And He Called

Lev. 1:1 5:26.

I. Wow! Right away this Parsha explodes with an intriguing enigma seen in the first

phrase of the verse that gives us our title: VaYikra and He called. Here is how it is

written. *Note the diminished Alef! Last year we looked at it from a

different angle, so lets see what Abba reveals now! Curiously, solving the puzzle

begins with the numbers! We know the value of Alef is 1. However, it is also seen in

the number 111 which is the total number of verses in this Parsha and the value of

the word aleph, 'alaph, itself. We know this is one of the two letters Yahshua

identified Himself with (Alef-Tav). In fact, we see Alef hidden in an anagram in a

unique place prophetically Is. 9: 6 where His name is called Wonderful, #6382,

pele', wonder, extraordinary, a hard thing to understand, to separate or

distinguish! This segues nicely with how the diminished Alef seems separated from

the letters Vav-Yod-Qof-Resh. The Vav serves as a conjunction and; this leaves the

letters which form the Hebrew word, #3365, yaqar, meaning to esteem, to bevaluable, splendor, and honor. It now becomes prophetical! Yahshua, the Alef the

Head, First, or Chief One, would be separated from His glory, splendor and His

esteem. In fact, Is. 53: 3 tells us we would notesteem Him. The gematria of esteem,

#2803, chashab, equals 310 the same as that of Yaqar! Coincidence? I think

not! If this is true how does it fit with the rest of this Parsha?

Tabernacle Sacrifices.

II. The rest of the Parsha deals with 4 specific sacrifices, the death/offering of which

purchased atonement on the behalf of Israel who were taught to esteem this

exchange through these rituals thus typifying the future offering of Messiah. Ps. 50:

11 15 adds a bit of clarity. Israel was not to think of the sacrifice as food for

YHVH, for He neither hungers nor eats. Rather, the worshiper was to offer to Himthe sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon Him in times of trouble, and thus He

would deliver the worshiper and the worshiper would honor Yah. It is quite

staggering when we count the Hebrew letters in these verses because when you

reach 111 the Alef it ends at the phrase, call upon me , uqrani thesame root word as our title, VaYiqra! The letters are the same with the exception of

7/29/2019 VaYikra 2013

2/6

an added Nun whose value is 50, meaning jubilee, to deliver. Nun is the letter

representing Life, restoration, and deliverance, which is what He promises in this

verse; to deliver us in the day of trouble! I think it would serve us well to examine

the specific types of offerings to see their pattern how they apply to us today.

A. Our first step is to look into the usage of the word offering Qorban, #7133,qorban, translated offering, oblation. It is from the root, qerab, which can

mean to come near, or approach, but also can also be a noun which infers formal

hostilities between people war: it also can infer the middle or interior, inner part,

such as the inner organs, bowels etc. Does this hint that those who approach the

altar to bring this gift do so because of hostilities between them and YHVH which

need to be resolved?

Burnt offering; #5930, `olah, the heart of this word hints at ascending,thus its connection to stairs or steps. Remember this was a twice-daily

sacrifice.J Morning & Evening! The skin of this sacrifice is given to thePriests as part of their portion. Now, lets camp out here for a bit:

This word is spelled the same as the word found in Gen. 3:7 #5929, `aleh,

translated leaves the material Adam and Eve sew, (#8609, taphar, to stitch or

sew together a garment) to cover themselves. If broken apart, the Tav prefix

indicates 3rd

person, future tense you shall, while the Pey-Resh root indicates thefruit of ones lips/mouth. They make themselves aprons, #2290, chagowr, abelt, loin girdle. [Chet-Gimmel spells chag, the word for festival, its origin infers to

tremble, or whirl while Vav-Resh-Hey indicates ore, light]. This happens just before

the Voice-Messiah, the , ET - Qol, comes walking in the cool-ruach-breath

of the day/evening. Is it possible this would have been the 2nd

visit of the day by the

Voice fulfilling the twice-daily pattern of the Olah sacrifice? And since Adam is the

High Priest, then it is fitting the Skin of the Olah offering would have been his!

