiah) 17:21-22.
  • National Judgment for Profaning Shabbat: But if you will not listen unto Me to hallow the Shabbat day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Yarushalayim on the Shabbat day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it will devour the palaces of Yarushalayim, and it will not be quenched π€‰π€“π€Œπ€‰π€„π€… (YarmiYAHU-Jeremiah) 17:27.

Rosh Chodash (New Moon)

Rosh Chodash is the day of the new moon, marking the beginning of the biblical month. It is a Consecrated time for the people of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 to gather, blow the shofar, and honor the Creator who established the moon to signal the seasons and the Moadim.

The Annual Moadim (Appointed Times)

The Moadim are the rehearsals of the plan of redemption. They are the fixed times when 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 summons His people to meet with Him. While we are scattered, we guard these times in our dwellings as a memorial of the work of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀔𐀏 (Yahusha) and the promise of our return.

    • Removing Leaven: Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Yashar'al. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 12:15

    • Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) as a Fast: Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there will be a day of atonement: it will be a Consecrated convocation to you; and you will afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. And you will do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah [𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 23:27–28]. / And you will have on the tenth day of this seventh month a Consecrated convocation; and you will afflict your souls: you will not do any work in it [π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 29:7].

    • Note: The full observance of the Moadim—including the specific sacrificial offerings and the command to appear in Yarushalayim—cannot be perfectly fulfilled while the remnant is in exile and the Temple site is desolate. We observe the spirit and the timing of these days as a sign of our loyalty until the restoration.

    • Land: 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 spoke to Moshah in mount Sinai, saying, Speak to the children of Yashar'al, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you, then will the land keep a Shabbat to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 [𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:1–2].

    • Shamittah (Land Rest): Six years you will sow your field, and six years you will prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit of it; But in the seventh year will be a Shabbat of rest to the land, a Shabbat for 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: you will neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard [𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:3-4].

    • Fallow: That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you will not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest to the land. And the Shabbat of the land will be meat for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojourns with you, And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, will all the increase of it be meat [𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:5–7].

    • Counting: And you will number seven Shabbats of years to you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Shabbats of years will be to you forty and nine years. Then will you cause the trumpet of the Yobal to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement will you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land [𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:8–9].

    • Yobal (Jubilee): And you will hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all the inhabitants of it: it will be a Yobal to you; and you will return every man to his possession, and you will return every man to his family [𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:10].

    • Produce: A Yobal will that fiftieth year be to you: you will not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed. For it is the Yobal; it will be Consecrated to you: you will eat the increase of it out of the field [𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:11–12].

    • Provision: Therefore you will do My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them; and you will dwell in the land in safety. And the land will yield her fruit, and you will eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety. And if you will say, What will we eat the seventh year? Look, we will not sow, nor gather in our increase: Then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it will bring forth fruit for three years. And you will sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in you will eat of the old store [𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:18–22].

    • Release: At the end of every seven years you will make a release. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends anything to his neighbor will release it; he will not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄's release. To a foreigner you may exact it again: but that which is yours with your brother your hand will release; Save when there will be no poor among you; for 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 will greatly bless you in the land which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah gives you for an inheritance to possess it: Only if you carefully listen to the voice of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, to observe to do all these commandments which I command you this day. For 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah blesses you, as He promised you: and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow; and you will reign over many nations, but they will not reign over you [π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 15:1–6].

    • Lending: If there be among you a poor man of one of your brothers within any of your gates in your land which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah gives you, you will not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother: But you will open your hand wide to him, and will surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wants. Beware that there be not a thought in your wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing; and he cry to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 against you, and it be sin to you. You will surely give him, and your heart will not be grieved when you give to him: because that for this thing 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah will bless you in all your works, and in all that you put your hand to. For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command you, saying, You will open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor, and to your needy, in your land [π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 15:7–11].

    • Reading: And Moshah commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of Sukkoth, When all Yashar'al is come to appear before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah in the place which He will choose, you will read this Torah before all Yashar'al in their hearing. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and your stranger that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, and observe to do all the words of this Torah: And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, as long as you live in the land where you go over Yardan to possess it [π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 31:10–13].

