This Behaviour Revolution Translation is a Yahusha-Inspired, 21st

Century Fusion of Colloquial, Everyday English Incorporating the
Original Hebrew Names for our Creator, Messiah and His people.
It cuts the corners, answers the questions and has no chapters or
verses so it reads easy like a book or letter and flows beautifully
for all generations of the Bride.

BASICALLY IT’S A COMPLETE WORD-FOR-WORD OVERHAUL.

THESE SCRIPTURES REVEAL YAHUSHA’S DELIVERANCE PLAN

TO RESTORE HIS BRIDE THROUGH AN ETERNAL BLOOD-
COVENANT.

The men who wrote the Scriptures were not Scholars, University
Graduates, or Intellectuals. They were simple, everyday people
who heard Yahusha’s voice and wrote it down. How would the
Scripture sound if it were written in the 21st Century? This is the
very essence and heart of this user-friendly translation for all
ages.

YASHAYAHU (Isaiah) 28:11

“For with babbling lips and a foreign tongue Yahusha speaks to
this generation, saying “this is My rest, give it to the weary, this
is the refreshing . . . but they wouldn’t listen”. WHO WILL LISTEN?

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS A BABBLING COCKTAIL OF

SOUNDS, MADE UP FROM THE VARIOUS LANGUAGES THAT
CAME BEFORE. IT’S ALSO THE MOST COMMON FORM OF
COMMUNICATION ON THIS PLANET!

For there to be any harvest the word sown must be easy to

understand and the Eternal Message of Deliverance must be
brought forward through time and behaved in a 21st Century
Context so that Yahusha’s Power to Overcome is available
without having to learn a second language!
PATH
( ST R O N G S H E B R E W ) :
1870 darak: a course of life or mode of action, along, away, by
conversation, custom, journey, manner, through, toward . . .
A LIFESTYLE CHOICE - A BEHAVIOUR !

YIRMEYAHU (Jeremiah) 6:16

“Yahusha says, “Come stand here and check out the OLD PATHS
of behaviour, where the way is good and clean. Come walk in it
and find rest and peace for yourselves. But they said,
‘Forget it! We‘re not going that way!’”

THE ‘OLD PATHS’ ARE OBEDIENT BEHAVIOUR and have nothing

to do with speaking or learning the hebrew language! Over the
years, those in the `hebrew-roots’ movement have done well
`travelling back in time’ (so to speak) to unlock the mysteries of
Scripture for us, revealing the Key of Knowledge and the power
of deliverance (and overcoming) in the one and only true Name
of YAHUSHA OUR DELIVERER. But the pathway is not a hebrew
path, for that was the culture back then. So now that we know
how to look up words and find out their original meanings, and
have the capacity to `travel back to the hebrew’, THEN WHAT?

THE PATHWAY OF YAHUSHA’S BLOOD-COVENANT SPANS

FOR ALL TIME AND GENERATIONS AND IS EXPRESSED
THROUGH THE CORRECT CONTEXT OF BEHAVIOUR IN OUR
MODERN EVERYDAY LIFE AND LANGUAGE. The fundamental
essence and truth of the message is not altered or watered
down in any way, because even though the lifestyle, languages
and customs have changed incredibly since the days of the
Scriptures, the pathway (behaviour) of loving obedience to
Yahusha’s Instructions is a universal language (in itself) which
cannot be restricted to any time period. It’s powerful and a light
that shines just as bright today in Yahusha’s Bride (those who
choose to behave it) as it did back in the early days of the earth.

QUESTION: In the midst of everyone rushing to get back to the

hebrew, will anyone just speak english and make it easy for us?
THE BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION SAYS . . . “YES!”
 “WHY HAVEN’T I READ THAT BEFORE?”
Aside from sounding completely colloquial (even slang in some
parts), these Behaviour Revolution Scriptures are like nothing
you’ve ever read before. Drawing on a selected handful of books
not included in the ‘canon’ (66 books) of Scripture such as Enoch,
Jubilees and Yasher, vital information (regarding the fallen human
nature we wrestle with daily and the pesterings of unclean spirits)
is amplified, to show us the true power of evil and also Yahusha’s
victory over it. Under the influence of the enemy, the Church
Fathers who compiled the 66 books of Scripture, didn’t want us
to know the depth of depravity Shatan has been working against
Yahusha’s Bride, but now through the inspiration of the Ruach, we
hope you find it comforting and strengthening and encouraging.
(only certain extra-canon books are used because many are gnostic,
new-age, worldy attempts to mimic the inspired texts).

Through this translation you will see that the lies and wickedness
of the Dragon has not changed since the Garden, the perversion
and deception is still the same, just re-branded over and over again
for a new generation. How will those who are tormented, pestered,
broken and lost ever feel the gentle, softness of Yahusha’s love if
we express a freaky hebrew religion to them? Where is the life?

SURELY BY NOW YAHUSHA’S BRIDE CAN SEE THAT HER

BRIDEGROOM ONLY SEEKS THOSE WHO WILL WORSHIP HIM IN
SPIRIT AND TRUTH, AND IT ALL COMES DOWN TO BEHAVIOUR!
THESE SCRIPTURES USE THE NAME OF
YAHUSHA FROM BEGINNING TO END !
Until the arrival of Yahusha as the
promised Deliverer, mankind only
knew about the Creator Yahuah. But
all through the hebrew text there
is an untranslated `alef-tau,’ (ta)
which is the Signature of Yahusha,
and shows us that He Himself is the
Author of these Scriptures from
beginning to end. He is the Living
Word made flesh and the physical/
visual representation of our Creator.
YAHUAH (HWHY)
AND YAHUSHA (OSWHY)
ARE ONE AND THE SAME BEING.

The Creator told us that His Name is Yahuah for all generations! Yahusha
the Son came in His Father’s Name ‘YAHU’ (WHY) (“I was, I Am, I Will
be”) and the only difference between their two names is the added
symbols for DELIVERANCE (OS). So the Name of Yahusha is a complete
revelation of Who the Creator of the universe really is. It was Yahusha
who orchestrated each encounter and conversation throughout all the
Scriptures, to wake up, DELIVER and restore His Bridal people to Blood-
Covenant Marriage once again.

So this Behavour Revolution Translation uses the Name of our Messiah

Yahusha for all narrative purposes. However prior to Yahusha’s physical
birth, when specific individuals are talking, the Name of the Father
Yahuah is used because that was the extent of their understanding of
Who He was at that time.

Why would anyone who’s been grafted into Yahusha’s Bride (Yisharal)
through Immersion and tasted the sweet redemptive power of
Yahusha’s blood ever want to call on any name other than “Yahuah is
my Deliverance”?

“ IN THE VERY BEGINNING”

The Ancient Hebrew Symbols

that make up the word Barashith,
represent a Covenant House,
forged in a fire of blood and water.
This special marriage home was
created for the loving relationship
and protection of Yahusha’s
Treasured Firstfruit Bride

GENESIS
Written by Mushah

(BARASHITH)
A COVENANT HOUSE FOR YAHUSHA’S FIRSTFRUIT FAMILY

CREATION WEEK
In the very beginning, YAHUSHA created the entire universe and
everything in it (seen and unseen). And YAHUSHA saw that the earth
had become an unshaped emptiness of ‘gloom and doom’, so He
hovered over it’s surface like a gentle breeze and said “LIGHT!” And the
vibration and frequency of His Living Word cut through the darkness
of the planet, filling it with the radiance of His goodness and esteem.
This difference of ‘light’ and ‘dark’ within the same day greatly pleased
YAHUSHA, so He called them ‘day’ and ‘night’, placing the night-time
first, before the day-time on this very first day.

The next day, YAHUSHA said “SEPARATE” and a huge gap formed
within the waters, moving and separating waters from waters, smashing
and compounding the higher waters into a hard protective canopy of
atmosphere around the earth. And He called the huge space ‘sky’.
There was evening then morning . . . the second day.

The next day, YAHUSHA said “DRY GROUND” and the waters under
the sky were collected together and dry ground could be seen, which
YAHUSHA called ‘earth’ and the collection of the waters He called ‘sea’.
He then said “VEGETATION” and instantly there was grass, seeded
plants and fruit trees all over the surface of the earth and all ordered
according to their kind. And YAHUSHA saw that all this was very good.
There was evening then morning . . . the third day.

The next day, YAHUSHA said “LIGHT UP THE SKY”, and the sun, moon
and stars appeared, the sun to mark the day-time and the moon to fill
up the night-time and these lights in the sky are for signs, festivals, days
and years. There was evening then morning . . . the fourth day.

BARASHITH. 1 11.
The next day, YAHUSHA said “FISH AND BIRDS” and the seas teemed
with shoals of amazing fish and living creatures, and all species of
beautiful birds flew above the surface of the earth. This brought
YAHUSHA much joy and He spoke blessings over them, telling them to
increase more and more and fill the waters and the earth. And there was
evening then morning . . . the fifth day.

The next day, YAHUSHA said “BEASTS AND CREATURES” and

countless animals or every sort; creeping creatures, critters and beasts
began roaming according to their kind and making a home on the earth.
YAHUSHA was very pleased with His grand designs and He proceeded
with His greatest masterpiece, forming a human from the dust of the
earth.
THE FIRST MAN HAD THE PUREST, DARKEST PIGMENTED SKIN
EVER, JUST LIKE THE RICH BLACK SOIL HE WAS CREATED FROM.

YAHUSHA created this human in His own image, it was both male and
female (like Him), then He said “WAKE UP”, breathing into its nostrils
an immortal, everlasting life, and a shared essence of character and
conscience with His own, making the human unique from every other
creature, able to discern and rule over all the creation. So Adam (mankind)
became a living being and YAHUSHA planted a magnificent garden for
him, lavish with gorgeous trees and plant-life to look at and also for
food, with the tree of everlasting life and the tree of understanding in
the centre.
IN THE BEGINNING THE WHOLE EARTH WAS VEGETARIAN
FOR THERE WAS NO DEATH IN ANY CREATURE THAT
HAD YAHUSHA’S BREATH OF LIFE IN IT!

There was also no gardener and no rain on the earth, for YAHUSHA sent
a mighty river flowing out from this garden in EDEN (meaning ‘bliss’) to
water the garden and a fine mist rose from the earth every night (across
the entire surface of the ground) to keep everything alive and lush in this
voluptuous greenhouse paradise. The mighty river flowed from the land
of Eden and not only watered the garden, but divided into four smaller
branches. The first is the Pishon which flowed around the entire land
of Kuilah, (where pure gold, aromatic resin and onyx stones are found).

BARASHITH. 2 12.
The second is called the Gihon and flowed around the entire land of
Kush. The third is called Kadeqal (the Tigris) and flowed east of the land
of Ashshur and the fourth is called the Farat (the Euphrates).

So Adam was placed in the garden to look after and GUARD it, and he
shared a special unity with the ground that he was created from and
also with every other creature (giant ones too, such as dinosaurs etc),
and YAHUSHA brought forth every living creature upon the earth before
Adam to see what he would name them and whatever he decided was
what they were called. But despite all this excitement and activity, there
was no one the same as Adam, no equal or counterpart.

So when YAHUSHA looked at Adam and saw that he was alone, He

said “My boy needs a Mrs, an equal, someone just like him to keep
him company and work alongside him”. So YAHUSHA put Adam into
a deep sleep (almost like a death) and while he slept, He cut him open,
taking out one of his ribs and molding it into a beautiful woman. He then
woke Adam up and presented her to him. And Adam’s eyes jumped out
of his head and he gasped, “At Last! Someone like me. WOW!!! It even
looks just like me! So because it has been taken from my own bones and
flesh I will call her ‘ashah’ (woman) for she was taken out of me, an ‘ash’
(man). This is why a man must leave his father and mother to embrace
and cherish his woman as they come together as one flesh”.

( ONLY A MAN AND A WOMAN MAY BE JOINED TOGETHER! )

And both Adam and his wife were naked, and felt no shame about it (they
had no idea what guilt, confusion or disappointment was), for they both had
an inter-dimensional existence, were able to see into the higher realm
where YAHUSHA was, and they were fully clothed in the brightness of
His essence and presence and were completely content in all things.

And YAHUSHA spoke words of blessing over the man and his wife (both
called `Adam’ in the beginning for they were one), instructing them about
right and wrong, clean and unclean, telling them to fill the earth and
rule over the birds of the air, the fish of the sea and all the animals,
livestock and creatures and to GUARD the garden of Eden, to tend to
it and work it and eat of it’s fruit and that every green plant was for

BARASHITH. 2 13.
their food. However YAHUSHA put a test before them, “Don’t eat from
the tree of the understanding of good and evil, for if you do, you will
definitely die that same day”. (WAS THIS A TEST ABOUT FRUIT, OR CLEAN
BEHAVIOUR?) And YAHUSHA was overjoyed at how wonderful His new
creation was. And there was evening then morning . . . the sixth day.

So YAHUSHA created everything in such a grand spectacular way in this

hedged marriage home of protection, surrounded by the promises of
His loving Instructions, and on the seventh day He relaxed, took a deep
breath and said “SHALOM” (It’s Finished), and He rested (shabath), ceasing
from all His work. And YAHUSHA spoke special words of blessing over
the seventh day and set it apart from every other day because it is the
day that He finished His creation and (by exemplary example) rested in
all His majesty after orchestrating such brilliance, splendor and artistry.

THE DRAGON
After he and a third of YAHUSHA’S Messengers (spirits) were booted out
of the throneroom for high treason, Shatan (the enemy) was banished to
the lower earthly dimension and sought revenge against YAHUSHA and his
new perfect creation by any means possible. (COULD THIS `CASTING DOWN’
BE THE REASON WHY THE EARTH CAME TO BE AN UNSHAPED DARK MASS PRIOR
TO THE CREATION ACCOUNT?)

So Shatan appeared as a mystical dragon in the garden (‘NASHASH’

serpent-creature), much more devious and deceitful than any of the
creatures YAHUSHA had created. And he appeared to the woman one
day, saying “Did your Father really tell you not to eat of every tree in
the garden?” And the woman replied “Yes, He told us we can eat from
every tree in the garden except the tree which is in the middle. He told
us if we eat of that tree we shall definitely die. We can’t even touch it!”.
(YAHUSHA NEVER SAID THEY COULDN’T TOUCH IT, SO BY ADDING MORE TO THE
INSTRUCTION SHE CONFUSED THE SITUATION). And hearing how confused the
woman was (already changing the instruction) the Dragon replied, “that’s not
true, you can touch it, you won’t really die. He’s just all hot air.... being
dramatic as usual because He doesn’t want to share His power with you
and He knows that if you eat this luscious fruit your eyes will be filled
with understanding and you’ll be all-knowing just like Him”.

BARASHITH. 3 14.
So out of spiteful revenge to YAHUSHA (for being expelled), Shatan
planted the seeds of rebellion in the woman, who was captivated by
the idea of being all-knowing, independent and free (THIS IS THE BIRTH
OF SELF-WORSHIP AND HUMANISM) and she was allured by the desire
to taste this rich, sweet fruit (WOOED BY A SEXUAL ADVANCE). “How can
something that looks so beautiful and feels so amazing be so wrong?
My father is allowed to know the power of good and evil, so why can’t
I”? she thought. So, beguiled by the Dragon and lost in her own lust for
pleasure, the woman picked some of the fruit, took a bite and ate it.
She then handed it to her husband Adam (who had failed to guard the
garden from this predator) and he chose to go along with this devious
behaviour and partake also, knowing that even if he was punished, at
least he would die with his wife instead of living in the garden alone. He
didn’t realise (having never felt it) that there are worse things than death!

( HE WASN’T TRICKED OR CONFUSED AS THE WOMAN WAS.

HE MADE A CHOICE , AND IT WASN’T YAHUSHA! )

Suddenly they both felt weird and different, disconnected and flooded
by feelings of guilt and shame, loneliness and pain; all these emotions
they’d never felt before (and didn’t like). Their eyes were filled with all
sorts of understandings and they realised that their perverse interraction
with the Dragon had separated and stripped them naked of the thick
blanketness of warmth and light from YAHUSHA’S love and esteem.
Adam and his wife felt dirty, isolated and unclean, and shameful for their
nakedness. They quickly grabbed fig leaves (from the tree they had
just eaten from), and fashioned them into loin-coverings, but their bad,
deathly feeling still remained.

THE SERPENT CREATURE WAS LIKE A BIG MYSTICAL LIZARD - SOME EVEN
SAY IT STOOD UP AND WALKED LIKE A MAN AND WAS BEAUTIFUL &
CHARMING. SOMETHING SENSUAL OCCURRED BETWEEN ADAM, HIS WIFE
AND THIS DRAGON-BEING WHICH GREATLY OFFENDED YAHUSHA; AN
IMPROPER USE OF DIVINE POWER & SEXUAL ‘ORGY’ BEHAVIOUR WHICH
LED THEM TO SEE THEIR ‘NOW EXPOSED’ GENITALIA AS BEING ‘NAKED’.

WAS ADAM AND HIS WIFE’S FIRST CHILD ACTUALLY CONCEIVED THROUGH
THIS HYBRID ABOMINATION OF THE WOMAN AND THE DRAGON’S SEED?
(IT WOULD CERTAINLY EXPLAIN THE CHILD’S MURDEROUS BEHAVIOUR).

BARASHITH. 3 15.
BEING CREATED IN YAHUSHA’S IMAGE, MANKIND IS A CONSTANT REMINDER
OF SHATAN’S DEFEAT & EXPULSION, SO WE SEE RIGHT FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING HOW HE HAS BEEN VIOLENTLY ASSAULTING EVERYTHING GOOD
THAT YAHUSHA IS DOING, AND BY POLLUTING THE HUMAN GENOME, THE
FIRST CHILD WOULD NO LONGER BE MADE IN THE PURE IMAGE OF YAHUSHA
BUT IN THE FALLEN IMAGE OF ADAM! AND THIS WAS JUST THE START OF IT!

Towards the end of the day, when the sun was setting Adam and his
wife heard the footsteps of YAHUSHA walking through the garden
and they freaked out, panicking because of their disobedience. They
ran away and hid among the trees of the garden but YAHUSHA knew
and called out, “Adam, where are you?” And slowly emerging from
the trees, Adam said, “I heard you coming and freaked out because I’m
naked”. And YAHUSHA replied “What do you mean? Who told you that
you’re naked? Have you disobeyed Me and eaten of the tree I told you
not too?” And Adam blamed the woman, “She ate it first!” And pointing
to his wife, he made an excuse, “This woman YOU put here to help me,
she ate some, then handed it over to me.....then I ate some too.” And
YAHUSHA turned his attention to the woman, “Why’d you do that?”
And she passed the blame also “The dragon tricked me and lied about
Your instruction, so I ate some”.

And YAHUSHA glared at the dragon, “YOU AGAIN! YOU’RE A SLIMY

SKUNK AND A WORM! You think you can create life better and ruin
My perfect design? You and your spawn will now be the most hated
creatures on the whole planet. Mankind will absolutely despise you,
and though you pathetically bite at their heals, they will bruise your
head at every opportunity, until I Myself come through their seed and
destroy you for good! YOUR LEGS ARE NOW GONE, get out of here,
go slither on your belly and grovel in the dust for the rest of your
pitiful life, that is your punishment for all time”.

Then YAHUSHA looked at the woman, “My Daughter, conceiving

children will now be hard and stressful for you, and the pain of
childbirth will be agonising and sharp, and you will yearn for your
husband’s affection and he will be the focus of your desires from now
on, for even though you were both created as one, I’m placing him as
the head over you now. That is your punishment for all time”.

BARASHITH. 3 16.
And finally to Adam, YAHUSHA said “I specifically told you not to eat
from that one tree, ONLY THAT TREE! But because you have placed
your curiosity and the love for your wife above My direct instruction,
(thinking you can eat and indulge however you like), the ground will
no longer be blessed with food, NO WAY BOY! You will have to plant
and toil and harvest the earth yourself and make your own food with
blood, sweat and tears. And it won’t be easy, the soil won’t be like this
garden, there will be thorns and weeds and thistles that come up to
strangle your crops. You will slave and toil, eating bread your whole
life in hardship and then you will definitely die as I said you would on
this very day that you disobeyed Me. You were created from the dirt
and that is where you will return”.

And instead of destroying them instantly (as was required) YAHUSHA shed
the blood of some lambs in order to cover Adam and Kuah’s nakedness
with the leathery animal skin. (DISOBEDIENCE BROUGHT THE FIRST DEATH
OF A LIVING CREATURE). And Adam named his wife KUAH (“life-giver” - her
purpose and essence) for she is the mother of all mankind and (after their
deceit and divorce from YAHUSHA’S presence) the man and woman were no
longer united as one, but now two individual beings.

Then YAHUSHA said “Adam is no longer innocent and naive. His eyes are
open, his senses awakened and he’s experienced a deep understanding
and recognition of both good and evil behaviour. If he continues to
eat of the tree of life with his own mind, choosing to disobey Me then
lawlessness will be eternal too - this can never happen!“ So YAHUSHA
sent Adam and Kuah out of His marriage home (the garden in Eden) and
placed kerubim (warrior messengers) all around it, guarding the way to
the tree of life with a flaming sword which turned in every direction in
order to keep mankind away from the esteem and power of His perfect
presence (the source of all life).

It took Adam and Kuah a long time to adapt to the harsh conditions of
life outside the garden. They were unbelievably devastated and lost, and
hated themselves (and each other) for losing their peaceful home and
status and they fell before the gates of the garden time and time again,
pleading with YAHUSHA to forgive them and allow them access back into

BARASHITH. 3 17.
His paradise. They could still see parts of it from the outside, the crystal
clear water flowing and the gorgeous trees, but they could not enter and
partake of the fruits. The animals were no longer friendly, the ground was
cursed with thorns, nothing grew for a long time and they were hungry. As
time went on they began to age and they longed for the glowing esteem
(shekinah) that used to surround them. They cried out in their darkness,
to be connected once more, to be able to see and communicate with
the messengers and creatures from YAHUSHA’S higher dimension again.
Shatan constantly attacked them with temptations and delusions and
bombarded them with hideous thoughts. Adam and Kuah wanted to die
so many times and give up (the enemy’s plan). But their devastation and
cries were heard by YAHUSHA Who had compassion on them because He
knew the wickedness of the enemy.

So YAHUSHA spoke to Adam and Kuah, comforted them, picked them up

when they stumbled and taught them how to live, how to farm the earth
and how to use herbs to treat their ailments. YAHUSHA showed them
how to approach Him in repentance, by building a stone-platform (altar)
to offer up the blood of animals, for the covering and recognition of their
disobedience to Him. And YAHUSHA promised Adam and Kuah that just
as they had fallen, just as they had suffered, just as they had tasted death
and shed blood, He too would come, be born from their seed and fall,
suffer and be lifted up in order to allow them access once more to the
tree of life (which they so desperately desired), and entrance back into
His Covenant Marriage House, the Garden in Eden. But it was in His timing!

BARASHITH. 3 + ADAM & KUAH 18.

QAYIN AND HEBEL
Adam and Kuah had many
children after they left the
garden and the earth began to
populate. ‘Their’ first son was
Qayin, and he became a farmer
of the earth. Their next son Hebel
however became a shepherd of
the sheep. As they matured, both
men (and indeed all of Adam’s children) were taught about upright,
clean and unblemished behaviour by their father and how they were to
now approach their Creator through regular animal blood-offerings at
YAHUSHA’S Appointed Times, in order to repent of their evil deeds and
walk in obedience.

On this particular day though, Qayin offered a slap-happy, sub-standard

offering of fruit from the ground to YAHUSHA (no blood involved)
and Hebel actually sacrificed the very best firstborn sheep of his flock
to YAHUSHA as instructed. Seeing the motivations of their heart,
YAHUSHA was pleased with Hebel’s effort and sent a mighty burst of
fire from the sky which burnt up his offering. Hebel felt wonderful that
YAHUSHA had shown him favour that day and had rewarded him for
his efforts in approaching Him. He then looked on in anticipation to
see if his brother’s offering would get the same ‘light-show’ treatment.
But there was silence and no acceptance from YAHUSHA, for Qayin’s
sub-standard offering had no blood therefore no acknowledgment of
repentance towards his Creator.

Qayin took YAHUSHA’S silence very personally, got very jealous of his
brother’s favour and went into a misery sulk! So YAHUSHA said “Qayin,
why are you throwing a moody princess tantrum? I always accept you
if you put in the right effort don’t I? But if you’re lazy and disobedient
then the enemy is waiting at the doorway, ready to control you. He
wants to get you (big time!) but if you do well and behave as instructed
you can easily conquer him”. But Qayin wouldn’t receive this and (even
though he told all this to his brother) his stubborn attitude remained
and he began entertaining the idea of killing his brother.

BARASHITH. 4 + YASHER 19.

Some time after this, both Qayin and Hebel were out working in the
fields, Qayin planting seed and Hebel feeding his flocks. One of Hebel’s
sheep wandered into an area Qayin had just planted seeds in and
trampled them which made Qayin furious. He went up to his brother
with hatred in his veins saying,
“OY!! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU FEED YOUR FLAM’IN SHEEP HERE?
GET YOUR FLOCK OUTTA HERE AND STAY OFF MY LAND!”

“O’ you mean these sheep here that you eat and clothe yourself with
brother? That’s intelligent! You give me back your clothes and also last
night’s dinner and I’ll get off your land, deal?”

“YOU ARE SUCH AN ANNOYING PAIN, HOW ‘BOUT I JUST KILL YOU
RIGHT HERE INSTEAD! Who would know? Who would miss you? Your
blood would never be required of me!”

“Our Creator Yahuah would know! He sees everything we do and judges

all our wickedness accordingly. If you spill my blood today it will be all
you’ll be able to think about for the rest of your life brother, which may not
be long cause Yahuah will avenge me and my blood will be on your head!”

And when Qayin heard these words from his ‘goody-two-shoes’ brother,
his heart burned within him and his seething hatred rose up. He took
the sharp end of his plowing tool and thrust it violently into his brother
Hebel’s chest, murdering him. Hebel’s body fell to the ground and Qayin
freaked out seeing his brother’s blood gushing out everywhere into the
earth next to his flocks. Qayin cried out over his brother’s dead body,
weeping bitterly in sorrow for what he had done. Then he dug a hole in
the ground, placed his brother in it and buried him.

A little later YAHUSHA said “Hey Qayin, where’s your brother?” And
Qayin snapped back, “How should I know? Do I follow him around?
But YAHUSHA said “I can hear the voice of your brother’s innocent
blood screaming from the dirt. Not only did you lie to Me but you
slaughtered your brother in cold blood. You’re banished from your
home and you will be a wanderer and a criminal for the rest of your
life, this is your punishment forever”. And Qayin cried out saying
“Nooooo, this punishment is too much for me, I can’t stand to be hidden
from Your face. I’m so sorry father. If I leave here and wander the earth,

BARASHITH. 4 + YASHER 20.

I will surely be killed by whoever finds me”. But YAHUSHA said “No that
won’t happen, I’ll put a mark of protection on you and if anyone kills
you then their punishment will be seven times greater”. And Qayin
left the presence of YAHUSHA and his homeland and lived in a land
further east of Eden. He found a wife, had a son, built a city and named
it after his son Kanok. THE LIFE-CREATING LIGHT AND VIBRATION OF
YAHUSHA’S WORD IS PRESENT IN THE BLOOD OF MANKIND - AND
HE CAN HEAR IT!
And Adam and Kuah had another child and called him Sheth and they
were overjoyed that YAHUSHA had given them another son after the
horrific death of Hebel. Years later Sheth had a son and called him Anush,
and the Name of Yahuah (the Father) continued to be acknowledged.

IDOLATRY & BIRTH CONTROL
The earth soon became a barren wasteland with no crops, due to the
ground being cursed with thorns and thistles (the punishment for Adam’s
disobedience). Sheth’s son Anush spent his life teaching and upholding
the instructions that had been passed down to him from his grandfather
Adam, but the rest of humanity was becoming more and more depraved
by the second. They made objects of brass, iron, wood and stone and
they bowed down and worshipped them! Each person had their own
personal deity and after the men saw that their wives were growing
older and that having children was taking a huge toll on their bodies,
they (under the influence of Shatan’s spirits) concocted a serum that would
stop their women from falling pregnant, because they wanted their
wives to stay young, slender and attractive. This procedure disobeyed
YAHUSHA’S direct instruction to be fruitful and keep on populating the
earth. The wives who were still able to have children were looked upon
as hideous ugly creatures by their husbands, who were sleeping with
the hot sexy women who had taken the wicked serum to stop falling
pregnant. This disobedience rose up into the nostrils of YAHUSHA and
He despised their idolatry and perversion. So He caused the Gihon
River to rise up and wipe them all out. But this of course didn’t stop the
wickedness from spreading as the generations continued.

THE DEATH OF QAYIN

Five generations passed down the wicked line of Qayin and Lemek
(Qayin’s great great great grandson) was old and almost blind. He and
his son Tubal-Qayin were out in the fields one day and his son was
leading him. Qayin (Adam’s son) approached them from a distance and
the men thought it was wild game and didn’t recognise him from so far
away. Tubal-Qayin helped his father load an arrow onto his bow and
Lemek fired it straight at Qayin, killing him.

