Sh’lach
Numbers 13:1-15:41
In this Torah Portion, what does the name Hoshea mean? is there Hebrew slang in the Torah? What is God’s perspective of forgiveness? Caleb and Jesus went into the land? What does it mean to sin with an uplifted hand? Also, beware of the tzit tzit police!

My previous comment lacked the reference to Ezekiel 47:21 – 22. These verses specifically mention the ‘foreigner’ receiving land along with the Israelites. I find this so fascinating and wonder why I have never heard this before. I have been in the Sabbath keeper fellowship (lack of better terminology) for 6 or 7 years and was a United Methodist for double that. Is this a taboo subject? The rabbinical explanation that I read was that Caleb was not really a kenazzite – his father was merely described as a hunter. Is this explanation plausible? Or is this an attempt to stress that gentiles were NOT included in the covenant with Yehovah?

Hi Fellows,
I am new to your show and love it! Thank-you for providing great info on the Torah readings.
My question is this: It was said that Yah gave Caleb an inheritance in the promised land and that because he was not an Israelite this was a reward for being faithful to Yehovah. Caleb was considered a leader in the Tribe of Judah. Why would he not be granted land WITH the tribe? Are we sure that the gentiles were not already joined to a tribe and even counted in the census as such? I am thinking Jeremiah may have some answers to this when he talks about the world to come. What say you?
Thank-you,
Rhonda Thompson,O.D.