    • Not Planting in the Eighth Year (if Yobal): "A Yobal shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed." — 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:11

    • Sounding the Yobal Shofar: "Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Yobal to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land." — 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:9

    • Note: These laws are land-dependent. While we are in the lands of our enemies, the land of Yashar’al lies desolate, resting as a consequence of our fathers' disobedience. We cannot enforce the release of debts or the fallowing of fields in the nations as we would in the Promised Land, yet we hold to the principle of mercy and release.

    Personal Conduct & Sanctification

    This section outlines the timing of the Covenant. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has not left His people to follow the calendars of the nations or the cycles of the false sun-mighty ones. He has established His own rhythm of rest and meeting—from the weekly Shabbat to the annual Appointed Times—as a sign between Him and those who walk in The Way.


    The Law of the Nazirite (Separation)

    The Nazirite vow is a special consecration where a man or woman places themselves apart to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 for a specific period. It is a path of extreme devotion, marked by physical signs and strict prohibitions that guard the Consecrated-identity of the individual during their time of separation.

    The Law of the Nazirite (Separation)

    • The Vow of the Nazirite: "Speak to the children of Yashar'al, and say to them: 'When either a man or woman consecrates an offering to take the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar made from wine or vinegar made from strong drink; neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or raisins. All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin. All the days of the vow of his separation no razor shall come upon his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, he shall be Consecrated. Then he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow. All the days that he separates himself to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 he shall not go near a dead body. He shall not make himself unclean even for his father or his mother, for his brother or his sister, when they die, because his separation to ALuah is on his head. All the days of his separation he shall be Consecrated to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄.'" — π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 6:2-8
    • Sudden Defilement: "And if anyone dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it. On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the Kohan, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting; and the Kohan shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body; and he shall sanctify his head that same day. He shall consecrate to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 the days of his separation, and bring a male lamb in its first year as a trespass offering; but the former days shall be lost, because his separation was defiled." — π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 6:9-12
    • Completion of the Vow: "Now this is the law of the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of meeting. And he shall present his offering to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: one male lamb in its first year without blemish as a burnt offering, one ewe lamb in its first year without blemish as a sin offering, one ram without blemish as a peace offering, a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their grain offering with their drink offerings. Then the Kohan shall bring them before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering; and he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of a peace offering to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, with the basket of unleavened bread; the Kohan shall also offer its grain offering and its drink offering. Then the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering." — π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 6:13-18
    • The Final Offering: "And the Kohan shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated hair, and the Kohan shall wave them as a wave offering before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄; they are Consecrated for the Kohan, together with the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering. After that the Nazirite may drink wine. This is the law of the Nazirite who vows to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever else his hand is able to provide; according to the vow which he takes, so he must do according to the law of his separation." — π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 6:19-21

    Interaction & Speech (Covenant Brotherhood)

    Walking in the Way requires the discipline of the tongue and the heart toward one's neighbor. These instructions ensure that the community of Yashar’al is built on truth, correction, and the refusal to stand idly by while a brother is in peril.

    • Land Animals (Clean Standard): "Speak unto the children of Yasharal, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that shall you eat."

And beneath upon the hem of it you will make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about. And it will be upon Aharon to minister: and his sound will be heard when he goes in unto the consecrated place before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and when he comes out, that he die not."

    Community, Justice & Civil Law

    Justice is the visible fruit of the Torah. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has established a system of civil conduct that protects the weak, ensures honest commerce, and maintains order within the congregation. While we are in the lands of our enemies, we lack the sovereign authority to execute the full civil penalties or manage the Cities of Refuge, yet we are commanded to maintain these standards of righteousness in our personal and community dealings.


    Justice & The Standards of Truth

    Righteous judgment is based on truth and the testimony of reliable witnesses. ALuah (Mighty One) hates a false balance and a lying tongue, especially in matters of legal standing.

You shall have a place also without the camp, whither you shall go forth abroad: And you shall have a paddle upon your weapon; and it shall be, when you will ease yourself abroad, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn back and cover that which comes from you: For 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore shall your camp be Consecrated: that He see no unclean thing in you, and turn away from you."

And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moshah: And they said unto Moshah, Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacks not one man of us. We have therefore brought an offering for 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄.

For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.