Therefore he is clothed with this skin as seen in Gen. 3: 21!

Was it possible that Adam and Eve understood this principle and react by sewing

stitching together a series of leaves which like the Olah, representing the Word

of YHVH when lifted up would draw man elevate him, allow him to ascend back

to YHVH? Is it possible their words, the fruit of their mouths their confession of

Messiah, [for with the mouth confession is made unto salvation...Rom. 10:10] would

7/29/2019 VaYikra 2013

3/6

set a precedent where the loins of others could be covered by this same skin? (Eph.

6: 14) Job uses this word skin, #5786, owr, in the phrase; skin for skin, in the

exchange with Satan and YHVH a poetic way of saying life for

life. The skin did indeed represent the life/light of the one offered. Therefore, we see

a pattern in this Skin garment of The LIGHT-Ore, which trembles, vibrates orresonates like the breath of the Spirit, being offered to Adam & Eve Ruach in the

cool of the evening! The gematria of ET-Qol equals 537, the same as a word seen in

Ruth 3: 15, #4304, , mitpahat, a mantle or cloak worn by the Bride. He was

the SKIN GARMENT that is offered twice daily for Israel the Bride!

Interestingly, the same letters in taphar, sew, , can be rearranged to spell

#6622, pathar patar, a verb meaning to interpret. As in Josephs interpreting

dreams. The word for dream here, is #2492, chalam, which means to dream,

but it can also mean to restore to health! The connection to Joseph is doubly obvious

now as it means YHVH will do again, He will increase! Joseph would himself wear

this garment as would Messiah ben Yoseph! It would seem Adam & Eve knew the

Promise of Redemption and by stitching together the leaves they begin to

immediately remind YHVH of His Promise! Which is exactly what we find in Is. 43:

26, where were told to Put me in remembrance In fact, from verse 21 -28 the

context is a legal setting where He promises to blot out transgressions if we put Him

in remembrance with the offering of the Burnt Sacrifices just as He did for Adam

the first father who sinned.

Mincha, #4503, minchah, a gift, to bestow a grain offering. This was ablood-less offering. All other sacrifices require bloodshed and relate to the

restoration or commitment of the Body back to YHVH. These intimate a close

relationship with YHVH and how to maintain it. The slaughter offerings

presented a vicarious taste of what would rightfully have been his or her end,

had YHVH judged us strictly in accordance with His Torah and had He not

offered Himself up in Yahshua to be the slaughter offering for our sins. "The

wages of sin is death" the Scriptures tell us. However, this blood-less offering

is connected to the Soul as seen in Lev. 2:1 which is interpreted and when any

will offer, yet is seen better in Hebrew: When ones soul desires to offer the

word for soul, Nephesh, #5315, nephesh, the breathing substance, that

living part of man. It would seem this cheapest in cost of all offerings would

be the least desirable, yet it becomes the most significant in representing the

7/29/2019 VaYikra 2013

4/6

soul, mind, or breath of the one who is approaching Abba! Is it possible that

Paul references this Minchah in Rom. 12: 1, 2? Incidentally, the letters that

spell nephesh, when rearranged to form #8226, saphan, a verb meaning

to cover a treasure. The skin of the Olah, atoning the flesh, would cover the

treasure soul/mind of the one coming to YHVH, yet the soul would stillrequire a renewal by the choice of the individual. It would seem the Olah

offering would demonstrate a physical act of obedience, while the Mincha

involved the spirit/soul/mind wholly committed, thus becoming the highest

offering available even to those who have meager funds or abilities!

There is another deeper level as well. The letters of minchah can also spell#4264, machaneh, meaning camp, host or company. This word is used

in Ezek. 1: 24 to describe the sound of the Cherubim (who form the wheel

within the wheel) as that of a great host. The creatures remember, have theface of a Lion, Man, Ox, and an Eagle, the same picture as that of Israels

alignment around the Tabernacle! They also represent the 4-corners of the

Zodiac which forms a covering SKIN, a chuppah of protection over the

Bride of YHVH. In their physical alignment around the wilderness tabernacle

Israel represents this same skin of protection around the Soul/Breath/Womb

the intimate place known as the Tent of Meeting! While on a smaller scale, the

physical body of Adam itself had a skin that covered the intimate place the

nephesh!

