Torah Portion "בהעלתך/Beha'alotecha" which means "When you Kindle," delivered on June 18, 2022. This week's portion covers Numbers/Bemidbar 8:1-12:16 and begins, "And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying, 'Speak to Aharon, and say to him, "When you ascend to trim the lamps, let the seven lamps give light in front of the lampstand." ' "In his teaching today, Ro’eh covered a lot of material that was gleaned from just the verses found in Numbers 10:28-30. He revealed similarities between the stories of Yitro (Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law) and Ruth. We also learned the importance of the order and positions of the tribes when moving from one site to the next, and why it is important to stop comparing our present circumstances to our past, and to stop complaining about it. How is complaining like hatred, and what is the opposite of complaining? We also learn the mussar (character trait) that is found in this portion, that of humility (anavah in Hebrew). Scripture says that Moses was the “most humble man on earth.” What does it mean to be humble, and how can we begin to emulate the humility of Moses as well as that of our Messiah, Yeshua?This week Brother Mark delivers our Haftorah teaching from Zechariah 2:10-4:7 and the New Covenant E-drash out of Hebrews 3:1-6 is brought by Ro'eh Richard. We hope and pray that you find blessing in our teachings. We ask that you please join us each week as we dig deep into scripture to learn more about the God of Israel, and reveal the Messiah throughout the Old Testament.Pastor Richard CortesThe Foundation of The Word Outreach Ministrieswww.thefoundationoftheword.orgAaronic Priestly Blessing performed by Rico Cortes of Wisdom In Torah Ministries https://wisdomintorah.com and used by permission.