    The Sanctuary & The Kohanim

    The Kohanim (known as priests) are responsible for maintaining the Consecrated-nature of the people and the service of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. Their lives must reflect the purity of the instructions they guard.

    The Sanctuary & The Kohanim

    • Defilement Restrictions: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 said to Moshah, Speak to the Kohanim the sons of Aharon, and say to them, There will none be defiled for the dead among his people: But for his kin, that is near to him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, And for his sister a virgin, that is near to him, which has had no husband; for her may he be defiled. But he will not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. They will not make baldness upon their head, neither will they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:1–6

    • Profanation: And the daughter of any Kohan, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profanes her father: she will be burnt with fire. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:9

    • High-Kohan Purity: And he that is the high Kohan among his brothers, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, will not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; Neither will he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; Neither will he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his ALuah; for the crown of the anointing oil of his ALuah is upon him: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:10–12

    • Virginity Standard: And he will take a wife in her virginity. A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these will he not take: but he will take a virgin of his own people to wife. Neither will he profane his seed among his people: for I 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 do sanctify him. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:13–15

    • Blemishes in Kohanim: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 spoke to Moshah, saying, Speak to Aharon, saying, Whoever he be of your seed in their generations that has any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his ALuah. For whatsoever man he be that has a blemish, he will not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that has a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed, Or crook-backt, or a dwarf, or that has a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or has his stones broken; No man that has a blemish of the seed of Aharon the Kohan will come near to offer the offerings of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 made by fire: he has a blemish; he will not come near to offer the bread of his ALuah. He will eat the bread of his ALuah, both of the most Consecrated, and of the Consecrated. Only he will not go in to the vail, nor come near to the altar, because he has a blemish; that he profane not My sanctuaries: for I 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 do sanctify them. And Moshah told it to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yashar'al. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 21:16–24

    • Ministerial Purity: Speak to Aharon and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the Consecrated things of the children of Yashar'al, and that they profane not My Consecrated Name in those things which they hallow to Me: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. Say to them, Whoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goes to the Consecrated things, which the children of Yashar'al hallow to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul will be cut off from My presence: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. What man soever of the seed of Aharon is a leper, or has a running issue; he will not eat of the Consecrated things, until he be clean. And whoever touches any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him; Or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he has; The soul which has touched any such will be unclean until evening, and will not eat of the Consecrated things, unless he wash his flesh with water. And when the sun is down, he will be clean, and will afterward eat of the Consecrated things; because it is his food. That which dies of itself, or is torn with beasts, he will not eat to defile himself with it: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. They will therefore keep My ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 do sanctify them. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:1–9

    • Consumption of Consecrated Things: There will no stranger eat of the Consecrated thing: a sojourner of the Kohan, or an hired servant, will not eat of the Consecrated thing. But if the Kohan buy any soul with his money, he will eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they will eat of his meat. If the Kohan's daughter also be married to a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the Consecrated things. But if the Kohan's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she will eat of her father's meat: but there will no stranger eat thereof. And if a man eat of the Consecrated thing unwittingly, then he will put the fifth part thereof to it, and will give it to the Kohan with the Consecrated thing. And they will not profane the Consecrated things of the children of Yashar'al, which they offer to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄; Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their Consecrated things: for I 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 do sanctify them. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:10–16

    • Blemishes in Offerings: Speak to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yashar'al, and say to them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Yashar'al, or of the strangers in Yashar'al, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 for a burnt offering; You will offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats. But whatsoever has a blemish, that will you not offer: for it will not be acceptable for you. And whoever offers a sacrifice of Shalum offerings to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it will be perfect to be accepted; there will be no blemish therein. Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, you will not offer these to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. Either a bullock or a lamb that has any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that may you offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it will not be accepted. You will not offer to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither will you make any offering thereof in your land. Neither from a stranger's hand will you offer the bread of your ALuah of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they will not be accepted for you. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:17–25

    • Sanctification of Sacrifice: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 spoke to Moshah, saying, When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it will be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it will be accepted for an offering made by fire to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. And whether it be cow or ewe, you will not kill it and her young both in one day. And when you will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, offer it at your own will. On the same day it will be eaten up; you will leave none of it until the morrow: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. Therefore will you keep My commandments, and do them: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. Neither will you profane My Consecrated Name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Yashar'al: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 which hallow you, That brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your ALuah: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 22:26–33

