BS"D KNOW YOUR BIBLE: Nehemiah 12-13
Study Notes by Avraham ben Yaakov
NOTE: With praise and thanks to the Creator of the Universe, today we
complete our study of the book of Nehemiah. With prayers for His
continuing help in our journey of exploration of the treasures of the
TaNaKh, we will tomorrow embark on the study of the 12 so-called "minor"
prophets, beginning with the prophet Hosea. The reason for beginning
with the "minor" prophets instead of with Isaiah will be explained in
tomorrow's commentary.
NEHEMIAH CHAPTER 12
Our present chapter continues listing the names of the leading
Cohen-priests and Levites who returned to Judea from Babylon with
Zerubavel – although the list does not include all of them (Rashi on v
12).
Verses 27ff recount the ceremony of inauguration of the rebuilt city
walls of Jerusalem by Ezra and Nehemiah. The purpose of this
inauguration was to formally sanctify the area enclosed within the walls
with the unique sanctity of Jerusalem. Only within the city walls is it
permitted to eat KODOSHIM KALIM ("light" sacrifices, which did not have
to be eaten within the Temple courtyard, such as the meat of peace and
thanksgiving offerings, the Pesach lamb, animal tithes and firstborn
animals), BIKURIM (the "first fruits" eaten by the priests), MAASER
SHENI (the Second Tithe eaten in Jerusalem by its owners) etc. A variety
of restrictions applied in the Holy City unlike other cities in Israel:
among them are the prohibition against leaving a dead body to rest in
Jerusalem overnight; no graves were permitted there except for those of
the kings of the House of David and Hulda the Prophetess; areas within
the city could not be plowed or used for agriculture, fruit orchards
etc.; pottery furnaces were not permitted because of the smoke, and
garbage tips were proscribed as they would have attracted unclean
creatures that could have caused defilement to people and foods that had
to be eaten in a state of ritual purity, etc. (see Rambam, Hilchos Beis
HaBechirah 7:14).
The Sanhedrin were authorized to expand the city and the Temple
courtyards as far as they wanted (Rambam, Beis HaBechirah 6:10). "And
how would they add to the city? The rabbinic court would offer two Todah
(thanksgiving) animal offerings and then take the mandatory leavened
loaves included with the animal sacrifice, and the rabbis of the court
would go in procession after the thanksgiving offerings… They would
stand with harps and cymbals by every single corner and every single
stone in Jerusalem chanting 'I will exalt you, HaShem, for You have
lifted me up…' (Psalm 30:2) and continue until they reached the end of
the area that they were sanctifying, where they stopped. There they
would eat the bread of one of the thanksgiving offerings while the other
was burned…" (Rambam ibid. 6:12; cf. Talmud Bavli, Shevuous 15b).
Rambam maintains that the ceremony conducted by Ezra as recounted in our
present chapter was largely symbolic as the area in question was not
now actually sanctified anew since the original sanctification of the
Temple precincts and the city of Jerusalem carried out by King Solomon
was not only for his own time but for all time to come (ibid. 6:14).
However, this opinion is disputed by others (see Raavad ad loc.). Rambam
thus holds that it is permitted to offer sacrifices on the Temple Mount
even when there is no Temple, but this opinion is not universally
accepted.
From the account of the ceremony of inauguration as described in our
chapter, we see the great importance of MUSIC and SONG in the Temple
rituals (v 28). The arrangements for the Levite singers and Temple
musicians reinstituted by Ezra and Nehemiah dated back to King David,
the "sweet singer of Israel" (vv 36 & 46). The restoration of the
Temple was thus complete, and Nehemiah took steps to ensure the orderly
collection of the Terumah-tithe for the priests and the Maaser-tithes
for the Levites so that they would be freed from the burden of
supporting themselves in order to devote themselves to their duties in
the Temple.
CHAPTER 13
The work of separating the returnees from their foreign wives was
complex and protracted. One of the sons of the High Priest himself was
married into the family of Tuviah, one of the leading adversaries, and
the High Priest even gave Tuviah an office in the Temple, where he was
in an excellent position to spy on what was happening there.
The exact chronology of the various events described in our present
chapter is somewhat obscure. The walls of Jerusalem were built and
dedicated by Nehemiah shortly after his arrival there in the twentieth
year of the reign of Darius king of Persia, and Nehemiah stayed in the
city for twelve years. Thereafter he returned to Babylon to continue
serving the king as his wine butler/advisor. Our text seems to imply
that it was during Nehemiah's absence that Tuviah gained his foothold in
the Temple and that Nehemiah thereafter returned to Jerusalem, but it
is not clear how long afterwards this was (v 6, see Rashi and Metzudas
David ad loc.)
