Parsha Bereshit ~ Gen 1:1 – 6:8
Haftarah: Isaiah 42:5 – 43:11
Brit Chadashah: John 1:1-14; Col.
1:15-17
10/29/16 ~ Bereishit
Genesis 1:1 – 6.8 ; Isaiah 42:5 – 43:10
- Relationship between man and the garden.
o
Vegetation
dependent on rain for growth (& man?)
- Parsh - a – (paragraph) to separate and spread out; to divide out / to consume (in taking of the word of Yah)
- Sidra – he who stands at the door
- After Adam ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge…when Yah called for him…Adam HID himself, trying to become invisible. To try and make himself…naught.
- After ALL that Adam / Eve did…Yah embraced man. Punishment, yes, but Yah clothed man and, even in the face of man’s disobedience, Yah made sure that man knew he would not be alone.
- Point of Bereishit…just to believe in Yah. Belief that He created me…and re-created me. Our year is new now because we begin the Torah cycle again, NOT that we begin the Torah cycle again b/c it’s a new year.
10/14/17 ~
- Deut. 31:10-13 ~ At the end of every 7 years (at Feast of Tabernacles), read the Torah in everyone’s hearing.
o
Year
– Not the same as in Hebraic thinking…Aviv begins the year.
o
3
Great Feasts are seen as a YEAR, also.
§ Shena - End means to change over
or repeat (as in starting the Torah cycle again).
- All patterns set in the beginning of Genesis, which repeats throughout the Bible.
o
Seth
replaces Abel, NOT Cain.
o
Man
began…corruption began.
Isaiah 42:5 – 43:11 ~
- Haftarah – means to open up / release. Have the seed from Genesis (and now will see the opening up of the seed).
- Isaiah 42:1-4 ~ Picture of the Mashiach.
- Create, Light, Called forth, Spread forth… Breath, Spirit
Discussion:
- Comparison of Adam/Eve & Cain: (Which was the GREATER sin? Sin against God or Sin against Brother?)
o
Adam
& Eve:
§ NOT cursed! (Serpent WAS cursed!!
– Gen 3:14)
§ Had a consequence…cursed is the
ground, etc. (Gen 3:17)
§ Hid from Yah’s presence
§ Yah covered them!!! (Gen 3:21)
o
Cain:
§ WAS cursed!! (Gen 4:11)
§ Murderer (against Brother)!
§ Left Yah’s presence (Gen 4:16)
·
Was
HIDDEN from Yah (Gen 4:14)
- Adam’s sin…
o
First
sin…sin of OMISSION (failure to do something…) – didn’t guard the House (Beit).
§ Yah told him to guard the garden
(House).
§ Failed to cover his wife.
§ Failed to guard the House ~
o
Gen.
3:7 ~ Interesting! After they BOTH had
eaten of the fruit, we are told their eyes were opened.
§ I think this is confirmation that
Adam could have ‘covered’ Eve’s sin before Yah, with a very different outcome!
- Gen. 2:18 ~ ‘helper’ - # 5828 – ezer; ‘for him’ - # 5048 – in front of him (looking at him to see what is at his back)
- Shabbat (Gen 2:3 & Job 1:6)
o
First
thing Yah made HOLY!
10/6/18:
From FFOZ…

Tz’enah
Ur’enah says, “Man was created on the sixth day, for within six thousand years
the Messiah will come.” The book of Hebrews compares the age to come to the
Sabbath and speaks of the Sabbath as a foretaste of final salvation and the
Messianic Era. The book of Revelation speaks of a coming millennium of peace—a
thousand-year reign of Messiah during which the adversary is bound in chains.
The Apostle Peter reminds us that “with the Lord one day is like a thousand
years, and a thousand years like one day” (2 Peter 3:8).
o
Why
doesn’t it say in regard to the Sabbath “and there was evening and there was
morning” like it does for the other days? Because the Sabbath alludes to the
world to come, and it is called the day that is completely Shabbat, and there
is no night. (MinchahBelulah)