    • The Kohan-Charge: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 said to Aharon, You and your sons and your father's house with you will bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and you and your sons with you will bear the iniquity of your Kohan-office. And your brothers also of the tribe of Lewi, the tribe of your father, bring you with you, that they may be joined to you, and minister to you: but you and your sons with you will minister before the tabernacle of witness. And they will keep your charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they will not come near the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor you also, die. And they will be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger will not come near to you. And you will keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Yashar'al. And I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Lewiyim from among the children of Yashar'al: to you they are given as a gift for 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 18:1–6

    • The Kohan Portion: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 spoke to Aharon, Behold, I also have given you the charge of My heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Yashar'al; to you have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to your sons, by an ordinance for ever. This will be yours of the most Consecrated things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs which they will render to Me, will be most Consecrated for you and for your sons. In the most Consecratedplace will you eat it; every male will eat it: it will be Consecrated to you. And this is yours; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Yashar'al: I have given them to you, and to your sons and to your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in your house will eat of it. All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they will offer to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, them have I given you. And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they will bring to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, will be yours; every one that is clean in your house will eat of it. Every thing devoted in Yashar'al will be yours. Every thing that opens the matrix in all flesh, which they bring to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, whether it be of men or beasts, will be yours: nevertheless the firstborn of man will you surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts will you redeem. And those that are to be redeemed from a month old will you redeem, according to your estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you will not redeem; they are Consecrated: you will sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and will burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. And the flesh of them will be yours, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are yours. All the heave offerings of the Consecrated things, which the children of Yashar'al offer to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, have I given you, and your sons and your daughters with you, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 to you and to your seed with you. π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 18:8–19

    • The Inheritance of the Lewiyim: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 spoke to Aharon, You will have no inheritance in their land, neither will you have any part among them: I am your part and your inheritance among the children of Yashar'al. And, behold, I have given the children of Lewi all the tenth in Yashar'al for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Neither must the children of Yashar'al henceforth come near the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. But the Lewiyim will do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they will bear their iniquity: it will be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Yashar'al they have no inheritance. But the tithes of the children of Yashar'al, which they offer as an heave offering to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, I have given to the Lewiyim to inherit: therefore I have said to them, Among the children of Yashar'al they will have no inheritance. π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 18:20–24

    • Guarding the Sanctuary: "And they shall be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come near to you." — π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 18:4

    • The Order of the Showbread: "And you shall place them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄." — 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 24:6-7

    • Unauthorized Fire (Strict Offering Order): And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aharon, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, which He commanded them not. And there went out fire from 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and devoured them, and they died before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 10:1–2

    • Sobriety in Service: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 spoke to Aharon, saying, Do not drink wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die: it will be a statute for ever throughout your generations: And that you may put difference between Consecrated and profane, and between unclean and clean; And that you may teach the children of Yashar'al all the statutes which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has spoken to them by the hand of Moshah. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 10:8–11

    • Eating the Offerings Properly: And Moshah spoke to Aharon, and to Al'azar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remains of the offerings of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most Consecrated: And you will eat it in the Consecrated place, because it is your due, and your sons' due, of the sacrifices of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 made by fire: for so I am commanded. And the wave breast and heave shoulder will you eat in a clean place; you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they be your due, and your sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of Shalum offerings of the children of Yashar'al. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 10:12–15

    • Washing Before Service: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 spoke to Moshah, saying, You will also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash with: and you will put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and you will put water therein. For Aharon and his sons will wash their hands and their feet thereat: When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they will wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: So they will wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it will be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 30:17–21

    • Sacred Garments Requirement: And take you unto you Aharon your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Yashar'al, that he may minister to Me in the Kohan-office, even Aharon, Nadab and Abihu, Al'azar and Ithamar, Aharon's sons. And you will make Consecrated garments for Aharon your brother for esteem and for beauty. And you will speak to all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the breath of wisdom, that they may make Aharon's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me in the Kohan-office. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 28:1–3

    • Continual Daily Offerings: Now this is that which you will offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. The one lamb you will offer in the morning; and the other lamb you will offer at evening: And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering. And the other lamb you will offer at evening, and will do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 29:38–41

