The Hebrew word for "dead" is revealed to mean something deeper and greater than the simple surface definition and Ro'eh makes a connection to a statement that Yeshua makes when he says “the dead are to bury their own dead." Ro'eh Richard also makes a connection to the previous parasha when it says in Leviticus 20:27 that a spiritist or medium is to be put to death. Ro'eh also poses the questions, "Why is a leader worthy of double honor? And why are we to submit to the leaders that Hashem puts in our lives?" These questions are answered by Ro'eh Richard in a very enlightening way. Also in this parasha, it says a daughter of a priest is to be burned if she commits adultery. Why the burning and not the typical prescribed manner of punishment of death by stoning? We'll see the importance and the distinction between a daughter of Am Yisrael and a daughter of a priest. This week our Haftorah teaching is delivered by Ro'eh Richard from Ezekiel 44:15-31 and the New Covenant E-drash is delivered by Brother Mark from Matthew 5:38-42.We hope and pray that you find blessing in our teachings.