Whenever it was, Nehemiah used his authority as governor of Judea to
eject Tuviah from the Temple. He also had to struggle with the Temple
officers, who had become negligent about providing the Levite Temple
singers with their MA'ASER tithe, causing them to abandon their duties
in Jerusalem in order to go around the farms of Judea to collect it for
themselves (vv 10-13).
Nehemiah saw as one of his greatest achievements the restoration of
respect for and proper observance of the Shabbos in the Holy City (vv
14-22). He witnessed flagrant violation of the prohibition against
MELACHAH on Shabbos in Judea: the treading of grapes in the winepress
involves the MELACHAH of S'CHITAH, squeezing and separating the juice
from the flesh of the fruit, which is a derivative of the MELACHAH of
DASH, separating the kernels of produce from the stalks. This is
forbidden MI-D'ORAISO (by the law of the written Torah). Nehemiah also
saw the shameless marketing of all kinds of produce on Shabbos by
various traders and merchants. Commercial activity is not necessarily
forbidden on Shabbos MI-D'ORAISO but is certainly forbidden
MI-DERABBANAN (through the enactments of the sages, cf. Isaiah 58:13).
In order to restore proper observance of the Shabbos, Nehemiah had to
struggle with the leaders of Judea (v 17) – not unlike the HAREDIM in
Israel today, who are locked in struggle with the secularized in an
attempt to uphold the sanctity of Shabbos.
"What evil thing is this that you do and profane the Sabbath day? Did
not your fathers do this, and did not our God bring all this evil upon
us and upon this city? And yet you bring more wrath upon Israel by
profaning the Sabbath" (vv 17-18). If only we would imbibe this lesson
today.
The closing section of our chapter returns to the issue of intermarriage
(vv 23-31). Thus Nehemiah's book ends with his strengthening of two of
the most fundamental pillars of Judaism: family purity and observance of
the Shabbos.
With this we reach the end of all the narrative books of the TaNaCh with
the exception of the Book of Chronicles, which retells the history of
Israel until the destruction of the First Temple, concluding with a
brief reference to the return of the exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem
under Zerubavel. With the help of God we will study Chronicles later on
in the year, after first delving into the prophetic and wisdom
literature.
Blessed be God for ever and ever. Amen.

BS"D KNOW YOUR BIBLE: Hosea 1-2
Study Notes by Avraham ben Yaakov
HOSEA CHAPTER 1
WHY START THE TWELVE "MINOR" PROPHETS NOW?
According to an ancient tradition, the order of the NEVI'IM ("prophets")
as written in the scroll of the TaNaCh was: Joshua, Judges, Samuel,
Kings, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah and "the Twelve" (="minor" prophets).
The Talmud asks why Isaiah is placed AFTER Jeremiah and Ezekiel, since
he lived several generations earlier. It answers that since the book of
Kings ends with the destruction of the Temple, it is fitting to read
Jeremiah directly after it since his main theme is destruction. Ezekiel
begins with destruction and ends with comfort, while Isaiah is all
comfort, and thus destruction comes next to destruction and comfort next
to comfort (Bava Basra 14b).
The Twelve "minor" prophets are not minor in the sense that they were
any less in spiritual stature than the "major" prophets Isaiah,
Jeremiah, Ezekiel but only because their surviving written prophecies
are much shorter. These twelve short prophetic works are accounted as
one book and written together in a single scroll so that they should not
get lost, which would be easy if each was on a separate small scroll.
The first of The Twelve is Hosea. The Talmud (ibid.) explains that the
book of Hosea ought to have been written before that of his contemporary
Isaiah because Hosea started prophesying first. However, since, for the
reason given above, Hosea's prophecy was included in the same scroll as
Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, who came well after Isaiah at the end of
the period of the prophets at the time of the building of the Second
Temple, the entire book of the twelve "minor" prophets is placed after
Isaiah in the traditional order of the books of the Bible. [The Talmud
states that it was Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi and the Men of the Great
Assembly who wrote the twelve "minor" prophets in one scroll when they
saw that Holy Spirit was departing from the world: they wrote down their
own prophecies and included with them those of the earlier "minor"
prophets in order to ensure they would not get lost. Bava Basra 15a,
Rashi ad loc.]