And YAHUSHA saw that justice had finally been served to Qayin for
murdering his own brother Hebel many years before.

When Lemek and his son Tubal-Qayin went to see what they had shot
with the arrow and saw that it was Qayin, Lemek cried out and wept,
screaming at his son, “THIS IS NO ANIMAL YOU STUPID FOOL! WHY
DIDN’T YOU TELL ME IT WAS A MAN?” And in his shock-horror he

BARASHITH. 5 + YASHER 22.

slammed both his hands together around Tubal-Qayin’s head, killing
him instantly. After hearing about this, both of Lemek’s wives hated him,
separated themselves from his home and wanted to kill him. However
after some time passed Lemek approached both of them saying, “Please
my wives, hear me out. You’ve accused me of murdering our grandfather
Qayin and our son Tubal-Qayin in cold blood without cause but I’m an
old, white haired man and can hardly see! I’m so very sorry for what
happened but it truly was an accident, I never meant to kill them! If our
grandfather Qayin is avenged sevenfold, then let seventy-seven-fold
come onto me for my evil!”

And after seeking council from Adam (who was still alive) the women
returned to their husband Lemek but had no more children with him for
they knew (from Kenan) that YAHUSHA’S anger was brooding against
mankind because of it’s relentless wickedness. Adam’s great-grandson
Kenan, who’d been given wisdom from YAHUSHA about a great many
things, had written on tablets of stone about a great horrific judgement
that was coming soon to destroy all mankind - a worldwide flood!

KANOK (Enoch)
Kenan’s great-grandson was Kanok, who walked with YAHUSHA and
whose ‘very being’ was wrapped up in His Instructions and he despised
the evil ways of mankind. When Kanok was 65 years old, he had a son
who he named Methuselah and after that he hid himself away in secret for
many years, from the eyes of mankind and their increasing wickedness.
One day YAHUSHA told him to leave his secret place where he was hiding
from society, and go back to the nations, and teach them the way in which
they should live. And he did so, and word began to spread throughout all
the land, “Anyone who wants to know the ways of the Creator Yahuah and
behave in a way that pleases Him, go and see Kanok”. And all the people
began gathering before him to hear what he had to say, for the spirit of
YAHUSHA was upon him. And all the kings of mankind, together with their
princes and judges, came to Kanok, and when they heard his wisdom, they
bowed down to him, and insisted that he reign over them. So he did! 130
kings and princes, made Kanok their ruler, putting their kingdoms under
his power and command. And Kanok taught them wisdom, knowledge,
and the ways of YAHUSHA for 243 years and he brought peace among
them and throughout all the earth for the duration of his life.

BARASHITH. 5 + YASHER 23.

And when Lemek was 56 years old, Adam (the first man on earth) died
at the age of 930 and his family buried him in the cave which YAHUSHA
had told him. It was a lavish affair and a ceremony fit for a king with great
weeping and mourning, (as is the custom today). Adam died (he and all
his children after him) because he ate of the tree of the understanding
of good and evil in disobedience to YAHUSHA.

And it was in the year of Adam’s death that Kanok decided to leave the
company of mankind once more and live In secret to serve YAHUSHA, but
he only hid himself for 6 days at a time and then appeared to his people
for 1 day each week. And a great wave of fear spread across the nation
about Kanok, for the people, princes and kings desperately wanted to
know what YAHUSHA had spoken to him about, but they couldn’t look
at him because after being in the presence of the Creator, the power
and esteem of YAHUSHA was literally shining from him and the people
thought if they approached him they might die. And while Kanok was
teaching them the ways of clean behaviour, YAHUSHA told Kanok that
He intended to take him from the earth (into His dimension) and allow
him to assist in governing His Kingdom there as he had done so on earth.

So Kanok assembled all the people one last time, saying, “I’ve been
called to ascend into Yahuah’s dimension, and I don’t know when I’m
leaving. So I’ll teach you wisdom and knowledge and give you all Yahuah’s
Instruction on how to behave on this earth so you can live peacefully”.
And he taught them, rebuked them, gave them laws and statutes and
while Kanok was still speaking to them, they lifted up their eyes and the
likeness of a great horse descended from the sky and began pacing in the
air. So Kanok charged them one last time to be obedient to YAHUSHA’S
divine Instructions, and to continue living in cleanliness and peace. Then
Kanok climbed up onto the horse and began riding away and 800,000
people who saw this began following him and many journeyed with him
6 days and it was on the 7th Day that Kanok ascended into the sky in a
giant whirlwind, with horses and chariots of fire. And on the 8th day all
the kings went to the place where he had disappeared and they could
not find Kanok, for YAHUSHA had taken him!

 NEFILIM
After the Garden of Eden mankind increased upon the earth for almost
1700 years. A third of the messengers who had fallen with Shatan saw
that the daughters of mankind (women) were indeed beautiful, and in
their unstoppable lust, they saw an opportunity to take on flesh and
fulfill all of their carnal desires. They seized certain women and taught
them how to use divine power improperly (divination) and through
the use of herbs and potions, they had sex with them. These women
fell pregnant, giving birth to the nefilim (meaning `fallen ones’). These
nefilim creatures were a deformity of the human genome and many
were grotesque hybrid monsters and hideous giants with a thirst for
violence, lust and murder, devouring and having sex with both mankind
and beast. The spirits responsible for this abomination were seized by
YAHUSHA and chained up in the depths of the earth, to be judged later,
but the remaining demons and the spirits of the Nefilim themselves
still wander the earth to this day, pestering mankind
with the most depraved, filthy, degrading
thoughts, hoping to destroy and tear
down all human life, created

For nearly two millenia (from the very beginning in the garden), Shatan the
enemy was desperately hijacking mankind’s DNA to corrupt everything
pure. The earth had become a disgusting cesspool of disobedience
and as time went on, YAHUSHA saw that the untampered, pure blood-
line of Adam was rapidly becoming extinct and that the thoughts and
behaviour of mankind’s heart was wicked continually and He was greatly
distressed and regretted ever creating mankind. He was furious and said
“These beings I have created are so vile and disgusting, I’m done with
them! In 6000 years (6 days/120 jubilees) I’m harvesting My chosen Bride
and restoring it. But for now I will destroy all mankind and beast and
birds of the sky and wipe them all from the face of the earth. There
will be no more interferring with my grand design any longer. I’ve had
enough! I’m sorry I ever created these perverse creatures”.

NOAK
There was however a man named Noak, who walked a path of obedience
with YAHUSHA and found favor in His eyes, having clean and perfect
behaviour among those of his generation. When Noak was born he
brought great comfort and joy to his parents, who worked hard farming
the earth that YAHUSHA had cursed. And when he was grown he joined
his father and grandfather in proclaiming the Instructions of YAHUSHA
to an unrepentant and lawless society.

When YAHUSHA first spoke to him, Noak was 500 years old and he
had three sons: Shem, Ham and Yefeth. And YAHUSHA said “The end
of all flesh has arrived, the whole earth is wicked and violent and I’m
going to destroy them all with floodwaters. Every creature that has
My breath of life in it is to die. You Noak are different though, your
behaviour perfect in serving Me, so I’m going to raise up My Eternal-
Blood-Covenant of Deliverance with you and spare the lives of you
and your famiIy. Build yourself an Ark from gopherwood, a special
Covenant House with lots of rooms, covering it inside and out with
tar. It needs to be 137 metres long, 23 metres wide and 14 metres
high, put a window half a metre from the top and a door in the side,
making sure it has three levels. Then you, your wife, sons and their
wives will enter this vessel when I tell you and be protected from the
destruction that is coming upon this planet. You will also take two of

BARASHITH. 6 26.
all living creatures, male and female and enough food to support you
all”. And YAHUSHA told Noak approximately how many cycles of time he
had until the flood and Noak obeyed all that YAHUSHA instructed and in
steadfast belief spent almost 100 years labouring and building the huge
Ark that would become his family’s deliverance.

NOAK’S ARK

When it was completed, YAHUSHA was very pleased with Noak’s work
and said “Let’s go Noak, I’m sending the rain in a week, it’s time
to take your family into the Ark, gather two pairs of every unclean
animal, as well as seven pairs of every clean animal and bird of the
air (male and female), to preserve My creation. There will be rain and
floods across the whole earth for forty days and nights in order to
destroy the wickedness of mankind and its abominations (abnormal
births) but while death is all around you, inside you will be protected”.
So Noak and his family made the final preparations, then watched in
amazement as all the animals, birds and reptiles entered into the Ark
two by two in harmonious order. THEN YAHUSHA SHUT THE DOOR!
TO HIS COVENANT ARK OF DELIVERANCE

And in the 600th year of Noak’s life, the foundations of the earth cracked
open, releasing every mighty fountain of water from the deep, as the hard
canopy of water surrounding the atmosphere of the earth collapsed,
sending a mighty deluge for forty days and nights as YAHUSHA had
promised. And the flood-waters rose up, filling the earth with water for
nearly a year, covering even the highest of mountaintops by over ten
metres as every living creature upon the dry land was drowned. But
Noak and his family were delivered in the Ark as it moved about on the
surface of a shore-less waterworld.

BARASHITH. 7 27.
Then YAHUSHA
thought of Noak
and his family
inside the Ark
with all the birds
and animals and
He caused a
strong wind to
blow across the
earth, calming the
waters both from
the sky and from
the deep, and the
flood began to recede steadily, but the Ark still floated for another
five months after the rain stopped, until it finally rested on top of the
mountains of Ararat.

THE DAY THE ARK RESTED ON THE MOUNTAINS WAS THE EXACT
DAY YAHUSHA WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD OVER 2300 YEARS LATER.
( DELIVERANCE BY BELIEF, THROUGH THE WATERS! )

Three months later the tops of the mountains became visible again and
after another forty days Noak finally opened the window of his great
vessel and sent out a raven, but it kept returning to him because there
was still no dry land for it to rest upon. Then Noak sent out a dove to
see if the land was dry enough, but the dove kept returning to him also
for the waters were still too deep. Noak waited another seven days and
then sent out the dove again, and this time it returned to him with a
freshly plucked olive leaf in it’s mouth and Noak knew that it was finally
time. So, waiting another seven days, he sent out the dove for the last
time and it did not return to him.

So after a year of `boat-life’ the waters from the great global flood had
gone from the earth and the world was fresh and restored, so Noak
removed the coverings from the Ark and saw that the surface of the
ground was dry. And YAHUSHA spoke to Noak saying “It’s time to take
your family and all the animals and birds and come back out into the
world, allowing the earth to reproduce and populate once more”.

BARASHITH. 8 28.
And Noak, his wife, sons and son’s wives left the Ark and began to start
life anew upon a world washed clean. Through his belief and obedience
Noak had a very special relationship with His Creator.

So Noak made a small platform out of stones (altar) and, sacrificing one
of every clean beast and bird, he burnt them as an offering of gratefulness
to His deliverer YAHUSHA, who had saved he and his family from a
worldwide destruction. And YAHUSHA saw the blood from the offering
and the sweet-soothing fragrance of Noak’s `love-offering’ touched His
heart and He said, “Even though every imagination of mankind’s heart
is evil from the moment he is conceived, I won’t curse the ground or
destroy all the animals ever again. For as long as the earth remains, so
will all the days and seasons. Summer, winter, seed-time, harvest and
the seven-day cycle will continue in My perfect order”.

Then YAHUSHA spoke blessings of instruction and encouragement over

Noak and His family, “Go and have lots of sons and daughters and fill
the earth again. Every clean animal and bird and creature and fish now
fears and dreads you for I have given them all over to you as your food,
just as I gave you the green plants to eat before. Just don’t eat any of
their flesh raw with the blood (their life) still in them for eating that is
unclean. All life is indeed very important, but none so valuable as the
blood (life) of mankind, for in My image you were created, therefore if
anyone murders another, I shall require that person’s life in exchange.

Today I raise up My Eternal-Blood-Covenant of Deliverance with

you Noak, with you and all your descendants, all the generations to
come and with every animal, bird, fish and creeping creature that I,
Yahuah will never again destroy all life on this planet with a flood, and
here is the outward SIGN of that promise between Me and you: THE
RAINBOW In the clouds. Everytime I see that rainbow in the sky I will
remember My Eternal-Blood-Covenant with you Noak and with every
living creature, for your behaviour has made you the mediator of this
Blood-Covenant between Me and you”.

THIS COVENANT-AGREEMENT (of Yahusha’s restraint) WAS ONE-SIDED IN THAT

YAHUSHA WOULD KEEP HIS PROMISE WHETHER MANKIND OBEYED HIM OR NOT.

BARASHITH. 9 29.
 NOAK’S SONS
Shem, Ham and Yefeth were Noak’s sons and the whole earth (all the racial
colors) were populated from those three men. So after leaving the Ark,
with the trauma of death and destruction behind him, Noak got straight
to work, farming the soil and planting vineyards. One night he and his
wife drank alot of wine from their vineyard and in their drunkenness, had
sex and fell asleep naked in their tent. Kenan (Ham’s perverse son) had
been watching them and ran to tell his father, who did nothing about
their nakedness, but instead went to have a laugh with his brothers. But
Shem and Yefeth didn’t find this behaviour appropriate or funny. They
grabbed a garment, put it over their shoulders and walked backwards,
lowering it over their parents so that they wouldn’t see any nakedness.

( THEY KNEW THAT LOOKING AT NAKEDNESS & SEX WAS UNCLEAN BEHAVIOUR! )

When Noak awoke from his sleep he found out what had happened
and what Kenan had done and said “Ham! Your son has a curse on
him now and he will be the servant to all his brothers. I am blessing
my son Shem as the firstborn in the Name of Yahuah, and let my son
Yefeth be strengthened with him, but you Ham, your son Kenan will
be his servant”. And Noak lived another 350 years after the worldwide
flood, and he taught his family the instructions and path of YAHUSHA,
how to approach and worship Him, and to fight the urges of their flesh
against fornication and unclean living, to honor their father and mother,
to love one another, “For I fear that after my death mankind will start
murdering, spilling each other’s blood and eating the blood of flesh
again and YAHUSHA will be forced to destroy you all from the earth!”

And after some time, Shatan and his unclean fallen spirits began
pestering Noak’s grandchildren, teaching them all sorts of idolatry and
then inflicting them with multiple diseases in an attempt to destroy
them. And when news of this came to Noak he fell before YAHUSHA,
“My father, Who has shown complete mercy and kindness, delivering
my family through the waters of the great flood and not allowing us
to perish, please take the power of these wicked wretched spirits
from my family and heal their wounds so that they may continue to fill
and replenish the earth. You already know how the mighty fathers of
these spirits, (the watchers who fell with Shatan) behaved back in my

BARASHITH. 10 + JUBILEES 30.

early days, so please imprison these spirits and hold them securely to
await your judgement and stop them from pestering and tormenting
my family”. And YAHUSHA left a tenth-part of these evil spirits on the
earth to serve the enemy Shatan and He imprisoned the rest of them in
the depths of the earth to await His great judgement. And YAHUSHA
instructed His own Messengers to teach Noak and his family about herbal
remedies and medicines in order for them to treat the ailments and
diseases that had been placed upon them by Shatan and his malignant
minions through seduction and deceit. And through this the enemy was
stopped from destroying mankind again.

And they celebrated the feast of weeks (Shabuoth) every year in the
same month (as it had been done since the Creation for over 1300 years),
and Noak made sure his family remembered the day that they were all
delivered through the waters of the global flood at this appointed time,
and in doing so, they renewed their Covenant with YAHUSHA each year.
And Noak’s sons followed his Instructions, observing all of YAHUSHA’S
appointed harvest festivals each year until Noak’s death at the age of 950.
THESE WERE THE SAME APPOINTED TIMES RENEWED BY MUSHAH AT MOUNT SINAI
But afterwards, most of Noak’s descendants did away with YAHUSHA’S
instructions and they murdered and ate blood once again, and lived in
violence and fornication. ( UNTIL THE DAYS OF ABRAHAM ) . . .

TOWER OF BABEL
Now from the beginning of time, all the earth spoke in the ancient (paleo)
hebrew language, and as mankind began to spread out they found an area
in Shinar (babylon), and, led by a descendant of Ham named Nimrod, who
was a savage, mighty warrior, completely hell-bent on defying YAHUSHA
and His instruction, they all decided to stay put. Nimrod was the first
self-appointed king on the earth and his wife/mother Semiramis also
taught the nations to worship the sun, moon and stars through various
abominable practices involving tree worship and the mazzaroth/zodiac.
The nations declared “Let’s make bricks out of stone, use asphalt for
mortar and build ourselves a mighty city with a tower that reaches way up
into the sky, and we will make a name for ourselves and rule over ourselves
(more humanism). Forget being scattered across the earth, we don’t want
that, we’re staying right here”. And they began building a mighty tower
to reach the clouds and ensure their own survival if there should ever
be another flood. YAHUSHA however saw this and said, “This is what
they do with one mind and one language, disobey me and curse in My
face. Who knows what they will achieve with such unity of purpose. It’s
time to scatter their languages and spread them across the earth as I
intended”. And YAHUSHA made all their languages confused, and the
nations began to spread once more, gathering to anyone whose language
they understood and moving away (taking their lawlessness with them).
YAHUSHA called the place ‘Babel’ because it was there that He confused
the languages and began scattering the nations across the earth.

ABRAM
Eight generations passed through Noak’s son Shem, then Terak (his
descendant) had three sons: Abram, Nakor and Haran. Haran had a son
named Lot and a daughter named Milkah, then he died. Nakor married
his brother Haran’s daughter Milkah and Abram married a woman
named Sarai (meaning quarrelsome), who was unable to have children. Terak
(a pagan) moved his family from the Valley of Ur and travelled just over
1000km to Karan (on the way to the land of Kenan) where they settled,
before his death at 205 years old.

Then, after many generations had disregarded the Creator, YAHUSHA

came and spoke to Abram: “I want you to move away from this land
of your father’s house and I’ll show you a better place, for I am going
to bless you incredibly, make you a mighty nation of people and your
name will be famous. I will put My protection around you, showing
favor to those who treat you kindly and punishing those who curse
you, for through you my son, all the nations of the earth will prosper
and multiply”.

So at 75 years of age, Abram gathered his household and flocks and

possessions and (by belief) left as YAHUSHA instructed, taking his
nephew Lot (and his family) also. Arriving in the land of Kenan, Abram
settled in Shekem (meaning `strength’) at the time when the Kenanites were
still in the land, and YAHUSHA appeared to Abram, saying, “I’m giving
all this land to you and your descendants” and Abram was so moved
with gratefulness and awe of YAHUSHA’S promises that he pitched their
tents there and built a small platform out of stones (altar), calling on the
Name of Yahuah and sacrificing animals in His mighty Name.

Abram moved further south to Beital (Bethal) and built a stone-table

to honor YAHUSHA, but when a famine came in all the land, Abram
became afraid and (instead of trusting in Yahusha’s promise) travelled
down to Egypt (LAWLESS DESCENDANTS OF HAM) where there was more
food. But as they approached Egypt he said to his wife Sarai, “You are
absolutely gorgeous to look at my darling and when the Egyptians see
your beauty and find out you’re my wife they will kill me just to have you
for themselves. We must tell them you’re my sister, for our safety”.

BARASHITH. 12 33.
And when the Egyptians saw how attractive Sarai was they praised
her for her beauty, bringing her before the Pharaoh, who took her into
his house as a slave, treating both her and Abram “her brother” very
well, giving him sheep and cattle and camels. But YAHUSHA knew the
intentions of the Pharaoh’s heart regarding Sarai and began sending
plagues of sickness to everyone in his home. When the Pharaoh realised
who Sarai really was he called Abram to him saying, “WHY ON EARTH
DID YOU TELL ME SHE’S YOUR SISTER? NOW EVERYONE’S SICK
BECAUSE OF YOU! . . I was going to take her as my wife, but not anymore!
Take your woman and get out of here immediately”. And they escorted
Abram, Sarai and all their livestock and possessions out of Egypt.

And Abram returned to the place near Beital, in Kenan where he had
first settled (and had built the stone altar) and there he lived with all
his household and an abundance of wealth; silver, gold and livestock.
And his possessions (and people) equalled many of the Kings in the
surrounding cities. And he honored and feared the Name of Yahuah.

Lot’s family and herds lived among them also, but as the families and
wealth and livestock increased they all became very cramped for space
and the land couldn’t support them all. The Kenanites and the Perizzites
were also living among them. Abram’s herdsman and servants began
fighting with Lot’s herdsmen and servants and the tension was building
between the two families. So Abram spoke to his nephew Lot, saying
“You know I love you mate, but this just ain’t working. We’re all `living
in each other’s pockets’ and there’s no space to move around here. All
the servants and herdsman are at each other’s throats, and the feeling
isn’t very good in the camps right now. Let’s not become enemies, let’s
separate our families my brother, there’s plenty of land further out, so
you go one way and I’ll go the other, deal?”

And Lot looked to the east, towards Sodom and Amorah and saw that
the land was lush and well watered, (similar to the Garden in Eden), and
he moved all his family and herds and possessions from Abram’s family
(who stayed in Kenan), to the cities and plains near Sodom, where the
people were known for their inhospitable cruelty and depraved, sexual
acts of evil (in every possible way) in YAHUSHA’S face.

inheritance. Go investigate and ABRAM

check it all out son”. So Abram did Barsheba

as YAHUSHA told him and dwelt

by the huge terebinth oak trees of Area of
LOT
Red Sea Sodom & Amorah
Mamre, in Kebron, building another
stone-table (altar) to celebrate YAHUSHA’S promise.

ABRAM THE CONQUEROR

Great wars broke out between the kingdoms that surrounded Abram and
Lot in those days; four kings went to battle against five in the Valley of Siddim
and both Sodom and Amorah were conquered and taken captive by the
other savage nations, but a small few escaped and ran for the mountains.
Lot and his family were taken prisoner during the battle, but one of the men
who had escaped to the mountains (who lived close to Abram and had a
mutual respect with him), ran to Abram ‘the Hebrew’ and told him that his
nephew had been captured. When Abram heard this he ‘geared up,’ arming
his 318 trained servants and headed out in grand pursuit.

Abram and his servants divided and conquered the enemy camp
by night, attacking them as far as Damascus, rescuing many people
(including Lot and his family) and all of their possessions too. The King
of Sodom was so thankful to Abram and his `special forces team’ saying
“take all of the possessions and treasures that you have gained from
my enemies, but please return our people”, but Abram said “My Master
Yahuah has won the battle today, He owns everything on the earth and
in the skies. It is He and only He that makes me rich and victorious, no
one else . . . I only required what my servants have eaten on the journey
and that is enough reward for me”.

BARASHITH. 14 35.
MALKITSEDEQ
While they were travelling home from battle, YAHUSHA actually
appeared to Abram as a man (YAHUSHA `the Son’ is the appearance of
Yahuah ‘the Father’ in PHYSICAL HUMAN-FORM) and He introduced Himself
to Abram as Malkitsedeq (King of Shalem/Peace), high-priest of the
most high Alahim (mighty one), offering bread and wine to Abram and
his band of men, and as they shared a meal together He said, “What a
wonderful victory and blessing Yahuah has given you all today. Blessed
are you Abram, Yahuah’s servant and blessed is Yahuah the most high
Creator of the earth and the skies”. This phenomenal encounter with
Malkitsedeq left Abram awe-struck and he even offered Him a tenth of
everything he owned for he knew he’d just met the Creator!

THE COVENANT WITH ABRAM

After they all returned home, YAHUSHA appeared to Abram again
(this time in a vision), saying “It’s OK Abram, don’t fear Me, I am your
protector and shield, and your inheritance from Me is going to be
amazing”. But Abram said “My Master, what’s the point of being blessed
if I have no children to give it to and my only `heir’ is Aliezer my servant?”
But YAHUSHA said “Aliezer is not who I’m talking about”, and taking
him outside He said “Look up at the skies My son and see all the stars,
so many you can’t even count them. That’s how many children you
will be the father too. I Am Yahuah who brought you out from your
father’s house to give you this great land as an inheritance”. And
Abram trusted in every Word that YAHUSHA spoke and (in such an
unrepentant world) he found great favor with YAHUSHA because of His
strong belief. And he said “My Master when will I actually receive these
promises? When will you make it official with me?”
(ie “WHEN WILL YOU MAKE AN OFFICIAL BLOOD-COVENANT PROMISE WITH ME?”)

And YAHUSHA said, “OK, go and get me a young cow, goat, sheep,
dove and pigeon please.” And Abram spent the whole day doing so,
cutting all except the birds down the middle and he placed each half of
the animal right opposite the other half on the ground, creating a small
channel between them to walk through (which was covered with animal
blood), setting the scene for how (Abram knew) an official
Blood-Covenant (promise) was to be made.

BARASHITH. 15 36.
ANIMALS CUT IN HALF WITH A CHANNEL
OF BLOOD RUNNING BETWEEN THEM.

Covenants
in the Eastern
World are not like
the agreements or
contracts we make
in the Western World,
which are broken constantly
with little or no consequence.
A blood-covenant (especially
with Yahusha) involved the shedding
of blood, either from the both parties or
an animal, and if broken, the blood (the life)
of the guilty party was required as penalty!

And as the sun was setting YAHUSHA put Abram into a very deep,
dark sleep, so that he was almost dead (like when He created Kuah
from Adam’s rib (JUST AS ADAM’S “DEATH & RESURRECTION” BROUGHT
ABOUT A MARRIAGE SO WOULD ABRAM’S) and while Abram was out cold,
YAHUSHA said to Abram “Your descendants will be strangers, and
foreigners in a land that’s not theirs, and they will be slaves for 400
years, but after that I Am going to punish that nation and bring all your
family out with great wealth and possessions. But you Abram will not
see any of this, for you will be long gone, dead and buried at a ripe
old age. And after four generations of slavery I will deliver your family
and then they’ll return here to this land I‘ve promised you, for the
wickedness of the Amorites here in Kenan must follow it’s course first”.

And as the sun went down and a new day of promise begun, YAHUSHA
actually passed through all the animal pieces HIMSELF (instead of
both parties) as a burning fire and smoking furnace, consummating the
promise of this Blood-Covenant as the mediator (and payment) between
He and Abram, saying “Today I raise up My Eternal-Blood-Covenant of
Deliverance with you. I have given all this land to the seed of your body
Abram, from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates River”.

BARASHITH. 15 37.
 Interestingly
Yahusha gave ABRAM
this promised land (outlined
here), but to ABRAHAM He only
gave the land of KENAN (which was
later divided between the tribes of Yisharal).

HAGAR AND YISHMAAL

After living in Kenan for 10 years, Sarai (Abram’s wife) was still unable
to have children, and in a hurry to kick-start YAHUSHA’S promises, she
brought her exotic egyptian servant Hagar to Abram, saying “Yahuah
clearly doesn’t want me to have children, so if this blessing is going to
work for us, you’d better have a child with her, then at least I can be
encouraged and blessed through my servant”. Abram agreed and took
Hagar to be his wife and after sleeping with her, she fell pregnant. Hagar
then began ‘hating on’ Sarai straight away, having it all over her that she
was more fruitful, a better wife and was ‘more loved’ because she was
able to give Abram a child. Sarai took all this behaviour from her servant
very personally and was furious at Hagar. Then she went to dump her
emotions on Abram, saying “this is all your fault Abram, I only gave her
to you so we could finally have a child and now look how she treats me,
just because she’s ‘eating for two’. I can’t stand this, DO SOMETHING
ABOUT HER!”. But Abram said “No this isn’t my fault, she’s your servant
darling, you have the relationship and the power over her, so you do
what you feel is right with her”. And Sarai said,
“FINE, YAHUAH WILL JUDGE WHICH OF US IS RIGHT!”

BARASHITH. 16 38.
And Sarai treated her servant so horribly that Hagar ran away from her,
into the wilderness, where YAHUSHA comforted her, and instructed
her to return home, put up with Sarai’s abuse and behave humbly and
correctly to her, saying “You’re going to have lots of children my
daughter, and look, you are about to have a son, and you shall call
him Yishmaal, because I have heard your suffering. Your son will be
a very wild man, savage and stirring up conflict and violence with his
brothers and everyone”. And Hagar rejoiced greatly because she had
been comforted by YAHUSHA and she named the well that she rested
at ‘Beer Lakai Ro’i’. And when Abram was 86 years old Hagar gave birth
to Yishmaal his firstborn son.

ABRAM BECOMES ‘ABRAHAM’ (renewed name and blood-covenant)

Thirteen years after the birth of Yishmaal, YAHUSHA appeared to Abram
once again saying, “I Am Yahuah Al Shaddai (MIGHTY ONE OF THE MOUNTAIN),
come walk before me and behave perfectly. I Am renewing My Blood-
Covenant I made with you my son, and no longer will you be known
as Abram (exalted father), for I’m changing your name to Abraham (father
of many). Now it’s time to begin increasing your family so that you
become the father of nations. Yes, Kings and Priests shall come from
your loins and My Eternal-Blood Covenant of Deliverance will be for
all of their generations too, for I Am giving your descendants all of
this land of Kenan as an eternal inheritance and I will reign over all of
them, blessing and protecting them”.

