I\u2019ll continue<\/a> to consider ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>(\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4<\/a>) instruction to Moses: They<\/em>[1]<\/sup><\/a> are to eat those things by which atonement <\/em>(k\u00e2phar<\/em>, \u05db\u05e4\u05e8<\/a>; Septuagint: \u1f21\u03b3\u03b9\u1f71\u03c3\u03b8\u03b7\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd, a form of \u1f01\u03b3\u03b9\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9<\/a>) was made to consecrate and to set them apart, but no one else may eat them, for they are holy<\/em>.[2]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

The Hebrew word translated to consecrate<\/em> was \u05dc\u05de\u05dc\u05d0<\/a> (m\u00e2l\u00ea\u02bc<\/em>).\u00a0 In the Septuagint<\/a> \u05dc\u05de\u05dc\u05d0 (m\u00e2l\u00ea\u02bc<\/em>) was translated \u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u1ff6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c4\u1f70\u03c2 \u03c7\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c1\u03b1\u03c2, \u201cvalidate their hands\u201d in an English translation of the Septuagint (NETS<\/a>).\u00a0 And\u00a0\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u1ff6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9 (a form of \u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03cc\u03c9<\/a>) was translated to perfect <\/em>in:\u00a0For the law possesses a shadow of the good things to come but not the reality itself, and is therefore completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship<\/em>.[3]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a lot of wiggle room in the meaning of \u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u1ff6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9 here.\u00a0 If the sacrifices had perfected those who came to worship, the sacrifices would have ceased to be offered long before the temple was destroyed:\u00a0For otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have been purified once for all and so have no further consciousness of sin?<\/em>[4]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 John wrote (1 John 1:5-2:6 NET):<\/p>\n

Now this is the gospel message[5]<\/sup><\/a> <\/em>we have heard from him and announce to you: God is light<\/a>, and in him there is no darkness at all.\u00a0 If we say we have fellowship with him and yet keep on walking in the darkness, we are lying and not practicing the truth.\u00a0 But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus[6]<\/sup><\/a> <\/em>his Son cleanses us from all sin.\u00a0 If we say we do not bear the guilt of sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.\u00a0 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, forgiving us our sins and cleansing us from all unrighteousness.\u00a0 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.\u00a0 (My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.) \u00a0But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous One, and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.<\/p>\n

Now by this we know that we have come to know God: if we keep<\/a> (\u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd, a form of \u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u03ad\u03c9<\/a>)<\/em> his commandments.\u00a0 The one who says \u201cI have come to know God\u201d and yet does not keep (\u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u1ff6\u03bd, another form of \u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u03ad\u03c9)<\/em> his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person.\u00a0 But whoever obeys<\/a> (\u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u1fc7, another form of \u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u03ad\u03c9)<\/em> his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected (\u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u1f77\u03c9\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9, another form of \u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03cc\u03c9)<\/em>. \u00a0By this we know that we are in him.\u00a0 The one who says he resides in God ought (\u1f40\u03c6\u03b5\u1f77\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9,[7]<\/sup><\/a> a form of \u1f40\u03c6\u03b5\u03af\u03bb\u03c9<\/a>)<\/em> himself to walk[8]<\/sup><\/a> <\/em>just as Jesus walked<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If I fall back<\/a> on my own strength the obligation to walk just as Jesus walked<\/em>\u00a0will fill me first with fear, then defensiveness, anger and eventually a pervasive desire to \u201cchuck<\/a> this whole religion thing.\u201d\u00a0 So I plan to be very gentle<\/a> with myself.\u00a0 I want to keep foremost in my mind the two points<\/a> from the previous essay: 1) By his will<\/em> we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all<\/em>;[9]<\/sup><\/a> and, 2) he will in fact do this<\/em>:[10]<\/sup><\/a> \u2026make you completely holy and<\/em>…[keep] your spirit and soul and body<\/em>…entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ<\/em>.[11]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

