you go out to fight against your enemies, and
????  your Elohim shall give them into your hand,
and you shall take them captive,

Since You Have Humbled Her
Dev 2111-14 (ISR) and shall see among the
captives a woman fair of form, and shall delight
in her and take her for your wife, then you shall
bring her home to your house, and she shall shave
her head and trim her nails, and put aside the
mantle of her captivity, and shall dwell in your
house, and mourn her father and her mother a
month of days. And after that you shall go in to
her and be her husband, and she shall be your
wife. And it shall be, if you are not pleased
with her, then you shall let her go at her
desire, but you do not sell her at all for
silver. Do not treat her harshly, since you have
humbled her.
Key Points/questions See following slides
8
Since You Have Humbled Her

• Key Points/questions
• Mercy is the basis for this commandment
• In warfare, rape of conquered women is a fact
  of history. Such is NOT to be the case with
  Israelite soldiers.
• The Israelite soldier must wait for a month
• The initial passion is allowed to subside, and
  after that month, if the Israelite soldier still
  desires her
• Then the woman is to be given the full status of
  a wife in marriage.

9
Since You Have Humbled Her

• Key Points/questions
• The woman is to live in the soldiers family
  home for a month (yerach yomiym, literally a
  moon of days) of mourning for her family.
• Her head is shaved and her nails are cut
  (certainly decreasing any passion in the soldier
  caused by her beauty).
• The shaved head could also be indicative of
  mikveh, and re-birth into Israelite society
• She puts aside her old mantle of captivity
  and dresses like an Israelite.

10
Since You Have Humbled Her

• Key Points/questions
• If the Israelite soldier is not pleased with
  her after the waiting period, then she is free to
  go the soldier cannot sell her. The text does
  not say that after taking her as wife, if the
  soldier then is not pleased with her.
• Humbled her in that she had been rejected.
• Mercy The woman will not be a slave, will not
  be a concubine, and if the marriage occurs, she
  will become a full citizen of Israel. If not, she
  still has the status of ger toshav, or resident
  alien

11
Since You Have Humbled Her

• Key Points/questions
• Mercy The woman will not be a slave, will not
  be a concubine, and if the marriage occurs, she
  will become a full citizen of Israel. If not, she
  still has the status of sojourner, or resident
  alien, with the protection of the Torah
  Bamidbar/Numbers 1516 (ISR)One Torah and one
  right-ruling is for you and for the stranger who
  sojourns with you.
• What would happen to women left single in the
  ancient world?
• What tends to happen to single, destitute women
  even today?

12
When a Man has Two Wives
Dev 2115-17 (ISR) When a man has two wives, one
loved and the other unloved, and they have borne
him children, both the loved and the unloved, and
the first-born son is of her who is unloved, then
it shall be, on the day he makes his sons to
inherit his possessions, he is not allowed to
treat the son of the beloved wife as first-born
in the face of the son of the unloved, who is
truly the first-born. But he is to acknowledge
the son of the unloved wife as the first-born by
giving him a double portion of all that he has,
for he is the beginning of his strength the
right of the first-born is his.

13
When a Man has Two Wives

• Key Points/questions
• This doesnt mean that the soldier in the
  previous section already was married.
• This is not the Torahs seal of approval for
  polygamy as the way things were designed in the
  beginning.
• Torah deals with people and situations as they
  are, and the loved wife and the not-so-loved wife
  (when you have two) almost always causes strife,
  e.g. Rachel and Leah.

14
When a Man has Two Wives

• Key Points/questions
• Does Torah agree with itself regarding
  inheritance rights of the first born?
• Bereshiyt/Genesis 3523-24 the sons of Leah were
  Reub_en, Yaaqob_s first-born, and Shimon, and
  Lewi, and Yehud_ah, and Yissask_ar, and Zeb_ulun
  the sons of Rah?el were Yoseph and Binyamin
• Lets look at the case of the scepter, the
  first born, and Judah and Ephraim using some of
  the slides from our recent Two House Restoration
  series

15
Lets Focus on Two Sons

• Ephraim receives birthright
• Ephraim .Ephraim is My firstborn - Jer 319
  (NKJV)
• Judah receives right to rule
• The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a
  lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh
  comes And to Him shall be the obedience of the
  people - Gen 4910 (NKJV)

16
The Birthright was Split between Judah and
Ephraim

• Ephraim received blessing of multiplicity
• Judah received right to rule scepter
• Effectively, Ephraim is given first born
  birthright, but Judah is given the right to
  exercise the birthright

17
Abraham
Split of Birthright
Isaac
Jacob
Ephraim (birthright)
Judah (right to exercise birthright)
18
Split of Birthright

• Ephraim becomes like the Queen of England. While
  the Queen is considered royalty, the true power
  is vested in the Prime Minister.
• This split of birthright will cause problems
  (split in the kingdom) in the future

19
When a Man has Two Wives

• Key Points/questions
• Does Torah agree with itself regarding
  inheritance rights of the first born?
• YHWH calls Ephraim His Firstborn, despite being
  the younger son of the firstborn of Rachel,
  Jacobs wife that he loved.Yet the name Ephraim
  (and Joseph) are associated with, and the same as
  the name of the bride, Israel.
• If divorced, faithless Israel (Jer. 38)
  fills the role of unloved wife, then Ephraim
  my firstborn lines up perfectly w/Devarim 21
  15-17.

