֍ ֍ ֍ What is this Torah portion about?
֍ ֍ ֍ This week we begin in the book of Exodus (Sh’mot).֍ ֍ ֍
The parashah, Shemot, tells of the Israelites’ affliction in Egypt, the hiding and rescuing of the infant Moshe (Moses), Moshe in Midian, the calling of Moshe, circumcision on the way, meeting the elders, and Moshe before Pharaoh. (<<— edited from wikipedia)
֍ ֍ ֍ Where are we in our studies?
We are in the Book of Exodus (from Ancient Greek: Ἔξοδος, romanized: Éxodos; Hebrew: שְׁמוֹת Šəmōṯ, “Names”) NOTE: Yahweh is NOT Yah’s name. IMHO, at best it is a scholar’s guess and I believe a bad one at that. His real name is Yehovah.}
The Book of Exodus or, simply, Exodus (from Ancient Greek: ἔξοδος, éxodos, meaning “going out”; Hebrew: וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹת, shəmōṯ, “These are the names”, the beginning words of the text: “These are the names of the sons of Israel” Hebrew: וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמֹות בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל)

֍ ֍ ֍ What’s the connection between new wine and old wineskins?
The parable of the wineskins and garments by our Messiah is interpreted by some to be best understood as out with the old, and in with the new…meaning a new law of God. If that is true, then why did our Messiah say no one should want the new, for “the old is good.”
There appears to be a problem with the typical understanding.

NOTE: For Older Testament passages I’ve become rather interested in reading them in the Septuagint. I know some passages are different there comparably.
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).
