The title of this week‟s parasha is Vayikra or „And He Called’. The root

word comes from H7121 קר qa ra kaw-raw'

A primitive root (rather identical with H7122 through the idea of accosting a person met); to call out to (that is, properly address by name, but usedin a wide variety of applications): - bewray [self], that are bidden, call (for,forth, self, upon), cry (unto), (be) famous, guest, invite, mention, (give)name, preach, (make) proclaim (-ation), pronounce, publish, read,renowned, say. to meet. Also a chance encounter. III. Read: To read ascroll in the presence of those called to a meeting. [freq. 883] (vf:

In the opening statements of Va yikra, contained in the Stone‟sEdition Artscroll Tanach, we read that

“[T]he English language does not have a word that accuratelyexpresses the concept of a K orban. The word „sacrifice‟ implies that theperson bringing it is expected to deprive himself of something valuable—

but God finds no joy in His children‟s anguish or derivation. „Offering‟ ismore positive and closer to the mark —indeed, we use it in our translation—

but it too falls far short of the Hebrew Korban. Does God require our giftsto appease Him or assuage His anger?



Lev.1:1 6:7 Isa.43:21 44:23 Heb.10:1 14

4 | P a g e

‘if you have acted righteously, what have you given Him?‟(Job 35:7); God does not become enriched by man‟s largess (generous giving).

The root of the word is „qura‟, to come near. The person

bringing an offering comes closer to God; he elevates his level ofspirituality. That is the true meaning of the word and the significance of theact.”

“Wherever the Torah speaks of the offerings, it uses the Four-letterName of God that signifies His mercy . The offerings are the means He gives us to rejuvenate ourselves, to provide us a means to bring

elevation and purity into our lives. It is when man serves God thisway that he finds the offering to be a satisfying aroma.”(Artscroll Tanach, p. 243)

There‟s a tremendous lesson to be understood here beloved. As wedesire to draw near unto The Father, we must seek His Kingdom andHis Righteousness, not our own (Mt.6:33)—His Way, not mine. Andin so doing we discover in the Temple Service, the way He wants Hispeople to draw near to Him was outlined in the sacrificing of the

spotless pure animals without defect. All of this is well and good, butif we miss the heart of the meaning, then there‟s No Application. What we need to understand is that the Sacrificial system designedand employed by The Father wasn‟t for Himself!

It was for man to have a way to DRAW NEAR TO HIM. YHVHcreated a way for us to be involved in the process of drawing near.

Another point to bring to bear: The Father met Moshe‟ and spoke tohim from inside the Tent of Meeting.



Lev.1:1 6:7 Isa.43:21 44:23 Heb.10:1 14

5 | P a g e

Also called the Tent of Communion, The Ohel Moed actually meansThe Tent of Appointed Time and Place of Meeting. This shouldremind us of one of the important principals YHVH is continuouslyteaching His people. A nd that is that He‟s established Time and Space, andtherefore since He created these two dimensions for creation to operate

within, He desires us to move, to gather, and to rest according to His Appointed Feasts, His Holy Miqras, or Rehearsals.

We are identified, as spoken by Apostle Paul in 1Corinthians chaptersix, to be a Temple of His Ruach HaKodesh, or Holy Spirit. He does thesaving, but He‟s created us to apply His word to our lives by virtue of thefact that He created us to be appointed unto good works (Eph. 2:10).

David Stern in his commentary on the Jewish New Testament points outthat „[m]ere mental ascent to doctrines or to the fact of Yeshua‟sMessiahship is not sufficient for salvation, for Ya‟akov (the book of James)says,

26 Indeed, just as the body without a spirit is dead, so too faithwithout actions is dead. (Jam 2:26 CJB)

„A favorite saying of the Rav was: „In the Olam Haba (the world to come)there is neither eating or drinking…but the righteous…get their enjoymentin the glory of the Sh‟khinah, as it says, [spec. verse 11] (Stern, p.451).

9 Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy ofthe elders of Israel,

10 and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet thereappeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.11 Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the

sons of Israel; and they beheld God, and they ate and drank. (Exo 24:9-11 NAS)

I share this with you because the Tent of Meeting in Moshe‟s day was

built to allow man the opportunity to be involved with building a place where the presence and the Glory of YHVH could dwell. He provided Israel with everything they needed and more (Gold, Silver, Copper, Jewels, yarn,Linen, Acacia wood, The Spirit of Wisdom to craft the items on the

blueprint). And when it was done, according to His Word, it was stunning,



Lev.1:1 6:7 Isa.43:21 44:23 Heb.10:1 14

and His presence descended upon the Ohel Moed, down into the Holy ofHolies directly atop the Ark of the Testimony; and His presence was sothick, so heavy that no one could enter! But since we‟re talking about„offerings‟

DOES GOD NEED A RAM? DOES HE NEED A BULL? HOW ABOUT A GOAT, OR A PIGEON? A LAMB?

~NONE OF THE ABOVE~

We read at the beginning of this week‟s parasha, chapter one, verses 1 & 2(Locate & to be Read Aloud).

Here is where we are introduced for the first time in scripture a new word for offering. Up until now we have witnessed several types mentionedearlier, and actually all of the ones mentioned in this parasha have beenpreviously mentioned too— which should alert us to something— was

YHVH‟s method of drawing near through the sacrificial system revealedfirst here in the book of Vayikra once the Tabernacle had been built?

Turn to The Scriptures: Gen.4:3 (Offering/Minchah). Gen.22:2(Offering/Olah). Exo.29:14 (Offering/Chattath).

