Shemot 2012

B. Scott 1/14/12

With quite a large portion (Exodus 1:1-6:1), Shemot Names or the book of Exodus as it is also known, starts with big problems (Israel in bondage in Egypt and the ordered murder of the baby boys) but provides even bigger miracles (the placing of Moses within Pharaohs own house and later calling as the deliverer of the Israelites). And amongst all these things, from the opulence of Egypt, to the backside of a desert, to the life changing conversation at the burning bush, is the reminder that Yahweh has not forgotten! He did not forget his chosen in Egypt and He will not forget those who are His today either but will redeem you with a mighty hand from the four corners of the earth. Its within this Torah portion, that we glean some key insights into how we are to conduct ourselves as we prepare to come out of her my people and deal with a Pharaoh who does not know Joseph! Exodus 1:1 - 6 *Notice the unique order that the names are listed here it is not their birth order, but instead they are listed according to who their mother is, by the wives of Jacob. First Leahs children, then Rachels, Bilhahs, and finally Zilpahs. The focus is put upon the wife/bride. It is also no accident that this is the 13th Torah portion of the year. The 13th letter of the Hebrew AlephBet = the womb, the chaotic waters of the womb. This is significant because the womb is the vessel/container for the seed (DNA/Word of Yahweh)! Names: Strongs #8034 shem name; from #7760 suwm to put, place, set, appoint, or to make The gematria of Shemot 746 = ,the same value as the phrase Et HaShem Aleph Tav the Name; and the same as natsarot the plural of Strongs #5341 natsar to guard, to watch over/watch, keep, to preserve, guard from dangers, to be kept close, or to be blockaded. Its used in Exodus 34:7 Keeping (natsar) mercy for thousands. Mercy: Strongs #2617 checed 1 ) goodness, kindness, faithfulness 2) reproach, shame; Thousands: Strongs #505 eleph a thousand, company; from #502 alph to learn, to teach Is it possible that here in Shemot, revealed within the Hebrew is the intent of Yahweh to guard and preserve the Aleph Tav referring to the Messiah, referring to His language (the entire alephbet) as well as His seed/DNA and His Name, by blockading it and closing it up in order to keep it from being brought to shame? And yet at the same time He causes the Bride to come into a position to learn and be taught of these very same things because of 1

His mercy, becoming a vessel that houses it? Lets continue to look and see! *1st time eleph ( thousands) is seen is in Genesis 20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold I have given thy brother a thousand (eleph, from the root meaning to learn/teach) pieces of silver: behold he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. This is after Sarah has been in the house of Abimelech, just as Israel is now in the house of Egypt and are about to be delivered out as well. Silver: Strongs #3701 keceph silver, money = like, as & 2 = letter root meaning doorkeeper, to guard the thresh hold Abraham becomes a covering of the eyes. Eyes: Strongs #5869 ayin eye, spring, fountain, also symbolic of a womb! 70 = ,the # of souls listed as coming out of the loins of Jacob (Exodus 1:5). *The opening of the eyes in Genesis 3 went hand in hand with the defilement of the womb and access to the Tree of Life being restricted, but here we are taught of a covering for the womb that will act as a doorkeeper, guard the threshold of Jacobs descendants in Egypt! Sounds like the Passover lambs blood! Exodus 1:15 -17 Midwives: Strongs #3205 yalad to bear, bring forth, beget, gender, travail; to cause or help to bring forth; midwives ( as conjugated here lameyaldot/to the midwives) = 514, same as Strongs #4142 muwcabbot to be turned, surrounded, set Exodus 28:11, 39:6, & 39:13 all have this term connected to the stones of the High Priest breastplate that are engraved with the shemot/names and describing how they are set/enclosed in gold! From the root #5437 cabab to turn, turn about/around/aside/back/towards, surround, encircle; to change or transform Stools: Strongs #70 oben wheel, disc, literal translation renders it the two stones; from #68 eben stone, term used to describe the stones of the breastplate! It comes from the root #1129 banah to build, rebuild, cause to continue, to establish a family these stones/stools are connected to a family being established Exodus 28:12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod [for] stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Yahweh upon his two shoulders for a memorial. Shoulder: Strongs #3802 katheph shoulder, shoulder blade, side, slope; Gematria = 500, same as catham (#5640) to stop

