YHWH’s 2 Covenants With Ancient Israel

Deuteronomy 29:1 [1] These are the words of the covenant, which YHWH commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, . . . . . . . . beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb (Mt. Sinai).

(we will see the differences as we proceed)

The Book of the Covenant vs. The Book of the Law

Book of the Covenant

• Book of the Law

Exodus 24:7 Deuteronomy 29:21 *II Kings 23:2 Deuteronomy 30:10 *II Chronicles 34:30 Deuteronomy 31:26 Joshua 1:8 Joshua 8:31, 34 Joshua 23:6 Joshua 24:26 II Kings 14:6 II Kings 22:8, 11 II Chronicles 17:9 II Chronicles 34:14, 15 Nehemiah 8:1, 3, 18 Nehemiah 9:3 Galatians 3:10

• Not to mention the many times it is called the Law of Moses.

Sinai Covenant: The Book of the Covenant

Exodus 19 - The initiating proposal, Pre-acceptance, the nation sanctified. Exodus 20 – The 10 Commandments, the people request not to hear YHWH’s voice. Exodus 21-23 – The Judgements, Civil codes, Appointed times, Shmita year (Seventh Year Sabbath). Exodus 24 - Post Acceptance, the Final Acceptance, Blood Ratification, and the Covenant Confirming Meal.

Blood Covenant – Marriage Covenant

Sinai Covenant: The Book of the Covenant

Exodus 24:3-11

[3] And Moses came and told the people all the words of YHWH, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which YHWH hath said will we do. [4] And Moses wrote all the words of YHWH, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of

• Israel. [5] And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which
• ffered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto
• YHWH. [6] And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and

half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. [7] And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that YHWH hath said will we do, and be obedient. [8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which YHWH hath made with you concerning all these

• words. [9] Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and

seventy of the elders of Israel: [10] And they saw the Elohim of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. [11] And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw Elohim, and did eat and drink.

So if the Covenant is made and ratified – what is the rest of Exodus thru Deuteronomy?

Sinai Covenant or Moab Covenant Book of the Covenant or Book of the Law

Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner

• f men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it

be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

So if the Covenant is made and ratified – what is the rest of Exodus thru Deuteronomy?

Sinai Covenant or Moab Covenant Book of the Covenant or Book of the Law

Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHWH your Elohim that I command you.

9

Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHWH your Elohim that I command you. Is it a change to Torah, . . . . . . . . to enact a change that is in Torah? Genesis 49:10 [10] The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

10

Hebrews 7:11-16 [11] If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? [12] For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. [13] For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. [14] For it is evident that our Master sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. [15] And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, [16] Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

11

Hebrews 9:1-10 [1] . . . . also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. [2] For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the

• sanctuary. [3] And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is

called the Holiest of all; [4] Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; [5] And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak

• particularly. [6] Now when these things were thus ordained, the

priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of Elohim. [7] But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: [8] The Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: [9] Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were

• ffered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did

the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; [10] Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal

• rdinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

What animals were Sacrificed and what was sprinkled? Covenant at SINAI (HOREB) and MOAB

Sinai Covenant – Exodus 24:5-8 [5] And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto YHWH.[6] And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. [7] And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that YHWH hath said will we do, and be obedient. [8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which YHWH hath made with you concerning all these words. Moab Covenant – Hebrews 9:19-21 [19] For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, [20] Saying, This is the blood of the testament which Elohim hath enjoined unto you. [21] Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

Questions Regarding Ancient Israel

We know that the Levites/the Sons of Aaron became the Priests of Israel after the Golden Calf incident. Transitioned from a nation of Priests to a nation with Priests! Who were the priests in scripture and in Israel before that?

20

Who were the priests prior to the Aaronic prieshood?

Exodus 19:5-6 [5] Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: [6] And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. [22] And let the priests also, which come near to YHWH, sanctify themselves, lest YHWH break forth upon them. [24] And YHWH said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto YHWH, lest he break forth upon them.

21

Who were the priests prior to the Aaronic prieshood?

Numbers 3:12-13

[12] And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children

• f Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

[13] Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am YHWH.

22

Melchizedek Priests

II Peter 2:4-5 [4] For if Elohim spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; [5] And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

25

Questions Regarding Ancient Israel

We know that the Levites/the Sons of Aaron became the Priests of Israel after the Golden Calf incident and tithes and offerings were overseen by them. Who did the Israelites give their tithes and who did the offerings before that?

26

Tithes Before the Levitical Priesthood

Genesis 14:18-20 [18] And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high Elohim. [19] And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high Elohim, possessor of heaven and earth: [20] And blessed be the most high Elohim, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Genesis 28:20-22 [20] And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If Elohim will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, [21] So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall YHWH be my Elohim: [22] And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be Elohim's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

27

Offerings Before the Levitical Priesthood

Cain and Able (Genesis 4:3-5) Noah (Genesis 8:20) Abraham (Genesis 22:1-6) Jacob (Genesis 35:14) Jethro – Moses Father-in-law (Exodus 18:11-12) Exodus 20:24-25 (Book of the Covenant) [24] An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt

• fferings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I

record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. [25] And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Exodus 24:4-5 (Book of the Covenant) [4] And Moses wrote all the words of YHWH, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of

• Israel. [5] And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt
• fferings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto YHWH.

Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? No Levitical Priesthood until after the Golden Calf So this must be talking about the “Book of the Law”, not the “Book of the Covenant”

29

Galatians 3:17-18 [17] And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of Elohim in Messiah, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. [18] For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more

promise.

Galatians 3:17-18

[17] And this I say, that the covenant (1), that was confirmed before of Elohim in Messiah, the law (2), which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise (3) of none effect. [18] For if the inheritance (1) be of the law (2), it is no more of promise (3): but Elohim gave it to Abraham by promise (3). The Book of the Covenant (1) is the inheritance (1) or Answer to the Promise Covenant (3) made in Genesis 15. The Inheritance Covenant/Book of the Covenant(1) along with the promise (3) made at Genesis 15 are NOT part of the Book of the Law (2).

Galatians 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Exodus 19.8 & Exodus 24:3 the children of Israel answered; “all that הוהי has spoken we will do.” and they accepted the Book of the Covenant law IN FAITH, so Galatians 3:12 CANNOT be referring to Book of the Covenant but a SEPARATE law that was NOT OF FAITH.

34

Sinai Covenant or Moab Covenant Book of the Covenant or Book of the Law Troublesome Scriptures Clarified?

Hebrews 10:1-8 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. [2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. [3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. [4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away

• sins. [5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,

Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: [6] In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. [7] Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O

• Elohim. [8] Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and

burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

35

Book of the Covenant or Book of the Law Troublesome Scriptures Clarified?

Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of YHWH thy Elohim, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: Deuteronomy 29:21 And YHWH shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law: Is this speaking of the Book of the Covenant or the Book of the Law? The Book of the Covenant only had maybe one curse. Exodus 20:4-6 [4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: [5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I YHWH thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; [6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

36

Book of the Covenant or Book of the Law Troublesome Scriptures Clarified?

2 Corinthians 3:12-18 [12] Seeing then that we have

such hope, we use great plainness of speech: [13] And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: [14] But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Messiah. [15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. [16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to Messiah, the vail shall be taken away. [17] Now YHWH is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of YHWH is, there is liberty. [18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of YHWH, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of YHWH.

37

Book of the Covenant or Book of the Law Troublesome Scriptures Clarified?

• The Jewish “vail” of confusion in reading the Old

Testament is that Most Jews understand that the ‘Law of Moses’ preserved the lives of Israel for violation of the covenant.

• Most Jews do NOT fully recognize that the ‘Law of Moses’

which is the “Book of the Law” (Moab Covenant) was to remain IN ADMINISTRATION only UNTIL the death penalty position could be paid (the Genesis 49:10 ‘Until Shiloh comes’ clause) allowing all Israel access back to the covenants of promise; of which the Book of the law of Moses is NOT. And re-establishing the Melchizedek Priest.

38

Book of the Covenant or Book of the Law Troublesome Scriptures Clarified?

• The Christian “vail” of confusion in reading the Old

Testament is that most Christians don’t know that much of the ‘Law of Moses’ was rendered useless when Yahshua established a new blood covenant and re-established the Melchizedek priesthood.

• Most Christians do NOT fully understand that the ‘Law of

Moses’ was a distinct law enacted and not the whole of the Old Testament ‘covenant law’.

• Most Christians do NOT realize that the blood covenant

that was made new by Yahshua has Torah/teachings – covenant law and instructions attached to it.

• Most Christians set aside TOO MUCH of the Instructions
• f covenant because of a misunderstanding of the law and

grace.

39

Troublesome Scriptures Clarified?

The veil is there for BOTH Christian and Jew UNTIL, their hearts are turned to הוהי covenants of promise and follow the ‘teaching and instructions/torah of the covenants of promise. Ephesians 2:12-15 That at that time ye were without Messiah, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Messiah Yahshua ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of

• Messiah. For Yahshua is our peace, He who has made both one, and

has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is the (Book of the) Law of commandments contained in ordinances (not covenant), so as to create in Himself ONE NEW MAN from the two thus making SHALOM.

Book of the Covenant or Book of the Law Troublesome Scriptures Clarified?

1 Chronicles 16:7-17

[7] Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank YHWH into the hand of Asaph and his brethren. [8] Give thanks unto YHWH, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. [9] Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. [10] Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek YHWH. [11] Seek YHWH and his strength, seek his face continually. [12] Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; [13] O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. [14] He is YHWH our Elohim; his judgments are in all the earth. [15] Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; [16] Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; [17] And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

Circumcision: Circumcision was a sign of the covenant with Abraham and his decedents. After the Golden Calf incident those children were no longer circumcised until under Joshua, they were circumcised going into the Promised Land.

Why Tablets of Stone?

Exodus 24:3-11

[3] And Moses came and told the people all the words of YHWH, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which YHWH hath said will we do.

[11] And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw Elohim, and did eat and drink.

44

Why Tablets of Stone?

Exodus 24:12 [12] And YHWH said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

45

Why Tablets of Stone?

Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and I will give them an heart of flesh: Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

46

Why Tablets of Stone?

II Corinthians 3:3 For you know that you are a letter of The Messiah that is ministered by us, written not in ink, but by The Spirit of THE LIVING Elohim, not in tablets of stone, but in tablets of hearts of flesh.

• 2. Clarifies scripture, especially the N.T.
• 3. The “Covenants of Promise” extend from

Abram, to Israel at Sinai, to Israel in the New Covenant restored by the Messiah and to the future at the “Wedding Supper of the Lamb”.
