Whose Commands Are They? Moses, Yahweh or Yeshua?
Is it Law or Grace? If it is Law, whose Law is it?
The Bible Commandments
Torah Portion #54 V’Zot HaBrachah (Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12)
This is the last Torah Portion of the cycle. In this Torah Portion Moses blesses the people and after seeing the land the children of Israel are about to enter, Moses dies.
Torah Portion #52 Vayelekh (Deuteronomy 31:1-30)
In this Torah portion we see the change in leadership. it’s Moses last days and Joshua becomes Israel’s leader. This portion is a public reading of the book of Instruction. The portion ends with Israel’s disobedience predicted.
In regular years read with Parashah 51, in leap years read separately.
Torah Portion #51 Nitzavim (Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20)
This Torah Portion is short but you can sum up much of the Toarh in this important teaching. Basically a call for commitment to Our Creator is spoken about. Moses also gives his thried address explaining to the people of what they must do and how their heart must be. It was left up to each person. They had a choice of life or death. We have that same choice today.
In regular years this Torah portion is read with Parashah 52, in leap years read separately.
Torah Portion #48 Shof’tim (Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9)
In this Torah Portion we read about justice for the people and laws for ruling the nations. The Judgest and officers are commanded that they must judge with righteous judgement.
We also learn about the guidelines for a king concerning Torah. Other topics cover gifts for priests and Levites, a call to holy living, true and false prophets, cities of refuge, concern for justice, regulations concerning war and cleansing for unsolved murder.
Torah Portion #46 Ekev (Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25)
This week’s torah portion continues with the privilege of holiness. Also Moses gives a call to remember and obey. Victory by Yahweh’s grace and a new copy of the covenant is also covered.
The firs verse in this torah teaching sums up much of it very well…
If you listen to these regulations and faithfully obey them, Yahweh your Elohim will keep His covenant of unfailing love with you, as He promised with an oath to your ancestors. -Deuteronomy 7:12
Torah Portion #45 Va’etchanan (Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11)
In this Torah Portion we read about Moses being forbidden to enter the promised land, Moses urging Israel to obey the Torah, and the principles for Godly living. The ten commandments are given and spoken about.
