Urim and tummim are perhaps the most peculiar article of the high priest attire. How they looked like, most unfortunately the Torah does not tell much. Nevertheless, what the Torah tell us is that they functioned as a means of communication between YHVH and His people. Mosheh (Moses) is distinguished from the people as the mediator of the Covenant of YHVH. He led the people out of Egypt and brought them to Mount Sinai where Israel received the revelation of the Torah and...

The whole world is in the grip of probably the most dangerous virus we have known — COVID-19 the Coronavirus. As of March 2020, COVID-19 has claimed the lives of many people with many more found infected. Their number is still growing as the uncertainty of how to fight the Coronavirus is growing, too. Much has been written and will be written about COVID-19 the Coronavirus. The danger of this strain of virus does not come from the high mortality rate (as of the writing of...

Very often a mistranslation like “vanity” can overturn the whole meaning of a message in the Scripture. A typical example of it is the phrase in Ecclesiastes: Vanity of vanities! All is vanity! Is life a vanity, or the things we have labored all of our days were in vain or futile? Have we not received them from Elohim, and if we indeed have, why has the preacher called “vanity of vanities”? What does the wisest man teach in his end-of-life message to...

Is there any proof that the Bible is the Word of the Creator and was not written by men? There are many accusations that the Bible is a myth or a compilation of legends at best. The secularists accuse the Jews of inventing the Bible, while the Muslims: of distorting it. For instance, the most popular accusation is that the Jews replaced Ishmael with Isaac on the altar, and it was Ishmael who was the promised son, and it was Ishmael whom Avraham (Arab. Ibrahim) offered for...

Fundamental Rights of Israel are bestowed upon the children of Israel in their relation to YHVH for observing His appointed times and appearing before Him three times a year: for the Festival of the Unleavened Bread, the Festival of the Weeks, and the Festival of the Tabernacles (Exo 23:14-17). The festal rejoicing was a blessing accompanied with the rights of appearing before YHVH, to whom the children of Israel are indebted for everything He has done for the nation:...

There is a common belief that the Passover Lamb has died for everyone. This is derived from the very statement Yeshua the Passover Lamb of YHVH made, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (Joh 3:16 KJV) This truthful statement, however, is believed to mean that whosoever believes is saved and will not perish. Notice the pair of words: the world and whosoever and how they...

The forbidden fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is as mysterious as the tree itself. But what was the forbidden fruit and what was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden? The Christian tradition holds that the forbidden fruit was an apple, but this tradition could have been associated with the pagan traditions of Athena with an apple (in the Greek mythology, Athens is a goddess of wisdom and useful arts and prudent warfare,...

If there is a human being who had ever known the Oneness of the Creator, that was Mosheh. He was the only human being who had ever known the Creator so closely, to speak with Him mouth to mouth and face to face, yet, he simply said, “Listen up O Israel, YHVH is one!” The common understanding of this appeal, known as Shema Israel, is the Oneness of Creator God, i.e. the oneness or unity of the Godhead, and the obedience of His people to His will. In Time of...

From the very beginning, righteousness was the state in which man was first created in the image of the Creator, but it was lost due to his works in opposition to His will. Yes, there was readiness expressed in the will of Adam, but his works made him lose his stand before the Creator and consequently to lose his appointed destiny to live forever. And when the human race in the face of the descendants of Adam was universally corrupted, Noach alone was found righteous and...

It is an acknowledged belief that Mosheh (Moses) and Eliyahu (Elijah) are the two prophets in Revelation. That idea that Mosheh and Eliyahu are the two witnesses of the last days is probably taken by the comparison of their extraordinary lives as recorded in the Scripture. And indeed, the life of Eliyahu, the restorer of the kingdom of Elohim, resembles in many ways the life of Mosheh, the founder of the nation of Israel: both prophets were zealous for the purity of the...

The command to Peter to eat unclean animals in Act 10:11-13 has been taken to mean that he ate unclean animals and therefore the Law of God was abolished by the apostle. Thus, the door for the gentiles to eat whatever they wish is opened and if Peter has broken one law, all of the rest have broken, as well, and why bother to keep all the Law. Ironically, the history repeats itself for those who do not learn from history. As the deceiver deceived the first people to eat from...

The primary reason of a prayer on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), the most set-apart day of the year, is the way to ask YHVH for forgiveness of sins committed against Him. The prayer on Yom Kippur is not limited, however, only to sins committed against Him, as commonly understood, but to our neighbor, as well. Prayers for forgiveness should not and are not limited to one day of the year, i.e. Yom Kippur, either. A prayer for Yom Kippur, as the name plainly says, is a...