    • Incense Offering (Authorized Only): And Aharon will burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresses the lamps, he will burn incense upon it. And when Aharon lights the lamps at evening, he will burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 throughout your generations. You will offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither will you pour drink offering thereon. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 30:7–9

    • Sacred Anointing Oil Restriction: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 spoke to Moshah, saying, Speak to the children of Yashar'al, saying, This will be a Consecrated anointing oil to Me throughout your generations. Upon man's flesh will it not be poured, neither will you make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is Consecrated, and it will be Consecrated to you. Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it upon a stranger, will even be cut off from his people. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 30:31–33

    • Teaching Responsibility of the Kohanim: They will teach Ya'aqob Your judgments, and Yashar'al Your Torah: they will put incense before You, and whole burnt sacrifice upon Your altar. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 33:10

    • Proper Altar Conduct: An altar of earth you will make to Me, and will sacrifice thereon your burnt offerings, and your Shalum offerings, your sheep, and your oxen: in all places where I record My Name I will come to you, and I will barak you. And if you will make Me an altar of stone, you will not build it of hewn stone: for if you lift up your tool upon it, you have polluted it. Neither will you go up by steps unto My altar, that your nakedness be not discovered thereon. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 20:24–26

    • Appointment of Judges: Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes. And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brothers, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. You will not respect persons in judgment; but you will hear the small as well as the great; you will not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is ALuah's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 1:13–17

You will not wrest judgment; you will not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Therefore will they have no inheritance among their brothers: 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 is their inheritance, as He has said to them. And this will be the Kohan's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they will give to the Kohan the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. The firstfruit also of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, will you give him.

And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 said to me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Messenger from among their brothers, like to you, and will put My words in his mouth; and he will speak to them all that I will command him. And it will come to pass, that whoever will not listen to My words which he will speak in My name, I will require it of him. But the messenger, which will presume to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that will speak in the name of other mighty ones, even that messenger will die. And if you say in your heart, How will we know the word which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has not spoken? When a messenger speaks in the name of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 has not spoken, but the messenger has spoken it presumptuously: you will not be afraid of him. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 18:15–22

And those which remain will hear, and fear, and will henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. And your eye will not pity; but life will go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 19:17–21

    • Supreme Judgment Authority (Final Ruling Must Be Obeyed): If there arise a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within your gates: then you will arise, and get you up into the place which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah will choose; And you will come unto the Kohanim the Lewiyim, and unto the judge that will be in those days, and inquire; and they will show you the sentence of judgment: And you will do according to the sentence, which they of that place which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 will choose will show you; and you will observe to do according to all that they inform you: According to the sentence of the Torah which they will teach you, and according to the judgment which they will tell you, you will do: you will not decline from the sentence which they will show you, to the right hand, nor to the left. And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not listen unto the Kohan that stands to minister there before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, or unto the judge, even that man will die: and you will put away the evil from Yashar'al.

    • Do Not Follow a Multitude to Pervert Judgment: You will not follow a multitude to do evil; neither will you speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: Neither will you countenance a poor man in his cause. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 23:2–3

    • Do Not Pervert Judgment of the Poor: You will not wrest the judgment of your poor in his cause. Keep yourself far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked. And you will take no gift: for the gift blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous. π€”π€Œπ€…π€• (Shamoth-Exodus) 23:6–8

    • Public Reading of the Torah Under Authority: And Moshah wrote this Torah, and delivered it unto the Kohanim the sons of Lewi, which bore the ark of the covenant of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, and unto all the elders of Yashar'al. And Moshah commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of Sukkoth, When all Yashar'al is come to appear before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah in the place which He will choose, you will read this Torah before all Yashar'al in their hearing. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and your stranger that is within your gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, and observe to do all the words of this Torah. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 31:9–12

    The Land, Barakah & The Scattered

    The Torah concludes its primary instructional cycle with the conditions for dwelling in the inheritance. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (YaHU'aH) established a land that requires rest, a people that requires Barakah (Blessing), and a warning of scattering that serves as a sign and a wonder upon the seed of Yasharal until the time of the return.

