The principle of châbar/חבר- dove tailing-#2266 to join, to couple (together), have fellowship with.

10 principle applications of châbar/חבר (continued…)

6. Divorce: Mark 10:5 from the beginning (the Book of the Covenant) this wasn’t so, It was given post Golden Calf breach; because of the hardness of your heart. Then Yahusha points us back to the Book of the Covenant perfection: therefore Elohim hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Short answer No. Long answer, if you choose to live outside the covenant with יהוה and live under the BoL with its blessings and cursing’s opting to be out of covenant with your spouse, giving yourself over to a hard heart – then Yes! In your hardness of heart you may think divorcing your spouse is a blessing, but you’ll find yourself cursed, Just ask your children.
7. The Sabbath: Genesis 2:3 Exodus 20:8 expanded on throughout the BoL
8. The Feasts: Exodus 23 the three Ascension Feasts – expanded at Leviticus 23
9. Diet: Genesis 1,6 & 9 – expanded at Leviticus 11.

Genesis 1:29 Yahweh told Adam and Eve at the beginning of creation, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat [food].”

Later, in the Book of the Covenant (BoC) part of Torah YHWH stipulates that the green plant is given for food (Genesis 9:3). Yahweh limited edible plants to those that are green and propagate by seeds.

Genesis 9:3 “Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.”

“Everything” is defined by the change from a plant-only diet to a new diet consisting of plants *and* animals — that is, “everything.” But that doesn’t mean one could eat *every* animal anymore than one could eat *every* plant.

“….I have given every green herb for food, and it was so.” Genesis 1:30

“Every green herb” above doesn’t mean “every-single existing green herb.” It means “every green herb that is appropriate for food.”

Genesis 6:21: “And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.’”

Noah is commanded to take all the edible foods into the ark. So then, not ‘every green herb’ was edible, only ‘every green herb given for food’ was edible.

The so called ‘Seven Noahide laws’ from Gen. are expanded in Exodus 19-24 and later expanded again and put under a Levitical administration including administrative sacrifices (non binding sacrifices).

1. Do not worship idols or other gods.
2. Do not blaspheme YHWH’s name.
3. Do not murder.
4. Do not commit sexual immorality.
5. Do not steal.
6. Do not eat things while they are still alive (i.e., meat with blood).
7. Establish courts of justice (Exodus 21-24).

The apostles taught the additional BoC laws, believers in Yeshua should also keep the commandments of proper worship (the Feast of YHWH) going to the synagogue on Shabbat to listen to Moshe Rabainu (Shabbat keeping) prohibiting the ingesting blood, improperly slaughtered meat, things contaminated by contact with idolatry, and by adopting the Boc’s definitions of sexual immorality and micvah (See Acts 15).

10. “Now how do we live?” We learn to rightly divide the torah under the Malki-tzedik ADMINISTRATION and apply the change of the law to in our lives.
    2 Timothy 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto Elohim a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth/torah.
    Hebrews 7:12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the torah.

Hot button commands from the Book of the Law:

Beards:

Shaving of Beards is a command associated with the mourning of the pagans, accompanied by cutting the body, cutting the hair and cutting the beard. So we should’t not cut ourselves nor rip or ruin our hair out of our beard and our head with violence, that’s sun-god worship.

Tzitzit: Numbers 5:37 to remember all the commandments and seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye used to go a whoring.

Tzitzit were given post Golden Calf because the children of Israel needed a visible outward sign because they’d broken the covenant, some wouldn’t even keep Sabbath because the commands were not written on their heart.

In the post resurrection and New Covenant reality what is more effective; the administration of threads or the administration of commands on the heart?

Which one will produce the desired outcome of keeping the commandments of יהוה more effectively is the point.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts.

End Notes: No covenants under the Levitical Priesthood are ratified by blood.

A ‘covenant’ is an agreement by 2 or more. – It requires, at a minimum a Proposal and an Acceptance.

You cannot impose an agreement. We didn’t exchange one taskmaster for another. While you can impose law you cannot impose an agreement on which a covenant is based.

YHWH didn’t engage with the people with whom he was making this temporal law enactment directly. YHWH set up a perimeter between him and the people in which only Levites could function.

Showing us the already in function Levitical Priesthood Numbers 3:12 at Exodus 34 demonstrating that this bloodless ‘law action’ to be under the Levitical Priesthood Hebrews 7:11 and NOT a Melchizedek Priesthood ‘covenant of promise’ Ephesians 2:12.

It’s paramount we understand the distinction between the initial blood covenant with the first set of tablets and the second set of tablets that was NOT a blood covenant? The distinction of blood and no blood between them identifies that they cannot be one and the same.

Galatians identifies what law was added at Exodus 24:12 after the ratified BoC. Galatians doesn’t mention ‘the five books of Moses’ as the traditional anti nomina church would have you believe nor does it mention the ‘Oral law’ as messianic’s would have you believe NOR does it mention a separate ‘Law of Moses’. It identifies by name the BoL in 3:10.

V.17 of Galatians informs us that the law (now identified by V. 10) came 430 years later and was after the covenant (BoC) . This identifies that the law that was added in Exodus 24:12 after the blood ratified covenant was confirmed was…….V.10 the BoL! The law added in Exodus 24:12 can only be the BoL according to Rav Shaul’s communication to the Galatians and confirmed by Hebrews 7:11.

2 Corinthians 3:13 “ not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: :14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament.”

(A)  The Jewish “vail” of confusion in reading the Old Testament is that Most Jews understand that the ‘Law of Moses’ preserved the lives of Israel for violation of the covenant.

Most Jews do NOT fully recognize that the ‘Law of Moses’ which is the BoL was to remain IN ADMINISTRATION only UNTIL the death penalty position could be paid (the Genesis 49:10 ‘Until Shiloh comes’ clause) allowing all Israel access back to the covenants of promise;  of which the Book of the law of Moses is NOT.

Most Jews do NOT understand that the blood covenant of Exodus 19 has been made NEW by Yahusha.

That’s why they fear setting aside any of the instructions in the law as they knew their lives were preserved by the Law of Moses or BoL.

(B)  The Christian “vail” of confusion in reading the Old Testament is that most Christians know that the ‘Law of Moses’ was abolished when Yeshua established a new blood covenant.

Most Christians do NOT fully understand that the ‘Law of Moses’ was a distinct law enactment and not the whole of the Old Testament ‘law’.

Most Christians do NOT realize that the blood covenant that was made new by Yeshua has Torah/teachings and instructions attached to it.

Most Christians set aside TOO MUCH of the Instructions of covenant because of a misunderstanding of the law and grace.

The veil is there for BOTH Christian and Jew UNTIL, their hearts are turned to יהוה covenants of promise and follow the ‘teaching and instructions/torah of the covenants of promise.

Ephesians 2:14 Yeshua is our peace, He who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is the (Book of  the) Law of commandments contained in ordinances (not covenant), so as to create in Himself  ONE NEW MAN from the two thus making SHALOM.