And after renewing Abram’s name, YAHUSHA also renewed His Blood-
Covenant with Abraham saying “This renewed Blood-Covenant
between Me and you has terms Abraham and involves the seed from
your loins, and so animal blood will not seal the deal here, for this is far
too important, so much so, that you and all the men in your household,
(whether slave or free) are to circumcise the flesh of their foreskins
and be partakers in this shedding of blood as a SIGN of My Eternal-
Blood Covenant with you. Every male child born into your household
is to be circumcised after 8 days, for any male found in your household
that is not showing this SIGN of My Blood-Covenant in their flesh will
be cut off for being disobedient. Indeed all the multitudes of nations
that are produced from your circumcised flesh shall be born into My

BARASHITH. 17 39.
Eternal Blood Covenant of Deliverance. It is your responsibility to
Guard My Instructions and My Covenant Abraham, behave perfectly
and do not call your wife Sarai anymore, for she is to be renewed in
this Covenant too and you shall now call her Sarah (princess) for I Am
about to bless her with a son, yes, she will give you a son Abraham and
Kings and Priests shall come from her body.”

And Abraham fell on his face and cracked-up laughing, saying to himself
“How on earth will a child be born to me when I’m 99 years old, or Sarah
who is 90?” And Abraham said to YAHUSHA, “That’s crazy-talk, just let
my son Yishmaal carry this promise for You, we’re way too old to have
a child now”. But YAHUSHA said “No Abraham, your wife Sarah is to
have a son and you will call him Yitshaq and I will continue My Eternal
Blood Covenant with him also and with his descendants. And don’t
worry about your son Yishmaal, for I have heard your request and I
know you love him very much, so I will bless him also and he shall be
a mighty nation, bringing forth 12 princes. However I will continue
to establish My Blood-Covenant through Yitshaq, who Sarah will give
birth to next year”.

And after YAHUSHA had finished speaking, Abraham immediately took

his 13 year old son Yishmaal and all of the males in his household, (both
slave and free) and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very
day, sealing them all through their bloodshed in the Eternal-Blood-
Covenant, just as YAHUSHA had commanded, for indeed this renewed
Blood-Covenant of Deliverance and Relationship (ONCE SEALED WITH
ANIMAL BLOOD TO AN UNCIRCUMCISED ADAM, NOAK AND ABRAM) was
now made alive through the cutting away and shed blood of Abraham’s
own flesh as the mediator, for his behaviour and obedience pleased
YAHUSHA greatly in his generation. ABRAM’S COVENANT INVOLVED THE
BLOOD OF ANIMALS BUT ABRAHAM’S RENEWED COVENANT INVOLVED
MANKIND’S OWN BLOOD (FROM THEIR FORESKINS).

YAHUSHA AND HIS MESSENGERS

One afternoon while Abraham was sitting in the doorway of his tent,
escaping the afternoon heat under the terebinth oak trees in Mamre,
YAHUSHA appeared to him. Abraham looked up and saw YAHUSHA

BARASHITH. 17 40.
standing there with two of His Messengers right in front of him and
in sheer excitement he jumped up to greet them, bowing himself on
the ground saying “Please Yahuah let me find favor in Your eyes today,
come and join me under these lovely trees, let me wash your feet and
let us break bread and feast together, please don’t go my Master, stay,
stay”. And YAHUSHA said “Of course we’ll stay, get everything ready
Abraham”. So Abraham ran into the tent and told Sarah to make some
bread-cakes for their guests, then he ran to his herds, found a good calf,
telling his servants to prepare it along with their finest curds and milk.
Soon after, Abraham set it all out in front of their guests under the trees,
and stood by them as they ate.

“Where is your wife Sarah?” YAHUSHA asked, “Over in the tent,”

Abraham replied. “I’ve got exciting news for you Abraham. Next year
at the appointed time I will return to you because your wife Sarah is
going to have a son”. And Sarah (who was listening at the tent-door
right behind them) laughed to herself, for she knew she was way to
old to have children anymore and she mocked inside herself, “Now He
decides to bless me with children and give me some pleasure, now that
I am so unbelievably old! As if that will ever happen! Especially since my
husband is so ‘over the hill’ too” And YAHUSHA said to Abraham, “Why
does your wife laugh, saying she is far too old to have children? Is
anything too hard for Me? Can’t I do anything? I’m telling you that at
the appointed time next year I will return to you and Sarah will have a
son”. And Sarah lied, denying that she laughed, making excuses for her
behaviour of unbelief because she chose to be afraid, but YAHUSHA said
“No, you did laugh!” Letting her know that He could see her innermost
feelings and thoughts.

ABRAHAM THE NEGOTIATOR

YAHUSHA and His two Messengers rose up after the meal and looked
towards Sodom and Abraham walked with them to see them off. And
YAHUSHA said to His 2 Messengers “I’m going to tell Abraham what
I’m about to do to Sodom and Amorah, since he serves and follows My
Instructions and teaches his family and everyone within his camp to
guard all that I’ve taught him. I know the thoughts of his heart, that his
behaviour is clean and perfect in his generation”. So YAHUSHA spoke

BARASHITH. 18 41.
to Abraham: “It has come to My attention how perverse and depraved
the people in Sodom and Amorah are; cruel, violent gluttons, living
a constant wickedness in My face day and night with no generosity
or compassion for the poor, so we are heading there right now to
destroy them!” And the 2 Messengers headed off towards Sodom but
YAHUSHA stayed back to chat more with Abraham, who was shocked
by this news, “Are you serious my Master Yahuah? What if there are 50
people in the cities that walk according to Your Instructions, will you
destroy all the good people with the bad? You are the Creator of all the
earth and the skies and the judge over all, so does that seem fair to you?
And YAHUSHA said “Ok My son, if I find 50 people who walk with Me in
Sodom then I will spare the city and not destroy them”. And Abraham
said “I know I am nothing and no one. Who am I but dust and ashes of
the earth to speak to the mighty Yahuah like this, but what if there are 5
less than 50 people? Would you destroy the whole city for the sake of 5
less? And YAHUSHA said “Fine, if I find 45 people with behaviour that
pleases Me I will spare the city”. And this negotiation went back and
forth for a while until Abraham had pleaded with YAHUSHA to spare the
city of Sodom if He found only 10 people who followed His Instructions.

SODOM AND AMORAH

And YAHUSHA’S two Messengers arrived in Sodom that night while Lot
(Abraham’s Nephew) was sitting in the gateway. And when Lot saw
them he jumped up to greet them (thinking they were just travellers) and
after bowing before them he tried to hurry them inside saying “Please
don’t stay out here, it’s not safe around here at night. Come into my
house and I’ll wash your feet and you can eat and go on your way early in
the morning”, but they said, “No it’s fine we’ll spend the night out here
in the courtyard”. But Lot became very worried for them (HAVING BEEN
RAISED IN A CULTURE WHERE HOSPITALITY CAME FIRST ABOVE ALL ELSE)
and he urged them strongly to come inside, so they agreed and went
into the house, where Lot and his family made them a feast, baking
unleavened bread (Passover?) and they all ate together. Before it was
time for bed though, there was banging on the door, for all of the men
of Sodom (young and old) had seen the visitors arrive at Lot’s house
and they were filled with depraved, perverse desires.

BARASHITH. 19 42.
They stormed Lot’s house, surrounding the premises so that they could
all have sex with these new visitors, yelling out to Lot, “BRING OUT
THOSE MEN WHO CAME INTO YOUR HOUSE LOT, WE KNOW THEY’RE
IN THERE, WE SAW THEM GO IN. BRING THEM OUT NOW SO WE CAN
ALL HAVE OUR WAY WITH THEM”. But Lot quickly came out into the
courtyard, closing the door behind him, saying “Come on guys, don’t be
so vile, please go home. These men are special guests in my house so
please don’t do this wickedness tonight” But they would not back down,
so in a desperate attempt to keep his guests away from this savage
insanity, Lot offered his daughters to them, saying, “Please, I have two
daughters who have never been with a man before, please take them and
fulfill all your carnal desires with them but don’t come near these men,
please I beg you”.

But the crowd of men got more hostile with Lot, saying “Who the hell are
you to call us wicked and vile, and judge us? This is our city Lot, you’re
just a visitor here - You don’t tell us what to do. Now we’re gunna take you
too and treat you even harsher than these visitors!” And they grabbed
Lot, pushing him against the house, nearly breaking the door down, so
YAHUSHA’S Messengers quickly opened the door and, reaching out,
they grabbed Lot and brought him back inside the house. Then, with
a mighty surge of power from YAHUSHA, they struck all the attackers
with blindness, so that they could no longer make their way around or
see the doorway, and they began to disperse from Lot’s house, taking
their abominable behaviour with them.

LOT OFFERING HIS DAUGHTERS TO A GANG OF RAPISTS SOUNDS HARSH

TO US, BUT IN THIS ANCIENT MIDDLE-EASTERN CULTURE, THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING WAS TO PROTECT THE GUEST STAYING UNDER YOUR
ROOF - NO MATTER WHAT !! ANOTHER REASON THIS CITY WAS DESTROYED
FOR BEING SO CRUEL TO STRANGERS!

And the Messengers said to Lot, “Do you have any other family here?
Even distant relatives? Go and get them and get out of this place, for we
have been sent here to destroy this city, for the wickedness has gone
on long enough - the blood of all the victims cry out and the Creator
Yahuah will not tolerate it anymore. Get your family and leave now”.

BARASHITH. 19 43.
So Lot ran to his future Son-in-Law (who had agreed to marry both his
daughters soon) saying “Quick, come on Son, we have to get out of here
for Yahuah is going to destroy the city”. But his Son-in-Law thought
he was a crazy old coot, joking around and would not take his words
seriously at all, for he loved his city-life the way it was.

So when the next morning came, YAHUSHA’S Messengers said to Lot,

“Come on hurry up, take your wife and daughters and leave this city fast,
otherwise you’ll get burnt up along with it”, but they still dilly-dallied
around, so the Messengers took them all by the hand and supernaturally
lifted them outside the city gates, for they had compassion on them
and didn’t want them to be destroyed. And they said to Lot, “Run for
your life and escape. GO AND DO NOT LOOK BACK!!! And don’t stay
anywhere even remotely near this place, but escape to the mountains,
otherwise this great judgement of Yahuah will consume all of you guys
too”. But Lot didn’t like that plan, saying, “Oh no Master, please no, I
can’t go and live in the mountains, I’m way too old and Iife will be too
hard. I will surely die there. I’m very grateful that you’ve saved my family
and I today, but can’t I please just flee to that little village over there?
It’s not a big deal is it?” And the Messengers said “Ok, we won’t destroy
that little village (called Tsoar) because we’ll do what you’ve asked, but
please hurry cause we can’t start until you get there”.

And as the sun began to rise and Lot and his family entered the little
village of Tsoar, YAHUSHA rained down burning fire and sulphur from
the sky onto the cities of Sodom and Amorah, like nothing anyone had
ever seen before, explosions and lava, completely destroying all the
inhabitants because of the wicked, abominable behaviour that they
committed day and night in YAHUSHA’S face (men with men, women
with women, beastiality, orgies, whoring, partying, gluttony, violent
cruelty to visitors and the poor etc).

And as Lot and his family were escaping, his wife heard the blast of
her beloved city and friends being destroyed, and she complained in
her heart, longing for the lifestyle she knew and loved. She stopped
walking with Lot, turned around to look, and for her disobedience, she
was turned into a statue (a pillar) made of salt!

BARASHITH. 19 44.
And Abraham rose up early that morning and stood in the spot where
he had talked with YAHUSHA and, looking towards the cities of Sodom
and Amorah he saw all the billowing smoke rising from where the cities
had previously stood, like the burning smoke from the hottest furnace,
and Abraham knew that YAHUSHA had favoured him and listened to his
request, delivering Lot from the destruction of these wicked cities at
this appointed time of Passover.

LOT’S DAUGHTERS
And Lot became afraid to live in the City of Tsoar, so he and his
two daughters moved and dwelt in the mountains (as YAHUSHA’S
Messengers had originally told him!) and they lived together in the
caves of the mountain. And Lot’s firstborn daughter said to the younger
“Our father is very old and look, there are no other men around here to
give us children. What else are we supposed to do? Let’s get our father
very drunk tonight and lay with him so that we can have children and
continue the family through him.”

INTER-FAMILY PROCREATION WAS A NORMAL PRACTICE IN THIS ERA

BECAUSE INCREASING THEIR DESCENDANTS WAS OF THE HIGHEST
PRIORITY AND THERE WERE NO BIRTH-DEFECTS IN THESE EARLY
GENERATIONS AS THERE ARE TODAY IF FAMILIES INTERBREED.

So Lot’s daughters ate with their father that night and gave him lots of
wine so that he became very drunk. And the first-born daughter went in
and slept with her father, for he was not conscious enough to know when
she entered and laid down or when she left him afterwards. And the
next night they did the same thing again so that the younger daughter
could lay with her father too. And both daughters became pregnant by
their father, and when they gave birth, the older daughter called her son
Muab, (father of the Muabites to this day) and the younger daughter
called her son Ben-Ammi (father of the Ammonites to this day).

SARAH’S “BROTHER”
And Abraham moved further down south from Mamre to Barsheba,
dwelling in the King of Gerar’s territory, (a people who did not fear or
obey YAHUSHA), so once again Abraham told them that Sarah was his
“sister” so that they didn’t kill him just to have her for themselves. And

BARASHITH. 20 45.
sure enough, ‘the Abimelek’ (King of Gerar) took Sarah to be his wife
and YAHUSHA appeared to him in a dream, informing him of her true
identity. The Abimelek, (whose conscience was clean for he had not
laid a hand on her yet), gave her back to Abraham and gave him cattle,
servants and a thousand pieces of silver to make the situation right. And
after Abraham prayed, YAHUSHA allowed the women in Abimelek’s
house to fall pregnant again, for He had previously cursed them all,
because he had taken Sarah.

YITSHAQ (Isaac) (pronounced “YITSHAK)

And as promised, YAHUSHA visited Sarah the following year at the
Appointed Time of Passover and allowed her and Abraham to fall
pregnant with a son. And when the child was born they circumcised him
on the 8th day as YAHUSHA had instructed, and they called him Yitshaq.
Abraham was 100 years old when his only son (from his circumcision)
was born (HIS OLDER SON YISHMAAL WAS BORN TO HIM BEFORE HE WAS
CIRCUMCISED, BEFORE HIS NAME AND COVENANT WAS RENEWED).

And Sarah laughed and laughed with great joy, saying “Yahuah has
caused me to laugh out loud, and everyone who hears about this laughs
with me as well, I mean who would have ever said that Sarah would nurse
children and give Abraham a son at this age? Definitely not me!”

And Yitshaq was nursed by Sarah, and on the day he was weaned and
able to eat solid foods, Abraham threw a grand feast for him and was
rejoicing that he was favoured by YAHUSHA in having two wonderful
sons. But in the midst of the celebration Sarah saw Yishmaal (the son of
Hagar her servant) bullying Yitshaq and giving him a hard time, then he
proceeded to dance with Abraham with great joy and celebration and
Sarah was jealous of the feeling and relationship Abraham was having
with Yishmaal (and the day before this she’d seen Yishmaal taunting her
little Yitshaq, threatening to shoot him with an arrow!) So in her fired
up emotions she put her husband in a dreadful position saying “THIS
IS THE LAST STRAW ABRAHAM, I’VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH THIS
DISGUSTING WOMAN AND HER SON. THERE IS NO WAY HE IS GOING
TO INHERIT THE PROMISES OF YAHUAH WITH OUR SON YITSHAQ, NO
WAY, GET RID OF THEM IMMEDIATELY AND LET US LIVE IN PEACE!”

BARASHITH. 21 46.
And Abraham ‘saw red’ (with fury)
because he loved Yishmaal very much
and he hated the way Sarah felt about him
(despite his son’s mocking behaviour).
But while his anger was still stewing,
YAHUSHA said to Abraham, “Calm down
Abraham and stop taking this situation
so personally. Listen to the words of
your wife and don’t be troubled or angry
for I am going to make a great nation
out of your son Yishmaal as well, for
even though My Eternal Blood Covenant
will flow through Yitshaq, Yishmaal is
still your son and I will look after him and his mother”.

So early the next morning he took bread and a large skin of water and,
placing it over both Hagar and Yishmaal’s shoulders, he kissed them,
and with much sadness, he sent them away. And the two left Abraham’s
camp and wandered in the wilderness of Barsheba. And after the water
in the skin was all used up, Hagar sat Yishmaal under some shrubs and
fell down nearby (so she didn’t have to see her son die) and she wept
loudly. And YAHUSHA heard the cries of Hagar and her son, saying
“What’s wrong my daughter? Don’t be afraid for I’ve heard your cries
and will indeed make a great nation from your boy. Now rise up and
keep going”. And YAHUSHA opened Hagar’s eyes so she could see a
nearby well of water. And she filled up the skins and they both drank
and were refreshed.

And YAHUSHA indeed looked after Yishmaal, and as a man he became

an archer, living in the wilderness, where Hagar found an egyptian
woman for him to marry.

ABRAHAM’S COVENANT WITH THE ABIMELEK

Around this same time ‘the Abimelek’ (King of Gerar) visited Abraham with
his army commander, saying “We have seen your success and blessings
(and word of the miraculous birth of Yitshaq had obviously travelled) and it’s
obvious that your Alahim (mighty one) walks with you Abraham. Now let
us make an agreement that you will be honest and true, not only with me

BARASHITH. 21 47.
but my children and their descendants too. I’ve been loyal to you so grant
me the same courtesy, since you are a stranger in this land of mine”.
ABRAHAM’S WEALTH & ENTOURAGE WAS ACTUALLY BIGGER THAN THE ABIMELEK’S

And Abraham said “Yes of course I will”, but not before confronting the
Abimelek about the well of water (a very big deal for the survival of his
family) which the Abimelek’s people had seized by force from Abraham’s
servants. “This is the first I’ve heard about this, I’m not responsible for
your well being taken, and why haven’t you mentioned this before?” Then
Abraham made a Covenant-Agreement with the Abimelek using sheep,
goats and cattle, but he also gave Abimelek seven additional female
lambs. “What are these extra female lambs for?” The Abimelek said. “I
want to make it official between us that this well of water belongs to my
family because we dug it ourselves”, said Abraham. And in agreeance
they called the place ‘Barsheba’, because the two of them had formed
a Covenant-Agreement in that place, allowing Abraham to take claim of
the land surrounding the well.

Then the Abimelek returned to Gerar and Abraham planted a tamarisk

tree in his new homeland of Barsheba, rejoicing and celebrating that
YAHUSHA had ended his days of travelling to and fro like a gypsy and
(even though he was still technically a foreigner) Abraham settled in
Barsheba (the future land of the Filistines) for a very long time.

SACRIFICING HIS ONLY SON

When Yitshaq was 37 years old, YAHUSHA decided to test Abraham’s
belief and said to him, “Abraham, I want you to get your only son Yitshaq
who I know you love very much and travel to the land of Moriyah and
sacrifice him to Me as a burnt offering on the mountain I tell you”.
And Abraham thought it wise not to alarm his wife, for he knew that his
son would indeed return home safely with him (because of the blood-
covenant YAHUSHA had made with him regarding his only son).

AND UNLIKE THE SURROUNDING NATIONS THAT REGULARLY

SACRIFICED THEIR CHILDREN TO THEIR PAGAN DEITY MOLOK,
ABRAHAM OBVIOUSLY KNEW HIS SON WOULD BE RESURRECTED
IN ORDER FOR YAHUSHA TO FULFILL THE PROMISES.
WOW! HOW MUCH DID HE TRUST YAHUSHA!

BARASHITH. 22 48.
So rising up early the next morning, Abraham and Yitshaq kissed and
embraced Sarah, took two of their servants, split all the wood they
needed for the burnt offering, prepared the donkeys and travelled three
days to the land of Moriyah as YAHUSHA had instructed.

And Shatan appeared to Abraham along the pathway as a feeble old

man, saying to him, “You stupid fool, what kind of father slaughters
his only son, who he’s waited his whole life for. Do you really think this
is from Yahuah? How could you do something so cruel to an innocent
boy?” But Abraham knew it was the enemy trying to knock him off his
path of obedience, so he told him to ‘GET LOST’ and he did! But a little
later he appeared to Yitshaq as a handsome, rich young man, saying,
“Did you know that your silly old bugga of a father plans to kill you on
that mountain? That’s right! Your whole life will have been for nothing,
and your blood will be shed in vain. Don’t listen to him, you are young
and so handsome and have so much of your life to live!” And Yitshaq
turned to his father, “Dad what’s this crack-pot talk’in about?” “O’ him,
that’s just Shatan our enemy pestering us to not obey YAHUAH again.”
And Abraham told Shatan to ‘GET LOST’ and he left them again, moving
further up the road and appearing as a mighty river rushing in front of
them. The men entered the river up to their legs but as it got deeper
and the water rose up to their necks, they all became afraid of the
rushing water and Abraham suddenly recognised the place and knew
that there was usually no water there at all, so he rebuked the enemy
one last time and Shatan was terrified at the voice of Abraham and fled
for good, and the waters disappeared. (IT’S INTERESTING THAT YITSHAQ
IMMEDIATELY TOLD HIS FATHER ABOUT THE ENEMIES LIES, UNLIKE ADAM
AND KUAH, WHO ENTERTAINED HIS POISON THEN PARTOOK!)

And when they approached YAHUSHA’S chosen place from a distance

they saw a mighty pillar of fire shooting from the sky on the top of
the mountain and the glowing esteem of YAHUSHA in the clouds
surrounding it and Abraham knew that they were in the right place. So
he instructed his servants to stop and stay there with the donkeys while
he and Yitshaq travelled a little further up the mountain to make the
burnt sacrifice and worship, telling them they would be back soon. And
Abraham took the wood for the fire, placing it on Yitshaq’s shoulders
and, after grabbing the knife and the fire, the two of them travelled

BARASHITH. 22 + JUBILEES 49.

further up the mountain. While they were walking, Yitshaq turned to his
father, saying “Hey dad, we’ve got the fire and the wood, but where’s
the lamb for the burnt offering? Shouldn’t we find it before we get up
there?” But Abraham reassured his son, “Don’t worry my boy, our Master
Yahuah will provide the lamb Himself today” and they kept walking
until they arrived at the place which YAHUSHA wanted.
IT WAS THE APPOINTED TIME OF PASSOVER!

And Abraham built a stone-table, placed the wood on it, bound his son
Yitshaq and laid him down on top of the wood. And Yitshaq trusted in
YAHUSHA and also in his father’s intentions and he did not struggle,
fight or argue in any way, but was willing to be sacrificed in obedience
as a burnt offering unto YAHUSHA. Then Abraham stretched out his
hand, took the knife and was about to kill his only son when YAHUSHA
called out from the sky, “Abraham, Hey Abraham STOP!” And Abraham
suddenly stopped, “Yes Master?” “Do not harm the boy or touch him,
for I am satisfied with your obedience and belief and I can see that
you fear Me and trust Me and would not
hold anything back from me,
not even your
only son”.

And Abraham looked behind him and saw a ram tangled up by it’s horns
in a nearby thistle bush. YAHUSHA had prepared this ram as a special
sacrifice and had sent it charging towards them to intercept Yitshaq’s
death, but Shatan had held it back, tangling it’s horns in the brambles.
So Abraham quickly took the ram and sacrificed it to YAHUSHA as a
burnt offering instead of his only son. And Abraham named the place of
the stone-altar “Yahuah-Yireh” (‘On the mountain of Yahuah it will be seen
and provided’) for it was on that very mountain (many generations later)
that YAHUSHA Himself provided the sacrificial lamb of His choosing
(Himself), Who was lifted up and seen by all.

And YAHUSHA spoke to Abraham from the sky a second time, “My son
because you have chosen to obey My voice and not withhold anything
from Me, not even your only son whom you love, I will definitely bless
you, and indeed your children will be as many as the stars of the skies,
and as many as the sand on the seashore and they will conquer any enemy
that rises against them. And through all your descendants, the nations of
the earth will be blessed, because on this very day you have chosen to
listen and obey My voice”. And they all returned home to Barsheba.

So at the age of 127 years,

Kenan and a completely

over the body of his bride for
many days. Then he went to
the town-elders of Kath and Reumah
said “I know I’m a foreigner
here with no rights, but I’d

give me some land to bury my wife on please?” And because he had a
good reputation with them, the elders said “Of course you can Abraham,
you are not only our friend but you’re a Prince of Alahim among us,
please bury your wife wherever you want, it’s no problem for us”. So
Abraham said “Thankyou, could you ask Efron, owner of the cave at
Makpelah if I could buy his field for whatever silver he wants, for I want
to bury my wife there”. And Efron, who was sitting amongst them stood
up saying “No it’s fine Abraham, you don’t need to buy the land (or
own it!) you can use the field and the cave to bury your wife in.” But
Abraham insisted (holding cunningly to YAHUSHA’S promises of the
land in Kenan) saying “Please understand me, I want to pay you for the
land, (and own the title deed, instead of living on someone else’s property) so
please tell me how much silver you want?” And Efron said, “Well if you
insist, the land is actually worth 400 sheqels of silver, but it’s really not
necessary Abraham, we shouldn’t be talking numbers right now while
you’re still in mourning, please just go and bury your wife”.

But Abraham weighed out 400 sheqels (approx 5kg) of silver (currency
of the merchants) and gave it to Efron, officially purchasing from the
elders of Kath, the deed to the field, and the cave in Makpelah (near
Mamre) and all the trees within it’s surrounding borders. And Abraham
finally buried Sarah, his darling wife, on the land in Mamre, which
YAHUSHA had just legally given him (and where he had built the first
stone-table to YAHUSHA, Who had visited him in that very spot years
before, raising up His Eternal-Blood-Covenant of Deliverance with him).
This piece of land in Kenan was incredibly important to Abraham
because he guarded the promises of YAHUSHA. And a small part of it
was now legally his (because Abraham didn’t give in) !

A SPOTLESS BRIDE FOR HIS ONLY SON

Now Abraham was a very old man and YAHUSHA had blessed him in
every way, but his only son still remained without a wife. So Abraham
called his oldest, most trusted servant and chief over his whole
household, (Aliezer - the one who he once thought would be his only
heir) saying, “Aliezer come, sit with me, place your hand under my thigh
and swear to me on the Name of Yahuah, (the only living Alahim of the
earth and the skies) that you will find my son a perfect bride, but DO

BARASHITH. 24 52.
NOT look for her among the local Kenanite women here, but go further
out, back to the land of my birth, and my relatives and find a bride for
my son Yitshaq there”. And Aliezer said to him, “Of course my Master,
but what if the girl refuses to return to this land with me? Should I take
Yitshaq back to the land of your father’s household to marry her there?”
And Abraham sat up straight, “ABSOLUTELY NOT! Yahuah has already
taken me from that land and has told me that THIS LAND HERE is for
my children and future descendants and so my only son’s bride must be
spotless and of clean blood, not polluted like the Kenanites of this land,
in order for my descendants to remain in blood-covenant with Yahuah”.

And Abraham put his hand on Aliezer’s shoulder, “Do not be troubled my
friend, for Yahuah will send His messenger ahead of you to prepare the
woman and you will find her with no problems. And if she is still unwilling
to return here with you then you are released from this promise, but
under NO circumstances are you to take my son to that land”. So Aliezer
placed his hand under Abraham’s thigh (actually on his circumcision,
the outward sign of his Blood-Covenant with YAHUSHA) THIS WAS
NOT A STRANGE BEHAVIOUR SINCE BOTH THESE MEN HAD PROBABLY
CIRCUMCISED EACH OTHER AND HAD A CLOSE-KNIT BOND INVOLVING
THE BLOOD-COVENANT. And Aliezer solemnly swore to obey everything
that Abraham had requested of him.

And Aliezer rose up, saddled ten camels and left Abraham’s promised
land of Kenan, heading out into the world in search for a Bride for
his only son. And he travelled north for about 17 days (approx 750km)
to Haran (between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers), to the city where
Abraham’s brother Nakor still lived (where Abram had lived until he was 75).

And as evening approached, Aliezer kneeled his camels down outside the
city by a large fountain of water, and the towns-women were coming out
to the well to collect water. And Aliezer spoke to YAHUSHA, “Please my
Master Yahuah, bring the women who You have chosen for Yitshaq to me
today and show kindness to your servant Abraham. Let her be the one who
not only offers to give me a drink but my camels also”. And before he had
even finished speaking, Ribkah (Rebekah) a beautiful woman (who had
never been with a man before) approached the fountain to fill her jars. And

BARASHITH. 24 53.
Aliezer ran to meet her, saying “May I have a drink from your jar please?”
And she said “Of course you can....here, drink” and lowering the big jar
down from her shoulder she gave him a drink. Then she quickly poured
water into the animal trough, giving all his camels a drink too.