If I\u2019m honest my fear stems from my offended pride when I fail\u00a0to walk just as Jesus walked<\/em>\u00a0in my own strength.\u00a0 So I want to consider that pride.\u00a0 Aaron and his sons<\/em>[12]<\/sup><\/a> were commanded to eat those things by which atonement was made to consecrate and to set them apart<\/em>.\u00a0 No one else could eat them, for they are holy<\/em>.\u00a0 For the moment it doesn\u2019t really matter whether they <\/em>meant the things by which atonement was made<\/em> or Aaron and his sons <\/em>or all of the above.\u00a0 In any case Aaron and his sons were distinguished from everyone else in Israel by this holiness.\u00a0 But how proud could they be about that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Exodus 29:4-9 (NET)<\/td>\n\n

Leviticus 8:6-13 (NET)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

You are to present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the tent of meeting.\u00a0 You are to wash them with water\u2026<\/td>\nSo Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u2026and take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastpiece; you are to fasten the ephod on him by using the skillfully woven waistband.<\/td>\nThen he put the tunic on Aaron, wrapped the sash around him, and clothed him with the robe. \u00a0Next he put the ephod on him and placed on him the decorated band of the ephod, and fastened the ephod closely to him with the band.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Exodus 28:30<\/a><\/td>\nHe then set the breastpiece on him and put the Urim and Thummim into the breastpiece.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You are to put the turban on his head and put the holy diadem on the turban.<\/td>\nFinally, he set the turban on his head and attached the gold plate, the holy diadem, to the front of the turban just as the Lord (ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h<\/em>,<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4) had commanded Moses.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Exodus 30:22-33<\/a><\/td>\nThen Moses took the anointing oil and anointed the tabernacle and everything in it, and so consecrated (q\u00e2dash<\/em>, \u05d5\u05d9\u05e7\u05d3\u05e9<\/a>; Septuagint<\/a>: \u1f21\u03b3\u1f77\u03b1\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd, another form of \u1f01\u03b3\u03b9\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9) them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Next he sprinkled some of it on the altar seven times and so anointed the altar, all its vessels, and the wash basin and its stand to consecrate (q\u00e2dash<\/em>, \u05dc\u05e7\u05d3\u05e9\u05dd; Septuagint<\/a>: \u1f21\u03b3\u1f77\u03b1\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd, another form of \u1f01\u03b3\u03b9\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9) them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You are to take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.<\/td>\nHe then poured some of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron and anointed him to consecrate (q\u00e2dash<\/em>, \u05dc\u05e7\u05d3\u05e9\u05d5; Septuagint<\/a>: \u1f21\u03b3\u1f77\u03b1\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd, another form of \u1f01\u03b3\u03b9\u03ac\u03b6\u03c9) him.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You are to present his sons and clothe them with tunics\u2026<\/td>\nMoses also brought forward Aaron\u2019s sons, clothed them with tunics, wrapped sashes around them, and wrapped headbands on them just as the Lord (ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h<\/em>,<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4) had commanded Moses.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u2026and wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and put headbands on them, and so the ministry of priesthood will belong to them by a perpetual ordinance.\u00a0 Thus you are to consecrate (m\u00e2l\u00ea\u02bc<\/em>, \u05d5\u05de\u05dc\u05d0\u05ea: Septuagint<\/a>: \u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u1f7d\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2,[13]<\/sup><\/a> another form of \u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b5\u03b9\u03cc\u03c9) Aaron and his sons.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Aaron and his sons were distinguished in holiness because they stood there while Moses performed ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h\u2019s<\/em> prescribed rituals to them and around them. \u00a0Now to the one who works, <\/em>Paul wrote believers in Rome, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation<\/a> <\/em>(\u1f40\u03c6\u03b5\u1f77\u03bb\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1<\/a>) [Table<\/a>]. \u00a0But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness<\/em>.[14]<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0The Pharisees<\/a> on the other hand said, None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed in<\/em> [Jesus], have they? \u00a0But this rabble who do not know the law are accursed!<\/em>[15]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