Despite the fact that in the traditional order Ezekiel comes after
Kings, we have followed a different order in our Bible study, because
after completing Kings II we went directly to Daniel, Ezra and Nehemiah,
which are contained in KESUVIM (=writings), the third component of
TaNaKh. The reason for doing so was to study the HISTORY of Israel
consecutively, since Daniel picks up the narrative of the exile to
Babylon exactly where the last two chapters of Kings II leave off. (When
people follow Kings II with Isaiah or Ezekiel etc. they normally reach
Daniel etc. only very much later and easily become confused about the
history and chronology.)
Having completed our study of the biblical books that are mainly devoted
to historical narrative (with the exception of II Chronicles, which
retells for a somewhat different purpose the history of Israel until the
exile in Babylon), we should now have an overall grasp of the
historical framework within which to gain deeper understanding of the
prophets. They were addressing the people of their time in the
historical conditions in which they were caught up – and thus make
constant references to the national and international realities of their
times. At the same time, their prophecies are the Word of God as
addressed to all the generations to come, and they are as relevant today
as they were when they were first spoken. Through clearer understanding
of the historical context in which they prophesied, we can better know
how their message applies to us in the world we live in today. Since
history is cyclical, the spiritual roots of the situation we face today
lie deeply embedded in the situation addressed by the prophets.
The reason for studying The Twelve "minor" prophets before approaching
the lengthy books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel is that the study of
The Twelve serves as an excellent introduction to the language and
methods of the prophets, which are very different from most of the
historical narratives we have studied until now.
WHO WAS HOSEA?
Verse 1 of our present chapter tells us that Hosea ben Be'eri prophesied
in the days of Uziah, Yotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and
Yerav'am ben Yo'ash king of Israel (see Kings II chs 14-20). Uziah came
to the throne 223 years before the destruction of the First Temple. It
was in the time of Hezekiah, who died 110 years before the destruction,
that the Ten Tribes were taken into exile in the year 3205 (555 B.C.E.).
Hosea's father Be'eri is Be'erah mentioned in I Chronicles 5:6 as prince
of the tribe of Reuven, and he was also a prophet (Isaiah 8:19-20).
From verse 2 of our present chapter the rabbis learned that Hosea was
the first of four great prophets who prophesied in the same period. The
other three were Amos, Isaiah, and Michah. Hosea received Torah from
Zechariah son of Yehoyada the High Priest, who received it from Elisha.
Hosea was the greatest of the four prophets of his time, and he taught
Amos, who in turn taught Isaiah, who taught Michah (Rambam, Introduction
to Mishneh Torah). Hosea prophesied for ninety years (Pesachim 87a).
"Said the Holy One blessed be He to Reuven: You were the first to
repent. By your life, your son's son will stand up and be the first to
open up with Teshuvah, as it is written, Return, Israel to the Lord your
God" (Hosea 14:2, Bereishis Rabbah 84:18). Hosea's reproofs were
primarily directed against the Ten Tribes under the leadership of
Ephraim. The gravesite of Hosea is in a cave in the old cemetery of
Safed in the Galilee, and can be visited until today.
"GO TAKE FOR YOURSELF A WIFE OF HARLOTRY AND CHILDREN OF HARLOTRY" (v 2)
Z'NOOS (="harlotry"), a recurrent theme in Hosea, is a metaphor for
faithlessness to God – forsaking one's true "husband" and going after
other "lovers"=idols (cf. Numbers 15:39, recited twice daily in the
third paragraph of Shema). In Hosea's time the Children of Israel
reached the lowest level both in relation to God and in their behavior
to one another. The rabbis stated that God hinted to Hosea that he
should pray for the people, but he replied that God should change them
for another people (an early example of "replacement theology"). "The
Holy One blessed be He said, What can I do with this elder. I'll tell
him to take a harlot who will bear children who may nor may not be his,
and I'll tell him to send them away. If he agrees, I too will send
Israel away. So it was: Hosea married Gomer bas Divlayim, a known
harlot, who bore him children who were given names alluding to their
future fate, but when God asked Hosea to divorce and send them away,
Hosea began asking for mercy so that they could stay with him. The Holy
One blessed be He said to Hosea: This wife is not loyal to you and the
children are not definitely yours but you still want them. How then can
you tell me to send away Israel, the children of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, one of the possessions I have acquired in the world? Hosea
immediately understood that he had erred in what he said and begged for
mercy on Israel" (Pesachim 87a).
