The Gift of Giving 

This coming Shabbat Torah Reading on Parashah 19: T’rumah (Contribution) 25:1–27:19

Haftarah T’rumah: M’lakhim Alef (1 Kings) 5:26(12)– 6:13

B’rit Hadashah suggested readings for Parashah T’rumah:

Messianic Jews (Hebrews) 8:1–6; 9:23–24; 10:1

Terumah, Terumoh, Terimuh, or Trumah (תְּרוּמָה‎—Hebrew for “gift” or “offering” or ”contributes”…more deep spiritual meaning ”the gift of giving”. The word terumah (“lifting up”) comes from the verb stem, rum (רוּם, “high” or “to lift up”).

Andrew G. Roth: TERUMAH (Exodus 25:2) = offering/contribution, but literally “something lifted up/elevated.” What may at first be something very mundane and ordinary normally is elevated to service when given to Abba YHWH.

The key is the gift of giving. YHWH can see our hearts. I read slowly and comprehend wholeheartedly what Exodus 25:2 CJB reveals me, you all:

“Tell the people of Isra’el to take up a collection for me — accept a contribution from anyone who wholeheartedly wants to give.

2 Corinthians 9:7 CJB

Each should give according to what he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

The best way of encountering Abba YHWH is to give. Show your deep spiritual act flows giving thankful abundantly joyous spiritual comprehension connect with Him. Be a cheerful giver!

Yes and we all have trials, tribulations, weaknesses, strengths, struggle any battle, …

Learn to be still and keep clapping shouting praising and still give thanksgiving wholeheartedly to Abba YHWH still reigns every moments.

YHWH/Yeshua/Torah:

HalleluYAH! King Yeshua haMashiyach Himself is One Torah Giver and Judge gives One Torah for all through Ruach haKodesh.

Isaiah 33:22 TLV

²² For Adonai is our Judge,
Adonai is our Lawgiver,
Adonai is our King—
He will save us!

A mini-lesson on “judging”….

James 4:8. Draw near to Elohim and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners: sanctify your hearts, you who are divided in mind. 9. Humble yourselves and mourn: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into grief. 10. Humble yourselves before Master YHWH and He will exalt you. 11. Speak not against each other, my Brothers; for he that speaks against his brother, or judges his brother speaks against Torah and judges Torah. And if you judge Torah, you are not a doer of Torah, but its judge.[1] 12. There is one Torah-giver[2] and Judge who can make alive and (can) destroy: but who are you that you judge your neighbor? (AENT)

FOOTNOTES:

[1] If you add your own judgments to those already established in the Torah of YHWH, then you have judged Torah as insufficient, and are not allowing it to be your judge.

[2] One Torah Giver who gives One Torah. The halacha (way to observe Torah) is revealed by the Ruach haKodesh, and demonstrated in Mashiyach. The concept of “two torahs” one oral and one written is the basis of authority on which the Rabbinate operates.

“The Rabbis” wrote their own “oral Torah” and give themselves the authority to interpret it; unfortunately, their oral Torah often speaks against both the Written Torah and haMashiyach. On the other hand, Christian theologians have made up their own “New Testament” based on their own non-Torah cultural value systems which makes void Torah and diminishes the true goal of Mashiyach.

May YHWH bless you seek Him. Shabbat Shalom