    • Land Enjoys Her Sabbaths in Desolation: Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her Sabbaths. As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:34–35
    • Forgetting 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 Leads to Destruction: And it shall be, if you do at all forget 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, and walk after other mighty ones, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. As the nations which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 destroys before your face, so shall you perish; because you would not be obedient unto the voice of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 8:19–20

    • Covenant Curses Declared Publicly: Cursed be the man that makes any graven or molten image, an abomination unto 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Ahmayn. Cursed be he that places light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Ahmayn. Cursed be he that removes his neighbor's landmark. And all the people shall say, Ahmayn. Cursed be he that makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Ahmayn.

Cursed be he that lies with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Ahmayn. Cursed be he that smites his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say, Ahmayn. Cursed be he that takes reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Ahmayn. Cursed be he that confirms not all the words of this Torah to do them.

    The Full Curses of Disobedience (Complete Deuteronomy Account):

    • Condition of Disobedience: But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen unto the voice of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command you this day; that all these curses shall come upon you, and overtake you.
    • Total Reversal of Barakah: Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field. Cursed shall be your basket and your store. Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your land, the increase of your kine, and the flocks of your sheep. Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.
    • Plagues, Disease, and Environmental Judgment: 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall send upon you cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that you place your hand unto for to do, until you be destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the wickedness of your doings, whereby you have forsaken Me. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall make the pestilence cleave unto you, until He have consumed you from off the land, whither you go to possess it. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall smite you with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue you until you perish. And your heaven that is over your head shall be brass, and the earth that is under you shall be iron. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall make the rain of your land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon you, until you be destroyed.
    • Defeat, Oppression, and Loss of Stability: 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall cause you to be smitten before your enemies: you shall go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shall be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. And your carcass shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 will smite you with the botch of Mitsrayim, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof you cannot be healed. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall smite you with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: And you shall grope at noonday, as the blind gropes in darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways: and you shall be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save you. You shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: you shall build an house, and you shall not dwell therein: you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes thereof. Your ox shall be slain before your eyes, and you shall not eat thereof: your donkey shall be violently taken away from before your face, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given unto your enemies, and you shall have none to rescue them.
    • Loss of Children and Fruit of Labor: Your sons and your daughters shall be given unto another people, and your eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in your hand. The fruit of your land, and all your labors, shall a nation which you know not eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always.
    • Mental Anguish and Physical Affliction: So that you shall be mad for the sight of your eyes which you shall see. 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall smite you in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot unto the top of your head.
    • Exile, Captivity, and Becoming a Byword: 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall bring you, and your king which you shall place over you, unto a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known; and there shall you serve other mighty ones, wood and stone. And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall lead you.
    • Fruitlessness and Economic Collapse: You shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. You shall plant vineyards, and dress them, but shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. You shall have olive trees throughout all your coasts, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olive shall cast his fruit. You shall beget sons and daughters, but you shall not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. All your trees and fruit of your land shall the locust consume. The stranger that is within you shall get up above you very high; and you shall come down very low. He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
    • Relentless Pursuit of Judgment: Moreover all these curses shall come upon you, and shall pursue you, and overtake you, till you be destroyed; because you listened not unto the voice of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you: And they shall be upon you for a sign and for a wonder, and upon your seed for ever.
    • Servitude and the Yoke of Iron: Therefore shall you serve your enemies which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and He shall put a yoke of iron upon your neck, until He have destroyed you.
    • Siege, Starvation, and Desperation: 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies; a nation whose tongue you shall not understand; A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young: And he shall eat the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land, until you be destroyed: which also shall not leave you either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of your kine, or flocks of your sheep, until he have destroyed you. And he shall besiege you in all your gates, until your high and fenced walls come down, wherein you trusted, throughout all your land: and he shall besiege you in all your gates throughout all your land, which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah has given you. And you shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah has given you, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith your enemies shall distress you.
    • Plagues Without End: If you will not observe to do all the words of this Torah that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and fearful Name, 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 YOUR ALuah; Then 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 will make your plagues wonderful, and the plagues of your seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover He will bring upon you all the diseases of Mitsrayim, which you were afraid of; and they shall cleave unto you. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this Torah, them will 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 bring upon you, until you be destroyed. And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because you would not obey the voice of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah. And it shall come to pass, that as 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and you shall be plucked from off the land whither you go to possess it.
    • Scattering and No Rest: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall scatter you among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there you shall serve other mighty ones, which neither you nor your fathers have known, even wood and stone. And among these nations shall you find no ease, neither shall the sole of your foot have rest: but 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall give you there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind.
    • Fear, Anxiety, and Torment: And your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you shall fear day and night, and shall have none assurance of your life. In the morning you shall say, Would ALuah it were even! and at even you shall say, Would ALuah it were morning! for the fear of your heart wherewith you shall fear, and for the sight of your eyes which you shall see.
    • Final Bondage and No Redemption by Man: And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 shall bring you into Mitsrayim again with ships, by the way whereof I spoke unto you, You shall see it no more again: and there you shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 28:15–68

