In yesha’ yahu it talks more about what will happen in the Yisrealiets turn away from hime and what the other nation will do. I

King Chapters 1-6 summary.

In this summary, King David dies and King Shlomo( Solomon.) become king. Then Shlomo Maries the Pharos daughter but the people of Yisrael are still sacrificing to false gods. Then Yahoova appears to Shlomo in a dream and asks him for one thing that he wanted. Shlomo answered that he wanted wisdom and Yahoova was pleased whit his answer. Not only did Yahoova give him Wisdom he also gave him Many riches, a long life, and the death of all his enemies. Then to women come to Shlomo whit a situation One woman claim that the baby is her’s and the other one says the baby was hers. So Shlomo says to cut the baby in half so that each woman can have half the child. One of the women says go ahead will put an end to the argument. But the other says Please stop give the child to the other women. Before the sword meets the child Shlomo told him to stop. He said that The mother was the one who said to give the baby away for a true mother would rather see the safety of her child.

This last battle in Samuel is pretty interesting what do you guys think.

The way the land was divided was pretty cool. Why do you think it was divided like that?

(Summary of Joshua Chapters 1-24) The Book of Joshua is about the Yisraelites final able to go into the promised land. They faced many challenges one of many was the City of Yericho, which with the help of Yahoova they literally brought the walls of the city down. After the city fell Ai the ruler of Yericho sent 3,000 soldiers to go find the Yisrealites and kill them. But because the Nation of Yisreal had sinned they were not going to be able to defend against the incoming attack. Because of this Yahoova told them to go a purifie them selfs, so the did. Then Yahoova told them to send all their men who were able to fight against Ai. Even though the army was smaller than Ai’s Yahoova was on there side so the Yisrealites won. After that, they traveled east and once again fought against another king and one. Then we learn about all the nations that the Yisrealite pass through. Then when we do get to ht promised land we learn about how the land was to be divided between the 12 tribes. This is a very brief summary of the book of Joshua.

(Summary of Deuteronomy 17-20) In these chapters, we get a lot of information like what a king is supposed to act like, who is allowed in the promised land, what a Navi or prophet will be able to do. We also learn about the 3 cites set apart for accidental murders, how many people it takes to convict someone of a crime. And if the convicted is brought out of the city it talks about why he was brought out and what happens next.

Chapter 16 reiterates the festivals that Yahoova has made for us one of those feasts is coming up very soon. Pesach or Passover and the Feast of unleavened bread.. I can’t wait how about you guys.

The census of Yisrael after the plague was very interesting.

In chapter 27 it talks about renewing vows. I’m a little confused on how this works. What about you guys?

In today’s reading, we learn about all the Festivals/Feast that the Yisrilates are to preforms. I think that they are all pretty cool. But some of my favorites are Peshac/Passover and Sukkot/ Feat of tabernacles. What about you guys.

It’s a good thing Yahoova has all these ways if letting us become clean again or a lot of us would be unclean all the time.

I thought that all the rituals of the burnt offerings, the meal offerings, the sin offering ,the guilt offerings,offering if ordination, and the of well being are all really important. I wonder what it would be like if we did those offerings today.

I thought it was interesting that there are different types of sacrifice. Like the guilt Offerings. What about you guys?

I thought it was pretty cool that there are specific rule to sacrifice animals! What about you guys?

Today we learned about the Golden bull. Do you think the Yisreialtes planed to make the idol a bull, or do you think it was just a random thought?

Today we read that Yahoova gave specific instructions to the Yisrealites. Theses instructions were for a building. This build was know as the Tent of Meeting or the tabernacle. What do you think its purpose is?

In today’s reading it talks we learn about Mana. Yahoova gave it to the Yirealite to eat. What do you think it was like. What do you think it taste like.

I found it pretty interesting that the last plague was the angle of death. And the only way for there house hold not o be affected by the plague you had to do what Yahoo said. You had to kill a lamb and eat it then but it blood on the door post so that when Yahoova saw it he would Passover the house protecting it from the Angle of Death. This just show that even death has no power over Yahoova.

