Where This Teaching is Going
The Command to Live in Booths
Only Native Born Sons are to Live in Booths?
Only Men are to “Go Up”?
Avraham’s Journey in Tents
The Exodus and the Journey
The Pillar of Cloud and of Fire
“Take Up Your Cross and Follow Me”Slide6
The Command to Live in Booths
Live
in booths (Heb.
tKoïSu
or "sukkot") for seven days: All native-born sons of
Yisrael
are to live in booths so your descendants will know that I had the sons of
Yisrael
live in booths when I brought them out of
Mitzrayim
. I am
Yehovah
your Elohim.'" (
Vayiqra
23:42-43)Slide7
The First Stop: Sukkoth
The
sons of
Yisrael
journeyed from
Rameses
to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. (
Shemot
12:37
)Slide8
The
Hebrew word
sukkot
is
the plural form of the word
sukkah
, (Hebrew,
hK'su
) which
can mean
a thicket, a booth made of inter-woven boughs
. This booth could be a shelter in the field for cattle, a shelter for workers in the field at harvest time, or for men in battle, or a shelter from the sun.
This
is why the place where they stopped for the night was called
Sukkot
- they pitched their tents and erected their
temporary shelters
there to sleep.Slide9
All Native Born Sons Are to Live in Booths
Only native born sons?
Live
in booths for seven days: All native-born sons of
Yisrael
are to live in booths (
Vayikra
[Leviticus]
23:42)
Native born (Hebrew,
xr"z
>
a,h
'
) – arising from, native born, full citizen. Compare
mizrach
shemesh
“arising sun”Slide10
Read inclusively, not
exclusively – “All” not “Only”
Could a native son but not his father be included?
Were
all those who lived in booths in the wilderness native-born Israelites? What about the mixed throng? The Egyptians who joined them
?
There
is one Torah for the native born and for the alien
. (Ex 12:49)
You are to have
one Right-ruling (
mishpat
)
for the alien and the native-born
. (Lev 24:22)Slide11
Only Men are Commanded to “Go Up”?
“Only Men” or “All Men”?Slide12
Three
times a year
all your men
must appear before
Yehovah
your
Elohim
at the place he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Tabernacles. No man should appear before
Yehovah
empty-handed: Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way
Yehovah
your
Elohim
has blessed you
.(
Deut
16:16-17)Slide13
Three
times a year all the men
are to appear before Adonai
Yehovah
. (
Shemot
[Exodus] 23:17)
Three times a year all your men
are to appear before Adonai
Yehovah
, the Elohim of
Yisrael
. (
Shemot
[Exodus] 34:23)Slide14
But you are to seek the place
Yehovah
your Elohim will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for his dwelling.
To that place you must go
; there bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, what you have vowed to give and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
There, in the presence of
Yehovah
your Elohim, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice
in everything you have put your hand to, because
Yehovah
your Elohim has blessed you. (
Devarim
12:5-7)Slide15
Count off seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain. Then celebrate the Feast of Weeks to
Yehovah
your Elohim by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings
Yehovah
your Elohim has given you. And rejoice before
Yehovah
your Elohim at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name--
you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, the Levites in your towns, and the aliens, the fatherless and the widows living among you
. Remember that you were slaves in
Mitzrayim
, and follow carefully these decrees. (
Devarim
16:9-12)Slide16
Celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.
Be joyful at your Feast-- you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levites, the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns
. For seven days celebrate the Feast to
Yehovah
your Elohim at the place
Yehovah
will choose. For
Yehovah
your Elohim will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete. (
Devarim
16:13-15)Slide17
Then
Mosheh
commanded them: "At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts, during the Feast of Tabernacles, when all
Yisrael
comes to appear before
Yehovah
your Elohim at the place he will choose, you shall read this Torah before them in their hearing.
Assemble the people-- men, women and children, and the aliens living in your towns-- so they can listen and learn to fear
Yehovah
your Elohim and follow carefully all the words of this law
.
Their children, who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear
Yehovah
your Elohim
as long as you live in the land you are crossing the
Yarden
to possess." (
Devarim
31:10-13)Slide18
23
Three times a year all your men are to appear before Adonai
Yehovah
, the Elohim of
Yisrael
.
24
I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory,
and no one will covet your land
when you go up three times each year to appear before
Yehovah
your Elohim
. (Exodus
34:23-24)
Read
inclusively, not
exclusively
Why 3 Times a year?Slide19
Avraham’s Walk of Faith
ddSlide20
27
This is the account of
Terah
.
Terah
became the father of
Avram
,
Nahor
and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.
28
While his father
Terah
was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth.
29
Avram
and
Nahor
both married. The name of
Avram's
wife was Sarai, and the name of
Nahor's
wife was
Milcah
; she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both
Milcah
and
Iscah
. (
Ber
11)Slide21
30
Now Sarai was barren; she had no children.
31
Terah
took his son
Avram
, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son
Avram
, and
together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan
. But when they came to Haran,
they settled there
.
32
Terah
lived 205 years, and he died in Haran
. (
Bereshith
11)Slide22
Terah
set out for Canaan, but stopped in Haran and settled there. Then he died there!
Why did
Terah
set out for Canaan?
Why did
Terah
stop in Haran?
Avram
pressed on further…Slide23
Now
Yehovah
said to
Avram
, "Walk yourself (Hebrew,
lech
lecha
) from your land, your relatives, and your father's household to the land that I will show you. Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, but the one who treats you lightly I will curse, and all the families of the earth will be blessed in you."
So
Avram
left, just as
Yehovah
had told him to do
.... (Genesis [
Bereshith
] 12:1-3)Slide24
12:4 So
Avram
left,
just as
Yehovah
had told him
to
do
;
and Lot went with him.
Avram
was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran.
5
He
took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and
they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there
.Slide25
6
Avram
traveled through the land as far as the oak tree of
Moreh
at
Shechem
....
8 Then he moved from there
toward the hills east of Bethel
and
pitched his tent
...
9
Avram
continually journeyed....Slide26
13:3 And he journeyed from place to place from the
Negev as far as
Bethel,
to the place between Bethel and Ai
where his tent had been
earlier
.
5 Now
Lot, who was moving about with
Avram
, also had flocks and herds
and tents
.
12
Avram
settled in the land of Canaan, but Lot settled ... and
pitched his
tents
next
to Sodom.... Slide27
14
Yehovah
said to Avram after Lot had parted from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look north and south, east and west.
15
All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever.
17
Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."
18
So
Avram
moved his tents and went to live
near the great trees of
Mamre
at Hebron, where he built an altar to
Yehovah
.Slide28
Avram
picked up his
tent
and proceeded wherever
Yehovah told him to go.
Every time
Yehovah
told
Avram
to move,
Avram
pulled up his tent stakes and moved.
Back to the Exodus…Slide29
After leaving Sukkoth they camped at
Etham
on the edge of the desert. By day
Yehovah
went ahead of them in a
pillar of cloud
to guide them on their way and by night in a
pillar of fire
to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people. (
Shemot
13:20-22
)Slide30
In all the travels of the sons of
Yisrael
, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out-- until the day it lifted. So the cloud of
Yehovah
was over the tabernacle by day, and
fire was in the cloud
by night, in the sight of all the house of
Yisrael
during all their travels. (
Shemot
40:36-38)Slide31
Travelling in the Wilderness
On the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle--the tent of the
Appointment
--
and from evening until morning there was a fiery appearance over the tabernacle. This is the way it used to be continually: The cloud would cover it by day, and there was a fiery appearance by night. (
Bamidbar
9:15-16)Slide32
Taking up and Putting Down
Whenever the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the sons of
Yisrael
would
“pull up”;
and in whatever place the cloud settled, there the sons of
Yisrael
would
encamp
.
At the commandment of
Yehovah
the sons of
Yisrael
would
“pull up”,
and at the commandment of
Yehovah
they would
encamp
(
Bamidbar
9:17-18)Slide33