And after Aliezer watched dumb-founded for a while (double-checking

that YAHUSHA had indeed brought the right woman to him), he presented
her with a gold nose-ring and two bracelets for her wrists (customary
fashion) and asked her, “Whose daughter are you child? May I stay in
your father’s home tonight?” And Ribkah replied “I am the daughter of
Bethual, son of Nakor. Please come, we have more than enough food
and straw for you and your camels to stay with us tonight”. And Aliezer
dropped his head in amazement, saying, “You are worthy of all praise
Almighty Yahuah for not only have you shown your kindness and truth
here today but you have led me straight to my Master Abraham’s own
brother’s house! What are the chances of that ever happening?”

And Ribkah ran back to her home and informed her family what had just
happened, and when her brother Laban saw her new ‘bling’ (jewellery)
and heard the story, he came out to greet Aliezer at the fountain also,
saying “Traveller, what are you still standing out here for, we have a
room waiting for you and enough straw and fodder for your camels too.
Come and stay with us tonight”. (such hospitality for a `stranger’ eh!”)

And when the camels were settled and water had been provided for
everyone to wash the journey from their feet, the food was served and
laid down before them. But Aliezer said “Before we eat, let me tell you
why I’m really here”. And they said, “Please tell us”. So Aliezer said, “I am
the servant of your brother Abraham, who Yahuah has blessed and he
has become a very wealthy man of flocks, herds, silver and gold, servants,
camels and donkeys. And his wife Sarah had a child when she was very
old and this child has been given everything my master owns, but he still
has no wife. So my Master Abraham made me promise to find his only
son a wife, but not from the local Kenanites where we live but to go to
his father’s own house, to his relatives and find a wife there”.
And Aliezer retold the miraculous events that had happened that very
evening with Ribkah at the well, before asking Bethual,

BARASHITH. 24 54.
“Please tell me straight away whether you agree to me taking your
daughter back for my Master’s son to marry, or not”. And both Bethual
and Laban both said, “It’s pretty obvious that your Alahim has brought
you all this way and has orchestrated all this today, so what can we
say about it? Of course you may take Ribkah back with you so she can
become the wife of your master’s son just as Yahuah has said”.

And after eating and drinking, Aliezer presented more gifts to Ribkah of
silver, gold and fine garments and also gifts to her brother and mother,
before spending the night in their home.

The next morning Aliezer rose up and said to Ribkah’s family, “It’s time
for me to return to my Master with your daughter”. But they said, “Let
Ribkah stay at least ten more days with us, then you can take her”. But
Aliezer wanted to obey his master Abraham’s instructions as diligently
as possible and said, “I’m sorry but I can’t wait around. We really need to
go today!” So they thought it best to let Ribkah decide whether she was
willing to go with this stranger to a far away land and marry a man she’d
never even laid eyes on. And Ribkah believed in the words and promises
spoken by Aliezer and said “I will go back with you today”. And because
she was still a young teen, her family gave Ribkah her childhood nurse
Deborah, to travel with her and they spoke words of blessing to her
saying “Our sister, our dearest daughter you will indeed be the mother
to millions and millions and let your children overcome all enemies that
rise against them”. And they kissed her and she left, following Aliezer
on the camels.

Not long after these events, Yitshaq travelled back from the north and
was out in the fields thinking, and when he looked up he could see the
camels approaching in the distance. And as they got closer Ribkah saw
Yitshaq and climbed off her camel, saying “Who is that man approaching
us?” And Aliezer said “That is Yitshaq my Master”. So she took a veil and
covered herself and when they arrived Aliezer greeted Yitshaq, telling
him of the phenomenal way in which YAHUSHA had found him a bride.

And Yitshaq brought Ribkah into his mother Sarah’s tent and, taking
her in his arms she became his wife and he loved her very much. This
brought great comfort to Yitshaq after the recent death of his mother.

Now Yitshaq was forty years old when he took Ribkah as his wife and
for twenty years she was barren (unable to have children). And Yitshaq
pleaded his desire to have children with YAHUSHA and He finally
answered his request, allowing Ribkah to fall pregnant. But after some
time she felt dreadful kicking and struggling in her stomach, causing her
to worry. So Ribkah spoke to YAHUSHA, “Why do I feel like this? What’s
wrong with me?” And YAHUSHA comforted her, saying . . .
“The reason there is so much pain and struggle in your body My
daughter is because you are carrying two babies and these two
boys will become two mighty nations on the earth. One will be more
powerful than the other and THE OLDER WILL SERVE THE YOUNGER,
so don’t be afraid”.

BARASHITH. 25 56.
NO DOUBT RIBKAH WOULD HAVE TOLD YITSHAQ ABOUT THIS, SO THEY
BOTH WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT YAHUSHA’S PLAN REGARDING THE
FIRSTBORN SON - AND SO WOULD THE BOYS TOO !

And after nine months Ribkah gave birth to twin boys as YAHUSHA said
she would. The first boy came out bright red and covered with thick
hair like a carpet so Yitshaq and Ribkah called him Esu (meaning ‘hairy’
and ‘red like a lentil bean’). Then (holding onto his brother’s heal the whole
time while he was born), came baby Yaqub (meaning ‘grabbing the heel’
and ‘to deceive’). And as the boys grew up, Esu became a cold, ruthless
hunter and loved going out wild in the fields, killing anything just for
the pleasure of it. But his younger brother Yaqub had a much quieter,
peaceful personality and enjoyed staying inside the tents studying and
writing. Yitshaq loved his first-born son Esu more because he was a
‘rough and tumble’ (lumberjack beast of a man) and Yitshaq looked
forward to the nosh-ups (feasts) from the wild game he brought home
every day. Ribkah however loved her younger son Yaqub more and
much preferred spending time with him.

ABRAHAM’S FINAL INSTRUCTIONS

Abraham took another wife, Keturah, had sons and also sons from
concubines too. And even though Yitshaq preferred Esu, Abraham loved
Yaqub and favoured him, knowing that he would be the son who his
descendants would be named after, and he called Ribkah (knowing she
felt the same) saying to her, “I don’t have much time left my daughter,
so please watch over Yaqub for me, for through him a mighty chosen
people will arise in the midst of the nations, a treasured possession of
Yahuah and a fulfillment of promises made way back since Shem. I know
that my son Yitshaq prefers Esu but your eyes are upon Yaqub, so treat
him well, love him and rejoice in the promises regarding him, for trust
me, the whole earth will be blessed through him and his descendants
will be as many as the sand on the seashore”. And calling Yaqub to his
mother’s side, Abraham kissed him and said, “Yaqub my darling boy
who I love, may Yahuah bless you from above and favour you as He
did Adam, Kanok, Noak and Shem, and may all the amazing things He
promised me pass onto you my son. Don’t let the spirits of the wicked
one rule over your family incase they steal you from this land and destroy

BARASHITH. 25 + JUBILEES 57.

you. My son, separate yourself from the nations, don’t eat with them
and definately don’t behave like them or even hang around them for
they are unclean and all their ways are a pollution and an abomination.
They sacrifices their own children to the dead, they worship evil spirits,
they eat over the graves, and all their works are vanity and nothingness.
They have no heart to understand and their eyes do not see what their
behaviour really looks like to Yahuah.”

And Abraham called Yishmaal and his twelve sons, plus Yitshaq and his
two sons, and the six sons of Keturah, and their sons and he commanded
them that they should observe the way of YAHUSHA, staying on His
path of obedient behaviour and to love each other, making sure to
circumcise their sons according to the Blood-Covenant which He had
made with them, and not to stray to the right or to the left from the
paths which YAHUSHA had commanded them. He instructed them to
stay away from all fornication and uncleanness, and if any woman or
maid committed fornication to burn her with fire, and not to take any
wives from the daughters of Kenan, for the seed of Kenan would be
rooted out of the land. And he reminded them of the judgment of the
giants, and the judgment of Sodom and Amorah, how they had been
wiped out because of their wickedness.

“I beg you my sons, love Yahuah and guard His Instructions tightly in
your heart. Do not stray after the false idols of the nations, and after
their uncleannesses, for they’re all fake, there’s no power or spirit in
them, just stuck-up vanity, the work of men’s hands and everyone who
trusts in them actually trusts nothing. But serve and follow Yahuah so
that He may find pleasure in your behaviour and give you favor and
send the rain upon you morning and evening and bless all the work of
your hands, giving you bread and water and the fruit of the womb and
cattle and flocks so that you be the envy of all the nations and you shall
all be blessed in His mighty Name as I have been”.

And he gave gifts to Yishmaal and to his sons, and to the sons of Keturah
and he kissed them and sent them away, and to Yitshaq he said “My son
I am old, and don’t know when I’ll die, I’m 175 years old, and throughout
my life I’ve remembered Yahuah, and sought to please Him with all my

BARASHITH. 25 + JUBILEES 58.

heart and to walk uprightly on His path. I have absolutely hated idols,
and also the behaviour of those who served them, and I have given
my whole being over to the will of Him who created me. For He is the
living Alahim Yahuah, and He is set-apart and trustworthy, to judge all
those who are disobedient to His Instructions and despise His Blood-
Covenant and all the words written in the books of my forefathers, and
in the words of Kanok, and the words of Noak. I can see my son that all
the works of the children of men are perverse and wickedness and all
their deeds are unclean and an abomination and a pollution and there
is no righteousness with them. So beware, incase you start behaving
as they do, treading on their paths instead of Yahuah’s and He should
hide His face from you and boot you out of this promised land and wipe
out your name and our descendants. Stay upright my son to do His will
and be upright in all things and He will bless you in all your ways and
will raise up from you a mighty plant throughout all generations of the
earth, and my name and your name will never be forgotten. Now go in
peace my son, and may Yahuah Al Shaddai, my Alahim and your Alahim,
strengthen you in all things to stay on His path, and may He bless all
your children and remain in favor with all the generations of our family
forever, so that we are a blessing across all the earth”.

And before he died at the good old age of 175 Abraham gave everything
he owned to his son Yitshaq.

And having known YAHUSHA, Abraham breathed his last breath and
was buried by his sons Yitshaq and Yishmaal in the cave near Mamre
next to his darling wife Sarah on the promised land which he had
purchased himself from the elders of Kath. And despite being born into
a Pagan Kaldean Culture, Abraham found favor in his life, because of
his strong belief in YAHUSHA’S promises and his obedient behaviour
allowed him to `pass-through’ (Hebrew) into an Eternal-Blood-Covenant
of Deliverance with YAHUSHA. Yes, this first-recorded HEBREW, (a man
who spent 100 years of his life with no children), became the father of
many nations.

BARASHITH. 25 + JUBILEES 59.

ESU SELLS HIS BIRTHRIGHT
Now while Yitshaq and Ribkah were
still mourning the death of their father
Abraham, it was customary for none
of the immediate family to cook or do
any domestic duties. So Yaqub (the

grandson) began cooking a comforting

stew for his parents (even though the men
didn’t usually cook), but Esu couldn’t care
less about spending time with his
family and, thinking only of himself,
went out to hunt.

IT HAS BEEN RECORDED THAT THIS WAS THE DAY THAT ESU AMBUSHED
NIMROD WHILE HE WAS HUNTING WITH HIS MEN AND HE CUT OFF HIS
HEAD DURING THE BATTLE. SO ESU ACTUALLY RETURNED HOME NOT
JUST TIRED, BUT COMPLETELY WARTORN AND BRUISED FROM COMBAT.

And later that day Esu came home completely exhausted and caught
the wafting smell of the delicious lentil stew that Yaqub was making,
and his stomach grumbled within him.
“Give me some of your red stew? I’m completely knackered and
starving, and can’t be bothered making my own,“ he asked Yaqub, who
snapped back wittingly, “Starving enough to trade me your birthright
brother?” “What?” Esu said. And Yaqub thought it would be a good
time to manipulate what YAHUSHA had told his mother years before.
“Your birthright and all it’s promises - give it to me, you know it’s gunna
be mine anyway!”, Yaqub replied. And Esu saw red, “I’M ABSOLUTELY
DYING OF HUNGER HERE AND YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT MY STUPID
BIRTHRIGHT? I won’t need a damn birthright if I’m dead will I?” And
Yaqub said, “Promise me right now and I’ll give you some of my stew”.
ESU ALSO KNEW WHAT YAHUSHA HAD PROMISED HIS MOTHER ABOUT
THE BIRTHRIGHT - HE JUST DIDN’T CARE - HE WAS HUNGRY! And Esu gave
Yaqub his promise and ‘sold-over’ all his rights of authority to rule his
father’s clans (SOMETHING ONLY THE FIRSTBORN SON COULD INHERIT AFTER HIS
FATHER’S DEATH).

BARASHITH. 25 60.
Then Yakub fed him bread and red lentil stew and Esu ate and drank, and
was completely satisfied. Then he stood up and left, thinking nothing of
it, for the future promises of the birthright (and in this case the Eternal-
Blood-Covenant too) passing down from Abraham to Yitshaq and
now to him, MEANT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HIM (he actually had
contempt and hatred for it because he lived only for the moment). AND
ESU WAS ACTUALLY CALLED `EDOM’ (RED) AFTER THIS STEW INCIDENT -
ANCESTOR TO THE FUTURE `EDOMITES’

And another famine struck the land, similar to the one back in Abraham’s
day, so Yitshaq, (knowing of the royal food supplies), decided to move
his family to Egypt. But he’d only travelled as far as Gerar (where ‘the
Abimelek’, King of the future Filistines lived), before YAHUSHA appeared to
him saying, “I want you to stay in the land I have promised you here
and do not go down to Egypt as your father did, for I am giving all
these lands to you and your family. And I will bless you and lift up My
Eternal-Blood-Covenant of Deliverance with you HERE, as I did with
your father Abraham before you. Your descendants will be as many
as the stars in the sky and through you every nation of the earth will
be abundant. I’m offering this promise to you as I did to your father,
because he obeyed My voice and guarded My Instructions”

So Yitshaq stayed and lived in Gerar (where the dangerous pagan

people had no fear or respect for YAHUSHA). And after a while the men
started asking about his wife Ribkah, so Yitshaq told them she was his
`sister’, thinking to himself “My wife is gorgeous and the townsfolk will
definitely kill me just to have her for themselves” (de’ja’vu!). And one
day (after they had lived there a while), ‘the Abimelek’ (King of Gerar)
looked through a window and saw Yitshaq kissing and cuddling Ribkah
and said to him, ”HEY IT’S OBVIOUS THIS WOMAN IS YOUR WIFE, SO
WHY’D YOU LIE TO US AND SAY SHE’S YOUR SISTER”? And Yitshaq
said “Because I was afraid someone would kill me just to have her”. And
the Abimelek was angry, “WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO US? Someone
could have gone and slept with your wife and brought all that guilt upon
us!” So the Abimelek commanded all his people, saying, “Anyone who
lays a hand on this man or his wife will be put to death”.

BARASHITH. 61.
Later that year Yitshaq planted a crop and YAHUSHA blessed it,
producing a huge harvest for him. And over time Yitshaq’s family and
wealth and possessions of herds and flocks and servants grew and
grew, greater and larger (as YAHUSHA had promised) until even the
Filistines surrounding him (the people of Gerar) were jealous and began
to envy and despise him. They even began filling in all the wells of water
in the land (which had been dug out by Abraham’s servants), until the
Abimelek finally told Yitshaq to get out of the land for he was threatened
by how large and powerful Yitshaq’s family had become.

So Yitshaq moved further over to the Wadi Gerar and immediately began
re-digging all the wells of his father (which had been filled in after his
death) and he lived there for some time, calling the wells by the same
names his father Abraham had called them. But every well they seemed
to dig brought more strife with the local Gerar people, who fought over
the ownership of each well. Yitshaq dug one and they argued again,
he dug another and the conflict continued. This happened over and
over until Yitshaq’s servants finally managed to dig a well and no one
complained or argued over it. So Yitshaq rested happily and rejoiced,
knowing that YAHUSHA had made room for them to live and increase
on the land for the time being.

From there Yitshaq travelled up to Barsheba (where his father had lived)
and YAHUSHA appeared to him that same night saying, “I Am Yahuah,
Alahim (mighty One) of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid for I
Am with you always and will bless you and increase your family even
more as I promised your father Abraham who behaved obediently
and walked with Me”. And after this phenomenal experience with his
Creator, Yitshaq built a small platform out of stones (altar) to honor
YAHUSHA and they also dug out another well, settling down in that
territory for a long time.

Then ‘the Abimelek’ (King of Gerar) travelled to meet Yitshaq, bringing

his chief commander with him, and Yitshaq was frustrated, “Why on earth
are you here? You already kicked us all out of your land and obviously
hate us, what have I done now?” And the Abimelek said “We can all see
that your Alahim (mighty one) is with you and has blessed you in every

BARASHITH. 26 62.
way, so please make a Covenant-Agreement with us that you will treat
us fairly and be honest with us and not do any evil to our nation and we
will do the same for you. We sent you away in peace Yitshaq, not hatred
and look, now you are blessed even more by your Alahim”.

And they feasted together and swore an oath to do right by each other,
and then they left in peace. On that same day Yitshaq’s servants told
him they‘d found water again, so they called the well ‘Shiba’ (oath) and
that place is still called Barsheba (“well of the oath”) to this day.

And Yitshaq’s son, Esu was living a rebellious lifestyle outside of his
father’s Covenant, which upset his parents very much. He had no interest
in the promises or instructions of YAHUSHA and at forty years old, he
married two local pagan (Kittite) women, Yahudith and Basemath, who
were not from the clean `hebrew’ bloodline (SOMETHING ABRAHAM HAD
INSISTED ALIEZER NEVER DO WHEN FINDING A WIFE FOR YITSHAQ, BUT
TO STAY WITHIN THE CLEAN BLOODLINE OF HIS RELATIVES SO THAT THE
BLOOD-COVENANT COULD PASS FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION).

EVERY FIRSTBORN SON RECEIVED BOTH THE BIRTHRIGHT &

THE BLESSING - IT WAS AN INHERITANCE WITH TWO-PARTS
So what’s the difference?

the father dies. got a DOUBLE-PORTION

YITSHAQ GIVES THE FIRSTBORN ‘BLESSING’

When Yitshaq was old and blind and knew he didn’t have much time
left, he decided to overlook what YAHUSHA had told Ribkah about
their younger son ruling over the older (the ‘birthright’ Yaqub had already
cunningly acquired himself) and intended to go ahead anyway and give
Esu the firstborn `blessing’ because he was his favourite son.

BARASHITH. 27 63.
IF YITSHAQ GAVE ESU THE FIRSTBORN BLESSING IT WOULD HAVE NULLIFIED
YAQUB HAVING THE BIRTHRIGHT BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE THE TITLE BUT
NO REAL AUTHORITY WITHOUT THE FAMILY WEALTH TO BACK IT UP!

So he called for his son Esu, saying, “I am very old my boy and could die
any time. Take your weapons and go hunt some wild game for me, then
bring it back and make one of those amazing tasty dishes that I love. I
want to eat and drink with you tonight and have a lovely time, because
I’m going to pass the blessings and promises onto you as my firstborn
son before I die”. (ESU AND YAQUB WERE AROUND 66 YEARS OLD HERE!)

And Ribkah heard the whole conversation from outside and was
‘flabber-gasted’. She wasn’t going to take this betrayal of her favourite
son’s future laying down, so she ran to Yaqub and said, “You’re father is
ignoring what Yahuah told me about your birthright and intends to give
the blessings to your brother tonight. You’ve only got one shot at this
boy, so if you want to get the blessing from your father, you’d better do
everything I tell you. Now go out quickly to our flocks and bring back
two young goats and I’ll make a stunning dish that your father will love,
so you can get the blessing from him after he eats it”.
But Yaqub had his doubts, “Mum, my brother Esu is a big boof’in hairy
bigfoot of a man, so what if my father touches me and feels my smooth skin?
He will know that I lied to him and he’ll curse me instead of blessing me”.

But Ribkah said, “Just do what I tell you and let any curses fall on me
Yaqub, now go and get those goats for me!”

And Yaqub did as his mother instructed, and after she cooked a
magnificent meal for him to serve his father, she put one of Esu’s finest
garments on him and stuck some of the skin from the goats on his
hands, arms and the back of his neck, so he felt and smelt like his older
brother. Then she handed him the dish to serve his father and sent him
into Yitshaq’s tent. “Hey Dad the meal you asked for is ready, check out
this beauty . . . smells amazing”.
“Huh? Who’s there?” Yitshaq was having forty-winks.
“It’s me Esu your firstborn son, come, get up and let’s eat this before it
gets too cold, so you can give out the blessings to me”. But Yitshaq said,
“Wow that was really fast, how did you hunt it so quickly?”

BARASHITH. 27 64.
And thinking on his feet Yaqub responded, “Yahuah must have brought
the goat straight onto my path today, so I could hunt quicker”.
But Yitshaq ‘smelt a rat’ and thought “It sounds alot like Yaqub. Is he
up to his old tricks again?” So he said, “Come closer my son and let me
embrace you.” And hugging his son, he touched his arms and thought,
“It feels like the hands of Esu” (for his hands were covered in goat’s fur).
So he said, “Is it really you Esu?” And Yaqub lied, “Yes it’s really me Dad”.

So the two of them ate and drank some wine and then Yitshaq embraced
his son and kissed his neck, “He even smells like my rugged son who’s
been out hunting all day in the field”, he thought. Then Yitshaq blessed
Yaqub, saying “May Yahuah the Creator of all the earth and the skies
give you every richness of blessing and abundance from the harvest, and
vineyards full of beautiful wine. And may you be so rich and powerful
and blessed in Yahuah that all the nations become your servants and
bow down to you, for you will possess authority over your brothers*.
Let anyone who blesses you be blessed and anyone who curses you
be cursed”.*SAYING THIS PROVES THAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING TO
ESU, FOR HE KNEW HIS OLDER SON HAD SOLD AWAY HIS BIRTHRIGHT, AND
HE WAS GIVING ESU AUTHORITY OVER HIS YOUNGER BROTHER ANYWAY!

And no sooner had Yitshaq finished blessing Yaqub that Esu rocked up
with his delicious dish ready to serve his father. But when he announced
himself and Yitshaq realised the grand deception that had just taken
place, he was horrified, went pale and started to tremble uncontrollably,
saying “I’m so sorry my son but I’ve already blessed your younger
brother Yaqub, for he just tricked me, and the power of my spoken
blessing cannot be removed. He has indeed been blessed as my first-
born son and I have made him the Master over everything I own and all
his brothers too”. And when Esu heard these words he cried out loudly,
pleading with his father to please bless him too, but Yitshaq said “I’m
sorry my son, but you will be away from the blessings of the earth and
from above and you shall live by your sword and serve your brother,
but one day you will remove his burden from your neck”. And Esu wept
bitterly, screaming and cursing the name of Yaqub, saying “That lying
deceiver not only cheated me out of my birthright but now he has stolen
my blessing too, he is indeed called ‘Yaqub’ (the deceiver)”.

 ABRAM ABRAHAM

Qeturah Sarah Hagar

Zimran Yoqshan Medan Midyan Yishbaq Shuak Yitshaq Yishmaal

The Lineage of the

Eternal Blood-Covenant Ribkah
made with Abraham
IT WAS ALL ABOUT YAHUSHA’S
PROMISES AND MAN’S BEHAVIOUR Yaqub Esu

YAQUB FLEES TO HIS UNCLE LABAN

And Esu hated his brother with a passion and said, “My father is about
to die, so after everyone has mourned him I’m going to kill my brother!”
And word of this got back to Ribkah, who sent for Yaqub and warned
him saying, “Listen my son, your brother Esu is planning to kill you after
your father dies, so you must flee to my brother Laban’s house for a
while, until your brother chills out and forgets about all his anger towards
you. I don’t want to lose both you and your father so please go and I’ll
send for you when its safe again”.

And Yitshak heard that his son Yaqub was leaving and asked Ribkah
about it, who said, “Yes Yitshaq, I’m sending Yaqub away, because I’m
totally disgusted by how these local Hittite women behave with their idols
of wood and stone. Those daughters of Kath are like filthy whores and I’d
rather die than watch my son Yaqub follow in his brother’s footsteps and
marry a woman like that. I’m sending him away to my brother’s house
so that he may find a wife among our relatives and he will be safe from
Esu’s wrath for now”.

So after seeing that YAHUSHA had indeed had His way in the situation
by giving Yaqub the blessing, he called Yaqub to him before he left and

BARASHITH. 28 66.
said, “Under no circumstances are you to do what your brother Esu has
done and marry a woman from the local Kenanites but go to Paddan-
Aram, to your mother’s family in Haran and find a wife for yourself among
the daughters of your Uncle Laban. And may Yahuah Al Shaddai bless
you and make you prosperous upon the earth and turn you into a GREAT
ASSEMBLY OF PEOPLE. And may He pass the promised blessings of
Abraham our father down to you my son so that you inherit this promised
land of your wanderings which was given to my father Abraham before
us”. And Yitshaq and Ribkah kissed him and sent Yaqub away to stay
with his Uncle Laban, and after Esu heard about all this (that Yaqub
was told not to marry a Kenanite woman under any circumstances) he
realised that his rebellious lifestyle and marriages had brought much
grief on his parents. And since his brother had acted in obedience by
going to his relatives to find a wife, Esu decided to ‘play the family card’
also, and go visit his Uncle Yishmaal and marry his daughter Makalath
(aquiring yet another wife).

And Yaqub travelled out from Barsheba and headed towards Karan,
stopping for the night near Beital (Bethal), at the place where Abraham
had first set up the stone-table in celebration of Yahuah for the first time
many years before. And Yaqub took one of the stones from the ground
and put it under his head as a pillow and fell right off to sleep, dreaming
about a great ladder that stood on the earth which reached right up into
the sky (connecting the dimensions). And he saw the messengers of YAHUSHA
flying up and down on the ladder and at the very top, YAHUSHA Himself
stood there saying, “ I Am Yahuah, the Alahim (mighty one) of your
fathers Abraham and Yitshaq and the ground which you are laying on
will be yours and your descendants, for they shall be as numerous as the
dust of the earth, shooting forth to the north, south, east and west and
all the clans of the earth will be blessed from your family. Never forget
that I Am with you always and I will guard and protect you wherever
you go. I will never leave you and will do what I have promised, raising
up with you My Eternal-Blood-Covenant of Deliverance”.

And when Yaqub woke up from his sleep, he was refreshed and excited,
saying, “Surely Yahuah my Alahim is in this place and I never even knew
it. It may as well be called the ‘House of Alahim’ for it appears to be the
gateway to connect with the Creator”.

BARASHITH. 28 67.
And Yaqub took the stone that had been under his head, stood it up as a
standing memorial and poured oil over the top of it, annointing it’s head.

YAHUSHA IS
OUR MASHIAK
(‘ANNOINTED ONE’)
CONNECTING THE
DIMENSIONS
THE ANNOINTED ROCK WHO
RESTORED HIS ‘HOUSE OF ALAHIM’
(GARDEN IN EDEN) THROUGH HIS
ETERNAL BLOOD COVENANT
WITH MANKIND

THE CHIEF-CORNERSTONE, THE ‘STONE THAT THE BUILDERS REJECTED’

HAD HIS HEAD ANNOINTED WITH OIL SHORTLY BEFORE HIS DEATH AND
RESURRECTION, RE-ESTABLISHING THE ETERNAL BLOOD-COVENANT OF
DELIVERANCE, ALLOWING MANKIND TO ENTER HIS HOUSE (GARDEN IN
EDEN) AND CONNECT WITH HIM ONCE AGAIN.

And even though the place had previously been called Luz, Yaqub
was the first to rename it Beital (House of Alahim), because the Creator
Yahuah had chosen to visit him and re-establish the promises of the
Eternal-Blood-Covenant with him just as he had Abraham before him
in the same place. And Yaqub said to YAHUSHA, “Since I am fleeing
my homeland at the moment, if You will please keep me safe on this
path I’m on and protect me, feeding me bread and keeping me clothed,
then when I return home to my Father Yitshaq’s house I will make this
memorial stone here the House of Yahuah and from everything you bless
me I will give back a tenth to you”. (Abraham did this with Malkitsedeq too).

YAQUB MEETS RAKEL (Rachel)

After his encounter with YAHUSHA, Yaqub travelled north for nearly a
month (1000km), and eventually arrived at a large well of water with
three flocks of sheep and goats waiting nearby to be watered, because a
big, heavy-stone covered the opening to the well. The people would wait
for all the animals to arrive before the shepherds moved the big stone
and watered them all. Then the stone would be rolled back into place.

BARASHITH. 29 68.
And Yaqub approached some of the men and said,
“Hi fellas, where are you guys from?” “We’re from Karan,” they said
“Do you know Laban son of Nakor?” “Yes!”
“How’s he doing, is he well?” “Yeah he’s great, infact here comes his
daughter Rakel with their sheep now, look!” And observing the hour,
Yaqub said, “Look guys it’s still broad daylight and way too early to start
rounding up the animals. Get them all watered and send them back
out quickly eh”. But they said, “The shepherds won’t move the stone
and let the water through until all the animals are here”. And while they
were still speaking Rakel arrived with her father’s sheep, for she was
a shepherdess. And since Rakel was actually his cousin and the sheep
were his Uncle Laban’s, Yaqub went and moved the big stone for her (it
usually took a few men to move it!) and he watered his Uncle’s flocks
(showing-off for his dreamgirl possibly).