Yahoova told Moshe and Aharon to got tell Pharaoh to let Yahoovas people go but Pharaoh would not. After Pharaoh would say no Yahoova would send a plague to Egypt that affected all everyone in Egypt escape Yahoova s people. This happens many time, it even got to a time in witch Pharaoh said if he saw Moshe again he would kill him. After Pharaoh said this Yahoova said that he had one more plague for Egypt. What do you think that last Plague is?

In today’s reading Moshe and Aharon went to Pharaoh telling him to let Yahoova’s people go,but Pharaoh would not. In fact after Aharon and Moshe left Pharaoh told the Yisriltes to make the same amount of bricks but without any straw. They were not able to so the Yisrilites got beat more than usual. So Moshe asked Yahova why he was yet to deliver his people from Egypt. In response Yahoova said “You shall soon see what I will do to Pharaoh: he shall let them go because of a greater might; indeed, because of a greater might he shall drive them from his land.”. This means that Yahoova is going to do something to Pharaoh so horrible that he will have no chose to let them go. What do you think that something is going to be?

Today we start reading the second book in the Torah and Tanakh Shemot/ Exodus. Let’s get started. In today’s reading we learn that after Yisrael and his sons passed away the offspring of the 12 sons were in the land of Egypt. They were there for many generations. One day a Pharaoh noticed that there were more Yirsealites than his own people. So he ordered to kill all the male Hebrew newborns and let the girls live. This caused wide panic and chaos with soldiers coming into peoples houses to kill their male children. But one family got word of Pharaohs plan and took there son and put him in a basket and then put him in the river so that he may have a chance to live. The mother of the child sent one of here maids to follow the basket to make sure that nothing bad happened to it. On that same day the Pharaohs princess was bathing in the river and noticed a the basket she took the basket and opened into to find a baby boy in it. She took it to the Pharaoh and asked of she could raise it. The Pharaoh granted her wish and she immediately looked for someone to take care of him when she was not there. The maid who was following the basket said she knew a woman who could help and brought the baby’s mother there. The princess granted her wish and the mother began to watch the boy and tech him the ways of his people. The baby’s name Moshe meaning I drew him out of the water. And this is his story.

I find it interesting that Pharaoh let Yosef family stay in the the land of Egypt. I think that it was pretty cool that Pharaoh’s only request was when the harvest season came that they would asked him ⅕ of their harvest. Do you think it would be different if they went somewhere else

Today we learned the land were Yosef family were staying got affected by the Famine. So they did what anyone would do in a situation like this. Yisrael sent his sons to go find a land that had plenty of food and bring some of it back with them. Eventually they came across Egypt the only place not affected by the famine because Yosef interpreted the dream that Pharaoh had. The brother went to Yosef and asked then for food but they didn’t realize that they were talking to the brother they sold to the Egyptians. But Yosef knew who they were. So after they asked for food he put them through some test. I guess it was his way of getting back at them. Eventually he reviled who he was and the brother went back and brought there father and they lived in Egypt for a long time. I guess that there was something good underneath all those trials.

In today’s story we learn that Yosef got sold to an Egyptian. The Egyptian saw that yosef was a good servant and gave him power over his other slaves. Then his wife saw that Yosef was very handsome and she wanted him to sleep with him.But Yosef keep turning her down. Then one day she came up to Yosef and asked to sleep with her. She grabbed his coat and tried to coax him into sleeping with her. When she did this Yosef quickly took of his coat and ran outside the house. Then latter when Yosef’s higher up came back and she told him that Yosef rapped her and when he heard this he trough him into a prison cell. It seem like all theses bad thing are happening to him. Why do you think that Yahoova is letting all theses bad things happen.

In today’s reading we learn about one of Yisrial’s son (Yaakov), Yosef. We learn that Yosef had the ability to read dreams. This caused his brothers to be jellouis. One day Yisriel made yosef a coat of many color witch made his brother even more jealous. One day he told Yosef to go find his brothers. His brothers say him out in the field and planed a way to kill him. On of the brother said that was to harsh and decided they just detain him. So when Yosef got there they through him in a well. Then they saw some people selling slaves and they sold Yosef to them. Why do you think Yahoova let this happen?

