Shalom mishpachah veh chaverim!
Our Parashah this week (B’midbar/Numbers 19:1 – 22:1) is Chukat, which is translated to Statute or Regulation. There is SO much to cover!!! I think this week’s portion could be referred to as “Mini-Mysteries”. They would be *The Red Cow; *The Sin of Moshe and Aharon; *Death and Denial; *The Healing Snake and *The Secret Writings.
Bottom line: The secret of faith is to follow The Creator’s instructions to the letter and live in trusting, obedient, faithfulness. To do what Torah instructs sometimes requires one to perform various rituals and functions although, to us, they defy logic and common sense. I believe, if we reduce the Torah to legalistic misunderstandings, we judge Abba’s words. Being selective of scripture is idolatry!!! In other words, choosing which scripture you will and won’t obey puts you in a position of becoming your own god. Remember Yeshua’s words? “If you love me, keep my commandments.” (Yochanan/John 14:15) His statement refers to Torah (the only Word there was when He was preaching the “good news”!!!) Another reminder which is additional confirmation is in Ya’akov/James 4:12. “There is one Lawgiver who is able to . . . save.”
May you and yours enjoy this especially set apart time with The Almighty and each other. B’rachot, Batyah
