֍ ֍ ֍  What is this Torah portion about?

We are reading in the Books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy 

This parashah, Pesach or Passover/Unleavened Bread, deals with the salvation of the 1^st born of Israel. The Rabbis practice adding to and taking away from the Torah which is what we were told not to do in Devarim (Deuteronomy).

Devarim (Deuteronomy) 4:2
“You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHWH your Elohim which I command you.”

They added “High Holy Days” to the first and last days of the feasts. Abba did not instruct this in His Torah. This practice has distorted many things. I do not practice as the Jews do so I do not recognize these days as Sabbaths simply because Abba did not tell us to.

The parashah starts with the Pesach lamb whose blood was smeared over the doorpost and the lintel.

They ate the lamb with their staff in hand and their shoes on.

They were eventually driven out around midnight. It was a meal of hast. When they ate it was already the 1st day of the feast of Ub=nleavened Bread, a 7-day celebration with the 1st day being a no-work day and the 7th day being a no-work day, also.

That night was in hast and so they ate in hast then gathered their needed belongings in hast and fled. The Unleavened Bread was all they had to eat for seven days as they had no time to let the dough rise to make bread so they ate matza (crackers) for 7 days. Abba told them to commemorate this event every year after that as they lounge in, shalom, peace.

In this video series, we take a brief and concise look at the mo’edim (appointed times) of YHWH.

Among those days, sometimes called Jewish holidays, are ones called Passover and Unleavened Bread.  We’ll see where they comes from, how we can memorialize them, and what their prophetic implications are.

NOTE: For Older Testament passages I’ve become rather interested in reading them in the Septuagint.

I know some passages are different there comparably, but the Septuagint seems to have more depth in understanding than the Bibles translated using the Masoretic text created in about 600-1000 A.D.

This is compared to the origins of the Septuagint.

The Septuagint is the very first translation of the Hebrew Bible from Hebrew to another language, Greek.

It’s believed that it was probably translated as early as the third century BC. The Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek is traditionally dated to the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt (285-246 BC).