I find it kind of funny how people will try to cheat you out of something but it backfires on them. For example in Genesis/Bereishit 30-31 we learn the Yaakov was told that he would get paid based on how many sheep and goats had speckled or dark fur. In this story we learn that Yaakov father in law goes through his flock and removes all the sheep/goat the have spekaled or dark fur. The we learn that Yaakov had a dream about this very situation. In that dream he hears Yahoova saying your father on law will say you will get paid by how many dark and spotted sheep/goat you have and vice versa. Then after he has this dream Yaakov take the sheep/ goats and took them to the rods and mated them so they would produces speckled sheep/goats. While all this was happening Yaakov’s father in law thought he was not going to have to pay Yaakov and he would stay with him four more years to pasture his flock. But as you all know this did not happen. In short people can try to mess with you but they cant mess with Yahoova.

Is it just me or does it seem that the people that Yahoova made a covenant with stress a lot about their sons getting a wife. For example Avraham wanted Yitzchak to have a wife but not a wife from the surrounding nations. He wanted to make sure Yitzchak wife was from his home land. And now Yitzchak wants to make sure that Yaakov get a wife but Yitzchak doesn’t want he to be from with in the land they are in but instead from Avrahams homeland. This may be because the women of the surrounding nations are wicked and evil women. Another reason may be because these women do not believe in Yahoova and might lead their husbands or even there children aways from Yahoova . Why do you think that fathers want to make sure there children have good wives?

Hey guys, all the chapters are starting to get more and more information adn I wont be able to cover it all. So from now on I will be covering at least one story that took place in the reading. I will also be trying a new formating styel

Todays stroy is going to take place in Genesis/ Bereishit 22:1-22 . In this we laern that Yahoova told Avraham to take his son and sacrifce him The next day Avraham took his son Yitzchak and went to the place he was to be sacrifsed. Now Yitzcahk didnt know what was going on he thougth that they were just going to make a regular old sacrifce. When they got to the place Avraham took all the suplies need to creat a mizbayach (Altar), well all but one thing. Yizchak new this and asked where was the lamb to be sacrifesed. And avraham responed Yahoova will provied one for us. I can hust imagen what was going on in Avraham’s head on the walk up the mountians. He was probley very sad and scared about what was going to happen to his son. Avraham was also probly thinking about the covent that Yahoova gave him. You know they one where he would be father of all nations, and his seeds were going to be like the dust on the earth. When they got to the top they set up the altar and when it was all set up he tied up Yitzchak and placed him on the altar. I can just imgaen what was goin on right now. Avraham probly had teiers running down his eyes as he picked up the knife to slay his son. It must of been hard for him to do that. But as he picked up the knife an angle came to him saying dont kill your son for now Yahoov knows you fear him. Can you imagen how relived Avraham must of been when he heared this.
Then Avraham looked up and saw that there was a ram stuck in a thicket of thorns. He took the ram and sacifeced it to Yahoova and becasue of this Yahoova blessed him and made sure that hishis desedents would be numoras. Saying Genesis/Bereishit 22:16-18 16 and said, “By Myself I swear, Hashem declares: Because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your favored one,17 I will bestow My blessing upon you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the sands on the seashore; and your descendants shall seize the gates of their foes.18 All the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed My command.”.

Hey guys the chapters aresarting to get more and more information and there is no way I will be able to cover everything. Like yesterday I will be covering one story instead of all 3 chapters. Yesterday in chapter 18 we learned that Yahoova was going to destroy Sodum and Gomora ( the place where Lot lives) because of all the evil thing they were doing. No when Yahoovs told Avram this he tied to get Yahoova to not destroy the city because Lot was living there. He pleaded and pleaded with him asking him if he would spare the city if there were 50 Yahoova fearing people there, he eventually got to spare the city for 10 people. Now in chapter 19 we hear the other side of the story.

