Torah portion, Num. 8 to 12
Exod.25[ 9] According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
[40] And look that thou make them after their pattern , which was shewed thee in the mount.
Num.8[ 4] And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Josh.22[ 28] Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.
2Kgs.16[ 10] And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.
1Chr.28[ 11] Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat, [12] And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
[18] And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD. [19] All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.
Ezek.43[ 10] Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
1Tim.1[ 16] Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
Tit.2[ 7] In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Heb.8[ 5] Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things , as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Heb.9[ 23] It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Don't look back
Some say, the Christian ( Messiah followers ) life is hard, it is vain to serve God and start to look back .
Let's define the word christian first
Remember, there were no Protestants before 1500 AD nor Catholics at the time of Messiah Yeshua.
Messiah -
Acts.11[
26] And when he had found him,
he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled
themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were
called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts.26[
28] Then Agrippa said unto Paul,
Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian
.
1Pet.4[
16] Yet if any man suffer as
a Christian, let him not be
ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
---------
Mal.3[
14] Ye
have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit
is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before
the LORD of hosts?
Gen.19[
26] But his wife
looked back from behind
him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Luke.17[
30] Even thus shall it be in
the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Matt.24[[
17] Let him which is on the
housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18] Neither
let him which is in the field
return back to take
his clothes.
Exod.14[
11] And they said unto Moses,
Because there were no graves in Egypt
, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore
hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
[12] Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying,
Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us
to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Num.11[
4] And the mixt multitude that
was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again,
and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Please WATCH all mixed multitudes
around you
Exod.12[
38] And a
mixed
multitude
Num.11[1] And when the people
complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was
kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that
were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
[4] And the mixt
multitude
[5] And the
manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.[
8] And the people went about,
and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked
it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh
oil.[9] And when the dew fell
upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.[
10] Then Moses heard the people weep throughout
their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD
was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.[11
] And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou
afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight,
that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?[
12] Have I
conceived all this people? have
I begotten them, that thou shouldest
say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking
child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?[
13] Whence should
I have flesh to give unto all this
people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.[
14] I
am not able to bear all this people alone, because
it is too heavy for me.
Deut.9[
22] And at Taberah, and at Massah,
and at Kibroth-hattaavah,
ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
BDB Definition: Kibroth-hattaavah
= graves of lust 1) a station of Israel in the wilderness 3 campsites away
from Sinai near the gulf of Akabah
Exod.23[
2] Thou
shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt
thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:[
3] Neither shalt thou countenance a
poor man in his cause.
Neh.13[
3] Now it came to pass, when
they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel
all the mixed multitude.
Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
Matt.10[
32] Whosoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in
heaven.
Matt.16[
24] Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross, and follow me.[
25] For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall
find it.[26] For what is a man
profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what
shall a man give in exchange for his soul?[27
] For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father
with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Matt.27[
32] And as they came out, they
found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled
to bear his cross.
Mark.15[
21] And they compel one Simon
a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander
and Rufus, to bear his cross.
Luke.14[1
] And it came to pass, as he went into the house of
one of the chief Pharisees to
eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
[26] If any
man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children,
and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also,
he cannot be my disciple.[27
] And whosoever doth not bear
his cross, and come after me,
cannot be my disciple.[28
] For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth
not down first, and counteth the cost
, whether he have sufficient to finish it?[
29] Lest haply, after he hath laid
the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock
him,[30] Saying, This man began
to build, and was not able to finish.[31
] Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth
not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet
him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?[32
] Or else, while the other is yet a great way off,
he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
[33] So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not
all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.[34]
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
[35]
It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out.
He that hath ears to hear,
let him hear.

Num.12[
1] And Miriam and Aaron spake
against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman
whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian
woman.[
2] And they
said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by
us? And the LORD heard it.[3
] (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men
which were upon the face of the earth.)[4
] And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron,
and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.
And they three came out.[5]
And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of
the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.[
6] And he said, Hear now my
words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will
make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.[7]
My servant Moses is not so, who
is faithful in all mine house.
Acts.23[
5] Then said Paul, I wist not,
brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written,
Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
Exod.22[
28] Thou
shalt not revile the gods ( judges
), nor curse the ruler of thy people
.
Exod.21[
1] Now
these are the judgments which thou shalt set before
them.

master shall bring him unto the

then the master of the house shall be brought unto the

1Tim.5
[1] Rebuke not
an elder, but intreat him as
a father; and the younger men as brethren;
[2] The
elder women as mothers; the
younger as sisters, with all purity.
[17] Let the
elders that rule well be counted
worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
[19] Against
an elder receive not an accusation,
but before two or three witnesses.
[31] In that day, he which shall
be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to
take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise
not return back.[
32]
Remember Lot's wife.
[33] Whosoever
shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life
shall preserve it.
[5] We remember the fish, which
we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and
the onions, and the garlick:
[6] But our soul is dried away:
there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
[2]
And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire
was quenched.
[3] And he called the name of
the place Taberah: because the
fire of the LORD burnt among them.
[15] And if thou deal thus with
me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight;
and let me not see my wretchedness.[16
] And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me
seventy men of the elders of Israel
, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers
over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they
may stand there with thee.[17
] And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take
of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall
bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
[18] And
say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall
eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give
us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will
give you flesh, and ye shall eat.[19
] Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither
ten days, nor twenty days;[20] But even a whole month,
until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that
ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying,
Why came we forth out of Egypt?[
21] And Moses said, The people, among
whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give
them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.[22
] Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to
suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them,
to suffice them?[23] And the LORD said unto Moses, Is
the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come
to pass unto thee or not.[24
] And Moses went out, and told the people the words
of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and
set them round about the tabernacle.[25] And the LORD
came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon
him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the
spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
[26] But there
remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the
name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of
them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied
in the camp.[27] And there ran
a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.[
28] And Joshua the son of Nun,
the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses,
forbid them.[29] And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou
for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the
LORD would put his spirit upon them![
30] And Moses gat him into the camp,
he and the elders of Israel.[31
] And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails
from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on
this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the
camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.[
32] And the people stood up all that
day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails:
he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad
for themselves round about the camp.[33] And while the
flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD
was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great
plague.[34] And he called the name of that place
Kibroth-hattaavah
: because there they buried the people that lusted.
[35]
And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at
Hazeroth.
And all the world go free?
No, theres a cross for everyone,
And theres a cross for me.
[33] But whosoever shall deny
me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
[34] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not to send peace, but a sword.
[35]
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
[36] And a man's foes shall
be they of his own household.
[37] He that loveth father or
mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me.
[38] And
he that taketh not his cross, and followeth
after me, is not worthy of me.
[39] He that findeth his life
shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
[2] And, behold, there was a
certain man before him which had the dropsy.
[3] And Jesus answering spake
unto the lawyers and Pharisees
, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
[15] And Miriam was shut out
from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought
in again.
[16] And afterward the people
removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