And Yaqub greeted his cousin Rakel, kissing her (standard middle-eastern
greeting) and he explained to her who he really was (a cousin on her father’s
side, the son of her Aunt Rebekah) and he wept loudly, for his journey had
been incredibly long and he was now safe among family again. Rakel
went and found her father Laban and told him of Yaqub’s arrival. And
Laban ran and hugged his nephew, kissing him and he brought him into
their family home. And as they all ate together, and Yaqub filled them in
on all the drama and adventure that had just gone down, Laban turned
to him and said, “Wow boy, what a crazy journey you’ve had, you really
are my own flesh and blood, how ‘bout that”.

YAQUB MARRIES LEAH AND RAKEL

Now Laban had two daughters, Leah (the older) and Rakel (the younger). Leah
was not as attractive as her sister and had no sparkle or glimmer in her
eyes (much plainer to look at), while Rakel was absolutely breathtaking
with a gorgeous face and body. And after Yaqub had stayed (and
worked with the family) for a month, his Uncle Laban said to him, “Let’s
talk my boy, it’s great having you here, but even though we’re family, you
shouldn’t be working for nothing. It’s time I started paying you. So name
your price?” And Yaqub was head-over-heels smitten and in love with
Rakel so he said, “I want to marry Rakel but I have nothing to give you
for her, so let me work here seven years for Rakel?”

BARASHITH. 29 69.
Laban said, “That’s wonderful, I’d rather give her to you than some other
stranger. Ok, seven years my boy....Stay and work with us”.
GIFTS AND PAYMENTS GIVEN TO FAMILIES FOR THEIR DAUGHTERS TO BE
MARRIED IS A COMMON PRACTICE IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.

So Yaqub worked the full seven years so that he could marry Rakel,
but he loved her so much that the seven years only seemed like a few
days. And he said to his Uncle Laban, “Ok I’ve worked for you seven
years now so please give me your daughter so that I may ‘take her into
my tent’ and have her as my wife”. So Laban threw a big banquet and
they all ate and drank into the evening. However afterwards, instead of
presenting Rakel to Yaqub as promised, Laban took Leah instead (as
well as her maid-servant, Zilpah) and in the darkness Yaqub didn’t know
and he slept with Leah, making her his wife (ONCE YOU HAVE SEXUAL
INTERCOURSE WITH SOMEONE YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MARRIED TO
THEM AS FAR AS YAHUSHA IS CONCERNED - THAT IS HOW TO GET
MARRIED - COMMIT & CONSUMMATE).

And when Yaqub woke up in the morning and saw Leah sleeping next
to him he was furious and went to his Uncle Laban, saying “WHAT ON
EARTH HAVE YOU DONE, TRICKING ME LIKE THIS AFTER I WORKED
SEVEN YEARS FOR YOUR DAUGHTER RAKEL? NOW I’VE MARRIED
HER SISTER LEAH INSTEAD? WHAT THE HELL??” And Laban was
cunning and shrewd, “O’ didn’t we tell you, it’s not our custom here to
marry off the younger daughter before the FIRSTBORN, surely you knew
that? Don’t worry though, we’ll give you Rakel too after your bridal week
is over . . . as long as you promise to work another seven years for me?”
IT’S COMPLETELY IRONIC GIVEN YAQUB’S TRICKERY OF HIS OWN
`FIRSTBORN’ BROTHER - YAHUSHA INDEED HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR!

And despite being outraged, Yaqub agreed to the terms because he

loved Rakel so much and was allured by her beauty. And after the `bridal
week’ was over, Laban gave Rakel to him as his wife and he ‘took her
into his tent’ and slept with her, making her his wife also.
SINCE A BRIDE AND GROOM HAD USUALLY NOT SPENT ANY TIME ALONE
TOGETHER BEFORE THE WEDDING IT WAS CUSTOMARY TO GIVE THEM A
WEEK ALONE TO BE INTIMATE AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER PROPERLY
BEFORE THEY MADE ANY PUBLIC APPEARANCES AS A HUSBAND AND WIFE.
THIS IS THE ‘BRIDAL WEEK’ LABAN IS REFERRING TO.

BARASHITH. 29 70.
LEAH‘S CHILDREN
So Yaqub was around 80 years old and he stayed and worked another
seven years for his Uncle Laban and had both Leah and Rakel as his
wives. But he loved Rakel much more than Leah, so when YAHUSHA
saw how upset and unloved Leah was, He had compassion on her and
allowed her to fall pregnant. But Rakel, He did not let fall pregnant. And
Leah gave birth to a son and named him RAUBEN (‘look a son’) for she
thought to herself “Yahuah has seen my misery, and now maybe my
husband will love me”. Not long after she fell pregnant again and gave
birth to another son, calling him SHIMEUN (‘one who hears’) for she thought,
“Yahuah has heard that I am unloved and has given me another son”.
Then a third time she fell pregnant and had a son, calling him LUI (‘joined
or feeling affection’) thinking, “Surely my husband will feel affection for me

now since I have given him three wonderful sons”. Then she fell pregnant
one last time, giving birth to Yahudah (‘praise’) and said “Now I praise
Yahuah”.

BILHAH‘S CHILDREN
While Leah was having child after child, Rachel became very jealous of
her sister because she could not give Yaqub any children. REMEMBER
THAT THE ONLY SOURCE OF A WOMAN’S SELF ESTEEM WAS CONNECTED
TO HER ABILITY TO BEAR CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY A SON. “I’m so upset I
just want to die, will you please just give me a child?” She begged Yaqub,
but he got angry at her behaviour, “Am I Yahuah? Do I have the power
to let you fall pregnant? You need to look at yourself here!” But Rakel
screamed at him, “JUST TAKE MY SERVANT BILHAH AND HAVE CHILDREN
WITH HER SO I CAN AT LEAST HAVE A FAMILY THROUGH HER”. So he did!
Bilhah became Yaqub’s servant-wife and after she fell pregnant and had
a son, Rakel named him DAN (‘He judged’) for she thought “Yahuah has
let me `off the hook’ and freed me”. Then Bilhah gave Yaqub another
son and Rakel called him NAFTALI (‘my struggle’) for she thought “I have
wrestled and struggled with my sister and I’m winning”.

ZILPAH‘S CHILDREN
And when Leah realised that she was unable to fall pregnant anymore
she gave her maid-servant Zilpah to Yaqub for him to marry also. And
Zilpah fell pregnant and presented him with a son as well, and Leah

BARASHITH. 30 71.
laughed, “How fortunate am I?” And she called him GAD (‘good fortune’).
Then she fell pregnant again and the child was called ASHER (‘happy’) for
Leah thought “How blessed am I and all the other women will celebrate
with me”. (NAMES REFLECTED THE NATURE OR EVENT SURROUNDING THE CHILD)

One day while the wheat-harvest was happening, Rauben gathered

some dudaim melons that were growing out in the field and he brought
them to his mother Leah. Rakel saw this and didn’t want her sister
having all the `drunken fun’ so she begged her, “Please give me some of
your son’s dudaim melons”. But Leah snapped back, “IT’S NOT ENOUGH
THAT YOU STOLE MY HUSBAND, NOW YOU WANNA TAKE MY SON’S
DUDAIM MELONS TOO?” But Rachel said “I’ll let Yaqub sleep with you
tonight if you give me some melons”.
DUDAIM MELONS (CALLED `MANDRAKE’ OR `LOVE APPLES’) ARE
A HALLUCINOGENIC FRUIT THAT MADE PEOPLE VERY DRUNK.

So that evening as Yaqub was coming home from the field, Leah ran
out to meet him, saying, “You’re sleeping with me tonight darling, Rakel
and I have made a deal”. So he slept with Leah that night and YAHUSHA
blessed her with a fifth son and she called him YISSASKAR (‘my reward’) for
she thought, “Yahuah has rewarded me for giving my maid-servant to my
husband”. Then she fell pregnant again and called the child ZEBULUN
(‘reward’) thinking “Yahuah has rewarded me again, now my husband will

respect me for I’ve given him six sons”. Then she finally had a daughter
and they named her DINAH (‘the daughter’).

And YAHUSHA remembered Rakel and her sadness and he answered

her requests, allowing her to fall pregnant and give birth to a son. She
was so happy and rejoiced saying “Yahuah has taken away my shame
and allowed me to have a child”, and she named him YUSEF (‘may he add’)
for she said, “Yahuah has added yet another child to my family”.

STREAKED, SPECKLED AND SPOTTED FLOCKS

And after Rakel had given birth to Yusef, Yaqub said to his Uncle Laban,
“I want to go home to the land of my father Yitshaq. Release me and let
me take all of my wives and children, for I have certainly earned them
by working all these years for you”. And Laban replied, “Yes you have
served me well and your Alahim Yahuah has blessed me and I’ve become

BARASHITH. 30 72.
very wealthy from all of your hard work. I’d really like you to stay though
Yaqub for we are family. So what is your price?” And Yaqub said, “Look
my Uncle, I’ve worked my fingers to the bone increasing your livestock
and herds, and we both know that you had ‘next to nothing’ before I
came along but now Yahuah has blessed you through all of my hard
work. But I need to start thinking about my own family now and provide
for them”. “So name your price then?” Laban said.

And Yaqub said, “I don’t want anything more from you, except this one
thing. I’m going to go and check out all the flocks and take out all the
sheep and goats that are streaked, speckled or spotted (lesser quality
breed having impurities) plus all the black sheep too. Give these to me
as my wages so I can start providing for my own family. And in the
future when you inspect any of my flocks you’ll see that I’ve been honest
with you because of their colors. But if you find any goats without any
streaks, speckles or spots, or any sheep that aren’t black, you will know
that I have cheated and stolen from you. This will keep us honest. Let me
do this and I’ll keep looking after all of your flocks”. “Ok agreed” Laban
said, but that night he went out into the pastures and removed all the
male and female goats that were streaked, speckled, spotted or had any
white patches, as well as all the black sheep. He gave them to his own
sons, who took them on a three days journey from where Laban lived so
Yaqub would never know about them.

And Yaqub continued to live with his Uncle, feeding and guarding his
flocks, even though he noticed that none of the flocks had any streaks,
speckles or spots (all of a sudden!), and there were no black sheep either for
his wages. And once again he knew he’d been cheated by his slimey Uncle.

ANCIENT GENETIC BREEDING

So Yaqub cunningly took the fresh branches from the poplar, almond
and chestnut trees, peeled off the bark, making white streaks on them
and exposed the inner rods. Then he placed these peeled branches in
the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, for that’s where
they all mated. And when they mated in front of the white-streaked
branches, they gave birth to lambs that were streaked, speckled, and
spotted. Then Yaqub separated those lambs from Laban’s flock. And

BARASHITH. 30 73.
at mating time he turned the flock to face Laban’s animals that were
streaked or black. This is how he built his own flock instead of increasing
Laban’s. And whenever the stronger females were ready to mate, Yaqub
would again place the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front
of them. Then they would mate in front of the branches. But he didn’t do
this with the weaker ones, so the weaker lambs belonged to Laban, and
the stronger ones were his. And by doing this for several years, Yaqub
himself became very wealthy, with large flocks of sheep and goats,
female and male servants, and many camels and donkeys.

But one day Yaqub heard his cousins (Laban’s sons) grumbling and
complaining about him saying, “Yaqub has scammed our father out of
all his wealth and everything he’s got is really from us”. And he also
noticed that his Uncle was behaving very differently towards him now
that there had been a ‘shift in the wealth’. So that night YAHUSHA spoke
to Yaqub, “It’s time to go home my son, back to the land of your father
Yitshaq (who lived in Barsheba). Gather your whole family and go, and
remember that I will always be with you”.

So Yaqub had a chat with his wives out in the field, while he kept an
eye on the flocks (to gauge how they really felt about this big move), and he
said to both Rachel and Leah, “Surely you can both see that your father
hates me now, because his own scam has backfired on him, and Yahuah,
the mighty Alahim of my fathers, has been increasing and blessing us all.
You both know how hard I’ve worked for that man over the years and
time after time he has lied, cheated and changed my wages, but Yahuah
has allowed all this to happen without him harming me. Your father told
me that all the speckled animals will be my wages, then the whole flock
began to produce speckled young. Then your father changed his mind
and said that all the striped animals will be my wages, then the whole
flock produced striped young. Yahuah showed me how to take everything
from your father because of his dishonest, deceitful behaviour and now
He has given everything over to me”.

“Yahuah also came to me in a dream during the mating season, saying,

“Yaqub, can you see that it’s only the streaked, speckled, and spotted
males that are mating with the females of your flock. I have seen the

BARASHITH. 31 74.
despicable way that your Uncle Laban is treating you and I Am the
One Who appeared to you at Beital, the place where you annointed
the memorial stone and where we raised up a Covenant. Now gather
your whole family and leave this place”.

And both Rachel and Leah agreed, “That’s fine, there’s no inheritance
for us now from our father anyway and we have as much influence as a
foreign women does. And after he sold us to you, he squandered all the
money you paid him, so the wealth Yahuah has given you from our father
actually belongs to us and our children anyway. Let’s go ahead and do
what Yahuah has told you to do and stop being our father’s slaves.”
A LARGE PART OF THE BRIDE-PRICE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THE BRIDE
BUT LABAN KEPT ALL OF THE MONEY YAQUB PAID HIM, FOR HIMSELF.

YAQUB LEAVES LABAN

So Yaqub gathered his wives and children and put them all on camels, and
he drove all of his livestock in front of him. He packed all the belongings
and wealth he had acquired in Paddan Aram (Karan) with his Uncle and
set out for the land of Kenan, to the land of his father Yitshaq.

And Laban was out sheering his sheep at the time they all left, so Rakel
crept into his house and stole her father’s household idols, taking them
with her. And Laban never knew that any of them were leaving because
Yaqub had deceived him by fleeing the land in secret, crossing the
Euphrates River and heading to the mountains of Gileed. It wasn’t until
three days later that Laban was told of Yaqub’s departure and when
he found out he `saw red’, and gathered a group of his relatives to set
out in a fast and furious pursuit. And he actually caught up with Yaqub
seven days later near the mountains of Gileed. But before he could do
anything rash, YAHUSHA appeared to Laban in a dream, warning him
to leave Yaqub alone and not to do anything horrible to him. So Laban
set up his camp not far away from Yaqub and then went in for the big
confrontation . . .
“WHAT’S THE DEAL SKULKING OFF LIKE A GUTLESS SUCKA IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? DRAGGING MY DAUGHTERS AWAY LIKE
PRISONERS IN SECRET. WHY NOT BE A MAN AND TELL ME YOU’RE
LEAVING INSTEAD OF DECEIVING ME LIKE A COWARD?

BARASHITH. 31 75.
We could have feasted together with wine and singing and music, with
tambourines and harps playing. I was not even able to kiss my daughters
and grandchildren and say good-bye! You have acted so treacherously
my boy! I SHOULD ‘RIP YOU A NEW ONE’ AND DESTROY YOU . . . But
Yahuah, the Alahim of your father Yitshaq spoke to me last night telling
me to leave you alone. Now I can understand that you want to be back
in the land of your fathers, but why would you steal my sacred idols that
protect the wealth and security of my home, a place I welcomed you in?”

And Yaqub responded, “I left without telling you because I was afraid
you’d take your daughters back by force, but as for your household idols,
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Go and search everyone in our
camp and see for yourself. If anyone stole them then let their blood be
shed, and while you’re at it, if you find anything else that you think is
yours, show it to all of us and you can have it back!”
(Yaqub didn’t know it was Rakel who stole the idols.)
THE PERSON WHO HAD THE HOUSEHOLD IDOLS WAS ALSO IN CHARGE OF
THE FAMILIES’ WEALTH AND AUTHORITY - THIS WAS MUCH MORE THAN
JUST PETTY THEFT - RAKEL WAS MAKING A MOVE FOR HER FATHER’S
FUTURE INHERITANCE.

Laban went into Yaqub’s tent to search there first, then into Leah’s, and
then the tents of the two servant-wives, and after he found nothing, he
went into Rakel’s tent (who had hidden the idols in her camel’s saddle-
bag, which she was sitting on). When Laban had thoroughly searched
her tent he signalled for Rakel to get off her camel, but she said, “I can’t
get up right now, it’s ‘that time of the month’.” So Laban left her alone
for fear of becoming `unclean’ and continued his search, but found no
household idols. And Yaqub was fed up with this abuse! “WHY ARE YOU
SO DESPERATE TO GET ME? CHASING ME THROUGH THE DESERT
FOR THREE DAYS LIKE SOME FREAKY MAD MAN. AM I A CRIMINAL?
WHAT IS MY CRIME AGAINST YOU? YOU HAVE RUMMAGED THROUGH
EVERYONE’S STUFF AND WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND? PLEASE . . .
SHOW US ALL? “For twenty years I have been with you, looking after
your flocks and in all that time none of them ever miscarried. In all those
years I never used any of your rams for food and if any of them were
killed by wild animals, I never made a big deal about it . . .

BARASHITH. 31 76.
NO, I TOOK EVERY SINGLE LOSS MYSELF! AND YOU MADE ME PAY
FOR EVERY SINGLE STOLEN ANIMAL. I worked through the scorching
heat and through cold and sleepless nights. YES, FOR TWENTY YEARS I
SLAVED IN YOUR HOUSE! I WORKED FOR FOURTEEN YEARS EARNING
YOUR TWO DAUGHTERS, AND THEN SIX MORE YEARS FOR YOUR
FLOCK. AND YOU CHANGED MY WAGES TEN TIMES! Infact if Yahuah
wasn’t with me and blessing me, you would have ‘kicked me to the curb’
years ago. But Yahuah, the Alahim of my fathers has seen your abusive
behaviour and my loyal hard work and that is why He appeared to you
last night..... AND TOLD YOU OFF!”

And Laban saw how powerful Yaqub’s little `empire’ was becoming and
knew he was getting no where with this confrontation so he decided to
`sweep it all under the rug’ and instead ensure his future safety, saying
“Everything you have, these women, children, flocks..... they’re all from
me. But what can I do about any of that now? If you want to feel that way
about me after everything then that’s your choice. But let’s call a truce
for now and make a Covenant-Agreement to ensure our family’s futures”.

So after cutting up a clean animal, and dividing it they walked between

it, and Yaqub lifted up a large stone as a witness and all his family
grabbed stones and put them into a big pile, then Yaqub and Laban
sat down and ate a covenant meal. And as a witness of their Covenant-
Agreement, Laban called the place Yegar Sahadutha (“witness pile” in
Aramaic), and Yaqub called it Galeed (“witness pile” in Hebrew). And
Laban declared, “This pile of stones will stand as a witness to remind
us of the covenant we have both made today.” And it was also called
Mitspah (“watchtower”), for Laban said, “Yahuah will watch us and
make sure we both keep this Covenant when we are out of each other’s
sight. And if you’re cruel or abusive to either of my daughters or if you
marry any other wives, Yahuah will deal with you, for He is the witness
of this Covenant between us AND LET THIS COVENANT STAND - I will
never pass this pile of stones to attack you, and you must never pass
these stones or this monument to harm me. I call on Yahuah, the Alahim
(mighty one) of your grandfather Abraham and I call on the Alahim of my
grandfather Nahor to judge between us.” (even though Laban had been visited by
Yahuah the night before he still stubbornly clung to his false-idols and pagan deities).

BARASHITH. 31 77.
So Yaqub promised to respect the boundary line and made a burnt
offering to Yahuah right there on the mountain and they all feasted
in their newly formed Covenant-Agreement. And after they all ate and
drank, they spent the night on the mountains of Gileed. And Laban got
up early the next morning, kissed his grandchildren and his daughters
and spoke blessings over them. Then he went home.

As Yaqub started travelling towards Kenan again, messengers of Yahuah

appeared to him and upon seeing them, Yaqub said, “This is the camp
of Yahuah!” And he called the place Makanayim (meaning “two houses” -
very prophetic). Then he sent servants ahead to his brother Esu, who was
living in the region of Seir in the fields of Edom, telling them, “Give this
message to my brother Esu: ‘Dear brother, hello, it’s your servant Yaqub.
I’ve been living with Uncle Laban all these years, and now I own cattle,
donkeys, flocks and many servants. I have sent these messengers ahead
of me to inform you of my arrival, hoping that you’ll be kind to me for I’m
truly sorry for my crimes against you.” And after delivering the message,
the messengers returned to Yaqub saying, “We met your brother, Esu,
and he is already on his way to meet you with an army of 400 men!”
And Yaqub was terrified at their news (because of his deception against his
brother 20 years before). So he quickly separated his household (along
with the flocks, herds and camels), into two groups, for he thought “If
Esu meets one group and attacks it, the other group can still escape.”

Then Yaqub prayed, “O’ Yahuah of my grandfather Abraham, and of my

father, Yitshaq, You Yourself told me to return to the land of my fathers
and You promised that You’ll always be with me. I know I am nothing
and not worthy of all the kindness and truth you have shown me, your
servant. For indeed when I left home and crossed the Yardan River, I had
nothing but a walking stick and now my household is big enough to split
into two large groups! Please my Master Yahuah, deliver me and rescue
me from Esu’s anger. I’m so afraid that he’s coming to slaughter me with
my wives and children. But You promised that You’ll always be with me
and that You’d multiply my descendants until they became as numerous
as the sands on the seashore (too many to count). And Yaqub stayed where
he was for the whole night and then selected these gifts to present to
his brother: 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,

BARASHITH. 32 78.
30 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys,
and 10 male donkeys. Then he divided these animals into herds and
gave them to different servants, telling them, “Go ahead of me with the
animals, but keep some distance between the herds. ”And to the men
leading the first group he said: “When my brother Esu meets you, he
will ask, ‘Whose servants are you? Where are you going? And who owns
these flocks?’ And you must reply, ‘They belong to your brother Yaqub
your servant, and they’re gifts for you Master Esu. Look! He’s coming
behind us now.’” And to the second and third herdsmen and everyone
else following behind, Yaqub told them: “You must say the same thing
to Esu when you meet him and don’t forget to tell him that I’m following
right behind you.” For Yaqub thought, “I will try to soften my brother
and `butter him up’ with gifts, before he sees me. Then when I see him in
person, maybe he’ll be forgiving.” So the gifts were sent on ahead, while
Yaqub spent the night in the camp.

YAQUB WRESTLES WITH YAHUSHA

During the night Yaqub took his two wives, servant-wives, and his
eleven sons and crossed the Yabboq River with them and after getting
them all safely to the other side he sent over all his possessions. Then
Yaqub was left all alone in the camp, and YAHUSHA appeared to him
as a man (who Yaqub didn’t recognise in the dark) and He wrestled with
him all night! But when YAHUSHA saw that Yaqub wouldn’t let Him
win the match, He touched Yaqub on the hip, wrenching it out of its
socket. Then YAHUSHA said, “Come on, that’s enough now, let Me go,
the sun’s about to rise!” But Yaqub said, “Forget it. You’re staying right
here until You bless me!” And YAHUSHA said “What’s your name?”
“Yaqub” he replied. “Not anymore it’s not! From now on you will be
called ‘YISHARAL’ because you have wrestled with Me and with men
and you have overcome.” “And what’s your name?” Yaqub said. “Why
do you need to know My name?” YAHUSHA asked, before speaking
words of blessing over him. Then Yaqub named the place ‘Penual’ (“face
of Yahuah”) for he said, “I have definitely seen Yahuah face to face, and yet
my life has been spared.” And when the sun was rising Yaqub left Penual
and he was limping because of the injury to his hip.
(And even today many religious people don’t eat the tendon near the hip socket
because of what happened that night when YAHUSHA touched Yaqub’s hip.)

BARASHITH. 32 79.
YAQUB’S 20 YEAR REUNION WITH ESAU
And after his life-changing and humbling encounter with YAHUSHA,
Yaqub saw Esu thundering towards them with his 400 men. So he
quickly divided the children up among Leah, Rakel, and his two servant-
wives, putting the servant-wives and their children up front, Leah and
her children behind, then Rakel and Yusef last. And Yaqub went ahead
of them all. And completely terrified and humbled (with no apparent
firstborn authority) he approached his brother, (now limping) bowing
humbly to the ground seven times before him in repentance (definitely
not the behaviour of a firstborn). And seeing this, Esu ran to meet him
and hugged him, and rejoiced, and putting his arms around his brother’s
neck, he kissed him. And they both wept.

Then Esu looked at the women and children and asked, “Who are all
these people with you?” “These are the children that Yahuah has given
me”, Yaqub replied. Then the servant-wives came forward with their
children and bowed before him, followed by Leah and her children, and
lastly Rakel and Yusef came forward and bowed before him. “And what’s
the deal with all the flocks and herds I came across earlier?” Esu asked.
“They’re a gift of kindness to you for I’m so very sorry for my wickedness”.
But Esu reassured his brother, “I have plenty bro, keep what you have
for your own family.” But Yaqub insisted, “Please brother, if you’ve truly
forgiven me, please accept this gift. I’m just so relieved to see you smiling
at me again, it’s like seeing the face of Yahuah! Please take this gift I’ve
brought you today, for Yahuah has blessed me all these years and I have
more than enough.” And after Yaqub insisted, Esu finally accepted his
gift, saying “It’s time to get out of here. I’ll lead the way”. But Yaqub said,
“Brother, some of our children are very young, and the flocks and herds
have their young as well. If they are pushed too hard, even for only one
day, the animals could die. You go ahead of us and we will follow you
slowly, at a pace that is comfortable for the livestock and the children
and we’ll meet you at Seir.” “Ok” Esu said, “At least let me give you some
of my men to guide and ‘protect’ you.” But Yaqub responded, “It’s Ok
we’ll be fine. It’s enough that you’ve received me with such kindness and
warmth today”. So Esu turned around and headed back to Seir while
Yaqub (making sure he wasn’t being trapped by his brother in some
deceptive scheme to seek revenge) travelled in the opposite direction,

BARASHITH. 33 80.
to Sukkoth, where he built himself a house, made shelters (little booths)
for all of his livestock, and stayed there for a couple of years. That is why
the place was named Sukkoth (booths).

And arriving in Kenan, Yaqub was supposed to keep going down to

Barsheba, to the land of his father Yitshaq (as he was instructed by
YAHUSHA), but he chose to stop at Shalem (a walled city of Shekem)
and they set up camp just outside the town (one of his grandfather Abraham’s
favourite spots). And Yaqub actually bought the land that they were staying
on from the family of Hamor, (the father of Shekem), for 100 pieces of silver
and then he built a stone-table (altar) and named it “Al Alohi Yisharal”
(“how mighty is Yahuah, the Alahim of Yisharal”) for this was the exact
place that his grandfather Abraham had met Malkitsedeq (King of Shalem
and high-priest of Al Alohi). THIS PROPHETIC EVENT SHOWS THAT JUST AS
YAHUSHA THE DELIVERER (MALKITSEDEQ) WAS A HIGH-PRIEST UNTO
YAHUAH, YISHARAL WOULD BECOME THE SAME - KINGS AND PRIESTS TO
THE NATIONS.

YAQUB’S DAUGHTER DINAH

One day Dinah (the daughter of Yaqub and Leah) was bored and wanted
some excitement and adventure, so she left the protection of her home
and went into the city, attending a local pagan feast with some of the
young women who lived in the area. Shekem (son of King Hamor) saw
Dinah and attacked her, seizing and raping her. But afterwards he fell
in love with her, and tried to win her over with all kinds of affectionate
words but she wouldn’t have it. He even went to his father, King Hamor
and demanded, “Father, get this woman for me. I want to marry her.”

And Yaqub heard that Shekem had attacked and raped his daughter,
Dinah and was holding her inside the city walls (almost like a prisoner).
But since his sons were out in the fields herding the flocks, he said
nothing until they came home. Meanwhile King Hamor, Shekem’s father,
had come to discuss a bride-price with Yaqub, who was more interested
in keeping the peace and preserving his own reputation in the eyes of
the surrounding cities. Dinah’s brothers however were running in from
the field (shocked and furious after hearing that their sister had been
raped). Shekem had done an evil, disgraceful act against Yaqub’s family,
something that should never be done.

BARASHITH. 34 81.
THE KING ACTUALLY OWED YAQUB MONEY NOW SINCE HIS SON HAD
DEFILED AND `RUINED’ DINAH, MAKING IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO
FIND A HUSBAND, NOW THAT SHE WASN’T A VIRGIN.

And King Hamor spoke with Yaqub and his sons without any apology
or acknowledgment of the incident, “My son Shekem truly loves your
daughter, please let him marry her. In fact, let’s arrange lots of other
marriages as well. We’ll give you more of our daughters for your sons to
marry if you will give us more of your daughters for our sons to marry.
And you can live in our land, settle here and trade among us. You can
also buy property within the city if you’d like.” Then Shekem himself
pleaded with Yaqub and his sons, “I’ll do whatever you want, and give
you whatever you ask, but please let me marry Dinah. Whatever gift you
demand, I will gladly pay it, just give me the girl as my wife.”

