Now the man had relations with Eve his wife and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “I produced a man with Adonai.”
Then she gave birth again, to his brother Abel. Abel became a shepherd of flocks while Cain became a worker of the ground.
So it happened after some time that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to Adonai,
while Abel—he also brought of the firstborn of his flock and their fat portions. Now Adonai looked favorably upon Abel and his offering,
but upon Cain and his offering He did not look favorably. Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell.
Then Adonai said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?
If you do well, it will lift. But if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the doorway. Its desire is for you, but you must master it.”
Parasha Bereshit 5783
We know that Messiah, having been raised from the dead, no longer dies; death no longer is master over Him.
For the death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
So also continually count yourselves both dead to sin and alive to God in Messiah Yeshua.
Therefore do not let sin rule in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
And do not keep yielding your body parts to sin as tools of wickedness; but yield yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your body parts as tools of righteousness to God.
Parasha Bereshit 5783
Cain spoke to Abel his brother. While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
Then Adonai said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?” “I don’t know,” he said. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Then He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying out to Me from the ground.
So now, cursed are you from the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
As often as you work the ground, it will not yield its crops to you again. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”
Cain said to Adonai, “My iniquity is too great to bear!
Since You expelled me today from the face of the ground and I must be hidden from Your presence, then I will be a restless wanderer on the earth—anyone who finds me will kill me!”
But Adonai said to him, “In that case, anyone who kills Cain is to be avenged seven times over.” So Adonai put a mark on Cain, so that anyone who found him would not strike him down.
Then Cain left Adonai’s presence and dwelled in the Land of Wandering, east of Eden.
Parasha Bereshit 5783
Then Samuel said to Saul, “Adonai sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, listen to the voice of the words of Adonai!
Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: ‘I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt.
Now go and strike down Amalek and put all he has under the ban of destruction—so have no pity on him; but kill both men and women, children and nursing infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.’ ”
Parasha Bereshit 5783
Then Samuel said, “Isn’t it true, though you were insignificant in your own eyes, that you were made head of the tribes of Israel? Adonai anointed you king over Israel!
Then Adonai sent you on a mission and said: ‘Go and utterly destroy the Amalekites, the sinners, and wage war against them until you annihilate them.’
Why then did you not obey the voice of Adonai, but rushed greedily onto the spoil—doing what was evil in Adonai’s eyes?”
“But I did obey the voice of Adonai,” Saul said to Samuel. “I went on the mission on which Adonai sent me, and brought back Agag the king of Amalek—and utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
But the people took some of the spoil, sheep and oxen—the best of what was under the ban of destruction—to sacrifice to Adonai your God in Gilgal.”
Samuel said: “Does Adonai delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Adonai? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, to pay heed than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is like the sin of divination and stubbornness is like iniquity and idolatry. Since you have rejected Adonai’s word, He has also rejected you as king.”
Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned! For I have transgressed against the word of Adonai and your words—because I feared the people and listened to their voice.
So now, please pardon my sin and return with me, that I may worship Adonai.”
Parasha Bereshit 5783
Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from Your presence— take not Your Ruach ha-Kodesh from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.
Parasha Bereshit 5783
Now the Feast of Matzah, which is called Passover, was approaching.
The ruling kohanim and Torah scholars were searching for a way to do away with Yeshua, for they were afraid of the people.
Then satan entered into Judah, the one from Kriot, one of the twelve.
And he went away and talked with the ruling kohanim and officers of the Temple guard about how he might deliver Yeshua over to them.
They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
Parasha Bereshit 5783
“Simon, Simon! Indeed, satan has demanded to sift you all like wheat.
But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
But Simon said to Him, “Master, I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death!”
But Yeshua said, “I tell you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”
Parasha Bereshit 5783
But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about!” And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.
And the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, ‘Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.’
And Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Parasha Bereshit 5783
Then Judah, His betrayer, saw that Yeshua had been condemned. Feeling remorse, he brought the thirty silver pieces back to the ruling kohanim and elders,
saying, “I’ve sinned, betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What’s that to us? You see to it yourself!”
After tossing the silver into the Temple sanctuary, he left. Then he went off and hanged himself.
Parasha Bereshit 5783
At dawn, Yeshua stood on the beach; but the disciples didn’t know that it was Yeshua.
So Yeshua said to them, “Boys, you don’t happen to have any fish, do you?” “No,” they answered Him.
He said to them, “Throw the net off the right side of the boat, and you’ll find some.” So they threw the net, and they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish.
Therefore the disciple whom Yeshua loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around himself—for he was stripped down for work—and threw himself into the sea.
Parasha Bereshit 5783
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that He may lift you up at the appropriate time.
Cast all your worries on Him, for He cares for you.
Stay alert! Watch out! Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, searching for someone to devour.
Stand up against him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being laid upon your brothers and sisters throughout the world.
After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace—who has called you into His eternal glory in Messiah—will Himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you.
All power to Him forever! Amen.