    The Land & Its Shabbat

    The land itself is part of the Covenant. It is not a possession to be exploited, but a gift that must be given its rest, as the people must rest.

    The Land & Its Shabbat

    • The Seventh Year Rest: Speak unto the children of Yashar'al, and say unto them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Shabbat unto 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; But in the seventh year shall be a Shabbat of rest unto the land, a Shabbat for 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:2–4

    • The Yobal (Jubilee) Year: And you shall number seven Shabbats of years unto you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Shabbats of years shall be unto you forty and nine years. Then shall you cause the trumpet of the Yobal to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a Yobal unto you; and you shall return every man unto his possession, and you shall return every man unto his family. A Yobal shall that fiftieth year be unto you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vineyard undressed. For it is the Yobal; it shall be Consecrated unto you: you shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:8–12

    • The Provision for the Rest: Wherefore you shall do My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. And the land shall yield her fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. And if you shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: Then I will command My Barakah upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. And you shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in you shall eat of the old store. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:18–22

    • The Walk in Barakah: If you walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish My covenant with you. And you shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. And I will place My tabernacle among you: and My soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your ALuah, and you shall be My people. I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, which brought you forth out of the land of Mitsrayim, that you should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:3–13

    • Warnings Against Disobedience: But if you will not listen unto Me, and will not do all these commandments; And if you shall despise My statutes, or if your soul abhor My judgments, so that you will not do all My commandments, but that you break My covenant: I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart, and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And I will place My face against you, and you shall be slain before your enemies, they that hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when none pursues you. And if you will not yet for all this listen unto Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass. And your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. And if you walk contrary unto Me, and will not listen unto Me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number, and your high ways shall be desolate. And if you will not be reformed by Me by these things, but will walk contrary unto Me, then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of My covenant, and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight, and you shall eat, and not be satisfied. And if you will not for all this listen unto Me, but walk contrary unto Me, then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury, and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and My soul shall abhor you. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:14–31

    • Desolation of the Land: And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. Then shall the land enjoy her Shabbats, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies' land, even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her Shabbats. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:32–34

    • Scattering and Longing: As long as it lies desolate it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Shabbats, when you dwelt upon it. And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when none pursues. And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues, and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies. And you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands, and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:35–39

    • The Land Belongs to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 (No Perpetual Sale): The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me. And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a redemption for the land. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:23–24

    • Redemption of Land by Kinsman: If your brother be waxen poor, and has sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold. And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession. But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of Yobal: and in the Yobal it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:25–28

    • Houses in Cities vs Fields: And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it. And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the Yobal. But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the Yobal. Notwithstanding the cities of the Lewiyim, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Lewiyim redeem at any time. And if a man purchase of the Lewiyim, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the Yobal: for the houses of the cities of the Lewiyim are their possession among the children of Yashar'al. But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:29–34

    • Support to Prevent Loss of Inheritance: And if your brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with you; then you shall relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you. Take you no usury of him, or increase; but fear your ALuah; that your brother may live with you. You shall not give him your money upon usury, nor lend him your victuals for increase. I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:35–38