But since Shekem had attacked and raped their sister, and their father
clearly wasn’t doing anything about it, Yaqub’s sons lied to Shekem
and his father (while keeping their seething hatred inside), saying,
“We can’t intermix with you or even live among you because you’re not
circumcised and it would be against our Alahim and a hideous disgrace
for our sister to marry a man like you! However if every man among you
got circumcised in their flesh like we are, then we will allow our daughters
to marry your sons, and we will take your daughters for ourselves. Then
we could live among you and become one people. But if you don’t agree
to be circumcised, then forget about it!”

Shekem (and his father) agreed and wasted no time in getting things
in motion as he desperately wanted Yaqub’s daughter for himself, and
being a respected member of his family, he went with his father, and
presented this new proposal to the leaders of the town, saying, “Look,
the land is large enough for all of us and they are our friends. We can
take their daughters as wives and let them marry ours. But the only way
they will even consider staying here and becoming one people with us is
if all our men are circumcised, just as they are, according to their Alahim.
Now let’s all agree to their terms and get on with this.” But after much
apprehension from the leaders, King Hamor said “Not only their women,
but all their cattle, their possessions and all their animals will be ours
too.......come on lads....AGREE!”

BARASHITH. 34 82.
So all the men agreed with Shekem, and every male in the town was
circumcised that very day! However three days later, when the cut-
wounds from their circumcision were still sore, two of Yaqub sons,
Shimeun and Lui, (who were Dinah’s full-brothers and very protective
of her) gathered their clans, took their swords, entered the town and
murdered every single male there, (including King Hamor and his son
Shekem). They slaughtered them all with their swords, took their sister
Dinah from Shekem’s house and returned to their camp. Meanwhile, the
rest of Yaqub’s sons rocked up into town and found the bloody crime-
scene and, without any remorse, they plundered the town because their
sister had been attacked and raped there, stealing all the flocks, herds
and donkeys, (infact anything they could get their grubby little hands
on, both inside the town and outside in the fields). They robbed and
looted all the wealth and plundered every house. They even took all the
wives and little children as prisoners.

When Yaqub found out about this he ‘nearly had a heartache’ and
‘ripped his clothes’ in distress. And calling Shimeun and Lui to him
he severely told them off! “YOU STUPID BLUNDERING BEEF-CAKES,
ARE YOU TRYING TO DESTROY ME? YOUR SAVAGE BEHAVIOUR HAS
MADE ME A DISGUSTING STINK AMOUNG ALL THE PEOPLE OF THIS
LAND. LOOK HOW MANY OF THEM THERE ARE AND HOW SMALL
OUR FAMILY IS. THEY WILL JOIN FORCES AND CRUSH US AND I’LL BE
RUINED, AND MY ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD WILL BE WIPED OUT! DID YOU
EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOUR PSYCHOTIC BLOODBATH?”
But they had little love or respect for their father and came straight
back with, “WHAT? HE MOLESTED OUR SISTER LIKE A COMMON
WHORE AND NONE OF THEM EVEN CARED! WERE WE SUPPOSED TO
LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THAT??”

DESPITE THE INCIDENT, YAHUSHA WAS NOT GOING TO ALLOW HIS

ROYAL BLOODLINE TO BE MIXED WITH THE PAGAN KENANITES - HE HAD
SEPARATED HIS `CIRCUMCISED HEBREW’ PEOPLE FROM THE NATIONS
BUT THEY KEPT TRYING TO GO BACK AND INTER-BREED!

Then YAHUSHA said to Yaqub, “Get your family ready and go back to
Beital. Settle there and build a stone-monument to Me there in the
place where I first appeared to you when you were fleeing from your
brother Esu.”

BARASHITH. 34 83.
EVER SINCE MANKIND LEFT THE GARDEN, THEY HAD WORSHIPPED
MANY DIFFERENT DEITIES, BELIEVING THAT EACH ONE’S POWER WAS
TERRITORIAL. EVEN THOUGH YAQUB HAD MET YAHUSHA IT’S STILL VERY
POSSIBLE THAT HE THINKS THERE ARE OTHER DEITIES TOO, WHICH IS WHY
YAHUSHA IS ALWAYS REMINDING HIM WHICH ALAHIM HE IS. IT’S A VERY
SUPERSTITIOUS CULTURE, AND YAHUSHA NEVER ASKED YAQUB TO BUILD
AN ALTAR WHILE LIVING UP WITH HIS UNCLE (IN A DIFFERENT TERRITORY).
BUT NOW THAT HE’S BACK IN KENAN `YAHUSHA’S PROMISED LAND’, YAQUB
PROBABLY BELIEVES THAT YAHUSHA’S POWER IS RESTRICTED TO THIS
PLACE. OF COURSE THIS THEORY WILL SOON BE BLOWN APART IN EGYPT.

So Yaqub spoke to everyone in his household, “It’s time to get rid of

all your pagan-idols, wash yourselves, and put on clean clothes. We’re
going to Beital, and I’m going to build another stone-table there in
honor of Yahuah, Who comforted me when I was terrified after leaving
my family years ago. He has been with me wherever I’ve gone, always
blessing and protecting me.” So the whole family cleansed themselves
and gave Yaqub all their pagan-idols and earrings, and he buried them
under the terebinth tree near Shekem (where his grandfather Abraham
had previously pitched his tent). And they all departed and a great
terror from Yahuah spread over all the people in the land, and no one
dared to attack any of Yaqub’s family or seek revenge for the recent
massacre. And eventually Yaqub and his household arrived at Beitel, in
Kenan (about 40kms) and Yaqub built another stone-table there, re-
naming the place “Al Beital” because YAHUSHA had first appeared to
him there (the ladder dream) when he was fleeing from his brother Esu.

IT’S PRETTY CLEAR IN THIS ERA THAT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS WERE

CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH DIVINE VISITS FROM YAHUSHA AND SO
FREQUENT ATTEMPTS WERE MADE BY MEN TO ‘RECONNECT’ BY GOING
BACK TO THE SAME MEMORABLE LOCATIONS. IN THIS CASE, BEITAL.
Soon after this, Ribkah’s old nurse, Deborah (who first travelled with her
from Karan) died and was also buried under the terebinth tree in the
valley below Beital. And the place was called Allon-bakuth (“weeping”).
DEBORAH’S DEATH OFFICIALLY SEVERED TIES WITH ANY OF THEIR OLD
RELATIVES AND PAGAN HOMELAND OF KARAN. YISHARAL WAS NOW
SEPARATED UNTO YAHUSHA.

BARASHITH. 35 84.
And now that he had returned from his ‘slavery’ in Paddan Aram with
his Uncle, it was time for YAHUSHA to once again appeared to Yaqub
and remind him who he was (the name-change) and to raise up His
Eternal-Blood-Covenant with him.

“Remember Yaqub (“deceiver”) I have changed your name and

from now on you will be called YISHARAL (“to rule with Alahim”)
Remember that I am Al Shaddai (‘Almighty Alahim of the
mountain’) Be fruitful and increase across the earth for you will
become a GREAT COMPANY OF NATIONS, and Kings will be
among the descendants of your body! And the land which I
once gave to your fathers Abraham and Yitshaq, this promised
land that you ran away from and have now returned, I will give
to you and your descendants after you.”

Then YAHUSHA ‘went up’ (disappeared) from the place where he had
spoken to Yaqub, who set up another stone pillar to mark the place where
YAHUSHA had again spoken to him (for a record). Then he poured wine
over it as an offering to Yahuah and anointed the pillar with oil. And
this is the place that Yisharal (Yaqub) had named Beital (“house of Alahim”),
because YAHUSHA had now spoken to him twice there.

By this stage YAHUSHA had divided the earth into:

HEBREWS / NON-HEBREWS
(NATIONS/gUyim)

“A GREAT COMPANY OF NATIONS”

Abraham produced both Hebrews & Nations
(THROUGH BOTH YITSHAQ & YISHMAAL)

Yitshaq produced both Hebrews & Nations

(THROUGH BOTH YAQUB & ESU)

Yaqub only produced Hebrews:

THE 12 TRIBES OF YISHARAL

BARASHITH. 35
85.
 THE BIRTH OF BENYAMIN / DEATH OF RAKEL
After leaving Beital, Yisharal (Yaqub) had almost arrived in Afrath when
Rakel went into labor. Her pain was very intense and she had great
difficulty giving birth. But after her excruciating delivery, her midwife said
to her “Don’t worry dear, it’s another beautiful boy for you”. But as her
pain increased and the life was slowly draining from her, Rakel named her
new son Ben-Oni (“son of my sorrow”) with her last dying breath. A little later
Yisharal (Yaqub) altered his name to BENYAMIN (“son of my right hand”). So Rakel
died and was buried on the way to Afrath (Beyth Lekem) and Yisharal
(Yaqub) built a stone column over her grave and mourned for his darling
sweetheart. And this memorial can still be seen to this day.

Then Yisharal (Yaqub) and the family kept travelling and pitched their tents
beyond the Tower of Eder, and Yisharal (Yaqub) went to see his father
Yitshaq in Mamre, (where his grandfather Abraham had also dwelt) and
Yitshaq breathed his last and died at the age of 180 years, and was buried
by his sons Yaqub and Esu.

RAUBEN’S DEPRAVED FIRSTBORN HEIST
One day, while Yisharal (Yaqub) was still away burying his father, Rauben
(his oldest son) saw the nakedness of his father’s servant-wife Bilhah
while she bathed in a private place and his loins burned for her, and he
thought to himself, “My Father’s favourite wife (Rakel) is dead, so I will
defile her maid-servant (Bilhah) too and let my mother Leah finally be my
father’s favourite, and then I will inherit a double-portion of everything”.
And that night Rauben looked into Bilhah’s tent and saw her asleep with
her nakedness exposed (for she had drunk too much wine) and he crept
in and had sex with her while she slept, defiling her and making sure
she could not be his father’s ‘choice wife’. And when Yisharal (Yaqub)

returned home from burying his father, Reuben made sure his father
found out exactly what he’d done, in order to ensure his future blessings.

SERVANT-WIVES/CONCUBINES WERE INHERITED FROM FATHER TO

FIRST-BORN SON AFTER THE FATHER’S DEATH, BUT RAUBEN WAS
ACTING SHREWDLY TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF HIS BIRTHRIGHT-
BLESSING BY SLEEPING WITH HIS FATHER’S SERVANT-WIFE
BEFORE HIS FATHER HAD EVEN DIED.

And Yisharal (Yaqub) let his son Rauben ‘have’ his wickedness and didn’t
punish him (for the time being), nor did he sleep with his servant-wife
Bilhah again. And YAHUSHA struck Rauben with sores on his groin-
area for seven months, a grievous affliction which would have killed
him if Yisharal (Yaqub) hadn’t intervened and prayed over him. And even
after the sores cleared up, Rauben lived the next seven years away from
strong drink, meat and pleasant food, for word had spread throughout
the entire family of his wicked behaviour, and he was incredibly ashamed
and unable to even look his father in the eye even until the day of his
father’s death.

YUSEF (JOSEPH) & HIS ROYAL TUNIC
And Yisharal settled in Kebron, in the land of Kenan where his father
had travelled years before and this is the account of how YAHUSHA
blessed and increased his family. When Yusef was seventeen years old,
he helped in the tending of
his father’s flocks, working
for his half-brothers, (the
sons of his father’s servant-
wives Bilhah and Zilpah).
And Yusef was `up himself’,
always ‘snitching’ on his
brothers, and lifting himself
up in the eyes of everyone.
And Yisharal loved Yusef
more than all his other
children because Rakel (his
favourite wife) had given
birth to Yusef in his old age.
And Yisharal had a beautiful, multi-coloured (and ornamented) royal
tunic made for his son Yusef. But after giving him this very special gift,
his brothers hated Yusef even more, because they saw how much their
father loved and favoured him, so they treated him harshly and had
nothing but cruel, horrible things to say to him. (AMAZING GIFTS LIKE THIS
WERE TRADITIONALLY ONLY GIVEN TO THE FIRSTBORN SON, BUT DUE TO
THE BEHAVIOUR OF HIS OLDER SONS, YAQUB HAD NO FAVOUR FOR THEM).

One night Yusef had a dream, and in the morning he came to his brothers
saying, “Check out this wild dream I had last night guys. We were out
in the field, tying up all the sheaves of grain and suddenly my bundle
stood up and then all your bundles all gathered around and bowed
down before mine and worshipped it!” And when his brother’s heard this
they despised Yusef even more because of the dream (and the way he
spoke about them) and they wouldn’t let him ‘have it’ inside themselves,
saying to him, “So you think you’re gunna be our king, do you? You really
think you’re better than us and will reign over us, you fool?” Soon Yusef
had another dream, and once again he told his brothers about it. “Hey
dudes, I had another dream last night. The sun, moon, and eleven stars
bowed down to worship me!” (YUSEF HAD ELEVEN BROTHERS)

BARASHITH. 37 89.
And this time he told his father also about the dream, but his father
rebuked him, “What kind of dream is that? Will your mothers and I and
all your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before
you? What nonsense!” However while his brothers dismissed the dreams
as `stuck-up ramblings’ and were hatefully jealous of Yusef, his father
Yisharal held onto them in his mind and actually wondered what the
dreams might mean.

Not long after this, Yusef’s brothers went out to feed their father’s flocks
at Shekem. But when they had been gone for some time, Yisharal said
to Yusef, “Your brothers are out feeding the sheep at Shekem. Quick! Get
ready, and I’ll send you out to them.” “Ok Dad, I’m ready to go,” Yusef
replied. “Go and see how your brothers and the flocks are doing, then
come back and tell me.” So Yisharal sent him out and Yusef travelled
about 80km to Shekem from their home in the valley of Kebron.

When he arrived there, a man from the area noticed him wandering
around the countryside. “What’s up bro?” He asked. “I’m looking for my
brothers, they’re feeding my father’s sheep, do you know where they
are?”, Yusef replied. “Yes,” the man told him. “They have moved further on
from here, but I overheard them saying they were heading for Dotham”.
So Yusef followed his brothers to Dotham and found them there. But
when Yusef’s brothers saw him approaching, they recognised him in the
distance and their seething hatred flared up. And as he approached, they
made plans to kill him. “Look, here comes our annoying ass-hat brother,
the dreamer. Let’s kill him and throw him into a hole and we’ll finally
be rid of him. We’ll just tell our father that a savage animal has eaten
him. Then we’ll see what happens to his stuck-up dreams!” But when
Rauben (the oldest son) heard of their murderous scheme, he came to
Yusef’s defence, “Why bother killing him and shedding his blood? Let’s
just throw him into this deep pit, and out here in the wilderness he’ll
just die without us having to do anything.” (RAUBEN HAD RECENTLY CAUSED
ENOUGH DRAMA WITH HIS FATHER AND WAS SECRETLY PLANNING TO RESCUE YUSEF).

And before Yusef arrived, Rauben left his brothers for a short time to
see about a matter, and when Yusef greeted them, the first thing his
brothers did was assault him and rip off the beautiful coloured robe he
was wearing, before grabbing him violently and throwing him into the
deep pit (for it was empty with no water, only snakes and scorpions).

BARASHITH. 37 90.
And Yusef cried out and wailed for help, getting more and more
distressed, and afraid of the snakes and scorpions, but his brothers
wouldn’t answer him and moved away from the sound of his weeping.
Then, just as they were sitting down to eat, feeling quite good about
themselves, they saw a caravan of camels in the distance coming
towards them. It was a group of Yishmaalite traders taking a load of
spices, balms and myrrh from Gileed down to Egypt.

And Yahudah said to his brothers, “If we kill Yusef, we’ll just have to
cover up the crime and we’ll gain nothing. So instead of hurting him,
let’s pawn him off to those Yishmaalite terrorists. After all, he’s still our
brother, our own flesh and blood!” And his brothers agreed. So when the
Yishmaalites (who were Midyanite traders and a violent people) came
by, Yusef’s brothers pulled him out of the pit and sold him for twenty
pieces of silver. And the traders took Yusef to Egypt.

Not long after, Rauben returned to the pit to rescue Yusef and when he
discovered that he was gone, he panicked and tore his clothes in grief.
Then he found his brothers and cried, “What the hell have you done?
The boy is gone! What will I do? Where can I go? I’m the oldest. He was
my responsibility. What will our father do to me?”

Then the devious brothers thought it nothing to kill one of their father’s
young goats (that they were suppose to be looking after) and dip
Yusef’s colourful coat in its blood. Then they returned home and took
the beautiful coat (all ripped and bloody) to their father, saying “Look
what we found out in the field. Doesn’t this robe belong to Yusef?” And
Yisharal went pale, recognising it immediately, “Yes it’s my son’s robe.
A wild animal must have eaten him”. And Yisharal tore his clothes and
wept bitterly. “My wonderful Yusef has been torn to pieces!” And seeing
their father wailing unstoppably the brothers wept also and a wave of
thick grief came over the whole household. And Yisharal fell down to
the ground as still as a stone in shock and Yahudah nursed his father’s
head as tears gushed down Yisharal’s face. Yisharal wore sackcloth on
his waist and mourned deeply for his son for a very long time. His family
all tried to support and love him, but he refused to be comforted. “I will
go to my grave missing and longing for my son,” he’d say, and then he
would burst into tears again.

BARASHITH. 37 91.
YAHUDAH AND TAMAR
Around this time, Yahudah left home and, moving to Adullamite he saw
a Kenanite woman and, disregarding the instruction of his father (to not
inter-marry with the surrounding ‘NATIONS’ but to keep the bloodline clean)
he married her, and she became pregnant, giving birth to a son, and he
named the boy Er. Then she became pregnant again and gave birth to
another son, Aunan. And when she gave birth to a third son, she named
him Shelah. (ALL 3 BOYS WERE BORN OUTSIDE THE CLEAN `HEBREW’
BLOODLINE AND UNABLE TO CARRY ON THE LINE OF COVENANT PROMISE).

And in the course of time, Yahudah arranged for his firstborn son Er,
to marry a young woman named Tamar. But Er was a wicked man in
the eyes of YAHUSHA, so much so that YAHUSHA snuffed him out
(killed him). Then Yahudah said to Er’s brother Aunan, “Please go and
marry Tamar, your brother’s wife, as our law requires (of the brother of a
man who has died). You must give your brother a descendant so he can
share a double portion of his firstborn inheritance.” But Aunan was cold-
hearted and selfish and not willing to give his dead brother an heir (who
would take a big chunk of the inheritance). So he reluctantly agreed to
have sex with Tamar (his deceased brother’s wife), but whenever he
did, he pulled out and spilled his semen (his seed) on the ground. This
prevented her from having a child who would belong to his brother. And
YAHUSHA saw Aunan’s wicked heart (denying his dead brother’s wife
a child) and his evil behaviour of spilling his seed (masturbating) and
YAHUSHA wiped out Aunan too (killed him).

Then Yahudah said to Tamar (his daughter-in-law), “Go back to your

parents’ home and remain a widow until my son Shelah is old enough to
marry you.” (But Yahudah had no intention of giving Tamar his youngest
son, because he was afraid Shelah might die too, like his two older brothers.
So Tamar went back to live in her father’s home. And some years later
Yahudah’s wife died. And after the time of mourning was over, Yahudah
and his friend Kirah went up to Timnah to supervise the shearing of his
sheep. And someone told Tamar, “Look, your father-in-law is going up
to Timnah to shear his sheep.” And Tamar was fully aware that Shelah
(Yahudah’s youngest son who he had promised to her) was fully grown
up, but still no arrangements had been made (by Yahudah) for him to

BARASHITH. 38 92.
come and marry her and give her a son. So she decided to take matters
into her own hands, changing out of her widow’s clothing and covering
herself with a veil (burka - the veil of a common prostitute) to disguise
herself. Then she sat beside the road at the entrance to the village of
Enayim, which is on the road to Timnah. And Yahudah noticed her and
thought she was a common whore, since she had covered her face. So
he stopped and made her an offer, “Let me have sex with you,” he said
(not realizing that she was his own daughter-in-law!)
“For how much?” Tamar asked.
“I’ll send you a young goat from my flock,” Yahudah promised her.
“How do I know you’ll actually send the goat?”
“What kind of guarantee do you want?”
“Leave me your identification seal and its cord and the walking stick you
are carrying.” So Yahudah gave them to her. Then he had sex with her,
and she became pregnant (just as she had hoped). Afterward she went
back home, took off her veil, and put on her widow’s clothing as usual.
WHILE YAHUSHA HATES ALL WHORING, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ‘CULTIC’ AND ‘COMMON’ PROSTITUTION IN SCRIPTURE. “CULTIC
PROSTITUTION” IS PERFORMING A SEXUAL ACT AT A PAGAN TEMPLE IN THE
WORSHIP OF A DEITY AND IS CONSIDERED WICKED IDOLATRY TO YAHUSHA.

Later Yahudah asked his friend Kirah the Adullamite to take the young
goat to the woman he had just slept with and to get back the things he
had given her as his guarantee. But Kirah couldn’t find her. So he asked
the men who lived there, “Where can I find the cult prostitute who was
sitting beside the road at the entrance to Enayim?” “We’ve never had a
cultic prostitute here,” they replied. So Kirah returned to Yahudah and
told him, “I couldn’t find her anywhere, and the men of the village recon
they’ve never had a cult prostitute there.” “Then let her keep the things
I gave her,” Yahudah said. “I sent the young goat as we agreed, we’ll be
a laughing-stock in the village if we went back again looking for her.”
About three months later, Yahudah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-
law, has fallen pregnant by whoring like a prostitute.” “Bring her out, and
let her be burned for her adultery, for she is still bound to this family!”
Yahudah demanded. But as they were taking her out to kill her, she
sent this message to her father-in-law: “The man who owns these things
made me pregnant. Look closely old man, whose seal and cord and
walking stick are these?” And Yahudah recognized them immediately
and said, “I understand why she did all this to me now, because I broke

BARASHITH. 38 93.
my promise and never arranged for her to marry my son Shelah.” And
Yahudah wept and repented, acknowledging that he’d gone astray by
his disgraceful behaviour of sleeping with his daughter-in-law, and he
never slept with Tamar again but turned from his ignorance. And when
the time came for Tamar to give birth, it was discovered that she was
carrying twins. And while she was in labor, one of the babies reached
out his hand and the midwife grabbed it and tied a scarlet string around
the child’s wrist, announcing, “This one is coming out first.” But then he
pulled his hand back in, and his brother came out instead! “What? How
did you push past and break through first?” The midwife exclaimed. So
he was named Parets (‘breaking out’). Then the baby with the scarlet string
on his wrist was born, and he was named Zerak (‘scarlet’).
DESPITE YAHUDAH’S DISREGARD FOR THE CLEAN BLOODLINE OF HIS FATHERS,
YAHUSHA SNEAKILY MAINTAINED PURITY THROUGH TAMAR, FOR THOUGH
YAHUDAH’S 3 BOYS WERE UNCLEAN HALF-BREEDS, TAMAR WAS A DIRECT
DESCENDANT OF SHEM (THE COVENANT LINE OF PROMISE), SO BY TAMAR
STICKING TO THE TRUTH (OF THE PROMISES GIVEN TO HER), HER SON PARETS
CONTINUED THE CLEAN, UNPOLLUTED BLOODLINE FROM NOAK, WHICH PASSED
THROUGH ABRAHAM, YITSHAQ AND YAQUB. THIS IS THE ROYAL BLOODLINE
FROM WHICH KING DAUD (DAVID) AND MESSIAH YAHUSHA WAS BORN.

Just before Yaqub was reunited YAQUB YISHARAL

with his brother Esu he met two
messengers of Yahusha and
called that place ‘Makanayim’
(meaning ‘Two Houses’) which
was very prophetic because two
very distinct groups ZILPAH

YUSEF IN EGYPT
Yusef was taken to Egypt by Yishmaalite traders, and he was sold to
Putifar, who was an officer of the Pharaoh himself (the King of Egypt)
and also the captain of the palace guard. A few decades before this, the
Egyptians (descendants of Noak’s cursed son Ham) had been invaded
and conquered by ‘Shemites’ (desert-dwelling Asian descendants of
Noak’s son Shem), making the current Egyptian Dynasty ‘tribal cousins’
of Yisharal’s family (hebrews - also descendants of Shem). So the Pharaoh
sitting on the throne of Egypt wasn’t even Egyptian (but Putifar was!)

And YAHUSHA WAS WITH YUSEF, allowing him to succeed in everything

he did while serving in the house of his new master. And even Putifar
noticed how everything seemed to flow smoothly and work successfully
for Yusef in all his dealings within the house and this pleased him alot.
And knowing he could trust in Yusef’s steadfast behaviour, he promoted
Yusef to the chief-servant over all his household, so that he personally
managed and oversaw every duty within all his properties. And as soon
as this happened, YAHUSHA began blessing Putifar too. His crops and
livestock flourished, and all the household affairs ran uber-smoothly,
so finally Putifar gave Yusef complete responsibility and rule over
everything he owned because (with Yusef around), he didn’t have to
worry about anything, not even the food he ate!

Now Yusef was ‘very easy on the eyes’, tall, dark, handsome and very
well-built and Putifar’s wife began flirting with him and looking at him
with eyes full of lust. One day she approached him seductively, battering
her eyelids, “Yusef, come into my chamber,” she whispered in his ear.
But Yusef refused and continued on with his work. So she tried again
the next day a little stronger, “I want you to come lay with me, I promise
you’ll like it“, but he turned and said, “Look, how could I do such a wicked
thing? My master trusts me with everything in his entire household and
no one has more authority here than me. He has held nothing back from
me except you, because you are his wife. It would be a great evil in the
eyes of my Alahim.” But she kept pressuring him day in and day out,
but he refused to have sex with her, and began avoiding her as much
as possible. One day however, when no one was around, she came and
grabbed him by his loin-cloth, demanding . . .

BARASHITH. 39 95.
“Come on honey, come and sleep with
me, no one will ever know I promise!”
And Yusef tore himself away from
her but he left his loin-cloth in her
hand as he ran from the house. So
after being completely rejected and
seeing that she was still holding his
loin-cloth, Putifar’s wife screamed
out loudly causing all the servants of
the house to come running. “LOOK!”
She cried. “MY HUSBAND HAS
BROUGHT THIS HEBREW SLAVE
HERE TO HUMILIATE US ALL. YUSEF
CAME INTO MY ROOM TO RAPE
ME, BUT WHEN HE HEARD ME SCREAM, HE RAN OUTSIDE AND GOT
AWAY, BUT I GRABBED HIS LOIN-CLOTH.....LOOK HERE.” And she kept
the loin-cloth with her until her husband Putifar returned home. Then
she told him her sneaky lie, “That Hebrew slave you brought into our
home attacked me today and tried to have his way with me. But when
I screamed, he ran outside, leaving his loin-cloth here with me! It’s bad
enough that these hideous people rule over us but why did you have to
bring one into our home?” And after Putifar heard his wife slandering
Yusef’s character, he knew she was lying and he spared Yusef’s life.
However because of his political position he needed to save face, so he
seized Yusef and threw him into the prison where the king’s prisoners
were held, and there Yusef stayed.

But YAHUSHA was with Yusef in the prison and allowed him to feel
His loving-kindness. He also gave him favor with the prison-warden and
before long, the warden put Yusef in charge of all the other prisoners
and gave him authority over everything that happened in the prison.
And because of Yusef’s hard work and trustworthy behaviour, the
warden had no more worries, because Yusef looked after everything.
And despite being betrayed and sold into slavery, Yusef’s active belief in
YAHUSHA’S principles (that he’d been taught by his father) allowed him
to be ‘cool, calm and collected’ and handle everything well in the prison,
and YAHUSHA caused everything he did to prosper and succeed.

BARASHITH. 39 96.
YUSEF THE DREAM WHISPERER
And some time later, the Pharaoh’s Chief Cup-Bearer (THE SERVANT
WHO OFTEN SWALLOWED SOME OF THE KING’S WINE BEFORE SERVING
IT TO GUARD AGAINST HIM BEING POISONED) and the Pharaoh’s Master-
Chef both offended him and in his fury, he threw them in the prison
where Yusef was and they were in there for quite some time, and the
Captain of the Guard assigned Yusef to look after them. One night the
Cup-Bearer and Master-Chef both had dreams and when Yusef saw
them the next morning he noticed that they both looked very upset, so
he asked them, “Why the long face fellas, what’s up?” And they replied,
“We both had dreams last night that freaked us out and no one can tell
us what they mean.” And Yusef didn’t even flinch, “Just chill guys, my
Alahim Yahuah can help you with that . . . tell me your dreams.”

So the Chief Cup-bearer told Yusef his dream first. “In my dream I saw
a grapevine in front of me which had three branches that began to bud
and blossom, and soon it produced clusters of ripe juicy grapes. I was
holding the Pharaoh’s wine cup in my hand, so I took some grapes and
squeezed the juice into his cup. Then I placed the cup into the Pharaoh’s
hand”. And with the wisdom of YAHUSHA in him, Yusef said, “This is what
the dream means. The three branches represent three days. So in three
days you’ll be out of here mate, with your job back, as the Pharaoh’s Chief
Cup-Bearer. So when you get the chance, would you do me a favor and
name-drop me to the Pharaoh, so I can get outta here too? You see I was
kidnapped from my home and my family, back in the land of the Hebrews,
and now I’m here in this dungeon, but I did nothing to deserve it.”

