Remember the following three truth’s from our beloved Scriptures!

“Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם (the LORD your Eloheichem) which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

“This is My Name FOREVER, and this is My Memorial to ALL Generations”. Shemot - Exodus 3:15. (JPS).

“I am יְהוָה, that is My Name; and My glory will I not give to another”. Yeshayahu - Isaiah 42:8. (JPS).

The TaNaKh

Three colors’ represent the books of the Tanakh!..

With Rabbi, Dr. Reuven Ben Avraham-Goossens, PhD.

Introduction:

Our beloved Hebrew Books, which are directly related from, or directly related to אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה - the LORD Elohim, and are Holy books. These books are separated in what contains all of them, in the TaNaKh, which is in fact an acronym for the three major sections, being the, ‘Torah’, ‘Nevi’im’, and ‘Ketuvim’. These three sections comprise the whole and all of the Hebrew Scriptures. Indeed, there are countless other writings, but not one of these is holy, the truth being they were all man-made by rabbis. It is a violation according the Law, just think what we were told by אֱלֹהִים יְהוָה - the LORD Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name!

“Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם (the LORD your Elohim) which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

We have all heard of the so-called “Oral Law”, if anyone has a brain, we must know that human memory over such a long time, that from the time Moshe received the Mitzvoth, humans did not have the capability to remember such a huge number of men made laws, by men. If it was given to Moshe, it is so strange that there is not a single mention of it in the Torah! One does not have to be a scholar (Although I am one, with several doctorates and a PhD). But for those so long ago, the claims are simply impossible!

Back to the Tanakh:

The first in both order and priority is the blessed “Torah”, which contains the teaching found in the first five books of the Tanakh. These five sacred books contain the following;

בְּרֵאשִׁית - Bereshit - Genesis,

שְׁמוֹת - Shemot - Exodus,

יִּקְרָא - Vayikra - Leviticus,

בְּמִדְבַּר - Be’midbar - Numbers,

דְּבָרִים - Davarm -Deuteronomy.

In these five books אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s, the Hebrew’s retained the story of creation and the beginnings of their history under the patriarchs, Avram - Avraham, Yitzchak - Isaac, and Ya’aqov - Jacob. They learned of their early history as slaves in Egypt and their miraculous rescue by יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים - the LORD Elohim. We received the Mitzvot - Law from אֱלֹהִים, given to Moshe on Mount Horeb, and finally the Hebrew’s arrived at the land that was promised to them by אֱלֹהִים. The Torah is our most sacred literature and it is treated with the highest respect.

A ‘Sefer Torah’ is a Torah copied entirely by hand on a parchment scroll and it is kept in every synagogue’s Ark. It is read during Sabbath services as well as the other Hebrew festivals (feasts).

The second section being the Tanakh is “Nevi’im”, which means ‘Prophets’, and includes historical and prophetic words to אֱלֹהִים - Elohim’s people from the entry into the Promised Land under Yahoshua - Joshua’s leadership, through the early judges, and then from the triumphant kingdom of Dovid - David to the kingdoms of “Israel” and “Judah”, and to the last words of the prophets. It is comprised of 21 books: ‘Joshua’, ‘Judges’, ‘1 and 2 Samuel’, ‘1 and 2 Kings’, ‘Isaiah’, ‘Jeremiah’, ‘Ezekiel’, ‘Hosea’, ‘Joel’, ‘Amos’, ‘Obadiah’, ‘Jonah’, ‘Micah’, ‘Nahum’, ‘Habakkuk’, ‘Zephaniah’, ‘Haggai’, ‘Zechariah’, and ‘Malachi’.

The third section is ‘Ketuvim’, which means Writings, and it has 13 books, congaing ‘Tehillim - Psalms’, ‘Proverbs’, ‘Job’, ‘Song of Songs’, ‘Ruth’, ‘Lamentations’, ‘Ecclesiastes’, ‘Esther’, ‘Daniel’, ‘Ezra’, ‘Nehemiah’, ‘1 and 2 Chronicles’ contain the riches of Jewish poetry, wisdom literature, philosophy, history, and prophecy.

Thus from the above we now have a clear picture of the very first Scriptures ever on earth, and it has been retained to this day, since Moshe - Moses wrote the very first books of the Torah! Apart from the aforementioned Tanakh, there are no other works that were influenced by אֱלֹהִים whatsoever, as they are simply rabbis of the ancient past interfering with their man-created writings! Yet, these men have called these books ‘Holy’. I am sorry rabbis, ONLY the Books of the Tanach are holy, for they came, and were assisted by our beloved יְהוָה - the LORD!

The tragic things that occurred in later times, rabbis even altered our blessed and sacred writings of the Tanakh.

For instance look at Tehillim – Psalm 53, you will note that in both the Ivrit (Hebrew) and English there are seven times that it read’s as אֱלֹהִים - Elohim. However, the more ancient parchments I have read at the “Shrine of the Book” - היכל הספר - Heikhal HaSefer, contain the beloved and Sacred Name of יְהוָה - “the LORD” seven times. And there have been other changes in our blessed Tanakh! The question is what did אֱלֹהִים - Elohim have to say about those who alter or demise His Word! This is the third time I have quoted this scripture on this study!

Even the priests were cursed - Malachi 2; 1-3, and 8:

“And now, this commandment is for you, O ye priests. If ye will not hearken, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto My Name, saith the LORD of hosts, then will I send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings; yea, I curse them, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will rebuke the seed for your hurt, and will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your sacrifices; and ye shall be taken away unto it ... But ye are turned aside out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.

But that is what our rabbis did, and sadly are still doing it! But, there is hope for us stay away from rabbinic rubbish, especially that sinful mystical and occultist, very evil manmade “Zohar / Kabbalah”, for it is evil and part of that ‘Safed’ Kabalistic cult. On this site there are a number of studies covering that manmade rubbish. However, having said all that, these days the are certain good rabbis around.

If you have been involved with the Kabbalah, please pray and seek forgiveness, for it can, or will certainly hurt you!

Remember what אֱלֹהִים – Elohim so clearly said the following ...

“Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith צְבָאוֹת- יְהוָה- the LORD of hosts”. Mal’a’chi - Malachi 3:7. MEC).

YYYYYYY

And Remember ...

Enjoy your Sabbath Rest, Shabbat Shalom!

אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, בְּחֻקּוֹתַי לֵכוּ; וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי שִׁמְרוּ, וַעֲשׂוּ אוֹתָם

“I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה (the LORD your God); walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and hallow My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - YaHVaH Elohim”. Yechezkel - Ezekiel 20:19-20. (JPS).