We learned that two messengers came to Sodom and Lot asked them to join him in his house. At first they said that they would just sleep in the town square. But Lot coaxed them into joining them in his house. Then later that night the men of Sodom came to Lots house and shouted at his house saying bring us the two men that you took into your house tonight. Now keep in mind Lot and his family were the only people in Sodom who feared Yahoova and did what he said. The whole reason that the men wanted the two messenger to come out of the house was because they wanted to commit sexual immorality with them. Genesis 19:5-9 5 And they shouted to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may be intimate with them.”6 So Lot went out to them to the entrance, shut the door behind him,7 and said, “I beg you, my friends, do not commit such a wrong.8 Look, I have two daughters who have not known a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you please; but do not do anything to these men, since they have come under the shelter of my roof.”9 But they said, “Stand back! The fellow,” they said, “came here as an alien, and already he acts the ruler! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” And they pressed hard against the person of Lot, and moved forward to break the door. The men were so desperate to get the men in the house that they started to push their way through the door. This is what happens next.Genesis/Bereishit 19:10-25 10 But the men stretched out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.11 And the people who were at the entrance of the house, young and old, they struck with blinding light, so that they were helpless to find the entrance.12 Then the men said to Lot, “Whom else have you here? Sons-in-law, your sons and daughters, or anyone else that you have in the city—bring them out of the place.13 For we are about to destroy this place; because the outcry against them before Hashem has become so great that Hashem has sent us to destroy it.”14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Up, get out of this place, for Hashem is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law as one who jests.15 As dawn broke, the angels urged Lot on, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two remaining daughters, lest you be swept away because of the iniquity of the city.”16 Still he delayed. So the men seized his hand, and the hands of his wife and his two daughters—in Hashem‘s mercy on him—and brought him out and left him outside the city.17 When they had brought them outside, one said, “Flee for your life! Do not look behind you, nor stop anywhere in the Plain; flee to the hills, lest you be swept away.”18 But Lot said to them, “Oh no, my lord!19 You have been so gracious to your servant, and have already shown me so much kindness in order to save my life; but I cannot flee to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.20 Look, that town there is near enough to flee to; it is such a little place! Let me flee there—it is such a little place—and let my life be saved.”21 He replied, “Very well, I will grant you this favor too, and I will not annihilate the town of which you have spoken.22 Hurry, flee there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Hence the town came to be called Zoar.23 As the sun rose upon the earth and Lot entered Zoar,24 Hashem rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulfurous fire from Hashem out of heaven.25 He annihilated those cities and the entire Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities and the vegetation of the ground. So in this passage we learn that the two messengers pulled Lot into his house blinding the crowd of people outside. They telling him that Yahoova was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah and that they should leave. Lot went around his house trying to warn the, what was about to happen but the only people who would listen were his wife and his two daughters. Then they told them to go to the mountains. When Lot heard this he told Yahoova that he would not be able to make it to the mountains and asked if he could go to the nearest town and Yahoova granted his request and Lot and his family left. As they left he told them whatever you do don’t look back. As soon as they left Yahoova rained fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. This is what happened after that.Genesis/bereishit 19:26-30 26 Lot’s wife looked back, and she thereupon turned into a pillar of salt.27 Next morning, Avraham hurried to the place where he had stood before Hashem,28 and, looking down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and all the land of the Plain, he saw the smoke of the land rising like the smoke of a kiln.29 Thus it was that, when Hashem destroyed the cities of the Plain and annihilated the cities where Lot dwelt, Hashem was mindful of Avraham and removed Lot from the midst of the upheaval.30 Lot went up from Zoar and settled in the hill country with his two daughters, for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar; and he and his two daughters lived in a cave.
There is a good side to this story. In this story we learned that when Yahoova says something we have to do it. When Yahoova says don’t go back to something that you know is wrong. In short don’t turn yourself into a pillar of salt.

