Emor

In the midst of the Omer Count: 34.

This weeks Torah portion brings us to words, our mouth, what we say, how we speak, do we speak or do we avoid and say/Emor nothing – it’s all an end time tally of either honor or dishonor – one who maintains control over the tongue and actions. 

Leviticus 21:1-24:23, Emor is translated as “Say!”

And יהוה said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people: Lev 21:2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,Lev 21:3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled. Lev 21:4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. Lev 21:5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. Lev 21:6 They shall be holy unto their יהוה, and not profane the name of their יהוה: for the offerings of יהוה made by fire, and the bread of their יהוה, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. Lev 21:7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his  יהוה. Lev 21:8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy יהוה: he shall be holy unto thee: for I יהוה, which sanctify you, am holy. Lev 21:9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.

Leviticus 21:1 Portion starts off a very select group within Israel – the sons of Aaron, the priests (not even all of Levi, just this specific section of the branch of Kohath).

This is the 31st portion of the year; 31 = associated with offspring, 30 = ל LAMED – authority & 1 = א – ALEPH strength.

Revelation 5:10 And You made us a kingdom of priests to our Elohim, and we will reign over the earth.

Aaron: Strong’s #175 ‘Aharown אהרון ALEPH-HEH-RESH-VAV-NUN – light bringer; א ALEPH = I will & הרון HEH-RESH-VAV-NUN = pregnancy, child bearing.

Kohath: Strong’s #6955 Qehath קהת KAPH-HEH-TAV assembly, from an unused root meaning to ally oneself, comes from roots meaning to collect, assemble, or gathering; gematria = 505, same as Sarah שרה SHIN-RESH-HEH the barren wife who has the ה HEH inserted to become fruitful what does that tell ya? 

This letter must then represent breath/Word/light, but it’s also associated with teshuva.

Levi: Strong’s #3878 Leviy לוי LAMED-VAV-YOD joined to; from #3867 lavah לוה LAMED-VAV-HEH to join, be joined, to borrow/lend.

This Parsha is a Sode…the barren woman is to become child bearing/pregnant with the light/Word of יהוה and it’s when this happens (the time of the birthing) that she then will be collected/gathered/assembled in order to be joined to her Husband!  

Jeremiah 30:6 – “Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?” Jacob’s Trouble…It’s the time of the gathering of Israel!

Speak: Strong’s #559 ‘amar אמר ALPEH-MEM-RESH to say, speak, utter, to say in one’s heart, to think….the same letters form #4754 mara’ מרא MEM-RESH-ALEPH  to beat the air, flap the wings, filthy, uncleanness, lack of holiness (2 letter root מר bitter, reference to the bitter waters of Numbers 5).

Kohath = 505, same value as keli mashqeh משקה כלי drinking vessels

What’s the teaching: If we fail to make teshuva concerning our speech it’ll affect our drinking vessels!  

It’ll affect whether the water is bitter (full of our own filth and uncleanness) or sweet!  

Zerubbabel זרבבל sown in Babylon

Genesis 11:6 And יהוה said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Gen 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. Gen 11:8 So יהוה scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

The language (ה) is removed from this location! 

Left Off: Strong’s #2308 chadal חדל HEH-DALET-LAMED to stop, cease, desist, to cease to be. It’s the vey same word used in Genesis 18:11 – “[and] it ceased (chadal) to be with Sarah after the manner of women.”  

We only begin a fruitful life…bearing seed after we make repentance and return to the fold of Israel…bearing seed is intricately associated with Hebrew – crossing over from the soil of Babel to the soil of Israel. 

In the bible when the ה was added to Sarah’s name, it is a picture of the stranger awakening to repentance and crossing over from Mystery Babylon to become the Bride in the end days for her to travail and be gathered!

Revelation 18:4 – “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins”

Its no accident that Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel were all barren and they were all from the same location – Ur of the Chaldees/Babylon/Mesopotamia  all unable to be childbearing until removed from there…crossed over ones – Hebrews. 

Ur: #218 ‘Uwr אור flame (false light)

Babylon: #894 Babel בבל confusion by mixing

Mesopotamia: #763 ‘Aram Naharayim נהרים   ארם

Aram of the 2 rivers; Aram ארם ALEPH-RESH-MEM SOFIT is spelled with the same letters as Emor/Say and mara’/filthy and unclean!

These locations are the place where the false light shines in order to confuse, and the waters (rivers) are filled with the filthy/unclean words – bitter waters!

Dead: Strong’s #5315 nephesh נפש NUN-PEY-SHIN soul, life, mind, living being, emotion, desire, breath; from #5314 naphash נפש to take breath, refresh oneself.  

Without form and void – Without Form: #8414 tohuw תהו TAV-HEH-VAV formlessness, confusion, unreality, emptiness; confusion –  the meaning of Babel/Babylon!  

As the earth/creation becomes tohu v’bohu (because of the word/seed of another) we are being called to leave, to make teshuva – return and repent from the words that made void – the words and propaganda of Babylon have made a void in the bodies and souls of those who followed its bitter directives. 

Our charge is to guard the doorway of the lips/the mouth in order for us to be holy to יהוה instead of filthy and unclean! Our words have the potential to lack holiness and by ingesting the word of Babylon – it’s propaganda our vessels become unfit. 

Our tongues/words become a boundary/limit for the bitter waters, stopping them if our words are holy and we do not consent to enter their vessels. 

Lips: Strong’s #8193 saphah שפה SHIN-PEY-HEH lip, language, edge/shore/bank of a cup, sea, or river, it refers to boundary lines between geographical sites…Our language fills the cup! It determines what side of the boundary line we are on in reference to the bitter sea/bitter waters.

Revelation 8:11 – “And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.”

This portion falls in the midst of the counting of the omer leading to Shavuot for a reason. 

The title Emor אמר ALEPH-MEM-RESH is a cognate of ‘omer עמר AYIN-MEM-RESH. We are to count onto the presence of יהוה, where the evil tongue/impure mouth is purged during the count, we become those that can declare the Word/Torah! Shavuot is the celebration of a barren woman who becomes fruitful!

We are witnessing a division concerning those who spew the language, religion and rhetoric of Babylon and those who are awakening to the pure Hebrew language.

The bitter waters of Babylon are rising, seething through the surfs veins, seething through every vessel and every ship who is docked in it’s bitter waters where death and wrath are going to be poured out. 

But those who have awakened, those with the the language/seed withing will have a boundary line/border that cannot be crossed – their womb is not tohu v’bohu – void and without form. 

Isaiah 54:11 – “O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, [and] not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.”