up, shut up, keep close, to hide; this same word is used in the instructions given to Daniel shut thou up the vision (Dan. 8:26) and shut up the word (Dan. 12:4); 500 is also the value of the phrase Be fruitful and multiply peru urevu Memorial: Strongs #2146 zikrown memorial, reminder, remembrance; from #2142 zakar to remember, recall, call to mind = pure, clean (#2134) & = ringing cry, shout for joy; zakar is also the term used to describe the Passover Lamb. *In the Hebrew we begin to see that the duty of the midwives was to seal up/shut up the Word of Yahweh from those who would seek to change it and transform it (cabab mess with the DNA), yet the shemot/names upon the stone, the remnant that would become the bride, would remember and call it to mind causing them to be fruitful and multiply! The midwives were teaching the Torah/Word the covering that would cover/cleanse their womb bringing them out of Egypt just as Sarah was brought out of the house of Abimelech! The midwives speak the Word/Torah proclaiming the zakar the Passover Lamb/Messiah! The covering of the lamb would then cause Israels cry and shout to become pure and clean! Gematria of Shiphrah = 585 & Gematria of Puah = 161 585 + 161 = 746, the same value as Shemot! *746 7 + 46 = 53 = eben stone and gan garden, enclosure (from the root meaning to defend, cover, and surround); these eben stones are connected with Eden! Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Elohim; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. These stones later are given for the breastplate of the High Priest, engraved with the names of the tribes, representing the seed line or the very DNA of Yahweh (the building blocks for building a family children). 1 Peter 2:5 describes you as lively stones just like these stones, representing the house of Yahweh encoded/enscribed with His Word/DNA! The serpent at one point had access to these stones (but not all of them, some are missing!) but the rightful wearer is Messiah. Hence the reason the enemy does everything he can to alter your DNA an attempt to gain access back to these eben/building blocks! *Exodus 25:7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate. Breastplate 91 + 358 Ephod 449 = ,value of

tallit the covering! 449 has the same simple gematria as the value of shemot (746) = 8 New Beginnings! There is a covering offered to these stones (Bride/house) the tallit! In Hebrew wedding customs the groom wraps His tallit around his bride and himself, Messiah has done the same offering a new beginning to the one who has been in the house of another husband! Shiphrah: Strongs #8236 Shiphrah fair, brightness, beauty, clearness; from #8231 shaphar to be pleasing, beautiful, fair, comely, bright, to glisten Cognate of #8237 shaphruwr canopy, royal pavilion, refers to a covering structure of some kind placed in context over a specific set of stones, indicating ownership and ruler ship in that spot (Jeremiah 43:10), this term comes from the root #8231 the tallit covering the eben declaring who their rightful husband is! Cognate of shofar represents the voice of Yahweh Puah: Strongs #6326 Puwah splendid, from an unused root meaning to glitter; this name is only 1 letter different from Pharaoh as is the name Shiphrah Puah has the and Pharaoh has the Shiphrah has the but not the Shiphrah/Puah = or 306, value of ishshah woman, wife (connected to esh meaning fire the eben stones were referred to as stones of fire) & Pharaoh = these 2 letters compose the word ra meaning evil, bad, misery, distress *The voice of Yahweh (Shiphrah) would become a canopy, a covering or pavilion (a tallit), over the stones (shemot/names upon the stones Israel) protecting the ishshah/wife or Bride from Pharaoh the one seeking to bring misery and distress the one who would attempt to change the DNA/Word of Yahweh! These stones upon the ephod were onyx stones. *The term onyx is first mentioned in Genesis 2:12 And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the onyx stone. Its referring to the land of Havilah where the river Pison flows. Pison: Strongs #6376 Piyshown increase or Great Diffusion; from #6335 puwsh to spring about, to be scattered, spread, to be strong; suffix though means to diminish, to make small; one who would seek to make small and diminish the increase Havilah: Strongs #2341 Chaviylah circle; from #2342 chuwl to twist, whirl, dance, travail, bear, bring forth, or to be born Chaviylah shares the same two letter root ( )as the name Eve/Chavvah next is the letter meaning my (when used as a 4