Peace Offering, Shelamim Qarbano. In this particularritual the Priests and the one who offers it, share in the meat of this gift. Since

the Priest functions as Messiah our mediator, this represents a thanksgiving

offering to celebrate the Peace that we now have with Abba. It is a reminder

of the Prodigal Son who upon his return has the fatted calf killed on his

behalf. When you think of approaching YHVH, are you conscious of being

accepted or are you trying to be accepted? That is the difference between a

son and a slave. The offerings of Vayiqra were for sons, those who knew they

were accepted by the Almighty. The Peace offering was literally a meal withAbba! Rev. 3: 20 Behold I stand at the door and knockWe see the same

pattern in Ex. 24: 9 -11 where Moshe, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu and 70 Elders eat

this Peace offering with YHVH. There are a total of 74 individuals here:

which is the value of Hadassah, the Hebrew name of Esther the Hidden One,

who establishes peace for her people with the King! Hadassah means myrtle,

the tree whose branches are used to construct the Sukkah, the tent of meeting,

7/29/2019 VaYikra 2013

the SKIN or covering for the intimate place! Once again, connecting the dots

in our pattern!

Sin Offering, #2403, chatta'ath, specifically for those sins which werecommitted in ignorance. The basic definition means to miss the mark like anarrow which goes astray, it also hints to deviate from a path or to cross a

boundary. Ironically, Torah, which means teachings and instructions and is

from the root, yarah, #3384, indicating to teach or shoot as an arrow. Thus,

to sin is to stray from Torah or to not have been taught Torah. We must

remember that time is a boundary or path that the Sun/Son travels between

divine appointments. To cross or stray from this path (The Sabbath and/or

Festivals) whether ignorantly or intentional, puts us outside the boundary.

The root of chattaath is Chet-Tet-Alef, chata, to sin. Its gematria is 18 thevalue of the Hebrew word for life Chai. Both have the letter Chet, the

symbol of life, new beginnings and also a fence or place of protection. The

Torah provides that place. If one allows the Tet serpent access to the womb

instead of the Alef, then sin occurs. Tets value = 9. 1+8=9, 2x9=18. This

number 18 connects us back to the Mincha or grain/flour offering which

followed the Olah sacrifice daily. It must have NO leavening agent in it. The

Sages teach if the bread is left unattended for 18 minutes natural leavening

agents in the air will contaminate it! Should we watch over ourselves lest the

Prince of the Power of the Air infect us?

It is fitting the Alef is so prominent in this Parsha being diminished in our

Title - Vayikra, and in this word chata as well. Alef represents the Chief One,

the Ox-head in the Paleo. It was required to place ones hand upon the head of

the offering to be slain, thus transferring our sin and guilt to Him.

Trespass offering, #817, 'asham, the offering to atone for guilt, blameor transgression. Lev. 5: 6. Our English word ashamed derives from this

root. It could also be connected to Usury, the sin of charging interest on a

debt. How ironic that YHVH discharges debt when we confess our sin, yet the

enemy exacts his usury. The word for interest charged in Torah is: #5392,

neshek, interest, usury. It is spelled the same as the verb nasak, meaning

the bite of a serpent. Sin, death, sickness, etc. are the usury on the debt owed.

Though paid in full, while still in these fleshly bodies, we must apply the

trespass offering to satisfy this until the effects are completely eradicated. This

7/29/2019 VaYikra 2013

6/6

is seen in the encounter of Jacob and Esau where the latter falls upon his neck

to kiss/bite to exact interest for what was owed! Gen. 33: 4. Here we see in the

Hebrew text 6 dots above the phrase6 is the number of Man, the Vav-Man. Messiah became the Scapegoat bitten for our

sin. At Yom Kippur, the Day of Covering our sins, He would have a scarlet cord

(blood from the bite?) tied around His neck, along with a corresponding one in the

Temple. If YHVH accepted the repentance of the People the cord would turn white.