Genesis/Bereishit 13-14

After Avram and Sarai left Egypt they traveled towards Negev with there cousin Lot. Now Avram had a lot of Cattle, Gold, and Silver witch made him very rich. When they got to Negev(Desert) they traveled to Beit El. They set up there tents in between two town, Beit El and Ai. What is cool is that prior to coming to Beit El he had made a mizbayach (Altar) there in the name of Yahoova. Now while they were there Avram and Lots shepherds and Cattlemen were arguing because the land was not able to support both their flocks. When Avram heard of this he went to Lot saying Genesis/Bereishit 13:8-9 8 Avram said to Lot, “Let there be no strife between you and me, between my herdsmen and yours, for we are kinsmen.
9 Is not the whole land before you? Let us separate: if you go north, I will go south; and if you go south, I will go north.” Just like that Avram told Lot that they were going to split up. This is what happen next. Genesis/Bereishit 13:10-18 10 Lot looked about him and saw how well watered was the whole plain of the Yarden, all of it—this was before Hashem had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—all the way to Zoar, like the garden of Hashem, like the land of Egypt. 11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Yarden, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they parted from each other;12 Avram remained in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled in the cities of the Plain, pitching his tents near Sodom.13 Now the inhabitants of Sodom were very wicked sinners against Hashem.14 And Hashem said to Avram, after Lot had parted from him, “Raise your eyes and look out from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west,15 for I give all the land that you see to you and your offspring forever.16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, then your offspring too can be counted.17 Up, walk about the land, through its length and its breadth, for I give it to you.”18 And Avram moved his tent, and came to dwell at the terebinths of Mamre, which are in Chevron; and he built a mizbayach there to Hashem.
Now let assess the situation. Lot got very beautiful land, it had a lot of farmland and room for hid animals.But it was full of people who did not believe in Yahoova. Avram got the not so pretty land that wasn’t very suitable for animals. But Yahoova said to Avram once again that he was going to make a nation out of his seed. He said that there numbers are going to be as much as the dust on the earth.
Now in chapter 14 we learn that there was a big conflict going on where 5 kings were fighting 4 kings and the 4 king lost. When the 5 kings came to loot they took everything and everyone. Then a fugitive (someone who escaped prison) came and told Avram that Lot got taken in a raid. When Avram heard this he took 318 of his men and went to purse the kings. Avram and his men beat the kings men and took all there stuff back to sodom where they belong, including Lot. Then King Melchizedk came out and thanked him for what he did. Then Avram decided to give him 10% of all he had. Then the king of Sodom came out and told him that he could keep all the possession that the 5 kings took from them just give him his people. Now if most of us heard this we would do what the king wanted and been on out way. But Avram did not so that. He told the king to take back all his stuff so because Avram did not want people saying that the reason he was so rich was because someone gave all these riches. See most of us would say that was a really bad decision. I mean come on who would not want to be really rich right away. But Avram wanted everyone one to know that he got to where he was because of himself and the blessing Yahoova gave him.These are all my thought on the passages to day.

Genesis/Bereishit 11-12

In chapter 11 we learn that all the nations of the earth tried to build a giant tower to make a name for themselves. Then Yahoova (God) came down and saw that this was not good and went down and confused there languages so that they could not talk to one another. Then Yahoova scattered the people all across the earth.
Then at the end of chapter we learn about a man name Avram (abram) and his wife Sarai. Then in chapter 12 we learn that Yahoova is going to make Avram into a great nation. Then Yahoova told Avram and Lot (His cousin )to leave Haran (Lots grandFather). While Avram and Lot are traveling Yahoova told them to go through egypt.When they got to egypt and Avram got scared that if the pharaoh found out that Avram was Sarai his wife they would kill him and take Sarai as pharaoh’s wife.He told her that if they ask who she was to him to say that she was Avrams sister. Eventual pharaoh saw Sarai and she was taken to his palace. Then YAhoova sent a plague to pharaoh’s household because pharaoh tried to take Sarai as his wife. When pharaoh found out that Sarai was Avrams wife he called Avram to his palace He got mad a Avram saying Genesis/Bereishit 12:18-2018 Pharaoh sent for Avram and said, “What is this you have done to me! Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now, here is your wife; take her and begone!” 20 And Pharaoh put men in charge of him, and they sent him off with his wife and all that he possessed.
Can you imagine that you had to tell your wife to pretend to be your sister so you would not die. It’s a good thing that Yahoova cared about Avram and Sarai or pharaoh was going to have a new queen. Well these are my thought on the passages today.