suffix) then meaning to her (Kleins). Putting this together = to her, my Eve! This is a message to her, my Eve, the bride! Onyx: Strongs #7718 shoham a precious stone, or gem; its spelled with the same letters as HaShem and Mosheh Moses: Strongs #4872 Mosheh drawn, from #4871 mashah to draw; more accurate translation is one from whom water is drawn The same letters of Mosheh spell HaShem the Name! Breaking down his name: = from, out of, the womb & = Seh, lamb The name Mosheh became a prophetical declaration that HaShem (the Name) which had been concealed/hidden would be revealed again and the womb of the Bride would be given a covering by the lamb. *When one seeks to diminish and make small the increase and birthing of the Seed of Yahweh (exactly what Pharaoh seeks to do by compromising the womb, exactly what the last day Pharaoh will do as well) then the Bride is reminded of the onyx stone the covering of the lamb that guards and protects her and HaShem the name which she is charged with carrying on!

The Calling of Moses

It is no coincidence that Moses, the chosen deliverer of Israel from Egypt, is given 3 signs by Yahweh all dealing with the revealing again of the Name of Yahweh and the purifying of their cry/tongue! Exodus 3:13 -15 the name is revealed! I Am: Strongs #1961 hayah to be, become, exist (The Existing One, the One who was, is, and is to come); the first time hayah is seen is in Genesis 1:2 &3 And the earth was (hayah) without form and void & Let there be (hayah) light a reference to the womb in darkness (desolate and empty) but the owr/light of Yahweh is spoken forth! The same thing is about to take place in Egypt the light of Yahweh is again about to spoken forth into the womb! Owr/light 207 = ,same value as Eddabar I shall speak & barah pure = I will speak pure! The revealing again of the name (equivalent to the light being declared again) would cause the Bride to speak pure a purified language/tongue/mouth the result of the covering provided by the lamb! Now lets look at the 3 signs as well! 1. Exodus 4:1 4 Tail: Strongs #2180 zanab tail, end, stump; from #2179 zanab to cut off; same word is used in Isaiah 9:15 The ancient and honorable, he [is] the head; and the prophet that teacheth 5

lies, he [is] the tail (zanab). Its a sign that the seed of the serpent was about to be cut off! The mouth that teaches lies and deceptions would be silenced (Pharaoh = the mouth/ speaking misery, distress, and evil/ )as Yahweh put His words into the mouth of Israel! 2. Exodus 4:6 7 Leprosy is associated with words that are spoken as well! It is seen as the judgment for lashon hara/the evil tongue (an example being seen in the life of Miriam). This sign as well points to Israels deliverance out of Egypt being connected with their mouth/tongue/speech being restored/corrected/healed! Bosom: Strongs #2436 cheyq bosom, hollow, bottom, or midst; ) #2706) statute, ordinance, limit, something prescribed (the decrees or commandments of Yahweh); #2416) )life the way this happens is when they put themselves back into the commandments of Yahweh that bring chai/life! 3. Exodus 4:9 Dry: Strongs #3004 yabbashah dry land, dry ground; from #3001 yabesh to make dry, wither, be dried up. The living water (Word) would become a blood covering (Lambs blood/Messiahs) poured upon the dry withered bones of the house bringing life!!
