Essential Studies.
Leviticus 16:5-10, The scapegoat ceremony
Additional studies: Leviticus Index
The “scapegoat” ceremony is ancient, Gesenius even, while commenting on its antiquity, rebukes those who would say that YHVH derived His commandments from ancient practices. Rather, I am finding, that many Torah practices predated Sinai (such as Cain and Abel knowing how to bring an acceptable sacrifice, or Noah knowing which animals were clean and unclean) and were known as the ways of Adonai. Abraham kept the ways of Adonai, and taught them to his children.
Psalm 74, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Psalms Book Three (73-89) Index
All prosperity and success of the wicked is temporary, as is all oppression and humiliation of the just. The enemy will not blaspheme forever. In the little time that is left, Father, may a spirit of wisdom and understanding come upon Your enemies, and may they see truth and repent of wickedness! May You work salvation in the midst of the earth, even for them, I ask in faith in the name of Yeshua. So be it! ♥
