The Menorah and the Olive Oil

• While other cultures nearby would use animal
  fats, sesame seed or flax oil for their sacred
  lamps, Yisrael was commanded to only use pure
  olive oil.
• What is the significance of olives, olive trees
  and olive oil to Yisrael?

11
Examples of the Importance of Olives

• Bereshiyt/Genesis 811 The dove came to him
  toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a
  freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the
  water was abated from the earth.
• Devarim/Deuteronomy 87-8 "For YHWH your Elohim
  is bringing you into a good land, a land of
  brooks of water, of fountains and springs,
  flowing forth in valleys and hills 8 a land of
  wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and
  pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey

12
Examples of the Importance of Olives

• Jeremiah 1116-17 16 YHWH called your name, "A
  green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form"
  With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled
  fire on it, And its branches are worthless. 17
  YHWH Tzevaot, who planted you, has pronounced
  evil against you because of the evil of the house
  of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they
  have done to provoke Me by offering up sacrifices
  to Baal.

13
Examples of the Importance of Olives

• Zechariah 42-6 2 He said to me, "What do you
  see?" And I said, "I see, and behold, a lampstand
  all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and
  its seven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging
  to each of the lamps which are on the top of it
  3 also two olive trees by it, one on the right
  side of the bowl and the other on its left side."
  continued

14
Examples of the Importance of Olives

• Zechariah 42-6 4 Then I said to the angel who
  was speaking with me saying, "What are these, my
  master?" 5 So the angel who was speaking with me
  answered and said to me, "Do you not know what
  these are?" And I said, "No, my master." 6 Then
  he said to me, "This is the word of YHWH to
  Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power,
  but by My Spirit,' says YHWH Tzevaot.

15
Examples of the Importance of Olives

• Zechariah 412-14 12 And I answered the second
  time and said to him, "What are the two olive
  branches which are beside the two golden pipes,
  which empty the golden oil from themselves?" 13
  So he answered me, saying, "Do you not know what
  these are?" And I said, "No, my master." 14 Then
  he said, "These are the two anointed ones sons
  of the pure oil who are standing by the Master
  of the whole earth."

Compare with Hitgalut/Revelation 111-13.
16
Examples of the Importance of Olives

• Read Romans 1117-25
• What is the relationship with this passage to
  Jeremiah 1116-17 and
• Bereshiyt/Genesis 4819?

17

  he said, "These are the two anointed ones sons

18
But Spirit and Torah Cannot Be Separated
Proverbs 623 For the mitzvah is a lamp ner and
the Torah is light or And reproofs for
discipline are the way of life derekh chayyim
19
Thought on Deception
The light produced by different kinds of oils
looks about the same.
20
The Menorah
Shemot/Exodus 2531-32 (KJV) "And thou shalt
make a lampstand of pure gold of beaten work
shall the lampstand be made its shaft, and its
branches, its bowls, its knobs, and its flowers,
shall be of the same. And six branches shall come
out of the sides of it Three branches of the
lampstand out of the one side, and three branches
out of the other side."
21
The Menorah
Brad Scott Commentary The word candlestick in
the King James English is from the Hebrew word
menorah. This word is taken from the word ner or
light. The ner or light forms the middle of the
word menorah. With the addition of the prefix and
suffix the light now becomes the apparatus from
which the light shines, illuminates, or exposes.
22
The Menorah
Brad Scott Commentary If you read the text
casually you would conclude that this lampstand
is formed with six branches, however a closer
study reveals a middle shaft called a yarek. The
word yarek is generally translated as thigh,
loins, or body (B'reshiyth 242, Shoftim 830).
23
Menorah
Brad Scott Commentary The six branches extend
out from the shaft and are yet one with the
shaft. Is it just a coincidence that believers of
the Messiah, whether Jew or Gentile are referred
to as branches in Romans 11? Is it just mere
happenstance that these branches are all one with
the central shaft or tree, and called the BODY of
the Messiah?
24
Menorah
Brad Scott Commentary Even further, is it just
the luck of the draw that Yeshua uses this
lampstand to refer to His kehillot in Hitgalut
(Revelation) 120?
Read Hitgalut/Revelation 120
25
Menorah
Isaiah 111-3 Then a shoot will spring from the
stem of Jesse, And a branch from his roots will
bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of YHWH will rest on
Him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The
spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of
knowledge and the fear of YHWH. 3 And He will
delight in the fear of YHWH, And He will not
judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision
by what His ears hear
26
Menorah
(by Slade Henson)
27
Menorah
The Spirit of HASHEM is the base and central
pillar of the menorah. Match up the two outer
branches of the menorah, and you
notice how the fear of HASHEM leads to
wisdom (Mishlei 17). The second and sixth
branches match knowledge and understanding. With
counsel, we gain power (Mishlei 1522).
(by Slade Henson)
28
Mixing of Wool and Linen
Shemot/Exodus Exodus 286 (NJPS) They shall make
the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson
yarns, and of fine twisted linen, worked into
designs.Chabad commentary There are two
classic explanations of why the Torahnormally
prohibits the mixture of wool and linen
29
Mixing of Wool and Linen
Chabad commentary a) It is necessary to avoid
harmful influences. Inthis context, the linen is
seen as the harmful influence. Wool was the
offering of Abel, Adams good son, while flax was
the offering of Cain, Adams bad son.b) It is
necessary to avoid harmful mixtures. In this
context, neither wool nor linen is intrinsically
harmful, only their mixture.
30
Mixing of Wool and Linen
Chabad commentary As we have seen before,
however, the forces of evil generally originate
in very high levels of holiness, but they have
suffered some tragic fall. In its source, then,
flax is embodies and expresses a very high level
of holiness. Thus, the mixture of wool and flax
is permittedin the priestly vestments since in
the revealedDivinity of the Tabernacle they both
expressed their spiritual source, and in their
source both are forces of holiness. Their mixture
there is therefore not at all harmful.
31
Bells and Pomegranates
Shemot/Exodus 2833-35 33 "You shall make on
its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and
scarlet material, all around on its hem, and
bells of gold between them all around 34 a
golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and
a pomegranate, all around on the hem of the robe.
35 It shall be on Aaron when he ministers and
its tinkling shall be heard when he enters and
leaves the holy place before YHWH, so that he
will not die.
32
Tamid

• The Continual Daily Offering
• Shmot 2938-46. The offering outlined in this
  passage was offered every day, seven days a week,
  and was totally unrelated to the Inauguration
  ritual. The Torah mentions it here to tell us
  that it was offered even before the Tabernacle
  assumed it full sanctity