Some of the rabbis took Hosea's marriage with this harlot as having
happened literally (Pesachim 87a), while others saw it as essentially a
prophetic allegory (see Targum Yonasan and RaDaK on v 2).
The prophecy in the present chapter deals with:
vv 1-3: Hosea's marriage with the harlot.
vv 4-5: The birth of the son Yizra'el (="God will scatter") and the
prophecy of the punishment that would be visited on the house of Yehu
ben Nimshi, who had shed the blood of the house of Ahab (="the blood of
Yizra'el", the location where they were killed, II Kings ch 9) but who
later practiced idolatry himself.
vv. 6-7: Birth of the daughter Lo-Ruhamah (="not shown love"), a prophecy of the punishment of Israel and comfort to Judah.
vv. 8-9: Birth of the son Lo-Ami (="not My people"), a metaphor of God's abandonment of Israel.
CHAPTER 2
This chapter of consolation follows directly after the first chapter
dealing with punishment as if to indicate that after God told him to
marry a harlot etc. Hosea realized he had sinned in having earlier said
that God should divorce the unfaithful nation (Pesachim 87b; Rashi on v
1). "What connection is there between chapters 1 and 2? It can be
compared to a king who was angry with his wife and summoned the scribe
to write her a GET (=bill of divorce), but by the time the scribe
arrived, the king was reconciled with his wife. He said, How can I send
this scribe away wondering why I summoned him? The king told the scribe
to write a new KESUBAH (marriage contract) double the value of the
first" (Sifrei quoted by Rashi on v 1).
Vv. 1-3: Prophecy of consolation and redemption, opposite of the harsh
prophecy of the previous chapter. Verse 2 prophecies the reunification
of Judah and Israel, who will appoint over themselves "one head"
(=Mashiach) and come up from "the land" (=exile). "…for great is the day
of Yizre'el, i.e. the day of their ingathering from having been "sown"
(ZARA) and "scattered" by God. Thus Hosea, who lived even before the
exile of the Ten Tribes, was looking at the entire sweep of history that
will culminate in the healing of the split between Judah and the Ten
Tribes and their reconciliation under King Messiah.
"Say to your brothers, My people and to your sisters, Shown love" (v 3).
Metzudas David and RaDaK (in the name of Rav Sa'adia Gaon) interpret:
"You, the children of Judah and Benjamin, say of your brothers, the
children of the Ten Tribes, that they are My People just like you… and
likewise say Shown-Love of the women of the Ten Tribes". In this verse
Jews thus have a clear directive to reach out to the returning members
of the Ten Tribes and help them return to their Israelite roots.
Vv. 4-7: God reproves Israel as a "harlot" for having replaced him with
idols. He threatens that this will lead to her returning to her
condition of nakedness as it was prior to the redemption from Egypt (v
5).
"For their mother has played the harlot. She who conceived them has
acted shamefully" (v 7): "Their very sages and teachers are ashamed
before the people because they say to them 'Don't steal' while they
themselves steal, and they preach, 'Don't lend upon interest' while they
do precisely that" (Rashi ad loc.
"For she said, I will go after those who love me" (v 7). RaDak (ad loc.)
explains that on one level "those who love me" are Egypt and Ashur,
with whom Israel tried to make a covenant [just as today Israel thinks
U.S. and the European Union etc. are her "friends"], while on another
level they refer to the sun, moon and constellations which they
worshipped idolatrously.
Vv. 8-15: Specifies the penalty for abandoning God. V 13 is explained by
the rabbis as alluding to the destruction of the Temple, turning the
month of Av into a time of mourning (Taanis 29b).
Vv. 16-20: God's attempt to bring the Assembly of Israel back to him. "I
will allure her and bring her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to
her" (v 16): Targum explains that in the future redemption God will do
wonders and miracles just as He did in the wilderness. (Those of us who
feel we are living in a kind of wilderness today can also constantly see
and feel His miracles as He draws us to him!)
Vv. 21-22: God strikes a renewed, eternal Covenant with Israel. When men
wind the leather RETZUA-strap of the arm TEFILIN as a "wedding ring"
around the fingers and hand to form the letters SHIN-DALET-YUD, it is
customary to recite these verses.