And when the Master-Chef saw that Yusef had given the first dream
such a positive spin, he said to Yusef, “I had a dream too and there were
three baskets of amazing white pastries all stacked on my head. And all
the pastries in the top basket were for the Pharaoh, but the birds came
along and ate everything from the basket on my head.” And Yusef said
“The three baskets also represent three days because in three days the
Pharaoh will lift you up and impale your body on a stake. Then the birds
will come and peck away at your flesh.”

Three days later it was the Pharaoh’s birthday and he prepared a

banquet in his honor for all his officials. And he brought his Chief Cup-

BARASHITH. 40 97.
Bearer and his Master-Chef to stand before his guests. Then he gave
the Chief Cup-Bearer his job back, so he could hand the Pharaoh his
cup again. But Pharaoh had the Master-Chef impaled, just as Yusef had
predicted when he interpreted his dream. But after this event, the Chief
Cup-Bearer went straight back to work and forgot all about Yusef and
never said anything to the Pharaoh for two whole years.

So Yusef worked in the prison for two years, then one night the Pharaoh
dreamed that he was standing on the bank of the Nile River and he saw
seven fat, healthy cows come up out of the river and begin grazing in the
swamp grass. Then he saw seven more cows come up behind them from
the Nile, but these were sickly, scrawny, thin cows. Then the scrawny,
thin cows ate the seven healthy, fat cows! And at this point in the dream,
the Pharaoh woke up in a hot sweat. But falling asleep again, he saw
seven heads of grain, plump and beautiful, growing on a single stalk.
Then seven more heads of grain appeared, but these were shrivelled
up and withered by the east wind. And these thin-heads swallowed up
the seven plump, well-formed heads! Then Pharaoh woke up again and
realised it was all a dream.

The next morning he was very disturbed by the dreams, so he called

for all the magicians, diviners and wise men of Egypt and when he told
them his dreams, none of them could tell him what they meant. So finally,
the king’s Chief Cup-Bearer spoke up and said. “I’VE SCREWED UP BIG
TIME O’ GREAT PHARAOH. A couple of years ago, you imprisoned me in
the palace of the Captain of the Guard. And one night your old Master-
Chef and I both had dreams, and there was a young Hebrew man with
us who interpreted our dreams. And everything happened just as he had
predicted for I was restored to my position as your Cup-Bearer, and the
Maser-Chef was executed and impaled on a stake......And I completely
forgot about him, until today!”

So the Pharaoh sent for Yusef at once, and he was quickly brought from
the prison. And after he shaved, changed his clothes and was made to
look royally presentable, he went in and stood before the Pharaoh. Then
the Pharaoh said to Yusef, “I had a dream last night, and no one here can
tell me what it means, but I’ve heard that you can interpret them.” And
Yusef said, “It is way beyond my power to do this, however my Alahim

BARASHITH. 41 98.
Yahuah can put your mind at ease no problems.” So the Pharaoh told Yusef
his dreams about the thin cows eating the fat cows and the withered up
heads of grains devouring the plump heads, and Yusef responded. “Both
of the Pharaoh’s dreams mean the same thing. Yahuah is telling you in
advance of what He is about to do. The seven healthy cows and the seven
healthy heads of grain both represent seven years of prosperity, while
the seven thin, scrawny cows that came up later and the seven thin heads
of grain, withered by the east wind, represent seven years of famine.
And this will definitely go down as you have seen it because Yahuah is
telling you right now what He’s going to do. The next seven years will be
a period of great prosperity throughout the land of Egypt, but afterward
there will be seven years of famine and such scarcity of food that all the
good years of fat abundance will be nothing but a distant memory, for
it will destroy all the land. Now great Pharaoh you’ve practically had the
same dream twice now which means Yahuah my Alahim is telling you
THIS IS REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN. So you should find an intelligent,
wise man and put him in charge of the entire land of Egypt, appointing
supervisors over the whole land and get them to collect one-fifth of all
the crops during the seven good years and have them gather all the food
from those good years and bring it to your storehouses. Store it away, and
guard it so there will be food in the cities. Then there will be enough to eat
when the seven years of famine come to the land of Egypt. Otherwise this
famine will destroy this whole land.”

And the Pharaoh was so relieved by Yusef’s interpretation and

suggestions and he rejoiced, saying to his officials, “Have you ever seen
anyone else so clearly gifted with intelligence and wisdom around here?”

YUSEF THE GOVERNOR OF EGYPT

Then the Pharaoh said to Yusef, “Since your Alahim has revealed
the meaning of these dreams to you, there is clearly no one else as
intelligent or wise as you. So you will be in charge of my court, and all
my people will bow down and take orders from you. And the only one
higher than you in this land will be me for I officially put you in charge of
the entire land of Egypt.” Then the Pharaoh removed his royal seal-ring
from his hand and placed it on Yusef’s finger, dressed him in fine linen
clothing, hung a gold chain around his neck, and had him ride in the

BARASHITH. 41 99.
chariot reserved only for his second-in-command. And wherever Yusef
went, the command was shouted, “KNEEL DOWN!”

Yes, the Pharaoh put a young hebrew slave, a man broken and sticking
to his belief (in the only living Alahim), in charge of the entire nation
of Egypt, saying to him, “I am the Pharaoh, and no one will lift a hand or
foot in the entire land of Egypt without your approval. And Yusef, your
title will now be Zaphnath-Paneah (‘lifesaver of the world’ in Egyptian)”.

He also gave Yusef a wife, whose name was Asenath. She was the
daughter of Poti-Fera, the priest of the temple at On (dedicated to the
worship of their national sun-deity `Ra’). POTI-FERA AND HIS DAUGHTER WERE
NOT EGYPTIANS (FROM THE CURSED BLOODLINE OF HAM), BUT FROM
THE SHEMITES (DESCENDANTS OF SHEM) WHO WERE CURRENTLY RULING
EGYPT, WHICH IS WHY YAHUSHA ALLOWED THIS UNION. So Yusef took
charge of the entire land of Egypt and he was thirty years old when he
stood in the court of the Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And when Yusef left
the Pharaoh’s Court, he set out and inspected the entire land of Egypt.

And as predicted, the land produced uber-massive crops for seven years
and during those years, Yusef had all the workers gather all the crops
grown in Egypt and store all the grain from the surrounding fields in
the cities, piling up huge amounts of grain like sand on the seashore.
And eventually he stopped keeping records because there was way too
much to measure. And during this time (before the famine years) two
sons were born to Yusef and his wife, Asenath and Yusef named their
older son Menasheh (meaning ‘to forget’), for he said, “Yahuah has made me
forget all about my torturous hardships and about everyone in my father’s
house.” And Yusef named his second son Afrayim (meaning ‘fruitful’) for he
said, “Yahuah has made me fruitful in this land of my torture and grief.”

And finally the seven years of wealth and prosperity in the land of Egypt
came to an end and the seven years of famine began, just as Yusef
said it would. The famine also struck all the surrounding countries, but
throughout Egypt there was plenty of food. But eventually, even the
land of Egypt was hit with the scarcity of food. And when the people
cried out to the Pharaoh for food, (he really didn’t care much for the
Egyptian people he’d conquered) he told them . . .

BARASHITH. 41 100.
“Go and see Yusef, and do whatever he says.” So with severe famine
everywhere, Yusef opened up the storehouses and gave out grain to
the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout all the world and
finally people came from far and wide, to Egypt to buy grain from Yusef.

YUSEF’S BROTHERS COME TO EGYPT

When Yaqub (now Yisharal) heard that grain was available in Egypt,
he said to his sons, “Why are you all standing around looking at each
another? Egypt has an abundance of grain, so go down there and buy
enough to keep us alive, otherwise we’re not gunna make it.” So Yusef’s
ten older brothers went down to Egypt to buy grain, but Yisharal
wouldn’t let them take Benyamin (Yusef’s younger brother and Rakel’s
only “surviving” son) with them, for he was afraid that something terrible
might happen to him (as it did Yusef). So Yisharal’s ten sons arrived in
Egypt along with others from their clans to buy food, for the famine was
intense in Kenan also.

And since Yusef was the Governor of all Egypt and in charge of selling
grain to all the people, his brothers had to go directly to him. And when
they arrived, they bowed down before Yusef with their faces to the dirt
and Yusef recognised his brothers instantly, but he pretended to be a
stranger, speaking loud and harshly to them. “WHERE ARE YOU FROM?”
He demanded. “From the land of Kenan” they replied. “We have come
to buy grain.” And even though Yusef looked at his brothers, they didn’t
recognise him for his demeanor was that of royalty, he was much older
(deeper voice than the wacky teenager they knew) and he was dressed
in official Egyptian garb (clean shaven, cosmetics etc).

Yusef’s brothers didn’t recognise him! EVEN THOUGH EGYPTIANS HAD

MUCH DARKER SKIN THAN HEBREWS
THE WHOLE WORLD WAS AWARE
OF EGYPT’S POLITICAL CLIMATE
(BEING CONQUERED BY SHEMITES),
SO YUSEF BEING A RULER WITH
SLIGHTLY LIGHTER SKIN WOULD
NOT HAVE BEEN SUSPICIOUS TO HIS
HEBREW EGYPTIAN BROTHERS.

BARASHITH. 42 101.
And, remembering the dreams he’d had about them many years before,
he wondered whether they had treated Benyamin (his only other brother
from Rakel) as harshly as they had him. It was time to test them. “YOU
ARE SPIES! YOU HAVE COME TO SEE HOW NAKED AND VULNERABLE
OUR LAND HAS BECOME.” “No Master!” They exclaimed. “Your servants
have simply come to buy food. We’re all brothers, trustworthy men and
all the sons of one man. We are definitely not spies!”
“YES, YOU ARE!” Yusef insisted. “YOU’VE COME TO SEE HOW HELPLESS
AND POWERLESS WE ARE!” “No Master!” They pleaded, “There are
actually twelve of us. We, your servants, are all brothers, sons of a man living
in the land of Kenan. Our youngest brother is back there with our father
right now, and our other brother died.” But Yusef insisted, “WHATEVER!!
AS I SAID, YOU ARE SPIES! But we’ll soon see if you’re telling the truth
or not. By the power of the Pharaoh, you’re not leaving Egypt until your
youngest brother comes here to me! One of you must go and get him and
I’ll keep the rest of you here in prison. Then we’ll see if your story is true!”

So Yusef put them all in prison for three days and on the third day
he said to them, “If you do as I say, you’ll live, for I fear Alahim too, so
if you’re really SO HONEST, choose one of your brothers to remain in
prison and the rest of you can go home with grain for your starving
families. But you must bring your youngest brother back to me and this
will prove that you’re telling me the truth, and then you won’t die.” And
completely terrified, they gathered together, saying, “Clearly we are
being punished because of what we did to Yusef years ago. We saw
how petrified and distressed he was when he pleaded for his life, but we
didn’t care. Now the same thing is happening to us!” “Didn’t I tell you not
to do such an evil thing to the boy?” Rauben said. “But you wouldn’t
listen. And now his blood is on us!” (Of course, they didn’t know that
Yusef understood them, for he had been speaking to them in egyptian,
through an interpreter).

And hearing their distressed words of repentance (they’d been living

with this guilt for 13 years) Yusef turned aside from them and began to
weep for he saw that their hearts had changed. But when he regained
his composure, he spoke to them again, choosing Shimeun to tie up,
right before their eyes. Then Yusef ordered his servants to fill the men’s

BARASHITH. 42 102.
sacks with grain, but he also gave secret instructions to return each
brother’s payment at the top of his sack. He also gave them supplies
for their journey home. So the brothers loaded their donkeys with the
grain and headed back to Kenan. But when they stopped for the night
and one of them opened his sack to get grain for his donkey, he found
his money in the top of his sack. “Guys, look at this!! My money has
been returned, it’s right here in my sack!” Then their hearts sank and,
trembling, and they said to each other, “What has Yahuah done to us?”

And when the brothers came to their father Yisharal, in the land of
Kenan, they told him everything that had happened to them and how
the Governor had demanded that they bring Benyamin back with them.
And Yisharal cried out, “YOU’RE RIPPING MY CHILDREN AWAY FROM
ME! YUSEF IS GONE! SHIMEUN IS GONE! AND NOW YOU WANT TO
TAKE BENYAMIN TOO. WILL NOTHING GO RIGHT FOR ME?”

Then Rauben said to his father, “You may kill my two sons if I don’t bring
Benyamin back to you. I’ll be responsible for him, and I promise I will
bring him back.” But Yisharal replied, “My son will not go down with you.
His brother Yusef is dead, and he is all I have left. If anything happened
to him on your journey, I would surely die of sorrow!”

But the famine continued to ravage the land of Kenan and when the
grain they had brought from Egypt was gone, Yisharal said to his sons,
“Go back and buy us some more food.” But Yahudah said, “Father, the
Governor was deadly serious when he told us to bring back Benyamin.
So if you’re not gunna let us take him, there’s no way we’re go’in back
there!” “WHY ON EARTH WERE YOU SO CRUEL TO ME, TELLING HIM
YOU HAD ANOTHER BROTHER?” Yisharal moaned. “The man kept
asking us questions about our family,” they replied. “He asked, ‘Is your
father still alive? Do you have another brother?’ So we answered his
questions. How could we know he would say, ‘Bring your brother here’?”

And Yahudah said to his father, “Send the boy with me, and we will be
on our way. Otherwise we’ll all die of starvation, I personally guarantee
his safety. You may hold me responsible if I don’t bring him back to you.
I will bear the blame forever. We could have been there and back twice
by now without all this stupid time-wasting!”

BARASHITH. 43 103.
So Yisharal finally said to them, “If it can’t be avoided, then at least do
this. Pack your bags with the best products of this land, take them down
to this man as gifts. Take balm, honey, spice, myrrh, nuts, and almond,
and take double the money that was put back in your sacks, as it was
probably someone’s screw-up. Then take your brother, and go back to
the man and may Al Shaddai (Almighty Alahim of the Mountain) Himself
give you favor as you go before the man, so that he will release Shimeun
and let Benyamin return. But if I must lose my children, so be it.”
YAHUDAH IS A VERY CHANGED MAN AFTER HIS BATTERING EXPERIENCES
OF DISOBEDIENCE. HE ALSO FEARS BEING `DISOWNED’ LIKE HIS OLDER
THREE BROTHERS (Rauben tried to steal the inheritance by sleeping with his
father’s servant-wife and Shimeun and Lui went on a murderous killing spree
after the rape of their sister Dinah). THIS IS WHY HE DECIDES IT’S TIME TO
STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, DO THE RIGHT THING AND START
BEHAVING & RESTORING HIS REPUTATION.

BENYAMIN GOES TO EGYPT

So the brothers packed Yisharal’s gifts and double the money and
headed off with Benyamin. They finally arrived in Egypt and presented
themselves to Yusef. And when Yusef saw his brother Benyamin with
them, he declared to the manager of his household, “These men will have
lunch with me today. Take them inside the palace. Then go slaughter an
animal, and prepare a big feast.” So the man did as Yusef told him and
took them into his palace. The brothers were completely terrified when
they saw that they were being taken into Yusef’s house. “It’s because of
the money someone put in our sacks last time we were here,” they said.
“He plans to set us up as thieves. Then he’ll seize us, make us slaves, and
take our donkeys.”

The brothers approached the Manager of Yusef’s household and spoke

to him at the entrance to the palace. “We came to Egypt once before
to buy food. But as we were returning home, we stopped for the night
and opened our sacks. Then we discovered that each man’s money was
still in the top of his sack! But we’ve brought it back with us. We also
have additional money to buy more food. We have no idea who put the
money back in our sacks.” ”Relax. Don’t worry,” the Household Manager
told them. “The Alahim of your father must have put this treasure into
your sacks. I know I received your payment.”

BARASHITH. 43 104.
Then he released Shimeun and brought him out to them. And the
manager then led the men into Yusef’s palace and gave them water to
wash their feet and provided food for their donkeys. The brothers were
told they would be eating there, so they prepared their gifts for Yusef’s
arrival at noon.

When Yusef came home, they gave him the gifts they had brought him,
then the 11 of them bowed down low to the ground before him. And
after greeting them, he asked, “How is your father, the old man you spoke
about? Is he still alive?” (it had been many months) “Yes,” they replied.
“Our father, your servant, is alive and well.” And they bowed low again.
Then Yusef looked at his brother Benyamin, the son of his own mother
Rakel. “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” Yusef
asked. “May Alahim show you favour my son.” Then Yusef rushed out of
the room because he was overcome with emotion for his brother and
went into his private room, where he broke down and wept. And after
washing his face, he came back out, composing himself. Then he ordered,
“BRING OUT THE FOOD!”

The waiters served Yusef at his own table, and his brothers were served
at a separate table. The Egyptians who ate with Yusef sat at their own
table, because the Egyptians despised the Hebrews, not only because of
the current dynasty that ruled over them but because the Egyptians were
`cattle people’ (ONE OF THEIR MAIN DEITIES ISIS WAS A BULL AND HIGHLY
REVERED) and Hebrews (like most shemite groups) were traditionally
‘sheep people’, so their very presence was an offense and under no
circumstances would they lower themselves to eat with ‘these uncouth
shepherds!’ Yusef told each of his brothers where to sit, and to their
amazement, he seated them according to age (from oldest to youngest).

And Yusef filled their plates with food from his own table, giving
Benyamin five times as much as he gave the others (this was the standard
treatment for royalty) to test his brother’s behaviour towards Benyamin
(would they become bitter and jealous of Benyamin as they were with
him years before? Were they really changed men after all these years?)
So they feasted and drank freely with him and Yusef watched them,
feeling love and compassion for them, but he knew he needed to test
their behaviour more before he made himself known.

BARASHITH. 43 105.
When his brothers were ready to leave, Yusef told his palace manager,
“Fill each of their sacks with as much grain as they can carry, and put
each man’s money back into his sack, then take my personal silver bowl
(a gift from the Pharaoh to Yusef for being a diviner/interpreter of dreams) and
put it at the top of the youngest brother’s sack, along with the money
for his grain.” So the manager did as Yusef instructed him. And the next
morning the brothers loaded their donkeys and left Egypt, but when
they had only gone a short distance (barely out of the city), Yusef said
to his palace manager, “Chase after them and stop them and when you
catch up with them, ask them, ‘Why have you done this despicable evil to
my master after he’s been so kind and generous to you? Why have you
stolen my master’s silver bowl, which he uses to interpret dreams and
predict the future? (THE PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS THE SILVER BOWL OF
DIVINATION THAT GAVE HIM HIS POWER, BUT YUSEF (OF COURSE) DIDN’T
NEED IT FOR IT WAS YAHUSHA WHO DID THE INTERPRETING).

And when the palace manager came thundering up behind Yusef’s

brothers, he spoke loudly and violently to them, everything he’d been
told. “What the hell are you talking about?” The brothers were freaking
out. They’d finally gotten free of Egypt and were breathing a sigh of
relief, and now this! “We are your humble servants and would never do
such a wicked thing! Didn’t we return all the money we found in our
sacks? We came all the way from the land of Kenan just to return it!
Why would we steal silver or gold from your master’s house? If you find
his silver diviners bowl with any one of us, let that man die and all the
rest of us, will be your slaves.” “That’s fair,” the manager replied. “But
only the one who stole the cup will become our slave. The rest of you
may go free.” They all quickly took their sacks from the backs of their
donkeys and hurriedly opened them up so the palace manager could
search their sacks, from the oldest to the youngest. And the silver bowl
was found in Benyamin’s sack! And when the brothers saw this, they
tore their clothing in absolute panic and despair. And in sheer terror
they loaded their donkeys again and returned to the city.

Yusef was still in his palace when Yahudah and his brothers arrived,
and they fell to the ground before him. “What have you done?” Yusef
demanded. “Don’t you know that a man like me can see the future?”

BARASHITH. 44 106.
And Yahudah (to Yusef’s surprise and delight) took responsibility for
his brothers, answering, “Oh, my Master, we are speechless? We can’t
explain this? What can we do to prove our innocence? Our Alahim is
punishing us for our wickedness, it must be. We have all returned to be
your slaves, all of us, not just our brother who had your bowl in his sack.”
“NO!” Yusef said. “I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING! ONLY THE MAN
WHO STOLE THE CUP WILL BE MY SLAVE. The rest of you may go back
to your father in peace.”

But Yahudah pleaded, “Please, my Master, let your servant say just one
thing to you. Please, do not be angry with me, even though you are as
powerful as the Pharaoh himself........but remember you asked us whether
we had a father or a brother?’ And we told you about our father who is
a very old man, and this boy Benyamin is the only son he has left from
his favourite wife who died giving birth to him. He is indeed very special
and our father loves him very very much. And you asked us to bring him
here so you can see him with your own eyes, otherwise we’d never see
your face again or get our brother Shimeun out of prison. But we told
you that the boy can’t leave our father, for if anything ever happened to
him our father would surely die of sadness. But we had run out of food
and our father told us to come back here. But before he let us take his
youngest son, our father reminded us of Yusef, his only other son from
his favourite wife, and how he went out and never returned for he was
torn to pieces by a wild animal. Our father has never been the same
since Yusef died, and he told us if anything should ever happen to this
boy Benyamin we would be responsible for sending him to his grave in
grief. And now, my Master, I cannot go back to my father without the
boy. Our father’s life depends on it. If he sees that the boy is not with us,
our father will die. We, his brothers will be responsible for sending that
grieving, white-haired man to his grave. Please my Master, I guaranteed
to my father that I would take care of the boy. I told him, ‘If I don’t bring
him back to you, I will bear the blame forever.’ So please let me stay here
as a slave instead of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers. For
how can I return to my father if the boy is not with me? I couldn’t bear
to see the anguish this would cause my father after everything he’s lost!”

BARASHITH. 44 107.
YUSEF’S BLOWS HIS COVER
And Yahudah’s words touched Yusef’s heart and he couldn’t stand it any
longer. He could see the distress of his brothers and knew that it was time
to move forward and get over the past. There were many people in the
room, and he said to them, “OUT, ALL OF YOU!” And when he was alone
with his brothers he said, “I am Yusef your brother!” And he broke down
and wept before them, crying so loudly that the Egyptians could hear
him outside, and word of it quickly carried to the Pharaoh’s palace.“Is
my father really still alive?” He said, but his brothers were speechless!
They were stunned to realize that Yusef was standing right there in front
of them. “Please, come closer to me,” he said to them, (for they were
standing a fair way away). So they came closer and he said again, “Look,
it’s me, Yusef, your brother, who you sold into slavery. But don’t be upset
anymore boys, and don’t be angry with yourselves. We were all so stupid
back then and Yahuah Himself planned all this, bringing me here to Egypt
ahead of you all to save our lives. This famine that has ravaged the land
for two years will last five more years, and there will be neither plowing
nor harvesting. So Yahuah has sent me ahead of you to keep you and all
our families alive and to preserve many survivors. Don’t you see it was
Yahuah Who sent me here, not you! And He is the One Who made me
an adviser to the Pharaoh himself and the manager of his entire Palace
and the Governor of all Egypt! How insane is that! Me? A Governor? Now
hurry back to our father and tell him that the Mighty Alahim he taught
me about years ago, Yahuah Almighty has made me master over all the
land of Egypt. Tell him to come down here to me immediately! And you
can all live here in Egypt with me and my family. There is plenty of room
out in the region of Goshen. You can all live out there and still be near
me with all your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and
everything you own. I will take care of you out there, for there are still
five more years of famine ahead of us. Otherwise you, your household,
and all your animals will starve. Go and tell my father this!”

But his brothers were still reeling in shock and bewilderment, so Yusef
added, “Look! You can all see that I’m really Yusef! Even Benyamin can
recognise me. So go tell my father of my position here in Egypt and tell
him everything you have seen, and then bring my father here quickly.”

BARASHITH. 45 108.
And weeping with great joy, he embraced Benyamin tightly, before
kissing each of his brothers and he wept over them, and after that they
all began to relax and talk freely with him again.

And this amazing news soon reached the Pharaoh’s palace, “Yusef’s
hebrew brothers are all here in Egypt!” And the Pharaoh was delighted
to hear this (he wasn’t hateful of the Hebrews as the Egyptians were)
and the Pharaoh said to Yusef, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you
must do: Load up your animals and hurry back to the land of Kenan.
Then get your father and all of your families, and return here to me. I
will give you the very best land in Egypt, and you will eat from the best
we have. But go quickly, take carts from the land of Egypt to carry your
little children and your wives, and bring your father right back here.
Don’t worry about all of your belongings, cause we’ve got the best stuff
right here in Egypt and it’s all yours.’”

So the sons of Yisharal did as they were told and Yusef provided them
with wagons, as the Pharaoh had commanded, for the journey. And he
gave each of them new clothes, but to Benyamin he gave five changes
of clothes and 300 pieces of silver (for he was his only brother from his
own mother). He also sent his father ten male donkeys loaded with the
finest products of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and
bread and other supplies he would need on his journey. And Yusef kissed
his brothers again and sent them off, and as they left, he called after
them, “Don’t fight about all this stuff along the way OK boys!” And they
left Egypt and returned to their father in the land of Kenan.

“YUSEF IS STILL ALIVE! .......YUSEF IS STILL ALIVE!” They cried to their

father upon arriving home to Kebron. “And he is the governor of all the
land of Egypt!” And Yisharal nearly fell over backwards, stunned at the
news and he couldn’t believe it. Had his sons been smoking some special
kind of Egyptian weed? But when the brothers told him everything
Yusef had said, and when Yisharal saw all the carts Yusef had sent to
carry him, their father’s spirits erupted with grand rejoicing.
“WOW!! How can this be? How amazing and awesome is Yahuah!!
MY SON YUSEF IS ALIVE! . . . . I must go and see him before I die.”

BARASHITH. 45 109.
YISHARAL AFRAID TO LEAVE KENAN
So Yisharal set out for Egypt with all his family and possessions, leaving
everything he knew and loved behind him and as they departed, he
remembered the words that had been given to his grandfather
Abraham about his family leaving the land that had been promised to
them for generations and being slaves in a land that is not their own,
and (despite the excitement of being reunited with is favourite son), Yisharal
was getting very distressed at the thought of leaving the protection
and influence of the promises given to him in this land, and he wasn’t
sure if YAHUSHA would look after him and bless him in another country.

So when he came to Barsheba, to the stone-table (altar) where YAHUSHA

had communicated to his grandfather Abraham and father Yitshaq
years before, Yisharal offered up sacrifices also, asking for guidance and
protection on this huge undertaking, which was happening so late in his
life. And during the night YAHUSHA came and spoke to him in a vision.
“Yaqub! Yaqub!” He called. “Yes I’m here,” Yisharal replied. “I am the
Alahim of your father, remember? Don’t stress or be afraid to go down
to Egypt, for I have prepared a very special place for all of your family
and they will become a great nation. I Myself Am going down with you
to Egypt, and I Myself will bring you back out again to this promised
land. You will die in Egypt, but your eyes will finally get to see your
darling son again.”

So Yisharal left Barsheba much more confident in YAHUSHA’S promises,

and his sons took him to Egypt, carrying him and their little ones and
their wives on the carts. And they also took all their livestock and all
the belongings they had acquired in the land of Kenan (his wealth,
possessions and people resembled a small city!) And Yisharal and
his entire family went to Egypt: sons and grandsons, daughters and
granddaughters, all his descendants and the total number of them was
around 200 people (70 men).

BARASHITH. 46 110.
YISHARAL REUNITED WITH HIS SON
And as they neared their destination, Yisharal sent Yahudah ahead to
meet Yusef and get directions to the region of Goshen. And when they
finally arrived there, Yusef prepared his royal chariot and travelled to
Goshen to meet his father. And when Yusef arrived, he embraced his
father and they both wept, holding each other for a very long time.

Finally, Yisharal said to Yusef, “Now I can die in peace, for I have finally
seen your face again and I know that you are alive and well.” And Yusef
said to his brothers and to his father’s entire family, “I will go to the
Pharaoh and tell him, that you’ve all come to be with me, from the land
of Kenan and that you are all shepherds who’ve brought your flocks and
herds and everything you own here. And when the Pharaoh calls on you
to confirm all this, that’s what you tell him OK? Then he’ll let you live
over here in the region of Goshen, away from all the general population,
because you know what the Egyptians are like - they despise our people
and can’t stand shepherds either. But this Pharaoh is different, he barely
tolerates the Egyptians and has been very kind to us”.

