Now it was after these things that God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham.” “Hineni,” he said.
Then He said, “Take your son, your only son whom you love —Isaac—and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains about which I will tell you.”
So Abraham got up early in the morning, saddled his donkey and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. He split wood for the burnt offering, and got up and went to the place about which God had told him.
On the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from a distance.
Abraham said to his young men, “Sit yourselves down here with the donkey. As for me and the young man, we’ll go over there, worship and return to you.”
Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and put it on Isaac his son. In his hand he took the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together.
Then Isaac said to Abraham his father, “My father?” Then he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Look. Here’s the fire and the wood. But where’s the lamb for a burnt offering?”
Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself a lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” The two of them walked on together.
Then they came to the place about which God had told him, and Abraham built the altar there, laid out the wood, bound up Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.
Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
But the angel of Adonai called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham! Abraham!” He said, “Hineni!”
Then He said, “Do not reach out your hand against the young man—do nothing to him at all. For now I know that you are one who fears God—you did not withhold your son, your only son, from Me.”
Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and behold, there was a ram, just caught in the thick bushes by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Abraham named that place, Adonai Yireh,—as it is said today, “On the mountain, Adonai will provide.”
Vayera
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day; he saw it and was thrilled.”
Then the Judeans said to Him, “You’re not even fifty years old and you’ve seen Abraham?”
Yeshua answered, “Amen, amen I tell you, before Abraham was, I am!”
Vayera
Who is like You, Adonai, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, doing wonders?
You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
You in Your lovingkindness led the people You have redeemed. You guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.
When the peoples hear, they will tremble—anguish will seize the inhabitants of Philistia.
Then the chiefs of Edom are terrified. Trembling grips Moab’s mighty men. All of Canaan’s inhabitants will melt away.
Terror and dread will fall on them. By the greatness of Your arm they become still as a stone, till Your people cross over, Adonai, till the people whom You purchased cross over.
You bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, the place, Adonai, that You have made for Yourself to dwell in— the Sanctuary, Adonai, which Your hands have prepared.
Adonai will reign forever and ever!
Vayera
Now even the first one had regulations for worship and the earthly sanctuary.
For a tent was prepared: in the outer part were the menorah, the table, and the presentation of the bread—this is called the Holy Place.
Vayera
But when Messiah appeared as Kohen Gadol of the good things that have now come, passing through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands (that is to say not of this creation),
Vayera
“Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. The one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
For if you were believing Moses, you would believe Me—because he wrote about Me.
Vayera
A psalm of David. Adonai declares to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
Adonai will extend your mighty rod from Zion: “Rule in the midst of your enemies.”
Your people will be a freewill offering in a day of your power. In holy splendors, from dawn’s womb, yours is the dew of your youth.
Adonai has sworn, and will not His mind: “You are a Kohen forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”
Vayera
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question,
saying, “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose Son is He?” “David’s,” they say to Him.
“Then how is it,” He says to them, “that David by the Ruach calls him ‘Lord’?
For he says, ‘Adonai said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I put Your enemies under Your feet.” ’
If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?”
No one was able to answer Him a word. Nor did anyone dare from that day on to question Him any longer.
Vayera
Therefore, since we have a great Kohen Gadol who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua Ben-Elohim, let us hold firmly to our confessed allegiance.
For we do not have a kohen gadol who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all the same ways—yet without sin.
Therefore let us draw near to the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help in time of need.
Vayera
“Can a woman forget her nursing baby or lack compassion for a child of her womb? Even if these forget, I will not forget you.
Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands. Your walls are continually before Me.
Vayera
“Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me.
In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to Myself, so that where I am you may also be.
Vayera