Vv. 23-25: Prophecy of consolation and restoration of the nation to its
previous status. "And I shall sow her for me in the land…" (v 25). Just
as one sows a small measure of seed and harvests a very great measure,
so through God's "sowing" the Children of Israel in their lands of
exile, they will bring back very many converts (Pesachim 87b).
This whole chapter, which tells how Israel are numberless as the sand of
the sea, is read as the Haftara to parshas Bamidbar, which is read in
May-June just before the festival of Shavuos, and which speaks of the
counting of the Children of Israel by Moses in the wilderness.

The
Scripture is not speaking that Ephraim shall replace Yehudah but with
all what Scripture is telling about Ephraim He shall ‘fill’ Yehudah: Zec 9:13
“For I shall bend Yehudah for Me, I shall fill the bow (Yehudah) with
Ephrayim, and I shall stir up your sons, O Tsiyon (Yehudah and Ephraim
One Stick), against your sons, O Greece, and I shall make you like the
sword of a mighty man.”
So that comes in fulfillment:
Eze 37:17 “Then bring them together for yourself into one stick, and they shall become one in your hand.
Eze 37:18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’
Eze 37:19 say to them, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה,
“See, I am taking the stick of Yosĕph, which is in the hand of
Ephrayim, and the tribes of Yisra’ĕl, his companions. And I shall give
them unto him, with the stick of Yehuḏah, and make them one stick, and
they shall be one in My hand.”
O Ephraim and Yehudah, open your eye's and choose,
Look what is before you if you choose for Yahweh Elohim and not 'bent' for the Chaldean.
Israel (Yehudah and Ephraim) You have to make a choice!
Israel you have to make your choice, if you like to live.

(Jer
31:20) “Is Ephrayim a precious son to Me, a child of delights? For

also said of Moshiach, indicating Moshiach’s eternal divine nature: Dan
7:14 And there was given Him (Moshiach) dominion, and honor, and
sovereignty, that all people, Goyim, tongues, should pey-lammed-chet.
[1] (worship as deity) (see Dan 3:12, serve, reverence as deity Him
(Moshiach). His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not
pass away, and His (Messianic) Kingdom that which shall not be
destroyed.] see Michah 5:1[2];)
Yahweh
Elohai (my Elohim) Kedoshi (my Holy One)? We shall not die. Yahweh,
Thou hast appointed them (these Chaldean) for mishpat (ordinance); O
Tzur (Rock), Thou hast ordained them (these Chaldean) for reproof.
Maran
Rabbeinu Yeshuah and Rabbeinu Shaul are teaching that you, Yehudah and
Ephraim all Israel, come together to the same point as where you were
when you said:
Deu 5:27 Go thou near, and hear all that Yahweh
Eloheinu (our Elohim) shall say; and speak thou unto us all that Yahweh
Eloheinu shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
But don’t ‘make’ from one of them Rabbeinu Yeshuah, Rabbeinu Shaul or
Rabbeinu Mosheh another ‘mighty one’ but accept them in your live for
what they really are….
Please take it serious what Abba Yahweh is telling us in:
Deu 18:15 Yahweh Eloheicha (your Elohim) will raise up
unto thee a Navi (prophet) from among thee, of thy achim (bretheren),
kamoni (like me.....
Exo 32:30
The next day Moshe said to the people, "You have committed a terrible
sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh; maybe I will be able to atone for your
sin."); unto him ye must listen;
Deu
18:16 According to all that thou desired of Yahweh Eloheicha (your
Elohimin) Chorev (to be burnt dried up, ruined, wasted) in the Yom
HaKahal (day of the congregation), saying, Let me not hear again the
voice of Yahweh Elohav (your Elohim), neither let me see this eish
hagedolah (‘great fire’) any more, that I die not.
Deu 18:17 And Yahweh said unto me, They have well-spoken that which they have spoken.
Deu
18:18 I will raise them up a Navi (prophet) from among their achim
(brethren), like unto thee, and will put My words in his mouth; and he
shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Joh 10:18
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have
samchut (authority) to lay it down, and I have samchut to receive it
again. This mitzvah I received from HaAv (the Father).
Deu
18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not listen unto My
words which he shall speak Bishmi (in My Name), I will require it of
him.
Joh
8:28 Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, When you
perform the hagbah (lifting up) of the Ben HaAdam, you will have da'as
(knowledge) that Ani Hu [YESHAYAH 41:4; SHEMOT 3:14-16], and from myself
I do nothing, but as HaAv (the Father) of me taught me, these things I
speak.
Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiah Yeshuah – is Yeshuah Yahweh. Like it is said in:
Gen_49:18 I have waited for Thy Yeshuah (Salvation), Yahweh.
Exo_15:2
Yahweh is my oz and zimrah (song of praise), and He is become to me
Yeshuah (salvation); He is Eli (my Elohim), and I will praise Him;
Elohei Avi (the Elohim of my Father), and I will exalt Him.
And not a half-god, or another mighty-one who came
between HaShem and us! (Not, ‘It Suph’!) I believe many of us (Jews and
Ephraimites!) have to learn that!

Please

Until comes in fulfillment,
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David (The whole House of
Israel, Jews and Ephraim), and upon the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the
spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom
they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourned for his
only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in
bitterness for his firstborn.
Isa 11:13 And the envy of Ephrayim shall turn aside, and the adversaries of Yehudah be cut off. Ephrayim shall not envy Yehudah, and Yehudah not trouble Ephrayim.

We
want to see: (Zec 10:7) “And Ephrayim shall be as a mighty man, and
their heart shall rejoice as if with wine. And their children shall see
and rejoice, their heart exulting in יהוה.
Isa 11:1 And a Rod shall come forth from the stump of Yishai, and a Sprout from his roots shall bear fruit.
Isa 11:2 The Spirit of יהוה
shall rest upon Him – the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the
Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of יהוה,
Isa 11:3 and shall make Him breathe in the fear of יהוה. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.
Isa
11:4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and shall decide
with straightness for the meek ones of the earth, and shall smite the
earth with the rod of His mouth, and slay the wrong with the breath of
His lips.
Isa 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and trustworthiness the girdle of His waist.
Isa
11:6 And a wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and a leopard lie down with
the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling
together, and a little child leads them.
Isa 11:7 And cow and bear shall feed, their young ones lie down together, and a lion eat straw like an ox.
Isa 11:8 And the nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the adder’s den.
Isa 11:9 They do no evil nor destroy in all My set-apart mountain, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of יהוה as the waters cover the sea1. Footnote: 1Hab. 2:14.
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a Root of Yishai, standing as a banner to the people. Unto Him the gentiles1 shall seek, and His rest shall be esteem. Footnote: 1Or nations.
Isa 11:11 And it shall be in that day that יהוה
sets His hand again a second time to recover the remnant of His people
who are left, from Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from Pathros and from
Kush, from Ěylam and from Shinʽar, from Ḥamath and from the islands of the sea.
Isa
11:12 And He shall raise a banner for the nations, and gather the
outcasts of Yisra’ĕl, and assemble the dispersed of Yehuḏah from the
four corners of the earth.
Isa
11:13 And the envy of Ephrayim shall turn aside, and the adversaries
of Yehuḏah be cut off. Ephrayim shall not envy Yehuḏah, and Yehuḏah
not trouble Ephrayim.
Isa
11:14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines
toward the west; together they plunder the people of the east, their
hand stretching forth on Eḏom and Mo’aḇ, and the children of Ammon shall be subject to them.
Isa 11:15 And יהוה
shall put under the ban the tongue of the Sea of Mitsrayim, and He
shall wave His hand over the River with the might of His Spirit, and
shall smite it in the seven streams, and shall cause men to tread it in sandals.
Isa 11:16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of His people, those left from Ashshur......
that is where you went, disappeared Ephraim. Read it for yourselve: 2Ki
18:9 And it came to be in the fourth year of Sovereign Ḥizqiyahu,
which was the seventh year of Hoshĕa son of Ělah, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl,
that Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur came up against Shomeron and
besieged it,
2Ki 18:10 and they captured it at the end of three years. In the sixth
year of Ḥizqiyah, that is the ninth year of Hoshĕa sovereign of
Yisra’ĕl, Shomeron was captured.
2Ki 18:11 And the sovereign of Ashshur exiled Yisra’ĕl to Ashshur, and
placed them in Ḥalaḥ and Ḥaḇor, the River of Gozan, and in the
cities of the Medes,
2Ki 18:12 because they did not obey the voice of יהוה their Elohim,
but transgressed His covenant – all that Mosheh the servant of יהוה had
commanded. And they did not obey nor do them.
........as it was for Yisra’ĕl in the day when he came up from the land of Mitsrayim.