This is very interesting in this context.\u00a0 The priests were made holy by atonement rituals prescribed by ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h<\/em>.\u00a0 <\/em>The only holiness the Pharisees could legitimately[16]<\/sup><\/a> claim was atonement made by priests performing rituals prescribed by ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h<\/em>.\u00a0 Yet they distinguished themselves from the rabble<\/em>[17]<\/sup><\/a> (\u1f44\u03c7\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>) here, not by these rituals, but by knowledge of the law.\u00a0 To seek out some other distinction was a tacit acknowledgement that the law was completely unable, by the same sacrifices offered continually, year after year, to perfect those who come to worship<\/em>.\u00a0 So in a sense they were on the right track as it pertained to recognizing a need.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t intend to minimize the value of knowing the law as a means to knowing the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom<\/em> [He] sent<\/em>.[18]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 As the Psalmist wrote (Psalm 119:33-40 Tanakh):<\/p>\n

Teach me, O LORD (<\/em>ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h,\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4)<\/em>, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.<\/p>\n

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.<\/p>\n

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.<\/p>\n

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.<\/p>\n

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.<\/p>\n

Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.<\/p>\n

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.<\/p>\n

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But to claim knowledge<\/a> of the law as a means of distinction, rendering one more holy than one who does not know it, is to not <\/em>know the law: For all who rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, <\/em>\u201cCursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d[19]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Cursed be he that confirmeth not the words of this law to do them.\u00a0 And all the people shall say: Amen.<\/em>[20]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 For all who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law<\/em>.[21]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Cursed <\/em>in the phrase Cursed is everyone<\/em><\/strong> was \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u1f71\u03c1\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> in Greek.\u00a0 The Greek word translated accursed <\/em>in this rabble who do not know the law are accursed<\/em> was \u1f10\u03c0\u1f71\u03c1\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9 (a form of \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u1f71\u03c1\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2).\u00a0 In other words, those who know<\/a> <\/em>the law are as accursed <\/em>as those who do not because\u2026 (Romans 3:10-18 NET):<\/p>\n

\u2026just as it is written: \u201cThere is no one righteous<\/em><\/strong>, not even one<\/strong>,<\/em> there is no one who understands<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> there is no one who seeks God<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>\u00a0 All have turned away<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> together they have become worthless;<\/em><\/strong> there is no one who shows kindness<\/em><\/strong>, not even one.<\/strong><\/em>\u201d[22]<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir throats are open graves<\/em><\/strong>, they deceive with their tongues<\/strong>,<\/em> the poison of asps is under their lips<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d[23]<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir mouths are<\/em><\/strong> full of cursing and bitterness<\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d[24]<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir feet are swift to shed blood<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> ruin and misery are in their paths<\/em><\/strong>,<\/em> and the way of peace they have not known<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d[25]<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no fear of God before their eyes<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>\u201d[26]<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So how proud should I, a Gentile, be, recognizing that: 1) by <\/em>[Israel\u2019s] transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous<\/em>;[27]<\/sup><\/a> 2) They were broken off because of their unbelief, but <\/em>[I] stand by faith<\/em>; Do not be arrogant, but fear; For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare <\/em>[me];[28]<\/sup><\/a> 3) [I] have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous One, and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for <\/em>[my] sins, and not only for <\/em>[my] sins but also for the whole world<\/em>;[29]<\/sup><\/a> and, 4) Jesus Christ the righteous One<\/em> promised, \u201cAnd I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself\u201d<\/em>[30]<\/sup><\/a>?<\/p>\n

It is past time that I give up my pride, quit trying to distinguish myself from others by some holiness I have achieved rather than received, and start gathering with Jesus rather than scattering (Matthew 12:30-32<\/a>).\u00a0 So then, it does not depend on human desire or exertion, but on God who shows mercy<\/a><\/em>.[31]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience, so they too have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. \u00a0For God has consigned all people to disobedience so that he may show mercy to them all<\/em>.[32]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

The righteous never expected to keep the law in his or her own strength but in the power and presence<\/a> of God (Psalm 51 Tanakh):<\/p>\n

Have mercy upon me, O God (<\/em>\u02bc\u0115l\u00f4h\u0131\u0302ym, \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05dd<\/a>)<\/em>, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions (Table<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin (Table<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me (Table<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n

Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest (Table<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me [Table<\/a>] (Genesis 5:1-5<\/a>; Romans 5:12-21<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.<\/p>\n

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.<\/p>\n

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.<\/p>\n

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.<\/p>\n

Create in me a clean heart, O God (<\/em>\u02bc\u0115l\u00f4h\u0131\u0302ym, \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05dd)<\/em>; and renew a right spirit within me.<\/p>\n