    • Servitude Tied to the Land Cycle (Release in Yobal): And if your brother that dwells by you be waxen poor, and be sold unto you; you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant: But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you unto the year of Yobal: And then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. For they are My servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Mitsrayim: they shall not be sold as bondmen. You shall not rule over him with rigor; but shall fear your ALuah. Both your bondmen, and your bondmaids, which you shall have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall you buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brothers the children of Yashar'al, you shall not rule one over another with rigor. And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by you, and your brother that dwells by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger's family: After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brothers may redeem him: Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself. And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of Yobal: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. And if there remain but few years unto the year of Yobal, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight. And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of Yobal, both he, and his children with him. For unto Me the children of Yashar'al are servants; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Mitsrayim: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 25:39–55

    • The Land Vomits Out Defilement: Defile not you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants. You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourns among you: (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) That the land spue not you out also, when you defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 18:24–28

    • Blood Defiles the Land: So you shall not pollute the land wherein you are: for blood it defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Defile not therefore the land which you shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 dwell among the children of Yashar'al. π€π€Œπ€ƒπ€π€“ (Bamidbar-Numbers) 35:33–34

    • The Land Under 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄’s Care (Blessing Structure): Therefore shall you keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither you go to possess it; And that you may prolong your days in the land, which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 swore unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that flows with milk and honey. For the land, whither you go in to possess it, is not as the land of Mitsrayim, from whence you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs: But the land, whither you go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of heaven: A land which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah cares for: the eyes of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 11:8–12

    • Withholding of Rain for Disobedience: Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other mighty ones, and worship them; And then 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄's wrath be kindled against you, and He shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest you perish quickly from off the good land which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 gives you. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 11:16–17

    • Confession and Restoration After Exile: If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have walked contrary unto Me; And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I remember My covenant with Ya'aqob, and also My covenant with Yitshaq, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her Shabbats, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised My judgments, and because their soul abhorred My statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them: for I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 their ALuah. But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Mitsrayim in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their ALuah: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:40–45

    • The Land Expels for Defilement (Reinforcement): You shall therefore keep all My statutes, and all My judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out. And you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them. But I have said unto you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, which has separated you from other people. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 20:22–24

    • Warning of Forgetfulness in Prosperity: For 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah for the good land which He has given you. Beware that you forget not 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command you this day: Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; And when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, which brought you forth out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of bondage; Who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint; Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that He might humble you, and that He might prove you, to do you good at your latter end; And you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. But you shall remember 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah: for it is He that gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto your fathers, as it is this day. And it shall be, if you do at all forget 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, and walk after other mighty ones, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. As the nations which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 destroys before your face, so shall you perish; because you would not be obedient unto the voice of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 8:7–20

    • Tithe of the Land’s Increase: You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year. And you shall eat before 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, in the place which He shall choose to place His Name there, the tithe of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks; that you may learn to fear 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah always. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 14:22–23

    • The Confession of Iniquity: If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against Me, and that also they have walked contrary unto Me; And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity: Then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her Shabbats, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised My judgments, and because their soul abhorred My statutes. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them: for I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 their ALuah. But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Mitsrayim in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their ALuah: I am 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄. 𐀅𐀉𐀒𐀓𐀀 (Wayyiqra-Leviticus) 26:40–45

And 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah will make you plenteous in every work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, for good: for 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 will again rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers: If you shall listen unto the voice of 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the Torah, and if you turn unto 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah with all your heart, and with all your soul. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 30:8–10

    • The Choice of Life: For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not hidden from you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very near unto you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it. See, I have place before you this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command you this day to love 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply: and 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah shall Barak you in the land whither you go to possess it. But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other mighty ones, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that you shall surely perish, and that you shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither you pass over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have place before you life and death, Barakah and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live: That you may love 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, and that you may obey His voice, and that you may cleave unto Him: for He is your life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land which 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 30:11–20

When you are in tribulation, and all these things are come upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn to 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah, and shall be obedient unto His voice; (For 𐀉𐀄𐀅𐀄 your ALuah is a merciful ALuah;) He will not forsake you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore unto them. π€ƒπ€π€“π€‰π€Œ (Dabariym-Deuteronomy) 4:29–31

    • Confession Toward the Land in Captivity: If they sin against You, (for there is no man that sins not,) and You be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near; Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto You in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness; And so return unto You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto You toward their land, which You gave unto their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your Name: Then hear You their prayer and their supplication in heaven Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause, And forgive Your people that have sinned against You, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against You, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them. 1 Kings 8:46–50