20
The Rebellious Son
Dev 2118-21 (ISR) When a man has a wayward and
rebellious son who is not listening to the voice
of his father or the voice of his mother, and
who, when they have disciplined him, does not
listen to them, then his father and his mother
shall take hold of him and bring him out to the
elders of his city, to the gate of his city, and
shall say to the elders of his city, This son of
ours is wayward and rebellious. He is not
listening to our voice, he is a glutton and a
drunkard. Then all the men of his city shall
stone him to death with stones. Thus you shall
purge the evil from your midst. And let all
Yisrael hear, and fear.
Key Points/questions See following slides
21
The Rebellious Son

• Key Points/questions
• The sages say that the exposition of this
  commandment was designed to prevent wayward sons,
  and was never actually carried out
• In accord with which authority is the following
  Tannaite teaching There has never been, and
  there never will be, a wayward and rebellious
  son. So why has the passage been written? To tell
  you, Expound and receive a reward Talmud
  Bavli, Sanhedrin 71A
• Do you agree with the Talmudic statement above?

22
The Rebellious Son

• Key Points/questions
• It seems to me that believers can and do have
  rebellious children -- children who will not heed
  their parents voice.
• This is one of those passages used by many
  Christians to mock Torah obedience. What should
  your response be?

23
He Who is Hanged on a Tree is Accursed
Dev 2122-23 (ISR) And when a man has committed
a sin worthy of death, then he shall be put to
death and you shall hang him on a tree. Let his
body not remain overnight on the tree, for you
shall certainly bury him the same day for he
who is hanged is accursed of Elohim so that you
do not defile the land which ????  your Elohim is
giving you as an inheritance.
Key Points/questions See following slides
24
He Who is Hanged on a Tree is Accursed

• Key Points/questions
• Provides the Torah command for removing Yeshuas
  body from the tree before nightfall.
• It seems probable that this passage was used as
  a weapon against Nazarenes by unbelieving Jewish
  leaders
• Yeshua was hung on a Roman wooden cross.
• Men who are hung on a tree are accursed by
  Elohim.
• Therefore, Yeshua was accursed by Elohim.
• Were the unbelieving leaders correct?

25
He Who is Hanged on a Tree is Accursed

• Key Points/questions
• Were the unbelieving leaders correct?
• Yes, but not in the way they meant.
• Yeshua was not worthy of death. He did
  become accursed, but not for His rebellion, for
  ours!
• Galatians 313-14 (Aramaic Peshitta) 13 And
  Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Torah
  and became a curse in our place, for it is
  written Cursed is everyone who is hung on a
  tree 14 that among the nations will be the
  blessing of Abraham in Yeshua Messiah and that
  we would receive the promise of the Spirit by
  faith.

26
You Are Not Allowed to Hide Yourself
Devarim 22 1-4 (ISR) When you see your
brothers ox or his sheep going straying away,
you shall not hide yourself from them. Return
them to your brother without fail. And if your
brother is not near you, or if you do not know
him, then you shall bring it to your own house,
and it shall be with you until your brother seeks
it, then you shall return it to him. And so you
do with his donkey, and so you do with his
garment, and so you do with whatever your brother
loses, which he has lost and you have found. You
are not allowed to hide yourself. When you see
your brothers donkey or his ox fall down on the
way, you shall not hide yourself from them. Help
him raise them without fail.
27
You Are Not Allowed to Hide Yourself

• Key Points/questions
• This is a clear carrying out of love your
  neighbor.
• Back home, neighbors animals, usually horses,
  used to get out of their pastures or corrals all
  the time. Everyone would always help them catch
  the horses and bring them back home, but none of
  us knew that was Torah.

28
Cross Dressing is Not Torah
Devarim 22 5 (ISR) A woman does not wear that
which pertains to a man, nor does a man put on a
womans garment, for whoever does this is an
abomination to ????  your Elohim.

• Key Points/questions
• This mixing of gender roles is called an
  abomination (toevah) to YHWH.

29
Haftorah Yeshayahu/Isaiah 541-10
Yeshayahu/Isaiah 541-3 (ISR) Isa 541 Sing, O
barren one, you who did not bear! Break forth
into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not
been in labour! For the children of the deserted
one are more than the children of the married
woman, said ????. Isa 542 Enlarge the place
of your tent, and let them stretch out the
curtains of your dwellings, spare not. Lengthen
your cords, and strengthen your stakes. Isa 543
For you shall break forth to the right and to
the left, and your seed inherit the nations, and
make the deserted cities inhabited.
30
Haftorah
Yeshayahu/Isaiah 544-7 (ISR) Isa 544 Do not
fear, for you shall not be put to shame, nor
hurt, you shall not be humiliated. For the shame
of your youth you shall forget, and not remember
the reproach of your widowhood any more. Isa
545 For your Maker is your husband, ????  of
hosts is His Name, and the Set-apart One of
Yisrael is your Redeemer. He is called the
Elohim of all the earth. Isa 546 For ????  has
called you like a woman forsaken and grieved in
spirit, like a wife of youth when you were
refused, declares your Elohim. Isa 547 For a
little while I have forsaken you, but with great
compassion I shall gather you.
31
Haftorah
Yeshayahu/Isaiah 548-10 (ISR) Isa 548 In an
overflow of wrath I hid My face from you for a
moment, but with everlasting kindness I shall
have compassion on you, said ????, your
Redeemer. Isa 549 For this is the waters of
Noah? to Me, in that I have sworn that the waters
of Noah? would never again cover the earth, so
have I sworn not to be wroth with you, nor to
rebuke you. Isa 5410 For though the mountains
be removed and the hills be shaken, My kindness
is not removed from you, nor is My covenant of
peace shaken, said ????, who has compassion on
you.