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me (Table<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit (Table<\/a>)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.<\/p>\n

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God (<\/em>\u02bc\u0115l\u00f4h\u0131\u0302ym, \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05dd)<\/em>, thou God (<\/em>\u02bc\u0115l\u00f4h\u0131\u0302ym, \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9)<\/em> of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.<\/p>\n

O Lord (<\/em>\u02bc\u0103d\u00f4n\u00e2y, \u05d0\u05d3\u05e0\u05d9<\/a>)<\/em>, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.<\/p>\n

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.<\/p>\n

The sacrifices of God (<\/em>\u02bc\u0115l\u00f4h\u0131\u0302ym, \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05dd)<\/em> are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God (<\/em>\u02bc\u0115l\u00f4h\u0131\u0302ym, \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9\u05dd)<\/em>, thou wilt not despise.<\/p>\n

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>[16]<\/sup> from <\/em>Pharisees<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cEmergence of the Pharisees<\/strong>\u201d
\nAfter defeating the Seleucid forces, Judas Maccabaeus’s nephew John Hyrcanus established a new monarchy in the form of the priestly Hasmonean dynasty in 152 BCE, thus establishing priests as political as well as religious authorities. Although the Hasmoneans were considered heroes for resisting the Seleucids, their reign lacked the legitimacy conferred by descent from the Davidic dynasty of the First Temple era.[16]<\/sup><\/a>
\nThe Pharisee (“separatist”) party emerged largely out of the group of scribes and sages…
\nSadducees rejected the Pharisaic tenet of an Oral Torah. In their personal lives this often meant an excessively stringent lifestyle from a Jewish perspective, as they did away with the oral tradition, and in turn the Pharisaic understanding of the Torah, creating two Jewish understandings of the Torah. An example of this differing approach is the interpretation of, “an eye in place of an eye”. The Pharisaic understanding was that the value of an eye was to be paid by the perpetrator.[20]<\/sup><\/a> In the Sadducees’ view the words were given a more literal interpretation, in which the offender’s eye would be removed.[21]<\/sup><\/a> From the point of view of the Pharisees, the Sadducees wished to change the Jewish understanding of the Torah, to a Greek understanding of the Torah. The Pharisees preserved the Pharisaical oral law in the form of the Talmud. They would become the foundation of Rabbinic Judaism…
\n\u201cThe Hasmonean period<\/strong>\u201d
\nAfter the death of John Hyrcanus his younger son Alexander Jannaeus made himself king and openly sided with the Sadducees by adopting their rites in the Temple. His actions caused a riot in the Temple and led to a brief civil war that ended with a bloody repression of the Pharisees. However, on his deathbed Jannaeus advised his widow, Salome Alexandra, to seek reconciliation with the Pharisees.
\n\u201cThe Roman period<\/strong>\u201d
\nAccording to Josephus, the Pharisees appeared before Pompey asking him to interfere and restore the old priesthood while abolishing the royalty of the Hasmoneans altogether (“Ant.” xiv. 3, \u00a7 2). Pharisees also opened Jerusalem’s gates to the Romans, and actively supported them against the Sadducean faction.[26]<\/sup><\/a> When the Romans finally broke the entrance to the Jerusalem’s Temple, the Pharisees killed the priests who were officiating the Temple services on Saturday.[27]<\/sup><\/a> They regarded Pompey’s defilement of the Temple in Jerusalem as a divine punishment of Sadducean misrule.<\/p>\n

<\/a>[22]<\/sup> The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.\u00a0 They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.\u00a0 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.\u00a0 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one<\/em> (Psalm 14:1-3 Tanakh).<\/p>\n

<\/a>[23]<\/sup> For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue<\/em> (Psalm 5:9 Tanakh).\u00a0 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips.\u00a0 Selah<\/em> (Psalm 140:3 Tanakh).<\/p>\n

<\/a>[24]<\/sup> His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity<\/em> (Psalm 10:7 Tanakh).<\/p>\n

<\/a>[25]<\/sup> Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.\u00a0 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace<\/em> (Isaiah 59:7, 8 Tanakh).<\/p>\n
