Exodus 30:11 - 34:35

1 Kings 18:1-39

Ki Tisa (1)

This Parashah covers the final instruction on the tabernacle, the incident of the golden calf, Mosheh's intercession, and the giving of the 2nd set of tablets

This is the abomination that our forefathers committed at the foot of the mountain of YHVH. We need to learn that the camp of Yah is holy, and the people who saw the cloud, the Red Sea open, and the manna fall from heaven, still worshiped other god. What will happen to us, who have never seeing any of those miracles? May the mercy of our father be always with us, and I pray that our Messiah will always stand up for us as we repent and search our hearts.

In the nugget we will discuss a few underlying legal principles found within the chapters concerning the Golden Calf.

Have you ever wondered why it was a "calf" that the Israelites chose to fashion as the image of a bull?
Why is it that not all the Israelites were killed for partaking in the incident?
Is this a sinful act considered to be ma'al or willful trespass against YHWH?
What is the connection in chapter 34 to the golden calf and the "jealousy of YHWH"?

Lastly, we will also see the parallels between Yeshua and Mosheh and the restoration of God's honor.

  1. Rico,

    Great Torah portion! Thank you for all your dedication to teaching YAH’s Word.

    One question/comment. As we studied through Exodus 32, it struck us that perhaps YHVH was also testing Moses. YHVH told Moses that He would annihilate the people and make a great nation of Moses (v 9-10). If Moses had been prideful, he could have taken this path. Instead, Moses pleaded before YHVH on behalf of the people and showed himself to be a true mediator and servant. He recounted YHVH’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel).

    Thoughts? Have you explored this aspect of these verses?

    Shabbat Shalom

  3. Toda Rico, the name for the prayer you were looking for is “Jabez” ‘Because I bore him in pain’ 1st Chron. 4:9-10, How awesome it is to be able to have the permission to go before the throne of the KING YHWH.
    Names and not numbers, every name is from Him given from above.
    I’ve heard some mention Dale C. about making friends and such. He (Dale C) teaches much that comes from Torah.
    Psalm 139 is where I go to for rememberance of Love from Him.
    Ex. 33:15 “Do let me see Your Glory” WOW !!! to be able to speak to Him like that, I so enjoy this portion of TORAH. selah

  4. Enjoyed the teaching!

    Regarding cooking the kid in it’s mother’s milk. This is what the pagans did before sprinkling it on the fields to ensure a bountiful harvest the next year. Kind of like spraying our crops with chemicals to grow more and bigger produce. Notice the verses Exodus 23:19 34:26 and Deuteronomy 14:21 we are told what not to eat. I believe that this is a warning about eating GMO (genetically modified organism) foods. These are foods that are engineered in the lab and enhanced with chemicals.

    Also, for people that are lactose intolerant a good alternative is raw milk. Virtually all people can consume raw milk without the effects that homogenized milk has.

  5. Rico, thank you for reminding us of Psalm 25. A psalm I have read quite often. I pray for mercy and favour on me and my family. to forgive the sins I know I have committed and the sins I do not have knowledge of.

    I thank Yaweh for His mercy. There is no other.

  6. Thank u Rico for all your wonderful insight.. you are teaching us so much!! I would love hearing from anybody that would like to grow in Messianic faith, including sharing feelings on any topic and ESPECIALLY friends of BEIT MIDRASH in Huntsville please feel free to communicate with us!!! Shalom in Yeshua. Joshua, Mandie, & Eden