CJBHebrews 1 :1 For the Torah has in it a shadow of the good things

to come, but not the actual manifestation of the originals. Therefore,it can never, by means of the same sacrifices repeated endlessly yearafter year, bring to the goal those who approach the Holy Place to

offer them.2 Otherwise, wouldn't the offering of those sacrifices have ceased?

For if the people performing the service had been cleansed once andfor all, they would no longer have sins on their conscience.

3

No, it is quite the contrary- in these sacrifices is a reminder ofsins, year after year.4 or it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats

should take away sins.5 This is why, on coming into the world, he says, "It has not beenyour will to have an animal sacrifice and a meal offering; rather,



Lev.1:1 6:7 Isa.43:21 44:23 Heb.10:1 14

7 | P a g e

you have prepared for me a body.6

No, you have not been pleasedwith burnt offerings and sinofferings.

7 Then I said, 'Look! In thescroll of the book it is

written about me. I have cometo do your will.'"

(Heb 10:1-7 CJB)

Pointing out here in Hebrews we confirm that which we already knowto be true, and that is that the blood of bulls and goats cannot take awaysins. Because all of the sacrificial system established by YHVH was only a„Shadow of the Good Things to come!‟ (Heb.10:1).

But what it does teach as pointed out by the writer of Hebrews, who isactually referring back to the Tanach in this passage to the Psalmist‟sprayer in the 40th psalm, that these things that we DO are reminders &

opportunities YHVH has created to afford us the opportunity to experiencedeeper intimacy with Him! Let‟s briefly examine the fortieth Psalm:

6 Sacrifice and meal offeringThou hast not desired;

My ears Thou hast opened ;Burnt offering and sin offering

Thou hast not required.7 Then I said, "Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book

it is written of me;8 I delight to do Thy will,O my God; Thy Law is within my heart."

(Psa 40:6-8 NAS)



Lev.1:1 6:7 Isa.43:21 44:23 Heb.10:1 14

8 | P a g e

In the book of Hebrews we read in chapter 10 verse 5, “You haveprepared for me a body. Stern in his own commentary again reveals “theline differs significantly from the second line of the Hebrew text translatedabove, which is, literally, “You have dug my ears (Psa.40:6),‟ and is usuallyunderstood to mean that God has opened this person‟s ears so that he will

be able to hear The Torah better and thus be better able to carry out itscommands [Shema ]…for the point on both is that the person is entirelyready to do God‟s will and obey his Torah” (You Have Prepared for Me aBody, p.703)

The point beloved to all of this is to say that as we explore these varioussacrifices, none of them could take away sin, YHVH had created the

sacrificial system FOR MAN, to impress upon our heart that we fall short of YHVH‟s HOLY Standard, but that He has given us a shadow of the betterthings to come, that being of Messiah— who is our spotless and pure Lamb

who according to the writer of Hebrews tells us,

Heb 10:10 “By the which will we are sanctified through the offeringof the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth

daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which cannever take away sins: But this man (Yeshua), after he had offered one

***sacrifice for sins*** for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; (Heb.10:10-12)

He offered One Sacrifice for Sins… what are we to gain from this? Yes Yeshua offered One Sacrifice for Sins, so we no longer have to continuouslyoffer the blood of bulls and lambs and rams to atone for our sins. But if werefer to the text of the portion there are several types of offerings are there

not? So, what are the different types of sacrifices? Let‟s observe:



Lev.1:1 6:7 Isa.43:21 44:23 Heb.10:1 14

2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When any man of youbrings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering ofanimals from the herd or the flock.3 'If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shalloffer it, a male without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway ofthe tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD.(Lev 1:2-3 NAS)

±œlâ. Burnt offering, burnt sacrifice. ASV and RSV similar.This noun occurs 286 times in the OT. The usual

explanation for the common rendering "burnt offering" is thatthe smoke from the offering goes up or ascends to God. However, sincethere are other sacrifices which were burned, it seems probable that thereis some further concept involved in the use of ±œlâ to describe this sacrifice.The key appears to be that alone among the Israelite sacrifices the ±œlâ iswholly burned, rather than partially burned and eaten by the worshipersand/or the priest. Thus, the whole animal is brought up to the altar andthe whole is offered as a gift (minµâ, q.v.) in homage to Yahweh.

Whole offering would be a better rendering in English to convey the

theology of the ±œlâ. It is indeed burned, but the burning is essentiallysecondary to the giving of the whole creature to Yahweh.

9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw theland, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that theyshould not go into the land which the LORD had given them.10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he sware,saying,11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twentyyears old and upward, shall see the land which I sware untoAbraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not whollyfollowed me:12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son

of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.(Num 32:9-12 KJV)

2 And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall takethereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof,with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn thememorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a

sweet savour unto the LORD:3 And the remnant of the meat offering shall be

Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of theofferings of the LORD made by fire.4 And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in theoven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, orunleavened wafers anointed with oil.5 And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall beof fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

(Lev 2:2-5 KJV)[Both Abel and Cain offered a minµâ to the Lord (Gen 4:4-5). But whereas itis said of Abel that he offered the choicest portions of the animals to theLord, an act reflecting his heartfelt commitment to him, it is merely said ofCain that he offered a minµâ from the fruit of the ground. The Lord rejectedthis formality. Cain's lack of true submission (note also his bloodlesssacrifice) issued finally in sinful behavior (Gen 4:7ff). R.L.H.] These uses ofminµâ indicate that the term does not mean an animal sacrifice in thespecific sense.H4503