In the petition we ask Abba:
'Here
by we (us, the signers) ask You Abba Yahweh to make an organization
with an embassy in Jerusalem Israel. Who represent The House of Ephraim
before the Jewish people and the rest of the world. That we like to live
here together in the Land of Israel side by side with our Jewish
brother. Not as an replacement but in coming together like Abba Yahweh
promised us in: Ezechiel 37:1-28. That You Abba Yahweh promote us,
Ephraim, in an good organization, in helping, protecting the Jewish
People under the guidance of Yeshuah Rabbeinu our Messiah. As is written
in Ezechiel 37:24 'while Dawid My servant is sovereign over them. And
they shall all have one shepherd and walk in My right-rulings and guard
My laws, and shall do them.'
If we ask for His Yeshuah in our lives:
Than we can come to the point:
Deu 5:27 Go
thou near, and hear all that Yahweh Eloheinu (our Elohim) shall say;
and speak thou unto us all that Yahweh Eloheinu shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
O Ephraim and Yehudah, open your eye's and choose, Look what is before you if you choose for Yahweh Elohim and not 'bent' for the Chaldean.
(Zec 10:7) “And Ephrayim shall be as a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as if with wine. And their children shall see and rejoice, their heart exulting in יהוה. This enemy (Chaldean) wants to destroy Israel (Yudah and Ephraim) and take their place. Ephraim you have to organize yourselves in an UN-dependent nation, ask your leaders to teach you your real identity: a nation dependent on Yahweh... And after that you become 'a mighty man' in Yahweh.......than you should make an covenant with Yehudah!
Please Say Yes to Abba Yahweh and His Laws. It is written in the Koran: ‘1. Surah Al-Fatihah: 1. In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. 2. All the praises and thanks are to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). 3. The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. 4. The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) 5. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything). 6. Guide us to the Straight Way 7. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger (such as the Jews), nor of those who went astray (such as the Christians). This is the 'start' in the Koran......

Please read the Mitzvoth go to: Positive Commandments and the Negative Commandments),
easy to read. It is very important to know them. I don’t ask you this
to become a good Jew! But to learn who you really are. That you can find
your real identity. In a good understanding of the rest of The
Scriptures. And that you understand that Rabbi Shaul is talking to a real Israel,
1Co 10:1 I do not want you to be without da'as
(knowledge), Achim (brothers) b(in) 'Moshiach, that Avoteinu (our fore
Fathers, you Yehudah and Ephraim! Nobody else.) all were under the anan
(cloud),
(‘Achim (brothers) b(in)Moshiach are Yehudah and Ephraim who were all
under the anan (cloud). The seed (literal) of Abraham, Yitzhak and
Ya’acob) read it for yourself :)
Exo 13:21 And Yahweh went before them (Yehudah and
Ephraim -Israel) by day in an ammud anan (‘Pillar of a cloud), to guide
them haderech (the Way); and by lailah (night) in an ammud eish (‘Pillar
of fire), to give them ohr (light); so they could travel yomam valailah
(day or night);
Exo
13:22 He took not away the amud heanan (‘Pillar of a cloud) by day, nor
the ammud haeish (‘Pillar of fire) by night, from before HaAm (the
people, Yehudah and Ephraim) and passed through the sea.
Exo 14:22 And the Bnei Yisroel (Yehudah and Ephraim)
then went into the middle of the yam (sea) upon the yabashah (dry land);
and the mayim (waters) were a chomah (wall) unto them on their right,
and on their left.
Exo
14:23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle
of the yam (sea), even kol sus (all horses) Pharaoh, his chariots, and
his parash (rider).
Exo
14:24 So it came to pass, that when came the watch of the boker
(morning), Yahweh looked down on the machaneh Mitzrayim (camp of Egypt)
through the ammud eish (pillar of fire) and of the anan (cloud), and
caused confusion over the machaneh Mitzrayim (camp of Egypt),
Exo
14:25 And turned awry their chariot wheels, that they drove them with
difficulty; so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the presence of
Yisroel (really when Yehudah and Ephraim where together, not like
today); because Yahweh fighting for them against the Egyptians,
So let we further listen what Rabbi Shaul has really to say:)
1Co 10:2 And all into Moshe Rabbenu were given tevilah (a ‘mikwah’ immersed) in the anan (cloud) and in the sea,
1Co 10:3 And all of the same spiritual okhel (food) ate [SHEMOT 16:4,35; DEVARIM 8:3; TEHILLIM 78:24-29],
