Chapter 14

14. Chapter 14

    1. [Lev 14:1-32 NKJV]

       1. 1 Then the YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “This shall be the law of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest. 3 “And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall examine [him]; and indeed, [if] the leprosy is healed in the leper, 4 “then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living [and] clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop. 5 “And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water. 6 “As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird [that was] killed over the running water. 7 “And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field. 8 “He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent seven days. 9 “But on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows—all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean. 10 “And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, three-tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and one log of oil. 11 “Then the priest who makes [him] clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before YHWH, [at] the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 12 “And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer it as a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them [as] a wave offering before YHWH. 13 “Then he shall kill the lamb in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a holy place; for as the sin offering [is] the priest’s, so [is] the trespass offering. It [is] most holy. 14 “The priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put [it] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 15 “And the priest shall take [some] of the log of oil, and pour [it] into the palm of his own left hand. 16 “Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that [is] in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before YHWH. 17 “And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest shall put [some] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering. 18 “The rest of the oil that [is] in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed. So the priest shall make atonement for him before YHWH. 19 “Then the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering. 20 “And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean. 21 “But if he [is] poor and cannot afford it, then he shall take one male lamb [as] a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, one-tenth [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, a log of oil, 22 “and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford: one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. 23 “He shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, before YHWH. 24 “And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them [as] a wave offering before YHWH. 25 “Then he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass offering and put [it] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot. 26 “And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand. 27 “Then the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger [some] of the oil that [is] in his left hand seven times before YHWH. 28 “And the priest shall put [some] of the oil that [is] in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering. 29 “The rest of the oil that [is] in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before YHWH. 30 “And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he can afford— 31 “such as he is able to afford, the one [as] a sin offering and the other [as] a burnt offering, with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before YHWH. 32 “This [is] the law [for one] who had a leprous sore, who cannot afford the usual cleansing.”

       2. [2Ki 5:2-27 NKJV] 2 And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She waited on Naaman’s wife. 3 Then she said to her mistress, “If only my master [were] with the prophet who [is] in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.” 4 And [Naaman] went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl who [is] from the land of Israel.” 5 Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand [shekels] of gold, and ten changes of clothing. 6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy. 7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “[Am] I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.” 8 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and [you shall] be clean.” 11 But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out [to me], and stand and call on the name of Yahuah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’ 12 “[Are] not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, [if] the prophet had told you [to do] something great, would you not have done [it]? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” 14 So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, “Indeed, now I know that [there is] no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.” 16 But he said, “[As] Yahuah lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take [it], but he refused. 17 So Naaman said, “Then, if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahuah. 18 “Yet in this thing may Yahuah pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may Yahuah please pardon your servant in this thing.” 19 Then he said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a short distance. 20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but [as] Yahuah lives, I will run after him and take something from him.” 21 So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw [him] running after him, he got downt from the chariot to meet him, and said, “[Is] all well?” 22 And he said, “All [is] well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Indeed, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of s ilver and two changes of garments.’ ” 23 So Naaman said, “Please, take two talents.” And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed [them] to two of his servants; and they carried [them] on ahead of him. 24 When he came to the citadel, he took [them] from their hand, and stored [them] away in the house; then he let the men go, and they departed. 25 Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where [did you go], Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant did not go anywhere.” 26 Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go [with you] when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? [Is it] time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants? 27 “Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever.” And he went out from his presence leprous, [as white] as snow.

       3. [1Co 15:20-29 KJV] 20 But now is Mashiach risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Mashiach shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Mashiach the firstfruits; afterward they that are Mashiach’s at his coming. 24 Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

       4. [Rev 20:11-15 KJV] 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

       5. [Jas 1:12-15 NKJV] 12 Blessed [is] the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which YAHUAH has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

       6. [1Co 15:50-58 KJV] 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? 56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. 57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Yahusha Ha’Mashiach. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of YAHUAH, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in YAHUAH.

    2. [Lev 14:33-57 NKJV]

       1. 33 And YHWH spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 34 “When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and I put the leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession, 35 “and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that [there is] some plague in the house,’ 36 “then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes [into it] to examine the plague, that all that [is] in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house. 37 “And he shall examine the plague; and indeed [if] the plague [is] on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be deep in the wall, 38 “then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days. 39 “And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look; and indeed [if] the plague has spread on the walls of the house, 40 “then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which [is] the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city. 41 “And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. 42 “Then they shall take other stones and put [them] in the place of [those] stones, and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house. 43 “Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered, 44 “then the priest shall come and look; and indeed [if] the plague has spread in the house, it [is] an active leprosy in the house. It [is] unclean. 45 “And he shall break down the house, its stones, its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry [them] outside the city to an unclean place. 46 “Moreover he who goes into the house at all while it is shut up shall be unclean until evening. 47 “And he who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes. 48 “But if the priest comes in and examines [it], and indeed the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 49 “And he shall take, to cleanse the house, two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop. 50 “Then he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water; 51 “and he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times. 52 “And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and the running water and the living bird, with the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet. 53 “Then he shall let the living bird loose outside the city in the open field, and make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean. 54 “This [is] the law for any leprous sore and scale, 55 “for the leprosy of a garment and of a house, 56 “for a swelling and a scab and a bright spot, 57 “to teach when [it is] unclean and when [it is] clean. This [is] the law of leprosy.”

    3. [Jhn 4:7-29 KJV] 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Yahusha saith unto her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10 Yahusha answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13 Yahusha answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16 Yahusha saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Yahusha said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Yahusha saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Mashiach: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Yahusha saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he]. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Mashiach?

    4. [Jhn 7:37-39 KJV] 37 In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Yahusha stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Yahusha was not yet glorified.)

    5. [Rev 7:13-17 KJV] 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