So Yusef went to see the Pharaoh and told him, “My father and my
brothers have arrived from the land of Kenan. They have come with all
their flocks and herds and possessions, and they are now in the region of
Goshen.” And Yusef presented five of his brothers to the Pharaoh, (5 is a
royal superstitious number for good luck) who asked “What is your occupation?”
And they replied, “We, your servants, are shepherds, just like our
ancestors and we have come to live here in Egypt for a while because
there is no pasture for our flocks in Kenan. The famine is very intense
there. So please, O` great Pharaoh we request permission to live in the
region of Goshen.” And the Pharaoh was happy for Yusef, saying, “How
wonderful to have your father and brothers here with us. Go! Choose
any place you want in the entire land of Egypt! Let them live wherever
they want! Give them the best land in Egypt. If they want Goshen, let
them live in Goshen. And if any of them have special skills, put them in
charge of my livestock too”. Then Yusef brought in his father, Yisharal,
and presented him to the Pharaoh and Yisharal spoke words of blessing
over the Pharaoh, who asked, “How old are you?” And Yisharal replied,

BARASHITH. 47 111.
“I have travelled this earth for 130 hard years. But my life has been short
compared to the lives of my ancestors.” Then Yisharal blessed the
Pharaoh again, thanking him for treating his son Yusef so well, then he
left his court. And Yusef assigned the best land of Egypt, (the region
of Rameses), to his father and his brothers, and he settled them there,
just as the Pharaoh had commanded, providing food for his father and
his brothers in amounts appropriate to the number of their dependants,
including the smallest children.

And the famine became so severe that all the food was used up, and
people were starving throughout the lands of Egypt and Kenan. The
reigning (shemite) Pharaoh couldn’t of cared less about the starving
Egyptians he had conquered. So by selling grain to the people, Yusef
eventually collected all the money in Egypt and Kenan, and he put the
money in the Pharaoh’s treasury. So when the people of Egypt and Kenan
ran out of money also, they all came to Yusef. “Our money is gone!” They
cried. “But please give us food, or we will die before your very eyes!” But
Yusef replied, “Since all your money is gone, bring me your livestock and
I’ll give you food in exchange for your livestock.” So they brought their
livestock, horses, flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and donkeys
to Yusef in exchange for another year of food. But after that year ended,
they came back again saying, “We cannot hide it any longer. Our money
is all gone, and all our livestock and cattle are yours too. We have nothing
left to give you but our bodies and our land. Please save us and don’t let
us die. Buy us and our land in exchange for food. We offer ourselves as
slaves for the Pharaoh. Just give us grain so we may live and not die, and
so the land does not become empty and desolate.”

So Yusef bought all the land of Egypt for the Pharaoh. All the Egyptians
sold him their fields because the famine was so severe, and soon all
the land belonged to the Pharaoh. And as for the people, Yusef made
them all slaves, from one end of Egypt to the other. A HEBREW MAN,
SOLD INTO EGYPT AS A SLAVE, BY TERRORISTS WAS NOW REDUCING THE
WHOLE NATION OF EGYPT TO SLAVERY! . . . . WOW!

TODAY THE WORD `SLAVERY’ SOUNDS VERY HARSH AND CRUEL, BUT IT WAS A
NORMAL PART OF LIFE IN ANCIENT TIMES AND THE SERVANTS WERE ACTUALLY
TREATED AND FED VERY WELL, ALMOST LIKE PART OF THE FAMILY (USUALLY!)

BARASHITH. 47 112.
The only land that Yusef did not buy was the land belonging to the
priests because they got food directly from the Pharaoh. Then Yusef
said to the people, “Look, today I’ve bought you and your land for the
Pharaoh. I will provide you with seed so you can plant the fields, then
when you harvest it, one-fifth of your crops will belong to the Pharaoh.
You may keep the remaining four-fifths as seed for your fields and as
food for you, your households, and your children.”

And the nation cried out to Yusef, “YOU HAVE SAVED OUR LIVES BY
LETTING US BE THE PHARAOH’S SERVANTS!” Yusef then issued a
decree (still in effect in the land of Egypt), that the Pharaoh should
receive one-fifth of all the crops grown on his land. Only the land
belonging to the priests was not given to the Pharaoh.

Meanwhile, Yaqub’s family (the people of Yisharal) had settled in the

region of Goshen (away from the main population of Egyptians) and there
they acquired property, and they were fruitful, and their populations grew
rapidly. And Yisharal lived for seventeen years after his arrival in Egypt,
making him 147 years old. And as the time of his death drew near, Yisharal
called for his son Yusef and said to him, “Please do me this favor. Put your
hand under my thigh ( on his circumcision - swearing an oath on the future generations
‘still in the testicles’ - TESTAMENT ) and swear that you will treat me kindly by
honoring this last request. Please do not bury me here among the nations,
but take me back to the land promised to me. Do you understand? When
I die, take my body out of Egypt and bury me with my ancestors please.”
“Of course I will father.” Yusef promised. “SWEAR IT!” Yisharal insisted. So
Yusef gave his oath, and Yisharal bowed humbly at the head of his bed.

THE FIRSTBORN BLESSING
Not long after this, word came to Yusef, “Your father is on his way out.”
So Yusef went to visit his father, and he took with him his two sons,
Menasheh and Afrayim. And when they arrived Yisharal was told, “Your
son Yusef has come to see you.” So Yisharal gathered his strength and
sat up in his bed, saying to Yusef “Yahuah Al Shaddai appeared to me
at Luz in the land of Kenan and blessed me, saying to me, ‘I will make
you fruitful, and I will multiply your descendants. I will make you an
ASSEMBLY OF NATIONS. And I will give this land of Kenan to your
descendants after you as an everlasting possession.” So now Yusef
I’m adopting these two boys of yours, Afrayim and Menasheh as my
own sons, just as Rauben and Shimeun are, and including them in the
promises given to me. But any children born to you in the future will be
yours, and they will inherit land within the territories of their brothers,
Afrayim and Menasheh. Long ago, as I was returning from Paddan Aram,
my beautiful Rakel died in the land of Kenan while we were still some
distance from Afrath (Beyth Lekem). So with great sorrow I buried her
there beside the road to Afrath.” Then Yisharal looked over at the two
boys. “Are these your sons?” he asked. “Yes,” Yusef told him, “These are
the sons Yahuah has given me here in Egypt.”

And Yisharal (who was almost blind by this stage) said, “Bring them
closer to me, so I can bless them.” So Yusef brought the boys close
to him, and Yisharal kissed them and embraced them, before saying
to Yusef, “I never thought I would ever see your face again, but now
Yahuah has even let me see your children too!” And Yusef moved the
boys, (who were at their grandfather’s knees), and he bowed with his
face to the ground. Then he positioned the boys in front of his father,
helping Yisharal by directing Afrayim toward Yisharal’s left hand, and
Menasheh towards his right.

(THE RIGHT HAND WAS THE HAND FOR THE FIRSTBORN BLESSING).

But at the last moment, Yisharal crossed his arms over as he reached
out to lay his hands on the boys’ heads, laying his right hand on the
head of Afrayim, though he was the younger boy, and his left hand on
the head of Menasheh, though he was actually the firstborn! Then he
blessed Yusef and said . . .

BARASHITH. 48 114.
“May Yahuah, the Alahim Who has fed me all my life and has been my
shepherd to this very day, the Alahim of my grandfather Abraham and
my father Yitshaq, Who has delivered me from all harm, may He bless
these boys, preserving my name and the names of Abraham and Yitshaq.
And may their descendants multiply greatly throughout the earth.”

But when Yusef looked up saw that his father had placed his right hand
on Afrayim’s head he was upset and went to move it from Afrayim’s head
to Menasheh’s head instead, saying, “No Dad, this one is the firstborn,
you’ve got your hands mixed up.” But Yisharal knew what he was doing
and refused. “It’s alright my son, I know, Menasheh will become a great
people too, but his younger brother will become even greater. And his
descendants will become THE COMPLETENESS OF THE NATIONS.” So
Yisharal blessed the boys that day with this blessing: “The people of
Yisharal will use your names (instead of Yusef’s) when they give a blessing,
saying ‘May Yahuah make you as prosperous and blessed as Afrayim and
Menasheh.’” And by saying this, Yisharal actually put Afrayim ahead of
Menasheh.

YAQUB HAD TWO LEGAL WIVES, SO HE ALSO HAD TWO FIRSTBORNS:

RAUBEN (FROM LEAH) AND YUSEF (FROM RAKEL). BUT SINCE RAUBEN
HAD SLEPT WITH HIS FATHER’S SERVANT-WIFE, HE’D BEEN DISOWNED,
LEAVING ONLY YUSEF TO INHERIT THE BIRTHRIGHT AND THE BLESSING.
BUT HERE YAQUB DIVIDES YUSEF’S FIRSTBORN INHERITANCE BETWEEN

AND GRAFT INTO THE NATION OF YISHARAL AND THE ETERNAL BLOOD-
COVENANT TAKING EQUAL IMPORTANCE WITH THE REST OF YAQUB’S
SONS, BUT LATER, AFRAYIM WOULD BECOME THE MOST POWERFUL OF
THE NORTHERN TRIBES.

Then Yisharal said to Yusef, “My wonderful boy, I am about to die, but
remember, Yahuah will always be with you and will take you back to
Kenan, to the land of our fathers. And aside from what I’m giving your
brothers, I am giving you an extra portion of the land, that I took from the
Amorites with my sword and bow.”

YISHARAL BLESSES HIS SONS

Then Yisharal called together all his sons and said, “Gather
EFRAYIM
around
MENASHEH
me
my sons. It’s time I told you what you can all expect in the future. Come
and listen, all you sons of Yaqub and listen to Yisharal your father.

Reuben, you were my firstborn, my strength, the son I had in my youth.

You were to be my right-hand, the first in all excellency and power. I
had such high hopes for you son, but your behaviour has always been
like boiling water, impatiently furious. YOU EVEN HAD SEX WITH MY
OWN WIFE WHILE I WAS AWAY, just to get a ‘leg-up’ on this inheritance
you wanted so badly. You hated me so much that you defiled my own
marriage bed and so here is your blessing my son: NOTHING!

Shimeun and Lui, you are both just as bad; always wanting to start a
fight and have bloodshed and I want nothing to do with your violent
behaviour. Infact I’m so happy I won’t have to be around to see your
ferocious cruelty or hear about who you’ve murdered in cold blood or
what animals you’ve injured for your own sick pleasures. I curse both of
you for your wicked vendettas and your fits of rage and both of you will
be swept away in a vicious storm and be scattered throughout the earth.

Yahudah, your brothers will praise you while you hold your enemies by
their throat. All of your brother’s descendants will bow down before you.
Yahudah my son, you are like a young LION that has finished killing its
prey. Yes, like a LION he crouches and lies down; and who dares mess
with this mighty king? The Royal Blood-Line will not depart from
Yahudah, nor the Ruler’s Instructions from his descendants, until the
Deliverer Himself comes, the One Who all nations will obey. He will
bear the burden of lawlessness on His back like a donkey and be tied as
a sacrifice to the vine-tree where the blood of the choicest rich grapes
will flow. And though their wickedness be red as scarlet, He, being
pressed like the darkest wine, shall cleanse them all whiter than milk.

BARASHITH. 49 116.
Zebulun, you will settle by the seashore and be a safe harbour for ships
and your borders will extend all the way to Tsidon.

Yissaskar, you are one tough, sturdy donkey, resting between two burdens
and when you see how good the countryside is and how pleasant the
land, you will incline your shoulders to the load and submit yourself to
hard slave labour.

Dan, you will rightly rule your people, like any other tribe of Yisharal,
but you will become a serpent beside the road, a poisonous viper along
the path that bites the horse’s hooves so its rider falls off. But I trust in
Yahuah for your deliverance.

Gad, you will be ambushed by savage warriors, but you will attack them
when they retreat like cowards.

Asher, you will dine on rich foods and produce recipes fit for the kings.

Naphtali, you are a deer set free that gives beautiful words of elegance.

Yusef, you are a fruitful tree beside a fountain with your branches reaching
over the walls. Savage archers will attack you, shooting and harassing
you. But your bow will remain strong, and your arms strengthened
by the hands of the Mighty One of Yaqub, by the Shepherd, the Rock
of Yisharal. May Yahuah the Alahim of your fathers help you; may the
Almighty bless you with the blessings from above, and blessings of the
watery depths below, and blessings of the breasts and womb. May my
fatherly blessings on you surpass the blessings of my ancestors, reaching
to the heights of the eternal hills. May these blessings rest on your head
Yusef, for though you were separated from them, you are now a prince
among your brothers.

Benyamin, you are a ravenous wolf, devouring your enemies in the

morning and dividing what’s left in the evening.”

These are the twelve tribes of Yisharal, and this is what their father said
as he said good-bye to his sons. He blessed (or cursed) each one with
a fitting message, speaking over all their futures, according to how they
behaved in their life within his family. Then Yisharal instructed them,

BARASHITH. 49 117.
“Soon I will die and join my father and grandfather. Please don’t forget to
bury me with them in the cave, in the field of Efron the Hittite. This is the
cave in the field of Makpelah, near Mamre in Kenan, that my grandfather
Abraham bought from Efron the Kittite as a permanent burial site. He
and his wife Sarah are buried there as well as my father Yitshaq and his
wife, Ribkah. And there I buried Leah”.

THE DEATH OF YAQUB (YISHARAL)

And when Yisharal had finished blessing and instructing his sons, he
drew his feet into the bed, breathed his last, and died. And Yusef threw
himself on his father and wept over him and kissed him. Then he told the
physicians who served him (not the pagan-temple priests) to embalm his
father’s body in order to preserve it for the long journey back to Kenan
(they didn’t want to carry a stinking corpse through the hot desert).
So Yisharal was embalmed (this process took the usual forty days and
the Egyptians mourned his death for seventy). When the period of
mourning was over, Yusef went up to the Pharaoh’s advisers and said,
“Please speak to the Pharaoh for me and tell him that my father made
me swear an oath saying, ‘Listen, I‘m about to die. Take my body back
to the land of Kenan and bury me in the tomb I prepared for myself.’ So
please allow me to go and bury my father. After his burial, I promise I will
return straight away.” And the Pharaoh agreed to Yusef’s request. “Go
and bury your father, as he made you promise,” he said.

So Yusef went up to bury his father. He was accompanied by all of the

Pharaoh’s officials, all the senior members of the Pharaoh’s household,
and all the senior officers of Egypt (PROBABLY TO MAKE SURE HE
RETURNED TO EGYPT AND DIDN’T DO A RUNNER!). And Yusef also took
his entire household and his brothers and their households too. But
they left their little children and flocks and herds in the land of Goshen.
A great number of chariots and horsemen accompanied Yusef. When
they arrived at the threshing floor of Atad, near the Yardan River, they
mourned seven-days for Yisharal. The local residents, (the Kenanites)
watched them mourning and renamed the place ‘Abel Mitsrim’, for they
said, “This is a place of grievous mourning for these Egyptians.”

BARASHITH. 50 118.
So Yisharal ’s sons did as he had commanded them, carrying his body
to the land of Kenan and buried him in the cave in the field of Makpelah,
near Mamre. This is the cave that Abraham had bought as a permanent
burial site from Efron the Kittite. And after burying Yisharal, Yusef
returned to Egypt with his brothers and all who had accompanied him
to his father’s burial.

But now that their father was dead, Yusef’s brothers became fearful.
“Now Yusef will show his anger and seek revenge for all the wrong we
did to him,” they said. So they sent this message to Yusef: “Before our
father died, he instructed us to tell you: ‘Please forgive your brothers for
the wrongs they did to you and for their evil in treating you so cruelly.’
So we, servants of the Alahim of our father, beg you to forgive us of our
wickedness.” And when Yusef received the message, he broke down
and wept. Then his brothers came and threw themselves down before
him. “Look, we are your slaves!” they said. But Yusef replied, “Please
don’t be afraid of me. Am I Yahuah, that can punish you? You wanted
to get rid of me, and I don’t blame you, for I was a little turd back then.
But Yahuah brought something amazing out of it all. He brought me to
this position so I could save the lives of many people. So please don’t be
afraid of me. I will continue to take care of you and your children.” and
he reassured them.

THE DEATH OF YUSEF

So Yusef and his brothers and their families continued to live in Egypt and
Yusef lived to the age of 110, seeing three generations of descendants
from his own son Afrayim, and he also lived to see the birth of the
children of Menasheh’s son Makir, whom he claimed as his own. “I’m
about to die,” Yusef told his brothers, “but Yahuah will surely come to
help you and lead you out of this land of Egypt. He will bring you back
to the land he solemnly promised to give to our fathers Abraham,
Yitshaq, and Yaqub.” Then Yusef made the sons of Yisharal swear an
oath, and he said, “When Yahuah comes to help you and lead you back
to His promised land of Kenan, you must take my bones with you.” So
Yusef died at the age of 110 and the Egyptians embalmed him and his
body was put in a coffin in Egypt.

ROYAL BLOODLINE MOST DOMINANT OF

 ENDNOTES
This book of Barashith has covered the first 2200+ years of human
history (from Adam to Yusef), and we see the creation of the earth and
how the nations were established. It all began with a perfect marriage
relationship in a safe, protected home. But from the moment the
enemy appeared and mankind chose to disobey, Yahusha was already
in `deliverance-mode’, raising up His Eternal-Blood-Covenant and
offering favour and protection for clean, obedient behaviour. Mankind’s
constant disobedience and hatred for Yahusha in breaking this Covenant-
Agreement, is why a ‘flesh and blood’ Messiah was needed to repair the
damage done to the Marriage Covenant by the enemy. But Yahusha had
to prepare men and women for His arrival first, and teach them once
again how to approach Him (behave).

So here in Barashith we see the beginnings of all His shadows and

teachings in the form of a Blood-Covenant. YAHUSHA NEVER MADE
DIFFERENT COVENANTS WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE. He was always
`renewing’ the same Blood-Covenant over and over to restore His
family, tweaking it here and there to remind the next generation about
His Instructions and behaviour until He Himself could arrive and display
some incredibly revolutionary behaviour.

In Barashith we also see a huge emphasis being put on genetic purity,

whether a person (or tribe) is from a clean bloodline (from Adam - then
Noak) or unclean and polluted (interbred with ‘the nations’ (guyim) or
fallen messengers). The difference between Yahusha’s chosen people
and ‘the nations’ always came down to obedient behaviour though:
those who guarded His promises and instructions, teaching it to their
households . . . . . . and those who refused to!

The earth in ancient times was full of savage violence, murder, and a
wicked lust for sexual perversion. But in the midst of this depravity (just
like today) Yahusha searches the planet for those who want Him and
will obey His Instructions of loving-kindness. These are His Bride (no
matter how few) who He will cherish and work alongside until the final
restoration of the marriage home is complete.

ENDNOTES 121.
The word ‘Hebrew’ (originally ‘Eber’) comes from the man Eber
(great-grandson of Shem, Noak’s son) and means (passing through).
Technically anyone from the line of Shem could be considered a Hebrew
person, however this `label’ didn’t come fully into vogue until Yahusha
renewed His Eternal-Blood-Covenant with Abraham (through their
circumcision). At this point, being a ‘hebrew’ person implied that you
were in the circumcised-covenant family of Abraham. The word Yisharal
(or Yisharalite) soon stepped into focus after Abraham, Yitshaq and
Yaqub died and Yahusha shifted the focus onto the next generations,
the 12 tribes of Yisharal. Today we understand that `Paleo Hebrew’ is the
original language that this whole planet spoke (until Babel) and there
are many nations (from the line of Noak) who still speak and hold onto
it’s authentic sounds.

YAHUSHA ONLY EVER MADE AN ETERNAL BLOOD COVENANT WITH

YISHARAL and NO ONE ELSE. However we saw many times in this book
how the foreigner or outsider (from the `gentile’ nations) was welcome
to partake of the Covenant Promises if they would put away their pagan
practices and idols, be grafted into Yisharal and walk in obedience. There
were instructions that needed to be obeyed and each individual had to
bear the ‘Sign of the Covenant’ in their flesh in order to be delivered, no
matter what bloodline they came from.

Lineage was important here in the beginning of the world, but

BEHAVIOUR WAS PARAMOUNT. The sign of the Eternal Blood
Covenant today (for anyone who will graft into the true vine of Yisharal)
is to rest on the 7th Day Shabath and those who choose to be obedient,
bear this sign in their BEHAVIOUR.

The idea of mankind needing to shed blood in order to be in relationship

with their Creator (firstly animal blood, then the blood from their
foreskins) finds complete fulfillment in the ultimate sacrifice made
by Yahusha, when he was born from the Royal Bloodline of Yahudah
(Yisharal’s son) and offered His perfect eternal blood as the final

ENDNOTES 122.
offering (not only covering mankind’s evil, but completely cleansing
and legally removing it from the picture), reconnecting the dimensions
once more and making available, the deep, personal connection (as was
in the Garden in Eden with the tree of life) to anyone who will repent
and return to His Instructions (the Ten Commandments are the wedding
vows of this Renewed Covenant Marriage).

Physical Circumcision (once required in order to be in the Eternal-Blood-

Covenant of Deliverance with Yahusha) is no longer required in our
flesh, for we are indeed washed clean by His shed blood and upon our
Immersion in water (the sign of a good conscience) YAHUSHA HIMSELF
CIRCUMCISES OUR HEARTS WITH A LOVE FOR HIS INSTRUCTIONS, giving
us the power to live by them in obedience through His Set-Apart Spirit.

Just as the men in Scripture often had their names changed after
enduring a testing experience with Yahusha, (which symbolised a fresh
start or a death and resurrection), today those who are willing to be
tested, trained and die to themselves will experience true deliverance
in overcoming and will be forever changed, with different, set-apart
behaviour to those around them.

Yahusha has a plan and will execute it in His appointed times which
only He knows. By listening to the enemy in disobedience, satisfying the
flesh or even trying to speed up Yahusha’s timeline to get things done
themselves, we saw many people go through horrendous consequences
with resulting chaos, and they needed more time in the wilderness
of separation, testing and learning, until they were stripped of their
confidence, ego, agenda and they learnt to rely and flow with Yahusha.

Considering none of these men in Barashith had Yahusha’s Spirit living

inside them, (as is available today) Noak, Kanok, Abraham, Yitshaq,
Yaqub and Yusef simply had to listen when they heard Yahusha’s Voice
and they chose to follow, behaving obediently. And because of their
belief, their lives were forever changed, and they became our `patriarchs
in the belief’.

ENDNOTES 123.
How much more precious is it to know our bridegroom Yahusha
through a deep and intimate relationship, now that He dwells
inside His Bride (of all lineages) across the earth, as He prepares
her for His return and the restoration of this planet. When we
compare with our patriarchs, there can be no excuses. What
would be written about us if Yahusha were to record our life and
behaviour? (you know He is don’t you?) Either we believe and
behave accordingly, or we ignore and be destroyed as we saw
in the text. The 6000 years (120 jubilee cycles) is almost up and
the great harvest of people and a spectacular Wedding Feast
awaits those who would graft into Yisharal through Immersion
in His Name, deny themselves and overcome this world and it’s
ways.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WERE TAUGHT FROM THE BEGINNING
OF TIME AND MADE OFFICIAL AT MT SINAI
TO REMIND YAHUSHA’S PEOPLE WHO THEY WERE!
 THE BEHAVIOUR REVOLUTION

If we don’t build our lives on the right foundation of truth,

we will faint and be rendered useless due to a lack of power
for overcoming the evil in this world.

1. Read the BYNV. The ‘Besorah of Yahusha Natsarim

Version’ is the most accurate translation/transliteration of
the original ancient Hebrew Scriptures (called ‘Turah’ in
Hebrew, meaning ‘instruction’). Get a copy from Amazon.

2. Behavioural Manual. The Turah is a message of our

Creator’s amazing love for His creation and it teaches us
how to behave (real worship is behaviour) while on this earth.

3. Correct Context. The Good News (Besorah) of Turah

is hidden to the world and it’s true meaning can only be
understood by the Ruach (YAHUSHA) living inside us and
must be read IN CORRECT CONTEXT for its power to be
effective and relevant. Correct interpretation brings LIFE
resulting in obedient, overcoming (loving) behaviour, while
incorrect interpretation brings DEATH resulting in lawless,
religious, freaky-false behaviour.

4. The Only Saving Name. The Creator’s True Name is the

KEY OF ALL KNOWLEDGE and opens the only DOORWAY
TO DELIVERANCE. Our Father put on flesh, became a man
through virgin birth and as the Son (our Messiah) He
Himself became the only doorway to deliverance through
His broken body and shed blood on the TORTURE STAKE for
us (not a cross). Only by believing and receiving the true
Names of the Father and Son can we experience the relief
and cleansing of deliverance within us, to feel the living
Word (Messiah Himself) wash us so that we can love Him
and follow Him.

126.
The true Name of the Father is YAHUAH (meaning “I Am, I
Was, I Will Be ALL EXISTENT”) . . . and The true Name of the
Messiah is YAHUSHA (meaning “Yahuah is my Deliverance”).

5. The Father and the Son are ONE. (No Trinity or duality).
The Son is the physical or visual representation of the Father
in the flesh, Who sacrificed Himself as a spotless lamb for
us in order to bridge the gap between the dimensions by
His perfect blood. His first appearance on earth was as a
suffering servant and His second appearance will be to
gather His chosen Bride to Himself and cleanse the rest of
the world with fire. There are not 2, or 3 or 5 or 8 beings.
And in the end we will only see our MESSIAH YAHUSHA for
YAHUAH & YAHUSHA ARE !

6. Repentance. To become Yahusha’s chosen Bride a person

must feel drawn and awakened by the Words and love of the
Father and convicted in themselves of the lawless lifestyle
they have lived, disobedient to His Instructions and outside
of His Marriage Covenant. They feel sorrow and anguish,
knowing that evil has been controlling them and they cry
out to be set free from Yahusha. This is called REPENTANCE
and it means to turn around and go in another direction.

7. Immersion. After repentance a person must be IMMERSED

IN THE NAME OF YAHUSHA, fully submerged in water as a
sign of a good conscience. Upon this supernatural act of
obedience they are sealed on their foreheads with the Name
of Yahusha and engrafted into the true vine (Yahusha), new
citizens of the Commonwealth of Yisharal His Bride.

8. The Bride. Yahusha’s followers (originally called ‘Natsarim’)

are likened to a Bride who is preparing for a Wedding Feast
and just as Marriage in the natural is between a man and
a woman who desire each other’s attention and affection,
Yahusha also desires this of His Bride as she learns what
pleases Him and strives to achieve it (behaviour = worship)
in her life. This is how she readies herself, putting off all
worldly influences that soil her white garments.

9. Mashiak Within. Once a person is Immersed, Messiah will

come and live in their hearts and write His marriage vows
(10 Commandments) on them, giving them the desire and
the power to obey them (and they are not hard).

127.
10. The Flogging & Training. Having a down-payment of
Yahusha’s Ruach inside, allows Him to train His Bride so
that she learns His heart and feels when He is pleased or
unhappy with her. He does this by flogging, disciplining,
chastising and rebuking her so that she bears the fruits
of righteousness (behaviour: love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, gentleness, trustworthiness and self-
control). If she begins to despise this discipline and training
she is in for a world of pain.

11. Unclean Lifestyle. Yahusha’s Bride follows the 10

Commandments, does not do unclean pagan practices like
inking herself (tattoos) or pornography or masturbation or
LGBT. She does not get drunk and live a party-spirit lifestyle.
She is striving to hear her Master’s voice, live a quiet life
and mind her own business. The Bride does not eat unclean
foods or fungus ie pigs flesh, seafood, mushrooms etc as
this is incredibly unhealthy and an abomination to Yahusha.

12. Redemptive Feasts. The Bride does not follow the

Pagan Zodiac, sun-worshipping practices of Xmas, Easter,
Halloween, Valentines, Birthdays, Mother’s/Father’s Day etc
but follows Yahusha’s 7 Redemptive Feasts, understanding
that she is being changed, awakened and redeemed each
year through observing obediently. PASSOVER, SHABUOTH,
TRUMPETS, ATONEMENT & BOOTHS. These feasts are a
very personal experiences between a person and Yahusha
and do not need to be a big gathering or celebration but
observed privately in their own home.

128.
13. Rest on Shabath. The outward sign that a person is in
the Everlasting Marriage Covenant with Yahusha is that
they follow the 4th Commandment, stay in their homes on
the 7th Day (Sat), do not buy or sell or work - they REST !!

14. The Three Rules. The Bride’s behaviour must be perfected

in order for her to make the Wedding Feast and so Yahusha
has given His Bride a quick behavioural summary of all the
Turah for quick reference in her day while dealing with the
masses of humanity who are used by Shatan the enemy
to ensnare her at every turn. This Behavioural Summary is
called THE 3 RULES:
1. Don’t take anything personally
2. Let everyone have it
3. Don’t make excuses.

These rules are a great help in OVERCOMING THE SELF and

the natural responses to retaliate, seek revenge and have
drama. Making an effort to implement these rules in her day
teaches the Bride how to love and behave like Yahusha did.

15. Lionizing Love. (the worship and adoration of Yahusha).

Reading the Scriptures in context, hearing the voice of her
Master and striving to follow in obedience is how the Bride
chooses to live out her remaining days before Yahusha’s
return. She knows the time is very close based on all the
prophesies in Turah and she has no interest in the pathway
of the worlds affairs or practices. Her eyes are on Yahusha,
the PATH He has placed her on, His love overwhelms her
and she would do anything to please Him. Her whole life
is a beautiful testimony of the radiant, intoxicating, all-
encompassing love of Yahusha and she has no other real
pleasures in life apart from Him. He is her hope, her life and
her expectation.