“Take Up Your Cross and Follow Me
”
Re-interpreting
this Saying of
Yeshua
in Light of Its Hebraic ContextSlide37
Take Up Your Cross
Then Yeshua said to his disciples, "If anyone wants to follow after me, he must deny himself,
take up his
cross
, and follow me
. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life? (
Mattityahu
16:24-26).Slide38
Where in the Torah?
“Take up your cross?”
Lose your life for his sake to find it?
Follow me?Slide39

Anachronism
Wikipedia:
is a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of person(s), events, objects, or customs from different periods of time. Often the item misplaced in time is an object, but it may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material, a custom, or anything else associated with a particular period in time so that it is incorrect to place it outside its proper temporal domain
. “Cross” instead of “stake”Slide42
A Hebraic Understanding
The cultural context of this word indicates that
Yeshua was saying, ”pull up your stakes and follow me
.”
Abraham pulled up his tent stakes and walked wherever
Yehovah
led him.
The Israelites pulled up their tent stakes and followed the fire and the cloud
.
This is the manner in which we followSlide43
Matthew 10
34
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35
For I have come to turn "'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--
36
a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'Slide44
Matthew 10
37
"Anyone who
loves his father or mother more than me
is not worthy of me; anyone who
loves his son or daughter more than me
is not worthy of me;
38
and anyone who does not take his
cross (
pull up tent stakes)
and follow me is not worthy of me
.
39
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it
.
Where in the Torah does it teach us about family?Slide45
Valuing
Yeshua
Above Family
Walk yourself (Hebrew,
lech

)
from your land, your relatives, and your father's household
to the land that I will show you
. (
Bereshith
12:1)
The Call is to leave your old life behind
including family if they are not answering the call.
To be his true disciple calls for difficult and sometimes radical changes in our live and
lifestyles and in the choices we makeSlide46
My Response of Faith
I need to give up on the Saturday sporting event
I need to give up celebrating Christmas, Easter,
Halloween. Doesn’t matter
whether based on the birth of Jesus, or a secular holiday, or even as a family traditional get together
“Come
out from among them and be separate
…and
I will receive
you”

Yeshua
in the Cloud and in the Fire
Transfiguration – Matthew 17:1-8
Yeshua was “
lit up
”
While
he was still speaking,
a bright cloud
enveloped them, and
a voice from the cloud
said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him
!“ (

A reminder of the fire by day and the cloud by night, which they were to always follow by pulling up their tent stakes!Slide48
How Do We Live Out the Feast of
Tabernacles in Our Every Day Life?
When you enter the land….
Follow
Yeshua
wherever he
leads
Come together at each of the Appointed Times
It’s not so much about carrying your execution stake as it is about listening to
Yah’s
voice and following
Yeshua
wherever he directs you.Slide49
